This is the end mile and show Everybody welcome back to max out a my guest today is David nurse if you don't know who David is you're gonna be blown away But we're gonna talk about today and it's gonna improve your life I can tell you that for sure always try to bring people on to do that for you But in a very unique and special way today this man is equipped to do that for you. He's a life optimization coach He's the author of pivot and go and he's just got these he's an Iowa boy So I already like you guys know how much I love actionable Items that you can move with immediately and he has loaded with them So it's really a pleasure to have David nurse with me today David. Welcome to the show brother and thank you very much I've been a big time fan and listener of yours. So as much as encouraging as I am.
I'm a you motivate me, man Thank you brother I feel like we're kind of kindred spirits because we both want to make a very similar difference in the world and the more I dove into your work In your content the more and more impressed I became I almost consider myself Maybe a little bit of an addict for the work you do now because some of it is phrased in a way that I've not heard before and that's What I like it's like a young version. I don't know if it's a young Tony Robbins version or what the heck I might call it But I love it. So let's talk first off about pivoting the book pivoting go to but you know right now We're catching a lot of people millions of people that are sort of in this, you know I gotta make a pivot type move and one of the things I love in the book that you talk about is you got to get a perspective You call it like a higher perspective almost in order to make those decisions What do you mean by it's kind of let you go on that tangent from it? Absolutely?
So making a pivot like it's a basketball term where the defense is all over you or life is just sucking you in and you can't See a clear path But you make a small slight turn a small pivot and it opens up an entirely new perspective And it's you know changes very daunting for people when you say hey you have to make this big change No one rarely can anyone do it, but if it's these small these pivots these 1% step pivots That's what can open up an entire entirely different perspective and right now Like we're all going through a time that we feel stuck in some situation We feel stuck and that's one of the worst feelings that we can have me and you we know that that we had to make our life pivot through sports and we poured everything we could into playing professional sports myself the NBA and Had to make that bit like everything that I did to pour into into playing in the NBA was actually for coaching in the NBA So it's it's about looking at something from a slightly different perspective that you're in your entire perspective I think people very hesitant to make you know 50% pivots, you know in one move and that's really not usually where most of the Differences are made they're small David also referenced the NBA I think you're the nephew of Nick nurse who's you know one of the great NBA coach people think the NBA coach right now And then you all know that you know David does this for all kinds of people But his forte particularly for a long time has been with NBA players and you said something I say that everything in life happens for you not to you you say something close to that But a very nuanced in different way that involves preparation almost for the rest of your life How do you word that if you just share that with everybody? Yeah, so I mean it's it's about preparing for the opportunity And I love that you brought up my uncle Nick because he's a great example of this now People see him as winning this NBA championship and like oh, you know first year head coach lightning strikes in a bottle No, he's been a head coach for 27 years And one of my favorite quotes is it takes 10 years to become an overnight success But in next terms 27 years to become an overnight success and and I've seen him coaching over in countries You don't even know play basketball taking players angle pop and pop one at halftime But the thing is he lived in that hey I am an NBA champion head coach and when he was 22 when he started his coaching career He put a picture of himself holding an NBA trophy on the fridge and he saw that every day he lived in that mindset And develop that subconscious awareness of hey, I don't have to be what the world says I am all this self-doubt this negative talk I can be I can live in this NBA champion coach that I know who I'm going to be and now It's about embracing the process of taking what I call 1% steps and this makes it not as daunting 1% steps anybody can do that daily It's not you have to take the whole you look at the big macros Then you take you take the little micros knowing that these steps in the most powerful thing There is is the compounding effect where you stack these 1% days on 1% days understanding It's going to take 27 years to become an overnight success But if you stay with it you will get there not like for your store I love how you just like literally hey I'm gonna work my butt off for these three years and then we'll get there But you put in that work behind the scenes that nobody sees yeah Well, you're also being very humble so did you so most of you probably would know this about him But he was driven to become an NBA player and he now says that all that work he was doing was preparing him for what he's doing now And he this philosophy is you're all doing that It may not seem like it But what you're doing right now is preparing you for what you're destined to do and just you're being humbleday But I happen to know that you basically live in your car for like ever like basis dudes homeless You've traveled around the world kind of really doing not for free But for almost nothing and free often I don't think enough people are willing to sacrifice short-term financially to get the experience to build A reputation to build a brand and then boom the Brooklyn Nets call and kind of the world starts to take off But what I'd like you to address because during that time and during my time I'm sure during next time Duane Johnson's time when he was struggling had all you know Whatever he had in his wallet that he talks about there's a lot of self doubt and I love techniques that help fix things And you've got this thing man with a mirror. Oh, yes, that is just awesome Like I'm waiting the whole week to do this part of the interview right now because I think this is so freaking brilliant So would you share the strategy with people please? Absolutely, man I'm really big on giving people tools actionable steps actually how to do things because one thing to talk about the purpose and the Wise and that's all great But there's a big disconnect between actually knowing and doing so I'll take you through the whole hands example You can put this into into play in your life And this is a tool that we all have so we all have our hands with it So first thing you do when you wake up in the morning is you look at your hands and you see all that they've been through Do this right now if you're listening look at the calluses the cools everything that you have been through you have gotten through So you're gonna get through the next challenging time as well now imagine the most confident person in your life Maybe as a teacher a parent a mentor you see everything that they've been through now your hands are their hands their hands You can get through it as well So you wake up in the morning first thing you do look at those hands you have the confidence self-awareness hands now at some point You're gonna walk past a mirror most often it's early on to brush your teeth or wash your face now This mirror is what I call the mirror of self doubt the foggy mirror We all wake up with self doubt the imposter syndrome is in us when we wake up and we have that choice to live in that And what the world is telling us that we have to be at the expectations or we can take our hands those hands and make the motion of wiping away That foggy mirror so literally there's a power and actually making this motion triggering into our subconscious that hey We don't have to live in this self doubt that we have we wipe away this foggy mirror with our hands So to keep it going with it now So we have these hands we've got a confident hands we have a wiping away the self doubt hands now these hands are service hands too So every room that you enter look at your hands and say the word serve so you know when you step into that room It's not about yourself or what others can do for you what you can get out of it's about what you can give what you can pour into others How you can serve others is that honestly like it?
That is the biggest they take so much pressure off ourselves knowing that it's not all on us But it's how we can give and how we can serve and so these hands try that like it's really powerful man Try that when you enter a rumor when you type an email or write a text you can look at your hands and say serve and The last part of the hands the tool that you always have with you are the encouragement hands and there's a player in the NBA Steve Nash playing the NBA's my favorite player. He would lead the league the NBA high-five is given they take that set high-five Given he gave 239 high-fives a game like literally like encouraging everybody's a two-time NBA all-star He's 6 to unappledic like myself, but yet he was the best teammate that anybody ever had because he was always given high-fives And we can all do that we can be that person who gives high-fives Yeah, sure, maybe it's zoom high-fives right now But we can always be that person that encourages and and looking at your hands and and send maybe it's sending out I do it every morning I send out either three texts or three video messages someone that maybe I haven't talked to for a while Just encouraging note to them and man You wouldn't believe that the amount of change that or trajectory in their life that it's had just like that encouraging note And we can all have that encouragement hands. Thank you for sharing that and guys There's a lot to unpack there like first off if you follow any of my work any of you guys You know that I'm a big believer in triggers great athletes do it But it's something that just now I've been you know I've been teaching for years behind the scenes of business But just now it's becoming more mainstream This is brilliance What he just taught you and it ought to be one of these where you go back a little bit and listen to it again If you're listening to it to give you the physical description if you check out YouTube But hands are an easy trigger and I love that there's multiple triggers that you've created there and all people that I know That perform at a high level have these triggers that they're disposed of they're not just thoughts they're triggers They're fizzing you do enough of these looking at your hands and the wipe away and all of those different things that he's referencing And these hands serve as well and switching it with a confident person those are those are massive massive tools for people It just so happens also that Steve Nash is now the new head coach of the Brooklyn Nets which is like pretty ironic too, right? So it's their new jersey that's I don't think all of themselves now So that is awesome stuff right there brother.
Thank you for that For everybody to practice that technique and one other thing everybody When you hear someone brilliant like David give you these techniques these are things that are more effective the more repetitious They become they're not completely effective the first wipe away. Although you'll feel it the first time you look at your hands Although you'll feel it well I'm gonna tell you the three hundredth time it has massive power in your life The other thing you teach that I love is this notion of terminology the power that words have over us and the redefinition of them And it's like to me right now This is like a master class on pivoting changing self-confidence and improving your life that the elite athletes only get access to guys That you're not getting access to which you kind of dive a little bit into redefinition of terminology such a good question Yes, and this is very powerful So this is actually one of the steps I have a seven steps to develop unshakeable confidence and this is one of them very powerful and being able to redefine Vocabulary and what I mean by that is we all grow up learning that certain words means certain things and we attach them like with failure or success or rich We all think they mean certain things that were taught but not necessarily like let's take for example the NBA's we've been talking about basketball So every time I work with the player I'll ask them when was your last shooting slump and I'll see them already the body language goes down And they're like you know a couple games ago I could make a shot I missed every one of them and then I'll ask them Hey, when was your last shooting hippopotamus and the letter you're like hey, what are you talking about crazy? What but what I'm doing there showing them is just the power in the word They have already thought that this word slump means something bad But it's only if you decide that you have the power to be able to change that just like failure like most people will say hey failures bad They're scared of failure. Some will even say failures away to learn and grow.
Yeah, I agree with that I think failure is the only way to learn and grow so if we can embrace this failure and look at it What I call being in the pit like where you fall down in this pit This is this failure and if you can embrace this and understand this is what's sharpening you This is what's making the fire that makes the diamond even shinier like this pit that you embrace Like this is how you're going to get out of this failure and come out so much better on the other end and like you mentioned earlier It's not about like these these failure times these difficult situation times that happen to us somebody else along the line Is gonna go through the same exact thing that we do now we use this failure not only for our own growth But also to help others grow as well and that's that's so powerful Just being able to redefine that word of failure and even like the word rich I have a chapter in my book called the rich life and it goes into depth of like what really does rich mean I mean you can have a lot of money and you can end up being Steve Johnson miserable on your death But are you rich in your relationships with your family with your kids with your spouse like that's where you can really pour into this Living this rich life and redefining these words that the world says we have to think they're one way we can have them in a different way And guys there's all these words that you use that have certain triggers and power over you as well and Sometimes infusing humorous words for the power word loses all of its influence over you And so sometimes whether it's the hippopotamus word or you know, you know here comes You know this is the angry version of me and you're like now this is poopy pants or whatever I sound silly, but it just you the ridiculousness of it then it loses its power over you same with when you're in these things that we call slums So what not I want to go back for a second because it's interesting for me for a guy that works with athletes for the most part Now you're working with everybody but found his bearings with athletes and I do a lot of work with athletes as well And this is an interesting topic you go to a lot which is service It's not something you think you talked about athlete about how to improve their life And I always say when you're feeling the most helpless become helpful and instantly you're no longer helpless But you said I moved over it too quickly I want to go back to it for me because I'd like to know do you do it every day? How do you do it? Which was the three message thing in the morning? Yeah, so every morning I will send out a message and it's either a text messenger of video message Just a small encouragement to somebody and I'll have my I have a list of all my relationships and everything like Relationships are who we are we are the people we surround ourselves with we know that but also one thing about cultivating relationships Is how you maintain relationships and how you grow relationships?
That's a skill in itself and having people know that you're always there for them You're in their corner like you're there to cheer them on to be their encourager I guess really really powerful man when you get a text message or a video message It just says I'm thinking of you hey checking in on you hope you're doing well like that can change your whole day So I do that in the morning what I call that the big three But I also have the big three in the evening as well And I think this is a great way to be able to track your progress to be able to see how things like in your goals And your dreams and your 1% steps that you're taking is I'll have I'll write down three things before I go to bed Then I'm gonna focus on the next morning So I know that when I after my morning routine I'm able to just go right into my main three points and that it those are gonna be my three focuses as far too often We have so many things bombarding us left and right especially this time during this this virus time We don't know what's coming but to be able to keep that focus on three main things keep it on the main important things So it's it's a good way to remember. Hey three text messages or three video messages three big things and like you're combining those days That's one percent way and one percent way and one percent way and that compounding effect is just kicks into play And I want so so I want you guys to get pivot and go to here the entire routine But you know one thing that I love is that it's simple complexity is the enemy of execution Especially the highest level of things you can't be complicated things that someone's thinking through in a routine They've got to be able to do it quickly. It is interesting that you and I never met until today But I've been from with each other's work for a while But you know I wrote a book and I think the opening line of the book is we have 86 400 thoughts today I start talking immediately about thinking I also do a cold shower. We both use chili pads Maybe we'll get into that and it's amazing how we're both learned to sleep a little bit differently But you talk very eloquently about how many self-talk thoughts you have a day Which is different than total thoughts and then this notion guys if your mind isn't blown so far You're welcome because when you hear about highlight reel which he works with athletes and then you hear about the self-talk thoughts a day This is groundbreaking stuff right here guys, so would you address that first thing?
I know you know what I'm going to do it. I love it And first big credit to you too because it like we're able to give people tools and it's not like super overly complicated You're here too hard to often all these doctors and everybody talking like it sounds great But I don't know how to apply this is way over my head. So yeah, thank you and big credit to you So in the highlight reel is really really powerful. Let's let's start off with the highlight really and that's the moment that you know You feel like you're just in the zone when you're killing it You're having the best meeting the best sales call but for my basketball players the best game that they've ever played and I'll have them watch their their clips so you can visualize yourself your best moment that you've had going through it I'll have to do it every morning when they wake up I'll have to do it before they step on the floor for practice and before they step on the floor for games So constantly you're being put in this frame of mind that this your highlight reel you are at your best You can be this person because these self-talk thoughts fit We have 50,000 on average self-talk thoughts 50,000 80% of those are negative so think about that 40,000 self-talk thoughts negative going through your head throughout the day Like that's terrible but we can pivot this by one tool being living in your highlight reel where you're constantly watching yourself at your best And I mean this isn't something that's just like oh this is airy fairy enough there No, you have done this like you have literally done this you can't do this again You will do this again and we can we can pivot these self-talk thoughts into being 80% positive to 20% negative And just think about how much that can open up just not just for yourself, but how infectious living in that becomes to others Okay, so I'm a mom.
I'm not a mom, but I'm listening to my mom or my business person. I might be a young athlete I could be an entrepreneur whatever I'm a dentist you're saying to me that I ought to put together a highlight reel at the best moments or a moment in my life And I should be visualizing that video when and how often yeah, absolutely like even to the big the more detail You can get with things the better So you're watching like let's say your mom and you made this unbelievable meal or your kid got a great report card all in the same day And it's like this is your most your proudest day now You're gonna do this in the morning when you wake up you can do along with your hands after you're done wiping the mirror clean You can just visually sit there and see this going see that day like see what you wore see what you ate See who you interacted with recreate that day in your mind and that subconscious is where it's actually going to live So you're living in that highlight real zone. So yeah, you can definitely visualize seeing yourself going through that moment that you were you are absolutely At your best and I do it three times a day myself I might be able to do it three times a day, but I do it three times a day I do it when after my morning routine when I'll have my coffee I'll be doing it during that time. I'll do it during lunch.
I'll do it during dinner So I'm scheduling it in but I think it's really important that we actually schedule things into where we're not just gonna Say we're gonna do we put them on the calendar, but to the point of being very detailed about it even for gold So what I want to do a second that everybody because you know one of the things I've done You know without really knowing I did it is every time before I speak when I walk out on a stage I literally go through a highlight reel of the best talk and talks of my career the feeling in my body What it looked like one of the thing with all of you with your visualizations to that I want to tell you is it's like meditation You'll get better at doing it over time. You'll build the muscle up it'll be able to see it more clearly You can slow it down into slow motion. You can change the colors You learn to zoom in and to the extent that you get great at doing it imprints it more deeply and your subconscious mind So get yourself the gift of doing that regularly the other thing you talk about man that I love is you know We've talked about we've had experts on our show about flow state here We talk a lot about focus that was interesting I never heard somebody say this before but you were saying you can have a little bit too much flow and a little too much focus Is it a locus? Yeah, what is that?
It's one of my favorite terms because we all want to be in the flow state and we all want to be focused but often it doesn't go Hand-in-hand but it's that rhythm that you can be in flow cuz so with with basketball players or anybody that is trying to do something at a High level sometimes we over analyze things and we really like okay. I gotta I gotta do this with my elbow on my shot I gotta get to this spot on the quarter I gotta do this in the business meeting that I'm at and it takes us out of that flow that natural rhythm and that the talent that that we Have that we've developed over preparation over time So the key is in this flocus state you are in the flow you're going off all the preparation all those hours that you put in the 10,000 hours rule That's a real thing like that is that is real as much as we want to think there's shortcuts There's not sure it's the myelin in our brain is what develops the muscle memory as we know for for sports for whatever We're doing but also for our mindset too. So we live in the flow that we've developed through the 10,000 hours now We can also be very focused very streamlined while letting our flow being able to take care of the rest So it's you don't I mean both are great, but if you combine them, it's even more powerful. I love it You talk about bum loving this just so you know it's my favorite shows where it's just it's just it's just naturally it goes to people trying to serve Self-confidence is a huge thing.
You know my son just went off to college and people have asked me you know Are you I don't know if I'm a good dad or a bad dad But I know that what I wanted my son to leave with was some sort of moral compass It's for us that comes through faith, but I wanted to be a good person I wanted him to embody really really good work ethic, right? I wanted him to have self-confidence and the fourth thing is I wanted to be able to communicate very well I think if you have those four things in life You've got a moral compass faith you got great work ethic you have self-confidence and you communicate you're gonna do pretty well in the world Those four things the third one so many people just struggle with overall It's right to the core of your work whether it's I think it surprises most people that some of the best athletes in the world also struggle with Self-confidence they think they're alone in this and you do have seven steps. I'm curious right now I said this but why do you think it's such a struggle naturally for humans? It seems maybe it's not naturally We learn it to not have confidence and then could you give us one other thing that you think because you say I infuse people with confidence the athletes You work as a direct quote another step to helping me build myself confidence if I'm listening or watching yes Absolutely great question and first off and like that is we know where we get our joyous through the faith That's so cool that you have your son that like that's why I do everything I do it with with joy because I know I have faith And I know I have Jesus and so first of all that's that's amazing But yes confidence and having this unshakeable confidence is something we all struggle with like 98% of us are thinking of the worst-case scenario Even though 98% of the time the worst-case scenario doesn't happen It's just you know in us to think that worst case is going to happen and so I'll give you an example So the confidence I've reached the confidence gospel to my MBA players for years and years And I've seen it take them literally from from an average players to future Hall of Famers just on that self-confidence alone And I know we all can look around and we we see that the Success we see our results in certain situations we see our resume and we can find some confidence in that and that's that's just that's great But that's just the tip of the iceberg of what true confidence is and understanding This is the foundation literally I think literally of everything for confidence for mindset is true self-awareness And what I mean by true self-awareness is knowing what you stand for why you do what you do and having to be something bigger than yourself So I'll give you an example real quick one of my best friends is Jeremy Lynn Jeremy went through this time with the New York Knicks It was called Lynn sanity.
He was like taking over the NBA. He was he was going game winners 30 point game He was the number one trending thing in the world for weeks But if Jerry was being honest he would tell you that he he didn't really embrace that moment that he was going through that Because he was living in the what if what if I don't keep this up? What will people think of me? What if I can't keep performing at this level and it drove him nuts?
So those results that everybody saw man he should be so confident He was he was very uncomfortable But so one of the biggest things I've seen over my career that I'm the most proud of is seeing Jeremy coming to his own and realize his own Self-awareness and that the fact that he stands for so much more than just basketball Production that he stands for this is Taiwan He's people for his faith in Jesus and for being a great gourmet chef in the kitchen like yes Other than what the world is saying. Hey, this is where you have to be like this is who you have to be so good I Dropped my son off at college and obviously that's self-confidence things the biggest piece of college athlete too It's amazing that you just phrased it though I just want to second things because we've not talked about this stuff It's just remarkable and the last my people that listen to my show regularly will know this I left my son The last thing I said to him is I said remember who you are and what you stand for and all of your confidence can come from those Things and I think there's something by the self-awareness is something I talk about an awful I completely agree with you the other thing is I don't think people give themselves enough credit for their intentions So I think confidence can come from I'm a good person. I intend to do well There's a reciprocity in life You know whether you believe in your Christian like you and I the parable of the solar that you know There's reciprocity in life What you reap is what you sow also which is not the parable of the solar but it's a scripture Karma whatever you think it is in your life that their power to intention that I don't think enough people give themselves confidence Just stemming from their awareness of their intention. Do you not agree with that?
I completely agree that I love that I love that so much on so many levels because I mean what it is at the core is knowing that hey you are preparing for your Opportunity daily. We don't know when that time is gonna come. God has that time and it's on a much better time than we can even imagine But everything you do is a preparation for an opportunity to come the person that you are today How do you act no matter who's watching or no matter what your job title is is going to determine what you're going to be And I have a story in the book one of my one of my former teammates when I was playing in Europe He came over and he was he got a contract with the Spurs and now he was a great player over in Europe He's playing with the Spurs and so he goes from this being the star to this bench guy and he told me he's like I'm going to be the best towel waiver in the NBA like literally He was going to embrace being on the bench and just waving his towel and encouraging others and from that alone Like that became so infectious to teammates where he finally got his opportunity He made the most of it because he was ready because he was going into teammates where he's ended up making about a hundred million Dollars with different teams throughout his NBA career But would have never done that if he didn't embrace the moment He was in and do the absolute best with what he was given understanding that every day was a preparation for a greater opportunity to come How do you do that? How do you in your opinion, you know being in the moment you know I talk about something called blissful dissatisfaction I'm just curious as you take on it where you you find the ability to be present in this moment Even though perhaps it's not the place you'd like to be permanently in other words So I'll embrace a moment right now But you know I am unemployed and I'd like to be working again How do I embrace this moment yet still keep my focus or my at least some of my intention into the future that dynamic?
I guess it's one of the keys to life right we're always gonna be trying to get better and better at it But do you have any insights into that man to be honest? It's it all comes down to like who are you doing it for like if if you're stuck in that situation and it's only about yourself It's only about where you're going to be then you're probably going to be miserable through it I mean you can look at it like hey I'm gonna put a few years into this and then I'll be out of it I understand it's the preparation for an opportunity But even in the times of suck being in that pit like you can really find gold for other people in there and it's I mean I think it just all comes back like no one in my own life experience and being around so many high performers that we know that once Once you fully detach from caring about your own like how you look how you look to others what the media say anything like that and Focus on serving others like genuinely serving others everything opens up man and I recall some story You told about that that I like you to tell because I don't think recall part of it like the cornerstones or Talk about absolutely man. So I was in Israel and if you have an Israel It's amazing like the coolest place in where Jesus walked and there's a temple now Which is the big temple in Jerusalem and there's these cornerstones that are just Magnificent they're huge. They're beautiful.
You can see them right there But the funny thing is is that underneath the surface? There's these cornerstones You can't see that are even bigger even more beautiful. You don't see them on the surface They're not getting the publicity or the look at me like these cornerstones are out there But they are the foundation that grows everything and so whether you have two followers on Instagram or 200 million It doesn't matter like you can be that cornerstone You can be the impact you can change one life and that one person that you change or like to go on and change a million So that it affects you change the million people's lives. Oh really I love that That's I was really hope you think what's interesting about this interview you and I both I think it trips people out About me most of the time too is we're both real brain oriented and science or media We're both men of deep faith and that dynamic is sort of surprising to some people when they hear the two and you know Along those lines.
I want to talk a little about science stuff now just for a second, but I've heard you talk about flow tanks And I just am curious as your take on them tell people what they are number one And if you're a believer in them and what you think they do for somebody if you think they do make a difference Yeah, I mean if what tanks are a great tool an optimization tool that really I mean It's kind of like meditation where you can get into that state where your your mind isn't racing far too often Our mind is just racing with the things we have to do the thoughts that we have and float tanks to me What they do is they really clear my mind It's almost like a reset button to me degree where I can just like when I come out of float tanks And I love the virtual float tanks especially and my NBA teams are jumping on board with this But it's a great way to you know have people to say the detox. It's a great way I think to just hit that restart recharge buttons So everyone if you don't know what it is because we're in a time crunch here I'd encourage you to google it people that I work with everybody that maybe struggle with some mental health issues as well That have tried other things that are like you know that quite work for me I always say at least give the float tank prostis an opportunity for you I'm getting chills just because I've had several people that I've recommended that to tell me it's been great for their mental health For someone in my case, you know, I struggle a little bit with that stuff But for me, it's exactly how you described it, you know I do cold showers and cryo and these other things but for me, it's also a recharge a reset A refocus for someone who's an elite performer to but if you struggle with mental health I think at least giving it a chance of float tank technology you would perhaps find some benefit from now This time I don't know much about what's red light technology. Yeah, so red light therapy is a type of recovery module that is it? The red light is what really it brings out your cells it regenerates Basically everything about you's almost like a supercharger and you get in there like a tanning bed So this is if you can do two combos I would honestly say the float tank and the red light charger red light therapy I'm sure people are familiar with you but it's I mean without knowing that the exact details Super super scientific like it really is a a recharge rejuvenation tool that I mean It's a big time recovery tool for you mentally and physically Well, we covered a lot here today a couple more things one of the reasons I want to acknowledge you though first before we can maybe ask one more question Is I just want to acknowledge you because it's apparent to me your goodness and your genuineness And I love when I find somebody whose actions are sort of lining up with what their souls been calling them to do I just feel like you're right in your purpose doing this brother You're great at it You're a little bit younger than me and I just want to encourage you to continue to grow into this because I think you're remarkable I we have mutual friends we're talking before about Trevor moat and dr.
Andrew Huberman who I just think are amazing people also and You just you're called to do this you're remarkable So I encourage everybody go get pivot and go follow him on social media follow him on Instagram What's your Instagram? What's your Instagram? What's your Instagram? David nurse NBA Instagram?
NBA so you guys get access to what these elite athletes are getting you know every single day I wonder what your advice would be just as a general overall strategy one thing I find myself doing more of that might surprise you is that I'm working with a lot of former athletes and You know this that so many of our brothers that play in the NBA or NFL or MLB or UFC or whatever Their identity is very much tied up in what they do and for a lot of people doing this their identities tied up and I'm a mother Right. I'm an entrepreneur. I'm this I'm that and their identity type and what they somewhat do is opposed to who they are And so a lot of professional athletes struggle post career to find you know, they're young people They're 30 but 35 they're 45 they've got more than half their life left And I think there's a lot of people my guess is today who need a restart? They need literally a pivot they need to change things.
They're you know their career that was maybe not be or maybe they Clined it pretty far and they're like that wasn't what it was cracked up to be that's not what my calling is You know, what would your advice be to somebody who needs an identity shift who needs a new vision? Who needs a new dream again in their life? What council would you give them? Man, that's such a great point and and honestly I would have them sit down and just kind of just just really think about it Take a little time to have some self-assessment and not just just be doing doing and going and going but think about like Why why you wake up in the morning?
Like what juices you up at the end of the day if we don't do something that we're passionate about in some capacity of our life It doesn't have to be your full-time thing yet. You're gonna I mean you're gonna just burn out you're gonna drive yourself nuts So really at the core figure out your purpose figure out what your mission is and thank thank you so much for the kind words I reciprocate them back to you like every time that I hear when your podcast is like this is the most important podcast to you the best And I love it. It's it's so true and genuine and that's another key of it as well like you are pouring into others You're not doing this for your own game, but you're doing it to help everyone else So figure it out your purpose figure not your your drive your passion and then figure out how you can use that to help other people But but the big thing then too is like okay now I need a blueprint and you need to figure out what your big goal is if you could create your ultimate dream life Super detailed write that out and then you're going to figure out what type of steps using these type of tools that you're gonna take to get there And you're not just gonna give up your job that's making income for your family just right off the bat But how can you do something for free in this area? How can you develop a relationship here and it all comes down to like we've talked about relationships?
I call them like golden 15 where I've developed where I poured into other people so much that I know that I have a person in this area Or this like investing or business that I can always turn to for advice and we can all do that like we can all create these So it's it's a commulation of a lot It's I know it sounds like a lot But just hear your purpose your drive what juices you up what gives you that hell yeah when you wake up in the morning Figure out who you're doing it for What can you do it for a bigger purpose to serve others and then create a blueprint and write those steps out and understand that you're going To fall off that horse there is never a straight line of success It's always up and down and curvy to get there But if you stay on that path you take that 27 years to become an overnight success you prepare for that opportunity every single day It's going to come it probably won't come in the package gift wrap like you think it is like you write it out It might be a slight pivot But it's gonna be even better and I'll leave you with one thing one my favorite my favorite quotes and it pretty much kick started my life Well after I put everything I could play in the NBA and I was cut from a second division joke of its team Well Pharaoh said my pro basketball in Spain was I was sitting on my parents were client or chair feeling bad for myself living there for About five months nothing no money to my name nothing my mom said what she was doing dishes David when one door closes For open in an entire beach from patio overlooking the ocean and it caught me up guys like I've never heard that before But it's so true. It's so true if a door closes, it's just four more doors are gonna open but you have to have your eyes open to it Oh, man, mom was right. I've never heard that before either brother And by the way, I would be honored to apply for a position to Sunday be in the golden 15 in your life So I would love it man. I would love it.
