Episode Transcript:

Brad Crowell 0:00  

I'm intrigued by the claims that he was making, because I felt like, if it's reality, then it's amazing.


Lesley Logan 0:08  

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  


Lesley Logan 0:50  

Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the interesting convo I had with Tom Paladino in our last episode. Here's the deal. Normally, this is where I say you should go listen to that one and you should. Unfortunately, our guest passed away two weeks after we interviewed them. However, their family still does their work, and so we decided to continue to share his work and his words with you. So go listen, and if you are still interested in what they do, the family actually still does the scalar work, and you can actually see it on their Facebook group. All right. So anyways, go listen. And now, today, I mean, it's just so interesting, I feel like I just need to take a beat. 


Brad Crowell 1:32  

Yeah. 


Lesley Logan 1:32  

We found out yesterday, before we recorded this, I interviewed a guy last year who was dying of cancer. I knew he was gonna die and his episode came out, he was still alive. And I was like, oh, you're still here. But I, that is, you know, you all think about that. We just think we're gonna live forever. So, anyways, he passed away from a fall. 


Brad Crowell 1:51  

Yeah, he fell and that was it. 


Lesley Logan 1:53  

Yeah, the family decided to donate his organs, which is really cool. And if you haven't yet done that on your driver's license or your iPhone. You should do that because. 


Brad Crowell 2:02  

I think I have (inaudible) driver's license. 


Lesley Logan 2:04  

But didn't you just do it on my health app on my iPhone?


Brad Crowell 2:06  

Yeah, but that's just to tell anyone who picks up your phone that you are an organ donor. It doesn't that's not a legal declaration. You need to do it through your driver's license.


Lesley Logan 2:15  

Well, I currently don't even have my driver's license, so. Brad left it in LA. Ah.


Brad Crowell 2:23  

Sure. 


Lesley Logan 2:23  

All right. Well, with that, well go do that. Go notify the powers that be or at least your family and friends who have you know medical decisions over you. Today is November 7th and it is Project Management Day. About this day. It's International Project Management Day is celebrated annually on the first Thursday of November, and is all about appreciating the important role project managers play on organizations. This year it falls on November 7th. Without project managers, the huge projects companies take on will be, frankly, impossible to achieve. LaVerne Johnson and Lori Milhaven of the International Institute for Learning (I.I.L.) created this day to give project managers the spotlight and appreciation they deserve. Shout out to Meridith who keeps us all on point and on time if you listen to the end credits and if you don't know that line, you don't listen to the end credits, we caught you. 


Brad Crowell 3:10  

Yeah, that's right. 


Lesley Logan 3:10  

And you might not know, might not know a project manager in your life, but you might be one, and so you might be the person who's managing all the projects and the day and today is your day.


Brad Crowell 3:19  

Today is your day. Congratulations. 


Lesley Logan 3:22  

Yeah, to Meridith. Also, we should acknowledge that we are recording this before the election and this episode is coming out after the election, so we are either celebrating like crazy or crying in a dark room. We don't know. 


Brad Crowell 3:36  

It's true. That's very true. 


Lesley Logan 3:38  

I think if you listen to last week's episode with Tia Levings and our recap there, you know, where our heart (inaudible) and also just the fact that we want all of you to live your best life, that should just give it away of where our heart desires (inaudible). And so. 


Brad Crowell 3:51  

And we have rights. Yeah. 


Lesley Logan 3:52  

Yeah. Rights. You know, that thing. And that everyone has equal opportunities to living an amazing life. 


Brad Crowell 3:58  

And voting. 


Lesley Logan 3:59  

Yeah. But that thing, voting, so many ways. I'm just gonna be really honest, I think we take a moment. In this moment, I could be eating my words. I actually think she's gonna slay. 


Brad Crowell 4:09  

It's gonna be close. 


Lesley Logan 4:10  

Fine. Well, that's because we have to get rid of Electoral College, that racist bullshit. Because if we got rid of that, none of us would be taking Prilosec every day. I just feel like a lot of people are excited to vote for her.


Brad Crowell 4:10  

Yeah, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic. Yeah. 


Lesley Logan 4:14  

Yeah, but obviously it's too late to tell you to go vote. Don't vote now, that would be wrong. You should have voted, and if you didn't, you need to make a voting plan and need a project manager in your life. 


Brad Crowell 4:33  

That's right. 


Lesley Logan 4:33  

To make that happen. 


Brad Crowell 4:34  

It's true. It's very true. 


Lesley Logan 4:36  

Okay, we just, like, literally, in recording this, we actually just got back from Cambodia, but we've been back for a while when you hear this, and we are going again in February, and now is the perfect time to snag your spot. You may be wanting to escape, or you might want to celebrate all the possible awesome, amazing (inaudible) that are going to happen in a new democracy here in this, we don't know. We don't, I don't know what's happening in the world right now. But either way, Cambodia is a great place to go to.


Brad Crowell 5:04  

We had a largest group we've ever taken this past trip. 


Lesley Logan 5:07  

Oh, my God. It was amazing. 


Brad Crowell 5:08  

Yeah, it was, we had 21 guests. It was incredible and.


Lesley Logan 5:13  

No. We had 20.


Brad Crowell 5:15  

23 of us total. My guess.


Lesley Logan 5:16  

Yes, okay, okay, okay. 


Brad Crowell 5:18  

And so it was great. It went off without a hitch. We had a great team around us, and incredible food, incredible experiences, amazing temple touring. You know, I was really proud of everybody on our team, and also I was really excited for everyone who joined us, because we lucked out with some of the weather. Obviously, that's one factor we cannot control, and it was a little bit overcast, which was quite nice for when we were out, which is usually like the hot sun, we were in a little bit of shade, so that was great. But we would love for you to join us in February, because this is the kind of trip that is a marker in your life. It will be pre-Cambodia and post-Cambodia. 


Lesley Logan 6:04  

Oh, yeah. 


Brad Crowell 6:05  

And you will talk about this trip for the rest of your life. 


Lesley Logan 6:07  

You all have to just watch Ainsley stand in the rain. And she did that. She came to Cambodia and knows she want to do that, because (inaudible) Cambodia. I do the same workshops, you know, that I've done before. And so I just said to her hey, like, how was that? Because you already did these a year ago. She's like oh, I was such a different person a year ago. It was, like, a whole new experience, right? And we already have people on that one who are coming on the next one, they're already, like, knowing, they know they're doing it again, because it is truly life changing, and it's really spectacular. You just get so good at being so present. You, like, you can only be when you're there, and so it's fabulous. So go to crowsnestretreats.com to snag your spot for February.


Brad Crowell 6:45  

Yeah, come join us. 


Lesley Logan 6:46  

All right, I'm also getting ready to go to LA. I am gonna be camping at Brad's friend's house. I mean, they're my friends now. We've been married for nine years, so. 


Brad Crowell 6:54  

It's true. They're your friends too. Camping is a funny way to say you're gonna use their guest bedroom. But, yeah, camping. 


Lesley Logan 7:01  

Is it a guest bedroom, Brad? 


Brad Crowell 7:02  

It's David's office. There's a pull-out couch. 


Lesley Logan 7:06  

There's not a wall on one side. So I'm gonna call that glamping. But I'm doing that because I'm gonna do the photo shoot for the accessories deck in a couple of weeks, and that means we are getting that much closer to the accessories deck coming out the last deck, and this deck is gonna have the Sandbag, the Two by Four, the Toe Corrector, the push up devices, the Guillotine, the Ped-o-Pull, towel exercises, a pencil exercise, a marble exercise, tons of things you can make at home, only a few you'd actually have to buy. So majority of deck can be used by anybody. And it's really amazing for just supporting your practice if you've been wanting to do Pilates more often, but maybe you can't go to a studio that much like this deck is for you, so you want to be on the waitlist for that. But also the team and I are really trying to get this deck done, because we are tired of releasing decks in hurricane season, so I am on a mission to (inaudible). So instead of it being a late Q2 presale. It would be an early Q2 presale.  


Brad Crowell 7:10  

So that we can ship in the summer. 


Lesley Logan 8:04  

Ship before hurricane season because, holy fucking moly, two hurricanes stop fulfillment wise back to back. 


Brad Crowell 8:12  

Back to back. Oh and last year that happened too. 


Lesley Logan 8:15  

Yeah, no, I'm done. We're done with that. We're not doing that anymore.


Brad Crowell 8:18  

This year was two, two in a row within one month, there was two (inaudible). 


Lesley Logan 8:22  

Yeah, three decks got out in between hurricanes. It was, I mean, everyone's safe. I can't complain. Our decks are safe. We are very, very lucky. But also, I'll be honest with our listeners, some people aren't fucking patient, and the nasty emails of impatient people, I'm like, Helene has caught, all of our people had to evacuate, so they're not at work right now, and UPS is not delivering, so you just need to take a beat and just pray that everyone's safe, and then they'll be delivering shortly. But you know, some people just aren't patient. Most of our listeners are. Thank you so much. But anyways, so that's how I really feel about that opc.me/flashcardwaitlist gets you on the waitlist. Why do you wanna be on the waitlist? Because the waitlist gets the best sale price of the decks ever. 


Brad Crowell 9:07  

It's the truth. (inaudible) 


Lesley Logan 9:08  

So because you'll be the ones who are patiently waiting through hurricane season, okay, no, you won't. We're gonna, we're gonna beat it to it. Then, Brad, you want to take it over? 


Brad Crowell 9:16  

Yeah, totally. Okay. We are back and I am back in my routine doing some webinars here, I'm really excited to be able to share the top three things that Lesley and I have learned after coaching more than 2000 businesses. These are the three things that move the needle on how do you grow your income in your studio, whether that is a home studio, a brick and mortar studio, whether you're renting from somebody and I want you to join me. It's a free webinar. It's called the Pilates Studio Growth Accelerator and it's only an hour. We shortened it. I was doing an hour and a half before, and I just realized it was too long. So come join me. Go to prfit.biz/accelerator that is profit without the O, prfit.biz/accelerator and get yourself signed up for free. Come join me, and I can't wait to dig into this topic with you and share these things that we've learned with you, and then, around the corner before we even realize it.


Lesley Logan 10:13  

Oh my gosh, it's a month from this release. 


Brad Crowell 10:16  

It's so true. 


Lesley Logan 10:17  

Like, the first stop is on the sixth of December. So it's in one month, the winter tour. You guys, you have to come.


Brad Crowell 10:24  

Yeah, come party with us. It's going to be so fun. 


Lesley Logan 10:27  

We have 23 cities at the time we're recording this, seven cities are sold out of classes. 


Brad Crowell 10:31  

I can't even believe it, literally, on the very, y'all are impressive, okay. On the very first day that we announced that there was tickets, three spots sold out within 24 hours? 


Lesley Logan 10:41  

Three cities sold out in 24 hours. Yes, yes. And five within 48 and now we're at and then Boston sold out in 24 hours of it being announced. So you guys, I can't even list the cities without looking at it, so just go opc.me/tour (inaudible). We're starting in Sedona, we're doing Oklahoma City. And then I forget the third, is the New Orleans the third one? 


Brad Crowell 11:05  

No, Memphis.


Lesley Logan 11:06  

Memphis. 


Brad Crowell 11:06  

And then Huntsville. 


Lesley Logan 11:07  

And then Huntsville, Alabama. 


Brad Crowell 11:09  

Yeah, New Orleans is on the way home. 


Lesley Logan 11:10  

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then from Huntsville, Alabama, I. 


Brad Crowell 11:13

Lesley Logan 11:18  

And then Maine and then Boston, and then Cape. 


Brad Crowell 11:21

Lesley Logan 11:22  

When's Providence? 


Brad Crowell 11:23  

After that. 


Lesley Logan 11:24  

After that. Greenwich. 


Brad Crowell 11:25  

Yes. 


Lesley Logan 11:26  

Then we have Christmas and then, and then, from Christmas. 


Brad Crowell 11:30  

We're going down, I think, I don't know if we have a stop in Delaware. I think we're just going to Delaware to see the fam. 


Lesley Logan 11:35  

No stop in Delaware. 


Brad Crowell 11:36  

And then we go down to South Carolina. 


Lesley Logan 11:38  

Yeah, Charleston, Miami, Tampa, Pensacola. 


Brad Crowell 11:42  

Yep, then Pensacola, New Orleans, Austin, Dallas, Lubbock. We have Lubbock.


Lesley Logan 11:50  

Yeah. They promised me a good latte. They said they have it. They said it's a college town.


Brad Crowell 11:55  

Lubbock and then. 


Lesley Logan 11:56  

Phoenix. 


Brad Crowell 11:57  

Yeah, then we're gonna go over to Phoenix. 


Lesley Logan 11:58  

We just named them. 


Brad Crowell 11:59  

I can't believe it. I think that's 23 (inaudible) we may have, I think we got them all. 


Lesley Logan 12:02  

I hope we didn't miss any. (inaudible) Anyways, if we missed you, you must be sold out. 


Brad Crowell 12:07  

It's gonna be amazing. We kick off the beginning of December, and we literally 


Lesley Logan 12:10  

(inaudible) Virginia Beach. 


Brad Crowell 12:11  

Oh, that's where it was. Virginia Beach. Okay. 34 days on the road y'all. 34 days on the road. So come hang out with us.


Lesley Logan 12:20  

We're gonna love each other more or. Just saying.


Brad Crowell 12:24  

Yeah, and we will be bringing our pups, two of them this time, obviously, but they'll be with us.


Lesley Logan 12:28  

Oh, I don't think we've told everyone we said goodbye to Gaia. I don't think, we did it online only, we didn't tell our listeners.


Brad Crowell 12:35  

Well, if you haven't heard it's been a month since us recording this, Gaia has taken the rainbow road. 


Lesley Logan 12:42  

Yes, the rainbow bridge. 


Brad Crowell 12:44  

It's been a challenging, one of the most challenging decisions that I've ever had to make in my life, but she's in a better place so. 


Lesley Logan 12:53  

Yeah. And also, our boys are really quiet and you know that from listening to podcasts since she's fast there's no flapping of her collar or digging at the chair. 


Brad Crowell 13:06  

Or scratching at the door or barking at nothing.


Lesley Logan 13:11  

We also have a little bit more time. It's really weird. I miss her, though. It's so I look at the art, the artist is fucking awesome for this tour. You guys. It's like a rap album. It's fucking off. 


Brad Crowell 13:20  

Yeah, it's fun. 


Lesley Logan 13:21  

And I actually had to look at it before she passed away, and I, because I had to approve it, and I didn't want you to see it, and I had to approve it without her on it. And I was like, so anyway, she's not on it, and people are like, oh, there's only two, but there's two boys, they can't wait to see you and it's gonna be a lot of fun. So opc.me/tour to get your tickets, workshops are all levels, so you don't have to be a teacher to get them. There are CECs if you are a teacher. 


Brad Crowell 13:48  

Even the classes are also all levels. So yeah. 


Lesley Logan 13:49  

Classes are all levels. So come, come, come, trust me. 


Brad Crowell 13:51  

Even if you're brand new. 


Lesley Logan 13:53  

Oh yeah. I have literally had a class of eight teachers and two first timers, and let me tell you, they slayed. So, me too. So go to opc.me/tour this is the winter tour, we talked about this before, it is awesome, because it's either the best excuse to get you away from your family during the holidays, or it allows you to bring your family with you and you have a shared experience. But I'll entertain them for a couple of hours. You don't have to do anything. So, yeah.


Brad Crowell 14:17  

Awesome. Well, before we move into talking about Tom and digging into scalar light, we had an audience question. So Theresa8294 on YouTube asks, hey, Lesley, on a Balanced Body Allegro 1 Tower, which springs are leg springs and which springs are arm springs? Here's what I have. I have the long yellow and purple and I have the shorter yellow and red.


Lesley Logan 14:17  

Yeah, I love this question. For any Balanced Body piece that's not Contrology, it's always these springs.


Brad Crowell 14:33  

And if you have no idea what any of this means, I mean. 


Lesley Logan 14:41  

That means you're not doing Pilates. So here you go. So first of all, I just want you to know, on in the Cadillac tower flashcard deck we actually explain which springs to use and where to put them on your Tower or your Cadillac, so that you have the right angles, because the angles make all the difference, okay? So I literally give you the measurements. You can measure to make sure you're using the right hook or the, putting your sliding bar at the correct place. As far as the springs go, the purple springs are going to be your leg springs, and the long yellow I would use those as leg springs if you are like, if the purple springs feel like they're pushing you around, but ideally, you're at the purple springs because we need to help you get up and down off a toilet or off the ground. Okay, so I don't typically use the long yellow unless I have someone who's just really can't do the purple. The short yellow are great for arm springs. The red springs are used for your push through bar. Now, I'm gonna say all that, and I'm gonna say I really love the CenterLine® from Balanced Body. That line has gray springs, and I recommend getting two sets, one set for your rollback bar, one set for your arm spring, and ditch those short yellows. They're really light. So that's my opinion. And you can use our affiliate link to buy anything that you want over at Balanced Body and Contrology and that's what you do. So there you go.


Brad Crowell 16:07  

All right, now, let's talk about Tom Paladino. Tom was a passionate and positive scalar light researcher dedicated to making the world a better place, inspired by Nikola Tesla and guided by the legacy of Dr. T. Galen Hieronymus, he developed advanced scalar light instruments that enhanced health, balanced energy fields and neutralized over 400,000 pathogens Driven by his commitment to positive change, Tom used scalar energy to improve both the physical and emotional wellbeings of others. Yeah.


Lesley Logan 16:37  

Yeah. So, you guys, it would, you send, you can still email a picture of you or your loved ones, and then he, if you look in the YouTube video, you can see the tool that he uses behind him, and it, it's really quite, quite crazy, like he could just touch it, and it turned, I, this is where I'm gonna be really honest. This is where, you guys, I discovered that you could just do study hall in high school. I didn't do, I didn't do physics. I, also when quantum was added to the math class, I was out on that. So this is really over, over my educational head. 


Brad Crowell 17:14  

I'm just gonna go with I'm 1000% skeptical on this entire thing. 


Lesley Logan 17:19  

Right. But then I went on his Facebook page to look about his passing, and everybody is like, you healed this sister, you healed this person. Here's the thing, I also think a lot of people could say that about, you know, we've had Louise Swartswalter on and there's a couple other people that. 


Brad Crowell 17:35  

Yeah, I, that doesn't, none of that, like, this to me, I can't understand. I struggle when people tell me that science hasn't caught up to this science yet. 


Lesley Logan 17:44  

That's true. That is (inaudible).


Brad Crowell 17:45  

So you know, as soon as you go down that road. I'm like, is this a cult? You know? So. 


Lesley Logan 17:51  

He, yeah, I agree. Because also now when people don't believe in science, I get a little skeptical of them, but he's not not believe in science. He just said science doesn't caught up to him. 


Brad Crowell 17:58  

I know. So it's like walking a fine line, and there's definitely some logic behind it. But then there are some complete leaps and bounds of faith that you have to have that, for example, that your aura is associated with a photo. 


Lesley Logan 18:13  

Right. That, that's true. 


Brad Crowell 18:14  

I don't know if I can reconcile that. I don't understand how, I understand how a body, a physical being, has an aura because we emit energy. But when you take a photo of that body, then there's. 


Lesley Logan 18:25  

I know, well I don't. 


Brad Crowell 18:26  

Not sure I'm on the same page there.


Lesley Logan 18:27  

Isn't the Aborigines who are like against you taking a photo of them because they feel like it takes something of your soul. Here's the thing about faith, according to Tia Levings that's what you need for a lot of things. And so if this sounds cool to you, that's cool to me. If you're skeptical, it's also okay. I think it's okay. I think there's nothing wrong with being skeptical at somebody. But here's the deal, so he says quantum healing is not physical.


Brad Crowell 18:27  

Well, before we go even into that, I think we can say that he 1000% believed in what he did that was very clear, and he also was.


Lesley Logan 18:43  

There's something very inspiring about that. 


Brad Crowell 19:00  

And he also was very positive and came across very kind. So I'm intrigued by the claims that he was making, because I felt like, if it's reality, then it's amazing.


Lesley Logan 19:12  

Right. I agree it would be really, really cool if it works, and also if it and for the people who had to work for like that, I don't want to take that away from them. So at any rate, I had talked to him about how he does his day and what's going on, because he claims, like, I've never been sick. I'm never on any medication. And here's the thing, he didn't die from an illness. He died from a fall. This is the, that's like, the fucking ironic, you know? So that's when you're like, wow, I don't know if it's your turn, I guess, but it's, I find it really fascinating. So yes, you send your, you email them your picture, and you can email, you told me, I can email a picture of Gaia. I didn't, because I knew what we're doing, and I was like, we can save the prayer of something we have to make a decision on. But so many people on that Facebook page have sent pictures and really credit what he does as work that has helped people in their lives or themselves with their health stuff. So I think that's really cool. He also really credits his wife Nita, who, I read her post about their love and oh my god, so beautiful that. Anyways, she mandated his diet, and he didn't overeat, and he exercised daily, and he was happy and doctors said he was also very healthy. So, you know, I will say, I think several times I try to figure out what it was, and I really had a hard time getting out what the scalar light is, scalar energy is. But I'll say, for a lot of these, would you call it, not worldly, but these other type of exercises out there, I still feel like I don't really get great answers out of I don't feel like the definitions are there, and maybe because it's still being defined. So I really can't give a better description, unless you have a better description of what I listened to. 


Brad Crowell 20:54  

No. I mean, I think it's a conversation worth exploring and understand, like, beginning to understand. 


Lesley Logan 21:00  

Well, I kind of, like, if it really does work, it would be really cool if science would just test it out. That could be really cool. And so his family is still doing it, so maybe that could be an option. 


Brad Crowell 21:09  

Yeah. Well, he talked about quantum healing, not being physical healing. And I don't really understand that, but he said the energy from the sun. 


Lesley Logan 21:16  

Well, I think it means he's not touching you, so he's praying over your picture, but he's not physically touching you. You don't have to go to him. That's the thing that's actually really accessible about it, is that you don't have to go to a doctor if you have a rare cancer and you are going to go to the one doctor who does it, you have to fly there. He doesn't have, that's how I took the physical. 


Brad Crowell 21:35  

Yeah, okay, that actually makes sense. But he was talking about the energy, effectively, the machine he built is harnessing energy from the sun, and then he's passing your photo through the fields that are being collected from this machine that he built. And, yeah. 


Lesley Logan 21:53  

Yeah. Watch the YouTube. Go see it. 


Brad Crowell 21:55  

Yeah. 


Lesley Logan 21:56  

He showed me. 


Brad Crowell 21:57  

He did. I saw it. I saw it.


Lesley Logan 22:00  

Well, what did you like? Let's move on to what you like.


Brad Crowell 22:02  

I like that you kept asking him questions about him instead of questions about what he does. 


Lesley Logan 22:08  

I just, well, I think also I really like to know the people behind the things. I find that helps me understand especially when I'm like, I couldn't wrap my head around it. And so then I was like, okay, well, I can't wrap my head around it, so let me get to know the person who's behind it, because I also thought Pilates was shit, and then I really liked it, and then people who doubt what Pilates is but they really like me. So I feel like I can't stand here and be too skeptical of something, because there's plenty of people who are very skeptical at what I do, and there's not a lot of scientific studies about what Pilates does because the ones that are out there, they're doing exercises that I don't even teach. So there's actually no scientific study on exactly what I do, saying the claims that I have. So, you know.


Brad Crowell 22:50  

Yeah, I get that, but there's also a lot of logic involved in Pilates. Look, you asked him about passion. And he said passion is the reason why people get up, why they go to school, why they work, why they have kids, why they get married, etc. And he really encouraged people to believe in God, believe in yourself, to have goals and have objectives. You kind of asked him about skeptics of his work, and he said, with absolute confidence, that you cannot listen to the negativity of the unbelievers effectively. He said he experiences comments like that all the time about his work, but he never lost sleep over them. And I felt like that was actually really. 


Lesley Logan 22:51  

We all learned something from that. 


Brad Crowell 22:52  

That's important. It really is, you know, because there will always be people who are going to derail you or try to derail you, whether or not they're being intentionally malicious or ignorantly maligning, you know, or dis-railing you, there are people who are going to take you off the path, right? And that could be people who love and support you, but are afraid of you, and they're projecting their own fear into this situation, right? And they're telling you to be careful and be cautious and don't do the thing because, or maybe it's like your parents who were like, you want to be an artist, you got to go get a real job, right? So it's 100% what he's saying. I believe that. If you subscribe to what the negative people are going to say, or people who are projecting that fear on to the thing that you're chasing that will derail you totally. Ask any professional athlete, did they have to be single-minded and put the blinders on and not listen to the community they grew up in, or the people that are in their household, or the whatever. I'm sure they would agree with this as well.


Lesley Logan 24:39  

Yeah, yeah. I think so. I think we get all, take that as a great takeaway. You've got to have passion for what you're doing. Otherwise, like, what are what are we doing?


Brad Crowell 24:47  

Yeah.


Lesley Logan 24:48  

And if you don't have passion, because you like, I am a trash collector. I make great money, and it pays my bills, take care of my kids, I have health insurance, I can have this house on my head, then be passionate about your kids, or be passionate about a hobby you have. It's okay to just do a job, but we all have to have some passion in life, otherwise we're kind of just going through the motions. And so if you haven't found something you're passionate about, maybe you're passionate about donating your time to the animals and walking foster care dogs or something like that. I promise you, it gives you a lot of life. And I will say Tom is very vibrant and energetic. He was so passionate. It was both times I've talked to him, because I talked to him before we got him on the pod, I was like, I don't really get this, but he really cares.


Brad Crowell 25:28  

Yeah. And he said, if you follow your purpose in life, that's it, remove all the extraneous noise. So yeah. In that sense, he definitely took his own advice, and I'm excited. I think that's positive. I think that's helpful.


Lesley Logan 25:43  

You guys, this is two weeks before he passed away. Like what great advice that we could all learn from even if we don't use scalar energy.


Brad Crowell 25:50  

Yeah. All right, stick around. We'll be right back. 


Brad Crowell 25:53  

All right. So finally, let's talk about those, be it action items, what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Tom Paladino? He said you have to be happy in life. If you want to change your life, you need to take gradual steps, one goal a day, one small goal a day. Imagine if you have only one goal, just one improvement a day, and only do that Monday through Friday, that's 200 if you only do those small improvements Monday through Friday, you're at 200 improvements a year or in business, whether that's in your home life, your family life, or your social life. And he said, imagine 8 billion people experiencing benefits every single day around the world, if we were focusing on progress, on one goal a day. And he said, that's what the world is missing. Now we need to stop fighting each other, and we need to have progress. We need to make progress. 


Lesley Logan 26:45  

I love all of this. I just told our agency members during their breath work session at the end, I was like, you're all doing too much. If you just did one thing each day the rest of the year, that'd be on the day that we're recording this. I mean, 92 things, right? That was October 1st and December 31st, like, 92 things. It's a ton of things. That is so many things. I bet you don't even have 92 things on your to do list. We just cleared it, but you're trying to do 17 things in one day. That's why you're fucking it up. And so I really like that. I like that action item. 


Brad Crowell 27:14  

Yeah, I think that's, an incredible addition to it is, you know, we pile so much on our plates, and we've got like 10 projects we've got to start or do or tackle, or do finish or whatever. And what if we just did one of them, just did one and got to the point where it was finished and we start the next one, we'll probably actually finish all 10 projects faster than if we try to juggle them all at the same time. 


Lesley Logan 27:39  

Is that, are you looking in the mirror when you say that? 


Brad Crowell 27:42  

Yeah, I was looking right past myself.


Lesley Logan 27:44  

Someone has a Be It Action Item for themselves. Okay, my turn. He said change for the better. In order to make an improvement, we have to change. If things aren't working out, we have to change. Take small steps towards improvement even if it means doing something new or unfamiliar. And we just released an episode literally October 22nd, Lisa Schlosberg said, "You are uncomfortable, not unsafe." So when you are making these different changes and you're doing something that's new or unfamiliar, it can make you uncomfortable, but you're not unsafe. And when you do those things, you change for the better. So I'm like adding a little of this and a little of this, and I'm making it all up. I really love it. 


Lesley Logan 28:25  

So anyways, I think fascinating conversation, very interesting. If you try it out, let us know how it goes. To Tom's family, who's working on it, I'm really sorry, because he was so passionate. What kind of amazing energy and positive energy to be around all the time. That is a loss. And he cared so much for so many. He is praying for so many people. So I know that is never gonna get easy to have said goodbye to him so soon or ever. But Tom, thanks for sharing your energy and passion with us, and I think we all can like have a little takeaway of something you said. So, I'm Lesley Logan. 


Brad Crowell 29:00
