There's no rules in this Bitch. Okay. So we're going to talk about whatever you want, whatever we want, because we're going to spin it and let you all know what we're going to talk about for 15 minutes. I'm going to give you rapid fire stuff. There are the coaches on the everyday guy. I'm going to challenge them because who the fuck are they to tell me what to do?
00:00:17:26 - 00:00:36:16
Jason
They don't know me. They do know me. Known me for a really long time. But that's not the point. The point is, we're here to give you guys a fun podcast and hopefully you learn some chill on the way. Welcome, guys. This is another episode of Mindset U this episode number 61, 62 now. This will be sixty...
00:00:36:17 - 00:00:37:18
Moises

00:00:37:18 - 00:00:49:25
Jason
61. Episode 61. I had a ten milligram edible. I'm feeling great. Got my pets around. It's a good time. It's me and Moises today. Rances is in California.
00:00:51:08 - 00:00:54:26
Moises
He's at Universal now. He's at Universal right now.on
00:00:55:07 - 00:00:56:12
Jason
Is at Universal right now.
00:00:57:08 - 00:00:58:07
Moises
He's at Universal.
00:00:58:28 - 00:01:09:07
Jason
Very jealous. I'm very jealous that Kevin, my boy Kevin, was in Disney this past weekend and then fucking Rances is in Universal.
00:01:10:24 - 00:01:28:21
Moises
He literally he literally sent me a voicemail when I was trying to get into his apartment to get the equipment. And a voicenote saying, I'm at a ride in Universal. Just text. Like he's literally on the ride sending a voicemail to me while I like I just heard all of noise in the background and was.
00:01:28:22 - 00:01:30:07
Jason
Screaming .
00:01:30:07 - 00:01:32:12
Moises
and I cant tell if he’s being a dick or if he just like being Rances.
00:01:33:05 - 00:01:37:05
Jason
he’s being genuine so he can on his ride.
00:01:38:06 - 00:01:42:06
Moises
Or is he Like, I'm on a ride and I want him to know I'm on the ride.
00:01:42:07 - 00:01:48:09
Jason
I'm having a good time. It's probably a mix of the two. It's a mix of the two. But this also ties into our thing of competition.
00:01:49:24 - 00:01:53:14
Moises
Yes. Yes. I can't tell if Rances is being competitive or not.
00:01:53:21 - 00:02:16:23
Jason
We can never tell if he's being competitive. And I think that's the genius behind Rances But yeah, I wanted to talk about competition today because I've been balls deep in the last dance and just everything that's going on in the sports world and just life in general. A lot of stuff is happening. The Knicks, you know, going to make it to the second round of the playoffs.
00:02:17:12 - 00:02:18:02
Jason
We don't see that to.
00:02:18:06 - 00:02:20:21
Moises
Jinx it in front of. Don't jinx it.
00:02:20:21 - 00:02:26:09
Jason
It's three one. And you know, they're going to possibly get what they need. One more.
00:02:27:12 - 00:02:33:00
Moises
Yes. So, I mean, the NBA playoffs is really fun to watch right now.
00:02:33:15 - 00:02:37:11
Jason
It is. It's a lot of times, I think, shaken up. So it's.
00:02:37:18 - 00:03:02:10
Moises
Yeah, it's you have all these young teams at the top who are doing well. There are like number two, one seed. And then you got like all the veterans, you've got a championship team and number six, why you got one? They're tied two, two with one of the best offensive teams in the league. And then you have LeBron James and the Lakers who literally had to play a Play-In tournament and they're up against the number two seed.
00:03:02:20 - 00:03:05:26
Moises
So, like, it's crazy right now and then it's pretty.
00:03:05:26 - 00:03:06:07
Jason
Wild.
00:03:07:18 - 00:03:10:24
Moises
How just competition has increased over the years and just.
00:03:10:24 - 00:03:32:03
Jason
It's basketball is fun again but it's fun again. It's it's fun again now because you don't have that one team that is fucking dominating every single fucking time, you know? So it's good. But speaking of competition, I really wanted to pick your brain about that because you are a coach, you have played competitively pretty much your entire life.
00:03:32:23 - 00:03:43:24
Jason
Most your life is competition. So I figured you'd be the best person to talk about it with because you are also one of the most competitive people I know. But I think back to it.
00:03:45:11 - 00:03:49:24
Moises
I mean, definitely when I was yeah.
00:03:49:24 - 00:03:50:12
Jason
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:50:16 - 00:03:54:18
Moises
You know, I still have a lot of that now, but for sure when I was.
00:03:54:18 - 00:04:19:08
Jason
Younger, it's definitely toned down. It's definitely toned down. So yeah, I really wanted to pick your brain about it because one, your coach and I wanted to see like your view on, on, you know, competitiveness and, and that too. Does everybody need to have a competitive drive to them? It's it's a blanket. It's the kind of thing. Yeah, right.
00:04:19:22 - 00:04:35:25
Jason
But it's like you kind of need to be a little bit competitive in your journey to even if it's with yourself, I guess, to want to get better at something or just to be the best. You you kind of have to be competitive, right? Yeah. But what's out there?
00:04:36:22 - 00:04:53:05
Moises
Yeah. So I'm assuming that this is the question comes up for you while you watch the last dance and you're saying, well, Michael Jordan sacrificed a lot of his relationships because he was so competitive. I think to be too personally, I don't know. The answer is.
00:04:53:22 - 00:04:54:06
Jason
I don't think.
00:04:54:06 - 00:05:01:19
Moises
Anybody's wrong thing. I don't think I don't think there is an actual answer to right or wrong. I was just kind of it was really it's.
00:05:02:01 - 00:05:02:06
Jason
Penny
00:05:03:19 - 00:05:31:09
Moises
Penny. So I don't I don't really know the answer, but I would say that competition is important. I don't think you can live without it and be successful. I think there has to be a degree of competition that exists within you. And to say that you are not competitive is hard for me to believe, for anyone to not be competitive.
00:05:31:27 - 00:05:34:23
Jason
Yes, we can. Because one way or another. Yeah.
00:05:35:03 - 00:05:55:12
Moises
And something either that or I would think it goes into like an ego complex because like if you look at Michael Jordan, it was an ego complex. He wanted to be the best. He wanted to be superior in that game. And he was and because he used that ego complex to become the best, he actually did. Right. So.
00:05:55:28 - 00:06:18:01
Moises
But then there's some people that are afraid of being the best and they have an ego complex where they don't or they don't consider themselves to be competitive. So they like, Oh, I'm not competitive. But in reality, when they lose at something or when they're given an opportunity to play in a competition or game, they might reject that opportunity because they don't like losing.
00:06:18:24 - 00:06:37:15
Moises
And so I think, yeah, so I have a person in my head that I think of when, when I think about competition, I don't want to say this person's name, but we know who we're talking about. You know, we're talking about are you in my head?
00:06:37:15 - 00:06:41:29
Jason
You know what? You you don't want to say it. Could it possibly be?
00:06:42:24 - 00:06:48:14
Moises
Well, you could just blanket out the name. Maybe we can just like bleep out the name or you could just be just bleep it up.
00:06:48:25 - 00:06:50:09
Jason
Yeah, Rances.
00:06:50:14 - 00:07:02:07
Moises
Who do you think is all Rances? Nah, Rances is competitive. No, he's competitive. Yeah. It's not Rances. It is somebody that. its $#@%
00:07:02:07 - 00:07:05:11
Jason
Oh, yeah.
00:07:05:11 - 00:07:05:26
Moises
So.
00:07:06:02 - 00:07:07:03
Jason
Oh, yeah, we spoke.
00:07:07:03 - 00:07:30:24
Moises
About we spoke about this VidaProject many times because he would say he's not competitive, saying, oh, I'm not competitive. And, you know, I don't think I think games are stupid, blah. And everything he likes to do is by himself. But whenever there is an opportunity for him to to be competitive, he was scared of that opportunity because he was scared of losing.
00:07:30:24 - 00:07:50:24
Moises
He was scared of fear. And he was scared of not not being accepted by a team. So he would say that he was not competitive versus saying, I'm afraid of losing, even though in reality he was competitive. Got it. So that's one person that I think of when I think about these exit scenarios is like, Oh, I'm not that competitive.
00:07:50:24 - 00:08:01:21
Moises
And like a Yeah, you are. You just don't like losing. And I think that's the most important part of being competitive is that you have to know how to lose.
00:08:02:17 - 00:08:21:10
Jason
Yeah, I think, you know, like reflecting back on that now like younger, like, you know, I mean I never played competitive sports growing up, you know, and stuff like that. And I think I had this whole thing like, Oh, I don't like, like I was always competitive with my friends and stuff like that, but I don't think I ever had that like, oh, I don't want to compete in a sport kind of thing.
00:08:22:14 - 00:08:39:10
Jason
One, because I wasn't good into it because I didn't want to lose it, just like I look at it the same way of like having that fear of like talking to girls, you know, me being like real shy, like introducing yourself to a girl when we were younger and stuff like that. It's like, I wasn't afraid of talking because I could talk.
00:08:39:21 - 00:08:56:08
Jason
I could talk. I was afraid. The rejection, and I was afraid to lose. I was like, Oh, I don't need to go talk to girls blah blah blah you know? So it kind of makes sense. Like, I look at it, I look at it a little bit differently now. When you paint it like that, it's like, No, no, you're competitive.
00:08:56:08 - 00:08:59:09
Jason
You just didn't want to play the game because you're scared of losing.
00:09:00:09 - 00:09:02:26
Moises
Yeah, and that's essentially what happens. Everybody in life.
00:09:04:00 - 00:09:05:02
Jason
In one way or another.
00:09:06:03 - 00:09:28:11
Moises
So to say that you're not competitive is denying a human like part of you. Yeah, because like you can say somebody, like, for example, anybody in a relationship that, you know, loses their partner, breaks up with their partner and their partner decides to be with somebody else. There's not a part of you that's a little bit jealous of that.
00:09:28:15 - 00:09:32:00
Moises
It's not a part of you that's questioning who you are as an individual.
00:09:32:00 - 00:09:34:13
Jason
Yeah, you learn everything. Yeah.
00:09:35:09 - 00:09:53:21
Moises
That's a form of competition. Yeah, right. Because now you're looking at the other person and you're saying, What is this person better than me? Okay, better at what? So then what game are you playing? A game are you playing in your mind? So there is a competitive nature and I think if it comes down to feeling superior in some.
00:09:53:21 - 00:09:54:07
Jason
Oh, totally.
00:09:54:11 - 00:09:55:11
Moises
Whatever it is, totally.
00:09:56:15 - 00:09:59:09
Jason
Totally. Take a look at it now with no continue.
00:09:59:14 - 00:10:00:19
Moises
God, no, no, go ahead.
00:10:01:09 - 00:10:19:06
Jason
Oh no. I was just say like I look at it even now, like with with boxing, like I find it uber competitive now. Like I love sparring and it part of me is like, oh, just like to get better. No part of it. I want to see how good I am compared to whoever else has the balls to step in there.
00:10:20:06 - 00:10:58:00
Jason
I think, um, and it's a lot of fun. It is. It's like a high almost, because, like, you, you have no choice but to compete in that moment or else you're going to get hit, you know? I mean, it's like hitting don't be hit kind of thing. And sometimes you have to take a few hits blah blah blah But I find it more interesting now in the fact that I like that I want to do my first amateur fight where it's like, Oh, like I want to explore what it's like to actually be me when it comes to fighting.
00:10:58:00 - 00:11:24:23
Jason
It's a boxing, not fighting, but it's a boxing because it's one of those things that, like at the gym, it's like you don't go all out because you don't try to hurt the person that you're moving around with because like you go to the gym to go, it's a brotherhood, sisterhood, it's everybody, you know. But I'm excited to explore that after watching like The Last Dance, I'm excited to to know what it's like to be mean and be real competitive, be kind of cutthroat almost.
00:11:26:04 - 00:11:34:27
Jason
And I'm excited for September. Like, I'm I really can't wait to, like, I'm devoting all my time to, to getting ready for this.
00:11:35:20 - 00:11:37:27
Moises
So it's gonna be fun.
00:11:37:27 - 00:11:38:09
Jason
Yeah.
00:11:39:03 - 00:12:04:17
Moises
So I've got a question for you. Do you find yourself now? Because I've always thought about this, do you find yourself now being more competitive when doing a sport like boxing, which is kind of required for you to be solo in your sport? It's like a solo sport. There's not much team work to it. I mean, obviously if you have your coaches around you, you have all these other people around.
00:12:04:17 - 00:12:07:16
Jason
Yeah, until you have to to compete.
00:12:08:25 - 00:12:19:27
Moises
Now do you find that to be that you're more competitive in that kind of environment versus like, oh, playing on a court five on five with your teammates? Why do you think that is for you?
00:12:19:28 - 00:12:46:04
Jason
Yeah, because there's nobody you can blame. There's somebody else that you can rely on that it's just you. There's nobody else. It's real lonely because it's it's with with any team sport where it's like, if something goes wrong, you could do everything right and it still cannot go your way because another teammate might not show up that night or, you know, if they should have passed the ball and said they shot it.
00:12:46:04 - 00:13:14:24
Jason
Whatever the case may be with with boxing or with any like solo sport, there's nobody to place the blame on. There's nobody else to lean on. You have to lean on yourself and I think that's something that I really, really, really, really, really fucking enjoyed learning this part of myself.
00:13:14:24 - 00:13:28:06
Moises
So do you think that because all the responsibility falls on you, that's what makes you more competitive? Because it's like, I have to end up dealing with myself if I lose.
00:13:28:27 - 00:13:56:04
Jason
Yeah, yeah. Because I'm not so much like I'm not with boxing. It's like I'm not scared of of losing because, like, there has to be a winner. There has to be a loser. I'm more scared of not going to feel you're not going. And so I can't go anymore, kind of thing. I think that's it's I think there's a phrase that one of the coaches at the gym says.
00:13:56:04 - 00:14:20:06
Jason
He says, um, fatigue makes. I thought, what was it? He says all the time. And I can't remember it now because I'm a little stoned. He says. Fatigue makes cowards out of men, that kind of thing. And and I like teetering that line of when you're in is when you're sparring and you're like, it's like the sixth round.
00:14:20:07 - 00:14:45:09
Jason
You don't got much left and you're sparring a kid who's I'm sparring a lot of kids who are 23, 24, 19. You know, I'm I'm 35. I don't move as fast as they do. So I had to rely on my wits and actually learned my toughness and has relied on general like I guess like ring IQ and footwork to to beat a lot of these guys and to beat them to the punch.
00:14:45:23 - 00:15:12:08
Jason
And it's something that it's on you and I can I don't care if I get my ass hurt, but I'm going to go out swinging. I'm not going to go. I don't want to. I'll take look at it this way. The taking Ryan Garcia fight. I don't want to give up. And now it's easy to say give up because he got hit with a body side.
00:15:12:09 - 00:15:37:06
Jason
It's real hard. And within 10 seconds to stand up from that. But I guess it's that point of I don't want to be okay with with giving up like that. If I'd rather get up and get knocked down immediately and then just go, Oh, you're going to win. When my opponent goes, get up and you go, Nope, I don't ever.
00:15:38:17 - 00:15:42:22
Jason
That's what I'm scared of. I don't want to do that. I don't want to know.
00:15:43:27 - 00:15:45:26
Moises
But what happens if you do encounter that?
00:15:47:04 - 00:16:16:14
Jason
I have to deal with it. I'll beat myself up. I'll cry in the shower a few days afterwards, you know, I'll be real upset with myself at time. You know, go back to the gym. You go back to do what you have to do and you hope for the best next time kind of thing. But it's like if there's one thing that would be really upset at myself if I lost it be because I gave up, I think that's that's it because I think with with I was always allowed to give up on whatever I wanted to do.
00:16:16:14 - 00:16:39:18
Jason
Like it prepared, really cool with me being like, you know, want to play the drums anymore, don't play the drums anymore. You don't want to do this anymore. Don't do this anymore. Go do it, you know, go explore. Go do it. You want to do. And I guess this is the one thing that like that one little bit I have with myself where it's like, you're not allowed to give up here.
00:16:39:18 - 00:16:49:18
Jason
There's no exit. There's no nobody's giving you an out. Nobody's going to tell you, Oh, it's okay. You know, and it's it's just that I think for me, it's weird. I don't know.
00:16:50:22 - 00:17:14:22
Moises
No, I don't think it's weird. I think it's it's essentially fighting this identity that that you never really approved of. Like, it almost sounds, at least to me, what I'm hearing is that it sounds that you kind of didn't like that version of yourself, because that version of yourself, it somehow it took you too long to get to where you are as a man now.
00:17:15:08 - 00:17:53:21
Moises
So it's just like every day I have to fight to not become that thing again, to become to become that Jay ever again. And I think that that's really the battle of like essentially any sport or anything that you do decide to do, right? So I think you can connect it to entrepreneurship as a for me it's been that like that it's a competition and this is where Rances and I probably like use or competition between each other to like make the business move forward or even when, you know, I speak to Rances and I'm like, yeah, we need to find a competitor because we need to beat somebodies ass is like, there's a purpose
00:17:54:13 - 00:18:12:27
Moises
for you to change when you have this like building. But in reality it's like, Rances says the villain in the person that you're always fighting is is going to be yourself. It's always you. And if you don't like competition, then what you're saying is you don't want to face yourself.
00:18:14:13 - 00:18:18:09
Jason
That's a good point. I like that.
00:18:18:09 - 00:18:19:17
Moises
Thats what it is.
00:18:20:02 - 00:18:22:03
Jason
Yeah.
00:18:22:26 - 00:18:39:01
Moises
Because like even with like your example you said of like going up to a girl and talking to them. Right. The idea of getting rejected, the idea that you don't want to go up to a girl and get rejected is because you don't want to deal with yourself. Like the thoughts that come behind the rejection.
00:18:39:09 - 00:18:40:16
Jason
Like, oh, I'm not good enough.
00:18:40:16 - 00:18:47:21
Moises
Oh yeah, I look good enough. Or maybe I said something wrong or maybe I say something stupid, whatever the case is.
00:18:48:16 - 00:19:29:21
Jason
Yeah, yeah. No. So that that's totally true. I mean, that's long gone now because marry now, baby, it's great. But I also think we're going back to like what you say, like, oh, like the old Jay A lot of it has to do with how I approach this relationship. I approach my relationship with Ashley, it's stuff like that where it's like, you got to be the best guy possible, you know, you got to be the the best person possible for your significant other, you know, you got to be understanding and you got to, you know, even as simple as things like, for example, she has tickets to go to a Janet Jackson concert in like
00:19:29:21 - 00:19:51:00
Jason
two weeks. I'm not sure if she can hear me right now because she's upstairs. Do I necessarily want to go see Janet Jackson? No. But her mom, you know, she was going to take her mom. Her mom doesn't want to go. So you know who's going to go with a fucking smile on his face in a Janet Jackson T-shirt, this fucking guy, because that's what she likes.
00:19:51:00 - 00:20:05:03
Jason
And, you know, it's quality time with her. But old Jay would be like, if I don't want to do that, I'm not going kind of thing. And I think it's a lot of like you, your presence means a lot in a relationship, you know?
00:20:06:14 - 00:20:23:02
Moises
Yeah. So do you believe that there is a part of being like in order to be a good competitor, in order to have a good mindset with competition, is there a part of you that needs kindness and compassion to make that happen.
00:20:24:14 - 00:20:48:02
Jason
I’m learning that now it's it's nice. It's nice. Um, when I was younger, it was always like this little, like Napoleon complex with drinking and stuff like that, where it's like, Oh, I want to show that I'm tough kind of thing. And now it's like, Oh, I know I'm tough. I show anybody I'm fucking tough. There's no way I need to prove that.
00:20:48:02 - 00:21:05:12
Jason
And so if, you know, I do need to prove to myself that I need to prove that a good partner, then, you know, I'm a good son, I'm a good friend. All these other things that it's like, I'd rather be with a samurai in the garden or some shit like that. I know.
00:21:05:13 - 00:21:15:22
Moises
And it's yeah, that's exactly what is going through my head right now. It's yeah, it's better to be a warrior in a garden than it is to be a gardener in a war.
00:21:17:12 - 00:21:39:20
Jason
Exactly. That that speaks a lot to me because like I said, I don't want to get in a fight with fucking nobody. I don't if I could never get in a fistfight outside of being in a boxing ring or a competitive sport ever again, I'd be the happiest fucking man in the world. It proves nothing, you know? You just break your head.
00:21:40:09 - 00:22:12:18
Jason
That's essentially where it comes from it. Yeah, but those other things, like the older I get, the more like that's. That's what matters. That's what matters. Having this little fucking farm that I have with these animals and my lovely lady, you know, and having my parents not far away and being closer with my friends now, that means a lot more to me than it does to me to ever fucking go out to another bar again, to ever go feel like, Oh, on the fucking men I can go fall out of where the fuck people like to do.
00:22:12:18 - 00:22:26:12
Jason
I don't know what people like to do anymore, but like all that stuff, like it means nothing to me anymore. This stuff means the world to me. Yeah. And it took me a long time to figure. It took me 33 years to figure that out.
00:22:27:18 - 00:22:32:23
Moises
Do you feel that competition? How do you figure that out?
00:22:32:23 - 00:22:33:10
Jason
Very much.
00:22:34:18 - 00:22:39:29
Moises
Why do you think that is? Like why competition? What about competition?
00:22:40:25 - 00:23:16:03
Jason
Because competition forces you to sacrifice. It forces you to to give up on certain things because you can't have it all. You can't stay out of 4:00 in the morning and think that you're going to get better at whatever you're competing in or whatever you're training for, whether it's as lame to say even if it's work or whatever it is, you know, you you got to sacrifice some things in order to to succeed in whatever it is that you're doing.
00:23:16:03 - 00:23:52:16
Jason
Right. So it's like going out to the bar, don't do it anymore. Can't do it. Can't do at least, you know, at least if I do go like two beers, maybe a shot. See you guys later kind of thing, you know, so that stuff's out the fucking door and then, you know, having a family makes it a lot easier because I have I have my routine, I have everything I need is is in grasp.
00:23:52:16 - 00:24:13:11
Jason
I have the love of my life. I have my dogs, I have my cat. You know, I have a house. I have I have everything I need. What more do I possibly need? More money? Sure. We all could use more fucking money. We all could, you know, use a bigger house, blah, blah, and not have to ever worry about money ever again.
00:24:13:11 - 00:24:41:24
Jason
Sure. But you really need you really need this. You really need you really need the competition to some sort of competition to just keep you fucking going. And that's what it does to me. I hate that I found it at 35. I regret that so fucking much. Why know. I wish I found it when I was younger. I don't know.
00:24:41:24 - 00:24:47:01
Jason
I just wish I had more time with it to explore it. I feel like, you know, time.
00:24:47:09 - 00:24:57:25
Moises
All right, so I'm going to judge the shit out of you right now because I'm like, just 35. Just the 35. Why? 35? 35 is like, it's not even half time, bro. Like.
00:24:58:15 - 00:24:59:03
Jason
Oh, I found.
00:24:59:03 - 00:25:01:14
Moises
It in the second. You found it in the second quarter.
00:25:02:03 - 00:25:12:09
Jason
I know, I know, I know that. I think more like the the competition was of it. I think I like to explore competing it when I was younger.
00:25:12:09 - 00:25:38:15
Moises
I think that like for me it's more about understanding the essence and the intent behind competition. I think that is I figured that out probably around the same age. And I remember growing up with you years that we were competitive. We just we had we had different definitions of competition. And I think, like most most men probably find out what competition actually means around this age.
00:25:38:15 - 00:25:53:26
Moises
Most active men right? Like if you play sports, you learn that in an earlier age. And obviously the different levels that you play at the earlier like I'm sure these kids that play at high levels like LeBron James and his I always.
00:25:53:26 - 00:25:55:11
Jason
Had these high levels.
00:25:56:18 - 00:26:24:27
Moises
They're like they understand competition at a whole nother level than what we understood it at that age. And granted, they have the opportunities and the resources and the talent to to do that and leverage those opportunities to then become a better man. But they're also going to experience the same thing that we experience is like this idea of failure, this idea of like not feeling good enough, this idea of, you know, feeling like, you know, you're going to be rejected by the world.
00:26:25:16 - 00:26:59:23
Moises
And the idea of like kindness and compassion, like they're going to lose that, too. The one thing I would say is that being on a team, like playing in like a team sport or a team environment actually teaches you that faster. And this is where like now I look at Michael Jordan and I'm like the delicate balance or the dichotomy that comes along with being super competitive and also kind is kind of compassionate.
00:26:59:23 - 00:27:09:05
Moises
Like when I see the last dance, a lot of people are in between of like, you know, Jordan was an asshole or, you know, he was this kind of man.
00:27:09:05 - 00:27:09:14
Jason
Yeah.
00:27:09:15 - 00:27:30:18
Moises
But I felt like when people accept you for who you really are and the people that accepted Jordan for who he was, even though he was an asshole at times they understood this aspect about him, like the sacrifice that you had to make as a teammate to deal with that kind of personality. But the reward sake. Yeah. Steve Kerr.
00:27:30:18 - 00:27:50:19
Moises
Steve Kerr. Because of the opportunities he had with Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson with these great minded athletes, and now he can learn from that type of personality and handle and manage those types of personalities. As a coach. That's the same thing with the.
00:27:50:22 - 00:27:52:07
Jason
NCAA, right? Like you.
00:27:54:16 - 00:27:57:00
Moises
Being a part of somebody like that, you know, and.
00:27:59:12 - 00:28:00:09
Jason
It's just what he does.
00:28:01:06 - 00:28:24:27
Moises
Yeah. So I think I think it's important. I think it does teach you certain aspects about my competition generally. Like we were like we stated, you stated sacrifice, kindness, compassion. I think it teaches you about yourself, facing yourself. So to answer your initial question based off our conversation today, it's.
00:28:25:08 - 00:28:25:24
Jason
Like, yeah, it's.
00:28:25:24 - 00:28:36:05
Moises
Important. Don't think, yeah, it's super important, right? Like these guys are competing right now for your love, right? For them. So yeah.
00:28:36:05 - 00:29:18:09
Jason
And big ass mouth. No. So yeah. Before we got distracted by the fucking by all the animals, I feel like fucking ace Ventura sometimes. Well these guys. But, you know, I think you're right. Competition is very fucking important. It's. Your breath stinks, buddy. So bad. Fucking deep breath. Okay. Oh, man. Hi, Glover. Yes, hi. Can I finish talking to.
00:29:18:09 - 00:29:40:22
Jason
But yeah, like I was saying before, I was really interrupted by this adorable bastard weenie competition. AKA anybody says you need to have some sort of conversation competitive drive in you in order to survive in this world. I don't know how else to say it any more than you'd like it. If you have, like, handed to you on a silver spoon, you have to be competitive one way or another.
00:29:40:24 - 00:29:43:13
Jason
There has to be something that you want to be good at.
00:29:45:00 - 00:29:48:24
Moises
And I don't think it exists without it. So yeah, I mean.
00:29:49:14 - 00:29:53:05
Jason
Yeah, we don't exist as humans without having that competitor.
00:29:53:06 - 00:30:12:09
Moises
It's like a purpose. It is a it. All right. Even in your career, you got to be competitive. You have to be competitive. Your career if you want to if you want to be successful, if not, yeah. And if you be Eckhart Tolle new book Eckhart Tolle book Eckhart Tolle’s book, he's a philosopher and he has a book called A New Earth.
00:30:12:09 - 00:30:45:06
Moises
And he talks about the idea of people who are like extroverted or introverted or shy or like outgoing. And all it is is an ego complex and so, like, if you're someone who is extroverted and is outgoing and puts himself out there, right? The reason that you can enter a room and do that is because there's a sense of superiority that you have when you enter that room and the ego feeds off that superiority and will always try to put themselves in positions to be able to do that.
00:30:45:10 - 00:31:15:23
Moises
Now, someone who says they're shy it’s not that they are Shy. They're shy because they feel inferior or when they enter a room. So there's a sense of inferiority, which is not a bad thing. It just is right. So is becoming aware with the idea that you either feel superior in certain environments or inferior. And I think that's the beautiful part about competition because like you start a new sport, go dance, go, go do public speaking, go, go.
00:31:15:23 - 00:31:23:09
Moises
Put yourself in a position where your ego has to get fucked up and see what happens, see how much you change you.
00:31:23:09 - 00:31:43:18
Jason
Just since you mentioned dance and this whole competitive thing. Like, I really want to start taking salsa classes with Ashley. Yeah, because I always I put it on, I put it off for so fucking long I had to fucking learn. I have to get good at it. I had to. I'll never speak a word of Spanish. but god damn.
00:31:43:19 - 00:31:46:00
Jason
I'll be good at salsa, I promise you.
00:31:47:01 - 00:32:02:14
Moises
Yeah. And honestly, the barrier that that comes with that is just like when you have a new start, something that's brand new, especially the older you get, you're going to suck and you're going to look stupid. Yeah, that's just. That's really it.
00:32:02:14 - 00:32:14:14
Jason
It it. It's okay. It's. It's okay. Look, stupid guys. Like, how old are you right now? One eye is bigger than the other. Right now it's okay to look stupid.
00:32:14:14 - 00:32:21:00
Moises
All right, I think. I think that we could probably end it there. I think that's enough for. I think this is.
00:32:21:00 - 00:32:21:13
Jason
Totally.
00:32:23:02 - 00:32:24:19
Moises
Where I like 36 minutes.
00:32:25:06 - 00:32:25:24
Jason
That's perfect.
00:32:25:24 - 00:32:28:15
Moises
You can chop it up a little bit, and then.
00:32:30:01 - 00:32:30:23
Jason
I like this.
00:32:31:23 - 00:32:41:02
Moises
Yeah, well, let's see how it looks and how it turns out and then convince the CEO to get on board.
00:32:42:07 - 00:33:07:09
