So we have those feelings of intuition that kinda break common sense sometimes. That's one thing I've really tried to exercise over the years is listening to the whisper, the inner spirit inside you and try to listen to that whisper in the wind. If I'm feeling myself getting upset, it's just huge breath holes like you're gonna be held under water. Just let yourself go lightheaded and
Excel, do that three times. What would you attempt to do if you knew you couldn't fail? Like what would you really go after if there was no way you were gonna have failure? And put that down and really go for it.
🔇 Silence
All right, guys. We got David on the show today. Just came out with a new book, Becoming Seven, Superhuman Rhythm. And uh we're gonna dive into that. You've had a lot of success in business and you're out here in Vegas having some fun, man. So let's get to it.
yeah yeah thanks for having me Sean
How's the trip been? You've been speaking on panels, you've been going on pods? Yeah. You been gambling too?
Actually, um I'm not a big gambler, but I do have an employee that was uh hit me up. He's like, dude, put a hundred on black so I did and it went black, so
Doubled up. Not a lot of people could say they left Vegas doubled up.
Well, we actually let we're going to be leaving with a profit of a hundred bucks.
That pays for the dinner, right? Yeah. Appetizer in Vegas, at least.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's expensive out here. But how's the r roofing's your main thing?
Yeah. So um I've been in uh basically general construction and um all types of construction. I was a stonemason for years, but the last kind of since two thousand eight. been uh really heavy in the roofing game.
Nice.
When I was a kid, my very first job, uh when I was a kid when I I kind of ran away from home, I had a
Um
uh guy that we went and worked for doing flat roofs. So my very, very first job as a kid was working for cash on
Flower.
Yeah.
Yeah, we jumped out. Was that in Hawaii or
no that was actually in utah dude
I was gonna say Hawaii probably rains a lot, right?
Right.
Yeah, out here the roofs are damaged. A lot of flat roofs out here, I feel like. Vegas. So that's how you started?
¶ Why Most People Never Reach Their Potential
Yeah, yeah. Got into that. Well, it wasn't when I was fourteen I was the first teen. my first job I ever had, but I went through a lot of different things and um when my family and I had moved back out to Hawaii we got hit with a fifty year storm and there was a ton of uh roof damage throughout the islands.
And so there was a vacuum and it needed to be filled and so a bunch of uh other contractors I know kinda got on board and that kinda got me really pushing into the heavy just roofing game. Wow.
What year was our stuff?
That was two thousand around eleven. So I was doing roofs here and there as a G C but when that storm hit, there was just hundreds of homes damaged. So we just I just got into kind of production, assembly line, just one tr single trade, getting really focused on just roofing. Crazy it's been crazy
sense. Yeah. I know a few people that uh they live out here but they chase storms. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like there was a big one in Florida, I think, a year or two ago. So they flew out. Oh yeah. And like were going to houses and uh he closed a couple of them. He made some money. It's crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
People do.
Storm chasers, huh?
Yeah, there's guys that they just sit and wait and the minute they see a storm that
The hailstorm and
Hail, wind, hurricane. Yeah. We're not really big storm chasers. So I have a um I have an office out of Wiley, Texas, and we can service around nineteen states. Um and then I run the location out it's another location out in Hawaii on all the chain of islands. So when we're not big storm chasers. When a storm comes again, you know, we'll we'll if there's someone has damage we'll work that um and help homeowners out in the system. But we're mostly retail. So we're just
We're not like around chasing all the storms. That's a racket. I don't know but I like to be around my family and
Yeah, you're a big family man, right? That's one of the seven things in your book.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, let's dive into that. So there's seven uh becoming seven. So there's seven kind of themes, right?
Yeah. So so um as a young kid I my dad was one of the first um probably like twenty employees of s of Stephen Covey. The and he wrote the book, The Seven Habits of Highly Affected People. And so I was kinda around personal development at a young age. I've always enjoyed it. Um had a real wayward time in my life. And then when I was coming back to being sober and sober minded and physical and Um and uh physically and spiritually uh finding myself I kinda dug back into those
Old times when I was little and just started really studying and reading and reading and reading about um all the different philosophies. I was always intrigued, like how
w there can be a family and one one sibling is s super successful and another one's just a dud. Mm and you're I'm like, you know, what is it? Yeah. What is it that takes someone that all has all the same tools so this person has all the same tools and only one person or one person really goes big and the other kind of stays stagnant and it just tripped me out, you know and
outcomes. Yeah. And um and I've always interested in in really the human experience and and how we can live the most out of this life and uh So we got really into meditations, heavy into Marcus Aurelius and um listening to Jim Rome tapes when I was a kid with my dad cruising up PCH. was incredible to, you know, get back into that. So yeah, and then just naturally in business, started living these things, had some bumps in the road and
¶ Motivation Monday
um decided, you know what, I I'm gonna create this. I had a few days of the weeks that I already lived during my business career and um having various different businesses. And then a few um I came across So growing I kinda grew up in a r religious family and so Sunday was really, really important. But I was always wondered about the other days. I used to have Whisper in the Wind Wednesday was like my little inspiration. Whisper Wednesday. Yeah, Whisper Wednesday.
And then I uh came across a study that um more people have heart attacks on Monday morning from eight AM to noon than any other time.
Interesting. From Strauss.
Yeah. Um, basically from them not having their why or what you know, what are they doing, where are they going, they're just tossed amongst the sea is so to speak, right? They don't have a direction in their life. And so Um, that was huge to me. He's like, dude, you're telling me p all everybody's mostly having heart attacks. It's not their ethnicity, it's not their background, it's not where they live, it's not their cholesterol level, it's not their age, it's straight up they're confused.
So their cortisol levels super high Monday morning. I've got another week of I don't like this. I have another week of I don't know who I really am. And so when I came across that, that was heavy. And I was like, okay, that's gonna be Motivation Monday. And then the all the days I really studied.
I really studied into the human experience and what emotions take place on different days of the week. Mm. And there's an actual algorithm behind it of emotions and it's a trip, dude. So I went down this rabbit hole.
I could guess Monday and Friday. I don't know what's what the other days would be.
So Tuesday, um and we can go we just got Monday. So that's motivation Monday. And so that's really I I like to help people Take the whiteboard and whiteboard their life. Dream big. Dream really big. And um almost to the point it's like, what would you attempt to do if you w if you knew you couldn't fail? Like what would you really go after if there was no way you were gonna have failure? Mm. And put that down and really go for it. And um and then the next day is um
Tuesday. Mm-hmm. And Tuesday's tracking Tuesday. And that's that's like the day of the avatar, I call it. Um God gave us two eyes and two ears to be very observant and one mouth. Um, and I think sometimes we need to be quiet and and not just listen to others, but you know, be attentive to the way that we're kind of showing up to others and the way we're communicating with people.
And so it's really a really cool day, uh a day of awareness, um, uh, to track our thoughts. So the average person has around sixty thousand thoughts a day. Crazy. Eighty percent of them are negative.
That's crazy.
Yeah. Wow. And high level superhumans. Okay. They're the exact opposite. They have only around twenty percent or negative. They have eighty percent positive.
That's actually fascinating. So they rewire their whole brain to think positive.
Yeah. Your and then ninety percent of everything that humans do, ninety percent of their thoughts and what they're doing are the same they did the day before, the day before the day.
Yeah, subconscious, right? Yeah.
So you have all these subconscious army ants in your brain. and what fires them off to go and do. is the thoughts that you have. So if you have constantly negative thoughts, these army ants can't the y your subconscious mind can't distinguish between fact and fiction. Right. So if it says, you know what, you're healthy, you've got this, those army ants go after it and they fire the vibration in your body to fight cancer cells, to rejuvenate, to sh uh to have less inflammation.
¶ Ad Break
You can inflame your body from thinking negatively.
They've done studies on this. On um they've done studies on people with certain diseases and positive the only difference was positive and negative mindset. Yeah and um the outcomes were so different.
front. Yeah. They've done it in testing. Like they'll come in, um, and they brought it they brought they have two case studies where they have a teacher walk into a classroom and just totally unload on the students. You guys are a bunch of idiots. I can't believe I'm giving you this test, blah, blah, blah. Just yelling at'em, creating all this cortisol, right? And then they take a test.
And then the next case study they come in and the teacher's like, Guys, you know what, this is gonna be a tough test, but I believe in you. I'm super stoked that you guys are here. Blah blah blah blah blah blah you know, just a total different atmosphere of leadership and their test scores are higher.
Make sense. Fear based approach doesn't work these days.
Yeah. So that's kind of tracking Tuesdays. Make sure that we're having those those positive thoughts. And then another thing is knowing between Monday and Tuesday is knowing who you are. Um the average person has four thousand ninety-eight grandmas and grandpas, DNA inside them. So here's this huge pyramid of all these humans that live before you and it's all coming down to you in this short moment of time. And I I bring that up because you're very, very important. A lot of people don't

Everyone is royalty. Everyone is superhuman and we're all connected. They just need to go in and find it. And so that's the mindset I'm trying to put forward is I I really want to help change the human experience and there's so many talented people out there that will never, ever have the opportunity to go because they don't take the opportunity to think about it. Mm-hmm. I got this.
¶ Whisper Wednesday
You know, um all the greatest inventions, greatest ideas, greatest athletes, greatest superhumans there ever were all in cemeteries. They the they're they're full of people who never took the chance to go for it. Um it's something around two percent two to three percent of humans will really live to their full potential.
And so
Another crazy thing is is I like to talk about is we as human beings are the only ones that will willfully choose Okay, to not live up to our potential. So if there's a pot of dolphins. They're gonna multiply and replenish in their respective elements. A tree will always grow as tall and as wide and as far down its root system as the water, sun, light, and wind will allow. Mm-hmm. It will never stop and say, you know what? I'm not gonna grow that high.
You know, the the ants, the critters, the creatures, none of them will ever just decide I don't want to be great. It's only us. And so it's really um and it's the the main quote in my book is the only reality the quote my quote that I love, the only reality is the one that I create and the greatest reality I can create. is one that impacts humanity. And we've we've come to this place in our culture where we're all just little islands. I think we think we're not as connected.
And um and it's the furthest from the truth. Every decision that we make and everything that we do has an effect on the person for generations of time. It's like that little ripple effect. Yeah. And I think we've we've grown our our culture and our society has grown into such a me, me, my my and we've gotten away from the farmlands. It's like, you know, we as a as a people, especially here in America, we all used to work so much together. You had to.
like farming chores and all these different things, people were families were so connected and it seems like we've grown into this, Oh, I've got all this on my own and You know, I hope I can help show people that it's okay to to be connected to others and help do things in community and networks and and because we're all so connected.
Yeah, I feel like we're the most connected we've been digitally, but physically we're the most disconnected we've been.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
Yeah, like the access to just connection online is so easy and like you can meet thousands of people. Like we'll post this podcast and I'll hit a bunch of people but in person it she sh seems to be lost.
Yeah. Yeah. And I mean and and it's balanced. Like you you can't live without it. I mean, look at the power of of the digital age. Mm-hmm. Like you're saying, it's like you can you could sit you and I can sit right here and millions and millions of people can experience this conversation, which is really, really cool. But yeah, you're right. And that moves us on to Whisper Wednesday. Mm. And that's uh Whisper Wednesday is it's a day of intuition.
Um, if you were to go ask all your first responders, doctors, airline pilots, anyone, you know, Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, hey. Anyone that's has the weight of like responsibility for people's safety of their life has such a heightened sense of intuition. And it's because they have to. They exercise it. Like their boat's burnt. There's no coming back. Like you're a doctor, the weight of the world's on you to save this patient.
Okay. And so when you have that responsibility, that's why I like push people to put responsi re responsibility is a good thing. It cr it helps, you know, shape you. And if you were to talk to them, hey, do you ever do you ever have a situation where you just had a hunch or a feeling? Oh, and you you can just pull up and start taking notes because they'll rain it down on you. And so uh Wednesday is it's Wednes Whisper Wednesday and I I coach people to completely tune out of the digital age.
Put the camera away. Yep. Just put your phone away the first half of the day. You know, I go on I usually go on like an eight mile whisper walk. Wow. In the woods. that I call, yeah, I go down the street, go up my uh down from Pupu K and go up to a pill box through the mountains and home in just complete silence. And you'd be surprised when you listen to your heart.
Everyone has this little still small voice inside them and it's very powerful. Mm. But that still small voice can't come out and com communicate with your mind. You can't connect your heart to your mind. until you slow the hustle and bustle down. Stop looking at everybody else and just just look within. And so Whisper Wednesday is a day of inspiration. Mm. So yeah.
Impressive. I'll try it out. Yeah. I don't know about eight miles. Um start go on a walk.
Start there. And well it's just get into an organic environment too. Like if you can go out to the desert. Yeah. Desert's a beautiful place. People like think, Oh, why would I want to go to the desert? Just go sit out there for a couple hours. Mm. You know, listen to your whisper. Okay. It'll come out.
Last Wednesday. What's there's the
So moving on to Thursday. Thursday is an amazing day. It's thankful Thursday. When do we have Thanksgiving? Thursday, right? Thursday. Yeah. Yeah. So um Thursday's a day of gratitude. And so the dichotomy is is um it goes like this an army of sh of lions led by a sheep. Okay, we'll always be defeated by an army of sheep led by a lion. And that is the the answer to that is attitude and attitude and gratitude when those come together and attitude of gratitude then anything is possible.
¶ Ad Break
And so a true leader that can lead their family and themselves can look at every situation and say, There's always an opportunity here for growth. And I think too many times we think Uh we're going through all this hard times and this and that and which everyone does and they aren't easy because we all suffer in our own little ways. But if we can have that attitude that I'm gonna learn something from this then those weight that weight of the world feels lighter.
Hundred percent.
Right.
I agree. Treat everything as like a lesson, right?
Yeah.
That's a high view failure too.
Yeah, and all'cause all real success is is going from failure to failure to failure to failure to failure, um, without losing enthusiasm and saying, I've got this one day, right? I mean how many times did you fall on your face and was kicked in?
You know, but when you're young I feel like you can afford fail a little more. So I was trying to get those out of the way when I was a teenager and in my twenties.
¶ The Power Of Forgiveness
But you've done really, really well, but that's because you went for it.
Yeah, I hustled, went for it. Now it's more balanced for me at my current stage. Yeah. You know.'Cause I used to work eighteen hour days. Got burnt out.
Yeah, how's your state of gratitude?
Pretty good. I have a gratitude journal.
Yeah.
Every day.
Yeah, I I I've been on a bunch of these uh a bunch of podcasts and met a lot of a lot of su I I consider you superhuman. I mean, look at your reach. Um And it doesn't matter what industry you're in, if you have an impact and are helping a lot of people and it's you're considered superhuman. So I've met a lot of superhumans and it's always similar, like all these principles that I teach.
They're all living'em in their own ways. Um, and I've just basically condensed them and s and and simplified a way that they live'em. Because honestly, there's a lot of people that don't wake up and actually write down all the things that they're grateful for. And they're suffering. And it's such a simple thing.
It's very simple, very quick. And I've I've split tested it. I've d gone like a month without doing any and a month with and I just feel better. Business does better too. It's crazy. Isn't that? There's there's literally a direct correlation.
Yep. Yep. And and that's that's the crazy thing. A lot of people look at others and they just look at others and look at others and think, Oh, it's they just had some crazy gift or something like that. It's not true.
Not at all.
I used to think that way when I was younger. And not anymore.
Yeah, it's just a different recipe. Right. And that's that's a huge ingredient is gratitude. And so yeah. Um
Actually using it.
Yeah.
For me.
the biggest difference has been saving time. There's so much repetitive stuff when you're running a podcast or business. between apps, updating workflows, following up with people, and that stuff eats your day alive.

Um then moving on. Friday. Friday's a heavy one. Yeah. Yeah. It's one of the hardest superhuman attributes to ever acquire, and that's forgiveness. Forgiveness Friday. So, um and the reason Friday is is you have you're coming off a Thursday, so you have a heightened state of dopamine. Mm. When you're super grateful, you're you just feel good, right?
So you're coming into Friday and that was always a day when we were kids, like you get a dollar elementary school, you know, you get a little ice cream after you know, after school or everyone's stoked because you're going into the weekend and you don't have work, right? Yeah. Most most people. And so is there a party tonight, everyone's cruising, whatever right? And so that is a good time to reflect on what's holding us back. And most of the time it's something in the past.
Right. And and it is so key that we let those things go. I can't say it enough. Um, and there's four principles of forgiveness that need to be followed. Um, we need to forgive uh the past. Family members and people that wronged us. Whether it's our mom, dad, aunties, uncles, siblings, we have to go back into that zone and say, You know what? You're human. You made a mistake. You hurt me. I forgive you. And whether it's letting them know maybe they've passed on doesn't matter.
Um what matters is you let it go because it holds you back. Um the next is to to forgive people currently that have wronged you. This doesn't mean you let them back in your life if they're not safe, right? But you live free of any negative vibes to that person. The next is to forgive yourself. Because some some of us hold ourselves to the highest standard and we beat ourselves up s uh beat ourselves up so much.
And then the last is to say sorry when you make a mistake, but don't ever apologize unless you absolutely mean it and it's the right timing. Interesting. Okay. So cause sometimes you do things there's just a heavy situation and it needed to happen. And um but yeah, that's it. And so, um, like my wife and I flew here. It was five I think it was five hours and twenty minutes. We're gonna be going back, it's a whole hour different.
So back to Hawaii, you've got you've got the same pilot, same plane, same people, same distance, same altitude. Why is it an hour different? It's a headwind versus a tailwind. So w all these human beings are going through their life thinking in their mind.
You know what? I'm not gonna let that go. Thinking in their mind that they're holding someone accountable by not letting go and not forgiving. And it's the exact opposite. Right? Uh Nelson Mant Mandela, when he was asked, Hey, now you're president, are you gonna Guy was locked up for what twenty years by a law.
Yeah.
Yeah, by people that just for no reason that just hated him. Yeah. You know,'cause of color of his skin or whatever. And here he becomes big chief, big boss. What does he say? No, I'm not gonna do anything. Wishing bad on my enemy is like drinking poison and hoping it kills them. Mm hmm. And so um forgiveness is just one of the most powerful emotions of freedom. Um it's the most freeing w one of the most freeing mechanisms.
Yeah. And I I had to learn that at a young age, you know. My father never forgave his father.
Wow.
for the way he he was raised. So I saw him live in that pain and that Like that hurt my whole life.
And it affected his whole life.
affected him his whole life. I think he lived a lot less than he should have because of it. You know, he's no longer here but Um, it just ate at him, dude. And when you don't forgive someone for that long, I mean, oh my God, destroys you physically.
Yeah.
start resorting to alcoholism, whatever, to get through the pain.
Yeah, I did a post um a year ago. Um and on forgiveness Friday it was just a little post on my social and I ended up getting DM'd by the by someone that says, How can this guy preach pr uh forgiveness when he knocks somebody's teeth out or something hurt someone's teeth and
¶ From Troublemaker To Entrepreneur
Blah, blah, blah. And it was in literally when I was fifteen years old in high school, sixteen. I got in a fight with a guy.
he did his homework on you
Well, the crazy thing was is like he was going through a heavy time. He he DM'd me and I DMed him back. I'm like, bro, I don't if this happened, I'm sorry, I don't know. Well, we ended up like messaging back and forth. We ended up calling each other. Hm. So here's this guy and he gets on the phone and he's weeping. He's like'cause I just apologize. I said, dude I had no idea what that I did that to you. Like I had no idea you went through that. I guess he had to have his
Oh you did that to him. Oh, now I get it.
Yeah, sorry. Well that so yeah, I had I I guess we got in a fight in the lunchroom. Yeah. And in that scuffle I g I guess I had punched him and he and um'cause I was a little rascal when I was junior high mm high school and I guess he had a surgery and I n never knew, never never heard of anything. Yeah. And so here he is literally thirty years later.
Right. And I'm talking to him and I just said, dude, whatever the cost was, I'll pay for it. Whatever your surgery. Talk to your mom. I'm so sorry. You know, I just wanted to get it off of my plate, yeah. And I felt bad. And um and he just wept. Like this here's this grown man, forty seven years old, saying, Dude, I've hated you for thirty years. Jeez. And he's like, I'm going through some stuff right now with my brother that's really heavy.
And
The fact that this is all coming to right now, he's like, I think I need to forgive my brother too. And I was like, Yeah, bro. So this any now we're friends. So here was this moment, but this individual held on for thirty years. Thirty years this guy's been hating me and I had I had no clue. Sean.
But there's probably so many stores like that.
And it's like How many of us did something we didn't even know or Something's out there. So that wasn't for me, that was for him. I mean also for me now that I know but It just compounding the fact that I believe in forgiveness. Yeah.
It's important, man. I got I've told this story a few times before. I got bullied a lot by this one kid in high school. And um I found out at our ten year reunion last year that he's now a heroin addict. And it's just like, damn, me like he was probably bullying me'cause he got a rough situation going on, you know. But I was really sad to hear that it it turned out that way for him.
Yeah, especially y you you look at your life and you know you're living the life that you've wanted to design. Yeah. And not everybody can say that, you know, and here's this kid that did that stuff to you and now look at the script. You have compassion for him.
him. I do, yeah. He was like the popular high school quarterback or whatever. So he was living it up back in those days.
The back in nineteen eighty two throw football.
Yeah. A lot of people, uh not a lot of people, but like people peak in high school, you know, and it's it's kinda sad to see what turns out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree. I was I was basically destined to be in prison and oh yeah. I have I've I've had friends from high school hit me up and Dave, I need a job multiple. Wow. And you know, so um
So you did the complete opposite.
Yeah, my my childhood was I mean, we didn't get into that um we can but yeah, it was quite a interesting interesting thing. But um Uh I I I have thirteen kids, my f uh my parents had thirteen children. Wow. Yeah. Nine boys and four girls. Damn. And then we moved um well like twenty seven times by the time I was like seventeen, eighteen.
So you have no friend group, no consistency.
Yeah, like we were talking before before we started the pod. Um like I any time I got to know a friend We moved. Yeah. Like it was like I was almost afraid to get a close friend.
Makes sense. And that was back then when you couldn't text him too, so you lost complete contact with
It was like that was back when we were playing like you know, T and C skate on Nintendo. Mm-hmm. Like Nintendo was a thing ra back then and like I remember one of our neighbors had Nintendo. We didn't have it'cause we had so many kids. Um
I think we eventually did, but anyways we could go play Nintendo and skateboard and go surf at the beach and stuff. But it was hard because I I really hated my parents because of it until later in life I realized I had skills to communicate, to make friends and to be uh someone that that understands multiple cultures and situations and I wouldn't have those skills had I not moved that much.
So I always look at it as a negative and the minute and it's so crazy in our lives when we when we see the silver lining and say, Yeah, I went through all this negative stuff, but dude, look what's become of it. Right.
So forgiveness Friday, you gotta forgive your parents.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Sit them down and forgive them, right?
I I love I not just forgive'em, I f I thank them. So in my journey It wasn't like'cause my p my mom one time said, David, I'm so sorry we moved so much and I said, Mom, dude, I I forgive you, I love you, but I'm thanking you now. I remember last couple of times we had this conversation. I mean we just wept and I just said, I am so grateful that you moved me that much. 'Cause you showed me that nothing is really mine except for my agency and my choice, like what I do in my life.
Those aren't my friends. I don't own my friends. I don't own my material things, wealth, money, nothing. The only thing that you have is your ability to think the way that you want to and make the decisions that you make. And so that was a huge thing. But as a kid, it's like I was the really the black sheep in that when we moved a lot, we moved
We ended up moving to Utah from Southern California. I kinda I grew up on mostly beach areas. My dad was a surfer. Mm-hmm. So he taught us all of us kids we're surfing since we were five, six years old and Um, moved to Utah and it was just hell. Like when you take a kid from the ocean, you know, I'm like eleven, twelve years old, I'm like, dude.
To Utah. They close everything at like eight PM there. Complete opposite.
And I got long blonde hair. I'm a little beach rat. I probably swore a lot more than I should have.
We gotta throw up a photo of you with the long blonde hair.
But it was it was it was gnarly. And so I was an outcast, didn't really fit into any of the kids there, and so I started getting a lot of trouble.

So I got put in youth corrections custody when I was a kid. Dang. And so I went to youth uh lock up facilities twelve times, went to four different youth programs. I went to uh re uh wilderness ascent, redcliffs ascent, um OA, which is called observation and assessment, and then like group qu uh youth quest and then group homes.
So you didn't you had a lot of identity issues when you were kidding?
Yeah, I was just angry dude. Like I told you we moved all those times and then they took me away from the minute we I was taken from the ocean, I was like, I'm like you know, F this, I'm I'm going Richter and I don't want and my mom, it's not like she could my dad was a travelling like sales and training guy and so he was never there. He wasn't present that much. And and how can you when you got
I mean thirteen kids. I mean my mom's got at this time, she's got nine kids. Probably three of them in diapers. Right. And she's she's just weighed down with like no one's checking on me. Mm. I'm sh I'm out. It's like, you know, I'm checking with my mom every couple of days and she's trying to find out where I'm at. We don't have cell phones back then. It's like I think we were just coming into the pager age. Well.
So, um it but it was pretty heavy. It was heavy to see my mom's face when the judge was like, Okay, you're now ward in the state of Utah. Like the judge looked right at me and says, You're you we're your parent. Sorry, misses Fulmer, but you can't control'em. We're gonna have to. Came in, put me in handcuffs, and sent me to a wilderness program in s in Saint George, Utah. Jeez.
Was it effective?
I just yeah I I actually liked it. Really? But it was really hard. I admit that it was really, really, really hard. But I enjoyed the mountains and I enjoyed challenges. I actually did really, really good in these environments and then I'd get back out and make a bunch of dumb mistakes and get them back in. So I excelled when I was in the m zone because I knew what I had to do to get out.
Interesting.
So I was you know.
Those were your teenage years.
Those are my teenage. And then my best friend I met in junior high, he was kind of my roll dog partner. He's a Tongan boy. Uh he's from Ton the island of Tongan.
Island.
Yeah, so you like Samoa, Tonga they have Tongan Samoa and BGN.
Those guys fight in the power slap that I always go.
Yeah, yeah.
No amount of money. No amount of money I would do that one for.
Yeah.
it was like a million, but no, the running full force at you. Hell no.
Dude, those guys are just animals.
Yeah, I can't believe those.
Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, so I rolled with with with he was my best friend, he's from Tonga and um he basically was he was b he was born in Honolulu, then w moved to Tonga, then moved to LA and we met up in junior high. He had just moved from California too. We just
role got in a bunch of trouble, but his family was moving back to the North Shore when we were seventeen. And so I was locked up. My mom and dad met with his parents and talked to'em and our my parole officer said, Hey, if you leave the state of Utah And don't get any trouble until you're eighteen we'll we'll let you off. We'll let you go to Hawaii. So just leave.
So his dad my my uh my Henai dad is what they call it in the islands, uh Faletti Mataile, he he had he basically signed the papers, took me in and that was it. Wow. I was on this amazing journey. I got sober. Um, and started coming back to my faith and really trying to find God and figure things out for myself because it was like five, six years of just complete gnarly partying and
Longer than that, eight years. More than that of just like you know, I was smoking weed. By twelve years old I was de selling weed like you would I was I had the connect. Yeah, I mean I in junior high I was supplying half the high school with all It was you know, here I'm this little innocent little kid, my mom's looking at me and I got a backpack for a bud.
Sold it in college to get by too.
Yeah.
So it's gotta do what you gotta do.
And I was good at it. Yeah, and I was a little sales guy. I was Yeah.
Yeah, I was nice. It's a good skill.
It is.
Yeah.
Yeah. Well my other my older brother Joey had he just had a really good dank connection.
Oh yeah.
He had it dude. And so everyone had that kind of that The dirt weed. Yeah. From the border. Yeah.
We had the shittiest weed on it.
Where it's like you you bend it and seeds just go.
Yeah, yeah. On the west coast. So like by the time I got to Jersey where I was at it was shit.
Yeah. Yeah, it's just the total dirt weed. And but my brother Joey had the nugs and so that really put me above daughter the rest. Tone. Yes. Yeah, I kinda get what I want. But anyway, so yeah, going through all that but I ended up getting sober in Hawaii and I was really on fire my life. Finally, like the first time in my life I'm like, dude, I'm kinda getting a handle this thing and I was in I was just happy at the end of the day, finding joy.
just surfing and hanging out at the beach and with friends and it was just amazing. And I come home to visit, um And hang out at my my mom's house. She has eight kids at home and she comes to all of us older kids'cause I'm the fourth oldest. Okay. So there's a bunch of little munch kids that blow me. And she says, Hey, you know, I'm gonna be divorcing your dad and that was just like Bass heads.
He didn't see that comment at all. No.
I just thought we were the perfect little whatever.
Wow. So they hate it from you guys. All the fighting and
It wasn't necessarily fighting. My dad had you know mo some moments of weakness and through his moral failing unfortunately and fortunately because everything happens
Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah. So out of out of nowhere, my mom's Hey, you know, I'm asking your dad to leave and my dad had stepped out on my mom. And um and it was just really gnarly for all of us and my mom had eight kids mm at home and my dad financially, I think emotionally and mentally, he was just on his own. wavelength but wasn't helping much damn at all financially. So my mom went and got two jobs. So she's working the graveyard.
And
I still remember the night it happened. My brother Joey dropped me off at the house. He says, Hey dude, you gotta you gotta help mom. We're all married. You're the oldest isn't married And I wasn't equipped to be a dad like Yeah.
How old are you?
I was what, twenty one, twenty two.
That's pretty young to get married though.
Yeah, yeah. I was I I wasn't I wasn't equipped to get to like be a ser not a surrogate father, but you know what I mean, be a pops. I these were my siblings. I loved them. Yeah. And so I moved in, stayed with my mom. My mom worked two jobs. I worked framing houses and working construction. And we just made it made ends meet.
You know, my mom was an amazing human being and she taught me so much about uh forgiveness. You know, I always tell the story. I I figured out how to get my mom three hundred and fifty bucks a per kid. Yeah. You know, I was like'cause the OR the the trial services, they basically you can just file papers, right? You know it's your it's kinda like the E B T card, but you got kids and you need help, they're the state's there to help you, right? State of Utah. So
I had this big plan. I was like, Hey mom, dude, you don't have to work. You got eight kids, you know, eight times three something. There you go. There's our rent. Yeah, there's our rent, you know. And she just, you know, put her hands on my face and gave me a big hug, told me she loved me. She just She said, David, it's it's better that we work than the little kids see their dad go to jail because there's a possibility you could be put in jail if he doesn't help pay. Holy crap.
And I'm just sitting there like, Whoa, like this is heavy and she's like, We need to forgive him, just let it go. He's going through it right now and And so her her and I I mean I have story after story of my mom of acts of forgiveness and just complete love. Like and she's a happy, w very, very happy person and I love being around her. She always just so positive and so she's kind of my
my scepter when it comes to that. And, you know, she was the the rod that I really held on to. I c I can tell you in my business career times multiple times when I just felt like giving up. Mm. Like literally like F this, I'm over this trip. And you've been there and been building your business, you know, and you hit that rock rock bottom and I you know, I close my eyes and I just see my mom. You know, I see my mom going hitting a graveyard shift.
and just never giving up and working and I just couldn't ever give up because of that.
Respectives, everything, man. My mom came here from China, twenty bucks in her pocket, didn't speak English, scrubbed the floors of a shitty restaurant, and now she became a self made millionaire.
I love it, said Mr.
So I I just see what she had to go through and I'm like damn. I got it easy.
And it's respect, you know, and and and and you build on that. And that's that's the key partly in mo Motivation Mondays stories like that is feeling your mind full of all the people. that had nothing and made something of their life. Mm-hmm. You're constantly reading the stories and the books and f in instead of just entertaining your mind and living vicariously through all these people on social media like
What are you really learning about people that did great things? You can use your phone and social media to do that. But how many of us sit and just scroll and scroll our lives away? Yeah.
Lorja said.
Whatever it might be and just entertain ourselves to death.
Scroll in.
Yeah.
So you gotta take action. Got it. Every time I do scroll I try to sprinkle in something in between, you know, play a game of chess, listen to an audiobook or do something, work out.'Cause if you're just scrolling for hours a day.
Yeah. Yeah, but um well from from Friday we move into Saturday. And Saturday Satisfaction Saturday. And so it's just making sure you're having fun with the ones that you love. Right. No one on their deathbed is ever gonna say, I wish I spent more time at the office. Right. They're gonna be like, wait a minute, right? There's that same
same common thread in humanity where you see the old gray man and there's two stories. There's the guy that forgave and loved and had moments of uh amazing, incredible incredible times with those that he loved, and then there's the one that just Man, I wish I wish I woulda I wish I woulda. I wish I woulda. You know, the regret. Yeah. And um and so it's key. I always
I I I have a I have a saying and it's it's love you money, not F you money. Mm. See a lot of people you you've heard the phrase, Sean, for sure. Oh dude, that guy's got F you money. Oh yeah.

wanna be with anyone with F you money. I wanna be around people with love you money. I'll be around people. There's two types of individuals, individuals that use people to get things. And then there's people who use the things that they have to love people. And those that's it. That's the love you money versus the F you money. And so we want we need to be absolutely striving to make money. But why? So that we can have moments.
with the ones that we love and our friends and our homies and everybody we we associate with and then the last is that we have memories. Mm. So that's kind of satisfaction Saturday. I dig deep into that in my book. And then um Moving into Sunday. Mm-hmm. So um I was talking to Adriano out there. Yeah. He's he's a legend or your Osai man. And um I think it's Pereira. Yeah. Yeah, he's a really good dude. Um he knows a bunch of the dudes that I know.
Asaib Republic for that.
Oh my gosh. I've had it actually'cause they they've got a place up on the North Shore. It's a bit awesome. Can't wait. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's it's cool. But he's a black belt in Jiu Jitsu, has his own club and um I'm a brown belt. I've been doing jujitsu for fourteen years.
I know how hard that is.
It is way harder. I'm kind of a sandbagger, like I had few injuries and I'm just just toting away. I just had rotator and my chet r full replacement of my shoulder. And so I've been out for about ten months and I'm just about to get started again. So
It shouldn't get back in.
Too many, too many jujitsu rails. I'm just like, oh my gosh, I just gotta. But in that pursuit, in that love, if you were to talk to black belts, brown, any anyone that's really been in uh jiu jitsu for over a decade and are are are good people. They if you talk to any of them and say, What did have you learned? Have you one of the greatest things you're they've learned is humility. Mm. Sean, I can't even tell you how many times I have tapped at the
No.
That movie. Oh. That was a brown belt. Thousands. No, I'm talking from my journey. Oh god it from white to brown. So your journey, you are tapping. Just like in your business, how many times you get your face kicked in in the early stages of your white belt business day?
It's a liar.
Okay. Now you're a black belt in business, right? You're going for the coral belt. You're making way less mistakes. Yeah. And so. What I mean by that is I had to s learn to submit. I'm submitting to a higher power. So it's supplication Sunday. And so as humans, when we learn to tap out to a higher power in this universe, something up there greater than us.
I call that tapping out, I call that supplicating or submitting to God, whoever you're whatever it might be, to me it's my Heavenly Father. And I'm saying on my knees, I can't do this without you. Or I love doing this with you, Heavenly Father, thank you so much. For being there for me. It can't always be we run to God when things get tough. I learned this when I was.
I was in Russia riding motorcycles. Okay. Yeah. So I I raced in the Baja one thousand in two thousand seven and then And then my brother in law had some wild hair'cause I was racing desert I was desert racing um uh motorcycles for a few years and And my brother-in-law called me. He's like, hey, dude, you want to go on this tour by this trail bike tour in Russia? I was like, okay, yeah, yeah, okay, cool. So we bought our tickets.
got everything set up, but we booked it through a group through Switzerland. Mm-hmm. At any rate I my my sister's married to a Russian guy. Yeah. And I told him, I said, Hey Ivan, I'm going to Russia. He's from Moscow. I'm like, hey, I'm going to Russia. You got any insight? I just wanted you know some tips. You know and he's like David.
Don't go there. I told him. I was like I was like, dude, I already have tickets. I'm going to the Euro Mountains. He's like, David, please do not go to this place. You will not return. And I was like And so I'm laughing'cause I'm like, dude, Ivan and so he he writes a name and number down. He's like, If you were about to die he's really straightforward. He's like, you know, if you're about to be killed, call this number. And so I was like, Okay. So at least I had a number in my
Someone I knew in in in Russia. Went to Russia, everything was cool and um And then we we we would go up in the mountains and then we would come down, they would feed us and but we find out we're the first Americans to ever go on this tour. Wow. We're the first tour in Russia. So all the pictures they showed us were all Switzerland. No one had ever even been on this tour. Mm. So we have this Chechen guy who's coming and going. It was a very sketchy ride.
It was a trip. And we went to a uh like a lake party place because we're there in the summer. And I mean we were riding up on Stalin's roads, and this our guide's like, No American has ever been here. This is like I'm like
Yeah.
That's crazy. And um and so we go to this camp. Well, the Switz our guide from Switzerland makes friends with this massive six, seven, roided out, gnarly, buff Ivan Ivan Drago looking guy named Boris. And I get in my tent, I go to sleep, call my wife, it's my birthday august fourth, two thousand seven. I'll never forget. And I call my wife and kids, you know, we whatever. We had cell reception right by this little lake. It was cool. And then um all of a sudden a body falls on my tent.
And I was like, What the hell? And it was the other guy I was rooming with from Switzerland, he's wasted gone blackout drunk. And Boris is it at the ma the opening of my tent, I open it and there's this massive rush and he's like, Sleep To the guy I was with. So I grabbed him by his collar and I'm like, Bro, that's
You gotta sleep. Listen to this guy. Like we're not from here, bruh. We're up in the middle of nowhere. And there's a f six, seven buff dude, you know, and he's got the brand new G Wagon and like nine groupie chicks with him. It's like like lights or sh like his own disc at party like this is his town. And so I yelled at our guide in the other tent. I was like, Bro, come help us. He's like, guys, we're not safe here. Please do whatever Boris says. And so I'm like
And then he says, hey, I've got a gun. I'm going to kill this guy. So he's telling him in Russian, I'm going to take this guy's life. Damn. If you don't get him to sleep, I'm going to make him sleep. So our guide then says, hey, he has a gun. He's going to go back to his truck and get his gun. He's going to come back and kill this guy if you don't make him sleep. So I grabbed that and I grabbed my my book, my my book of scriptures and I went up and ran up the mountain and slept in a cave.
I'm outta here. I don't care. Boris, you gotta handle him, handle'em dude. That ain't me. I ain't drinking. I ain't part of this trail. No. I bounced. So I went up everything ended up being okay, but the point I'm trying to make is is the prayer I had that night in that cave in Russia was like one of my most sincere prayers. Like I was like, Heavenly Father, I'm in the middle of freaking nowhere. I don't speak Russian. I'm like
I gotta, I need help. I just hopefully everything works out, please. You know. And it worked out, but I bring that up because I think so many times we we don't reach out to God until we're on the edge of a cliff. True. It's so funny how many atheists all of a sudden on the verge of death become believers.
Especially in prison too.
Yeah. And so what if we could have him in our lives all the time and not just when times are tough. So I bring that up because that's been the roller coaster ride of my life. It seems like my spirituality always increases when my my expectancy of something bad happening increases.
Yeah, it is fascinating, right? How we kinda like have no other answers to we resort to God in moments like that. Yeah. I've I've been guilty of that too. Yeah. Yeah. Last couple of near death experiences where weird stuff happened where I'm like calling out his name. And I'm agnostic. That's you know. But even in my dreams, like I'll have wicked nightmares, I'll call out Jesus.
That is helped.
It's helped. Yeah. It's expelled whatever was in my dreams. He's powerful.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
What a story though, man. Wow. Russia. So it sounds like you're not going back there ever. Especially these days.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, it's been really good. Another and and then intuition, another uh quick story I have on intuition that's really important. Um um uh I was I'm running my roofing company. I think it's two thousand sixteen, seventeen and um at the time we were I I was things were really, really tight but I had went and saved up some money to get a car a car for my door knockers, right? My employees. Yeah.
And I bought the car, paid cash for it. I think it was like eighteen grand for just a car for them to drive around. And then um they had to go do some oil change or something, bring it back to the office. I go home, I come back in the morning, I was like, Okay, where's the car? And
¶ The Power Of Intuition
It's gone, so it's stolen. So one of our company vehicles got stolen and um I was just super bummed'cause of the time I was like, Oh frick, dude, we just we gotta get things going and blah, blah, blah, blah. And so we called the police and whatnot. And the cops in Hawaii sometimes it just depends on where you're at and who you get, but it's just not one of the top priorities. I mean you know, you get your car stolen, they make you you do a police report, okay, lada yadda yadda. Um
So it's gone. Two months later I'm I'm out in a little a little town, um, Waiapahu and I drive by, we're looking at roofs, and I see a car and like Bruh, that's my car. No way. So well when the car got stolen, the the title was in the glove box. So all the paperwork is in the glove box. They were supposed to pull it into the shop.
And um I was like, No way I was like, dude, leave me here. So my guy dropped me off and I called the girls I called the girls at the office and said, Hey, grab that spare key and come down or make sure this is our car and they were like an hour away. And then I call the cops, the cops come and the guy's like, Okay, so this is the stolen car like, Yeah, this car's stolen and blah de blah. He's like, Okay, we'll just wait here for the guy to return.
And then like ten minutes went by, dude, and I just had this like sick feeling inside. I'm like, What's going on? And I just kept getting this real strong impression to just take the car and not wait for the person. Mm-hmm. And Like not press charges. It was weird.
And I was like, no, dude, I wanna bust this guy.'Cause I went on a freaking Cloakendauer FBI mission for like seriously like a week. I went down the block, checked every camera, like and I could see the guy take the car and I was like, bro, I gotta get this guy, I'm gonna boss him on soapist. And so here I had him and now I'm like Do nothing, just relax.
So I told the cop, I said, Hey, you know what? I don't want to press charges, just go. And he's like, Are you sure? Are you okay? I was like, Yeah, no, I'm good. You just go. He's like, All right, whatever. So he bounces. I get the I get I get in the um car, the title's gone, but he the guy, the genius registered the car.
So he forged the signature and registered the car. Which does which and you know the the police records aren't very wires are in Hawaii. Yeah, are too up to date, aren't crossing so So anyway, um I I saw the current registration had his address. Oh gosh.
I see where this is going.
So I get this strong voice like, dude, you need to go talk to this guy and it was George something third, I'll leave his last name out. So I go out to Eva Beach and I'm like sweaty palms pocked down the street. I'm like, dude, I'm going to see this guy that's a little ganked my car.
So I go to knock on the door, I knock on the door and this little kid answers. And they got this black metal screen and I could see someone behind him and I said, Hey, it's Georgian and she's just like looking at me, this little kid, like she's seen a ghost. Like who's this?
Holly guy, white guy sitting on my you know, a little local family, like looking at me like who is this dude? And um I ask again and then again and then she runs and talks this other kid and then this this young like sixteen year old kid comes to the door reluctantly. And he says, I'm George and I said, Hey, uh, George, uh, can you come out and talk to me for a minute? Why? And then I just said, You know, I had this car situation. He's like, Oh, he's like the car, he's like, That's my dad.
I'm I'm George Junior and that's George Senior. And I was like, Oh, okay. Cool, and I'm talking to him for a minute and he had a backpack on and like his stuff and he was all sketched out and I guess he was just about to go on the run. Well, he actually was on the run. So I found out just sitting there talking to him,'cause I'm asking questions, I found out that he just broke out of his youth facility. Mm. And he was coming home to get clothes to run away. Wow.
And me and him just hit it off. Really? I put I I sat down with him on the grass right by the retaining wall and we sat there for thirty minutes and I told my whole life story. And here's this kid in tears like not knowing what to do, he's been through it. And I just like, man, it's okay to go back and and finish your program.
I want you to know you know, and we just hit it off and so I'm sitting here thinking I'm gonna bust the guy that stole my car. I'm wanting to know why my intuition's telling me not to press charges. And then I'm sitting here with this kid who I was where he was at and now I'm able to help him, you know, and and it was just incredible. And right then all these cops show up his his case worker.
And he's has his stuff with him and he didn't even run. He walked straight to his case worker, right into the car and headed back to his program. Then the grandma shows up. And I told the grandma, I told her what was happening and she loses it. She's like, I knew he didn't buy that car. That's my son, I knew. She's like, Please, he's been in prison for ten years. He just got out.
Damn, at sixteen?
No, the dad.
Oh the dad.
So the dad that stole the car, the kids the kid goes off, then the grandma, I told her, I said, Hey, my car got stolen. Like, is there any way you guys can get me the title? 'Cause the registration's a glove box, but I need a title. I want the title in my car. And so she just said, That's my that's my grandson's father. I've been raising my grandchildren and he the dad just got out of prison.
And she's just begging me not to press charges. I look, I'm not here to press charges. Just tell'em, you know, God loves him and make some changes. But can you sign my title? She's like, No problem. So she runs in the house, brings it back to me. signed it, you know, signed the title, gave it to me, and off I was. But I mean there's just no way in a million years that you get that. So we have those feelings of intuition that kind of break common sense sometimes.
And so that's one thing I've really tried to exercise over the years is listening to the whisper, the inner spirit inside you and try to listen to that whisper in the wind.
That's power.
So
Yeah, sometimes when you react to your emotions it gets destructive, right?
Yeah.
Yeah. When you let your emotions lead you.
Hundred percent. And when you get pissed off three huge breath holds.
Mm-hmm.
That's that's like one thing I've been doing right now is I get upset. If I'm feeling myself getting upset, it's just huge breath holes. Like you're gonna be held on a
Water.
Just let yourself go lightheaded and excel. Do that three times and you you you won't not.
I do that with Wim Hof, similar.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, crazy. So so that's it, man. That's my B seven, becoming seven. I love it. I'm I'm on a mission now'cause I've been doing roofing for all these years. I'm just about to exit. I'll be I'll be exiting in a couple years. And um my next mission in his life is to just travel around this country and this world and trying to shed shed light on how to be superhuman. What's cool about uh B seven is all of us have brain tracks from thousands of years, Sean, so
That's how you memorize things. You memorize things by attaching a brain track to a principle or a name or anything you want to memorize. And so because all of us already have Monday through Sunday absolutely tattooed in our brains as brain tracks. The minute an individual truly lives B seven and attaches each one of these principles their life will be so much better. It is the most powerful personal development tool that I have ever come across.
Because how many how many s how many places have you seen? Four steps to this, five steps to that. But do they tell you exactly when to apply those intentions and have those intentions? And do they come into sync with thousand year old brain tracks? No. So that's what's so remarkable about this is it really taps into all the personal development world.
But then it's never ending. You're always getting better and you're on this incredible mm mm mm. It's a rhythm. Bob Marley was here, what would he call it? A rhythm.
Yeah.
So yeah, that's be said and right.

Anyone who reads the book and like comments or I'm gonna be doing a thing where I'm gonna be bringing someone out to Hawaii to hang out mm for a couple of days and pay for them to come and I'm just looking for the the coolest story behind living the principles of B seven and
