Episode Transcript
[00:00:02] Speaker A: Welcome back, listeners of the Tron podcast. This is your host, Rashad woods. And in the building today, across the world, and very nice to share a moment of our time. International speaker, podcaster, author, really a Swiss army knife and a doer of good who's going to give you some really good vibes on how to live the best life possible that you have. John Gifted, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:00:22] Speaker B: Thank you so much for having me. Rashid. It's such a joy for me to be with you and with all of you listening to me or watching me from across the globe, I'm so glad and honored to be with you today.
[00:00:32] Speaker A: Yeah, first of all, you know, you do this while being a full time, you know, aerospace engineer. And so obviously you, you wear many hats and you're very, very dedicated to what you do outside of your normal life.
And you're, you know, your podcast is fuel for the soul. What exactly got you to say? I'm going to do this in on top of this as well.
[00:00:56] Speaker B: I always believe that, you know, we can only be our best when we walk in our purpose. You know, like, one of my debut books that you can see here, which became a number one bestseller on Amazon, is called Unveil your purpose. So this is an easy read for anybody and without me trying to sound like I'm pushing my book here, the fact is that.
Yeah, but the fact is that, you know, this book is so good, right? I mean, the sense it became number one bestseller, seller. But even though it's a good book, if I kept it in a fish market, it's not going to sell any copies. Why? Because this book is going to find its value only in a, you know, maybe in a book club, in a library or somebody who loves to read books or in book festivals and all of that. Same way. What I say to people is that, you know, only when you are doing what you are born to do, created to do, called to do, you'll be able to thrive and really excel. And my gift or my calling is to just inspire people. That comes naturally to me. And for me, I cannot imagine a day going to bed without encouraging someone, without doing what I loved, without, you know, like, it could be a video on YouTube, it could be a podcast episode, it could be anything.
My heart is like, you know, personally, I've told people that, you know, till the day I die, I should make sure that I at least made an impact in the lives of at least one person before I die on that particular day.
So that's been my heart to, you know, so Even though things are difficult, working with a full time corporate job at the same time, you know, running a ministry, running, you know, the podcast, the YouTube channel and all of these things, that's what drives me because that's what I'm called to do, upon to do, because that's what helps me unleash my full potential.
[00:02:43] Speaker A: I think what was interesting was I listened to one of your quotes and you said, unveil your purpose. And it said there's a difference between living your life with a purpose and living a purposeful life.
And you know, you know, from all of the times that I've talked with people, you know, it's very easy to go on autopilot and just get caught up in the course of the day and quote unquote, just surviving the day, so to speak. Meaning that, hey, I just need to make it. I just need to look at the clock and it's 4:30 and I just have to make it to 5:00 and then everything else is just gravy on top of it so I can. And so to step outside of that window and to actually acknowledge for yourself that that's not the life that I want to continue to live or there's more purpose behind who I am. It takes some self reflection.
[00:03:29] Speaker B: Yes, it does. I mean, see, this whole journey didn't happen on it, you know, like how they say, you know, Rome wasn't built in a day. You know, this, this is not something like, you know what, I just read the book and become, you know, we'll start walking in my purpose. It's not going to happen at the same time. In line with what you said, I don't know if you mentioned this already, that I'm also a world record holder for Scooby Doo and I'm going to talk about that in the coming next few minutes, but I had a newspaper time when I was actually featured in a newspaper for my sub collection Express.
So.
So when I take a newspaper, right, I can use it for a variety of reasons, right? I can use it to clean something, I can use it to make paper boards, I can use a newspaper when it's in a hot day, I can just blow some hair towards myself. You know, you can serve a multitude of purposes, but if you're using it for all of, yeah, if you're using it for all of that and not to read news, then you're not using the full potential of the newspaper or what it was actually created for. So that's what drove me to write this book and to challenge people. Because I'm saying, you know, what if you are not happy going for the nine to five, you know, maybe you're born or created to do something else or something more. You're not just here to just while away time and just complaining the whole day. And you know, even the other day, a few minutes ago, I had a conversation with a family member and I said, you know what? I can't just come to the end of my life after, you know, like maybe 40 or 50 years down the line and then wonder like, oh my gosh, all I did my entire life was just complain about my job.
That's not the life to live, right? Like, I believe that, you know, if you start walking in your purpose, walking in your calling, walking in what you are born to do, find that and go in that direction, everything is like, you know, I'm not saying it's all going to be easy. It's going to have its own challenges and discouragements and all of that.
But, you know, the fulfillment that comes in doing that is immense. You can't explain it with anything else.
[00:05:34] Speaker A: I think the most fascinating thing is once you actually get out of that complaining circle, the people who complained all the time will suddenly want to wonder why you don't talk to them as much, right? And it has nothing, right. It's kind, right? And so now it becomes, it's, you know, and it doesn't matter what vice you have, whether. And I'm not saying, you know, I'm not judgmental at all, but when you decide that certain things are not for you, you almost become the weird outsider for not partic. Participating in certain activities anymore, right. You know, if you suddenly start going to the gym, you have, you know, hey, all your friends are out, you know, eating junk food and you're like, hey, I just can't do that anymore. And it's, it's a tough, it's a tough, lonely road sometimes, you know, it's.
It. For instance, like myself, I'm a, I'm a nerd at heart, right? And so even if, you know, I do watch sports and I love, you know, certain sports, but I can't consume sports all day, right. I would much rather on a, on a Saturday, even if it's boxing or MMA or NFL or basketball or football, you know, I'll watch a documentary if there's, you know, as opposed to, you know, one of those type of events, depending on, you know, if it's a lower level event that I'm not really interested in. I'm like, you know what? I'm just going to watch a documentary or read something fascinating because again, you know, something that's compact and in the moment doesn't improve me as a person overall. The sports score from the night before may not make me a better person long term if I read and learn something.
[00:07:05] Speaker B: Right, So I get what you're saying because, you know, like, this is a very lonely path, right? For example, you know, when I say like a Scooby Doo character, it's like, come on, man, you. You get a. You better grow up, you know, Ye. Right, right behind me. I mean, if you're watching this on YouTube, I think you can see a Scooby Doo poster on one side and you can see my Ministry logo on the other side. I mean, like, in the natural, the two never go together. Like, I mean, come on. It's a very, you know, unique path. It's a very different thing. And a lot of times, you know, when you're going in the very unique path, you're the only one going. And. And that is when it comes down to this, right? Like, what is unique, what is different about you is what will actually make the difference around you. Right? Like, if you're just being your, you know, like being like a copy of everybody else, you're not going to make any difference.
For instance, one of the things in my collection, this is actually a Scooby Doo Daphne character in the form of a Barbie. Okay. One of the things unique about this is that, you know, this is a very limited edition piece that is from, you know, the 2002 Scooby Doo real movie. So, you know, what gives more value to this? This is the fact that, you know, there are very. It's a limited edition, you know, like, you don't have many of this out there. So likewise, you know, or if. If there are hundreds of millions of Barbies out there. But what is unique is what gives the value to this. And likewise, you know, what is unique to you. And when you're walking in that unique purpose or calling, even though it is a lonely path, this is a lonely character out there, but that's what helps it to stand out. And that's why I challenge people.
Don't worry about the fact that you are going through a lonely path. Like, for me, for instance, because of this, I have to forget about watching. A lot of times people say, you know, even in, at work or anywhere, people will be talking about, oh, I was, I was binge watching these things on Netflix. I was watching all these movies and for me, I don't have much to talk because I hardly watch or I hardly get time to watch anything. So, you know, but then I always look at it that way. You know, instead of watching movies, maybe I'm going to create movies. You know, instead of watching, I'm creating stuff.
[00:09:19] Speaker A: I think the interesting part too is that once you actually, it's not. I don't even say this is lonely.
You gravitate towards people that you suddenly find are like minded, like yourself. And I'm sure in your, in your ministry and in your path and in your unique, you know, traits that are unique specifically to you, you found out that there's a lot more people who think like you than you, than you actually initials you initially thought. And the Internet has done a great job of connecting those people. Right. So I would challenge anybody who thinks that their thought process or their state of mind is not, quote unquote, mainstream or acceptable. It's a lot more people out there that think like you do. Right. So when I created this podcast, you know, my, my goal was to talk to people who have inspiring stories, trajectories, and went off the beaten path. And then, you know, the flooding of requests wanting to get on this show just came through and I'm like, well, boy, there's a lot of people out there that think exactly like, you know, like that process.
Because it does take bravery to think on your own.
[00:10:24] Speaker B: Yes, I mean, it is. See, for example, like, as I said, like, for instance, the minute you are saying that you're a preacher, what people say, oh, I want you to wear a coat suit and I want you to go and, you know, like, preach in front of a pulpit. Like, for me, I don't, I'm not that confident as to myself in a court suit as I am in. For instance, if you can see my T shirt, it is a unique T shirt which has the, it's a, it's a Scooby Doo and, and Shaggy actually, you know, praying and it has a line. Prayer changes things. It's a simple thing, right? For instance, it's self designed. Okay? I designed this and I, you know, I have a page on Instagram called the Scooby Doo Pastor. It's, you know, a lot of times people just criticize, you know, like, how can you do this? You know, this is not the way it's supposed to be. But, you know, like, when we start walking in that unique piece of, you know, like, thing that is when, like you said, I'm really amazed myself, like, to hear that there are so many people who are finding very unique things, and that unique things is actually making the difference around. Like, like you said now, as a preacher, when I started out, like, okay, you know what? I'm the Scooby Doo pastor. People laugh, people mock. But now, when I got the world records, when I started moving in, like, you know, officially at sometimes I am asked to take sessions for children using my Scooby Doo characters. I go around, you know, like, yeah, this is Scooby Doo, and let's learn a lesson from this. So that's a very unique approach. And then people start realizing that is very different and at. And it's impactful at the same time. You know, like, when I'm walking in that I'm more confident to express myself. I don't have to be put in a mold saying, this is the way to do, you know, like, sometimes I'd be talking and I'll suddenly say, you know, like, in Scooby Doo's voice, you know, like, people don't expect that, you know, But I always tell people, like, sometimes, even if it sounds weird, right? Like, for instance, we often say, okay, let's say. Let's talk about Mr. Bean, for instance. Right?
You know, like, it's weird, but that's what catches everybody's attention.
[00:12:43] Speaker A: You know what's crazy about Mr. Bean? I hate to cut you off. I love that show, by the way. You would have thought that show had, like a hundred. Like, had like five seasons. It has 17 or 16 episodes as a whole.
[00:12:53] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:12:54] Speaker A: Literally. I went on Hulu one time. I don't know if Hulu's in India, so.
But, like, I literally turned it on because I wanted to re watch it, right? Because I remember seeing it on all the time as a kid, and I. I thought, I'm, like, in episodes, I'm like, there's got to be more than this. Because I remember it was on for, like, four years. There's 16 episodes of Mr. Bean.
[00:13:11] Speaker B: That's it.
[00:13:12] Speaker A: But it was so unique in that short amount of time that it's timeless, right? It's timeless. It was. If you're honest with yourself, that show was only on for either one year or two, tops.
[00:13:24] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:13:24] Speaker A: But it had that big of a cultural impact.
[00:13:27] Speaker B: Yes.
See, that's what it is, right? Like, it's not about how many episodes or it's not about how long you do. Like, what if you know that one or the few that you do is made such an impact that people are talking about it even after years. Right. Like, Mr. Bean for that matter. Or even there's some. There's a show from the 1970s called the Mind your Language. I don't know if you come across it.
[00:13:50] Speaker A: I'm not familiar with that one.
[00:13:51] Speaker B: Now you're not. Okay. So mind you, language has only three seasons, though, from the 1970s. There are four seasons, but the fourth one is, like, out. But the three seasons is. But, you know, if you watch it. Even if you watch it a million times, you still laugh because it's a very unique blend between, you know, learning grammar and the culture of that time. And with comedy. You know what I mean?
[00:14:15] Speaker A: Beautiful.
[00:14:15] Speaker B: What I mean to say is, like, it need not be relevant for the day, but still, you make such an impact. You know what I mean? Like, a lot of shows came up, they just died down. But, you know, some things that make an impact is like that when they have. Have that blend of uniqueness to it. Let me just give an example. Right, sure. I'm sure you know this character, Taz.
[00:14:37] Speaker A: Tasmanian Devil.
[00:14:39] Speaker B: Yeah, the Tasmanian Devil.
So this is Taz, and yours could be do. Right. So these two are unique pieces. Now, what makes this a unique piece, this is a unique piece of pop where there is a mashup between TAS and Scooby Doo. Okay? Now, there is none like this anywhere. But that's what makes this so unique and stands out so well. Right?
[00:15:05] Speaker A: Right.
[00:15:05] Speaker B: It has the characteristics of Scooby Doo as well as the characteristics of Taz merged together. And that's what brings in a very unique product. And that's what I challenge people that, you know, you don't. Sometimes you don't need to even come out or create something brand new. It could be just thinking something out of the box, like, you know, something different. You know, for me, like, it's like taking something called Scooby Doo and taking the past apart and merging, you know, taking Scooby Doo and Tasmanian Devil, and then you get this. So sometimes it's all about thinking differently and being bold enough to walk in it. That's what makes the difference.
[00:15:42] Speaker A: I think that's unique. Right? Because, you know, in a. In a. In a world of billions of people, the one thing. And this is. And this isn't just a person thing, it's a company's thing, too. Right. They suddenly latch on to trends and fads because they think that that will make them money or bring in a customer base or they can be what you would be, like, you know, like, go viral, so to speak. And then the viral will lead to bigger or Better things for themselves.
[00:16:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:06] Speaker A: But sometimes the person that goes viral, that's who they are. So like somebody who goes viral in a small 15 second, 10 second, 5 second clip, whatever that's really. That person really is. And then you'll try to do that or somebody else will, and you're the cheap imitator because that's not authentically who you really are. Right. So it doesn't resonate or have the lasting staying power that it would for the person who originally went viral, whether they did something positive or whether they did something negative. I'm not here to judge the merits of it, but they went viral because that's who they really are. You know what I'm saying?
And now you try to do it and then all of a sudden it comes across as a cheap carbon copy.
[00:16:46] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:16:47] Speaker A: And then companies try to. Companies are guilty of it too, right? They like, oh, you know, somebody came out with a particular product. Right. And then next, you know, company wants to get that customer base and then they try to come out with that product and then they cheapen and take shortcuts because they just wanted to make a quick buy.
[00:17:03] Speaker B: Yes.
And that is why I always make sure that, you know, like how much of it I'm tempted to, you know, you know, like, how do I say this?
This is what somebody else said or this is the, you know, the, the SEO title that somebody else used and I want to use the same just so that I can get virality. It's not going to work out, you know.
[00:17:23] Speaker A: Correct.
[00:17:24] Speaker B: That's where you need to be confident in walking in your unique calling. Now, for instance, even with regard to this desire of setting a world record. Right.
I know that for the, the Scooby Doo record, for the largest collection in the world is record. It's set by two different people in Canada.
And that. That's over 1800 pieces, if I'm not wrong, by a girl called Danny and another person called Rachel.
1400 pieces. That was first a set first. And then Danny broke that record. Now on, on.
To be honest, I know that I don't stand a chance to set that record because first things first, they've been collecting this for the. Well over like, you know, 30, 35, 40 years because they have that option where they go to thrift stores, they get these $1 Scooby Doo pieces. And to be honest, many of these things that I bought, for instance, you know, like even the Scooby Doo or a lot of these, I mean, like, to be honest, I have to spend a huge Sum of money to get them. Right. Like, because the. We have the delivery charges and the import charges and they cost. Like, for instance, to give you a context, this particular shaggy, big Shaggy of Skiru is big. When I bought this, if you look at the Indian currency value, this is around 1500 Indian rupees. Now with the delivery and the import tax, this would. This cost me around like 9,000 Indian rupees. Rupees. So think about how.
[00:18:57] Speaker A: I don't know what the equivalency of the currency exchange is, but that seems like a bet.
[00:19:01] Speaker B: It is a lot. It is a lot.
So at the same time, now just imagine now even if you say 9,000 Indian rupees or 10,000 Indian rupees, that's around like, that's. I mean, like 700. I mean, like a dollar. So I. I'm not sure. I'm just.
[00:19:19] Speaker A: But the point is, is that it's a costly endeavor, you know?
[00:19:23] Speaker B: Yeah, it is a lot.
At the same time, I mean, I think one of the pieces that I have is a Scooby Doo chess piece. If you want, I can share the image with you because I can't bring the whole piece.
That cost me around 22 Indian thousand Indian rupees. That's 22,000 Indian rupees. I think that would be around 300 or something like that, if I'm not wrong. So think about it. Like, I. So I realized that if I were to compete with somebody else setting the highest record, it's never going to happen for me, you know, I. I'm gonna go broke. Then that's when I thought something differently. You know, like, okay, if I can't do this, can I do something else to set a record? And that's when I came up with this, with an idea. Again, I can't share the. Maybe I can share the image with you. How I said it. So this is the world record that I set. What I did was from head to toe, I covered myself with all Scooby Doo everyday items.
You know, what are the things you would think of? Like, you know, you would have a Scooby Doo wallet or you would have a Scooby Doo, you know, lanyard, you.
[00:20:27] Speaker A: Know, in a long time.
[00:20:31] Speaker B: Yes. And then you would think of something like a Scooby Doo currency note. Or you would think of, you know, I need a Scooby Doo.
So, you know, this is how I thought. Or. Or for instance, you know, of course, if it's a hot day, you would want to add us to be cooling less, you know, so what I did was I, I just collected like all the everyday items that we use could be do. And then I set a world record of, you know, how. I don't know if you've seen the people who set a record of the largest number of bees on their body. You know, I don't know if you've seen that. So that's got this idea, like, if you can have the largest number of bees on a person's body, largest number of Scooby Doo items on a person's body, you know, like, that's the idea I thought of and then I set the world record.
So I'm not competing with anybody. And if somebody wants to break the record, let them go ahead. But my intention is I got a unique idea and I went with it and I. And I'm happy about it, you know, so.
[00:21:34] Speaker A: Well, you know, there's a famous quote out there. I'm not sure it's attributed to, but I've seen it attributed to a famous deceased rock star named Kurt Cobain from Nirvana. He said, I laugh at you. You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because. Because you're all the same. Right? So I, I don't know if that, I mean, I've seen it associated with him, I'm a big Nirvana fan, but I can't attest if it's directly attributed to him. But that being said, it once. You actually, to do your own unique thing, you have to be willing to be laughed at. Right? You have to be willing to. It sounds like cheesy. It sounds like corny. Like, you have to have a certain level of, like, I'm probably going to be mocked for this. Even if it's just internally in your own head and nobody does it directly.
But you have to be willing to say, okay, yeah, people will probably think I'm a little silly. They'll probably get a good chuckle out of it, but the reality is about it, I simply don't care. Right. I'm not going to live my life on what you believe and think and, you know, that takes a certain level of confidence. It takes a certain level of obliviousness to what's taking around you.
[00:22:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:35] Speaker A: And usually the people that are laughing or having, you know, a good time, and we all laugh. I mean, I laughed at things that, you know, people, people do, you know, mannerism, whatever the case might be. But that means that there's probably, there's something more wrong with them than me.
Right? You know what I'm saying? Like, so, like, if You're. If your insecurities or your thought process is that because I decided to act or move myself in a different path, then that's just how you have to feel. And to be honest with you, that's. People can't live their lives wondering what other people think.
[00:23:09] Speaker B: That's so true. I mean, I was actually reminded of how people, for instance, right? Like, you know, they. They initially said that the Earth was what? The earth was flat. Somebody said they killed people for things.
[00:23:23] Speaker A: For saying other things. You know, they killed people for having different when they. Even when they proved that the world wasn't flat.
[00:23:29] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:23:30] Speaker A: Right.
[00:23:31] Speaker B: So, you know, but the thing is, this truth of the matter is, no matter how people's opinions were, nothing changed. The actual truth about how the Earth was, you know, like, the Earth was not, like, you know what? I think I should be flat and became flat, you know, or how the.
[00:23:47] Speaker A: Sun revolved around the Earth. And then it's like, I hate to break this to you and, you know, but think about the people, and I hate to cut you off who that. Who had to be challenged, you know, now it's just you. You know, you have satellites, you have all these other things, but picture yourself in ancient times going against the council or going against the senators and all these other people. You know, you're like, you know, it's kind of like in Superman when Jor El is telling them Krypton is gonna explode, and everybody's telling them, like, nope, it's not gonna blow up. It's not. And he's like, no, I'm really telling you this. This plan is gonna blow up, and everybody's. And you have to be the one person in the room to try to tell that group of people, like, this is not what you think that it is.
[00:24:29] Speaker B: That's true. And at the same time, I enjoy doing that being. Because, see, the thing is this. A lot of times, even in my life, right, like, people laughed and mocked at me, you know, about, like, two weeks ago, I completed, like, 13 years of me, you know, like, running my podcast and all of these things. People laughed and people mocked. And eventually my podcast started growing up the charts to a point where, especially in India, under Christianity, it started ranking, like, at number one and all of that. And that enabled me to interview a lot of renowned guests, like, including some Hollywood actresses.
And that at that point, I was like, you know, who's having the last laugh? I mean, I'm not saying it with pride, but you knew what you doing.
[00:25:12] Speaker A: Was the right thing.
[00:25:13] Speaker B: You knew yes. So that's what I challenge people. Like the. So the very people who laughed and mocked at will be like, okay, good job.
[00:25:24] Speaker A: You know, I mean, it's the truth. I mean, right? Like, think how many people laughed at, you know. You know, in college when, you know, maybe Bill Gates is in the nerd club and he's working on computers and everybody like, dude, you're working on computer. Who's gonna use a computer? What are you talking about, dude? And then next thing you know, like all those people that created these multi billion dollar companies and have been infinitely successful, their friends were having the good time and they're tinkering in their garage, you know, hey man, come watch the sports game. Hey man, we're going out to eat. Like, no, I need to finish this. And I don't work it on. I'm like, dude, man, like, come on. And they're shaking their head at him. And then 10 years later, they're like, dang, that's what that dude was working on.
[00:26:03] Speaker B: True.
It kind of like reminds me of how, you know, I brought just two of my Scooby Doo ghost here. You can see that.
No, all these ghosts in Scooby Doo, they make all the noise, they scare the people, they try to silence, they do everything. But at the end of the story, when you unmask them, they're powerless. So, you know, likewise in your life, there may be people who are trying to discourage you, stop you, harm you. They try to do all sorts of things. But if you continue to do what you're called to do, like how Scubina and the gang, you know, they are not running away from. Of course they run initially, but then they keep, you know, in for the long haul, try to solve the mystery, do what is right. What happens, they eventually come out victorious, you know, so to speak, unmask these villains, you know, we will unmask who was right and who was wrong in the end, you know, and I'll just.
[00:26:52] Speaker A: You know, one of the things I always. I take martial arts. I have a black belt and Tung Soo Do Karate. I've talked to a couple different guests about my martial arts and I'm not a professional fighter, right? Like, so for anybody who's listening, you know, I. I'm a martial artist. You know, I take martial arts, but I'm not a professional fighter on any level. I've done tournaments, right, but okay. And I have a black belt and a brown belt and another style, Taekwondo and I've taken other different styles, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. But one thing they tell you is, is that you have to go towards the aggression. You can. Like, you're not aggressive inherently, but in order to defend yourself properly, you have to walk towards the aggression to defuse the aggression. And that's not to say that's an analogy that I'm making is, is that in order to actually resolve certain things, like the Scooby Doo analogy made, you have to go towards things that are going to make you uncomfortable, that are going to challenge you. And, you know, it's like a base. Like if somebody's trying to hit you with a baseball bat. The hardest part of getting hit with a baseball bat is at the end of the swing. So if you want to stop getting hit from the baseball bat, you have to walk towards that because you're. Because you're nullifying the power that. To get a full torque behind it. So like you said, unmasking the villain, walking towards things that make you uncomfortable, being your unique self, even when it can cause mockery. It's something that's a very, very powerful thing.
[00:28:09] Speaker B: Yes. In line with that, again, this is not. Excuse me, this is coming back to the tasks and the Looney Tunes analogy.
[00:28:16] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:28:17] Speaker B: You see, if you see, typically what happens with the minute task comes into the place and you know, there's an announcement made, all the animals run away. You know, that is tasks many devil, you know, run for your lives.
All the other animals run away. But if all the animals run away, we wouldn't be talking about Tasmanian Devil in the first place. Because what makes the character unique is there is one character, most likely Bugs Bunny, which does not run away, you know, and that's why we are talking about TAs or that bugs Bunny or Looney Tunes which entertains us in the first place. So either it is Bugs Bunny or it will be Dafinat. Either of these, they will end up encountering task. And I think that's what it is. Like you said, you know, instead of running away from the things, if you start encountering, maybe that's what is going to bring the essence out of your life.
Otherwise, you'll be among the other animals that ran away. Or there is theirs.
[00:29:10] Speaker A: You know, I'd much rather. Honestly, man, listen, I would much rather watch a movie that I enjoy by myself than sit with 10 people with one that I didn't like because I decided to go with the group. That's just the truth.
I mean, total honest with yourself, man. So, yeah, you know, I just want. I always ask every guest this, you know, because like I said, this was very good for. For. For to listen to as a host, to have somebody like you. Where can people find John Gifta?
[00:29:38] Speaker B: You can find me on my YouTube channel. You can find everything. You just search for John Gifter. You would find my YouTube channel, my Instagram account.
You can also check my books, like unveil your purpose. I've written three books. Unveil your purpose is about finding your purpose.
Who am I is a Christian teen book specifically about your identity. And another book, which again became a number one new release on Amazon, is a small storybook called Giphy and the Kingdom of Titanica. It's just a storybook with some life lessons in it. So you can find my books, so you can find me on socials, you can Find me on YouTube as well as on the podcast platforms. So, yeah.
[00:30:15] Speaker A: And you know what? And for full disclosure for people who are listening, they don't need me to find you. This was just my opportunity for you to speak about yourself, you know, and all the wonderful things that you've done. And I think a half an hour doesn't encompass the good things that you've done.
But I really look forward to having this episode released because I think John Gifta brings a lot of positivity to the world and growth and understanding. And listen for anybody who's listening, be your unique self, because at the end of the day, people's thoughts and processes, you don't take to your grave. So be you and live the best version of you possible.
[00:30:46] Speaker B: And thank you so much. Thank you so much for having me. It was such a joy with being with you all.
[00:30:52] Speaker A: Thank you, sir. Appreciate your time.
