Order of Man - 140： Living the Fit Life ｜ Drew Canole

00:00:00.000 Four years ago, I was fat, out of shape, and miserable.

00:00:03.300 My relationships were suffering, my business was falling apart,

00:00:06.780 and I was at a complete loss on how to turn my life around.

00:00:10.720 That was until I began to take better care of my body

00:00:13.080 and focused on making the most of the machines that are my body and mind.

00:00:16.560 Today, I am joined by the founder of FitLife TV, Drew Canole.

00:00:19.960 We talk about his transformation as well as mine,

00:00:23.220 the most powerful way a man can start his morning,

00:00:25.700 how to embrace and learn from your mistakes,

00:00:27.660 the power of a clear vision, and how you too can live the fit life.

00:00:31.520 You're a man of action.

00:00:32.860 You live life to the fullest.

00:00:34.300 Embrace your fears and boldly chart your own path.

00:00:37.240 When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.

00:00:41.660 You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong.

00:00:46.760 This is your life.

00:00:47.860 This is who you are.

00:00:49.280 This is who you will become.

00:00:50.980 At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

00:00:54.020 you can call yourself a man.

00:00:56.280 Men, what is going on today?

00:02:34.020 Gentlemen, I have been looking forward to introducing you to my guest and friend today,

00:02:38.280 Drew Canole for some time.

00:02:39.400 Now I have been following his work with fit life TV and Organifi for years.

00:02:45.340 And when we were able to finally connect and get them on the show,

00:02:48.000 I jumped at that opportunity.

00:02:49.420 You're going to hear this guy's excitement for life as we discuss all things health related,

00:02:54.060 which by the way, goes well beyond just exercise and nutrition.

00:02:57.420 We talk about a lot today.

00:02:58.960 He is a bestselling author.

00:03:00.320 And as I said before, the founder and CEO of fit life TV,

00:03:03.700 where he has reached millions and millions of people across the planet on the topics of health,

00:03:08.040 fitness, healing, and longevity.

00:03:10.660 So get your notepads out as Drew and I have an incredible conversation about living the fit life.

00:03:17.520 Drew, what's up, man?

00:03:18.420 Thanks for joining me on the show today.

00:03:19.960 Hey, thanks for having me on.

00:03:21.040 This is awesome.

00:03:22.000 It is awesome.

00:03:22.720 I'm excited about your energy.

00:03:23.820 I've been following you for a while.

00:03:24.900 And so I'm excited that you'll bring the energy.

00:03:26.860 I'm setting you up for high expectations here.

00:03:28.760 Well, set them up.

00:03:29.600 Raise them up, dude.

00:03:30.260 Whatever expectations you have, 10X them.

00:03:32.300 Okay, let's do this.

00:03:33.180 That's right.

00:03:34.260 Well, hey, I want to talk with you.

00:03:35.360 I want to lead off with, I think, a very important question for a lot of guys.

00:03:38.400 And the question that I wanted to lead off with is,

00:03:41.760 why is it so difficult for men to produce the type of results that you share when it comes to

00:03:47.320 nutrition and fitness and mindset when we're pretty clear on what the answers are?

00:03:52.740 I'm wondering about the disconnect between what we know and what we actually do.

00:03:57.120 Yeah.

00:03:57.280 So let's go down the rabbit hole with this.

00:03:59.020 For me, anytime I approach any transformational situation, be it a business, a person, whatever

00:04:05.140 it is, you really got to start from source.

00:04:08.180 Like, as a man, we really have to know who we are.

00:04:11.380 Like, who you be is more important than anything else.

00:04:14.760 So are my ways of being congruent with the results that I'm creating in my life?

00:04:20.460 Because you caused them.

00:04:21.860 You are the cause of cause.

00:04:23.160 Everything that you've created in your life so far is because of you, nobody else.

00:04:27.240 And I think what a lot of men do is they become victims to their circumstance.

00:04:32.400 They become wrapped up in their own stories.

00:04:35.040 You and I have a very similar background.

00:04:37.080 Right.

00:04:37.220 I saw that.

00:04:38.180 Didn't really have good dads.

00:04:39.700 I was actually physically tortured and abused.

00:04:41.840 And instead of using that as a crutch my whole entire life and making my parents right for

00:04:48.880 wronging me, my whole entire life experience, instead, I decided to rise up out of the freaking 0.98

00:04:53.400 ashes like the rising phoenix, like you did in your life, and really take life by the balls 0.95

00:04:58.440 and create a freaking amazing life that is full of miracles and magic because I know that

00:05:04.980 I'm the creator of it.

00:05:05.900 So when a man steps into creation versus being a victim and just allowing life to kind of

00:05:13.980 move them along, it's much more empowering.

00:05:16.480 So with everything that I do, I know that I'm looking at a reflection of what I'm creating

00:05:20.120 in myself ultimately.

00:05:21.860 You bring up a really good word, which I actually use quite a bit, and that's congruency.

00:05:25.320 And I think the point that I've found in my life with congruency between what I know I

00:05:29.620 should be doing and what I'm actually doing has built a new level of confidence in me.

00:05:34.080 And I know that you talk a lot on confidence.

00:05:35.940 Is that something you're seeing as well when you marry or bridge the gap between what you

00:05:39.780 know and what you do?

00:05:41.200 Absolutely.

00:05:41.920 So what I know and what I do is sometimes completely different.

00:05:45.860 I listened to one of your podcasts recently, and you were talking about some of the pitfalls

00:05:48.960 and some of the things that we do as human beings that everybody does.

00:05:52.420 Sure.

00:05:52.620 Sometimes you and I will binge watch Netflix, and we know we shouldn't, or we'll have a bag

00:05:57.140 of Cheetos or something, and we know we shouldn't, or we'll drive through McDonald's.

00:06:00.440 In the back of our minds, we're like, why am I doing this?

00:06:02.920 But we do it because we're human.

00:06:05.440 So what is the big thing that keeps us from being congruent on all levels?

00:06:09.780 I think number one is not beating yourself up in those states, but just embracing it.

00:06:15.520 Like, I'm the juice guy.

00:06:16.900 Like, we have the largest green juice following in the world.

00:06:19.160 But occasionally, you know, I'm going to be at the airport, and there's no food, and

00:06:22.160 a Big Mac looks pretty good.

00:06:23.660 Do you feel a little guilty if somebody catches you on a Big Mac when you know you probably

00:06:27.080 shouldn't?

00:06:27.480 No, no, no, no, no.

00:06:28.800 This is what you're talking about.

00:06:29.980 Don't beat yourself up, right?

00:06:31.060 Yeah, yeah.

00:06:32.080 Don't beat yourself up.

00:06:33.520 It's part of the journey.

00:06:34.680 It's part of the ride.

00:06:35.600 And you're being human.

00:06:37.180 Like, and I think when we tell ourselves that we're these gurus, or we're outside of what

00:06:42.280 it's like being a human, you're setting yourself up for massive failure.

00:06:45.880 Sure.

00:06:46.320 So when you can walk with kings and walk with common folk and have similar conversations

00:06:51.420 and hug each one of them just the same, I think that's what it's like to be a man.

00:06:55.800 Like, that's really when you've embraced manhood in its fullest, is when you see no difference

00:07:00.680 in any human being or living thing out there, and you can embrace it all the same.

00:07:04.940 So loving the contrast, I think, is huge with congruency.

00:07:08.560 Knowing that if I do have a Big Mac or whatever it is, then I get to be committed towards my results

00:07:14.340 and my goals for the next six days, and that's going to propel me to have massive results,

00:07:20.300 and it's a way for me to kind of escape for a moment, which I'm comfortable with,

00:07:24.120 and then get right back on the bandwagon and the bus of transformation in my life.

00:07:27.960 I mean, this is the concept of basically a cheat meal, I assume, but what I see a lot

00:07:32.320 of guys do is they'll have the quote-unquote cheat meal, and then they'll let that thing

00:07:35.920 compound rather than getting back on track.

00:07:38.560 Exactly.

00:07:39.100 Yeah, because what does a cheat meal do?

00:07:40.720 Well, you lose your willpower in the moment.

00:07:42.500 The willpower is a muscle that we all have as human beings, and when we build our willpower

00:07:46.840 muscles, that's what sets a cascade of events out into our future that are more congruent

00:07:51.880 with what we want to attract in the first place.

00:07:54.280 So having that cheat meal, rephrasing it to treat meal is actually more beneficial on a

00:08:00.540 psychological level, and it allows you to actually enjoy it instead of feeling guilty

00:08:04.800 and sitting in shame the whole entire time, like, woe is me, I can't believe I just had

00:08:08.920 this double Big Mac or whatever it is, this pizza, it's okay, you know, and then you can

00:08:14.360 just roll out of that with much more masculine grace at that point.

00:08:18.060 Yeah, I like the reframing of that.

00:08:19.900 I've never heard that before, but it's definitely the psychology of framing things in a positive

00:08:23.700 context definitely can help.

00:08:25.260 So you've got embracing those mistakes or those failures or setbacks, then you've got

00:08:29.100 loving the contrast.

00:08:30.000 Is there something else you're going to add there?

00:08:31.180 Yeah, there's one thing I wanted to add to that, Ryan, too, and I think this is huge,

00:08:35.160 is oftentimes we get so caught up in the what-is-ness of the present moment, but we're not accessing

00:08:42.020 one of the greatest powers we have as men, and that's vision.

00:08:44.820 I think a lot of men lack vision when it comes to their goals, when it comes to their life.

00:08:49.740 So if you don't have the vision, then the rest of the things that you want in your life,

00:08:53.760 be it financial, physical, relational, will just kind of fall to the wayside.

00:08:58.200 So one trick that's really useful for me, and this is a tangible thing that you can do

00:09:02.540 if you're not driving, write this down, is actually think about what your ideal self,

00:09:08.140 that higher version, that second self, that enlightened version, whatever you want to call

00:09:11.880 it, the super conscious version for some of these people out here in California, whatever

00:09:16.380 that version would look at your life in the moment, right here, right now, what would that

00:09:22.940 person have the mindset around 10 years from now?

00:09:25.980 That higher version 10 years from now, what does he see your life as?

00:09:30.540 And in that moment when you're about to be incongruent or lose your willpower muscles,

00:09:34.980 what would the higher version do?

00:09:37.560 And when you're living from that higher self, you can make better choices in that moment.

00:09:43.020 And that can be your new hero, because you're always chasing after the next gold, the next

00:09:48.920 medal, the next job, whatever the dream is that you have in your heart.

00:09:52.160 And when you're living through the eyes of your higher self, it's going to pull you forward

00:09:57.440 much quicker than it is to try to run from pain or anything else.

00:10:01.160 In my personal experience, that's what's really worked for me.

00:10:03.440 So maybe it'll work for some people listening to this as well.

00:10:05.660 Does that make sense?

00:10:06.380 Totally.

00:10:06.840 Yeah.

00:10:07.060 And I think what you're alluding to and talking about right here is the idea of consciousness,

00:10:10.380 that we can actually project ourselves outside of our own thoughts and then in a way look

00:10:14.900 into who we are being and who we want to be to affect change.

00:10:18.080 Exactly.

00:10:19.700 Yeah, it makes sense.

00:10:20.440 How does somebody go from this victim type mentality?

00:10:24.860 And I know we could probably talk about this all day and maybe not even skin the surface

00:10:28.180 to somebody who realizes that they have ultimate control over who they are and what they do.

00:10:34.140 Absolutely.

00:10:34.980 Well, I think the biggest thing in getting over the whole victim thing is to understand truly

00:10:39.720 why you have these stories going on in your mind as a man anyway.

00:10:45.100 So what is this story?

00:10:46.540 Is the story that mom wasn't there for you as a child or dad wasn't showing up as a good

00:10:52.180 dad?

00:10:53.020 And what are you allowing?

00:10:54.560 What's the payoff of having that story, right?

00:10:57.220 What's showing up for you because of that?

00:10:59.380 Maybe you've been in random relationships.

00:11:01.920 You're dating three or four different girls at a time and you want to be serious, but something

00:11:06.620 sabotages you subconsciously every time you try to be serious, right?

00:11:10.540 I'm preaching to the old choir.

00:11:11.780 I used to be this guy.

00:11:12.740 Well, yeah.

00:11:13.020 I mean, I think all of us fall into this category at some point in our lives.

00:11:15.480 Some of us just haven't gotten over it yet.

00:11:19.220 Yeah, exactly.

00:11:20.120 Well, some guys go to the grave like this.

00:11:22.080 That's a scary thing, right?

00:11:23.740 So knowing that we do this as men and that story that we have playing in our head is a

00:11:28.100 perfect opportunity to start to rewrite the story.

00:11:32.440 And one thing that I do is I journal, you know, I write it down.

00:11:35.820 What am I making up about this thing that happened to me in the past that's holding me back from

00:11:40.120 being that bigger, higher version of who I am?

00:11:42.180 And then I just go on a tangent.

00:11:44.920 So what are some of the stories that you've told yourself?

00:11:47.360 Because I know you've had a big transformative change in your life.

00:11:50.220 What were some of the stories that you were ascribing to or holding on to?

00:11:54.340 Oh, my God.

00:11:55.120 Too many to count.

00:11:56.620 And I'll be vulnerable.

00:11:57.680 But one of my biggest stories because of the abuse that I went through as a child was

00:12:01.420 I'm not lovable.

00:12:02.420 So I would create situations and circumstances where not only wasn't I lovable, but I wasn't

00:12:08.580 loving myself in the moment.

00:12:10.060 And I would set myself up for failure each and every time because in the back of my mind,

00:12:14.220 I wasn't lovable.

00:12:15.200 It was hard for me to be in relationship because even though the girl loved me, absolutely.

00:12:20.500 I was still self-sabotaging and pushing her away because I believed in my own heart that

00:12:24.440 I wasn't lovable.

00:12:25.480 Sure.

00:12:25.600 So that's the dude, that's the Drew that would show up at the party.

00:12:30.600 And nobody wants to be around that guy. 0.98

00:12:32.440 So that's a story I had to nip in the butt real quick. 0.96

00:12:35.300 What did you do in order to change that? 0.96

00:12:37.480 I think a lot of work, a lot of inner work, really.

00:12:40.400 I changed the way that I'm being ultimately.

00:12:43.140 Like if you look at logical levels of neurolinguistic programming, ways of being are far more important

00:12:48.320 than environment, than goals or anything else.

00:12:52.460 Because if you can shift who you are on a vibrational level of being, that's going to pull the goal

00:12:58.300 of who you want to be that much closer to you in a much more effective time frame.

00:13:03.140 So basically, who did I get to show up as was a question that I asked myself each and every day.

00:13:08.700 Well, I get to show up as love.

00:13:10.240 I get to show up as vulnerable.

00:13:12.020 I get to show up as authentic.

00:13:13.420 I get to show up as a man that has integrity, as somebody who's committed to his goals and his

00:13:18.320 vision because I love myself and I love the results that I'm making.

00:13:23.360 So as soon as I started to adapt those ways of being and really sat with it each and every day

00:13:28.080 and meditated on it, then the opportunities started to present themselves like the movie

00:13:33.660 screen just changed in my life, if that makes sense.

00:13:36.760 It does, because I've been there.

00:13:37.780 So I understand that.

00:13:39.280 You bring up a really good distinction between, and one of the things you said is who you are

00:13:43.260 versus who you be, right?

00:13:44.480 And I look at who you are as something that's passive.

00:13:47.200 I am what I am, and I can't change that versus who you be, which is more assertive.

00:13:51.700 I can be and decide who I want to be and who I want to become.

00:13:55.200 Yeah.

00:13:55.560 Yeah, there's reaction and there's responding.

00:13:58.100 And when we show up in reaction, that's because we're operating out of a reptilian brain or

00:14:02.280 occipital cortex, which is that old brain that we have as human beings.

00:14:05.460 Everybody has it.

00:14:06.140 We can't get rid of it.

00:14:07.540 It's what keeps us safe.

00:14:08.820 You got to fall in love with it, essentially.

00:14:10.480 It's the shadow side of the self too, right?

00:14:12.820 And then going into a responding side of the brain, responsibility, I am able to respond

00:14:20.760 in every moment, comes from a higher version of who we are.

00:14:24.060 It comes from flow states.

00:14:26.100 If you read the book Rise of Superman, when he's operating from a prefrontal cortex state,

00:14:30.380 he's accessing not only his left and right brain, but his full brain is lit up.

00:14:35.060 And when we can get to that place, our ability to respond to triggers that would normally knock

00:14:39.960 us off our path to kinghood, whatever you want to call it, emperor, magician, the archetypes

00:14:44.960 of being a man, then we can sit where we want to be and just observe it, but not be attached

00:14:50.520 to it.

00:14:51.260 I think that's powerful.

00:14:51.840 Is this Stephen Kotler's work that you're referring to now with flow and all of that?

00:14:56.300 Okay.

00:14:56.500 Yeah.

00:14:56.740 Yeah.

00:14:56.920 Rise of Superman is Stephen Kotler's book.

00:14:59.100 Great book.

00:14:59.740 Yeah.

00:15:00.020 And his newer one, I think is Stealing Fire, which I think goes down a little bit more on that

00:15:03.940 as well.

00:15:04.440 Very cool.

00:15:05.320 Okay.

00:15:05.620 So how does a guy who doesn't love himself or doesn't think he can be loved and starts

00:15:10.000 getting into this mindset work and changing who he is inside go into, now I'm going to

00:15:14.040 start juicing and now I'm going to get into nutrition.

00:15:16.600 Like what is that?

00:15:17.680 What does that bridge look like?

00:15:19.000 And how do you get to this point?

00:15:20.600 Great question.

00:15:21.780 So starting seven years ago, I was on this journey of losing 40 pounds.

00:15:26.860 I was tired of beating myself up every day.

00:15:29.280 I was tired of looking in the mirror and seeing this guy that wasn't going after his goals

00:15:32.900 and his dreams, sleeping in on the weekends, staying out till two or three o'clock at night,

00:15:37.900 every night on the weekends, binge drinking, binge eating, living a life of gluttony.

00:15:42.160 And I was like, you know what?

00:15:43.820 I did something really cool and I want to recommend everybody to do this, but I actually

00:15:47.960 visualized a death ceremony in my mind and I visualized everybody standing around my grave

00:15:54.400 and the people that I impacted and made a difference in.

00:15:56.860 And I'm like, all right, well, this has been my results up to this point in my life.

00:16:01.540 And if I was to multiply this out and live to be, let's say, you know, the average age

00:16:07.600 of a human being, 87 or something like that, what would my results look like?

00:16:11.800 And I saw the casket.

00:16:13.540 I saw the grave.

00:16:14.320 I saw people weeping, but I didn't see much impact.

00:16:17.880 I didn't see me making a difference in many people's lives.

00:16:21.140 I'm like, you know what?

00:16:22.060 It's time to flip this script.

00:16:24.020 Like I got to this point where every day we're dying anyway.

00:16:26.940 And I know that's kind of a morbid thought, but it motivated me.

00:16:30.940 I'm like, all right, well, if this is already happening, what can I do to make the best of

00:16:34.580 it?

00:16:35.120 Well, I can definitely do something that I love every day because I'm going to be working

00:16:39.560 the majority of my life.

00:16:41.820 And if I'm going to be working anyway, why not choose something that I'm massively obsessed

00:16:46.180 with?

00:16:46.820 And that happened to be health.

00:16:48.220 It happened to be mindset, personal development.

00:16:50.080 But I didn't look like it.

00:16:51.100 I was 40 pounds heavier.

00:16:52.800 I was lazy.

00:16:54.060 I wasn't real motivated.

00:16:55.460 And I had to shift who I was as a human being.

00:16:58.720 So the greatest catalyst in my shift was a gentleman who healed himself from cancer in

00:17:04.520 six months, handed me this green juice.

00:17:06.720 It looked like freaking swamp water. 0.82

00:17:08.600 I'm like, here's this thing that looks absolutely disgusting. 0.61

00:17:11.500 What's it going to do for me as this Michigan boy growing up on pizza and hamburger helper and

00:17:17.160 burgers and potatoes and all this other Michigan food, which I love still.

00:17:21.360 Yeah, I was going to ask if you still enjoy that stuff or not.

00:17:23.820 Of course, absolutely.

00:17:25.900 But I felt something different.

00:17:27.620 I felt the energy from the micronutrients in all those veggies and that delicious juice

00:17:32.260 that was extracted.

00:17:34.280 And it takes about 15 minutes to digest the juice and really absorb all the enzymes and

00:17:39.100 nutrients, the aminos, as opposed to three hours of the human body breaking down food

00:17:44.800 and extracting the vitamins that way.

00:17:46.800 Is that just because of the process that's used to create the juice breaks some of that

00:17:50.820 stuff?

00:17:51.160 You're basically doing that before you even consume it.

00:17:53.780 Yeah, it turns it into liquid.

00:17:55.280 And human beings are really human juicers.

00:17:58.440 We turn everything into juice in order to get food, in order to get vitamins out of a

00:18:03.340 piece of meat, like let's say a filet, right?

00:18:05.720 You got the 12 ounce filet.

00:18:07.100 It's perfectly cooked.

00:18:07.980 You're at the restaurant and you love it.

00:18:10.240 But it takes three hours to turn that filet into juice so the body can actually use it as

00:18:15.040 fuel.

00:18:16.360 So when I shortcut the system juicing, like it's the ultimate hack.

00:18:20.140 When I have a green juice, I'm literally having a blood transfusion right there on the

00:18:23.760 spot of nutrients.

00:18:25.420 And it just hijacked my energy to a new level.

00:18:28.340 I started doing this every day for two weeks, one green juice, 32 ounces.

00:18:32.460 And I started to look and feel a lot differently.

00:18:35.580 Just changed my physiology.

00:18:37.200 My brain was ignited.

00:18:38.440 It was turned on.

00:18:39.100 I coupled that with intermittent fasting seven years ago, lost 40 pounds in 90 days.

00:18:44.340 Oh my goodness.

00:18:45.560 I documented the whole thing on YouTube.

00:18:47.280 I was shooting videos.

00:18:48.600 I was showing people what the possibility was.

00:18:50.460 I was talking about books that I was reading.

00:18:52.500 I took six months off of the job that I was doing before.

00:18:55.800 And I started FitLife TV in that moment.

00:18:58.640 Moved to California from Tampa because I was around a bunch of people that were also in

00:19:03.380 the same mindset.

00:19:04.400 They would go out every weekend.

00:19:05.740 They'd get a table at the bar.

00:19:06.940 They'd drink as much booze as possible.

00:19:09.180 And you know what?

00:19:09.780 You're shaking your head right now.

00:19:10.780 You're like, I got a friend like that.

00:19:12.060 You sure.

00:19:12.360 So transitioning away, I knew I had to break out of that environment.

00:19:17.380 And changing the environment is one of the biggest keys to transformation.

00:19:20.740 If you want to stop eating junk food, get rid of all the junk food in your house.

00:19:24.000 If you want to stop being around people that are sabotaging your end goal of your results 0.98

00:19:28.240 that you want to create in your life, stop hanging around those freaking people.

00:19:31.420 And that's what I did.

00:19:32.280 I moved to California, started FitLife TV, shooting a video every single day on YouTube,

00:19:37.880 posting it, editing, writing blogs.

00:19:39.620 I was fired up for the first time in my life.

00:19:43.000 And then eventually, I started to get emails.

00:19:45.600 And the world was giving me feedback that I was on my path of inspiring many more people.

00:19:51.280 And within about seven years, we went from having zero followers to about 5 million on

00:19:56.740 social media right now.

00:19:58.260 This is amazing.

00:19:58.860 I mean, this is similar to my story, which is, I think, what you alluded to earlier.

00:20:01.760 I'm a little further behind than you, but definitely on that right path.

00:20:04.620 Was this when you were in the financial industry?

00:20:06.760 Yes.

00:20:07.200 Yep.

00:20:07.740 Doing credit and debt settlement.

00:20:09.660 And I loved helping people, but I did not like the actual medium to do it.

00:20:13.900 Sure.

00:20:14.460 So how has this evolved then?

00:20:15.860 You go from this guy who's 40 pounds overweight, we're going to start juicing, which I know

00:20:20.660 guys are shaking their head right now, rolling their eyes like it can't be that simple.

00:20:23.760 How has this evolved for you over the past seven years?

00:20:27.500 Here's what I'm going to give you, because this is powerful for me.

00:20:29.940 At the time, I did not only the near-death experience of going through it in my vision,

00:20:34.180 but I also did what's called the why-dentity.

00:20:36.520 I why-dentified myself.

00:20:37.860 I created a why that made me cry, and I lived from that vision.

00:20:42.300 If you don't get anything else outside of this call or this podcast that you're actually

00:20:45.860 listening to, remember your why, because if you know why you're doing something, it's

00:20:51.160 absolutely going to transform your life.

00:20:53.460 So what I did is I asked the question, what do I want 90 days from now, and why do I want

00:20:57.060 it?

00:20:57.740 Is it because I wanted a six-pack?

00:20:59.280 Partly, I wanted to look good, but more because I wanted to throw the football around

00:21:04.400 with my son and his child 70 years from now, right?

00:21:08.460 I wanted to live to be 200, like the hell with living to be 87.

00:21:12.640 I think we are more than capable to live healthy a lot longer with the current-day medical advances

00:21:18.680 and everything else.

00:21:19.880 I wanted to be a support for my wife, and I started seeing the future right at that moment.

00:21:24.900 Like, why do I really want this?

00:21:26.180 And I really dug into it.

00:21:27.400 And I said, what do I want to feel like in 90 days?

00:21:29.860 What do I want my body to feel like?

00:21:32.080 I wanted to wake up with energy.

00:21:33.400 I didn't want to have to drink a Starbucks 32-ounce cup of coffee with four shots of espresso

00:21:38.660 just to get going.

00:21:39.700 Or disguise your healthy MCT oil as bulletproof coffee, which the guys probably know how I

00:21:45.680 feel about that.

00:21:46.280 I don't know how you feel about that, but I've got my opinions.

00:21:49.000 We can save those opinions for another show.

00:21:50.720 That's right.

00:21:51.000 And then, so what does it look like?

00:21:54.380 What do I want to feel like?

00:21:56.180 And then what do I want to hear from the people closest to me?

00:21:58.440 Because that's a big motivator in our minds, gentlemen.

00:22:01.120 Like, we do a lot of stuff because of women. 1.00

00:22:04.320 We want the approval of women or our significant male partner, if you happen to be into men.

00:22:09.220 And that's okay.

00:22:10.340 We want the approval from them.

00:22:11.800 Like, what do we want to hear from that person?

00:22:14.260 Do we want to hear that, wow, your energy lately has been really inspiring to me, your ability

00:22:18.740 to be present in our conversations.

00:22:21.460 I'm just so inspired by you.

00:22:23.600 I was telling my girlfriends how easy it is to connect and how vulnerable you are as a man.

00:22:28.880 And it's just, I appreciate it.

00:22:30.040 I wish more men were out there that are like this.

00:22:32.500 And really painting the picture in your mind of what you want to look like, feel like, and

00:22:36.640 hear from the people closest to you is going to close the gap on anything that you want

00:22:42.080 to transform in your life.

00:22:43.600 It's a way of using neurolinguistic programming from a spiritual way.

00:22:48.740 And it's super, super powerful.

00:22:50.180 So I've done this with thousands of men in the transformational process.

00:22:54.420 A lot of them one-on-one in the beginning.

00:22:56.000 I used to go into people's homes, work with them one-on-one for a day or two, teach them

00:23:00.660 about their identity, show them how to juice, test their DNA, all of this stuff.

00:23:05.020 And we'd have these radical turnaround shift transformations that were life transforming

00:23:08.680 because of the why process.

00:23:10.740 That was a big one of it, really digging into it.

00:23:13.660 And with each why, asking why at least five or six more times to really get to the root.

00:23:17.920 I mean, you'd have these grown-ass men, some of them 300 plus pounds that have just packed

00:23:23.000 on so much weight, crying because they finally realized that they lost who they were, part

00:23:29.660 of their soul when they were like six years old and they were ready to reclaim it and be

00:23:34.340 that lion.

00:23:35.140 But most of them were showing up like little mice.

00:23:37.680 It was very powerful to go through this process with them.

00:23:41.020 Doing the why, if you're listening to this, is going to change your life.

00:23:44.280 Life, living from a why versus a do, you know, we're human beings.

00:23:49.060 Once you can nail the being part, I think your whole life just gets so much better.

00:23:53.020 And you've demonstrated that with your transformation, Ryan.

00:23:56.260 Yeah.

00:23:56.360 I mean, this is really interesting because I know there's a lot of guys who are listening

00:23:59.140 and I know I was one of these guys who felt like there was something more.

00:24:02.660 Life has got to be more.

00:24:03.640 Life has got to be better.

00:24:04.760 I'm not living the way I'm supposed to.

00:24:06.300 And yet I couldn't fully wrap my head around what that actually looked like.

00:24:09.420 So a lot of the things that you're talking about today with the why identity and the

00:24:13.500 mindset stuff and thinking about these things is really going to start, I think, in a way,

00:24:18.540 start to pin down what the problem has been all of these years, potentially decades in

00:24:24.060 your life.

00:24:25.700 Absolutely.

00:24:26.800 We're all living our own life, but is it really our own or is it a life that is what our parents

00:24:35.420 wanted us to do?

00:24:36.280 Maybe a girlfriend that we dated in the past, maybe we're living part of our life because

00:24:40.160 she put on these limitations on us or whatever.

00:24:43.020 So there's a lot of inauthentic ways of being that people have picked up over the years and

00:24:48.180 they just seem to be living it out like the movie Groundhog's Day, you know, with Bill

00:24:51.980 Murray over and over and over again.

00:24:54.180 It's a different day, but not different results and not a different life, truly.

00:24:59.260 So the goal is to shed all of that and go through your own journey.

00:25:02.840 And that's kind of what we're most excited about over here at FitLife and Organifi.

00:25:08.420 Gentlemen, you've heard me talk about our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council, over

00:25:12.360 and over again today, but you're not going to hear it from me today.

00:25:14.540 You're going to hear straight from one of our members, Mr. Mike Green.

00:25:18.200 My name is Mike Green and I'm from Southern Utah.

00:25:21.400 At 40 years old, it was time.

00:25:23.980 It was time for me to stop making excuses, stop waiting for things to happen and start making

00:25:30.560 things happen. As a father, a husband, and a business owner, I owed it to myself to be the

00:25:36.920 best kind of person possible. After searching for the right solution for many years, I found what

00:25:43.420 I was missing, accountability. What I needed was a band of brothers that I could relate to,

00:25:49.880 that I could check in with multiple times per day. I needed the Iron Council. From the daily

00:25:55.640 conversations to the weekly battle team calls, the Iron Council has filled the gaps in my life,

00:26:00.860 both professionally and personally. Now, I know I've got a long way to go in my personal journey

00:26:06.080 in life, but the Iron Council has played a significant role into my development as a man

00:26:11.760 and helped me become the man I need to be.

00:26:15.040 Guys, if you are ready to band with us and take charge of your life, I invite you to join us at

00:26:21.260 orderofman.com slash Iron Council. Again, that's orderofman.com slash Iron Council. You can see

00:26:26.800 how powerful this brotherhood really is. With that said, let's get back to the conversation with

00:26:31.820 Drew. I'm really interested about the structures and the systems that you've put in place because

00:26:37.840 now we're talking about, we've got this why and we're gaining a hold of who we are. And now it's

00:26:43.000 how do we tactically implement some of this stuff and what does our day actually look like in order to

00:26:48.500 facilitate this growth that we're after? What are some of the things that you do, whether that's in

00:26:51.940 the morning or at the end of the day that might help these guys?

00:26:55.160 I'm big into rituals. I'm also a promoter. I'm really good at sales. I'm good at inspiring people.

00:27:01.940 So it's important for promoter people like me and like you, Ryan, because you're the same,

00:27:06.480 like you want to get this message out here to have rituals that ground us. And it's important for men

00:27:11.680 in general to have things in our life that ground us into our manhood, that ground us into

00:27:16.880 new ways of being that can help other people and inspire others. My morning ritual is probably

00:27:23.480 the biggest fundamental ritual that I have that I do every single day that has absolutely transformed

00:27:29.060 my life. Waking up in the morning and instead of just jumping on my cell phone, checking email,

00:27:35.320 I don't do any of that. What I do is I do something called cooking in my bed. I shake off. I touch every

00:27:41.780 side of my body just so that I get the feeling in my body to start to rev up. I want to feel my toes,

00:27:47.660 my fingers, my hands. And that brings me immediately into the present moment. And it also

00:27:52.520 sends a bunch of those happy chemicals because human beings love touch. I don't know what your

00:27:57.680 love language is, but touch is like one of my biggest ones. Most men is touch, by the way.

00:28:01.560 Yeah, that makes sense.

00:28:02.760 So I do this thing where I do that and then I get grateful for five, 10 minutes.

00:28:06.840 And then I get up, I have a giant 32 ounces of warm water with lemon. I put cayenne pepper in it.

00:28:14.880 I put a little apple cider vinegar in it. And I put a little sea salt or pink sea salt

00:28:19.220 in my water and I drink that first thing. Now that does a lot. I call it super hydrating myself

00:28:25.400 first thing in the morning because when we're sleeping for eight to 10 hours, depending on how

00:28:29.200 much we sleep or less, you're in a state of dehydration. So a lot of people aren't lacking energy.

00:28:34.600 They're actually lacking water and hydration in the body. Human beings, yeah, 75 to 80% water is

00:28:40.900 human beings. It's meat suit that we're carrying around. So that's key. And also the apple cider

00:28:45.900 vinegar helps clear mucus, helps get rid of sugar in the bloodstream, helps incinerate fat,

00:28:51.740 likened to what the cayenne pepper does as well. The sea salt has over 80 trace minerals. I could talk

00:28:57.500 all day about this, you know, one drink that I do every morning. So I do that drink and then I go to

00:29:02.320 the gym in a fasted state. I work out, I usually do one or two different muscle groups daily,

00:29:08.180 six days a week. I spend about an hour, hour and a half in the gym because I love it. It's like

00:29:12.460 meditation to me. Sure. When you find something that you love, you just continuously do it.

00:29:17.240 Right. And time goes fast and it's not a big thing. Exactly. Yep. Yep. So then I'll read before

00:29:22.200 going to the gym for about 45 minutes or I'll read afterwards. What do you read?

00:29:25.800 I read a lot of personal development books, spiritual books, things that kind of force me

00:29:31.800 to think bigger about my life, like get outside of the pettiness and start thinking about new ways of

00:29:39.200 being around global change. I read a lot of Wayne Dyer stuff, Marianne Williamson, like the book

00:29:45.620 Kybalion, which is ancient hermetic principles from like ancient Egypt. Interesting. Okay.

00:29:50.360 I read a lot of ancient healing texts, like hypocrisies. How did he do a lot of the stuff that he was doing

00:29:55.100 back in the day? I feel very called to books that kind of have like cosmic consciousness.

00:30:00.840 Interesting. Yeah. Which is fun for me, right?

00:30:02.740 Yeah. Because I don't know that I've read a lot of books like that. So I'd be really curious about

00:30:05.720 some of those. So maybe we'll talk offline and then I'll share that with some of the guys.

00:30:09.360 Yeah. I had a mentor. He used to own Dollar Rent-A-Car and he was one of my first men's mentors a long

00:30:14.380 time ago. And he handed me this book by Stuart Wilde and it was called The Force. And after I read that

00:30:19.580 book, I'm like, holy shit. We're literally every single person on this planet is a freaking wizard. 1.00

00:30:23.860 Don't even realize it. So those are the books I like to read. Okay. There's a lot of surface level

00:30:29.520 information out there that can help you get so far in business and spirituality and relationships,

00:30:34.100 but there's also books that can literally raise the cosmic consciousness of the planet. And those

00:30:40.800 are the ones that I tend to gravitate towards. Well, I think a lot of this stuff is foundational.

00:30:44.380 So once you start gaining a hold of what you can do here with your body and your mind and your being

00:30:48.580 and all of that, then the results start to take care of themselves in a lot of ways.

00:30:52.000 Yeah, exactly. And it's a ripple effect. It just compounds on one result after another. It keeps

00:30:57.740 getting easier and easier, men. If you're in your early 20s and you're listening to this,

00:31:02.240 you're going to be grateful to hear that a guy that's 36 throughout time, when you're living in

00:31:06.620 your vision and your why and you're actually making a difference in people's lives, it just gets so

00:31:11.220 radically easier than what you're going through right now. So dust yourself off, pat yourself on the

00:31:17.080 back and know that the ride ahead of you is going to be freaking epic. That's awesome. All right. So

00:31:21.320 you read and then I may have cut you off. Did you have more to that? Yeah. So I read, I'll do a hot

00:31:27.040 and cold shower afterwards that stimulates your lymphatic system. You go in hot and then gradually

00:31:32.380 reduce it to cold? No, no, no. I go in hot and then I instantly instantly to cold as possible.

00:31:38.960 I'm in the works of trying to get a cold plunge. I have a sauna at the house, so I'll jump back and

00:31:43.300 forth between the cold plunge and the sauna, but right now the shower has to work. So I'm using

00:31:47.280 the shower. I love it. After that, I have what's called a MyoBuddy and I use the MyoBuddy on my body

00:31:53.860 to move the lymphatic system even more. It kind of looks like a power washer for a car, but you use

00:32:01.000 it on your body. My buddy, Ben Greenfield. Do you know Ben? Ben's been on the show before.

00:32:05.020 Yeah. Ben brought his- What you're talking about sounds a lot like Ben, so this makes sense.

00:32:08.860 Yeah. So I use this little MyoBuddy thing I bought from him. After that, make a thank you list.

00:32:15.960 And then I'll usually write a card to one person or send an email to one person that I just want

00:32:21.240 to acknowledge because I think so many people are just lacking acknowledgement.

00:32:25.400 Yes, I agree.

00:32:26.800 So by focusing out in that way every morning, it's amazing what that does energetically for you

00:32:33.620 and then also the other person. So I do that and then I'm ready to start my day.

00:32:39.020 So every single morning, it's a set of things that I do to set myself up.

00:32:43.720 So I've talked about my morning routines before and one of the questions I get quite a bit is

00:32:47.340 how long does that take you? So I'm curious for you, what does that morning routine look like

00:32:50.940 in terms of length?

00:32:52.180 So it takes about two and a half to three hours generally.

00:32:54.780 Yeah, it makes sense.

00:32:55.360 I usually go to bed around 8.30, 9 o'clock and I'm up at 4, 4.30 is like my prime time,

00:33:01.340 I would say. I'm a lion chronotype though. So historically, I've been the guy that like

00:33:06.920 wakes up and that's when I have my most energy. And then around 6, 7 o'clock at night, I'm just

00:33:12.040 winding down.

00:33:12.940 Explain the, you said lion chronotype. I'm not familiar with that. Explain that.

00:33:16.080 Yeah. So everybody has a chronotype of how they thrive throughout the day. You got the lion,

00:33:20.640 the bear, the dolphin and the wolf.

00:33:22.380 Interesting. Okay.

00:33:23.000 And that really tells you how energetically your body's set up for the day.

00:33:28.280 So likened to the lion, the bear can wake up with energy. The bear goes longer, but not quite as

00:33:35.560 intense. Lions are generally entrepreneurs, business owners, people that want to improve

00:33:39.940 their life like dramatically. Probably most people listening to this are actually lions.

00:33:44.080 If I had to guess.

00:33:45.420 Yeah, I can see how that would be the case. That makes sense.

00:33:47.860 Because they're men that are wanting more in their life and that's a lion trait.

00:33:51.980 Anytime you're out there, you know, it's the sheep you got to watch out for. Sheep will go to

00:33:56.660 the slaughterhouse without a leader, but the lion goes off and does its own thing.

00:34:02.620 Eats what he kills, all of that kind of stuff.

00:34:04.520 Yeah, I get this.

00:34:06.160 One of the things that you mentioned before we hit the record button here on this conversation

00:34:09.800 was that you've, I don't think that you've moved, but you've evolved and grown and tried

00:34:14.160 new things. And one of the things you said was going from a green type smoothie to a red type

00:34:19.180 smoothie other than the color. Can you help me understand the difference?

00:34:22.480 Yeah. So Organifi is a superfood company. I started three years ago with Jamel, my COO,

00:34:28.420 and the rest of the amazing team here in Little Italy, San Diego. We have like 72 or 73 employees

00:34:33.760 now. It's crazy.

00:34:34.400 Awesome.

00:34:35.360 So in three years, we've grown this company based on a heart-centered movement of FitLife TV

00:34:41.320 to impact and inspire change in a billion people's lives all over the country. Uniting the world through

00:34:46.840 health and happiness is the core mission statement. So we've developed a product three

00:34:51.680 years ago called Organifi Green Juice. And it's this amazing tasting green juice. It kind of tastes

00:34:58.360 like a mint latte almost, but it's got the seaweed in it. It's got chlorella, spirulina, ashwagandha,

00:35:04.720 which lowers stress, increases testosterone in men. It helps with mental clarity. It calms the nervous

00:35:11.960 system down. It's just incredible, this green juice that we had. And recently, last month, we launched

00:35:18.200 our first ever red juice, which is beet, which is great for nitric oxide production. As men, when we're

00:35:24.320 aging, our nitric oxide levels go down. It has a little bit of rhodiola in it as well, which is an adaptogen

00:35:31.280 lichen to ashwagandha, but it actually increases energy. So it's more of an energy anti-aging drink.

00:35:38.660 The other one, the green juice is more of a detoxifying mental clarity drink that I use it

00:35:44.300 for. So I'll drink the red in the morning. I've replaced most of the coffee that I drink now.

00:35:48.720 And then I drink green in the afternoon and it's the perfect day. So those are our two superfood

00:35:54.140 drinks that we have for Organifi. And then we have protein and some other stuff as well.

00:35:58.800 I mean, it's insane how fast the company has grown. And it's based on that identity that we talked about

00:36:04.500 in the very beginning. Like, what did we want to hear from our clients? And we started writing,

00:36:08.760 I started writing emails to myself from satisfied customers a year before we even launched our first

00:36:13.960 product.

00:36:14.400 That you would write as a satisfied customer. Is that right?

00:36:17.620 Yes. And I put them on the wall. Like, dear Drew, thank you so much. You helped me with my

00:36:22.220 thyroid issues. My metabolism feels great. Again, my skin looks amazing. Thank you for creating

00:36:26.980 Organifi green juice. And then other ones, you know, the protein, I've lost 40 pounds drinking just

00:36:33.120 one protein shake a day. And it's crazy. It's almost like scripting your future. And when you

00:36:38.420 start to actively script your future, like what will come in your life experience because of that

00:36:43.260 is game changing.

00:36:44.880 What do you say to the guy who hears something like that? And I know this was me for a while,

00:36:48.500 but I've read a lot and surrounded myself enough to know that this actually works.

00:36:52.520 One of the books I recommend all the time is As a Man Thinketh. I don't know if you've read that,

00:36:56.120 but great book.

00:36:56.880 Of course. Yeah. James Allen.

00:36:58.060 That's right. Yeah. And so what do you say to the guy who's like, oh, this sounds woo woo,

00:37:01.700 or this doesn't work, or you can't just like will things into existence? What do you say to that

00:37:06.320 person? Yeah. It's not like you can literally sit down and think something to appear in front of you.

00:37:11.920 There's actually the law of attraction and there's the law of attention and attention breeds action.

00:37:20.220 So literally attraction, attention, action. So if you can set up proper systems in place and a goal

00:37:27.980 and a vision and identity big enough to put it out there and your attention is on that day in and day

00:37:33.980 out, you'll start to attract what it is that you really want in your life. But to accelerate it,

00:37:40.260 and the big kicker here is if you want to 10x your results, you have to take radical action. 1.00

00:37:45.180 You have to bust your ass. When most people are sleeping or going out on the weekends and having 0.99

00:37:50.040 fun with their friends, you have to be committed to your goals. And sometimes commitment looks like

00:37:55.020 being the lone lion out on the range, going after the gazelle when all the other gazelles are just

00:38:01.440 chilling out, having fun. You really get to step into manhood and your own personal power and know

00:38:07.360 that whatever you want to create can be created. Like literally I'm talking right now, I feel like

00:38:11.500 I'm talking to my old self on this. So if you're listening to this and this is resonating with you,

00:38:15.780 it's because I'm having one of those moments, like an out of body moment when I'm talking to my

00:38:19.160 younger Drew. You can literally create anything in your life that you put your vision, your attention

00:38:25.220 on long enough. And if you have the action and the tenacity to go after and get it, you will

00:38:30.660 shock yourself. You're going to pinch yourself in the face five years from now and be like,

00:38:35.000 holy shit, that podcast I listened to, this weird woo-woo guy that was talking about scripting 0.97

00:38:39.260 stuff with Ryan on the greatest podcast ever, The Order of Man. That's right. 0.99

00:38:43.200 Changed my life. And now I have this company, this wife, because I really stopped believing that

00:38:48.580 everything was woo-woo and I started living from a different plane of existence. And now it's

00:38:52.880 freaking incredible what I'm creating because it's that powerful.

00:38:56.580 Yeah, I dig this stuff. I dig your energy too. And I've taken a ton of notes. I know a lot of

00:39:00.160 this stuff will definitely apply to me. And like I said, I got to go through these notes and figure

00:39:04.340 out how I'm going to change and how I'm going to evolve over time as well. So, hey, Drew, we're

00:39:07.900 winding down on time. I do want to ask you, I did prep you for this question. I think you even came

00:39:11.480 prepared. And I got to tell you, I appreciate your level of preparation, which I've noticed throughout this

00:39:15.520 interview as well. And that question is, what does it mean to be a man?

00:39:19.380 So, I'm trying to think of this poem. It's a long poem, but I want to give it to your listeners.

00:39:24.220 I believe it's by Ruby Ruggerd and it was written in 1886 and it's called If. Have you ever heard

00:39:29.620 this?

00:39:30.000 Yes. 1.00

00:39:30.560 Holy shit, dude. 1.00

00:39:31.160 Richard Kipling. 0.99

00:39:32.120 That's who it is.

00:39:32.780 Yes, okay.

00:39:33.420 It's called If. And that's what it means to be a man to me. And just to highlight some of it,

00:39:38.340 it's like when you are fully embracing your manhood. And there's another one called The Man

00:39:44.120 and the Glass that I love this other poem. And it's all about manhood as well. But when you can

00:39:48.540 look in the mirror and you can be best friends with the man staring back from the glass and not

00:39:54.240 worry what the world thinks. And you're able to walk with kings and peasants just the same.

00:39:59.160 Or you're able to put all your money. And he says this, obviously, it's in the 1800s.

00:40:05.280 He's like, when you can put all the money that you've made on a game of turn and toss,

00:40:09.140 which I'm guessing it's like blackjack or something like that, that we would have today.

00:40:12.320 Lose it and then speak not a word of it. When you're just so humbled by the human experience

00:40:18.980 in every single moment and you look at each person as if they are part of this divine masterpiece,

00:40:24.020 it's not separate from you, but a part of you. When you can live from that space as a carrier of the

00:40:30.780 torch that we call humanity, I think that's truly what it means to be a man. And that's what I'm shooting

00:40:36.220 for every day in a very humble way, in a way that I'm no different from anybody listening to

00:40:42.120 this. We're all the same. And it's a great responsibility to rise up that divine masculinity

00:40:48.480 that we're creating. And that's why I love this podcast so much because the divine feminine is

00:40:53.100 growing. I mean, there's feminine powers taking off all this other stuff. And now it's our time 0.94

00:40:58.080 to rise as men and hold space for the divine feminine as well. And we need more strong men,

00:41:04.240 period. It's unacceptable, dude, that you didn't have a male role model figure growing up as a kid.

00:41:09.560 It's unacceptable that I was abused, tortured, all this other stuff. But we're doing the best

00:41:14.800 that we know how to do with it. And it's made us better men because of it. Because now look at what

00:41:20.020 we get to create in the world. We get to be leaders of men and help them come into their full power as

00:41:25.680 well. I love it, man. I love your energy. I love your enthusiasm. It's a great answer. We'll make sure

00:41:29.980 we make that poem available too, because it is one of my favorites as well. And I probably ought to

00:41:33.980 memorize it. I think I will. You heard that here first. I'm going to memorize that poem,

00:41:38.280 then I'll share it and recite it with you guys. But I'll link it up in the meantime.

00:41:41.620 Dude, I'll be on a race to memorize it with you.

00:41:44.220 I'm in.

00:41:44.940 Yeah, I have it pulled up in front of me. There's also a video. It's called Rage Against

00:41:49.480 the Dying of the Light.

00:41:50.900 Oh, I've heard of this.

00:41:52.280 I'll send it to you because it's got all three poems in it. The Man in the Glass,

00:41:56.080 Rage Against the Dying of the Light, and this one by Rudyard Kipling. It's got like

00:41:59.840 Transformer music or something. So it's epic nerdy man music, right? We go to watch superhero

00:42:04.620 movies at the theater, and it's laced with this old British guy's voice. And I feel like he's just

00:42:11.060 preparing Batman to go out in the prowler in the streets and just start slaying it.

00:42:16.220 We'll see if we can link that one up too. Drew, man, I appreciate you. Again,

00:42:19.400 appreciate your energy and who you are, how you're showing up. It's powerful. And I know you're

00:42:23.100 impacting millions and millions of men across the planet. And I want to let you know I respect you for

00:42:38.580 You just, you become 10 times more alpha with the beard. I get it.
