Rebecca Griffith, the EDDPT is live.

00:00:07.453 --> 00:00:08.692
Happy Monday morning to you.

00:00:08.733 --> 00:00:09.093
How are you doing?

00:00:09.114 --> 00:00:09.614
Good morning.

00:00:09.634 --> 00:00:11.474
I'm okay.

00:00:11.494 --> 00:00:12.394
The state of New York

00:00:12.435 --> 00:00:13.795
Department of Public Works

00:00:14.316 --> 00:00:15.756
or whoever's in charge of

00:00:15.797 --> 00:00:18.178
like putting the words on

00:00:18.198 --> 00:00:21.179
the electronic road signs on highways.

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:22.280
Yeah.

00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:23.041
They understood the

00:00:23.060 --> 00:00:24.060
assignment yesterday

00:00:25.001 --> 00:00:26.242
because I was driving on

00:00:26.262 --> 00:00:28.783
the interstate and it said, slow down,

00:00:28.803 --> 00:00:30.745
you must arrive safely, you will.

00:00:31.586 --> 00:00:32.746
which is a gigantic nod

00:00:32.767 --> 00:00:33.747
yesterday being made the

00:00:33.807 --> 00:00:35.768
fourth with being a play on

00:00:35.807 --> 00:00:38.389
words of may the fourth be with you,

00:00:38.429 --> 00:00:39.909
which is of course a nod to star Wars.

00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:40.909
May the force be with you.

00:00:41.429 --> 00:00:42.911
So I'm driving for ninety

00:00:42.951 --> 00:00:43.631
minutes yesterday and I

00:00:43.670 --> 00:00:45.350
think we have to turn this

00:00:45.371 --> 00:00:46.811
into some sort of episode

00:00:46.911 --> 00:00:48.051
or some sort of lessons to

00:00:48.091 --> 00:00:49.872
learn because star Wars is

00:00:49.953 --> 00:00:51.173
chalk on chock full of

00:00:51.192 --> 00:00:53.393
philosophy and lessons and

00:00:53.433 --> 00:00:54.993
you've only fallen asleep

00:00:55.033 --> 00:00:56.695
during one of the movies and

00:00:56.845 --> 00:00:57.906
Yeah, I'm telling you,

00:00:57.926 --> 00:00:58.868
my role here is skeptic.

00:01:01.109 --> 00:01:02.371
You got the wrong Griffith, right?

00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:03.572
Every Griffith in this house

00:01:03.612 --> 00:01:05.153
is a huge Star Wars fan except for me.

00:01:05.173 --> 00:01:05.914
So I did prepare.

00:01:06.894 --> 00:01:08.156
I talked to my resources.

00:01:08.275 --> 00:01:09.576
I talked to my thirteen and

00:01:09.617 --> 00:01:11.478
fifteen year old and I'm ready to go.

00:01:11.918 --> 00:01:13.820
Like, I get it.

00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:14.781
I think we're talking to the

00:01:14.822 --> 00:01:15.501
right Griffith because I'm

00:01:15.522 --> 00:01:17.743
going to turn you over away

00:01:17.784 --> 00:01:20.887
from the dark side towards the light.

00:01:21.308 --> 00:01:21.487
Well,

00:01:21.647 --> 00:01:24.368
I have read probably eight million

00:01:24.549 --> 00:01:26.250
Star Wars kids books to my kids.

00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:28.831
So like I do have some

00:01:28.870 --> 00:01:30.350
concept of what's going on.

00:01:31.111 --> 00:01:32.171
But anytime somebody says

00:01:32.212 --> 00:01:33.691
May the Fourth be with you,

00:01:33.871 --> 00:01:35.653
I always want to say and also with you,

00:01:35.673 --> 00:01:36.993
because like I was raised Methodist.

00:01:37.433 --> 00:01:39.254
So I just now that I've said that,

00:01:39.313 --> 00:01:40.775
I feel complete and like we can move on.

00:01:41.234 --> 00:01:41.816
Yeah, we're fine.

00:01:41.936 --> 00:01:42.115
All right.

00:01:42.215 --> 00:01:43.296
I do want to shout this out

00:01:44.277 --> 00:01:45.378
because some people do ask

00:01:45.418 --> 00:01:46.299
us this in the background.

00:01:46.358 --> 00:01:47.700
But if you're looking to

00:01:47.739 --> 00:01:49.361
start your own podcast,

00:01:49.501 --> 00:01:50.441
this episode is brought to

00:01:50.462 --> 00:01:51.783
you by PT Pinecast Media.

00:01:52.203 --> 00:01:52.864
If you ever thought about

00:01:52.884 --> 00:01:54.385
launching a podcast to grow your brand,

00:01:54.405 --> 00:01:55.245
your clinic, your business,

00:01:55.725 --> 00:01:56.445
we can help now.

00:01:56.787 --> 00:01:57.126
Rebecca,

00:01:57.287 --> 00:01:58.947
we have a whole team of people now

00:01:59.349 --> 00:02:01.489
to bring other people's podcasts to life.

00:02:01.569 --> 00:02:02.031
Isn't this great?

00:02:03.490 --> 00:02:03.971
It's amazing.

00:02:04.552 --> 00:02:05.052
It's amazing.

00:02:05.072 --> 00:02:07.492
Just DM me on LinkedIn or

00:02:07.572 --> 00:02:08.173
just send me an email,

00:02:08.212 --> 00:02:09.212
jimmyatptpodcast.com,

00:02:09.233 --> 00:02:10.973
and let's get your voice

00:02:11.212 --> 00:02:11.973
out into the world.

00:02:12.294 --> 00:02:13.454
So you do know who the tiny

00:02:13.493 --> 00:02:14.473
green person is.

00:02:14.493 --> 00:02:14.554
Yes.

00:02:15.715 --> 00:02:16.594
And I'm not talking about

00:02:16.794 --> 00:02:18.314
the tinier green person.

00:02:18.335 --> 00:02:18.875
I'm talking about the

00:02:18.914 --> 00:02:20.656
original green person being Yoda.

00:02:21.532 --> 00:02:23.254
The OG and not Grogu,

00:02:23.675 --> 00:02:24.497
who is what everybody

00:02:24.537 --> 00:02:25.679
refers to as Baby Yoda.

00:02:26.379 --> 00:02:28.883
But Yoda once said, do or do not,

00:02:28.923 --> 00:02:29.783
there is no try.

00:02:29.804 --> 00:02:30.865
I know that one.

00:02:31.066 --> 00:02:31.627
You know that one.

00:02:31.926 --> 00:02:32.927
Another rogue smuggler

00:02:32.987 --> 00:02:34.790
didn't care what the odds were.

00:02:34.871 --> 00:02:35.891
And somewhere in between...

00:02:36.513 --> 00:02:38.554
Jedi, rebels, and even a Sith,

00:02:38.593 --> 00:02:39.854
even the bad guys or two,

00:02:40.215 --> 00:02:41.795
leave us with lessons that,

00:02:41.836 --> 00:02:43.937
believe it or not, can shape how we lead,

00:02:43.956 --> 00:02:44.257
grow,

00:02:44.296 --> 00:02:45.457
and navigate our real lives in

00:02:45.497 --> 00:02:46.139
twenty twenty five.

00:02:46.359 --> 00:02:47.699
I have actually on several

00:02:47.739 --> 00:02:49.980
forms when it asks what your religion is,

00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:51.701
I have listed Jedi as my

00:02:51.722 --> 00:02:52.521
religion because I was just

00:02:52.542 --> 00:02:54.342
too frustrated with the

00:02:54.383 --> 00:02:56.163
question and just decided to be fun.

00:02:56.664 --> 00:02:58.746
But actually, that is on the U.S.

00:02:58.786 --> 00:02:59.186
census.

00:02:59.306 --> 00:03:00.907
You can list Jedi as a

00:03:00.947 --> 00:03:02.048
religion in the United States.

00:03:02.087 --> 00:03:02.687
Did you know that?

00:03:02.707 --> 00:03:04.248
I did not know that.

00:03:04.908 --> 00:03:05.288
You can.

00:03:05.609 --> 00:03:05.929
All right,

00:03:05.949 --> 00:03:07.509
so I decided to pull out seven

00:03:07.729 --> 00:03:09.830
Star Wars quotes with

00:03:09.909 --> 00:03:12.691
real-life lessons attached today.

00:03:12.751 --> 00:03:14.431
So the first one probably is

00:03:14.471 --> 00:03:15.050
the most famous.

00:03:15.131 --> 00:03:16.110
I just alluded to it.

00:03:16.431 --> 00:03:18.132
It comes from The Empire Strikes Back.

00:03:18.592 --> 00:03:20.632
Yoda is the ultimate guide,

00:03:20.671 --> 00:03:21.712
the ultimate teacher.

00:03:22.332 --> 00:03:23.272
He teaches Luke,

00:03:23.712 --> 00:03:24.932
who's sort of the star of

00:03:25.013 --> 00:03:26.473
most of the episodes in the

00:03:26.514 --> 00:03:27.454
original trilogy.

00:03:28.334 --> 00:03:29.554
He's teaching Luke about

00:03:29.713 --> 00:03:31.335
commitment on Dagobah.

00:03:31.375 --> 00:03:34.615
All right, so Luke crashes his X-wing,

00:03:35.034 --> 00:03:36.055
looking for this guide,

00:03:36.094 --> 00:03:37.635
comes across this little green man,

00:03:38.395 --> 00:03:39.355
assumes,

00:03:39.616 --> 00:03:40.735
I don't want to spoiler alert for you,

00:03:41.116 --> 00:03:42.316
he assumes there's no way

00:03:42.336 --> 00:03:43.657
this little green man could

00:03:43.676 --> 00:03:45.356
be a wise and powerful Jedi,

00:03:45.377 --> 00:03:46.917
but turns out he actually is.

00:03:47.437 --> 00:03:50.078
So the quote is, do or do not,

00:03:50.098 --> 00:03:51.057
there is no try.

00:03:51.418 --> 00:03:52.377
You said you've heard this one,

00:03:52.418 --> 00:03:53.098
this one's famous.

00:03:53.377 --> 00:03:54.399
What does this one mean to you?

00:03:54.519 --> 00:03:55.579
There are no wrong answers

00:03:55.658 --> 00:03:56.859
in philosophy in Star Wars.

00:03:57.449 --> 00:03:57.609
Well,

00:03:57.748 --> 00:03:59.270
so what I like about this quote and

00:03:59.310 --> 00:04:00.850
how I would apply it,

00:04:00.911 --> 00:04:01.951
and you can tell me if I'm wrong,

00:04:02.032 --> 00:04:03.913
is that you can't just like

00:04:06.134 --> 00:04:06.794
wait for something to

00:04:06.814 --> 00:04:09.437
happen or talk about trying,

00:04:09.456 --> 00:04:10.818
like you have to just do the thing.

00:04:10.918 --> 00:04:12.479
And so there are days where I'm like,

00:04:12.538 --> 00:04:13.479
I don't think I can do this.

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:14.699
This doesn't feel like,

00:04:15.219 --> 00:04:15.800
like I was giving a

00:04:15.841 --> 00:04:17.021
presentation this last week.

00:04:17.850 --> 00:04:19.572
with a bunch of vestibular specialists.

00:04:19.952 --> 00:04:20.353
And I'm like,

00:04:20.533 --> 00:04:21.975
I'm not a vestibular specialist.

00:04:22.036 --> 00:04:23.658
I can't do this, but I'm gonna try.

00:04:23.737 --> 00:04:24.358
And then I was like, no,

00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:25.199
I'm gonna do this.

00:04:25.220 --> 00:04:26.601
Like I can actually do this.

00:04:26.701 --> 00:04:27.702
And there's a voice that I

00:04:27.744 --> 00:04:29.004
can provide here in this space.

00:04:29.446 --> 00:04:30.507
So I think like just

00:04:30.547 --> 00:04:32.911
committing to it and going forward.

00:04:33.927 --> 00:04:34.348
I love it.

00:04:34.387 --> 00:04:34.708
Yes.

00:04:34.988 --> 00:04:35.428
Agree.

00:04:35.509 --> 00:04:37.310
Again, no wrong answers.

00:04:37.430 --> 00:04:38.410
Practical takeaway.

00:04:39.011 --> 00:04:40.031
I think this is in twenty

00:04:40.050 --> 00:04:41.331
twenty five about going all in.

00:04:41.732 --> 00:04:43.252
Half effort is an effort.

00:04:43.892 --> 00:04:45.213
You don't get to round up

00:04:45.314 --> 00:04:46.675
effort to a completed task.

00:04:47.014 --> 00:04:48.175
So if you replace I'll try

00:04:48.214 --> 00:04:50.716
with I will set clear goals, make a plan,

00:04:50.737 --> 00:04:51.377
take action.

00:04:51.916 --> 00:04:52.257
You know,

00:04:52.517 --> 00:04:54.579
Richard Branson didn't try to

00:04:54.619 --> 00:04:56.238
launch Virgin Atlantic or

00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:57.360
any of his companies.

00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:58.360
He just was like,

00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.242
I'm brash enough to do it.

00:05:00.382 --> 00:05:01.622
And you have to you sort of

00:05:01.682 --> 00:05:02.543
have to go all in.

00:05:03.442 --> 00:05:04.764
a little bit you know sort

00:05:04.783 --> 00:05:06.343
of rounds down do or do not

00:05:06.744 --> 00:05:08.964
is a mindset shift and that

00:05:09.004 --> 00:05:11.646
shift fuels real progress a

00:05:11.665 --> 00:05:12.706
lot of people are thinking

00:05:12.725 --> 00:05:13.685
about they're in the

00:05:13.745 --> 00:05:15.466
planning stages they're in

00:05:15.487 --> 00:05:16.507
that run-up you ever like

00:05:16.547 --> 00:05:17.406
jump into a pool or

00:05:17.447 --> 00:05:18.127
something and you do those

00:05:18.168 --> 00:05:19.247
stutter steps to sort of

00:05:19.307 --> 00:05:21.548
time yeah you can take off

00:05:21.569 --> 00:05:24.048
from the edge I feel like I

00:05:24.189 --> 00:05:25.209
understand this to be true

00:05:26.009 --> 00:05:27.170
Because I've been guilty of this,

00:05:27.730 --> 00:05:29.692
of saying like, I think, I will,

00:05:29.791 --> 00:05:31.033
eventually I'll put it on my plate.

00:05:31.392 --> 00:05:32.392
If you're not going to do it,

00:05:32.512 --> 00:05:33.173
don't talk about it.

00:05:33.494 --> 00:05:36.274
Do or do not, there is no try.

00:05:36.454 --> 00:05:37.396
So I think we start off with

00:05:37.415 --> 00:05:38.216
a pretty good quote there

00:05:38.255 --> 00:05:39.476
from the little green guy, Yoda.

00:05:39.877 --> 00:05:41.177
I think it's good for our patients too.

00:05:41.437 --> 00:05:42.778
Like I need you all in on

00:05:42.798 --> 00:05:44.019
your recovery and we'll be

00:05:44.119 --> 00:05:45.000
all in on it together.

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:46.161
But then my question for you

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.341
is who's your PT Yoda?

00:05:47.380 --> 00:05:48.541
Oh yeah.

00:05:48.601 --> 00:05:48.841
Yeah.

00:05:50.201 --> 00:05:51.987
Who's my PT Yoda personally?

00:05:52.427 --> 00:05:53.189
If you were going to say a

00:05:53.230 --> 00:05:54.173
physical therapist in your

00:05:54.192 --> 00:05:55.896
life was your PT Yoda, who would it be?

00:05:56.454 --> 00:05:57.214
Oh, Skye Donovan.

00:05:57.254 --> 00:06:00.276
She was my original Yoda from PT school.

00:06:00.357 --> 00:06:01.619
And that's the cool thing, right?

00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:02.819
You don't have to know.

00:06:03.779 --> 00:06:05.021
I know Skye Donovan in real life.

00:06:05.062 --> 00:06:05.562
I don't want to brag,

00:06:05.601 --> 00:06:06.242
but I know her in real life.

00:06:06.942 --> 00:06:07.603
But you don't have to.

00:06:07.644 --> 00:06:09.204
It could be sort of a disembodied voice.

00:06:09.565 --> 00:06:11.286
People use the Bible or the

00:06:11.307 --> 00:06:12.567
Koran or any religious

00:06:12.588 --> 00:06:13.588
books as those things, right?

00:06:14.189 --> 00:06:16.411
Wasn't Jesus the original Yoda?

00:06:16.672 --> 00:06:18.153
Had a bunch of disciples or whatever.

00:06:18.512 --> 00:06:19.434
So I think you can look at

00:06:19.454 --> 00:06:20.035
this as anything.

00:06:20.095 --> 00:06:21.016
It could be a real person.

00:06:21.555 --> 00:06:22.776
or they could be a person of religion,

00:06:22.815 --> 00:06:23.857
or they could be a movie.

00:06:23.916 --> 00:06:25.297
We're going through Star Wars, right?

00:06:25.336 --> 00:06:26.577
We're pretending these people were real.

00:06:27.257 --> 00:06:28.098
But I think the lessons that

00:06:28.117 --> 00:06:30.038
they were teaching is real.

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:30.639
What about you?

00:06:30.658 --> 00:06:33.279
Oh, about Lisa Van Hoose.

00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:33.420
I mean.

00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:33.879
There you go.

00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:34.379
So why?

00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:34.841
What about Lisa?

00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:37.380
Because everything she says

00:06:38.101 --> 00:06:39.882
that comes out of her mouth is a lesson,

00:06:40.221 --> 00:06:40.483
right?

00:06:40.903 --> 00:06:41.843
And even if it's not

00:06:41.882 --> 00:06:43.062
intended to be that way,

00:06:43.103 --> 00:06:43.923
I take it that way.

00:06:43.983 --> 00:06:46.824
And I always think more

00:06:46.904 --> 00:06:50.425
deeply and leave better than I came.

00:06:51.370 --> 00:06:52.394
Even when I think I'm really

00:06:52.494 --> 00:06:55.783
right about something, she's like, well,

00:06:56.704 --> 00:06:58.228
she always asks the right question,

00:06:58.249 --> 00:06:58.709
I guess.

00:06:59.454 --> 00:07:01.055
Yeah, no, I've said this before.

00:07:01.115 --> 00:07:02.154
Sky Donovan was the worst

00:07:02.254 --> 00:07:03.095
professor I ever had

00:07:03.115 --> 00:07:03.815
because I would ask her,

00:07:04.375 --> 00:07:05.415
can you tell me the answer

00:07:05.435 --> 00:07:06.177
to this question?

00:07:06.257 --> 00:07:07.857
And she'd be like, let's talk it through.

00:07:07.976 --> 00:07:09.478
And I'm like, no, I just want the answer.

00:07:09.538 --> 00:07:10.418
And she was smart enough to

00:07:10.458 --> 00:07:13.139
understand by giving me the answer,

00:07:13.158 --> 00:07:14.500
it would be stopping my growth.

00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:15.620
Instead, of course,

00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:16.901
good teachers would make you think,

00:07:16.961 --> 00:07:18.221
or why did you think that

00:07:18.261 --> 00:07:19.180
answer was wrong?

00:07:19.281 --> 00:07:20.701
Or what was your thought process?

00:07:20.742 --> 00:07:21.562
Or I could see that.

00:07:21.581 --> 00:07:22.403
Or how do you think it now?

00:07:22.502 --> 00:07:22.603
Yeah.

00:07:23.302 --> 00:07:23.502
Right.

00:07:23.562 --> 00:07:24.803
It's like it's such a trick.

00:07:24.843 --> 00:07:26.964
It's such a Jedi mind trick

00:07:27.324 --> 00:07:28.165
of what really good.

00:07:28.225 --> 00:07:29.206
That's where that's where it comes from.

00:07:29.286 --> 00:07:29.526
Right.

00:07:31.105 --> 00:07:32.466
Is like getting you to think

00:07:32.487 --> 00:07:33.187
because the purpose of

00:07:33.226 --> 00:07:33.947
really good teaching or

00:07:33.987 --> 00:07:34.968
leading is like that person

00:07:34.987 --> 00:07:35.687
is not going to be there in

00:07:35.708 --> 00:07:37.108
every context.

00:07:37.168 --> 00:07:39.170
So maybe them teaching you how to think,

00:07:39.470 --> 00:07:40.269
not what to think.

00:07:40.531 --> 00:07:41.711
I think that's probably a lesson, too,

00:07:42.350 --> 00:07:43.331
is if someone's trying to

00:07:43.351 --> 00:07:44.211
tell you what to think,

00:07:44.591 --> 00:07:45.353
probably not a good

00:07:45.612 --> 00:07:46.612
probably not a good mentor.

00:07:46.632 --> 00:07:48.973
Yeah, I think you're probably right.

00:07:49.173 --> 00:07:50.454
That's that's a guru, right?

00:07:51.069 --> 00:07:52.189
Yeah, okay.

00:07:52.649 --> 00:07:53.271
Trying to think.

00:07:53.290 --> 00:07:53.790
We'll get to it,

00:07:53.810 --> 00:07:55.572
but are there gurus in Star Wars?

00:07:55.593 --> 00:07:56.072
We'll get to it.

00:07:56.093 --> 00:07:56.372
All right,

00:07:56.853 --> 00:07:58.714
quote number two and lesson number two,

00:07:59.336 --> 00:08:01.036
a day after May the Fourth Be With You.

00:08:01.697 --> 00:08:02.718
How about this one?

00:08:02.858 --> 00:08:04.379
Are you familiar with Qui-Gon Jinn?

00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.221
No.

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:07.802
Qui-Gon Jinn was played by Liam Neeson.

00:08:08.202 --> 00:08:10.944
So this quote is,

00:08:11.264 --> 00:08:14.048
your focus determines your reality,

00:08:14.288 --> 00:08:14.887
Qui-Gon Jinn.

00:08:15.309 --> 00:08:16.649
This comes from The Phantom Menace.

00:08:16.990 --> 00:08:18.971
Qui-Gon tells Anakin-

00:08:19.814 --> 00:08:22.536
Spoiler alert, Anakin becomes Darth Vader.

00:08:22.637 --> 00:08:24.298
So it's baby Darth Vader.

00:08:25.178 --> 00:08:26.819
Qui-Gon tells Anakin how

00:08:26.961 --> 00:08:30.142
powerful focus really is.

00:08:30.583 --> 00:08:31.684
So a real life application

00:08:31.744 --> 00:08:33.605
is your focus determines your reality.

00:08:33.926 --> 00:08:35.326
In a world of noise, listen,

00:08:35.366 --> 00:08:36.508
we're doing a live stream right now.

00:08:36.827 --> 00:08:37.688
You're watching it on a

00:08:37.749 --> 00:08:39.029
social platform while

00:08:39.049 --> 00:08:40.191
you're listening to audio books.

00:08:40.431 --> 00:08:41.591
You're half doing your job

00:08:41.672 --> 00:08:42.412
or you're driving when

00:08:42.432 --> 00:08:43.212
you're listening to this is

00:08:43.273 --> 00:08:44.754
released on a podcast.

00:08:44.974 --> 00:08:46.455
In a world full of noise,

00:08:47.275 --> 00:08:50.600
Your focus is your most valuable currency.

00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.883
That's the twenty twenty five application.

00:08:53.263 --> 00:08:55.044
So you you haven't watched Phantom Menace,

00:08:55.065 --> 00:08:55.164
right?

00:08:55.184 --> 00:08:56.147
What was the one Star Wars

00:08:56.167 --> 00:08:57.008
movie that you did watch?

00:08:57.788 --> 00:08:59.049
The one with the girl in it

00:08:59.591 --> 00:09:01.273
and Luke Skywalker.

00:09:02.190 --> 00:09:03.932
Oh, like Carrie Fisher?

00:09:03.951 --> 00:09:06.192
No, no, no, like the new girl.

00:09:06.293 --> 00:09:06.793
Oh, Rey.

00:09:07.014 --> 00:09:08.335
So one of you got it.

00:09:08.355 --> 00:09:08.796
So she's badass.

00:09:08.816 --> 00:09:09.576
Yeah, right, right.

00:09:09.596 --> 00:09:11.337
My dog has that as one of

00:09:11.357 --> 00:09:12.859
her middle names because of

00:09:12.999 --> 00:09:13.620
that character.

00:09:13.899 --> 00:09:14.039
Well,

00:09:14.059 --> 00:09:16.282
you obviously embrace the force in

00:09:16.322 --> 00:09:17.102
the Griffith household.

00:09:17.423 --> 00:09:18.844
So your focus determines your reality.

00:09:19.203 --> 00:09:20.205
Even without listening to

00:09:20.245 --> 00:09:21.787
Qui-Gon Jinn or watching

00:09:21.807 --> 00:09:22.586
The Phantom Menace,

00:09:22.787 --> 00:09:24.109
how would you take this?

00:09:24.149 --> 00:09:25.028
Or what is your takeaway of

00:09:25.470 --> 00:09:26.811
your focus determines your reality?

00:09:27.235 --> 00:09:28.517
I think mindset matters.

00:09:29.197 --> 00:09:30.578
And so I talked to my kids

00:09:30.599 --> 00:09:31.519
about that a lot.

00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:32.681
Like your mindset around

00:09:32.701 --> 00:09:35.984
this matters and how you like.

00:09:36.024 --> 00:09:36.845
So one example,

00:09:36.985 --> 00:09:39.466
my son won the mile high league champion.

00:09:40.239 --> 00:09:41.240
for the sixteen hundred,

00:09:41.259 --> 00:09:42.020
the thirty three hundred,

00:09:42.041 --> 00:09:42.581
the eight hundred,

00:09:42.601 --> 00:09:43.403
the four by eight hundred

00:09:43.423 --> 00:09:44.144
this last weekend.

00:09:44.825 --> 00:09:46.187
And last year when he was

00:09:46.486 --> 00:09:47.568
really getting into varsity

00:09:47.609 --> 00:09:48.610
track and cross country,

00:09:48.629 --> 00:09:49.551
I was talking to him about

00:09:49.610 --> 00:09:50.913
his mindset right before he

00:09:50.952 --> 00:09:52.335
raced because he'd be like,

00:09:52.414 --> 00:09:53.576
I'm not going to be able to do this.

00:09:53.636 --> 00:09:54.238
I can't do this.

00:09:54.298 --> 00:09:55.779
Maybe if I get like this place,

00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.181
then maybe I'll be able to keep going.

00:09:57.902 --> 00:09:58.923
And I was like, no,

00:09:58.942 --> 00:09:59.923
like we've got to like

00:10:00.202 --> 00:10:01.283
replace those thoughts with

00:10:01.323 --> 00:10:03.345
our focus on you're prepared, you're fast,

00:10:03.365 --> 00:10:04.465
you're ready to succeed,

00:10:04.504 --> 00:10:05.946
like really focusing on

00:10:06.306 --> 00:10:07.586
that performance mindset.

00:10:07.966 --> 00:10:09.187
And I think this is part of that.

00:10:09.587 --> 00:10:11.788
And the first time I tried

00:10:11.808 --> 00:10:13.129
to do that with him, he was like,

00:10:13.730 --> 00:10:14.669
this is ridiculous.

00:10:14.690 --> 00:10:15.029
I was like,

00:10:15.190 --> 00:10:16.551
I promise all the high level

00:10:16.630 --> 00:10:17.711
athletes do this.

00:10:18.392 --> 00:10:19.812
And we made up a mantra for

00:10:19.851 --> 00:10:22.514
him to focus on until he

00:10:22.533 --> 00:10:23.313
got through that race.

00:10:23.333 --> 00:10:24.274
And that was the best race

00:10:24.313 --> 00:10:25.335
he'd had to date.

00:10:25.836 --> 00:10:27.576
And he qualified for state as a freshman,

00:10:27.836 --> 00:10:28.756
was like ready to go.

00:10:28.817 --> 00:10:30.457
He was like, it worked mom, like I did it.

00:10:30.658 --> 00:10:31.618
And so now we do this

00:10:31.677 --> 00:10:33.958
routinely and he's just crushing it.

00:10:33.979 --> 00:10:35.599
He was league MVP and he's

00:10:35.619 --> 00:10:36.320
just doing great.

00:10:36.379 --> 00:10:38.000
And so we apply that in different ways,

00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.961
whether it's like school tests,

00:10:41.041 --> 00:10:42.802
like business, all of that.

00:10:42.881 --> 00:10:44.342
Like, what is your mindset around this?

00:10:44.383 --> 00:10:45.302
How can we shift that?

00:10:46.410 --> 00:10:46.691
Love it.

00:10:46.791 --> 00:10:46.931
Yeah,

00:10:46.971 --> 00:10:48.351
it's funny that you bring up athletes

00:10:48.392 --> 00:10:49.312
because there's a very

00:10:49.331 --> 00:10:51.033
famous athlete who has used

00:10:51.052 --> 00:10:52.553
your focus to determine your reality.

00:10:52.913 --> 00:10:54.835
Michael Phelps was huge.

00:10:55.335 --> 00:10:55.554
I mean,

00:10:55.695 --> 00:10:57.015
it's probably the first time I ever

00:10:57.076 --> 00:11:00.398
heard of visualizations on that level.

00:11:00.937 --> 00:11:03.678
Michael Phelps, Olympic swimmer, champion,

00:11:04.499 --> 00:11:06.539
multiple record holder of all time,

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:08.640
used to stay laser focused.

00:11:08.922 --> 00:11:10.302
In things like running and swimming,

00:11:10.501 --> 00:11:11.822
when there isn't a ball to chase,

00:11:11.883 --> 00:11:12.722
and I know this because I

00:11:12.802 --> 00:11:13.563
am a runner and a swimmer,

00:11:14.485 --> 00:11:16.126
mediocre at best at both if

00:11:16.147 --> 00:11:16.947
you lose your focus in

00:11:16.988 --> 00:11:18.389
these things it can get

00:11:18.629 --> 00:11:20.090
real hard to continue

00:11:20.129 --> 00:11:21.850
training I mean swimming is

00:11:21.870 --> 00:11:22.731
the ultimate sport where

00:11:22.751 --> 00:11:23.392
you go from point a to

00:11:23.432 --> 00:11:25.493
point a and try to go it's

00:11:25.714 --> 00:11:26.874
like how do you stay

00:11:26.894 --> 00:11:28.414
motivated that way so you

00:11:28.434 --> 00:11:29.416
have to visualize like how

00:11:29.456 --> 00:11:30.096
these things are going to

00:11:30.115 --> 00:11:33.339
go you know I think it was

00:11:33.818 --> 00:11:34.899
a lesson somewhere I think

00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:35.840
I heard on a podcast

00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:37.100
michael phelps's coach

00:11:37.140 --> 00:11:37.881
can't remember his name but

00:11:37.902 --> 00:11:39.763
a famous swimming coach um

00:11:41.510 --> 00:11:43.331
somehow like his goggles

00:11:43.351 --> 00:11:44.692
came off at a practice race.

00:11:45.514 --> 00:11:47.095
And he like, he was like, you keep going.

00:11:47.455 --> 00:11:48.375
Because if that happens in

00:11:48.414 --> 00:11:50.035
the final heat of the, you know,

00:11:50.056 --> 00:11:50.716
a hundred butterfly,

00:11:50.736 --> 00:11:52.857
we're going to do ask for a read.

00:11:53.018 --> 00:11:54.219
There's no takes backsies.

00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.720
So you visualize what would

00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:57.441
happen in all those

00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.621
situations or how you want this to go.

00:11:59.961 --> 00:12:01.143
But if something goes sideways,

00:12:01.182 --> 00:12:02.964
if you visualize it and practiced it,

00:12:04.125 --> 00:12:05.446
you're better prepared for it.

00:12:05.826 --> 00:12:07.366
So I think Qui-Gon's advice

00:12:07.407 --> 00:12:10.028
here is pretty good.

00:12:10.048 --> 00:12:10.908
And from the Phantom Menace.

00:12:11.493 --> 00:12:11.572
Well,

00:12:11.592 --> 00:12:13.335
I think also when you have that focus,

00:12:13.355 --> 00:12:14.515
you do the work to go with it.

00:12:15.035 --> 00:12:15.395
Correct.

00:12:15.416 --> 00:12:16.716
It's not just manifesting, right?

00:12:16.857 --> 00:12:18.058
It's like, I don't know,

00:12:18.099 --> 00:12:19.620
people say giving feet to prayer.

00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:21.701
Like that's kind of what this is.

00:12:21.741 --> 00:12:22.763
Like your focus becomes your

00:12:22.783 --> 00:12:24.104
reality because you're focused on it.

00:12:24.124 --> 00:12:25.024
So you do the work that you

00:12:25.043 --> 00:12:25.884
need to do to get there.

00:12:26.365 --> 00:12:26.666
Yeah.

00:12:26.905 --> 00:12:27.125
Okay.

00:12:27.186 --> 00:12:27.846
So that's Qui-Gon.

00:12:28.047 --> 00:12:29.168
That's number two.

00:12:30.568 --> 00:12:32.451
Third quote from Star Wars.

00:12:33.171 --> 00:12:34.011
How about this one?

00:12:35.033 --> 00:12:36.333
Obi-Wan Kenobi says,

00:12:36.966 --> 00:12:38.307
says, in my experience,

00:12:38.527 --> 00:12:41.548
there's no such thing as luck.

00:12:41.668 --> 00:12:45.471
He drops this to Han Solo in A New Hope.

00:12:46.011 --> 00:12:47.211
Essentially, it's not about luck.

00:12:47.793 --> 00:12:48.712
It's about preparation.

00:12:49.273 --> 00:12:51.634
Real life application, take ownership.

00:12:52.775 --> 00:12:54.476
Success usually comes from effort,

00:12:54.517 --> 00:12:55.177
not chance.

00:12:55.797 --> 00:12:57.398
Or put in the reps, prep hard,

00:12:57.498 --> 00:12:59.480
and then you're ready when

00:12:59.580 --> 00:13:01.380
opportunity strikes.

00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:01.600
Yeah.

00:13:02.509 --> 00:13:04.390
So having never heard this

00:13:04.510 --> 00:13:06.113
one in my experience,

00:13:06.133 --> 00:13:07.174
there's no such thing as luck.

00:13:08.716 --> 00:13:09.397
How would you take this

00:13:09.437 --> 00:13:10.038
lesson or how would you

00:13:10.057 --> 00:13:12.500
teach this lesson to someone?

00:13:12.520 --> 00:13:13.542
I feel like people say

00:13:13.581 --> 00:13:14.682
things like that a lot.

00:13:14.702 --> 00:13:15.764
Like that person's just so

00:13:15.845 --> 00:13:17.145
lucky that they get to do that.

00:13:17.166 --> 00:13:18.307
They're just so lucky that

00:13:18.327 --> 00:13:19.269
they got chosen for that.

00:13:19.308 --> 00:13:20.831
He's so lucky that he won

00:13:20.850 --> 00:13:22.633
that race when in fact,

00:13:23.206 --> 00:13:24.267
There's so much preparation

00:13:24.307 --> 00:13:25.346
work that really goes on

00:13:25.366 --> 00:13:25.927
behind the scenes.

00:13:25.988 --> 00:13:26.908
There are advantages

00:13:26.927 --> 00:13:28.509
different people have for sure.

00:13:28.950 --> 00:13:30.350
And I think we can acknowledge that.

00:13:30.390 --> 00:13:31.171
But for the most part,

00:13:31.230 --> 00:13:32.491
I think luck also doesn't

00:13:32.532 --> 00:13:34.092
really exist in my life.

00:13:34.173 --> 00:13:35.394
If luck is coming around,

00:13:35.453 --> 00:13:36.494
it's usually something like

00:13:36.634 --> 00:13:37.715
I'm so lucky that I got the

00:13:37.754 --> 00:13:38.576
last Diet Coke.

00:13:38.635 --> 00:13:40.037
It's not like I'm so lucky

00:13:40.057 --> 00:13:42.097
that I got that patient or

00:13:42.138 --> 00:13:42.998
whatever the case may be,

00:13:43.018 --> 00:13:43.899
because I agree there.

00:13:44.038 --> 00:13:44.960
I don't think there is such

00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:45.480
a thing as luck.

00:13:46.174 --> 00:13:46.995
Yeah, I agree.

00:13:47.817 --> 00:13:49.398
Do you know who Jimmy Carr is?

00:13:49.458 --> 00:13:51.000
He's like a British comedian.

00:13:51.019 --> 00:13:51.980
He's a European comedian.

00:13:52.501 --> 00:13:53.142
Super funny.

00:13:53.663 --> 00:13:55.164
I mean, if you like his humor, he's sharp.

00:13:55.184 --> 00:13:56.285
Like he will mess with people.

00:13:56.765 --> 00:13:57.486
I had never heard of him

00:13:57.547 --> 00:13:58.567
until maybe a year ago when

00:13:58.628 --> 00:13:59.869
I came across one of his

00:13:59.889 --> 00:14:01.211
short form clips online.

00:14:01.490 --> 00:14:02.731
And now I see him everywhere

00:14:02.753 --> 00:14:03.754
because that's how the Internet works.

00:14:04.014 --> 00:14:05.294
He's got a great quote on this.

00:14:05.335 --> 00:14:05.514
Right.

00:14:05.554 --> 00:14:07.538
So Obi-Wan says, in my experience,

00:14:07.557 --> 00:14:08.739
there's no such thing as luck.

00:14:09.942 --> 00:14:11.143
What you sort of made me

00:14:11.182 --> 00:14:12.984
think of was Jimmy Carr's quote,

00:14:13.004 --> 00:14:14.325
who's now massively famous.

00:14:14.945 --> 00:14:15.605
He says,

00:14:16.044 --> 00:14:17.946
everyone is jealous of what you've got.

00:14:18.426 --> 00:14:20.706
No one is jealous of how you got it.

00:14:21.126 --> 00:14:23.607
Everybody sees the podium and they go,

00:14:23.648 --> 00:14:24.828
well, it was handed to him.

00:14:25.749 --> 00:14:26.928
she just got it gift wrapped

00:14:26.970 --> 00:14:28.429
for her and they weren't

00:14:28.470 --> 00:14:29.389
there at seven o'clock in

00:14:29.409 --> 00:14:30.390
the morning you know

00:14:30.431 --> 00:14:31.931
swimming laps or putting in

00:14:31.971 --> 00:14:33.251
the extra effort or going

00:14:33.272 --> 00:14:34.591
the extra mile so yeah

00:14:34.631 --> 00:14:35.572
everybody's jealous of what

00:14:35.592 --> 00:14:37.852
you got no one's jealous of

00:14:37.913 --> 00:14:40.014
how you got it so obi-wan

00:14:40.053 --> 00:14:40.975
staying with the idea of

00:14:41.095 --> 00:14:42.774
luck is that most overnight

00:14:42.815 --> 00:14:44.035
success stories are built

00:14:44.096 --> 00:14:45.096
on years of behind the

00:14:45.115 --> 00:14:46.817
scenes work when I was in radio

00:14:47.976 --> 00:14:49.278
I would ask this question

00:14:49.357 --> 00:14:50.219
live because I really,

00:14:50.278 --> 00:14:51.860
or I would say this statement, sorry,

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:52.580
not a question,

00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.201
say this statement live

00:14:54.221 --> 00:14:55.461
because I loved the honest

00:14:55.522 --> 00:14:57.524
reaction of musicians who I

00:14:57.563 --> 00:14:59.825
knew damn well were not

00:14:59.884 --> 00:15:00.826
overnight successes.

00:15:00.985 --> 00:15:02.647
But when someone's single breaks,

00:15:02.988 --> 00:15:03.668
next thing you know,

00:15:04.008 --> 00:15:04.808
everybody knows who they

00:15:04.869 --> 00:15:05.629
are and they're new.

00:15:06.029 --> 00:15:07.811
And their lucky break.

00:15:07.870 --> 00:15:08.591
And their lucky break.

00:15:09.432 --> 00:15:11.033
and so I love famously there

00:15:11.052 --> 00:15:12.013
was this band called sick

00:15:12.033 --> 00:15:13.033
puppies they had a couple

00:15:13.073 --> 00:15:14.033
of really great songs I

00:15:14.073 --> 00:15:15.054
loved a lot of their music

00:15:15.495 --> 00:15:16.875
and I had them in studio so

00:15:16.916 --> 00:15:18.495
like I had eye contact and

00:15:18.535 --> 00:15:20.037
shimon moore super

00:15:20.076 --> 00:15:22.177
charismatic lead singer um

00:15:22.758 --> 00:15:23.999
and I I said something

00:15:24.038 --> 00:15:25.200
along the lines of like

00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:26.840
shim like guys are just an

00:15:26.899 --> 00:15:28.061
overnight success like one

00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:29.381
day you're just hanging out

00:15:29.402 --> 00:15:29.961
and the next day you're

00:15:30.001 --> 00:15:31.663
success and he looks and

00:15:31.682 --> 00:15:33.163
he's about to he's giving

00:15:33.182 --> 00:15:33.984
me that reaction like he

00:15:34.024 --> 00:15:35.183
wants to be like no you

00:15:35.203 --> 00:15:36.485
don't understand it's not

00:15:36.544 --> 00:15:37.585
and I and he sees the look

00:15:37.605 --> 00:15:38.485
on my face which is like

00:15:38.926 --> 00:15:40.248
I want you to tell everybody

00:15:40.967 --> 00:15:41.908
what you're feeling now.

00:15:42.789 --> 00:15:44.832
Of course it wasn't an overnight success.

00:15:45.312 --> 00:15:46.715
And of course it wasn't luck.

00:15:47.154 --> 00:15:48.155
There was opportunity,

00:15:48.176 --> 00:15:49.157
but you were prepared for

00:15:49.236 --> 00:15:50.418
it because of this ten

00:15:50.458 --> 00:15:51.320
thousand things that you

00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.480
did before that to put

00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:53.621
yourself in that position.

00:15:53.642 --> 00:15:55.104
Absolutely.

00:15:56.513 --> 00:15:56.972
This next one,

00:15:56.993 --> 00:15:57.854
we're going to go back to the OG.

00:15:57.894 --> 00:15:59.315
We're going to go back to Yoda.

00:15:59.894 --> 00:16:02.015
Yoda warns a young Anakin in

00:16:02.035 --> 00:16:03.496
the Phantom Menace that

00:16:03.636 --> 00:16:06.879
fear breeds bad decisions.

00:16:07.099 --> 00:16:09.421
It doesn't just need to mean

00:16:09.441 --> 00:16:11.381
about battle or laser

00:16:11.402 --> 00:16:13.442
blasters or lightsabers or starships.

00:16:13.643 --> 00:16:14.264
Here's the quote.

00:16:14.703 --> 00:16:17.546
Fear is the path to the dark side.

00:16:18.225 --> 00:16:18.745
I don't know.

00:16:18.865 --> 00:16:20.586
If there was one line about

00:16:20.648 --> 00:16:22.207
good versus evil in all of

00:16:22.248 --> 00:16:23.849
the Star Wars canon...

00:16:24.909 --> 00:16:26.051
fear is the path to the dark

00:16:26.091 --> 00:16:27.491
side and it doesn't need to

00:16:27.511 --> 00:16:28.812
be mean the fear of death

00:16:29.192 --> 00:16:31.434
or destruction it could be

00:16:32.155 --> 00:16:33.356
scared to make a decision

00:16:33.956 --> 00:16:37.500
right like we are scared a

00:16:37.539 --> 00:16:39.081
lot in our lives doesn't

00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:40.182
mean like petrified to

00:16:40.201 --> 00:16:41.863
death but I feel like fear

00:16:41.883 --> 00:16:43.605
is the path to the dark side was if you

00:16:44.932 --> 00:16:46.332
If you don't shine a light on it,

00:16:46.352 --> 00:16:47.433
that's when it's the dark side.

00:16:47.553 --> 00:16:48.774
If you're fearing it,

00:16:49.375 --> 00:16:51.957
that's when it sort of grows, right?

00:16:51.977 --> 00:16:53.818
So fear is the path to the dark side,

00:16:54.099 --> 00:16:54.519
Yoda.

00:16:55.419 --> 00:16:57.221
I love the fact that you've

00:16:57.322 --> 00:16:58.423
never seen ninety nine

00:16:58.462 --> 00:16:59.182
percent of these quotes.

00:16:59.222 --> 00:17:02.745
So when I spring this on you,

00:17:02.785 --> 00:17:03.486
what comes to mind?

00:17:03.586 --> 00:17:04.907
Fear is the path to the dark side.

00:17:05.369 --> 00:17:07.191
fear avoidance behavior with

00:17:07.250 --> 00:17:08.652
movement in physical therapy,

00:17:08.711 --> 00:17:09.692
because all the patients

00:17:09.712 --> 00:17:10.173
that come into the

00:17:10.213 --> 00:17:11.634
emergency department who

00:17:11.714 --> 00:17:13.195
are in like really acute pain,

00:17:13.496 --> 00:17:14.817
they're really afraid to move.

00:17:15.457 --> 00:17:16.597
And I think one of the best

00:17:16.617 --> 00:17:17.278
things we can do as

00:17:17.298 --> 00:17:18.278
physical therapists is

00:17:18.318 --> 00:17:19.500
ameliorate that fear

00:17:19.740 --> 00:17:21.321
upfront so that they don't

00:17:21.342 --> 00:17:22.722
go down to that path of

00:17:22.843 --> 00:17:24.564
avoiding movement and

00:17:24.763 --> 00:17:26.184
staying in bed and like all

00:17:26.204 --> 00:17:26.684
of those things.

00:17:26.705 --> 00:17:27.526
So I think in this case,

00:17:27.546 --> 00:17:28.886
you could directly apply

00:17:28.906 --> 00:17:29.928
that to PT and say,

00:17:30.557 --> 00:17:31.618
you know, fear of movement,

00:17:31.679 --> 00:17:32.459
fear of doing the things

00:17:32.538 --> 00:17:34.161
you need to do is probably

00:17:34.201 --> 00:17:35.582
a path to delayed recovery.

00:17:36.082 --> 00:17:37.623
So actually I think that's great.

00:17:37.702 --> 00:17:38.824
I think that's helpful for a

00:17:38.864 --> 00:17:39.884
lot of different things.

00:17:40.464 --> 00:17:40.865
And one of,

00:17:41.025 --> 00:17:42.486
I know I'm applying this to my kids a lot,

00:17:42.526 --> 00:17:44.627
but that's what I'm thinking about.

00:17:45.509 --> 00:17:47.390
When I talk to them about they're like,

00:17:47.450 --> 00:17:49.070
I'm really scared to do this.

00:17:49.330 --> 00:17:50.672
I'm really anxious about it.

00:17:50.852 --> 00:17:51.792
I always tell them like

00:17:51.913 --> 00:17:54.375
anxiety and fear really are

00:17:54.494 --> 00:17:55.895
and excitement have like

00:17:55.935 --> 00:17:57.076
the same physiologic

00:17:57.116 --> 00:17:58.518
response in the body and

00:17:58.557 --> 00:17:59.699
the brain really decides what

00:18:00.753 --> 00:18:01.315
what it means.

00:18:01.694 --> 00:18:02.675
It decides if you're happy

00:18:02.695 --> 00:18:03.837
about it or if you're not.

00:18:04.218 --> 00:18:04.939
So if you can kind of

00:18:05.078 --> 00:18:06.380
reframe that again and go

00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:07.622
back to that mindset piece,

00:18:07.682 --> 00:18:08.583
I think that's helpful.

00:18:09.042 --> 00:18:11.105
But I love that.

00:18:11.266 --> 00:18:12.968
I think that's directly applicable to PT.

00:18:13.499 --> 00:18:14.479
Yeah, in twenty twenty five,

00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.000
fear of change, fear of failure,

00:18:17.661 --> 00:18:18.840
fear of uncertainty.

00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:20.701
All those things are going

00:18:20.721 --> 00:18:23.442
to be barriers to growth or progression.

00:18:23.803 --> 00:18:24.663
Like those fears are going

00:18:24.682 --> 00:18:25.463
to make you stop.

00:18:25.804 --> 00:18:26.663
And I've said before,

00:18:27.403 --> 00:18:28.325
I do this a lot when I'm

00:18:28.424 --> 00:18:29.065
either working with an

00:18:29.105 --> 00:18:30.025
organization or something.

00:18:30.065 --> 00:18:31.105
I'll use the phrase like I

00:18:31.205 --> 00:18:33.186
understand that you feel

00:18:33.207 --> 00:18:36.607
like not making a decision now is safer.

00:18:37.884 --> 00:18:38.785
But if you're crossing a

00:18:38.825 --> 00:18:39.664
road and then all of a

00:18:39.684 --> 00:18:41.366
sudden headlights come upon

00:18:41.406 --> 00:18:41.987
you and you're like,

00:18:42.007 --> 00:18:43.107
do I go forward or back?

00:18:43.147 --> 00:18:44.489
And you're like, let's just stand still.

00:18:45.410 --> 00:18:46.790
Indecision is a decision.

00:18:46.871 --> 00:18:48.951
You've decided not to act out of,

00:18:49.172 --> 00:18:51.554
and if it's out of fear and,

00:18:51.993 --> 00:18:54.076
and fear also can be masked

00:18:54.096 --> 00:18:55.136
a few different ways with

00:18:55.196 --> 00:18:57.258
patients or in business or like anything,

00:18:57.298 --> 00:18:58.898
sales consulting,

00:18:58.919 --> 00:19:00.721
I need more time to think.

00:19:01.977 --> 00:19:04.077
So you want time, but my question is like,

00:19:04.157 --> 00:19:04.459
why?

00:19:04.558 --> 00:19:05.719
Like what other information

00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:07.820
do you need to make this

00:19:07.861 --> 00:19:09.060
decision before you act?

00:19:09.461 --> 00:19:11.163
Well, I'm afraid of making any decision.

00:19:11.522 --> 00:19:12.703
Well, you are making a decision.

00:19:12.943 --> 00:19:13.703
I'm gonna reframe that.

00:19:13.964 --> 00:19:16.586
You have decided not to act now, right?

00:19:18.769 --> 00:19:20.209
I will also add this because

00:19:20.229 --> 00:19:21.150
this is practical advice

00:19:21.170 --> 00:19:21.990
from my dad who was a

00:19:22.049 --> 00:19:23.930
fireman um he asked me this

00:19:23.950 --> 00:19:24.890
question once he loved to

00:19:24.930 --> 00:19:25.609
ask me these questions we

00:19:25.630 --> 00:19:27.070
were on long drives and

00:19:27.211 --> 00:19:28.230
like and when you're ten

00:19:28.250 --> 00:19:28.730
you're like I don't know

00:19:28.750 --> 00:19:29.691
how to answer this dad and

00:19:29.711 --> 00:19:30.431
now looking back I'm like

00:19:30.451 --> 00:19:31.172
these were good questions

00:19:31.451 --> 00:19:33.092
his question was what's the

00:19:33.172 --> 00:19:34.771
worst thing to do in a

00:19:34.832 --> 00:19:37.053
panic situation how would

00:19:37.073 --> 00:19:37.913
you answer that what's the

00:19:38.012 --> 00:19:38.772
worst thing to do in a

00:19:38.813 --> 00:19:39.752
panic situation I don't

00:19:39.772 --> 00:19:42.193
know I guess nothing maybe

00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:44.500
his answer was or he said

00:19:44.621 --> 00:19:46.782
panic yeah we're in a panic

00:19:46.863 --> 00:19:48.304
situation so this is coming

00:19:48.324 --> 00:19:49.064
from a guy who walked into

00:19:49.104 --> 00:19:50.765
burning buildings like he

00:19:50.785 --> 00:19:52.487
was he had a rational fear

00:19:52.527 --> 00:19:53.928
of death and dying and fire

00:19:53.968 --> 00:19:54.988
and smoke and you know

00:19:55.068 --> 00:19:56.388
buildings collapsing and he

00:19:56.409 --> 00:19:57.250
said the worst thing to do

00:19:57.269 --> 00:19:58.711
in this panic situation is

00:19:58.770 --> 00:20:00.372
panic the second worst

00:20:00.392 --> 00:20:01.853
thing was nothing got it

00:20:01.873 --> 00:20:03.233
because I'm afraid I'll

00:20:03.253 --> 00:20:04.154
just I'll just stand here

00:20:04.174 --> 00:20:04.775
and wait for something to

00:20:04.815 --> 00:20:06.856
happen panic didn't seem like an option

00:20:07.175 --> 00:20:07.276
Right,

00:20:07.296 --> 00:20:09.039
because panicking is just wildly

00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:10.743
doing something just to do something.

00:20:11.645 --> 00:20:12.186
That's bad.

00:20:12.848 --> 00:20:14.311
The opposite is nothing.

00:20:15.522 --> 00:20:16.604
The answer is somewhere in the middle.

00:20:17.105 --> 00:20:18.586
And we know that, always and never.

00:20:18.885 --> 00:20:20.907
It's just stay away from this thing.

00:20:20.988 --> 00:20:21.608
That's another quote.

00:20:22.750 --> 00:20:24.531
I have to see if I don't have this.

00:20:25.613 --> 00:20:27.534
Beware of the absolutes.

00:20:28.015 --> 00:20:28.796
This isn't on the list,

00:20:28.836 --> 00:20:29.695
but this is one of the things.

00:20:29.977 --> 00:20:30.616
The Sith,

00:20:31.038 --> 00:20:32.519
who are like the evil Jedi with

00:20:32.538 --> 00:20:34.500
lightsabers, just to give you an update,

00:20:34.520 --> 00:20:35.602
they deal in absolutes.

00:20:36.142 --> 00:20:38.744
And people who follow the

00:20:38.785 --> 00:20:40.446
Force never deal in absolutes.

00:20:41.047 --> 00:20:42.107
So when you look at things

00:20:42.147 --> 00:20:43.888
on test questions, like the NPTE,

00:20:44.108 --> 00:20:45.450
if it's an always or a never,

00:20:45.730 --> 00:20:46.330
I'm not going to say it's

00:20:46.411 --> 00:20:47.352
always not that answer

00:20:47.672 --> 00:20:48.652
because that's an absolute,

00:20:48.893 --> 00:20:49.452
but I will say,

00:20:49.712 --> 00:20:51.755
look really closely at that because,

00:20:52.515 --> 00:20:55.037
because the Sith live in absolutes.

00:20:55.076 --> 00:20:55.156
Well,

00:20:55.176 --> 00:20:57.759
and physical therapists don't because

00:20:57.778 --> 00:20:58.980
it depends.

00:20:59.000 --> 00:20:59.680
Ah, look at that.

00:21:00.040 --> 00:21:01.961
Are we the ultimate healthcare provider?

00:21:02.422 --> 00:21:04.002
Do other, do other healthcare providers,

00:21:04.304 --> 00:21:06.204
do they, it depends as much as we do,

00:21:06.244 --> 00:21:06.884
or is that our thing?

00:21:06.904 --> 00:21:07.445
I think it's our thing.

00:21:07.465 --> 00:21:07.586
Like I,

00:21:09.633 --> 00:21:10.333
I don't know.

00:21:10.353 --> 00:21:11.233
I don't feel like I've ever

00:21:11.273 --> 00:21:13.174
heard a physician say to me, it depends.

00:21:15.556 --> 00:21:16.636
So they deal in absolutes.

00:21:16.757 --> 00:21:17.458
I'm not saying anything.

00:21:18.298 --> 00:21:19.259
I'm just laying out what

00:21:19.318 --> 00:21:20.598
happens in Star Wars.

00:21:20.618 --> 00:21:22.220
I didn't say anything.

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:22.800
All right.

00:21:22.861 --> 00:21:27.182
Let's go to quote number five.

00:21:27.202 --> 00:21:28.403
Quote number five from Star Wars.

00:21:29.424 --> 00:21:30.204
Here's the context.

00:21:30.384 --> 00:21:32.787
Obi-Wan tells this quote to Luke.

00:21:33.593 --> 00:21:35.733
the return of a jedi truth

00:21:35.794 --> 00:21:37.493
depends on perspective is

00:21:37.534 --> 00:21:39.634
the context and here's the

00:21:39.694 --> 00:21:41.875
here's the quote many of

00:21:41.894 --> 00:21:43.316
the truths we cling to

00:21:43.496 --> 00:21:45.536
depend greatly on our own

00:21:45.996 --> 00:21:47.457
point of view and that is

00:21:47.497 --> 00:21:49.717
from obi-wan I think the

00:21:49.777 --> 00:21:51.298
real world application as

00:21:51.357 --> 00:21:52.698
rebecca absorbs this for

00:21:52.718 --> 00:21:53.617
the very first time in her

00:21:53.657 --> 00:21:54.919
life and probably the five

00:21:54.939 --> 00:21:56.499
hundredth for me um great

00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:57.699
leaders embrace nuance and

00:21:57.858 --> 00:21:59.900
others per other people's perspectives

00:22:00.660 --> 00:22:02.780
so how can you apply this

00:22:02.921 --> 00:22:04.321
you know a long time ago in

00:22:04.342 --> 00:22:05.602
a galaxy far far away quote

00:22:06.542 --> 00:22:07.583
I would say pause and ask

00:22:07.823 --> 00:22:10.384
what's their lens empathy

00:22:10.545 --> 00:22:12.525
leads to better decisions

00:22:12.625 --> 00:22:13.885
is what obi-wan was getting

00:22:13.965 --> 00:22:15.626
at and that's sort of what you see

00:22:16.906 --> 00:22:20.428
When Obi-Wan, sorry, when Luke is, sorry,

00:22:21.167 --> 00:22:22.288
Anakin is being trained,

00:22:22.428 --> 00:22:23.528
he leads towards the dark

00:22:23.548 --> 00:22:24.328
side because he starts to

00:22:24.368 --> 00:22:25.769
go in more absolutes and

00:22:25.788 --> 00:22:26.749
more this is the way it

00:22:26.769 --> 00:22:28.548
should be because I think so.

00:22:28.628 --> 00:22:29.970
So many truths we cling to

00:22:30.269 --> 00:22:32.529
depend greatly on our own point of view.

00:22:32.549 --> 00:22:33.609
You have this look on your

00:22:33.650 --> 00:22:34.530
face that you are like

00:22:34.570 --> 00:22:36.010
deeply thinking about this.

00:22:36.030 --> 00:22:38.290
I was just like wholly

00:22:38.590 --> 00:22:39.691
pulled immediately towards

00:22:39.711 --> 00:22:40.932
United States politics.

00:22:41.692 --> 00:22:42.071
I mean...

00:22:43.604 --> 00:22:44.404
I don't even know where else

00:22:44.424 --> 00:22:45.946
to go with that that's just

00:22:46.107 --> 00:22:50.773
exactly yeah yeah I like

00:22:50.794 --> 00:22:51.575
how you just leave that

00:22:51.615 --> 00:22:53.238
there silence yeah I mean

00:22:53.258 --> 00:22:54.318
you can take from that what

00:22:54.358 --> 00:22:55.760
you want but I feel like

00:22:55.901 --> 00:22:57.564
that's a lot of where we

00:22:57.663 --> 00:22:58.765
are right now yeah

00:22:59.642 --> 00:23:01.143
And it's a scary place to be, right?

00:23:01.482 --> 00:23:02.242
Which is if we're not

00:23:02.282 --> 00:23:03.943
listening to anybody else's

00:23:04.003 --> 00:23:05.423
lens and we're just going on our own,

00:23:05.484 --> 00:23:06.525
that feels, again,

00:23:06.565 --> 00:23:07.605
going back to that quote,

00:23:08.185 --> 00:23:10.267
only a Sith deals in absolutes.

00:23:10.866 --> 00:23:12.887
It signifies your descent

00:23:12.907 --> 00:23:13.548
into the dark side.

00:23:13.587 --> 00:23:14.508
Like you're just making

00:23:15.489 --> 00:23:16.568
people want to follow you.

00:23:17.068 --> 00:23:18.509
So practical advice for many

00:23:18.549 --> 00:23:19.530
of the truths we cling to

00:23:19.651 --> 00:23:21.270
depend greatly on our own point of view.

00:23:21.770 --> 00:23:25.133
The best innovation teams thrive.

00:23:26.126 --> 00:23:28.449
on diverse point of viewpoints.

00:23:28.568 --> 00:23:29.309
They are the best.

00:23:29.710 --> 00:23:31.231
They work really well.

00:23:31.372 --> 00:23:32.932
Like this is not a shock and

00:23:32.952 --> 00:23:34.054
this is not a feeling.

00:23:34.094 --> 00:23:35.115
This has been proven.

00:23:35.976 --> 00:23:37.277
Truth is rarely absolute.

00:23:37.917 --> 00:23:38.178
Yeah.

00:23:38.238 --> 00:23:38.617
Right.

00:23:38.637 --> 00:23:40.099
Understand others to lead

00:23:40.140 --> 00:23:42.182
better as we get the lesson from Obi-Wan.

00:23:42.201 --> 00:23:43.482
All right.

00:23:43.823 --> 00:23:44.324
Quote six.

00:23:45.660 --> 00:23:46.420
This will be the last quote,

00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:47.240
but I have a bonus quote.

00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:48.161
So we're just gonna go with seven.

00:23:48.181 --> 00:23:49.601
I don't know why I said this was,

00:23:49.921 --> 00:23:51.101
so this will be number seven.

00:23:52.721 --> 00:23:54.521
This is from Rogue One.

00:23:54.862 --> 00:23:56.362
And that's, so that's not like part,

00:23:56.422 --> 00:23:57.642
it's in the Star Wars universe,

00:23:57.662 --> 00:23:59.002
but it's not part of like the official,

00:23:59.022 --> 00:24:00.682
it's like a side journey,

00:24:00.722 --> 00:24:01.462
but an important one

00:24:01.482 --> 00:24:02.563
because it's referenced as

00:24:02.583 --> 00:24:03.544
a really pivotal moment.

00:24:04.344 --> 00:24:05.023
And the quote is,

00:24:05.064 --> 00:24:07.324
rebellions are built on hope.

00:24:07.923 --> 00:24:08.884
This is from Rogue One.

00:24:09.545 --> 00:24:11.325
Jyn Erso's rallying cry is

00:24:11.365 --> 00:24:13.826
about belief when the odds look bad.

00:24:14.026 --> 00:24:15.346
Real life applications for this.

00:24:16.683 --> 00:24:17.384
Hope's fuel.

00:24:17.625 --> 00:24:18.445
And when you don't have any,

00:24:18.885 --> 00:24:19.626
it's real hard to go

00:24:19.646 --> 00:24:20.887
anywhere and get anything done.

00:24:21.469 --> 00:24:23.390
And when things get tough, your mindset,

00:24:24.510 --> 00:24:25.692
I'm not even going to say matters most.

00:24:25.732 --> 00:24:26.653
It might be all you have.

00:24:26.733 --> 00:24:28.315
Like sometimes the only

00:24:28.335 --> 00:24:29.576
thing you have is your mindset.

00:24:30.237 --> 00:24:31.057
And that's really easy to

00:24:31.097 --> 00:24:32.798
say when you don't have anything,

00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:34.560
but it is important to remember.

00:24:34.881 --> 00:24:36.643
So rebellions are built on hope.

00:24:38.470 --> 00:24:39.050
I love that.

00:24:39.230 --> 00:24:40.632
And I feel like that's kind

00:24:40.652 --> 00:24:41.573
of where I'm trying to be

00:24:41.653 --> 00:24:42.875
at with physical therapy, right?

00:24:42.914 --> 00:24:44.175
Like I have so much hope for

00:24:44.215 --> 00:24:44.916
the direction that our

00:24:44.957 --> 00:24:45.917
profession could go.

00:24:46.298 --> 00:24:47.900
I just think we need to make changes.

00:24:48.019 --> 00:24:49.842
And I had another PT reach

00:24:49.902 --> 00:24:51.743
out to me this last week and she said,

00:24:52.384 --> 00:24:53.464
I heard you talking about

00:24:53.505 --> 00:24:55.507
how you manipulate in the hospital,

00:24:55.567 --> 00:24:56.848
you do manual therapy in the hospital,

00:24:56.868 --> 00:24:57.769
you do dry needling,

00:24:57.789 --> 00:24:59.571
you do all of these things.

00:24:59.652 --> 00:25:01.413
And I see other people doing things like

00:25:02.114 --> 00:25:04.894
postpartum care and I see PT

00:25:04.914 --> 00:25:07.076
and ED and I just feel like

00:25:07.195 --> 00:25:08.596
all I'm allowed to do is

00:25:08.635 --> 00:25:09.655
get people out of bed and

00:25:09.695 --> 00:25:11.076
into a chair and that's not

00:25:11.116 --> 00:25:13.096
how I want to practice and

00:25:13.157 --> 00:25:14.597
so she said I pushed back

00:25:15.518 --> 00:25:16.719
and I said my practice is

00:25:16.778 --> 00:25:17.898
my practice and I would

00:25:17.919 --> 00:25:19.019
like to progress my

00:25:19.058 --> 00:25:20.700
practice in this facility

00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:24.181
and her managers were like

00:25:24.607 --> 00:25:25.188
nope,

00:25:25.208 --> 00:25:27.328
like that's not how we do things here.

00:25:27.388 --> 00:25:29.230
That's not like what we do.

00:25:29.269 --> 00:25:30.089
We're not doing that.

00:25:30.630 --> 00:25:32.070
And she kept pushing back

00:25:32.211 --> 00:25:32.931
and she brought more

00:25:33.030 --> 00:25:34.751
evidence to them and things like that.

00:25:34.811 --> 00:25:36.093
And so for me,

00:25:36.153 --> 00:25:37.373
when I talk to people about

00:25:37.532 --> 00:25:38.794
top of scope practice and

00:25:38.814 --> 00:25:39.634
like progressing our

00:25:39.673 --> 00:25:40.815
ability to innovate in the

00:25:40.835 --> 00:25:41.795
future and like really

00:25:41.835 --> 00:25:43.576
transform society as physical therapists,

00:25:43.895 --> 00:25:45.096
we can't keep doing things

00:25:45.135 --> 00:25:46.457
the way we always have done.

00:25:46.936 --> 00:25:47.896
We're not going to survive

00:25:47.936 --> 00:25:49.357
from a fiscal perspective,

00:25:49.397 --> 00:25:50.438
but we're also not going to

00:25:50.458 --> 00:25:51.378
survive from like a

00:25:52.259 --> 00:25:53.660
utility perspective or a

00:25:53.859 --> 00:25:55.059
transformation perspective

00:25:55.820 --> 00:25:57.060
and so I love that I love

00:25:57.080 --> 00:25:58.281
this quote we need a pt

00:25:58.342 --> 00:25:59.501
rebellion and we're like in

00:25:59.561 --> 00:26:01.502
it to win I love it I love

00:26:01.522 --> 00:26:03.183
it I would say if managers

00:26:03.223 --> 00:26:04.084
or people in your life

00:26:04.124 --> 00:26:04.864
doesn't really matter like

00:26:05.064 --> 00:26:05.924
this stuff is really

00:26:05.944 --> 00:26:08.105
philosophical um and it

00:26:08.125 --> 00:26:09.266
applies sort of anywhere

00:26:09.306 --> 00:26:10.807
you can find places for if

00:26:10.846 --> 00:26:11.707
someone tells you this is

00:26:11.906 --> 00:26:13.107
only the way we do things

00:26:14.028 --> 00:26:15.107
only a sith deals in

00:26:15.147 --> 00:26:17.068
absolutes like do they also

00:26:17.108 --> 00:26:18.690
say this is the way we've always done it

00:26:19.534 --> 00:26:20.315
That's an absolute.

00:26:21.375 --> 00:26:22.175
Because what they're also saying,

00:26:22.195 --> 00:26:23.116
this is what we've always done it.

00:26:23.136 --> 00:26:24.057
This is the way we will do it.

00:26:24.198 --> 00:26:25.659
That is absolute, right?

00:26:25.858 --> 00:26:26.700
I don't know if I want to

00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.780
work with people or work

00:26:27.800 --> 00:26:29.041
around people or have

00:26:29.061 --> 00:26:30.002
people in my personal life

00:26:30.242 --> 00:26:31.263
who deal in absolutes.

00:26:32.417 --> 00:26:33.578
Every presentation I give,

00:26:33.719 --> 00:26:35.660
I start with like a mindset conversation.

00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:36.799
So we can go back to that

00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:37.680
quote about mindset.

00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:38.201
And I say,

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:39.981
I need you to imagine how things could be,

00:26:40.362 --> 00:26:41.142
not how things are.

00:26:41.501 --> 00:26:42.482
Because if you listen to this,

00:26:42.942 --> 00:26:44.123
this conversation from the

00:26:44.163 --> 00:26:45.243
perspective of this is the

00:26:45.263 --> 00:26:46.263
way we have to do it.

00:26:46.325 --> 00:26:47.244
And I can't do that.

00:26:47.305 --> 00:26:48.204
I'm not allowed to do that.

00:26:48.265 --> 00:26:49.526
Then we won't ever move forward.

00:26:49.885 --> 00:26:51.287
But if you can listen to me

00:26:51.366 --> 00:26:52.406
and this presentation from

00:26:52.426 --> 00:26:54.428
the perspective of why can't we do that?

00:26:54.488 --> 00:26:55.689
Why am I not doing that?

00:26:55.769 --> 00:26:57.049
And how could I do that?

00:26:57.289 --> 00:26:58.450
Then you're going to take so

00:26:58.490 --> 00:26:59.471
much more away from this.

00:26:59.510 --> 00:27:00.671
So rebellions are built on

00:27:00.730 --> 00:27:02.011
hope is my number one so far.

00:27:02.625 --> 00:27:03.306
Yeah.

00:27:03.326 --> 00:27:04.446
All right, so this is a bonus.

00:27:04.467 --> 00:27:05.406
This will be number seven.

00:27:05.748 --> 00:27:06.488
And this comes from one of

00:27:06.508 --> 00:27:07.548
my favorite characters,

00:27:08.009 --> 00:27:09.431
which is Han Solo.

00:27:10.310 --> 00:27:11.471
Han Solo says this,

00:27:11.612 --> 00:27:13.493
and it sort of is like his rallying cry.

00:27:13.513 --> 00:27:14.535
I've seen T-shirts.

00:27:14.734 --> 00:27:17.297
I've seen bumper stickers,

00:27:17.336 --> 00:27:17.876
the whole thing.

00:27:18.178 --> 00:27:19.638
So Han says in The Empire Strikes Back,

00:27:19.778 --> 00:27:22.902
mid-crisis, while he's ready-fire aiming,

00:27:23.142 --> 00:27:23.942
this is maybe why I

00:27:24.001 --> 00:27:25.503
gravitate towards Han Solo.

00:27:25.544 --> 00:27:27.565
He's very much ready-fire aim.

00:27:27.905 --> 00:27:30.627
His quote is, never tell me the odds.

00:27:31.980 --> 00:27:34.240
So the real-life application is, like,

00:27:34.421 --> 00:27:36.882
don't get paralyzed by analysis.

00:27:37.001 --> 00:27:38.462
Paralysis by analysis.

00:27:38.522 --> 00:27:39.262
Just don't get caught.

00:27:39.542 --> 00:27:41.644
Bold action creates momentum.

00:27:42.084 --> 00:27:44.184
Like, Han is typically in situations where,

00:27:44.224 --> 00:27:44.404
like,

00:27:45.724 --> 00:27:47.746
inaction will literally cause his or

00:27:47.806 --> 00:27:48.426
others' death.

00:27:48.646 --> 00:27:49.007
And he...

00:27:51.066 --> 00:27:52.406
I think people mistake Han

00:27:52.446 --> 00:27:53.508
Solo for being reckless

00:27:53.548 --> 00:27:56.171
because he analyzes and reacts quickly,

00:27:56.711 --> 00:27:58.532
where some people are more methodical.

00:27:58.593 --> 00:27:59.994
But make no mistake about it.

00:28:00.535 --> 00:28:01.836
Bold action is required.

00:28:01.977 --> 00:28:02.217
Again,

00:28:02.257 --> 00:28:03.577
go back to that question from my dad.

00:28:03.617 --> 00:28:04.298
What's the worst thing to do

00:28:04.318 --> 00:28:05.220
in a panic situation?

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:05.941
Panic.

00:28:06.520 --> 00:28:07.402
Han might look like he's

00:28:07.442 --> 00:28:08.262
panicking because he's

00:28:08.502 --> 00:28:09.845
thinking quickly and looking around.

00:28:10.505 --> 00:28:11.346
The second worst thing to do

00:28:11.365 --> 00:28:12.867
in a panic situation is nothing.

00:28:13.188 --> 00:28:13.528
Nothing.

00:28:14.328 --> 00:28:15.690
So never tell me the odds.

00:28:15.869 --> 00:28:17.509
It's also it fits Han Solo.

00:28:18.049 --> 00:28:19.171
His other great quote.

00:28:19.330 --> 00:28:19.590
Again,

00:28:19.931 --> 00:28:21.010
I'm going to say spoiler alert to

00:28:21.030 --> 00:28:21.551
you because if you haven't

00:28:21.571 --> 00:28:22.491
seen Star Wars by now,

00:28:22.531 --> 00:28:25.192
it's past the statute of limitations.

00:28:25.633 --> 00:28:26.834
But he's like chasing after

00:28:26.894 --> 00:28:28.653
Leia for like a long time.

00:28:28.673 --> 00:28:29.855
And she finally says, I love you.

00:28:29.934 --> 00:28:32.194
And his response is, I know.

00:28:33.756 --> 00:28:35.517
Legend status right there being like,

00:28:35.696 --> 00:28:35.957
I know.

00:28:36.376 --> 00:28:37.737
But anyway, never tell me the odds.

00:28:37.917 --> 00:28:38.857
What do you think about this one?

00:28:39.912 --> 00:28:40.932
I like that too,

00:28:40.972 --> 00:28:42.493
because that goes back to like,

00:28:42.534 --> 00:28:43.894
this is the way we've always done it.

00:28:44.075 --> 00:28:45.836
And this is the only way we can do it.

00:28:45.875 --> 00:28:46.957
And here's the eight hundred

00:28:47.017 --> 00:28:48.217
reasons that catalog

00:28:48.377 --> 00:28:49.857
cataloged as to why I'm not

00:28:49.878 --> 00:28:50.838
going to do or do not.

00:28:51.259 --> 00:28:52.160
I'm not even going to try

00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:53.320
because these are the odds.

00:28:53.840 --> 00:28:54.862
And so I think that that

00:28:54.902 --> 00:28:56.182
quote kind of goes full circle.

00:28:56.242 --> 00:28:57.343
I'm not even going to try

00:28:57.542 --> 00:29:00.164
because the odds are stacked against me.

00:29:00.645 --> 00:29:02.727
That shows your mindset is really

00:29:03.567 --> 00:29:04.587
not in a great place.

00:29:04.688 --> 00:29:05.648
It's definitely like,

00:29:06.128 --> 00:29:07.190
if you know all the odds

00:29:07.250 --> 00:29:09.031
and it's an absolute and there's no hope,

00:29:09.051 --> 00:29:10.373
why would you even bother?

00:29:10.393 --> 00:29:11.835
So then we go back to our hope quote,

00:29:11.855 --> 00:29:12.434
we're ready to,

00:29:12.535 --> 00:29:13.536
we're ready to rock and roll.

00:29:13.576 --> 00:29:14.497
So I love this.

00:29:14.836 --> 00:29:17.640
And I think that's too, how I practice,

00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:17.859
right?

00:29:17.900 --> 00:29:20.843
Like what are the odds of

00:29:20.863 --> 00:29:21.844
having physical therapists

00:29:21.864 --> 00:29:22.924
in the emergency department?

00:29:23.005 --> 00:29:23.505
Not great.

00:29:23.605 --> 00:29:24.526
What are the odds that we could,

00:29:24.685 --> 00:29:25.807
I don't know, probably not great,

00:29:25.826 --> 00:29:26.867
but I'm going to keep trying.

00:29:27.248 --> 00:29:27.909
I'm going to do it.

00:29:28.249 --> 00:29:29.009
So I love this.

00:29:29.029 --> 00:29:29.810
This is kind of fun.

00:29:30.236 --> 00:29:31.517
Yeah, take the leap, trust your gut.

00:29:31.977 --> 00:29:33.676
Listen, Han calculated risk,

00:29:34.377 --> 00:29:35.397
but he didn't worship it

00:29:35.458 --> 00:29:36.219
and he didn't live by it.

00:29:36.239 --> 00:29:36.719
He didn't say, well,

00:29:36.739 --> 00:29:37.838
the odds say we can't do it.

00:29:37.858 --> 00:29:39.059
He's like, we don't have another choice.

00:29:39.420 --> 00:29:40.180
So we're gonna make the best

00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:41.500
decision moving forward and

00:29:41.520 --> 00:29:42.520
we're gonna take some bold action.

00:29:42.861 --> 00:29:43.721
The Wright brothers didn't

00:29:43.761 --> 00:29:45.662
wait for guaranteed success.

00:29:45.701 --> 00:29:47.762
They couldn't, there was no guarantee,

00:29:48.143 --> 00:29:49.104
especially if you're on the

00:29:49.203 --> 00:29:49.864
edge of something,

00:29:49.903 --> 00:29:50.785
if you're on the bleeding edge,

00:29:50.805 --> 00:29:51.944
if you're creating something.

00:29:52.325 --> 00:29:53.165
This is why artists are

00:29:53.226 --> 00:29:55.066
often looked at as crazy people, right?

00:29:55.086 --> 00:29:56.106
There was that great ad,

00:29:56.747 --> 00:29:58.869
from apple like this is this

00:29:59.009 --> 00:30:00.250
this is for the crazy ones

00:30:00.431 --> 00:30:01.752
the risk takers the people

00:30:01.772 --> 00:30:03.414
who leave like history

00:30:03.855 --> 00:30:05.116
never mentions the people

00:30:05.136 --> 00:30:06.117
who played it safe like it

00:30:06.137 --> 00:30:07.880
just doesn't history writes

00:30:07.900 --> 00:30:08.621
the stories about people

00:30:08.661 --> 00:30:09.501
who broke the rules and

00:30:09.521 --> 00:30:12.085
broke the mold again it

00:30:12.403 --> 00:30:13.203
They were breaking the mold

00:30:13.223 --> 00:30:13.703
because they were in a

00:30:13.743 --> 00:30:14.484
situation where breaking

00:30:14.525 --> 00:30:16.026
the mold was the best option.

00:30:16.126 --> 00:30:17.027
Maybe not the only option.

00:30:17.126 --> 00:30:17.907
They could have played it safe,

00:30:18.269 --> 00:30:19.369
but it was a great option.

00:30:19.750 --> 00:30:22.412
So sometimes ignoring the

00:30:22.512 --> 00:30:24.595
odds is exactly what gets you through.

00:30:25.055 --> 00:30:27.356
I was told by someone who

00:30:27.376 --> 00:30:28.397
was in leadership that I

00:30:28.438 --> 00:30:29.558
should not start a podcast

00:30:29.598 --> 00:30:30.519
while I was a PT student.

00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:31.641
It would distract me.

00:30:32.041 --> 00:30:34.364
The odds were I was not going to succeed.

00:30:34.884 --> 00:30:34.903
I...

00:30:35.944 --> 00:30:36.805
redefine my odds.

00:30:36.845 --> 00:30:38.246
My success were have fun and

00:30:38.266 --> 00:30:39.566
learn something with every episode.

00:30:39.885 --> 00:30:40.625
Haven't missed yet.

00:30:40.705 --> 00:30:41.506
And we're, I don't know.

00:30:41.566 --> 00:30:42.166
I stopped counting because

00:30:42.186 --> 00:30:42.666
I'm not good at math.

00:30:42.886 --> 00:30:44.406
Fifteen hundred plus episodes in.

00:30:45.807 --> 00:30:46.768
I determined success.

00:30:47.008 --> 00:30:47.988
So my odds were actually

00:30:48.008 --> 00:30:48.748
super high from that

00:30:48.788 --> 00:30:49.708
person's point of view.

00:30:50.087 --> 00:30:51.909
Her lens was you're going to

00:30:51.929 --> 00:30:53.669
be famous or make lots of money.

00:30:53.769 --> 00:30:54.489
And I'm like that.

00:30:54.548 --> 00:30:55.710
Those aren't my that's not

00:30:55.730 --> 00:30:56.789
my definition of success.

00:30:56.869 --> 00:30:57.730
It was have fun, learn stuff.

00:30:57.750 --> 00:30:59.130
Well,

00:30:59.150 --> 00:31:00.911
and I think we can't all be Han solos,

00:31:00.971 --> 00:31:01.211
right?

00:31:01.230 --> 00:31:01.371
Like,

00:31:01.391 --> 00:31:02.631
I think we need people that balance

00:31:02.651 --> 00:31:04.152
us out because we need

00:31:04.172 --> 00:31:05.291
people that don't just leap.

00:31:06.209 --> 00:31:07.330
We need the people that are like,

00:31:08.412 --> 00:31:10.494
get the vision and the plan.

00:31:10.674 --> 00:31:12.657
Like you said, you need some people

00:31:13.301 --> 00:31:14.342
to do the podcast,

00:31:14.382 --> 00:31:15.383
help you get that podcast

00:31:15.482 --> 00:31:16.383
all the way out there.

00:31:16.522 --> 00:31:17.363
You might be the voice,

00:31:17.383 --> 00:31:18.804
but you need somebody behind you.

00:31:19.243 --> 00:31:20.644
So we can't all be Han Solos,

00:31:20.683 --> 00:31:22.444
but I think we need Han Solos.

00:31:22.825 --> 00:31:24.006
I just had a great idea for

00:31:24.046 --> 00:31:26.365
maybe our next talk, right?

00:31:26.405 --> 00:31:27.727
So we've just been talking about a book,

00:31:27.906 --> 00:31:28.126
right?

00:31:28.267 --> 00:31:29.027
Last episode,

00:31:29.067 --> 00:31:30.587
which was Six Types of Working Genius.

00:31:31.268 --> 00:31:32.669
And it listed, just as a review,

00:31:32.788 --> 00:31:34.288
it listed the six types of

00:31:34.568 --> 00:31:36.069
tasks or things that we do.

00:31:36.109 --> 00:31:37.349
There's only six according

00:31:37.390 --> 00:31:39.431
to this paradigm, this lens, right?

00:31:40.211 --> 00:31:41.231
Pay attention to other people's lenses.

00:31:41.932 --> 00:31:42.932
And it says that out of

00:31:42.951 --> 00:31:44.133
those six types of work,

00:31:44.333 --> 00:31:46.534
we are energized by two,

00:31:47.075 --> 00:31:49.695
we have energy drained from us by two,

00:31:49.836 --> 00:31:50.695
and then two are sort of

00:31:50.756 --> 00:31:51.537
mayonnaise in the middle.

00:31:51.576 --> 00:31:52.517
Like, yeah, they're fine,

00:31:52.537 --> 00:31:53.137
but they're not great,

00:31:53.178 --> 00:31:53.917
but they're not awful.

00:31:55.358 --> 00:31:56.700
So here's an idea,

00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:58.020
a pitch for our next episode,

00:31:58.040 --> 00:31:58.980
the next time we get together.

00:31:59.922 --> 00:32:02.683
I will lay out to you the caricatures,

00:32:02.864 --> 00:32:04.265
because you haven't watched Star Wars.

00:32:04.285 --> 00:32:04.884
This is great.

00:32:04.904 --> 00:32:06.346
You have a zero fresh lens.

00:32:06.365 --> 00:32:08.827
You have no preconceived ideas.

00:32:09.448 --> 00:32:10.348
I will lay out to you the

00:32:10.409 --> 00:32:12.670
team in Star Wars,

00:32:13.310 --> 00:32:14.751
and then I'll have AI sort

00:32:14.771 --> 00:32:16.512
of like tell us who those

00:32:16.532 --> 00:32:18.054
people are in terms of the

00:32:18.094 --> 00:32:19.734
lens of the six types of working genius.

00:32:20.035 --> 00:32:20.535
Because right,

00:32:20.816 --> 00:32:22.457
if we had a team full of Han solos,

00:32:23.428 --> 00:32:24.209
That ain't going to work.

00:32:24.429 --> 00:32:26.710
Like you do need R two D two

00:32:27.010 --> 00:32:28.171
and you need a C three PO

00:32:28.412 --> 00:32:29.372
and you need these people.

00:32:29.632 --> 00:32:31.213
And that's why, I mean, again,

00:32:31.233 --> 00:32:33.454
I'm a date myself, but like the a team,

00:32:33.734 --> 00:32:34.375
which was the great

00:32:34.476 --> 00:32:35.497
eighties sitcom had these

00:32:35.596 --> 00:32:38.858
four dudes who had varied skills and

00:32:39.019 --> 00:32:39.759
you look at oceans,

00:32:39.900 --> 00:32:41.381
like we could go on and on

00:32:41.401 --> 00:32:42.422
about how these people,

00:32:42.582 --> 00:32:45.624
how their skills compliment each other.

00:32:46.084 --> 00:32:47.664
But if you had, you know,

00:32:48.026 --> 00:32:51.347
four BA Baracuses played by Mr. T in,

00:32:51.508 --> 00:32:52.669
you know, in the A team,

00:32:53.148 --> 00:32:54.349
that's a different, that's a different,

00:32:54.490 --> 00:32:55.211
that's a different test,

00:32:55.230 --> 00:32:55.810
a different outcome.

00:32:55.851 --> 00:32:56.432
Yeah.

00:32:56.471 --> 00:32:57.752
All right.

00:32:57.772 --> 00:32:58.972
Parting shots for this episode.

00:33:00.334 --> 00:33:02.675
What do you got?

00:33:02.695 --> 00:33:05.337
Gosh, I guess I've got that.

00:33:06.578 --> 00:33:07.660
Star Wars might be

00:33:09.461 --> 00:33:11.884
okay yeah maybe I don't know

00:33:11.983 --> 00:33:13.964
I still feel like there's a

00:33:14.025 --> 00:33:16.067
lot there's a lot in here

00:33:16.606 --> 00:33:19.709
to unpack yeah but that

00:33:19.868 --> 00:33:21.230
maybe I'm just unpacking it

00:33:21.289 --> 00:33:22.391
all in a way that suits my

00:33:22.451 --> 00:33:24.211
current philosophy yeah we

00:33:24.251 --> 00:33:25.073
all sort of do that right

00:33:25.153 --> 00:33:25.813
we look through our own

00:33:25.853 --> 00:33:26.794
lens that's why I like one

00:33:26.814 --> 00:33:27.473
of the quotes which is

00:33:27.513 --> 00:33:28.555
essentially like make sure

00:33:28.575 --> 00:33:29.035
you look through other

00:33:29.055 --> 00:33:31.636
people's lenses so I think rebellion

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:35.240
is a form of hope or rebellion, whatever,

00:33:35.260 --> 00:33:35.961
bring it back up.

00:33:35.980 --> 00:33:36.481
I don't know.

00:33:36.541 --> 00:33:37.382
Rebellions are built on hope

00:33:37.402 --> 00:33:38.082
is my take home.

00:33:38.382 --> 00:33:39.022
Like let's,

00:33:39.182 --> 00:33:41.183
let's have a hopeful rebellion together.

00:33:41.723 --> 00:33:41.963
Yeah.

00:33:42.003 --> 00:33:42.223
All right.

00:33:42.263 --> 00:33:43.704
I'll quote my parting shot

00:33:43.724 --> 00:33:44.384
would be of course,

00:33:44.904 --> 00:33:47.106
never tell me the odds Han Solo.

00:33:47.747 --> 00:33:49.407
Don't just watch star Wars.

00:33:49.448 --> 00:33:50.667
You can live it again.

00:33:50.928 --> 00:33:52.148
U S census lists it as an

00:33:52.249 --> 00:33:53.028
actual religion that you

00:33:53.048 --> 00:33:55.269
can claim in the United States.

00:33:56.451 --> 00:33:57.872
Would love to hear your favorite quote.

00:33:57.951 --> 00:33:59.711
If you heard one and you

00:33:59.731 --> 00:34:00.532
want to agree with one of

00:34:00.553 --> 00:34:01.373
the seven that we brought up,

00:34:01.593 --> 00:34:02.693
or if you have one from the,

00:34:03.273 --> 00:34:04.294
Hours and hours and hours

00:34:04.314 --> 00:34:05.375
worth of Star Wars stuff

00:34:05.414 --> 00:34:06.335
and fan fiction stuff.

00:34:07.276 --> 00:34:10.757
Subscribe to Rebecca's podcast, the EDDPT.

00:34:11.317 --> 00:34:12.737
Where are you going in the world next?

00:34:12.958 --> 00:34:14.137
You were just in Chicago.

00:34:14.157 --> 00:34:14.858
Where are you going next?

00:34:15.259 --> 00:34:15.898
Durham.

00:34:15.918 --> 00:34:16.898
I'm going to go to Durham at

00:34:16.938 --> 00:34:17.639
the end of the month for

00:34:17.659 --> 00:34:18.780
the House of Delegates,

00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:19.920
which is a mock House of

00:34:19.940 --> 00:34:21.221
Delegates for PT students.

00:34:21.240 --> 00:34:22.382
All right.

00:34:22.561 --> 00:34:23.902
And throw people your website.

00:34:25.043 --> 00:34:26.023
TheEDDPT.com.

00:34:26.143 --> 00:34:27.643
All right.

00:34:27.664 --> 00:34:28.704
We'll see you guys next week.

00:34:29.063 --> 00:34:30.485
And I will say it.

00:34:30.505 --> 00:34:31.284
May the force be with you.
