This is Russell Brunson, welcome to the Marketing Secrets podcast. I’ve got some cool stuff to share with you today, not going to lie, I am excited. So let’s queue up the theme song and I will be right back. Alright everybody, it has been a little while since I recorded a podcast. We’ve had a whole bunch in the queue which has been nice, but the queue ends today. So my brother is like, “You need to record a podcast.” And the reason why I haven’t been doing it is because I have like 4 or 5 in my notes that I want to do. For example, I just got back from, I guess not just, a couple of weeks now, but a Disney Cruise with my kids for a week, which was insane. We set a huge goal with them, and I want to talk about that. And then number two, we went straight from a Disney Cruise to Puerto Rico to hang out with a whole bunch of amazing people like Brendon Burchard and the list is huge, Rachel Hollis, Lewis Howels, anyway, I’m not going to riddle off all the names right now, but a whole bunch of amazing people. And I want to do a whole podcast about what I learned and cool stuff there. And then since then, I’ve been home and a bunch of other stuff’s been happening. And I’ve got like 4 or 5 that I want to share. But I’m going to jump this one up in the queue because, for two reasons, number one is right now I’m actually sitting here in my office at my house with a huge ice pack on my neck, and the other three or four are going to take a little more preparation, but this one I wanted to share with you because I think it’s super important. But before I share this thought, some of you guys are wondering, “Russell, why do you have a big icepack on your neck?” So here is the reason. In a week from tomorrow I am flying to Vegas and I am going to be standing on a scale to weigh in for my first wrestling tournament in almost 18 years. Yeah, and I’m really excited. I remember when my senior year in college, I went to the national tournament and I remember they had just opened a new division, it was called the Veterans division, and there were these dudes, they were 80-85 years old, out there wrestling. And I remember thinking, I hope that’s me someday. I hope that when I’m 80 years old I still come out here and I wrestle. And then fast forward, I didn’t end up doing good. My senior year I kind of missed my goals and I was going to spiral into some horrible depression, but instead I shifted over and focused all my efforts on business, which is how I grew this business, and long story short, it’s been 17-18 years and I haven’t wrestled and competed. And I miss it, and I want to. And the open nationals are happening next week. So two years ago one of my buddies I was wrestling with, he went and I didn’t know about it. And he went and came back and told me about it. And I was like, “What? I want to go. Dude, let’s go next year.” So the next year we’re going to go, and then I had booked my inner circle meetings at the exact same time. So he was going to go and we were wrestling and I accidently threw him and tore his shoulder out, so he wasn’t able to go. So this year I was like, okay. So I moved my inner circle meetings all around so
