Listen below to hear the exciting news of Russell’s new baby girls birth. ---Transcript--- Hey guys and gals and everyone who is hanging out with me today, I hope you guys are doing awesome. I’m on day three now having a brand-new little baby. I can’t remember if I told you guys yet or not, but we just had a baby at the end of February. It was a month early. My wife woke up at 430 in the morning and said, “Russell, I think my water broke.” So, we started the process, and sure enough a little baby came a month early. She’s doing awesome. She’s really big. She was 7 pounds and 1 ounce when she came – really healthy. We got to take her home yesterday which was really cool. It’s been amazing. I got her home last night, and now I have my early morning weightlifting. Fortunately, my mother-in-law is in town and can watch the baby for little bit. We’ve named her Norah Jane Brunson. So, that’s been fun. It’s funny because we thought we had an entire month to plan. We had nothing planned yet, which has been a fun experience of hurrying and buying everything we need and trying to coordinate schedules and get everything off. We have all these plans this week that we now obviously have to cancel and move things around and shut things down and just go crazy with things to get all the free time so I could hang out with the family for this week and get things under control. Anyway, it’s been crazy little bit. We are all tired now. We are worn out and everything. But, I just want to jump on and say “hey” for one. I miss you guys and I hope you are doing everything. Secondly, I did a podcast about this a long time ago. If you go through the archives marketinginyourcar.com I’m sure you can find it and listen to it. But, it has to do with just our attitudes toward things. I was talking in that podcast about how my kids – we trained them a long time ago – if someone asks us how were doing, we don’t say “good.” Everyone says, “How you doing?” “Doing good. Doing good.” The world is boring because everyone’s just doing good. It’s a bad thing. So, probably two or three years ago I decided that when someone asks me how I’m doing, is that of saying that I’m doing good I’m going to say that I’m doing awesome. It’s funny because we go to the airport at four in the morning and you’re buying some gum or something the ladies like, “How you doing today?” When you say, “I’m doing awesome,” there always like, “What, really?” You can really catch people off guard. So, we trained our kids about a year ago at dinnertime we sat around that I had them each go through and talk about this. The rest of the world is doing good. We are doing awesome. I would say, “How you guys doing?” They would say, “We are doing awesome.” I always quizzed them all the time too. Whenever I see them in the morning I go, “Hey, Dallin, how are you doing?” “I’m doing awesome Dad!” “Hey, Ellie, how are you doing?” “I’m doing awesome, Dad!” We get everybody saying they are doing awesome. It’s funny how just that little tiny shift can change everything. They used to laugh because four years ago we had our last kid. His name is Aden, and he is four now. We were in the hospital, we had this nurse who was crazy negative. I just remember she was so miserable all the time – so much so that my wife actually left the hospital early because she didn’t want to stay on her shift anymore. She literally called me up and said, “Hey, come get me. I’m leaving because I just don’t want to be on this nurse’s shift. She’s so miserable.”
