*Previously Recorded

Speaker 1:

Are you ready to create a life you crave? Let's spin that doom loop of negativity into an upward success cycle and start living lucky.

Speaker 2:

Good morning. Good morning.

Speaker 1:

I'm Jason and we are living lucky. We're talking about falling into fabulous or fabulous.

Speaker 2:

What a better place to fall.

Speaker 1:

It's hard to believe it's fall already. Right, I mean, we just had the time change. I had to change the clock on my car. I always forget how to do that.

Speaker 2:

That is one of the one places that sometimes can be the most difficult clocks to change.

Speaker 1:

That in the oven.

Speaker 2:

But the car is like where is my car manual? After three or four years you're like where's the car manual and how do I get to the clock changing mechanism?

Speaker 1:

Wait, you only change it every three or four years because you know the clocks do change twice a year.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, this is why I very much advocate for changing the clocks 30 minutes one way or the other during the time change and just leaving.

Speaker 1:

If there's a slight delay, it's because Jason is halfway around the United States. He's in Dallas. Is that halfway around the United States? Is that what you'd?

Speaker 2:

call me. That is, I'm right in the middle.

Speaker 1:

You're cutting out a little bit, jason, you're cutting out on us so make sure that you are close to your microphone.

Speaker 2:

He is a solar flare.

Speaker 1:

He is so lucky to be here today because he got to go experience Mr Tony Robbins and you walked on fire, isn't that right?

Speaker 2:

I did, I walked, uh, it was probably about 25 to 30 feet on fire on coals to 2,200 degrees.

Speaker 1:

The last time we did this, Jason and I did it together. Now, many of you know that I'm a paraplegic, and so when it came my turn, I decided that I was going to do the wheel barrel across the fire flame. So I actually walked across fire with my hands and I was going to have Jason hold my feet. So we gave my phone to some complete random stranger and we said make sure you videotape this. It's going to be great. It's going to be great.

Speaker 2:

Well, when we get up to do it.

Speaker 1:

He was a total random person, and when we get up to do it, the people that were in charge wouldn't let Jason and I be on the flames at the same time, so they took over and they grabbed my feet. They still let me walk on my hands, though. However, the guy that was doing the videotaping he didn't get any of it on tape. Hey, like none of this. So here I was, walking across on my hands, fire in my face. I mean this was so dangerous and I was thinking this is going to make my speaking career. This is totally going to make me, and when we get done, I mean I even fell in the middle of it.

Speaker 1:

I fell because the guy holding my feet was going faster than my arms were going and I got blisters all on my palms and my hands all down my wrist and I'm thinking, oh my gosh, this is going to be epic video, because I stopped, dropped and rolled in the middle of it. But then I didn't give up. No, no, no, no. I got right back on those flames and I said I'm going to do it again because I'm in state. And then I did it again and it was like this big redemption moment. And then all of a sudden we look at the video and Nothing.

Speaker 2:

Nothing Get any evidence.

Speaker 2:

Godness and people in someone's back. And that was one thing that kind of tweaked my patoot, because we had practiced this wheel barrel walk and if you're not familiar with what a wheel barrel move is, is where Janna puts her hand, her feet, in my hands and then she puts her hands on the ground and just walks on her hands. And we had practiced this over and over and over again and had the speed down, had everything down, and the event staff were like we're not comfortable with that. And we're like, well, we are extremely comfortable with this, we have planned it, we are in state and our mental capacity is on fire for this. No pun, actually pun intended, how about that? And they were not prepared for how prepared we were. And then it just went haywire and you, face planted into the coals, got burns on your fingers and then I got burns on my feet.

Speaker 1:

I'm so lucky that my face didn't burn. It was my choice to be there and I was in state. I was going to get across those flames, no matter what.

Speaker 2:

We were in state and you did it and I did.

Speaker 1:

You were a fire walker. I know a fire handstanders what I was.

Speaker 2:

At any rate, we're talking about falling. So we were fire walkers, and I guess we are.

Speaker 1:

We're not talking about falling into flames. We're talking about falling into fabulous, because that is the event that is happening on December 2nd and it's an event that I happened to attend last year. And this event, oh, it is just, it is transformative, is what it is, and I happen to get an invite from a good friend of mine and I'm telling you it was just awesome. First of all, it is put on by the Cecily Wilson. She is a veteran anchor in town and some of you might know her story is just, I mean, it is just awesome, but she happened to have a slight stroke while she was on the air as an anchor and it rocked her world because all of a sudden, she had that question oh my gosh, now what? Now what? I mean, we've all had that right. When life circumstances happen and it turns you topsy-turvy upside down, you think, oh my gosh, now what do I do?

Speaker 2:

Right, yeah, where do I go from here? Yeah, and that's scary.

Speaker 1:

With her perseverance, resilience, willpower. She not only overcame, but she has used her experiences of transformation and she is now finding her mission in life, which is to help other women transform and to just rise to higher levels of consciousness in their lives. And so she not only has this program, it's called Wow Women Overcoming with Willpower. Wow, wow, wow, wow. And she has this program where she puts women through a formal month program and literally every area of their life starts to improve, and part of it is just by being in the community. You start getting in that energy vortex and you start seeing other people do it and it's inspiring. It's inspiring. You start getting around other people that are making improvements and wanting to be their best selves and all of a sudden you start showing up differently. Jason, you know all about this, right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, it's when you have that adversity, when you get hit in the face. You know no pun intended, I guess it's that whole. Mike Tyson says everybody has a plan until they get hit in the face. Well, leslie had this stroke on air and you hit that moment where you're like, oh my gosh, now what, where do I go from here? Well, when you get in that community and when you get in that personal development, then you get to start seeing how, after the adversity, you get to reset, rebound and refocus your life and say, okay, where am I going and what does that look like? And when you see other people doing the same thing, when they're resetting, refocusing and rebounding, then you see it's possible and you see that you, how you can do the same thing. And it's amazing. Plus, just the Plus, just the Plus, just the.

Speaker 1:

Plus, just the Plus, just the Plus, just the Plus, just the Plus, just the Plus. Just the support and encouragement from other people. It's like having your own cheerleaders, right yeah.

Speaker 2:

When everybody's going in the same direction, it's an amazing energy and a flow, and it's incredible. And what did you say? Last year there were over 300 people there and they expect up to five or 600 people this year. It's going to be incredible.

Speaker 1:

I mean it's a party, this is a party. There's a band they start first of all. It's at a swanky hotel and it's in the ballroom.

Speaker 1:

So out in the lobby they have vendors and I mean I spent a little time in the lobby because I like to look at all the candles and the jewelry and they have all the beauty products and some pop-up tents, all the fun stuff to look at. I always like that stuff. And then when they open the doors to the ballroom, it's, I mean, the tables are set and it's beautiful China, and you go in and you've got your girlfriends with you. I went with Miss Amy Sweezy and it's just a good time. It's like, all right, let's go in there, let's get our little swag bags and let's all rise together.

Speaker 1:

And so then last year they had the speaker, sarah Jakes Roberts, who is just wow. I mean, speaking of wow. She came out and not only were people leaning in, but they were standing up. Everybody had their phones out taking pictures. She raised the roof in that place and I am telling you, we all came away feeling inspired and wanting to become even better than we are. We all had our souls a-stirring, thinking you know what I've got potential in me that I can tap into. You know that feeling. You're at Tony Robbins right now, jason. You know how that is right. You've been jumping around all day, oh, jason, before we started.

Speaker 1:

Jason, that's right, don't leave it on the table. Yeah, jason goes. I've been playing full out. In fact, my calves hurt and just so you know, jason was the biggest calves ever.

Speaker 2:

Like that's one of his best body parts I may have pulled one, really, yeah, and so it's at the Low Royal Pacific Hotel this year and I think last year. I saw the pictures. I didn't go last year. He's talking about Fall into Fabulous, not Tony.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:

Oh he froze. Yeah, we're not here to not get everything we want out of life. Am I frozen? Yeah, Am I frozen.

Speaker 1:
