00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.320
Hey, you love done to the censure?

2
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.320
Wow for you you.

3
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.160
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

4
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.440
Man W four c Y Radio and this is our

5
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:29.719
Positively Pipeman segment with the Pet health Guru and Man.

6
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:36.280
We're gonna talk today about cat nutrition. First thing I

7
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.600
have to ask you Bill right off the bat is

8
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.840
why is it that dogs like to eat cat poop.

9
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:46.719
Because it's more nutrition than dog food?

10
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.759
Wow? Wow, that's wild.

11
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.520
So tell us a little bit about cat nutrition because

12
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:56.759
I think most people don't even really know.

13
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:58.640
They just give their cats.

14
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:00.960
They buy something off the sh they don't even know,

15
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:02.560
and they just give it to them.

16
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.439
Yeah, that's the problem. That's the biggest problem. I mean,

17
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.040
commercial pet foods, of course, have been around for about

18
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.560
seventy five years now, and it's just a convenience food

19
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.120
as all it is. It's no you know, it's not

20
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.560
nutritionally sound. It's not going to provide them with an

21
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.840
ultimate sense of health or anything of that nature. The

22
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.680
problem with cats, they're very unique animals in that they're

23
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.159
obligate carnivores, which means they can only basically break down

24
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.760
animal fats and proteins, so that you know, with that

25
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.120
being said, they need a meat diet. They're also they

26
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.519
originated in the desert, and because of that, they have

27
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:45.760
to get all their moisture from their food. They don't

28
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.120
drink very well out of a dish or anything of

29
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.000
that nature, so they're always when you're feeding dry food,

30
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.640
they're always in a state of dehydration, and of course

31
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:56.840
that creates all kinds of problems with the kidney and

32
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.000
the liver. That's why we see so much diabetes, why

33
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:03.519
we see so much kidney fail your UTIs and cats.

34
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:07.359
It should just be a raw meat diet. And when

35
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.639
we stop and think about it, we're the only creature

36
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.680
on the face of yours that cooks our food. And

37
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.759
you know, if your choice was only to have dry

38
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:23.479
cereal every single day of your life, just not think

39
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.039
about that, how long would it take?

40
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.800
Only if it was Count Schocula, then I'd be good.

41
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.000
I could deal with Count Schocula the rest of my life.

42
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.599
But he gave me cheerios for the rest of my life.

43
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.000
I might become a serial killer.

44
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:45.879
There you go, right now, right?

45
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.280
I didn't you know? You said that? And I was like,

46
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.360
oh crap, I did that and didn't even notice I

47
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:56.680
did that. So here's a question I have for you.

48
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.639
I don't see it nowadays, but you used to be

49
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:06.960
that cat owners only gave their cats milk, not water.

50
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.120
Why is that and is there a reason why it's

51
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:13.840
not as popular today.

52
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.520
Well, first off, our melk gets you buy in the

53
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.840
supermarket is no longer milk, so the animals quite often rejected.

54
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.879
When it used to be whole raw milk, that was fine.

55
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.719
It was actually very nutritious because we're doing it as

56
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:31.319
part of the overall feeding program back then, and so

57
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.199
what nutritious foods did we want it? We're animal based,

58
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.000
and milk was happening to be at the top of

59
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.080
the list. Of course, our water today too, is so

60
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.599
highly toxic with chemicals and that sort of thing. That's

61
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.520
what again, why these animals will not drink the tap

62
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.800
water because it's just really horrible. You know, we have

63
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.240
to keep the body hydrated, so we do need good water.

64
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.000
Living water is found in live foods, and that's that's

65
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.840
what you know. Raw meat basically is a living food.

66
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.159
And the other thing is you have to do variety.

67
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.520
You have to do a rotational diet. Every day should

68
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.120
be something different because every food brings different nutrients to

69
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:14.319
the table, and it also food is a dual transport system.

70
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:18.279
It's bringing in nutrients, but it's also taking out very

71
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:24.439
specific toxins. And of course, with our animals living basically

72
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.680
in such a toxic environment, I mean it's not something

73
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.600
they live on the floor and you're using all kinds

74
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.759
of you know, deadly chemicals on your floor. It was

75
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.360
funny I maybe mentioned it on the previous show, but

76
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:41.279
when we look at even the dishwashing detrogens and that

77
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.959
sort of thing that we have, the toxicity of that

78
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.199
that leaves a film on the on the dishes and

79
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.759
on your utensils and all of that. So every single

80
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.800
day you're just getting more toxins, more toxins, more toxins.

81
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.000
And then you know people go around sticking these supid

82
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.680
you know, send things into their plug. They make the

83
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.199
room smell goodness right at nose level for your cat

84
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.160
or your dog, and so they're breathing in the fumes

85
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.240
every single moment of every single day.

86
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.319
And I want to add to this because I'm sure

87
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.560
there's people out there listening or watching that like think

88
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.839
that it's being dramatic and like what's the big deal

89
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.240
or even people would reference what we did when we

90
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.199
were going, Oh, we drink a garden hose, what's the

91
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.879
big deal? And we know what the big deal is today.

92
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:36.680
But here, here's the thing is, like you you're toxifying

93
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.199
these animals and they don't even have a choice.

94
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:42.680
That's number one right now.

95
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.000
Number two, I'm gonna give a perfect example of what

96
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.560
you talked about the dishes.

97
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:48.639
Okay.

98
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.759
So I was in Bali, as you know, for like

99
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.480
two to three months, and they have what's called their

100
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.079
Bali belly, which is the same as Mexico Manzuma's revenge.

101
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.759
It's basically, don't drink the water, okay, and otherwise you

102
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:08.560
get food poisoning. What's interesting is I and I did

103
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.879
have Bally belly like three times while I was there,

104
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:17.000
and I was extremely careful. Here's the problem. If one

105
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:22.560
drop of that tap water gets on the plate of

106
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.839
the food you're eating, you get Bali belly. And that's

107
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:26.600
how it happened to me.

108
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:27.040
One time.

109
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.079
It was like basically there was probably just a drop

110
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.519
of water on the plate. There was nothing wrong with

111
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.720
the food, there was nothing wrong with anything else. It

112
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.319
was from washing the plates.

113
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.920
Yeah, absolutely, And you know the thing is that you

114
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.079
get all these build up of all these different chemicals

115
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.240
and they all interact completely differently. You know, the EPA

116
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.759
lists something like one hundred and twenty thousand different chemicals today.

117
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.759
But good news is that it is say nine of

118
00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:00.680
them are safe. Yeah, a good government, you know, really

119
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.560
on top of things. But that's just it. I mean,

120
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.720
there's so many different chemicals that are involved in this,

121
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.319
and of course the number of what they've actually did

122
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:12.399
a number of years ago they were actually testing the

123
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.240
cats for toxins, and the number two toxin that they

124
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:20.680
found in their body was flame retardant. Because you love

125
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.360
the lay on the carpet, love the lay on the furniture,

126
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.720
all of which has been treated, you know, with all

127
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.759
these toxic chemicals, you know, to prevent a fire. So

128
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.800
when so we're going to prevent the house from burning

129
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.240
down if it does catch fire, and in the meantime,

130
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.279
we kill everything in the place, you know.

131
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.600
So I just thought of something.

132
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.199
I'm kind of curious, and maybe other people are curious.

133
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:48.600
I'm highly allergic to cats. Question is could that chain

134
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.319
and could that also be part of what they're being

135
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.920
fed and if they were fed properly and with the

136
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.439
right nutrition, maybe people allergic to cats wouldn't have such

137
00:07:59.439 --> 00:07:59.959
a problem.

138
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:05.360
Is that true, Yes, that's true. Basically, cat dander, of

139
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.519
course is part of the cause of that allergen because

140
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:12.040
it's a dust like particle. But the basic part of

141
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.720
that is that the skin is a major detoxifying organ

142
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.639
so all the poisons that are in the foods, in

143
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.240
the environment, everything else that went through the cat's body

144
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:25.079
are coming out in that toxic as a toxic dust

145
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:27.959
basically is what it really is. And of course we're

146
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.439
exposed to it too through the you know, through the

147
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.759
same chemicals that are in our environment that they're living in.

148
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.120
So now you're kind of getting a double dose or

149
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.840
a concentrated dose of it. So, you know, if we

150
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:44.440
detoxified and we make sure that our cats are being

151
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:48.279
fed clean, not being over medicated, all of that sort

152
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:51.279
of thing, most people that were allergic to cats no

153
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:51.840
longer are.

154
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.320
They just go away, Wow, and you know, to go

155
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.000
off the subject of nutrition for a bit, and but

156
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:00.279
stay on the cat thing.

157
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.200
I wanted to know. It just came to me, what's

158
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.080
your opinion of the hairless cats?

159
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:08.879
Another genetic wreck, that's what it is.

160
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.720
Thinking that's what I'm thinking. It was like, that's man

161
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.440
mad science, Frankenstein stuff.

162
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:21.120
Right, that's what it really is. Unfortunately, you know, we've

163
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.440
with all of our pets. We keep trying to you know,

164
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.759
we love the dogs, we love the cats, but let's

165
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:32.279
change them. What that made makes no sense to me

166
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.080
unless you were doing it for an economic reason, you know,

167
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.440
like when we breed cattle. Of course we're breeding dairy

168
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.200
cattle for melt, you know, it's one characteristic, you know,

169
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.679
beef cattle. Obviously we breed for heavy muscles, so we

170
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.759
get good steaks. That's a little bit different. That's a

171
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.159
lot different than you know, most of the dog and

172
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:55.000
cat breeds, especially cat breeds, because cats, really, except for

173
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:59.320
farm cats, you know and pharaohs that are keeping the

174
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:04.559
mouth population and rat population the lizard population down, they

175
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.320
don't really have a functional job. I mean, what functional

176
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.240
job can a person cat really have? They can't. It's

177
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:12.639
lucky you can clean itself.

178
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:16.960
Well, let's talk about that a little bit.

179
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:21.120
What is the difference between the different cat breeds and

180
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.360
what their nutritional needs might be.

181
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:28.480
That and you know, the basic needs are gonna be

182
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.879
the same. But when again, when we look at commercial foods,

183
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.080
they're deficient to start with. So you know, you take

184
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:40.639
a long haired cat obviously needs more fatty acids, you know,

185
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:44.639
you aminos and stuff like that, and more protein collagen

186
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:49.519
to grow a good heavy coat. You know, same thing

187
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.080
with that. Animals that live in you know, the more

188
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.720
northern climates, you know, they're going to be able to

189
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.919
build that winter coat. So they need the high amounts

190
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:03.080
of good animal protein and to maintain that. And you know,

191
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.000
when we talk about fats, everybody thinks, well, if I

192
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.799
feed them too much fat, they're going to get fat. No,

193
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.720
they burn fat, they don't burn sugar like we do.

194
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:14.320
But yet commercial pet foods are nothing but carbohydrates and sugar,

195
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:19.679
and cats are very very addictive. You know. That's that's

196
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:21.720
one of the reasons why when you try to switch

197
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:25.960
the diet from X y Z you have trouble. Cats

198
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.360
are finicky, Well, they're not finicky, they've been hooked on

199
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:33.440
drugs basically. Yeah, yeah, that's the synthetic sugars, you know,

200
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.000
the aspartains and neotames, all of those, and so each

201
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.440
company has its own so that therefore the cat will

202
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.679
not accept a competitor's product.

203
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.080
Well, and to validate that point, my youngest daughters, I've

204
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.440
said before on the show, she has gotten big time

205
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:55.840
into cats recently and alas our house, and she's very

206
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.080
into researching what they can have, what she's like ocd

207
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.480
about what they can have, what they can't have. But

208
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.480
she does give them one thing that in a very

209
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:08.120
small amount. Did I watch these cats freak out when

210
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:12.559
they see it, like just freak out and that and.

211
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.799
Then eating it? Whipped cream?

212
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.240
What is it in whipped cream as driving these cats nuts?

213
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.679
It's the sugars. It's a synthetic sugars. They're addicted to it.

214
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:25.600
Huh, that's interesting.

215
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:27.879
Cream is in whipped cream anymore? I mean, you know

216
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:30.840
most of the whipped cream supposedly on the market it

217
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:32.679
doesn't have any cream in it at all.

218
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.320
I know, right, that's weird. It was.

219
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:41.279
It was like I saw and analysis on I think

220
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.039
it was Subway on their tuna subs and they tested

221
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.840
the tuna fish you know that they put on the

222
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:52.200
subs itself. There was zero percent of tuna, actual real

223
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.720
tuna in that slurry of whatever they put on there.

224
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.919
Wow, that's wild.

225
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.559
So what other sage advice can you give our listeners

226
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.159
about how they should be feeding their pets and what

227
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.759
they well their cats and what they should be doing

228
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:12.639
to have a healthy, long life for the cats and

229
00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:14.000
stop giving them poison.

230
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.440
Well, the main thing is that feed them the poisonous

231
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:21.559
commercial foods. That's number one. Number two, that rotational diet,

232
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.120
so every day they're getting something different. It should always

233
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.759
be wet, it should never be dry. Do not leave

234
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:29.639
the dry food down there for them the munch on

235
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:33.279
and graze, because what you're really doing is upsetting the

236
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.840
whole that just a system. And the reason that they

237
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.320
you know, they have a tendency to graze a little

238
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.039
bit at a time is because they know that's not

239
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.799
what they're supposed to have. You know, they're just trying

240
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.759
to stay alive. And of course the other thing is

241
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:49.279
you know, environmental tops, you know, make sure you've got

242
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:55.879
good cleaning products, they are safe and you know, essentially

243
00:13:55.919 --> 00:14:00.039
then you will have a healthy cat. You know. And

244
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:04.240
when you notice that something is off, correct it, then

245
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.240
don't run to the veterinarian because they don't know anything

246
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:10.360
except it's just going to make that body more toxic.

247
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.120
I say they should run to Bill at my Paleo

248
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:16.080
Pet that's.

249
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:16.639
What I say.

250
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:17.679
That's what I say too.

251
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.679
Would they how would they do that? Well?

252
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.879
They can. They can contact me obviously through my Paleo Pet,

253
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:28.159
which is our retail store and our website for commercial stuff,

254
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.720
and the numbers are all up there on the website itself,

255
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:39.080
also through Pet Health Cafe, which is my podcast, educational

256
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:42.679
every single week, brand new episodes available twenty four to

257
00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:47.120
seven on YouTube, and a number of other venues when

258
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:48.919
you go onto the website as well. On the my

259
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:54.720
Paleo Pet one there's also a media center for the

260
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.039
number of hundreds of magazine articles I've written over the

261
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.399
years on all of this, so you you've got the

262
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:02.320
topics there. And of course a lot of this also

263
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.720
extends on to the pet parents. That's an important thing.

264
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.039
If we don't keep the pet parents healthy, you know,

265
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.919
they don't have any understanding them and you know you

266
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.559
see it in their kids. You know, they just keep

267
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.320
getting fast food. That's what pet food is, fast food,

268
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:19.240
and they don't thrive. You know, cats should be living

269
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:24.759
twenty thirty even longer in a good state now where

270
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:27.200
if a cat hits like fifteen, they think it's a

271
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.600
major major accomplishment.

272
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.159
Yeah, I know somebody in their cat just passed away

273
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.440
at seventeen and they're like, Wow, what long life the

274
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:36.000
cat had.

275
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.759
It's really not. That's really not a long life. And

276
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:42.440
you have to wonder, you know, because of the cat

277
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.320
foods and that sort of thing, how much of that

278
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:48.360
was what we were, you know, like an ultimate state

279
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.600
of health where they're not in pain, where they're not

280
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:55.759
you know, having digestive issues, you know, going blind, going death,

281
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.399
you know, all these things are all signs of toxicity.

282
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:04.279

There you go.

321
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.079
You know, a couple of weeks ago, I talked about

322
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:35.039
the critical six things that you have to have to

323
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:39.079
have if you're going to scale and grow your business,

324
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:45.000
and one of them was mindset, and it's probably one

325
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:49.920
of it's clearly one of the most difficult things that

326
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:53.680
a business owner has to face because the mindset that

327
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.440
it took to go from zero to two hundred and

328
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.799
fifty thousand, as an example, it's a completely different mindset

329
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.359
to go from two fifty to a million, and a

330
00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.400
million to three million. And part of that mindset is

331
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:09.240
less reliance on you part of it.

332
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:10.079
Yeah.

333
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:17.440
And the other thing that's so important is that in

334
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:24.200
order to grow, you have to be comfortable being uncomfortable

335
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:31.200
because mindset changes in mindset that are required to grow

336
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:36.559
are uncomfortable, just totally uncomfortable. And if you're comfortable right now,

337
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:42.519
you're probably not growing. And so I have clients, for example,

338
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:49.400
that are real comfortable where they are. The problem is

339
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.400
if you know, business declines and so forth, you know

340
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:57.519
they've got to deal with that because they're not growing

341
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.000
and they're going to deal with that stress.

342
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.519
Yes, but.

343
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.480
All in all, they're comfortable because they don't have to

344
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:11.119
hire employees necessarily, they don't have to change what they're

345
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:18.440
doing necessarily, and they they're able to get referrals to

346
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:20.720
grow their you know, to not grow their business, but

347
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:26.400
to maintain status quo, and everything's just running along and

348
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.480
they're comfortable. Yeah, and that's not a good place for

349
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.559
a business owner to be. You have to get comfortable

350
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.400
being uncomfortable because in order to go from that two

351
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:39.680
fifty to a million or a million to three million,

352
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.440
there's a lot of changes that you have to make,

353
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:43.839
and changes uncomfortable.

354
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:47.119
Change is really uncomfortable, and it's.

355
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:50.119
Uncomfortable for a lot of business owners. But unless they

356
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:54.799
can get uncomfortable and be comfortable with that discomfort, they're

357
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.440
not going to grow, they're not going to progress, they're

358
00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:58.920
not going to be able to get out of their

359
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:05.240
own way, and it it their business is going to stagnate.

360
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:10.359
Which the problem with stagnating businesses is inflation. You know,

361
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.480
it's it's and maybe they can increase their prices according

362
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:18.599
to inflation and so forth, but normal, normally comfortable business

363
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:21.920
owners who don't really want to change their mindset to

364
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:23.720
grow don't even increase prices.

365
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:25.119
Mm hm.

366
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.720
So you know that because they're comfortable doing what they're doing.

367
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.200
Yeah, that you don't succeed in comfort.

368
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:37.000
That's the that's the issue. That is the issue of

369
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.000
the show. That's the problem that business owners have. There's

370
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:43.880
a lot of when when when they stop working with me,

371
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:48.000
they stop getting uncomfortable. And I tell them in advance,

372
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:51.039
I said, you're going to be uncomfortable. If you want

373
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:54.359
to grow, you're going to be uncomfortable. And uh, it's

374
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:56.480
you know, because there's things that you have to do

375
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.400
that are different than what you've been doing in order

376
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:01.960
for you. The if meant business and financial strategies that

377
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:06.599
your competition isn't doing, which is basically what we help

378
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:10.039
business owners with. In a nutshell, it's going to be

379
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:15.920
uncomfortable because it's change, and change is uncomfortable and it's

380
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:19.960
going against the grain a little bit. If you're just

381
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:23.799
copying your competition, that doesn't feel like you're going against

382
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.319
the grain. But when you do something different than your competitors,

383
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:31.720
that feels like it's going against the grain. Yeah, I

384
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:33.839
mean the mindset that we had to have when we

385
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:36.359
did a risk reversal where Skeeter ski three times you

386
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:38.119
don't like it, bring it back for a brand new pair.

387
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:42.519
That took. That took a shift in mindset because the

388
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:46.079
employees didn't like it. Their mindset was always, you know,

389
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.039
the same, and so they didn't like it. But it

390
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:52.359
was it's up to the ownership to make the decision

391
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.200
to implement something like that and take you know, take

392
00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:59.559
the calculated risk. And it's uncomfortable, and no one else

393
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:03.960
is doing and it's uncomfortable and and and there's a

394
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:05.960
school of thought out there. If no one else is

395
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:07.599
doing it, then it can't be good.

396
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:13.759
That's usually when companies come out of nowhere and blow

397
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:14.720
away everybody.

398
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:16.519
Right, that's right, you know.

399
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:21.000
And I think mindset is important in every aspect of life,

400
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:25.599
no matter what you're doing, because your mindset will also

401
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:33.000
determine what happens next, whether it be limiting beliefs or success.

402
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.279
You know, and even in simple little things that you

403
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:38.759
wouldn't think matter.

404
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:44.759
Business owner's minds are full of fear doubt, limiting beliefs,

405
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:50.319
as you mentioned excuses, so fear doubt excuses limiting beliefs.

406
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:53.200
These are all These are the mindset shifts that I

407
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:57.000
have to help business owners with in order to implement

408
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:00.200
the strategies that the competition isn't doing that it's going

409
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:02.880
to allow them to get to the next level exactly.

410
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.720
And like I'll even give a personal example of how

411
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:09.960
it works because it just came up in conversation last

412
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:13.319
night when I was at a restaurant and talking to

413
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:17.000
the people next to me because the hockey game was on.

414
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:23.519
And a few years ago, well, with my skating coach I.

415
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:28.240
Was he said something to me that I took as

416
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:32.039
a compliment that was not a compliment, and he was like,

417
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:36.920
you never fall And I'm like thanks, and he's like, no,

418
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.319
not thank you. Because the fact is is if you're

419
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.680
not falling, that means you're not taking a risk and

420
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:49.759
you're never going to get better, right, And that really

421
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.279
is true of anything you do in life, business or personal.

422
00:24:55.240 --> 00:25:00.319
That's why they always say no risk, no reward, right.

423
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:02.039
And sometimes it doesn't work out, and that's.

424
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:06.319
Okay exactly, but refresh, maybe it works out in a

425
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:09.000
better way that you take that risk, you find out

426
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:12.079
it failed, and so now you try different risks.

427
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:14.759
That does succeed, right, that's my opinion.

428
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:17.920
Yeah, no, I totally agree with that. You find, you know,

429
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:20.440
one you find out one way that doesn't work, so

430
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:23.559
that you can have another opportunity to What does I.

431
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:27.599
Mean, Let's look at a perfect example, post its. Post

432
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.279
Its are like one of the biggest mistakes that ever

433
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:33.640
happened in history that became one of the biggest successes ever.

434
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:34.960
You know.

435
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.559
Yeah, they were trying to make the strongest glue on

436
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:43.039
Earth and it ended up into post its instead of

437
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:47.480
the strongest glue on Earth. So you know, you gotta

438
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:51.440
take those risks. You look at inventors. You know Edison

439
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:55.400
he failed at like at least a thousand inventions before

440
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:56.519
he invented the light bulb.

441
00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:02.640
Believable, Yeah, I know, absolutely, And you know I forgot

442
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:06.480
how many times he failed. There's a recorded number of

443
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:07.720
how many times he failed.

444
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.240
Right, Well, look at and look at KFC.

445
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.759
Colonel Sanders went across the whole country, went to a

446
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:20.400
thousand different places and got turned down before KFC was.

447
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.759
Born one thousand and nine, to be exact.

448
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:27.920
He can see and Ray Ray Kroc another story. And

449
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:28.400
look at this.

450
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.000
You take those two people alone and they were like

451
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:38.000
sixty five sixty six at the time, which mindset would be,

452
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:41.440
You're not going to create one of the biggest successes

453
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.440
of your life at that stage in life, right, But

454
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:46.799
there it is, and it happens quite.

455
00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:54.960
Hard, that's right, colonel. So that seventy two, wow, yeah,

456
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:58.680
but he started it, but but he got tracked. His

457
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:00.880
traction began at sixty six.

458
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.519
Yep, and then Ray Kroc sixty five. I think it

459
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:08.559
was right. So there it is. You got to look

460
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:10.960
at those examples. History repeats itself.

461
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:16.160
Look at the positive examples in the mindset of the

462
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:20.039
successful examples, not the mindset of the failures.

463
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:24.559
That's right, absolutely, well, that's that's how it's done.

464
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:25.759
There it is.

465
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:28.799
How do people reach out to you from more mindset

466
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:31.240
that they need to succeed in business?

467
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:35.000
Well, they start by going to NEXTSTEPCFO dot net In

will in less than ten minutes, it will spin out

472
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.799
three strategies that your competition isn't doing. And the impact,

473
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:57.160
the financial impact that those three strategies would have along

474
00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:02.119
with a summary implementation plan and so and that's all free.
