Anger is just like running into a wall. Why am I going to keep running into a wall and pushing myself into a direction that I don't feel good from afterwards and the walls not gonna lose? Why are we losing our mental health? By looking to what others do to fill us?
Harry Turner
Consciousness is always evolving, and our present perception becomes our conscious reality. Is life happening for you? Or is it happening to you? A life of authenticity is a life of skillfully practicing your values. You're perfectly human and even when we stumble, we still stumble forward. If you seek truth and move in love and your family, I invite you to have a seat at our table. You are listening to an authentic outlier, the Nocturnal Therapist himself, Harry Turner.
Harry Turner
Welcome Welcome. Welcome to the Is That SOO? show, we have a very special show for Episode Two Season Two of the Is That SOO? show, we have a kindred spirit that I've invited on, Mr. Brandon Croucher and I've spoken to his brother a little while backstage and let me tell you, he has no issue with living in his truth, or remaining LIT for life. For those of y'all who aren't familiar with the acronym, he is definitely lit up for life. And he's definitely lit up to talk about the topics that we're going to explore today. Two main topics: mental health, and also CBD. My brother is a proponent and advocate for the usage of CBD to assist with our wellness, overall wellness, physical, mental and spiritual. My brother Croucher, he said, and I quote, I have three international healthcare awards. It is from the IFAH International Forum for Advancement in Healthcare. And so my brother's definitely - he knows the research, he has been around and he's ready to talk to us about how to remain lit or living in our truth or how his mission can assist us in continuing our wellness so that we have the energy in the strength to live in our truth and actually express ourselves in an unapologetically authentic manner, which is where life truly exists. Aight so y'all already know, y'all know how to go on a little bit about that, you know, authenticity is my thing. And for those of y'all who don't know, my mission statement is to assist those in developing the audacity to live unapologetically authentic because when you look at authenticity, and you place it in juxtaposition to what it is that you do on a daily basis, happiness, those who are pursuing happiness, happiness is defined on how closely in alignment you are with your values and what is a value? Our values are, what are when we say what is a value, something that you value is something that you deem important. And so every day I strive to remember my values and develop a plan of approach to life based off those values. Because when I do that, when I put my values first and operate from a values based place, I'm essentially putting what is most important to me at the forefront of everything and that radically changed the game ago and I'm gonna bring my brother on cuz I'm going off on a tangent here, but it's understand how radical that is to live in your truth. You know, doors begin to open that you just didn't see there. And when there are no doors, whether merely walls, you develop the courage to walk through the damn door, you know, it ain't it ain't airy, there's a difference between arrogance and confidence, you know, because arrogant is to be to be lofty for no reason whatsoever, my brother that I'm bringing on the stage just like myself, I'm not gonna go through all the letters I have have behind name just know I got them and I got those for you. So y'all know that I know something. But my brother definitely has the awards, right? So he has the information has the research and so when you hear him speak, you're hearing unadulterated confidence that comes from being LIT, living in your truth. And so without further ado, I'm bringing this Kindred brethren, on the stage, Mr. Brandon Croucher.
Brandon Croucher
Hello, Harry, it is so good to see you, brother. Thank you so much for having me on here. Just being able to connect with you and your audience. It's an honor to be here.
Harry Turner
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Man, it's an honor to have you man. So look, I'm gonna tell the people I'm putting on wax man. Now that was the what do you think about that intro brother?
Brandon Croucher
Honestly loved it. Loved it. I love how you Yeah, I'm sitting here we'll stand in here cuz I have to do the standing desk I noticed my energy doesn't flow unless I'm actually standing. And that's weird because it's a found that in a young age, my mom saw it and I just how I learned how to grow and become a man because of just little things through life. And your intro was wonderful because you were like, you felt your soul coming out through introducing and why you had, forget me, you put your passion in there of why you did this. And I'm sitting back here going I don't even care if I go on. I'm just gonna listen to preach, please tell them this. If I started running, don't worry. I'll put up a tithing basket for everybody. I loved your energy you you're bringing about people finding their inner spark, which we don't realize like, just go off my tangent for a quick second. The Bible says Whether you're Christian, you're atheist or whatever, they all talk about having a fire. And if you don't have your fire going and knowing that it's yours, you're just a pit that keeps having a fire go out and that all you do is smoke. So how about we stop smoking. And we realized that those words that we choose actions that follow those words, build, those are our building blocks for our fire. And once your fire as the heat coming out, Matthew 14 says, literally, you will be like a spark, and create a fire throughout the woods. And my thing is, as a former youth pastor, I lived with these things. And then as I grew, I started getting into Buddhism, I started getting into all religions, you can think of I wanted to know, yeah, and it was, I just, there's so many, and we're in such a small part of our world. And I had to be able to be like, why does somebody on the other side of the world not get the same level of people in the US? And how do I change that in my mind mindset, it's by being able to see that my spark really was different. And my fire is going to burn and it's going to make it my goal is to set the world on fire. My goal is to light that where you and I can literally put screens over us. And it's just our voices, and nobody has a clue who we are, or able to lead in other ways, because people are tired of the leadership that's out there. We need new leadership, we need new representation. And we need people that know who they are, not filling their pocketbooks, but filling up the people. Like I say, the church pews. That's just the example I use, but we need to fill ourselves back up and create that fire that makes everybody excited to know who we are. And we can't do that without being one another together.
Harry Turner
Yes, yes, yes. Oh, God. Oh, come on. Come on. We're gonna get, we're gonna get to the CBD for a second. But let me just let me just go back to that for a second and the power and the words that you say. So we had a great laugh. First off, let me let me digress. The reason why I asked this was was not totally so this man, you know, like, you know, says positive things about me. very flattering, and yes, flattery will get you everywhere with me. But it's not. It's not so he could be you know, flatter me. But really, it's because I recorded a hardcore dammit, five minute intro. And let me tell you that intro that y'all will not have the pleasure of seeing Oh, my goodness, that I, you know, I'm pretty sure I would have been nominated at least nominated for some sort of Oscar for the performance I put on and then I brought my brother on stage who had to let me know that. "Yeah, brother, your mute is on. So all of those, all that that you did, yeah, you don't have to bottle that up and try to get that back again." So (chuckles)...
Brandon Croucher
Well, Harry guess what, that's what life is? How many times have you stubbed your toe, and then all of a sudden, you're like, oh, and it ruins the rest of your day. Yeah. And when all you had to do is turn around and literally that that's that Stoke to toe that you stubbed is literally hurting you, and you let it take over the rest of your day. And the next thing you know, you're yelling at the dog for eating dinner too loud or yelling at the kids. Like, that's life. Like, brother, I love you. And the fact that that happened couldn't have been any better for me, because I'm sitting back here going, God, I don't know how to get his attention. I'm writing it in the private chats that I'm like, he has so much passion behind what he's saying right now. And I don't feel bad. And then in my heart, I'm like gosh, this, the universe is providing us a tool to be able to talk about and laugh with. Instead of us get upset and I just started laughing I'm like aight, when Harry gets here I'm gonna make a joke. And he's just gonna love it. And that's how life is supposed to be your, your Joe, you're gonna fall down stairs, you have to re- pick yourself up and get balanced. Because life about that.
Harry Turner
Even we stumble, even when we stumble, we still stumble forward. And that's what that's what we got to remember that the game is already rigged. And even when we stumble, we still stumble forward. Now we don't like stumbling because when we stumble, we want to appear perfect in front of everybody. So other people see us stumble, maybe other people see us stumble, but just the risk of being judged is really what people run away from. Because again, at the heart of it is our shame. And I need y'all to remember this. And I've said this before, shame, your shame that you carry that we all carry that it is not a representation of who you are, it represents who you are not, that is a false image of who you are. It's just that whatever you stare at becomes a reality. And so when you stare at your shame for so long, you confuse it with you because the mind attaches your your identity to whatever you stare at long enough assuming that you know what is healthiest for you, that you know what you're doing, and we don't know what we're doing. And the more that you do know, the more that you realize that you don't know. Okay, I...
Brandon Croucher
Go! We're gonna preach today. All right, we're gonna hand the mic back and forth. All right.
Harry Turner
You can't You can't put me on the same set, with somebody at the same energy, man when as soon as you started hitting brah yo, hey, hey, okay. All right. All right. Let's Let's Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. So check it, brother. I brought you on for this very unique topic. And my brother's mission is "I want to create a positive impact in the world with my new CBD company to help those such as with depression, anxiety, and bipolarism." He is speaking my professional language, he is speaking my professional language. So tell us about that. That mission statement bredrin.
Brandon Croucher
You got it. So, my whole life, I've been that kid that couldn't sit still. I ran around and everything. I'm one of a few people. I was very blessed at a young age my parents saw, I'm not your typical kid. And so when my mom went and started getting me into schools and stuff at third grade, I'm the kid that couldn't sit still. And they hated me. So I'm on Ritalin, Adderall, anything they can do to be like, focus you son of a gun! And I'm like, all right, I got you. So years go by, and I'm going into high school. And I'm still test anxiety, life anxiety, girls don't like a guy who's balding at 16. Okay, like it doesn't work. All right. So all these life stresses hitting me left and right, right? And then all I'm getting told is, well, you're just anxious. You're just this, well, I can't sit still in a classroom. I can't sit there and have a teacher talk down to me, not with me, because I have to understand what we're talking about. And if I don't understand, I'll ask a question. But we don't think about that. So what ended up happening later in life is I'm getting ready to take my SATs & ACT's. And my mom and dad are like look, every test he's taken in his life, he's had to be removed from the classroom because of test anxiety. He sits in a room alone and he talks and I literally, I will stand at a desk, read the question out loud and write the answers. Okay, so SAT's ACT's come out, my anxiety is through the roof. I bombed them, cause I had to stay in the same room. It then I turn around, and I'll tell you this, I had to fight tooth and nail to be able to know that my life was different. And my mom had to teach me that because when this happened, all of a sudden, we had to go to the State and say, Well, he's got he's better than this, these these scores he had, they don't represent his grade point average, it doesn't look like who he really is because he's always been able to do it in a different way. So I had to take the SAT's ACT's a second time, but with a lawyer, and the lawyer is just sitting there in an office. And I had to answer all these questions from SAT's, a ACT's, all hours of testing, standing in this lawyers office, nervous as hell. But the thing that was different, was my test score was triple that of when I was sitting in the other room, and I saw that, like you watched my old school people be like, oh, okay, maybe this is different than college kept doing. Then I get to my Masters, which I'll tell you straight out right now, I never was going to get a master's degree. I never thought I was smart enough to get one, I never thought I was good enough to get one. And that was me as you were just saying it looking at myself in my ego getting in the way of my mirror, my ego getting in the way. So like, life comes at you hard. And after I got my master's degree, and my bachelor's and my associates in sign language and many other things that are just pieces of paper now to me, but I never thought I'd get. And the truth is, it's all because my mom saw that first spark and wouldn't let me put my spark out. And I look at this as my company needs to be able to bring that out in my whole life. So Delight Cafe is a company that focuses on bringing the calm, balance and delight to everybody's life. Because when we stub our toes and the anxiety of life kicks in, the best way to get back to it is just add a pack of 15 milligram odorless, colorless, tasteless, full spectrum CBD product, the only one in the world that can actually testify and say we've gone through what the FDA would actually want us to do without an FDA approval packaged in a Crystal Light facility. I see you waving at me. Come on here. You talk to me, my friend. What do you need?
Harry Turner
I just have one question for you, sir. Is that So, is that so? Sir? Is that so? Yes, I'm gonna need you to just tell me. Okay, so tell me a little bit more about this research behind this. Like, why should people look for this product?
Brandon Croucher
So when you look at CBD products, what's the first thing you hear? oils, lotions, gummies, things like that, right? And then when you hear gummies it's like, oh, your neighbor's cousin sister all of a sudden is making her own gummies and that's how you're going to try. But the thing is, you don't know what the hell they're putting in there. They might actually be putting cannabis in there. Let's go to the oils. All right. Why is the United States government set up and I don't even mean just mean the US This is a worldwide thing where the testing has no idea what they're actually doing. When you say CBD to THC, you know that they just know whether you're going to pass or fail a drug test, but they don't know what they do. So how are we going to sit here and convict people tell people they're wrong for what they're doing and that this is a bad thing when they don't even know what it is, but our forefathers were smoking it, our forefathers were doing it. And let's say you're a person who's in church, okay? Just because we've talked about church, and I see the soul inside here, he has a good soul. So Harry's out here, out goes to church, and let's just use the dog ate his favorite pair of shoes before they left for church, and they look so good with his suit. 100 he's gonna have a bad day, that's worse than not having an intro that he worked so hard on. Then you turn around and he adds a pack of Delight, literally to his coffee, or puts it on top of his cereal. Anything you want, you can be out in public just open a pack of pour it on your french fries, or in your ketchup stir with a french fry, and you just made yourself CBD ketchup? Why is that essential? Because when you know you're getting the full spectrum product, you're getting the full benefits of the plant, not just the isolate where you're isolating just CBD because then you're not getting what all the plant can do for you. You're not just getting a little bit of the broad side of everything, you're getting the full thing you want. Because it's your body. It's your life and it's your shoes that were eaten, Harry, like the dog instead of kicking the dog just open a pack of Delight, re-find your calm to be rebalanced and be the Harrythat everybody knows and bring that Delight that you bring.
Harry Turner
(applause) I feel the spirit, I got to do it again. I got to do it again. One more time. Okay, okay, okay. Hey, I feel it man. I bring that delight that you bring man that delight so So tell me about that Delight or the light, or the light that you're seeking for others to bring, or through your company to help connect CBD to bringing out that light?
Brandon Croucher
Easy. Ready? So when I started this company, the day I launched two weeks later, the United States government was like, hey, Brandon launched a company that's going to change the world. We need to lock everybody down around the whole world. I don't know why you guys all had to suffer because of me wanting to do something good. But we all suffer together. Why do I? Why do I see CBD being a thing because right now we are in a war, we are at spiritual war. We are mental war, we are emotional, where we are letting our emotions overtake what is going on because of what the TV the news, no matter what channel you watch is telling, we're waking up and picking up our phone first thing and comparing ourselves to every body else by going on social media without realizing it, which is screwing up who we are mentally, we are not finding ourselves. And so for me when 2020 came out, I started to see how everybody around me was getting angrier and angrier. And I was like, Is this me or what's going on? And I realized it was the universe realigning Brandon to who he's supposed to be, not just the guy that created a product that took him a year to get all the stuff done and the packaging and the legal and stuff. The CBD was literally going to have to be my life. Now I look at this and say, how is that your life Brandon? It's because anxiety, anger, all these things are inside every single one of us. And when we wake up and look towards others, not even realizing we're hurting ourselves. That's where we start off by stubbing our toe. And it didn't hurt bad enough that we realize we created any damage inside. But when you keep stubbing that toe, you get a deep bruise. Why are we deep bruising our mental health by looking to what others do to fill us? And for me, that was a hard, hard truth. So it starts with going back to finding my calm. And that means anything goes wrong, I can't get mad. And I'll tell you this, Harry, I was known for, I'm the nicest, quietest, most polite gentleman you'll ever meet, and then you piss me off, and I will let you know it in the worst ways.
Harry Turner
Is that so?
Brandon Croucher
So that's the thing. How fast do you get mad at something? And I realized I was like, living my life. Water boils at 211 degrees. Why am I living my life as a body of water? That is 78% water my mind's 90% water. That means I'm living as a pot of water that is boiling and living at 210 degrees and could spill over at any time. Who the hell wants to follow a leader like that? Nobody. Why? Because the truth is when we have that anxieties, we're putting our our excuse my language but our sh*** on one another. Instead of representing that positive how many times Harry, have you gone out and you're in public? at the gas station mask on if you needed blah, blah, blah, and it's raining and the person in front of you goes oh my god, I wish it would just stop raining. Why do we connect through negativity? Why do we connect through an improper way of looking at one another. The minute we walk in a door, we're already creating judgment of everybody around us. But we're not thinking of ourselves. Or we're thinking, we are the kings shit, and we're walking in like, we're the best. And then you're looking down on people. I want to go, I can go all day, buddy. I'm sorry. You just got shut me up.
Harry Turner
Oh, no, no, no, you're speaking my language, bredrin is speaking. So I'm, I'm appreciative for what you're putting out there, because I'm picking everything up, you know? And so you asked the question, why is that we connect with the negative. And that's because that's all we choose to see within ourselves. That's where we set our sights at. You see, being a preacher's kid. Growing up in church, I learned, I learned how to make sure that I praise God and that I lift God apart. In that process, I did not learn how to praise myself, and how to lift myself up. And so there was a healthy dosage of self hatred that developed, you know, in that space. And so many of us are waiting for this miracle to happen in our lives, not realizing that we were called to be the miracle because we were all created to be many creators, we're always in the process of creating something. And so whatever you fill yourself up with spills over into the outside, which is why again, when I asked you for a cup of sugar, I have to go, "Hey, do you have a cup of sugar, and then can I borrow it?" you see, you have to first possess that thing that I seek to come and they are not commandeer, but borrow from you. And so I cannot extend them what I do not have and so when I don't have love for myself, if I hate myself, then of course I hate you.
Brandon Croucher
Absolutely.
Harry Turner
But if I learn how to love myself, then I'm going to love you. The reason why me and bredrin can talk the way that we talk right now, you would have met me him would have met at a different period in our lives, men who may have locked eyes and then just immediately started fighting, I would not doubt that whatsoever. Just because just because we were bored and angry and had too much to drink that night. And it just happened to collide into each other's path. No other reason other than that, because we had so much aggression and anger and self hatred inside us that it needed to go somewhere that cannot, it cannot stay bottled up. And it represents that depression, that sadness, those insecurities, that shame that we carry, it comes out in aggression, it comes out in aggression, those who are the hardest to love are those who need it the most. And so when I hear my bredrin talk, the way that he talked right now, about the journey that he's went through and how to become lit for life, I have no choice at that same time to feel that intensity of my own flame, my own inner Phoenix, you know, just just applauding you for living the life and being unapologetically authentic, because I know there's controversy around CBD, you know, and so so so brother, real quick for the people because I know everybody has this question. What is the difference between CBD and cannabis? aka Mary Jane, aka that gas.
Brandon Croucher
I love it. So here's the thing. If I, you're married, correct, am I right Harry. Yeah, so yeah. What is your wife's favorite flower?
Harry Turner
Don't you dare do this to me? Magnolia Magnolia. All right,
Brandon Croucher
Perfect. I'm gonna play this a different way then because I don't want to get you in any trouble. I use a lily for my example whenever I don't want to get anybody in trouble. Okay, how many different versions of the lily are there? Thousands there's so many. There's Tiger Lily. There's this Lily. There's barely I go to the flower stores for my significant other and I turn around and I don't know what they want. They said they like lilies. Which kind of lilies? Well that's what it's like when you go and you want to try to learn about cannabis and CBD. And what that what Mary Jane and what's that gas and stuff like that. The thing is CBD is from the hemp plant, which is also in the family of the cannabis plant, which is where Mary Jane or marijuana. So what's the difference? It's the cannabinoids that the plant actually produces. And each strain produces a different set of cannabinoids that goes from calming with hemp to, or my favorite industrial hemp, which would be something we don't smoke. But it's something that's used to create ropes that's used to create biodegradable materials, that's used to be able to create paper, that so many other benefits to this earth and absorb CO2 pollutions, but we won't go that way. So then you go to the cannabis plant, and you hear about people being all too high on too much THC and stuff like that. But what is that? And then what is the cannabinoids that are being produced for one. So the difference between hemp and the cannabis plant is the fact that they're, or the marijuana plant, because they're both a cannabis plant just like a lily. So next time your wife says go, like you're going to go get flowers. Ask the florist. She says she likes lilies. They're going to show you at least four different versions, because of the fact that there's so many, and that's what the cannabis plant is. And that's where the studies need to come we need to take 96% of the United States money that for cannabis goes into funding, "What is wrong with cannabis?" compared to going into "What can do better with it?" Why aren't we having studies that show that maybe the hemp plant is producing more CBD, but the marijuana plants producing more THC? What happens to all the other cannabinoids along the way? And why do we not want to use that for our bodies? And why are we finding and science right now that our bodies are producing some of these cannabinoids? So I'll show you what I mean by this. CBN. Do you know what CBN is?
Harry Turner
Mm-mm. I thought that was a station.
Brandon Croucher
Oh, yeah, that's CBS. You know, the Caucasian broadcasting station. Sorry, that's, that's a joke I do to my dad, because he always has CBS on Sorry, sorry, I had to get that out. So CBN is the cannabinoid that is the final cannabinoid produced in the hemp plant, so you can remove the plant two weeks later. And that's how you'll get CBN when it's drying out. What's interesting about CBN is your body produces CBN Do you know when your body produces CBN?
Harry Turner
I have no idea.
Brandon Croucher
Right before you fall asleep, it's the chemical your body produces help your brain fall asleep. So imagine end of the day, you're not able to fall asleep, you can open up a pack of delight, because I'm actually creating a CBN product. I have a THC product for when it is legal nationwide and all that, all with packets to help you know what you're gonna want. And I want people to know what they're getting, compared to just telling them hey, here's another CBD company. Eff that I don't, I'll be dead serious. Everybody says, Oh, it's about the money. That's why you did this. Bulls***, I did this for my mom. My mom who's taking 12 pills a day just for her restless legs and sitting in church going God help me but the pharmacist or the doctors are going "Oh, Nope. Here's the way you got to help you". No , I got tired of that I came from this earth. I saw this. I preached in churches, and I hit a point where I needed to find what's gonna be the other side. And Gosh, darn it after all my other swearing, all this comes back to what CBD in this plant and this this cannabinoids can do. So imagine you needing to sleep. Do you ever take melatonin? I hate it. Do you know why? Because the tests show that people with mental health illnesses like me, I actually do have bipolar two disorder. So I have ups and downs. But I do not have I have to learn how to balance that as someone who's lived his whole life like that. But CBN, at the end of my day, I can open a pack, pour it on top of a glass of wine. And I will help my body fall asleep naturally compared to a melatonin where I wake up the next day with what I call a melatonin hangover or depression. And I want to help people be able to break that naturally for themselves.
Harry Turner
Okay, all right. Can you hear me brother?
Brandon Croucher
I can hear you perfectly fine. You sound like Denzel Washington.
Harry Turner
This guy this guy. flattery will get you everywhere my friend. I'm telling you oh my goodness. Hey, I'm gonna have to start selling your stuff after. Wow, look. CBN brother, Again. I know you just spoke on it. But just a little bit more for the people. What is absolutely,
Brandon Croucher
so CBN Alright, I'm gonna have some fun with you. And I'm gonna drive you nuts because they're CBN. They're CBG. There's CBO. There's, there's the CBN-A, they're CBN-A-1 there. CBN-A-B-2. So there's a lot of cannabinoids and we're finding there's Delta 8, delta 9, like stuff like that. What the hell is he talking about? I'm speaking another language, right? These are all different cannabinoids that we are now finding out in 2021, after about 100 years of our forefathers, using it for BS and not doing good things with it. And now is a criminal thing. Now, what do we do with these these cannabinoids we're finding in science are actually in our bodies. And we're actually producing them from CBN to help us fall asleep to CBG that is used right now. If you can get the isolate of CBG, which I'd be happy to help people get. You could literally take a pack, pour it in and you know veterans are known for having the PTSD. CBG is literally being shown left and right to help with PTSD and calming people and bringing them back to themselves faster than any other medicine out there. CBN is being shown to help people fall asleep. So imagine you haven't that really sure day. You know, you didn't get the intro. You want it up. You poured your heart into it. You stubbed your toe after that. And then you have two more interviews right? End of the day, your mind just won't stop. You're ridiculing yourself and hurting yourself over everything you did. You're sitting there going I know we did good, right? But I tried my best but I still suck. Let's CBN CBG CBN puts Delight inside your drink. Hell have an ice cream. Open the pack up, sprinkle a little bit of the light with the CBN in it, fall asleep naturally and be able to help build your best.
Harry Turner
Brother, brother brother okay, CBN and PTSD w two forensics WT forensics. So what the forensics man, so I need to hear about these forensics on this. So PTSD so, I've said it before in a previous show, and I don't know if I was I don't know if I put that on my profile when we contacted each other, but I have a diagnosis of PTSD as well as you know, I've done time I've done time as I was doing time but you know, I served in a correctional facility as a mental health clinician, also different various things in life so you know, friends suicides and stuff like that murders you know, and stuff like that, you know, brother I don't let me say as far as being sorry. And I say my heart mourns for the other when when things like this happened as far as being sorry, I because I don't have the ability to judge what is sorry and what is not. I just choose it as pain. You know, and and I know that pain, most certainly when you lean into your discomfort and you become lit for life. Pain has this revolutionary impact on you where it becomes a teacher. My favorite author, Khalil Gibran, says pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding is to build a potion by which to dock it within his or her sick self. So drink a potion and peace and tranquility. And so now I see my pain as not less wondrous than my joy, you know, the sweet ain't sweet without the bitter, but I do appreciate and I will accept your heartfelt sorry's, but those PTSD those events, so complex PTSD, right. And so as you're mentioning, of course, now I'm being a little bit more intrigued now a little bit I know a little bit about CBD, of course. But you know, I mean, talk to me, like, how does that assist with PTSD or complex PTSD?
Brandon Croucher
So PTSD, your mind is actually chemicals going crazy. And it's putting you in a mindset that's different than where you actually are. You're going back to fights, anger, childhood trauma, maybe, okay, it's your mind going there. Now, what does this do and it's actually just so unclear. CBN is the one who helps you fall asleep. CBG is the one for PTSD just so I make sure I say the right ones, because my heart wouldn't be able to handle it. And I want people to Google if they want. So PTSD, the CBG being that different cannabinoids, I don't picture you smoking. Alright, Harry, I don't picture you out here, you and I go in for a walk, I don't think you and I are going to smoke a joint together just being honest. Okay. And if we are cool, brother, I will be there in a heartbeat. Don't worry, I love it like puff puff, pass brother. But most people do not want to smoke. They don't trust the oils. Because what we're hearing on the news, they don't trust other things. So CBG, being able to take it and put it in your drink to your ice cream to whatever is helping you, when you eat it, slow your brain down from that moment of pure chaos in your brain and being able to help you get back to you. Why does it do that? It's because our body is producing chemicals that we've been removing for decades and generations now. And those angers that we've had or now quicker than we've had in the past, because past traumas are coming back faster, and our patterns are having good time, hard time changing. Being someone that's come out of everything you've been through. You've literally seen yourself be in, like you said, painful situations, sometimes in life. Why ever had that smell of something, and then all of a sudden, your grandma's house, or all of a sudden you're walking into like deja vu? Well, our minds do that to us in so many ways. But for a PTSD person, it takes them usually to a darker place, to a place that hurts. So instead of being a smell, or trust me, I'm with you on this, I know what you're saying. Because like that PTSD is something that you live with the rest of your life. So you don't want to be in public. And then the random stranger that walks behind you smells like something that triggers you into a moment where you're like, I need to get the hell out of here. Imagine being able to rebalance yourself. That's what I want to provide. I don't want people to be popping pills every day. I want people to balance themselves and know that they can find that spark in them without having to look for everybody else. And that's all I try to do is bring that and I have to live that and God, does that get hard being person out front because I'm the guy who's run restaurants and things like that I ran the third largest Starbucks in the United States and I'll be honest with you, that's actually where I came up with this idea. You want to know why? Because I I'm doing third shift at the start at this Starbucks Cleveland Clinic Starbucks. I have more staff working third shift than the next seven stores combined have during their peak time in the morning. That's how busy this store was. Okay. I literally in there when I in my mind is not with, I could see I was not in a good headspace. I'm making great money. I have a fiance that's in love with me my ex girlfriends, literally a nurse at this hospital. So it's scary as hell I got to hide. But like, I literally saw every doctor, every nurse, every patient, opening packets of sugar stevia truvia. And something in me goes, why do you go in your car at the end of work? And you have to go smoke something to relax yourself. And that's not what your mom would you, your dad would do. That's not what Harry would do. And I didn't even know Harry yet. But it wasn't there. And I watch everybody's put something in their drink. And I'm like, that's how CBD needs to be done. I literally...
Harry Turner
look, no, wait, I'm gonna give you the single for a second the shot the single shot that surprised you, a bit earlier, because my battery's going dead. So I'm gonna let you talk to the people real quick, as I put up this question.
Brandon Croucher
So connect your personal brand mission to being 'LIT' living in truth for life. So as you guys have heard my story, I'm bipolar, all these other things, from good jobs, to masters to award awards. It all started with the spark of anger deep down inside as a kid feeling neglected, feeling unappreciated, feeling completely lost in life, which so many of us do. And the thing was, while anger, anxiety, they provide energy for us in different ways. I didn't want to keep pushing myself into that one, because anger is just like running into a wall. Why am I going to keep running into a wall and pushing myself into a direction that I don't feel good from afterwards, and the walls not gonna lose? So how do I switch this, I started rebalancing my life by starting by calming myself, I didn't let anybody around me get me mad. I didn't let anybody around me influence me. So when you have people who like to fight around you all the time and verbally know how to say things to get under your skin, they get they poke you just the right way with words, that would make me want to fight and be like, Get the hell away from me. Now, I needed to break that. Because that meant I was letting somebody else have control of my life. So I brought that column back to keep me balanced. Why do I need to be balanced? Because if I'm balanced in a room, just like you, just like Harry, just like everybody, if everybody stays balanced, stays calm. Even no matter how far you disagree on each other. Guess what, you're going to be able to have a conversation and agree to disagree and end in a delight. You don't need all these other areas of life that people pull out. Because the minute somebody starts pulling out one political, political side over another, to one race is better than another, you know that they're not on the same plane as you because people want to build the best with people that have the same flame. Why do you think we get along so well, because we literally just met before the show. And we turn around and our sparks are a fire that we want to help people. And for me, I'm sitting here listening, and I'm loving everything you're saying, brother, like you are teaching people, why living in their truth is essential. And I love how you do this for people in such a great way. So for me, I'm glad you let me come on here. And while I have just a packet, and while I might have awards, I'm just a Boggs. I'm just a ball of Caucasian dude who's about to be in his 40s that looks at life and says, How do I leave my legacy? without worrying about money? Because I have to be honest, I don't give two craps about money. I could have a billion dollars in my bank account right now. But guess what, that billion dollars would be going back into finding ways to help more people and be funding things to be able to get back because we're missing so much in our society. So
Harry Turner
So let me just jump in real quick and let me just say that you are not just a guy who you are is exactly who you just said you were the guy who wants to be that philanthropist who desires who's so passionate about this that you're willing to push it to the limit to the extent that you do whatever it takes to help out as many people as possible heal and peep so many people out there are suffering and that's why there's this wave of us coming to the forefront now you know, many of us you know, they call us thought leaders they thought they call us a social influencers not a social influencer but thought leaders or whatever you know, I don't I don't really care about the title but similar to the My brother here. I have letters on the back my name, you know, I could I could put the the cognitive behavioral group therapies by it, I could put the certified clinical trauma professional by it, I could put the heart center hypnotherapist behind it, but they're licensed clinical social worker behind it, or the certified mental health integrative medicine provider. I can put down those letters but those letters I Can't take those letters with me you see those letters? Because still, I'm only leasing those letters, despite all of the knowledge that I have, I'm still only leasing those letters. And if it can be taken from me, then it's not for me, because it's not of me. And so this what I have those letters That's for you. Yeah, I did a lot of hard work to get here. But that's for you. And so that you see me in a true light in my true authentic light and says, This guy knows something. And I do. I do know, I don't know everything. But I know a little bit about something, you know, and a little something that I know is about how to remain lit for life, or how to live in your truth. And you do so by having conversations like this. And you find out what other people who are lit for life who have passion, who you see, this passion is just being exuded through their pores, you link up with them, and you understand their code. And what you realize is those of us that were lit, we understand exactly what the shadow is. And so let me just speak to that shadow part for a second. After this right here after the show, even though this this shows going to be broadcast later, after this show, I'm going straight into Clubhouse where I will do my LIT series living through series doing Shadow Work with Nocturnal. There is a reason why there is a reason why there's a reason why I'm doing this series Shadow Work, Shadow Work, you know now, my faith as of my faith, I am a Christian may be more of a you know, an unorthodox more mystic Christian, but I'm still I'm I'm a deeply spiritual person, but understand that I that the religious beliefs that I espouse this Christianity, right, my Christianity, now this ain't Christianity that the Klan worships. So understand that, that too that they were not all the same. All right. Even though that is that is the case, there are certain truths that are universal truths that go across the board for all of us. And I've said it before, and I'll say it again, be you Christian, and you say you reap, what's your suit, you reap what you sow, or be you Buddhist, and you say is karma, or be you say I can't stay in any form of religion and you say I'm a pure atheist, I can't say anything but science. Well, Newton's third law of Sir Isaac Newton's third law firm of thermodynamics states where every action has an equal and opposite reaction, understand that these are universal truths, there are certain truths that you just can't get away from. And those of us who are walking on this spiritual journey, this enlightened path, we understand that, you know, and so it's about living... Look, there's a difference again, between merely existing and actually living for life you can exist and remain in your fears, you can exist in hell, and many of us choose to remain in hell, because the mind in its insanity, it would much rather feel safe. And what's familiar instead of going over here, where you can have much greater because it's unfamiliar, anything that's unfamiliar to the mind, it runs from so it's fear that causes us to hide our light. But when you decide to face your fear, understand that freedom exists on the other side of the feet of your fears, understand that your fears have no idea how strong you are, understand that your mind has no idea how strong you are, because you don't know how strong you are. So everything that you know about yourself just based off of everything that has already happened, not based off of everything that also will happen. And like Lao Tzu said, I have to let go of who I am so that I become who I might be you don't know who that "might be" is yet. All right.
Brandon Croucher
Keep goin! Preach, I'm not stopping you. Welcome - Welcome to bald guys hour. (laughing)
Harry Turner
Hey, yeah, look, look, brother, look. Oh, man, you see, you put your you put two flames in the same building this, you know, I mean, that's just what's gonna happen. You know, that synergy, bro. That synergy, man. And I'm just feeding off with like the Shadow Work. Because literally that shadow work that I do and why it's so important. I even have an e-book now on choosing it's called 'Choosing to Heal', you know, choosing to heal, doing the Shadow Work, choosing to heal. And so in this e-book, I'm literally talking about that the whole subject, the whole topic is about repressed emotions, and how we take our pain and we suppress it. But because we decide to not look at it, because it's something something bad happened that we don't understand. And that's something that we don't understand. We label that thing shame. And because shame makes us feel so yucky and icky. And we can't believe that we were in that space. We put it in this blind spot thinking that it has no impact on you. But if you don't deal with your trauma, then your trauma deals with you. What happens in his blind spot is that when that trigger happens, you become possessed by that pain. You become consumed with anger ergo I just flash out you be consumed with depression, ergo. I don't know why I can't just get out of the bed. I'm in the bed for weeks and months at a time. This is how repression impacts you. I mean, certainly many other things that that could also play a role with it. But when we repress when we don't deal with our stuff, yes. It deals with us. Remember this even our indecision is a decision within itself that has a consequence. Okay? Yes. All right, Brother, brother, brother, brother.
Brandon Croucher
I had fun with you. Right. from the get go before we even hit record. I was having fun. You knew this was gonna be amazing. So what, Is that So? you didn't you don't say
Harry Turner
Is that So? you know? Hey, so so so so check it out, we'll put the I'm putting the links down at the bottom brother. And and man, it is such a pleasure to have you on the show man I love when when when I when those kindred spirits, that's what I put it out there like I'm not I put, I put that message out yet out there looking for guests to talk about holistic wellness and really just to talk about life in general. And I didn't know who I was going to get. But I wasn't worried about it and see that also, when you were talking about thought words and deeds, you didn't word it like that, but this is what I also teach, you know, I have also have online course coming out, you know, this month,
Brandon Croucher
You just don't see me all the time I see how it is.
Harry Turner
Brother, brother, I'm telling you look, the LIT Factors coming out man, and again, the LIT factor, how to live in your truth developing a P.o.A, not a plan of action, but a plan of approach because first you got to understand how to approach life before you decide on anything. Yes, you understand that it's thought that you know, we do a lot of getting throughout the day, right? We got to get up in the morning, we got to get up on time, we got to get our teeth brush. If we have kids, we got to get the kids ready, then we got to make sure that we got gas in the car, we got to get gas, we don't get that and we got to get there on time, then we got to get the work done. And we got to meet these obligations. And then we got to go to lunch to come back to it again. And then we got to go home or get groceries on the way with all of this getting, how much understanding or innerstanding of ourselves have we gotten throughout the day, while we're achieving everybody else's objectives for our lives, just so that we can maintain our existence because hey, we got to pay the bills, right? We don't have time for all this doing the Shadow Work and repress work and all this other stuff, we got to pay those bills. So while you are attending everybody else's yard and building up everybody else's kingdom, who's tending to yours? Who's building up yours, who is pouring into you the way that you pour into all these other people in their obligations? That's what I'm saying. And it's not about not doing things for other - No, no, but you learn that when you treat yourself the right way, then you truly learn how to treat other folks. Then you learn how to connect with the right folks. And you know how to how to communicate and make things transform, because in that space of synergy, things just happen. You know, just like what's happening right here on this show, you know, yes, but you got to have faith. And again, I am preaching it. No, no, I have to say no sermon, and I like that. What I'm saying the faith that I'm talking about faith in yourself, thank you. We don't have any faith in ourselves, we doubt ourselves and when people, when -- and that's the reason Let me tell you. Okay, now I got to go into spiel real quick. And this is the reason why it's so traumatic to be a preacher's kid is because we have an obsession for idols. We need people to display the perfection that we seek but believe we will never have and it's true. You never will be perfect, but you are perfect imperfection. The goal is not to be perfect. The goal here is to discover who you are. That's that's your truth. That's the goal. You know, like, you gotta have the right target. Okay. All right. Brother, you talk. You talk to the people.
Brandon Croucher
Harry, wait, you're right. But you know what, Harry, you could Google you right now Harry Turner. And guess what? Let's say there's 10 of you out there in the United States alone? No, that's my thing. Just because the Yellow Pages just because Google Facebook tells you this. It doesn't mean s*** I'm sitting with Harry with Harry Turner. I'm you're sitting with Brandon Croucher. I don't get to s*** who other people are. Because guess what? That moment that you get to connect with people. That's our moment. You and I right away. We came in at both of us. The funniest thing is, do you remember how this started? Yeah, we both apologize to one another for different things came in with this like vulnerability of understanding the other person's side. And that was when I'm like, this dude's not just going to be a good dude, this is going to be great. I want to learn from him. I'm going to listen. And that's the thing is how many people don't actually see themselves but they're vulnerable. And they're picking up everybody else's problems because they can't know their own. That's the thing I have to say is I I live in the vulnerability it looks like, but the thing is, that's my way of helping everybody else show theirs, I'm on the master of the mirrors. I can literally bond with so many people. But the thing is, I know who I am. And when I hear, see, or feel in my gut knowing that something's not right. I know that's the sign from the universe telling me it's not for me. And that's been the hardest thing for me to learn is those boundaries. Life in a vulnerable state needs boundaries. And without boundaries, you're just going to be vulnerable to everybody.
Harry Turner
So one of the things you'll learn in my course if you take it the LIT factor is that there is a difference. It's you know now right now, and I understand why you say brother because in the mental health industry, this is what you get with with me the nocturnal therapist, and the mental health industry right now it's you need boundaries, but I have a different - I'm not opposed, in opposition to that. But for those who struggle with the concept of establishing boundaries, I'd say, seek not to establish boundaries, but rather move towards governance because it's what it's truly what's needed. You see my property lines that distinguishes the boundaries of my yard. But again, my property lines will never stop anybody from allowing their dog to come crap in my yard. They just let me know what your they crapped on which just so happens to be mine. But what will stop somebody from crapping on my yard is if I maybe stand out there or maybe put a sign out or maybe take take the bag of s*** and smash it on their front door. I would never do that. But I'm just saying there are things that I could do that would dissuade that from happening again. But that requires governance. So if you have an issue with establishing boundaries, I would say I would, I would encourage you to explore the method of nocturnal therapists when it comes down to having governance. And what you'll see is that our entire way of being as Americans are built on the same principles I'm talking about. That's why we have the federal state and local government. And it is these governmental agents that does the governing and the protection is governing certain properties. Why? Why do we have boundaries between Louisiana and Texas, it's not to protect ourselves from anything, it's not to keep Louisiana from going out of bounds is just to let us know, hey, this is my yard right here. And those government officials say this is my territory for me to govern. And so for those of us who struggle with establishing boundaries, I would say, just know, acknowledge where your boundaries are, what yard is yours, and then tend to that, and don't let nobody come around there trying to tend your yard uninvited, you do that right now. And you'll you'll see 40% of your time freed up, if you just acknowledge what yard is yours. And then you choose to be courageous in governing that because you can't sit inside the house that you plan on governing your yard. No, you got to step out. And so that requires some courage and courage is the ability to move forward in spite of being afraid. So even though you got your fears about being assertive in governing your yard, you do so anyway, you don't have you have not been given a spirit of fear, you can't operate in fear and remain lit for life. You know, in any in any decision, we're choosing between love and fear, faith and fear, our truth in fear. And so understand, anytime you operate out of fear, even if it's for something a good reason. You went, you went astray. You went astray. It's not you went off path, you know, brother look this last, I got three minutes, and I look at man, three minutes. And you it's all you I'm done. I'm muting my mic, man. It's all you say, when we say, Man, if you want to tell the people about the product a little bit more, a little bit more, if you want to, if you you know, why don't
Brandon Croucher
I tell them the goals and the vision?
Harry Turner
Please, please, let's do that. Let's do it.
Brandon Croucher
Thank you so much. Thank you. So my vision for this is, as I as you heard me say, You're good. I'll talk you could sit here and nod will look like that, like I was doing. Like, I want to be able to help us when I say I believe that together, we can change the world. I mean it but I don't know if many people know what that really means. It means whether you hear about global warming, to a vaccine to anxieties to religious purposes, we all share one thing, and that's this earth. And if we burn this up, if we destroy this, guess what? We're not going nowhere. So for me, I want to work with farmers. So farmers can grow the hemp, absorb the CO2 pollutions collect the tax benefits that come from absorbing CO2. So just a quick statistic that this is on. This is on the freakin government's website, just to be honest, the hemp plant absorbs one hemp plant absorbs three times the amount of CO2 pollution that 10 acres of trees does. That is on the United States government's like pharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, sorry, farming websites, they teach them this and then they don't want us to grow it yet tickets or tickets to get it. So my thing is I want to grow so we absorb those CO2's. But here's what is the excuse, oh, people are gonna go and they're gonna start stealing the weed, they're gonna think it's something that they could steal and go. So find them. Let's take the people that are wrongfully convicted in prisons, and let's have them be the ones that are going in there. And let's have them help them teach us how to grow what they did, because they were growing in a lot worse conditions than the Sun and Earth. They were growing it in basements, they were out there figuring out how to sell it and why things people and I mean this for every race, do not think I'm putting one out there people because the truth is, the way we change the world is drop the effin race in your inner eyes and start seeing the person see the heart and know that together is how we actually grow. And I say that as someone who -- I feel like it's the Oscars and being pulled off stage. I talk too much. But the truth is, that's just phase one for me. I want to be able to create these things that open doors where when I go to the my next level, I'm not just taking people with me like you, I'm not just taking everybody else, I want to go to that next level where we evolve, we grow, we keep getting better, seeing the future together, we're not seeing the future is us versus them.
Harry Turner
Yes, because as long as we remain divided like that what that truly represents is a projection of being divided within oneself. And a house divided cannot stand. And that's why we suffer so much, we're so divided, and that the physical is no more than a manifestation of the spiritual. And so understand that this division that we have, it truly is a reflection of this division that we have within ourselves. Because we haven't fully grabbed hold of that full truth of ourselves. And when I say full truth, I mean real truth, not that it's true that I enjoy wearing teal, that is true for me in his place of "is-ness", you know, in my human experience, but what also is true for me is that I have this heart, the desire that I want to build is the biggest meditation center and provide the best type of holistic services on this side of the country, you know, period, in the country, period, you know, I want to, I want to be a philanthropist when I go out, and I'm just handing money out to different business owners because it's not that we don't have the brilliance is that the people that have the brilliance oftentimes are not given the opportunities. And so since they have no support, they have no legs for that table to stand on. And, and I understand that, because I'm getting in front of mud myself, you know, everything I'm doing right now cost me you know, I mean, I haven't, I haven't gotten any residuals yet, you know, but what fuels me is this passion, I told my clients, you know, in my therapy practice, if the day the day that that I begin that, that the residual start to roll in, you don't have to worry about co pays, and nothing else anymore, because this is what I love to do, y'all would get this for free. And I mean, from the heart, because I want to see people whole, I want people lit up and living in their truth, because that is the only way to truly experience life. In the fullness of life. I don't want you to continue to see black and white. There's so many colors. There's so many more colors under the sun, you know.
Brandon Croucher
Take the glasses off and see everything. Those glasses they have nowadays, for people that are colorblind, and they put them on and then they start crying, and they have all these tic tocs and YouTube videos about it. How about we do that in our hearts? Take your glasses off, put on the glasses and see everybody.
Harry Turner
And I gotta say this real quick, because the time I'm looking at the time, I know you got you gotta get I gotta go find you on clubhouse. Yes, yeah, and I gotta remember my name is I'm pretty sure was the nocturnal therapist on it. But look, I'm new to it. I'm new to it, man.
Brandon Croucher
Me too. Just so you know, don't ask me anything there.
Harry Turner
My brother said, We came here we both were vulnerable. We both thought that we were holding each other up, you know, and I'm thinking as a host him as a guest. He's like, Oh, you know, the normal human s*** that we think about? Right? That doesn't matter at all. Just Just the mind judging itself, right? Us judging ourselves, right. And so we had this vulnerable moment that even though we could have projected, right, you know, and that's what you do. Whenever you're, you're insecure. And you know, you don't want to you want to look perfect, you project onto other people. Well, you know, I don't know what was going on on your end, you know, but I've been ready, you know, when you did this, and that if people come up with excuses, right. But we were vulnerable, two people who were vulnerable to each other. And we both have love in our heart. The problem that I find, and this is even though vulnerability is is an essential ingredient to being authentic. The problem is, is that many people don't feel safe enough because we're so cruel to each other. There's so much cruelty out there in the world. And if you if you don't believe me, all I want you to do is look in the mirror for five minutes. Write down whatever thoughts you have about yourself. Look in the mirror for five minutes right now. That's that cruelty I'm talking about. That's why I can't be vulnerable with you. How can I trust you with me if I can't trust you with you?
Brandon Croucher
Yeah, yes. Great. I need that button. That cheers preach.
Harry Turner
Look, I didn't mean I mean, I'm done. I'm done. I'm seriously done, man. I mean, I gotta go on clubhouse, but I gotta go clubhouse but look, man,
Brandon Croucher
live there. We'll both keep going. I'll just keep going.
Harry Turner
Hey, there's a way to set that up. And I'm going to figure that out. Like that's one of the things I'm going to end up automating because that would be great because that's what I was saying. I was like have your shows on clubhouse too That way you just and then that's more you know, that's more people here in us and so yeah, and know this Okay, so I want to say this I'm gonna give you the last word but I will say this real quick. I'm definitely having you back on the show. And I'll probably be real soon because I want my brother this is this is something CBD and hemp and this is something that my brother has been teaching our family about like he really has a natural like liking to it and so I would love for us three to have a dialogue on the show well wouldn't be a dialogue - What have you that is still a dialogue with Mark. What exactly I wanted to say tripod but it's not I watch too many movies is dialogue, a dialogue, you know,
Brandon Croucher
tripods connect to movies really quick. I'm sorry, I gotta stop you there for a second.
Harry Turner
Next Door Do you have you seen the girl next door?
Brandon Croucher
Okay good I was like I don't even know about your creepiness, Don't tell me that yet (laughter) Girl next door, great movie got it
Harry Turner
The tripod, Yeah, that's all of a sudden popped in my head Oh, but anyway we want to get on and have this dialogue brother and also I know that that with what I just know that your your energy and you'll feel you know not on a surface level energy upbeat, innocent and personable ness that most people would would be drawn to but deeper much deeper your deeper roots represent a kindred a kindred energy and so since I since that in you definitely want to stay connected so that we can continue to do our do our thing you see this is what people do. And this is another thing people don't know is that when you find two people on the same energy evenly yoked when you give you don't lose when you share you don't lose. What happens in the sharing is that now you have a partner who can reciprocate and so you build one another up, the energy begins to magnify and becomes amplified. The more that you do that. And so then it benefits you to share in that space. Too many y'all have been fooled with how to share it. You know what, that's another time for another brother. You get the last word get the last word so I can get in C lubhouse man, you got it. And we're gonna do this again, man. Like serious. I'm gonna get out with you real soon.
Brandon Croucher
You got it. I love it. I love ever for real Harry. Thank you. My last word is Harry, you said Louisiana and Texas. Which one are you in? So I know which way I'm going to go with my last word.
Harry Turner
Louisiana Baton Rouge.
Brandon Croucher
Aw I love Baton Rouge.
Harry Turner
LSU, go Tigers
Brandon Croucher
Right. I'm Ohio State. I'm sorry. If that's you know what I understand why people hate Ohio State, I've been places those fans can be such a-holes. They are the worst representation of fans. And I'm sitting here going I don't want to call myself that. So I rebuttal that with I'm a Cleveland Browns fan. So now you know 30 years of crap. I get to be excited this year with my team. My last word is going to be this is craps if you ever heard the bucket crab story. So you have a bucket of crabs and the ones one crab keeps trying to crawl and get out. They all want to get out. But the one crawls and he could start to see the light he's about to get out but then all the other Crabs want to go with him and he keeps being pulled back down. Then it goes back up and climbs and he can see the light he's about to get out where all the other Crabs want to go. And he doesn't understand that he has to go to the light before the rest of them can follow. And the thing is, I I've heard that in life many times. So realize how much you're doing. And if you're climbing to the top of your bucket with all the other Crabs, Don't look back and let them pull you back down when you can see the light, keep going, focus.

Andy Dufrain, I that's all I'm gonna say my favorite like one of my favorite movies Shawshank Redemption. It's when you leave because we've been in the dark Me, me and my brethren, he no one can connect with me on this level if you hadn't experienced some true darkness in your life period. And you when you climb through that mile of feces and urine like Andy Dufrain did in Shawshank Redemption, and you get out on the other side and you extend your arms as the rain cleans all of that crap off your body or you can feel and sense this, this fullness of this experience called Freedom, freedom, freedom, being lit for life. That's the only way to be free, being authentic, living through your truth in your truth, your truth, not what you have inherited based off of other people's fears. But what is inherent to you what has always been there, but you've been afraid to let out the only truth so that's the only true path to your power, living your truth and be lit for life. And that's I got it ended without him right that brethren. Look, can you can you please come back on the show?
Brandon Croucher
I'll make you a trade. I'll make you a deal. Yes, no, I will come back to yours. But I'm going to have Fernando the one that interrupt that. Scott, you and I in touch, he runs my books. I want you to come on my morning show because if you start your day with a shot of Java, and a little bit of Delight, guess what? You're going to be able to get through the whole thing, even positive vibes to everybody. So you have to come give me that out to everybody one day on my show. That'd be fair.
Harry Turner
You give me the earliest dates that you have and I'm there, the end.
Brandon Croucher
You got it. Not a problem.
Harry Turner
Hey, but sit backstage for just a second. And let me let me do my thing real quick. I Brandon Croucher. Are y'all staying lit? Hey, y'all, I hope y'all enjoyed that I did not expect it to be, well I had no expectations because expectations a greatest source of frustration. You also hear about that in my course, the LIT factor, but I had no expectations on how this would go. All I trust is that the universe is always conspiring in my favor. And you see what happens when you have that faith not only faith in that the universe is conspiring in my favor but faith that I'm ready to receive What it is that I desire from the universe. You see, I had to align my aura, my energetic field with the desire that I have the desires for the experiences I had for my life. And so y'all just witnessed one of those things that I desire. To form authentic connections with those who are unapologetically authentic, already doing the work, did the work and continuing to do the work, living in their truth. And on that same mission of assisting others in developing that audacity to live unapologetically authentic, he may say it a different way. You know, he may be given y'all a different a different brand, but trust the brand may look different, but the mission is still the same. When you tie your intentions, your values based intentions to your mission, and then you tie your mission to your motivation, then you have endless fuel to remain lit. That's that true internal flame. That's that inner Phoenix I'm talking about. Alright, so I got to go to clubhouse. But all I want to say is thank you all for being on episode two of season two of Is that so? And it's been a zinger yall, I'm out, stay lit. Your time what do you do?
