1
00:00:05,670 –> 00:00:08,560
Ed Watters: To overcome, you must educate.

2
00:00:09,950 –> 00:00:15,969
Educate not only yourself, but
educate anyone seeking to learn.

3
00:00:17,320 –> 00:00:21,350
We are all Dead America,
we can all learn something.

4
00:00:22,520 –> 00:00:26,730
To learn, we must challenge
what we already understand.

5
00:00:27,780 –> 00:00:31,180
The way we do that is
through conversation.

6
00:00:32,619 –> 00:00:39,750
Sometimes we have conversations with
others, however, some of the best

7
00:00:39,910 –> 00:00:42,870
conversations happen with ourselves.

8
00:00:44,210 –> 00:00:51,490
Reach out and challenge yourself; let’s
dive in and learn something new right now.

9
00:00:56,500 –> 00:00:59,260
Today, we are speaking with Nick Yerhart.

10
00:00:59,849 –> 00:01:07,179
Nick is the host of The Infinite
Abilities Podcast, he is also a 10X coach.

11
00:01:07,629 –> 00:01:11,080
Nick, could you please introduce
yourself and let people know just

12
00:01:11,080 –> 00:01:12,559
a little more about you, please?

13
00:01:13,479 –> 00:01:17,450
Nick Yerhart: Of course, and first I want
to thank you for having me on the show.

14
00:01:17,519 –> 00:01:18,670
I’m excited for this.

15
00:01:19,539 –> 00:01:22,820
But yeah, I’m Nick Yerhart.

16
00:01:22,840 –> 00:01:27,340
I do have cerebral, uh, palsy,
but I don’t let that stop me

17
00:01:27,340 –> 00:01:28,800
from doing much of anything.

18
00:01:29,280 –> 00:01:34,609
Um, over the past four years,
I’ve dove headfirst into self

19
00:01:35,060 –> 00:01:37,909
development and improving my life.

20
00:01:38,300 –> 00:01:44,550
And along the way, I became a
certified 10X, uh, business coach.

21
00:01:45,045 –> 00:01:50,195
But I’m also a life coach, so I
definitely like helping people improve,

22
00:01:50,295 –> 00:01:53,015
improve their lives the way that I did.

23
00:01:54,125 –> 00:01:56,914
Ed Watters: I think it’s very
important what you’re doing and,

24
00:01:57,525 –> 00:02:02,854
you know, excuses are out the
window before we even get started.

25
00:02:02,854 –> 00:02:10,410
When it comes to speaking with Nick, he
doesn’t allow himself to use excuses.

26
00:02:10,789 –> 00:02:15,650
I find you so inspirational
in many ways, Nick.

27
00:02:15,669 –> 00:02:19,369
And it’s comforting to know
there’s people like you out

28
00:02:19,370 –> 00:02:21,320
there doing what you’re doing.

29
00:02:22,469 –> 00:02:30,660
What got you started into trying
to develop yourself and then launch

30
00:02:30,660 –> 00:02:34,210
that into the 10X coaching system?

31
00:02:36,549 –> 00:02:36,909
Nick Yerhart: Yeah.

32
00:02:36,909 –> 00:02:42,289
So, like, my whole life, I never
really accepted my disability.

33
00:02:42,329 –> 00:02:45,625
Like, I was always very
negative towards it.

34
00:02:46,135 –> 00:02:51,195
And, you know, about four years ago,
you know, shortly after I, I lost

35
00:02:51,615 –> 00:02:56,735
my dad, you know, my whole life got
turned around and I went down into

36
00:02:56,735 –> 00:03:02,435
a hole, you know, a depression,
suicidal thoughts, I was just not okay.

37
00:03:03,015 –> 00:03:08,295
And I knew that something
needed to change, otherwise the

38
00:03:08,325 –> 00:03:10,505
outcome wasn’t going to be good.

39
00:03:11,545 –> 00:03:18,185
So, thankfully, I had already been
listening to Grant Cardone, who owns,

40
00:03:18,185 –> 00:03:21,804
uh, 10X, and I’m certified from him.

41
00:03:22,324 –> 00:03:26,875
But throughout listening to
him, I, I started to realize

42
00:03:26,875 –> 00:03:28,965
that there’s more to life.

43
00:03:28,995 –> 00:03:36,754
Like, I, I could do something for myself
instead of working a W 2 job, like I

44
00:03:36,754 –> 00:03:43,155
have been doing since I was sixteen,
I could start my own, uh, business.

45
00:03:43,550 –> 00:03:46,800
So that kind of got me
excited, excited, you know?

46
00:03:47,650 –> 00:03:54,899
And throughout listening to him, and
I started listening to a podcast, and

47
00:03:54,910 –> 00:04:01,720
I ended up finding a podcast called
The Mindset Mentor by Rob Dial.

48
00:04:02,290 –> 00:04:08,700
And that podcast changed everything
because Rob’s all about improving your

49
00:04:08,700 –> 00:04:15,639
mindset, believing in yourself, loving
yourself, growing your self confidence.

50
00:04:16,229 –> 00:04:24,530
So I started to take the actions that he
was, you know, teaching in a podcast and

51
00:04:24,540 –> 00:04:27,190
I started to become happier with myself.

52
00:04:27,690 –> 00:04:34,429
And then that just spiraled into, I just
wanted to learn everything that I could.

53
00:04:34,639 –> 00:04:42,250
And that’s how I ended up becoming a,
uh, 10X business coach because I seen an

54
00:04:42,250 –> 00:04:45,810
opportunity, I took it, and here we are.

55
00:04:48,679 –> 00:04:50,100
Ed Watters: That’s, that’s huge.

56
00:04:50,400 –> 00:04:53,320
Opportunity, it happens.

57
00:04:53,660 –> 00:04:59,800
And if you don’t take it when it
does happen, it’s really frustrating

58
00:04:59,810 –> 00:05:01,969
because you’ll always regret it.

59
00:05:02,239 –> 00:05:06,799
You’ll always look back at that
moment, that time and say, Oh man,

60
00:05:06,799 –> 00:05:08,179
I wish I would have done that.

61
00:05:08,739 –> 00:05:12,180
Don’t be one of those people, it’s simple.

62
00:05:12,430 –> 00:05:19,170
And, you know, action, taking that
action step, that is critical.

63
00:05:19,220 –> 00:05:24,460
A lot of us, we sit on the couch
and sit back, and we, we mumble,

64
00:05:24,469 –> 00:05:30,000
we grumble about things, but we
don’t want to take the action step.

65
00:05:31,150 –> 00:05:38,745
Tell us what, what courage was,
what courage did it take for

66
00:05:38,745 –> 00:05:41,315
you to take that action step?

67
00:05:42,585 –> 00:05:48,135
Nick Yerhart: So, you know, like a
couple months before I got started

68
00:05:48,145 –> 00:05:55,265
into the 10X program, you know, I
had already been posting on social

69
00:05:55,294 –> 00:05:57,414
media, just getting myself known.

70
00:05:57,414 –> 00:06:02,855
Because I know that, you know,
being well, well known really

71
00:06:02,855 –> 00:06:04,695
helps a lot in a business.

72
00:06:05,390 –> 00:06:11,670
And I originally wanted to get into real
estate, but then I seen the opportunity

73
00:06:11,940 –> 00:06:16,710
to become a coach and I felt like
I could help more people that way.

74
00:06:17,190 –> 00:06:23,810
So, but as far as what action
I took, so I had already been

75
00:06:24,139 –> 00:06:27,130
taking action and I set up my LLC,

76
00:06:30,880 –> 00:06:32,059
I got that going.

77
00:06:32,319 –> 00:06:35,600
I didn’t really know what exactly
I was going to do with it yet,

78
00:06:35,630 –> 00:06:37,499
but I was like, you know what?

79
00:06:37,759 –> 00:06:39,460
I want to, I commit.

80
00:06:39,599 –> 00:06:44,919
So if I pay the money,
set it up, I’m committed.

81
00:06:44,920 –> 00:06:46,459
So now I have to do something.

82
00:06:47,199 –> 00:06:48,479
So I think that’s important.

83
00:06:48,489 –> 00:06:52,830
Just commit first and
figure the rest out later.

84
00:06:53,720 –> 00:07:00,030
So then one day, you know, I got a
call from, uh, Grant Cardone’s office,

85
00:07:00,299 –> 00:07:04,650
they offered me the opportunity
to become a coach with them.

86
00:07:05,200 –> 00:07:11,400
And right away, I was
like, I wanted to do this.

87
00:07:11,990 –> 00:07:15,930
I don’t know how I’m going to pay
for it, because I definitely didn’t

88
00:07:15,940 –> 00:07:19,200
have that much money at that time.

89
00:07:19,820 –> 00:07:25,219
But I said, Let’s go, I’ll figure it out.

90
00:07:25,400 –> 00:07:26,400
And I did.

91
00:07:27,050 –> 00:07:33,510
So, I just, I truly believe that if
you see an opportunity and your gut

92
00:07:33,550 –> 00:07:38,360
is telling you that you should do
it, it doesn’t matter if you have the

93
00:07:38,950 –> 00:07:45,079
financial means or the know how, just
do it and then figure it out later.

94
00:07:47,289 –> 00:07:51,229
Ed Watters: Yeah, that’s a huge step
and that takes a lot of courage.

95
00:07:52,110 –> 00:08:00,400
So, talk to us about your dream or
your vision for your business and what

96
00:08:00,419 –> 00:08:03,020
does that look like in the future?

97
00:08:05,320 –> 00:08:05,679
Nick Yerhart: Yeah.

98
00:08:05,679 –> 00:08:13,960
So the people I really want to help are
parents who have children with special

99
00:08:13,960 –> 00:08:17,249
needs, I prefer to say special ability.

100
00:08:17,870 –> 00:08:23,219
Um, I started my coaching
business towards them.

101
00:08:24,225 –> 00:08:28,675
But I quickly found out that,
unfortunately, they don’t have a whole

102
00:08:28,685 –> 00:08:30,945
lot of extra income a lot of the times.

103
00:08:31,555 –> 00:08:37,564
So, I sat down and I was like, Alright,
what can I do to, you know, grow my

104
00:08:37,564 –> 00:08:40,215
business so then I can help them?

105
00:08:40,824 –> 00:08:47,284
So what I decided on is, I’m more
focused on, uh, business coaching.

106
00:08:47,750 –> 00:08:50,839
Because businesses need help.

107
00:08:50,900 –> 00:08:56,170
I have all the tools and resources to
help them, so I can do, I can do that.

108
00:08:56,680 –> 00:09:01,869
So what I’m doing is I’m building my
business to a point where I can start

109
00:09:02,239 –> 00:09:06,959
a foundation and then I can help the
people that I really want to help.

110
00:09:07,579 –> 00:09:16,920
So my, my goal is to help one billion, uh,
people improve the quality of their life.

111
00:09:18,839 –> 00:09:19,609
Ed Watters: That’s awesome.

112
00:09:19,829 –> 00:09:24,170
And you know, I, I like it that
it’s not about a short term goal.

113
00:09:24,370 –> 00:09:29,860
You have the broad, big picture
in, in focus at all times.

114
00:09:29,860 –> 00:09:34,699
And, and when we’re painting
a masterpiece, we really have

115
00:09:34,699 –> 00:09:39,900
to inspire it by the size of
the canvas that we start with.

116
00:09:40,270 –> 00:09:44,600
So don’t limit the canvas, that’s
really one of the big things.

117
00:09:45,130 –> 00:09:48,329
And, and a lot of that takes gratitude.

118
00:09:49,285 –> 00:09:54,275
What is your take on
having gratitude in life?

119
00:09:56,345 –> 00:09:58,155
Nick Yerhart: Oh, it’s so important.

120
00:09:58,285 –> 00:10:00,605
You know, I wake up every morning.

121
00:10:00,704 –> 00:10:02,675
I have a morning routine.

122
00:10:04,045 –> 00:10:11,055
And one of the things in my
routine is I journal three

123
00:10:11,084 –> 00:10:13,035
things that I’m grateful for.

124
00:10:14,025 –> 00:10:17,465
So it’s, it’s always good
just to recognize the things

125
00:10:17,465 –> 00:10:18,735
that you’re grateful for.

126
00:10:19,045 –> 00:10:23,894
Because if you don’t, you can tend
to like, be kind of negative and

127
00:10:23,895 –> 00:10:26,455
not appreciate things in life.

128
00:10:26,645 –> 00:10:31,779
So I think it’s very important just
to appreciate everything that you can.

129
00:10:33,200 –> 00:10:37,710
Ed Watters: Can you share an
example of gratitude with us today?

130
00:10:37,710 –> 00:10:40,030
What, what are you grateful for?

131
00:10:41,230 –> 00:10:47,630
Nick Yerhart: Well, I am so grateful for
the followers that I have on social media.

132
00:10:48,000 –> 00:10:52,549
And now when I say that, I’m not
grateful because I have, you know,

133
00:10:52,669 –> 00:10:54,360
tens of thousands of followers.

134
00:10:54,939 –> 00:10:58,820
I’m grateful because there’s tens of
thousands of people that are following

135
00:10:58,820 –> 00:11:01,640
me that I help every single day.

136
00:11:02,120 –> 00:11:07,830
I post videos every day, and every
video is going to help someone.

137
00:11:08,180 –> 00:11:10,160
So that’s another thing that I do.

138
00:11:10,420 –> 00:11:16,850
I wake up every morning with the intent
to help at least one person that day.

139
00:11:18,369 –> 00:11:20,550
So yeah, I’m just super grateful.

140
00:11:21,829 –> 00:11:23,380
Ed Watters: Yeah, I like that a lot.

141
00:11:25,610 –> 00:11:28,400
Yeah, you have to be grateful.

142
00:11:28,640 –> 00:11:34,570
And, you know, when we have intention
like that to wake up and have

143
00:11:34,579 –> 00:11:43,780
something in mind, a purpose every
day, that is a good way to do our life.

144
00:11:43,810 –> 00:11:50,715
Because if we don’t have intention,
we fall into depression and, you know,

145
00:11:50,715 –> 00:11:59,275
these self doubting, negative, self
talk images that we often get into.

146
00:11:59,495 –> 00:12:02,684
We’re social and we need that interaction.

147
00:12:03,124 –> 00:12:10,635
So, what are some of the things
that encourage you to take that step

148
00:12:10,635 –> 00:12:13,790
of getting out and being social?

149
00:12:13,810 –> 00:12:17,700
Because sometimes being social
is very tough for many of us.

150
00:12:19,610 –> 00:12:19,980
Nick Yerhart: Oh, yeah.

151
00:12:19,980 –> 00:12:26,390
Well, honestly, I was a
big introvert years ago.

152
00:12:26,860 –> 00:12:31,820
Like I was shy, I would not
talk to people I didn’t know, I

153
00:12:31,820 –> 00:12:33,940
got very nervous out in public.

154
00:12:34,669 –> 00:12:40,039
But now I know my purpose
and I have a voice.

155
00:12:40,500 –> 00:12:43,835
And if I don’t share that,
I’m not gonna help people.

156
00:12:44,484 –> 00:12:50,484
So it, it makes it very easy for
me to get outta bed in the morning

157
00:12:50,545 –> 00:12:52,814
because I have a, a purpose.

158
00:12:53,565 –> 00:12:58,505
I, I know that today I will
help at least one people.

159
00:12:58,835 –> 00:13:05,620
Now, honestly, these days, it’s, at least,
a hundred I would think I help a, a day.

160
00:13:06,089 –> 00:13:08,880
But my goal is always to help one.

161
00:13:09,260 –> 00:13:13,490
So yeah, I, I think it’s just
important to have that purpose

162
00:13:14,069 –> 00:13:15,970
and know what your purpose is.

163
00:13:16,250 –> 00:13:22,280
And if you don’t know what your purpose
is, then every day you should be waking up

164
00:13:23,350 –> 00:13:26,860
and have the purpose to find your purpose.

165
00:13:30,565 –> 00:13:31,575
Ed Watters: I like that.

166
00:13:31,765 –> 00:13:36,625
That, that is an applause right
there because, you know, a lot of us,

167
00:13:36,625 –> 00:13:39,434
we’d rather stew in our own despair.

168
00:13:39,695 –> 00:13:42,835
And, you know, find the purpose.

169
00:13:43,115 –> 00:13:48,914
And it really takes that self
motivation and the want or the

170
00:13:48,915 –> 00:13:52,694
need to get something else.

171
00:13:52,845 –> 00:13:58,125
And, you know, it really doesn’t
come with comfort, you know,

172
00:13:58,155 –> 00:14:05,430
action often takes discomfort to
propel you into something else.

173
00:14:06,130 –> 00:14:10,480
Can you talk to us about the
discomfort that propelled you

174
00:14:10,490 –> 00:14:12,790
into trying to find yourself?

175
00:14:15,124 –> 00:14:15,355
Nick Yerhart: Oh, yeah.

176
00:14:15,355 –> 00:14:19,875
You know, I talk about this a
lot in my social media videos.

177
00:14:20,165 –> 00:14:24,564
You know, you need to step
outside of your, uh, comfort zone.

178
00:14:25,064 –> 00:14:28,774
That’s the only way that you’ll
grow, that’s the only way you’ll

179
00:14:28,775 –> 00:14:33,064
learn, and that’s the only way that
you’ll get further along in life.

180
00:14:33,644 –> 00:14:40,045
So for me, as far as the discomfort
I went through, Man, I was so scared

181
00:14:40,074 –> 00:14:42,365
to do my first social media video.

182
00:14:42,564 –> 00:14:53,109
Because I’m someone who, up until that
first video in February of 2023, I

183
00:14:53,109 –> 00:14:56,309
had never recorded myself on a camera.

184
00:14:57,060 –> 00:15:01,139
Because I didn’t like the way I looked,
I didn’t like the way I talked, I

185
00:15:01,140 –> 00:15:08,430
didn’t like the way I moved, and it
was very hard for me to hear myself.

186
00:15:09,599 –> 00:15:16,330
So that first video I did, you know,
I really had to push myself to do it.

187
00:15:16,540 –> 00:15:24,520
And if I’m gonna be honest, it did take
six shots of Jack Daniels before I had

188
00:15:24,540 –> 00:15:27,810
the courage to actually record that video.

189
00:15:29,070 –> 00:15:30,390
But I did it.

190
00:15:30,780 –> 00:15:36,210
And then after that, it was
almost daily I made a video.

191
00:15:36,689 –> 00:15:42,824
And now, you know, I post between
two to five videos every day.

192
00:15:43,084 –> 00:15:48,724
And when I record a video
now, man, it’s super easy.

193
00:15:48,935 –> 00:15:54,384
Like I don’t have to really think
about, you know, it’s just, it’s so,

194
00:15:54,395 –> 00:16:00,444
it’s good to know that, like the things
that you find are, you know, outside

195
00:16:00,444 –> 00:16:07,765
your comfort zone, just do it and then
do it again, and again, and again.

196
00:16:08,225 –> 00:16:10,405
And then guess, guess what happens?

197
00:16:10,975 –> 00:16:12,335
It’s no longer difficult.

198
00:16:12,745 –> 00:16:14,515
It’s easy, it’s normal.

199
00:16:16,195 –> 00:16:16,545
Ed Watters: Yeah.

200
00:16:16,655 –> 00:16:23,285
And you get very good doing it, and
it really surprises you looking back.

201
00:16:23,615 –> 00:16:27,455
You know, I have an immense
catalog of back episodes that

202
00:16:27,455 –> 00:16:30,795
I often go back and I look.

203
00:16:30,795 –> 00:16:35,615
I’ve got episodes that people don’t
even know how to find that I go back.

204
00:16:35,765 –> 00:16:40,925
Because it’s at the very beginning and
sometimes I look at those and go, You

205
00:16:40,925 –> 00:16:47,085
were very uncomfortable and that’s very
refreshing that you stepped out of that.

206
00:16:47,684 –> 00:16:53,715
I, I, when I first started recording
episodes, I hated my voice so much

207
00:16:53,735 –> 00:16:59,345
that I went and bought music to
play in the background so I didn’t

208
00:16:59,345 –> 00:17:02,275
have to hear myself speaking alone.

209
00:17:02,595 –> 00:17:07,875
You know, so that discomfort really
can help you grow in many ways.

210
00:17:08,135 –> 00:17:15,184
And if you decide to step in and lean
into that discomfort and acknowledge that

211
00:17:15,184 –> 00:17:22,560
it’s there, that’s when we find perfection
and you, you can really build yourself.

212
00:17:23,879 –> 00:17:30,280
Nick, I, I, through researching
you, I noticed you wrote two

213
00:17:30,280 –> 00:17:32,549
books and one’s on Amazon.

214
00:17:32,980 –> 00:17:36,970
Could you talk us, to us
about your writing experience?

215
00:17:36,999 –> 00:17:42,370
Because a lot of us, we want
to write a book but, again,

216
00:17:42,460 –> 00:17:45,230
that discomfort holds us back.

217
00:17:46,490 –> 00:17:46,920
Nick Yerhart: Yeah.

218
00:17:46,930 –> 00:17:50,010
So, I actually have three books.

219
00:17:50,710 –> 00:17:59,405
Um, but my first one, my first one was,
uh, uh, one of my coaches through the

220
00:17:59,405 –> 00:18:04,824
10X, uh, program, uh, she recommended
that I write a short little ebook

221
00:18:05,314 –> 00:18:10,815
just to have something that I could
either sell for cheap or give away.

222
00:18:11,544 –> 00:18:16,774
So with that one, you know,
that one’s a lot about building

223
00:18:16,784 –> 00:18:18,395
yourself, uh, confidence.

224
00:18:18,935 –> 00:18:22,015
Um, I, I should probably
read that one again.

225
00:18:22,015 –> 00:18:29,055
But I want to say it was 20 Tips on
How to Build Your Self Confidence.

226
00:18:29,595 –> 00:18:33,235
It’s a short book, I think
it’s thirty-six pages.

227
00:18:33,865 –> 00:18:36,405
And that one’s extremely helpful.

228
00:18:36,405 –> 00:18:40,935
You know, it’s got some of my own life
stories in it and everything like that.

229
00:18:41,665 –> 00:18:46,335
And the coolest thing about that book
though, this book, I don’t think I’ve

230
00:18:46,335 –> 00:18:54,570
told anyone, is what I did for that
book is, at the time, when I was making

231
00:18:54,570 –> 00:19:02,070
social video, social media videos, I
was doing mixed, uh, content, uh, tips.

232
00:19:02,429 –> 00:19:06,520
So, I had a whole bunch of tips
that I would make a video about.

233
00:19:06,900 –> 00:19:13,390
And what, what I did was, I took the
videos I made and turned it into,

234
00:19:13,910 –> 00:19:16,480
uh, text and put that in the book

235
00:19:16,530 –> 00:19:19,750
and then I just added a couple
of stories here and there.

236
00:19:20,360 –> 00:19:24,739
So, if you’re trying to think of,
you know, trying to write a book,

237
00:19:24,749 –> 00:19:28,459
you know, think about the things
that you’ve done in the past.

238
00:19:29,070 –> 00:19:33,889
And a lot of times, you can save
yourself a lot of time by going back

239
00:19:33,889 –> 00:19:37,119
and using that to write your book.

240
00:19:37,800 –> 00:19:42,260
And then, my second book
is Empowering Motivational

241
00:19:42,290 –> 00:19:44,719
Strategies, which is on Amazon.

242
00:19:45,089 –> 00:19:49,805
It’s a short, a forty-six page book.

243
00:19:50,215 –> 00:19:53,955
It takes, you know, half an
hour-forty-five minutes to read.

244
00:19:54,975 –> 00:20:02,270
That one was more of a challenge
to, with my accountability group.

245
00:20:03,060 –> 00:20:09,100
We’re all challenging each other
to get something done and out

246
00:20:09,100 –> 00:20:12,370
there to help our business.

247
00:20:12,760 –> 00:20:19,279
And I chose to write a book on
how to have more motivation.

248
00:20:21,249 –> 00:20:26,959
So all I did was took the principles
that I had learned over the past,

249
00:20:27,049 –> 00:20:33,595
you know, two years at that time, and
just turned it into a book, you know?

250
00:20:33,895 –> 00:20:39,775
And you just, if you’re writing a
book, especially like a book like

251
00:20:39,775 –> 00:20:43,995
that, like that isn’t really about
your life or anything like that, it’s

252
00:20:43,995 –> 00:20:50,414
more of an educational book, I mean,
just use Google, just do some research.

253
00:20:50,414 –> 00:20:58,015
And just get ideas, and then start putting
those ideas on paper in your own words.

254
00:20:59,095 –> 00:21:01,095
So yeah, I mean, it’s really cool.

255
00:21:01,745 –> 00:21:07,245
And then my third one is another ebook
and that’s about, uh, podcasting,

256
00:21:07,865 –> 00:21:12,955
the power of, uh, podcasting and
how it can help your, uh, business.

257
00:21:12,955 –> 00:21:13,155
So yeah.

258
00:21:16,245 –> 00:21:20,615
Ed Watters: Well, that’s interesting
because podcasting can help your

259
00:21:20,845 –> 00:21:23,555
business immensely in many ways.

260
00:21:23,935 –> 00:21:30,235
You know, I find the power of
podcasting to be so immense because

261
00:21:30,385 –> 00:21:32,804
it helps people in so many ways.

262
00:21:33,140 –> 00:21:35,140
They educate themselves.

263
00:21:35,170 –> 00:21:40,430
You know, for instance, I, through
my podcasting journey, it’s helped

264
00:21:40,430 –> 00:21:46,249
me read better, it’s helped me study
better, it’s helped me grow immensely.

265
00:21:46,430 –> 00:21:52,275
And the best part is I get to
meet fabulous people all the time.

266
00:21:52,305 –> 00:21:58,375
And there are so many inspiring
stories that propel you to

267
00:21:58,375 –> 00:22:00,754
your next level of podcasting.

268
00:22:01,205 –> 00:22:01,695
So

269
00:22:04,194 –> 00:22:07,954
you do a podcast and it’s pretty cool.

270
00:22:08,364 –> 00:22:15,985
Could you tell people about your podcast
and what inspires you to do the podcast?

271
00:22:17,305 –> 00:22:22,764
Nick Yerhart: So I want to start with
what inspires me to do a podcast.

272
00:22:23,175 –> 00:22:29,925
And that really goes back to me
listening to podcasts years ago that

273
00:22:29,935 –> 00:22:36,425
actually changed my life and helped
me improve every aspect of my life.

274
00:22:36,884 –> 00:22:43,225
So I started my podcast to help
others, that’s what it’s all about.

275
00:22:43,445 –> 00:22:48,904
Just to help others, help people
get through their struggles, help

276
00:22:48,904 –> 00:22:53,524
them with their business, help them
get ideas for starting a business,

277
00:22:53,534 –> 00:22:55,585
you know, everything like that.

278
00:22:55,804 –> 00:23:00,685
So yeah, my podcast is called
The Infinite Abilities Podcast.

279
00:23:02,534 –> 00:23:04,045
You can find it everywhere.

280
00:23:04,604 –> 00:23:12,520
And some of my guests I bring on have,
you know, special needs themselves, so

281
00:23:12,520 –> 00:23:17,679
they can share what it’s like to live
with what they have and also to share

282
00:23:17,690 –> 00:23:20,020
how they overcome, uh, challenges.

283
00:23:20,639 –> 00:23:25,189
Because that’s not only going to
help people understand what it’s

284
00:23:25,189 –> 00:23:31,019
like, but it’s also going to help
those who are in similar situations,

285
00:23:31,530 –> 00:23:33,530
get through their challenges.

286
00:23:33,840 –> 00:23:38,199
So I love doing that and
I always learn something.

287
00:23:38,750 –> 00:23:45,009
And then I also bring on entrepreneurs
to share their story, share why they

288
00:23:45,010 –> 00:23:50,569
do what they do, how they help people,
and really promote whatever they do.

289
00:23:50,949 –> 00:23:55,619
So then it helps them and
it also helps my listeners.

290
00:23:56,089 –> 00:24:01,659
And I get to learn a lot from
entrepreneurs who are, you know, doing,

291
00:24:01,949 –> 00:24:07,200
you know, they’re one step ahead of me,
so I can get ideas for what I should do.

292
00:24:09,510 –> 00:24:09,799
Ed Watters: Yeah.

293
00:24:09,799 –> 00:24:14,880
That, that’s really the idea in
growth, Nick, is when, when we

294
00:24:15,105 –> 00:24:18,465
want to increase our ability.

295
00:24:18,504 –> 00:24:23,465
We have to actually go to
where that knowledge lies.

296
00:24:23,465 –> 00:24:27,425
And that is often with other
podcasters in this case.

297
00:24:28,154 –> 00:24:33,684
I’m, I’m constantly watching
other podcasters and it helps me

298
00:24:33,874 –> 00:24:36,844
develop new skills in podcasting.

299
00:24:37,165 –> 00:24:41,404
So, and, and it’s not about being
better than somebody else, it’s

300
00:24:41,404 –> 00:24:44,365
actually about being better myself.

301
00:24:44,405 –> 00:24:50,145
And then if others choose to
follow, well, that’s a great thing.

302
00:24:50,205 –> 00:24:53,704
So yeah, it’s, it’s pretty cool.

303
00:24:54,294 –> 00:24:58,615
You know, when we talk about
overcoming challenges and

304
00:24:58,625 –> 00:25:03,870
difficulties, you, you excel here.

305
00:25:05,000 –> 00:25:10,800
You drive a garbage truck on top of
everything else, and this amazes me

306
00:25:10,810 –> 00:25:17,909
because the way you adapt to be able
to do this, it’s challenging for many

307
00:25:17,910 –> 00:25:24,660
people to do things, but you are a master
at overcoming and developing skills.

308
00:25:24,890 –> 00:25:32,190
I like how you shared the video of
you driving the garbage truck and how

309
00:25:32,190 –> 00:25:38,079
you, you know, developed the skill
of implementing your wristwatch.

310
00:25:38,079 –> 00:25:44,960
And talk to us about how you did
that and overcome the challenge

311
00:25:44,969 –> 00:25:49,420
in your mind of getting into
that big monster and driving it.

312
00:25:50,610 –> 00:25:50,990
Nick Yerhart: Yeah.

313
00:25:50,990 –> 00:25:56,740
So, you know, one thing I live
by is I don’t say I can’t.

314
00:25:57,389 –> 00:25:58,800
I say, How can I?

315
00:25:59,515 –> 00:26:03,035
Because now I’m searching for solutions.

316
00:26:03,455 –> 00:26:12,605
So with anything I do, you know, almost
everything I do daily is a challenge.

317
00:26:12,974 –> 00:26:16,494
You know, I don’t do things
like everybody else can.

318
00:26:16,745 –> 00:26:19,059
I have my own way of doing things.

319
00:26:19,480 –> 00:26:27,389
So, as far as driving a garbage truck,
now, driving the truck itself is no

320
00:26:27,389 –> 00:26:32,230
different than any other vehicle,
you know, and I can do that easily.

321
00:26:32,719 –> 00:26:37,739
But with the truck that I shared
in that video, that’s one of the

322
00:26:37,759 –> 00:26:42,324
trucks that has that arm on the
side that picks up the garbage can.

323
00:26:42,925 –> 00:26:48,995
So because of that, there’s a joystick
inside the cab to operate the arm.

324
00:26:49,834 –> 00:26:56,444
And in the video, there’s a little lever
on top of the joystick, which, which is

325
00:26:56,444 –> 00:27:03,615
what operates the, the little fingers
on the arm that actually grab the can.

326
00:27:04,415 –> 00:27:08,925
Well, when I first started
driving that truck, I would have

327
00:27:08,935 –> 00:27:10,615
my left hand on the joystick.

328
00:27:11,225 –> 00:27:16,145
And then I had to reach over with my
right hand to operate that little tiny

329
00:27:16,145 –> 00:27:21,575
lever because my, my thumb doesn’t
work, you know, like everybody else’s.

330
00:27:21,935 –> 00:27:24,454
So like everybody else
could just use their thumb.

331
00:27:24,764 –> 00:27:25,955
Well, I couldn’t do that.

332
00:27:26,455 –> 00:27:31,435
And I’m not saying I can’t do it, I’m
just saying I have my own way of doing it.

333
00:27:31,925 –> 00:27:38,415
So after, and, you know, a few hours
of reaching over, you know, to hit

334
00:27:38,415 –> 00:27:43,070
that little lever, my back started
to hurt, my arms started to hurt,

335
00:27:43,120 –> 00:27:47,200
so I was like, Alright, there’s
gotta be a better, a better way.

336
00:27:48,170 –> 00:27:53,800
And I just, I sat there and I looked at
them like, alright, how can I do this?

337
00:27:53,840 –> 00:28:01,389
And I was just like, Huh, I wonder
if my watch will, my watch band will,

338
00:28:01,679 –> 00:28:08,069
like, go underneath the little head
of the lever so I can use my watch?

339
00:28:08,430 –> 00:28:09,570
And it worked.

340
00:28:09,849 –> 00:28:15,090
So then from that moment on,
that’s exactly what I did.

341
00:28:15,120 –> 00:28:18,650
And as you’ve seen in the video,
it worked out really good.

342
00:28:21,325 –> 00:28:23,915
Ed Watters: Yeah, it just blew me away.

343
00:28:23,945 –> 00:28:27,745
It’s like, never say
you can’t do something.

344
00:28:27,955 –> 00:28:35,574
You know, it’s so inspiring when people
can see that sort of a video and it

345
00:28:35,645 –> 00:28:38,684
makes them question themselves so deep.

346
00:28:39,134 –> 00:28:41,214
And I love that to the core.

347
00:28:41,724 –> 00:28:47,764
I want to also talk about, I witnessed
a video where you explained that

348
00:28:48,674 –> 00:28:51,324
position was threatened by a doctor.

349
00:28:52,835 –> 00:28:54,274
How did that feel?

350
00:28:54,365 –> 00:28:58,104
And what did that make you feel
like when that instance occurred?

351
00:29:02,130 –> 00:29:02,640
Nick Yerhart: Yeah.

352
00:29:02,640 –> 00:29:08,100
So, I mean, it all started
when I went to get my, you

353
00:29:08,100 –> 00:29:10,929
know, regular driver’s license.

354
00:29:11,109 –> 00:29:16,139
And when I went to get that,
they told me I couldn’t.

355
00:29:17,350 –> 00:29:23,630
And I was like, Well, I can because,
you know, I grew up on a farm.

356
00:29:24,254 –> 00:29:28,874
I got my first pickup when I was
eleven years old, I have already

357
00:29:28,874 –> 00:29:31,114
been driving for four years.

358
00:29:31,274 –> 00:29:34,614
So I was like, Don’t tell me I
can’t do something that I’ve been

359
00:29:34,625 –> 00:29:36,844
doing for four years, you know?

360
00:29:37,194 –> 00:29:45,314
So I did have to go see doctors,
neurologists, and go through a bunch

361
00:29:45,465 –> 00:29:51,934
of tests for them to, you know,
approve me to, to drive, you know?

362
00:29:52,324 –> 00:29:55,834
And it, it was just annoying.

363
00:29:56,475 –> 00:29:57,524
It was just like,

364
00:30:00,270 –> 00:30:07,230
like, I understand, but in the same
sense, don’t say I can’t at first.

365
00:30:08,180 –> 00:30:09,509
Because that’s what they did.

366
00:30:09,509 –> 00:30:11,520
They said, Nope, you can’t get a license.

367
00:30:12,230 –> 00:30:14,719
Don’t do that, that’s wrong.

368
00:30:15,409 –> 00:30:23,339
Just simply say, um, Unfortunately,
due to your disability, there’s laws

369
00:30:23,389 –> 00:30:29,640
and we have to, you know, follow it and
you need to go get more testing done to

370
00:30:30,445 –> 00:30:32,825
make sure that you are safe to drive.

371
00:30:33,635 –> 00:30:37,285
That would be totally cool
but that’s not how it goes.

372
00:30:38,045 –> 00:30:42,834
But you know, I went through, I
did all the tests that they wanted

373
00:30:43,234 –> 00:30:47,664
and then I could finally go and
do the regular, you know, driver’s

374
00:30:47,685 –> 00:30:50,545
ed class and the test with that.

375
00:30:50,575 –> 00:30:56,000
So I had to go through, you know,
five times the amount of testing

376
00:30:56,320 –> 00:30:58,880
as anybody else, but I did it.

377
00:30:59,100 –> 00:31:03,079
I got my license at sixteen,
just like everybody else.

378
00:31:03,650 –> 00:31:11,050
And, you know, uh, five years later,
you know, my dad owned a garbage

379
00:31:11,610 –> 00:31:18,205
company so obviously I needed to get
my commercial driver’s license so I

380
00:31:18,245 –> 00:31:20,945
could drive all the, uh, uh, trucks.

381
00:31:22,265 –> 00:31:26,695
So I thought it was gonna
be easy like everyone else.

382
00:31:26,764 –> 00:31:29,135
Because I was like, Well, I
already have my license so,

383
00:31:31,180 –> 00:31:36,940
you know, there’s not much difference
between driving a garbage truck and a car.

384
00:31:36,970 –> 00:31:42,479
I mean, obviously they’re bigger,
heavier, they have air brakes instead

385
00:31:42,479 –> 00:31:48,785
of, you know, hydraulic brakes, but
like, I already knew all about the

386
00:31:48,795 –> 00:31:54,075
trucks because I had been around them
since I was like thirteen years old.

387
00:31:54,105 –> 00:31:57,515
So I already knew what
everything did, how they worked.

388
00:31:58,124 –> 00:32:01,115
And so I go to get my CDL

389
00:32:03,605 –> 00:32:10,170
and, you know, you have to get
what’s called a medical, uh, card.

390
00:32:10,420 –> 00:32:14,790
So basically, you go get a physical,
you take a drug test, you do all

391
00:32:14,790 –> 00:32:17,510
that, and then you get this, uh, card.

392
00:32:18,020 –> 00:32:23,105
And every two years, you have to
renew it to keep your, uh, CDL.

393
00:32:23,905 –> 00:32:29,735
Well, when I went to go get
that, I got denied by a doctor.

394
00:32:30,595 –> 00:32:37,394
And the doctor said, you will, will, will
never get your, your C, your C, a CDL.

395
00:32:37,505 –> 00:32:37,945
So

396
00:32:40,035 –> 00:32:45,095
once again, I had to fight and go
see more doctors, and get more tests

397
00:32:45,225 –> 00:32:47,455
done, and go through all that again.

398
00:32:47,945 –> 00:32:50,795
And then I was able to get my CDL.

399
00:32:51,195 –> 00:33:02,579
Now, the part about that that sucks is,
you know, I’ve had my CDL for, what is it?

400
00:33:03,519 –> 00:33:13,480
Twelve years now and I’ve gotten
it taken away five times just

401
00:33:13,530 –> 00:33:16,349
because of that medical card.

402
00:33:16,860 –> 00:33:22,760
And, you know, the laws were changed so
then the paperwork changes and somebody

403
00:33:22,760 –> 00:33:24,790
didn’t check this box or this box.

404
00:33:24,800 –> 00:33:30,835
So another thing I did, it was
just, the, the physicist or the

405
00:33:30,835 –> 00:33:37,415
doctor that did my, you know,
medical exam didn’t do things right.

406
00:33:37,634 –> 00:33:42,045
So therefore I would lose my license.

407
00:33:43,195 –> 00:33:51,530
And there was one time where I lost it
and the doctor I was going to, you know,

408
00:33:51,550 –> 00:33:55,830
said that they couldn’t do it anymore
because, you know, something changed and

409
00:33:56,190 –> 00:33:59,039
they’re not licensable or whatever it was.

410
00:34:00,029 –> 00:34:05,699
So I went to see a new, uh, doctor that,
you know, this isn’t going to be a big

411
00:34:05,700 –> 00:34:11,740
deal, I just go get the physical again,
I can get my medical card and then

412
00:34:12,240 –> 00:34:15,879
they’ll reinstate my license, you know?

413
00:34:16,970 –> 00:34:24,300
Oh no, this, this was a big challenge
because the doctor walks in and within

414
00:34:24,400 –> 00:34:33,355
five minutes he says, Nick, I’m not
going to do your physical because I’m not

415
00:34:33,785 –> 00:34:39,614
approving you to get your medical card and
I’m also going to take your normal driving

416
00:34:40,154 –> 00:34:45,335
license away from you because I don’t
believe that you should be on the road.

417
00:34:47,214 –> 00:34:51,635
I looked at him and said,
Hmm, what tests have you done?

418
00:34:52,570 –> 00:34:55,240
And what do you know about me?

419
00:34:56,210 –> 00:34:57,590
He’s like, Well, I can see you.

420
00:34:59,120 –> 00:35:04,910
I said, Oh, so the way I walk, the
way I walk and the way that my hands

421
00:35:04,930 –> 00:35:08,879
work, you can make that judgment?

422
00:35:09,740 –> 00:35:10,380
He said, Yep.

423
00:35:12,309 –> 00:35:17,465
So, that was a big, you know,
challenge to get through but

424
00:35:18,845 –> 00:35:20,605
we made it through, you know?

425
00:35:20,655 –> 00:35:27,645
I got a different doctor and, um, I,
I don’t know if that doctor lost his

426
00:35:27,715 –> 00:35:32,705
job because of that, I, I hope so
cause that, that wasn’t right at all.

427
00:35:33,685 –> 00:35:38,245
And, cause I, you know, I’ve
been driving since I was, well,

428
00:35:38,395 –> 00:35:44,345
eleven, but on the road since I was
sixteen and I have no accidents.

429
00:35:44,345 –> 00:35:49,635
Though, I have, though I’ve
been involved in a couple, but

430
00:35:49,655 –> 00:35:51,185
none of them were my fault.

431
00:35:52,425 –> 00:35:57,434
So, but it’s like, I have more
hours behind the wheel than

432
00:35:57,435 –> 00:36:00,655
that doctor did, I guarantee it.

433
00:36:00,675 –> 00:36:03,484
And I have basically no accidents.

434
00:36:03,494 –> 00:36:07,084
So it’s like, Who are you
to tell me I can’t drive?

435
00:36:07,954 –> 00:36:13,305
You know, it’s just, things
like that just, it gets old.

436
00:36:13,535 –> 00:36:14,615
It really does.

437
00:36:18,335 –> 00:36:22,985
Ed Watters: Yes, and I, I
very well understand that.

438
00:36:23,004 –> 00:36:27,880
You know, when we’re dealing with
those, uh, people that, make you feel

439
00:36:27,880 –> 00:36:31,240
inferior, it’s really discriminatory.

440
00:36:31,640 –> 00:36:36,639
And it’s obvious that you,
you have a passion and a

441
00:36:36,640 –> 00:36:39,920
drive to do good in the world.

442
00:36:39,950 –> 00:36:45,219
And it’s hiccups when we
run across people like that.

443
00:36:45,810 –> 00:36:51,465
You know, it’s not about a disability,
it’s about what abilities you do have.

444
00:36:51,665 –> 00:36:55,685
And that can change your whole outlook.

445
00:36:57,495 –> 00:37:03,055
So, yeah, you know, start looking at the
people’s abilities, not disabilities.

446
00:37:03,055 –> 00:37:11,664
Because, you know, after me receiving
my own disability, I, I’ve come to

447
00:37:11,664 –> 00:37:13,724
the conclusion we’re all disabled.

448
00:37:14,710 –> 00:37:20,650
You know, if, if we really take
that focus away from being disabled,

449
00:37:20,660 –> 00:37:26,980
because it’s really, we just have to
readjust and rediscover new ways of

450
00:37:27,039 –> 00:37:30,129
doing things like the watch, you know?

451
00:37:30,129 –> 00:37:33,870
And that’s really important
for people to figure out.

452
00:37:33,890 –> 00:37:38,030
And I’m, I’m just now getting to
that point, Nick, where I’m figuring

453
00:37:38,030 –> 00:37:41,350
out I, I don’t have to be disabled,

454
00:37:41,360 –> 00:37:45,080
I can actually share my abilities.

455
00:37:45,530 –> 00:37:52,830
And this is where, you know, I’m older
now, but yet I have so much to give and I

456
00:37:52,860 –> 00:37:54,910
don’t want to sit around and do nothing.

457
00:37:54,910 –> 00:38:02,885
So I have to educate myself and try
to understand and develop a way to

458
00:38:03,015 –> 00:38:10,285
come at life in a different, new
perspective, and that, that’s kind of a

459
00:38:10,285 –> 00:38:12,325
challenge that we all have to live with.

460
00:38:12,374 –> 00:38:20,425
And we don’t need people that are
going to be putting dampers on us.

461
00:38:20,425 –> 00:38:26,535
We, we want to be around people that
uplift us, and encourage us, and sometimes

462
00:38:26,645 –> 00:38:29,655
help us, because we all need help.

463
00:38:30,595 –> 00:38:34,550
Talk to us about needing
help at some time.

464
00:38:35,820 –> 00:38:36,270
Nick Yerhart: Yeah.

465
00:38:36,270 –> 00:38:43,920
I love this topic because, you know,
like I said before, I don’t say I can’t.

466
00:38:44,530 –> 00:38:46,560
Instead, I say, How can I?

467
00:38:47,230 –> 00:38:54,099
And now with that, there’s some
situations where if I need to do a

468
00:38:54,099 –> 00:39:02,030
task, instead of me saying, Oh, I
can’t do that, I find someone who can.

469
00:39:02,960 –> 00:39:05,380
So I ask for help, you know?

470
00:39:05,670 –> 00:39:12,290
Cause there’s things in life where,
you know, I don’t use knives, not

471
00:39:12,310 –> 00:39:15,300
a good idea for me to use a knife.

472
00:39:15,629 –> 00:39:21,470
So therefore, I ask family or friends
to, uh, cut my food or whatever.

473
00:39:21,850 –> 00:39:24,520
You know, I don’t use the oven.

474
00:39:24,740 –> 00:39:29,545
Because, me trying to get something
out of the oven, I will get burned.

475
00:39:29,635 –> 00:39:30,905
I guarantee it.

476
00:39:31,075 –> 00:39:34,485
So I’m just not gonna put
myself in that situation.

477
00:39:34,805 –> 00:39:36,915
So therefore I ask for help.

478
00:39:37,394 –> 00:39:41,885
And a lot of people have a
problem with asking for help.

479
00:39:42,505 –> 00:39:45,665
You know, they just want to
do everything themselves.

480
00:39:45,815 –> 00:39:46,215
Well,

481
00:39:48,385 –> 00:39:52,005
yes, it’s good to figure out
what you can do for yourself.

482
00:39:52,445 –> 00:39:58,335
So, I mean, I always try
something at least once.

483
00:39:58,395 –> 00:40:00,535
You know, I have cooked in the oven.

484
00:40:00,935 –> 00:40:06,615
I do occasionally use a knife,
but I try not to, you know?

485
00:40:06,784 –> 00:40:10,175
So it’s good to know
that I can if I need to.

486
00:40:10,805 –> 00:40:17,000
But if it’s something dangerous, or
something extremely difficult, or maybe

487
00:40:17,910 –> 00:40:23,430
it’s literally going to hurt you if you
do it, don’t be afraid to ask for help.

488
00:40:23,740 –> 00:40:28,840
And people are always more than
willing to give you a hand.

489
00:40:29,349 –> 00:40:38,500
But with that being said, don’t take
advantage of it, don’t use people.

490
00:40:39,430 –> 00:40:43,275
You know, don’t be lazy, don’t
make people do stuff for you just

491
00:40:43,415 –> 00:40:45,705
because you don’t want to do it.

492
00:40:46,605 –> 00:40:50,865
You know, instead, make sure that
if you need help, it’s something

493
00:40:50,865 –> 00:40:53,854
that you actually need help with.

494
00:40:55,245 –> 00:40:56,754
So yeah, that’s what I think.

495
00:40:58,524 –> 00:40:58,964
Ed Watters: Yeah.

496
00:41:00,375 –> 00:41:01,675
Yeah, that’s powerful.

497
00:41:01,874 –> 00:41:06,855
You know, taking advantage of
people is not a good thing.

498
00:41:06,865 –> 00:41:13,965
And many of us, you know, we don’t
have it in us to live right at times.

499
00:41:13,975 –> 00:41:20,455
So by sharing these stories,
people can actually look on and

500
00:41:21,285 –> 00:41:23,855
learn to emulate these stories.

501
00:41:23,875 –> 00:41:27,184
And that’s what the
power of podcasting is.

502
00:41:27,685 –> 00:41:30,075
You know, education is important, Nick.

503
00:41:30,425 –> 00:41:35,415
I need to know, how do
you educate yourself?

504
00:41:35,455 –> 00:41:40,190
Because I think it’s a long,
lifelong thing and every

505
00:41:40,190 –> 00:41:42,050
day we learn something new.

506
00:41:42,470 –> 00:41:46,850
So take us through the
journey of educating yourself.

507
00:41:48,320 –> 00:41:57,139
Nick Yerhart: So number one, podcast, I
love listening and learning from podcasts.

508
00:41:57,680 –> 00:42:05,390
So I listen to a lot of podcasts, but
the next thing that I do is, um, I,

509
00:42:05,610 –> 00:42:09,780
I read at least one book every week.

510
00:42:10,940 –> 00:42:16,490
And sometimes I don’t actually
physically read, I listen on Audible.

511
00:42:16,970 –> 00:42:22,649
Um, but with Audible, I can usually
get through two books a week on there.

512
00:42:23,480 –> 00:42:32,775
So what, what people need to know is,
there’s somebody out there who has the

513
00:42:32,785 –> 00:42:39,075
success you want, or has the marriage
you want, the relationship, the family

514
00:42:39,075 –> 00:42:41,865
you want, and guess what they did?

515
00:42:42,315 –> 00:42:44,265
They wrote a book about, about it.

516
00:42:44,975 –> 00:42:48,294
So, books are so powerful.

517
00:42:48,675 –> 00:42:53,495
There is a book out there to teach
you anything you need to know.

518
00:42:54,065 –> 00:43:02,975
So, I highly recommend getting Audible or
just buying a physical book and reading.

519
00:43:03,455 –> 00:43:09,165
And, you know, they say that the
average American reads one book a year.

520
00:43:10,195 –> 00:43:14,590
And, on average, I read one book a week.

521
00:43:15,260 –> 00:43:21,280
So I read fifty-one more books a
year than the average American.

522
00:43:21,770 –> 00:43:26,529
Now just think of where that
puts me at the end of the year

523
00:43:26,740 –> 00:43:28,600
versus the average American.

524
00:43:30,370 –> 00:43:33,740
You know, and it’s something
as simple as that, you know,

525
00:43:34,200 –> 00:43:36,830
read a book a week, you know?

526
00:43:37,600 –> 00:43:41,370
You know, your average
book, it takes what?

527
00:43:41,479 –> 00:43:43,999
Five, six hours to read.

528
00:43:44,820 –> 00:43:47,270
So there you go, an hour a day.

529
00:43:48,339 –> 00:43:55,050
Sit down at night at the end of the day,
I think that’s the best time, and just

530
00:43:55,260 –> 00:43:58,220
read, you know, I think it’s so important.

531
00:44:00,120 –> 00:44:00,360
Ed Watters: Yeah.

532
00:44:00,360 –> 00:44:05,970
And, and it also helps build
the cognitive function with

533
00:44:05,970 –> 00:44:08,200
you, you know, keep you sharper.

534
00:44:08,200 –> 00:44:13,300
And it really is something, if
you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.

535
00:44:13,730 –> 00:44:15,829
And it’s so true.

536
00:44:17,360 –> 00:44:24,100
So have we missed anything in our
conversation today that you think

537
00:44:24,140 –> 00:44:26,600
that people really need to know?

538
00:44:29,010 –> 00:44:35,835
Nick Yerhart: So I just wish that I
could see more people out there who are

539
00:44:36,285 –> 00:44:45,204
striving for the life that they actually
want instead of settling for the life that

540
00:44:45,204 –> 00:44:48,035
they were told they were going to have.

541
00:44:48,785 –> 00:44:54,615
You know, we all grow up and our
family, our friends, they live a

542
00:44:54,615 –> 00:45:01,735
certain way and we tend to follow in
their footsteps instead of discovering

543
00:45:01,955 –> 00:45:04,295
who we are and what we want.

544
00:45:04,865 –> 00:45:11,735
So I would encourage everyone, sit down
and think about your, your, your life

545
00:45:12,355 –> 00:45:18,884
and what you want out of life and what
you want people to remember you for.

546
00:45:19,695 –> 00:45:27,064
And after all that’s done, set
some goals, find people that can

547
00:45:27,064 –> 00:45:31,185
help you reach your goals, and
get out there and make it happen.

548
00:45:34,435 –> 00:45:34,795
Ed Watters: Yeah.

549
00:45:34,915 –> 00:45:36,445
That, that’s good advice, Nick.

550
00:45:36,835 –> 00:45:42,105
So let’s, let’s end it by telling
people a little bit about your

551
00:45:42,105 –> 00:45:46,695
services, your business, and
how you can get ahold of Nick.

552
00:45:49,085 –> 00:45:52,655
Nick Yerhart: So you can get
ahold of me by going to my

553
00:45:52,655 –> 00:46:01,050
website, it’s nickyerhart.com,
N-I-C-K-Y-E-R-H-A-R T.com.

554
00:46:01,590 –> 00:46:04,950
And on there, you, you
find everything I, I do.

555
00:46:05,040 –> 00:46:07,970
You’ll find my social
media links, everything.

556
00:46:08,650 –> 00:46:14,915
Um, the services I offer, I
do offer life, uh, coaching.

557
00:46:15,365 –> 00:46:21,460
So if you need some help, you
know, improving your mindset, your

558
00:46:23,000 –> 00:46:28,929
confidence, your marriage, like
we kind of cover it all, you know?

559
00:46:28,930 –> 00:46:33,729
And, you know, some people may go,
Well, I don’t need help with that.

560
00:46:34,579 –> 00:46:39,880
Well, I would encourage you to
get on a call with me so we can

561
00:46:40,230 –> 00:46:45,030
chat because you might realize
something that you don’t know yet.

562
00:46:46,020 –> 00:46:53,225
And then I’m also a certified 10X
business coach with Grant Cardone.

563
00:46:54,115 –> 00:46:59,985
So if you have a business and you
want to take it to the next level,

564
00:47:00,155 –> 00:47:04,585
which I don’t know why you wouldn’t
get ahold of me because I have

565
00:47:04,595 –> 00:47:10,865
all of Grant Cardone’s tools and
resources to help your business grow.

566
00:47:11,455 –> 00:47:16,625
And then the thing that I’m really
enjoying right now is I help

567
00:47:16,635 –> 00:47:18,735
people with their, uh, podcast.

568
00:47:19,265 –> 00:47:23,295
So if you have a podcast,
I can help you improve it.

569
00:47:23,295 –> 00:47:26,335
I can help you generate
revenue through your podcast.

570
00:47:26,755 –> 00:47:31,144
If you don’t have one, but you want
one, which you should because podcasting

571
00:47:32,255 –> 00:47:37,014
is awesome, then get ahold of me
because I can help you get started and

572
00:47:37,014 –> 00:47:38,755
get everything rocking and rolling.

573
00:47:39,095 –> 00:47:44,395
And again, help you create
revenue with your podcast.

574
00:47:44,825 –> 00:47:47,820
So, let’s, uh, make it happen.

575
00:47:49,810 –> 00:47:50,870
Ed Watters: I like it a lot.

576
00:47:50,930 –> 00:47:54,570
You know, when, when you
talk about getting it done,

577
00:47:54,570 –> 00:47:57,300
you have to start someplace.

578
00:47:57,340 –> 00:48:02,309
And that means reaching out
and getting a hold of somebody

579
00:48:02,309 –> 00:48:04,160
that knows what’s going on.

580
00:48:05,410 –> 00:48:09,960
Nick, it is such a delight
having you on the podcast.

581
00:48:09,990 –> 00:48:14,190
It’s awesome to have somebody
that’s so inspirational and I

582
00:48:14,200 –> 00:48:17,020
really do appreciate what you do.

583
00:48:17,310 –> 00:48:22,265
And I want to say thank you for
being part of the podcast today.

584
00:48:24,445 –> 00:48:25,085
Nick Yerhart: Of course.

585
00:48:25,105 –> 00:48:27,565
It was awesome, thank you so much.

586
00:48:32,145 –> 00:48:33,704
