Summary

David Fullmer, author of 'Becoming Seven: Superhuman Rhythm,' shares his journey from troubled youth and incarceration to building a successful roofing business across 19 states. He introduces a personal development framework built around seven daily principles (Motivation Monday through Supplication Sunday) designed to help people live to their full potential by leveraging natural brain patterns and emotional rhythms.

Insights
  • Personal development frameworks are most effective when anchored to existing cognitive patterns (days of the week) that are already deeply embedded in human neurology, making them easier to remember and implement consistently
  • Intuition and emotional intelligence are trainable skills that improve with deliberate practice and responsibility, particularly in high-stakes professions like medicine, military, and emergency services
  • Forgiveness is a practical business and life strategy, not just a moral principle—holding grudges creates internal stress that physically manifests and prevents forward progress
  • The gap between potential and achievement in humans is primarily psychological and mindset-based rather than circumstantial; 2-3% of people actually live to their full potential
  • Community and connection are foundational to resilience and success, yet modern digital culture has created unprecedented physical disconnection despite digital hyperconnectivity
Trends
Rise of science-backed personal development frameworks that integrate neuroscience, psychology, and ancient wisdom traditionsIncreasing focus on emotional regulation and breathwork techniques (Wim Hof method) as mainstream wellness practicesShift from 'F-you money' (wealth for independence/power) to 'love-you money' (wealth for relationships and impact) as success metric among entrepreneursGrowing recognition that mindset and gratitude directly correlate to business performance and measurable outcomesResurgence of spirituality and faith-based practices among high-performing professionals as counterbalance to secular productivity cultureStorm-chasing as a specialized contractor business model in disaster recovery and insurance restoration sectorsEmphasis on intergenerational trauma healing and forgiveness as prerequisite for personal and family business success

That's SelectQuote.com slash DSH. So we have those feelings of intuition that kind of break common sense sometimes. That's one thing I've really tried to exercise over the years is listening to the whisper, the inner spirit inside you and try to listen to that whisper in the wind. If I'm feeling myself getting upset, it's just huge breath holds. Like you're gonna be held under water. Just let yourself go lightheaded and exhale. Do that three times. What would you attempt to do if you knew you couldn't fail? Like what would you really go after if there was no way you were gonna have failure? And put that down and really go for it. All right guys, we got David on the show today. Just came out with a new book, Becoming Seven, Superhuman Rhythm. And we're gonna dive into that. You've had a lot of success in business and you're out here in Vegas having some fun, man. So let's get to it. Yeah, thanks for having me, Sean. How's the trip been? You've been speaking on panels. You've been going on pods. Yeah. You've been gambling too. Actually, I'm not a big gambler, but I do have an employee that was hit me up. He's like, dude, put 100 on black. So I did and it went black. Double duck. Not a lot of people can say they let Vegas double duck. We actually let, we're gonna be leaving with a profit of 100 bucks. Well, that's stuck. That pays for the dinner, right? Yeah. We're an appetizer in Vegas, at least. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's expensive out here. But how's the roofing's your main thing? Yeah. So I've been in basically general construction and all types of construction. I was a Stonemason for years, but the last kind of since 2008 been really heavy in the roofing game. Nice. When I was a kid, my very first job, when I was a kid, when I kind of ran away from home, I had a guy that we went and worked for doing flat roofs. So my very, very first job as a kid was working for cash on roofing. Yeah. Pretty heavy job. Was that in Hawaii or? No, that was actually in Utah. Utah. Okay. I was gonna say Hawaii probably rains a lot, right? Yeah. Yeah. I'll hear the tons or a lot of flat roofs out here. I feel like Vegas. So that's how you started. Yeah. Yeah. Got into that. Well, it wasn't when I was 14, that was the first thing my first job ever had, but I went through a lot of different things. And when my family and I had moved back out to Hawaii, we got hit with a 50 year storm. And there was a ton of roof damage throughout the islands. And so there was a vacuum and it needed to be filled. And so a bunch of other contractors, I know kind of gone on board and that kind of got me really pushing into the heavy just roofing game. Wow. What year was that storm? That was 2011. So I was doing roofs here and there as a GC, but when that storm hit, there was just hundreds of homes damaged. So I just got into kind of production and assembly line, just one single trade getting really focused on just roofing. It's been crazy since. I know a few people that they live out here, but they chase storms. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like there was a big one in Florida, I think a year or two ago. So they flew out. Oh, yeah. And like we're going to houses and he closed a couple of them. He made some money. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. People do that. Oh, yeah. Storm chasers, huh? Oh, yeah. There's guys that they just sit and wait in the minute they see a storm that. The hail storm and the snow storm. Hail wind hurricane. Yeah. We're not really big storm chasers. So I have a, I have an office out of Wiley, Texas and we can service around 19 states. And then I run the location out. It's another location out in Hawaii on all the Chana Islands. So when we're not big storm chasers, when a storm comes, if there's someone has damage, we'll work that and help homeowners out in the system, but we're mostly retail. So we're just, we're not like around chasing all the storms. That's a racket. I don't do that. I like to be around my family. And yeah, you're a big family, man. Right? That's one of the seven things in your book. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. Yeah. Let's dive into that. So there's seven, becoming seven. So there's seven kind of themes, right? Yeah. So, so as a young kid, my dad was one of the first, probably like 20 employees of Stephen Covey. And he wrote the book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. And so it's kind of around personal development at a young age. I've always enjoyed it. Had a real wayward time in my life. And then when I was coming back to being sober and sober-minded and physical and physically and spiritually, finding myself, I kind of dug back into those old times when I was little and just started really studying and reading and reading and reading about all the different philosophies. I was always intrigued like how there can be a family and one sibling is super successful and another one's just a dud. And I'm like, what is it? What is it that takes someone that has all the same tools? So this person has all the same tools and only one person really goes big and the other kind of stays stagnant and it just tripped me out. Same environment, but different outcomes. Yeah. And I've always interested in really the human experience and how we can live the most out of this life. And so we got really into meditations, heavy into Marcus Aurelius and listening to Jim Rome Tapes when I was a kid with my dad cruising up PCH was incredible to get back into that. So yeah, and then just naturally in business started living these things, had some bumps in the road and decided, you know what, I'm going to create this. I had a few days of the weeks that I already lived during my business career and having various different businesses. And then a few, I came across, so growing, I kind of grew up in a religious family. And so Sunday was really, really important, but I was always wondered about the other days. I used to have whisper in the wind Wednesday was like my little inspiration. Wednesdays. Yeah, whisper Wednesday. And then I came across a study that more people have heart attacks on Monday morning from 8am to noon than any other time. Interesting from stress. Yeah. And kind of like, sorry, basically from them not having their why or what, you know, what are they doing, where are they going? They're just tossed amongst the sea is so to speak, right? They don't have a direction in their life. And so that was huge to me. It's like, you're telling me, all everybody's mostly having heart attacks. It's not their ethnicity. It's not their background. It's not where they live. It's not their cholesterol level. It's not their age. It's straight up. They're confused. So their cortisol levels super high Monday morning. I've got another week of, I don't like this. I have another week of, I don't know who I really am. And so when I came across that, that was heavy. And I was like, okay, that's going to be motivation Monday. And then all the days I really studied, I really studied into the human experience and what emotions take place on different days of the week. And there's an actual algorithm behind it of emotions in its trip, dude. So I went down this rabbit hole. Okay. I could guess Monday and Friday. I don't know what's what the other days would be. So Tuesday and we can go, we just got Monday. So that's motivation Monday. And so that's really, I like to help people take the whiteboard and whiteboard their life, dream big, dream really big. And almost to the point, it's like, what would you attempt to do if you knew you couldn't fail? Like, what would you really go after if there was no way you were going to have failure and put that down and really go for it? And then the next day is Tuesday. And Tuesday is tracking Tuesday. And that's like the day of the avatar, I call it. God gave us two eyes and two ears to be very observant and one mouth. And I think sometimes we need to be quiet and not just listen to others, but be attentive to the way that we're kind of showing up to others and the way we're communicating with people. And so it's really a really cool day, a day of awareness to track our thoughts. So the average person has around 60,000 thoughts a day, 80% of them are negative. That's crazy. Yeah. Wow. And high level super humans. Okay. They're the exact opposite. They have only around 20% or negative. They have 80% positive. That's actually fascinating. So they rewire their whole brain. Yes. To think positively. Yeah. And then 90% of everything that humans do, 90% of their thoughts and what they're doing are the same they did the day before, the day before. Yeah. Subconscious, right? Yes. So you have all these subconscious army ants in your brain. And what fires them off to go and do is the thoughts that you have. So if you have constantly negative thoughts, these army ants can't, your subconscious mind can't distinguish between fact and fiction. Right? So if it says, you know what, you're healthy, you've got this, those army ants go after it and they fire the vibration in your body to fight cancer cells, to rejuvenate, to have less inflammation. You can inflame your body from thinking negatively. 100%. They've done studies on this. On, they've done studies on people with certain diseases and positive, the only difference was positive and negative mindset. And the outcomes were so different. Yeah. They've done it in testing, like they'll come in, they brought, they brought, they have two case studies where they have a teacher walk into the classroom and just totally unload on the students. You guys are a bunch of idiots. I can't believe I'm giving you this test, blah, blah, blah, just yelling at them, creating all this cortisol, right? And then they take a test. And then the next case study, they come in and the teacher's like, guys, you know what, there's going to be a tough test, but I believe in you. I'm super stoked that you guys are here, blah, blah, blah, blah, just a total different atmosphere of leadership and their test scores are higher. Makes sense. Fear based approach doesn't work these days. Yeah. So that's kind of tracking Tuesday is make sure that we're having those, those positive thoughts. And then another thing is knowing between Monday and Tuesday is knowing who you are. The average person has 4,098 grandmas and grandpas DNA inside them. So here's this huge pyramid of all these humans that live before you, and it's all coming down to you in this short moment of time. And I bring that up because you're very, very important. A lot of people don't feel that they're important. And that's not true. The average person will affect 40,000 other people in their lifetime. Wow. From their decisions. That's crude. And so it's like, let's be honest, most people don't struggle with knowing how to lose weight. They struggle with staying consistent long enough to actually see results. That's why Hymns caught my attention. Weight loss by Hymns now offers access to an affordable range of FDA approved GLP1 medicine. In business, I'm always trying to get the best outcome for the best price. So it's kind of crazy. I haven't looked at my life insurance in years. I don't even know if what I'm paying is competitive or if I have enough coverage with how things have changed. That's why I started looking into select quote for over 40 years, they've helped more than 2 million Americans secure over $700 billion in coverage. Their whole model is simple. They shop around to find you the right policy for your specific needs. So you're not overpaying or undercovered. Their licensed agents work for you in as little as 15 minutes.

Everyone is royalty. Everyone is superhuman and we're all connected. They just need to go in and find it. And so that's the mindset I'm trying to put forward is I really want to help change the human experience. And there's so many talented people out there that will never ever have the opportunity to go because they don't take the opportunity to think about it. I got this. You know, all the greatest inventions, greatest ideas, greatest athletes, greatest superhumans there ever were all in cemeteries. They're full of people who never took the chance to go for it. It's something around 2% to 3% of humans will really live to their full potential. And so another crazy thing is I like to talk about is we as human beings are the only ones that will willfully choose to not live up to our potential. So if there's a pod of dolphins, they're going to multiply and replenish in their respective elements. A tree will always grow as tall and as wide and as far down its root system as the water, sunlight and wind will allow. It will never stop and say, you know what? I'm not going to grow that high. You know, the ants, the critters, the creatures, none of them will ever just decide, I don't want to be great. It's only us. And so it's really, and it's the main quote in my book is the only reality, the quote, my quote that I love, the only reality is the one that I create and the greatest reality I can create is one that impacts humanity. And we've come to this place in our culture where all just little islands, I think we think we're not as connected. And it's the furthest from the truth. Every decision that we make and everything that we do has an effect on the person for generations of time. It's like that little ripple effect. And I think we've grown our culture and our society has grown into such a me, me, my mind. We've gotten away from the farmlands. It's like, you know, as a people, especially here in America, we all used to work so much together. You had to, like farming chores and all these different things. People were, families were so connected. And it seems like we've grown into this, oh, I've got all this on my own. And, you know, I hope I can help show people that it's okay to be connected to others and help do things in community and networks and because we're all so connected. Yeah, I feel like we're the most connected we've been digitally, but physically we're the most disconnected we've been, you know? Yeah, 100%. Like the access to just connection online is so easy and like you can meet thousands of people, like we'll post this podcast and I'll hit a bunch of people, but in person, it seems to be lost. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, and it's balanced, like you can't live without it. I mean, look at the power of the digital age, like you're saying, it's like you can, you could sit, you and I can sit right here and millions and millions of people can experience this conversation, which is really, really cool. But yeah, you're right. And that moves us on to Whisper Wednesday. And that's Whisper Wednesday is, it's a day of intuition. If you were to go ask all your first responders, doctors, airline pilots, anyone, you know, Army Rangers, Navy Seals, hey, anyone that has the weight of like responsibility for people's safety of their life has such a heightened sense of intuition. And it's because they have to, they exercise it, like their boats burnt. There's no coming back, like you're a doctor, the weight of the world's on you to save this patient. Okay. And so when you have that responsibility, that's why I like push people to put responsibility, responsibility is a good thing. It helps, you know, shape you. And if you were to talk to them, hey, do you ever have a situation where you just had a hunch or a feeling? Oh, and you can just pull up and start taking notes because they'll rain it down on you. And so Wednesday is Whisper Wednesday. And I coach people to completely tune out of the digital age. Put the camera away. Yep. Just put your phone away the first half of the day. You know, I go on, I usually go on like an eight mile whisper walk. Wow. In the woods that I call, I go down the street, go up my, down from Pupukaya, go up to a pill box through the mountains and home and just complete silence. And you'd be surprised when you listen to your heart. Everyone has this little still small voice inside them and it's very powerful, but that still small voice can't come out and can communicate with your mind. You can't connect your heart to your mind until you slow the hustle and bustle down. Stop looking at everybody else and just, just look within. And so Whisper Wednesday is a day of inspiration. So yeah, that's impressive. I'll try it out. Yeah. I don't know about eight miles, but start, we'll go on a walk. Start there. And well, it's just getting to an organic environment too. Like if you can go out to the desert, desert's a beautiful place. People like think, oh, why would I want to go to the desert? Just go sit out there for a couple hours. You know, listen to your whisper. Okay. It'll come out. So that's Wednesday. What's Thursday? So moving on to Thursday. Thursday is an amazing day. It's thankful Thursday. When do we have Thanksgiving? Thursday, right? Thursday. Yeah. Yeah. So Thursday's a day of gratitude. And so the dichotomy is, is it goes like this, an army of lions led by a sheep, okay, will always be defeated by an army of sheep led by a lion. And that is the, the answer to that is aptitude and attitude and gratitude when those come together and attitude of gratitude than anything is possible. And so a true leader that can lead their family and themselves can look at every situation and say, there's always an opportunity here for growth. And I think too many times we think we're going through all this hard times and this and that in which everyone does and they aren't easy because we all suffer in our own little ways. But if we can have that attitude that I'm going to learn something from this, then those weight, that weight of the world feels lighter. 100%. Right. I agree. Treat everything as like a lesson, right? Yep. That's how I view failure too. Yep. Yeah. And all, cause all real success is, is going from failure to failure to failure to failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. And so I've got this one day, right? I mean, how many times did you fall on your face and with some kick in? At the end. At the end. You know, but when you're young, I feel like you can afford fail a little more. So I was trying to get those out of the way when I was a teenager in my 20s. Yeah. I mean, I still fail now, but, but you've done really, really well, but that's because you went for it. Yeah. I hustled, went for it. Now it's more balanced for me on my current stage. Yeah. You know, cause I used to work 18 hour days, got burnt out. Yeah. How's your state of gratitude? Pretty good. I have a gratitude journal. Yeah. Yeah. Every day. Yeah. I've been on a bunch of these, a bunch of podcasts and met a lot of, a lot of, I consider you superhuman. I mean, look at your reach. And it doesn't matter what industry you're in. If you have an impact and are helping a lot of people and it's, you're considered superhuman. So I've met a lot of superhumans and it's all similar. Like all these principles that I teach, they're all living them in their own ways. And I've just basically condensed them and, and simplified a way that they live them because honestly, there's a lot of people that don't wake up and actually write down all the things that they're grateful for and they're suffering. And it's such a simple thing. It's very simple, very quick. And I've split tested it. I've gone like a month without doing any in a month with, and I just feel better. See, the business does better too. It's crazy. Isn't that? There's, there's literally a direct correlation. Yeah. Yeah. And, and that's, that's the crazy thing. A lot of people look at others and they just look at others and look at others and think, Oh, it's, they just had some crazy gift or something like that. It's not true. Not at all. I used to think that way when I was younger, well, not anymore. Yeah. It's just a different recipe. Right. And that's, that's a huge ingredient is gratitude. And so yeah. We talk a lot on the show about AI automation productivity, but honestly, most people are still just talking about it instead of actually using it in a useful way. For me, the biggest difference has been saving time. There's so much repetitive stuff when you're running a podcast or business, organizing leads, moving info between apps, updating workflows, following up with people, and that stuff eats your day alive. That's why I've been using Zappier more. Zappier is how you actually put AI to work across your business instead of just chasing hype. Their AI orchestration platform lets you connect tools like chat, you've been in cloud with the apps your team already uses. You could automate workflows, build AI powered systems, customer chat bots and way more. And the best part is you don't need to be technical. It's built for normal people too, not just developers. We've used it to simplify a lot of backend tasks. And honestly, once you automate the repetitive stuff, you get a ridiculous in business. I'm always trying to get the best outcome for the best price. So it's kind of crazy. I haven't looked at my life insurance in years. I don't even know if what I'm paying is competitive, or if I have enough coverage with how things have changed. That's why I started looking into select quote for over 40 years. They helped more than 2 million Americans secure over $700 billion in coverage. Their whole model is simple. They shop around to find you the right policy for your specific needs so you're not overpaying or undercover. Their licensed agents work for you in as little as 15 minutes.

Teams have already automated over 300 million AI tasks using Zapier, which is kind of insane. During the millions of businesses transforming how they work with Zapier and AI, get started for free by visiting zapier.com slash social hour. That's Z A P I E R dot com slash social hour. Then moving on Friday. Friday's a heavy one. Yeah. Yeah. It's one of the hardest superhuman attributes to ever acquire and that's forgiveness. Forgiveness Friday. So and the reason Friday is is you have you're coming off a Thursday. So you have a heightened state of dopamine. When you're super grateful, you just feel good. So you're coming into Friday and that was always a day when we were kids. You get a dollar elementary school, you get a little ice cream after school or everyone's stoked because you're going into the weekend and you don't have work. Most people. And so is there a party tonight? Everyone's cruising. Right. And so that is a good time to reflect on what's holding us back. And most of the time it's something in the past. Right. And it is so key that we let those things go. I can't say it enough. And there's four principles of forgiveness that need to be followed. We need to forgive the past family members and people that wronged us, whether it's our mom, dad, aunties, uncles, siblings. We have to go back into that zone and say, you know what? You're human. You made a mistake. You hurt me. I forgive you. And whether it's letting them know, maybe they've passed on, doesn't matter. What matters is you let it go because it holds you back. The next is to forgive people currently that have wronged you. This doesn't mean you let them back in your life if they're not safe. Right. But you live free of any negative vibes to that person. The next is to forgive yourself because some of us hold ourselves to the highest standard and we beat ourselves up so much. And then the last is to say sorry when you make a mistake, but don't ever apologize unless you absolutely mean it and it's the right timing. Interesting. Okay. So because sometimes you do things, they're just a heavy situation and it needed to happen. But yeah, that's it. And so like my wife and I flew here, it was five, I think it was five hours and 20 minutes. We're going to be going back. It's a whole hour different. So back to Hawaii, you've got the same pilot, same plane, same people, same distance, same altitude. Why is it an hour difference? It's a headwind versus a tailwind. So all these human beings are going through their life thinking in their mind, you know what, I'm not going to let that go. Thinking in their mind that they're holding someone accountable by not letting go and not forgiving. And it's the exact opposite. Right. Nelson Mandela, when he was asked, hey, now you're president, are you going to, guy was locked up for what, 20 years by a long time? Yeah. I think it was more than that. Yeah. By people that just for no reason, that just hated them. Yeah. You know, because of color of skin or whatever. And here he becomes big chief, big boss. What does he say? No, I'm not going to do anything. Wishing bad on my enemy is like drinking poison and hoping it kills them. And so forgiveness is just one of the most powerful emotions of freedom. It's the most freeing, one of the most freeing mechanisms. Yeah. I had to learn that at a young age, you know, my father never forgave his father. Wow. For the way he was raised. So I saw him live in that pain and that like that hurt my whole life. And it affected his whole life. It affected him his whole life. I think he lived a lot less than he should have because of it. You know, he's no longer here, but it just ate at him, dude. When you don't forgive someone for that long, I mean, oh my God, destroys you physically. Yeah. Start resorting to alcoholism, whatever, to get through the pain. Yeah, I did a post a year ago and on forgiveness, Friday, I was just a little post on my social and I ended up getting DM'd by someone that says, how can this guy preach forgiveness when he knocks somebody's teeth out or something hurt someone's teeth and blah, blah, blah. And it was literally when I was 15 years old in high school, 16, I got in a fight with the guy. He did his homework on you. Well, the crazy thing was, is like he was going through a heavy time. He DM'd me and I DM'd him back. I'm like, bro, if this happened, I'm sorry, I don't know. Well, we ended up like messaging back and forth. We ended up calling each other. So here's this guy and he gets on the phone and he's weeping. He's like, because I just apologized. I said, dude, I had no idea that I did that to you. Like I had no idea you went through that. I guess he had to have his, his, Oh, you did that to him. Oh, God. Now I got it. Yeah. Sorry. Wow. So yeah, I had, I guess we got in a fight in the lunch room. Yeah. And in that scuffle, I guess I had punched him and he, and because I was a little rascal when I was junior high high school and I guess he had a surgery and I never knew, never, never heard of anything. And so here he is literally 30 years later, right? And I'm talking to him and I just said, dude, whatever the cost was, I'll pay for it, whatever your surgery, talk to your mom. I'm so sorry. I just want to get it off of my plate. Yeah. And I felt bad and he just wept. Like, here's this grown man, 47 years old, saying, dude, I've hated you for 30 years. Jeez. And he's like, I'm going through some stuff right now with my brother that's really heavy. And the fact that this is all coming to right now, he's like, I think I need to forgive my brother too. And I was like, yeah, bro. Wow. So this, and now we're friends. So here was this moment, but this individual held on for 30 years. 30 years, this guy's been hating me and I had, I had no clue, Sean. But there's probably so many stories like that. And it's like, how many of us did something we didn't even know or something's out there. So that wasn't for me, that was for him. I mean, also for me now that I know, but it just compounding the fact that I believe in forgiveness, you know? It's important, man. I've told this story a few times before. I got bullied a lot by this one kid in high school. And I found out at our 10 year reunion last year that he's now a heroin addict. And it's just like, damn, I mean, like he was probably bullying me because he got a rough situation going on, you know? But I was really sad to hear that it turned out that way for him. Yeah, especially you look at your life and you know, you're living the life that you wanted to design. And not everybody can say that, you know? And here's this kid that did that stuff to you. And now look at the script. You have compassion for him. I do. Yeah. He was like the popular high school quarterback or whatever. So he was living it all back in those days. The back in 1982 throw football. Yeah. A lot of people, not a lot of people, but like people peak in high school, you know? And it's kind of sad to see what turns out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree. I was basically destined to be in prison. And I've had friends from high school hit me up and, Dave, I need a job multiple. Wow. And you know, so. So you did the complete opposite? Yeah. My childhood was, I mean, we didn't get into that, we can, but yeah, it was quite an interesting thing. But I have 13 kids. My parents had 13 children. Wow. Yeah. Nine boys and four girls. Damn. And we moved, well, like 27 times by the time I was like 17, 18. So you had no friend group, no consistency. Yeah, like we were talking before, before we started the pod. Like, I, any time I got to know a friend, we moved. Yeah. Like it was like, I was almost afraid to get a close friend. Makes sense. And that was back then when you couldn't text them to, so you lost complete non-tactile. It was like, that was back when we were playing like, you know, TNC skate on Nintendo. Like Nintendo was the thing back then. And like, I remember one of our neighbors had Nintendo, we didn't have it because we had so many kids. I think we eventually did, but anyways, we could go play Nintendo and skateboard and go surf at the beach and stuff. But it was hard because I really hated my parents because of it. Until later in life, I realized I had skills to communicate, to make friends and to be someone that understands multiple cultures and situations. And I wouldn't have those skills had I not moved that much. So I always look at it as a negative in the minute. And it's so crazy in our lives when we, when we see the silver lining and say, yeah, I went through all this negative stuff, but dude, look what's come of it. Right. So forgive us Friday. You had to forgive your parents. Oh yeah. Yeah. You had to sit them down and forgive them. Did you do that? I, I, not just forgive them, I, I thank them. So on my journey, it wasn't like, because my, my mom one time said, David, I'm so sorry we moved so much. And I said, mom, dude, I forgive you. I love you, but I'm thanking you now. I remember the last couple of times we had this conversation. I mean, we just wept and I just said, I am so grateful that you moved me that much because you showed me that nothing is really mine except for my agency and my choice, like what I do in my life. Those aren't my friends. I don't own my friends. I don't own my material things, wealth, money, nothing. The only thing that you have is your ability to think the way that you want to and make the decisions that you make. And so that was a huge thing. But as a kid, it's like, I was the, really the black sheep and that when we moved a lot, we moved, we ended up moving to Utah from Southern California. I kind of, I grew up on mostly beach areas. My dad was a surfer. So he taught us all those kids were surfing since we were five, six years old and moved to Utah and it was just hell. Like when you take a kid from the ocean, you know, I'm like 11, 12 years old. I'm like, dude, to Utah, they close everything at like 8 PM there. Complete opposite lights. And I got long blonde hair, I'm a little beach rat. I probably swore a lot more than I should have. We got to throw up a photo of you with the long blonde hair. But it was gnarly. And so I was an outcast, didn't really fit into any of the kids there. And so I started getting a lot of in business. I'm always trying to get the best outcome for the best price. So it's kind of crazy. I haven't looked at my life insurance in years. I don't even know if what I'm paying is competitive or if I have enough coverage with how things have changed. That's why I started looking into select quote for over 40 years. They've helped more than 2 million Americans secure over $700 billion in coverage. Their whole model is simple.

So I got put in youth corrections custody when I was a kid. And so I went to youth lock up facilities 12 times went to four different youth programs. I went to wilderness ascent, redcliffs ascent, ONA, which is called observation and assessment. And then like group youth quest and then group homes. Wow. So you got a lot of identity issues when you were a kid on earth. Yeah, I was just angry, dude. Like I told you we moved all those times and then they took me away from the minute I was taken from the ocean. I was like, I'm like, I don't know, F this I'm going, I'm going Richter and I don't want it. And my mom, it's not like she could, my dad was a traveling like sales and training guy. And so he was never there. He wasn't present that much. And how can you when you got me 13 kids, I mean, my mom's got at this time, she's got nine kids, probably three of them in diapers. Right. And she's, she's just weighed down with like, no one's checking on me. I'm out. It's like, you know, I'm checking with my mom every couple of days and she's trying to find out where I'm at. We don't have cell phones back then. It's like, I think we were just coming into the pager age. Wow. So, but it was pretty heavy. It was heavy to see my mom's face when the judge was like, okay, you're now warden state of Utah. Like the judge looked right at me says you're, you're your parent. Sorry, Mrs. Fulmer, but you can't control them. We're going to have to came in, put me in handcuffs and sent me to a wilderness program in St. George, Utah. Geez. Was it effective? I just, I actually liked it. Really? But it was really hard. I admit that it was really, really, really hard. But I enjoyed the mountains and I enjoyed challenges. I actually did really, really good in these environments. And then I'd get back out and make a bunch of dumb mistakes and give them back in. So I excelled when I was in the zone because I knew what I had to do to get out. Interesting. So I was, you know, so those were your teenage years. Those are my teenage. And then my best friend, I met in junior high. He was kind of my role dog partner. He's a Tongan boy. He's from the island of Tongan. Oh, island. Okay. Yeah. So you know, like Samoa Tongan, they have Tongan, Samoa, the EGNs. Those guys fight in the power slap that I always go to. Yeah. They do the power slap and then you ever seen the, the rugby challenge. All the other head-on. No amount of money. No amount of money. I would do that one for maybe slap if it was like a million, but no, the running full force at you. Hell no. Dude, those guys are just animals. Yeah. I can't believe those. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. So I rolled with, with, with, he was my best friend. He's from Tonga and he basically was, he was, he was born in Honolulu then moved to Tonga and LA and we met up in junior high. He had just moved from California to, we just roll, got in a bunch of trouble, but his family was moving back to the North Shore when we were 17. And so I was locked up. My mom and dad met with his parents and talked to him and my pro officer said, Hey, if you leave the state of Utah and don't get any trouble until you're 18, we'll, we'll let you off. We'll let you go to Hawaii. So just leave. So his dad at my, my, my, uh, my Hanai dad is what they call it in the islands. Uh, Fleti Matale. He, he basically signed the papers, took me in and that was it. I was on this amazing journey. I got sober, um, and started coming back to my faith and really trying to find God and figure things out for myself because it was like five, six years of just complete gnarly party in and more than that, eight years, more than that of just like, you know, I was smoking weed. By 12 years old, I was selling weed like you would. I was, I had the, yeah. I mean, I, in junior high, I was supplying half the high school with all that crazy. It was, you know, here I'm this little innocent little kid. My mom's looking at me and I got a backpack for a bud. I sold it in college to get by too. Yeah. So it's gotta do what you got to do. And I was good at it. Yeah. And I was a little sales guy. I was nice at it. Yeah. Yeah. I was nice. It's a good skill. It is. Now it's legal, but yeah. Well, my other, my older brother, Joey had, he just had a really good dank connection. Oh yeah. He had the plug. He had it, dude. And so everyone had that kind of that, the dirt weed from the border. Oh, especially on the east coast. Yeah. We had the shittiest weed on the east coast. Where it's like, you bend it and seeds just go, yeah, yeah. Cause they all grow on the west coast. So like by the time I got to Jersey, where I was, I was shit. Yeah. Yeah. It was just the total dirt weed. And, but my brother Joey had the nugs. And so that really put me above the rest. You could step it down. Yes. Yeah. I kind of get what I want. But anyway, so yeah, going through all that, but I ended up getting sober in Hawaii and I was really on fire in my life. Finally, like the first time in my life, I'm like, dude, I'm kind of getting to handle this thing. And I was in, I was just happy at the end of the day. Nice. Finding joy. Just surfing and hanging out the beach and with friends. And it was just amazing. And I come home to visit and hang out at my mom's house. She has eight kids at home and she comes to all of us older kids because I'm the fourth oldest. Okay. So there's a bunch of little munchkins below me. And she says, Hey, you know, I'm going to be divorcing your dad. And that was just like, that's heavy. You didn't see that comment at all. No, I just thought we were the perfect little whatever. Wow. So they hated it from you guys, all the fighting. It wasn't necessarily fighting. My dad had, you know, some moments of weakness and through his moral failing, unfortunately, and fortunately, because everything happens and it was pretty southern. Yeah. Yeah. So at, at, at, out of nowhere, my mom's hate, you know, I'm asking your dad to leave and my dad had stepped out on my mom. And, um, and it was just really gnarly for all of us. And my mom had eight kids at home and my dad financially, I think emotionally, mentally, he was just on his own wavelength that wasn't helping much at all financially. So my mom went and got two jobs. So she's working the graveyard. And I still remember the night after my brother, Joey dropped me off the house. He says, Hey, dude, you gotta, you gotta help mom. We're all married. You're the oldest isn't married. And I wasn't equipped to be a dad. Like, yeah, how old were you? I was what 21, 22. That's pretty young to get married though, I feel like. Yeah. Yeah. I was, I wasn't, I wasn't equipped to get to like be a, not a surrogate father, but you know what I mean, be a pops. They were my siblings. I loved them. And so I moved in, stayed with my mom. My mom worked two jobs. I worked framing houses and working construction and we just made it, made ends meet. You know, my mom was an amazing human being and she taught me so much about, uh, forgiveness. You know, I always tell the story. I figured out how to get my mom 350 bucks per kid. Oh yeah. Yeah. You know, I was like, cause the, the, the child services, they basically, you can just file papers, right? You know, it's, it's kinda like the EBT card, but you got kids and you need help. They're the states that help you, right? Got it. State of Utah. So I had this big plan. I was like, Hey mom, dude, you don't have to work. You got eight kids, you know, eight times three something. There you go. There's our rent. Yeah. There's our rent, you know. And she just, you know, put her hands on my face and gave you a big hug, told me she loved me. She said, David, it's, it's better that we work than the little kids see their dad go to jail because there's a possibility he could be put in jail. He doesn't help pay. Holy crap. And I was just sitting there like, Whoa, like this is heavy. And she's like, we need to forgive him. Just let it go. He's going through it right now. And, and so her, her, and I mean, I have story after story, my mom of acts of forgiveness and just complete love. Like, and she's a happy, very, very happy person. And I love being around her. She always just so positive. And so she's kind of my, my scepter when it comes to that. And you know, she was the, the rod that I really held on to. I can tell you in my business career times, multiple times when I just felt like giving up, like literally like F this, I'm over this trip and you've been there and building your business, you know, and you hit that rock, rock bottom. And I, you know, I closed my eyes and I just see my mom, you know, I see my mom going, hitting a graveyard shift and just never given up and working. And I just couldn't ever give up because of that. Respectives, everything, man. My mom came here from China, 20 bucks in her pocket, didn't speak English, scrubbed the floors of a shitty restaurant. Now she became a self made millionaire. I love it. So I just see what she had to go through. And I'm like, damn, I got it easy. And it's respect, you know, and, and, and you build on that. And that's, that's the key partly in motivation Monday stories like that is filling your mind full of all the people that had nothing and made something of their life. You're constantly reading the stories in the books and instead of just entertaining your mind and living vicariously through all these people on social media, like, what are you really learning about people that did great things? You can use your phone and social media to do that. But how many of us sit and just scroll and scroll our lives away? Or just whatever it might be and just entertain ourselves to death? And we're not rolling. Yeah. Yeah. And we just don't get out and get our things done. So you got to take action. Every time I do them scroll, I try to sprinkle in something in between, you know, play a game of chess, listen to an audio book or do something work out. Because if you're just scrolling for hours a day, yeah, it's not good. Yeah. But, well, from Friday, we move into Saturday and Saturday satisfaction Saturday. And so it's just making sure you're having fun with the ones that you love, right? No one on their death bed is ever going to say, I wish I spent more time at the office, right? They're going to be like, wait a minute, right? There's that same, same common thread in humanity where you see the old gray man and there's two stories. There's the guy that forgave and loved and had moments of amazing incredible, incredible times with those that he loved. And then there's the one that just, man, I wish I would have, I wish I would have, I wish I would have, you know, the regret. And so it's key. I always, I have a saying and it's love you money, not F you money. See, a lot of people, you've heard the phrase, Sean, first of all, dude, that guy's got F you money. Yeah. In business, I'm always trying to get the best outcome for the best price. So it's kind of crazy. I haven't looked at my life insurance in years. I don't even know if what I'm paying is competitive, or if I have enough coverage with how things have changed. That's why I started looking into select quote for over 40 years, they've helped more than 2 million Americans secure over $700 billion in coverage. Their whole model is simple.

That's select quote.com slash dsh. I don't ever want to be with anyone with FU money. I want to be around people would love you money. I'll be around people. There's two types of individuals, individuals that use people to get things. And then there's people who use the things that they have to love people. And those that's it. That's the love you money versus the FU money. And so we want, we need to be absolutely striving to make money. But why? So that we can have moments with the ones that we love and our friends and our homies and everybody we associate with. And then the last is that we have memories. So that's kind of satisfaction Saturday. I dig deep into that in my book. And then moving into Sunday. So I was talking to Adriana out there. He's a legend or you're outside man. And I think it's Pereira. Yeah. Yeah. He's a really good dude. He knows a bunch of the dudes that I know. And shout out to Asahi Republic for the Asahi Bullets. I can't wait to try one. Oh my gosh. I've had it actually because they've got a place up on the North Shore. It's good. Asahi brother. Can't wait. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's it's cool. But he's a black belt. Jiu-Jitsu has his own club. And I'm a brown belt. I've been doing Jiu-Jitsu for 14 years. That's a breath of man. I know how hard that is. It is way hard. And I'm kind of a sandbagger. Like I had few injuries and I'm just just totin away. I just had rotator in my full replacement of my shoulder. And so I've been out for about 10 months and I'm just about to get started against you. Jeez. You're hitching to get back in. Oh my gosh. I watched too many Jiu-Jitsu rails. I'm just like, oh my gosh, I just got it. But in that pursuit, in that love, if you were to talk to Black Belts Brown, anyone that's really been in Jiu-Jitsu for over a decade and are good people, if you talk to any of them and say, what have you learned? Have you, one of the greatest things you did they've learned is humility. Sean, I can't even tell you how many times I have tapped out. That's a brown belt. Thousands. No, I'm talking from my journey. Oh, God. From white to brown. Got it. That makes sense. So your journey, you are tapping just like in your business. How many times you get your face kicked in in the early stages of your white belt business days? A lot. Okay. Now you're a Black Belt in business. You're going for the coral belt. You're making way less mistakes. And so what I mean by that is I had to learn to submit. I'm submitting to a higher power. So it's supplication Sunday. And so as humans, when we learn to tap out to a higher power in this universe, something up there greater than us, I call that tapping. Now I call that supplicating. We're submitting to God, whoever you're, whatever it might be. To me, it's my Heavenly Father. And I'm saying on my knees, I can't do this without you. Or I love doing this with you, Heavenly Father. Thank you so much for being there for me. It can't always be, we run to God when things get tough. I learned this when I was in Russia riding motorcycles. So I raced in the Baja 1000 in 2007. And then my brother-in-law had some wild hair because I was racing desert, I was desert racing motorcycles for a few years. And my brother-in-law called me and said, hey dude, do you want to go on this trail bike tour in Russia? I was like, okay, yeah, yeah, okay, cool. So we bought our tickets, got everything set up, but we booked it through a group through Switzerland. At any rate, my sister's married to a Russian guy. And I told him, I said, hey Ivan, I'm going to Russia, he's from Moscow. I'm like, hey, I'm going to Russia, you got any insights? I just wanted to get some tips. And he's like, David, David, please, don't go there. I told him, I was like, dude, I already have tickets. I'm going to the Yuro Mountains. He's like, David, please do not go to this place. You will not return. And I was like, and so I'm laughing because I'm like, dude, Ivan. And so he writes a name and number down. He's like, if you were about to die, he's really straightforward. He's like, if you were about to be killed, call this number. And so I was like, okay, so at least I had a number in my, someone I knew in Russia. Went to Russia, everything was cool. And then we would go up in the mountains and then we would come down, they would feed us. And, but we find out we're the first Americans to ever go on this tour. We're the first tour in Russia. So all the pictures they showed us were all Switzerland. No one had ever even been on this tour. So we had this Chechen guy who's coming and going. It was a very sketchy ride. It was a trip. And we went to a, like a lake party place because we're there in the summer. And I mean, we were riding up on Stalin's roads and this, our guide's like, no American has ever been here. This is like, I'm like, whoa, that's crazy. Right. And, and so we go to this camp. Well, the Swiss are guide from Switzerland, makes friends with this massive six, seven, roided out gnarly buff Ivan Drago looking guy named Boris. And I get my 10, I go to sleep, call my wife. It's my birthday, August 4th, 2007. I'll never forget. And I call my wife and kids, you know, we're whatever we had cell reception right by this little lake was cool. And then all sudden a body falls on my tent. And I was like, what the hell? And it was the other guy I was rooming with from Switzerland, he's wasted gone blackout drunk. And Boris is at the opening of my tent, I open it and there's this massive rush and he's like, sleep. To the guy I was with. So I ground by his collar and I'm like, bro, that's, you got to sleep. Listen to this guy. Like we're not from here, bro. We're up in the middle of nowhere. And there's a six, seven buff dude, you know, and he's got the brand new G wagon and like nine groupie chicks with him. Like lights are like his own disco party. Like this is his town. And so I yelled to our guide in the other 10, I was like, bro, come help us. He's like, guys, we're not safe here. Please do whatever Boris says. And so I'm like, and then he says, hey, I've got a gun. I'm going to kill this guy. So he's telling him in Russia and I'm going to, I'm going to take this guy's life. Damn. If you don't get him to sleep, I'm going to make him sleep. So our guide then says, hey, he has a gun. He's going to go back to his truck and get his gun. He's going to come back and kill this guy if you don't make him sleep. So I grabbed that and I grabbed my book, my book of scriptures and I went up and ran up the mountain and slept in a cave. You did. You're like, I'm not doing it. I'm out of here. I don't care. Boris, you got to handle him, handle him, dude. That ain't me. I ain't drinking. I ain't part of this trade. No, I bounced. So I went up. Everything ended up being okay. But the point I'm trying to make is, is the prayer I had that night in that cave in Russia was like one of my most sincere prayers. Like I was like, how many father I'm in the middle of freaking nowhere. I don't speak Russian. I'm like, I got it. I need help. I just, hopefully everything works out, please. And it worked out, but I bring that up because I think so many times we don't reach out to God until we're on the edge of a cliff. True. It's so funny. How many atheist all of a sudden on the verge of death become believers? A lot of them, especially in prison too. Yeah. And so what if we could have them in our lives all the time and not just when times are tough? So I bring that up because that's been the roller coaster ride of my life. It seems like my spirituality always increases when my, my expectancy of something bad happening increases. Yeah, it is fascinating, right? How we kind of like have no other answers to be resort to God in moments like that. Yeah. I've been guilty of that too. Yeah. That's a couple of near-death experiences or weird stuff happen where I'm like calling out his name and I'm agnostic. That's crazy. But even in my dreams, like I'll have wick in nightmares. I'll call out Jesus. And it's helped. It's helped. Yeah. It's expelled whatever was in my dreams. He's powerful. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. What a story though, man. Wow. Russia. So it sounds like you're not going back there ever. Especially these days and all the war stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's been really good. Another, and then intuition, another quick story I have on intuition that's really important. I was, I'm running my roofing company in these 2016, 17. And at the time we were, I was, things were really, really tight, but I went and saved up some money to get a car, a car for my door knockers, right? My employees. Yeah. And I bought the car, paid cash for it. I think it was like 18 grand for just a car for them to drive around. And then they had to go do some oil change or something, bring it back to the office. I go home, I come back in the morning. I was like, okay, where's the car? And it's gone. So it's stolen. So one of our company vehicles got stolen. And I was just super bummed because at the time I was like, oh, Frank, do we just, we got to get things going and blah, blah, blah, blah. And so we call the police and whatnot. And the cops in Hawaii sometimes it just depends on where you're at and who you get. But it's just not one of the top priorities. I mean, you know, you get your car stolen and make, you do a police report. Okay. Yada, yada. So it's gone. Two months later, I'm out in a little town in Waipahu. And I drive by, we're looking at roofs. And I see a car and I'm like, bro, that's my car. No way. So when the car got stolen, the title was in the glove box. So all the paperwork is in the glove box, they were supposed to pull it into the shop. And I was like, no way. I was like, dude, leave me here. So I got dropped me off. And I call the girls, I call the girls office and say, hey, grab that spare key and come down or make sure it's our car. And they're like an hour away. And then I call the cops, the cops come and the guy's like, okay, so this is the stolen car. Like, yeah, this car's stolen. And blah, blah, blah. He's like, okay, we'll just wait here for the guy to return. And then like 10 minutes went by, dude, and I just had this like sick feeling inside. I'm like, what's going on? And I just kept getting this real strong impression to just take the car and not wait for the person. And like not press charges. It was weird. And I was like, no, dude, I want to bust this guy. Because I went on a freaking Cloak and Dower FBI mission for like seriously like a week. I went down the block, checked every camera. Like, and I could see the guy take the car. And I was like, bro, I got to get this guy. I'm going to bust him. I'm a soapist. It's like, I'm going to get this guy. And so here I had him. And now I'm like, do nothing. Just relax. So I told the cop, I said, hey, you know what? I don't want to press charges. Just go and he's like, are you sure? Are you okay? I was like, yeah, no, I'm good. He just go. He's like, all right, whatever. So he bounces. I get in the car, the title's gone, but the genius registered the car. So he forged the signature and registered the car. And you know, the police records are very wires. In Hawaii. Yeah, up the day, aren't crossing. So anyway, I saw the current registration and had his address. Oh, cuss. I see where this is going. So I get this strong voice like, dude, you need to go talk to this guy. And it was George, something third. I'll leave his last name out. But so I go out to Eva Beach and I'm like sweaty palms, parked down the street. I'm like, dude, I'm going to see this guy that's going to gank my car. So I go to knock on the door and knock on the door and this little kid answers, and they got this black metal screen and I could see someone behind him. And I said, hey, is George in? And she's just like looking at me, this little kid, like she's seen a ghost. Like who's this howly guy, white guy sitting on my, you know, a little local family, like looking at me like who is this dude? And I ask again and then again, and then she runs and talks to this other kid. And then this young like 16 year old kid comes to the door reluctantly. And he says, I'm George. And I said, Hey, George, can you come out and talk to me for a minute? Why? And then I just said, you know, I had this car situation. He's like, Oh, he's like the car. He's like, that's my dad. I'm George Jr. And that's George senior. And I was like, Oh, okay, cool. And I'm talking to him for a minute. And he had a backpack on and like his stuff. And he was all sketched out. And I guess he was just about to go on the run. Well, he actually was on the run. So I found out just sitting there talking to him, because I'm asking questions. I found out that he just broke out of his youth facility. And he was coming home to get clothes to run away. Whoa. And me and him just hit it off. I sat down with him on the grass right by the retaining wall. And we sat there for 30 minutes. And I told my whole life story. And here's this kid in tears, like not knowing what to do. He's been through it. And I just like, man, it's okay to go back and finish your program. I want you to know, you know, and we just hit it off. And so I'm sitting here thinking I'm going to bust the guy that stole my car. I'm wanting to know why my intuition's telling me not to press charges. And then I'm sitting over this kid who I was where he was at. And now I'm able to help him. And it was just incredible. And then right then all these cops show up, his caseworker. And he has his stuff with him. And he didn't even run. He walked straight to his caseworker right into the car and headed back to his program. Then the grandma shows up. And I told the grandma, I told her what was happening. And she loses it. She's like, I knew he didn't buy that car. That's my son. I knew she said, please, he's been in prison for 10 years. He just got out. Damn, at 16? No, the dad. Oh, the dad. So the dad that stole the car, the kid goes off. Then the grandma, I told her, I said, Hey, my car got stolen. Like, is there any way you guys can get me the title? Because the registration's a glove box, but I need the title. I want the title in my car. And so she just said, that's my grandson's father. I've been raising my grandchildren. And the dad just got out of prison. And she's just begging me not to press charges. I'm not here to press charges. Just tell them God loves him and makes some changes. But can you sign my title? She's like, no problem. So she runs in the house, brings it back to me, signed the title, gave it to me and off I was. But I mean, there's just no way in a million years that you get that. So we have those feelings of intuition that kind of break common sense sometimes. And so that's one thing I've really tried to exercise over the years is listening to the whisper, the inner spirit inside you and try to listen to that whisper and the wind. That's powerful. So yeah, sometimes when you react to your emotions, it gets destructive, right? Yeah. Yeah. When you let your emotions lead you. 100%. And when you get pissed off, three huge breath holds. That's like one thing I've been doing right now as I get upset. If I'm feeling myself getting upset, it's just huge breath holds. Like you're gonna be held under water. Just let yourself go lightheaded and exhale. Do that three times and you will not. I do that with Wim Hof. Similar. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's tough work. So that's it, man. That's my B7 becoming seven. I love it. I'm on a mission now because I've been doing roofing for all these years. I'm just about to exit. I'll be sitting in a couple years. And my next mission is life is to just travel around this country and this world and trying to shed light on how to be superhuman. What's cool about B7 is all of us have brain tracks from thousands of years, Sean. So that's how you memorize things. You memorize things by attaching a brain track to a principle or a name or anything you want to memorize. And so because all of us already have Monday through Sunday absolutely tattooed in our brains as brain tracks, the minute an individual truly lives B7 and attaches each one of these principles, their life will be so much better. It is the most powerful personal development tool that I have ever come across because how many places have used four steps to this, five steps to that? But do they tell you exactly when to apply those intentions and have those intentions? And do they come into sync with thousand-year-old brain tracks? No. So that's what's so remarkable about this. Is it really taps into all the personal development world, but then it's never ending. You're always getting better and you're on this incredible rhythm. Bob Mario is here. What would he call it? A rhythm. Legend. So yeah, that's B7. You're a great storyteller man. We'll link your book in the video. Anything else you want to close off with here?
