Vitamin Water Zero Sugar, nourish every you. Vitamin Water is a registered trademark of glass O. Today we welcome one of my dearest friends, Dolvet Quince.

If his name sounds familiar, it's because he is one of the trainers on the biggest loser for six years. Dolvet is one of the most balanced people I know. He's aligned in a physical, emotional, and spiritual way. In this episode, we discuss his approach to living his best life. We also talk about business, networking, and why he never wants to be the smartest person in the room. He also talks about meeting Barack Obama. It's a great story, and his relationship with his son.

And don't worry, I also asked him what really happens behind the scenes on the biggest loser. This episode is equal parts, inspiration, and fun. Enjoy this episode of Dolvet. Guess who we have on to the show today? In Habitson Hussle, we have No Other Than Dolvet Quince, who's of course one of my very close friends, but also known as the biggest loser trainer,

but much, much, much, much more. Thank you for coming, Dolvet. Thank you for having me. You know what? I just qualified for four mutsches. Much, much, much, much more. Thank you for coming, Dolvet. Thank you for having me. I just qualified for four much, much, much, much, much more. You deserve more. That was five, actually. Well, I figured with time being not on our side sometimes, I wanted to kind of keep it short.

I think with much times of thousands, actually. Thank you. You're welcome. And actually, this is interesting, because I was selling Dolvet, and this is the truth. Dolvet's obviously known as the biggest loser trainer, but you are so much more than that. I actually think that's not even what you excel at the most.

I always say you have this ability to touch people and really inspire and motivate people, like nobody else I've ever seen. I don't know what that's called. what is that like have you always what is that quality called if I would label what you described yes I just call it and I hate labeling a thing but it's just a gift I think everyone has gifts right everyone's blessed with whether you're an artist or pianist or speaker, I think some people just have innate gifts that were given to them that make them feel most comfortable, which in turn make other and resonates with other people. So if that's my gift, thank you.

So that is your gift. My next question was, what is your superpower in a way? And that really is your superpower because why you were good on the biggest loser is not because you told someone to do 20 squats or six push-ups. It's because whatever that thing was, it resonated so deeply with people on the show and of course off the show. And me seeing first hand when we're together

doing something and where I'm upset about something, you're able to like get right in there so well and kind of make, kind of tell, show people or explain something to someone in a perspective that they may have not thought of that kind of gives them hope and light in an area. Well, I'm always looking for personal clarity, right? Because I think we all go through this world with clouds in our head or numb or some form film, if you will. And oftentimes when you have that over your mind, over your eyes and a lot of ways,

you don't know how to get rid of it. Because that's the lens you look through. So I'm not exempt of that. So I always look for ways from my own personal clarity. And I think people who have the most clarity are the most self-aware. I think people that have the most clarity are the most aligned.

They are both powerful and forgiving, right? I mean that they're aware of their strengths, but they're also forgiving of their weaknesses. I think if you can be that person, and work on being that person consistently, a little bit daily at a time, or a lot, depending on what you can take in and push out, you're gonna find that you're the best version

of yourself all the time. So how is it like being from a show like that, you're on for how many seasons, like 10? Yeah, well, I was actually on for seven seasons. Seven seasons, okay, so seven seasons. And then, you know, I'm gonna ask you about the biggest loser because I know people are gonna want to know about that. But really, what I wanted to really get into more is leaving the show

or not being, the show's no longer on. And then like moving on and progressing in your career. Like how has it been? Is it hard to kind of be seen in a different space with this? Because, you know, people get pigeonholed, right? They see you as a personal trainer on the show and fitness, fitness, fitness. How do you break away from that

into like a different area where you're clearly so good in other areas? I think no one is going to know anything about you unless you show them, right? And so I have to continue just to show other facets of my intellect, persona, being, whatever it is, just show. And I think the more I show, people will have those moments of,

oh, I didn't know you did this as well. I like to think I showed that on one of the biggest platforms being in BC, that people could actually see that it was more than muscle, it was also heart, it was also connection, and caring. Like I genuinely care about people I'm working with or working for or whatever the category you wanna put it in. I lead with love. That's what you think heart, that's what it is. That's what you lead with heart and care and you can tell that you actually genuinely care.

And I think that makes a big, big difference. So then what are you doing now? Like what's your next thing? This show has been off the air for what? A year and a half, two years already. What have you been working on? What's your path now? Well, my intention is to continue the work. So it's really not so much about the platform of television itself, which is great. But I say that, but I started a production company with hopefully to create more content for other shows as well as my own, but I say that, but I started a production company with hopefully to create more content for other shows as well as my own, because I know what I can do on that platform.

I think I can touch more, reach more, and it sort of happens in warp speed, if you will. So my end goal is to get back on television, but leading up to that, I'm doing the work. And to me, platforms like this is doing the work. It's just- Me and my six people watching us find out. You would all six, well after this it'll be 16. Well, maybe 16, maybe maybe 17, but lucky. Yeah, the work is the work.

You know what I mean? Whatever the platform is, I think we all have the ability to get our voice out there, get our perspectives out there and you can do it grass root organically, or you can do it massively. The point is, you should just do it. So, like, let's go, okay, this shows obviously called habits and hustle, right? So I want to hear about your hustle, because and your habits, because you're that is you

in a nutshell, which is why we connect. We're both, we both are work ethic, we hustle, we hustle hard, and it's based on like having specific routines, like what is your daily routine? Like what do you do day to day? Besides workout with me once in a while. Besides workout with you. I get up in the morning, I start my mind,

I work out my mind, meaning that I literally lay down in bed, I open my eyes, I look at my ceiling, and I just start clearing my head. I think oftentimes what I used to do Probably about four years ago. I'd lay down in bed and I go grab my phone and I go Go see it. I just look at my girlfriend Instagram or my girlfriend snapchat You know what I mean? I Girlfriend my ex my ex girlfriend email. I name them women. You know what I mean? I, girlfriend, my ex, my ex girlfriend email, I name them women, you know what I mean?

Cause you're always looking to see what intrigues you. So, when I was looking at those things, I broke that habit. I made a self, I promised to myself and God, you know what, I'm gonna stop leaning on this robot and I'm gonna focus on myself and my being and start my morning clear. So now I get up, I mean, I wake up, put my eyes to the ceiling and I clear my mind.

Once my mind is clear, that means no thought. That just means just be while I'm awake. Not meditation? It's meditation. It's a form of meditation. Absolutely. And then from there, I get up. How long do you do that for? Not long. Eight minutes, ten minutes. You know, just kind I get up. But how long do you do that for? Not long. Eight minutes, 10 minutes. I just kind of get ready. Without pounding into my mind, I want control. I don't want whatever else is going around me to control.

And I feel with a clearer mind, I can get a lot more done. Does that make sense? 100%. So after that, get up. Get on my knees, say my prayers. So I'm going to shower, a clearer mind, I can get a lot more done. Does that make sense? 100%. So after that, get up, get on my knees, say my prayers, jump in the shower, push my teeth, get ready, throw in my gym clothes, go to the gym. Nine times out of 10, everything I do overlaps.

So you know this from us being friends and former part and business partners. If I'm going to the gym, there's a great chance I'm going with a friend that I'm probably doing business with Absolutely my DNA It's also multitasking and it's fine. It's right. Why wouldn't you do that? 1000% so if I can have a dialogue with someone who Can give me some level of growth in my year in my life while we're lifting Why not right and it's also a strength point for you, right?

Because people see you like that. If you're doing business with somebody else and they're bringing what they're bringing to the table, you're bringing what you're bringing to the table. Everybody's happy. Everybody's happy. And it's a great way to kind of connect to somebody without having a meal all the time,

going for dinner, going for breakfast. Right. And that's how I feel, how you really kind of build true, real interpersonal relationship with somebody. When you're doing something, you're experiencing something. 1000% that to me, that's my boardroom. Yeah, absolutely me too.

I get to be as well. So I get into more than I go, I have a meeting in my boardroom, maybe two meetings. And then I get home and I shower change. I'm on the phone with my manager. I put a call into my agent. You're brilliant at that though. I'm just working. Sorry about what regard, what do you mean? You're brilliant at that because I mean like I've known you for a few, having years now, I've known you for a few, three, four, four years. A long time. And it's true because I know you're working on a deal based on like what you're doing at the gym, right true because I know you're working on a deal

based on like what you're doing at the gym right because I you know we work out together or I would work at the same place and so I see you like how it kind of like revolves a bit like you're with one person for a while and then like eventually after a bit of time let that kind of just you know kind of just like just dissipate to it and then you're with someone else a lot for a while. And it becomes like, I see, and I'm like, based on your routine at the gym. I know what you're working on professionally.

Based on my routine or my association. No, associations, not the routine, you're right. Not the physical, not what you're actually doing, gym-wise, like physically, but like who you're spending your time with at the gym. Interesting. You know, because we have a friend now. Who's in the board meeting with me?

Yeah, right. Because like there for a while there, you were working out with one guy who I've become now very friendly with. You were with him day in, day out, day in, day out. Still in. And you're still with them. It's been a while now. Like that's been, and then you could have peppered in a couple of others.

And then like I figure out like as watching you, like, all right, he's working. Or they pepper me in. Or they pepper. I I get a call and say hey I really want to work out here so I make time and I steal from amazed Wednesday I'll put Chris in there with me that's right Chris wants to talk shop and also get ready for a show are you working with Chris I mean I don't work with anyone I work out with my friend yes so I don't I don't necessarily work with anyone. And they won't tell you that. They'll say, oh, that works me out all the time.

And I don't. We work out together. Yeah, you do. Meanwhile, we're in a board meeting. Right. Exactly. Yeah, no, exactly. That's saying, like, have May is a great example.

Because obviously you guys are friends. But like, there's like, there's a, it crosses over a lot. Like, personal and professional crossover a lot. And your friends, but you also work out together. You guys are working on work business together. So I always think that's a really good thing to mention. And it's a good life hack in general. Is that you know, you try to like multitask and, you know, kind of make sure everything

you're doing is productive in the day because we only have certain amount of hours. So why not compound two things, you know, you and I are going to work out all the time. We might also make that productive on the other end as well. I think it's also you should say though that you have to make sure that one thing doesn't suffer. Often times when you are in a meeting and the meeting becomes more important than the workout, then your workout will suffer. Absolutely.

I'm not good at that. You have to really work on making sure that you dedicate time and you focus with the present, meaning that you are a queen of multitasking, right? You do a lot of different things at one time, but something will suffer because you're doing a lot of things at one time. Absolutely. I try to, if I'm doing two things at one time, have my board meeting and working out. Okay, shut up with the words.

Let's focus on the movement. Okay, enough of that movement. Let's get back to the words. And I categorize those things as opposed to... Hello, you don't flow. It's not more like, hey, we're doing a bicep curl. Anyway, whatever I say, how much money I want to make. But, but, but, but, no, because something's going to suffer.

You can part you so you go back and forth. Yeah. I give everything its proper attention. Right? Yeah. I mean, I've been, I'm not saying I haven't done a leg press and made a point while I'm doing the leg press. Yeah. I'm not saying that, but I'm saying when it's time to chat in the board meeting and bring up a point or learn something, nine times out of ten, I'm attentive to that. That's a valid point.

Good, got it, it's retained. Let's get back to the movement. Because I will give 30% of the movement, because my mind, and I've seen you do this a lot, is racing about the point. Yeah absolutely. And so it's something that I advise you guys not to do if you're going to do the multi-testing that we do. You're good at that though. I'm not. I mean I think you're right. Like I think that like something will all I think you'll be multi-tested too much and like try to do too many things. Sure. Then of course you're going, things are gonna suffer. And that's why I try now to be honest.

I actually more observe you doing what you do and work out on my own because I know I get distracted easily. Like when you and I would work out together all the time. What would happen? You would talk and I would get mad at you. Exactly, because that's not what I'm talking about. You would want to talk more than move like, yeah, that's enough, but what about why we're really here?

Absolutely. If that's the yeah, that's enough. But what about why we're really here? Absolutely. If that's the case, let's work out. And then an hour later, go have the proper meeting. But unfortunately, within the proper meeting, be it a lunch, we're going to get a salad at, if I can say their name. Sweet greens. Sweet greens or something.

Tender greens. Whatever it is, it, here comes the crossover now. The crossover is personal life on top of work. So it's never a true, you know what I mean? I know. So I think you're at your best truthfully when you're by yourself. At the gym, you mean?

At the gym. Yeah, me too. Doing your thing. And I can tell the difference between focused you and unfocused you. Absolutely. If you love the Habits and Hustle podcast and are looking to add more podcasts to your

USAAA get a quote today. Because this podcast is about you and not me, you can interview me afterwards. I'd be happy to. I've got some material for you guys.

Oh, does he ever. So now I'm like, you've kind of... Flustered. Flustered me. Now, what are some other... So you basically... You said you pray every day. I do. So are you a religious man? Yeah. Yeah. Religious spiritual.

I think... Could you do pray before you eat? I pray before I eat every meal. Because I'm grateful for the food that's in front of me. I pray for my loved ones. I pray for myself and my growth. I pray for that relationship. You know what I mean?

I mean, I, listen, if I was born in India, I'd probably be a Hindu version of Dalvett, you know what I mean? If I was born in, you know, I would probably be a monk or be, but I would still be mean, but because of my region and or bring upbringing, I'd be a different version, right? That makes sense. Absolutely. I'm Christian. That's where I was raised.

That's my background. But the point is, I don't necessarily believe that one religion trumps the other and or better than the other. I do believe there's one God, one being, one hierarchy, if you will, and every religion agrees with that. I agree with that. To some degree. Right?

So I judge a man, not as God, I judge a behavior of someone, not necessarily their belief system. To each his own. But I need that relationship. A relationship is very important for me to do. It's part of my DNA. You know, oftentimes people take care of their body. They work out. Some people very intelligently take care of their business. They're very successful. Not

oftentimes when people deal with their spiritual health. And to me in terms of being well-rounded, I need that peace. Absolutely. Well, I think there's also people are becoming more cognizant of how important that is, right? It's not about just to be well or wellness, what is wellness, right? People say, it's not just what you eat, it's not exercise and just diet. There's a lot of other components that come into play. It's also what you eat has a lot to do with what you absorb, right? Right. Well, yeah.

Like what you absorb and what you absorb and what you absorb. All those things are embodiment of who you become and what you absorb and what you absorb. All those things are embodiment of who you become and who you are. That's right. So what else do you think involves? So you think it's a spiky so to expand on that, you think what else is wellness to you then? Spiritually being connected.

Yeah, I mean, I speak on this and I, you know, writing my second book, I speak on the five components of health, right? And oftentimes, to your point, when we started this, when people see me, they think, oh, wow, you're a trainer. You must be in good shape. So people automatically associate health with physical. Oh, you got great abs, great arms.

You're very strong. I know someone who was very strong, but unfortunately committed suicide. So exterior wise, they were strong, but internally they were weak and broken down and frail. The five components of health are physical, health, mental, spiritual, emotional, and social. Those five components, if you spend a little bit of time on each one of those components every single day You will find you'll be exactly what I described as aligned and have certain clarity the film is gone The the cloudiness is gone. You're much more clear. You're a better version because I Look at it how you look at a star right those five

points are five pieces on a star. Mine for example may be physical and emotional my stars are always pointing to my best North right the best version of me that means those other stars are at the bottom right there they may be suffering points you? Points meaning that, if those five points I mentioned are representative in your mind as a star, right? And you see those five points. If my two points that I'm constantly working on be it my physical and my, let's say mental, then the other points will suffer. I have to turn that star so that those that are on the bottom,

in my day, in just a day, become what I focus on and become what's on the top, right? Point being people spend so much time through creatures of habit, focusing on the same thing over and over, daily, and that's all they are. As opposed to looking at, where are my weaker points? Where are the points on me that I really don't spend a lot of time on? I'm going to spend an hour on it today, two hours, whatever

it might be. And you start to notice that the more repetitions you do, the stronger you get. See, this is the stuff I love about you. That's a great, and now the way you describe that was amazing. And I love the way you just broke it down into those five physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, spiritual, mental, and social, absolutely. And the thing is that people keep on saying, well, it's now about having, it's not just nutrition and exercise, but it's also about hydration and this.

But they're missing like very fundamental core things, like the overall, those are just tactical things that you can do to kind of be overall well. But the way you just broke it down, again, was really, really good. And to your point about being a creature of habit, I think I'm a creature of habit a lot of people I know are, where people just human nature tend to do what they're really good at.

And then they forgo all the stuff that they're really bad at. But how do you get somebody, me included, to focus on those things because it's very easy just to be like, and I'm not today, I'll do it tomorrow, right? When you're not good at it, like exercise is the same thing, right? You do the same exercises over and over again, right?

How do you open your mind and say, okay, I'm really good with the emotional, like I'm really good at emotional stuff and really good at physical. How do I open your mind and say, okay, I'm really good with the emotional like I'm really good emotional stuff I'm really good to physical. How do I get better at spiritual? How do I get better at mental? Is there like a way to do it? I think there is a way and one of the ways you can do I think Association is elevation who I associate with will take my mind into a better space if I'm associated with the same Group of people that are in the same thought pattern of me then If I'm associated with the same group of people, they're in the same thought pattern of me, then I'll continue to do the same thing. You know, you are a reflection of

the five people that you spend the most time with. I just wrote a whole column on that, absolutely. And if that's the same people doing the same thing and having the same conversation, if those people are thought-provoking, ambitious, well-rounded people, keep those people in your life. Right, absolutely. Right? If you're the only one like that in your group of five, you better find another four. You know what I mean? Exactly.

You know what I mean? Absolutely. And so, association is one to to work on the weakness. Another way is to be aware and to be self aware of it, right? You know, you and I, for example, we live in a life of coaching individuals and taking them to the next level. How much do we coach ourselves? How much do we tell? We tell other people all the time, focus on your weaknesses, come on, you can do it, be stronger, but what's our level of authenticity when we say that? Absolutely. Right? If you and I pay attention to our weaknesses

and we make it a daily thing to work on, those weaknesses become smaller and smaller and smaller, as opposed to I'm just going to give my best self. Right? No trail. You just have to spend time on the things that you're aware of. I don't care who I talk to in this world, be it someone who's either obese or never worked out in their life or someone who's done 12 fitness shows. Both of those extreme examples, they know the difference between right and wrong.

They know what to eat and what not. They just do and they'll tell you, oh, seriously, is fried chicken that bad for me? And they know in the back of my eye, I know it's bad for me. I just want you to say it. That was a fool. I just want you to say it. I just want you to say it. I just want you to say it. I just want you to say it. That was a fool. I just want you to say it. I'm not going to forgive. Right?

But you know the difference. And we all know the difference is my point. Like if you know the difference, then work on what you know. I don't have to tell you right and wrong. You know. I know. But to get people, I think motivation is very short-lived.

I think people can be motivated for a certain finite period of time, and then it wanes like everything else. So just going on those five pillars that you just said, I'd be like, OK, you know what? I'm really bad at the spiritual. I'm going to really try tomorrow. And then you try. And then eventually it wanes, right?

So that's why I think it's really important to build in your schedule like time, like rich where you actually are like committed for a certain period of time. And then you, so small periods of time. So like tomorrow, I'll do it for five minutes in the next minutes. Like it's built into your schedule, like brushing your teeth or taking a shower, where it's less, I don't know, where people will be less likely to stop doing it, right? Because I feel like what people want to know here is takeaways, like how could they get better at that stuff?

The most prepared individuals are people that write things down or... Right, journaling. They journal or they plan, right? If you plan some, for example, you want to be in the best shape of your life, you have to plan your your your your diet. Right. Not just like throw shot the law. You have to throw in hope that it works. I have to be very precise. If you want to run a successful business, you have to see the PNL. You have to know what's going on behind the

you know, you have to know what's going on behind the customer service. You know, they mean that there's a lot of backdoor things that you have to be aware of. That said, the same thing applies in the self-development space of you as a being, right? You have, you can't just hope that you have a spiritual connection, but if you say you're going to try, you didn't have to surround yourself with people that are already doing it. You have to start and begin to read on what it means to you. Involve yourself in the idea that you want to work on that pillar. Right.

Or like, yeah, basically, like put yourself in situations where you're going to win, not fail, by surrounding yourself with people. One thousand percent. Right. I knew nothing about the tech world. Nothing. Through a friend inviting me to a multi-athlete visit for businesses that all these athletes could actually invest in.

Do I know these friends? Do you know Ryan Nees? You mentioned him a million times. As a company called Next Play. Yes, you told me. Former football player, his dad is Ronnie Lot. Right. A famous defensive lineman, Ronnie Lot.

Ryan said to me, and maybe 20 or 30 other guys, why don't you guys come to me? I have a day that I set aside for him to go to several different businesses, hyperloop, Snapchat, Riot Games, we're all in a bus and we went on a tour if you will all these locations. Not only can we be educated about the business, but potentially invest in it. We take our money, we invest in his company, and then he, because he has a relationship distributes accordingly, and you can watch it grow, right?

On that day, I met Hamei Wat at his firm. That's how I met Hamei. And I was so impressed by him because, just the way he spoke, he knew what he was speaking on. He's been in the business for years, multiple degrees, super intelligent guy. But he said, I believe wellness is where is the next big thing, right? I think that's gonna be the thing that everyone's gonna have their eye on, have their end day.

Mark my words and my eyes just went, prove my energy, went straight to him like, are you serious? You're speaking my language. Right. Literally send him an email. We're working out together in the gym and we haven't stopped since. That was four years ago, three years ago. Now, the point is this. I know more about the tech world and his world, something I knew nothing about.

And the only reason I know it's because I committed to it. I dove into it. I wanted to learn. You immersed yourself in an area by surrounding yourself with somebody who was better than you and knew and had more information and knowledge than you that you can learn from. Yeah, not necessarily better than me. I made it what he did. I wanted to know. I'm a worthy man. No, no, no, no, it's fine. I you that you can learn. Yeah, not necessarily better than me. I made it what he did. I wanted to know.

I'm a work team. No, no, no, no, it's fine. I understand what you're saying. But I wanted to know what he knew. And I didn't know. So I wanted to say, OK, Dolphet, this is your weakness right now. I used to do upper body all the time. I started doing legs, something I hated doing,

that my legs became stronger, and it helped my upper body. It makes sense. So that was my lower body weakness knowing his world and the investment world and what does that mean? So he and I, through association became friends and I feel good about that. You know, I think the same thing has to apply when you be at spiritual weakness, be it emotional weakness, be it social weakness, whatever your category of health that you need to sharpen, then you have to apply yourself into that space. When you actually stay social, your pillars, what do you mean by emotional and social?

The emotional health part is key. I think there's a lot of, again, it goes overlapped into mental health, there's a lot of mental weakness out there. I think emotionally people can be irrational. I think emotionally people can be one-sided. I think when you're emotionally healthy, that means you tend to not use as much judgment, even though I think we all have prejudice and judgments to a degree,

but I think you tend to be more open-minded and willingness to listen to someone's story versus holding on to your own hangups. And you know what I mean? Even before they talk, like, no, you're wrong. I haven't even said my know but you're wrong because you're not speaking from what I know. I think an emotionally healthy individual tends to have more clarity in their ears.

Not necessarily their eyes. That's first and foremost. The other thing, the social piece, social health, will you associate with the terms of some far you get in life? Absolutely. You know what I mean? Just finishing that, yeah. That to me is key.

Like all those touch points that I said between the examples of a May and meeting Ryan Nees. And you know, That won't me, met me. Meeting you. I purposely, you know, if I'm the smartest guy in the room, I'm gonna leave the room.

Period. Absolutely, I mean. Or that's smart as well. Was it a big one? No, I said no. I'll offend in the room if I'm the big one. Whatever that's Mars. I was a big In the room. I found the big whatever You want to you don't want to be the weakest link in it and I say that all the time too You and I have very simple we have a very similar mindset in these ways And that's why we probably we get along so well, but it's true

I don't want to be the smartest person in the room. I don't want to be the we I want to be the weakest link Not the strongest link. I want to be don't want to be the way you do want to be the one So that's right man, and I do not I I want to be not do I want to be the weakest link, not the strongest link. I want to be the weakest link. You do want to be the weakest link. So that's right, man. I do not, I want to be, not do. I want to be the weakest link. I want to surround myself all the time with people who are smarter than me,

more successful than me. So I feel like that's energy that it elevates you, right? It gives you, it makes me feel like I can, I don't want to play down,, I wanna play up, you know? And that's, you know, you're saying, of course, as you always do, much more eloquently than I do. But it's the same messaging, you know? Like, so when you say, you don't wanna be

the smartest person in the room, neither do I. And I think a good thing is, a good takeaway is, people should always try to elevate up, level up. That's like a big tagline right now, level up. But level up with the person that's willing to have something to offer. Right, people who are. Meaning that I think people abuse the word level up.

They do, that's why I didn't like to use it. But meaning, I don't know, no, no. I think it needs to be said that just because you want to be better, make sure you have something to offer and the betterment of that circle. Exactly. Just don't be a taker. Absolutely.

You know, I'm around all y'all can make me better and I can be better. What are you offering us? How about you? It has to be an exchange of energy and exchange of offering versus just taking. So I think that has to be said, that means to me, then if I don't know anything about the tech world and I don't know anything about the VC world, the next time I talk to him, I better have something provocative to ask because I've done some sort of research about it. Why may have some questions that, you know, and we're maybe able to provide something now

because now I'm offering within the level up conversation. Oh, absolutely. I agree with that. Vitamin water just dropped a new zero sugar flavor called with love.

So, I would I meant, and what I mean is, to your point, you are the five, I think the other thing was, you are the five people you surround yourself with, right? You become that. So, in order to always grow and elevate yourself, It's important to have the people around you that you respect and admire so vice versa, right? So it's when I'm saying leveling up I'm saying being around people who are smarter and who have they have things to their more success or whatever there is that I want to I want to kind of learn from or or kind of or gain knowledge from. Yes, of course, it has to be a back and forth. I think a good takeaway or a good thing to be cognizant of is to surround yourself with the people that you really respect and look up to.

That's what it is. It's association is elevation. Yes, which is again how he has his lingo is down pat association elevation I don't have that maybe you can teach me afterwards You know it's interesting because based on I think Your experience is I mean just but based on who you are and like how what you provide I think that like life has kind of I mean, just based on who you are and like how what you provide, I think that like life has kind of So many things that happened to you that I think are just like extraordinary You know like every time I talk to you. It's like I did this Can you can you share that story about Obama? I think it was so amazing Remember I called you afterwards like I can't believe it

It's such an amazing story and like I'm not surprised because it who you are. You always seem to put yourself in these situations where things extra extraordinary happen to you because of who you are. So I'm going to give you the platform. I was in a very unique situation where I was asked to be a keynote motivational speaker for CRT. CRT is the cardiovascular research technology group. Imagine a bunch of doctors, medical doctors, surgeons, nurses, doing their annual meet and greet in a hotel. I'm saying probably 7,000 of them

just taken over this hotel in DC. And I was asked to do it probably six months prior. I said yes, it was on March 4th. I said, okay, I'll come in on how much of it? What did you say? Exactly. I was just asking, yes, right? And I did it and it was great. And after the speech, they asked me to sit on the panel,

and the panel was behind me the entire speech. And they asked me to sit on the panel, and the panel was behind me the entire speech, and they asked me to sit on the panel and answer questions from the audience. Now, I was way out swinging my coverage in terms of just the panel itself where this guy was a surgeon for 30 years, and it was great just to be around them. So when they answer their questions, and I was asked a question, one of the questions that were asked of me, I actually has, have made it my life mission to do and pursue. I won't get into that, but I will say this. There's a gentleman who leads the questionnaire and the thing and he said to me,

Dalvet, are you staying to meet President Barack Obama tomorrow? And he said to me, I'm interviewing at a fireside chat former President Barack Obama. What are some of the questions you I should ask him? I was like, oh, I didn't know that. Ask Ask him what's next, and also ask him what's his talent. I always like to know what's people's talent. He said, those are pretty good. He said, you're gonna stay, right? This is after we were done, I was saying,

no, actually, you had no intention to stay. I'm already packed, and I'm actually gonna leave here in a couple hours, so, okay, whatever. His assistant overheard me and said, Dalvet, why don't you stay? We would love for you to stay I'm freaking out. I'm like wait a second. I get to stay after doing this speech I get to meet President Barack Obama

but I'm and so I get on the phone and I call my son and I'm like Isaiah listen up for nothing. I got a chance to Oh, dear tomorrow's your birthday And they just clicked on me that it was his birthday. And I was like, I can't go. I just, I mean, probably it's your 21st birthday. I'm not going. He said, pop, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You have to go.

Say that. No, I can't go. So I hung up the phone with him. I said to the assistant, and I'll say, him. I said to the assistant. I'll say, look, thank you for the invitation. It sounds amazing, but it's my son's 21st birthday tomorrow. And I know you guys are, I just can't do that. She said, why don't we fly him out? We'll fly him out. First class, put him on a plane, put you, matter of fact, this is Claude, who's the GM, big fan, whatever, that a, that a, so what kind of stupid name is Claude, who is the GM, big fan, whatever, da da da da da.

So, what kind of stupid name is Claude? He said, what kind of stupid name is Dalvat? And we just immediately just started chirping. And he said, you know what, put him in the go suite, the go suite in the presidential suite. Isaiah flew in, they put us up with the suite, the care for us all day, that night, there was 30 VIP. They walked us to the front of the line, Isaiah and I.

People were looking like, who are these two guys? Walked in on his birthday, met the president of the United States, former president Barack Obama. I said to him, you know, it's funny about me being here. The last time I was here, I trained your wife on the show, the biggest loser, he's like, I thought I recognized you. And we hugged it out and I said,

that's not important. What's really important is, this is my son. Today's his 21st birthday and he's here with you. So that to me was a cool moment. I love that. I say it was all she's all like he was great. But I think the gift that I gave him, we came home was even better than that. As they was all cheese, all like he was great. But I think the gift that I gave him, we came home was even better than that. The gift that you gave him when you came home?

I didn't know that any of that was going to happen. I didn't know that. So did you get them? They'd ask me to stay in the park. So what I did was as a gift to him for his birthday, I reached out to 20 men in my life. That was the other 20 guys that I've, some of I've talked about today and others I haven't, who inspired me and I hopefully have inspired

and I asked them, if you were 21 years old, what advice would you want to hear? Please give that advice to Isaiah. So they put together a minute and a half, two minute video as a gift to him. And I was a 21st voice. I comprised it, edited and gave it to him two nights later after me to Barack Obama. I love this. I gave him that as a gift and his entire face was wet. Like he was in tears. He was, you know, and the tangible stuff, you know, something tangible. He could do all that stuff.

But the type of stuff that I hope one day he gives to his son or he now refers back to as he's still trying to figure out at 21 going on 22. Who am I? What am I going to do? He can refer to some of those that counsel. I love that. Those are two, I love that whole story from like the off course, the Obama part and how you ended it with the twent, how he got the other thing. I think it's amazing, that's why I wanted you to share it. What would you say, okay, first of all, what would you say is your big breakthrough moment

in your life that made you kind of do what you do? And it doesn't have to be, so I'm not talking about biggest loser because I don't think that, I think that made you more recognizable and known, but I don't think that, I think that made you more recognizable and known, but I don't think that was your breakthrough moment personally for who you are. Maybe it was. I think one of my breakthrough moments was probably when I was adopted.

My adopted parents who were in their way, in their way, extremely harsh, physically, mentally, I think when I was very, very, very afraid of my father, because what he said went in his house and their rules were extreme and they were very like hands on in that kind of a way. When I just approached him and said, I'm going to do this. Like the confidence and the fear that I took to get over to do that and to say that to him. And then on top of that, here's a man I revealed, like I was afraid of, give him a hug. I think that was changing for me. In that moment, I knew that there was nothing I couldn't do because I faced at that time what was one of the scariest things.

And I actually refer to that in my head when I'm about to do something scary because I'm a bit of a daredevil in a wrist take or I gravitate to somebody that on purpose. I think back if you can approach this dude, you can do anything. Really? Do you always think about that before you do anything?

And before you? Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I do. Because nothing's ever as scary as that. And if I can, if I can survive, if I can it as a thing. Right. Nothing's ever as scary as that. And if I can, if I can survive, joke, if I can survive, Theresa, I can do, I can survive anything. There's no weapon formed against me. Wow. And then what would you tell, so what was your advice that you gave your 21-year-old boy,

Isaiah? Be a man of integrity. They would mean what he says. Be fearless, be kind, and a whole bunch of this stuff. But not, but those are good, though. Yeah, it's more, yeah. So is there anything particular that you are working on right now that you can share with everybody besides, well, actually, underarm or stuff?

Yeah, underarm is great. It's a great relationship. I'm excited to do what we're about to do. Things are coming up. Listen, those guys have really figured out how to put themselves in front again, and they will continue to do so. I think this year, people are going to be surprised at the quality and the level of where we're going as a company under armor. Again, start on my own production company. So I'm writing and doing shows.

Is this the one that you were telling me about? Yep. And could you talk about that or not? Yeah, I mean, we could talk about a two degree. Like, I'm literally in the middle of negotiating a deal with another major network. Could be the same one, could be another one. I'm in the middle of right now negotiating what that is going to be, and all the particulars on that. I have a deal with a pharma company that's going to help some people around the nation.

That I'm very excited to get started working on actually get started working on that at the end of this month or that will come out as it comes out. Well, that's it. That's it. Yeah, I think so. Okay, so now I'm just like, okay, so here's some like just fun little stuff, okay? Yeah.

We've got to go to the biggest loser because we have to. Because we have to. Because it's only right. It's only we have to. I mean, here's only right is only we have to I mean here you are I mean it's like an ample opportunity I can't like I can't let it go without asking you is there any kind of I don't know good juicy bat like kind of behind the scene stuff that you can share with us that happens like how is it really how like what happens on like a show like that? Like a weight loss show like people. Were you wearing a button your ear?

Give me some like bat. Like give me some like behind the scenes stuff where people can be like, oh, I didn't know that happens. Never had never had anything in my ears. So everything that you saw was me. Everything you saw, I think with all of the coaches where their original voice was their own self. But I will say a lot of people don't know,

but biggest loser has a higher percentage of people hooking up than the bachelor. No. In fact, it's a fact. Really? That is a thought. I mean, do the research. You've never told me that, really?

That's a fact. Yeah. I mean, you gotta think about it, though. Well, you're sequestered for how long have they sequestered? Six months, sometimes at a time. Well, four months, and then go home for a month, and then you know what I mean?

But that's a long period of time with no television, no cell phone. No television, either, I guess that's true. No compute, you know what I mean? And if they do, it's for a quick 10 minutes per person, and that's it. So what are they supposed to do? If you're not allowed to be on the phone,

be on your computer, besides work out 40 hours, how much do they working out every day? Well, if you have 24 hours a day and nothing to do and you have this beautiful backdrop, how many times a day and you're competing for a quarter of a million dollars. Right, so how many hours? How many hours a day would you work out constantly?

But yeah, so they'll work out for two hours at a time, rest for a couple of hours, go back and work out for three hours or two hours at a time. You know, so of hours, go back and work out for three hours at a time. So they'll put the time in, because what else are you going to do? So how many hours a day would you say altogether? All together? Maybe nine? So how about injury?

Aren't people going to get injured from working out that many hours? First, you're going to get injured, because by the way, if you do that for nine hours straight, but the example I just gave you, nine times at a time, you won't get injured if you work out for two hours. You rest for a couple hours and you, and mind you, the workout isn't, we're not talking crossfit, intensity, we're saying hiking, we're saying cardio,

we're saying riding a bike, we're saying light weights. Well, I mean, it's not crazy. Some of them could be crazy. I mean, how many hours a day were you working out with them? Because I actually did more time off camera than I did on working on that show. And that really wasn't about, it was about being competitive with the other, versus the other trainers, but it had more so to do with building trust with the contestants, right?

Yeah, I thought. Yeah. Yeah, there's a question from their families. Right. They're more or less on an island. So any sort of anything familiar to make them feel like, okay, I'm not just here by myself and I tried to be that for them. So you would work out how many hours with them of the like eight or nine hours a day that these people are working out? How many of those hours are you working out with them? A couple hours on camera. How about three hours off. Wow, that's a lot.

And then do you have other trainers who work there with you? We did that some seasons. Oh, different seasons. Yeah, season to season to season. Yeah, season to season at varying. Because sometimes, you know, we had to push the, you had to do the off camera work for the brand. Right. For biggest loser and for NBC.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So I couldn't be there with the contestants, but then I had to go promote the show. I couldn't be in two places at one time. So do you, do you hire your own trainer or biggest loser? Yeah, you can pick them. You could hand pick them. And then biggest NBC has to approve them. Put them through a whole background.

So is it one trainer that you hire or two trainers? One. Just one. Yeah. Per season. Per season, right? Oh, and so is it the same guy that we know together? Is it Dario? Yeah, Dario did it for me a couple of seasons, yeah. OK, and then what else behind the scenes that besides,

we all know they work out 100 hours a day. It's crazy amounts of working out. I don't care what you say. It may not be, you know, hit training for nine hours, but it's still moving for a long time with a lot of these people who don't ever move at all. It's a big zero to 60. You put anyone in a competitive environment and they're going to give you more than you expect. Always. You think you saw that all the time? Always. You put anyone in a competitive environment, they're going to give you more with they then they then they then what you expect comma and put money at the end of it.

So how did you yeah, I was going to say the money aspect that's that first then you're making it for sure. I agree with that. By the way, if you lose 50 pounds, I'm going to give you two million dollars, all 20 of you people. How how many hours you think people are going to do believe me. I agree 100% but what did you do to motivate them besides that because there are there can't be they can't always be You know like go go go. I mean you have dips in it all the time you have dips in human nature So what did you do? What was your like secret sauce? To what to motivate them to continue to push past their bear their their barriers their boundaries to keep going, to be competitive all the time. One of the things that I do, and I always start with, especially when I was working on the show,

I do this today, and I did it mostly before the show as well, I believe in empowerment. I believe some trainers train in a way that their client will always need them. I train in a way that you don't need me. I want you to be me. Someone who wakes up every morning says their prayers, eat their vitamins, take care of themselves, and they work out themselves. They take care of themselves, right? They're always looking to be better. One of the things that I do is I look for moments.

If I'm training five people and I see a moment from one of them, meaning that, oh, they're in the pocket, right? They're in that zone. They're in that, oh, and I will stop them and say, you know what, John, stop what you're doing. Do me a favor. Go show Susan how to do that. John, stop what you're doing. Do me a favor. Go show Susan how to do that. And the minute I empower John, he's like, you want me to go show? Yeah, go show her.

Susan is, well, you're my counterpart. I have something to prove, but John is empowered. John is like, I got this. It's no longer someone telling me, right, wrong, no, right. I'm the one, I'm the parent parent now. I'm not a child anymore Mm-hmm, and with that empowerment they take that on and they spill it into their life outside of the show I encourage them to find someone like they are

To do the exact same thing go home and be a coach of someone. Be it your wife, be it kids, be it coworkers, you're a leader now. Go lead. And when they lead and they lead with love, the weight doesn't come back on. That's how I do it. That's amazing. So lead with empowerment. That's how you did it. You empower them to feel that they can do it and you're that they are capable of doing it on their own. The belief is the biggest drug out there. I agree with you. I agree with you.

Okay, so give me a shot after. And what? The end of the most sought after. And then give me something else, not with that. We're going to get back to the more gossipy things here for a second. I want something like behind the scenes stuff. Okay, people are hooking up all the time. Give me one more piece that happens behind the scenes

of the biggest loser that baby, it's not publicized. The trainers are very competitive against one another. You know, you've ever been to a gym and you can see that you can feel the bitterness in the gym with the trainers. Yes. The same way on biggest. Nothing different. So how did you can see that you can feel the readiness and the gym with the trainers. Yes. Same way on because nothing different.

So how did you work in that environment? Isn't that kind of tough? It's very tough. Tough for a person like me because I actually always hated that environment. So when I opened up my private studios in Atlanta, I hired people to work cohesively, cohesively with one another, one, one another. And if they didn't, they were gone. So when that's my DNA, it's difficult

to walk into an environment where it's a high school type of thing. Right. That's a good tidbit. Because I think people, there are always rumors and people that would be something that's assumed, I think, that that would happen. But it's never concrete. Yeah.

It happened. And it happened too often. I felt, I looked at it more as a distraction than a benefit, because it was. Do you ever talk to Bob Harper, Jillian Michaels, or Jen Nifer, Weed or Stromb anymore? Do you ever see them out in events or fitness, wellness, not at all, right? All right, well that's good. I feel like I'm beating a dead horse now with that one. Why not though?

Right? It's been years. Okay, well listen, I mean, I think I kind of covered everything I can in the last, how long has it been? An hour? Oh, oh my God. What did you say? My my my man's over there. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. Hi. This is really kind of awkward. Why are you saying hello? But this could be because

you talk to them. I was going to be a very serious podcast curtain away. And you said something to them. It gave me an opportunity to say something. This is a serious podcast right now. I say. You know, and you're on your best behavior. Normally, he teases me. And, you know, this is like, I want this to win. I want you to win on this.

I'm not going to mess with you. Thank you. No, you can mess with me. I want you to be real and authentic. Normally, we have a, we kind of go at it like back and forth. And you've been on your best behavior. I've like kind of like thrown off a little bit because you're so pleasant and polite.

Like always, President, polite. Always pleasant and polite. You see here we go. No, yeah. I could not leave a table for how you bring this energy, right? No, I mean, you're always pleasant and polite. But sometimes with me, you tease me. It's like a back and forth type of situation. And you've been so lovely.

It kind of throws me off. I feel weird asking these questions and you're answering me so nicely and politely. And you're gonna actually give the perception that I'm very mean to you. Oh no, you're not mean, but can I tell everyone what my nickname is? Tell them.

Okay, so Dolvette calls me Laquonda, that's my. Because if I like you, you get a ratchet name, or a hush, you can say it's a ratchet name, you get a hood name, like it's like- That's my hood name. You know what I mean? Everybody gets a street name. That's my street name. If I like you, you eventually will get it, and that fails.

So I don't think you've ever called me Jennifer in like a long time. It's always like Laquonda. Or Jay Boogie or... I don't want to hear that. Jay Duh, or- It's more like Laquonda. Oh, can you Laquonda? All the time. Well, most of the time. Okay. Other people, Borg. It's more like Laquanda. Oh, can you Laquanda? All the time.

Most of the time. Okay. Other people, I'll tell you a little funny story. You obviously call me Laquanda enough where someone at the gym thought my name was Laquanda. Are you serious? Yes. That's what works at Equinox. No, that's not what I was.

Laquanda, and I'm like, who? And I'm like, it's in your name Laquanda. I'm like, no, it's Jennifer. That's not my name was Laquanda. Because you always call. Hey, Laqu your name Laquonda. I'm like no it's Jennifer. My name is Laquonda because you always call it. Hey Laquonda. Laquonda. Funny. Whenever I walked out of the gym by Laquonda, you don't remember all the time. That's funny. Yeah, so I mean, just to have you know. But all right, well I think this is good. I think

I mean, is there anything you want to like, you know, say that you haven't. We talked about your habits a little bit. We talked about your rituals. We talked about your breakthrough moment. We talked about back, you know, backstage what happens on the biggest loser. Do you still keep in touch with anybody from the biggest loser in terms of like the contestants? Yeah, all the time. Yeah. Two of them just got married. Oh, nice. Are you going to make the, they already got married. I couldn't make the contestants. Yeah, all the time. Yeah. Two of them just got married. Oh, nice. Are you going to make the, they already got married.

I couldn't make the wedding. So I FaceTime during the reception ceremony. So mom, dad and everybody was great. That's so nice. Do you know what I can't believe actually not to cut you off when I do anyway all the time? It's okay. You know what I just, we spent an hour talking and I did not even ask you about diets like the diet trend bad diets

What you believe about intermittent I didn't want to talk about that I didn't want to talk because I feel you're so much more But I feel like again and be remiss if you don't to ask you do you fall love? I'm just gonna ask this one question. Do you follow any particular? Diet or you just genetically blasting gifted go ahead? I diet or you just genetically blasting gift did go ahead. I use myself every year as a guinea pig or someone who kind of puts myself to a test. I remember last year as veganism. I was a vegan or vegetarian. I was a vegan for about a little over 30 days.

I thought five minutes. No, it was actually over 30 days and it wasn't fun. It wasn't fun. I did it. Some of the benefits where I slept better, I felt better in some regard. I just found myself being hungry all the time and not in that necessarily filled. So that was good. Do I a test to any specific diet per se? I think I I think a bit really I that tend to lean towards keto stylistically, although

I'll never say eat that style all the time, but I think habitually I tend to go there. There's an amazing book that I love called Eat Right for Your Blood Type, and my blood type is B positive. B something. Anyway, it leans more towards, maybe I should get with Dr. to get my blood to actually know what that is, but I'll talk to him after this. It says that my blood type, what's good for me, and I did a whole DNA test and everything, 89 strands, not 23 in me, but the 89 strand, a lot, and metaturainian, food is very good for me in terms of digestion and the way I process

it. So that Greek Persian, that sort of a food, you know what I mean, is really, really my body responds very well to that. So do you, so what do you think in terms of all the fats and trends though? Do you think it's kind of, how does someone take all this information and then know what's good for them? Because it's overload, right? There's a lot of them.

It's a good question. I think because we're all individuals, right? I always say we come from two different worlds, two different wounds. That said, I think you need to know what works best for you. You need to find out, you need to do your blood work. You need to get your test and find out how your body responds for you. You know, you need to find out. You need to do your blood work. You need to get your test

and find out how your body responds for you. Not generally speaking. Maybe you're a hybrid of two different styles. Who knows? You know what I mean? You just have to do what's best for you individually. I'm so alacartful. What do you think about intermittent fasting then? I feel like there's been so much research about that. Right. And I'm a fan. Right. I'm a fan of it. I'm a fan of it from two different perspectives. I think it works extremely well for men over 35 to 40 years old. Right? Why?

Because your metabolism slows down. I think it's a good way to spike your metabolism. Kind of wake it up if you will. But how? Because you're fasting for 16 hours and you're eating in an eight hour pocket, as opposed to waking up first thing in the morning eating, waiting a couple hours in eating, waiting a couple hours in eating.

I think that way, that I call it the body builder style of eating, if you will. That way is amazing when your metabolism is already fast. But because you're of age now, you're in your 40s to 50s, if you will, that intermittent fasting I found, the research that is done very well for men around that age.

Why do I specify men is because I feel that women respond differently to intermittent fasting as opposed to how men respond to it. How does women respond men? I find that women tend to respond better in reverse. Really? Meaning that if men are eating, let's say their first meal is at one

and their last meal is at eight, follow what I'm saying. Within that pocket, I feel that women should do the opposite of that. Meaning that they should start their morning off and then take start off eating and stay when then that pocket and then towards the night Don't eat as much like taper off taper off instead of waiting waiting waiting waiting and like we tend to do one o'clock to eight o'clock Or one o'clock to nine o'clock eating that pocket. I feel like women should start off eating and then why was the reason for them?

And again, this is only based on conversations and research. I've done with people who said, I hate intermittent fasting. Practical experience. And I think it has a lot to do with center of gravity and how much you hold on to fat wise and how much I hold on to fat wise and how much I hold on to fat wise. Don't you think though genetics plays a big, big role? A huge part. I mean, in terms of it, I mean, you have like a nine pack when you don't, when you basically lift this pen up and put it back that, you know, someone like me, I would have to like

basically be so restricted with my diet and like crush every workout. I mean, basically starve myself to keep that, you know. I think there's like some- Analytics are a huge part of it. It's a huge part. I think that something should be, I think that people should be very aware of that, right? Like, it's, you know, you can't judge yourself based on what someone else, like if you do it with someone else, if you're looking at someone else and they look, you know, quote unquote, the way you want to look, by you just doing what they're doing and just, it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get to that. Like everyone is different.

That's why you have to do your own. And that's on this, like, I'm like recapping, right? It's really important to not compare yourself or judge yourself based on someone else because what's going to be your genetics are very different than my genetics and if I do what you do It won't work for me. If you do what I do your body will respond differently Respond differently. It just will. Yeah, you know, an immune and that's why when people say, oh, you got to do keto or you got to do Well, that's because it works good for you. So of course you're gonna tell me I should be job witness Of course you're gonna say that right What if jail witness of course you're gonna say that right

What if that's not what what if that doesn't work for me and most of the time that's the thing most the time It won't work for you. I'm the same most the time it wouldn't work for you. It would work for me if I again I think a lot of it's mentally Okay, I'm sorry not to interrupt you again But I will I think at the end of day though, these are all repackaged diets. They're all within the same vein. Like intermittent, all these other ones is about a calorie deficit, right? And it's about, you've got to, in any of the ways, moving more and consuming less. And that's the end of the day.

Those are the basics. Those are the basics. Those are the basics. Those are the basics. And then you can figure out like a little, you can, that's 90%. And then you can tweak it a little bit here and there. Absolutely. I think though, to answer the question or the, the constant question that you always brought up, there's so much information out there. What am I supposed to do? I think you need those categories in order to have someone say, Oh, I'm going to try do? I think you need those categories. In order to have someone say,

oh, I'm gonna try this and see if it works for me. If those categories didn't exist, it would be the Wild Wild West. I think people need to have pockets of understanding on how things work. If yourself you're getting paid, try it. If your body responds and complements your workout, be it to deficit or whatever it might be,

and that style of diet is good for you. Try it diet, I'm not a fan of the word, it is what it is, but you know, yeah, you need to know something that has to be some sort of guide. Yeah, let me make sense. I got you. I think I think that's good. I think I've kind of, I think we're out into how long is that like two hours and six minutes now, but no, I'm joking. You're amazing. I love you.
