There's a lot of great information, but just wanted to give you a fair warning.

Speaker 2:

You really do have to define where you're going to put the best use of your time, and so what we've learned about, we call them income producing activities. It may not be that you're going to get the check that day, but you know, the activities that I'm doing right now, further down on the calendar, are going to pay back to us in some way, shape or form. So it is an investment. It's not just time wasted or time spent, but it's an investment that's going to pay off in the future.

Speaker 1:

Welcome to the Undiscovered Entrepreneur, the podcast where brand new entrepreneurs come to life and could quite possibly be discovered. Join me, DJ Scoob, and the rest of the Scoob believers as we help these new businesses become a reality. And now away we go. Hello, Scoob believer, and welcome to another episode of the Undiscovered Entrepreneur, and it's me, DJ Scoob, and thanks for joining us. Before I do anything else, I want to make sure I announce our Scoob believer over the week. If you want to be the Scoob believer over the week, interact with me on any of my social platforms, whether it be TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, any of those. You interact with me and you have a chance to be the Scoob believer of the week. So today's school believer of the week is Justin Wright. Now, Justin Wright actually went into my TikTok and liked every single one of my videos. The interesting thing about Justin he actually does not have a business or his own entrepreneurship adventure, but that's okay. Sometimes people just like to listen to podcasts and like specific things that they hear. Thank you, Justin, for being a school believer and being the school believer of the week. Thank you for your questions. All right, our guest for this week is Jude. Now Jude has been called the fitness pastor. I did a little bit of a story behind that one. I can't wait for you to hear about that. Anyway, he has some amazing stories and some great information. We go into a nice little analogy for you about growing your business. It's fantastic, Can't wait for it. It's going to be towards the end, so hang in there, but it's going to be awesome. So let's listen to Jude. Salutations, school believers. And we are here again with another amazing, brand-spoken new entrepreneur. Today we are here with Jude. Hey Jude, how are you doing? Scoob, how are you doing? I'm doing great, Fantastic. Thank you so much for agreeing to be on the Undiscovered Entrepreneur. I didn't really want to say hey, Jude, but it came out that way. Okay, I just have one really serious question to ask you. Okay, you ready?

Speaker 2:

I'm ready All right, all right.

Speaker 1:

Are you a school believer?

Speaker 2:

Well, of course, yeah, who wouldn't be a school believer?

Speaker 1:

All right, jude. Thank you so much for being a school believer. I really appreciate you. All right. So, jude, just tell me a little bit about who you are and what your business is and how long you've actually been doing it for.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you bet. So again, my name is Jude, my handle, so to speak, is called the FitnessPastor, and I earned that in a previous life when I was working in healthcare. So a large part of my responsibilities was to run and direct research projects that would validate alternative and complementary care practice things like massage, acupuncture, mindfulness, meditation validate those so that they would be brought into mainstream medicine as legitimate pieces of care. And in the midst of one of our research projects, a woman came up to me and one of the cohorts says working with she goes you know, do you remind me of being a FitnessPastor? And I just thought that was the coolest thing ever. And when I told my wife about it, she's like, oh my gosh, you've got to keep that name. And so you know, I'm not smart enough to think of things like that. And so I decided to keep it. So I retired It'll be jeez. This November 1st it'll be two years. That retired from corporate healthcare Now journeyed into the world of entrepreneurship. I'm a God Talks coach, so I work with people, helping them hear the voice of God, whether it be for life or business, for relationships. So let me take that ilk. We also, with my wife, we're business partners in real estate, and we also do direct sales with some nutrition technology. So we're pretty diverse, we're pretty busy, we're empty nesters, but it keeps our blood pumping.

Speaker 1:

Well, it definitely gives you something to do, that's for sure, especially empty nesters. I mean, after the kids are gone, it's like, okay, now what you know. You don't want to get to a board, but I like how you kind of we're definitely not bored, oh yeah, Well, not in the app for sure, but I like the fact that you kind of found this niche for yourself and the FitnessPastor. That's actually pretty cool. I mean, I'm kind of the same way too. It's like, well, that sounds good, I'm just going to stick with that. That's how I came up with DJ Scoob, but it's like somebody said you know, DJ Scoob, what do you think? I want to thank Josh for that. Thank you, Josh, for giving me that name. That was awesome, Anyway. So that's awesome. That's really great and I really love what you're doing. I've talked a little bit before and it's so amazing what you've been up to.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we it's. It's almost lazily speechless. You know, I had the opportunity to work with so many people In doing and so many different things. I get to serve different people in different ways. My faith is a very, you know, foundational part of my life and the fact that I can express that in the things that I do. You know, sometimes people, you know, when they retire, it's like, well, I go find the rocking chair, the swing on the front porch and they just kind of gaze into nowhere land. But for me it's not about retiring, it's about refiring. I really believe God has placed more things on my heart to do and that's where we're at right now.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's the thing about I want to do this until I fall over dad. I mean that's for sure, right? I mean I don't want to stop doing it, because if I stop doing this or I stop doing whatever it is Whether it be work or whatever I just feel like I'm not using it. So I'm probably going to lose it, and I really don't want to lose it because I love what I'm doing it, so I want to do it forever.

Speaker 2:

So I mean, if you love it, why stop? Exactly that part never made sense to me.

Speaker 1:

Well, some people say, okay, I've done my do. I'm just going to sit back and do nothing. I'm like why there's so much more we can do. We got so much time on our hands.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, you know, meaning and purpose can change throughout life, and so I mean, if you're meant to golf 18 holes every day after retirement for the rest of your life, more power to you. But you know that's just not my wheelhouse.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, well, I don't have to worry about that. I couldn't golf, with my life dependent on it, so it's okay Minus your golf maybe, but not. Yeah, I was gonna say I really like to know what kind of made you start this. I mean, you kind of gave us a little bit, uh, a kind of a short, short version of how things got started, but what was the catalyst that actually, besides getting the name, obviously, and kind of making things go, what was the catalyst that got you started?

Speaker 2:

right. Well, my wife and I were actually a blended family and when I met her, she was widowed and she was always a serial entrepreneur. Her husband, uh, at the time, was also an entrepreneur, and so it was kind of in her blood. Um, it wasn't so much a part of my DNA, uh, about being around here. I found that there there was a part of me that was tickled by that and was wanting to explore it, and so I was very supportive of her, you know, as I was working in my corporate job and trying to help her facilitate that. You know, from our home and now that I am not going into a brick and mortar building, I'm actually Staying at home and I can actually, you know, start to explore what that means for me and how to Really learn about myself. You know, I find out things about myself as a part of this and, like I say, it's, it's almost like the people just come to you. You're like literally attracting people. You're not trying to, you know, knock on the door and you know I don't want to say scam or spam, but you're not cold calling or anything. It just when it when it's a part of you, that's a part of your DNA or your makeup. It just is a natural part of conversation and, uh, if you don't Uh to marry you to, but and it's just, it's a great way to live. You know it's not all easy, you know, um, but I just love that part of it, the part that I get to meet people. You know, my wife and I always talk about vitamin C, which is connection or community, and we get to do a lot of that. I just love that part of it. I love that vitamin C thing.

Speaker 1:

That's pretty awesome, because that's really what it's all about to connection and community. That's right. Yeah, we are meant to be.

Speaker 2:

Uh, no matter how much we develop ourselves. There's no point in holding that lamp under a bushel, and so we need to be able to do that Bushel, and so we need to bring that to the world, to the people around us, and, uh, you know that. That's what our mission is about.

Speaker 1:

Awesome. You know, I've noticed the same thing too when I do my podcast, where I seem to attract a lot more positivity to me than I did ever before People like yourself or anybody else that's been on my podcast. A lot of those people that came up to me Organically saying, hey, I want to be on your show, or they just happen to be friends of mine that I came across said, hey, you know, I can have you on my podcast. What do you think? And it just seems like the more and more I do this, the more and more Awesome people that I get to meet and it's nice to have the support of your other half. I mean, that's a really big thing. Uh, a lot of other, a lot of uh spouses Don't understand what we go through as entrepreneurs or what goes through our heads. Sometimes that's even frustrating, right, but at the same time, if, if they understand, or if they've experienced entrepreneurship, they kind of understand what's going on, it's really, it's really awesome to have that kind of support.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, unity in the household is huge, you know, even if your partner isn't, um, an entrepreneur at all. Just having Giving you the, the green light is huge, you know, because, like you said, it can be a weird wide wacky ride and, uh, sometimes you just never know when these things are gonna, you know, explode. Uh, you don't know when the downtime is going to be. I mean, you, you do take control of your business and you you do Try to make it your own, but circumstances being as they are, you know things, opportunities present themselves the most unlikely times and you know we have to be ready for that. So if you have a spouse who's saying Go ahead, I get it, I understand. It just makes it all the better.

Speaker 1:

It really does. And the thing is we do have to be ready for those ups and downs as entrepreneurs because we don't really know what's going to happen next. It's not like we have a set paycheck day to day, that, or month to month, or week to week, or however it is. You get paid. You know we don't know what's going to happen, but having that support kind of makes up for that, I think.

Speaker 2:

It certainly does. You know, my wife and I, you know If we feel like things are sliding or getting out of control. You know we always remind ourselves. You know we're we're the employee at night or, excuse me, we're the we're the boss at night. So we set the schedule for the next day and then we become our own employee the next day. We actually execute that schedule. So just having that mindset of you know Discipline is kind of an overused word, I think, but you know just having the wherewithal to Set a schedule and be, you know having the integrity of following through on that schedule and you know being in control of your business. You know I, Even if you're an employee, you know there's going to be things that come up that maybe distract you from doing whatever your Tasks are. You know those things are inevitable. But still, um, I think with an entrepreneur, you do have to have the, the wherewithal to Understand, you know what, what is most important thing right now, and to actually do that.

Speaker 1:

Well, keeping our focus on what's next and what's the most important thing to work on. Kendra is scheduling it that way. Kendra keeps us moving forward. As far as that's going, we got to prioritize these things and know where our next move is going to be. So when it comes to those downtimes, we have a set plan for that time where, if you don't, it can be frustrating because things are kind of on the downside and you kind of start looking a little bit bleak. But as long as you have that plan set, at least you know what to look for next.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I was liking it like sand in an hourglass. You can look at it and say, well, sand's going through the hourglass. This is just marking time where sand's going through the hourglass. I can't stop it and I'm losing ground, but the sand is going to go through the hourglass no matter what. So how do we make the most of the time that we have?

Speaker 1:

Exactly. And what we do with that time is what makes us who we are. Do we sit back and like, oh, I don't want to do this anymore, and just watch it happen, or do we say, oh, I'm running out of time, let's do something about this today.

Speaker 2:

That's right All right. Got to take control of your business.

Speaker 1:

Exactly, exactly, all right. So what I'd like to know at this point is every entrepreneur, new or old or long or short, always comes through some pitfalls and problems that they've had in their experience. So I know you haven't been doing this for really too long, but do you have any pitfalls or problems that you've encountered up to this point?

Speaker 2:

I would say kind of what we were just discussing before, is, if you don't have a schedule, the schedule's going to steamer all you, because things that are important all of a sudden become an emergency, and we don't want everything to be an emergency. You really do have to define where you're going to put the best use of your time, and so what we've learned about we call them income producing activities. It may not be that you're going to get the check that day, but you know the activities that I'm doing right now, further down on the calendar, are going to pay back to us in some way, shape or form. So it is an investment. It's not just time wasted or time spent, but it's an investment that's going to pay off in the future. So I think for me, having that mindset so that I stay disciplined in doing those daily activities helps remember it's just like a dollar investment. I'm going to get a return on that if I put in the work for it right now. So again, taking control of your business and making sure that the activities that you're doing, if not going to pay you that day by the end of the day, you know as an investment that's going to pay you down the line.

Speaker 1:

Exactly, you know. It gives a whole new meaning to time is money. You know what I mean. When I first heard that, I was like, okay, time is money. It's spent time money. But time is the one precious thing we have as entrepreneurs that we can either spend or not spend and have a return on or not a return on. It's made a whole different process of my thinking when I think about time as money. Now.

Speaker 2:

Right. And the way I think of it too is like if I'm a farmer, I can plant one seed, or I can plant 10 seeds, but it's not about the seeds, it's about the plants that come from those seeds, which create seeds for more plants. So again, it's really how am I thinking about what it is that I'm doing, so that it's not just I'm not just doing a transactional thing here right now, but it's how do I, what am I taking this time to do that's going to pay off in the future, times 10, times 100 or times a thousand. And so I think, as entrepreneurs, you get so caught up because you can be kind of isolated. Sometimes you can feel like you're really by yourself, you're on your own, and you just get so caught up in the to-do list. But you're just, you feel like it's a great day if I just got through half of my to-do list and we can think kind of just flip that into I'm a farmer, I'm planting seeds, but it's not about the seed, it's about the plant that's going to create more fruit, that's going to be more fruit, that's going to create even more seeds Really changes how you look at what it is that you're doing and how you maybe pay attention what it is that you're doing.

Speaker 1:

Exactly exactly. It's just what we do at that time, right, just like we said before, I'm definitely going to clip that seed part out. Boy, I like that. That's a great analogy. I love that we all, as entrepreneurs, have somebody that we look up to, have somebody that influences what we do. Do you have somebody like that in your life? I mean I'd say your wife, but we already talked about her but I mean, do you have anybody that you look up to as like, maybe a coach or something like that?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean there's a lot of people that I look for for different parts of my life, whether it be character, trait or the way they handle themselves or anything along those lines. From a business perspective right now, a guy that means the world to me is his name is Ed Rush. He's a former Marine fighter pilot. He's a successful businessman who lives in California. He's developed this God Talks program that I'm intensely and totally involved with right now. I just really appreciate his ability and his wisdom from a perspective of business, but not just business, but faith-based business. It really spoke to me because, being in the corporate world that I was in, people knew my faith was important, but still there was a little bit of a gag order on how you could express yourself. Now that I'm free of that restriction, I can speak more authentically. I guess you could say, without fear or reservation of how people respond. Again, it just helps me to be able to attract people rather than trying to somehow artificially market or artificially sell to somebody. Makes sense.

Speaker 1:

No, it makes perfect sense. Authenticity itself is very important in entrepreneurship. People are going to want to know who you are and they're going to want to know the real you, because if you go in there and then portray yourself as something else, they could literally smell that a lot of times. I know it sounds kind of weird, but a lot of people, especially nowadays, when all they have to do is hit a few buttons on a keyboard and realize exactly who you are- that's right.

Speaker 2:

You know we're totally out there, especially if you're putting yourself out there on social media, to be one persona on social media and then behaves totally differently, even if it was be in this interview situation. You know that. You're right. I think it. People smell that in a heartbeat and they could be a hundred miles away and they smell it. So you know I'm not putting on ears with people. I I'm not. You know faking anything. I try to be as transparent as I can. I allow people to ask you know Whatever they want, so that they get to know me, because I agree with you. Just yet you think you know if they don't Even remotely like you, or do you think they're even gonna want to do business with this? If you're lying to them, they're probably not gonna like you for very long. Yeah it's full up front right exactly, exactly.

Speaker 1:

It makes things a lot easier in the end. Yeah, to be truthful with people and be transparent, like you say. So good stuff, dude. I appreciate that. Alright, this is a question I really like asking new entrepreneurs because it kind of makes you think a little bit. So I'm gonna test you over here. When will you know you've made it, when we've made it to that point where you say this is exactly where I Wanted to be and and this is exactly what I wanted to have, what that looked like to you, jude?

Speaker 2:

That's an awesome question, probably one of the best questions I've ever been asked you. Well done so, I would say To. When I was given the name Quote-unquote, given the name fitness pastor, that was kind of the start of it for me because it I really felt like it was integrating who I felt I was with, what it was I was actually doing with people, and At that time I was it like I said. I, being in the corporate world, you couldn't really express yourself. You know as fully as maybe you thought you should or could or whatever. But I would say now you know, now that I'm out of that life, you know people still when they hear fitness pastors it's a cute name and everything and they like it and I tell the story and they like the story. But for me it's when somebody feels if I've helped somebody connect Themselves to their own meaning and purpose, I that's a win, you know. And if I had a small part to play in that, wow, you know that I really feel like God used me in a way that Suit, it's my meaning and purpose, so it's it's just a win-win. And you know, to be paid on top of that is kind of like ice icing on the cake, but just connecting people with meaning of purpose, which means I'm fulfilling my meaning purpose. That that's the it for me.

Speaker 1:

Vantax. That's actually great to hear because you know a lot of people that get asked that question. It turned kind of to physical things you know cars, houses or whatever. But I mean ours, yours of mine, actually very similar. As long as I'm helping somebody else, that really does my heart good. When I get that feeling that I know that I've helped them connect to something that made it better for them, I know in my heart they're gonna go out and do the same thing for somebody else and so on and so on and so on, and that's how we're gonna change the world in our own way. So when I when I feel that, that's when I know I've made it.

Speaker 2:

It's like that seed thing you know you've planted a seed and that person's gonna be starting to plant seeds too. So, yeah, I love that. That's great.

Speaker 1:

And we can always give a few of those seeds away too.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you can. You can eat the fruit that those seeds come from. You can Plant the seeds that come from that you, so you can harvest it, you know. So there there's a lot of things that can be done. You can store the seeds and wait for later. So there, there's a whole bunch of things that can be done with it as a part.

Speaker 1:

This whole entrepreneur thing turned into growing stuff, so I like it. I think I hear a theme happening here, so All right, great, all right. So if you Happen to meet someone that wants to do the same entrepreneur adventure as you just like say, happened to run into him and they say, hey, I want to do something similar to you, what advice would you give them? What steps would you have them take to get started?

Speaker 2:

Oh, so there's another good question. I'm actually asked that. I Don't want to say a lot, but, you know, with a little bit of regularity. So what I would ask them is what? What is their goal? Kind of like what you just asked me what, what is it gonna take for you to be satisfied or fulfilled from a Vocational perspective, and do you think you, what you do, it would align with who you are in a way that would make you want to make that a business model for yourself, or at least part of a business model? You know, I I think some people they get caught by the hot, white, shiny thing and they start chasing the, the white, hot, shiny thing, not knowing what it is that they're chasing. It's just a white, hot, shiny thing. And so if you can find a way to help them Identify what it is that makes that white, height, hot shiny thing so appealing that the other hot, white, shiny things aren't as appealing and they really get Focused on what it is that that drives them, that they can focus on that. That doesn't always happen in a single Conversation and it does take some reflection, I think, for people, because we do, our attention spans are so short.

Speaker 1:

That's for sure.

Speaker 2:

Wait, it's a microwave society. We expect things to happen Instantaneously and, as you know, jesse, this is not a quick rich thing. You need some time to get some traction and have those seeds take root, so to speak, and develop a business that that's really gonna grow.

Speaker 1:

Exactly, exactly. That's good advice. That's really good advice. Yeah, we're still going with the seed thing, so it's what we do have to take root right. That's I like that that's good stuff right now taking root.

Speaker 2:

We're not just seed in the ground, we're gonna take root.

Speaker 1:

Hold you. There's a theme in there somewhere. Okay, no, that's, that's good, jude, I really appreciate everything that she said there and yeah, if you ever come across somebody like that, give them that advice. That's good stuff. I Know you haven't been doing this very long, but if I wanted to hire your services, but I have two other people doing something very similar to you and offering the same kind of money, what would set you apart from everybody else in your business?

Speaker 2:

Well, the first thing I would say is I don't talk about money, I talk about value, and so if it's not God talks, with due respect to any other coaches, I would say it's probably not the same thing, because it, in terms of the way I approach people with the God talks program, it's not a directive program like what is common with most other coaching platforms. What we're literally doing is trying to align people, to hear God's voice in their lives and then to help them hear it so that they follow it. So it sounds kind of out there, but God is always speaking to us and, like we talked about before, in society we're so distracted by things. If we can remove some of the distractions and provide an opportunity for people to listen and then to follow what is being Spoken to them, we believe that their life is going to be enriched. We believe that their life is going to be enriched in a in a in a deeply impactful way.

Speaker 1:

Listen to that little voice because it is trying to tell you something and nine times out of ten it's something that's really good for you, that you should do. I mean, a lot of people will be shut out to that voice. You know what I mean. They'll hear it and like, oh no, that's not for me, or whatever, when it's really something they really need to. At least, you know, take a shot at, or, or start it or something like that, just to see if it really is going to be for you, not or not. I mean, if you don't take that shot, then you're going to be like you know, why didn't I? And then you're going to have regret and then it's going to be too late. Time is short.

Speaker 2:

It is. You know, we. I don't want to get hung up on the word obedience, but just the following through on what it is that you're hearing is a big deal. It is a big deal and if you deny that by even 10 days or 10 months, it diminishes the impact of what it is you could have had if you said yes to it right away, and that's not to say you're not going to have impact anymore. But if you can imagine the impact that was possible had you said yes in the beginning, you can't even put words onto that. How can you put even put a dollar value on that? If it's a relationship, somebody close to you or somebody who you want to be close to you, you can't put a financial dollar amount on that. Saying yes when you've been given the download, so to speak, is really important. We do say no a lot. God, he's inviting us to say yes to things. We distract ourselves, as you said, jesse, to the point where we just can't even hear, see, feel or sense that that message is coming through.

Speaker 1:

That's why it's important to do things now, just like you're saying. Actually, we're going to say it again Scoobly Lovers, I can, I am, I will and I'm doing it today. That's my tagline All right, yeah, thank you. That was actually from my son when he was six, and we've carried it together since then.

Speaker 2:

That's awesome.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's really cool Do things now. Why are you thinking about it? If you wait too long, either you're going to forget about it and not do it, or you're going to wish you started it back then. That's a sad thing. Let's do it now, All right. So here's my favorite question, but I did steal it from another podcast, Sorry, everybody. What is one question you wish I would have asked you, but didn't? I always miss one really good question that everybody's ready for and I never get to ask that question. What is that question for you, Jude?

Speaker 2:

You're asking me what I wish you would have asked me.

Speaker 1:

Correct.

Speaker 2:

I just want to make a strike out. That is really cool. What took you so long?

Speaker 1:

Oh well, sorry about that, I'll get to it sooner.

Speaker 2:

That's the question I wish you would have asked me. What took you so long? What took you so long? I'm sorry.

Speaker 1:

What's the answer to that? What took you so long there, Jude?

Speaker 2:

Stubbornness, I think, and just kind of what we were talking about before, is, sometimes you are in disbelief about what it is that you're being called to do and you're like, oh, that guy, really I don't think. So we rationalize, we try to discern what the real meaning is, we get overly spiritual with it and again all we need is a simple yes, rather than trying to analyze, reanalyze, cross-analyze, ask a friend about it, go to therapy about it, whatever it is, and say, yeah, so what took you so long, jude? Why did you do this sooner? It's like well, here I am, that's all I can say.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, and that's a lot of people actually ask that question of themselves and sometimes, especially the way you're describing it in this particular point imposter syndrome is a lot of what stops us from doing anything, because it's like who am I to do this? Just like you said, I'm not overeducated like some of these other people are. These people have been doing it longer than I have. Why would they listen to me? But instead of saying that, we should say, well, let's just get started. I mean, maybe I do know more, let's see what happens when we put it out there. Maybe people will actually listen to me. There's always somebody a little bit behind me, somebody's always 10% behind you that wants to learn what you know now. So be that person that they learned from. All right, so that's good. Thank you very much. And what took you so long? Okay, All right. So what I like to do with all my guests is get a six month goal. So I'd like to know where you see yourself and your company in the next six months. What goals have you set for yourself?

Speaker 2:

So the goals I have for myself they have 10 qualified or quality clients that I'm working with. Each one of my clients we have a six month relationship that we develop with them, and so I'd like to have 10 people two right now. So I am very interested in cultivating that and just seeing how that works for me right now. Like I said, we have some real estate that we're doing. We're actually sweat equity on some of it. I want to get the sweat equity part of it.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

So free of my time for some other things. It's enjoyable as that is. That's not my wheelhouse or my skill set, so it's a slog for me, but I put my time in the way I'm supposed to with our partners, stick to my agreements with that. And then we have some financial targets with our nutritional technology that we're trying to hit too, and I believe that we're actually pretty close to that. Especially now through the holidays is a time where we can really get some traction in finishing that off as well.

Speaker 1:

Awesome, all right, so 10 clients. We'll go ahead and count the two that you got already towards that 10.

Speaker 2:

Okay, there we go. All right, Thank you sir.

Speaker 1:

And then the real estate thing. I'd really like to see if quit sweating that equity, let's get that done. So what I'd like to do with you, jude, in the next six months, I want to have another follow-up conversation with you, just like we're having today, in six months, and we're going to hold you accountable for those 10 clients in that real estate. Okay, is that all right with you?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1:

All right, thank you so much. All right, jude, this is your time to shine. I'd like you to talk about your company and what you do and how we get ahold of you. Okay, ready, set go. Okay.

Speaker 2:

So again, I'm Jude Sullivan, the fitness pastor and a God Talks coach. If you want to reach me, you can email me at 44HeyJude at gmailcom or you can text me at 608-575-5702 and mention God Talks. Again, we have a six months coaching platform which provides you with, every other week, sessions with me where we introduce you to ways to communicate with God, whether it relates to life, business relationships or whatever it is that's on your heart when developing a coaching relationship with us. I'll also throw in two free tickets to either a live or a virtual God Talk event, which is valued at $500. So if you're interested in any of that, the phone call, the text or the email is not any sort of a guarantee that we'll follow through, but at least we can have a conversation to see if this is something that would be helpful.

Speaker 1:

Awesome. Let's get some kind of way to put the event that you're talking about in my show notes. That way somebody could just click on it and we can get them all signed up for that and see if we can get them that free coaching Okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so the coaching. Once they have the coaching service dialed in, then we'll send them information about the event.

Speaker 1:

Perfect. All right, jude, it's been an absolute pleasure talking to you on the Undiscovered Entrepreneur today. I love the analogies that we put together. I'm going to be clipping all those out for short, just so people can enjoy those right up front.

Speaker 2:

Okay, Awesome Thank you, Tess I appreciate your time, man.

Speaker 1:

My pleasure, my pleasure. All right, scuba-lavers, stay tuned for the wrap up. All right, everybody, have a good evening. Bye-bye everybody. All right, ladies and gentlemen, that was Jude. Wow, what an amazing conversation. I had so many great insights and I love the analogies that you had. We talked a lot about seeds and how that all worked out. That was really cool. So I enjoyed that a lot, but he had a lot going for me. I'm really excited to see if he has those 10 clients that we're talking about and we get that sweat equity taken care of. Jude, thank you so much for being on the Undiscovered Entrepreneur. I see some great things happening. We're going to follow up with you in those six months and see how things turned out All right. So a little more about me. What's going on? This will be I'm not exactly sure when this recording is going out, but on November 16th will be my second year podversary, so I've actually been podcasting for two years. What Are you kidding me? I can't believe it's been two years for me to do this podcast. It's been a phenomenal ride. I really know that we're going to have a lot more years to come, with some fantastic entrepreneurs, people that we're going to help along the way and some new experiences, including something I've come up with and I'm trying to get it launched before January 1st. I wanted to start the new year with another segment of the Undiscovered Entrepreneur called Undiscovered Advice, but I need your help. That's where I need you out there. If you can, please go to tuepodcastnet backslash advice Any entrepreneurs out there that want to give some amazing advice go there. That goes to a speak pipe which is kind of like a voicemail thing for about three to five minutes. Tell me your best advice and that could possibly end up being on my new segment of Undiscovered Entrepreneur Advice. So if you can do that, I would really super appreciate it. I'm trying to get 50 before the end of the year, so let's do that. Another question I'd like to ask you, my listeners, is what entrepreneurs would you like to hear about? I want to start segmenting them a little bit. So if you want to hear more about bookkeepers, then let me know in the, in my social medias or anywhere like that. If you want to hear more about physical product entrepreneurs, I want to start segmenting, maybe putting them in segments of three still kind of in the works, but you are my listeners, so you are the ones that are going to tell me what I need to put on my show. Another thing I'm still trying to get to podcast. Things are getting a little bit tight. Still need to try to put the money together. Do it, please, please, if you can go ahead and contribute, I guess you could say to me trying to get me to podcast. I got some big things happening, but I need to be able to go and I need your help to go. So please contribute to my trip to podcast in Florida. Go to tuepodcastnet and then click on become a contributor, where you can contribute a dollar, I don't care 50 cents, whatever. If there's something you would like me to make for you, that you want to buy for me, I will do it, whatever I needed to make this happen and another thing, too, I'm trying to get done before the beginning of the year, at least started is entrepreneur in a box. So what this is is basically entrepreneurs that want to start an entrepreneur adventure and a podcast. So if you're an entrepreneur that wants to start a podcast, or if you want to start an entrepreneur adventure with a podcast, I'm building a box with all the necessary tools. Inside this box. There's more information coming for that and I might be starting a Kickstarter on that too, but it depends on you, it depends on my listeners, it depends on if you want to actually have something like this or not. So I got a lot of stuff happening here all goals before the end of the year, so let's see if we can make all that happen. All right, scoobaloo, we're. Thank you so much for another great episode. I'm looking forward to having you listen to my next episode, which is a coaching. Thank you, everybody. Have a great night. Bye, bye, hello there, dj Scoob here and I just want to personally say thank you for listening to my program. I really hope you learned something. Tune in in two weeks to listen to another brand new entrepreneur. And remember I can, I am, I will and I'm doing it today.

Speaker 1:

That's when you're in the flow. That's when you're in that, in that zone you connect.

Speaker 2:
