Episode Transcript
Lance: Are we ready to roll?
Carl: Oh hey.
Lance: Ladies and gentlemen.
Carl: What’s up everybody?
Lance: Guardians of the Galaxy III. My son has seen it. And what’s the story with Guardians of the Galaxy III? Was it some kind of it’s not a drama? It’s a Marvel comic movie, isn’t it?
Carl: Yeah absolutely. But it was incredibly well done in my opinion. The storytelling is fabulous and has quite honestly very little to do with what we’re doing here today. I was just doing some banter before the show started.
Lance: Okay. Well, it got my attention. You got me interested. Guardians of the Galaxy III. I always like the guardians. I wanted to tell you guys that this is a very special day, because I got a revelation, I want to give you immediately. It’s from the Book of Acts if you want to go there and I’m going to read it to you. It’s chapter 13. “The next Sabbath nearly the whole city assembled to hear the word of the Lord, but when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul and we’re blaspheming”. Interesting study all the elements here are so relevant to the world right now. Notice that when crowds are responding. I don’t care what the crowds are responding to. There’s going to be other people who are threatened by movements. They’re threatened by momentum. They’re threatened by fans.
So, when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. It wasn’t that they saw what Paul was teaching. They weren’t they wasn’t they were fighting with his ideas. I think about this is like even like within political systems. It’s like what we’re suffering with so much in America is you have two teams that the goal is to defeat the other team. The problem is the country loses points, instead of teams working together you’ve got opposition teams and you’ll see jealousy is what drives a lot of it envy over influence. Which is not good for us, because we’re a movement that is going to succeed by winning people and the more we win, you think that people are going to like you. No, no different in the book of Acts. They’re going to contradict and be envious of influence. Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and they said it was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first since you repudiated and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life.
Wow. Since you’re rejecting the gift of eternal life. It’s a pretty big price to pay for that one. We’re turning to the Gentiles and so the Lord has commanded us evidently, they have been seeing a verse that God been to them about and now they’re saying this is it. I placed you as a light for the Gentiles that you may bring salvation to the end of the earth. So, we’re talking about Judeo Christian worldview. Remember something, the entire Christian movement was made up of Jews. It was Jews that formed the 12 apostles. Jesus was the Jewish Messiah and it was the Old Testament Jewish story. So, the Judeo part of American history is woven into the DNA of the fabric of the nation. When the Gentiles Heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord. Yay. Our team’s going to get something. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believe. Interesting idea that there are people who God is his hand on set apart to be appointed for eternal life. And the word of the Lord was being spread through the whole region. But the Jews incited the devout women of prominence and the leading men.
Notice the elites. See how this really works today. The prominent men and the elites, the leading men and they instigated a persecution. This is where we’re heading. We’re heading into instigated persecution. If you’re worried about, well, you’re just getting people upset. Now, it’s inevitable that people are going to be instigating persecution against people that are creating people movements. So, they instigated persecution against Barnabas and Saul and drove them out of their district. They cancelled them. They kicked them out of their geography. They cast them out. But here’s the verse I want you to catch. But Barnabas and Paul shook off the dust of their feet in protest against them and went on to Iconium. And the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Now there’s the missing piece. Rejection, contradiction, blasphemy, being cancelled and because they were taking ground because the message was going out because people that were appointed received it. They were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. What I want to talk about now is an important message. It’s important because the news cycle is going to continue to be an exasperating cycle as these forces that are in fundamental disunity in worldview and in toleration of each other begin to pull the country apart and yet notice the unifying factor here that is so empowering. The disciples weren’t filled with anger. They weren’t filled with perplexity. They weren’t filled with vindication. They were filled with joy. I want to talk to you about the mentality and the mindset of overcoming in the last days. Being able to be hyper stimulated and hooked and triggered.
The interesting thing about AI that’s going to become more problematic is artificial intelligence has the ability without any kind of ethical heart to it. It can literally be used to craft messages for audiences that would be even more incendiary in manipulating unthinking masses by triggering them with the right kind of what we call Clickbait. The titles that hook you. The photographs that upset you and then the with AI. They can create deep fake pictures. So, we had like Mar-a-Lago raid and it shows a Melania Trump all distressed and Donald Trump being led away with handcuffs. This is the other part of AI. It can create pictures with real people. And this is going to get even more dangerous because it can even imitate voices. So now you can have deep fake videos, faces, and voices saying things that were not even said. Think of how it’s going to be easy to matches on this incendiary populous of agitation.
The key is the disciples kept themselves in the Holy Spirit filled with joy as they went on. So, I want to talk to you about how to live a life that is going to be what I call a Level 10 Life. Which is a life that is moving in the rhythm of God’s purposes even in the face of opposition and not internalizing. We’re not used to this. This is a new chapter of history for the church in America where you’re doing what you’re called to do and it’s going to elicit envy, it elicit contradiction, it elicit persecution and yet the key verse, they were filled with joy which means that they did not interpret the opposition as personally injurious. They saw it as an evidence that they were doing their job right and they went on happy to the next place and in the next place where they went the Iconiums, when they get there They so spoke that a large number of people believed but both of Jews and Greeks but again, the Jews who disbelieve stirred up the minds of the Gentiles and embittered them.
We’re living in the day where minds are going to be coming under siege and acidic contents going to go into heads and we’re going to see more and more inflamed people more important than ever that you yourself are clear about what you’re called to do and that you’re moving in the joy of Lord. Because Mercedes Sparks, Carl, you’re both with me today. The joy of the Lord is your what joy? I’m sorry. The joy of the Lord is your what Mercedes?
Mercedes: Strength.
Lance: Yes, that’s the right answer. Bing, bing, bing. The joy of the Lord is your strength. And that strength is going to be proportionate to how you keep your head and guard what you’re thinking. This kind of goes to state management. Carl, what are the elements of state management? So, if somebody’s a fighter or someone’s a comedian, you’ve done a little bit of stand-up comedy, you’ve got to venture into all of things. How do you guard your mind? What do we know about the triad of state? What’s it made up of?
Carl: Well according to certain studies in certain fields it’s about your self-talk. It’s about the deep embodiment so your physiology and it’s also about, let’s see.
Lance: Your focus.
Carl: Your focus. What gets your attention gets you.
Lance: Yeah. What gets your attention gets you. So, you have be careful what you focus on evidently what Paul and Barnabas focused on was they’re going to the Gentiles. They’re seeing progress. They’re making the right enemies. The enemies are provoked for the right reasons and that they could be joyful even when rejected because they were in the rhythm of God’s direction. They get to the next location. People’s minds are being stirred up but God kept granting that signs and wonders were done by their hands. The people of the city were divides. Some sided with the Jews and some of the apostles. Chapter 14 verse 4 and 5. It tells me that the populous movement, the populous Christian impact. When the awakening moves from its Asbury repentance and phase into bold disciples carrying a message out into the public sphere. I believe more and more we’re going to see supernatural backup on what God is doing and we’re going to see opposition to what God is doing. But you can’t let the opposition get your focus, because then you’ll get your self-talk would be why are they against me, they’re always going to be, this shouldn’t be allowed this is America. And then the physiology part which is the most mysterious.
You allow certain things to become embedded in you emotionally and they become almost like a trigger within you that causes you to focus more on persecution and how much you resent it and this is the way it’s supposed to be and it can create a negative triad. The empowering state is to focus on what God is doing and the fact that even adversity could be a sign you’re on the right track and you’re kind of hearing heaven cheer you on, because you’re also getting results. You’re getting fruit. This is all part of what we call Your Ultimate Life Strategy. This is one of our four-part series on Level 10 Living which is for the last days believer to be able to be in business, to be able to be resilient, to be able to bounce back, to be able to your recovery time is indication of your maturity. It’s like gumby. You bend, I should get a gumby here just to show what it looks like. You bend gumby but gumby always comes back. Why? Because your natural state is to be filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. Even when adversity and rejection happen. You can go with that inward witness. Lord, is this me or is this am I doing it right? Yeah, you’re doing fine. Boom. I feel joy because I’m doing what I’m called to do.
Now, this Ultimate Life Strategy, if I’m not mistaken Mercedes, is available then go to Level10Living, then see what we’re going to be talking about tonight. They can go to “Level10Living.com” and if you put the promo code “Podcast”, you get 10% off. And I want you to go there. Make sure you get this. It’s powerful material. We’re going to be talking about now. The psychology, the spiritual psychology of managing your soul and your spirit during periods of conflict and that that’s where we’re going to go. Mercedes?
Mercedes: Yeah, I just want to see too because this is a live broadcast. Please, which one’s mine? This one or that one? I don’t know. That one?
Lance: You’re talking about that one.
Mercedes: Thank you, Carl. So, put your Comments and questions in the chat and please pray for Lance. He just did a 2-hour webinar and you can tell. If you can tell, if you follow Lance a lot, you can tell. So, let’s pray for Lance and Paul, what’s so true about you though is that the audience like we went to LCI.
Lance: What’s LCI? Tell me what it is.
Mercedes: Oh, I don’t know what it stands for.
Lance: Lifestyle Christianity.
Mercedes: Thank you. Lifestyle Christianity with Todd White and we went over there. It was a younger audience and everybody was on the edge of their seat. I heard a message out of Lance I’ve never heard before and like with you, I get to hear your messages quite a bit. So, I know when it’s like the best of the audience never knows. But if you’re with Lance like Carl would know or Annabelle will know it’s like this is the best of Lance right now. But when a new thing comes out, I have this theory that it depends on the hunger of the audience. So, when the audience places demand on you, the anointing shows up and you did get some great stuff. So, I’m excited about this podcast.
Lance: Well, okay and I did and so when you say you could tell that Lance just did a because I’m fatigued? Is it because I’m exasperated? What do you say?
Mercedes: You run harder than anybody else I know. I mean I get exhausted just watching you travel and run and do everything God’s called you to do and you have a grace to do it. And so, you’ve done a lot today. You went to a hospital prayed for a friend. You met with a lot of different business calls today and you did a 2-hour webinar and now we’re going live because people like the live broadcast. So do us a favor. Like it, share it.
Lance: We’ve done 600 consecutive I think we did 600 consecutive Podcast.
Mercedes: I think so. Chelsea would know. Let me put the headset on and ask Chelsea.
Lance: It’s like 600 consecutive live Brian so they won’t let me, so when the shark, when the shark bites. So, when the sharks are swimming around your head and the enemies trying to latch on, you’re supposed to stay in the anointing. The anointing keeps you slippery. The anointing is called the oil of the Lord, the oil of gladness. The oil of gladness keeps you slippery those little biters can’t get a hold of you and you can just kind of beat them up like that which what I’m trying to stay out of that state of beating up my trucks.
Mercedes: So, Chelsea says yes to over 600 shows consecutively. We have never missed a day. We’ve never missed a day in 600 days. That’s amazing. The other thing is we just passed our thousandth show. So that’s also huge.
Lance: I’m going to read you a quote that Carl. Carl is showing me something here. One person with passion is better than 40 people merely interested. Now passion I think is a byproduct of doing what makes you the most alive and then now being able to monetize your passion is what I want you guys to start to think about. I don’t care about the economy, what’s going out there, there’s always going to be winners and losers in the economy but God hasn’t called you to lose. He’s called you to win. So, I want you to think about that’s why I’m teaching these courses now because your best days are now. God wired you for today. You were predestined to be alive now don’t go nail biting. This is your greatest moment and you’ve got ability in you. You do not know you have. You’ve got strength in you. You don’t know you have and one person with passion is better than 40 people that are merely interested and you’re supposed to be filled with the Holy Ghost and fire. Fireworks best in the area where you’re passionate.
Carl, helping people understand the balance of gifts and the balance of passion and yet it’s not just passion, it’s values. Because your use have a unique way of sanctifying and a sense qualifying what it is that you do best. I’d like you to go over to our prestigious our lightboard doesn’t have lights on. Does it have lights on the side?
Carl: It has them on.
Mercedes: In the glass.
Lance: It’s in the glass. Are you sure the lights are on the glass?
Carl: 100%.
Lance: Okay, I can’t see them from here. Would you go over to our light board and illuminate folks with something you showed me that is the integration model? We’re going to doing our Dream Trip coming up. I guess we only have 20 seats left. It’s almost totally sold out. Is it? Sold out?
Mercedes: Yeah. No. Yeah. We only have about 20 seats left. So, if you want to come to Dream Trip, grab your seat now. Otherwise, it’s going to be live stream for you.
Lance: Live stream. Well, live stream’s good. It’s just that you’re not in the room but you’re spying on it which is.
Mercedes: Lots of big surprises too. We got a lot of cool things cooking.
Lance: We have surprises.
Carl: We do.
Lance: Carl, explain to me.
Carl: I’m surprised.
Lance: The complexity of how to find where people fit in terms of their gifts and passions and values. Because I know that if they have a model for it they can put a helmet on that keeps hope alive and in a sense keeps them filled with the spirit and overcoming. Share your thoughts on that.
Carl: Sure thing. So, the format that I gave to you and that’s in the side of that notebook is slightly different than what’s on this board because this board slightly better reflects the 8th habit by Stephen Covey. So, most people are familiar with the 7 habits of Highly Effective people. There’s also the seven habits of highly effective teams and teens and a lot of highly effective habits. But with the 8th habit, the idea is finding your unique voice and that’s where you can overlap the area of what you’re good at, what you love, what the world needs, as well as what you can get paid for. So, what my dad was just talking about the overlap of your passions and your mission or your values, right? That’s going to be indicative of where you’re meant to go because you are biologically hardwired to want some of the things that you want, to desire some of the things that you desire and some of those drivers that we have like significance, right? Or community or certainty or uncertainty are hard boiled within us in our DNA.
So, we need to honor ourselves to our own selves be true to know ourselves in order to ultimately ascend the mountain of ourselves to really conquer that mountain of me as we talk about in the Level 10 curriculum. So, if you look at right here, what you’re good at can also be looked at as passion and profession. These are things that you’re likely be drawn toward in one way or another. So, the interest might help you figure out what your profession is going to be. The interest especially are going to overlay with passion. One of the best ways to cultivate passion in your own life is to pull the threat of curiosity in your life. So, the things that you’re naturally curious about, the things that you’re inquisitive about, follow up with those. Really spend some time doing a deep dive on those things because then, you’re more likely to enter into at least a state of microflow because you’re passionate about a subject and you’re learning more about it and it’s something.
Lance: Let me say something here. I know I’m interrupting It’s my show.
Carl: It was a level 10 interruption.
Lance: I got to interrupt myself. But to your point. So, Steve Jobs when I was studying Steve Jobs as a model and obviously the guy was gifted right? He built the whole Mac trillion-dollar company at Apple. And one of the things he did was he went to college and he dropped out. Because he saw he had adopted parents and he saw that they were paying a lot of money and he was bored. And he wasn’t getting anything out of it. The only core that he had an interest in was calligraphy. Now, here’s an interesting thing.
Carl: You can’t spell calligraphy without Carl.
Lance: Huh?
Carl: Can’t spell calligraphy without Carl. Anyway, I just want to interrupt you back. Go ahead.
Lance: Alright. Thank you for the interruption. So, he loves calligraphy and he studies the course on calligraphy. Now, a parent could say, my kid, I’ve tried to put him in college. He drops out and he wants to study calligraphy. How you going to make a living with calligraphy? His first product that he comes out with for Apple is going to be a font program that’s going to go up against his friend Bill Gates. These two guys were friends, right. You talk about two Titans hanging out together and Bill Gates had this certain kind of linear structured font that everything was done like a certain IBM font. Steve Jobs says, no man, its art people need to have an option of self-expression. So, he creates a program called Fonts De Leon which is kind of a play on Fonts De Leon. So, it’s Fonts De Leon instead of Fonts De Leon and the fonts were all various types of ways you could choose dip script that expressed you. That led to the evolution of his thinking regarding a different kind of inter experience for computer users getting away from IBM and going to the world that we now have become right on down on the iPhone the Steve Jobs vision. It started with him pursuing his passion and being curious about what he loves. So, look at what you’re curious about and don’t be so quick to dismiss it. It can be a key to a passion and a gifting I think is always connected to the passion. Okay, go ahead.
Carl: Yeah. I’m not 100% on the gifts always being connected to passions, but I don’t have enough literature to dismiss it either.
Lance: It is in the journal gifts and passion.
Carl: Anybody can publish anything these days. Who’s to verify this stuff?
Lance: Continue on. Continue on and I’ll do clean up when you’re done on my theories.
Carl: Yeah, yeah. Play clean up on that. Alright. So, if you’re looking at what you’re good at, passion, profession but it’s not something that the world needs, then you might be having fun with it. But ultimately, you’re going to feel relatively useless because although you feel good about it and yeah there is something there as far as the thing that you’re really doing day in and day out. It’s not what the world needs so it doesn’t actually amount to anything of significance other than well I feel good doing it because I’m passionate about it or because if I’m getting paid for and I’m good at it, then that’s a profession that’s great. Most people should like what they do, most people don’t like what they do. That’s one of the reasons that we’re in this, I don’t want to say free fall but quality of life as it relates to work has been declining over the last decade especially. So, that’s something that we’re going to see continuing moving forward until people really get the core concept of Ikigai. Which is the Japanese concept of convergence for lack of a better word, because there really is no direct translation.
So, moving around the board, what you’re good at and what you love, of course, we already mentioned passion that takes us over to our mission, right? So, what we love and what the world needs is our mission. Before we get there, if we’re doing what we love, we’re doing something that we’re good at and something the world needs but we’re not getting paid it, this might be delightful but no wealth. You’re not actually going to generate any type of generational wealth in order to pass on to future generations. You’re not even potentially going to have enough money to sustain yourself. So, one of the reasons that we have the archetype of the starving artist is because there’s not always a lot of money in the fine arts, in the high-end fine arts. If you’re an incredible world-renowned painter like, I don’t know, Hunter Biden, then of course, it would make sense that you’re getting like millions and millions of for your painting. Definitely not for the other stuff. But it’s because it’s his mission, right? To paint, to get his feelings out there. But maybe there’s not a whole lot of money in it. Which I’m not saying that for the Biden’s, sorry.
Alright. Going around the wheel here. What you love goes into what the world needs. So, beyond the mission and your vocation you have excitement and complacency, right? But there is that sense of uncertainty. Because you’re not necessarily doing something that at. Like you might be doing something that you’re adequate at but it’s not something that’s really going to pull you into it. That’s going to make you feel fully alive. Finally, we have what you can get paid for which is of course the vocation and the profession but it might not be what you love. So, it’s comfortable but there might be that feeling of emptiness. You might feel vacant. You might feel hollow because there’s just that passion that’s lacking in your life. But if you actually do have this beautiful overlap of all of these concentric circles, then that geeky guy and that’s the concept that we’re going with here as far as a different interpretation of the 8th voice or finding your unique voice, the 8th habit by Stephen Covey. Back to you Lance.
Lance: No. Go up to that you know what you got stuff up on the board. I’m curious about. What’s the what’s up I’m written in the right-hand corner there.
Carl: That one.
Lance: It says, the delight. What is that?
Carl: Delight and fullness but no wealth. And so that’s if you’re doing what you love but it’s not what you can get paid for. So, what you love, what you’re good at, and what the world needs but you’re not getting money for it. So, you’re going to have delay and fullness and you’re going to feel like yeah this is important but you’re not getting paid for it, you’re not getting compensated for it. So, that’s number two over on the top right. On the top left, we have satisfaction but feeling of uselessness that’s what you’re good at what you love and what you can get paid for but not something that the world necessarily needs right now. Number four is what you’re good at what you can get paid for and what the world needs but not necessarily something that you love. So, it’s comfortable but again you get that that vacant feeling inside it’s like, I don’t really care. This doesn’t really affect me or in a positive way or even a negative way. You can be complacent.
Some people say the opposite of love is indifference. It’s not hate, because that exist on a continuum. So, if you’re removing the continuum entirely, that’s indifference and a lot of people are there. Stuck in a dead-end nine to 5, nowhere, no upward momentum job and so they feel hollow. They feel like they’re missing out on a huge quadrant of their life and they really are.
Lance: And it’s so cool. So, I don’t have the lavalier on. So, what I want you to do is underneath the word passions up there, put the word, write the word gifts. I’m sorry, underneath the word profession. Put gifts, write “gifts”, and underneath the word vocation put “possibilities”. And underneath the word mission put “values”. Now, folks, this is really, this is like the world I live with. I want you to bear with me for a second. You see that there’s four circles. The circle of what you’re good at, what you really can excel at is where your passion and your gifts are involved. That means, if you could be doing what you love to do and you’re gifted at it while you and you’re good at it. You’ve got, you’re finding out what you’re really great at. Pay attention to this. Some of you are good at your gifts are and it’s you really under what your gifts are. Some people are naturally empathetic. They can feel what other people feel. That makes you an excellent coach, counselor, even a sales person because you can sense what other people feel.
My daughter Joy has like a supernatural empathy gift. It’s an emotional intelligence skill. She could see, daddy, are you upset? It’s like, oh my gosh. If I have any, if I’m not in in in a healthy state, she could pick it up. Now, but don’t come back Carl. Why I want you to go over there? Because.
Carl: Get back to yourself.
Lance: You are my hands my son. You are my hands right now. Go back to the board mister producer and you see where it says mission. Your values shape what you feel your life mission is. So, my wife Annabelle she values single mothers. She values family. It’s all about the Family Mountain. It’s about the children. And so, mission has to do with where your values are. Now if you go back to the illustration producer, the mission and values is over there with what the world needs. Your sense of what your values are is connecting you to something that the world needs. But a vocation which is part of that circle, that third circle there. your vocation has lots of possibilities in terms of a something you could be feel a calling for. It’s different than a profession. A profession is where your gifts are as an accountant or a lawyer or a writer or a blogger or a photographer, but your vocation is where the possibilities draw you. And when you look at your sense of vision for values and mission and what’s possible, you’re beginning to explore something the world needs.
Now, looking at the world of possibilities in that fourth circle there, when you look at possibilities and gifts, you can begin to discover ways you can get paid to do things you’re not doing now. And that’s where the entrepreneur comes in where you find that I’m really gifted at analyzing stuff and there’s possibilities of me training people. That’s what you can get paid to do and then what you really love look at that love thing up there. That’s when your passion what I really love to do ties in with what I really care about. That’s important and that’s your values. To me, this is a very powerful which is why I want to Carl showed it to me and I said, we’ve got to talk to people about this. The lower right-hand corner has the word “excitement”. Carl, what is it what do you have down there?
Carl: Excitement and complacency, but sense of uncertainty.
Lance: Why do you have complacency and sense of uncertainty if you’re living just in that third quadrant in that third circle?
Carl: Well because you’re not necessarily good at it.
Lance: You’re not necessarily doing what you’re best at.
Carl: Right.
Lance: So, there’s this feeling that you’re not nailing it. You’re not making a niche. You’re not nailing the thing that you’re capable of doing. And in the middle, he’s saying there’s this ikigai, this Japanese word for where it integrates itself. And this really goes together in this convergence teaching that I’m talking about where God is calling you to be clear about what you care about, what you value, what you can be possibly able to do with the gifts God gave you in the areas that you really do care about and excel in. There’re new opportunities that are going to be coming in the new economy. Mercedes, you’ve been looking at this and I’m really excited about it because if we don’t run in fear from what computers can do now with information. It’s possible that someone that has a gift for entrepreneurial things that never made any money can start to use the technology in a possibility of a vocation. Where they could tie it into something they really do care about and it literally becomes like a mission for them and it ties things together.
Mercedes: Yeah.
Lance: How’s that possible? Because I’m encouraging to work on a course that is going to include a Just give me a 2-minute summary of what’s possible from a millennial perspective in this model with the new tools we have for accelerating a business.
Mercedes: Yeah, definitely. So, some of the things Lance is talking about is really what’s being done with AI technology and there is a really big caution with it and what’s so unique about this new technology is so fast. It’s really, really great and it’s really, really dangerous. Like with the internet, we had a ramp up. With cellphones, we’ve had a ramp up. With AI, there’s really powerful great things about it. There are really big warning signs too. Some of the stuff you talked about earlier, because I think that’s first. That’s on everybody’s mind is it dangerous. So, I want to say yes but I also want to say it does really powerful things. So, like you talked about earlier, you can now create photos that look exactly like you or me, popular people, people with internet content out there and you could put them in any situation want them to be in like you said with Trump and Melania. I don’t know if you saw the one with the Pope and then like all these like big puffy jackets and like somebody like totally branded him in a really different way to the point where people thought that that he was really wearing clothes like that. It’s so photo realistic. Now, put it with speech recognition technology.
I showed Lance one the other day and we’re probably going to start using it with our products, but it does this amazing thing where within 3 to 5 minutes, you can create an AI voice that sounds exactly like you. Now, imagine being an influencer. Imagine being all the content that’s out there with Lance or with me or whomever your favorite celebrity or television preacher is, you can upload it and make them say anything you want them to say. So, we live in a world and I wanted to underline it and not only can you do that. This is a thing; Lance was excited about is that you could make an audio dub and we’re thinking about taking some of your teachings. Like this course, Level 10 Living and dubbing it in Spanish or German.
Lance: It’s my voice in Spanish or in Portuguese for the Brazilians.
Mercedes: And it sounds like you.
Lance: I can finally reach my people without an interpreter.
Mercedes: Exactly.
Lance: So, it’ll translate.
Mercedes: Yeah, and that’s called 11 Labs. There’re other really cool things. Like and these are just a handful but one that I’ve been looking at takes a long form broadcast like this and it can pick out what it thinks are going to be the most viral clips based off the transcript. It’ll grab that clip, create for you the story version, the short story version for like Instagram and YouTube and TikTok wherever you’re uploading it and it also puts the lower thirds on there like you see in the viral videos and it does it like this. I mean that and that’s just three. I mean that’s just, it’s remarkable. So, but the big caution is yet, let me say this. I think the big opportunity is we’re moving into what I want to call the creator economy. That I think that we are made in the image of a God and we are happiest. We are all happiest when we’re creating. Whether you’re creating a product, a drug vaccine, a song. We are happiest when we’re and I say a drug, I mean like a medical drug not like a bad drug but you’re happiest when you’re creating.
So, this AI technology allows you to create websites in an instant. It creates front-end design for apps in an instant and there’s all these different applications out there now powered by AI that you would have to pay a team 20, 30, 40, 50,000 dollars to build out something you can now do instantly and it’s only going to get more powerful. So, it’s a mixed bag list.
Lance: Are you interested in this? I want you to write down in your comments on YouTube, on Facebook, on all the various platforms we’re on Rumble. Can you write comments on Rumble?
Mercedes: Yeah, I got comments on.
Lance: ‘m interested. If you’re interested in that and remember again, it’s “level10living.com”. Use the promo code “Podcast”. You can get the digital e-course. You can get the physical, Your Ultimate Life Strategy manual here and what it will do is it will start you off getting the language of this integrated model of how you can create the world that you want. You don’t have to live in the world being created for you by other people’s anxiety and agitation. I want you to have this helmet on your head in the days to come and perhaps I guess we can’t give them the I was going to do a bonus thing here.
Mercedes: No, I haven’t even done this course yet. Like I’ve just been telling about all these cool sites and I’m like hey I think I want to do this course. I want to talk about the dangers. I want to talk about the opportunities. In my opinion it’s like a lot of things. It’s like money. It’s like the internet. It’s good impact.
Lance: Oliver Wendell Holmes said, don’t die with the music still in you. You’ve got music. You’ve got a song to sing. You have a story to tell. You have a book to write. There are tools that are going to help you accelerate the journey and I think “Level10Living.com” with the promo code podcast. That’s a great way to start in terms of really living the integrated life and creating the mindset where the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit because they were creating a whole new culture and a whole new world and even if it’s stirred up opposition, they were building a community and that’s where this is going to go. We’re going to become content creators and I think we’re going to make a massive difference. “Level10Living.com” promo code “Podcast”. Carl, thank you for sharing. You can come back over here, son.
Mercedes: Lots of great comments, Carl. Lots of people saying that really blessed them, really help them. They really needed that.
Lance: You got any questions for Carl? Well, before we go off the air, we’re 6 minutes over but I want to give his any questions. Get him in there now. He’s a great coach, helps people find their voice and get their out. That’s the thing he’s focusing on these days and the secret sauce to me that he said tonight was let your curiosity. Don’t lose the childlike sense of wonder. It’s something interest you. You’re never too old. The nice thing about people that are older is they have more time on their hands. It’s not the time to retire. It’s the time to say what do I wish I could have done that I never got to do because the technology is there right now. The freedom is there right now. The opportunity is there and don’t let the fear of technology become like for me drums in the sanctuary, the 1980s. I remember electric guitars and drums and churches were having a battle. Should we have drums in the sanctuary? Well, we ended up with drums in the sanctuary and guess what? We didn’t end up all becoming Ozzy Osborne. So, don’t be afraid of the technology. Make it serve you.
Mercedes: How to say this? I’ll have it ready for the Dream Trip. So, I’ll talk, how about that? I’ll do it at the dream trip. I’ll have the course ready. Well, we could do it then.
Lance: And so those are.
Mercedes: I need some time. We got a lot going on between all.
Lance: Alright, so the gents and so be looking for that link. It’s going to be coming out. For those of you at home, you can get that course is going to be done live. We’re going to do a data dump on us there at the Dream Trip. And Carl, you’re also going to be talking about we have a, I don’t want to overload people with too much information but we’re going to be doing a one day. You and me working with an express group, a small group of people, maybe 10 maximum. One day with the two of us and we’re going to be working on the work of leader which is peak performance with data. Analyzing you in like 20 areas to see where you are falling short and where you’re strong in terms of being able to shape the world that you want, the characteristics of powerful leaders, powerful business leaders, powerful entrepreneurs, and also be looking at constraints. Why are the constraints important while before we close off?
Carl: Well, the chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And any strength over exerted is a weakness. So, the constraint is the bottleneck that prevents any and all further flow from happening. It’s critical.
Lance: Right. So, a strength overextended which is a gift. Used inappropriately used too much actually becomes a weakness. It’s like the person who’s good at talking and they don’t know when to stop talking and sell or even when to just be quiet. Why you guys laughing at Why you laughing? Yeah, I know. Because you think my strength is over extended sometimes by interrupting you guys, but this is my show. I get to interrupt myself.
Mercedes: Totally. Hey you know the other thing you have to talk about? And not now. But maybe in a broadcast tomorrow is the devolution like post that you…
Lance: Oh, the QAnon theory.
Mercedes: Have you been reading the comments on that? Did you read them this morning?
Lance: Am I getting comments?
Mercedes: Oh, my goodness. Yeah.
Lance: Oh, am I offending the A Anon?
Mercedes: Lance, they love you but you’re missing it on this.
Lance: They love me, I’m missing it on this. I miss because Trump is actually still running the country through his secret zone military alliances. Well, somebody needs to tell that to the economy because it does look like it’s a Trump economy or a Trump border right now.
Mercedes: Yeah.
Lance: Don’t get me going. You know what?
Carl: Why’d you get them going?
Mercedes: They see. One day they see.
Lance: I got the JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY.
Mercedes: Where?
Lance: Thank you.
Carl: Where?
Lance: Oh, you can’t hear me because I’m not miced up.
Carl: Yeah.
Mercedes: I know you’re not miced up.
Lance: Down in my heart. I got the JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY.
Carl: Alright. So happy. Thanks for coming everybody.
Lance: Jesus in my heart, I got the Joy.
Carl: Where?
