Elevate Your Game

****You spoke and we listened. You said that the background music was a distraction, so we will no longer use it. Be sure to let us know what you think.****

We return after a short pause with clarity from Lake Tahoe and Paris, answering listener questions on calm, success, money, ownership, advice, and rest. The thread is simple: protect peace, choose your circle, slow down your money, and build for longevity.

• why calm is earned through experience
• success reshaping social volume and focus
• choosing a circle that adds clarity
• slow wealth versus fast money traps
• shifting from worker to owner mindset
• why authenticity invites honest questions
• travel as a tool for money perspective
• resting without guilt to protect performance
• living now and valuing moments over applause

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.879
Welcome back to Let Me Pull Your Coat.

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:07.759
If you have been wondering where we have been, let us start with honesty.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:09.279
We missed you.

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:11.279
We missed the subscribers.

00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.119
We missed the routine.

00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:20.719
We missed the messages that come in from people all over the world who treat this space like a quiet place to think.

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.039
We took a rare pause.

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.960
Lake Tahoe first, then Paris, France.

00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:34.240
Not to disappear, but to step back long enough to remember why this platform exists in the first place.

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.399
And even while we were away, the questions did not stop.

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:45.119
In fact, they followed us across borders, sidewalks, cafes, and dinner tables.

00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.880
Some of you recognized us, some of you spoke.

00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.200
Some of you just watched quietly and sent messages later.

00:00:53.439 --> 00:01:07.040
Either way, we felt you.com, subscribe, leave a voicemail, send your question.

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:13.040
This show is built on real people asking real questions, not algorithms.

00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.599
Now, let's get into it.

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.920
First, we have Daniel from London, England.

00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.959
Daniel asks, I saw you in Paris near Saint Germain.

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.599
You looked calm and unbothered.

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.560
How do you maintain that energy when your past has not been easy?

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.640
That calm comes from experience, not comfort.

00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.280
It's earned, not performed.

00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:46.879
When you have survived instability, chaos, and loss, you stop reacting to every small disruption.

00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.239
You learn discernment, you learn patience.

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:54.799
Real calm is knowing that no moment defines you permanently.

00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:02.959
It's understanding that pressure passes, trends fade, and opinions move on, but your foundation stays.

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.280
Next is Sophia from Paris, France.

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:14.000
Sophia asks, Does success ever feel lonely, even when people admire you?

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.240
Yes, often.

00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.599
Success changes the volume of your life.

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.840
Some voices get louder, many disappear entirely.

00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.199
Loneliness doesn't always mean isolation.

00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.400
Sometimes it means fewer distractions.

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.039
And while that can feel heavy, it's also where clarity grows.

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.639
Not everyone is meant to walk every season with you.

00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.439
Now we have Marcus from Lake Tahoe, California.

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.759
Marcus asks, I saw your group at dinner.

00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:49.680
Everyone seemed aligned.

00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.639
How important is choosing the right people?

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:54.879
It's critical.

00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:01.599
Your circle determines your stress level, your focus, and your future more than most people admit.

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.120
The wrong people don't always betray you loudly.

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.319
Sometimes they just quietly drain momentum.

00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:17.520
If you're constantly explaining yourself, managing emotions, or fixing misunderstandings, you're not building, you're babysitting.

00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.599
Choose people who add clarity, not confusion.

00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.319
Next is Nicolas from Paris, France.

00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.960
Nicolas asks, You speak about money with restraint.

00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.039
What financial mistake do you see people making most often?

00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:36.719
They rush.

00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:41.120
People chase fast money without understanding slow wealth.

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.680
They spend before they stabilize.

00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.199
They invest emotionally instead of strategically.

00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:51.680
Money requires discipline long before it rewards confidence.

00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:58.560
If you can't manage small, consistent wins, large sums will only magnify bad habits.

00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.199
Now we hear from Elena in Milan, Italy.

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:10.479
Elena asks, When did you know it was time to think like a business owner instead of just a worker?

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.840
When efforts stopped matching reward.

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:24.800
Business ownership begins when you realize your time has value beyond hourly exchange, when you start asking where the money flows, not just where it lands.

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.959
Ownership is not glamour.

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:33.360
It's responsibility, risk, and long-term thinking when short-term comfort is tempting.

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.920
Next is Amelie from Leon France.

00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:44.399
Amelie asks, why do strangers feel comfortable asking you for advice in public?

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.160
Because authenticity invites honesty.

00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:52.480
When people sense that you're not selling an image, they lower their guard.

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:57.519
Advice is not about sounding wise, it's about listening without judgment.

00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.120
People rarely want answers, they want clarity.

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.920
Now we have Jamal from Chicago, USA.

00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:12.720
Jamal asks, Seeing you overseas made me want to think bigger financially.

00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.600
How do you expand your money mindset?

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.480
By changing your environment.

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.480
Travel shows you how money moves differently in different places.

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.639
It breaks the illusion that your current ceiling is universal.

00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:33.199
Once you see multiple systems, currencies, and lifestyles, your thinking stretches naturally.

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.240
Perspective is a financial asset.

00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.720
Next is Nadia from Toronto, Canada.

00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:47.040
Nadia asks, how do you step away from work without guilt when people depend on you?

00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.120
By understanding that rest protects performance.

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.279
Burnout doesn't serve anyone.

00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:57.279
If you collapse, everything tied to you stalls.

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.199
Stepping away is not abandonment, it's maintenance.

00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.040
Strong leadership includes knowing when to pause.

00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.240
Last question comes from Aisha in Dubai UAE.

00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:15.519
Aisha asks, what did this trip change inside you?

00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:26.720
It reminded us that life is happening now, not after the next goal, not after the next acquisition, not after approval, now.

00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.879
And moments missed never return with interest.

00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.240
Here's this week's coat poll and listen closely.

00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.399
If people recognize your spirit before they know your name, you're doing something right.

00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.000
Protect that.

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.000
Stop explaining yourself to people who never listen.

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:56.079
Stop rushing your life to impress spectators, and stop apologizing for rest, boundaries, or silence.

00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.959
You are not required to be accessible at the cost of your peace.

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:08.480
You are not obligated to perform strength every day, and you don't owe anyone constant availability.

00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:17.600
Move with intention, build with patience, and remember, longevity always outlasts applause.

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:27.199
Shout out to our listeners across France, Italy, Canada, the UK, Dubai, and back home in the States.

00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:32.079
Shout out to those who recognized us quietly and respected space.

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.959
And a special thank you to the subscribers who held us down while we were away.

00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:38.560
We felt that.

00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:40.560
We're back.

00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.319
The inbox is open.

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.720
The conversations continue.

00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:04.319
Until next time, much love and much respect.
