68: Don’t Let Your Business Consume You- Lessons from a Near Death Experience

Behind Their Success: Ep 68

Paden: Tino

Tino: [00:00:00] I was taken into the ICU, right away because my vitals were really bad in there.

They told me that, I got to call my family, say goodbye. And the priest, read me my last rites

because, my vitals were so bad. I was put on an ECMO and, I looked at the doctor and said,

well,hold on. What's happening here? And he said, we don't know. I just, it's not looking good.

And,please, uh, say goodbye and, you know, make your peace. And that, I'm telling you, is a

message you don't need. You don't want to hear and, and I'm saying you don't need that

message to be the message

Paden: Hello everybody. Welcome to behind their success podcast. Today, we are joined by

Tino Dietrich. He is a multiple Inc 500 entrepreneur, certified mind Valley coach, and soon to be

author. Who's on a mission to help high achievers reclaim their lives after building global

businesses and facing life [00:01:00] altering setbacks.

Tino now guides leaders in mastering resilience, redefining success. And turning their

relationships into true partnerships. Tino, welcome on Behind Their Success. Hello, and thank

you for having me. Yeah, absolutely, Tino. So tell us, about what you do.

Tino: today, my main purpose is really to, help, entrepreneurs, business owners, high achievers,

whoever that might be. People who have a hard time balancing what I call, life and work, even

though I do not believe in that term, but maybe we'll come to that later.

Most people, still on that train, try and balance that.in terms of work and home. And,that's what I

do. I help people to, build homes and not only houses.and, literally, coach them, in situations

that I've been, I would say, way too many times, in myself.

Paden: Yeah, that's amazing.

So you're talking [00:02:00] about,obviously massive struggle for entrepreneurs, that, that kind

of balance. And I'm with you there. I'm not a belief. I hate when I hear that term work life

balance, it's really my philosophy and approach is really around. Okay, let's like build a holistic

life here.

not one that, we're trying to balance all these conflicting things. tell us, a little bit about that

process or how, yeah. a little bit high level how you do that or how you help people through that.

Tino: So in general, my take on things is that,a good coach, a good advisor is not going to tell

you necessarily what to do, but how to do it.

So that means that I'm not there to literally tell you how things should be and what you do in

order to, put it there. So to say to, to transform your life,because that's really up to you. And

most people go okay, what does that mean? So I give you an example. If you ask people, to tell

you what they really want, they come up with a first version [00:03:00] and then you start digging

and there's the five wise, the seven wise, if you heard about that method, but if you dig deeper.

People begin to realize that their first answer may not be really what they're looking for. That's

why we call it the true marriage, the true relationship. So that's the first step. The first step is to

really understand what it is that you define as happiness, as success. In business, you know, we

got numbers, KPIs, data driven decisions that we make every day.

Just because we are clear and we have a plan and we have clarity and if it's not on that plan,

you know We're going to bring things back to that plan. So in life that unfortunately is not

necessarily the case

Paden: I think you're right. I think the first step is definitely understanding yourself, right?

The, what you want and [00:04:00] becoming really, as self aware as possible. and then from

there you can really figure out what you want. And it's amazing,as a guy that considers himself

very much into self development and whatnot.there's like layers to this right of getting clarity and

getting your goals and and as I keep getting deeper and deeper down in those layers, I realize,

man, I've never been this clear in my life of what exactly I'm doing, what exactly I want.

And, it's amazing the level of confidence you get from that. And then the, also the levels of

anxiety that come down, when you absolutely know where you're heading.

Tino: and that's one of the reasons why people who are. Business owners, entrepreneurs,

people who get, shit done, so to say in, they don't want that because in, in that role, you got to

be a leader, right?

and, you almost like a machine, you function and, anything that, puts that into a state where you

begin to question [00:05:00] yourself, is a threat. And, the natural reaction is to eliminate that

threat, which is to ignore it. the issue is that you're not alone in that process.

You, you think you are, but you may have a partner, at home, kids, dogs, cats and goldfish. so

everybody in that home environment, in that house environment is involved, right? and, they

may react.and react to, your behavior, in a way that you don't understand because you never

really thought about it.

Paden: the cool thing is I, I found myself in groups and stuff over the last few years where are

really, of course, are, we're all business owners and whatnot. And that is, I'd say what initially

brought us all together. we recognize that life is a holistic thing and entrepreneurs can be really

good, the really successful ones can be really good at bringing that massive level of

intentionality right to their business.

And they have all these clear thought out plans. [00:06:00] And then once again, their home life

is just a complete disaster, right? Because there is no level of intentionality there whatsoever.

That is just kind of chaos. Yep. Yep. They're not trying to design that

Tino: to any to a certain degree. What happens is you go those are the things that I hear often

is when people said Hey, I'm doing everything I can.

and, uh, what else I work my fingers through the bone, I'm the life I'm offering, and when you

then ask and say, but have you actually ever asked anyone that, you cater to was all what you

do was all that you give. If that's really what they want and they go like, what do you mean

another car and I go no, maybe one car less and something else.

And it's not about, money and material and the bigger home and the bigger house and this and

that it is way more complicated. and, people, we enter this, [00:07:00] thing called marriage or

partnership, whatever you want to call it, whatever, however you define it. And then life kicks

inand many people say like, well, and then life happened to me.

And I say,no. life happens for you. And if you do not understand that, and if you continue to

blame business for you not being able to dedicate time to the people who matter most to you,

then what you do also is that you literally put all that blame shame on business, right? Which

means that the kids look at your business as that's what's taking my dad away from me.

That's what's consuming. That's what makes him You know, put him in a bad mood. I've had all

that. I heard my kids say, Hey, I can't change that. You had a bad day at the office.

Paden: Yeah, and especially when you bring, Oh, gosh. Yeah, especially bring kids into that. it's,

it's, I have three young kids.

I got two daughters and a son, like 8, 7, 5 years old. And, my daughter, [00:08:00] my oldest

daughter, I'm gonna talk about her. My oldest daughter last year, you know, I'm a CPA by trade.

My oldest daughter drew like a picture and it said like tax season. I had a bunch of sad faces

and you know, it's understanding that like, yeah, my daughter doesn't care about business or the

money or the life I provide.

She wants her dad and,and understanding that, Is very important. and like I said, it's, I've seen it

time and time again of entrepreneurs that built very successful businesses. And they realize

when they get the end of it that they don't have a family and they're, they regret decisions

they've made.

and then they end up in some situations even hating the business they built because it took

Tino: everything away from them. Yeah, but that is my point. And, look, I would say when I look

back and this is the. I'd say you ask me, why do I do what I do and what do I do? and I say, I

help people who are in situations that I've been into.

And I've been into [00:09:00] several absolutely disastrous situations. personally and

professionally. I do believe that, that puts me into a spot where I at least understand. I at least

understand. And for me, for example. The signs that were given to me, I ignored them. I literally,

it's, I was like a kid that closes the eyes and say, okay, 1, 2, 3, now you can see me, you can

find me, right?

Yeah, not

Paden: a problem, not a problem.

Tino: Exactly, and you're like,

and then, what happened to me, which was that,life altering moment, that epiphany is, in 2020. I

ended up in the ICU.I had COVID already for quite a while.all of a sudden, I had it for a few

weeks. my whole family was sick, except for my oldest son.

They all recovered and I, for some reason, I did not. And then one day I really felt bad and I got

rushed into the urgent care center. And, then they told me, I, we can't help you here. You got to

go to the [00:10:00] emergency room. And from there, things just like unfolded. And I, I told my

wife, hey, I'll be back for dinner.

we're still, COVID times, one side of the house and the rest of the family and the other side was

the plate in front of the door, and I said, I'd be back for dinner. and, I did not come back for

dinner and, I was taken into the ICU, right away because my vitals were really bad in there.

They told me that, I got to make, I got to call my family, say goodbye. And the priest, read me my

last rites because, my vitals were so bad. I was put on an ECMO and, I looked at the doctor and

said, well,hold on. What's happening here? And he said, we don't know. I just, it's not looking

good.

And, please, say goodbye and, make your peace. And that, I'm telling you, is a message you

don't need. You don't want to hearand I'm saying you don't need that message to be the

message that start, kicks off that [00:11:00] epiphany moment when you realize things have to

change. And I was, I prayed, for me, I cried and this and that, and I prayed and I said,please,

allow me to get a second chance to make a first impression.

And that is when I realized. That life is a gift. That is when I realized I have to have a purpose in

life. That is when I changed what I did to what I do today. I still run, businesses and whatnot, but

my main purpose is what I explained earlier. But I'm, all I'm saying is it doesn't need to get that

far.

and yes, there have been so many signs in my life when I look back and I say, man, I'm stupid. I

was so stupid and it's not bad talk. I'm just like, dude, come on. Like many wake up calls and

you're just like, nah, snooze. Yeah,

Paden: And it's, yeah, and it's, as tragic and, trauma, maybe that whole event would have been,

but like the gift [00:12:00] that event is in your life.

Yeah. the perspective shift that gives you. to literally look at death, right? And then life all fades

away and you realize what's important, right? and to be able to get that vision, and yeah,

hopefully, you know, me and everybody listening here, it doesn't need a life or death experience

to finally realize.

Tino: and, since that happened to me, I've talked to several people in similar situations, people

in car crashs and, it's interesting when you talk to them that all of us come to the same

conclusion and all of us, have pretty much, the same take.

on life. It doesn't matter where you came from. that post, event. Timeline looks very alike,

assuming that you got out of the situation,in a shape or form that allows you to continue your

life. There are others who are not that lucky and I spoke to some of those people too, survivors

from, who lost their legs and [00:13:00] whatnot, so I'm saying is,I think, life is a gift and, you got

to really pull the most out of it.

because it's been given to you for a reason, you may think who cares? Everybody has a life.

Yeah. But, it's all precious.

Paden: Yeah. and what, I don't know, you hear the stat or whatever, it's like one in 30 trillion or

something like you, your genetics to even exist. And that if you go back and tree and like the 10,

000 all come together and sur you have a chance

Tino: to

Paden: be l about that through those the astronomical like the chances of you even being alive

and being a person on the earth.

Yeah, let alone in today's world where you have the freedom and the ability to Really explore

and, become a unique individual. You know, it's not like you were born in the [00:14:00] 12

hundreds where you're like, , you just farm and eat and die. Right. , like, you, you have a lot of

things that allow you to really develop and becoming, your unique type of person.

and it's such a, we just take it all for granted.

Tino: Yeah. and right there, that is the problem. And you know, when I talk about that, people

are like, Ah, yeah, whatever, because it sounds like too spiritual and blah. I'm a tough guy, you

know. I run a fucking company. I make millions of dollars.

And I'm like, yeah, cool. and,because when I was in hospital, I was like, okay, so if I'm now

gone, What will everybody, how will I will be remembered? I, and I just lost my mom a few

months ago and, I, I, I look at things in a different way. I, one day, we all have to go.

that's granted. Some sooner, some later. you just gotta think about that. And if just, some people

say, I don't give a shit if I'm remembered at that asshole. okay, [00:15:00] perfect. If that's what

you want to be remembered, well, your choice, right? Life is a choice, and every choice you

make will determine the challenges you will face.

So if that's the choice you make, okay, go for it. But, a lot of people don't realize that until you

bring that, perspective to their life. And, I think, come on, like we, as dads, we About a third. I

think it's a 3. 4 or something. About a third of all children in America grow up without the

presence of a father.

I mean, think about that. I'd be surprised if it was that low. Take your kids to school. Take your

kids to school and count. One, two, three, four. Boom. Just statistics, right? I'm just quoting

numbers. Yeah. And I think that's, and we all say we want to build a good future and this and

that. Why you do what you do just to do it for yourself.

Okay. But if you say as an excuse, I'm doing all of that for my kids, I'm doing all of that for my

wife, then do a better job. [00:16:00] Yeah. or ask

Paden: them if that's what they even want.like that's the biggest thing,we say we do all this stuff

for them. But once again, have you even asked them, but that's

Tino: the point.

If you ask someone for something and trust me, my wife and I have, we're married for 26 years

and she puts on a dress and she's like, how do you like it? And I said, nah, I don't,she's wow,

you can say that in a nicer way. And I said, you asked me, I give you my honest, me.

You ask me, I will tell you. I don't sugarcoat, I don't beat around the bush. So what you just said

is, ask them What they really want. Be prepared. That's what I'm saying. Be prepared for them

answering that question, not the way you expect. Yeah.

Paden: Yeah. and also when you're asked you that question, like also giving grace too is

because okay, you initially engage with your, what do you want?

They're not necessarily even going to be able to answer that question. Right. Well, either. Right.

Right. And so, because you as an entrepreneur, you realize how hard that is to [00:17:00] figure

out what you want to do and all those different things. So you got to understand it's the same for

everybody else.

And it's a process and a partnership like you talk about. Living and exploring and figuring all that

stuff out. And then everybody's on the same team trying to create a life, that everybody agrees

is what they want.

Tino: It's funny because if you're like in consumer marketing, and you run all these tests and

you collect all the data to understand, you come up with your MVP and whatnot and you test

and it's a process as you just described, right?

And we do that. To perfection, some more, some less, but why don't we take that same

dedication and put it into our lives? Because, not that your wife is your consumer,

Paden: but you get my point.

Yeah, I

mean, it's a helpful way to think about it. it's not this, obviously we don't want to think of a

relationship with these like transaction things, but in reality, that's what they are.

It is. It is. Yeah. [00:18:00] And it's a given take and it's a serious partnership. and something

that's,and that's something I've worked on a lot in my life is really trying to just bring a level of

intentionality to everything we do. And I had a, I worked with a kind of a mental mindset kind of

coach all last year.

The first thing he said to me when I met him, cause he's also very blunt and whatnot. And then

he goes, Hey, you're just winging life. All you're doing is just winging life. You don't know what

you're doing or what you want. you have this vague idea of what you, and that has, and then of

course going and working with him and implementing a lot of these processes, I know exactly

where and exactly what I want and business, family, life, career, everything. I have my goals and

it's not like, oh, they magically happen over night. I know exactly what I want. And more

importantly, I also know the actions I need to take and how to measure them. Uh, hold myself

accountable. And so it's just a matter of time, [00:19:00] right? It's literally just a matter of time.

Tino: and,I see that way too often. there's one thing that people say, like, Oh, yeah, I'm going to

embark on that journey and, but they never show up, at the gate, Yeah.

Paden: Or they never even, you gotta take the time to really think about like. Okay.

and say, my relationship with my wife, what does winning look like? what is a win? what is

success in that relationship? Yeah. And work with your, your spouse or whatever, to decide

jointly, like what is success, for us and our relationship and our family. and it's amazing when

you get.

People on the same page and everybody starts working towards, some ideal, how quick that

can actually happen

Tino: people say like companies and I say, what does that really mean? A company is not

something on its own. It doesn't exist. We made it up. We as human beings, we construct LLC,

or the ink or whatever.

And it's people. It's really people coming together, [00:20:00] believing, in the same thing. And

the smaller the company, the more important because, I think, there's a vast majority of people

working in corporate America. And if you ask them, what is your company exactly doing and why

they don't really have a full answer to that, right?

They may have an idea. when you break that down to that little ink called a family ink. you better

make sure that, each member of that company is on the same page.

Paden: Yeah. and that's, yeah, that's the most important one and the one that affects, every

other area, like every other area of your life, we'd like as humans like to pretend that like we can

compartmentalize that we can have a great business, bad family or vice versa or whatever, but

everything affects everything.

nothing in your life is isolated from anything else.

Tino: I agree. however, if you have issues in your company, in your professional, part of life, the

one at home is going to help you to weather that storm. [00:21:00] Vice versa, not so much. She

goes to the office and, you have a very important meeting with a very important client, you can't

go in there and say, Hey, had so much stress with my daughter this morning, as a 12 year old

and it's so tough.

They go okay, can we get, can we get all of it? Who cares? I got kids myself. Deal with this,

Paden: and that's true. And that's what, the other thing that's once again, really, it spurred a lot

of my growth the last few years is the community like that.

The community of other entrepreneurs that are in very similar situations as me, growing

businesses and have young families and all everything that goes along with that. But we can,

we can, I'm around people that I respect and respect their values and we can relate on. a lot of

stuff, right?

and all we're doing there is holding each other accountable and Like we tell each other what we

wanted to do. And then we watch each other and if the actions don't align, we'll say, Hey, That's

not what you said you wanted to do. And and that's been amazing for me.

that, [00:22:00] that level of accountability and people that are, like, literally just on the sidelines

watching me, rooting me on and trying to, help me in any way possible. And me for them as

well.

Are you looking for a new tax experience? Looking for an advisor that actually brings you high

level ideas and proactively plans so you aren't overpaying your taxes? Or how about one that

even just responds and communicates in a timely fashion? If any of that resonates with you, you

probably just have a tax preparer and not a tax planner.

Speaker: And it is through the tax planning process where all the value is found. I'm Peyton

Squires. I'm a CPA and owner of WR Tax Planners. We work alongside entrepreneurs and high

income earners, helping them pay the least amount of income taxes, both legally and ethically.

We have saved our clients hundreds of thousands of dollars through specific strategies, and we

guarantee we can find multiple tax saving strategies that your current tax preparer hasn't told

you about.

If that interests you, head on over to the contact page at paydensquires. com. [00:23:00] There

you can fill out a contact form and get a call book to see what it would look like to have WR tax

planners on your team.

Tino:

Paden: So Tina, man, like, what would you say is some of the most rewarding, like rewarding

experiences?

it seems like you've found your purpose or, this seems very fulfilling to you

Tino: When you, realize, I said it before that, you can make life happen for you rather than, it is

happening to you, you understand that, and you mentioned that before, and I agree 110%, life,

in all these different facets around you like a universe, has all these different angles and

aspects.

and if the stars begin to align for you and you get that clarity about what you do, who you are,

everything begins to make sense.

very satisfying in some [00:24:00] people are successful and if you ask them why and they can

tell you why, they do not have that complete satisfaction because they it's almost asking

someone. Hey. you won the lottery. How did you do that? can I really, can I not also win the

lottery? And what they will say is I just made those crosses at the right, you know, that's it.

And that's not what we do. we are here and everything we do, we should do for a reason. And

only if you understand how to get from A to B. And what A is and where you are and, why do you

want to go to B and all these things. Then the journey from A to B becomes very satisfying

because everything is an experience and you enjoy, you enjoy that very much.

If that answers your question.

Paden: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's great. And it is amazing how like. How much humans like,

[00:25:00] winning games or setting up journeys and how satisfying progress is and like, it

doesn't even matter what the progress is. We can make up whatever game we want to make up,

set whatever goals we want to set and then set, set actions and, even many goals along the

way.

And once again, it doesn't even matter what it is. It just, it's gotta be like rewarding to you and.

Amazing. When you find things like that and can set processes up like that in your life, how

satisfying everything feels because you can measure you're measuring. I don't know if you ever

read the book, the gap in the game.

Fantastic book, Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan, but they're talking about,we're entrepreneurs

are very unsatisfied as they're always measuring to the future. They're always measuring the

gap between where they are and where they want to be. And, obviously that's pretty

unsatisfying, right?

Because that you can never close that because that is always at the horizon that always

continues to move, right? [00:26:00] Like you're always going to want to try to make things

better.it's measuring the gain. it's measuring backwards. . They always talk about, always

measure back. 'cause then you can see the progress you have made and the massive gains

you've made in different areas and how satisfying that is and how that is evidence to say you

can keep doing it.

Right. You can keep getting these big gains in your life because you've done it before. Like you

never thought you could have got to this point, 10 years ago or whatever. And it's just

understanding that we're humans. And, you got to understand how to trick ourselves into being

happy a little bit.

Tino: It's, it is interesting what you just said, because,I do believe that there's a one stage

missing, which is the present. So you can look backwards and you can look into the future.

however, that moment today right now, and I, learned that too, is the chance to be, very

thankful,for what you have.

Of course that's in [00:27:00] the past, but also thankful for the opportunities that lie ahead of

you. And you have three kids, and I'm pretty sure that people have told you, Oh, enjoy. They

grew up so fast and, uh, I have three kids myself, 24, 21, uh, 17, and yes, they grow up very

fast. I mean, the truth is they don't grow up faster than anybody else and time's not running

faster.

But what you do not enjoy is that present moment. And then you look back and you say, I should

have, but you can't, you cannot travel back in time. Not yet. Maybe one day we can. you can't

and that is where I'm coming from. Because again, every choice we make will determine the

challenge we face.

Paden: Yeah. And it's, it's really interesting and knowing more and more about brain science

and different things that like when you talk about, being in the present, the presence, the only

thing is [00:28:00] real, right? Like your future you're thinking about is totally made up in your

head, right?

Like you have no idea. Yes. your past, the more and more we learn about the brain. We're really

making most of that up too.

Because every time, like we recall a memory. we damage that memory a little bit, like call the

memory. We damage it and it goes back into our memory and every time we recall a memory it's

different and we don't think it's different or don't even understand that we do that. . So really

most of our pass that absolutely drives everything we do is made up in our head and you can go

back and do a lot of the work and just change the story to a story that serves you.

And it's going to propel you a lot further, but people don't realize it's really just all made up

Tino: in your head. that, that is, to, to that extent, people, when they talk about fear, it's

something that people most of the times tell themselves. And I say, it's a future events appearing

real, or false events [00:29:00] appearing real, because it hasn't really happened and why you

really fear that.

And I keep telling that to my kids because, children are. When they enter the next stage or they

go to college or this or that, Oh, what if, what if, and I say, but what if this, you always look at

that, but what if it's not, so chances are that it could be that way or this way.

try and, look at everything in, in, in a holistic approach.

Paden: Yeah. And life's all probabilities, right? everything has like a chance of occurring and, we

can't control that, but you look out in the future, make your kind of best prediction and. roll the

dice.

That's, that's life.

Tino: But, um, it's, it's something that I also, it's a big part of what I do too, is really to

understand and peel off the layers of values and beliefs that we were told, right? You set the

memory and part of what you experience, also what you recall is based on what people tell you.

this is how it has to be, if you look back to the 1800s, [00:30:00] they clearly had different

understandings of different situations than we do today.

I, treat that with caution and,people, yeah, for some people, it's super more comfortable to stay

in that state, and not question the status quo.

Paden: Yeah, it's the red, red pill, blue pill thing, right, when it comes down to it, you know, and

that's a, that's why I, you know, The Matrix has become one of my favorite movies of all time,

just because Like, it's amazing how much of that just speaks to human experience, and it's

almost like a documentary in my point of like, that's really how the brain works, you know, it's

been, and people understand it, they see it as a story, but it's, man, it's such reality, the world is

really just made up of whatever you say it is.

and what, you get what you want for

Tino: it, right? it's flat out. and happiness is a choice, you know,you choose. And, when people

are like, Oh, I really feel like this and this. And I said, I can, I honestly, there's nothing I can do

about, changing how you [00:31:00] feel because whatever I just said.

Wasn't meant, that way and if you take it and I say sometimes when you wake up in the morning

and the first thing you do is spill the coffee over your shirt after you got dressed and you know,

you're already in a bad mood, you rush to the meeting, you're already like late and this and that,

it all sets your state of mind, right?

And there's nothing people in that room can do to change that because you are in that state of

mind, unless you take a deep breath, you go in there, clear screen and take a fresh perspective.

Paden: Yeah, it's, and it's just habits, right? Like, you know, people get triggered by things and

they'll have this constant negative experiences all the time and they realize that they don't

realize it.

It's it's a choice they make every single day, but they have these outside circumstances that

they, they point to. but it, yeah, it's just your perception of what's happening. it is whatever you

tell yourself is what I say. Yeah, it's like nothing is good or bad.

Just thinking it makes it

Tino: yeah. [00:32:00] That helps to get through difficult moments as well because That's where

you can give yourself like a reality check.

Paden: Yeah, that's great stuff. So, one more question for you. what, you know, for those, that,

that busy entrepreneur that's listening here, right?

and, you know, he or she is sitting there thinking, man, yeah, my, my whole life needs a

checkup. I want to bring an intentionality to that. what's one piece of advice you'd give to

somebody? like, hey, here's where I'd start. here's something you can just start doing now.

Tino: I would make it super simple and say, stop, just stop for a moment.

And then begin to understand, slowly but surely, who you are and where you are. Look around.

And I don't mean that, in, in But we're running and running and running and running.

And,chasing and chasing and, That's an advice where I say, because I was forced to stop, right?

[00:33:00]

And I don't think that you need to be in that situation to do the same thing that I was forced to

do. Just do it before it's too late.and, just one last thing, there was a study, one of the longest

studies ever conducted by Harvard University about happiness and, uh, 80 years plus, a lot of

people died during the study, but long story short, it was the relationships in people's lives that

determined the happiness.

And,if you want to call someone, do it. You know, don't say tomorrow, don't say, and I'll fix this

one more and next week we do this, honey, and that do it. Use the present moment. Stop right

now, right now, whatever it is that you're doing, take a minute or two to just think about that and

make it a habit.

That is an advice I'll give right now because. Maybe tomorrow. I can't give that advice [00:34:00]

anymore.

Paden: That's great stuff. and, um, you know, I've been lucky enough to have been around

people in my past that have given me that advice and, something that I've gotten better and

better at implementing, having, really just like a thinking space a couple times a week, where it's

like me and a notepad of paper in 30 minutes and no agenda whatsoever, and it's just to stop

and slow down.

And it's amazing what comes to your consciousness at that point of things that you want to do or

need to do, or ideas, creativeness that kind of pops in there because you've actually stopped

long enough to check in. With yourself and everything that's going on.

Tino: Yeah, I'm concerned when I hear, people reacting to it and saying, yeah, I'm, that's not for

me and, because it's, considered weak or, stop that mumbo bumbo, a bullshit just ego.

Yeah. And I say, look, I think, you know, if you're really that tough, then overcome [00:35:00]

yourself and do it. It seems you're not that tough. It seems that you're hiding behind your,gorilla

line, and yell at people. And, though you're the strongest ape in the jungle, who gives a shit,

excuse my French, but that's exactly what it is.

This is your life. Not mine. You do whatever you want,

Paden: man. That's great. That's great stuff. Tino. what's the best way they can connect with

you and get to know more about you?

Tino: Yeah,if we, for this podcast we have, a special landing page so you can find out more

about us, about me, and it's uh, dietrich institute.com.

forward slash, uh, P S and, that again is Dietrich spelled like my name, diet, rich and institute.

Paden: Awesome, Tino. Anything, uh, you want to leave for the listeners before we go?

Tino: I want to thank everyone for listening to me.

want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to be here. because [00:36:00] again, it took

away from the presence, and, I wish everyone a great journey.
