Please remove redundancies and erroneous conversation from this video transcript. Keep all statements of principles, overarching concepts and explanations in words that closely resemble the original. I want for a high school student to read and relate to the content about finding purpose through the principles applied to their life.
TRANSCRIPT: yeah we're gonna take the trash out and you've seen this that was a familiar thing but not in the snow we're going to start volume three with this episode on finding a way meaning if you intend to fully commit to an expedition a journey with a purpose you really need to have in your mind an outcome that you want and most certainly there are crevasses between the idea and the outcome challenges not just production challenges scheduling Financial emotional Market challenges all sorts of things and finding the time or better making the effort consistently to produce your videos will be a hurdle Marcus Aurelius you'll read the obstacle is the way discovering why you want to create your own Journey why do you want to document it who does it matter four your self for your family as a legacy all of those Anthony Robbins once shared that if you can't find the motivation from within to get to where you want to go don't look forward but picture yourself on your Deathbed what is it that you will deeply regret in hindsight you see that can be greatly motivating if you would regret having not done it that sounds interesting to think about yeah one of the things that Angelina and I do regularly to expand our beliefs is to see what's possible so that we could imagine fabulous outcome kind of a moonshot if you will finding a way often means attempting something larger than you think you're capable of and the saying goes that if you try to make it to the moon and fail at least you'll get your butt over your neighbor's fence and it's done hour by hour editing and minute by minute seeing what if volume three as I can see now is a how-to thank you showing that you won't get there the first time it'll take numerous attempts before you come to a summit that you're pleased with let's have a look at some of the early attempts I did if you're in business for yourself I bet you know what this feels like oh boy here's something that you don't see every day I'm like in the middle of nowhere I mean literally and I look down let me see if I can zoom in here a little bit there's a bunch of money playing all around the side of the road thank you God that's interesting I want to be sure to relate this story accurately if you look across the valley and I've just crossed it's about oh 25 miles or so that I've been riding now during that time I've been having this little conversation with god about provision and what is it that I need to do to take my service to the next level you know and it's just basically serving more people and I'm looking at my totem it's a reminder of you know God's faithfulness and his provision and all of that you notice right here provision of work finances and uh that's about the time I was getting pretty hot and decided to stop and uh take off my jersey and in the process looking down I find 118 dollars I can't say that I manifested the money and I certainly didn't have an intention to find it but you know I do have a real harsh desire to serve people and if this little story serves you then it's a good one for me I'm like I said out here in early Utah that's an interesting one to think about how provision shows up when you need it I think this is worth recording just for the record um we just finished with a really excellent meeting with Purple Heart organization and Patrick was very receptive very entrepreneurial and wanting to help wounded veterans and with scotomaville we then needed to go put some gas in the car but we're just leaving after having put five dollars into the gas tank because I couldn't fill it all the way up and I'm thinking okay fine how many miles does that get us and we have about a an hour drive tomorrow to go look at some property and I'm thinking through huh how we're gonna make this happen getting there and getting back and not even four minutes later after putting in that five dollars I get a text message on my phone for one of the persons that's saying I'm trying to pay to be part of your project and I want to do a two payment option and it's not allowing me to and I'm like I'll send you a venbo right now William H Murray was totally correct and scripture supports the same idea when you're fully committed and not until then and you know it just makes me um appreciate as a couple how we navigate through the adventures together and thank you Elon for sharing your transparency and how you not just sleep on the factory floor to show your team your commute you're fully committed in being there but that you too have sacrificed what is required for the greater good of all so we are following in the way in which he and others have lent and that's just part of the journey to get comfortable with being uncomfortable sometimes Leo Tolstoy is a famous Russian novelist and I love this quote of his because it agrees with Einstein that seems that the smarter we think we are they actually the Blinder we get I know that most men not only those considered clever but even those who are very clever and capable of understanding most difficult scientific mathematical or philosophic problems can seldom discern even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as obliges them to admit the falsity of conclusions they have formed perhaps with much difficulty conclusions of which they are proud which they have taught to others and on which they have built their [Music] life you've seen North American Indian petroglyphs and possibly Egyptian hieroglyphics here's a good example of that this happens to be one of those examples of a psychological scotoma that I really love I I've used this in hundreds of presentations and so much so that it's like it's on some of our company t-shirts right [Music] I jokingly refer to entrepreneurs as the AAA for serial entrepreneurs and it may take you a level two series which is to cycle with me across North America or to uh hike with Mark Barnes and I and canoe across all of Brazil there'll be something next summer in 2011 that we're going to be doing as a band of men when you go through this series you're going to have to do this with a Sketchbook or your own journal to track your progress and as you'll see I've I've got numerous journals that I keep notes in keep drawings in keep all of the progress that I have has been going through and it's partly to explain to my kids welcome back to chapter one of the enterprising cycle and this is session four on perceptual Illusions hi I'm Jerry Andrus uh I'm very interested in how our human brains work that I'm standing inside what I call boxing possible if you'll look maybe you'll see that there seems to be something wrong with it here watch this look it's not a box at all I was just standing in the corner of this framework and you can see it has no resemblance to a box at all welcome back to the enterprising cycle chapter 2 part 3 on brain plasticity now you remember that I said the enterprising cycle is Decades of wisdom reduced to invaluable hours now I have a background in particle physics and nuclear energy and this brain plasticity stuff neither of us are going to become neuroscientists by looking into this session but we are going to see some pretty darn amazing evidence you remember that uh old wives tale that you can't teach an old dog new tricks well in fact you can and we're going to learn from Jody Miller that who's had a hemispheric to me I mean literally has half a brain that we can in fact learn all kinds of new stuff at any time we choose is created for change welcome back to the enterprising cycle chapter 2 session four on Arrested Development I gotta tell you I not only earned the shirt I made the shirts uh this was for a group of guys graduating from Dr Paul hagstrom's course on life skills of which several of us are still in two years later that's what this session's about I've done a few Expeditions Transamerica rides and uh I'm familiar with the staging process the um getting ready to go process where you in my case you're right thousands of miles before you ride thousands of miles here's the fourth summon of the day and man it's dropped 15 degrees since this morning it's Memorial Day weekend and if you can see it but I'm in the middle of a bunch of snow flurries in the Nevada welcome back to the enterprising cycle chapter two and part five on change thinking now this is going to be a bit funny because if it continues as it has been my natural lighting source is the Sun and today is a gnarly windy day in the gorge and we have a ribbon of clouds between my studio and the Sun and for the last hour it has been coming and going very frequently so I am really learning to deal with change as uh this conditions here in the set continually change The Neighbor comes asking for jumper cables a train Parks outside in Idols waiting for another one so my plans for this morning are completely disrupted and that in fact is a pretty good uh personal testimony about where we're going on this personal Everest if you will about transformation welcome back to the enterprising cycle chapter two this is session six on distinction and emotional vocabulary and I gotta tell you that I think you're doing really well you are ascending and acclimating you're becoming more familiar with a lot of the terms and the diversity of the concepts that I'm bringing together for you and in this session we're going to start off by kind of a review you know back down to base camp a little bit and what we should have picked up is that it's critical to surround yourself with lifelong learning with books and mentors for us to model and to mimic to surround ourselves with points of view that we won't naturally have at a time when it's critical for us to get it one of my favorite and most respected authors puts it this way don't get worried or upset about anything but in every situation pray with Thanksgiving presenting your requests to God and the peace of God which goes beyond common understanding will protect and renew your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus summing it all up I'd say you'll do Best by filling your minds and meditating on things that are true Noble reputable authentic compelling gracious the best not the worst beautiful not the ugly things to praise not things to curse put into practice what you learned from me what you heard and saw and realized do that and God who makes everything work together will work you into his most excellent harmonies it's fairly easy to mix up the idea that because something complex has been reduced to simple terms and as Paul eloquently writes the instructions on how to actually change your mind that Not only would it be simple but it would be easy and therein lies our challenge because yes it is simple but for some reason it is not at all easy it's fraught with fear and doubt and the emotions which say that I can't I won't I I couldn't and just shutting down just straight up turning off so let me share with you some of the tools that I know over time do actually work they they make it so you don't have to go in on your own you don't have to learn trial by error you can in fact practice with others and arrive safely at the destination on the other side of the crevasse if you will as a completely transformed person [Music] to the enterprising cycle chapter two on personal transformation this is session eight which is the wrap up for the chapter now the goal of this entire chapter is not for you to learn how to offend people or put them on the offensive what he means is defensive but rather for you to become more transparent and far less guarded to have the capacity of understanding in your mind to deal with changes in the market so that you don't have to become an offender using your strengths to wound other people it's really stinky in a helmet face mask oh yeah [Music] hi I'm Daniel Kopp founder of entrepreneurs and author of The enterprising cycle hi I'm Angelina music founder of entrepreneurs and also author of the Enterprise and we are at the starting point of the 2011 Transamerica Expedition we are in Blaine Washington which is overlooking the Canadian Vancouver border to invite you on this year's Expedition first let me explain an expedition is a journey with a purpose and a destination on this card on one side put a big fat Plus on the other side about the size of a peppercorn smaller than a ladybug draw a DOT like that hang on are you driving your car put that phone down you can't watch this and do this exercise we all have a scotoma that's a blind spot that's a an area that we have with us our entire life you ever wonder why they have Pilots scan the horizon right to look around like this because if you can't see an incoming spot an airplane or a missile if there's pilot in the other vehicle they can't see you either can't just be fully engaged all the time and hope things turn out that's like living underneath it Bluff with rocks up there it's a disaster waiting to happen next time you go to get your coffee make sure you get the right size sleep because they have small and they have large right don't get them mixed up foreign [Music] you got the right idea oh yeah this is episode and welcome to absolutely nowhere they pronounce it now here it's now here now here correct it's now here now here really it says nowhere it's now here it's now here not nowhere really they pronounce it now here oh I get it the traffic is now here the noise is now here yeah this is now here not nowhere I got it imagine riding your bike across this and then having this pass you oh yeah there's a trigger here's some more and then [Music] another one and then [Music] it would all go away and there'd be nobody and it'd be all back to you again on the side of the road nice and quiet we're in a public library it's a great place to learn about curves and exponentials and how to use information and storytelling to change lanes I hope you can see my camera in here if not I'm gonna look I've stuck it up on this sort of thing right so you can see how I'm shooting what I'm shooting while I'm recording from my so we're going to put you back down here and hopefully that's in about the right place the reason I've taken so many episodes to expand your understanding of scotomas illusions storytelling being gamed if you don't want to be part of the useless class then don't get suckered into being entertained and just being a data provider don't just be adding data to the Corpus for AI don't even be yeah good night's sleep Parsons cod liver oil before bed and uh a bit of diffuse time you can come up with some pretty interesting large idea mapping in contrast to focus mode you get these really good conceptual ideas on things like this one Hey Stephen why don't you show me that Maslow's hierarchy again certainly let me escape this event horizon and I'd be Keen to explain it Daniel it's now here yeah I remember oh yeah there's a trigger absolutely no fear right no fear we're just pushing through I said it is now here the fair week what correct no fear no that's not what you said you said no fear you have to know fair to talk about it no I'm not doing it not the whole week no fear no fear no fear that's not what you said okay I'll tell it then here's a true story back in the day I did 9 11. and I used to spend a lot of time on the track with buddies of mine one of them from side to side across the rear window was a sticker and the sticker was spelled k-n-o-w-f-e-a-r I I just had the most impossible time getting past this guy and literally he taught me fear in these turns but that's not the kind of fear I'm talking about I'm talking about having your amygdala hijacked your entire system that's the kind of fear I'm talking about when it's not in your hands and you have to let something else determine the outcome oh that's the pedicure I'm talking about [Music] okay [Music] I keep talking about the 360 Men book of insights as an expedition and we're all going to put some crampons on we're all going to acclimate we're going to go up and down up and down up and down that means a bunch of failures that means a bunch of exercise and work and exchanging ideas and sweat you know a lot of uh things but what you're going to learn the experience you're going to gain the abilities that you'll have after a little bit of exercise are going to really help you communicate some important things so right now I am giving you an example of part of what you're going to learn I have up here a little GoPro Redbox I have here my tablet sitting on my desk and you can see that I'm shooting from that I have here my cell phone handheld you could stick stuff in you know a window mount you could put it on a tripod weather front had just gone through and it was cold that morning and wet and so I went to in Fargo North Dakota I went to McDonald's and as I went in I looked around it was full of senior citizens I mean there was no place to sit except at a table with an Indian I got my meal being delivered to me at the counter and I heard this hey I need to talk to you I was like oh people are looking at me I'm I turn around and it's a gentleman sitting at the table pointing at me I need to talk to you he said so I thought well okay it's interesting I went and sat down at the table and we started eating a meal and I go why do you have to wait what's all that stuff I'm looking at all this it looks like a Walmart greeter it's got a hat on it's got sure it's got all kinds of pins and medallions and ribbons and stuff and I go wait a minute you're not a Walmart those are all battle um medallions and all campaigns and I was like who are you and he says I'm uh Glenn Douglas and we dug into the story a little bit you might know the movie with Nicholas Cage in it called Wind Talkers and Glenn was one of the original windtalkers from the Korean War he's the oldest living most decorated Army Native American Army intelligence officer music I had some interesting Life Experiences so in the middle of conversation I oh he I said why do you have to talk to me and he laid the paper down in the newspaper he was reading and he pointed to a picture of me is that you and I was like yeah but is that you on the opposite side of the paper was his face well here we are he's reading the newspapers both of us that I'm standing at the counter and so we get to have a conversation with each other and he wanted to know what I'm doing so I shared a little bit unpelling Across America uh Angelina being in a car wreck and I was trying to get the message out and on the same day Lance Armstrong rode into Paris for the final time a cyclist from Seattle rode into the Twin Cities for the first time Daniel comp is traveling cross-country on his bike to raise awareness for women in business the longtime cyclist got the idea after his wife was injured in a bad car crash car crash she was an entrepreneur and he's riding in honor of her through peer support and mentoring they all sort of network together and share their business ideas and help each other in business and just incredible things are coming out of it so we're trying to bring it out of the Texas South area and up across the northern U.S so comp started his journey in Seattle just after Father's Day He figures if he travels 80 to 100 miles a day he'll reach the East Coast by the end of August I said oh go ahead you're you're an Indian and I still remember this I get goosebumps from this because it was like the most obvious inappropriate social statement to make out loud right you were an Indian and uh yeah and I said what's with the butterflies he goes oh butterflies they know I'm like they know they know what your mission my mission what you're changing and you're helping people the butterflies are there so you don't quit and the horses too it's fascinating not just to see the weight gain and reduction but to understand the internal dialogue that I can still hear so in the span of 30 years I learned little pieces of video production and storytelling and I want to encourage you the learning curve but the frustration because now the value to me is not only to look back at cameras doing this the value for you to put out the effort over time the why if you will is that you'll be able to look back understand a bigger pattern within the span of your lifetime you'll be able to pass on insights and wisdom to your family your friends your community help them take grander steps and I want you to just take a bit of time to actually think about 30 years 40 50 years from now looking back how satisfied you will be for having put in that small amount of effort incrementally to both record and to tell that story and I think from that why you'll find the ability to climb again and again and again and then over time to find not just your voice in your style to be honest with what the actual story is so boring that you pass on can we turn on the television I think that's what this episode let's check your social media helping you get the heck out of scatoma though find your why find a way [Music]

Welcome to episode one on finding meaning in your journey and discovering your purpose. Embarking on a purpose-driven expedition requires clarity on the outcome you desire. However, it's essential to acknowledge the challenges you'll face, such as production, financial, emotional, and market obstacles. But remember, the obstacles are part of the journey, as Marcus Aurelius said, "The obstacle is the way."
To find your motivation, ask yourself why you want to create this journey and document it. Consider whether it's for self-growth, family, or leaving a legacy behind. Anthony Robbins once advised that if you struggle to find internal motivation, imagine yourself on your Deathbed, reflecting on what you'd regret not doing.
Engaging in an expedition often means pushing beyond your perceived capabilities, aiming for a moonshot. Even if you don't reach the original goal, you'll make progress, as the saying goes, "If you aim for the moon and miss, you'll still land among the stars."
Remember, it's not about achieving success immediately. Volume three will demonstrate that your first attempts may not meet your expectations, but learning and improvement will occur over time.
Let's take a look at some early attempts I made during my journey, which might resonate with your own experiences. For instance, there was a moment when I found unexpected money while reflecting on God's provision, reminding me of the importance of service and purpose.
As you set out on your journey, surround yourself with positive influences like books, mentors, and different perspectives. Embrace change and learn from others who have sacrificed for the greater good. Like Leo Tolstoy's quote, sometimes, the more we think we know, the blinder we become to simple truths.
Remember that you might face blind spots or scotomas along the way, but with perseverance, practice, and transparency, you can overcome them. Embrace change, maintain emotional vocabulary, and learn to navigate distinctions.
In the end, the goal is personal transformation. The journey might be challenging, but it's about finding your purpose and understanding your mind to deal with market changes. Don't let fear hold you back; instead, face it head-on and learn from failures.
Consider this expedition as a lifelong learning process, and document your progress along the way. Share your insights and wisdom with others, leaving a positive impact on your community.
So, as you go on your expedition to find purpose, remember your "why" and let it guide you as you face challenges and strive for personal growth. Find your way, embrace change, and don't be afraid to transform yourself. Your journey is about discovering your purpose and leaving a meaningful legacy.

A Personal Everest is a transformative journey, determined by the measure of your commitment. The cost of that measure is in your willingness to face obstacles by pivoting your beliefs. Doing so is both hard work in terms of the energy used to rewire your dendrites, as well as the emotional toll of the disruption to your worldview. Over the winter we explore the profound significance of re-finding purpose and revisiting meaning in our lives. Yes, there were weeks of sub-freezing temperatures, but there was quiet from the blanket of snow that shouted for attention.
If you can venture out, you might find constraints on what you rely on. For instance, on my 2016 Expedition, cycling across the Great Basin National Park I found unexpected money while reflecting on God's provision, reminding me of the importance of service and purpose. That wasn't my reaction to the discovery at the time. I had been grumbling like Israel crossing the desert about my meager finances and harsh conditions. I had had a hot flash and stopped, quite emotionally and abruptly. I spotted a dollar bill stuck in the roadside sagebrush and presumed my wallet had been evicting dollar bills along the barren landscape. I exploded. I was near tears when I spotted a twenty-dollar bill. I didn't own a $20. WTF?
By committing yourselves to a purpose-driven expedition, you'll embark on a path of self-discovery and personal growth. You won't have to leave home, work, or your responsibilities, but you will be taxed, burdened, and tested at how pliable your habits, vices, and coping mechanisms are. Challenges and obstacles are inevitable, but they become opportunities for learning and progress. Through transparent reflection and embracing change, you can overcome blind spots and fears, allowing you to see things with new eyes, and persevere enough to leave a lasting impact on our world.

Welcome to the first episode, where we delve into discovering meaning in your journey and uncovering your true purpose. Embarking on a purpose-driven expedition demands clarity on your desired outcomes. Nevertheless, it's crucial to acknowledge the hurdles ahead, including production, financial, emotional, and market obstacles. But remember, these hurdles are integral to the journey, as Marcus Aurelius wisely said, "The obstacle is the way."
To discover your motivation, ask yourself why you embark on this journey and document it. Consider whether it's for self-growth, family, or leaving a lasting legacy. Anthony Robbins once advised that if internal motivation eludes you, envision yourself on your Deathbed, reflecting on what you might regret not pursuing.
Engaging in an expedition often means surpassing your perceived capabilities, aiming high like shooting for the moon. Even if you fall short of your original goal, progress will still be made, just like the saying goes, "If you aim for the moon and miss, you'll still end up over your neighbor's fence."
A Personal Everest signifies a transformative journey, determined by the measure of your commitment. The cost of that measure lies in your willingness to face obstacles by shifting your beliefs. This endeavor demands considerable effort, both in rewiring your neural connections and the emotional toll of challenging your worldview. During the winter, we explore the profound significance of rediscovering purpose and revisiting the meaning in our lives. Despite weeks of sub-freezing temperatures, there was tranquility under the blanket of snow, beckoning for attention.
Venturing out, you might encounter constraints on your usual comforts. For example, during my 2016 Expedition, while cycling across the Great Basin National Park, I stumbled upon unexpected money, prompting reflections on God's provision and reinforcing the importance of service and purpose. At the time, I had been grumbling like Israel crossing the desert about my meager finances and harsh conditions. In an emotional outburst, I spotted a dollar bill stuck in the roadside sagebrush, followed by the discovery of a twenty-dollar bill. My reaction was far from graceful, and I couldn't fathom how a $20 bill ended up in my possession.
By dedicating yourselves to a purpose-driven expedition, you'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. You won't need to leave your home, work, or responsibilities, but you will be tested, burdened, and challenged to assess the flexibility of your habits, vices, and coping mechanisms. Though challenges and obstacles are certain, they present invaluable opportunities for learning and progress. Through transparent reflection and embracing change, you can overcome blind spots and fears, enabling you to see the world with fresh eyes and leave a lasting impact on the world around you.
