[00:00:00] CORY: Welcome to Hindsight Hacking I'm Cory Carter
[00:00:05] RON: And I'm Ron Cooland On this podcast we've had hundreds of entrepreneurs, hindsight. To help you the listener With better foresight. Now, guys, if you want to know all about what we can do to help you focus on being you head over to get hhm.com, keep pushing through those ups and downs that we all will have.
[00:00:36] CORY: We're still going to have amazing conversations with amazing people. Hindsight hacking boils down to amazing conversations with some amazing people.
[00:00:53] oh right, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of hindsight hacking. And today, Ron, [00:01:00] we have another first, we have our very first Zen monk or past Zen monk.
[00:01:05] ALLAN: Former zen monk
[00:01:05] CORY: Former zen monk but mr. Allan Knight has been an inner fitness. I love that inner fitness and communication coach for over 25 years. As a former Zen monk he's created a unique training formula to help us affectively navigate our lives within this chaotic world. Alan is a creator of Zen zone mindset training, and I am super stoked to get into all this as well as he's, he's got a book or two that we're going to talk about. So, Alan, thank you so much for joining the show and thank you for coming here today.
[00:01:39] ALLAN: Well, it's my pleasure. Look forward to chatting to both of you. Cool guys. Cool and Carter
[00:01:44] RON: yeah, we're looking forward to it. We've never had a monk. So that's going to be exciting
[00:01:47] ALLAN: Oh that sounds really exciting, if you, if you're excited about talking to a former Zen monk, you got a real problem.
[00:01:54] CORY: We're all about first though Allan
[00:01:56] RON: Yeah it's always about the first. So as long as there's a [00:02:00] first, we're excited,
[00:02:00] ALLAN: Okay we're going to start this wayooohhhmmmm..
[00:02:09] RON: All right. Well, before we get too far into it, why don't you kind of catch us up? Give us your backstory a little bit to what got you to be a former monk to now
[00:02:18] ALLAN: very quickly. When I was 13 years old, my mother was diagnosed with cancer, told she had six months to live. She lived for almost 20 years. And so my mother was my first role model of the power of the human spirit. When I was 19, my father died. And then I was in the middle of taking a bachelor of psychology. And I kind of knew that I wanted to train teach, but I didn't know what I was kinda lost. Took a year off, traveled the world. Went to city, to city, country, to countries. Saw all there is. It was kind of cool. Cool, Ron cool. But there was something missing. And then I had my first life-changing experience where I came to that close to dying on a desert from a heat stroke. And I was so freaked out about that, that when [00:03:00] I got home to Montreal, where I currently live, I kind of felt like I was opened up to that. I was pretty atheistic, but I started to explore my spiritual back or my spirituality. My personal development met these two people that were living at what was called the Zen meditation center at the time. And their eyes were calm, centered, clear that they invited me there. There were about 30 of them all with these clear, calm eyes. I said, I want more of. I moved in, lived like a monk for nine years until I missed women too much. And then I left living at the monastery.
[00:03:32] CORY: Yeah, definitely. You have to give up a lot, but you gain a lot and experience in the desert. And really, I want to just bring that up a little. Because so many people have a life-changing experience and, and they do, you know, one of two things, right? Like they usually can go and make their life better from it. Sometimes they do the ladder and things get spin out of control. But, you know, tell us a little bit more about that. You had the life-changing experience, you explored the spirituality [00:04:00] and then nine years, like that's a big chunk of your life nine years to, to go and live in that, in that way.
[00:04:06] ALLAN: Yeah. I mean, one of the things I learned at the end of the nine years when I left is I quickly realized that I had learnt a lot about how to center the mind, how to get into a deep state, a state of calmness, et cetera. But when I went back into society, I realized I was a bit of a basket case when it came to all the other aspects of life that I, I needed to integrate all those aspects, which actually led me to creating this end zone mindset training, because it's all about the whole person. But when you got the Zen part. When you learn to get into tap into the, I call it that Zen zone and let that guide the rest. And you take care of your physical fitness and you take care of your emotionality and you take care of attracting quality relationships, be it personal professional, and you follow the career of your dreams or whatever it be. When you live holistically, that life becomes effortless and just full of joy and happiness, no [00:05:00] matter how much money you're making or not making you're living your dream. And if you get off track, it's the sixth step of my nine steps, you learn how to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and get back into Zen zone. So you live more and more with that joy, with that confidence. And with that success.
[00:05:16] RON: I love pretty much everything you just said. I'm pretty excited about it. So I'm going to kind of dig in a little bit here. So pick yourself back up. That could be, if somebody's battling a hard time or depression on something or they're just battling through, is that what you mean by that? To help them get through? With your, with your
[00:05:36] ALLAN: It could be a good question, Ron but it could be anything. I, the number six step, which I call busting through the barriers, we all, no matter how wonderful our lives might be. I believe that all of us are tested sometimes in a small way. Like you might go out and you think it's a nice day and it's raining. That's what I call a small Scud missile. Somebody steals 2, 3, 4, [00:06:00] $5,000. It's a medium scud missile. But if you have a loved one, have four stage cancer, that's a major Scud missile. So one of the things that I teach people in number six is how to feel it, feel the pain, whatever it is, but then quite quickly pick yourself up by the bootstraps and get back in the zone. Now that's, that's true. Self-mastery but that can only happen if you start really working on your emotional, psychological, If you have a lot of insecurity, if you have a lot of fear, if you have a lack of belief in yourself, then the Scud missiles are likely to overwhelm you and you become the victim of them. So whether it's, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's over 10 years ago, that was one of the biggest Scud missiles in my. But what I did quite quickly, I now look back and say, you know what? I'm navigating it pretty well when someone's with me, they hardly noticed I have it, but it's been a great teacher because it pushed me or I allowed it to push me and say, I'm going to go to a deeper [00:07:00] level of inner freedom and focus and soul and all this rest. And I've never been happier. I've never been more effective in my relationships, partly because of how I dealt with those Scud missiles. Like you just said, Ron, everybody's different. You either become a victim and a victim of them and suffer or do you use them as a lemon becomes lemonade and you learn how to transform yourself into a whole new level of freedom and happiness?
[00:07:28] CORY: Yeah. So, you know, obviously anybody that's going to go through any program, albeit a coaching to be better with finances, coaching, to, you know, do some kind of training to launch a podcast that we teach or in you're in your nine step process of the Zen becoming within the zen zone mindset. Is, is it typically take, you know, 30 days to get to step three? Is it typically a year to get to step nine? Is it like, you know, it obviously again with everybody, what do they put into it is what they'll get out of it, but, you know, what's [00:08:00] kinda been the, the experience on, on how you can get somebody to be able to get more joy and more confidence and all that?
[00:08:08] ALLAN: You guys ask great questions. First of all, there's no program in the world, no matter how great the program is, even Allan Knight. Program. Whatever I do is going to get people to, to achieve the highest level of Nirvana and perfection in 30 days. And I don't claim that at all. What I do claim is that when I embarked becoming a personal development teacher of sorts, I began to see that as people came through my office and I asked them, how much work have you done on your own personal development? Many of them would say, oh, I've read every book. I've spent 5, 10, 20 $5,000 on this and this and this. And then I would do my evaluation and assessment, which is step number one, by the way. And many of them still procrastinated still had a hyperactive mind, still lack sufficient confidence still. were not bold and assertive enough. were too hard on themselves. And the list goes on and I thought [00:09:00] there's something wrong here. So then I looked at the whole training industry and the self-development industry. Most people when they talk about it are talking about becoming more aware mindset is important, law of attraction, all these words and buzzwords are great, but they're just words. And they help. A lot of people become more aware. What I want it to do is if you were a physical fitness trainer, you don't get me in reading books or into a raw raw seminar. You get me in the gymnasium and I work out four or five times a week. So that's why the nine-step formula that I developed is a practical transformational system. You just navigates you through these areas of your mind, emotion, confidence, communication mastery. It's speeds up relative, inner freedom and happiness and contentment and calm. But of course, that's going to go on forever, but within 92 days, if you practice the things that I teach, you're going to come to a very, very high level of inner [00:10:00] freedom and self-confidence and communication effectiveness.
[00:10:03] RON: No I, I love that and love that whole mindset piece that you're talking. And, you know, I know we could probably do a whole show on that. What did I have two questions? And you can pick which one you want to want to answer, but one, where do you see in your process where people would struggle the most, that you have to kind of dig in more with them or is it all individual or is there a place that, you know, Hey, this is going to be hard for this person. And so you're, you're setting them up or they, they trip.
[00:10:32] ALLAN: Okay. And again, you got by, by the way, I got to acknowledge you guys for your brilliant questions. It says a lot about you. It depends on the person. Some people. Have trouble in step number two, which I talk about connecting with the past. A lot of people, especially men, a bit more than women, not all men, not all, not all the women, of course, but a lot of men will say to me, Alan, I don't care what the past is the past. I just want to get on with the present and the future. Great. I agree with you. However, I'm not interested in the past, but what I am [00:11:00] interested. What in the past is living in you now, like an infection and parasite. So in step number two, we have a letting go exercises that I teach people that help to release some of the negativity, some of the anger, some of the resentment, some of the grudges that we might continue to hold, we got to let that go release it, experience it, channel it, and release it. And then. We're more open to step number three, which is vision muscles. And four is inner fitness muscles, and five is action and accountability building your lifestyle muscles. So there's nothing for some people. Number two is a bit of a resistance. Other people embrace that very nicely. A lot of women especially do cause they, they they're used to doing that kind of thing, but where the real real growth happens is step number four and six, four is the inner fitness muscle building exercises. That's where people it's powerful and simple, but it requires some commitment and discipline to do it every day. [00:12:00] And number six is the real, my most favorite one, which is busting through the barriers because self-mastery and true inner freedom will only come not by having a temporary high, but when you go through the challenge and pick yourself up quicker and quicker and quicker and get in the Zen zone, that's enlightenment. That's what I was seeking when I became. And that's why, I guess I'm a late bloomer. I, you know, people ask me how come you're not at the Tony Robbins level? I said, well, I wanted to walk the talk. I didn't want to just be a teacher. I wanted to be a master. And that's why I set up a certification program to teach as many people might. That's my goal now to teach as many people to teach this. So when something happens. The program still goes on way beyond me.
[00:12:44] CORY: Ah, that's leaving the legacy on that, but so let's, let's talk a little bit more if you wouldn't mind on inner fitness. Again, I mentioned that as I did the introduction, like for whatever reason, that being an athlete and playing sports, I see, I know you played some baseball back in [00:13:00] the day, like, I love baseball been coaching. My son's baseball team now for the last, like say eight years. And, and so, you know, anything sports related and you said inner fitness, like, it makes me think of, oh, this is something that if I do the work, then I can achieve the result. And so it, can you give us an example of what someone would do within that?
[00:13:20] ALLAN: Just amazing. You're talking, you're talking to an ex jock here I've been preoccupied with sports all my life. As a matter of fact, I got into went into a deep state of depression last night, when the Jay's lost to the Yankees, I couldn't believe who were so close and now we're done. Anyway. I I'm a jock from way back at baseball was my favorite. I was a fastball pitcher. I, I learned something when I pitched baseball, I was playing for a team. And I noticed that one season, we had a better team than the other team that we got in the playoffs. They had come forth. We became first and we lost, and I watched the people who were playing for the other team and they were arrogant, bold, [00:14:00] aggressive, and our guys were intimidated by them. The next year we came six and got into the playoffs and I decided to take the bull by the horns. And I took everybody by the side and I said, okay, now we're going to get into this. We're going to get our emotions in here. We're not going to get intimidated by anyone. And I went on a rampage like that. We won the whole thing and it planted a seed in my mind that a lot of, and I'm sure you being an athlete, Cory you can relate to this.. That there's some athletes that come, whether they're basketball, football, hockey, whatever it be, they come with all this adulation and they never achieve their full potential. And I I've met professionals like that and I should shake their hand and they shake their hand and it's kind of wimpy, Shay. They don't have that inner fortitude, that consistent belief in themselves. And so one of the things I want to do with the first seven steps, which is inner fitness Is eventually teach athletes or former athletes how to become a coach and have many, many people teach that side of it. This program is [00:15:00] geared to mental fitness, but it's not just like sports psychology, the odd visualization. It goes much more deep and practical than that. And when you come out of that, you're so strong and mentally tough you could take a pitcher and that pitcher will start throwing more consistently and get in the zone, get in the zone and not start to get in their head and wonder and tough self-doubts and pick themselves apart. And then it screws up their productivity. So the inner fitness is powerful because in step number four, I deal with the emotions, the mind and the Zen zone. So I have a whole range of exercises that builds those muscles. So your mind, your, your in this. Your emotions are feeling great about who you are and you've channeled any negativity into enthusiasm and passion, and you reprogram any negative belief you have about yourself. So when you're at that level of interface, The actions of number five and the communication of number eight, just have like a [00:16:00] ripple effect on all of them. And that's why it catapults you into living a much more extraordinary life
[00:16:05] RON: I love that. Okay. This is like perfect timing for me. More than all of these say got a bunch of notes here. All right. So
[00:16:12] ALLAN: we've got to do a podcast together guys..
[00:16:14] RON: That's right that's right.
[00:16:16] CORY: Let's do it yeah. All things podcasting. Let's go
[00:16:18] RON: Let's do it. All right. So people go through your program. They, they get to this Zen state. Is that something they practice daily, weekly, monthly, or is it like, just as you go through the day, if you notice, Hey, I'm slipping. Do you have a trigger to get into this, this state?
[00:16:36] ALLAN: I, I never tell people what to do. I just recommend what works and what has worked for me for 35, 40 years is I do my inner hour power hour. It doesn't have to be 60 minutes, but I call it my power hour. So it's Cory power hour Ron's hour power, power hour. And it's flexible. According to you are, it's not so rigid. It's what works for you. So in my power hour, every day, [00:17:00] when I get up the cobwebs are there, I make sure that quite quickly in the day, I'm going to take myself, get in the car or get in a quiet room and I'm going to do a series of exercises. It's going to include getting in the zone, it could be chanting that I do cause I love chanting. I relate to it. Some people don't, it includes prayer. It includes affirmations. It includes whatever it takes. Sometimes release emotion just to get the emotion out. And when you do that, you get in the zone, you feel it almost immediate impact. And it takes you through the rest of the day. That's why, when people say Allan, do you recommend doing it in the morning or evening? Hey, best do both. But if I was to choose one, I'd say the morning, cause then you attack your day from your highest self. But I highly recommend to all my clients do them every day. It's the easiest thing to let go, because when you start feeling good in your life, it's so easy to say. I got it I'm there. And you put that aside, but [00:18:00] I highly recommend that people get on a habit of doing it every day. At least once a day. Now, with some, my beginners that come on board, I recommend that they do some of this, whether they're out taking a walk when shopping they can do some of these inner fitness exercise while they do it. But once you get so good at it, you, you just starting to live it. You don't have to do them as often as, as you did at the beginning.
[00:18:23] CORY: Yeah, definitely it Ron and I we've had a couple conversations about this in the past about. You know, again, not to necessarily push the rigidity of it, but to have some kind of morning routine, right? Like if you can wake up and do things as little as like drink a full glass of water to, you know, any kind of workout to meditation or whatever it might, I, you know, personally, like if I start my day with something like that, I feel, you know, a thousand times. Then if I, if I don't and, and so it just, I love that, you know, attack your day from your high, with your highest self. Like, I'd love that comment there.
[00:18:59] ALLAN: [00:19:00] Can I just say one last thing that I forgot to mention, which is very important. People often ask me, they say, Alan, do you teach people meditation? And one of the things that I've learned and why I created the nine steps, not the one step, because it was the one step I would just teach meditation that would be it. But I learned a long time ago when I first got into coaching, I tried to teach people meditation. It's the last thing they needed. It was wrong for me to teach them that one woman friend, who I was so hoping would grow. The more she meditated, the more she was angry because she, the more she looked in, what was in her mind, that is why I realized that unless you connect meditation with some of the fundamentals to prepare you for meditation, you shouldn't meditate. You shouldn't focus on, you could still. But it's not going to be your main focus. That's why I deal with inner fitness on step four, not step one. So that's why I just wanted to say that that the holistic approach is the key, because I don't want to lead your audience astray by saying, geez, if you do [00:20:00] some inner fitness, our power exercises, that's going to be it. It's great. But it comes as part of the context is what I'm trying to say.
[00:20:08] CORY: Yeah, I love that too. And even yesterday, Ron and I had this conversation about how, like, I went for a long kick in my morning routine of I'm gonna meditate for 10 minutes. Right. But it was more of just me checking off a box versus me making progress with my life. Right. Versus me making progress with my mind because I. Do the calisthenics, so to speak for all the steps that you're talking about, right? Like I didn't do the work that was needed prior to make it actually work. What worthwhile versus me, just checking off a box and making it happen. So
[00:20:38] ALLAN: you bring up another really good point that happened at the conversation I had with a woman yesterday. I said, Allen is your program to male oriented as a, to regiment that it's numbers and grounds. I said, I'm the least numbers guy in the world. The reason I put the system together was that the system is just a skeleton to guide you, but it's [00:21:00] not limited. It's not like a regimented that you do this and you do this and you do this. As a matter of fact, you might set a goal to do your hour power hour at eight o'clock in the morning. And then all of a sudden, because of yourself mastery, remember your intuition kicks in and your intuition supers, it supersedes everything. Cause it's all, it's a spiritual thing. So your intuition says, know. Today not doing it eight o'clock. I am now on a roll with my brainstorming for my business. I'm going to take myself into my office and I'm going to brainstorm until I'm tired of that. And I'll do my inner fitness later. It's about freedom not being imprisoned to the sysetem. Very important point.
[00:21:40] RON: Yeah. And like that. So you have, you have a framework, here's the things you kind of have to do, but you don't, you're not like bricklaying and always has to be perfect. So
[00:21:48] ALLAN: Exactly sir, exactly
[00:21:50] RON: do you notice people respond to that better? Like, I think that fits my personality, but I do, I have a planner but I also like to get things done my own way. [00:22:00] So I think, do you think people respond to that better in your program and have more success because of how you set that up?
[00:22:07] ALLAN: The whole reason a great question. Again, the whole reason I set up the nine step formula is to be able to fit whoever you are inside. It's a duplicatable system that has flexibility and fluidity when it comes to inner fitness. What I tell my clients. Hey Don't do what I do. Do what works for you. If getting in the zone includes hot yoga, do that. If it includes taking a scuba dive, do that, do whatever it takes to get clear mentally, emotionally and whatever, but it leaves a lot of flexibility. So still for the people that are, that are perfectionist and our planners, like you Ron you can use it as you use it. If someone else is a little bit more spontaneous, like me, I'll use it as a, you, I don't use some of those manuals that are part of the manuals that I send out to people. I don't even use them sometime, because now I'm at the state of my life where I [00:23:00] kind of know what I'm doing every day. And then I follow my intuition when I need to get off track. So I'm free because the whole point is to become free, not to be imprisoned by the system itself.
[00:23:11] RON: Right, right. Great love it
[00:23:13] CORY: yeah. That's so funny. And the systems usually what drives me and I get married to those systems and lose that freedom. And so that's such a good point. All right. So I'm going to, I'm going to shift gears on us a little. And I want to, you know, hindsight hacking, we're all making sure that our audience gets better foresight because of your hindsight, Allan. And so my questions today is all about you created the nine steps for the Zen zone mindset program, but now you made a comment about how your goal is to teach people to become coaches that they can teach this to basically leave even, you know, if something happens to you at some point, which it happens to all of us at some your message and the, the growth that has happening with your coaches to their students can continue on. At what point did you realize that [00:24:00] you, you were ready to make that impact for more of a legacy versus just impacting the person right in front of you?
[00:24:07] ALLAN: I remember it as clear as yesterday, I was invited. Uh, a conference in LA about 10 years ago, T some of the top motivators, there were 200 people there and I couldn't help, but see speaker after speaker, after speaker get up a lot of raw stuff. I'm sure they're all wonderful people and I'm not in any way trying to criticize. But it almost came across that there were more interested in making money than helping people, you know, they said they wanted to help people. It bothered me. The other thing that bothered me is a lot of coaches and especially motivators will sell you on a program and then upsell you and upsell you and use NLP techniques. And I hate that. I just hate that. And I said, I don't want to do. I want to help people, even if I come up with one training program, if it's going to have major impact, then take the training and never come back to Allan Knight I'm happy with that. So what happened also is that I realized [00:25:00] one of the guys that gave a talk at that session, owned a company called action, coach international. And he said, if you want to be a coach, you could do that. But if you want to make a coach and reach, a lot of people create a duplicatable system. And I knew that I was on track. So I decided about a year ago, better, late than never, that I want to leave a legacy. I want to my goal, my website, my new website just went up yesterday to good timing here, Allan knight.com. And I'm 90% of my focus is going to be to train people that either want to be trainers or are coaches, but they don't have a system like. Train as many people in as many languages and as many target audience for some, it'll be sports for some, it'll be dating for some, it'll be soulmates for some, it will be entrepreneurial. It doesn't matter. They can use the nine steps using their personality. If I can create hundreds, if not thousands of people around the world teaching and some will become [00:26:00] train the trainers. And a few will become part of my company. And if something happens to me, they that's my goal. I just want to reach as many people so that when I pass away in this life, I'll have peace of mind saying, you know what? I did my best, a constant on the batons there, and I feel good.
[00:26:16] RON: No, I love that. And that's the same philosophy Corey and I have, we hate when you buy into a program and like day two, they're pitching you into a huge, you know, next. Sell up, sell, like we were the same way. Here's here's everything you get, everything included. It's one price. There's no other. Move on. We'll teach you how to do it so he can use us or not use us, but you actually get something for what you're paying for. And that's what we wanted to provide people so they can have an impact. And I know people listening are like, where can we connect with you? And kind of what you're working on. What's the best place to kind of get involved in your world to get involved with your systems.
[00:26:55] ALLAN: Well, it's, it might, the best thing you could do right now for the short term is go to Allan [00:27:00] knight.com, which is my new site, A L L a N K N I G H T. You can go to facebook.com and add me there. I have a private I'll invite you guys into a private group, Zen zone mindset group. I do have some social media people that are. Within the next two, three weeks, we're going to launch some simple programs. What some will be free that they can take, and we'll help people how to market themselves and increase their, their, their productivity using audio messaging on, on Facebook, how to run a meetup group so that you can earn three, $4,000 a month. I'm running meetup groups, which I have thousands of members in my one pack in Vancouver. I'll be teaching some smaller things, but some people. We'll want to become certified coaches, but the best thing is going to Alan knight.com. It'll give you some overview of the Be a coach program about the Zen zone. You can connect with me. You can email me, you could book a complimentary consultation. I'm happy to do a complimentary assessment, even if you never take anything with [00:28:00] me, that's where to go at this point, Allan Knight .com
[00:28:02] CORY: Allan Good stuff. Good stuff. But I have one, one more, very, very important. And the reason, like, basically this, this is the question that came to my mind. The moment we met on Facebook and the moment we traded conversation. Is as an entrepreneur or a CEO or a manager of people or anybody at like the, I believe, I believe that you should be growing if you're not growing, you're dying. Right. Like, I believe you should be doing some kind of training, some kind of learning, whether it's a book, whether it's having. Whether it's something, but oftentimes, and I'm guilty of this. Oftentimes, you know, the training I do is a tactic and less on, uh, on the mindset, right? Less on the inner fitness. It's more of a, a skill to learn like, oh, I'm going to go learn how to create websites better. I'm going to learn how to edit a podcast better or whatever I'm doing. Right. And, but it's so important. I think in the entrepreneurial space, Check our minds that we continue to grow that [00:29:00] and get better and do the inner fitness. And so what's your belief on that for any of those entrepreneurs or thing that you can share with them on that
[00:29:09] ALLAN: this takes me back over 30 years ago, when I first made a decision to create a program is that I started off as a sales trainer. I've done a lot of sales in my life. And when I was doing sales training, I did it. The old style I'll teach you this technique. Here's a closing tip. Here's a communication technique. And then I realized 90% of the time it helped, but not very much. And as I explored each person that I was coaching, I realized that 80% oozed out from the inside. When I became a coach, I won, I insisted to myself that I don't want to just create a personal development program. I don't want to just become another life coach. There's nothing wrong with them, but I want it to connect inner fitness. With communication because often that's left out in the personal development world. And so every company I've gone to, when I looked at the problems that they were experiencing, [00:30:00] 90% of them were communication, leadership and communication, interpersonal stuff, and it all comes back to the self. So if I'm a CEO of a company and I want to be the best leader, I could be, let me lead me first. Let me learn how to accept a door, respect and love myself unconscious. And I walked around with freedom and unconditional love, and then I'm going to be better with all the employees. Cause I'm not going to Lord it over them. I'm not going to be stepped on by them. I'm going to be a great leader. And then if I helped them to become great leaders, then I've got a holistic heart centered. That's one of my goals in the corporate world that I'm collaborating now with some people that want to do some collaboration. So I teach the inner fitness and they teach more of the business side of things. I hope that answers your question.
[00:30:46] CORY: Yeah. So good. Thank you.
[00:30:47] ALLAN: Oh, one last thing. Can I get one last thing?
[00:30:50] CORY: Not allowed.
[00:30:53] ALLAN: I left, uh, one of the most important pieces because my biggest passion when I was 19 years. Was, I was always [00:31:00] attracted to the concept of soulmates.
[00:31:02] RON: I was going to just want to know your soulmate revolution books.
[00:31:04] ALLAN: Right. And I wanted to launch the Knightclub k N I G H T. And helps you be chivalry back, which maybe I still will. I call it the soulmate revolution. So, although I'm talking to you about the Zen zone of communication behind the scenes, the soulmate revolution is it's basically a similar to the nine steps of the other one. The first seven are the same cause its self mastery but the communication part is, but I've always wanted to help contribute, help people bring soulmates into their life. And some people say, Alan, do we have one soulmate? I said, of course we have many soulmates friends. So always business, soulmates, family, soulmates, but twin souls and romantic soulmates. But most people are not kept up at, they say, I can't wait to meet my business soulmate. That's why I called my, my book. Soulmate revolution attracting all, attract all your soul soulmates, including the one so we have many soulmates, but it starts with the inner soulmate and that's the focus. So it will be a course that I start bringing out in the near future.
[00:31:59] RON: [00:32:00] Love it, love it
[00:32:01] CORY: is that a book that people can go find somewhere
[00:32:04] ALLAN: the book, if you go to my website on, so you're going to see the Zen zone mindset gone. mind gone wild the soulmate revolution, I gotta warn you. I've gotta be honest with you. The soulmate revolution over the next few three, four months is going to be totally transformed because it has a lot of similar elements to the first book. And I want to pack it with a lot more. Relationship stuff. So I'd recommend you could buy it if you want, but I recommend if you're going to buy the book, buy mine, going gone while the Zen zone mindset and you can get it on my website through Amazon.
[00:32:36] CORY: Perfect. All right, Allen, uh, it's been an honor and a pleasure to have you here. And can't wait to actually get this out to everybody because I know they're going to love it. They're going to be able to watch it on, on YouTube. At some point, they'll be able to see it in the Facebook world. There'll be able to see it or hear it in the podcast platforms, wherever they want to listen, iHeartRadio, Google, Spotify, and iTunes, of course. And [00:33:00] you know, and then there's going to be some clips that I know people are going to want, because I know you just gave a little bit of gold for everybody, so I can't wait to get it all out. But again, Alan, thank you so much for joining us today
[00:33:10] ALLAN: Thank you so much guys. And I'll tell you, you're not just nice guys. You ask some of the best questions I've ever had in an interview. So I just want to acknowledge it. Thank you so much.
[00:33:19] RON: Thank you. Appreciate it.
[00:33:20] CORY: All right, Ron, how was it having your very first monk were former monk, but monk the same,
[00:33:28] RON: um, feeling good. Like I enjoyed, I think I wasn't done talking with him. I wanted to keep digging in. Like that was a really good conversation. Um, I have so, so many, so many I'm going to go through a couple. One is bust through the barriers. Right. And I think you have to, in order to move forward, you have to bust through it. Right. And I think sometimes depending on what it is, it takes longer to bus through than others based off thebust through [00:34:00] or can never move forward. Right. So I think that that's number one. Number two, I loved don't stop making a habit don't stop making it a habit. So I'm going to share something I've yet to share ever on this show and you don't even know I'm doing it. So, um, for, for church, you know, we, we just got this new building it's was, it was a blessing and it was a, it was seriously a miracle building. And you and I have talked about this off air, however, um, we did a fasting and program and prayed and did a Bible study instead of like eating lunch right. So we gave up lunch, spend time in the Bible. And I was talking to Rachel because it just ended. And I was like, gosh, like I've really enjoyed that time. Not only spending it in the Bible, but actually spending it with her and then connecting on what each of us are learning differently. It's like a great way to communicate, especially if you're at home with your spouse all the time, finding stuff that your spouse doesn't know you're doing. [00:35:00] To talk about is hard, cause they're with you all the time, right? It's not super exciting. So this was just a way to do it. And so now we're going to keep this on and now we're creating this habit that helps us mentally get better. Helps us become a better person and helps us connect in a deeper way.
[00:35:18] CORY: So good. So good. Yeah, the connection piece, the communication piece, and you're right. Was as you work side-by-side with somebody all the time, sometimes you lose things to talk about. So, uh, finding good habits have to add things to talk about. But my favorite thing from, from Alan today, uh, was that the comment he made about attack your day from your highest self. Right. Like, it's just, you know, however, you can do that. And even Tony Robbins, it's all about the state you're in, like, you have the power to change that, right? Like there's so many different things, but if you have the mindset that I want to be my highest self to start the day to, to move forward, like how different can [00:36:00] one show up? For Your kids for your spouse, for your friends, for your family, for your business, you know, how much better a day would one have? If that's the mindset, when you wake up, you tack the day from your highest self. And so I love that great conversation, probably more to come from Mr. Allan Knight in our futures. A lot of fun and, uh, I can't wait. Can't wait to learn more about them.
