Sam Crowley is a former Fortune 100 exec who launched the personal development brand Every Day Is Saturday & the hugely successful EverydayIsSaturday.com. Sam is a best-selling co-author, speaker & business coach.

I followed Sam's podcast for a while and eventually, I got the bug... I needed to create a podcast and I hired him to be my coach... it was during the process of creating the podcast and working with Sam that I had my "awakening experience" and at some point I had asked Sam if he could tell me what he meant by bringing someone to Christ.

That was a couple of years ago, and I wanted to capture what that meant from him again so that I could share it here with you...

Check it out and, hey, check out his podcast as well... very good spiritual dope!

54321 Hey, their spiritual dope I am on today with the legendary Sam Crowley from every day is Saturday and something I haven't talked about on this podcast is is that Sam was sounds like my coach Sam's like the reason I have a podcast at all. So, you know, super excited to have you on is Sam, what's going on?

Sam Crowley 0:25
Hey, Brandon, great to be back, man. It's been a minute since the last time we chatted. So I'm fired up. And I love spiritual dope. I think that's a great title for a podcast. So congrats,

Brandon Handley 0:35
man, I appreciate appreciate your huge inspiration as to why I am where I am today. And I think that your message will really resonate with the people that are listening to this podcast. And I always like to start these off with like, Hey, you know, God kind of talks to us, right? We're just we're just here, living out his message. Right? So in that vein, what's God saying to you today that my listeners need to hear?

Sam Crowley 1:00
Well, I think no matter where you've been, man, no matter how big of it, like I am the world's biggest screw up, you know, I've made way too many mistakes in my life and you know, too embarrassed to talk about most of them. We hide a lot from you know, our authenticity, because we're afraid that other people may not want to hear it or resonate with it. And you know, we end up tripping over our past man. And I'll tell you, if you and I'm not saying you got to put all your stuff out, you don't need to do that. But I just did a Facebook Live Video literally right, before we jumped on about this topic. So if I can share that if it's okay, I just yeah, absolutely just want to say that, you know, I help people really gain clarity and with their messages, you know, and people are like, Well, I'm not an A list celebrity or nobody knows me. And I'm not famous that. That's great. Like that works in your favor, because I don't know about you, but I am way past wanting to hear from Hollywood or a list celebrities about how to live my life, or who to vote for or anything like that. I just, I go to a movie, I want to watch a movie, you know, I want to learn from everyday people that are struggling, that are having financial relationship, money problems, not that they're whining on me, but they're one step ahead of where I am. So if I'm making 10 grand a month, I want to learn from somebody making 20 grand a month, if I'm in a, if I got a girlfriend, I want to learn how to make that person, my wife and how to treat her right. If I want a closer relationship with God, then I want to plug into somebody who doesn't need to be a pastor, just but somebody whose works have some messy stuff in their life. And they figured out how to just get through the valley, they haven't figured life out. I mean, nobody's got that figured out. So God places on my heart every day, watch what you say, Crowley because you're a loose cannon out there. Okay, the tongue can be used for good and not so good. It can be used to tear down it could be used to build up. So make sure you try as best you can. Because I know you're still gonna screw this thing up. But you got a podcast, it's been downloaded 20 million times you got a little bit of responsibility. Now you're not that bubble on a skillet, from way back in the day, who could just go all over the place. And so I just want everybody to know, your path should be celebrated that you're still here. You made it through. Nobody wants perfection. They just say they just want to know, can you get me from point A to point B, that's all anybody wants. They want to pay you to solve the current problem in their life. That is if it's cleaning your carpet, trimming your trees, coaching, building a website, figuring out a mortgage, that's all they want.

Brandon Handley 3:19
That's it, man. I love it. I love it. You know? And that was actually again, one of the things I loved about you, right? It was a week we connected you. You're promoting your podcast course. And I bet I was like that's it. I mean, this guy's got something I want, right? And that can get me somewhere. And that was the course. And then when I got the course, here, Sam Crowley shows up and like a baseball cap. And you know, there's a whiteboard flip chart, he's just doing your thing. And you look, it looked like I could do it. Right. I was like, Well, okay, that's the next step for me. How can I How can I move to what Sam's doing right and share at the same time share my message, right? I share this thing that's in my heart, finding, what is that thing in my heart, right? Because man, talk to me about how you know, give the audience here who doesn't know every day is Saturday, a little bit of background?

Sam Crowley 4:12
Well, my daughter back in the day, I was a corporate slave and I've been in the corporate game for 15 years, and I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. I was making about 110 grand a year salary, stock options, company car, all that stuff. But I had just become a dad recently, a few years prior to that. And my dad left me and my mom raising kids by herself. This was the late 60s I was born in 1968. My dad left you'd had he went crazy. just lost his mind left. My mom's raising kids so you know, welfare and all that stuff. Free cheese, goodwill, clothes, all that and you know a beaut alcoholic mom pretty abusive verbally, but I knew she loved me deep down knew she loved me. She never told me never heard it once from a parent in my life. Wow. Or you are loved and I searched for that my whole life. It has a lot to do with why sometimes I do. stupid things is because I'm looking for that acceptance. Because I never had a grown up, man. All I ever heard from my mom was I never asked for you, and I never wanted you. You know, that's what she told me a lot, you know, while she was on the ball. So I never held that against her though. So I said, God, if you ever get any kids, I'm just going to be the best part. I'm going to be that Dad, I'm going to be throwing the football, I'm going to be going to the games, the ballet, I'm going to be picking them up. And you know what, man? My daughters have never they don't even know me ever having a job. They don't recall me ever go into a job. And they don't ever resonate. They just know me as the guy that's into drop offline and the pickup line at school. And look, man, I am not you know, Mr. Mom, I've got a wife at 22 years, he does an amazing job. We have four daughters now. Youngest of which side story was born at 24 weeks one pound. And we didn't sleep for three years because the kid was in children's hospital. 221 days begging for life. When she comes home, we turn her house into a hospital. She was on a train ventilator and all of that. So you know, the everyday Saturday story, by the way, she's six years old. Now the happiest kid you'd ever seen no trick, no ventilator still has a little bit of a feeding tube stuttering problem, things like that. But she's built in the image of the Creator, just like you are just like every listener is built in the image of the Creator. You know, I'm a Christian. So I believe that we all have the Holy Spirit inside of us. And I think it would be a pretty cool conversation when we get to heaven. Everybody in the Old Testament, you got Moses, you got David, you got everybody like that. And, and they say, Man, what is it like to live with the Holy Spirit inside you? Hmm. We didn't have that before Christ, like, Whoa, that would be like, wow, you got all these people in the Old Testament would have loved have had the Holy Spirit, the Spirit Jesus left behind when he died on the cross inside of them. Were bulletproof man, you know, we're only here for a short period of time. That's why I walk around with kind of a chip on my shoulder not to be an ass but just to say Hey, man, I got the Holy Spirit inside of me I don't worry about finances, I have a little bit of anxiety, worry about my you know, but but that's what it means to me. And the whole everyday Saturday messages is an opportunity for me to show up as my real self. And I know I'm gonna make some people I'm pissing people off, I get it, I'm gonna acquire taste. And I'm not I'm not everybody's cup of tea, I get it. But I've been able to, you know, through only through the grace of God and the Holy Spirit inside of me to be able to build a movement here that people can resonate with and just allows them I teach people how to share a compelling story. That's it. I teach people how I do 10 minutes story, podcast, in my car in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot. And I've been doing it for 15 years. And that's really the crux of my business. It's so embarrassing. But it's what I do. Like that's all I do

Brandon Handley 7:42
not and it works for you. Right? I never knew the the part were never never caught that, you know, your mom never even said that. You know, I love you. That's tough, man. It's a tough way to tough way to grow up.

Sam Crowley 7:55
But you make you appreciate, it makes you appreciate because it makes you do a 180 in life. Like if you've been if you've been an alcoholic really makes you want when you finally get on that and you're sober for X amount of days, or you've been a drug addict or you've been up up, you've been addicted to porn. We all have addictions, man, I was addicted to money and ego and all that. But when you never hear I love you. You say it all the time to your kids when you don't have a drink? Or do you make sure you're more cognizant and forgiving of those that are going through tough times? I think it I'm not trying to go all you know the other way. But I really think it's a blessing if you can just look at it from that perspective, you know?

Brandon Handley 8:32
Well, yeah, I think that it's a it's a big challenge to to get to that point, right? You got to get you got to get to that point to be able to say, you know, everything that I went through was to prepare me for what I need to go through. Right, or to help other or to help others get through similar things, right? Be like, Hey, here's, here's a path forward, you know where you are, right? Now, if you're talking to somebody that's in a similar situation that you went through, be like, hey, there's, there's a way out. And here's what I found. That works for me, right? I love how you brought up like, you know, kind of the Holy Spirit, right? Being imbibed with that touch. I mean, I'm not 100% sure what you mean by that. So if you could tell the audience what that means to you, I'd love to love to share that.

Sam Crowley 9:08
What Jesus said that I leave my spirit with you when I die, I'm going to heaven. And I'm seated at the right hand of the cross. And I will come back again one day to judge the living and the dead, you know, and as Christians, we know that Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins we Christianity is not a deeds driven religion. You can't you know, you can't go and give money to the homeless or donate your clothes or say 10 our father's in a hail mary or anything like that. That's not getting you into God's already given us through the grace of his son's death. We have that tickets been punched. So it's not like you go out there and you don't act nice. It's just that it doesn't matter. Brandon, you could give all your money away all your earthly possessions away. I could go kill somebody and you and I are still getting into heaven. As long as I asked for forgiveness of my sins and accept Christ as my Savior. There are 10 commandments in the Bible. Thou shalt That steel is one of them. That you know. So if you steal $1 from somebody knowingly and I go kill someone, those are viewed equally in the Bible isn't as you've broken a commandment, there is no little white lie or venial sin or mortal sin, all stuff. So what it means to have the Holy Spirit inside of you is that you've got that power of Jesus Christ inside of you, doesn't mean you won't die of cancer. Now, I mean, that we have, it's a fallen world. That's the other side of the coin. You know, I've lost friends in my 30s and 40s, I lost my mom in 1997. I mean, I've had nasty things done to me, I've done nasty things to people. I mean, it's a fallen world, man, we also have this thing called free will, you know. But when you have the Holy Spirit inside of you, that means you have Jesus Christ himself inside of you. So when you have those bills that are sitting on your coffee table, and you just got laid off, it's not like it's a get out of jail free card, but it should allow you to rest in the peacefulness of Christ to know that we this is just a temporary gig, man, even if you live to the mortal age at 78, the average mortality in the US there, and I'll give you the exact analogy of a gentleman, this pastor, Francis Chan, who used this analogy, imagine a row that goes all around the world, millions and millions of times just this big row, and millions and millions and millions and millions of feet of this row, at the very beginning of this rope rain is just that red marker. And just like that just right, the very beginning. That's life on Earth. No, no rest of the rope represents eternity. So that's why, like I said, I get mad, I fly off the handle, you know, and I get anxious about stuff. But when you rest in the word, you're never anxious, because you're resting in Christ Himself. This is all just such a temporary gig, man. It is.

Brandon Handley 11:51
I love it. And I love the idea too, that you, you don't hide this from anyone. Right? Or at least back it up. Because when when I did, when I was, you know, a big listener of yours. You were, I think just kind of leading into sharing, you know, your Christianity like, full on like super hard, right? Like it was your it was it was the, you know, armor of God ages or whatever like that, right? Like, this is like you were just going full on. You talk about what it meant for you to incorporate that into your podcast. Well, you

Sam Crowley 12:28
know, I've always been a Christian was always like, I grew up Catholic. And then in 2005, I would, I would say, that's what most people would view as the word like being saved. Like you've accepted Christ into your heart, you know, and then around, you know, five years ago, or so when I was going through all this stuff with my daughter, I'm like, man, all I have all we had was faith. That's all we had. We didn't have anything other than our faith. I'm not, I don't know what to do with a kid born at one pound with a hole in her heart, several brain bleeds. I don't even know she can see me. I mean, what do you do with a kid at one time? All you have is faith in God that at that point, at least, that's all I had. So I started, you know, sharing more of it on social media. And then what's funny is I just did one town a lot. I sent an email out to my list, and I said, Hey, man, I gotta give praise to God. You know, I don't know if you guys get this, but I am a Christian. I believe in God, I just like everything I just told you, you know. And I had an email list of 39,000 people at the time, and I said, Hey, if you're on if you want to stay on my list, man, and you believe this message, you click this link. Well, 38,000 of them did. Okay. So my email is basically going from 39,000 to 1000. But my business increased that year. So I mean, look, I don't know, but I just, I'm not a preacher, Pastor, teacher,

Unknown Speaker 13:37
you know.

Sam Crowley 13:39
I mean, I think even Tony Robbins would acknowledge that all of the motivation that he says, or Jim Rohn, or Les Brown, it all comes from the Bible. It's all the parables that Tony talks about, and Jim Rohn if you've never listened to him on YouTube, it's a must listen. They all come from the Bible, Bob Proctor, they're all biblically based, you know? And so they're 66 of the best motivational books you'll ever hear all wrapped into one book called The Bible, and a lot of people butcher it. Like they'll say, money is the root of all evil. Well, no, the love of money is the root of all evil. Yeah, it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a wealthy man to get into heaven. Okay, but that's because money's reference. There's a reason why it's referenced more than any other phrase in the Bible, because God knew it would become an idol to us, you know. So I'm not a pastor. I'm just really in tune with the Christian message. And if anybody wants to talk about religion over a beer, a glass of mirlo, I'm that guy. If you want me to quote scripture, I'm not that guy, because I can barely quote it, but I know who wrote it. And I'm got a pretty good relationship with the guy, I think, you know, but I'm not here to bring anybody to Christ. I'm here. If anybody were to say, Hey, tell me more about it like you did.

Unknown Speaker 14:46
I'm here to tell you more about it.

Sam Crowley 14:47
But I think the worst thing we can do as Christians is to try to beat the fish into the boat and say, repent, repent, you know, your last day No, because people don't read. I think people resonate with more how you carry yourself, you know, then how you can Quotes scripture that actually turns me off on somebody does that like, quotes the Bible and throws it back at me, you know?

Brandon Handley 15:06
Now that can be that can be annoying, but it's funny. It's funny it's you bring up, you know Bob Proctor right. And and that line the the idea of people people don't resist change they resist being changed right from Bob Proctor like that's that's one of his lines the you know you brought up you bring it up like you know maybe your job is not to bring people to Christ but we you and I had a conversation where in that moment you felt like part of your role was to bring people to Christ. Even if you don't feel like that's your job? What does it mean to bring someone to Christ them?

Sam Crowley 15:41
Well, I think we have a mutual friend Adam, who thanked me because he claimed that I had brought him to Christ and he got baptized, and he let me know about it one day a few years ago saying, Hey, man, I got baptized, you know, you're the reason I came to Christ and like, Wow, that's pretty big deal, man. Like, I would give away all my money and all everything. God if some if I were to get that message, you know, because, as Paul says, and all the apostasy I mean, the reason they were persecuted, and all of that is because they want they were preaching the gospel, you know, and we're sick. We're the only reason we're here as Christians is to share the good news. But I gotta tell you, dude, I ain't going to Kroger in the produce section and sharing the good news with a stranger. I just don't do that. And I know I'm supposed to do that. But I just can't, I can't do that, you know. But to bring somebody to Christ is like, that is monumental. I mean, that is amazing. Because now you know that they have that everything I just talked about earlier, they have that they rest in that piece, and they have that relationship. And it's a personal relationship to everybody. That's why I'm not in your face. But it's personal to people. So, you know, if you are messing up, I'm not here to say, you know, stop watching the porn or stop stealing money or stop gambling or anything like that and say, Man, if you if you want to talk about it, if I can help you at all, I can share some great resources with you, but only when you're ready, because if you're not ready, it's just it has the opposite effect, you know.

Brandon Handley 17:02
Now, I like that a lot, too. I think that's almost fair to have some of these. I don't know, put ourselves out there some of these endeavors, right. But also be willing to take that step towards that if that's something that you think is good for you like, go go explore it and go find out what it's like. And again, go to somebody like Sam, or others, like, you know, for Christianity or podcasting and marketing, right. For me, I think I think a big part of this whole journey has been having faith in what's inside of me, right, the spirit that's inside of me, Holy Spirit, I guess, right. I think that I could make that linkage, feeling that and then stuffing, you know, this was another huge. I love that. I still like this is a lie that echoes from Sam's podcasts from back in the day, because when was the last time you stepped out in faith? Mm hmm.

Right.

Yeah. I'm sure he probably said it several times since since then on the podcast, but you know, you would hear Sam go When was the last time you stepped out? When is the last time you went out? You did something that you you believed in right. And in yourself, right. with purpose and passion does and Sam, if you haven't listened to Sam's podcast, this is something that he does very well. I told him I hadn't listened for a minute. And I picked up podcasts listen a few this morning. It seems like charging, charging, gung ho with everything. And then it was so much it was so much fun just to because you are motivational, you are inspiring. You know, I caught the one where you know, your daughter was being bullied. Yeah. Right. And just just how fired up and how authentic you are. On your podcast, when somebody you know, reaches out to where should they be in life? Or what should they be thinking when they reach out to Sam Crowley to have you coach them or mentor them for podcasting,

Sam Crowley 18:54
they got to be ready to step like you just said it step out. And a lot of people really, they just and I was that way to man, I'm not here again, you got to be ready, you got to you got to be ready to launch your message. And that sounds pretty, like scary. And what do I do? It's nothing. I mean, it's just let me help you gain clarity on what your message is, like I said, you could be a carpet cleaner, tree trimming trees, you could be a motivational speaker, whatever it is you want to do, but everything comes to us through the power of a story. And I teach people how to tell their story. So you got to be ready to create your million dollar message, and then learn how to make money with that message. And that's an organic play. It's not a push button. I mean, we can all buy Facebook ads, drive traffic to a funnel and then deal with all those numbers. I'm more of an organic guy where I like to build it from podcasting is my main thing, but you could do it on YouTube. You could do it on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, I mean, I'm just I focus on podcasts and because I've been doing it 15 years and I like to do simple, better. You know, if you talk about that one phrase right there, do simple better. So keep it simple and do it Better than everybody else. Don't keep you know, look squirrel, you know, and you go chase in 10 different things. It's just, I've seen that I've done it, how do I know what doesn't work? I've done all this stuff I talked about that doesn't work. The only way I know is because I've actually done it myself, you know? And so I've chased those squirrels to shiny objects thinking I'm gonna get on a webinar. Oh my god, I'm gonna do real estate liens and tax liens. And I'm gonna go do commercial real estate and I'm gonna go be an MLM. And I'm gonna have lotions, potions and pills in my basement. My I've done all that man. And you know what that works. There's billionaires in the MLM industry, you know, who isn't passionate about lotions, potions and pills, this guy, me, I wouldn't be good at it. Because I'm not passionate about it. You know what, I'm passionate about getting on a podcast with you and talking about stuff that's real. And, you know, when you talking about faith, a faith that's never been tested can't be trusted. So if you think that you're going to operate that faith muscle without ever stepping out, it ain't gonna work. Because if you've never tested it, how could you possibly trust it? You know,

Brandon Handley 20:59
always so much fun with Sam Crowley always so much fun. Sam, I know we've got kind of a short time period today. So I'm not going to try and drag anything out. You got time? Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, when I'm, when you also talked about being saved in 2005. Right. I'm curious what that look like and felt like for you?

Sam Crowley 21:21
Well, I had been through a bankruptcy. So I was humbled. Thank God when he's when you're ready to come to him. He I think he's gonna humble everybody. At some point in time. I had an ego the size of Montana. Like I said, I was running a $90 million corporate division here in Cincinnati. And I had all these employees problem was I had 20 college credits, most of them gym and health class. I was ill prepared to manage anybody. I couldn't get my dog to sit, let alone you know, get employees to listen to me. I was not a leader. I know. I am not john Maxwell. Okay. So I was just terrible, I think at what I did, but I was getting all these accolades and getting promoted, but I didn't have a passion for it. And it all came crashing down. I left and I thought there's going to be I bought a quiznos franchise and that what the hell I love went bankrupt, lost 300 grand, borrowed money from my sister lost that I had no money, man, no money, file bankruptcy October 11 2005. It was humbling. I didn't bankruptcy is like a scarlet letter. I thought you could just not ever recover. It's done, you're done. And I lost my job and why I left my job. But then I went back to my job three months later working for everybody that used to work for me. And that's when I would start going to church with my wife. And I'm like, Man, this is crazy. What's really putting her hand in the air? What we don't do that at cat like growing up Catholic. You don't talk in church? You know, what's that PowerPoint up there? Man? This is good. This is what is this a movie theater production or something? But then it started to work. And that's what God does. He starts to work on a broken heart, a broken person, you can't we got this facade up. You got that ego like I you know, you can't God can't go to work on you. But he will, he'll get to you. And he'll get to you through the crack in your armor. And we all got to crack an armor and heal us and Satan will get to you through the cracks in your armor to. And when Satan gets to you through pornography, through drugs through alcohol through money, he knows the crack in your armor, he will work that crap. God was looking for the light and he's looking to work with you and work on your heart. Satan's looking to do one thing that's all he can do is why he's got to lie. It's all he does is lie. The one trick that's the lie to you. So when I was saved, I accepted Christ. I said, Man, I can't do this anymore. I don't want the ego. I just don't want any I just want a relationship with God. Now I know why I'm here. And that's you know what happened?

Brandon Handley 23:34
as powerful I'd never heard that story from you before. So I appreciate you sharing that. When when you not now you're not you're full in right. Do you feel like your business is more fulfilling? Because you've got your spirituality? Lead on it?

Sam Crowley 23:50
I think so. Yeah. I mean, look, I don't have it figured out. I feel like you know, I have I listen to great podcast elevation church, Steven furtick in North Carolina. I love my favorite podcast. I listened to a lot of spiritual things like that audio books to keep my mind where it needs to be. And here's the thing I do have that I don't think I used to have is when I feel myself straying off course. God brings me back and look keep the main thing the main thing remember your dad your husband? Yeah, you know, this business isn't everything cuz? Look, I have ups and downs like everybody does in business and relationships and you know, finances all that stuff and health. But I feel like you know, now at least I've got kind of an internal GPS guiding me. I didn't know that before.

Brandon Handley 24:39
You mentioned like the health part. I know. I remember. One of the big parts too. When we first connected you were doing 100 laps, I think through the pool. Right? And that's, that's actually what I mean. I ended up doing it too, which is really funny. I ended up you know, swimming and doing a triathlon and, and getting healthy. You know, how's that tying into to kind of everything you're Going to

Sam Crowley 25:00
Well, my wife and I joined this eight week fitness group six weeks ago and I weighed 210. But I've kind of purpose because I drove the car off the cliff with food night before I started going out to a big dinner and my wife and I weighed in at 210. down to 190. It's only been five weeks. We're on week six. Now, my wife and I've grown very close together through this because we're doing it together. I did drag her kicking and screaming. My wife is not overweight. She's like, I don't want to do this belly. Come on, let's do it. But she feels amazing. We feel amazing. We've gone closer we eat together now breakfast, lunch, dinner, because we got to eat the same types of foods and stuff. And I always think that, you know, health is so amazing. I'm 52 years old man. I feel like I'm 25 I'm not really I'm not just saying I really do I feel the aches and pains. And I get up a little bit in the morning that I didn't when I was younger, but I mean, I'm running three, four times a week I'm lifting three times a week. I feel like I could you know, get in a ring with a gorilla and beat the crap out of them. And I feel like I can outrun Roger Bannister, man, you know all of this at the same time. And I say all that jokingly because I can't do any of that. But health wise. Right now I feel I'm just getting healthier and stronger and my mind is sharper. And for example, I gave up cream. I never had sugar. I gave up sugar a long time I gave up sugar and pasta A long time ago still eat bread sometimes. Well, now I'm drinking black coffee. I'm not a black coffee guy at all like I can I wanted to vomit on the first day. I thought I'd have to have black coffee. Well not you get a little bit of you know, flavored coffee like cinnamon or snickerdoodle. Something like that. It doesn't count against you. It's all about that intermittent fasting. You know what I mean? Sure. So I'm a black coffee guy. Now I'll never go back to cream. I haven't had cream in six weeks. I haven't had sugar in six weeks outside of fruit. You know, natural sugar.

Unknown Speaker 26:42
Feeling amazing.

Brandon Handley 26:44
Imagine imagine putting cream in your wine. That's what you'd be doing now. Right? That's what it's like. I mean, cuz I've been a black coffee guy for years. And like, really? Oh, yeah. When I see put people put cream and sugar. I'm like, that's a Why would you ruin a good coffee?

Sam Crowley 26:56
Dude, you should go to Dunkin because there are people who get 1213 sugars. Okay, I don't know if you've seen it. But I was in line the other day at Dunkin getting a black coffee leaf. Yeah, five sugars and on a Carmel swirl coffee which is all sugar itself. She leaves I go Oh my gosh. I said to the girl with it. Five sugar. She was a guy before he had 13 I go 13.

Unknown Speaker 27:19
How to how do you even drink coffee with 13 sugars? stick with what we're doing to our body? Yeah.

Brandon Handley 27:26
All that all that inclusive. All that included? So you mentioned you mentioned a couple of podcasts and what are some audibles? I guess that you like to keep your spirituality Mojo going,

Sam Crowley 27:40
like audio books or podcasts or

Brandon Handley 27:42
audio books, podcasts, resources that if you know the people looking for a spiritual bump, or as I like to call it spiritual dope, get their hit. Where would they go? Like what do you like?

Sam Crowley 27:54
Well, I think there's a few Steven furtick. There's my number one, like I said, elevation church. I love it. Chris vallotton has some great audio books. The one I listened to recently was called poverty, riches and wealth. It's v as in Victor al L. Ott, O n Kris vallotton. Chris with a K. K ri s. And that's a great audio book. It's a biblically based book about poverty, riches and wealth. And it doesn't make you feel ashamed for being a wealthy Christian. Alright? Because God, God, God wants us to be prosperous. He just doesn't want us to idolize money. That's all. And so look, if there weren't any wealthy Christians, churches wouldn't be built hospital England and get funded things like that, you know, we need very, very wealthy people who know how to use that money for God's kingdom. So those are the types of audible audios that I search for our wealthy, both. I don't mean wealthy, just money wise, I mean, wealthy, but I'm not going to listen to somebody who says give all your money away. God doesn't want you to buy That's crazy. You know, God, we can't money is just a tool. It doesn't like the old adage I don't know who said it, but the government can sure knows how to ruin a good piece of paper, put an egg on it, you know, money.

But, you know,

it's just I like wealthy Christians who do good things. I mean, Rick Warren wrote Purpose Driven Life, you know, and that guy, reverse tide is 90% of his money gives away lives on 10%. Now I understand 10% of 10 million or whatever, the guy has a lot of money, but still, he's given away how many other people could make that much money and give away 90% you know, so those are the types of teachings I like to listen to.

Brandon Handley 29:29
And that's powerful. That's powerful. Reminds me of a good a Buddhist Reverend on I talked to him every once in a while. And he talks about being able to give with wisdom, right? Not just not just like, give it all away. But to be able to give and know that it's going to a place that it's going to have an impact. It's like an investment in society. Right. where's this going to best? best best? best play out? Is it brother I don't have a whole lot for you today, man. It's been a minute I wanted to go. Yeah, well wanted to get you on and just, you know, thank you again for being the inspiration that you were, and are, and you continue to be for others and what it looks like to, you know, be a shining light and have a flourishing business. And that's something I think you've exemplified.

That's awesome, man. No, that's great. That's great. And the guys guys and girls. You know, Sam has been doing it for a long time. He is a coach for Tony Robbins. Right. Can I say that? You know, they're coaches on a podcast. Yeah. So I mean, you know, it's not like he's some dude, just like he may be doing I was basement and he is definitely like, is out there in a car in front of dunkin donuts. But uh, you know, you know, reach out to him because he's legit. He's been doing it for a long time. And if you've got a message that's on your heart, he can help you get that out there. And the part about like, it had been handheld, like to get through it. And with that kind of plan. That's awesome. Sam, thanks for putting that out there for people back. Being a good student. Dude. I remember when we I remember when we started working together three years ago. And I know that you were a bit apprehensive. I just know you were when we first started working together. Who's this guy? What am I getting myself into and look where we are over three years still friends, you know,

Sam Crowley 31:54
talk, and we respect each other. And that's what happens when you get into a concurrent relationship with people on the internet. You know, you can have these long lasting friendships, and somebody can still pay you money. And that doesn't mean you look at them with $1 sign on their forehead, we you know, we'll be talking for a long time to come. So don't be afraid to put your message out there. you'll attract individuals like I attracted Brandon. And here we are three and a half, almost four years later, still in touch with each other. That's the power of building friendships out of client relationships.

Unknown Speaker 32:25
Agree? Yeah.
