It’s not lack of effort. It’s scattered attention. Most people think they have a motivation problem. What they really have is an attention problem. Their mind is in 10 places at once. Phone buzzing, email popping, three projects half done, thinking about yesterday while trying to work on today. And when your attention is scattered, your energy goes with it.

I saw this with a coaching client just the other day, actually a couple weeks ago, who runs a solid business, smart guy, driven, but he felt like he was spinning his wheels. So we looked at it… So we looked at his day. Email every five minutes, jumping between task to task, taking calls in the middle of deep work.

He wasn’t lazy. He was fragmented. So we made one adjustment, two protected blocks of focused work each day. Phone away, notifications off, o- one target. Within three weeks, his mom- momentum came roaring back, because high performers don’t win big by doing more things. They win by directing their attention with discipline.

And if your attention is [00:02:00] scattered, your results will be scattered. But when your focus gets tight, your momentum gets dangerous. And talk about dangerous and momentum in the B7, man. Today’s guest challenges one of the biggest myths in personal development. Most people think success comes from motivation, hype, and inspiration.

But my guy, David Fulmer, who’s, , I’ve just found out off mic, he’s my brother from another mother. He believes that exactly why so many people s- that’s exactly why so many people stay stuck. David is the creator of B7, the superhuman rhythm, a human development framework designed to help people stop relying on motivation and start building something far more powerful, consistent internal rhythm.

His work centers on aligning mind, body, discipline, and purpose through repeatable practices that create clarity, resilience, and long-term effectiveness. Instead of chasing motivation, David teaches people how to build structure that carries them through chaos, pressure, and change. The B7 rhythm organ- organizes personal growth into seven intentional anchors throughout the week.

Practice like reflection, gratitude, evaluation, forgiveness, and purpose- purposeful action, helping [00:03:00] people stay grounded and intentional no matter what life throws at them. With decades of experience in human development and behavior-based growth, David brings a grounded and practical approach to transformation, the kind that isn’t flashy but actually works.

If you want to sharpen your discipline, master your habits, and build a life that runs on purpose instead of emotion, you’re in the right place. And David, thank you so much for coming on. My boy is probably eight hours behind me out there in Hawaii. Thank you for coming on. Introduce yourself to Time to Shine Today Podcast Varsity Squad.

But David, first, what’s your favorite color and why? 

David Fullmer: My favorite color is, would absolutely be blue 

Coach Fergie: Imagine that in Hawaii. 

David Fullmer: Yeah. 

Coach Fergie: Love it, man It’s ’cause of 

David Fullmer: the ocean. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. I love 

David Fullmer: the ocean. 

Coach Fergie: But I gotta tell you, man, I think that you’re more of a purple dude, and I’ll tell you why. You and I were talking off mic, , and it’s like you’re blue and you’re chill.

But you have a switch. What I’m saying? If it has to be flipped, right? You’ve did so much work to get back to it, but you have that red and that blue, that makes you purple, man. So I’m hanging purple on you, brother. 

David Fullmer: It [00:04:00] was my longest belt in jujitsu. I was a purple belt for seven years.

Coach Fergie: Oh, nice, man. So- Nice. What are you now? 

David Fullmer: I, what am I now? 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: Yeah, I’m brown belt. So- 

Coach Fergie: Nice … I’ve got- And who, who are you under? 

David Fullmer: Got about another eight months to be a black belt, 

Coach Fergie: Hell yeah. Hell yeah. W- who you training under? 

David Fullmer: W- it’s Sunset Beach Jujitsu, Jeff Donner. 

Coach Fergie: Jeff Donner? Okay. That rings a bell.

I’m under Erik Alquin, who’s under the Machida. Yeah. So that’s awesome, man. Good deal. You gotta get a roll in- Yeah … man, when we get, if I get out there. You’re gonna have to twist my arm and fly me out, bro. That’s awesome. So let’s get to the roots, man. Like you, you lived… and I don’t want you to hold back, dude, and I know you’re not a, “Woe is me, oh my gosh, look what happened to me,” kind of thing.

You’re real deal. You faced it. But I want you to take us back, man, and give us, put us in that place where you were before and give us a little bit of a journey of how you got to where you’re at. 

David Fullmer: I, as, my, I come from a family of 13 kids, so you can imagine there’s a lot going on. And my dad was like a traveling salesman and we moved around a lot. [00:05:00] Unfortunately, my, my dad went from job to job. But during the course of his job, I think we lived in , six different states, and I moved probably 27 times by the time I was- You 

Coach Fergie: said- … 

David Fullmer: 17. 

Coach Fergie: Wow. Wow. Wow. 

David Fullmer: And yeah, and I…

, it was rough for me growing up around the beach, and then we moved to Utah, and I just- 

Coach Fergie: Wow, that’s way different, dude. 

David Fullmer: Total culture shock. It was… I was the troubled kid and- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: a little bit. And so it just unfortunately got… fortunately, but unfortunately, both.

It’s a double-edged sword. It made me who am I am. But, Yeah … got involved in drugs and alcohol at a very young age, around 11, 12. And just didn’t get out of it. Got really deep and started getting into trouble. And around 13 and a half, 14, the, the state of Utah took me from my family, from my parents, and I got put in youth corrections custody.

Coach Fergie: Okay. 

David Fullmer: And so I went to four different youth programs. I think I got locked up 12 times or something like that. And- Wow … [00:06:00] and, But during the course of that, when I moved to Utah, my, I met my best friend in junior high, and he was a, a local Tongan boy from Hawaii. And, Wow … fortunately, what a blessing it is, I met him and 

Coach Fergie: kind of- Wait, you met him in Utah, D?

Did you meet him in Utah? 

David Fullmer: Yeah, I met him in Utah. So he was born in Hawaii, and he went and lived with- in Tonga ’cause his dad was- Yeah … helped with the boxing out there- Yeah … for the Tongan national team. And then- Yeah, 

Coach Fergie: dude. Yeah … m- 

David Fullmer: moved back to Utah, and then we met. I had just moved from California, he moved from Utah.

We met, and it was like it w- we were cut from the same cloth. Bro- 

Coach Fergie: It’s like bromance right away, right? 

David Fullmer: Yeah, just rugged. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: Just loving people. Like- Man … everybody come and eat. , I had 13 kids in my family, so the Polynesian families are really big and really giving- Yeah … and so I was just used to that vibe.

Coach Fergie: So- That Tongan, that, that… They’re legit. They have each other’s backs, and they’re very protective. And if they like you, they’ll protect you, too. I’ve noticed that as well, what I’m saying? So [00:07:00] back in the day, like in… I used to work at bars in San Diego. , I used to drive up to Ken Shamrock’s place and go to the Lion’s Den back, way back in the day, and then go to the Gracie’s in Torrance.

And it was a whole military thing, though. We got extra training and then come back. But the Tongans were the coolest dudes, man. Just didn’t mess with them, bro. Yeah. You know what I’m saying? That’s awesome. So do you think that with the… And I’m not trying to be all Dr. Freud on you here, but with 13 kids, that’s a lot of kids.

Is- d- think some of your stuff was, like, attention-seeking back then? Kind of like, dude, it’s like you’re doing stuff because you’re not getting what a kid is supposed to get? Now, that actually isn’t an excuse to you. I’m just asking maybe in that moment 

David Fullmer: No, I think the moving around and never really…

i, all of us kids were close to each other. My mom and dad b- both had the kids. It’s not a blended family. So my mom bore 13 children. 

Coach Fergie: That’s crazy. 

David Fullmer: I love that. She was amazing. Unconditional love, amazing human being. But my dad was g- came and went a little bit. But- Yeah … I just think when you have that many kids you’re bound to get a [00:08:00] couple…

i’m kind of the black sheep, and you’re bound to get one out of the bunch- Yeah … that’s… And I just, I was an angry little kid. I never really had a friend, and I would move from neighborhood to neighborhood, and it seemed like anyone I got close to was ripped out of my life and- 

… 

David Fullmer: And so when I fell in love with the ocean coming of age, ’cause my dad was a surfer, and then we moved to Utah, it was just like, “Oh, no way.”

I’m like, “I’m over this.” And so I just- … was angry and- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: took it out on everybody and anything, and I was on a war path and I paid some consequences for it- Yeah … and went away for a long time and, But like I was saying, I was fortunate to have my friend JJ. He, his dad was able to adopt me, and I moved to Hawaii and sat on the beach here and evaluated my life.

Yeah. About two weeks after I moved to Hawaii six of my friends got messed up and someone getting killed, and they all went to prison, and it was just an aha moment for me to say, , “What if I would’ve been with them?” , Of course I wouldn’t do anything like that, [00:09:00] but what if I was just standing by them?

And a couple of my friends, one of them was definitely headed to the NFL, and he got pulled into the mix, and it ruined his whole football career, and he didn’t- he was just standing there. 

Coach Fergie: Wow. 

David Fullmer: ? And just an eye-opener, and that, when I started digging into my old existing shelf space and blood memories from a kid.

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: And my dad was one of the first 30 employees of Stephen Covey that wrote the S- Seven Habits- That’d be crazy … of Highly Effective People. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah, man. 

David Fullmer: And I started going back into the zone, and it was like I remember all the things my dad said and a- all the seminars I went to. I was- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah

David Fullmer: in these seminars, Fortune 500 CEOs, and I’m in the back stealing donuts and coffee, but it rubbed- 

Coach Fergie: That’s so crazy. It 

David Fullmer: rubbed 

Coach Fergie: off on me. You picked up on it though, bro, and I love that- Yeah … you’re taking Stephen Covey’s number four, , begin with the end in mind. You your name’s not plastered every- everything.

It’s Be Seven. What I’m saying? It’s like time to shine today. It’s like you don’t see Scott Ferguson on anything, man. ? Yeah. ‘Cause one day you’re gonna sell Be Seven for millions. What I’m saying? Yeah. You will, [00:10:00] 100%. Where it’s going, the trajectory it’s on, and your presence that you have and your stage, you’re gonna cash.

And I’m glad that you… stephen Covey is… Okay, Stephen Covey to me is a little dry compared to other people, but the information that he has is priceless. It’s awesome. Yeah. So let’s, so you went through the, the young times, and they made you who you are. We’re not gonna say woe is me, but they made you who you are.

David Fullmer: Yeah. 

Coach Fergie: So let’s move into fast-forward a, a little bit more, like, where you got to now, where you’re, , helping people go to the next level. Like, where you’re, like, really pouring into people, and there’s one question I want to start this with. Do you… Are… Like, you use rhythm a lot, right? So is it safe to say that you think, like me, that balance is kind of junk?

That like you need something rhythm. Like I’m harmonic. The name of my book coming out is Harmonic Hustle, right? Yeah. So I believe in harmony. Like a jazz band. Yeah. Yeah. If you and I, like you might not like jazz, but I like jazz, right? But the God or your spiritual might be the drums. Yeah. Your personal growth might be the piano.

And on through family, but [00:11:00] if one of them’s out of tune it sounds like junk. But you tune it up with a coach. Like you said, stuff like that, you get back in rhythm or harmony. Am I saying that right? Like from what I- Yeah … the deep dive I did on you. Is that… Am I hearing it? 

David Fullmer: Yeah.

Coach Fergie: Okay. 

David Fullmer: Yeah, bal- yeah. You’re saying… and it’s different how people put balance in a box. That’s how you look at balance. But I like to use it as rhythm, like you said, like harmony. 

Coach Fergie: Love 

David Fullmer: it, dude. A, a plane. The cr- the crazy thing is a plane to the mainland is an hour different than a plane back to Hawaii.

It’s the same plane, Scott. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. Yeah. 

David Fullmer: It’s the same plane. Same passengers, same fuel, same pilot, same distance. Why is it an hour different at 500 miles an hour? And it’s because there’s a headwind versus a tailwind. And so many people go through life just, ah, just in this crazy mode of expending all this energy that they- they don’t understand how to time travel. How time travel happens, like I just [00:12:00] explained the plane, is you get yourself in a rhythm. You create processes in your life, not like these strict corporate processes, these organic lo- things that you should be doing and you love, and getting in a rhythm.

And over a sh- very short period of time, we start to see our lives unfold into this beautiful symphony of life. These, these things that are not just “Oh, that’s a coincidence.” No, that was a miracle, and it’s all because I tuned myself in. And so that’s where B7 came about is it’s like I went to a lot of seminars.

I’ve read dozens and dozens of books on personal development. Mark Aurelius, I forgot to show you my art, my- Oh, 

Coach Fergie: yeah, dude. 

David Fullmer: Yeah … my case of books that I have. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: I love thinking. And I love I love that mindset type way of living where you’re never the same person you were 30 seconds ago, and every decision you make, it’s what I’m becoming, not what I’m making.

Coach Fergie: Yes. Yes. 

David Fullmer: And , I g- I [00:13:00] went to all these seminars, like I was saying and it was like there was four steps to this, three steps to that, but it didn’t… I- you would forget it, or how do you mingle them? And so I said, , I was always having Whisper Wednesday, and then- I read a report one time that Monday morning more heart attacks happened from 6:00 AM to noon 

Coach Fergie: Keep going with the 

David Fullmer: Monday.

And I was like- I watch 

Coach Fergie: you talk about this. Keep going, man. 

David Fullmer: Listen to this, go on, listen to it … yeah, and I’m like, wait a minute. Yeah. It’s not your, it’s not your blood pressure, it’s not your ethnicity. It’s simply because as a human you don’t know why you’re on the planet Earth. That’s… it’s that simple.

Your program’s gonna work on Monday, 

Coach Fergie: right? ‘

David Fullmer: Cause if why you’re here… Yeah. Yes. If why you’re here- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: then you’re gonna stay. 

Coach Fergie: Love it. Yes. 

David Fullmer: And so- 

Coach Fergie: Keep going. Preach, brother. Keep going. 

David Fullmer: Yeah … it blew my mind and I was like, , Mondays were always the mundane hard days. And so that was motivation Monday.

But you can’t live on just motivation. There was a time in my life where I’d just go from motivational thing to thing, and I never got things moving. 

And so what I mean by [00:14:00] motivation Monday is it’s really the day to evaluate your why. Okay? And that’s… , we go through the whole goal set.

This is the time that you review all your short, long-term, and midterm goals. It’s a day to listen to your dead mentors. It’s a day to listen to ins- inspirational stories that move you. Okay? And the equivalent… I liken it to your vehicle to where you wanna go in life. I don’t care if it’s your profession as a pro- professional athlete, basket weaver- , musician, anything is, , you’ve got to get really stoked about where you’re going.

But that, that thing that you wanna go after is your vehicle. That’s what you’re going, you’re driving to get to this, this ar- this zone, right? 

Coach Fergie: Yeah, dude. 

David Fullmer: And you gotta charge it. And so all motivation is really to me is a charging station, but if you never get out on the roads of life, you’re just gonna keep overfilling your battery- Yeah

blah, blah, blah. And so when I went through I, I knew that on Monday, and then Wednesday, [00:15:00] growing up in a religious family, I was inactive from my church for till I was 23 years old, but we were, , pushed to go to church on Sunday. And I was kinda always upset why is Sunday this big day?”

And then that’s when it hit me, ’cause I used to do whis- Whisper in the Wind Wednesday. And then I thought what if every day, because we have these 1,000-year brain tracks as human beings, , the average human alive today has 4,098 grandmas and grandpas, and their DNA’s in you, Scott.

Think of that. 

Coach Fergie: 100%. Dude. 

David Fullmer: And their vibration is in you. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: So if they lived seven days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, what if they experienced, what if the human experience through this seven-day rhythm that we keep reliving, what if we have these common threads? And I’ll… When I went down this rabbit hole, I was like, oh my…

It was like, poof, the brain is gone, dude. It was like, it was just like- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: it’s like God- Yeah … grabbed [00:16:00] my lid, peeled it open and said, “Check this out.” 

Coach Fergie: Foom. Check it out, bro. Yeah. And it’s crazy ’cause I love it that you have rhythm, ’cause a lot of people will not believe in what they can’t see. People will be, “I’ll see it when I believe it.” , I believe… we say we believe it when we see it, right? We actually- Correct … we… Or I’m sorry, we see it when we believe it. We actually believe something. And a lot of people I love clients of mine, especially in Palm Beach, that have a grand piano in their house where I can coach them, and they have a hard time really digging into the rhythm or harmony of things, right?

But if you… They have a crystal chandelier that’s probably a million bucks, right? And you hit a key on the piano. That chandel- the chandelier’ll move, right? So there’s that energy that’s going back- Yes … and forth throughout this earth that you’re talking about with your dead mentors, your ancestors.

And also, I walk barefoot every day, and my neighbors are like, “Dude, what are you doing?” But also, I know that lightning is hitting this earth at least 11,000 times a second somewhere, and I just want a little bit of that in me. That’s it. You know what I’m saying? 100%. Just a little bit, dude. ?

So that’s where it kinda [00:17:00] comes in. But let me s- let me ask something. Dude, if someone followed you around for 48 hours, right? Trying to steal your discipline, right? Good luck keeping up with you, right? But, what’s the one thing that they would realize you do differently than most people? 

David Fullmer: I go out of my way to absolutely interact with every human being I come in contact with- Yeah

because I understand that y- our time is so limited and the human experience is just, it’s so fragile. Ooh. It’s here, and then it’s gone. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: And I think if you’re gonna spend time with me, you’re gonna get to know a lot of other human beings. Dude, I love this. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: and we’re gonna c- we’re gonna ask them if it’s Whisper Wednesday, we’re gonna talk to them about intuition.

I’m gonna listen to the whisper. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: If it’s Thankful Thursday like today, it’s a day of gratitude. ? Yeah. I’m gonna thank everybody that I see. But yeah, I’m just gonna… that’s definitely one thing and just on the move, going. Getting up and moving your body. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah, [00:18:00] motion’s lotion, baby.

David Fullmer: Yeah. ? Love it. Just keeping it moving to the next. Yeah. Boom. Make sure- 

Coach Fergie: How old are you, David? Can I ask you that? 

David Fullmer: How old am I? Yeah 47. 

Coach Fergie: Okay, so we’re… I’m 54, so we’re in the same cloth. What I’m saying? We’re in the same, that Generation X, where we wore no helmets, , we’d jump our bikes off ramps made with plywood and, , milk crates and stuff like that.

But look it, we’re good. That’s awesome. I- that’s- I was wondering, like man, me and this guy, like we’re brothers from another mother. We are cut, dude. So many of our stories line up, and I love this. So I gotta a- so my why, okay? I’ll- I’m gonna tell you my why. If, , if you’re asking me about…

My why is to be useful, and I also have another why. It’s like, why would God or my creator give me anything if I’m not taking care of what I have, right? Being grateful, like you said, Thankful Thursdays, being grateful for what I have. God shouldn’t give me any more, right? So that’s another one of my whys, and I have a New Year’s resolution I make every year, i- to make someone smile every day, right?

And that, that kind of goes along with your whispering maybe Wednesdays. And then also that [00:19:00] unless you hurt me, unless I hurt you, disrespect you, owe you, or judge you, I don’t care what you think about me. You know what I’m saying? ‘Cause like you, I pour into people. I- Yeah … want to m- y- your- There’s 

David Fullmer: an old saying, there’s an old saying, what you think of me is none of my business.

Coach Fergie: Oh my gosh, dude. I’ve never heard that, but that’s- Yeah. … that’s awesome, dude. So what you think of me is none of my business. Okay. I love it. 

David Fullmer: What you, yeah, basically what you said, like what you think about me is none of my bus- I make decisions based on what’s right- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: not who’s right. It doesn’t matter.

Coach Fergie: And if I 

David Fullmer: hurt you- ‘Cause 

Coach Fergie: it, it’s gonna- … I’m gonna say I’m sorry. 

David Fullmer: Yeah. But- it’s not a popularity contest. Love this. It’s a superhuman contest. That’s right. And we’re all on the race to be superhuman. 

Coach Fergie: I love it, man. So what would they see? What would they see if they followed you around 48 hours, man?

Like what, like they… I know what it’d be like, just because you and I’d probably be trying to out-compete- Well, it’s- … each other on serving.

David Fullmer: I have a thing called the AM/PM game. Love it. Yeah. And it, a Harvard study did a really good study on some of the greatest, highl- highest level humans to come out of [00:20:00] the college over 26 years or something, and the most common denominator they had is they all got up early in the morning, and they all had daily disciplines, daily to-do lists- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah, baby

David Fullmer: and midterm and long-term goals. I always tell people, , that get frustrated with their goals, “Oh, I didn’t end up where I thought I…” That’s fine, but you did end up somewhere better than you were, and- 

Coach Fergie: Yes … 

David Fullmer: we always, I always say shoot for the moon, land on Everest. Yeah. It’s a beautiful view.

But we’d be get- we’d be getting up at 5:30, I guarantee that. We have 15 minutes of meditation, 15 minutes of scripture and meditation and prayer- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: to my creator, my, my heavenly Father, and my King, Jesus Christ. Savior, 

Coach Fergie: baby. Yeah. 

David Fullmer: And then it’s a detailed thing from my tonic that I drink, and then I go on my walk, and then I come back from my walk.

Tell me about your tonic. 

Coach Fergie: What’s 

David Fullmer: the tonic? What’s that? 

Coach Fergie: What’s in the tonic? 

David Fullmer: Dude, I got the ninja tonic, Scott. You’re gonna love this one. 

Coach Fergie: Let’s hear it. This is my 

David Fullmer: fun month. So I boil lemons with the rind. 

Coach Fergie: Okay Yep. It [00:21:00] froze up a little bit … 

David Fullmer: okay, water. Okay Then I put in a bunch of honey, apple cider vinegar- Dude

turmeric- Dude … and cinnamon, and a bunch of cayenne pepper. 

Coach Fergie: Dude, fat burning, dude, 

David Fullmer: that is- Cayenne pep- yeah. Then I put it in a big jar, heat it like crazy, and then I put it in the fridge, and then you shoot that tonic every morning. Bro, you it gets you on 

Coach Fergie: Dude, that is exactly, minus the turmeric exactly.

I do two ounces distilled water, a tablespoon- There you go … of apple cider vinegar, tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, not out of the thing. But I actually squeeze it. I put 1/8 teaspoon of pink Himalayan sea salt in it, a little bit of- Yeah. Oh, 

David Fullmer: That’s one thing I miss, sea 

Coach Fergie: salt. Yeah. Yeah, I put sea salt, too

cayenne pepper for the fat- Yep … burning process. Every once in a while, I might get a little garlic clove in there with some honey, but usually just, I, that, that might be just once or twice a week. But I slam it. That is literally the first thing I do in the morning. 

David Fullmer: Yeah. 

Coach Fergie: I swear. Then tomorrow morning, I’m gonna show you.

Be like, “Dude, I’m up.” It’ll be, like, 1:00 your time. But, But no, [00:22:00] seriously, dude, that’s amazing that you do that. That’s awesome. So who was your kind of mentor when it came into personal development, man? Because, like me, I was blessed to actually personally know Tony, right, Robbins, like, because of, who his assistant is a friend, right?

So I really got to I didn’t get to work with him until later in life, but to really dig in I dug into him big time, right? Tony Robbins was, like the guy. And then I got Andy Andrews, Bob Burg down, stuff like that. But who’s the guy? I know Co- you mentioned Covey. But who e- who else?

David Fullmer: The, my dad mentor, my dad had when we were cruising around, my dad, he had the Jim Rohn tapes. 

Coach Fergie: Dude. Yeah. 

David Fullmer: So Jim Rohn was probably my big introducer to personal development, what got me to Earl Shoaff, and Napoleon Hill, and Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca, and Epictetus, and- 

Coach Fergie: Seneca’s my favorite, bro. 

David Fullmer: Yeah. I- 

Coach Fergie: Like- 

David Fullmer: I just can’t- Your upbringing- 

Coach Fergie: Yep

is not 

David Fullmer: going to dictate- … listen to him enough 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. Seneca- 

David Fullmer: So- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. [00:23:00] Have you… You know what? The, it’s funny, I just had to show you this. This is what was in my playlist this morning. It’s Jim Rohn’s Power of Ambition. Seriously- Yeah … lu- walking my pit bull, man. 

David Fullmer: We had those tapes. Yeah. I had- You had 

Coach Fergie: the 

David Fullmer: tapes?

We had the tapes. I had the full-on cassette tapes- That’s awesome, dude … of Jim Rohn. 

Coach Fergie: That’s 

David Fullmer: awesome. 

Coach Fergie: So- 

David Fullmer: Yeah. So that was kinda my, my start in it. But I was always interested in the human experience. I always, deep down, I always wondered why you could have a family and you could have a very, the exact same environment, couple families all living in the same neighborhood, but one of the kids is really super successful- Yep

and goes places, and another just seems to- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: not, or not want to or what. And so the, all this different mindset things really blew me away. And- 

Yeah, and then I was found out about 10 years ago, and this was 10 years ago, they say you’ll affect around 40,000 people in your lifetime for good or for bad.

Coach Fergie: Sure. 

David Fullmer: And I, that was just always weighed on my heart, and I start… , i was coming into an awareness that every [00:24:00] decision I make will have a ripple effect in the time of humanity. 

Coach Fergie: Absolutely. 

David Fullmer: And when we start thinking like that it really starts to light a fire underneath you, and a lot of things can happen.

So an above average can… Man, you can change millions of lives. So my impact statement by 2030 is to personally change the lives of five million people, and so I’m going after it. Yeah. I’m running after it. 

Coach Fergie: 100%, man. I’m gonna take care of a lot, at least 100,000 of them here with this podcast. So we’re gonna get you out in front of my squad that I’m blessed to have, right?

, Y- you studied the rhythm in human behavior. What’s one thing about you that might drive your family members a little crazy? ? Or the people around you. What might people misunderstand about David? ‘Cause trust me, I can go on and on about me, brother, right? But you and I we’re aligned.

But what other people might misunderstand about you, brother? 

David Fullmer: Probably just driving them to be absolutely better- For the best? … better than they currently are. I can’t enter a [00:25:00] room and just sit there and not be like, “All right, what’s our next move, guys?” 

Coach Fergie: Oh my God.

David Fullmer: , what’s the next hill to climb? 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: And there’s just no marinating. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: , I keep it moving. And so that can be annoying, ’cause I have eight brothers, and there’s only two above me, and so they’re always calling me and I’m breaking down. We, we get on the phone calls and break down what’s the next move and what’s going on.

But I’m sure it can be frustrating to them. 

Coach Fergie: I love it. Let’s… Y- you’ve seen the movie Back to the Future? 

David Fullmer: Yeah. 

Coach Fergie: Okay, let’s give that DeLorean with Marty McFly, right? Let’s go back to the double deuce, to 22-year-old David, right? What kind of knowledge nugget might you drop on him, right? Not to so much change anything, ’cause you had to go through what you went through to get to who you are.

Yeah. And it’s a beautiful thing. But to maybe help him shorten a learning curve a little bit, blast through. Maybe quicker. What might you tell him? 

David Fullmer: So you say 22. I actually moved back to Utah at age 22. 

Coach Fergie: Okay. 

David Fullmer: And in my early [00:26:00] 20s, and my parents went through a divorce. And my, my mom and dad, unfortunately, my dad broke the cardinal, one of the cardinal rules of marriage.

Understood, 

Coach Fergie: yep. And, 

David Fullmer: , We f- we love him, we forgive him, but unfortunately he had to be held accountable for that- Yes, sir … ’cause there was some… it had happened multiple times. And so at any rate- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: unfortunately, my mom had eight kids at home, and I remember when she had a, we had this big meeting and she’s like, “Okay, guys I’m gonna have to leave your dad.”

And we’re freaking out, ’cause we’re this, , Christian family, and it’s not what we thought it was deal. And it was super, super heavy. And my older brother, Joey, after the meeting looked at me, and I was, we were parked out front and he, and I said, “Are we gonna come, you gonna come in and talk to Dad?”

He said, “No.” He, , he basically said, “You’re the oldest, isn’t married.” So I was the oldest, wasn’t married. Stayed home from Hawaii, moved in with my mom. My mom worked three jobs and mostly two jobs, but there was a long stint that she ha- actually was working three jobs. Graveyard shift, waiting tables, eight kids at [00:27:00] home.

Just that’s, this experience of- I was gone through all my teenage, so I was the black sheep of the family. Sure, sure. And then right when I get my wheels underneath me- … and my wits about me- 

Coach Fergie: Keep 

David Fullmer: going. Yeah … it’s like another rug pull. It’s like, “Oh no. You’re not good.” I’m like, “No, I’m good.

I’m sober. I’m not in jail. I’m loving my life. I’m hanging out with chicks. I’m surfing the North Shore.” 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: And then it’s like, “No, just kidding. You gotta go be a surrogate dad to, , to eight kids and help your mom.” Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. And so I moved in with Mom and just went after it for three years till I met my wife.

But it was during that time, watching my mom’s example of just the Christ-like attributes and love and- It’s beautiful … just hard work, it changed my life. And ’cause my dad wasn’t helping financially, and my, my mom’s working this period, and I remember coming to my mom, and I tell this story often.

I come to my mom like, “Dude, Mom, do you can get 350 bucks a kid? They’ll put Dad in jail.” [00:28:00] I was like, “Dude, he needs to go sit in jail.” 

Yeah.

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: ? , I’m kinda like, “Give it to him.” , I’m the young- Yeah … fiery, piss and vinegar. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: And and my mom, sweet as could be, , gives me a big hug and clasps my face and says, “Hey, , you’re right, David.

We could get 350 bucks a kid but it’s better that we work hard than these little kids have to go visit their father in jail.” 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. ‘

David Fullmer: Cause they would, they’d take you to jail if you didn’t pay your child support. It’s- Absolutely. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: at any rate, and so I was just, my mom just blew me away. She just was so humble and so hardworking and I, I lived with a heavy sense of anger towards him.

I wanted to smash him every time I saw him. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: And I was already an angry kid, and I was more angry now that I can’t go do what I wanna do, and I’ve gotta w- babysit these kids and help my mom. 

And I remember my mom didn’t have, she didn’t have a day off in it was like four or five months, not even one day.

She graveyarded at Stouffer’s, come home, go wait tables at IHOP, wait tables at Wingers. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. [00:29:00] 

David Fullmer: And I’m just on the verge of busting, breaking down. I’m pissed off- … because I’m like, “Dude, Dad, will you just…” , He wouldn’t, he disappeared. He was, like, sailing in the Galapagos Islands at this time, just with his buddies.

And, I’m cruising down the local, I remember it was Timpview Drive in Provo, and I remember looking over at our ch- our chapel, and there in the dirt planting flowers is my mom with six little kids around her. 

Coach Fergie: Ooh. 

David Fullmer: And my heart sank. I never screamed so loud. I yelled and I screamed. I was like, “Man,” I said, “God, why did you give her dirt?

And here she is in the dirt.” And I didn’t recognize at the time, but it was a very valuable lesson. And what it taught me was is ultimate forgiveness is ultimate freedom. ‘Cause when I pulled over to see my mom in the dirt, and the smile and glow in her face, teaching her six little children service- Yeah

and to beautify something else, , no one in [00:30:00] our whole church realized… She was probably the last person that , Scott. But she’s the only one that could have been there to show me the way- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: to live free. 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: And so if any impact I can leave with someone, even on this, , talking to you or anyone that’s listening, is the power of forgiveness.

And that’s why it’s on Friday. And if you can truly live with letting go, you will soar with the eagles. Yeah. Pigeons sit around and talk to each other about what everybody else is doing. True eagles soar. They don’t. Okay. There’s nothing to be said.

Coach Fergie: Yeah, other birds can’t live that high and stuff.

And I love that you bring up forgiveness. That’s the one thing with clients, even with myself, that I had to go through. But my, , my mentor told me, one of my mentors, who he said, “Listen, man, forgiveness is nothing more than giving up the hope of a better past.” Think about that. Giving up the hope of a- Geez, that’s so 

David Fullmer: heavy

Coach Fergie: right, dude? It’s like you’ll never be able to change it, man. You can’t even hope to change it. The 

David Fullmer: gina- genie is not going up in the bottle. 

It ain’t going back in. 

Coach Fergie: And- Yeah, that’s [00:31:00] strong, dude. That, that story about your mother, yeah that, that’s amazing. So I have to ask you this, ’cause we gotta move along here a little bit, but how do you want your dash remembered?

That little line in between your incarnation date and your expiration date, your life date and death date that’s on the tombstone. There’s a lot that happens in that dash. How does David want his dash remembered? 

David Fullmer: I really believe that God saved me for millions and millions of years ago to not only come here and have mortality, have an experience, and raise a family which is the greatest thing- The only purpose, yeah

any one of us can do. But also to truly make an impact in humanity in a way that gets millions of people thinking and chasing and going after their true talents and who they wanna become, and who God, the talents that God gave them, and help them shine that and go after them. 

Coach Fergie: Love 

David Fullmer: that. And I it, one thing you don’t have to ask me to do, you don’t i- I will jump out of the truck while it’s going 35 miles an hour if you’re asking me to go into a room with [00:32:00] 10, 20, 30, 40 people or one person- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah

David Fullmer: and talk to them about what’s the next move- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah … 

David Fullmer: to make you great. Love that. And I just love it, dude, and I’m on fire, 

Coach Fergie: and- I’ve seen some of your stuff, dude. You bring it. I gotta tell you, you bring it. And that’s where I gotta get us lined up. I’m gonna, like off camera and mic, I’m gonna get your sizzle reel and your one page and I’m gonna get you some work.

Not that you need it, but I’m gonna get you more work- Yeah … okay. Time to Shine Today podcast firstly, squad, we are back.

And David, I’m just gonna have to make it out there for a roll with you and maybe eat some good papaya and pineapples and stuff like that, and just relax on the, in the, you’re in the North Shore area, right? So I have to get- Yeah, I- … out there and hang with you. And some of these questions we’ll talk about at length I guarantee.

But today you got five seconds to answer them with no explanations, and I promise you they can all be answered that way. You ready to level up? 

David Fullmer: Okay. 

Coach Fergie: Let’s do this. All right, David, what is the best leveling up advice you’ve ever received? 

David Fullmer: The best lev- leveling up advice?

Yeah. Okay. Tell us about that book. 

David Fullmer: Unbelievable. I… My son’s an avid surfer, so we went out to Bali. Went out to Bali for two months and lived in Bali and sat- yeah … at the monkey temple and paid a little Balinese lady to whip the monkeys so they didn’t steal my stuff, and I meditated over the ocean and wrote a book, brought it [00:36:00] back, had a, a team of editors help me write it because I- Wow

I’m dyslexic and I can’t write. I have to speak it. 

Coach Fergie: It’s all good. Yeah. 

David Fullmer: And it was all wrong, and I went back to meta- met… dave Meltzer? 

Coach Fergie: Yeah, I know Dave Meltzer. Yeah.

David Fullmer: Yeah. Yeah, so Meltzer, we met him at a, a, a conference in Tahiti, and he introduced me to Cliff Carl. And Cliff Carl was one of the editors for- Oh, good

The Jay Leno Show. Yeah. Yeah. He’s a legend. Legend. So I wrote my- 

Coach Fergie: Yeah. 

David Fullmer: Yeah. I wrote my whole book. It was completely wrong. I rewrote it all with Cliff Carl. Thanks to Dave Meltzer. Yeah. Thanks, Dave. 

Coach Fergie: Dave’s 

David Fullmer: amazing, 

Coach Fergie: bro. He’s 

David Fullmer: a- And, … a bad guy … and I… It’s just unreal. It’s really simple. It’s not a long book.

I’m not… I don’t get… I don’t go down too many rabbit holes. It’s just simple. I just really want people to understand that your internal vibration is, it has so much reflection on your outward performance, and that this vibration that’s going [00:37:00] on to… this, this struggle that’s happening inside of all of us and making sure that our internal, that internal symphony that’s going on is really making music.

Because if it’s not, our lives are gonna be really hard. 

Coach Fergie: Harmonic, baby. Love it. Rhythm and harmony, baby. That’s what me and you are now. Yes. Yeah. You’re s- you- you’re stuck with me, dude. Hey, David, do me a solid and leave a… Leave me with one last knowledge nugget that we can take with us, internalize, and take action on.

David Fullmer: If you think that you’re right or you think that you’re wrong you’re actually right 

Coach Fergie: You’re actually right. Love it. Henry Ford, baby. I love it. You know what I’m saying? I was born in Detroit, and that, that quote’s everywhere in Detroit. And- 

David Fullmer: But I’ll leave I’ll leave you with my quote that’s on the back of my book that I came up with.

Yeah. And this is basically the same thing, and it is, “The only reality is the one I create.” Nice. “And the greatest reality I can create is one that will [00:38:00] impact humanity.” 

Coach Fergie: Wow. So the greatest reality you can create will, the one that will impact humanity. Love that. 

David Fullmer: Yeah. I love that. The greatest reality I can create is one that…

Because we think that we’re, it’s just us, but it’s not, and when we really focus on the greater good of humanity and our family, our cultures, our communities, we become superhuman.
