Time to [00:01:00] shine today. Podcast Varsity Squad. This is Scott Ferguson. And I have a 2. 0 interview with someone I kind of considered my little brother from another mother, man. He’s he was on an episode 170. We are, , we, we built up as funny off the mic we were talking about. We’ve never met in person, but we kind of like, feel like we know each other and.

, we’re, we’re going to be good buddies, except for October 21st. When my Sparty absolutely kicks the crap out of his Wolverine and stuff, but no, man, I’m here to welcome back, , my good friend, , Oleg Lougheed. And like before his life that he started was pretty inauspicious at nine years old, he relinquished his parents rights and entered the Russian orphanage at 12 years old.

He decided to be adopted into a new family in a new country, halfway across the world to start a new life. At 24 years old, he began his journey of helping others live the way. They have always dreamed of despite their hardships and misfortunes by allowing them to recognize the uniqueness and worth within their own story.

Today, we’re going to really talk about his product. I don’t bring [00:02:00] people on here to pump up products too much, but his product is something that you, if you’re a professional. That has clients or you have a boss that you really want to impress. This moment’s worth remembering product is absolutely stellar.

And it’s a space for individuals to come together, share their experiences and pay tribute to the indelible impact we have on each other. And Oleg, thank you so much for coming on. Please introduce yourself. The Time to Shine Today podcast, Varsity Squad. But first… What’s a superpower that you have that really no one really?

Oleg Lougheed: Well, I was going to say beating this party on the 21st, but I don’t know if that’s a superpower anymore because we’ve done it so many times, right? So, , for me, I think when I think of my superpower, it’s the ability to connect with people. And I’ve learned this about myself. So at first I didn’t really believe it.

And that is, there were people that would give me that as feedback saying, you’re very good at connecting, [00:03:00] you understand this concept of empathy and sympathy. And I didn’t really see that in myself because I think what I’ve learned is that it’s harder to see things in yourself that are considered superpower, superpowers because you do them on a daily basis, right?

So you don’t really view those things as anything special other than, okay, this is something that I’ve done yesterday, I’m doing it today and probably will do so tomorrow, right? Oh, when I started to pay attention to the feedback from other people, I began to realize that, what? This is something special.

This is something that I should give a lot more value to because not everyone is able to do that, right? So that is something for me that I consider my superpower or my ability. And that’s the ability to the first Transcribed 30 seconds to a minute to five minutes. Now there’s a component of it that I’m also going to say, I don’t know how it happens or how I do it, right?

The same way you and I, how are [00:04:00] we able to just dive into the depth of life within the first 30 seconds of meeting each other? And then here we are talking about some of the more important things in our lives. So. Don’t really know how it happens, how we’re able to bypass a lot of it, but I’m choosing to attribute a lot of that to who I am in the space that I create.

And, and maybe ultimately that’s the person I show up as, and you just happen to be a reflection of some other version of myself. And so it’s easier to connect with when it comes to that, right?

L. Scott Ferguson: , like attracts, like, , you’re very curious and you had to be, brother, I mean. You come from Russia to here, not really know anything, so you are super curious.

All the time. Cause you have to learn, you had to learn a language, you had to learn food. You had to learn everything. So curiosity was kind of baked into you from the get you, whether you liked it or not, and it was a form of protection. I would think, , to protect yourself against the outside world, to [00:05:00] know before something happens and, , you were, you grew up so fast and it’s just.

, carried on in that empathy and sympathy, , becomes a byproduct of that curiosity. So I, I, I opened, you were going to go that route, man. That’s, that’s fantastic. So what’s been going on brother in the past three years, it seems like since we have John last.

Oleg Lougheed: That’s a good question. So moved into a new city, moving to a different city here.

Those have been some of the big changes. What has remained the same, still remained a Wolverine fan, still a Lions fan. I know I gotta keep, keep throwing that in there, right? While I can. We can, man. But But outside of that, I would say professionally to connect it to your earlier point, I started a new business called Moments Worth Remembering.

And for me, it really came from a moment in my own life where I was sitting at my grandpa’s funeral. And I remember having this realization where I believe it was my aunt, my uncle, and my dad all got on stage at a different time and shared words about him. [00:06:00] And I remember sitting there and thinking to myself, I wonder if he knew any of this now, this is about 10 to 12, however many years ago by now.

So the only thing that clicked was a realization. There was no, I’m going to build this. I’m going to impact people in this way. It was just a light bulb that came off, came on at that point. And then fast forward to about seven to eight years later, I had another realization where I. I wanted to do something different.

It started with my dad’s retirement and his birthday, and then it proceeded to probably 20 or 30 other people in my life that have made an impact, and so I wanted to create something meaningful for them, and I thought about it to myself, what can I create that’s not going to be one of those throwaway gifts the following morning, right?

I’m sure we can all relate to this component, right? Like we put together this great gift and then the following morning it ends up in a recycling bin, the way life [00:07:00] works. And there’s no offense taken by either party. You just, you just accepted

L. Scott Ferguson: that. Like it never gets thought of again, right? Because people don’t want to offend you by throwing it away.

Oleg Lougheed: That’s another way of doing it. So I thought about that question. I said, what can I do that would be meaningful and different? And that would also allow me to tap into a deeper version of who I am. At heart, which has been someone who genuinely tries to touch people’s lives in ways that they may or may not have thought of before.

So whether that’s questions or things or experiences, and so that’s where this. Concept came about and it was a memory of that realization. However, many years ago from my grandpa’s funeral. So I said to myself, , it’d be very interesting to create a book where I can put [00:08:00] together. a list of letters and thoughts and memories from these people’s lives and try to go as far back as possible.

So in my dad’s case, I found people who were interns from 30, 40 years ago. I found some of his friends from college. Some of my other friends cases, I found their parents, their grandparents, their nephews, their cousins, their work colleagues, and There’s something really interesting that I found after putting that together and gifting it to them and a common denominator denominator that I found amongst every single person was that I believe, to some degree, we are all seeking similar things in life.

Yes. And that’s the need to be appreciated. To be valued and to know that whatever it is that we’re doing makes a difference in someone else’s life other than our own. [00:09:00] Yes. So that’s where I think it really took off and it became something that I couldn’t even imagine. And it’s funny because I read so many of those stories as I’m sure you have too, where you speak with someone who has started something and they say, I started with this, but I couldn’t even imagine it becoming this.

Like this podcast way, this podcast is the same exact way, right? Yeah. You start with this one concept and then it just grows into something else. I think, I think there’s a profound lesson to be learned within that. And that’s the power of a start and the importance of a start. Someone, I don’t know if it was Oprah or Tony Robbins, but I read a quote by them one of however many days ago, it said everyone was once a beginner.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I think it’s so true. I think that’s true. Anything in life, everything was once a beginner at something in order to get to wherever it is that they’re going. And I think for [00:10:00] me, the turning point was understanding that and understanding the fact that yes, I might be scared to take this next step, but at the same time, would I rather do that or would I rather live with the regret of not taking that step?

L. Scott Ferguson: Well, like, why didn’t you quit?

Oleg Lougheed: Why didn’t I quit for me? I didn’t quit because I knew what I was doing and what I was becoming was much greater than I was. That’s the simple answer to it. I think when I realized that and I can’t really. I haven’t found a good way to put that down into one sentence because I think it’s so much more than that.

I think it’s a feeling, I think it’s a thought, I think it’s a knowing, I think it’s a realization that one experiences, and for me it was all of those things. Right. I realized that my life starting from childhood [00:11:00] to twenties to now going into thirties and now 30 years old, getting old, it’s, it, it, that’s what it’s become.

It’s so much more than just one being, I think it’s really a great opportunity and a great responsibility. Right to be able to do the work that we do, but I think it’s true of anyone else, right? I think it’s true of anyone who listens to the show and may think that oh my impact doesn’t really matter Or what I’m doing.

It doesn’t impact that many people Well, the reality of the matter does Because think about the number of interactions you have on a daily basis, grocery store. Think about how many people you have the opportunity to hold the door open to. Think about how many people you can buy that bag for affiliates.

I think 10, 15 cents a bag, right? So it’s, so it’s all of these things that you do. And one other thing I’ll add is I started to [00:12:00] realize that the opportunities to impact people are endless because the platform from which you can impact is endless. So like in our case, No, go ahead. Sorry, go ahead. I was going to say in our case, and I don’t know if you experienced this, but as a speaker, I used to think at a certain point that the only way that I could impact was from the stage.

But then I started to realize, well, really, the stage is everywhere. The stage is here. Yeah. Stage is life. Yeah. So therefore you have an opportunity to impact at any given moment. And I think that’s true of every other person. Absolutely.

L. Scott Ferguson: Yeah. I mean, it’s like I made a pact with myself in oh nine, , my little brother had killed himself and I went through a really deep dark time in my life that, but I was also before then I had put two commas in my bank account, , made millions of dollars by really.

Train on other people’s misfortunes, like buying foreclosures and stuff like that. And I just woke up one day when I [00:13:00] kind of lost everything when the market crashed. And I was like, , I’m, I’m going to make two new year’s resolutions every day. And I started the new year’s resolution on July 10th, that year of 2009.

And I said, , I’m going to make someone smile every day. And two, unless you, unless I’ve hurt you, disrespected you, judged you, or owe you, I don’t care what you think about me, right? And I just started doing something daily of value to other people on the daily, because you can’t get a smile from somebody without providing value, whether it’s a kind word, holding the door.

Paying for someone behind you in line. I love that you, you go into that go giver. And I was given a compliment last month that said, Fergie, you do what you love in the service of people that love what you do. And I thought about that. I was like, I actually do what I love in the service of people that love what I do.

Right. And I was like, holy, and I found out the guy wrote the book, [00:14:00] like two books called radical leap and radical edge that actually told me that, and that was the biggest compliment. And that’s the one I want to pay forward to you is that you’re doing what you love in the service of people that love what you do.

I mean, their gift. Tell me about the gift. Is it a physical gift, a digital gift, or what is moments worth

Oleg Lougheed: remembering? It’s a physical book that people receive, and essentially how it works is there are a handful of people, or as many people as one wishes, get to contribute to that book, so imagine there being a book created for you, right?

In that book, you would have your significant others, your family, your work colleagues, that all contribute on the concept of what makes Scott a gift in your life. That’s a common theme. And then from there, everyone can contribute whatever it is that they want, memories, thoughts, different forms of appreciation.

Now you can also do this for companies, right? You can [00:15:00] do it for companies as a way of culture development, team building. So. In addition to having 360 reviews or performance reviews, you can have something like this that allows people to express some of their deeper thoughts to people working next to them as a way to create even more trust within that given culture.

So that’s kind of what I started to focus on within a, with a lot of these efforts. And I think as far as the impact goes, I don’t even think there’s a word to describe it. There’s that is in a way it’s the essence of who you are.

L. Scott Ferguson: Yeah. Do you ever get people you’re it’s okay if you don’t answer it, but you ever get people that you maybe someone’s reached out to that said, I don’t want to write something about

Oleg Lougheed: somebody a handful.

Yeah, a handful of people have done that. And for me, I look at it in one of two ways. So a. It’s a dialogue. I can open up or be. It’s [00:16:00] something that I just acknowledge and move past. So I think with a lot of this, especially when it comes to the outreach that we do with a lot of this, and that’s, we don’t know the people on the other end, right?

So we might reach out to people in your network or whoever’s network that might be like, ah, , had a rocky start. I don’t know if I want to go down that road and express it. So how I view it is I view this as a space for not only expression of love and appreciation, but also forgiveness, right? And acceptance.

Right. So looking at that as an opportunity to forgive ultimately, I think yourself. Okay. And then simultaneously the other person.

L. Scott Ferguson: Love it. No, that’s, that’s beautiful that, , that you handle that in such a professional manner because some people it’s not in their cliche DNA to really write stuff about other people because where I’m seeing this, , [00:17:00] it’s like, , I’m, I’m coming out.

I’m, I’m in my fifth decade. I’m 51 now. Right. And my, one of my biggest fears, a lot of times, Oh, like is being forgotten. Right. It’s like, you start thinking about that. And with your gift, , especially if you’re giving it as a retirement gift, right? I mean, that’d be perfect for a retirement gift that your gift, it’d be just be something that you’d want to give somebody that , that just it’s evergreen, , it’s always going to stay there.

It’s going to be there. And so a good reminder for the person as well, if they might have a bad day, Hey, go to the moments worth remembering book. I remember what people think of you in like how much of an impact you’ve made on the world. So thank you for putting this together, man. Like this is awesome.

So what, what are the materials like that it’s made out of?

Oleg Lougheed: Well, think about it this way. And before I answered that, I’ll add one more thing. So not only is it, I think a great retirement gift, some people have actually turned back to me and they said that you’ve written my [00:18:00] eulogy. Huge. And that’s powerful, right?

You kidding? When you pass. Yeah. That’s essentially what ends up being said. Yeah. Our words about that person. Yeah. Now, I don’t know what your experience has been like, but I’ll say from my personal experience, sometimes there’s a little bit of a challenge in trying to gather all these thoughts about the person and figuring out who do I need to speak with?

Who are the people from 30, 40, 50 years ago that he or she might have touched? Right. And so when that person, I remember it came back to me and he’s in his seventies, he said, not only thank you for allowing me the chance to read this while I’m alive, but thank you for writing my eulogy. It kind of just hit me differently.

It’s like, wow, that is really profound. So. What is it made of? I mean, just standard paper, standard binding book, hard cover. Imagine it being like a photo album, hard cover front and back colors, pictures, and [00:19:00] things like that are all interchangeable depending on the person. So let’s say if once again, it’s a book about you, the cover would be filled.

With pictures of you, if it’s a book of someone else, the colors, the pictures would be of someone else color tend to be the person’s favorite color. And then the inner pages have the letters with a little bit of a design we put around it. And so it’s, it’s, it’s all meant to be a surprise. To top it all off.

Yeah. So you’re never going to know if you were to receive one, when, how we’ve delivered this through significant others. I’ve showed up in some people’s homes. I did this three, two weeks ago. I took a flight Amtrak to Chicago and saw a friend of mine there. He didn’t know I was coming. He didn’t know I was giving him this book.

I gave him the book because changed my life. So I said, if this is a small way that I could [00:20:00] say thank you for the impact you’ve had. Yeah, here

L. Scott Ferguson: it is. I love it. Now, Oleg, are they like hand, is it the person’s handwriting when they write the notes out or typing or like printed? How is each page it’s printed?

Yeah.

Oleg Lougheed: Each, yeah, each page is printed. So there essentially go through the website, moments worth, membrane put in the order. Member from our team contacts them, and then we put them through a process of, okay, here are the contributors that you’re looking to reach out to. So we, we can do all the outreach to every single one of the people who can be a contributor to that.

And then they essentially input all the data through a form. We gather it, put it together, put it onto individual pages, package it, printed. Ship it to them. One other thing that I’m going to, that I’d like to do, because this is kind of the vision that I’ve set for myself is actually start delivering some of these in person.

[00:21:00] That’s cool. Like why not just show up at the person’s front door. Here it is. And it’s, I think it’s even probably been more, makes it even more meaningful and memorable when you’re not expecting it. And that’s, I think, been the common denominator is so many of the people that we’ve given it to, and this goes back to your earlier question, so many people that we’ve given it to a.

are not expecting it. And so many people said, I knew you were doing this, but then never thought I would be one of the people receiving it. And part of it I think has to do with the fact that in my opinion, many people don’t feel like they are deserving of love, of kindness, of appreciation. And so if this is a way that I can maybe shift that narrative, why not?[00:22:00]

L. Scott Ferguson: What you’re doing is it’s there’s people like, okay, my 40th birthday, , my fiance at the time, like she put together a party. I have no idea how she can contact these people, how she found out. And there’s like 180 people there, , for my 40th birthday. And they had all written something. I still have it on a wall in my office.

, it was like a, it was a. Like a huge thing said 40 years in the making. There’s some pictures of me. It was a big poster board and people wrote little notes. And I keep that as a reminder of how I’ve touched lives, whether it was past clients enemies wrote on it, , because when she reached out, she didn’t realize these people were like my rivals in business.

And they said, thank you for keeping me sharp. And, , it was still nice stuff. They just kind of poured out of them. So I’m glad that you’re putting this together, man. So what is the turnaround time?

Oleg Lougheed: It could be as short as a week. It could be as long as two to three weeks. It all depends on the type of package that people purchase and how many submissions they want in each one.

[00:23:00] So there are typically three options we go with. One is kind of the option you do yourself. So you are the one that’s responsible for creating a list of contacts, reaching out to them, following up, making sure Information gets delivered to us and then we’ll put it together. And then the other two is we take over that process.

So we take over the process of outreach follow up, which I’m sure you can tell it’s a job of its own, right? Dealing with people. There’s a job within the job and, and that’s what I, that’s what I tell people is whichever one you choose, just understand that there is a commitment of time you were either going to have to put into, or we’re going to have to put into, right?

So turn around time. Yeah. One to two weeks or two to three weeks, depending on kind of the option that they pick.

L. Scott Ferguson: Beautiful. And, , I’m actually kind of looking at the website. It’s actually, it’s very squat. It’s very, very, very professional how, how it’s put together. And it’s, it’s just something [00:24:00] that I’m so glad my good friend, Oleg is, is kind of brainchilded it to come out there and really get, start getting this out to the masses.

So I’m thinking like anybody out there that has, , a professional that’s, that’s touched them, whether it’s, , personal or professional, , someone that’s retiring somebody that is, , a realtor, all my fellow realtors out there, , that what, what a better way to really, , show clients some love.

, and probably

Oleg Lougheed: make a lifetime client out of that. Absolutely. Are you kidding me? Cause you got to think about it. Very few are probably willing to do this. Many, right. Thank yous. Many give gift cards. Very few, I think, go far and beyond in something like this. Yeah.

L. Scott Ferguson: What I, , what I used to do, Oleg, is you’ve heard of Cutco knives, right?

Yeah. The

Oleg Lougheed: best knives. That’s expensive. It’s an expensive brand.

L. Scott Ferguson: Exactly. So what I would do is I would buy a Cutco knife with my emblem or my logo engraved. And like the top part is the big, , butcher knife. But what’s nice about [00:25:00] Cutco is that for the life that you have the knife, they send somebody out there to sharpen it for you every year, right?

So they would show up and say, I’m here on behalf of the Ferguson real estate team. I’m here to sharpen your knife. Now their job really is to sell more knives. I feel like I get it, right? But they showed up on behalf of me. , and that was like evergreen, bro. People would come back to me six, seven years later.

I’m ready to sell, , my house. So, and again, cookout guy stops by every fricking year, , and, and it’s just like, this is something that is evergreen as well. Worth it. Moments worth remembering, man. I’m so happy that you really put this together, but as we move kind of forward to wrapping this, man I have to take you through our loveling up lightning round again, man.

Cause I want to see if some of the answers. , still, still mesh. All right, brother. Yeah. All right. Remember, it’s five seconds, no explanations. You’re ready to level

Oleg Lougheed: up? Oh boy, let’s do it. We can do it,

L. Scott Ferguson: brother. Even for a Wolverine, you’ll be all right. All right, brother. So, [00:26:00] Oleg, what is the best leveling up advice you’ve ever received?

Best? Leveling up

Oleg Lougheed: advice. Leveling up advice I’ve ever received. Challenge my own assumptions and expectations. Love it.

L. Scott Ferguson: Share one of your personal habits that contributes to your success. Discipline. Yeah, so you see me walking down the street and you say, man, Fergie looks like he’s in his doldrums a little bit.

What book might you hand me to help me level up? Thinking Girl Rich. Yeah, Napoleon, can’t go wrong. What’s your most commonly used emoji when you text?

Oleg Lougheed: Wolverines. Oh, yes. BM symbol. Ha! Nicknames growing up?

Chicken. I still love it.

L. Scott Ferguson: So what is let me see, Chess Checkers or Monopoly? Checkers. Alright, headline for your life?[00:27:00]

Oleg Lougheed: The Power of Your Story. Beautiful,

L. Scott Ferguson: absolutely. Any superstitions or you just don’t have any?

Oleg Lougheed: You become what you think you are. Love it,

L. Scott Ferguson: love it. Go to ice cream flavor?

Oleg Lougheed: That’s a tough one. Oreo cookies. Alright.

L. Scott Ferguson: There’s a sandwich called the low heat. Build that sandwich for

Oleg Lougheed: me. Bacon, lettuce. Man, there you go.

L. Scott Ferguson: We’re we’re back to being friends. You threw a little man candy on there, brother. So very charity in our organization.

Like to give your time or money to overcoming odds. Oh, I love it. You actually said that last time. So you’re staying very consistent on this. Last question. Let’s see if you’re consistent here, but what’s the best decade of music? 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, or 2000, 2000s. All right. Yeah, you were. You got some man.

That’s awesome. So, oh, like how can we find in the, [00:28:00] what’s the best way that people can find an order moments worth remembering.

Oleg Lougheed: Just through the website momentsworthremembering. com or if they have any questions, they can connect with me personally, LinkedIn is probably the best option that people can find me.

And then just reach out and say, Hey, want to put together this for. My dad’s retirement or birthdays or any sort of milestones or special occasions, I think also are very fitting for something like this. Bar Mitzvahs, any religious events can also be something that this can be gifted to some.

L. Scott Ferguson: Gotcha.

They’re going to need like a, you’re probably not just going to want to jump into it and say something you’re going to be able to do over the weekend. Cause there’s people that need to be contacted. There’s people that are going to be followed up with, to get the the messages written and stuff like that.

So this is something that if you’re looking at as a gift in the future spot, , get it done now, get to the website moments worth remembering, which URL. Was that [00:29:00] available?

Oleg Lougheed: It was

L. Scott Ferguson: freaking way, dude. That’s beautiful. Great.

Oleg Lougheed: Well, that’s where, , what’s meant to be right. Yeah. That’s where, , things like that.

When the same way for me, I just stopped questioning whether things are randomly happening. Right. I think things like that, they’re confirmations. Yeah. Yeah. The confirmations that this is meant to be somewhere.

L. Scott Ferguson: I love it. I love that man. It’s kind of like how my coaching rolled off of my real estate because like if if you and your partner I was to For you want to buy a house like not only am I your realtor, but i’m like your marriage counselor , I am your if you guys have kids i’m like a babysitter while you guys are looking at how like I wore so many Hats that it rolled into coaching like it was just meant what I’m saying?

It’s like, and as I get older, you become kind of more of a silverback and people get a little bit more respect, , so just coaching, just, , 11 years ago, just really started , coming to fruition. I love that you’re taking your intuition and fricking running with it, Oleg. [00:30:00] So do me one last solid.

And leave us with one last knowledge nugget that we can take with us, internalize and take action on.

Oleg Lougheed: I think it goes back to how you and I started this conversation and that’s, don’t be afraid to start. I think everyone knows once a beginner at something. As whoever might’ve said this quote, however many years ago, but I think that’s the most important part is knowing that everything’s possible.

All you have to do is just start. And going back to a point you had made, and that starting your coaching practice, me starting my business, it’s not necessarily the easiest of paths nor journeys. I will say that from experience, but it’s a worthwhile one. Why is it worthwhile? Because it’s connected to who I am.

It allows me to express different parts of myself that I may or may not have known. And so in a way, it’s a very fulfilling journey [00:31:00] because it’s something that allows me to develop. And I think that’s the thing that I really try to focus on as much as possible is don’t be afraid to start because I think if you don’t start, then what you actually do start is the journey of regret.

Yes. And that’s a journey that you probably go to the grave with and may or may not confront at whatever point. Right. But that’s a feeling that I truly try to minimize as much as possible through action, through starting through awareness, right? Because if you don’t, then it’s just going to eat at you for many, many years.

L. Scott Ferguson: Regret’s real, man. , that regret is real. Yeah. That’s the, that’s the one thing is that I won’t live with regrets. I just get stuff done. , I, whoever I can help, I help, , I don’t want to, like, I don’t want to be forgotten. Right. Cause I believe the more you mentor, the more immortal you become.

So I mentor as much as I can. And it’s not an ego thing. It’s like, [00:32:00] dude, you, everyone dies. Like one of my speeches that I give is don’t take life too seriously. We’re not making it out alive. That’s the name of the speech. What I’m saying? So it’s, it’s the truth and squad. I just had a, another fun, awesome, enlightening conversation with my good friend, Oleg, who really has the ability to connect with people, very empathetic, sympathetic.

He says a passion for helping people, , basically meaningful. He’s, he finds things that are meaningful and different. And he takes those and he bundled it up into moments worth remembering where people are going to remember this gift for their lifetime. , he reminds us that to some degree, we’re all seeking appreciation and value.

And to know what you’re doing makes a difference. And this book… Will validate that he wants you to challenge your assumptions and expectations like he does on a daily basis. You’ll shift the narrative to yourself from one of [00:33:00] living with regrets to living and enjoying your journey and serving as many people as you can.

And it has to start with yourself. , he Oleg is planting trees right now that he’s never going to sit in the shade of. , he’s doing this from the intention, not not for the attention. And that’s why I vibe with Oleg so well. Lastly, he reminded us, , don’t be afraid to start. There is power in the start.

Remember like we talk about a lot here in time to shine today inch by inch. It’s a cinch by the yard It’s hard short steps long vision. Just keep going. That’s what olig did from the time. He was in russia to where he’s at Now serving coming up on the masses. I’m so blessed. We’re connected man I absolutely love your guts and I can’t wait to do a lot more collaborations with you and watch sparty Just absolutely annihilate
