Hey, hey, guys. Speaker going to introduce you to today who is going to be amazing you all at burnout to all out live in Austin, Texas in just a little over a month. If you don't know, you don't know. But Preston has been an incredible mentor of mine in the past who's really helped me through my own major identity crisis. There he is. Preston Smiles. How are you, friend?

Preston [: 00:02:01

Amazing. Headed to get the kids from the first day of school, which is exciting. Yeah. We had a little time mishap because I thought school ended at 4, but it actually ends at 3. So we're doing that thing.

Melissa [: 00:02:17

You gotta learn it. I've got 3 that are coming home from their 1st day of school today too. Well, I'll jump right to it because I know how busy you are, buddy, and I know you've got a lot going on. I was just telling everybody, you were really, really, really foundational in my own personal journey and shift in business. Really, I was saying earlier, it was like a major identity crisis that you gave me the love shelf and pushed me through to the personal brand and business that you see today. And you at our 5 year anniversary of Burnout to All Out, you're going to be there on stage. So epic. I thought maybe, I know you just got a minute or 2, why do people need to come to live events? I know you host your own live events, And why is it gonna be so transformational for them to meet you in person in Austin, Texas in a little over a month?

Preston [: 00:03:10

Absolutely. I'm writing a book right now called Spiritual Millionaire, and one of the chapters I'm in is the law of patterns and practices. And I'm literally speaking to this very thing where one of the best selling books is atomic habits. Right? And James Clear speaks about how 1% difference in habits. Well, I believe in both, and the reason for that is I believe in massive action, burn the boats, put yourself in a position, and then continue to take 1% actions on that big action. And I heard this from Grant Cardone, and I've been adopting it ever since that there's 4 levels of action. The first level is the people who do nothing. They just wait and watch.

Preston [: 00:03:58

2nd level are the people who do something, don't get the feedback they want, and then retreat back into their shells. The 3rd level of action is normal action, and that's what most people do. Your cousins, the people who you went to high school with, everybody will feel comfortable. The network marketing business, if you just stay inside of the little box, everybody's good. While the 4th level of action, and this is why events are so important, is massive action. And a massive action is important because it helps jar the nervous system enough where there's spaciousness for you to see what's really going on because left to our own devices, all of us will always go back to what is most comfortable, go back to homeostasis. So this event that you're doing in Austin, Texas, which is going to be absolutely amazing and in my town, is super important for anybody who's really wanting to break through and actually find out what they're made of. There's so many patterns that all of us have been living out based on who our mom was, who our dad was, what the bullies did, if we had a prettier sister, if our brother was smarter.

Preston [: 00:05:09

All these things play out, and a lot of people go to their graves still playing out the same patterns from childhood. And so events like yours and mine are so important because it gives people an opportunity to taste something different. Yes. So good and so true. And

Melissa [: 00:05:24

I know, you know, you've done that for me personally when working with you. It's like that swift kick in the pants of, like, what's really possible on the other side when you submerge yourself in a group, in a community with people. And I know I've experienced this. I know people have experienced this in your events. You also get the confidence to take that radical action while you're there with the momentum, with the energy instead of delaying and delaying the future and delaying the possibilities. Well, Preston, love you so much and cannot wait for my community to really get to experience you on stage for quite some time as you kick us off with the general session. And just really quickly for those of you listening, it's not too late. You haven't grabbed your tickets on my handle on Instagram.

Melissa [: 00:06:18

You can go check out burnout to all out live. It's all over our socials. You can find it on our website, burnout to all out.co. But, Preston, so excited. Cannot wait to see you really just create so many breakthroughs for so many people in that room that give them that initiative. They give them that radical momentum that they need for that next level in their life and in their business. So excited to see you there, my friend.

Preston [: 00:06:43

Yes. Super pumped. Really grateful. And I just wanna give you a shout out because I've seen you. Not only have you transformed your business and all that stuff, which is fantastic, but the thing that I'm most impressed with is how you didn't stop there and how you transformed your health and your strength. And that journey that you've been taking is so cool to witness. It's reinspired something in me to go, you know what? Let's go. So it goes both ways.

Melissa [: 00:07:10

I love that. Well, it's full circle. You start making radical changes in one area of your life. It's a ripple effect to the radical changes you can make and the other ways other places in their life. So let's just keep that yin yang going. Let's just see how much we could inspire each other. Right? Well, adore you, buddy. Can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks, and we'll see you there.

Melissa [: 00:07:32
