B (3:23)

Okay, all right. Okay.

C (3:26)

And finally, right. Some people are yes and yes. Now, Ivan, these people are to be wonderful people, and your life and work are better for having them in your life. So seek them out, collaborate with them, and enjoy their company. So that's the process in a whole.

B (3:47)

I love it. Now, do you met you. You named somebody and did I read this right? He was a yoga friend. You met him in yoga.

C (3:54)

Yes, yes, we were. We were both having some challenging times and. Yeah. Where we were attracting some yuckiness into our life. And she actually came forward and said, look, I've been given this process, and since I've used it, it's changed my life. And I went, well, you know, things happen for a reason. If you believe in the law of attraction, you attract things into your life for a reason.

B (4:22)

In the last podcast, I talked about the law of attraction. So there. You absolutely just talked about it. All right. You have a lot more to cover. So how do you use it with people you meet for the first time?

C (4:32)

Oh, absolutely. Okay. Observation is power and judgment is weakness. So what you've got to do is observe people's mannerisms, observe their dress code, observe how they speak, and introduce themselves to you. Are they allowed people or are they really warm, inviting, and calm?

B (4:51)

Yeah.

C (4:51)

Are they. Are they pushy with what they're trying to get across?

B (4:55)

Right.

C (4:56)

Are they someone that you feel really, really comfortable with and you want to spend some time with them? But more importantly, are they someone that you want to have a beer with and let. And let them look after you after your dog on a weekend? So just. Yeah. You know, where people. People are a little bit nervous when they. When you. When you're meeting them? And some can be really, really overbearing.

B (5:19)

Now, for those. For those people who don't do beer, a cup of coffee, a couple of coffees, or a couple of glasses of wine, be okay.

C (5:27)

Correct Absolutely. Yes.

B (5:29)

Okay. Good, good, good.

C (5:30)

Definitely. Yeah. So it's not just.

B (5:31)

Yeah.

C (5:32)

Defined to beers. Absolutely. Yeah.

B (5:34)

So I think I've actually had two beers in my entire life, and both of those were places where they had nothing. I wouldn't drink the water. It was slightly brown, and they didn't have anything else. So I, those are the only times I had a beer. But I'd have, I'd have a couple of glasses. Wine with you, my friend.

C (5:55)

I certainly would do that with yourself and Jody as well, either.

B (6:00)

So, yeah, basically, you, you added something in what you sent me which I thought was, which I really appreciated. And you talked about a book I wrote, who's in your room, and, and how that applies to the two beers and a puppy concept. So you want to talk about that?

C (6:17)

Absolutely. I, I, your, your book. Yes. Two beers and a puppy. I would read it religiously every three to four months. The, the writing in that is just phenomenal in the way the book was.

B (6:29)

Who's in your room? Not two beers and a puppy.

C (6:31)

That's right, yeah. Who's in your room? That's right, yes. So, okay, go through all your social media platforms, so your Facebook, your Instagram, your, your LinkedIn, see who's actually in there, who's in your room currently, and ask that question. Okay. Would you have two beers with this person? And would you have this person look after your dog over a weekend? Go through, go through your phone. Same sort of thing is that you'll be amazed at the contacts that you've got in there. And are they people who you really want to resonate with and who's going to move you to closer to what you want to be? Do I have. It's a phenomenal process, and you'll be astounded what names you put into what bucket. Yeah. And obviously, what do you do then with the. No one knows that you come up with. Well, in who's in your room, you put a little visualization of a box, and you put the names in the box where you can't touch, and you put a couple of locks on them so they don't get out. So that's where they go.

B (7:34)

Yeah. And you had some thoughts on engines and anchors.

C (7:37)

Yeah, correct. Absolutely. In who's in your room, you say that there's two types of people. There is engines, they're the people that are. They're always going. They're always moving. Moving and inspiring people to what you want to be. Do I have where the anchors, they're the ones that will want to Pull you back. So in this process, when you're doing Two Beers and a puppy, I can guarantee you your yes and yeses will be your engines and your no and nos will be your anchors.

B (8:10)

Yeah.

C (8:11)

And I know that if. And Priscilla might be able to dig out the podcast. She also did a podcast on Hunters versus Farmers. Same sort of process.

B (8:20)

Yeah. So you also wanted to talk was everything you had on two. Two beers and a puppy or two coffees for those of you who don't know.

C (8:28)

Two coffees. Yes.

B (8:30)

Anything else you want to add to that? Because I know you wanted to talk about the BNI PODC that you've heard over the years.

C (8:35)

No, I think that's pretty. Well, it. It is a process. It's a very strong process. I encourage everybody to do it, and hopefully they have the success that I've had in. In using the process to. Yeah.

B (8:51)

Be.

C (8:51)

Be a better person and obviously attract the people into your life to. To get the results you want.

B (8:57)

Excellent. So talk about your thoughts on the B and I podcasts that come out each week. I thought that was interesting.

C (9:03)

Oh, absolutely. To me. And I can only talk about myself, but I see myself having an invisible B and I tool belt on the waist. And as each podcast comes in, you share lots of wisdoms about who's in your room, how to speak when the meeting's boring. Hopefully two beers and a puppy. And we've all got this invisible tool belt to help us to be a better person and to. Basically, it's a jigsaw puzzle. So each piece that comes out each week fills the jigsaw puzzle, and it's another tool that goes into the tool belt. So, yeah, it basically makes me a better person all around, having those tools that I can use and being a better BNI member. So I really do hope that there are other BNI members out there that really look forward to receiving the BNI podcast weekly and using them the way I do.

B (9:56)

Well, thank you. I appreciate that. And it's amazing to me, as I travel around the world, how many B and I members listen to the podcast. And I always know they listen to it because they say, hello, Ivan, how are you? And where are you? So it's like, okay, here's somebody who listens to my podcast.

C (10:11)

Absolutely.

B (10:12)

And there is a link, and I'll make sure it goes into the podcast. Is this for Ross's book or is it an article, two Beers and a

C (10:22)

Puppy, that will be the direct link to. To how it actually works? Yes, how it works.

B (10:29)

All right, so we'll include that link here in. In the podcast, so anybody that wants more information on it can do so. Any closing thought before we wrap up?

C (10:38)

No. Ivan, love your work, love listening to you, and love being a BNI member. And I love the way that BNI is changing the way the world does business.

B (10:46)

Well, Bradley, I. I really appreciate you and I appreciate your kind words, and I hope our paths cross in person again sometime.

C (10:55)

Absolute pleasure being invited onto your podcast, Ivan, and namaste to you.

B (11:00)

Yeah, thank you. Over to you, Priscilla.

A (11:03)

Okay. That was a lot of fun. I really like Ivan, by the way. I would definitely have two beers and you can take care of my puppy.

B (11:11)

Can I? All right. I'm not sure you'd want all the ticks that we have here in Austin on my. On my land, but what are they? Ticks. Those little. Those little insects that give you Lyme disease. So I'm not sure you'd want your puppy running around here.

A (11:28)

Yes, yes, yes. Tics. Okay, well, I'll skip on the. I'll avoid the tics. Okay, here we go.
