JenkinsTranscript from Chad T. Jenkins with Jason Barnard on Fastlane Founders And Legacy. The VCR Formula™[So now, you have the building blocks to reach whatever level of success that you really want. [How can we quickly build a profitable business that stands the test of time and becomes our legacy? A legacy we're proud of. Fastlane Founders and Legacy with Jason Barnard. [Welcome to the show, Chad T. Jenkins. [[Before we jump into that, I always Google my guest's name, and here we have Chad, who's a baseball player. This is a super duper big problem that people don't really realize. When you show your name is somebody famous, you kind of get lost in the Google results. So I added a T.[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[If we're gonna collaborate, we're gonna become something together just by combining you and me together. It creates something new and magical. And a lot of folks don't see it yet that way, which is a lot of the work that I do, is to help entrepreneurs begin their journey of a mindset shift to leveraging the art of collaboration.Because it, I would argue, is part of the fundamentals of humanity. When we decided as a human race that we do not want to be part of the food chain, I realized that if I would buddy up with Jason, the lions and tigers did, could not eat me. 'cause if you think about it, we as humans are not that fast. We're also not that strong.How in the heck do we rule the world? Collaboration. [[[It makes a lot of sense. But you talked about your farm childhoods, where you bring two things together. I like that. [And I would argue that that is when we all receive what I classify as our constant question. This is a question that you apply to each and every environment person that you interact with. But your question is different than mine. And later on I'll share my question. But around eight, I can't recall if it was just school children that were sharing that their father made more than mine did, but something piqued my curiosity. And I probably came up with the number that I presumed that my father may 'cause of course it was more than anyone else in school. And I thought, how in the world am I ever gonna make that? And then coinciding at this exact same time, I believe I got exposed to Manhattan from a far. To the credit, I didn't go to Manhattan until I was about 40 years old. Probably been 50 times now. I've been to a lot of places on the planet, but Manhattan wasn't one of 'em. But at eight years old, I got exposed to it and I remember being on the farm putting up barbed wire fence or mowing pastures. And I continued to think, how in the heck am I ever gonna get outta here? 'cause then I'm not sure if you know about that in France. But then, South Carolina gets quite hot and extremely humid. And if you're outside working all day, it's very much unpleasant. So I wanted to be outta there and I felt at the time that I had nothing. I was eight years old. It was completely not true. And it seemed like there was someone turned the lights on and I began to see the world.I would argue in it's most authentic expression. So things, I see what they can be used for,...
