Podcast #1 What to Learn from Race Horses and Roller Coasters with Yossi Greenspan

[Music] hi guys welcome to the kosher food podcast we have a couple of guests here today we got cold man I got rusty Greenspan okeydoke rattle thank you and yeah so we're gonna have some discussions today on a couple different subjects but number one is about kosher of mids the nature of kosher foods and goes on kosher bids how it works who's a mentor or ask you some questions let's get a dialogue let's go we go ahead a pick your brain kosher Vince has made you a very rich man you know monetarily aside from aside from being a man of the people yes it has made me rich in simcha I am a happier person because I get to help out people's lives teach them good lessons all of us and obviously more monetarily you your monetary I don't know about I'm not just what I guess what is does not make any money we lose money I guess what I'm asking is for always looking for sponsors if anyone is mine he was the money the initial goal or no it was that absolutely not know so let me just make it clear that the the reason why I started kosher vids is because I first of all wanted to learn how to do videography and I wanted to get bit better at shooting videos and stuff like that I really love telling stories through videos and I decided to make it a project that would help out other people the way to learn is to shoot and the project that I chose was something that I think helps other people you know learn different lessons cool ideas ashcoff halakhah with some entertainment and in humor so that was the real point of it you know it's easy to learn yeah so that's the decimal point of it to learn how to do videography but at the same time to educate people and to help them have a good time that's wonderful that's a great thing and we thank you for that another question yeah hey hey yeah like how how much work would you say goes into your average kosher vids production on three minutes good question yo would translates about how many hours of preparation and good question people have no clue how long it takes to shoot a movie or a video even a two-minute clip on average I'd say if it's like one of our regular three-minute Clips you're probably looking at 25 hours of work that includes like shooting probably like 4 or 5 hours and then it depends really on the clip sometimes it could just be 10 hours editing sometimes it could be 20 if there's special effects and like special things going on so it is a lot a lot of work there is you know learning curve also for me I'm learning on the job so sometimes things take longer because I have to learn how to do that effect and look up how to how to do it but in general they do take probably I'd say about 20 to 25 hours for a 3-4 minute clip which kosher vid character would you say has been receptive by you know viewing population okay honestly I think yours might have hit the high number over there which one was that the janitor the coolest janitor look it up if you didn't see it he did a terrific job at watch you know the questions here yeah yeah yeah so so yeah I did get a good reception from that I think that you know it's doubting out there not that video was later that summer this past summer I actually worked as a janitor for two weeks is that really yeah boy somebody must have watched the video hey this guy's good an extremely ironic you know sequence of events I was hired as a generator by a college and I did dude janitorial work and I yeah you know doing it as an actor once you know I the idea definitely resonated with me but being an actual janitor now that was the real deal experiencing it in real life yeah yeah Cocoa's it was a humbling experience you know I want to know how long ago exactly was it when you first really began this operation good question I would say it's about three or four years ago the reason why this whole kosher foods thing that well the way it started really was that I I'm very into horror I like like scary stuff and I had a like a cool idea for a horror video and I did not want to start becoming a videographer or anything like that I just wanted to tell a story of this idea I had in my brain and put it on video I wasn't planning on becoming a professional anything like that so it ended up being about a three or four month project is an hour-and-a-half video it's online it's called paranormal breakfast it's embarrassing to watch because it was like my first real video slash movie and we shouldn't like you know I borrowed a hand cam from somebody and and we had no idea what we're doing you know I was just like just doing it on the fly but that like once I finished that then I was like hey this was kind of that was kind of fun let me let me try it again and you know I tried another video and then I said hey let me make a project out of this that you know we could spread out to the world and you know hopefully will come super popular and people gained from it and that's how Corbett started yeah so who was really your inspiration you know how did this really take minton yeah what who is the inspiration what was the inspiration I don't know if I'm allowed to say this but when I was a kid I used to watch a movie no but but like you don't have no bar Hashem like you know now but but I'm saying like they don't have you know so many kosher movies and things like that so I think that you'd be cool to like make more cool stuff because there's so there's so much that you can learn from videos or movies and there's such good lessons but unfortunately today's movies and all that media is full of garbage and like really bad information lessons or concepts that can ruin people's brains so it's kind of sad that you know such a powerful tool is used for something so negative sometimes so I'm hoping that you know we can you know show the world that there's something you know with this powerful tool that we can help people grow with a fantastic I think there is a lot of stigma you know when it comes to you know what is that word stigma me Sigma is an interesting word it means like like uncomfortability like like if there's a stigma over 3 million years I got ya got ya could be that's wrong you should not look it up for yourselves alright stigma what they so had what about what how did I say stigma there's a lot of sin regards to movies and other media outlets just in general because what you are saying you know film is a terrific you know platform which you know every time someone presses play on their time screen they're opening their minds someone else's idea sounds all that but yeah so I think what you're doing is terrific I say thank you thank you cuz sock will do do it as way too and yeah Coco Coco Co all right so today's lesson we're gonna be talking about racehorses okay I was in camp this past summer and one of the boys came back and said that he just went to a farm that he that had a half a million dollar racehorse okay and this reminds me of this things from our BM to blazer this great lesson about race horses that he said if you had a half a million dollar racehorse okay half a million dollars okay this thing's meant to race the craziest races in the world and when you great money would you have it one week before the race stay up until 4:00 in the morning eating popcorn chocolate and smoking cigarettes I don't think so why because it's a half a million dollar racehorse and that's not how you treat a half a million dollar racehorse right it's got special diets and crazy things you don't treat a half-a-million-dollar race horse like that no my question to you is like this how much are you worth okay if let me ask you who'da let me ask you right you how much would you pay how much would how much would you take if I would chop off your arm a million dollars if I give you a million dollars would you allow me to chop off your arm No okay if I give you two three four would you allow me to chop off your arm no why coz your arm is worth more than four million dollars okay now that you have two arms two legs two eyes okay how's the so let's say let's say at least we're dealing with a billion dollar machine you're literally walking around with a billion dollar machine I mean like this thing over here these hands that could move it's a billion dollar machine it's a very very expensive machine that you have you walk around with all day long now this machine is obviously given to you to race it's a race horse it's an expensive machine for a purpose you're supposed to race so does it make sense that people use this machine to fill up on candy popcorn stay up till 4:00 in the morning watching TV shows wasting weights smoking electronics are you have a racehorse you have a billion dollar machine that's not how you treat a billion dollar machine you know I I forgot who I heard this from his ingenious line and that is if the if a person smoking if the smoker would know who is the person that is doing the smoking he'd stop smoking okay if that person would figure out he'd get down to it who is this guy that smoking who is he he's a billion dollar machine he'd stop smoking because that's not how you treat a billion dollar machine you wouldn't treat a half a million dollar racehorse like that don't treat your body like that be kind to your body be gentle to your body we are not Toyota Priuses you're Maserati we are Bugattis every person is a Bugatti Grand Cherokee that's correct that is correct should be it should be our lives and to take the idea further furthermore if I may yeah by man all right go ahead please you're doing good Toyota Prius you you drive on the well paved roads and avoid the potholes and and all that but think of yourself is more of a rugged you know vehicle that could that could take a little more it could take a challenge yeah you can go off-roading you could you can go on the uneven you know gravel roads and explore and do things that you thought you couldn't do mmm you could not you you could you could push yourself and through that through taking that sharp right turn off the paved road into the unknown you could see some interesting see some cool side I just you know I I feel it's extremely important to always we have to keep in mind our greatness see our greatness know our greatness definitely you know it's a huge idea you know you integral part really deliver Farkas said a similar idea said that if we would believe in Hashem even a little bit as much as he believes in ourselves the whole dynamic would would look a lot different you know Madonna for never Malachi with God has that diminish my super Kamla Robin moon a circle in media not rather my mood is great and I share absolutely not right as ever is his amudha ami Hashem gave me back in the show if you woke up this morning gems like I let's get it doesn't matter where you fell asleep last night and in what state that was yeah mm-hmm what state you woke up this morning if it's if you're alive you better get going if you're alive and kick'n let's go and sherry give it another chance means you're handed it back alright and you were like let's get it now like that that's cool I did some cool ideas hope they they were receptive by yourself yeah and all those really question with you with an open mind yeah an open heart and much blessing o the pittsburgh shooting because that happen need to be discussed 100% if something like that big happened there's a lesson to it there's a reason why a sham sent it you have to when there's big world events that happen or disasters you have to take a lesson from it's a marshal it's it's meant for to teach you a lesson there's something that it's it's there to teach you something either that we're doing wrong we got to improve on something and every person could take his own lesson from it i'm not saying there's one lesson every person takes what he sees from it i just i want to tell you that it says I was reading mr. Schramm the other day and was saying that the that slow-mo Hamill if he passed by I think of Ashland mo I hope it was dumb I think you're so he passed me a feeling here at kosher is hope yeah we hope I wish llama and he passed by a field full of thorns and weeds and things like that and it was the field of a lazy person and it goes on to say that you know doesn't pay to be lazy but what's interesting is it says that walked by and I forgot the exact lesson I apologize but it was something on this line that he passed by and and he thought to himself about the situation how many of us pass by situations and we don't think about what to learn from it many probably thousands of people I don't know if that hundreds of people probably passed by that same exact field and did not take any single lesson from that field slow-mo pass by this field and say well what can I learn from this everything in life to him was like a mushroom he was always trying to learn things from other things because everything in this world is really a mushroom okay there's we could learn lessons for anything you can learn lessons from your hand you get that right you can learn faster you can learn anything from your different limbs from the world from the Sun from the moon from rocks from ocean from water to learn humbleness okay you can learn tons of lesson you just have to sit there and think and say what does I shall try to teach me by creating this flexible water that goes to the lowest place and doesn't mind if something comes into it just allows it in if forms around it doesn't fight back water humbleness right it teaches me humbleness right why did I shouldn't create tea it teaches me humbleness okay so if you just look you will see lesson and I think that's why you're just hanging it in why it's so important that if such a big event like this happens you got to learn something from it you can't just let it fly by alright what else do we have to talk about Oh Tati my king what do you think of touching a team that is if you guys didn't listen to yet you should it's on YouTube is called Tati my king I dove it some awesome kid back me up helmets and oh let go day my game it has already 70,000 hits I think and 70,000 and accountants yes what's your hit yeah an absolute gem you watching very deep song what are you coming out with you're single oh wow nice to know he does really cool stuff he has one called the truckloads of chesed know truckloads of chef wha wait wait okay yeah wait could we just let them give a little preview of the song it goes how does it go shifa shifa shifa shifa yes chef has this concept of just an abundance like everything is better with more of that mm-hmm so if you had like a little maid it'd be dope if you had a plate of it but what if you had a pan of it you're gonna like blessed got it if you could see a blessed you could see a little bit here and there but you could open your eyes and see like well everything a sham gives you and then like what would it be like if you had a truckload yes yeah so a truckload of a truckload yeah it's in the song trucks like so much there's like you you you there's there's only so many tabs you could be on on your laptop right and some of them could be good some of them could be bad but like in our lives there's so much good filling up all the tabs in our mind that they're you almost like don't have to be learned about things that don't matter things that are stressing you out because there's so much good and once you learn to widen your lens you could have a an eye in time once you once you broaden that and learn to see the shaphat I like that that's a good thought like it's riffing big huh it should be kind yeah yeah I do should we sign off can I do retake on the roller coaster Michelle for sure yeah no guy won't let's just be like okay okie dokie are you ready for this you guys gotta listen because this is going to change your life if you listen closely and I'm not joking I'm very very serious about this okay you need to go on rollercoasters do you go in real coasters I do good okay if you don't go on rollercoasters get yourself a ticket amusement park and go on a roller coaster it's very important for your growth and I'll explain to you why it is what's so interesting about roller coasters when you go to amusement park there are two different people one person is out there buying food and the other person is on the line to go on the roller coaster what's the difference between these two people you go to the guy buying food yeah I'm sorry the guy buying food doesn't want to go on the road I'm too scared all right okay and then there's the guy that goes on the road clusters what's the difference between those two people you go to the guy that says no I'm not going on the road closer I'm just going buy food and play games all day why he'll tell you cuz I'm scared cuz I'm afraid why would I do something that I'm afraid to do right go to the other guy that's on the line to go to the room because they're just played a hundred bucks to get in to go on this okay that's why are you going on this real close or you know he's gonna tell you because because scared I am scared what that doesn't make any sense so if you're scared that keeps you away from the closer or it makes you do the real clue what's going on over here it's right the answer is that the same exact fear that could keep you away from accomplishment and that brings you down and it makes you scared and breathing if you feeling inside of you like oh I'm gonna run away from this situation that same exact energy is energy that could be like whoa this is a life this is fun this is exciting it all depends how you view fear that's right fear could stand for two things yeah they could stand for forget everything and run fantastic okay so so that just as I'm trying to say this same exact way you would me she has the thing the same exact thing that could be used to keep you away from that same thing could be energy oh my gosh I love this right now now I understand okay I understand that that's talking about roller coasters and roller coasters how important is roller coaster okay I'll be honest I did or not but the roller coaster my life exactly the roller coaster is a muscle it's a Marshall if you could do that outwardly in a physical action it can cause a lot of things a domino effect and the insides the feet centers are me arrest us up name is it's more the insides if you could start facing your fears that you're scared of you hate going ons but you fortunate so he's gone you're like yo and you're like yeah like my heart's pumping that's where I'm at that's who I am wow I like this it's going to have a domino effect if you allow it to if it's at Mario's thing I'd be less scared to thwart and maybe not even less scared maybe you'll still be scared to face you know some some big fears in your life but you will face it with pride and pleasure it will be fun I mean when I go to dub for them it if you're if I'm scared I'm gonna go up there and I'm gonna say to myself you know what I like it when my heart's pumping and Ammal nervous that means I'm alive and kicking cuz that's what life's about life's not about being on the other side life's not about just not doing any work and not having to face any of your fears it's about being in the grind it's about feet be in that situation that your hearts pumping and you're fighting and you're not sure are you gonna be successful or you know how are you gonna feel are you not even even just like just day-to-day things like you know opening a new business you're not maybe I'll lose all my money maybe I'll lose everything I ever had is it gonna work out is it now that and then you do it anyways and you stick through and you're loyal to your ideas and you you pull through and boom wow that who you are you are what you accomplish through fear through facing the fear and coming out the other end you are nothing else and I want to tell you like this when you come to shamaya okay let's say you have a guy who's a very good-looking guy charismatic cool guy right so and everybody likes some popular guy you know super popular guy when he comes to show Mayan it could be he is nothing and it's the scariest you know thought to think about such a thing when he comes to my note they're gonna tell him I know what I was gonna say where are you he said what do you mean where am I there's some I hear I'm beautiful face that goes straight to me then at all charismatic you see how many friends I have you saw popular I'm a cool guy I shouldn't say that faces it yours said that's mine I gave it to you to borrow it was just a tool I even took borrow to see what you can build with that what did you build with that what does build mean facing fear going through places where you're uncomfortable you have to be vulnerable you're not sure if you're gonna be silly do it anyways and you persevere did you do that no oh so yeah you are nothing that face those of yours you never earned it you work a stitch for that beautiful face not a stick not instead she did it yeah all the tools your hands your feet that's not I gave that to you did you work for that you didn't deserve I gave it to you as a tool I want to see what you create with that William a car of people with your charisma and your coolness and you're right did you did you do anything great with it no oh so then who are you I'm sorry we can't let you in over here this is meant for people that that persevere that worked your fear now that's what life's about life's about going through the grunt it's a war zone now you're thinking your brain like oh my gosh like this guy's depressing me like oh the whole life's live at war and like so what I'm supposed to be depressed my whole life and just sad walk around like all this place stinks or not or that's the source of fun job that is what fun is like like the roller coaster like one guy's like we'll go start here I'm running away from me and the other guys like no actually embrace it yeah that's actually what I like that makes it that's where I am that's who I am that's my life swords alive and kicking and he runs yeah he embraces it if you could learn how to celebrate how to enjoy yourself on the war zone if you could learn how to enjoy yourself on the war zone it to celebrate in warm beulah yeah and enjoy that and be fun that's what this world about if you could enjoy you are going to be a successful person yes ah yeah cuz once again by definition accomplishment by definition there's no such thing as accomplishment that does not have it with its with it some fear some uncertainty some vulnerability that you had to go through it's impossible to have any true culture think back at any accomplishment and your life thing any accomplishment in your life did you ever not have some uncertainty some vulnerability some fear involved in it it's impossible wouldn't be in a competent a true accomplishment yeah you did what what is it yeah the lifeguard actually had the job it was bad how did you get back in the water after all the water that came hey everybody knows can you swim in the deep boundary good I don't know that's since the nan khatai alright okay so there you have it okay he faced it he failed but he got back up again and went back into the grind so you know what this is bond I like being scared yeah cuz that's that's what that's what you have to do to accomplish in life yeah I'm not saying do anything stupid or dangerous or whatever it is but I am trying to say it yourself definitely inside a person has to go through this that you are going to have to face situation you're gonna have to face people you have to introduce yourself to people thank you're not sure maybe he's gonna reject me maybe I'm gonna regret guy rejected by this guy baby he's not gonna like me right and you're gonna you're gonna go and if you like that you'll never have any friends you'll never be successful in business in learning to go over to hover Esau and say hey you want to learn with me right if you're scared and it but if you're like I like that I like when I'm vulnerable I like when I'm not sure that's what life's about you are going to accomplish much more and you're going to have a much greater life that's what I have to say what do you think about that cool you mention a word vulnerable which burn a brown a burn a brown if you did not listen to burn a brown it's a must listen to it's on
