Amberly Lago: How To Survive Unthinkable Pain

27:32And so, he was all about the praying, but he's like, you got to dig. You want something, you got to work for it. And that's how I grew up. If I wanted something, I had to work for it. I started, you know, babysitting at age eight by 13. I had a real job by high school. I had four jobs and that's how I saved up enough money to move to LA. Um, yeah. So he, he was a great role model, um, and, and always said some amazing things. I think you are, I can tell you, I was just sitting here. One of the reasons I wanted you on. I only have 52 spots here. I told you this, right? One of the reasons that I wanted to have you on is there's this thing I've been saying for a long time.

28:10I didn't make it up, but you're most qualified to help the person you used to be. And the fact that you've had such suffering and such pain qualifies you to help people who are suffering in pain. I just want you all to think about this. Her life was on one trajectory and God had another plan, but she followed the path with the work. So, she's in the fitness industry. She's in all these vitamin bottles, right? She's got that life. Bam. The accident, the SUV, the foot hanging off dangling, amputation coming in a coma for a week, wakes up. Who'd have thought when you were laying there in that bed, waking up going, I have a 99 % chance of losing my leg.

28:49And then after that, in and out of wheelchairs up until last week, that you would become a bestselling author, this unbelievable speaker, have a massive following on social media that millions of people here, and by the way, very lucrative career speaking and the other things you do in your coaching group and your mastermind. Like it's incredible what the possibilities are when you get to the other side of pain. And the other side, everyone, doesn't mean it's gone. It means you have a different understanding and mindset from that pain. The pain may persist. I think some people think even in my case, like, well, and you're a very wealthy dude or whatever.

29:25There must be no difficulties. I just have a different set of problems. But you and I are talking off camera about some things that I've got going recently. It's like, yeah, I have them, but my mindset is different. So, I'm on the other side and I'm a different person with a different set of problems now. And in your case, this has always been there. One of the things I love about you is your vulnerability. Because even prior to the SUV hitting you, this has not been easy street for you ever in your life. And what I love about you, the reason you're connecting, the reason you're successful is you're authentic and vulnerable.

30:00Most people hide their fears and anxieties and sins and mistakes. You don't do that. You say, here's who I am because that's how you connect with somebody. And you've been courageous enough to talk about in your lifetime, some very difficult things that have happened. And when I was prepping for this, before you got here, I'm going to tell you this now, I was waiting to tell you. I said a prayer about our conversation today, but I actually found myself, I was weeping a little bit. And the reason wasn't the SUV accident. I'm picturing this eight-year-old little girl. And I knew a little bit about it, but I didn't know all of it until today.

30:37So, and already your face has changed. Don't make me cry, okay? I was like, you're going to make me cry today. So,

30:46sorry, I'm making emotional. So take us back to when you're an eight year old little girl. Now you're. Um, well, you know what? I think I cry when I feel safe around someone. Safety is like a big deal, especially when you grow up in a home that's not safe. That's an honor that you feel safe with me. Yeah. And, uh, yeah. So my, my mom and dad got divorced and she quickly remarried, um, a man who at first First, you know, I was, oh, this is amazing. All he does is buy us all these cool toys and everything. And then they got married and everything changed. And he sexually abused me. And I knew it was wrong.

31:31And I knew like your gut doesn't lie. And I would say it's wrong. And he said, no, this is how dads teach their daughters. And I just from that moment on, I never felt safe. and it continued and he told me that if I said anything that he would kill my mom and I believed him and um one day I finally got up enough courage to go to my dad and tell him and you know I I wrote about this in the book in my book and this was the hardest thing for me to write about because I didn't want to hurt anybody you know I didn't want to hurt my mom or dad and uh and it was so hard to write about. But I told my dad and he didn't tell anybody.

32:16I said, Dad, you can't tell anybody. He didn't. And it was a cry for help. I just wanted to have help and to feel safe. And he didn't do anything. And in that moment, there were a couple of things I thought. Number one, I thought, well, I'm not worthy of protection and love and just looking after. And then I thought, well, if I am going to be safe, it's up to me to make sure that I'm safe and I protect myself. And just something switched in me. And the next time my stepdad came in my bedroom, he was a big guy. I kicked him. And I remember pulling his hair and I hit him and punched him as hard as I could.

32:57From that day on, he never laid a hand on me. He would say things and look at me and I remember, you know, like things like we'd be at the kitchen table and my mom would have her back to us and he, they, he'd be looking at me and be like, you wait till your mother leaves. Like, so when I say didn't feel safe, I started to never be home. Like I was at the dance studio. I ended up, like I said, worked four jobs. Um, and I think looking back, I would never wish that on anyone. But because it wasn't safe, and there was so much pain, and a lot of shame, I think that pain pushes you until your passion pulls you.

33:43And I was determined to save up enough money to move to LA. And people are like, you're making a big mistake, you'll never make it. And I was like, I am so out of here. And I knew no matter what, I was not going back. I was not going back. And, you know, a month later, I was dancing and had a job at two different dance studios and two different restaurants. And I was in L.A. for 31 years. What an extraordinary woman you are. Oh, thank you. It's been a lot of work healing. And I remember I never I thought I'd healed. I thought I'd, you know, I'm over that. I've healed. I've, you know, and I remember going to a therapist about a boyfriend and it was about a boyfriend, not about sexual abuse.

34:33And she flat out said, have you been sexually abused? And I was like, yeah, but I'm over that. And she goes, you're not over it. And she gave me some books to read. And so, and I thought, okay, I read the books, gone to therapy. I'm over it. In the middle of writing my book, I was like, I still am not over it. And I don't know with healing. I don't know if you ever like completely heal. I think there's so many layers. And now I was triggered the other day. Something that just like that made me feel more safe. And those feelings that I felt when I was a little girl with my stepdad walking into my bedroom, it all came back.

35:16And I got scared and then angry and frustrated because dang it, I thought I healed this. but now I can identify it and I don't have to run from it. I know I have tools to get through it and I can talk about it. That's perfectly said. That's how I feel about things that have happened to me which are far less to the extent that have happened to you. They're nowhere near the same thing but I actually have gotten a grip on it in my life that a healing something doesn't mean that it goes away like this thing on my hand right here is healed but there's still a scar there and that scar still reminds me of different things and when that scar comes up or the scar on my leg or the scar on the back of my head, those scars are there for a reason.

35:56I just picture this little girl and like, this is what made me so emotional is this man who's trusted with your care violates you like this repeatedly. And then you go to the other man who's supposed to protect you. And he really doesn't either. And so, of course, that has an impact. And then learning to protect yourself and draw closer to your faith are these amazing lessons. I want to go to one more hard thing because I want people to understand the real. I think a lot of times on podcasts, it's almost like they're designed sometimes like sitcoms. And then at the end, everything's solved. Yeah.

36:31You watch a sitcom when we were kids growing up. At the end, there's a problem. And then everything's better. And at the end, you fix it all. And you go on to the next week, right? Rainbows and butterflies. Butterflies, right? And podcasts are like, I used to be screwed up and now I'm not. No, we're all. No, I'm still screwed up. Me too. Me too. Still messed up. I'm in the process. And I think God's using our screwed up at NIST to help a whole bunch of other people because success leaves clues. Healing leaves clues. I actually give you a secret at this stage of my life. I kind of dig when he gives me problems now and insecurities now because it actually gives me work to help other people.

37:05And you don't have to have a camera on you to do that. Like these things are being sent my way so I can impart lessons on or contribute to other people. And so you do fix things, then you regress, then another hole opens up and you fix that hole, right? And in your case, man's probably pretty justified with all the stuff that's happened to you between the stuff in your upbringing, then the accident. But then over time, you're in real pain, emotional pain, but you're also in real physical pain. So you start to kind of use substances to heal your pain. Like there's almost no one sharing the stuff you share, right?

37:43So between the accident, the sexual abuse, and then there becomes this part of your life, the stage of your life where you're probably starting to use substances in an unhealthy way as well. Oh, yeah. So I think everyone needs to hear this because there's someone that need, they're coping in an unhealthy way. I think a lot of us are. I mean, I realized I had no idea that I was running from my pain my whole life. I was running from the pain, running from the shame, because whenever I felt those feelings, I would go run. People would say, oh, yeah, you're the running girl. I see you running all over town.

38:21And then I'm stuck in a hospital bed. I couldn't run from my problems. And I'm staring down at them. And I couldn't do anything except for feel these feelings that I didn't want to feel. And I would stare down at my leg, all scarred up. And when my nickname was legs at the gym and I was, you know, modeling, fitness modeling. And now look at me. I'd lost 20 pounds of muscle. I was out of work. We were$2.9 million worth of medical expenses. We had a lien on our house. when I was the main breadwinner and being out of work it was it was like I pain emotionally financially in every way and I was trying like I said all these medical treatments that weren't working and I remember one day having a glass of wine and going oh this kind of helps me stuff down on the pain and the shame.

39:23And I was like, this is, I really thought to myself, why didn't the doctors just tell me to knock back a glass of wine? Like this stuff works and it worked until it didn't. And, and, and at the same time, being in the fitness industry, I thought this isn't the healthiest thing to do, but if this is what I have to do to get through the day, then I'll do And I remember trying to get through the day and eventually, you know, the nighttime kept creeping up into the day where I was drinking earlier and earlier, earlier and earlier. And then it was like I would make this promise to not drink and then the pain would be so excruciating.

40:03I was like, I just need to dull this pain. And that's the thing, you know, I think so many of us, we don't want to feel the pain, whatever kind of pain it is, and we try to stuff it down. We gamble too much, eat too much, drink too much, whatever it is, work too much in order not to feel those feelings. And I think that that's what I was doing. And it got really bad to where I went from drinking wine to vodka, and I was sneaking my drinking. So imagine trying to sneak your drinking when you live with a cop. And that takes skill. It takes some real skill. He would come up and he'd look in my eyes like, have you been drinking?

40:44And I'd be like, no, what are you talking about? Like what? You know, it was horrible because I was living this double life and I was trying to hold it all together, trying to make it look OK from the outside. And on the inside, I was dying inside. And I mean, I think that when your outsides and your insides don't match, that's when it starts to fail. That's when things start to get bad. And I knew I needed help. I knew deep down I needed help. And my husband was the first person I told. And I was like, I think I have a problem. I said, I think I need to go to like a 12 step program. He's like, you don't.

41:22He didn't know how much I was drinking. and um nobody did i was like a closet drinker i wasn't one of these people out in the bars no i was trying to like numb out the pain and um i said i think i got a problem he goes you don't have a problem he goes anybody that was dealing with as much as you're dealing with would be drinking and i was like i knew and i think that's the thing we have to ask ourself the question because we know deep down inside when something's not right or we have a problem with something and And so I called a friend. She was actually, it took a lot of courage because she was a former client of mine.

41:59And I knew she was sober. And I called her and I was like, I need help. And she was, I'm going to take you to a meeting. And I waited around for a week and I never heard back. And I thought, I need help now or I'm going to die. Like, it's that bad. Like, I'm going to die. and um i googled 12 step and i found a meeting that when my husband was going to be at work and my daughter was at school so i went from sneaking my drinking to sneaking going to a meeting and scarier than any surgery anything i'd done was deciding to walk in that room and i watched these women walk in surgery it was because i was like felt like it was such a contradiction of who I'd been my whole life.

42:49This picture of health and fitness. Now I'm an alcoholic. And I went in that room. My hands were shaking. I was now physically dependent on alcohol. So I had tremors. And I remember Googling, why do your hands shake? Duh. It's because you're physically dependent on alcohol. I sat in the back of the room in between a nun and a cowgirl, like this lady with cowboy hat and a nun in a nun suit. And I thought, well, if a nun can be an alcoholic, so can I. And I just listened. And in that room, I heard hope and people that were sharing my story, things that sounded like, yeah, that's how I feel. And I kept going back and I kept going back and I stayed sober one day at a time.

43:40And, um, it's awesome. Yeah. It's been a journey. It's been a, it's been a journey, but it has given me my life back and, um, and more there's gifts of sobriety. And I always think as long as I stay sober, I can do anything. And I'll say it's been a journey because this last week I was in so much pain and I was in a hotel room by myself and you know i used to drink by myself i didn't want anybody to know i was drinking and in the hotel room i in that excruciating pain i'm laying in bed with my leg propped up on pillows and i look straight ahead and it says mini bar and i got up and i was like i wonder what's in that mini bar i've never i never never caught my eye but that that pain is what triggered me.

44:32And I actually opened up the mini bar and looked and that scared the crap out. So I put some clothes on and I went downstairs and I was like, I'm going to get some dessert. I ended up getting a whole pizza. I don't eat pizza. I was like, I'm getting a whole dang pizza. I went outside, sat by the pool. I prayed and I called my sponsor. I got a full stomach. I always say, halt. Never get too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. And that helps me. So. Wow. Wow. Listen to you. What a conversation we're having. How incredible. Just this week. Just this week. So I'm not saying it's like I got sober and everything's great.

45:13That's my point. It's not a sitcom. Life is not a sitcom. You know, I was thinking as you were talking, I want everyone to hear a little kick in by me here. You may say, well, I'm not dependent on alcohol, which, you know, my coping mechanism is an alcohol or I figured out what mine is. Cause all these years I'm like, I had all this pain in my life too. I'm first time I've ever said this out loud right now with you because you've been so courageous. I'll say what mine is. Never said this on the show ever. I'm not a drug addict. I'm not an alcoholic. I'm not a gambling addict. I'm probably a worrying addict, but I don't know if that one counts or not.

45:44So I've always been like, what's my coping mechanism? How do I do it? Because I'm so engaged with people like when I do this, but I know what it is. I've become addicted to disassociation from feelings. I just realized it recently. I'll make other people feel things, but I don't allow myself to feel a lot of love. I don't allow myself to feel a lot of joy and bliss, not to the extent that I should. So my coping mechanism, I think when I was a little boy, was to disassociate from what was happening emotionally. And I think that may be the greatest addiction in the world, right? For many of you listening, it's your disassociation from feeling feelings deep.

46:26And it's insidious and it's subtle, but I have to tell you all, I think it's become what my addiction is. I only feel things a little bit. I only enjoy things a little bit. I detach. Disassociation, detachment, I think is my coping mechanism. I become so good at it that I don't need a substance to do it. I can just turn it off. I've become good at that. So I would like all of you, as I share that, just to evaluate for you. We all probably have some type of coping mechanism. I have other healthy ones, working out, running, lifting weights, right? They just asked me last week, they said, well, you can't work out for a week.

47:02I'm like, what do you mean I can't work out for a week? I'm like, a week? I was like, no, I have to work out. And they're like, what are you, a fitness addict? And I was like, I don't know, maybe. I guess there's worse things. There's worse things, right. Right. There's there's nothing with being a faith addict, a fitness addict, a contribution addict, a love addict. These are all good things. Right. What is pacer? Oh, well, you know what? My husband, he we were sitting at the dinner table and I had my leg propped up on the table. It was all swollen. And I guess I looked like a wreck, like a mess.

47:37And he said, you know what? You need to pace yourself. I don't know being an entrepreneur it kind of offended me I was a little offended like pace myself what I like going fast I like going I like doing and then I grabbed one of the dinner napkins and I started writing down I wrote down pace and what do I do to pace myself okay then I had to add the r because I learned the hard way how important r was but pacer stands for perspective acceptance community endurance and the last part is rest and it's everything and i still remind myself of this like when i'm feeling tired anxious worrying too much uh if i'm resentful if i'm just in a lot of pain and i go to this to and it snaps me out of it so perspective the easiest and quickest way to shift the way you feel about your situation as we talked about earlier is with gratitude And sometimes we need someone to kind of shift our perspective about things.

48:41My husband's really good about doing that. And, you know, one day I was like, my daughter is a runner. My youngest daughter, she loves to run. And I was like, she wanted me to run. I said, what a shame. I can't run with her. I can't run anymore. My husband's like, ride your bike beside her. And I was like, oh, yeah, that's a good way of looking at it. And I was grateful that I can ride a bike. But acceptance, I think, is the beginning of any transformational journey. It's like really accept because I was in denial for so long. I was thinking as you're drinking, you finally had to accept the fact that you were sort of powerless over this alcohol, right?

49:17Oh, completely powerless over it. I had to accept that I had this nerve disease and try and that. Yeah, I might have to take medication for that when I was like so stubborn, didn't want to take medication instead would drink like that's better, you know. Right. But acceptance really puts you in the driver's seat. I think when we know who we are and like even the things that are hard to accept when we accept those things, it's like we can do something about it. And I think when you own who you are, like nobody can use it against you. Yeah. You know, like, yeah. You want to say that I used to drink too much?

49:56Yep. You got it. I am full blown alcoholic.

50:02Like you want to say, oh, man, like in and man, tick tick tock can be brutal. My daughter told me I was too old to be on tick tock. And I was like, well, then I'm going to be on tick tock. And the first video I posted, it was the first time I put my tap shoes back on ever. I was like, squeezed my feet back into these tap shoes. I didn't even know if I could tap dance still. And so I put the camera up. I start doing this tap dance and saying, you know, the first time I'm dancing. and so many years and this and that after my motorcycle accident, some of them were very funny. Some of them were brutal, like, don't post your leg again.

50:39I saw it and I'm going to throw up. And don't ever, you know. But because I have accepted my scars and I had help with that, you know, my doctor, Dr. Wiss, is the one who really did that for me. I remember going into his office, telling him, and this is about a year after my accident, He saved my leg and it was giving me so much pain. I was like, Dr. Wiss, I appreciate all the surgeries you've done, but it's just giving me too much pain. I need you to go ahead and amputate it. And he goes, we can't do that. He goes, you have a nerve disease and it could spread if we amputate. That's not an option.

51:19And he did something. He took my leg and she put it in his lap. And I remember thinking, I can't believe he's putting my deformed, ugly leg on his nice white coat. And he looked at it like it was a masterpiece. Like, look at what he saved. And in that moment, something shifted. And I thought, if he can look at it that way, maybe I can too. And once I started to accept my scars and share what I was going through, it led me to community. And I think that's the most powerful part of PACER. I think we're strong alone, but together when we come together, we're unstoppable. And when we can share those vulnerable moments, it creates a deeper connection.

52:02and whether you're an entrepreneur or you're a mom chasing kids around the house you you don't have to do it alone and then e is for endurance and i think athleticism taught me a lot about endurance um and the r is i learned the hard way is is rest and if you really want to be resilient strategically planning times to rest because i would go and go oh my gosh why did i feel like crap oh i didn't even make time to eat or i need to make time to even get up off zooms and go use bathroom you know what i mean i relate to that big time drink some dang water on my 11th back i totally really yes do you think mohazi the hardest questions i'll ask couple here just because i feel like this is an extraordinary master class conversation that i think will be shared beyond the reach of my show this has been so good and our show reaches millions of people, but I actually think this is going to go reach potentially 50, 100 million people just because of the nature of the conversation.

53:02So, I'm going to ask you a couple hard things. What's the purpose of all this? I know this sounds very theoretical, but you ever sit back and wonder like you were born and then God deals you this hand where this man's charged with your care and he starts sexually abusing you. You go to the next guy who's your actual birth father and say, kind of protect me. He really doesn't. Flash forward a few years, you finally turn around, and build a great life. Bam, hit by an SUV. Right? And then God goes, I'm going to give you pain the rest of your life. Chronic pain. You can't get rid of it. You think you're going to lose your leg.

53:36It gets saved. Then it's so painful. You want to lose your leg, but can't lose it. You survive all of that. Then you start knocking back too much alcohol. So then you're suppressing that pain. Yeah. And then even this week, you're in a wheelchair, right? Yet today will help 50 to 100 million people, yet you've got books and another book deal you've just signed and Instagram. What is the deal with this life thing? Like, what do you think this is all about? What the purpose of it is? Why you were born? Why you exist? Why this happened to you? Do you give any time evaluating that and thinking about it?

54:13Well, I think we heal and then we help others. That's what it's all about. Like, we just continue to heal and grow and then see how we can help others. And, and, um, I remember, you know, my husband comes in, he goes, you don't have to do so much. You don't like, he sees me when I'm in a lot of pain and he's, it's hard. Cause you know, you, I go speak at an event and when I'm on stage, I have no pain. I have no pain right now, just being with you. Um, and then I get home and I'll crash. And he sees that unfortunately. And And he's like, you don't have to do so much. And I said, if I just sat here and stared at my leg and focused on my pain and talked about my pain all the time, I would be I'd probably never get out of bed or do what a lot.

54:59You know, the nerve disease I have is dubbed the suicide disease because people slowly kill themselves with drugs or alcohol or they commit suicide, unfortunately. But what gives pain purpose to me is helping other people and going to be of service. And even when I was going through that pain in the hospital or even last week, I was still reaching out. People were like, I can't believe, you know, I know you're recovering right now. And I'm like, no, it's okay. I can, you know, I'll look at your website and give you the edits on it. You know, because it takes you out of your pain when you can help somebody else.

55:43And like I said before, there's always joy within us. We have to find ways to ignite that joy. For me, one of the ways I ignite joy is when I can help someone else. And I realized my purpose here is I love seeing that light go off in someone. I love when I can help someone and see them soar and see them launch their podcast or go on stage or write their book. And I remember being a little girl when I first noticed that. And I don't know why my mom let me do this, but every Friday night, she would let me hang out with all the band from the football game. Football's huge in Texas. And we'd go to the Dairy Queen and they'd put money in the jukebox.

56:25And I was like five years old, five, six years old. They would put me on the table and I would dance all night to the music and the jukebox. And I danced because I saw the people's faces. They would smile and they would clap and then they would dance. And I loved it was in that moment. And I realized I love being able to spark joy in others. And that's, I feel like, one of my favorite things to do. And so I've thought about what is the purpose of all of this. And I think when God, when something happens, I ask, okay, what am I learning from this? I don't get stuck in why is this happening to me?

57:03I always go, what can I learn from it? What can I do differently? How can I get better? Well, what else can I do? I can't walk. And it's even, you know, I can be upset about having to use crutches. And I'm like, but crutches are still moving me forward. You know, I get upset about a wheelchair. Well, I got a nice guy pushing me all the way through. I'm riding in style. You know what I mean? And then they had a wheelchair waiting for me when I got to Dallas. Start talking to the guy and we had the best conversation. And I even started filming it. And he was a ham. You know, there's always a way to spark joy.

57:42So I don't know. I think we all have a purpose and we all know it deep down, like it's something we might take for granted or it comes easy to us. Like, Ed, you are so good. One of your many superpowers is you just have this way of connecting with people and you see them, you make them feel seen. and there can be a whole room full of people and you make that one person feel seen and you make them feel special you just have a magical way of doing that thank you i'm seeing you today second time i just you're such an extraordinary woman i uh you said a few things there about you love watching people soar and i'm sitting here watching oh i'm watching her do this right now it's kind of cool i feel like i'm the i'm like the dairy queen with the jukebox my show is and I'm just giving you this table today and you're just doing exactly, you're bringing this joy and inspiration to millions and millions of people.

58:36This little five, six year old little girl was doing it for 30, 40 people, 50 people at Dairy Queen. Now she just did it today for millions and millions of people and how God's used all this pain in your life to take you full circle and I'm watching you soar and this is exactly what you're supposed to be. Like, I'm so grateful that I asked you to do this today. I'm so grateful that you, I about fell off the couch when I got your text message that you asked me to be on the show, just so you know. And it's been the most exciting thing like ever. I mean, I'm so grateful because like I said, this is my favorite show.

59:13Thank you. Did you hear yourself today? Is there any part of you that has you heard yourself? I know you've done lots of podcasts of it. Is there any part of you that just heard yourself today and went, oh my gosh. No. This is pretty damn awesome. Oh, this is pretty awesome to get to be with you. I mean you. I mean you. I mean you. Thank you. I mean it. I'm very grateful. I'm really grateful. Every single minute and second of this today was precious and absolutely blessed. I mean, you're just such a blessing and you've helped so many people today. I want to make sure they find you before I let you go because they're like, this woman's amazing if I haven't heard her from her.

59:50So where do you want to send them? Where do they go? Well, you can go. Definitely not TikTok. I'm kidding. AmberleyLago.com and I've got free resources. Actually, they can get a free video from me every single week for a whole year. That's awesome. It was a lot to record. Sure was. But it's free and it's just a way, it's called the Rise and Thrive video series and it's all for free. It's just a way that I can give back and give people tips and tools on how to grow and be resilient and how to speak on stages and do a podcast. but it's amberleylago.com forward slash thrive to get that. Forward slash thrive.

1:00:30And by the way, you're immensely qualified as I started out today. And by the way, you should be following her on social media. I follow her on Instagram, but TikTok, Instagram. She's got a YouTube channel. She's got a book. She's got another one coming out here in the next, I don't know, year or so. She's going to start writing and put that out, podcast, everything. Just go find all of Amberley's stuff. Thank you for today. Thank you so much. Thank you. It was awesome. All right, everybody, share this thing. Do I need to ask you to share this one? I seriously doubt it. So, hey, listen, everybody, this is why we do the show, what you just saw here today.

1:01:00The only thing I ask is that you spread the word about the message of our show and the difference we make in people's lives. And I just want to tell you once again, God bless you and max out your life. This is the Ed Mylon Show.
