Hey, everybody. This is Russell Brunson, welcome back to the Marketing Secrets podcast.
Today, I want to talk to you a little about legacy and what that actually means.
I had a friend who passed away yesterday, and still kind of dealing with it. But
because of the legacy that he’s created and what’s happening, that’s the thing that’s
helping me to process this and to be okay with it. And I want to show this to you
and hopefully it gives you guys some meaning for the work that you do as well.

All right, everybody, yesterday we lost somebody who, honestly, one of the people…
I didn’t get to know him super well. I talked to him a few times, watched him speak,
and then had messages back and forth through Instagram and things like that. Someone
I have a ton of respect for. His name is Collin Kartchner some viewers may have 
heard of him before.

First time I heard of him it makes the kind of Boise, Idaho, he did an assembly 
at our kid’s school, talking to them about the dangers of cell phones and social
media and TikTok and Snapchat and all these things. And man, one of the most charismatic
people, funny, like just awesome. He Was able to connect with kids at a level that
they had. It’s just amazing.

And ever since I follow him on Instagram, it’s funny because he’s got, tens of thousands
of followers and they’re all kids and he only follows one person, which is his wife.
He’s like, I know it’s ironic that I’m on Instagram with all these things, but I’m
trying to save the kids from these things. And at Instagram he posts these pictures
of people who hear him at assemblies like, I was planning to commit suicide today,
I came to assembly though and I realize now it’s because of social media. I deleted
these apps. I changed my phone, got rid of my phone and just like person after person
like, if you want to go to Instagram and see what legacy looks like, go read through
his posts and see the tens of thousands of lives that he’s affected because of his
message.

And I watched him as he did this, like when he came to Boise, he spoke our schools,
needed an event. We all went to it and a bunch of other things and trained parents.
And I think as he got paid, I don’t know, two or 300 bucks to come and do his thing,
like almost nothing, but he had a mission. He was called to serve a group of people.
And for him, he was called to serve children to serve teenagers. And to help them,
to help protect them from the damage that social media is causing. And he’d always
used the #SavetheKids, #SavetheKids. And like, man, he was just, and he was consistent.
I saw him traveling from school to school, city to city, state to state, making 
almost no money because he loved the people he was called to serve. How do I save
these kids? How do I do this in a way where I can motivate them, inspire them.

And he had to go through all the things that you guys are going through as business
owners. He had to learn how to find his voice. He had to learn how to craft a message,
how to keep people’s attention, how to find it, like all the things he went through
because he had a mission and he knew it and he knew the people he was called to 
serve.

And now it’s just so sad. Like he’s 40 years old, passed away and a couple things
are interesting. And I’ve been like all day and all night, just reflecting on this.
Like, I can’t imagine… My wife and I were talking like, what happened if I was dead
or she was dead what would you do? And especially when you’re out in the public 
eyes so much, there’s, I feel bad. His wife, obviously tons of texts and messages
and she’s posting like, no, we’re not fine. No, yes, it’s true. You know? And like,
so hard. And then somebody, I don’t know, a friend threw up a GoFundMe page less
than 24 hours ago. It’s less than 24 hours to go through this, GoFundMe page. And
you know, I’ve donated a lot of GoFundMe things. I’ve never, I ended off from, I
went and I donated, I shared on my page and then I just kind of watching it, as 
it’s grown.

And right now it was created 20 hours ago. And it is about to pass $200,000 in donations.
And this is not like a whole bunch of $10,000 donations. This donation of by 3,300
different donors. 3,300 people, when they heard about this tragedy came to this 
page and donated their 10 their 20 their 30 bucks to show Collin and his family,
how much he meant to them. And again, we’re 20 hours in, my guess is within, a week
or two it’s going to be 40 million half who knows. But man, what a Testament to 
the work this man did. Right? And I saw one of my friends posted, the thing and 
said he only dedicated his life to saving the children. And now his children at 
home without a father and we need to help save their children.

And I just like in tears, I’m like, Oh my gosh, like this man who dedicated and 
donated so much of himself to save kids. And it’s like, what’s the least we can 
do. Right. But again, sorry, like I keep thinking about this. I keep thinking about
like, the legacy like, it’s so sad and it’s so horrible, man. This person is a 40
year old. Did this thing put this thing out there. And how many, like the ripple
effect of this one man’s life, like what’s going to happen? Like how many other 
kids that are going to be affected and then their kids and then their kids and generations
will be served because this man was on earth because he followed the calling. He
heard the voice, right? He was called to serve a group of people. He did it with
his whole heart, his whole soul.

And it’s just interesting. You guys seen the movie It’s a Wonderful Life where at
the end, Jimmy Stewart goes and… Or at the very beginning, Jimmy Stewart has a chance
to his life was like what the world would be like, he wasn’t born and you see this
like, happens to Bedford Falls and it’s just horrible. It’s, and then he comes back
and his life. You see like how great things are because he hit that one person who
was on this earth.

And I think, I hope that someday when we all have a chance to meet our maker, that
he sits down with us and says, I want you to see the ripple effect that your life
created. And I hope I pray, I think that’ll be the greatest gift any of us could
get, is to be able to see like the opposite, kind of like Jimmy Stewart, a little
bit different, but like here’s the lives that were affected because you came to 
earth because you followed your calling because you were willing to step up amongst
the heat and the pressure and the stress and all the things and, serve the people
you were called to serve.

Because what’s interesting is it’s never just the people we’re called to serve, 
right? It starts with them. But then it bleeds into their families and their kids
and then their kids’ kids and then their communities and like the ripple effect.
We can never see it. We can never track it on our own. Man, how cool it’d be someday
to be able to sit with our maker and he shows you like, hey, this is the ripple 
effect that your life had.

I think in a small way with Collin Kartchner’s Memorial fund that they went up 20
hours ago, we’re able to see this ripple effect through 3,300 people in 20 hours
have donated 10, 20, 30 bucks to raise almost $200,000 so far for this amazing family.
And anyway, it’s just one thing that’s been sad for us and our family, but then 
man, I just hope that things I’m doing that someday, I have this kind of legacy.
Not that I want you all donating to my kids when I die, but just the impact, right?
Like this one man’s life had on the world. And I hope that he is having that chance
right now, sits with his maker and be like, and having a chance to really understand
what he did, and the impact it really does have.

So anyway, I guess I’m sharing this with you guys, because I know that a lot of 
times this journey is lonely, it’s hard, it’s frustrating. But it wasn’t supposed
to be easy, right? It was easy then how would you have the impact, right? The difficulty
of it is I think how you’re prepared for it. It’s how you prepare for the calling.

Like I wish I could say that, this click funnels journey has been all sunshine and
roses. It’s been brutal yesterday and yesterday I got beat up bad by four five different
places where I was just like, why am I doing this? You know? And then to hear Collin’s
thing. And like, I think the only thing that can be through yesterday was like looking
at him like, Oh my gosh, look at the impact he’s having like someday. I’m hoping
that people say about my life, about my work and by the things I’ve been trying 
to do, as imperfect as I have been in and I will continue to be, I’ve done my best
to try to follow what I believe is right. And so hopefully it gives you guys just,
I don’t know. I just it gives me hope, gives me excitement gives me purpose. I hope
it does for you as well.

So with that said, I think Collin Kartchner for his impact on the world, and I want
to thank you for your impact on the world. Don’t ignore your callings. Don’t ignore
that voice that tug that feeling. It’s just like, I got something in here. I need
to change someone’s life. I know I got something don’t ignore that. Don’t walk away
from that. That’s something that’s real, it’s there, right? In the scriptures it
says that many are called, but few are chosen.

I think about that a lot. Like I think all of us get the tug. We all get the prompting.
We all get the, whatever you want to call it, right? Where you’re like, I should
go help this person. I should be doing these things. I should be creating this stuff.
We all hear that we all feel it. Many are called, but few are chosen because most
people don’t listen. They don’t follow through. You’re chosen by your actions. If
you heed the call and you move forward and you do the thing then our maker gives
you a little bit more, he says, Hey, this person is a good steward. And I gave him
this idea I gave him this inspiration. They were a good steward of, let me give 
you a little more ideas. Let me give you another idea. And as you keep doing that
and keep doing that, gives you the ability to have this huge impact on the world.

So anyway, hope this helps for somebody who’s listening out there. I appreciate 
you all. I appreciate the opportunity I have to serve you guys, and I hope I’m doing
it right. I’m doing the best of my ability. I promise you. I can’t tell you of the
sleepless nights, I have just trying to figure out how to make sure I’m doing the
best things for you guys and the community. A lot of hard decisions, but it’s worth
it. So I appreciate you guys keep fighting, keep having the impact and someday you’ll
have a chance to see the ripple effect that your life had on so many people. Thanks
again. And I’ll talk to you soon.
