And it just happens to be literally in our side yard.

Jason Shelfer 0:38

Yes, it's 1.5 miles from our front door to the whole facility.

Jana Shelfer 0:44

Do you think God was doing us a favor there?

Jason Shelfer 0:47

100%.

Jana Shelfer 0:49

We literally could drive our boat over and hop in and do a little meditation. Yes. Do a little journaling exercise.

Jason Shelfer 0:56

We could ride our bike out the back gate and just end up almost in Tucker Ranch.

What The Wellness Resort Includes

Jana Shelfer 1:02

So what what are we to expect there?

Jason Shelfer 1:06

Well, I don't know. We're gonna we have the head of parks and recreation for Winter Garden coming over. They're gonna give us a personal private tour of the facility.

Jana Shelfer 1:14

We get a Jana and Jason tour.

Jason Shelfer 1:16

So it's not quite complete. So they've done a huge overhaul. I think they've had architectural firms from all over the country bidding on this design and build.

Jana Shelfer 1:27

Did you know they're trying to make Winter Garden the healthiest place in the world?

Jason Shelfer 1:33

Yeah. Well, yes. And that's that's a massive.

Jana Shelfer 1:37

Right? I mean, that's like a that's a lofty goal.

Jason Shelfer 1:42

Right in with what we're doing with our helping people get the best mindsets in the world.

Jana Shelfer 1:48

And we just happened to be here.

Jason Shelfer 1:51

I know, and we moved here 10 years ago.

Jana Shelfer 1:52

Well, does that feel like a pawinky day?

Water And Daily Peace

Jason Shelfer 1:58

And then we moved right here next to where Tucker Ranch is 11 years ago now. Okay, so explain how this Tucker Ranch Well, they're bringing in the so they're building all these wonderful buildings and gardens. Gardens, and they're gonna be growing vegetables, growing organic food. They're gonna have a uh education center where they bring food directly from the garden, sh bring in chefs that prepare the food, talk about the nutrients of the food, yes, and how like sustainability, the health of the body, mind, and spirit all in the same area. Water all around. Water is what two-thirds of the planet, and it's also a a large portion of our bodies. So all this stuff is going on.

Jana Shelfer 2:48

There is something feng shui about having water just in your home, having a view of water when you wake up.

Jason Shelfer 2:57

Water brings me peace. I mean, it's a there's a a tranquility being around water.

Jana Shelfer 3:04

What is it? There's water, wind, fire, and earth. And earth. Those are the four elements.

Jason Shelfer 3:10

As far as I'm aware.

Jana Shelfer 3:12

There's probably more.

Jason Shelfer 3:14

There's probably more in gold, baby. Gold. Dig.

Bringing Yoga Chefs And Mindset Talks

Jana Shelfer 3:18

So from what I have read, they're actually gonna have chefs out there that are gonna be cooking with all these fresh herbs from the garden.

Jason Shelfer 3:27

And they're gonna bring in yoga instructors, uh, Pilates, they're gonna bring in people like us to speak to people about mindset, how we might live a better, bolder tomorrow than we are today. Yes. So it's it's just perfect for who we are, where we are. When we talk about the right people, the right opportunities, the right timing, all that just falling into place. We're traveling all around the world and all around the country to go meet people where they are. And now people will be traveling to meet us, which is going to lighten the load and give us more opportunity to just build the courses. I mean, we have a studio here in the house.

Jana Shelfer 4:06

I know.

Jason Shelfer 4:06

So it's going to allow us to utilize the space we've already built here for ourselves and travel out the front door to their front door.

Wild Ideas For Getting There

Jana Shelfer 4:16

Or out the back door. I mean, literally, we could get a our jet ski.

Jason Shelfer 4:20

We could go ski for a a couple hours. Ski into it.

Jana Shelfer 4:24

That could be part of our show. Like, hi, I'm skiing. I mean, I've been thinking about joining the Cypress Garden Ski Team. Why not just form my own John's Lake Ski Club? Actually, we already have a Living Lucky Ski Club. Why not make it so that we ski into Tucker Ranch?

Jason Shelfer 4:40

There you go. And then that's a new addition to what's available at Tucker Ranch. Seriously.

Jana Shelfer 4:48

I I mean I know we're dreaming and scheming. However, this could totally be a thing.

Jason Shelfer 4:53

There are endless possibilities. We get the paddleboards back out.

Jana Shelfer 4:58

And and paddleboard over there. I mean, can you paddleboarding 1.5 miles?

Jason Shelfer 5:04

Yeah, that's a well by lake. I don't know that it's that far by lake.

Jana Shelfer 5:08

And if the tide is going in the right direction.

Jason Shelfer 5:11

There's no tide. The wind. The wind, I mean.

Jana Shelfer 5:14

The only problem is You gotta come back. You gotta come back.

Jason Shelfer 5:17

Hey, just more exercise. So what I'm The wind's always at our back, baby.

Why The Community Needs Support

Jana Shelfer 5:23

What I'm picturing though is if we could go over there even once a month and do a little Jana and Jason seminar action, little put on put on the put on the show. And even a retreat every now and then, a workshop.

Jason Shelfer 5:42

It's I I feel like it's desperately needed. I mean, I when I look at the news, when I watch anything that's happening out there in the world, uh when I sit at the local coffee shops and I just hear what's going on.

Jana Shelfer 5:53

Yes.

Jason Shelfer 5:54

It's uh it's hard for me not to want to jump into a conversation. And that sounds really weird. Like it's not judgmental. It's just I hurt for the people that are hurting. And I hear it in conversations.

Jana Shelfer 6:06

Do you hear it? I do. I don't hear it as much. I don't know if I if people just don't want to tell me.

Jason Shelfer 6:12

I think I'm just I'm nosy. So I I will I hear it as I'm walking by. And I I also have very you're very good at being present with the people that you're with. I try to be very present, but I also have a lot of trouble with background noise.

Jana Shelfer 6:29

So I so you're hearing to the background conversations.

Jason Shelfer 6:32

Yes.

Jana Shelfer 6:33

Whereas I kind of feel I mean, it used to be where people would always tell me their troubles. Yes. I mean, we went through that phase, and then I I literally was like, why is everyone telling me their troubles? What is it about?

Jason Shelfer 6:48

Why am I the dumping zone?

Jana Shelfer 6:50

Yes, this can't happen anymore. So I did a lot of work on myself, and now I feel like when people do come to talk to me, they want to tell me their best selves.

Jason Shelfer 7:01

Right.

Jana Shelfer 7:02

They want to tell me about their best.

Jason Shelfer 7:04

Let me tell you about the wins that I've been having.

Training People How To Treat You

Jana Shelfer 7:06

Yes, which I like that so much more. That's so much better for me.

Jason Shelfer 7:10

Well, it's because we we you talked we talked in previous podcasts about training people how to treat you.

Jana Shelfer 7:17

Yes.

Jason Shelfer 7:18

And that this is one of those things where it's like when you hang around with winners, when you talk about your wins, it doesn't sound like bragging.

Jana Shelfer 7:25

So people like to tell me their wins, and I love that. So please continue to tell me your wins.

Jason Shelfer 7:30

So when I'm walking through a coffee shop, a lot of times I will hear things about people having trouble at home, people having trouble at work, people having trouble with their finances, people like all these quote unquote issues that people are having in life. There's it's a struggle.

Jana Shelfer 7:48

Yeah, I'm I'm gonna just shield myself from all that. I'm gonna live in my little bubble.

Turning Issues Into Opportunities

Jason Shelfer 7:53

Right. Well, every issue is just an opportunity, right? And it's just how how are you deciding that you are having issues, or you are deciding that you're having opportunities and Living Lucky®, and how is it working for you?

Jana Shelfer 8:06

Yeah.

Jason Shelfer 8:07

And that's that's the the opportunity. So I love the idea of having the possibility of going to Tucker Ranch once a month, putting on a conference, a mini conference, a massive conference.

Jana Shelfer 8:19

No, or a mini workshop, like a little weekend.

Jason Shelfer 8:21

Yeah.

Jana Shelfer 8:22

Maybe a Saturday.

Jason Shelfer 8:23

If we could help 25 people a weekend, that would change the landscape of our community or whoever's visiting the community massively in no time.

Jana Shelfer 8:35

I love that so much. I think that we need to bring that up. Maybe start planting some seeds because hey, it's a win for them as well. If we could start getting a little community going there, we could even have a meetup coffee there once a month.

Workshops Meetups And Mobile Podcasting

Jason Shelfer 8:50

We could. I mean, we've got a mobile. We've got mobile podcasting. We could go do a podcast there once a month and then follow that with a workshop.

Gratitude Closing And Visit Link

Jana Shelfer 9:00
