7 Entrepreneurship Lessons from Elders' React Rock (aka MY DAD!!)
From the Fine Brothers’ Elders React to 40+ years of lessons in entrepreneurship growing a business in Los Angeles, my dad, Rock MacKenzie Gritz, taught me many entrepreneurship tips...all while my dad was an addict.
While you may know him from FineBros, this video gives you a behind-the-elder look at my dad’s entrepreneurship advice to growing a multi-million dollar business, and if you’re looking for help in setting boundaries in relationships, how to forgive your parents, how to be more generous, how to grow your business in your zone of genius, or how to go from solopreneur to CEO, this video will show you the life and entrepreneurship lessons that my dad taught me during his life.

LOVE Lives On Forever
523,600 minutes. The musical “Rent” has been playing on the backtrack of my mind since my dad died. Particularly the songs, “Without You” and “Seasons of Love” - probably more so the latter since Decky loves the song because it has numbers in it.
523,600 minutes.
523,000 moments so dear.
523,600 minutes, how do you measure a year?
EACH ONE OF THOSE 523,600 MINUTES IS A MOMENT TO LOVE.
To show yourself some love by getting enough sleep.
To show others your love by writing a kind note or private FB message.
To show your family your love by being fully present with them.
To show strangers your love when you share your voice from a stage or Youtube or on a podcast.
How many minutes a day are you leaning into love?
Like REAL, passionate, full, shakes-you-to-the-core, beams-from-inside you love?
Love is a many splendid things.
Love lifts us up where we belong.
Love makes the world go ‘round.
All you need is love.
The number...
All You Need is Love
Have you ever had a labor of love that was so deeply personal, you just felt you had to get it right - not for you - for the other person?
That’s how I’ve been with this upcoming Youtube video and re-release of our Crown Yourself channel, or as I like to call it…
QUEEN TV...OR THE SOVEREIGN STATION.
Both work - haha.
AND THIS LABOR OF LOVE HAS BEEN TERRIFYING FOR ME. I’VE LITERALLY BROKEN OUT IN HIVES, LOST MY VOICE, AND PUSHED THROUGH BECAUSE IT MEANS SO MUCH.
You see, it’s for my dad.
And yes for me.
BUT THIS FIRST VIDEO IS REALLY A TRIBUTE TO MY DAD.
And a little known, but very weird true fact...my dad was a Youtube Star.
Seriously.
Yes, at 68 my dad’s Hollywood dreams came true - finally. He was one of the old guys on a Youtube show called “Elder’s React.” He’d react to the latest viral videos, video games, trends, Kim Kardashian breaking the internet, music videos, and other random stuff.
...
WTF is it with FOMO?
You know when you’ve been telling your partner something for...forever. And then suddenly they hear it from someone else, and it just CLICKS!
Sure, you have to check your ego. But, once you do, you feel SO FREAKING EXCITED to be on the same page.
Well, that is what yesterday’s Mind-Body Movement Masterclass was like for me!
I brought in my friend, Physical Therapist, Holly Vaughn - she basically has the entire alphabet of PT creds and certifications behind her - to speak to our Mindful Monarchs Membership.
And I had Spikey, who is our Communication Coach for our VIP Mindful Monarchs, co-lead, and co-host with me.
And daaaaaaayyyymmm…
BECAUSE HE WAS ON LIVE HE GOT HIS QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS ACHY SHOULDERS AND ARMS ANSWERED…
BECAUSE he was on LIVE he got actual tactile tools to use to help his body…
BECAUSE he was on LIVE he also had a game-plan that he has already put into action.

Bad Pain vs. Good Pain
Oh, it hurts so good - you know the feeling - when you’re totally crushing it in the gym. You push that extra mile. You do that ONE, LAST rep. You do 10X more sit-ups because you’re just in the freaking zone.
That is what we call good pain.
GOOD PAIN COMES FROM GROWTH. IT COMES FROM THAT DEPTH OF SOUL, OF YOUR PERSONAL POWER WHEN YOU LEAN COURAGEOUSLY IN TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE.
And it doesn’t just show up in the gym.
I see it all the time in my client’s businesses.
When they stretch themselves to hire their first team member…
When they power through their launch and get their first sign-ups…
When they FINALLY build that passive income funnel that brings them in their first $19 while they sleep…
When they tap into their Zone of Genius and work less while making more…
That is growth pain.
Because there is a curve of adaptation to BECOME that version of you where your next level of success is freaking normal.
But there is a...
Why does this hurt?
Have you ever had one of those annoying pains that just don’t go away? Ever been in the middle of a really big project and then suddenly - WHAM! - out of nowhere, you pull a shoulder, twist an ankle, and down you go?
Having worked with high-performing bodies with high standards for a righteous butt-kicking whether in the Pilates studio or mentally with business-upleveling coaching - for over 16+ years I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen productivity tank when the body craps out.
Whether it’s a nagging ache that disrupts your depth of sleep, or a serious injury that completely curtails your morning gym routine, your greatest tool as a leader is your body.
...IF IT AIN’T WORKING RIGHT, EVERYTHING CAN FEEL TIGHT. CONSTRICTED. CHALLENGING...PAINFUL.
That’s why I’m so excited to announce our new Mind-Body Movement Masterclass series!!!!
Every month I’m bringing in magical, amazing experts who are true masters in their fields to work with...
How to Find Nuggets of Gold in Your Relationships
Gold, wealth. Shining, shimmering, splendor. When we think of riches and money and wealth, it’s easy to think about it in the traditional fashion - stocks, bonds, investments, trusts, and cold hard dolla dolla bills.
But how does money work...I mean, reeeeeeaally.
Everything in life is a relationship.
You have a relationship with your body.
A relationship with your business.
And, yes, even a relationship with your money.
Money is transferred through relationships.
That’s where the GOLD is.
Banks have relationships with other banks.
People have relationships with public companies (aka stocks).
You have a relationship with your family (aka trust.)
It is in the relationships of our money that we navigate the waters with our money.
Did you know that an unprecedented $68 trillion will pass between generations over the next 25 years?
And...sadly...
70% of family wealth is LOST by the second generation AND...
90% of family wealth is LOST by the third generation.
You’re...
What’s Your Life’s Legacy?
Death gives us a very clear reflection of our own mortality.
In the past month since my dad’s passing, I’ve seen the beautiful gift that death is.
For without death, what is life?
It is the end that allows us to assess the means of living.
IF OUR HUMAN BRAINS COULD COMPREHEND ETERNITY, WE’D HAVE NO FEAR OF THE BEYOND OR IF THE INFINITE OR OF THAT WORD...FOREVER.
Losing my dad has allowed me an exploration of my own life and the standards by which I live.
The standards of how I show up as a mom.
The standards of what I do as a business owner.
The standards of the giant Why, that Spike and I are going towards.
Instead of getting caught up in the gentle, suffocating hum of mediocrity, experiencing death first-hand has shocked me into living.
Things I didn’t even realize I had put off out of fear, I’m doing.
Dreams I hadn’t dared dream yet, are now in the planning stages of coming to fruition.
Goals I had put off to...
How Do You Get Back in the Swing
Ever dropped the ball? Made a mistake? Fucked up?
Of course, you have…you’re human.
And if you haven’t...well then liar, liar pants on fire.
IT CERTAINLY DOESN’T FEEL FUN TO BE WRONG, TO MAKE A MISTAKE, TO LET SOMEONE DOWN. BUT, THERE IS THIS THING CALLED LIFE...AND SHIT...WELL, IT HAPPENS.
The question is…
What do you do about it after?
How do you make amends, mea culpa, and pick up the balls and start juggling again?
These past few weeks as I navigated through grief and spearheading my dad’s memorial, I messed up. I dropped the ball. I rescheduled so many things. I fucked up.
And you know what...it’s okay.
Because one of my deepest values is PERSONAL GROWTH.
IN MY BUSINESS, WE TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER IN OUR CORE VALUES AS GROW OR DIE.
And, frankly, success is a crappy teacher.
Your mistakes, messes, failures, and fuckups have so many nuggets of freaking GROWTH GOLD if you just choose to look at them through the...
Starting the New Year...Now.
Here we are in February. January was in a word...growth.
Losing my dad was hard. It’s still hard. And grief is a process. There are moments when I remember a funny thing he used to say or something I used to nag him about that brings me to tears within an instant.
But the space in between those memories and the present moment is widening, creating a beautiful space for transformation.
I miss my dad. I will always miss him in the form that I knew him.
As I took time off to heal, to grieve, to process, to allow, I got to see all my amazing fellow go-getters kicking ass and taking names…
New year! New You!
Unstoppable 2021!
Momentum! Growth!
Take it to the next level NOW!
5 years ago, I would have slapped on an additional serving of shame and guilt for NOT “being there.”
You know...not in the hustle, bustle, and exhilarating growth of it all.
But I’ve done enough internal work to know...
There is a time for the...
