Part 9: Transcript of Jeff Dedrick's In Search Of Heroes Interview" by Ralph Zuranski
Ralph Zuranski: Hopefully it will awaken the hero in everybody. It’s there. It’s just waiting to come to fruition and have them realize that they too can be a hero. Well, how are you making the world a better place?
Jeff Dedrick: I know that I’m starting from home. I know that if you said, "Could the world survive without my businesses or my pizza places?" Now, the fitness clubs are a little different because I was really shaping people’s lives. The success stories that I had in those clubs were great, people that dropped 100 pounds are now living longer.
People that were getting off of medicine because they were so heavy that they were taking 20 pills a day and now are down to 2 or 0. That was a nice feeling. On the Internet, even though I’m helping people, am I really changing the world? That is a tough one.
Now, your stories are great. These can change people and make a difference. I know that I’m making a difference by paying attention to my family and my daughters, that’s how I make a difference.
Ralph Zuranski: Do you have any good solutions to the problems facing society, especially racism, child and spousal abuse, and violence among young people?
Jeff Dedrick: Oh, boy. There again, some of that can again boil down to maybe it’s just the luck of the draw for these people. It’s having strong role models because like you said they need those heroes. They need the strong role models to pattern their lives after and to not associate with some of these characters, weaker people with problems.
It’s one of those tough questions. So many people are in bad situations and they feel like it is out of their hands. It is out of their control. People need to just be able to take and look at their situations and realize they do have control.
They do have somewhere some type of control be it distance themselves from the bad situation or start making better choices for themselves. You always have some type of control so people need to just look at how they can better themselves and take control back in those situations.
Ralph Zuranski: If you had three wishes for your life and for the world that would instantly come true what would they be?
Jeff Dedrick: There are obviously for the world you want major things like having no poverty and having peace and for there not being all of the natural disasters that are just killing people and ruining people’s lives. Obviously, all of that I would want, true.
I guess I always think on a smaller scale. My immediate family and friends, I want all of the happiness for them and for them to reach their goals and their dreams. That’s what I want the most.
Ralph Zuranski: What do you think about the In Search of Heroes program and its impact on youth, parents, and business people?
Jeff Dedrick: I think it can have a huge impact. As I understand, Ralph, you are going to be expanding this into other areas, or possibly people are listening to this it’s already expanded into a lot of different areas. If people can find a hero that they can relate to be it outside of Internet marketing, it it’s in different businesses, if it’s in different areas, if they can relate be it if it’s a female or a male of different races, that’s what’s going to be great.
To expand this to include more and more people it’s just a better chance that people are going to be able to relate and they are going to be able to realize that they can change or they can make a difference in their own lives.
Ralph Zuranski: Hopefully the program will go to every local community and people will go in search of local different individuals for making a positive difference in the lives of others. As opposed to the people that are the sports’ stars and the movie stars, the rock stars who don’t have any real value to society other than how much money they make and how screwed up their personalities are.
(laughter)
Maybe people like them so much because they don’t feel so bad in their own lives because these people’s lives are so messed up.
Jeff Dedrick: Yeah, they don’t realize that. I don’t want to name celebrities but some of them are so messed up but people are hanging on their every word or looking at People magazine or Us or whatever the magazines are in the newsstand as though these guys are experts on anything. All they are doing is maybe singing songs or making movies and that’s it. Otherwise they are screwed up.
Ralph Zuranski: That’s the reason for the heroes program is for other people to realize, especially young people that the real heroes are the moms and the dads and the next door neighbors and the coaches and the teachers that are making a positive difference in their lives.
Jeff Dedrick: Totally, I 100% agree again, Ralph.
Ralph Zuranski: I really appreciate your time, Jeff. I know how busy you are and it’s just a real pleasure to talk to somebody who has had a good childhood and a good college and has been successful and hasn’t gone through all of the trials and tribulations that most of the people that I know have.
That really, I think, goes back to the quality of your upbringing and just how valuable it is to have a mom and a dad who are people that keep their word and live what they say and pass that on to the young people.
Jeff Dedrick: Definitely.
Ralph Zuranski: Thanks again, Jeff Dedrick. I appreciate your time.
Jeff Dedrick: Thank you very much for having me here.
Ralph Zuranski: You are very welcome.
