00:00So, if you have questions, comments, issues, and challenges,
00:03Drago, we've chatted for a little bit before,
00:05so I'm going to see if anybody else has stuff they wish to wish to talk about.
00:11And I will vamp for a moment or two.
00:19What have I got saved for interesting stuff later?
00:25My wife and I have been together 15 years.
00:29We have a 14-year-old, not biologically mine,
00:31and a 12-year-old, which is mine.
00:34That math is troubling to me.
00:36Guy says, I got a vasectomy five years ago.
00:38All that got the all clear that I was sterile.
00:40We've been having unprotected sex ever since.
00:44Recently, we were having a discussion, and she asked,
00:47what would you do if I told you I was pregnant?
00:50I said I would ask for a paternity test,
00:51and she was shocked, and she said she was hurt that I wouldn't trust her.
00:54I explained that I'm sterile, and if I go and get checked and I'm still sterile,
00:59that I 100% would want a paternity test.
01:03She says she would give me one, but after that, would want a divorce.
01:07Am I crazy here?
01:08Or if I get checked and I'm sterile, is it not reasonable to get a paternity test?
01:12Sorry to be doing a Stevie Wonder here, but the phone's in the way of my screen,
01:14so I've got to read around it.
01:16All right.
01:19I think these are two people that I've talked to before,
01:21and I'm not saying I don't want to talk again,
01:23but I want to give some little elbow room to new people.
01:30Yeah.
01:32I don't know.
01:33If you've been together for 15 years,
01:34you have a 14-year-old, not biologically mine.
01:39Did you marry her while she was pregnant with some other guy's kid?
01:46I just don't know.
01:48I just don't know.
01:50Now, James, if you could also type any questions you get in from X as a whole,
01:54I would appreciate that.
01:59Quite shockingly, the Church of England,
02:01ah, the good old CV,
02:03decided this week to cover the interior of the oldest cathedral in England in graffiti.
02:07No, no, no.
02:09People called Romanus, they go towards the house?
02:13No, it's not a Monty Python sketch.
02:14They cover the oldest cathedral in England in graffiti
02:18in order to represent the voices of marginalized communities.
02:24Did they do any of that
02:25for the half-century of industrial rape
02:30inflicted upon little British girls?
02:36Nope.
02:37Where was the Church in the industrial-scale, Rotherham-style mass rape
02:43that was going on since the 1970s in England?
02:48Wild.
02:49The very Reverend David Monteith, Dean of Canterbury, said,
02:54There is a rawness which is magnified by the graffiti style,
02:57which is disruptive.
02:58It is unfiltered and not sanitized.
03:01This exhibition intentionally builds bridges between cultural styles and genres
03:05and allows us to receive the gifts of younger people
03:07who have much to say.
03:11They're just
03:12strawling.
03:14I hate graffiti.
03:15I hate graffiti with a burning, biblical,
03:19Old Testament flamethrower passion.
03:20It's shitty minds
03:25scrawling
03:25shit on buildings
03:27that they can't possibly build
03:29themselves.
03:30And here they are
03:31scrawling it
03:32this filth
03:34on the eldest cathedral in England.
03:39It's
03:40absolutely
03:42amazing.
03:43Did you know that life insurance executives in America reported a 40% spike in deaths
03:51among the healthiest Americans in late 2021?
03:5640%.
03:57Spike in deaths among the healthiest Americans.
04:00Huh.
04:02What could it
04:03possibly mean?
04:05What could it possibly be?
04:08Absolutely
04:09shocking beyond words.
04:10All right.
04:12Let's go with our callers.
04:16Agartha.
04:17Voici ce en-dures-mine, ma frienne.
04:19Don't forget to unmute.
04:22Oh, thank you, Stefan.
04:23What's on my mind?
04:25Quite a few different things.
04:27I wanted to apologize for making a fool of myself
04:31last time I was on here.
04:33But also, I just...
04:34Sorry, what happened last time?
04:36Oh, yeah.
04:37Honestly, this happens quite a few times
04:40whenever I'm on your show.
04:41But I think it's just because
04:43you're so smart in comparison.
04:47Sorry, when were you last on the show?
04:49I recognize your voice.
04:50I just can't recall.
04:51Yeah, I think like yesterday.
04:53Oh, yeah.
04:53Okay.
04:54Oh, yeah, yeah.
04:54Okay.
04:55I got it.
04:55Yes.
04:56So go ahead.
04:57Oh, yeah.
04:58So one of my whole...
05:01One of my points I wanted to get across
05:02was the appeal to authority argument
05:05that you made last time
05:07in terms of
05:08how come a police officer
05:09could use a force
05:11when detaining someone
05:12as compared to,
05:14let's say, a gangbanger.
05:16And I just figured like,
05:18all right, well, we share like,
05:20you know, I'd say
05:21a lot of the ideologically same views.
05:25So it wasn't something
05:27I was necessarily expecting.
05:29That being said,
05:32when it comes to,
05:34like, let's say my own body
05:35and like, let's say my own choices.
05:38So from like a utilitarian standpoint
05:41or let's say a consequentialist standpoint,
05:45I would say it does make sense
05:47that other people can use force
05:51or like, let's say,
05:53do blank with my own body.
05:55But from like, let's suppose
05:57from like, let's say
05:59a libertarian perspective.
06:03Okay, I need you to gather your thoughts
06:04and get to a question, please.
06:06You're scattered here.
06:07So a good thing to do
06:08is especially if you're going to speak in public,
06:11write it down ahead of time.
06:12So you're not trying to sort of
06:13figure it out on the fly
06:14because that's not working.
06:16My bad.
06:17All right.
06:18So let's see.
06:20What are your thoughts
06:21on suicide rights?
06:23Well, people have the right
06:27to kill themselves.
06:29You have the right
06:30to destroy your own property.
06:33I mean, nobody's going to go to jail
06:35if I take my phone
06:36and smash it against the wall.
06:37If I take your phone
06:38and smash it against the wall,
06:39that's a different matter.
06:40But my own phone,
06:41I can destroy my own property.
06:42Your life is your own property.
06:43So you have the right
06:45to destroy yourself.
06:47Now, with regards to
06:49is it good or bad
06:50to kill yourself?
06:52Well, I mean,
06:53I can certainly think of situations
06:55and I'm obviously happy
06:56to be corrected on this.
06:57I can think of situations
06:59where I could understand
07:00why someone would kill themselves.
07:01So an obvious one is
07:03if you are
07:03in some sort of terminal illness,
07:07you're bleeding money
07:08like a stuck pig,
07:09you're in constant pain,
07:11it's just going to get worse.
07:13There's no cure
07:14and you might want to,
07:15you know, punch out early,
07:18so to speak, right?
07:18I can understand.
07:20I can understand that.
07:22And that's, of course,
07:24the sort of philosophy
07:25behind the MAID,
07:27medically-assisted-induced death
07:28in Canada,
07:29which unfortunately
07:30is targeting younger
07:31and younger people
07:32with healthier and healthier organs.
07:34Pure Falunca coincidence,
07:36I'm sure.
07:37But I can understand that.
07:40I have nothing
07:42but bottomless contempt
07:44for people who kill themselves
07:46when they have a family,
07:49when they have children.
07:49And I've talked to a number
07:51of people over the last 20 years
07:52of doing this show
07:54where they have come home
07:56and found, you know,
07:58that the dad sucked a shotgun
08:00in the study
08:01or hung themselves
08:03in their room, even.
08:04I have absolutely bottomless
08:08Catholic contempt
08:09to never bury them
08:10hallowed ground.
08:10I think it is one of the ugliest
08:12things that you can do
08:13if you want to kill yourself
08:15to do it in a way
08:17that is clearly suicide
08:18when you have a family,
08:19you have a wife,
08:20you have kids,
08:21because you are traumatizing
08:22them forever
08:23and I would have
08:24unending contempt
08:26for someone like that.
08:30So, those are sort of
08:32my basic thoughts,
08:33if that makes sense.
08:35Oh, yeah, yeah.
08:35So, like, another point
08:36was going to be,
08:38you know, I find,
08:39like, this whole topic
08:40and including consent
08:41to be, like,
08:41a kind of an interesting topic
08:43because, like,
08:45well, like,
08:46we wouldn't want
08:46the government going in
08:47and, like, subsidizing,
08:48like, a maid,
08:50but, like,
08:51let's suppose someone
08:52like Mr. Rosenbaum
08:54sees a kid
08:56armed with an AR-15
08:57and says,
08:58shoot me N-word,
09:00would that be consent
09:00to then shoot them
09:01or would he have to
09:02then run up
09:03to a Rittenhouse
09:05to then get
09:06offed?
09:09Let me ask you something.
09:10Hang on, hang on, hang on.
09:11Let me ask you something.
09:12In terms of consent.
09:13Hang on, let me ask you something.
09:16And I mean this
09:16in all seriousness
09:17and I'm genuinely
09:18curious about that.
09:20What do you think
09:21is the biggest moral issue
09:22in your life?
09:23Your life,
09:23your personal life,
09:24the one you're living?
09:26Biggest moral issue?
09:31That's insanely personal.
09:37Philosophy is personal.
09:38Philosophy is how you act
09:39in your life, right?
09:40Okay, let me ask you
09:43another question.
09:44If you don't want
09:44to answer that,
09:45that's fine.
09:45I mean, I think that
09:46philosophy is practical
09:47and I think philosophy
09:48is supposed to help us
09:49in our lives,
09:50but let me ask you
09:51another question.
09:53Is Mr. Rosenbaum
09:55screaming,
09:56shoot me N-word
09:57at some guy,
09:58anything you've ever
10:01seen or experienced?
10:04Seen or experienced?
10:06Oh, fuck.
10:06You know what?
10:08I'm going to be real
10:09with you.
10:09I kind of went
10:10full retard
10:11some time ago
10:12and like last year,
10:16a cop did like
10:18point a gun at me.
10:20This was like
10:20a traffic thing
10:22and I remember
10:24what I do.
10:26I said shoot me,
10:27but then he lowered
10:28his gun to like
10:28my legs
10:29and I was like,
10:30oh, fuck this.
10:31Then put my hands
10:32behind my back
10:33because, well,
10:35if it's aimed
10:36at my chest
10:37or head
10:37at that point,
10:38you know what?
10:40A whole bunch
10:42of bad stuff
10:43happens, so.
10:44And why do you
10:45think you
10:46asked a cop
10:47to shoot you?
10:50Why?
10:56And I appreciate
10:56the honesty,
10:57I really do.
10:57that's like
11:02super personal.
11:13Felt like
11:14it was in a,
11:14my life was just
11:15in a downward spiral.
11:18Um.
11:22And you're the guy
11:23who's 5'10
11:24and 250,
11:24right?
11:25Yeah,
11:27like back then
11:28I was like
11:28220-ish.
11:29Okay,
11:30that's not,
11:30I'm just talking,
11:31I'm just identifying
11:32you from yesterday.
11:32Okay.
11:34And again,
11:35you can do broad strokes
11:35and nobody even
11:36knows your name,
11:37right?
11:37So,
11:39you can do broad strokes.
11:40What was going on
11:41in your life
11:42that it was spiraling
11:43down so much?
11:44Uh,
11:45I think,
11:46oh yeah,
11:46like quite a few
11:47different things.
11:48Um,
11:49um,
11:51well,
11:51two different things
11:52specifically I would say.
11:54I said some really
11:55dumb stuff
11:56to like this one.
11:57All right,
11:58so,
11:58no,
11:58one of the things
11:59happened was
12:00I kind of had an issue
12:01over a financial dispute
12:02some time ago.
12:04This bastard
12:05defrauded me
12:05like 59 Solana.
12:08Oh,
12:09you mean the crypto?
12:10Yeah.
12:11Yeah,
12:11okay.
12:12So,
12:12some bastard
12:13like defrauded me
12:14like 59 Solana
12:15and,
12:16um,
12:19so,
12:20I was just having
12:20a lot of drama
12:21with this dude
12:22in terms of like.
12:24What is the value
12:25of that?
12:25I don't,
12:26crypto is very.
12:27Well,
12:27like,
12:27like,
12:28last time I checked
12:29it was like
12:29over 10 grand.
12:31Okay.
12:31That sounds good.
12:32That's like most of like,
12:34honestly,
12:34like my own like savings
12:35I had.
12:36So,
12:37there was that
12:38and,
12:38uh,
12:39my,
12:39uh.
12:39And sorry,
12:40how,
12:40how did he,
12:41don't tell me his name
12:42of course,
12:43right?
12:43Cause this is all unproven
12:44at least objectively.
12:45But how did he,
12:46uh,
12:47how did he scam you?
12:48How?
12:49Um,
12:50so I,
12:50I asked the dude
12:51to like hodl for me
12:53in exchange for cash
12:54for every $10 it goes up.
12:57Uh,
12:57by the time you do sell,
12:59you're allowed to have
13:01200 of it.
13:03However,
13:04whatever you do,
13:05like don't sell
13:06until it reaches
13:06blank price.
13:07So,
13:08I tried to like negotiate,
13:10all right,
13:10just pay me back
13:11some debt
13:11or some other bills.
13:13Like,
13:14uh,
13:14I tried to like work
13:15something out,
13:16but it's like,
13:17um,
13:19because it's like,
13:19are you,
13:20sorry,
13:20are you in your 20s
13:21or 30s?

13:49No,
13:49no,
13:49it's complicated,
13:50dude.
13:52It's probably not.
13:53It's probably complicated
13:54from the inside,
13:54but maybe not from the outside.
13:57It's,
13:58uh,
13:58honestly,
13:59like,

15:02find too much,
15:03um,
15:04meaning in,
15:05I guess,
15:07like,
15:07the slightest things,
15:08and because of that,
15:11uh,
15:12I get,
15:15like,
15:17um,
15:18I don't know,
15:19I guess I seem
15:19too unstable about it,
15:20so.
15:21And would you say
15:22that when you were
15:23growing up,
15:24you had
15:24a strong
15:26or a weak
15:27pair bond
15:27with your parents?
15:41Strong,
15:42but chaotic,
15:43in a way.
15:44Uh,
15:44What do you mean
15:45by chaotic?
15:45Um,
15:49that was a quick
15:50question,
15:51um,
15:52would it be possible
15:53for me to talk to you
15:54from my other
15:55account on,
15:56uh,
15:56X?
15:59Uh,
15:59well,
15:59yeah,
15:59we can give it a try.
16:00Uh,
16:00I will move to
16:01someone else,
16:02and again,
16:02I appreciate your honesty,
16:03and then,
16:04this is where philosophy is,
16:05not in these,
16:06necessarily these
16:07chaotic abstractions.
16:08I don't feel like
16:10my PFP
16:10necessarily,
16:11um,
16:12represents,
16:13um,
16:14my best,
16:15um,
16:16philosophical,
16:17um,
16:19ah,
16:19hey,
16:20oh,
16:21what's the word?
16:22Oh,
16:22it's okay,
16:23listen,
16:23you can call me
16:23back,
16:24just,
16:24um,
16:26um,
16:26I'll give you,
16:27like,
16:27my other username,
16:28if that works.
16:29Um,
16:31you mean you'll
16:32say it to me now,
16:32and then call me back
16:33with that username?
16:34Um,
16:35yeah,
16:35but I think you,
16:36uh,
16:36blocked it,
16:36though.
16:37Oh,
16:38okay,
16:38I'm not going to be able
16:39to do that,
16:40um,
16:41at the moment,
16:41so,
16:42we'll have to schedule
16:43that for another time.
16:44Uh,
16:44listen,
16:45I just,
16:45I'm not trying to,
16:46you know,
16:47peel people's heart scabs
16:49back or anything like that,
16:50but,
16:51I am a very big one
16:54for solving real problems.
16:56And,
16:57listen,
16:57there's nothing wrong
16:58with theoreticals
16:59and trolley problems
16:59and hanging from a light bulb
17:01and,
17:02and life raft
17:03and emergency
17:03and blah,
17:04blah,
17:04blah.
17:04I think there's nothing wrong
17:05with those.
17:06They're sort of,
17:07amiable theoretical things,
17:09but where philosophy
17:11really matters
17:12is in helping you
17:13make better decisions
17:14in your actual practical life.
17:16So,
17:17I try to bring philosophy
17:19to bear on the problems
17:20that people are actually facing
17:21and try and figure out
17:23how,
17:24particularly self-knowledge,
17:25right,
17:25know thyself
17:26was the first commandment
17:28of Socrates
17:28because if you don't know yourself,
17:30then you're just run
17:31by your history.
17:32You're like a marionette,
17:33a Geppetto style
17:35just run around
17:36by your history.
17:38So,
17:39I do try to,
17:41and I'll entertain
17:42some abstractions.
17:43We did that yesterday
17:44with this fellow,
17:45but I think that
17:46a lot of times
17:47people come up
17:48with philosophical abstractions.
17:49I'm not saying
17:50this guy's doing it,
17:51or at least not consciously,
17:52but people come up
17:53with philosophical abstractions
17:55in order to discredit
17:56the value and power
17:57of philosophy.
17:57And the value and power
17:58of philosophy
17:59is fixing your life
18:01that you're actually living
18:02in a way
18:03that really helps improve
18:05the quality of your life,
18:07the quality of your love,
18:09the quality of your money-making,
18:10the quality of your virtue,
18:11the quality of your connection
18:12with people.
18:13That's what philosophy is for,
18:15not for abstract lifeboat scenarios
18:18that you're never going to encounter.
18:20I view,
18:21it's like nutrition.
18:22Nutrition
18:23is the discipline
18:26of figuring out
18:27what is best for you to eat
18:29to be healthy.
18:32It is not,
18:33well,
18:33if I was on a desert island
18:35and I only had conch shells
18:36and not any salt
18:37and I was slightly allergic
18:38to conch shells,
18:39like,
18:39that's not what nutrition is.
18:41Okay,
18:41you've got food choices
18:42to make every day.
18:43Every day,
18:44we decide
18:45what to eat.
18:47So what did I eat today?
18:48I had a piece of toast.
18:50I had
18:51a banana.
18:54I had
18:55some salmon
18:56and some salad
18:58and
19:00I think that's it.
19:02Yeah,
19:02I didn't eat too much.
19:03Oh,
19:03no,
19:04my daughter made some,
19:05and we were talking about this
19:05in the show yesterday,
19:06she made some
19:07date squares
19:09and I had
19:10one of those.
19:11Love date squares.
19:13So that's the stuff
19:14I'm eating.
19:15Not,
19:16well,
19:16you know,
19:17if you were trapped
19:18on Survivor Island
19:19and it's like,
19:19but I'm not.
19:21This is the stuff
19:21that I'm actually putting
19:22in front of me
19:24and in my body
19:25every day.
19:28How would you exercise
19:29if you were
19:31an Olympic
19:32level skier?
19:33Well,
19:34I'm not an Olympic
19:35level skier.
19:36So how should I exercise
19:38in the life
19:39that I have?
19:39Not in the theoretical life
19:40that I could have
19:42somewhere else
19:42in some other galaxy,
19:43some other universe,
19:44some other life.
19:45I'm very much
19:46about
19:47what can be done
19:50now
19:51with the resources
19:52you have
19:53philosophically
19:54to make your life
19:55better.
19:56This comes to some degree
19:57out of my practical life
19:58as an entrepreneur.
20:02So as an entrepreneur,
20:03when I was in the
20:04software field,
20:05I specifically
20:06did not say things
20:07like,
20:08okay,
20:09so imagine we had
20:10an anti-gravity device
20:11and people would be like,
20:12what?
20:13We don't have
20:13an anti-gravity.
20:14No,
20:14but imagine we did.
20:16Where would we sell it?
20:17What would the marketing
20:17plan be?
20:18And it's like,
20:19bro,
20:19what do we actually
20:22have that we could sell?
20:23No.
20:24What could we have
20:25in another life
20:26or another universe?
20:26All right.
20:27J.C.,
20:29you are
20:31on the air.
20:33Not on the
20:34E-R-R,
20:35but on the
20:35A-I-R.
20:37What is
20:38on your mind,
20:40mes amis,
20:43mon frère?
20:46Going once,
20:47going twice.
20:50Do I hear something?
20:52Yes.
20:52Yeah,
20:52go ahead.
20:53Hey,
20:53it's J.C.
20:54I sang Mrs. Weatherman
20:56on your show.
20:57Oh,
20:57yeah.
20:57How you doing,
20:58man?
20:59I'm doing amazing.
21:00And thank you for that.
21:00I did get a connection
21:01out of it
21:02to produce some music.
21:03So that was
21:05serendipitous.
21:06That's great to hear.
21:07I also wanted to mention
21:08that my daughter
21:08really liked your song.
21:11That's amazing.
21:12It's an interesting one
21:14and I am looking
21:15to get it produced.
21:16Anyways,
21:17I'm on that journey.
21:18I'm sorry,
21:19I just wanted to mention
21:19I liked your song too,
21:21but I couldn't tell my daughter.
21:23Do you know why?
21:24Oh,
21:25because if daddy likes it,
21:26then...
21:26Yeah,
21:27you know,
21:27if you're a teenager
21:28searching for your own identity,
21:30God forbid you like anything
21:31from the 80s.
21:32Not that yours is from the 80s,
21:33but anyway,
21:33so I'm glad that it's working out
21:35and what's on your mind?
21:37Yeah,
21:38so other than music,
21:40I actually have
21:41another,
21:42you know,
21:42passion and career path
21:44that I took after Hollywood.
21:45So after I lost
21:46my ability to
21:48be on TV
21:49and commercials
21:49and all that
21:50because of whatever
21:50was happening,
21:52I dove pretty deeply
21:53into the world
21:54of emotional intelligence
21:56transformation
21:56and I started doing
21:58some programs
21:58out in Los Angeles
21:59that dive into
22:01EQ,
22:03emotional intelligence,
22:04how we show up
22:05in the world
22:05and I started
22:07working for the company.
22:09Long story short,
22:10I started my own
22:11coaching programs
22:12about seven years ago
22:14and the program
22:16is called Rise Sync.
22:17It's based on
22:18every day
22:19doing a
22:2010-minute
22:21or 50-minute call
22:22with a coach
22:23or with a group
22:23and it's early
22:25in the morning
22:25so like my first
22:26risers right now
22:27is like 4.50
22:28in the morning.
22:29Yeah,
22:30exactly.
22:31A lot of farmers
22:31looking for advice,
22:32right?
22:33Yeah,
22:33yeah,
22:33but no,
22:34it's for entrepreneurs,
22:36business owners,
22:36people who have that,
22:38Kobe Bryant,
22:39Elon Musk.
22:39I do whatever
22:40it takes
22:41to make something
22:41happen in my life
22:43and so I've been
22:43running these programs
22:44now for
22:45seven years now
22:47and I even built
22:48my own software
22:49and it's a gamification
22:50of life
22:51and there are instances
22:53where I wonder
22:54to myself,
22:55does this really work?
22:58Does this really
22:59fundamentally
22:59help people
23:01in a way
23:02that sustains them
23:03in a way
23:03that it impacts them
23:04or am I
23:05a snake oil
23:08salesman person?
23:10There's a part
23:10of me that
23:11second guess
23:11is like,
23:12does this shit
23:12actually work?
23:13Am I really
23:14doing something
23:14of benefit
23:15or are people
23:15paying for something
23:16that is a crutch
23:18or something
23:18that maybe
23:20they become
23:21dependent upon
23:22and becomes
23:23wishful thinking
23:23and as I'm
23:24getting more
23:24people doing
23:25the programs
23:25now,
23:27I believe
23:28in what I'm
23:28doing and I
23:28know that it
23:29does impact
23:30people's lives
23:30but in terms
23:31of longevity
23:31and are people
23:33still practicing
23:34after the program
23:35a year from
23:37now,
23:38is there any
23:39chance in your
23:39opinion that
23:40this is all
23:40bullshit and
23:41I'm doing a
23:42disservice to
23:43people?
23:44I mean,
23:44I ask myself
23:46that question
23:46every day
23:47so it's a good
23:48question to ask.
23:50So let me ask
23:51you a couple
23:51of qualifying
23:52questions.
23:54Are you tall?
23:56No.
23:57What's your height?
23:585'7".
23:59Alright.
23:59Are you good
24:00looking?
24:01I would think
24:02so.
24:02Okay.
24:03Good head of hair?
24:05Yes.
24:06Okay.
24:07Good sense
24:07of humor?
24:09I don't know,
24:10Stefan.
24:10What do you
24:11think?
24:12Well, I mean,
24:13I don't know.
24:13I mean,
24:14we haven't had a
24:15joke off or
24:15anything like
24:16that but do
24:17you find it
24:17relative,
24:18I mean,
24:18a lot of
24:18people who
24:19are public
24:19speakers find
24:20it relatively
24:20easy to
24:21make people
24:21laugh,
24:22right?
24:22It's a Tom
24:22Woods joke
24:23around it.
24:24Because of the
24:25rigor of the
24:25program,
24:26I do find
24:27humor.
24:27I do lean
24:28on,
24:29you know,
24:30almost like in
24:30the military
24:31they sing songs
24:32and they make
24:32fun of things.
24:33There is a
24:33sense of,
24:34you know,
24:35let's have a
24:36good laugh as
24:37we're doing
24:37this because
24:38you're doing
24:38challenging
24:39things.
24:40Are you
24:41slender?
24:42I am,
24:43yeah,
24:43I'm athletic.
24:44Athletic,
24:45okay.
24:46So you're a
24:47good looking
24:47guy with
24:47great hair
24:48who's athletic,
24:49right?
24:50Mm-hmm.
24:51How much do
24:52you think that
24:52has paved
24:53your way
24:53forward in
24:54life?
24:55Hmm,
24:56it definitely
24:57has its
24:58advantages,
24:58I do believe.
25:00Looks have
25:00great advantages.
25:01Yeah,
25:02yeah,
25:02yeah.
25:02I think
25:03about that
25:04sometimes.
25:06How much
25:07of it?
25:08You know,
25:08the thing
25:09is a lot
25:10of the
25:10coaching
25:10that I
25:11do,
25:11I'm off
25:11camera,
25:12so I
25:12just have
25:13a conversation.
25:13No,
25:13no,
25:13no,
25:14sorry to
25:15interrupt.
25:16I'm talking
25:16about before,
25:18right?
25:18So,
25:19you know,
25:20I'm not
25:21putting you
25:21in the same
25:21category,
25:22but there's
25:22this way
25:25of thinking
25:26called
25:26the secret.
25:27I'm sure
25:28you've heard
25:29of it,
25:29right?
25:29So the
25:29secret is,
25:30and I'm
25:31obviously
25:31being
25:32paraphrasing
25:33significantly
25:34here,
25:34but the
25:34secret is
25:35just want
25:36things from
25:36the universe
25:37and eventually
25:38they'll manifest.
25:40And I
25:41can't help
25:41but notice
25:42that all
25:43the people
25:43who I've
25:44ever seen
25:45who are
25:45into the
25:46secret
25:46are very
25:48good looking.
25:49Okay.
25:51Now,
25:52wanting things
25:53from the
25:54universe,
25:54let's say
25:55you're a
25:55sexy woman,
25:57right?
25:57you're
25:59a young
25:59attractive
26:00sexy
26:00woman.
26:01How
26:01hard
26:02is it
26:02do you
26:03think
26:03to
26:04have
26:06good
26:06things
26:06happen
26:06to you
26:07in life?
26:10Maybe
26:11a lot
26:11easier
26:11than
26:11somebody
26:12who's
26:12not
26:12good
26:12looking.
26:13Right.
26:14Right.
26:14So,
26:14an advantage
26:15for sure.
26:16Right.
26:17So,
26:18when you
26:19were in
26:19your
26:20early
26:21mid-teens
26:21and you
26:22started to
26:22get
26:22interested
26:23in
26:23girls,
26:24what sort
26:25of response
26:26did you
26:26get?
26:26Um,
26:30good responses.
26:30You know,
26:31I had
26:31girlfriends
26:31and I
26:32was able
26:33to
26:33street talk
26:35my way
26:35into a
26:36kiss or
26:36two
26:36here and
26:37there
26:37as a
26:38kid,
26:39you know,
26:39or maybe
26:39like later
26:40on,
26:4017,
26:4118.
26:42Okay.
26:43So,
26:44after girls
26:45that you
26:45approached,
26:46how many
26:47said
26:49ew
26:50slash
26:50no?
26:52Uh,
26:53I don't
26:53have a
26:53stat sheet,
26:54but I
26:54don't know,
26:54maybe
26:55ew
26:56no?
26:57I don't
26:57think they
26:58said ew.
26:59I don't
26:59know.
27:00I don't
27:00know.
27:00Okay,
27:00let's
27:00say no
27:01ewes,
27:02but how
27:02about
27:02no?
27:04Uh,
27:05okay,
27:05let's
27:05say 40%,
27:07maybe
27:08less.
27:09I don't
27:09know.
27:10I don't
27:10know.
27:10I mean,
27:10I didn't
27:11don't give
27:11me this
27:11false
27:12modesty.
27:12If you're
27:13a charming
27:13guy,
27:14good looking,
27:15great hair.
27:16If the
27:17girl's
27:17single and
27:18you're a
27:19smooth
27:19talker and
27:20you're good
27:21looking,
27:22how many
27:22say no?
27:24again,
27:25assuming
27:25they're
27:25single and
27:26available or
27:26whatever it
27:26is,
27:27right?
27:28Um,
27:29I'm not
27:30sure,
27:30but I
27:30guess I
27:31didn't
27:31attempt
27:32kissing a
27:33girl if I
27:33didn't think
27:33I was going
27:34to get a
27:34kiss.
27:35Okay,
27:35what about
27:36just going
27:37up and
27:37talking to
27:38a girl?
27:39What
27:39percentage of
27:39people,
27:40oh,
27:40sorry,
27:41what percentage
27:41of women
27:41either gave
27:42you cocktail
27:43eyes or
27:43stink eye or
27:44resting
27:44bitch face,
27:45right?
27:46So cocktail
27:46eyes are if
27:47you're talking
27:47to someone at
27:48a party and
27:49they're just
27:49looking around,
27:50distracted,
27:50looking for
27:51someone better to
27:52talk to,
27:52somebody more
27:52important,
27:53somebody better
27:53looking,
27:54somebody better
27:55for their
27:55career or
27:56something and
27:56it's kind of
27:57distracting to
27:57try and talk
27:58to someone,
27:58not that I've
27:59ever experienced
27:59it,
28:00but I hear it
28:00today.
28:01So cocktail
28:02eyes,
28:02stink eye is
28:04just like,
28:04what are you
28:05talking to me
28:05for,
28:06loser?
28:06And resting
28:07bitch face is
28:08just that cold
28:08ice queen thing
28:09that happens.
28:10So when you
28:11would go up
28:11and talk to
28:12a girl or
28:15a woman,
28:15what percentage
28:16of negative
28:17response did
28:18you get?
28:22I'm not
28:24sure,
28:24but I
28:24don't think
28:25it was,
28:25I didn't
28:25get a lot
28:26of stink
28:26eyes,
28:26I didn't
28:27get a lot
28:27of that
28:28kind of,
28:28I mean,
28:29maybe the
28:29girl wasn't
28:29into me
28:30or wasn't
28:31attractive.
28:31But she
28:31wouldn't be
28:32rude or
28:32negative,
28:32right?
28:33Most of
28:34the time,
28:34no.
28:35Okay.
28:36I will
28:37tell you
28:37about an
28:37interesting
28:38experiment
28:38that I
28:39did when
28:39I was in
28:39theater
28:40school.
28:42I was
28:43going to
28:44discos from
28:45the age of
28:45like 16
28:46onwards,
28:47loved going
28:47to discos,
28:48had a great
28:48time,
28:50and learned
28:51how to
28:51moonwalk
28:52and do
28:52all kinds
28:52of funky
28:53dances and
28:53all that
28:53kind of
28:54stuff and
28:54chatted with
28:55girls and
28:55had a really
28:56fun time as
28:57a teenager
28:57that way.
28:58Anyway,
28:59because I
28:59was actually
29:00scouted for
29:01modeling back
29:01in the day
29:02and I was
29:02a pretty
29:02good-looking
29:03young fellow,
29:05and so I
29:06got a lot
29:06of positive
29:07response from
29:09girls.
29:10So what I
29:11tried with
29:11a friend of
29:12mine was
29:13we got
29:14really thick
29:14glasses and
29:16we gave
29:17ourselves
29:17really bad
29:18hairdos and
29:20we didn't
29:20dress very
29:21well.
29:22and tried
29:23exactly what
29:25we had done
29:26before but
29:28without our
29:29good looks
29:30and social
29:31signals of
29:32success, so
29:33to speak.
29:34Same thing,
29:36same person,
29:36just a
29:37different
29:37appearance.
29:38And what
29:38do you think
29:38happened?
29:40Different
29:40response?
29:41You think?
29:43It really
29:44was.
29:44It really
29:45was.
29:45Now, of
29:46course, there's
29:47things you can
29:47do about your
29:48appearance, but
29:49there's things you
29:49can't do about
29:50your appearance.
29:50Now, let's
29:51say that you
29:51had the
29:52misfortune of
29:53being raised
29:54with parents
29:55who fed you
29:57badly and
29:59kept you at
29:59home because of
30:00social anxieties
30:01or whatever it
30:01is, right?
30:02And you then
30:03happened to be,
30:03say, 30 or
30:0540 pounds
30:05overweight as
30:07a teenager.
30:08what do you
30:10think would
30:11have happened
30:11to your
30:13confidence, your
30:15sense of
30:15self, your
30:15life as a
30:16whole?
30:18Probably not
30:19very good.
30:20Well, I'm
30:20asking you what
30:21you would
30:21think.
30:22What would I
30:23think?
30:24The world's a
30:24scary place.
30:25I'm a
30:26gargoyle-looking
30:27kind of
30:28fellow.
30:28I probably
30:28should not
30:29go out to
30:29try to meet
30:30women.
30:31If I was in
30:32that situation,
30:32yeah, I
30:33probably would
30:33be not too
30:35excited to go
30:36out and meet
30:37people.
30:37Or maybe I
30:38would if it's
30:39the first time,
30:40but that probably
30:41wouldn't be my
30:41view of the
30:42world.
30:43You know, this
30:44is going to
30:45shock some
30:45people, but
30:46there was a
30:46guy in high
30:47school who
30:47started going
30:49bald even
30:50before I
30:50did.
30:52And it
30:53was pretty
30:54tortuous for
30:54him.
30:55And it
30:56really did a
30:57number on
30:57his self-confidence.
30:59You know,
30:59those guys,
31:01they always
31:02have to have
31:02a hat.
31:03And not just
31:04because it's
31:05easier than
31:05putting a
31:05logo on the
31:06screen.
31:07But they
31:07always have
31:07to have
31:08a hat.
31:09And, you
31:11know, or
31:12guys who've
31:12got something
31:13like they've
31:13got crooked
31:14teeth.
31:14So like
31:15Freddie Mercury
31:15had these,
31:16you know,
31:16he had four
31:17extra teeth.
31:17So he had
31:18this giant
31:19overbite and
31:20he would put
31:21his hand in
31:21front of his
31:22mouth when
31:22he was younger
31:26to, so people
31:28couldn't see his
31:28teeth.
31:29And he would
31:29always have to
31:30vet every
31:30photograph to
31:31make sure his
31:31teeth didn't
31:32protrude.
31:32And he was
31:32very self-conscious
31:33about the
31:35teeth.
31:36And he
31:36couldn't get
31:36them fixed
31:37because he
31:37was concerned
31:37about it
31:38affecting his
31:38voice, just
31:39like he
31:39couldn't.
31:39He got
31:40these nodes,
31:41nodules,
31:42sorry,
31:42nodules,
31:43in mid-1970s,
31:45and he didn't
31:45want to get
31:45them fixed
31:46because there's
31:47big negative
31:48things that
31:48happen from
31:49there.
31:50So it
31:51wasn't his
31:52fault.
31:52It's just
31:53the way
31:53things were.
31:55So there
31:57are lots
31:57of people
31:58who would
31:58like to
31:59have a
32:00podcast,
32:01but they
32:01have, you
32:02know,
32:02can you
32:02have pleasant
32:02and nasal
32:03voices and
32:04there's not
32:04much they
32:04can do
32:05about it.
32:05And people
32:05just aren't
32:06going to,
32:07listen, I,
32:07you know,
32:08I'm relatively
32:08fortunate.
32:09I didn't earn
32:09my voice.
32:10I'm just
32:10born with
32:11it.
32:11I have
32:11this vague
32:12fruity
32:12accent that
32:13makes me
32:13sound
32:13smarter.
32:14I have
32:14a relatively
32:15pleasant
32:16timbre.
32:16I happened
32:17to go to
32:18theater school
32:18and take a
32:19lot of voice
32:19training so I
32:20can use my
32:20voice in
32:21ways that
32:21other people
32:22aren't used
32:23to and
32:23so on.
32:25So I
32:26have a
32:26reasonably
32:27decent
32:27instrument
32:28when it
32:28comes to
32:29broadcasting,
32:30but I
32:30didn't earn
32:31that.
32:31It's just
32:32the voice
32:32that I
32:33was born
32:33with.
32:34You know,
32:34my brother
32:35has a
32:36high fluty
32:37type of
32:37voice and
32:38I just
32:38have a
32:38more bass
32:39and
32:39resonant
32:42type of
32:43voice.
32:44So that's
32:45the way
32:47that is,
32:48right?
32:48I happen
32:48to be
32:49fairly,
32:51I'm taller
32:51than the
32:51average
32:52man,
32:53just a
32:54shade
32:54under
32:54six feet.
32:56I happen
32:56to have
32:57blue eyes
32:57when I
32:57was younger.
32:58I had
32:58straw
32:59blonde
32:59hair
32:59and a
33:01good
33:01jawline.
33:02I mean,
33:02I didn't
33:02earn these
33:03things,
33:03they're
33:03just
33:03born.
33:05So,
33:05listen,
33:06I'm not,
33:06of course,
33:07saying that
33:08you don't
33:08deserve any
33:09of your
33:09success,
33:10but I'm
33:10always curious
33:11about the
33:13degree to
33:14which
33:14part of
33:16the ease
33:17that you
33:17sell in
33:18the world,
33:18always the
33:19big question
33:19is how
33:21reproducible
33:22is what
33:24you have
33:24in the
33:25world.
33:25So,
33:25if there's
33:26some,
33:26you know,
33:2736,
33:2724,
33:2836 blonde
33:29bombshell,
33:30and she
33:32says,
33:32well,
33:33you just
33:33have to be
33:33haughty and
33:34guys will
33:34flock to
33:35you,
33:35and she
33:36says this
33:36to the,
33:37you know,
33:38five foot
33:38two,
33:39250 pound
33:40greasy
33:40haired,
33:41whatever,
33:41right,
33:42girl,
33:42how much
33:44of the
33:45life of
33:46the bombshell
33:47is
33:47transferable
33:48to the
33:51woman who
33:51is short
33:52or frumpy
33:53or ugly
33:55or squint-eyed
33:56or bad
33:56teeth or bad
33:57skin or
33:58whatever it
33:58is,
33:59right,
33:59things that
33:59there's not
34:00a huge
34:00amount that
34:00you can
34:01do about
34:01some of
34:01these
34:01things.
34:03So,
34:03how
34:03transferable
34:04is it?
34:04And I'm
34:05honestly,
34:05I could
34:06talk about
34:06that question
34:07all night.
34:07I'm
34:07actually
34:08kind of
34:08obsessed
34:08with how
34:09transferable
34:10things are.
34:12You know,
34:12like if you
34:13look at
34:13somebody like,
34:14what is it?
34:15Good old
34:15banana hands.
34:18Anthony,
34:19oh,
34:21it'll come to
34:22me.
34:22He was in
34:22that movie
34:23with Jack
34:23Black.
34:25Tony Robbins.
34:26There we go.
34:27Tony Robbins.
34:27Thank you,
34:28brain.
34:28See,
34:28I didn't even
34:29earn that.
34:29My brain
34:30just decided
34:30to kick it
34:30out for
34:31reasons of
34:31its own.
34:32So,
34:32Anthony
34:33Robbins
34:33is like,
34:35isn't he
34:35over seven
34:35feet tall?
34:36Like,
34:36he's got
34:36a kind
34:37of gigantism
34:38and he's
34:40got,
34:40you know,
34:40great hair
34:41and this
34:42giant jaw
34:44and,
34:44you know,
34:45this massive
34:45frame and,
34:47you know,
34:48and so he
34:48is just
34:49physically
34:51ridiculously
34:52imposing
34:54and,
34:55you know,
34:56he's like a
34:57man-god
34:57striding down
34:59from Olympus
35:00to stroll
35:01among the
35:01mere mortals,
35:02right?
35:03and he
35:05does these
35:06seminars and,
35:08you know,
35:08I mean,
35:09good for
35:09him.
35:10I think
35:10I've watched
35:10one called
35:11I Am Not
35:11Your Guru
35:12and,
35:13you know,
35:13other than
35:13the fact
35:13that I
35:14can't stand
35:14it when
35:15people's
35:15voices are
35:15half broken,
35:16but,
35:17you know,
35:18he does
35:19this thing
35:20and he's
35:21transferring
35:21his confidence.
35:23However,
35:24if you're
35:25a really
35:26good-looking
35:26seven-foot-tall
35:27guy with
35:28perfect hair,
35:28I think
35:30it's a
35:30little easier
35:31to be
35:32confident
35:33in the
35:34same way
35:35that if
35:35you're a
35:36shapely
35:36woman with
35:37a beautiful
35:37face,
35:38it's a
35:38little easier
35:39to be
35:40confident
35:41and the
35:42question is,
35:43and I don't
35:43know the
35:43answer to
35:44that,
35:44the question
35:45is,
35:45how
35:45transferable
35:46is it?
35:46Now,
35:47if it's
35:48something like
35:48math skills,
35:49you'd say,
35:50well,
35:50that's more
35:51transferable
35:51because it's
35:51not based
35:52on looks.
35:55Ah,
35:55yes,
35:55but there
35:56are parts
35:57of the
35:57brain
35:57that
35:59need to
35:59be
36:00better
36:01wired
36:02in order
36:02for people
36:02to get
36:03math.
36:04You know,
36:05I started
36:05writing my
36:06first short
36:06story when
36:07I was six
36:07years old,
36:08and I've
36:08written,
36:08I don't
36:09know,
36:09thousands
36:09and thousands
36:10and thousands
36:10of pages
36:11of stuff,
36:11and I enjoy
36:12the process.
36:12I'm just
36:13in the
36:13middle of
36:13reading the
36:14audiobook of
36:15my new
36:15novel,
36:16Dissolution,
36:17which is
36:17available for
36:18subscribers at
36:19freedomain.com
36:19slash donate.
36:20But when I
36:22first started
36:22writing,
36:23I enjoyed it,
36:24I've been
36:24really good
36:24at it,
36:25and when I
36:26first started
36:26debating,
36:27I was
36:27really good
36:28at it.
36:28So how
36:29much is
36:29taught?
36:30I don't
36:31know.
36:31Can you
36:32teach someone
36:32perfect pitch?
36:33No,
36:33people just
36:33seem to
36:34have it.
36:35You know,
36:36there are
36:36people who,
36:37when you
36:38hear a
36:38singer,
36:39they're like,
36:39oh,
36:39that's a
36:40little off,
36:40and other
36:40people are
36:41like,
36:41sounds fine
36:41to me,
36:42you know,
36:42can you
36:43teach that
36:43stuff?
36:43So I
36:44don't
36:44know.
36:45I think
36:45wisdom is
36:46transferable.
36:48I think
36:48morals are
36:49transferable.
36:50I'm
36:52not sure
36:52about
36:53other
36:54stuff.
36:56I mean,
36:56when I
36:56was at
36:57theater
36:57school,
36:58everybody
36:58was about
36:59as good
36:59at the
36:59end as
36:59they were
37:00at the
37:00beginning.
37:00I'm not
37:00really sure
37:01what happened
37:01to all that
37:02time that
37:03we spent
37:03in movement
37:04classes and
37:05dance
37:05classes and
37:05sword fighting
37:06classes and
37:06elocution
37:07classes and
37:08improv
37:10classes.
37:11And it
37:11was fun.
37:12It was fun.
37:13But I
37:13don't know.
37:14I mean,
37:14have you seen
37:15people massively
37:16change their
37:17skill sets in
37:19a relatively
37:20short period of
37:20time?
37:20Now, of
37:21course, with
37:21your coaching
37:22business, I'm
37:22sure you
37:22have.
37:24But how
37:25much of
37:27your ease
37:28and confidence
37:29and smooth
37:29sailing in
37:30life is
37:31transferable to
37:32others?
37:33I don't know
37:33the answer to
37:33that, but it's
37:34an interesting
37:34question.
37:35For sure.
37:36And if I
37:36can add
37:37something to
37:37so I've
37:38actually trained
37:39other people
37:40with me and
37:41under me to
37:41run the
37:42system, it's
37:43I mean, it's
37:44meat and
37:44potatoes.
37:44It's every
37:45day, you
37:45know, when
37:46people start
37:46the program,
37:47they declare
37:47a 90-day goal
37:49for their
37:49health and
37:50fitness, a
37:5190-day goal
37:51for career
37:51and finances,
37:52passion,
37:53purpose,
37:53recreation,
37:54recharge,
37:54relationships,
37:55community.
37:55And we
37:56identify what
37:57we call our
37:58top three,
37:58which we
37:59call a GTO,
38:00guarantee,
38:00target,
38:01outrageous.
38:02And so
38:02people go
38:03on this 90-day
38:04journey of
38:04every day
38:05declaring these
38:06things.
38:07And so
38:07there's no
38:08magic to it
38:09other than
38:09showing up
38:10every day and
38:10being someone
38:11of courage,
38:13of honesty,
38:13like all
38:14these things
38:14that I believe
38:15philosophy has
38:16given in my
38:17life has given
38:18me at least a
38:19framework to
38:19go, hey, you
38:20can show up
38:21every day and
38:21make something
38:21happen.
38:22There's no
38:22fucking magic
38:23to this at
38:24all, other
38:25than you
38:25putting in to
38:26work every
38:27single day.
38:27And over
38:28time, you
38:29know, things
38:29do happen.
38:30Maybe, and
38:31you know, I
38:31took a shot on
38:32jumping on your
38:32podcast last
38:33time because I
38:33was like, it's
38:34time to get
38:34online again.
38:35It's time to
38:35get on X
38:36again.
38:36And next
38:37thing you
38:37know, I'm
38:37performing a
38:38song for you
38:39and that
38:40created an
38:40opportunity
38:41somewhere.
38:41So, you
38:43know, this
38:43is a, I
38:44believe this
38:44is an honest
38:45program in
38:46that it's
38:46about everyday
38:47building habits.
38:48No one's
38:49changing drastically.
38:50No one's
38:50changing their
38:51personality, but
38:52I believe people
38:53can transform and
38:54evolve to that
38:55next version of
38:55themselves.
38:57And, you
38:58know, there's
38:58just always that
38:58question of, is
38:59this, is this
39:00really, is this
39:02real?
39:02And am I really
39:03giving people
39:03fundamental tools
39:04that they can
39:05take with them
39:05after the
39:06program's over?
39:07Well, I mean,
39:08do you do, do
39:09you do follow
39:10ups?
39:10Do you, you
39:11know, drop past
39:12people a year
39:13after the program
39:13and see how
39:15they're doing?
39:15Yeah.
39:15And a lot of
39:16people come
39:16back.
39:17I mean, a lot, I
39:17have, I have had
39:18a woman who
39:19literally did the
39:19program for two
39:20years straight.
39:21That's what I had
39:22to tell her.
39:22You got to take a
39:23break and live
39:24your life and, and
39:25see how you are
39:26without the, you
39:27know, how you swim
39:28on your own
39:28without the training
39:29wheels.
39:29So there are
39:30instances like
39:30that.
39:31And, uh, and
39:32people do come
39:32back and high
39:33level professionals
39:34attorneys and
39:37people in
39:37business.
39:38And I do some
39:38consulting for
39:39companies and they
39:39come back and they
39:40do it because they're
39:41like, I just, I'm
39:42sharper this way.
39:43It's like having a
39:44personal trainer or a
39:45golf caddy.
39:46Like if you play
39:46with a golf caddy,
39:47you're going to have
39:48a significant
39:49advantage, but I'm
39:50not hitting the
39:50ball for you.
39:52And I'm never there
39:52to solve anybody's
39:53problem.
39:54Okay.
39:54So what are the
39:55principles that you
39:58bring to bear on
39:59people's, is it
40:00procrastination or
40:01these sorts of
40:02things they want to
40:02want things in
40:03life, but they're
40:03not really taking
40:04steps to achieve
40:05them?
40:06Uh, yeah.
40:07Identifying the
40:07goals.
40:08Like we, we call
40:08them destinations.
40:09So we, we, we, we,
40:11we first journal out
40:12a vision for our
40:12life.
40:13So what's like a
40:13one to five year
40:14vision.
40:15And then we work
40:15backwards and go,
40:16okay, what's a
40:1790 day destination.
40:18So vision being
40:18like your North
40:19star, your, your
40:20true North, what
40:21are you working
40:22towards?
40:22And then destination,
40:23what can you
40:24accomplish for real
40:25in the next 90
40:26days?
40:26And we track it.
40:27So it's not
40:27hocus pocus,
40:28like, Oh, I'm
40:28going to make a
40:29million dollars.
40:29It's like, that's
40:30not realistic for
40:31most people, but
40:32what's something that
40:33we can track that
40:34you can work
40:34towards.
40:34And it's, it's, I
40:36mean, it's pretty
40:37thorough that it's a
40:38morning journal, a
40:39nighttime journal.
40:40You got to post
40:40photos of your
40:41progress.
40:42If you say you
40:42did something, you
40:43got to put it in
40:43the group chat.
40:44Like there must be
40:45some.
40:46Okay.
40:46So can you give
40:47me, I mean, it
40:48could be like lose
40:4810 pounds and I'm,
40:49I don't want to
40:50minimize what you're
40:51saying or reduce it,
40:53but what would be
40:54some typical goals
40:56that people would be
40:57pursuing?
40:58Yeah.
40:58Uh, losing 30, I
40:59literally just had a
41:00call with a woman.
41:01She wants to lose
41:0130 pounds in the 90
41:02days.
41:03I challenged her to
41:0340.
41:04She's, you know, about
41:05300 pounds.
41:05So I know that she
41:06could work the 40
41:07pounds.
41:08Um, and you know, I
41:09try to be realistic
41:10with them if, you
41:11know, okay, let's,
41:12let's set this goal.
41:13And as, as time goes
41:14on, you'll, you'll
41:14discover, is this
41:15really in alignment?
41:16Is this something that
41:17really works?
41:18And, and then, you
41:19know, people find out
41:20along the way.
41:20And sometimes people
41:21find out this is
41:22actually, this actually
41:22it's not what I
41:23wanted.
41:24I just wanted to do
41:24something else.
41:25And people have
41:25those epiphanies over
41:27the course of the
41:27journey.
41:29Um, but it's, you
41:30know, you start
41:30identifying a goal and
41:31then it's about
41:32creating positive
41:32feedback loops.
41:33So every day, you
41:34know, we acknowledge
41:35the wins.
41:36We talk about our
41:37celebrations from the
41:38day before.
41:38What are you, what
41:39are you learning from
41:40yesterday?
41:40So, you know, what
41:41the question I always
41:42use is what would you
41:43strengthen or do
41:44differently?
41:44I never ask what you
41:45did wrong or are you
41:46fucking up?
41:47And so people become
41:48self-cleaning ovens.
41:49People start to build
41:51this mindset of, okay,
41:52I can objectively,
41:53clinically and
41:54objectively look at
41:55what I did and my
41:56actions.
41:56And is this, is this
41:57getting me to where I
41:58want to go?
42:01Okay.
42:02So if somebody wants
42:02to lose 40 pounds in
42:04how long, what was the
42:05time frame?
42:06Three months?
42:0690 days.
42:07Okay.
42:08Three months.
42:08Okay.
42:08So give or take.
42:09Okay.
42:10So they want to lose
42:1040 pounds.
42:11So they'll say, they'll
42:13create a list of what it
42:14is they want to do to
42:15lose those 40 pounds,
42:16right?
42:16And then you just,
42:19sorry, I don't mean to
42:19minimize it, but you
42:20encourage them to pursue
42:21that and you ask them to
42:22check every day, whether
42:23they're achieving their
42:26goals.
42:26They'll jump on a call
42:27with me.
42:27I'll pull it up on the
42:28screen.
42:28I'll literally share my
42:29screen with me and you
42:30can see other people's
42:31declarations.
42:32So it's like a group
42:32environment.
42:34So you can see other
42:35people's declarations.
42:36You can see what people
42:37declared the day before
42:38and if they accomplished
42:39it and it gives them a
42:40score, it gives them, it
42:41gives you like a score
42:42one out of 10 on, on
42:43different areas of life.
42:44And where are you on
42:45time that you complete
42:46your journals?
42:46So there's, there's a
42:47science to it for sure.
42:49And then, uh, but you
42:50gotta, you, you know, you,
42:52you over time, you gotta
42:53prove that you're doing
42:54the work or you gotta give
42:55us some sort of evidence
42:56that you did do the
42:57workout or you did do the
42:58nutrition.
42:59And so people do that
43:00Monday through Friday,
43:01five days a week for 90
43:02days.
43:03Things start to happen.
43:06Sure.
43:06I mean, you've got
43:07commitments and you've got
43:09people hounding you for
43:10your commitments.
43:10Um, okay.
43:12And then what?
43:13So people, um, cause you
43:15know, like 97% of people
43:17who lose weight gain it
43:18back and a significant
43:19proportion of those gain
43:20back more than they've
43:21lost.
43:22So people can lose weight
43:25even, um, a lot of people
43:27can lose weight.
43:28The challenge is to keep
43:29it off.
43:29Right.
43:30I mean, I dropped like 30
43:31pounds like 15 years ago
43:32and you, you just, you can't
43:35go back.
43:35Like you just have to never
43:37go back.
43:38I can't remember the last
43:38time I ate a candy bar.
43:40Like it's, it's honestly,
43:41it's been probably 10, 12
43:42years.
43:42So you just, you just can't
43:44go back.
43:44No chips, no chocolate, no
43:45cookies, no dip, no nothing.
43:47Right.
43:48And, uh, I really, very
43:49rarely have dessert.
43:51So when it comes to permanent
43:55life changes, what happens
43:57after they leave the feedback
44:00loop, the accountability from
44:02an outside eye?
44:03Yeah.
44:04And I know you're using
44:05fitness as an example, but
44:06this applies to a lot of
44:08career and finance goals
44:09too.
44:09Um, you know, people do
44:11people, I don't think they
44:12revert back all the way
44:13because they know what to
44:14do now.
44:15They know how to, how to,
44:16how to, how to keep it
44:17going.
44:18Um, so I don't know.
44:19It's, it's hard to say
44:20cause I don't follow, I
44:22don't track what, what
44:23everybody does a year
44:24afterwards.
44:25I will say I feel, I do
44:26feel like some people do
44:27revert back.
44:28That is, that is, that is
44:29something that I have
44:30noticed, but generally
44:32speaking, people seem better
44:33off.
44:33Like they know what to
44:35do.
44:36Yeah.
44:36I mean, I remember many
44:38years ago, someone
44:39encouraged me to try the
44:40landmark forum, which
44:41comes out of the Werner
44:42Hart.
44:43Yeah.
44:43They come out as a
44:44Werner Hart test.
44:45The one I did.
44:46Yeah.
44:46And I did a three day
44:47one and I did a five day
44:48one and a couple of, um,
44:50actually got into some
44:51really interesting
44:52philosophical debates, as
44:53you could imagine with
44:54the, um, the seminar
44:56leader.
44:56Yeah.
44:57And I did a couple of
45:00maintenance ones.
45:01And again, I thought it
45:02was interesting.
45:02It turned out to be a
45:03little hazardous for
45:04me.
45:05I won't sort of get into
45:06the details, but it
45:07encouraged me, uh, to, to
45:09be decisive and positive
45:10in an area that could
45:11have been extremely
45:12negative, but it's not
45:13their fault.
45:14I'm just sort of pointing
45:15out that, that you don't
45:17often have a lot of, uh,
45:19deep information about
45:20people when you give them
45:22these kinds of
45:22encouragements and it can
45:24lead them down a negative
45:25path.
45:25But again, that's nothing
45:26negative on them.
45:27That was just the
45:28circumstance.
45:28And of course I knew a
45:30bunch of people who had
45:31did that kind of stuff.
45:33And would I say that it
45:36had any kind of long
45:38lasting or permanent
45:39effects?
45:41I would say that I
45:42didn't see that.
45:44I will say, I mean, I
45:45will say, and I won't
45:45get, I don't know if
45:46their stuff is
45:47proprietary, so I won't
45:47get into the details, but
45:49there were a number of
45:49exercises that were
45:50actually pretty, pretty
45:52good, pretty, pretty
45:53great and, and
45:54worthwhile.
45:54and I have no regrets
45:55at having done that
45:56stuff, but it is, it
46:03fills, I think for
46:04people, and I mean this
46:06in a very positive way,
46:07it fills a void of
46:08interest and
46:09encouragement.
46:10You know, most people
46:11sail through life.
46:12Other people aren't that
46:12interested in what they
46:14do, particularly if they
46:15didn't get it as
46:16children from their
46:17parents or teachers or
46:18whatever, right?
46:18But most people sail
46:19through life and they
46:21kind of have these secret
46:22worlds that they're
46:23really into, it could
46:24be Warhammer games, it
46:26could be painting
46:27figurines, it could be
46:28train spotting, it could
46:30be collecting
46:31butterflies.
46:32I mean, they have
46:32these, these are trains
46:33like model trains and
46:35stuff, or I don't know,
46:36Polish cinema.
46:37Like, they have these
46:38sort of things that
46:39they're really interested
46:40in that nobody else
46:42really seems to care
46:42about and they don't
46:44really get much
46:45feedback.
46:46Like, when I see
46:48somebody who's
46:49overweight, I don't see
46:50an individual.
46:51I see an entire
46:52system, I see an
46:53entire family
46:53structure, I see an
46:54entire friend
46:55structure, I see
46:57someone that doesn't
47:00have someone in
47:02their life or more
47:03than one person in
47:03their life who cares
47:04enough to say, this
47:07is bad, you got to
47:08lose weight, and, you
47:10know, I'm here for
47:10you, and I, you
47:11know, I'll do
47:12anything I can to
47:13help, but I really
47:14care about you, I
47:15really love you, and
47:15I just don't want to
47:16see you get sick, I
47:17don't want to see you
47:17in pain, I don't
47:19want to see you with
47:19bad joints, I don't
47:20want to see you with
47:21heart disease, like,
47:23or smokers, like
47:24people who smoke,
47:24they've got a whole
47:26bunch of people around
47:27them who aren't
47:29saying to them, I
47:30care about you
47:31enough to sit down
47:32and say, okay, like,
47:32what's going on with
47:33the smoking, and you've
47:34got to change, and,
47:35right, so when I see
47:37dysfunction, I don't
47:38see individuals, I see
47:39systems, I see entire
47:40groups of people, in
47:43fact, I see generally
47:44groups of people like a
47:45moat around that person
47:46changing, they will not
47:47let people through, and
47:49so I think if you
47:50come in with
47:51encouragement and
47:52accountability and
47:54feedback and goals, I
47:56think that's great, I
47:57think the challenge is
47:58though, when you
48:00change your life, it
48:02messes up your entire
48:03social circle, when I
48:07said, when podcasting
48:09came along and blogging
48:10came along, and I was
48:12like, I'm going for it,
48:14I am 150%, this is
48:17like a once, not a
48:19once in a lifetime,
48:20this is a once in the
48:21lifetime of philosophy,
48:22this is once in a
48:233,000 year, this is the
48:24time, I got to get the
48:26truth out there before
48:27they realize and shut
48:30the doors, right, which
48:31sort of happened when
48:32Trump got in around
48:332016, and then for me,
48:34you know, the hammer
48:35really came down in 2020,
48:37but I had, you know, 10
48:40to 14 glorious years,
48:42which had never existed
48:43before in philosophy,
48:44where I could speak
48:45unfiltered to the
48:45planet and listen to
48:46people about the power
48:48and beauty of
48:49philosophy, so I was
48:50like, I'm going for
48:52it, and the people that
48:53I knew in my life at
48:54the time, I don't want
48:55to get into details,
48:56but they were like, oh,
48:57that's interesting, oh,
48:59yeah, I mean, if you
49:00like it, I mean, I
49:01guess, why not, right,
49:02you're quitting, yeah,
49:04it's fine, yeah, good,
49:05or they say, what,
49:08you've got a really
49:10good job, like, what
49:10are you quitting, you're
49:11making a fortune, like,
49:12what are you quitting,
49:13like, I took this, I
49:14don't know, 80%, 75, 80%
49:16pay cut to start doing
49:17what I'm doing, and I
49:20was like, I need to
49:22become bigger than I've
49:26ever conceived of, in
49:28terms of personality, in
49:29terms of clarity, in
49:31terms of belief in what
49:33I'm capable of doing, I
49:35need to become bigger than
49:38I've ever conceived of
49:40being, and when you make
49:43that leap, and you say, I'm
49:45not going to have the
49:45vanity of putting a lid on
49:47my potential, and it's
49:49not about me, right, there's
49:50this show, it's not about
49:51me, it's not about looking
49:53clever, it's not about
49:54being right, I hate being
49:55right, because it's usually
49:56dour predictions, but it is
49:59about getting as much
50:00philosophy into the world as
50:02humanly possible, because
50:03it's never been possible
50:04before, to this degree.
50:06So, sort of, long story
50:08short, when I said, okay, I
50:09have to bestride the world
50:10like a colossus, I'm not
50:12naturally, I don't want to
50:16say a megalomaniacal person
50:17or something like that, but
50:18I'm not naturally a sort of
50:20big, world-striding
50:22personality, you know, I am
50:23not, like, astride the world
50:25like some giant, and, you
50:28know, there are some people
50:29who like that, who just have
50:30that giant Hagrid
50:31personality or something like
50:33that, I'm not that big, you
50:34know, expansive, and I, you
50:36know, I really work to be
50:38comfortable, because I'm
50:39British, right, I work to be
50:41comfortable with having a big
50:44presence in the world, and
50:48that was a conscious removal
50:52of limits, you know, like in
50:53Star Wars, they get, remove
50:54the restraining bolt of RT
50:56like, I remove the restraining
50:57bolt of Vesuvius, right, and
51:00nobody came along, nobody
51:02from my old life, before and
51:05after public philosophy,
51:08there's no one, there's not
51:10even a hint of someone,
51:11there's not even someone who
51:12checks in once a year, or
51:13once every five years, they're
51:15gone, and, and I think that's
51:18the challenge, so there were
51:19systems around me that were
51:20keeping me small, and I was
51:22part of those systems, I'm not
51:23blaming other people,
51:24fundamentally it's down to me,
51:25right, but when I said, I'm
51:27not going to be small, I'm
51:28going to be as big as the
51:30technology, and my abilities
51:32will let me be, I will assume
51:34no restraint, and I will back
51:36down from nothing, and I will
51:39go and chew the scenery if I
51:41have to, I'll sing, I'll dance,
51:43I'll whatever, like I will do
51:45what, I'll joke, I'll do
51:46whatever is necessary to get
51:47maximum philosophy out into the
51:48world, because philosophy has
51:49been kept at bay by
51:50institutions, and especially
51:52academia, for literally
51:53thousands and thousands of
51:54years, so the point is that I
51:57lost everyone, everyone,
51:58everyone was gone, nobody
52:00wanted to come along for
52:02that, right, I think there's
52:04still a show or two that I did
52:06with a friend of mine back
52:07then, but yeah, he did, he
52:09couldn't, he couldn't, or
52:10wouldn't, or didn't, doesn't
52:11really matter, wouldn't, wasn't
52:12going to come along, and then
52:13when you're, when you're saying
52:14I'm going to be big in the
52:15world, and other people don't
52:16view you that way, you can't
52:18sustain both perspectives, it's
52:20like trying to do math with
52:21someone yelling random numbers
52:22into your ear, you just, you
52:23can't do it, if you're going
52:25to, if you're going to
52:26uncork your potential, and
52:27other people around you
52:28are putting a tight lid on
52:29it, well you think you're
52:31all that, or you think you're
52:31so much smarter, or you
52:32think you can do this, or
52:33you think you can do that,
52:34and it's just like, I can't,
52:35I can't, I can't fucking do
52:38it with people yelling doubt
52:40in my ear, I can't do it, and
52:41I won't do it with people
52:42yelling doubt in my ear,
52:44because, you know, it's like
52:45being a high wire act, and
52:46people just shooting blow
52:47darts at you, you just, you
52:48can't do it, and so I, and
52:50sorry for the long speech, but,
52:51but I guess the challenge is
52:54you guys come in, and you
52:56kind of substitute a limiting
52:57social circle that keeps
52:58people down, most social
52:59circles are designed to keep
53:00people down, and you come in
53:02and you uncork that, and you
53:03give a counter, I guess my
53:04concern would be they go
53:05back out into the world, and
53:08then they are surrounded by
53:09the small-minded, the petty,
53:11the persons from Porlock, the,
53:13you know, the guy who
53:14interrupted the Kubla Khan poem
53:17from Coleridge, and he could
53:19never get it back, I think
53:21that's my concern about when
53:23they go back to the lives that
53:24were defined by the people
53:25who kept them small, or
53:27weak, or fat, or lazy, or
53:29stupid, or, like, because
53:31people, they feel very
53:32uncomfortable when other
53:33people rise, they feel, they
53:35take it personally, they, they
53:36will try, try and claw you
53:37down, it's the crabs in the
53:38bucket thing, so what
53:39happens, there's the end of
53:40the speech, thank you for
53:41your patience, what happens
53:42when people go back to the
53:45small-minded people around
53:46them, and don't have your kind
53:48of robust encouragement and
53:50accountability there?
53:51Yeah, well, it's funny,
53:52because the name of the
53:53program is called Rise, so
53:54you know, the, there's that
53:57saying, the biggest treason a
53:58crab can commit is jumping
53:59for the rim of the bucket,
54:01right?
54:02So, no, I, I, I really
54:04thank you, and I do actually
54:05need to jump into a coaching
54:07call here soon, I'm keeping a
54:08riser at bay, because I
54:10really wanted to have this
54:11conversation, but yeah, I do
54:14live in that question of, am I
54:15doing something that is
54:16worthwhile, am I doing
54:17something that actually
54:17impacts people's lives, and
54:19I'm just, I'm just a voice in
54:21people's ears at the end of
54:22the day, and asking them
54:23questions, and then they,
54:24they create their own
54:25solutions, and a lot of
54:26times, they do need to
54:26recreate their environment,
54:27they do need to eject from
54:30the, the paradigm shift that
54:31they're in, if they really
54:32want to go to that next
54:33level, so I, I appreciate
54:35you, uh, sharing that with
54:37me.
54:38Well, thank you very much,
54:39and, uh, it's great to, uh,
54:41chat with you again, and
54:42yeah, go do your coaching
54:43thing, and, uh, you know,
54:45and listen, it's not like I
54:46have all the answers, but I
54:47do remember, um, in the
54:49first book that I wrote as a
54:51public philosopher, it was
54:53called On Truth, The
54:55Tyranny of Illusion, and in
54:57it, I say that, uh, philosophy
54:59will change everything about
55:01your life, and it's kind of
55:03like waking up in a city
55:06realizing that you're
55:07surrounded by zombies, but
55:08you know, or you have the
55:09feeling that somewhere across
55:11the desert is a relatively
55:14small town, a relatively
55:15small town, but it's full of
55:18actual people, and you got to
55:21leave the familiar, cross the
55:23desert, and listen, people
55:24get lost in the desert, people
55:25die in the desert, people
55:26don't make it through the
55:28desert, sometimes nobody even
55:30knows what happens to them in
55:31the desert, but if you get to
55:33the other town, the town of
55:34actual people, the town of
55:36those who are alive, it's well
55:38worth the journey, but
55:40philosophy takes the blinkers
55:42off your mind or your life,
55:46philosophy takes those blinkers
55:47off, and you get to see what
55:52the world actually is, and
55:54then, and then I think you
55:56have that choice whether you
55:59want to make that journey
56:03across a brutal desert and
56:07find out if the journey is
56:10worthwhile for you.
56:11I believe that it is, I think
56:13that it is, I would say that I
56:16know that it is, but it is
56:20not easy at all.
56:25All right, well the fellow's
56:27back, but he wanted to do some
56:29different account things, so I'm
56:30not really sure what to do
56:31about that, we can do a
56:32shorter show, I don't want to
56:33take him on if he doesn't want
56:34to talk about the stuff that I
56:36think is important, so maybe
56:39what I'll do, you know what I'll
56:41do, let me just try this, let
56:44me, let me, let me try this, so
56:46this was the first book, I wrote
56:48this in what, 2006, 2007,
56:52something like that, and let me
56:57see, find it, no, maybe it wasn't
57:00in this book, maybe it was
57:02somewhere else, yeah, can't find
57:05it, but you should check the book
57:08out Untruth, The Tyrion of
57:09Illusion, it's available for
57:10free at freedomain.com slash
57:11books, and also the Handbook of
57:15Human Ownership, A Manual for
57:16New Tax Farmers, is also
57:17something that you should check
57:18out, also a very, very good
57:20book, so.
57:22All right, well I will stop here,
57:23and I thank everyone so much, I
57:24did a, oh boy, did I do a
57:26scorcher of a show today, just I
57:28did a solo show, because I asked
57:30on X, I asked, why has
57:35Christianity failed to protect and
57:37preserve the West?
57:38Because it has, and I've been
57:40thinking about this all day, and
57:44I did a 50-minute scorcher of a
57:48presentation about why I think
57:51Christianity has failed to
57:53preserve and protect the West.
57:59It's one of the very few times I've
58:02done a show and felt acutely
58:03uncomfortable.
58:04You know, I don't feel much
58:05discomfort with challenging ideas, in
58:07fact, I view them as things that I'm
58:11in hot pursuit of, it's sort of
58:12challenging and uneasy levels of
58:17truth ideas.
58:19But this one, oof, I was like, it
58:25feels wrong.
58:27It feels so wrong, but I can't argue
58:30with the logic of it.
58:31So anyway, I'm going to put this out
58:32to donors over the weekend, James,
58:37put this out to donors, and I'd love
58:39to get your feedback and thoughts on
58:40it.
58:40I don't know if it's going to make it
58:42to the general population, because it
58:43is a, I can't, honestly, I cannot
58:46remember the last time, except maybe
58:48doing, I don't know, crime stats in
58:492014, like over 10 years ago, but I
58:52cannot remember the last time where I
58:53felt this uneasy about a line of
58:56reasoning.
58:56So I'm going to put that out to
59:00donors this weekend, and if you are
59:01a donor, you'll get it.
59:03You know what, anybody who donates
59:04this weekend, you can, I'll send you
59:06a copy of it.
59:08But yeah, as far as general population
59:10goes, I feel uneasy, and I haven't
59:14felt uneasy about an argument in
59:16donkey's years, but maybe I'm wired
59:19wrong, and maybe it's fine, or maybe it
59:22is as scorching as I think, but I
59:24will put that out this weekend for
59:25donors, and if you donate at
59:26freedomain.com slash donate, I will
59:27send you a copy as well, and I really
59:30do thank you guys so, so much.
59:32I really love and appreciate these
59:33conversations, and I look forward to
59:35our next one Sunday morning, no, no,
59:37no show, sorry, no show this Sunday,
