1
SPEAKER_00
 That's on a conscious level.
1
SPEAKER_00
We're doubting or we're worrying.
1
SPEAKER_00
Then we take whatever image comes into our consciousness of the doubt and the worry, and we turn it over to our emotional mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
That's what causes the fear.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, that fear then has to be expressed through the body, through the only instrument it can be expressed through, our physical body.
1
SPEAKER_00
It sets up a vibration known as anxiety.
1
SPEAKER_00
Anxiety is not expressed.
1
SPEAKER_00
Anxiety becomes suppressed.
1
SPEAKER_00
We suppress it.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And the suppression then turns to depression, which turns to disease, which turns to decay.
1
SPEAKER_00
You see, you're talking about a track a person gets on, it's a very negative track.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's ignorance, don't worry, fear, anxiety, suppression, depression, disease, disintegration.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now the polar opposite of all that,
1
SPEAKER_00
 The opposite of ignorance is knowledge.
1
SPEAKER_00
There's only one way to get to knowledge, and that is to study.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, unfortunately, school didn't do the job that it was designed to do for most of us.
1
SPEAKER_00
School should teach us to love to study.
1
SPEAKER_01
 Not to dread studying and homework and tests.
1
SPEAKER_00
They should teach us to love it.
1
SPEAKER_00
Because study leads to the opposite of don't worry, which is understanding.
1
SPEAKER_00
See, it's study that leads to understanding.
1
SPEAKER_00
We understand how to handle the fear.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's understanding that enables us to cause us to understand where the fear starts.
1
SPEAKER_00
The understanding then
1
SPEAKER_00
 We want to say, what do we understand?
1
SPEAKER_00
We want to understand this whole universe operates by law.
1
SPEAKER_00
One of the laws is the law of opposite.
1
SPEAKER_00
The opposite of don't worry is understanding.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, if the don't worry leads to fear, what's understanding leads to?
1
SPEAKER_00
Understanding leads to faith.
1
SPEAKER_00
The faith leads to expression, well-being and expression.
1
SPEAKER_00
 It's not depression.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's not suppression.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's not anxiety.
1
SPEAKER_00
The faith leads to wellbeing.
1
SPEAKER_00
The wellbeing then is expression, acceleration, because we're at ease.
1
SPEAKER_00
We're not at, there's not disease.
1
SPEAKER_00
So you're dealing with polar opposites.
1
SPEAKER_00
There's two different sides to things.
1
SPEAKER_00
And when we understand that, our world starts to change.
1
SPEAKER_00
 is by understanding that we learn how to deal with these pandemics when they hit.
1
SPEAKER_00
And they will hit.
1
SPEAKER_00
There will be others.
1
SPEAKER_00
There always has been, all down through history.
1
SPEAKER_00
If you look back, there's been things like this happen in the past.
1
SPEAKER_00
And unfortunately, the masses are sort of paralyzed by it.
1
SPEAKER_01
 Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_01
Why do we do that as people?
1
SPEAKER_01
Why do we feed people more of what scares them as opposed to what you and I do?
1
SPEAKER_00
Because that's what people want.
1
SPEAKER_00
That's what they buy.
1
SPEAKER_00
People don't buy good news.
1
SPEAKER_00
People buy bad news.
1
SPEAKER_00
 Why though?
1
SPEAKER_00
Can you imagine if everybody that tunes into CNN tuned into the School of Greatness every week?
1
SPEAKER_00
It'd be amazing.
1
SPEAKER_00
Can you imagine if everybody that tunes into Fox tuned into your School of Greatness every week?
1
SPEAKER_00
Have you any idea the impact you could have on the world?
1
SPEAKER_01
That's what we're trying to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
It'd be enormous.
1
SPEAKER_00
It'd be enormous.
1
SPEAKER_00
People want bad news.
1
SPEAKER_00
It resonates with where their mind is programmed.
1
SPEAKER_00
They're programmed with negative information.
1
SPEAKER_00
 Their paradigm is all bad news.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's what we're programmed with.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, is everybody new?
1
SPEAKER_00
There's a small select group of people that don't fall into that category, and they are always working diligently trying to lift everybody up.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's not an easy thing to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
 But every now and then, well, a Lewis Howes would come along and start a school of greatness, and he'll call in different people that feed into that concept, that are in harmony with that, that resonate with that, and so it makes it interesting for the listener, and then that's how it goes.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that's what you're doing, and that's what I'm doing.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it's not a losing battle.
1
SPEAKER_00
It just appears like it is.
1
SPEAKER_00
I'm winning.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think you're winning.
1
SPEAKER_00
 Now we're not drawing the numbers that CNN's drawing, but the ones we draw are saying absolutely.
1
SPEAKER_00
 You got it.
1
SPEAKER_01
You got it.
1
SPEAKER_01
Or making an impact on them, for sure.
1
SPEAKER_01
I'm curious.
1
SPEAKER_01
I want to ask you more about self-doubt, because this is something I've been fascinated with for the last few years, as I spent most of my life dealing with trying to understand how to overcome doubting myself and achieve the sports goals, business goals, relationship goals that I had throughout my younger years.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I became obsessed with learning how to eliminate doubt.
1
SPEAKER_01
 And I've been researching this more and just trying to learn from people like yourself on how you have dealt with self-doubt over the years and how you think anyone who feels like they're doubting themselves, what can they do to go from doubt into confidence?
1
SPEAKER_01
What do you think is the path?
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, that's a good question.
1
SPEAKER_00
It ties in with the previous question you asked.
1
SPEAKER_00
What do we do with fear?
1
SPEAKER_00
Fear comes from the doubt.
1
SPEAKER_00
 So the doubt becomes the cause of the fear, which is the cause of the anxiety, et cetera.
1
SPEAKER_00
The doubt is the cause, fear is the effect.
1
SPEAKER_00
What is the polar opposite to doubt?
1
SPEAKER_00
Understanding.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's understanding.
1
SPEAKER_00
That's the opposite of doubt.
1
SPEAKER_00
So what is it we want to understand?
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, if it's me that's entertaining doubt, why am I entertaining doubt?
1
SPEAKER_00
If I were to find out who I really am,
1
SPEAKER_00
 And I believe everything that's been taught down through the centuries, I would have no doubt, I would be realizing that I could do anything.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And the only thing that's causing a doubt is lack of understanding.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I'm going to keep studying and I'll gain a better understanding.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don't doubt myself.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don't doubt what I can do.
1
SPEAKER_00
Does that mean that I can do everything?
1
SPEAKER_00
No.
1
SPEAKER_00
When doubt appears, I'll eliminate it and I'll eliminate it fast because I'm going to figure out how to do whatever it is I'm doubting.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And you see, if it's me that I'm doubting, it's because I don't understand me well enough.
1
SPEAKER_00
I did a broadcast the other day.
1
SPEAKER_00
It was all over the place.
1
SPEAKER_00
We had thousands into it on self-image.
1
SPEAKER_00
And we've got to get a better image of ourself.
1
SPEAKER_00
We have to get a true image of ourselves, understand who we are, how our mind functions.
1
SPEAKER_00
Realize this physical instrument we're living in is nothing but an instrument.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's the instrument of the mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And the mind expresses itself within through this thing we call our body.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, let's understand that better.
1
SPEAKER_00
This thing, you're going to have power in your one hand to light up that building you're in for probably a month.
1
SPEAKER_00
Wow.
1
SPEAKER_00
There's about 11 million kilowatt hours per pound potential energy locked up in the electrons and the atoms of the body.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well,
1
SPEAKER_00
 That's the invisible power that's in me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I want to understand that better.
1
SPEAKER_00
That's the physical side.
1
SPEAKER_00
What's the higher side?
1
SPEAKER_00
Higher side is my intellectual side.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that is the intellectual factors that I ran through earlier.
1
SPEAKER_00
Perception, will, reason, imagination, memory, and intuition.
1
SPEAKER_00
There's six of them.
1
SPEAKER_00
 As I understand those more, as I understand my intellectual factors, I'm using the things that I'm utilizing and developing the things that separate me from all the rest of the animal kingdom of which I'm a part.
1
SPEAKER_00
Then I can tap into the spiritual essence of who I am because we're spiritual beings and that's where the greatness lies.
1
SPEAKER_01
 how you hypnotize yourself for success, what that was like, and I guess just that process.
1
SPEAKER_02
Look, I think the vision at a young age wasn't, I wouldn't call it as much, it was the early development of manifestation.
1
SPEAKER_02
And it was drawing, I have a self-portrait of myself from when I'm 14 years old where it's me, this is no joke, it is me in a matching hat.
1
SPEAKER_02
 and shoes, like, with a skateboard on the side, all of these, like, this art easel, and then just stacks and stacks of money.
1
SPEAKER_02
Really?
1
SPEAKER_02
You drew this?
1
SPEAKER_02
I hand drew it, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And it's like, the most fascinating aspect is it's this bizarre matching hat to shoes combo, you know?
1
SPEAKER_02
And to me,
1
SPEAKER_02
 Like I always like could feel intuitively the law of attraction really and so Even when I look at like I needed I I was lost at 25 years old when I was like searching for some sort of way to I
1
SPEAKER_02
 I was like a fix to help like redirect me and get me Remotivated and refocused and that's why I was looking for a hypnotist, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And then I found a hypnotist who was at the Scripps La Jolla Hospital and like and so to me I'm like, okay, this is
1
SPEAKER_02
 this is like a clinical psychologist, this is real, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And so when I got in there.
1
SPEAKER_01
Not some stage performer.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, and so to me it was like, when I got in there I was like looking for like, you know, give me, make me focused on skateboarding so I can win contests, like, you know, whatever my vision was.
1
SPEAKER_02
And he immediately did this test and said, you don't believe you were meant to be successful at your subconscious level.
1
SPEAKER_01
 And so, that's what he discovered after doing some tests.
1
SPEAKER_02
And then the initial hypnosis was just reinforcing at the subconscious level that I was meant to be successful, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
That I believe that, right?
1
SPEAKER_01
How do you learn to believe that if you hadn't believed it until then?
1
SPEAKER_02
 And look, I would say that I had, I grew it and built it at an early age and was starting to lose it.
1
SPEAKER_02
And then he helped.
1
SPEAKER_01
So you got it, which made you a professional at 16 and kind of go to the next level, but then somewhere you lost it.
1
SPEAKER_02
Right, he reinforced it and then boom, you know, and most recently I went to his house, you know, like a year ago.
1
SPEAKER_01
Really?
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I went to his house.
1
SPEAKER_02
He's like this hypnotist now, his lifelong friend, you know what I mean?
1
SPEAKER_02
I found him in the Yellow Pages.
1
SPEAKER_01
It was pre-internet.
1
SPEAKER_02
What's his name?
1
SPEAKER_02
The great Dr. George Pratt.
1
SPEAKER_02
 And so I've sent friends there.
1
SPEAKER_02
I go see him all the time.
1
SPEAKER_02
On my five-year anniversary, he presided over the five-year anniversary of when we renewed our vows.
1
SPEAKER_02
But I'm like, hey, can you just give me a check real quick?
1
SPEAKER_02
I just want to verify that I'm going to be a billionaire.
1
SPEAKER_02
He's like, come on in here.
1
SPEAKER_02
He's like, come on, stop it.
1
SPEAKER_02
You know that's going to happen.
1
SPEAKER_00
Wow.
1
SPEAKER_02
His psychological power, he's like, stop it.
1
SPEAKER_02
And it's just like, you're right, Dr. George.
1
SPEAKER_02
 But look, I think even, you know, we were both in Think and Grow Rich that we had shot before we did the initial interview together, too.
1
SPEAKER_02
He was in the movie?
1
SPEAKER_02
No, no, you, me and you.
1
SPEAKER_02
Oh, yeah, yeah, gotcha, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_02
Right, and it was, even back then, like, now I'm evolving and getting more intuitive of things, being attracted to me, but it wasn't till 2008,
1
SPEAKER_02
 In 18, I was in a bit of a, you know, like a bit of a pit of chaos, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
Because here's these great plans that I have built that were unfolding.
1
SPEAKER_02
2016, it was all coming alive, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
Our interview was at peak youthful energy of like, the world is mine.
1
SPEAKER_02
I just moved to Beverly Hills.
1
SPEAKER_02
I'm having my first child.
1
SPEAKER_02
Got my new office in Beverly Hills, like my forever estates.
1
SPEAKER_02
Just launched the machine that month, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
All of these things, like,
1
SPEAKER_02
 I'm gonna build and sell all these companies still had never done it just the vision the hope everything the energy of what was going to become and and so
1
SPEAKER_02
 But in 2018, things got sideways, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
The energy got sideways.
1
SPEAKER_01
How so?
1
SPEAKER_01
Was this the NBC show that didn't work out?
1
SPEAKER_02
No, this was them talking about ridiculousness going away, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
Really?
1
SPEAKER_02
And I had built Super Jacket for it to be acquired and it was just like, wow, it's like this entire thing that I've got built up and this is the first company I'm building to sell is going to kind of drift away here.
1
SPEAKER_02
 And my wife suggested, like, why don't we just watch The Secret?
1
SPEAKER_02
Wow.
1
SPEAKER_02
And so I'm like, you know, like, you know, and I kind of remember The Secret, you know, I sort of, like, remember The Secret.
1
SPEAKER_02
And then
1
SPEAKER_02
 I mean, the first 15 minutes, it just shifted my being.
1
SPEAKER_02
It shifted my being in a way of thinking of like, stop it.
1
SPEAKER_02
Look at who you are, what you've done, and look at the good that has constantly found its way to you.
1
SPEAKER_02
Don't lose sight of that.
1
SPEAKER_02
And I began to practice belief.
1
SPEAKER_02
 And literally like a month later, my my internal medicine specialist is talking about meditation.
1
SPEAKER_02
And I'm like, I have to meditate.
1
SPEAKER_02
And she's like, Oh, I, in my office, we have this new company that has these meditation pods, the Soma Dome, right.
1
SPEAKER_02
And I'm like,
1
SPEAKER_02
 Can I try it out?
1
SPEAKER_02
And inside this soma dome, it's a guided meditation about manifestation.
1
SPEAKER_02
Really?
1
SPEAKER_02
And so, what I started doing in 2018 is I was like, I'm not going to like hope for the law of attraction.
1
SPEAKER_02
I'm going to begin to practice it.
1
SPEAKER_02
 So I would go to sleep every night watching The Secret.
1
SPEAKER_02
So it was the last thing I went to bed and then when I would get up in the morning, I would get in my dome, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And I would just like think of all the things I wanted to happen, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And so instead of thinking in 2018 when they were talking about ending Ridiculousness and I was in season 12,
1
SPEAKER_02
 I wasn't, I wasn't, I decided I wasn't going to manifest season 13.
1
SPEAKER_02
I was going, I kept manifesting walking onto stage introducing season 30.
1
SPEAKER_01
 Holy cow, so you weren't thinking about the next season, you were thinking about 20 seasons away.
1
SPEAKER_02
Right, right.
1
SPEAKER_02
And so for me, it then evolved and it literally began, it was like the seas began to part, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
Because what happened is, because I own the production now,
1
SPEAKER_02
 I was able to negotiate directly with the head of the network on the unit economics of the show, rather than talent and producing fees.
1
SPEAKER_02
And so we got to a place where we decided from a business perspective, what was best for the network and the ever changing landscape of linear cable.
1
SPEAKER_02
And I gave him the, I'm like, give me the price you want, and then let me go and try to make it happen.
1
SPEAKER_01
 Because you used to have a talent feed that was bigger, and then you said, let's work this out.
1
SPEAKER_02
And somebody else would produce it.
1
SPEAKER_02
Now I produce the entire thing, own the entire production, so I understood where all the opportunity was to get it to his cost.
1
SPEAKER_02
And that, it's a nuance now, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
So I negotiated with him on the unit economics, where most
1
SPEAKER_02
 like even big celebrities and producers are still like like it's fees you know like you don't have the ability to get in that into depth because you don't you don't understand or own the production company at that level and so it goes from right there I got it to his number we negotiated and I was getting 30 episode seasons at a time back then
1
SPEAKER_02
 and I said I can only do this price if we get to 42 episodes and you've got to pick up multiple seasons.
1
SPEAKER_02
And I was hoping for two, he picked up four.
1
SPEAKER_02
And so it went from thinking that it was
1
SPEAKER_02
 completely like I'm gonna have to regroup and like television's over here to like now you're shooting 186, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And the beauty of it was is I had built the company up to that point.
1
SPEAKER_02
You needed three years of EBITDA to take it to market and sell it.
1
SPEAKER_02
The entire plan was like we gotta get through the third year and take it to market and on the third year they were like we don't think the show's coming back.
1
SPEAKER_02
 Basically like, okay, that means the production company's going out of business after I was getting ready to take it to market and be my big first win.
1
SPEAKER_02
And instead, that 186 order, I took it straight to market.
1
SPEAKER_02
Now I took it to market, here's the three years in EBITDA, and we have the biggest order in the history of cable television, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
That's the biggest order?
1
SPEAKER_02
One of the biggest ones, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
Wow.
1
SPEAKER_02
 That is how huge that changed.
1
SPEAKER_02
And then what happens?
1
SPEAKER_02
Now they have more episodes, they air more.
1
SPEAKER_02
It gets this new, entirely new life.
1
SPEAKER_02
Then they're like, can we get more?
1
SPEAKER_02
Then by the following year,
1
SPEAKER_02
 And keep in mind at that time I sold the company.
1
SPEAKER_01
What year is this now?
1
SPEAKER_02
The company was acquired in 2019.
1
SPEAKER_02
And then it was like it had this explosion.
1
SPEAKER_02
So then it's like how many can you...
1
SPEAKER_02
 Give us and I'm like so I went through all time management all aspect cuz keep in mind I'm still doing all of this while living super balanced and happy normal life so I could do 250 max 250 in a year.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, and then I was like, but in order to do that like can you pick up two years and then they were like, oh
1
SPEAKER_02
 No brainer, let's do it.
1
SPEAKER_02
So they then ordered 500.
1
SPEAKER_02
500 Eps?
1
SPEAKER_02
Yes.
1
SPEAKER_02
In two years.
1
SPEAKER_02
In two years, and that put me to 30 seasons, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
So it's like, so you know.
1
SPEAKER_02
Oh my goodness, so you're visualizing 30.
1
SPEAKER_02
Visualizing 30, and I'll tell you one thing, you know, I actually spent some time with the great Dr. Joey Dispenza, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And the one thing I heard from him,
1
SPEAKER_02
 is this idea of don't try to think it, try to feel it.
1
SPEAKER_02
When you're trying to tap into the quantum field and generate energy in the law of attraction, the things that you are thinking about, think about the feeling.
1
SPEAKER_02
 like went through the feeling of like what it feels like to be on stage, welcome to season 30, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
So it's a much more richer sort of existence.
1
SPEAKER_02
So now, now it's like I practice it every single day.
1
SPEAKER_02
I am, I am in, you know, that
1
SPEAKER_02
 soma dome meditation pod, like feeling what I want to happen, seven days a week, almost never miss a day, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And I track it super extensively.
1
SPEAKER_02
And like, literally, it's like 9796, like almost every like, like 97% of this entire year, I have been in there just visualizing what I want to happen.
1
SPEAKER_02
 I gotta get one of these domes.
1
SPEAKER_02
Keep in mind, think how hard it is to just meditate every day.
1
SPEAKER_02
It's so hard.
1
SPEAKER_02
Think about how hard it is to just do anything healthy every day.
1
SPEAKER_02
For five, ten minutes.
1
SPEAKER_02
It's a, I didn't do it overnight.
1
SPEAKER_02
 I had to grow into it.
1
SPEAKER_02
It's a muscle.
1
SPEAKER_02
Getting that level of discipline, being able to commit to it, you need to do it over and over.
1
SPEAKER_02
You go through your highs and lows, you stop for a little bit, you go back to it, you stop.
1
SPEAKER_02
It goes like that till you finally grow the muscle of the consistency and the discipline to where it turns into
1
SPEAKER_02
 Way of life.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I just don't I now I can't even imagine not doing if I don't do it in a day I'm like, oh like we're all my dreams How important is it for people to feel there what they want to manifest on a daily basis then as opposed to once in a while
1
SPEAKER_02
 I mean, look, I'm living proof that you can exponentially accelerate towards it if it's part of your focus.
1
SPEAKER_02
You know?
1
SPEAKER_01
Where do you think you'd be if you didn't do that on a daily basis?
1
SPEAKER_02
It's hard to say.
1
SPEAKER_01
And go to sleep almost every night watching The Secret or something like that.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I mean, look, but I, look, we've been falling asleep to a lot of Jim Rohn, this old Jim Rohn, this old school sort of, his sort of philosophy that's also super sharp.
1
SPEAKER_02
Because what I've just found is
1
SPEAKER_02
 is like, I'm gonna fall asleep instantly, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
I sleep pure and quick, but it's like, let me be in this sort of growth mindset as I'm drifting off asleep to set the tone for what it is.
1
SPEAKER_02
 I don't know, and it's, again, I think with a lot of stuff that I do, it's extreme.
1
SPEAKER_02
It's so extreme.
1
SPEAKER_01
You track every minute of your life.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, tracking every minute of my life, having the qualitative data of every single day, asking myself how I feel about my life, zero to 10, of life, work, and health.
1
SPEAKER_02
 The beauty of that is it is a clear indication of the quality of your life.
1
SPEAKER_02
And I see direct correlation to my discipline on my quantitative stuff.
1
SPEAKER_02
Did I get up at five?
1
SPEAKER_02
Did I brain train?
1
SPEAKER_02
Did I meditate?
1
SPEAKER_02
Did I get in the gym?
1
SPEAKER_02
Did I have a clean diet?
1
SPEAKER_02
Did I not drink?
1
SPEAKER_02
You could look straight up the line and look at the qualitative numbers and they are one for one, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And at scale,
1
SPEAKER_02
 You've gamified your discipline.
1
SPEAKER_02
In a sense, you've gamified driving the quality of your life.
1
SPEAKER_02
What does that do?
1
SPEAKER_02
What do all those things actually deliver to you?
1
SPEAKER_02
You're just happier.
1
SPEAKER_02
You're more fulfilled.
1
SPEAKER_02
You feel better about yourself.
1
SPEAKER_02
You have more confidence.
1
SPEAKER_02
You have more belief.
1
SPEAKER_02
All of these things, but again,
1
SPEAKER_02
 I started it in 2015.
1
SPEAKER_02
I was never able to do an entire year until 2020.
1
SPEAKER_02
It took me 5 years to do an entire year.
1
SPEAKER_02
Now in 2021,
1
SPEAKER_02
 I set my goals in 2021 based off of having an entire year of this data to be like I'm going to average 20 points above on the quality of life qualitative data and I'm going to be 80% on my health balance quantitative stuff and that's what I committed to only I am currently at like
1
SPEAKER_02
 21 and like 95 it just wow it like once I gamified it and now I'm playing the stats like it made me even that much more disciplined and excited and energetic to
1
SPEAKER_02
 Stay more disciplined which in turn gives you more energy more discipline and more self-belief more self-belief more successful all these things that compound on top of each other because that's you know, it really is a compound effect in all aspects of your life if you're if you see your life as All of these different systems that have the ability to expand
1
SPEAKER_02
 Because as they expand and they're harmonious you get this extraordinary energy and build this great foundation that you grow into the ideal version of yourself because that's ultimately everybody's goal.
1
SPEAKER_01
If you could only do five things on a daily basis that would set you up for…
1
SPEAKER_01
 freedom, success, abundance, what would those five things be?
1
SPEAKER_02
To me, it is the core five that I do.
1
SPEAKER_02
I'll skip brain train because that's just more like a discipline thing for fun.
1
SPEAKER_02
But you get up early.
1
SPEAKER_02
Lately, I've been getting up at 4 and 4.30 because it's like you
1
SPEAKER_02
 you get so much out of being highly organized and having time to get a ton of stuff executed before the chaos starts, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
Because I don't care who you are, the chaos starts, you know, in my case it starts at seven, the moment my kids get up.
1
SPEAKER_02
So everything that I can get done ahead of then
1
SPEAKER_02
 is essential, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And including free thinking and ideating and all these things that get lost when you're just going from thing to thing to thing and exhausted and then like veg out, get up, go thing to thing to thing, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
The life force is constantly recalibrating and getting clarity on where your head is as part of it.
1
SPEAKER_02
But one for sure, get up early.
1
SPEAKER_02
 Meditate, you know, and everybody does it in a lot of different ways, but like, I don't, meditation for me isn't get quiet and breathe.
1
SPEAKER_02
It is, I put headphones on, I get in a dome, and I listen to a guided manifestation meditation that's like basically dry, like reinforcing my drive and ambition and hopes and dreams rather than trying to like bring peace.
1
SPEAKER_02
And it's a different style, but I think anytime
1
SPEAKER_02
 You just take that like 20 minutes to be outside of your body and ultimately the reality, if you will, is a great reset.
1
SPEAKER_02
And, you know, I think, you know, number one far, you know, far and above is diet, man.
1
SPEAKER_02
I just don't, I don't, I don't care.
1
SPEAKER_02
 I don't, there is, if I could boil down the core of my happiness, the core of my execution, the core of, it is literally clean diet, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And it also compounds, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And it's, and it goes, it compounds back and forth, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
Because like, you can get clean and get a big momentum and you can just start to eat lightly bad and you just level off, you know what I mean?
1
SPEAKER_02
You definitely can't go a layer deeper.
1
SPEAKER_02
 But it is, of course, the hardest one to maintain.
1
SPEAKER_02
It's the battle between the upper self and lower self, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
It is that pure battle of like, you know, you know you shouldn't be doing it, but like you just can't stop it.
1
SPEAKER_02
Then once you start it, here's the problem for someone like me.
1
SPEAKER_02
 I have to create all this discipline and gamify it to protect me from me.
1
SPEAKER_02
Because I will start to dip down.
1
SPEAKER_02
To justify.
1
SPEAKER_02
I'll dip down and then I'll do like fake health for a while, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And then I'll be like...
1
SPEAKER_02
 After my wife's birthday, then I'm going to get focused again.
1
SPEAKER_02
You're always like breaking that battle between my upper and lower self.
1
SPEAKER_02
I would say even this year is probably the only year and I was committed to it again because I had the data.
1
SPEAKER_02
 and now seeing, gamifying it as like, I just want my body composition this, you know what I mean?
1
SPEAKER_02
I swear, normally it would literally, summer, dip back, oh, back up in the winter.
1
SPEAKER_02
Start it over January 1st.
1
SPEAKER_02
It's almost like in December, it's just pizza and wine.
1
SPEAKER_02
And cheese and cookies, ice cream.
1
SPEAKER_02
And to me, it's like.
1
SPEAKER_01
So how do you, do you do an 80-20 approach to that?
1
SPEAKER_01
Do you have a cheap day?
1
SPEAKER_01
How do you make sure you're not this disciplined,
1
SPEAKER_02
 Freak of nature all day long and not also enjoying moments of yeah, I try to like like not put a I just try not to lose control.
1
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, right and and then I keep a foundation of and my foundation is just
1
SPEAKER_02
 Chicken, vegetables, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
And intermittent fasting.
1
SPEAKER_02
So I just, no rice, no bread, no snacks.
1
SPEAKER_02
Chicken and vegetables at like 10 or 11.
1
SPEAKER_02
Chicken and vegetables at like three or four.
1
SPEAKER_02
And then, okay, it's date night, like I'm gonna go with the wife and we're gonna go movie, I'll have popcorn.
2
SPEAKER_01
 Like it's your baseline that you can commit to and now it's a battle between your upper and lower self.
2
SPEAKER_01
Where do I lose it?
2
SPEAKER_01
 in the spring when I went on vacation.
2
SPEAKER_01
So I had to, and I got back into that same mode where I like, I dipped so quick.
2
SPEAKER_01
And it was a five day trip to Cambo, and I'm in a dog fight.
2
SPEAKER_01
It felt like I was like fighting to like get back to that extraordinary discipline, right?
2
SPEAKER_01
And even with this much discipline, I was still fighting it, you know, and wavered throughout the summer, but,
2
SPEAKER_01
 Stay committed to let's be this year.
2
SPEAKER_01
Look at how disciplined, how much better you feel about life, all the things that are happening to you.
2
SPEAKER_01
Let this be the beginning.
2
SPEAKER_01
At year five, I finally had a pure year that I envisioned in 2016 that I was trying to sell to you that I was going to develop and be.
2
SPEAKER_01
And it took five years.
2
SPEAKER_01
 And I just think that's another testament of like, you're talking, I'm so disciplined, I'm so committed, yet I still highs and lows and chaos, like it took me five years before I, well really four years, into the fifth year before I really got there, you know what I mean?
2
SPEAKER_01
 which is just a testament to having a plan and knowing that, hey, you're gonna grow into this over the next 25 years and not try to do it in six months, one year, two year, three years.
