Okay, so welcome everybody to the Amherst Community Chat for Thursday, October 29. Today we have special guest Amherst Police Captain Gabe Ting and Amherst COVID Ambassador Coordinator. That's such a tongue twister. Kat Newman, as well as your town manager, Paul Bachman. My name is Brianna, communications manager for the town. So welcome everybody who's joining us today. I'm going to give a chance for your town manager to give any updates he has. Brianna. So yeah, a couple of things happening. One is we're getting ready for Halloween, which we'll talk a little bit with a Gabon cat about. But also last Friday, the university announced that it was its plans for February and announcing that it was going to increase the number of students living on campus from about 1200 to about 8700. And so that's given everybody a lot of time to start to think about it. And they have really proven themselves over the course of this semester with a very robust testing regimen. So built some confidence in their ability to manage forward. We obviously the town has concerns, but we are meeting. We meet with the university weekly on those types of things. Also note that the Amherst College announced today that it was its plans for the spring and they're increasing their students on campus as well. So those are two quick updates. Great. Thank you, Paul. And before I ask cat and captain gave tank to introduce themselves. I just want to remind everybody who's joined live. You will get a chance to ask questions. Feel free to start putting those into the Q&A button. If you're joining us from zoom, you may also raise your hand in zoom to be acknowledged live or pressed star nine. If you're joining from a telephone. All right. So captain, do you want to introduce yourself and say hello to the room? Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. I am the operational captain for the Amherst police department. Been here for 23 years in the department and. My local, I grew up in Amherst. So just happy to be here and appreciate the invitation. Great. Thank you. And Kat. Hi everyone. I'm Kat Newman. She her pronouns on the COVID-19 Amherst ambassador coordinator. As Brianna said, it's quite a mouthful. And I'm just really, really happy to be here and get to connect with you all. So thanks for having us. Excellent. So, um, I know we're going to talk a little bit about Halloween, Halloween safety and just some of the outreach that you've been doing generally. Um, can you guys report out on some of the recent happenings that you've, that you've been working on. And Kat, I know you have a great, um, visuals to show us too. So let me know if you wanted to start and I can have some of those things queued up. Okay. Sure. Um, yeah. So maybe what we'll start with, um, Is the document where the community partners. So one of the things that I'd like to talk a little bit about with everyone is on October 24th, which was last weekend on Saturday. We were blessed with a really lovely weather, which was great. Um, we did a really large townwide effort around Halloween safety. Um, and so I just wanted to have Brianna pull this up because, um, really, I think that the pandemic in particular is highlighting the ways that we need to come together. Um, right. To support communities and things like that. And so I think that this outreach, uh, day really highlights how well functioning of a, of a team we have. Um, and really it's, you know, we need to, I think pay homage just to the, the partnerships and the, and the really interesting and unique collaboration we have. So I just wanted to also say thank you publicly to all the folks from the town of Amherst. It was really great to have so many of the council folks there. Um, you know, as well as folks from inspection services, Mindy Dahmer, state rep came out, which was great. And then we also had a whole host of folks from the UMass, um, Amherst area as well. So Dean of students, Tony Morulis, Betsy Cracko, Sally Lenowski and Mora. We also had Rowan and Anne who are working over at the testing center at UMass, which was really great.  We also had our UMass police department. We often do outreach with them. It was really great to see them. So big shout out to Brian and Tom. And then also from our Amherst police department. Uh, we also, what was exciting about this is we had sort of our folks who are often doing community outreach with us, but also some of our newer officers. So they're getting to sort of see that aspect of community outreach and policing. Um, and then also, um, the other team that I oversee at UMass team, positive presence, uh, who are part of the walk this way crew who belong to the pure health ambassador network. Um, also helped in creating all of these materials and helping put them together. So I just wanted to take a second to sort of say thank you to all of those folks. Um, as well as let our community know that it's a really big effort. And I think a lot of times, especially in COVID that. You know, we're seeing things like, you know, we're working virtually a lot of times, right? So we don't always get to see all the behind the scenes work and just a really big thank you to these folks. They volunteered on their Saturday, many of them to do this. Um, so what I wanted to do was then talk a little bit about where we did outreach. Um, Brianna, if you could pull that up. So what we did was we designated six different areas. Um, and these areas are done, uh, sort of made or identified, if you will, excuse me, um, in a variety of ways. So some of it is outreach. Many of these areas are outreach that we've already done. Um, knock and talk throughout the semester. And then a lot of our, um, outreach is also funneled through with the COVID, uh, hotline. And so if there's areas of concern or things like that, we sort of do follow up visits to that. So I have a student on my, uh, staff right now who's a geography major over at UMass and is really interested in map making. So he prepared individual maps for folks, like while they were out in the field to see where they're going. And then I think visuals are really helpful. So we wanted to sort of share out with folks where we went and what we did. So we had six different, um, groups total. Uh, we really wanted to be cognizant of social distancing. Um, you know, in our own groups and sort of at large. So that's why we broke them up this way. And then we could also cover more ground. Um, so what's really exciting about this is that we went to total out of these six groups, we went to 386 different locations. So that's 386 different knocks on doors and chatting with folks. And one of the things that I think is also really important to highlight about this work is, you know, Paul, you had talked about UMass, you know, bringing folks back and really we're a community, right? That has students as well as permanent residents, right? And that's what makes hammer such a robust, thriving, exciting community, I think. And this outreach, um, wasn't targeted just to students or just to permanent residents. It was both. So we interacted with, um, 119 permanent residents. So little ittle-bittles that we talked about their spider man costumes that they were talking about to older residents. Um, and then a lot of college students, we interacted with 204 of those. Um, so that was really exciting. And then quickly, I wanted to talk about some of the materials and the messaging that we did during that outreach. So we're going to, if you want to pull up one of those flyers, um, I can share that. So this is something that our student teams over at UMass at team positive presence made. So we did sort of two different, they're two-sided chops. I have the live version. Um, but, uh, the first page is for sort of tips and tricks. So it's a little bit, um, of safety reminders and things like that. We had received guidance, um, through the CDC, which is on the town website. Um, and so we sort of reemphasize that messaging. What's important to note about this, I think, is that a lot of this messaging is already stuff that we've been doing on a weekly basis with folks. It's just sort of with a, a Halloween twist, if you will. Um, we also are providing sort of alternate things to do in place of in-person gatherings. I think we're all cognizant and aware that the weather is getting colder. So we want to really emphasize to folks on ways to stay safe. And then the second side of that, so if you want to scroll down, Brianna, um, was sort of a, a tips and tricks edition that we put out for our permanent residents, um, or folks that we would perceive as having trick or treaters.   And then we also had a lot of conversations with permanent residents that might be giving treats to folks. Um, so what we asked was, um, and this is all based on the information that was put out on the town website as well. Um, and those QR codes down there link directly to the town site, as well as the mass.gov site. Um, but really like talking with residents and, you know, some people are die hard Halloween folks. Um, no pun intended, I guess, with Halloween. Um, and they really wanted to, you know, still put something out or participate and wanted to do that safely. So we had a lot of conversations. Um, we spoke with my group, spoke with an Amherst professor who said, well, could I put individual things out like lining my deck sort of so people could just take one piece of candy.  Um, and then also if you want to, uh, pivot to the next flyer, um, these were also recommended Halloween tips and tricks activities as well that we had folks, um, put up. So again, just another way to reemphasize that, you know, we know it's Halloween. We know everyone is sort of having pandemic fatigue in a way, but there are a lot of ways that you can still sort of celebrate and enjoy Halloween around and doing that safely. So we sort of talked about some of those. And then it was also exciting to highlight some of the town of Amherst events that are happening. Um, so we highlighted those and put the QR code there. And then the second side of that flyer, um, also talks a little bit more around, you know, planning your visit while you're out and what you do when you return home. Um, and then I'm going to have you actually show the last flyer as well. Um, so one of the things that I think is really interesting about this work and it's sort of, um, when I think about, you know, my work in social justice and the practice and all of that, it's really about relationship building. Is that the core of that? And I think one of the things that we hear time and time again, both from our students as well as our permanent residents is that, you know, they love Amherst and they want to return to a, you know, typical life in Amherst and things like that. And there are so many people are doing the right thing, but I think that when we can articulate, um, compassion and care and sort of saying to folks like, Hey, we're here. You might not see us necessarily, but we're here and so many people are doing the right thing. I think that's important. So one of the things that we piloted this week was little sorry. We missed you. Um, love notes.  And again, you show, you saw that list of 30 different people who are dedicated to keeping folks safe. Um, and so we left this on people's door steps that we didn't get to, uh, chat with necessarily and left a little, our little flyers with some candy. So some reverse trick or treating. Um, and this was really well received. We actually had an, um, two older residents stop one of our groups. They weren't really interested in, in chatting with us per se, um, because they wanted to maintain social distance and had some things, but they were so excited about the note. Um, and so I think that that's just something that's been kind of cool to see. Yeah. Uh, it's great with having some visuals. And I think, um, especially for people who received that note is, it's a really positive way of connecting. I wanted to take a quick pause because there's a couple of questions in the room. Um, so we've got a question here. What are the hours for trick or treating. On Saturday. So I don't think we have really designated hours for trick or treating. There is a, um, car parade that the LSE is sponsoring, I think from three to four. And that's one way that starts at the high school, I believe. And then that's one way to participate. And it's really up to the individuals to, um, decide, is there something cat has an answer maybe. It's on our flyer. Okay. It's on there. If people want, if, you know, it's also on our QR code there. So. And I guess this, this is a kind of connects, maybe Captain Ting can give us some context for this. I mean, Amherst, even before COVID didn't necessarily have established Halloween trick or treat times. Is that right? As far as there's, there's never been a designated time per se. Um, in general, uh, in our larger neighborhoods, you know, we've, we've traditionally seen a lot of, um, people trick or treating in the Amherst woods and Echo Hill areas. Um, and it's usually during daylight hours. And, you know, it's a lot of times it's young kids with families and whatnot. And, uh, usually ends by eight o'clock, nine o'clock at the latest. Uh, so really during the majority of daylight hours is when you'll see most of the trick or treaters. Great. Thank you. And that's a question that comes up every year, not just during COVID. I know over the years we've gotten that question, you know, wanting to know what the official time is. So. And just to be clear, you know, while the town has offered some low risk, um, options or events through LSSE and, um, we've put out some guidance or tips are the safest way, um, to celebrate Halloween this year is staying home or participating in those low risk activities. So, um, there's a hard hitting question that just came into the room. Name, name your favorite Halloween candy. Well, Well, that's a no brainer. I don't think it needs, everybody knows what the right answer is. So, right. Corn. That's right. Well, I'm going to, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Snickers. So if you guys won't commit.  So let's see. I know we had some great visuals for some of those events that I'm, I'm happy to put back up as cat shared some photos, but we also have some other questions that have come in. Um, So I'm going to grab a couple of those. Uh, one of them. And this is open to anybody in the room. So I'm going to move the university's decision to open up the campus to 7,000 plus additional students. Will that bring added risk to the town? I've done a lot of talking. So I'm just going to be quiet to make space. That's, that's not me copying out. I'm just recognizing that I've spoken a lot already. So yeah, the kind of, you know, we, I mentioned this earlier. I think that there is any additional people in town brings a certain level of risk with it. I think that we don't know where we are. We know where we are today. We don't know where we're going to be on February 1st. So it's really hard to make a judgment at this moment in time. I think with proper protocols, things can be managed well. There's some evidence that having students on campus is one of the safest place for students to be. And so our biggest concern as a town is really the off-campus activity and the sort of migration of students on campus to off-campus, which hasn't been that, that happening that much this year, mainly because there aren't that many students on campus. So that's big, our biggest point of concern I think is off-campus and maybe, oops, Gabe, you're leaving. Well. I will say too, Paul, like when we do door knocks and Gabe's back so he can maybe pop in. But I will say when we do door knocks with off-campus students, I think it's really important. And again, I'm not trying to sort of, you know, spin or promote one narrative over the other. I want to be really clear about that. I'm just saying that this is what we here and see on the ground is that the majority of students, including those who live off-campus are really wanting to do the right thing, are being safe. You know, when we do these door knocks, everyone is like, yep, I went and got tested and they share some really interesting ways that they're, you know, being safe, you know, things like we have a chalkboard in our house and we have the name, the one name of somebody who is allowed into our house. And that's it because my grandma is immunocompromised and I want to be able to visit my grandma and things like that. So I think that that's like a really important piece to hold because I think oftentimes in, you know, times of crisis and a pandemic is that, right? Like it's really easy to be afraid and to jump to that. And I think it's also really important to, you know, honor and respect those feelings, but also really balance it with like Paul said, like a lot of proper protocol and procedures in place are doing that. And there's a lot of folks that are doing that. It's a well oiled machine in many ways. So you had to add to that. And when we were going door knocking, we went to a fraternity and we asked about testing and they said, oh, we go on Tuesdays. It's like they all knew that's our day. And that was sort of a group activity and they all went together. But I think Gabe, it'd be interesting. I think we've noticed a very, a pretty strong downturn in the number of large gatherings that we've had this, this fall, right?  You know, I understand the concerns in the future can never totally be predicted. Certainly with the strategy strategies that have been implemented from UMass from the rules and regulations so far on campus and the amount of testing that they've been doing. Their plan seems to be, you know, pretty solid and I'm pretty optimistic that we're going to be able to work with it to try and ensure everyone's safety as best as possible. And certainly from what we've seen, what we've learned from the town side in terms of large gatherings and whatnot. For the most part, all of the parties off campus within the college community have been small. They've been reasonable and, you know, what has disappeared is the large day drinks and large scale parties that you would normally see on any given weekend. If COVID wasn't apparent, but certainly it seems like the college community has been trying their best, you know, their college kids and they certainly want to socialize and they do want to gather and but for the most part it's been pretty responsible and the students have been responsive and I feel pretty confident that even with the addition of the students coming in in the spring that that will probably continue. You know, it just seems like the current culture has changed and it's becoming a lot more accepted and in terms of social distancing and wearing masks and just being responsible. So I'm fairly optimistic about it. And can I add one more thing to that? If that's okay. So you just made me think about it. So again, I think, I think this partnership between the town and the university is so interesting and so unique. So while we were out in our group, I had one of the folks Rowan who works over at UMass at the Mullen Center for testing and it was really great because we had stopped with some students and we had had a really, you know, a good lengthy conversation with them and they had asked some questions. We also had one of the officers in our group. So they had asked some questions around sort of how noise violations work and, you know, and gatherings and then specifically on testing and we had another group of students that we talked with and they were talking about how to better community relations with their, with their next door neighbor because they said, you know, we live in a house with four people. Our neighbor came up and said, you need to social distance because a birthday card was delivered to the wrong house.  We want to make sure she's comfortable. We want her to know, you know, we have a shared bathroom, but we're staying to our pod. We were just out fixing our bicycle sort of. And from that, actually those students had asked their public health students. And so they're going to be looking for more folks, students over at the testing center. And so we were able to kind of connect them in and, and pass them along to, to Rowan and, you know, see about if they can help support that work at UMass. And I think that again, just shows this really, you know, collaborative nature and through talking with those two young women, they had already been in conversation with Sally Lanowski at the off-campus student center for some other things. So it's, it's really cool to see how seamless this all is. And I think that the more communication and transparency in that way, it really helps, you know, create that, that wraparound approach, which I think will help procedures and, and policy be, you know, just better implemented. I agree. I just want to add that, you know, the collaborations that we've been making, you know, certainly with our partners at the university in trying to, you know, make this, this is an issue that affects all of us here within the community. So it really takes everyone's hand to participate in order to make sure that this, that there's a successful outcome.   And, you know, it's just become a normalcy for the student body, which is just wonderful to see. So, so I guess in short, it seems like the efforts that we've been making as well as the students in the university collaboratively have been working. All right. So I've got another question from the room, Jeff. Jeff says he finds the statistics on the online dashboards of the town and UMass maintained to be quite valuable. The town site publishes daily townwide COVID case counts, but does not list historical data. Could this information be added to the dashboard page so that we can get an idea of the trends? That's mostly your question, Brianna. You run it. Yeah. So I mean, it's more of a, I guess if our public health director were here, it's more of, um, been a decision on how we present that information coming from that office. That being said, um, if, if they decided to want to present the information in that way, we could add it to that, to that space. Um, right now for those who aren't familiar with that dashboard, we, uh, we update it usually in the afternoon with the current active cases within the town, as well as the cumulative case count, but it doesn't really give you that, um, perception of, you know, did we just go down or go up over the last few days unless you check it religiously, like probably Jeff and me. Um, but that being said, um, we have a new public health director who's coming online. If she hasn't already Paul, is she Monday, she starts Monday. So I will take that feedback and I will definitely discuss that with her to see if that's something that we can kind of incorporate moving forward. Thank you, Jeff. All right. So we have six minutes left time flies when you're having fun. Um, I just want to give a last chance for the folks in the room. If they wanted to pop in another question, comment. Um, Now is the time. Otherwise I have a couple of other questions that were submitted, um, previously. And I think, I think it's important this one because of the, our special guests here. Um, I've gotten this question a couple of times is how does the ambassador program and Amherst police connect or how do they work together? Is it something that's in Amherst police? Is it a town-wide initiative? So if either of you could speak to that, that'd be great. Yeah. Gabe, do you want to chat or you want me to chat again? I just feel like I've been talking a lot. So I want to make space. That's okay. You know, I'll just say, you know, I don't want to talk too much about that. But I'll just, I'll throw something out there and you can add to a cat. You know, the ambassador program is, um, it's an issue. It's. There aren't too many of them out there, you know, and. You know, I know there's one in Worcester and there's some out, out West in California, but, um, for this area, this is kind of a new way of doing things. Um, and it's been highly successful. Um, I don't know if that's what I'm going to let Kat talk about that, but in terms of the collaboration between us and the ambassadors, you know, we, we don't run the ambassador program, the police department. We're there as a resource and to support the ambassador program. So we kind of see ourselves as a partnership. You know, certainly the ambassadors, uh, utilize, you know, what we have to offer to kind of augment their mission, because ultimately their mission is the same mission as ours. So we're trying to solve these problems and to try and find successful resolution. So, um, I would characterize that mostly as, as a partnership. We're just, we're there to help each other out. Yeah. If you want to add to that. No, I think that's a great way of, of, um, framing it. Gabe. Thank you. And I think, um, you know, it's, we're, we're a town program and we're housed, um, within the, within the police station. And I think that makes a lot of sense in many ways because we had a, we had the opportunity to be part of those organizations. We had our own organization. Uh, and we had the opportunity to be part of that. Um, and, and my, I mean, um, I think um, I don't, I I, I think you said it to me heavily, um, as Gabe was saying, and you know, Officer Laramie has been really helpful. He's the community neighborhood liaison officer. And that also has dovetailed. A lot of the work that I've done at the off-campus student center when I run the walk this way program. good example, Brianna, to this question of showing sort of other roles, you know, our role is responding to COVID right now, right, and sort of helping create a positive, you know, sort of entry point in COVID. So mask, you know, in education and things like that. One of the things that we're going to be doing and a big shout out to the town clerk Suadette who came in yesterday, along with Captain, with Gabe and, and our staff meeting, we're going to actually be deploying some of our, our ambassadors to be at polling locations for election day. And they're going to basically be there in the main role of them, you know, because they're a town employee, they're not trained to be poll workers. So they're, they're sort of as a, as a neutral presence. And they're handing out masks, if anybody has shown up to the poll and forgot theirs, or if they're, you know, if it's laundry day, and they, they forgot it. So they're going to do that. And there's also going to be touchless hand sanitizers that are at all of the polling sites that Sue had been talking to us about. And that's new this year. And so it was something that they thought people might actually just walk right by. So our ambassadors are there to kind of remind folks to do that. So that's kind of an example, because again, one of our things, right, is for, for poll, for voting and things which we want folks to do in our community. One of the barriers with COVID was that people might not feel safe for in person voting. So the role of the ambassadors then is to, you know, go and sort of help, how do we mitigate, how do we lessen that barrier? And that's one of the things we're doing. And again, we're doing that in conjunction with multiple town offices, you know, and there's many of the officers and the constables will be there. So again, it'll be part of that partnership. But we're not directly, you know, we're not directly through the police department. And I think that that's actually a really important piece. And Gabe kind of spoke to this around, there's not a lot of programs like this in the country right now. And I think it's a really cool way to show how you can partner with police and not make everything fall onto police, right? It's a really good reallocation of those resources and those roles. I just want to jump on that a little bit. So the elections, the thing is really important for us because we anticipate there'll be lines we've done really well. We're at 49.4% of the registered voters have voted already. We'd like to get that up, typically in a presidential election year, we're in the 68 to 69% of registered voters. We do anticipate because of social distancing, the lines will seem long because we're asking people to be 60 of part. And there's a single, it's a thing called line comfort is educating people saying, hey, it's just about five minutes from here, helping, you know, if people have a hard time parking, if there's someone who needs support, it's just so they're not election workers, but just sort of folks to help augment the current force that we have out there. And also, I think what's really important is just what Kat mentioned is that the philosophy of this is to create a culture of compliance and not enforcement. Because public health researchers know that voluntary compliance is much more effective than punitive measures. And so we don't want to lose the sense of enforcement, but we really want to lead with the positive notion. And I think that's been very successful for us. And especially with the with our community. So thanks for and I just have to say, you know, Kat was able to stand up this program in like record time with enormous, a lot of a lot of people employed and out on the streets doing the work within days, it seemed it might have been a week, but boy, it happened fast. Thank you. My team, I feel really happy and so privileged to be brought on to really good, you know, collaboration. So thank you, Paul, for that. All right, I know 30 minutes went by really quick. It's 12 30. I do want to give a chance. If there's anything else we want to leave folks with you didn't get a chance to say, feel free to do that now. Just be safe on Halloween. Make make wise choices. Yes. So we will be back next week at noon with new special guests. This recording will be up on our YouTube channel. And if you're watching this on YouTube, feel free to subscribe to our channel right now. Okay, thank you all. Have a great day. Halloween. Have a beautiful day. Funny.


Scientists have studied the biggest factor, what makes people successful. Not just with money, but in life in general. And there's a few things. This is part of kind of my 67 steps if you've never been in that program, but one of the things is awareness. And I'm not going to talk about that now, I've recorded on this what I learned about awareness. I'm flying home now from the farm, here by Joel Salatin, my first mentor. I'm flying to LAX, so we're driving to Washington DC to catch a flight. But what I wanted to say is number two, interchangeably as important as awareness is something called conscientiousness, and they kind of blur together. So in some ways, awareness is a subset of conscientiousness. So what I want to talk about for one second is if you want to make more money, you raise your conscientiousness, not just work harder, not just get a better college degree, not just get a better diploma, a piece of paper, forget all that. I'm going to the core crux of the matter, the heart of the matter, the root of it. And some people are conscientious and some people aren't. And I've never met someone successful that's not highly conscientious that doesn't have super power of conscientiousness. So I've got to explain this because this is something they never teach at school. No parents really teach their kids anymore. They used to teach this 100 years ago, but it's zero.  Now, maybe you'll learn one percent of the population becomes engineers. The rest stop teaching calculus in high school. Have you seen kids nowadays? You think they can think through life's problems? No. Those are conscientiousness is it's four things and I'm going to add a fifth one. Scientists give it four. I'm adding prudence, which means the ability to make wise decisions. Prudence. We all have that one friend.    That's low prudence. There's a choice between two career paths.  They have low prudence. So that's the first thing. The second thing is what they call industriousness or diligence. That's working hard when you need to and not being lazy. It's easy to understand. The third one is organization. Organization is not just writing out a to-do list. It's putting it in order. I know a lot of people that write to-do lists and they're all randomly in order. They the most important thing is the last and so can you organize your day? Can you organize your thoughts? I think that's what the school system thinks math teaches kids. I was super good at math, by the way. It didn't teach me anything about being an organized brain, really. Maybe a teeny bit. You get a 10% boost from being, but forget math. Get common sense and you'll be good. You can pay somebody else to do the math for you. You can pay an accountant. You think I do my own taxes? No. You think I build my own bridges? No. You hire engineers. So that's the third thing. The fourth thing, and this is a big one, is called perfectionism. That means do you double and triple check your work? This world is full of people that just go, they do. You give them an assignment, they do it, and then you're like, do you think it's done right? And they're like, yeah, probably. No, probably.  If you're kind of stupid and no common sense, check it 30 times because you don't have good common sense. You better double check more, triple check. When you get on an airplane, no other's basically no airplane crashes in the world as a ratio of how many flights there are. There's millions of flights and like zero crashes. Simple. There's a system called Six Sigma that was developed. Big companies used to use it. Engineers used to use it. And Six Sigma says you only make one person, three mistakes per million actions. And so how do you do that? That seems outrageous. Looking out of every million flights, there will only be three problems with engines. Not even crashes. Just problems. Easy. They create double, triple, quadruple checklists. When you get on an airplane, there's an airplane co-pilot reading off the list. Double checking. They don't just take off. They go, all right, check the ailerons, check the landing gear, check the electric, check everything. And then double checking. Then people can't figure out why they go broke all the time. I can't. You're not a perfectionist. And also though, just to be clear, prudence, which we talked about earlier, which is making wise decisions, there's a time when you shouldn't be a perfectionist.  They'll have their nails done perfectly. Perfect. They'll have their eyebrows done perfect. Male or female, by the way. I'm not picking on one or another. They'll have their shoes shy and perfect, but then their life is in shambles.  And it's like, what do you mean? Oh, they're supposed to be a perfectionist, you said, Ty? No. Perfection is an important stuff. Like be a perfectionist with making money. Double and triple check. I knew a guy had a nightclub, and he couldn't figure out why he never made money. I was like, bro, people stealing from you. You're employees. I'm like, do you double and triple check? Do you compare the little clicker from your bouncer? How many people walked in the club to how much money you took home? And if you're charging, we used the charge cover charge. If you're charging 20 bucks and a hundred people came through the door, did you ever just go, oh, I should have $2,000? No, he was just randomly like, well, it'll all work out. No, it doesn't. It doesn't all work out. People steal from you. You end up making $1,400 because $600 goes out the door to somebody. So perfectionism. And then this fifth one, now scientists don't have this fifth one, but I've talked to some scientists because I think the fifth one is awareness. So here's situational awareness, but I'll give you an example. This is funny. Joel Salatin, my first mentor, I don't know if we had a little clip of him earlier. This is an amazing thing about Joel. This, I swear, I should make this his own video. So Joel is the most situationally aware person. He's not daydreaming. He's not, you know, going, oh, like he's not planning 33 years out from now. He's paying attention to what he's doing now. This same, I've had this save my life before, especially working around heavy equipment. I've had people almost killed that I bring from the city to a farm because they're not situationally aware. We're putting up huge eight foot 300 pound posts and they're like looking at their phone and we have a little, you know, like a winch holding it up and the winch unsnaps and the pole comes and I'm like, oh my God, pay attention. And here's a story, two stories. Even when I was 19, I was walking through a field with Joel Salatin daydreaming because I was from the city and people in the city are told that daydreaming is such a wonderful thing. Yeah. Once in a while, if you're Albert Einstein, it is. But even Albert Einstein paid attention to what he was doing in the moment. He came up with the theory of relatively equals MC squared while he was working at the post office 10, 10 hours a day, sorting mail, paying attention. He wasn't, people have this thing like, oh, Stephen Hawking Albert Einstein. They just lay there and just daydream and let their mind wander. Yeah. Sometimes, but not all the time. So I'm walking through this field with Joel. I'm like, blah, blah, and I didn't notice there was a gate open and all the cattle were getting out. I'll never forget this. He turned to me. He kind of jolted me at home. He raised his voice. I was like, what? He's like, there's a time to stop and smell the roses and it's not right now. Time to stop and smell the roses. And he was saying, this is a time to be aware of where we are when you're at home and you're laying in bed or you're eating, then you can daydream or you're writing a book, you know, but he's like, now pay attention now. And that one thing that I learned from him, I would say is responsible for more of the, all the money I've ever been able to generate with my businesses and in life, it's responsible for 60% of it. That one lesson right there, pay attention and Warren Buffett, second or third richest man in the world, he says, put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket, watch the basket. And the basket is your life, it's your business, it's your career, it's your friendships, watch it. You know how many people are just like, life will work out on its own. No, there's a universal law. You remember this from physics, you had thermal law, thermal dynamics, all this entropy, that means over time, if you have a house and you don't maintain it and you don't paint it and you don't fix the roof, if you come back in 20 years, it's worse, not better. There's never a house in history that's been standing there, someone abandoned it and came back 20 years and like, you're not going to believe this. There's a deck on here, new cabinets, no new furniture, no entropy means that you have to inject energy, your own energy, your own energy to improve things and so when you're not situationally aware, you're not conscientious, you're not organized, you're not diligent, you're not a perfectionist, you're not somebody who is prudent, you're not industrious, all these things. Guess what? Your life gets worse and worse and worse and worse and then you can't figure out why your happiness is declining, your income is static, you're stuck in the same dead end that I can tell you why. Joe Salas had told it to me at 19, you're not watching the basket, you're not paying attention, that's 99% of the world. Another way of saying this is what Sam Chubb, I wouldn't live with the Amish, who are also very situationally aware, they're connected to the land, they pay attention to what they're doing and Sam Chubb told me, there's three types of people in the world. One, makes things happen. The second, watches things happen. The third, wonders what happened. And he said that kind of with a twinkle in his eye and a little joke, and I realized that's the entire world, the third one. It's OK to not always make things happen. Sometimes you've got to watch other people teach you. But that third one should never happen to you, never wonder what happened. And that I had never get a ticket and be like, oh, where am I flying?  It has the letters right in there, pay attention to detail, then you figure it out. It's literally a six year old lesson that almost every adult in the modern world has to be taught because the school system and how people are raised without any community without it. Most people are raised with parents and if they have parents, the parents are just guardians. They're not actually equipping their kids with the mental training that you need to make it and thrive in life. I repeat that most people are raided by wolves. That's what I always say. It's like wolves, you know, like if you were left mowgli, you're left in the jungle and you have like these wolves, they protect you from predators, drugs. Like most parents, they keep their kids from, you know, doing drugs and they keep their kids going to school. They keep their kids not just eating Cheetos all day, like basics. But that's what a guardian does. You might as well be at a orphanage for that. That's what they do at an orphanage where they don't even care about you. Parents in an ideal world, and I'm not saying I had this because my dad was in prison when I was born. I had to go out and find a surrogate father. Guys like Joel Soutt, mentors, people like Sam Chubb and they're the ones, but you have to go see them out because they ain't going to see you.  Hell, no. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. And when the student's not ready, you ever heard that saying when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Everybody loves that saying, but what's the what's the reverse, the inverse, the opposite? When the student's not ready, the teacher will disappear. Remember that? That's the negative side, but true. The teachers leave when the student's not ready. So you better make yourself ready for this. What I'm talking about now, be conscientious. Be that person that's reliable. And I'm not doing it in some cheesy way. Like, give your best. I'm going to forget cliche. I'm talking about you want to make 10 million bucks? Never met somebody ever, not once. Who doesn't have attention to detail? So let me tell you this second story about Joel Soutt.  I've always loved cars. Since my mom said I used to sneak in the garage when I was under three years old and I tried to take a key and put it in the scratch the cars. I'd get in trouble. I was trying to put it in. I wanted to drive. Well, I've always liked cars. So now I got a little more money than I did when I was three years old. So I collect cars and I had this Lamborghini, the black one, the smaller one, I have two. I got two Lamborghinis now and I'm in the city. You would think city people know a lot about fancy cars, right? Cause Hollywood. So I had that Lamborghini for like a year. Joel Salatin comes to speak at a conference I have. He flies from a little small town in Virginia to a big city Los Angeles. I pick them up at the airport. First thing he does, I picked them up. I happened to have the Lamborghini. I wasn't even trying to pick them up in it, but I was like, I don't know, picked up from service shop or something. He walks up to it and he goes, this is an interesting car. And he starts noticing 10 things about that car. He's like, hmm, those are probably like 24 inch, the wheel width. Oh wait, I see how they put that, the way that I forget, I can't even remember what it was. He noticed, he said basically it's an engine on axles, on just a frame. And that's why it's so fast. And he talked about it for 10 minutes. And I thought, oh, I got all these people that watch my videos of Lamborghinis, all these kids that are like, we know a lot about cars. Joel, simple farmer, observed more things about that car. To this day, not one person has ever said, and Joel's not even really a car guy. He's just observant. That's situational awareness. Another example, when Mark Cuban was over at my house, some of you, a couple of million of you have seen that video. Well, he was at my house for a long time, but I only recorded, I only posted on YouTube like 20 minutes of it. But the most situationally aware person never walked at my house, where I live, where I have my knowledge society, headquarters of my business, and Beverly Hills was Mark Cuban. The dude walked in, he noticed so much stuff. It's hilarious to this day. Now, this is a billionaire, the guy from Shark Tank, the owner of Dallas. He walked through, he's like, why does this, why are your doorknobs work like that? I forget what it was exactly, but he meant you, like seven things he noticed. To this day, I just had 350 entrepreneurs at my house. They want to be entrepreneurs. Not one person noticed any of the stuff that a billionaire did. You make money when you're conscious. The dude pays attention. That's why he made, what's he worth? Two, three billion dollars. How'd you like to have $3,000 million in your bank account? I don't know if he's all cash, but that's what his net worth is. It's a lot of money. And he earned it by doing stuff that most people won't do. And we live in a world, it drives me crazy. A lot of you seeing my Instagram and Snapchat now, I'm on my, I got a couple different ranches, farms. Why am I there? Because I got to get away from it because it's like poison.  This modern world, just like Sam Chup the Amish God told me, three types of people, people who make things happen, people who watch things happen, people who wonder what happened. If at any point in your life, you're wondering your life, I'll give you an example. I wonder why Donald Trump is president. Figure it out. Figure out the psychology.   I'm like, why do I want to listen to your opinion about a complex entity like running the United States?  Why don't you go try to figure out why things are like they are.  Figure things out. Joel Southen walked by the Lamborghini was trying to figure out why the car said it could go 220 miles an hour.  And he noticed very specific things. Like I said, I own it and I still don't know it to this day. And he's not a Lamborghini guy. He has a $1,000 truck he drives around. You guys saw his truck, the ugliest truck in America, but he don't care. Because he's not a perfectionist about his trucks.  They don't care about nothing else. Let your hair get long. Sometimes my hair is too long.  Well, that's not the thing to be a perfectionist about.   People are taking 63 pictures to get one that they like. That's what you wanna be a perfectionist about in life.  My social life, my romantic life was in shambles, but my health was in shambles. But you know what I was great at? I always kept my hair good. Oh my God. Prudence, you don't have the brain power to fathom what I'm saying. That's the world we live in right now.  It's unfair. Stop complaining and why don't you figure out why do the rich get richer? People say it's not a good, I'm not even saying it's a good thing that the rich get richer, but I'm curious. Stop trying to judge everything. Stop trying to go, well, Donald Trump is a horrible president or Donald Trump is the best president. Try to understand the psychology, how to get elected. Why did Hillary Clinton lose? What did she do incorrectly that he did correctly? Whether you were Republican or Democrat, be curious about life, figure everything out.  I meet people who are perfectionists. They're like, Ty, the reason I only read one book a month is because if the book is long, I can't move on to another book until I read every page. Why? That's bad prudence. When the book's crappy, I throw them literally in the trash. Or if there's only one good chapter in that book, I read the one good chapter. That's not the perfectionism you want. That's not the perfectionism you want is on important things you double, triple, quadruple check. Not, I know people that, I watch them read books. They read the same sentence three times. Stop that. Learn how to read the first time you catch the mean.   Don't wonder what happened. If somebody asks you what happened in World War I, you should be able to give a decent answer. And you might go, well, why does history matter? What matters is that you're observant. World War I went that long ago. You shouldn't understand the basics of World War I, World War II, Vietnam War. You should understand what happened in Iraq, what happened in Syria. You should know the basics. I was on a date once with a girl in Santa Monica. I was like, well, tomorrow I gotta fly to Miami. This is an American girl, by the way. And she goes, Miami, where's that? And I was like, this is a grown adult woman. I'm like, what do you mean? She's like, I think I've heard of that. Is that in Northern California? I'm like, what are the odds? Would you invest your money in that person? No, always think this way when you're trying to figure out the characteristics you have to develop. This is mental toughness. This is mental.  That's not a mental state that makes you more successful.  I don't know, I've been trying to tell people that for years, and it's like, it doesn't compute. You have two schools of people in the world. They're either hyper-pessimists, like, oh, the world is so bad, and the rich come up there from the poor, and Donald Trump's president and everything's bad. So they're like that, or they're like hyper-optimists like, Ty, I will be a billionaire.  I've spoken it into existence. It will happen.  No, you won't.  You'll get a personal trainer. You'll get a mentor. You'll get social circle right, where you're around people that go to the gym so that there's social proof and social pressure on you, and then you'll get shaped. It's not a pessimist.  Now forget that. Stupid, and we live in a world that reinforces stupidity, and then people can't figure out why they don't like their life. You know, depression is functional most of the time. Not always. Dr. David Busthaw, he's like, there's multiple reasons why you want people to be depressed sometimes.  You would you want to turn your nerves off? So I asked my grandpa, it was when I was five years old, he died a little bit after that. He was a scientist, let's say grandpa. Why do we get hurt? And he said, you have nerves all throughout your body and it connects to your brain and it makes this almost like an electric shock. It's not an electric shock, but it's equivalent. And I was like, well, why don't we just turn them off? Then we could be happy. And he goes, no, that's what leprosy does. There's a disease. When I was in India, I went to a leper colony. They lose the nerves. And guess what happens when you lose nerves? You start bumping into things. You start putting your hand on a fire. That's why most of them lose part. Like in India, there's people with no nose, no fingers is a common thing. Leprosy is more complex than this, but that's one of the things that happens. So we live in a world where people are trying to buy, don't be depressed, don't have regrets. You hear that, no regrets. What do you mean, no regrets? No regrets? Then how do you learn anything?   Regrets are the mind's emotional nerves. Now there are people that are hormonally or chemically imbalanced a percentage, but it's not most depressed people.  Switch your job, switch your career, switch your social circle. Move, take action, stop procrastinating. And most people just ignore it, but the brain keeps sending the signal. And I'm not a psychologist, but I'm telling you that Dr. David Busch is an evolutionary psychologist, Harvard professor, now University of Austin, who wrote the textbooks. And I got that word straight from him. He knows what he's talking about. I'm regurgitating what he said. So don't try to argue with me on this. I always get people arguing, go, oh, most depression is because it's not their fault. Well, I mean, nothing's our fault. I didn't ask to be born. My mom had me. So I guess I could just say everything. I'm like, well, it may not be your fault. It may be someone else's fault. Who did something wrong to you? I get it.  And whoever caused the problem, they definitely aren't gonna fix it. So you could blame, people blame the US economy. Oh, the government's making my life worse. I had a relative like this. It was a little lazy. He didn't have a job. He was broke.  He goes, I can't. The government is, he is a conspiracy theorist. So I'm like, well, okay, let's say you're right. Let's say it is the government that's holding you back. Yep.  So I go, so as far as I can tell, are you waiting for the government to fix it? Cause you just said, they're the problem. That's like going to a doctor. They screw up the surgery.  And I'm like, what are you gonna do about it?  Okay, what are you gonna do about it? Oh, I'm gonna go back to the same surgeon. I'm waiting for that surgeon to fix it.  Go back to a different person who I wouldn't go back to the same doctor. There's doctors that don't pay attention. They chop people's wrong foot off in surgery or, you know, remove the wrong organ. I wouldn't go back to that person. So if you blame in the government for your financial problems or your basic blaming education system, which by the way is to blame, you can't expect it to fix it.  And sometimes it works and a lot of times it doesn't. So I'm like, why would you go back to the same? Albert Einstein said, you can't solve a problem with the same mentality that created the problem. Einstein, the dude was smart. Listen to him. Forget what I'm saying. I'm not as smart as him. You can't solve. So if the education system caused your problem, you have to go outside of it to fix it. If that's why I went to mentors instead of college, because I had already gone to high school and I realized I wasn't equipped with all the life skills and the mental skills and the financial training and all those things that I needed to make it in life. I didn't learn about habits. How come the school doesn't teach about habits? All your life basically hinges on habits. There's a great book on this called The Power of Habit. And it's a scientific book, but I can summarize it for you. Basically, the quality of life is based on your habits. Your brain is created or adapted to quickly fall into habits for a good reason. There was a guy, I think it was in the 1800s. He had an accident. He hit his head real hard and he destroyed the part of his brain that could form habits, good or bad. And he couldn't form a habit. And he had the worst life because every day he would go put his shoes on, for example, look down at his shoes and go, well, do I do the right one or the left one? And he had to spend two minutes thinking about it. Normal people who don't have brain damage, we create a habit. You probably don't realize it, but you have a habit probably of how you put your shoes on. Maybe you put your right and that's a time saver for your brain, an energy saver. It saves glucose. Glucose is the sugar in your brain. Your body wants to conserve it. So we're built, we're adapted to quickly fall into habits.  That's why two people can go through the same bad life and one thrives and one fails because of the habits that they form. And so everything I've talked about today, like to be aware, that's a habit. Joel Salatin is not just aware when there's a Lamborghini. He's aware when there's a huge post about the fall down.  Yes, smell the roses till you get smashed. No, smell the roses when it's time to smell the roses and focus on now when it's time to be in the now. And the only people that kind of talk about this are like Eckhart Tolle books like The Power of Now where I meet people going, oh, I meditate to stay in. That's not what it means, by the way. Situational awareness. I know more weird people that meditate. Now, I do think meditation is good, but it ain't gonna fix as much as people think. It helps some people. Dolph Lundgren, the guy who was in Rocky Four and Expendables, you know, the famous actor. I'm friends with him and he told me that meditation has helped him a lot, but it'll only take you so far. And doing yoga only can take you so far. Trust me, no one thing. That's like saying you chop, your arm is cut and all you need is one band aid. You might need a lot of stitches. Meditation might be one stitch. Yoga might be one stitch. There's a lot of stitches to fix problems, you know? I cut my eye once playing basketball. A guy slammed into me. I took a charge and I forget, it's in my eyebrow. My hair's still gonna grow back and part of my eyebrow, I got like 25 stitches. The doctor wasn't like one stitch. It's a big cut. You need a lot. So people trying to, again, people aren't aware. They go, well, I meditate with Headspace app and I'm gonna solve all my crazy problems. No, you're not. That's one stitch. It's a good one, but it ain't enough. You gotta do 20 things to fix these problems. So, practical takeaways. Be curious about everything. For example, here's a test. I'm gonna test you right now, listen into this.  So I'm gonna ask you this question. What does F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9 do? What do those all do?  No, I shouldn't say zero. I'll be a realist. One per 10,000. So let me get this straight. You look at something, but you never take the time to be curious enough and go, why did they put the F1, F2 there? Why did they put it there? I've done this at conferences where there's hundreds or thousands of people. I see people googling it to try to look smart, but nobody knows the answer right away. What's F5 do? What's F6 do?  They don't know how to switch tabs. They don't know how to close. So the practical thing, pay attention, be curious, be a perfectionist when it's called for and be smart with decisions and know when it's not called for. Not good off here, it's it. That's all. 1.6 miles. Pay attention to now.  Entropy baby, law of the universe.  Don't cross the laws of the universe ever. If you want to set up a guarantee for a bad life, be like mom, law of gravity doesn't apply to me. When I was a teenager, this girl I know at my church was dating this wack job guy. And the dude was trying to show off to the girl I know, I won't say her name in case she's listening. So he climbed up a telephone pole to show off. He was a little drunk, I think, and went to hang out on the wire. No one even asked me what this was in this joker's head. They can want to show you could like hang or I don't know what he was doing. You want to know another thing that's reminded me this truck, point of this truck.  It's, I'm gonna prove this to you. Driving shows you what people's mental state is at. So next time you're on the freeway and somebody is getting onto the highway, watch how people struggle. There's people that will come and go the same speed as you and be like, hey, get over. Well, you're not supposed to change. They're supposed to change. Go faster or go slower. It's crazy how a few people know that.  This dude here almost crashed into that car because he couldn't press the gas or press the brake. No, show his face, we'll blur that out. I don't want to embarrass the guy. But you think I'd invest money in that guy if I saw him driving like that? Hell no. I would like this dude doesn't have common sense. He's not ready. He might be ready. People change sometimes. People improve, but a lot of time people get worse. Entropy, entropy, and he doesn't inject mass. Watch, watch this car. Same thing, this is Joker gonna go the same speed. So I have to get over in another lane. Bro, if you have a slow car, press the brakes. If I'm going 55, go 35. Like I said, the more I learn about people, the more I like my dogs, the more I learn about people, the more I want to go back to my farm. That's the only thing I hate. I like the city, some things, but dude, you want a LA, 12 million people. What percentage of those people have their heads screwed on straight? What percentage of those people were trained in life? You gotta be trained. There's never been a Navy SEAL who was good Navy SEAL without being trained. There's never been a martial artist that wasn't trained. There's never been a UFC fighter. There's never been a business person that wasn't trained by somebody, by someone else, by the way. All you self-sufficient narcissists who are like, I learned through trial and error, just go out and do it. I thank you for your service because you're easy to beat in business. I don't need to read, I've learned on my own. Bad prudence, you gotta know brain power. You gotta know brain power. I know a lot of smart PhDs that have no common sense. You learn everything from other people. That's how you learn English, that's how you learn manners, that's how you learn how to walk. You observe others and you ask some questions and you learn by osmosis. Driving, boy, driving tells you everything. Go drive in LA. Okay. Everything's a microcosm. Everything's small is like a microcosm of the big. If you wanna understand why Donald Trump's president meet a hundred Americans in states where he won. You wanna understand Hillary Clinton? Go to a microcosm, a small version of her voter base. Go to us, Democratic state, meet 10 people who you knew would vote for her. Then you'll start to understand, oh, they're this kind of person, they have this kind of occupation, they have this kind of worldview, they have this perspective, they see government in this way. Observe everything, understand that barn right there. That's a hit brief barn. Why did they build hit brief barns? Why? You know, most people, this is an interesting thing. I'm not that religious, but there's a lot of wise things in religious books, scriptures, you know, sacred documents. And one of the things that I remember is Jesus Christ said, in order to get eternal life, in order to get the kingdom, you have to be born again. And then somebody asked him, but Jesus, how can a person be born again? Is he gonna go back into his own mother's womb and be reborn and see the guy didn't get what, see, that was a guy that was wondering what happened. He don't understand what Jesus was saying. And again, I'm not a spiritual teacher or anything, but I get it, it took me a long time and then it clicked one day, that's it. He was saying to get what you want. Now, he was talking about whatever heaven or the kingdom, but think of it this way, to get this prize that you want. And everybody has a different goals. To get the goal, you have to be born again. Now, you have to be like childlike. What does it mean to be childlike? What does a little three-year-old ask you over and over? Why? And most parents suppress that in their kids. They're like, don't ask so much why. Don't say that to your kids. Encourage your kids to say why. Because the person who says why at the right time, there is a wrong time to do it. Like when somebody's on an airplane, you don't turn to people next to you and go, why is this plane in the air? Why am I sitting? But notice everything. You notice that this road right here, it's crowned in the middle. You know what's crowned in the middle? Because it rains a lot here on the East Coast and the water that way runs off. If you don't crown it in the middle, it'll pool in the middle and you'll get puddles. Why? Sometimes I've asked myself, why is that grassy median right there? That looks like it's about 30-ish feet, maybe 25 feet. Why'd they pick 25? And in some places it's only two. Pine trees right there in front of me. Why are pine trees not lose their leaves in the winter? And regular trees do. I can name every tree in there. People drive by trees, ask what they are. It's because I went through a point in life. I was like, I'm gonna find out what every tree is. There's a Willows trees right there. I can also name almost all those grasses. Those are sedges right there, those ones sticking up. That's bullfistle right there. There's fescue and orchard grass and plantain and burdock and that's a sumac tree. Pay attention and doesn't have to be just about nature. That's how you make money. That's how you also impress people. People always ask me, how do you get a mentor?  When the student is ready, the teacher will appear and when the student's not ready, the teacher will disappear.  I'm talking about if you drive by the same thing every day of your life and you never ask a question, why? That's a locust tree.  People should know what a legume is.  Why are they important? They fix nitrogen from the air. Understand, pretty much, don't wonder what's going on in your life. Like I was telling earlier, why did the rich get richer? Because most people look at that at like some conspiracy theory. No, 2,000 year old principal. Jesus Christ said this 2,000 years ago. He said, the person who has more will be given to them and the person who doesn't have even what they don't have will be taken away from them. Now, I'm not saying that's good or fair. Forget good or fair, it's the way it is, dammit. Is it fair that a lion eats a sick antelope and the antelope doesn't get to go to the hospital?  That doesn't seem fair to me, but we don't live in a world that's fair. We live in a world that has a natural progression and a natural order. I'm not saying you shouldn't help the poor. I think you should. I'm not saying the rich should just get rich and 10 people should all know everything in the world and everyone else should be serfs. No, but I also know this.   Come on, man.  No, no, they're gonna vote themselves better taxes and there's some countries that pull it off socialist countries, Sweden, Norway, Europe, but if you're in Europe, be like, wait a second, we're not like America and everything isn't perfect. So maybe the problem, you maybe socialism doesn't fix everything. I mean people in Sweden or whatever and people are just gun control, controversial topic. Quit picking sides and really research it with an open mind. I don't even, I mean what, I'm not gonna say. I don't wanna influence, I have my opinion, but try to research it. I'll just pick a side. That's a mental laziness habit. Low diligence levels, meaning you don't, low diligence going back to conscientious means you won't look into things multiple steps. So if things not working for you, you'll try once, but you won't try, try again. You know, if you can't figure out why the rich are getting richer, figure it out. If you're trying to figure out gun control, don't read one article, read books by both sides, call up the NRA, be like, yo, this seems crazy, am I missing something?   God, people, I had somebody the other day, I won't say who, go, well, it's my opinion, you should respect that, why? You think opinions should be all respected? Should I respect the 9-11 bomber's opinion that they should blow themselves up? Hell no, should I respect that, why? Opinions mean nothing, you should respect what's true, and that's all that matters. And the rest is just noise and freaking static that ruins everything. No, no, no. Stop thinking your opinions are valid, earn the right to have an opinion. Charlie Munger says, you should not allow yourself to have any opinion that you can't argue the other side better than the other side can even argue for themselves. So you shouldn't be able to be anti-gun control in his opinion. I mean pro-gun control, unless you can argue the NRA side better than the NRA. You want to solve all world problems, all strife, all war, all dissension, all divorce? What Charlie Munger said, you know why most people get divorced because they can't see the other person's side of the story, because they're so narcissistic and so into their worldview that they can't fathom that someone else has one. You know why there's war? Because North Korea and South Korea can't sit down and be like, yo, let's work this out, maybe they will now. But all war in Germany, World War I, Hungary, they couldn't work it out with Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia. They just bought to core again and it created Adolf Hitler and then World War II. People couldn't work it out because everybody, Adolf Hitler, talk about a dude that couldn't see other people's side of the story. His best generals, Rommel, he had him killed at one point because Rommel didn't agree. He gave him honorable death. They came to his house, the SS, and they gave him poison.  And Rommel, I think he took cyanide. He killed his best general because Adolf Hitler couldn't fathom that other people's opinions might be right, but he lost the damn war.  The winter, we have to go in earlier. He didn't go into like May and Russia gets cold fast. Napoleon made the same mistake, but the other mistake that Adolf Hitler made, well, a big one, he could have invaded England early when he probably could have conquered England, which means Germany probably would have won World War II. All his generals, it's a true story. All his generals were begging him. We're here, we can see England. There's no one here to oppose us. Adolf Hitler is sitting back in Berlin, Germany. He's like, no, I don't think it's, I think it's a trap. They're like, it's not a trap, but the dude couldn't listen.  But I think he caused the death and displacement in casualties of 250 million people. My grandma included, was still alive. My grandma talks about World War II every single day. It affected her that much. And she escaped on a boat, the ditch. She was on a boat to America the day that Germany invaded Poland. But a lot of people in this world have that same cognitive bias that Adolf Hitler had. You just can't look into things. Like Adolf Hitler or any general should ask his other generals, hmm, that seems opposite than I'm thinking, but what makes you say that? Those are magic words, you write that sentence down.  But if they're a smart person and they have an opposite belief of you, what you should do is go, hmm, that sounds opposite of what I was thinking. What do you know that I don't know? What do you know that I don't know? Those are the magic words of life, man.  Like I swear, you go ask 10 people that, you're gonna do make more money this month, this week maybe. You ask 10 people who know how to make money. Yo, what do you know that I don't know? They'll start telling you stuff. They'll start revealing their inner secrets that they hardly told anybody. Ask, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find. Knock and the door will open up.  I guess is what I'm trying to say in this whole video.   I love books, but that's not to determine it. It's not the driving factor. The driving factor is your mentality, your mindset, your worldview determines everything. That's why two people can be born into poverty and one rises out and one doesn't. That's why, you know, I read a book once that blew my mind and it was Helen Keller's book. Let me just explain this lady's story if you forgot. Helen Keller. Now I know I wasn't born into a great situation. My dad was in prison. My mom's a single mom. We're in kind of a rough part of Los Angeles, Long Beach. Helen Keller is born. She can't hear. She can't see. She can't speak. Okay. Three big things here, see, speak. She born basically, she got a, when she was 18 months, she had a fever like meningitis or something. That's what caused her. She's in somehow, I can't remember, unfortunately, this full story, but I think she was somehow abandoned by her parents or left to like caretakers. This is before there was Braille. This is before that people cared about handicap people. Now you have a lot of support for handicap. We're talking, you know, 1800s. They thought that it was like afflicted. They're gonna like leave her. So she goes, she struggles, obviously. She can't communicate. She's in darkness. She can touch things. That's it. This lady writes more books than you or I have written. Just let that sit good for a second. She writes more books than you or I have written combined. I promise you, I think she wrote, I don't know, at least three books. She can't see, hear or speak. She created her own language called Braille. And then I meet people who are like, Taw, you don't even know what I've gone through. I'm like, bitch, have you been through what Helen Keller went through? No, okay, well she rose up out of it.  That's what I feel like saying. I don't always say that. And into myself, I say that too. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself.  Helen Keller wrote three books that couldn't see. What's your excuse? What is your excuse? Just ask yourself, in light of those new circumstances, what are you complaining about? What's wrong? Your mommy didn't tuck you in enough. The government didn't send you a big enough check of other people's money that earned it and they're not sending it to you. Oh, oh my God, tragedy. Forget Helen Keller.  Let me show you true suffering, this person here. And some people, I'm not downplaying trauma. I've had trauma in life. I've had BS happen to me in childhood and growing up and you probably had it. I'm not downplaying that, but I'm a realist. It ain't as bad as Helen Keller. Would you trade with her and be like, all right, no trauma, but no eyesight, no vocal cords or I don't know if she had vocal cords or something went wrong and no hearing. Would you trade? No, she had the, that's about as much trauma as you get. People, it's funny too, people complain how unfair the world is and that the rich are getting richer. They never think that they're actually rich compared to the 40 million kids in India. Where are you giving your money? Who you get? Did you send a check to Indian kids? No, but you're complaining about how unfair it is for you. If you make 30 grand, there's a lot of people in India who make $14 a month. So $14 a month. They make roughly 250, 250 a year, okay, 250 a year. So if you really cared about how unfair the rich and the poor is, you're rich. If you have an iPhone or a laptop and you're watching this, you're rich. So before you complain about the rich, why don't you do a comparative analysis and start sending checks to AIDS orphans in South Africa or in the Southern part of Africa.  And they're born, you know, you got countries where you have 30 to 50% HIV rate. I don't see all these people. So I said, stop complaining, do something. Stop complaining. I meet all these people that are like environmentalists. I don't see you on a farm, really? You really care about the environment?  That'll take hard work though. That's a lot harder than yabbing your mouth.   Then I'll respect you. What do I have to respect you just because you have an opinion? I'm not saying what's right or wrong. I'm just saying, you're vegan, you're an environmentalist. I don't see you out there.  How many vegans in LA that I gotta be around and no offense to vegans? I know great vegans and I know annoying ones, but I know great meat eaters and I know annoying ones too. But I'm just saying, if you have a heavy stance on something, back it up.  Do you have any situational awareness? If you really care about the environment, driving even a Prius ain't good for the environment either. You think the solution to improving the land is everyone should just drive Priuses around. Still burning gas. Ride a bicycle then. That makes more sense. Ride a bike. Ride a bike everywhere. Then I'll respect that environmentalist. I met a guy once. His name was Eben Haas. He came and visited the Amish. He did not believe that the system was corrupt, that oil was being done by large companies exploiting countries for oil. So he refused to get in any car, any vehicle, any motor transportation that had gas. He walked from Massachusetts to Virginia to meet where we were. I respect that guy. He has a strong opinion, but he backs it up with action. He doesn't just babble and sign online petitions. Oh my God, the work and the struggle of all those people who sign online petitions. I'm not saying you shouldn't sign an online petition. I'm just saying, you think you're gonna solve the world problem by online petitions? Things that are easy don't change the world. Muhammad Gandhi wanted to end British colonialism in India in the 19, I think it was the 40s when he was assassinated, late 30s, early 40s. And you know what he did? He said, none of us buy any clothing from England. But they said, but there are no clothes to buy. And he said, then make your own. And he started showing people how to make their own clothes. See, he put action. All great people that have changed the world put action. They didn't complain that Martin Luther King, Jr. didn't go the world's unfair on black. It's unfair. He went out and organized and he thought it through how to do it in an effective way. Malcolm X too. And whether you agree with everything they did or not, Gandhi, whatever, at least you can respect them. You know, it takes a lot of guts to do what those people did, fight the system. They didn't sign online petitions that someone started or forward an email chain. What'd you do for the cost? I went to my laptop and I pressed my mouse here and I pressed forward and I forwarded it to 10 friends. I mean, that's kind of good. And I'm not saying that it's not good to spread messages, but it's not the core solution. It's a band-aid. It's not gonna solve the main problem. You're gonna have to do something for real. Don't complain about your hate your job, just quit it. That's what you do. Just quit. And people go, I can't, I might go broke. Well, then go broke for a little while, take the pain and then go, I'll never get in that situation again. Get depressed, it's good. You should be depressed every once in a while. In fact, I read a book, I forget the name of this.  I think it's on my website. I'll try to remember it. But he said you should be sad and depressed about 25% of your life, 15 to 25. Because if you're depressed and sad less than that, that means you're not learning from your life lessons. And if you're depressed more than that. So that means like, you know, one day a week shouldn't be the greatest day of the week, but it should be a learning day. Maybe you're under stress because you're in a group where you're the dumbest person that's stressful. Once a week, be in a room where you're the dumbest person in the room. Because it's the only way to learn. You have to be dumber than the people around you. That's how you get smarter.  Like, yo, I'm fat, I'm out of shape. Gets, and if you're in great shape, find somebody that embarrasses you. You wanna make a million dollars? Find somebody who would be embarrassed to make a million dollars in a year and spend time around them and then you'll learn. Law of 33%. It's a video I did, a TEDx talk that I did a couple of years ago. All everything that I'm telling you in this, you're not gonna learn in school, but it's so common sense that it's impossible to argue with. And I'm not saying because I said it, I'm taking a lot of these principles I've learned from my mentors. So if you argue with me, you're arguing with a lot of smart people. You're not just arguing with me. And I'm not saying I'm always right, but I'm saying so far in my life, I look back at the core principles I learned from people like Joel Salatin, Alan Nation, you know, or situationally from guys like Mark Cuban, I can't think of a time that those core principles were ever remotely wrong. And I can think of thousands of instances when they're right. So stop fighting this kind of stuff. Just go, yep, that makes sense. I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna simplify, I'm gonna start paying attention. How far apart do they put the I-beams on that bridge? It's a great way, is literally look at everything.   Next time you're on a webpage, click every button. You go to Amazon. Today I was buying something on Amazon. I went to my account and I just started clicking through all of them because I was kind of like, I wonder what all these do. I just wanted to know. That's what you gotta do. Just check everyone, every single one. I'm gonna get off here and grab some food.  Make a list, be organized. What do I think are the seven main reasons that they broke up with me? Oh, okay, I was too jealous. I was too controlling. I was too annoying. Okay, then buy a book on all those subjects. How to be less jealous. How to be less annoying. Ask 10 smart people who aren't annoying. Yo, I think I just got broken up with my ex because I was annoying. How can I be less annoying? And then do what they say. Literally do what they say. Do what they say. And then if it doesn't work, ask 10 smarter people or more common sense, strong people. Not just book smart.  What's the origin? I remember Googling it. It was interesting. It made my life more enriched. When I drive down the road, I understand it. Understand that Jeep right there. Who owns Jeep? How much revenue does that company make? Do you wanna make more money? Start figuring out company. How much does Jeep make? Who knows off the top of their head? No stuff, no stuff. Four by four. What's, why is four wheel drive better? Do you understand the physics of Google it? Here's the sad thing. Everything I'm asking you to do used to be hard to do because you just have to go down to the library, check out a book and find this out. Now it's on Google and nobody, it's amazing. Now there's Google and people know less than they did before Google. They really do. I think maybe it's just like you're like, oh, I don't need to know anything. I can just Google it.  If everything's on Google, you don't have enough in your subconscious.  You know, understand right there why in that flat area is the soil better than at the top of the hill? Why do locusts grow so much in Los Angeles? I mean, in Virginia here. Speed limit 55, it's actually interesting why they set the speed limit at 55. For every one mile an hour, you lower the speed limit. This many thousand people less die. So in the world, we basically make a compromise. We go, we'll set the speed limit to 55. Knowing that more people will get killed every year but we're more productive because we can get where we need to go. So it's interesting there's whole people who devote their life to transportation and going, should I set it to 55? And sometimes I'll set it to 65 and 70. Understand why it's that way. If you see a movie, go to box office mojo, find out what the budget is and how much revenue. Don't just be like, I'm in my fantasy. Figure out the business behind it. That truck can come per due, per due. Why does this company right here control more food than almost any country company in America? Per due started in 1920. Google it, they have a freaking per due.com.  You too busy to make money? This is how you make money. When I meet people that don't know stuff too much that they're like a deer in headlights and they're like, oh, well, I know they have no chance to get what they want. Which is a sad thing. It's not like I take it happiness. I'm like, damn, I feel bad for this person. It's on the side. Easy to figure out.  How much weight can that fosters truck roll? I just had two trucks bring me compost. Each of them held, I think they held 79,000 pounds when you counted the truck. 80,000, you know why 79,000 pounds?  I think 40 or 45 tons is the most that a truck does. This is all information that you could hold in my brain. I'm smart, but you could hold the information too. You're probably smarter than you think. You just got dumbed down by the system. It's a walnut tree. Why do walnuts grow here and not pecans? Frank was asking that. Peacons in Virginia, the part of Virginia that's up in the mountains. It doesn't have enough BTUs. Why are BTUs important? They're heat units and they determine you're growing. You need a minimal amount of BTUs. That's why you can't grow certain things here, like oranges, that's why corn grows better when it has a lot of moisture and a lot of heat. They have the big leaf. You shouldn't understand. By the way, start with biology because biology is the fundamental of life. And I don't mean biology books, weird stuff. I mean like actually understand the common sense thing. Why is there kudzu on there? Where'd kudzu come from? And you know what's weird is if I had this conversation with 99% of planet Earth, it's like I'm speaking another language. People don't know what tear weight is. That's tear weight on there. Meaning, you know, you have gross weight and then of the truck and then what's on there. Understand as much as you can about the world and the next thing you know, the world will start making sense. And once the world starts making sense, then you can make sense of your life and you can fit the pieces of the puzzle together. So I'll end by saying this. Remember, life is a puzzle and the purpose of life is to put the puzzle pieces together. There is no other purpose on this planet Earth. I can't tell you what happens after we die, but I promise you this.   Just like Thoreau said, the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What's called resignation is confirmed desperation. Most people, or as Plato said, most people live in a dark cave and they never see reality. Open your eyes up and the next thing you know, you'll be happier, healthier, wealthier and you'll have better friendships and better love and better connections. You'll be fulfilled. You won't be as depressed. You won't be as overweight. You'll have more muscle. You'll have more money in your bank account. You'll have more freedom. You'll be traveling more. You'll be around better people. The people who screw you over will slowly disappear out of your life because they won't be able to keep up with you. And all that'll be left will be a life that's like gold.  All the rest of the not pure metals disappear. Put your life to the fire. Just try it for the next 67 days. That's the minimum habit forming timeframe according to modern science.  If this helped you out and you want a more in-depth version of this, go watch and join my 67 Steps Program. I launched it in 2014. Over 150,000 people have gone through it in the last few years. That's more than most universities. I've gotten so many testimonials. I kind of gave up saving them. But if I walk down the street in a city every day, somebody comes up to me a random string. Every day, if not more than one. That says that 67 Steps changed my life. I also launched a follow-up version. It's 67 videos like this, but more in-depth subject by subject. 67 things you need to know to get what you want out of life. The other thing I recently launched, you'll see this on my website, is the 12 Foundations.  If you've already been through the 67 Steps and you wanna go to the next level, go and click on the link, tylopez.com, my 12 Foundations Program. And it's a newer one. It's like my most up-to-date things, the 12 things that you are foundational to know to have the right mindset. 67 Steps, start there. And then if you've already, once you complete that, move on to the 12 Foundations. It's kind of like a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. And then I got some PhD level stuff, but you gotta go through those two first. And then I have other stuff. So tylopez.com, I hope this was helpful.
