0:00:00.000,0:00:04.890 I think so many people are keyboard[br]activists right everybody's good at 0:00:04.890,0:00:08.760 sending a tweet about how the world[br]should be and nobody's doing anything 0:00:08.760,0:00:15.269 about it and that just that is just very[br]much human nature we've gotten soft as a 0:00:15.269,0:00:19.710 culture yes you know I mean of course[br]we've gotten soft as a culture in the 0:00:19.710,0:00:25.140 u.s. because the US has had an[br]incredible two hundred year run right 0:00:25.140,0:00:29.310 like this is just what happens you know[br]so as a culture you know I can't speak 0:00:29.310,0:00:34.260 for you know people that live in the[br]Amazon River and I can't speak for you 0:00:34.260,0:00:40.680 know people that still live in Belarus[br]but the American culture is soft and 0:00:40.680,0:00:44.789 that's a great thing that means there's[br]been enormous amounts of prosperity but 0:00:44.789,0:00:48.030 let's not be naive[br]I mean people literally complain when 0:00:48.030,0:00:53.280 somebody gives them the wrong amount of[br]like extra cream in a Starbucks $6 0:00:53.280,0:00:55.640 coffee 0:00:58.579,0:01:00.640 you 0:01:04.540,0:01:10.810 my lack of interest in complaining is so[br]high and when I watch what people 0:01:10.810,0:01:14.290 complain about it breaks my heart[br]because they completely lack perspective 0:01:14.290,0:01:19.450 and i genuinely believe my happiness and[br]optimism comes from my perspective even 0:01:19.450,0:01:23.230 in political unrest times like right now[br]a lot of people very bent out of shape 0:01:23.230,0:01:28.300 but the reality is is that it just never[br]been better to be a human being it's 0:01:28.300,0:01:31.330 that's just the truth[br]that's just data that's that's reality 0:01:31.330,0:01:37.590 and yeah I mean it's just a very fun[br]time to be alive 0:01:42.900,0:01:47.490 and I think the way people look at the[br]world right now because it's such an 0:01:47.490,0:01:52.440 incredible time is actually the quickest[br]tell to who they are if you think it 0:01:52.440,0:01:57.480 sucks but it's bad[br]you have losing pessimistic DNA and if 0:01:57.480,0:02:01.350 you think it's awesome and phenomenal[br]you have optimistic winning DNA and I 0:02:01.350,0:02:07.890 believe that to be true and so that's[br]where we're at we're beating ourselves 0:02:07.890,0:02:14.730 up like everybody sucks that's something[br]right like we all have shortcomings and 0:02:14.730,0:02:19.110 we all have strengths and for me it's[br]like why don't we just audit that like 0:02:19.110,0:02:21.630 why don't we just look at it that way[br]and be like alright well I'm good at 0:02:21.630,0:02:25.650 this but I'm not gonna dad like and then[br]and then and then I only focus what I'm 0:02:25.650,0:02:30.090 good at right like I don't dwell that I[br]can't fix shit around the house I call 0:02:30.090,0:02:33.720 somebody to fix him like I'm not like[br]I'm not a man I don't give a fuck like 0:02:33.720,0:02:37.830 you know like like you know like I don't[br]I don't get it like we all like I also 0:02:37.830,0:02:41.520 think it's awesome that I'm so[br]emotionally stable and I'm the emotional 0:02:41.520,0:02:44.370 backbone of everybody is that what a[br]dude's supposed to do like like these 0:02:44.370,0:02:52.410 cliches these stereotypes they're so[br]silly I'm fully in love with myself but 0:02:52.410,0:02:55.830 I'm also fully in love with everybody[br]else too right it's not like like it 0:02:55.830,0:03:00.450 goes both ways like I tell people to buy[br]in to be that work for me it's cuz I buy 0:03:00.450,0:03:07.320 into them first like I don't need[br]anybody to gain trust with me I it's 0:03:07.320,0:03:14.070 they're like I believe that the human[br]race is so grossly underrated we are 0:03:14.070,0:03:19.500 good of course we have some bad there's[br]fucking 7 billion of us but like when 0:03:19.500,0:03:23.130 you look at our net score it's bonkers[br]shit like you know what you damage we 0:03:23.130,0:03:28.080 can be doing to each other on a hourly[br]basis and we don't like we're still here 0:03:28.080,0:03:32.850 like we won were the Alpha being and[br]we've figured out how to stay together 0:03:32.850,0:03:37.739 this is insane when you think about it[br]and yet everybody wants to dwell on like 0:03:37.739,0:03:40.910 somebody said something mean 0:03:43.150,0:03:47.690 if you want to be an anomaly you have to[br]act like one like people want all these 0:03:47.690,0:03:50.810 special things to happen but then[br]they're acting like everybody else and 0:03:50.810,0:03:56.660 that gets into this Saturdays on in your[br]20s like or or just like taking risks or 0:03:56.660,0:04:01.099 things of that nature like there's[br]anything they take away it's like look 0:04:01.099,0:04:05.330 like you're gonna only be so pretty[br]you're only gonna be so smart like you 0:04:05.330,0:04:08.269 like there's there's things that are[br]gonna be natural and there's things that 0:04:08.269,0:04:12.650 you can actually control I do believe[br]and I don't know if I'm right or wrong I 0:04:12.650,0:04:18.019 don't but I do believe that work ethic[br]is a taught behavior it's something you 0:04:18.019,0:04:25.729 do have more control over and you know[br]what really sealed a deal for me getting 0:04:25.729,0:04:31.910 healthier I was 38 years old and didn't[br]come natural to me like it didn't come 0:04:31.910,0:04:36.620 natural to me at all I hate the gym I[br]hate him out I hate it I don't like it I 0:04:36.620,0:04:41.510 don't want to do it but I but I knew it[br]was important and somewhere around 0:04:41.510,0:04:45.560 midway through being 38 years old I got[br]serious I figured out my system I made 0:04:45.560,0:04:50.660 the financial commitment and I've won[br]right and I'll never lose again because 0:04:50.660,0:04:54.860 the system was I needed to be[br]accountable to another human being so it 0:04:54.860,0:04:58.520 was about Mike and now Jordan and[br]whoever else is my trainer I'm doing it 0:04:58.520,0:05:06.110 almost weirdly more to not let them down[br]I feel like there's a shift that can 0:05:06.110,0:05:11.750 make people work harder the big one that[br]I push is you're gonna die like like if 0:05:11.750,0:05:15.380 your complaint like to me life is broken[br]down into complaining and not so if 0:05:15.380,0:05:19.520 you're not complaining well then I've[br]never I have no advice for you I'm 0:05:19.520,0:05:26.270 pumped like you did it like like I've[br]friends who make $42,000 a year work 0:05:26.270,0:05:30.789 9:00 to 4:00[br]with an hour to have lunch and 45 0:05:30.789,0:05:34.990 minutes of YouTube and ten minutes of[br]bullshitting and an hour of complete 0:05:34.990,0:05:38.020 waste of time in a meeting so the kind[br]of working like 6:00 you know hours a 0:05:38.020,0:05:43.910 week right[br]but they're pumped and-and-and they text 0:05:43.910,0:05:47.000 me these are highschool friends and[br]they'll text me like how happy they are 0:05:47.000,0:05:51.200 to be the coach of their kids baseball[br]team and you know like that's amazing 0:05:51.200,0:05:57.080 like that that seems very obvious to me[br]like that's like that's right you know 0:05:57.080,0:06:01.880 which is super weird I'm actually nearly[br]any yes you know like I it sounds cool 0:06:01.880,0:06:05.780 like in theory right grass is always[br]greener right like far less pressure you 0:06:05.780,0:06:08.450 know like like all that time with my[br]kids 0:06:08.450,0:06:11.120 booth that would be cool like there's[br]just like all these things that I can 0:06:11.120,0:06:14.510 justify so to me but I have friends who[br]have a hundred million dollars in the 0:06:14.510,0:06:19.580 bank because of Facebook's IPO who[br]complain who are still hungry who want 0:06:19.580,0:06:22.070 to do even more[br]who will complain to me because they 0:06:22.070,0:06:25.460 know I work a lot about no work-life[br]balance and they don't get to spend 0:06:25.460,0:06:28.630 enough time with their family and I'm[br]like you have a hundred million dollars 0:06:28.630,0:06:34.820 like you could stay home like you're in[br]control like you don't complain about it 0:06:34.820,0:06:37.130 you've made that choice don't bullshit[br]me 0:06:37.130,0:06:40.190 like you want to spend more time with[br]your family spend more time with your 0:06:40.190,0:06:42.610 family 0:06:42.740,0:06:46.940 I'm trying to be very careful about what[br]I'm saying versus what I'm doing because 0:06:46.940,0:06:50.000 that's how you get exposed and I don't[br]mean like people calling you out and 0:06:50.000,0:06:54.979 being like you suck I mean to yourself I[br]don't want to be exposed by myself it's 0:06:54.979,0:06:58.220 it's it's looking at yourself in the[br]mirror and saying like am I doing this 0:06:58.220,0:07:03.139 right so to me there's so many people[br]they're talking shit about how big of an 0:07:03.139,0:07:06.770 entrepreneur they're gonna be and how[br]much they're gonna achieve and they 0:07:06.770,0:07:12.889 don't work on weekends you know I worked[br]every Saturday of my 20s like and I talk 0:07:12.889,0:07:16.580 to 20 year old entrepreneurs every[br]single day lately I've been saying to 0:07:16.580,0:07:20.060 them this Saturday you're gonna have[br]more time off than I've had in my entire 0:07:20.060,0:07:24.590 20s on a Saturday so like before you[br]tell me how you're gonna be bigger than 0:07:24.590,0:07:31.590 me start thinking about what you're[br]actually doing 0:07:31.590,0:07:38.050 I'm careful to not give advice that I[br]know is uniquely something that I was 0:07:38.050,0:07:42.640 gifted with like I'd how do I tell you[br]that 0:07:42.640,0:07:45.310 oh here's how it actually works and it[br]almost started happening it didn't 0:07:45.310,0:07:51.010 happen like I actually get goosebumps[br]like actually like real heavy goosebumps 0:07:51.010,0:07:57.790 when I hear something that I know feels[br]right what's the advice there hey Johnny 0:07:57.790,0:08:01.780 start getting goosebumps like I can't[br]there's certain things that I can't talk 0:08:01.780,0:08:08.720 about because I know they're not[br]practical they're intuitive to me 0:08:10.270,0:08:17.770 I plan to instill kindness until Achatz[br]I plan on instilling perspective into my 0:08:17.770,0:08:22.360 kids I plan in instilling just being a[br]good human being 0:08:22.360,0:08:28.690 I plan on making sure they don't use[br]their parents wealth and micro fame and 0:08:28.690,0:08:33.520 leverage to impose them on any other[br]person I was petrified of that if my 0:08:33.520,0:08:38.260 kids try to Punk their friends on my[br]shit I'm gonna get the fuck out of them 0:08:38.260,0:08:45.430 like that just loser DNA you didn't do[br]that we right like so like I'm not 0:08:45.430,0:08:51.100 obsessed with tactics I'm obsessed with[br]religion so I have a lot of wealthy 0:08:51.100,0:08:57.700 friends at this point who think it's[br]smart for them to sit first class but 0:08:57.700,0:09:02.260 the kids in coach it's a tactic they[br]send their kids to Africa to build a 0:09:02.260,0:09:05.020 school for a week it's a tactic it's[br]like my friends that love the 0:09:05.020,0:09:10.089 environment the number two sector in the[br]world that is hurting the environment is 0:09:10.089,0:09:15.520 the fashion industry when you run the[br]math of what's doing bad to the earth 0:09:15.520,0:09:20.440 it's the number two industry behind Gaza[br]i I don't even want to say it cuz I'm 0:09:20.440,0:09:23.649 not sure if it's gas in oil the number[br]two industry the sign of the fact is the 0:09:23.649,0:09:27.610 fashion industry so all my fancy friends[br]who love the environment are they 0:09:27.610,0:09:31.810 willing to give up their fucking Louie[br]bags let's say right so like I think 0:09:31.810,0:09:36.579 people talk shit so you let them sit[br]coach and you went first class but you 0:09:36.579,0:09:41.890 went to you know Hawaii and eat it all[br]the best pluck you can't pick and choose 0:09:41.890,0:09:45.490 to me it's binary so I don't wanna be a[br]hypocrite so my big thing is like look 0:09:45.490,0:09:51.520 you need to be kind like mean mean is[br]just non-negotiable in our family right 0:09:51.520,0:09:54.910 and then you just need to not be full of[br]shit if you want to look at daddy's 0:09:54.910,0:09:58.899 mountain and you want to say what I did[br]to my dad's and that was a big mountain 0:09:58.899,0:10:02.800 for an immigrant like wow dad did it[br]right if you want to say I'm gonna climb 0:10:02.800,0:10:07.990 that and I'm gonna climb bigger awesome[br]like I'm pumped I'm weirdly not cheering 0:10:07.990,0:10:11.649 for you cuz I'm I'm just a weirdly[br]competitive dude this is actually 0:10:11.649,0:10:15.430 something I'm not proud of I'm[br]comfortable saying this and I believe 0:10:15.430,0:10:20.570 this is a flaw but I don't want my kids[br]to beat me I don't like I don't I 0:10:20.570,0:10:24.380 saying it I know this is where I get in[br]trouble people will take one little clip 0:10:24.380,0:10:27.920 from one video interview and they're[br]like you're a bad eye it's just my truth 0:10:27.920,0:10:32.350 I don't want to bullshit you guys like[br]I'm that competitive 0:10:44.130,0:10:49.440 I just want them to be all in on them[br]right like I don't need them to be an 0:10:49.440,0:10:52.769 entrepreneur I don't need them to make[br]me proud they don't need to go to 0:10:52.769,0:10:56.370 Harvard they don't need to give shit[br]they need to be themselves all in and 0:10:56.370,0:10:59.750 they need to be kind and I'm good 0:11:03.010,0:11:08.530 like everybody thinks their stuff is so[br]good like everyday Gary my instagrams so 0:11:08.530,0:11:13.390 on fire soda awesome[br]why is nobody like why am I not gaining 0:11:13.390,0:11:17.160 followers cuz it's not awesome 0:11:17.670,0:11:22.990 think we all think our stuff is the best[br]and like I get that but yeah that would 0:11:22.990,0:11:27.390 be my advice only because that also is[br]liberating me everything's about 0:11:27.390,0:11:31.690 breathing right like to me everything is[br]about like take full ownership for 0:11:31.690,0:11:36.550 everything and then everything gets easy[br]cuz then you're in control and then 0:11:36.550,0:11:40.660 learn how to love to lose I think that's[br]how that's how entrepreneurship that's 0:11:40.660,0:11:46.060 how life is we all have losses and so I[br]like losses I love adversity 0:11:46.060,0:11:50.140 I like the climb I like the chip on my[br]shoulder I like when people like all I 0:11:50.140,0:11:54.580 knew and he's not that good that is like[br]like I'm even weirdly scared as I 0:11:54.580,0:11:58.510 continue to ascend and I'm getting[br]popular and wouldn't you say the 0:11:58.510,0:12:01.420 marketing leaning like if people start[br]putting these words in front of my name 0:12:01.420,0:12:07.230 I'm like am I gonna sabotage myself to[br]like recorrect this like I like 0:12:07.230,0:12:14.620 adversity so yeah all on me you know I[br]enjoy losses now all of a sudden like 0:12:14.620,0:12:18.220 what you become completely invincible I[br]feel invincible I really genuinely 0:12:18.220,0:12:24.310 outside of the health of myself and 20[br]people feel 100% invincible as a person 0:12:24.310,0:12:31.840 I know what my intent is I want to do[br]good at nobody else's expense I'm far 0:12:31.840,0:12:35.320 from perfect we all are[br]and so just easy it feels very light to 0:12:35.320,0:12:39.030 live life I'm just in a good mood 0:12:39.030,0:12:43.630 them home and I think modern-day parents[br]and most parents do not do that 0:12:43.630,0:12:48.520 I think they focus on dumb shit like[br]grades because they are insecure and 0:12:48.520,0:12:53.110 they want to put the bumper sticker that[br]their kid went to you know Stanford like 0:12:53.110,0:12:57.430 it's real fucked up when you really[br]think about what's actually happening so 0:12:57.430,0:13:01.120 much of it is misery loves company or[br]people reflecting of what's inside of 0:13:01.120,0:13:11.100 them 0:13:11.100,0:13:19.110 is the impact that you want to have on[br]the world same thing that attracts so 0:13:19.110,0:13:24.300 many of millions of people to people[br]that are selling bullshit those same 0:13:24.300,0:13:29.280 people are attracted to me and what I[br]want to do is suffocate out all those 0:13:29.280,0:13:34.170 other people and become the Alpha of[br]that entire world of people that are are 0:13:34.170,0:13:41.730 hoping and are desperate to look at me[br]and what I want to do is inspire two 14 0:13:41.730,0:13:45.630 year old girls in Kansas City right now[br]to build a billion dollar company on 0:13:45.630,0:13:50.670 having a bunch of employees hugging each[br]other in a house I think that Steve Jobs 0:13:50.670,0:13:56.550 came along became an icon but the sad[br]part of that narrative was he did not 0:13:56.550,0:14:00.990 treat his employees well he became an[br]icon and the narrative became and he got 0:14:00.990,0:14:05.490 the most out of people by being a jerk[br]and that became romanticized and a lot 0:14:05.490,0:14:09.510 of people in Silicon Valley today run[br]companies worth their mean because they 0:14:09.510,0:14:11.850 think that's the right thing to do[br]because they put Steve Jobs on a 0:14:11.850,0:14:14.880 pedestal[br]I want my pedestal moment I want to 0:14:14.880,0:14:19.200 become that big and what I want to come[br]from that is that kids that aren't even 0:14:19.200,0:14:21.980 born[br]think that they can build a five
