"FOCUS ON YOURSELF NOT OTHERS"

 I think so many people are keyboardactivists right everybody's good at sending a tweet about how the worldshould be and nobody's doing anything about it and that just that is just verymuch human nature we've gotten soft as a culture yes you know I mean of coursewe've gotten soft as a culture in the u.s. because the US has had anincredible two hundred year run right like this is just what happens you knowso as a culture you know I can't speak for you know people that live in theAmazon River and I can't speak for you know people that still live in Belarusbut the American culture is soft and that's a great thing that means there'sbeen enormous amounts of prosperity but let's not be naiveI mean people literally complain when somebody gives them the wrong amount oflike extra cream in a Starbucks $6 coffee you my lack of interest in complaining is sohigh and when I watch what people complain about it breaks my heartbecause they completely lack perspective and i genuinely believe my happiness andoptimism comes from my perspective even in political unrest times like right nowa lot of people very bent out of shape but the reality is is that it just neverbeen better to be a human being it's that's just the truththat's just data that's that's reality and yeah I mean it's just a very funtime to be alive and I think the way people look at theworld right now because it's such an incredible time is actually the quickesttell to who they are if you think it sucks but it's badyou have losing pessimistic DNA and if you think it's awesome and phenomenalyou have optimistic winning DNA and I believe that to be true and so that'swhere we're at we're beating ourselves up like everybody sucks that's somethingright like we all have shortcomings and we all have strengths and for me it'slike why don't we just audit that like why don't we just look at it that wayand be like alright well I'm good at this but I'm not gonna dad like and thenand then and then I only focus what I'm good at right like I don't dwell that Ican't fix shit around the house I call somebody to fix him like I'm not likeI'm not a man I don't give a fuck like you know like like you know like I don'tI don't get it like we all like I also think it's awesome that I'm soemotionally stable and I'm the emotional backbone of everybody is that what adude's supposed to do like like these cliches these stereotypes they're sosilly I'm fully in love with myself but I'm also fully in love with everybodyelse too right it's not like like it goes both ways like I tell people to buyin to be that work for me it's cuz 

I buy into them first like I don't needanybody to gain trust with me I it's they're like I believe that the humanrace is so grossly underrated we are good of course we have some bad there'sfucking 7 billion of us but like when you look at our net score it's bonkersshit like you know what you damage we can be doing to each other on a hourlybasis and we don't like we're still here like we won were the Alpha being andwe've figured out how to stay together this is insane when you think about itand yet everybody wants to dwell on like somebody said something mean if you want to be an anomaly you have toact like one like people want all these special things to happen but thenthey're acting like everybody else and that gets into this Saturdays on in your20s like or or just like taking risks or things of that nature like there'sanything they take away it's like look like you're gonna only be so prettyyou're only gonna be so smart like you like there's there's things that aregonna be natural and there's things that you can actually control I do believeand I don't know if I'm right or wrong I don't but I do believe that work ethicis a taught behavior it's something you do have more control over and you knowwhat really sealed a deal for me getting healthier I was 38 years old and didn'tcome natural to me like it didn't come natural to me at all I hate the gym Ihate him out I hate it I don't like it I don't want to do it but I but I knew itwas important and somewhere around midway through being 38 years old I gotserious I figured out my system I made the financial commitment and I've wonright and I'll never lose again because the system was I needed to beaccountable to another human being so it was about Mike and now Jordan andwhoever else is my trainer I'm doing it almost weirdly more to not let them downI feel like there's a shift that can make people work harder the big one thatI push is you're gonna die like like if your complaint like to me life is brokendown into complaining and not so if you're not complaining well then I'venever I have no advice for you.

 I'm pumped like you did it like like I'vefriends who make $42,000 a year work 9:00 to 4:00with an hour to have lunch and 45 minutes of YouTube and ten minutes ofbullshitting and an hour of complete waste of time in a meeting so the kindof working like 6:00 you know hours a week rightbut they're pumped and-and-and they text me these are highschool friends andthey'll text me like how happy they are to be the coach of their kids baseballteam and you know like that's amazing like that that seems very obvious to melike that's like that's right you know which is super weird I'm actually nearlyany yes you know like I it sounds cool like in theory right grass is alwaysgreener right like far less pressure you know like like all that time with mykids booth that would be cool like there'sjust like all these things that I can justify so to me but I have friends whohave a hundred million dollars in the bank because of Facebook's IPO whocomplain who are still hungry who want to do even morewho will complain to me because they know I work a lot about no work-lifebalance and they don't get to spend enough time with their family and I'mlike you have a hundred million dollars like you could stay home like you're incontrol like you don't complain about it you've made that choice don't bullshitme like you want to spend more time withyour family spend more time with your family I'm trying to be very careful about whatI'm saying versus what I'm doing because that's how you get exposed and I don'tmean like people calling you out and being like you suck I mean to yourself Idon't want to be exposed by myself it's it's it's looking at yourself in themirror and saying like am I doing this right so to me there's so many peoplethey're talking shit about how big of an entrepreneur they're gonna be and howmuch they're gonna achieve and they don't work on weekends you know I workedevery Saturday of my 20s like and I talk to 20 year old entrepreneurs everysingle day lately I've been saying to them this Saturday you're gonna havemore time off than I've had in my entire 20s on a Saturday so like before youtell me how you're gonna be bigger than me start thinking about what you'reactually doing I'm careful to not give advice that Iknow is uniquely something that I was gifted with like I'd how do I tell youthat oh here's how it actually works and italmost started happening it didn't happen like I actually get goosebumpslike actually like real heavy goosebumps when I hear something that I know feelsright what's the advice there hey Johnny start getting goosebumps like I can'tthere's certain things that I can't talk about because I know they're notpractical they're intuitive to me I plan to instill kindness until AchatzI plan on instilling perspective into my kids I plan in instilling just being agood human being I plan on making sure they don't usetheir parents wealth and micro fame and leverage to impose them on any otherperson I was petrified of that if my kids try to Punk their friends on myshit I'm gonna get the fuck out of them like that just loser DNA you didn't dothat we right like so like I'm not obsessed with tactics I'm obsessed withreligion so I have a lot of wealthy friends at this point who think it'ssmart for them to sit first class but the kids in coach it's a tactic theysend their kids to Africa to build a school for a week it's a tactic it'slike my friends that love the environment the number two sector in theworld that is hurting the environment is the fashion industry when you run themath of what's doing bad to the earth it's the number two industry behind Gazai I don't even want to say it cuz I'm not sure if it's gas in oil the numbertwo industry the sign of the fact is the fashion industry so all my fancy friendswho love the environment are they willing to give up their fucking Louiebags let's say right so like. 

I think people talk shit so you let them sitcoach and you went first class but you went to you know Hawaii and eat it allthe best pluck you can't pick and choose to me it's binary so I don't wanna be ahypocrite so my big thing is like look you need to be kind like mean mean isjust non-negotiable in our family right and then you just need to not be full ofshit if you want to look at daddy's mountain and you want to say what I didto my dad's and that was a big mountain for an immigrant like wow dad did itright if you want to say I'm gonna climb that and I'm gonna climb bigger awesomelike I'm pumped I'm weirdly not cheering for you cuz I'm I'm just a weirdlycompetitive dude this is actually something I'm not proud of I'mcomfortable saying this and I believe this is a flaw but I don't want my kidsto beat me I don't like I don't I saying it I know this is where I get introuble people will take one little clip from one video interview and they'relike you're a bad eye it's just my truth I don't want to bullshit you guys likeI'm that competitive I just want them to be all in on themright like I don't need them to be an entrepreneur I don't need them to makeme proud they don't need to go to Harvard they don't need to give shitthey need to be themselves all in and they need to be kind and I'm good like everybody thinks their stuff is sogood like everyday Gary my instagrams so on fire soda awesomewhy is nobody like why am I not gaining followers cuz it's not awesome think we all think our stuff is the bestand like I get that but yeah that would be my advice only because that also isliberating me everything's about breathing right like to me everything isabout like take full ownership for everything and then everything gets easycuz then you're in control and then learn how to love to lose I think that'show that's how entrepreneurship that's how life is we all have losses and so Ilike losses I love adversity I like the climb I like the chip on myshoulder I like when people like all I knew and he's not that good that is likelike I'm even weirdly scared as I continue to ascend and I'm gettingpopular and wouldn't you say the marketing leaning like if people startputting these words in front of my name I'm like am I gonna sabotage myself tolike recorrect this like I like adversity so yeah all on me you know Ienjoy losses now all of a sudden like what you become completely invincible Ifeel invincible I really genuinely outside of the health of myself and 20people feel 100% invincible as a person I know what my intent is I want to dogood at nobody else's expense I'm far from perfect we all areand so just easy it feels very light to live life I'm just in a good mood them home and I think modern-day parentsand most parents do not do that I think they focus on dumb shit likegrades because they are insecure and they want to put the bumper sticker thattheir kid went to you know Stanford like it's real fucked up when you reallythink about what's actually happening so much of it is misery loves company orpeople reflecting of what's inside of them is the impact that you want to have onthe world same thing that attracts so many of millions of people to peoplethat are selling bullshit those same people are attracted to me and what Iwant to do is suffocate out all those other people and become the Alpha ofthat entire world of people that are are hoping and are desperate to look at meand what I want to do is inspire two 14 year old girls in Kansas City right nowto build a billion dollar company on having a bunch of employees hugging eachother in a house I think that Steve Jobs came along became an icon but the sadpart of that narrative was he did not treat his employees well he became anicon and the narrative became and he got the most out of people by being a jerkand that became romanticized and a lot of people in Silicon Valley today runcompanies worth their mean because they think that's the right thing to dobecause they put Steve Jobs on a pedestalI want my pedestal moment I want to become that big and what I want to comefrom that is that kids that aren't even bornthink that they can build a five billion dollar company and be a great guy orgreat gal I want to build the biggest building in town ever by just buildingthe biggest building in town while I think most people try to tear downeverybody else's building.

So I think positivity and good is practical adviceto building an empire and I want to be the poster child of the person thatdon't biggest baddest empire and did it by being a good dude along the way andnot everybody's gonna be happy about everything I did but if it's 97% ofpeople talking good behind your back that's a real legacy and I want to do itin a pop culture way I'm gonna do it anyway people have done that before justso you know there's plenty of people Warren Buffett's a really good dude likethere'splenty of people that have done that there's a difference I want to doit and I want to be a rock star right like and that's where you influencepeople like you know like I want to do it but I also want to be the mostpopular and so then that person's like oh I want to be him so I guess I'll benice like I want to literally take people who have DNA that's kind of niceand make them more nice because they think that's how I became big so Ibasically want to trick the business world into becoming kinder you.
