00:00:00.000 If you could tell your son one thing, what would it be?

00:00:02.360 Everything you want sits on the other side

00:00:05.000 of helping other people get it.

00:00:06.340 Most people don't know this,

00:00:07.360 but my 12-year-old has a relatively very successful

00:00:10.840 YouTube channel of him editing videos.

00:00:13.520 And since he was a little kid, I kept telling him like,

00:00:15.780 hey man, I know you wanna edit more videos,

00:00:17.480 edit more videos, but the way you get better

00:00:19.500 and more successful is helping other people

00:00:21.560 edit their videos.

00:00:22.500 Even my other son, Noah, who's into soccer,

00:00:24.300 it's like, if you wanna get better at soccer,

00:00:26.080 help other people get better at soccer.

00:00:27.480 Why is that a winning recipe?

00:00:28.540 well you need somebody to play and practice with so helping other people get better at soccer now

00:00:32.660 means you have a practice partner think about it it's like the forcing function of you being

00:00:36.080 accountable for the thing you're trying to help somebody else do is the thing you want it sounds

00:00:39.720 so counterproductive but i think it's the cheat code
