00:00:00.000 This is what my morning routine looks like
00:00:02.200 as the CEO of a multi-million dollar company.
00:00:04.420 So I've distilled my morning routine into eight steps
00:00:06.880 and the first step is the night before.
00:00:09.120 So I look at the magnesium that I take
00:00:11.000 so I make sure that I get a good night's sleep.
00:00:13.080 One of the games I play is how many pills
00:00:14.620 can I swallow in one shot?
00:00:15.900 I do a calendar review so I know what my next morning
00:00:18.020 is gonna look like and if there's any critical things
00:00:19.740 that need to be cleared out, we take care of those.
00:00:21.680 Then I dump my mind into my journal
00:00:23.620 so I don't have any open loops running
00:00:25.040 that might cause me to toss in turn.
00:00:27.260 And I just write 10, 15 things
00:00:29.620 And then tomorrow morning, this is actually what I start with to sort into my other stuff.
00:00:34.580 So what happens is most people can't go to bed because they toss and turn
00:00:37.920 because they've got a lot of open loops.
00:00:39.680 These are my open loops and I'm writing pen to paper.
00:00:42.500 I always do a pen to paper, not on my phone.
00:00:44.820 That way in the morning, I have a hit list of things that I need to then chunk together.
00:00:50.280 So finance stuff, team stuff, phone calls,
00:00:52.640 and then I put them where they need to go to actually get worked up.
00:00:55.440 Then after I put the kids to bed, I usually hang out with my wife
00:00:58.160 and that's our personal time so usually i talk to my wife because she's there but she's not
00:01:03.920 there because she doesn't want to be on the internet and then afterwards i watch comedy
00:01:08.160 so that my brain turns off i'm not thinking i definitely don't read super productive business
00:01:12.720 books and the comedy usually kill tony allows me to just kind of slowly relax and sleep within 10
00:01:18.400 minutes at the most the second step is i wake up at 4 in the morning i try to get up around that
00:01:23.440 time i don't use an alarm but i've been doing this for so long that that's usually the time
00:01:27.200 for me i just checked my aura score which crushed 87 88 recovery which is awesome but i also go to
00:01:34.000 bed early so i always get about seven to eight hours of sleep at night if i was you an alarm
00:01:38.400 i never snooze snoozing is the devil it's the thief of productivity it's a bad habit to get into
00:01:44.000 do not snooze and then i go into my bathroom and i get my multivitamin so i take them next to the
00:01:49.440 sink so they're always there i never forget them vitamin d because that's one of the deficiencies
00:01:53.440 if you live in a place that doesn't have a lot of sun.
00:01:55.580 I usually do about three of these, 3,000 IUs a day.
00:01:59.280 I do my NMN, which is really good
00:02:01.040 for pulling vocabulary and recall.
00:02:03.140 So NMN is a precursor to NAD+,
00:02:06.080 so it helps with pulling vocabulary.
00:02:08.520 Very important because I do a lot of speaking and talking.
00:02:12.160 And then a very high quality multivitamin
00:02:14.420 so that I've got any other nutrients
00:02:16.000 that I need to collect in my body
00:02:17.440 available in that decision.
00:02:19.680 Multimillionaire drinks out of the tap with his hands.
00:02:21.920 I'm not a biohacker.
00:02:23.440 i'm a how does my body feel let's get done kind of person then i go and i have my clothes ready
00:02:28.560 to go i don't have a lot of clothes i wear the same thing every day these are my pants which
00:02:33.040 i got about seven options these are the shirts that i wear 90 of the time and then i only wear
00:02:38.160 one brand to keep it simple which is kitten ace and this closet is about 10 dan and 90 renee
00:02:46.720 so it's a lot of renee and then i go downstairs and i walk right outside and i take a photo of
00:02:51.680 my view and i share on social media because i like to share my process share my path when the morning
00:02:59.520 when the day the third step is hydration i go into the pantry i grab my water bottle i drink
00:03:06.400 a full liter with electrolytes what i have is these cool bio steel electrolytes chug it so i
00:03:12.560 get that in my body to kick start the day then i get the coffee made because everybody needs
00:03:16.640 some caffeine to kickstart the day now my coffee is ready and i feed my mind the fourth step is i
00:03:22.960 go to my chair and this chair is an anchor for me it's where i do my best creative work i always
00:03:27.520 start by reading 10 pages of a non-fiction personal development book so i can ramp up my mind it feeds
00:03:33.680 me and it sets the context then i start creating so i usually do some kind of diagramming on my
00:03:38.960 ipad i'm designing i'm solving problems but i always create connected to my creator it's just
00:03:43.920 like i create in the morning because i'm connected to my creator so early in the morning when it's
00:03:49.760 quiet i mean nobody else's lights are on in the houses and i'm sitting here and i'm like thinking
00:03:54.400 of ideas me myself and my thoughts and i'm downloading and then the boys wake up and this
00:03:59.440 is probably one of my favorite parts where they come in all sleepy eyes and give me a hug and i
00:04:03.920 never let them go until they tell me they're ready to move on and i will cherish those moments until
00:04:08.960 they get and they're almost there where they're too big for them to be able to even lay down and
00:04:12.880 to hug me. The fifth step is I go into my office and I do gratitude journaling. I use this great
00:04:17.440 journal called the five minute journal. It's all about not only being grateful for things and kind
00:04:20.940 of using that as the glue to set the day, but I also look at the intentions I want to create for
00:04:24.980 the day and the affirmations of who I want to become. And then I work on the Mendy app. It's a
00:04:29.780 brain training app that helps me work on pulling vocabulary. It's got sensors on my brain. I'm
00:04:35.640 going to start this and I don't know if I've got my score. Getting a little competitive, but I will
00:04:40.360 show you if i don't pay attention the ball will drop some people think this doesn't work i'm
00:04:45.780 going to show you see look now see you even stand there's me up dude because i'm like oh
00:04:55.880 i've got pressure i just need to become one with the ball okay the most important things that i do
00:05:01.300 is train my brain so that i can be more productive focused and creative in the meetings that matter
00:05:07.080 most especially we're making big decisions only one or two big decisions i have to make per day
00:05:10.920 and i use the brain training app mendy so that i can get the focus i need to make those decisions
00:05:19.640 yeah that's a score the sixth step is working out so i go downstairs i have a gym in my house
00:05:24.680 anybody can do this you just need a couple weights to make it happen but i exhaust the body to tame
00:05:30.040 my mind think about that i put my body through stress what i call you stress stress on myself
00:05:35.400 so that i don't have to deal with distress or dis-ease in my body so it's this concept called
00:05:40.360 sweat every day i go downstairs i sweat every day it can be as simple as just going for a walk it
00:05:44.760 doesn't matter what you do just put some weight on in a backpack go for a walk but this is where i
00:05:48.840 ramp up oh no trt yeah 43 44 now all natural somebody left comment on my youtube they were
00:06:04.760 like all natty question mark made my day get my body ready when i'm done that i always go outside
00:06:12.280 for a cold punch if you want to be a billionaire you have to do a cold punch
00:06:15.400 equipment said when you get in you got to put your face under the water it activates the mammalian
00:06:33.840 dive reflex
00:06:34.920 I don't know what that means
00:06:39.020 let's go on through your mind right now
00:06:40.860 that's how beautiful the view is
00:06:42.260 when you're in the cold plunge how do you usually
00:06:46.120 I don't really think about it
00:06:48.060 that's the whole point I think sometimes you have to turn off
00:06:50.120 your brain when I'm doing ultra
00:06:52.160 as an iron man
00:06:52.880 when you're in the pain cave you just gotta
00:06:55.460 settle in turn off the brain
00:06:58.260 stop talking to yourself
00:06:59.660 you can't get out
00:07:02.040 if you're not negotiating
00:07:03.280 sometimes the best move is to just do just to move just to work sometimes i do countdowns from
00:07:11.240 five just go five more seconds just go five four three two one i do another five seconds
00:07:21.820 how long do you stay in the cold book for uh depends three minutes if i'm rushed i might do
00:07:30.420 two I think two minimum the data shows that you want to do at least
00:07:34.560 kind of 12 minutes per week to activate the benefits
00:07:38.560 number seven is I go upstairs and I have breakfast now I like to eat similar things
00:07:48.620 pretty much at every meal that way I don't have decision fatigue I don't have to overthink it
00:07:52.240 and it hits my macros because I track all the food that I eat we're going to do start to finish
00:07:56.680 Nothing's prepped, and I'm just going to time it.
00:07:59.480 All righty?
00:08:00.060 Watch this.
00:08:01.760 Boom.
00:08:02.380 So I have this really cool, beautiful egg white protein bread sandwich
00:08:06.260 with sriracha and some barbecue sauce to make it sweet and hot.
00:08:09.660 And I do it all while I'm getting ready.
00:08:11.580 So I set it up.
00:08:12.520 I go upstairs.
00:08:13.080 I get ready.
00:08:13.960 And when I come down, it's almost ready to go.
00:08:15.940 I can do it in about three or four minutes because it's net time.
00:08:18.520 No extra time required.
00:08:20.080 It's set it, forget it, go.
00:08:21.700 And it's delicious, and I eat it pretty much every day.
00:08:25.160 That's hot.
00:08:26.400 The eighth step is I review my goals three times a day.
00:08:29.780 Usually when I sit in my office at the studio
00:08:31.940 or I get into my car, I always pull up my phone.
00:08:33.960 I have my major goals for the year pinned in my notes app
00:08:36.900 and I review them and I visualize.
00:08:38.620 And I think, who do I need to become to achieve those goals?
00:08:41.080 Because what I wanna do is I wanna pull the future forward
00:08:44.400 into my current reality.
00:08:45.780 And the only way to do that is to know what you're aiming at.
00:08:48.760 Most people don't have a primary aim.
00:08:50.940 I use that review process
00:08:52.300 to always have my goals front and center
00:08:53.960 and use my calendar to prioritize what activities I'm doing
00:08:57.040 to make sure I hit my goals.
00:08:58.840 So that's my morning routine
00:09:00.160 as the CEO of a multi-million dollar company.
