Dan Martell - My thoughts on university

00:00:00.000 I've been looking at your tears, especially the ones about university.

00:00:02.460 I'm going this fall.

00:00:03.440 I don't want to feel like I'm wasting my next four years.

00:00:06.560 So you're going to go and you want to get the most out of those four years.

00:00:09.140 Yeah.

00:00:09.460 If I had four years, man, I would go with you.

00:00:11.760 So I'll give you the answer that I wish I could have done,

00:00:14.260 but I don't have time to do now.

00:00:15.540 First off, I would care this much about my grades.

00:00:18.100 I just can't get kicked out.

00:00:19.160 Okay.

00:00:19.560 Because my parents will be upset.

00:00:20.920 Two, find the smartest people that you can meet.

00:00:23.700 Spend as much time as you can with them without being weird.

00:00:25.840 Like when you build your business and your ad account gets shut down,

00:00:28.620 you want to be able to call that guy you're working on this project and some guy says you

00:00:32.920 can't build that thing that way you want to call the material science guy and be like hey bobby

00:00:36.620 remember me this guy said we can't do this he'll be like oh no here's the science tell him to do

00:00:40.580 this you see what i'm saying yeah i would use university as a professional networking environment

00:00:45.300 i would go to class not to get kicked out and i would talk to as many smart people as i can and

00:00:49.300 if you did that for four years do you know how crazy your network would be so if you don't want

00:00:54.480 to waste it, you got to go, do that.
