Order of Man - The Mindset of Discipline, Law of the Harvest, and Developing a Curious Mind ｜ ASK ME ANYTHING

00:00:00.000 You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest. Embrace your fears and boldly chart

00:00:04.980 your own path. When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time. Every time.

00:00:10.460 You are not easily deterred or defeated. Rugged. Resilient. Strong. This is your life. This is who

00:00:17.220 you are. This is who you will become. At the end of the day, and after all is said and done,

00:00:22.780 you can call yourself a man. All right, Mr. Kip Sorensen, we're back. We're doing this live again.

00:00:27.780 Life seems to work pretty well. Guys are enjoying it for whatever reason. It's probably because of

00:00:31.840 you, not because of me. It's because they're not doing their jobs. Get off social media and get

00:00:38.400 some shit done and stop browsing Facebook. No, this is important. They can do it in Order of Man.

00:00:44.500 That's excusable. That's acceptable. Oh, okay. Nowhere else, though. If you're anywhere else,

00:00:48.900 don't be doing that. The only place on Facebook where you actually become a better person is

00:00:53.580 Order of Man Facebook group. All other places, waste of your time. Well, I won't say become a

00:00:58.620 better person. I'll say learn to become a better person because at some point, guys, you do have

00:01:02.480 to apply it. Yeah. Action is still required. Yes. I mean, we're trying to do as much as we can,

00:01:08.540 but come on. You got to do some of the work here for us. Yeah. Are you Kika today instead of Kip?

00:01:14.640 Oh, does this say Kika? That's funny. Here, let me change that. Yeah. All right. Well, 0.81

00:01:18.740 good. While you're doing that, guys, we're going to field some questions. If you're listening to

00:01:23.100 this recording on a podcast, then you're too late. We already asked for your questions and

00:01:28.420 we're going to answer the ones we have. If you're listening to this live, we're going to get through

00:01:31.140 as many of the pre-questions that we already had set up because we want to honor that.

00:01:35.220 And then if, like I said, if we have time, then we'll try to get to some real-time questions that

00:01:39.640 you're asking in the Facebook group, which you can check out at facebook.com slash groups

00:01:43.220 slash order of man. All right, let's get into it. How do I change my name? We're leaving it,

00:01:50.520 man. We're leaving it. All right, hold on, hold on. I'll, I'll change it for you. Don't,

00:01:54.240 don't do anything. Let me change it here. Can you change it for me? Oh dude, I, I've got the power.

00:01:59.300 That seems like an overreach of authority. I've got the power, man. Well, since I pay for it,

00:02:03.860 I figure that's a, there we go. Yeah. That's a side tip. Nice.

00:02:09.400 All right. Let me change it for real here. Yeah. I appreciate that. Uh, oh, hold on. Now

00:02:16.340 it's asking if I want to remove you. I don't want to remove you. I want to rename you.

00:02:20.080 That's funny. All right. This is what happens when, uh, your kids are having to meet with,

00:02:26.140 uh, school teachers via zoom. There we go. Got it. Pandemic world that we live in.

00:02:31.640 Did I spell your name right? Uh, Danish. Yep. Yep. You got the Danish version. That's the E N 1.00

00:02:37.260 instead of the O N. What's the O N. If E N is Danish, Swedish, Swedish. All right. Well, 0.90

00:02:42.480 there you go. There's your, there's your history lesson for the day. All right. Let's get to

00:02:45.580 questions. All right. Uh, we're going to fill the questions from the iron council or exclusive

00:02:50.460 brotherhood. Learn there, uh, learn more about the icy go to order of man.com slash iron council.

00:02:55.000 First question, Billy Trehalo. What is one song on your workout playlist to get you going?

00:03:02.340 I don't, I don't listen to a whole lot of music. So you podcast it normally, right?

00:03:06.980 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, other, yeah, I just podcast. I don't listen to a whole lot of music. You know,

00:03:12.560 when I was younger, maybe like thunderstruck or some sort of guns and roses to get us going

00:03:20.260 like before a football game, you know, but I don't need to get hopped up. I just,

00:03:25.980 I just go in there and do my work and I, I listen to podcasts. Yeah. That YMCA YMCA Ryan.

00:03:33.060 Of course. Yeah, of course. The dance and YMCA usually gets him pumped.

00:03:36.160 That's just a given. Like, I didn't even know I needed to answer that question. I thought that

00:03:39.280 was just a given. Oh, that's funny. All right. Thomas Zimmerman. How do you get into the head

00:03:45.620 space of remaining consistent? I've now recognized that as a challenge of mine and understand small

00:03:52.560 continuous steps are necessary. However, sometimes even those small steps are forgotten. Any tips?

00:03:57.980 So get into the head space, remaining consistent.

00:04:04.040 This one, this is actually something I don't deal with a whole lot. So it's hard for me to formulate

00:04:09.060 an answer. It's like, you just do it. But that, but that's not a, that's not a great answer.

00:04:13.300 Yeah. That's like the Jocko answer. Yeah. Right. Right. You just do it. Yeah. And sometimes actually

00:04:17.640 that's appropriate, but I'm trying to really think about, okay, like what can you do? I think having

00:04:22.020 a system in place is really important. A lot of guys just don't have a system in place. We know

00:04:27.580 that for example, through scientific study, that willpower is fleeting, right? Like you have a

00:04:33.420 certain amount of reserves of willpower. And then throughout the day, depending on how often and

00:04:38.200 how much you're using it, you get, you get tired, right? You get fatigued and get drained of that

00:04:43.040 willpower. So to me, and James Clear talks about this a lot in his book, Atomic Habits. It's not

00:04:48.640 really about the will to be disciplined. It's about the creating the structures to be disciplined.

00:04:55.420 So if you can notice yourself where you're falling off track, where you're falling short,

00:04:59.200 where you get derailed, if you can try to identify what that is, and we do that in the

00:05:03.360 after action review. So if you identify where it is that you're getting derailed and then start

00:05:09.460 coming up with a system or a process or a set of procedures that keeps you from getting derailed,

00:05:16.040 then you won't have to tap into that willpower. You don't, you don't have to, to will discipline

00:05:21.280 into existence. It's like, you just go through the steps. I think of a, like a flight, a flight

00:05:27.040 plan or a flight manual for, for a pilot, right? Like he, he goes through step one, step two,

00:05:32.920 step three, step four, step five, step six. And it's not like he's exerting some massive levels

00:05:37.900 of willpower. He's just going through the steps because he has those steps in place.

00:05:42.560 So I think you really need to ask yourself, are you just saying, okay, well, I want to go work.

00:05:48.340 I want to work out every day. That's a good, that's a good objective. That's, that's, that's

00:05:53.460 important. But unless you have the system, like, okay, here's the routine I'm going to do.

00:05:59.340 Here's how I'm going to hold myself accountable. Here's what time I'm going to do it. When I don't

00:06:04.360 feel like doing it, here's what I'm going to say, or here's how I'm going to behave. I have all of my

00:06:08.880 clothes laid out the night before I've got a pre-workout here. Like you have that process in

00:06:13.600 place. And I think you're much more likely to execute it. One other thing I'll say on this

00:06:17.760 subject is take a step back for a second. Cause a lot of guys tend to be very action oriented,

00:06:24.380 which is great. You should be action oriented. And I think that's a wonderful thing.

00:06:28.820 But if you're not thinking about long-term vision and what it is ultimately you're trying to

00:06:33.500 accomplish, then you're selling yourself short and you're setting yourself up for failure when

00:06:38.880 things get challenging or demanding or distracting. But if you formulate a vision upfront ahead of time,

00:06:46.920 and then you don't feel like doing the thing that you want to do, you can remember, Oh wait,

00:06:51.200 here's why I'm doing this thing. In fact, right now, and I've told you a little bit about this Kip, 0.99

00:06:55.240 I'm going through, uh, well, developing a program. It's a 30 day program. It's free.

00:06:59.660 Everybody can access it. Uh, and it's designed to get you in a period of 30 days to be quote unquote

00:07:07.140 battle readiness, which is to be completely ready for the battle that you're going to have to face

00:07:13.020 in the relationships, in your business, in your, your, your bank account, your spiritual health,

00:07:18.760 everything that we need to do on a daily basis. So if you're interested in that, cause this will

00:07:22.960 help you formulate your vision and then work into some of these objectives and tactics and systems,

00:07:26.680 uh, just go to our, I don't have it up ready yet. Just go to our website. Stay tuned.

00:07:33.500 No, go to our website and then just sign up for the newsletter. Cause I'm going to send out a message

00:07:37.580 when it's available and, and everybody will be able to access it there. But I would say the systems

00:07:41.740 and processes are very important. Did I lose you? He's taking notes. Yeah. No, I'm, yeah. I'm just

00:07:50.500 listening though, but go ahead. No. Well, I was going to add to what you're saying is you got to

00:07:56.740 trust the process, I think. And when we trust the process, we eliminate all the noise and the meaning

00:08:02.300 that we're have to put around the tactic that we're working on. You mentioned vision, Ryan.

00:08:07.540 One of the things that that's nice about that vision is you can look at the vision and say,

00:08:11.160 okay, this is where I'm going for. This is the purpose. I'm doing this. And now I'm going to

00:08:15.220 eliminate all the meaning around whether I should do this or not, AKA trust the process.

00:08:20.640 Right. So I think a lot of guys get, they get tripped up because they're like, well, is this

00:08:25.380 like, let's think about the flight plan. For instance, if half of those steps, the pilot's

00:08:29.800 not sure if that's really necessary or not, then as he's going through the steps, he's like, well,

00:08:34.380 and I do, we need to do it. And then he's like getting in his own head. Well, is this step really

00:08:39.020 needed? And is it? No, he, he knows he's identified. Like these are the things I need to do.

00:08:43.340 And he just does them. Right. He trusts that process. He trusts that these steps

00:08:48.740 are going to ensure like a safe, you know, flight or whatever. And, and so I think you need to do

00:08:53.320 the same. Now, with that said, we talked about this on the iron council, where we have these

00:08:57.360 checkpoints where we check and validate is our tactic in the right direction. That's great.

00:09:04.640 But until the checkpoint comes, heads down, trust the process, just do the work. Right. I think,

00:09:10.840 uh, was it Horton that does P90X? He has a phrase. I love it. It's like, do your best,

00:09:16.240 forget the rest. It's like, just do your best in the moment. Just do your best. Don't worry about,

00:09:20.400 oh, how many pushups can you do? Don't even worry about that. Just try to do as many as you can do.

00:09:25.960 Yeah. And if you come short, you come short, but don't worry about it. Like don't add all this other

00:09:30.620 meeting, trust the process and then push forward. And then eventually when that checkpoint comes,

00:09:35.100 then validate, okay, is, uh, are the things that I'm doing progressing in the right direction?

00:09:40.380 If they are awesome, if they're not pivot and then trust the process again.

00:09:44.280 Right. Yeah. Because there is a point in time where you ought to question and we'll just keep

00:09:47.840 going on this fight flight plan analogy. Like you ought to question the flight plan, right? Like,

00:09:51.900 is this, is that there is a time, but not when you're about to take off and not when you're flying,

00:09:58.080 flying the plane, like you want to figure that stuff ahead of time. And then you land and you're like,

00:10:02.520 okay, how did that go? Yeah, it worked. Or no, it didn't. Or here's how we can be more efficient.

00:10:06.240 So there is a process for that as well. Uh, I would also say in order for you to trust the process,

00:10:11.400 because sometimes you're going to be so involved in the process and you're not going to see results.

00:10:15.340 So let's say, let's use fitness as an example. If you're 50 pounds overweight and you just cut

00:10:21.920 out some sugars and processed sugars, and you go to the gym every day this week for an hour,

00:10:26.160 you're probably going to lose 10 pounds. Like as a man with a normal metabolism,

00:10:31.240 you're probably going to lose 10 pounds this week. And then next week, you're going to lose

00:10:35.500 five pounds. And then next week, three, and then one, and then one, and then half a pound.

00:10:42.780 So it's the law of diminishing returns. So initially you're all hopped up. Cause you're

00:10:46.500 like, dude, I lost 10 pounds and killing it. Yeah. Right. So you're, of course, that's going to be

00:10:50.760 motivating and inspiring you. You're going to keep going, but due to the law of diminishing returns

00:10:55.120 in four weeks, it's going to be harder for you to see the result, which is going to create a

00:11:01.740 situation where you're less likely to be motivated and inspired because you're not seeing the results.

00:11:07.240 So in that moment, in order for you to trust that the process is working,

00:11:12.380 you need to have two things, a little bit of faith that it's working, and you need to have

00:11:17.100 some sort of information that you're on the right path. That could be a course that you're taking,

00:11:21.600 uh, a coach who you've hired, who's teaching you the process. It might even be, Hey, I just watched

00:11:27.960 this guy do it and I'm just doing what he does. There has to be something out in front of you,

00:11:32.340 proving that what you're doing is correct. Otherwise a lot of self doubt, a lot of questioning

00:11:36.960 comes into play when you're in the midst of diminishing returns. Yeah, totally. I can think

00:11:42.880 of numerous times in my life where I had a goal and an objective, and then I stopped.

00:11:51.600 Um, and then two months later, I looked back and thought, Whoa, you know what? I wonder where

00:11:56.080 I'd be right now. Yeah. If I kept doing that every day. And in most cases, I think all of us would say

00:12:01.920 I'd be way better off. Of course. But it's ironic is when you're in the trenches, you're like,

00:12:07.380 I don't know if this is working or whatever, but you look back at it. You're like, man,

00:12:11.000 if I was just doing that every day, I know without a doubt that I'd be in a way better place.

00:12:14.620 Well, here's an interesting thing too, around this time is I say this time I'm talking about

00:12:19.560 specifically like with the fallout from Corona virus and all the doubt and uncertainty. People

00:12:23.400 talk about this when they have these weird, uh, work schedules too. There's so much uncertainty,

00:12:29.260 volatility, unknown. It's like, what do I do? Do I create a plan right now? Not knowing

00:12:33.240 guys, there's things that you can do that, that are going to work regardless of what the future holds,

00:12:39.900 like going to the gym and exercising is, is good for you, regardless of what you're going to be

00:12:45.720 doing in 30 days, right? Eating right, balancing your bank account, making smart financial decisions,

00:12:52.200 investing money in a prudent way, communicating effectively with your wife and your children,

00:12:57.060 taking time to develop new skills and new hobbies. That's not wasted effort ever. So there are things

00:13:05.000 that you can be doing right now that are going to apply and put you in a better position

00:13:09.320 regardless of what the future holds. So be very careful of using the future as an excuse not to

00:13:14.260 do anything. Then we're, and we're going to go on the plane analogy some more because then it's like

00:13:18.320 you're in this holding pattern and you're waiting for some external source to tell you it's okay to

00:13:22.840 land. It's like, what are you going to be doing in that meantime? And that's why it's really important

00:13:27.100 in times like this, that you're actually bettering yourself and improving yourself. I can't tell you

00:13:31.160 how often I hear from people I've even been shamed for it, for being productive during this time,

00:13:36.580 because apparently that's inconsiderate. Like if I'm, if I want to be better and I'm encouraging

00:13:42.280 other people to improve their lives, then I'm being inconsiderate of people who are dealing

00:13:46.960 with difficult situations or who want to use this time as a quote unquote reset. I've never seen more

00:13:53.700 people fight for mediocrity and complacency than I have during this time. And look, if you're in that

00:13:59.800 camp, cool, do you or whatever, but don't you dare be offended or, or, or threatened by somebody

00:14:07.460 who's choosing to take this time and better themselves and improve themselves. If you want

00:14:11.480 to do your thing, do your thing, but let other people, well, not let, because it's not really up

00:14:17.160 to you, but just forget about the people who are succeeding and thriving. You've made your choice.

00:14:21.480 These people have made their choices. So deal with it. You, you made your bed, you lie in it.

00:14:25.260 It gets me so riled up, man. Cause I, I start thinking about this and it's like,

00:14:30.060 we think like, first off, what does everyone's problem thinking that circumstances need to be

00:14:35.640 aligned to actually take action? Like you want some consistent in the life. Here's the consistency.

00:14:39.820 There is no consistency. There is no guarantee. It's going to end up the light. We, we use this

00:14:45.800 analogy all the time when guys talk about, you know, when I'm ready to have kids, you'll never be ready

00:14:49.380 to have kids. The, your, your work schedule is never going to be perfect. Your kids are not going to be

00:14:55.120 all, they're all not going to be, they're not going to grow up to be amazing people. Like

00:15:01.160 speak for yourself, man. My kids are going to grow up to be amazing people, but life is tough

00:15:06.200 and it's full of uncertainty. Right. And by the way, future is what? I know a word. That's all it is.

00:15:13.160 There is no tomorrow. Tomorrow's a word that, uh, that it represents something that has not yet

00:15:18.340 happened. All you have is right now, period. So if you can't do it now, then you're not going to do it

00:15:24.440 later. Like I, I love that. And now, like I use this term on my kids all the time. Like we have

00:15:28.460 this tendency to like, even as adults, we think, Oh, if I have something nicer, right. It's the kind

00:15:34.400 of our B do have, right. If I, if, if I have these things, then I'll be happy. Or if I had a nicer

00:15:40.900 house, then I would take care of it. That is all just BS. It is all 100% BS. And, and by the way,

00:15:48.980 they're all out of your control. Most of them. So how you show up, the kind of person you show up,

00:15:55.560 whether you put regiments in your life to become better, whether it's through physical workout or

00:15:59.780 increasing your spirituality, those things just need to happen on your own, regardless of

00:16:04.580 circumstance. That's what defines us. Right. Is how we show up regardless of circumstance.

00:16:08.360 Right. Yeah. I like that. We're talking about these laws, right? Law of diminishing return. Now

00:16:12.100 you're talking about law of the harvest. Like you don't get to reap what you didn't sow.

00:16:15.660 Totally. Like if you want more money, then you have to prove yourself capable of handling money

00:16:21.500 now. And then you've proven to the universe or God or what nature that you can handle more

00:16:27.520 responsibility because money doesn't make responsibility go away. If anything, it actually

00:16:31.620 increases your level of responsibility. So if you want more, then you have to prove that you're capable

00:16:37.780 of handling what you have. I think about that in the context of even relationships. I want a better

00:16:42.160 relationship with my wife, dude, that's great. But like that starts today. You have to handle the

00:16:46.900 relationship that you have now so that your future relationship will be that much better. I want more

00:16:51.560 money. Cool. Manage the money you have right now. When I was a financial advisor, people would say,

00:16:55.900 Hey, Brian, what's the best rate of return you can get me in the market? And I'd say, well,

00:16:59.020 tell me how much money you're setting aside consistently. Oh, nothing. Well then 0% or 10%. It doesn't

00:17:04.580 matter. Yeah. You, you, you aren't managing your, you aren't being a good steward over your

00:17:08.900 resources now. So anything that I tell you doesn't apply to your situation. You aren't in the position

00:17:14.480 to do anything about it. Yeah. In fact, it's funny that you bring this up because when you're using

00:17:18.960 the analogy of working out and you know, you're mentioning how you lose weight the first week and

00:17:23.440 it reduces when you're telling that story, I was immediately like, that's perfect. It's a perfect

00:17:29.580 design. Your, your body's saying, Hey, guess what? I'm going to give you a lot of wins right away

00:17:34.320 to create some momentum. And guess what? If you want to level up, it's going to be a little bit

00:17:38.800 harder. Right. And when you're ready to level up, it's going to be a little bit harder. And when you

00:17:42.240 want to level up some more, it's going to be a little bit harder. Welcome to life. And it's

00:17:46.960 ironic that the workout, even such the workouts, the same way, everything is a little bit harder.

00:17:52.740 Yeah. And I, I'm doing, you guys can see, like you can see my guitar right there. Right. So I've been,

00:17:57.980 I've been practicing. Yeah, man. I've been practicing at least, at least minimum 20 minutes every

00:18:02.740 single day. Sometimes I go for an hour, others I get 10 minutes in. And you're using that app and

00:18:06.920 that app just tells you what chords to work on. Yeah. So I'll pull it up here. So if you're on

00:18:11.300 the app, I downloaded the app after the last AMA. Cause I was like, I should just do that same

00:18:15.720 thing. Cause I try to learn a song, but I'm like, well, maybe I should just like actually learn some

00:18:20.020 chords and yeah. Yeah. And it gives you a path to run on, but that's the app that I use.

00:18:25.480 Uh, there it goes. Use issues. That text message you got there. Oh, don't worry. Don't worry about

00:18:29.620 that one. Yeah. That's for my wife. Don't worry about it. Um, the kids are distraught. I shouldn't

00:18:34.000 say that. Nevermind. Anyways, here's the app musician. All right. So you can pick a path.

00:18:40.940 And then last night I was playing on the guitar. My wife was in the kitchen and, uh,

00:18:46.540 and I was getting very frustrated cause I couldn't get this like one song and it has you go and you

00:18:51.220 have to hit so many stars before you. And it's listening to you. Yeah. It's listening to you

00:18:56.080 telling you, okay. Guitar hero on your, it is with a real guitar instead of like a,

00:19:00.860 a game or whatever. Yeah. But it gets harder, right? It just gets harder and harder. And like

00:19:05.940 last night I'm like, damn. And my, and I, and I didn't know my wife was in the other room and she 1.00

00:19:09.880 just laughs. I'm like, what? She's like, ah, just listening to you play. And it, but it gets

00:19:13.900 progressively harder. And we want that. Like we, as human beings, we actually want that. We crave that.

00:19:21.100 Yeah. Right. It's the same. This is the phenomenon that happens even with video games. And I'm not a

00:19:25.580 gamer. Like we don't have a video game console or anything in our house, but if, if you had the

00:19:30.420 cheat code to everything and, and you had all the tools and all the skills of your little character

00:19:36.900 immediately, it would be fun for like an hour. Yeah. And then you're like, okay, this is stupid.

00:19:44.000 I'm done because it's not hard. It's no, it's not a challenge anymore. So innately we want to be

00:19:50.840 challenged and, and it just, it gradually builds up. Anyways, I think we've beat this question.

00:19:57.400 Yeah. I was going to say, how many different more angles can we address? I mean, we probably

00:20:01.280 answered like 10 questions at this point, but really technically we've only got through one.

00:20:05.680 Is that a mountain ops jacket? That's pretty bad. Yeah. Is it a target there? Yeah. It's got my

00:20:11.220 mountain ops representing. Yeah. Yeah. That's nice. All right. Jordan Stanley,

00:20:15.880 have you set any checkpoints for escalation within the conversation of government overreach

00:20:20.560 when to disobey? Are you willing to get arrested for it? And does that sacrifice your ability to

00:20:26.960 take care of your family and be better first line of defense? Yeah. I won't say that I've set

00:20:32.200 certain checkpoints, but there's certain things that like, I'm just not going to adhere to like in

00:20:36.800 the state of Maine right now. There is a, there's an order as far as I know, it's still,

00:20:41.620 still there that if you're in a public space and I don't know if it's outdoors or just indoors that

00:20:47.700 you have to wear a mask. I'm like, I'm not going to wear a mask. I'm not wearing a mask. And I'm at

00:20:53.220 this point I'm thinking, you know, like if somebody has a problem with that, it's like, well then stay

00:20:56.820 inside. Yeah. Like if you have a problem with that or you have a compromised immune system or

00:21:02.340 you don't agree with that, then don't go outside. It's as simple as that. And people say, oh,

00:21:08.980 that's inconsiderate. No, it's not. It's inconsiderate to shut down 99.9% of people's

00:21:14.680 lives because 0.03% of the people that, that, that, that walk around on this planet might contract

00:21:23.840 this illness. I mean, it's not, and, and people say, well, that's, that's, I can't believe you

00:21:28.220 want people to die. What are you talking about? It's like, I don't want people to die, but there

00:21:34.360 are ramifications, negative ramifications for what we're doing on people's emotional, mental,

00:21:40.560 physical, spiritual, financial health. Like this is a real, there's real consequences to what we're

00:21:45.000 doing here. So yeah, I think you have to weigh to answer Jordan's question. You have to weigh the,

00:21:50.420 the response. You have to weigh the risk. There's risk in everything. If we open the economy back up

00:21:55.620 a hundred percent, there's risk associated with that. Do I believe we should do that? No, probably

00:21:59.520 not at this point. Um, but if you want to open your restaurant or your place of business, then I say all

00:22:04.700 the power to you. And then people can decide for themselves as sovereign individuals, whether or not

00:22:09.220 they'd like to take the risk. Exactly. Yeah. And if you, and if you do, then you live with those,

00:22:15.480 those consequences. And if you don't, well, okay, there's consequences to that too. So yeah, I think

00:22:22.080 it's important that we question what is happening right now. To me, it is apparent. And I did a

00:22:26.240 podcast several weeks ago about this, that there is a tremendous overreach of, of government. So yeah,

00:22:33.140 I think we, at a minimum amount of question, the motives and intentions of, of these politicians.

00:22:38.320 And if we're willing to, uh, evaluate the risk and, and shoulder the burden of the risk,

00:22:46.220 then yeah, I think some civil disobedience is in order. Absolutely. Yeah. So what I tell my boys

00:22:53.420 whenever, I think we should always question whenever our freedoms are being taken away. And, and let me

00:23:02.700 clarify that every lot to some extent is a, is a little bit of freedom taken away. Something as simple as

00:23:09.900 if you don't wear a seatbelt, you can be put in jail is a form of a little bit of freedom, right? Being taken

00:23:17.000 away where we say there's some associated consequence for your actions and you can't do those things or

00:23:23.120 there's a repercussion and the government will step in. And, and I'm not saying like certain of certain

00:23:27.940 things are not okay, but I'm just saying we should always pause and go, wait a second. Is this a good

00:23:34.220 idea? Is this necessary? We should always question those scenarios because that is a very, very dangerous

00:23:40.160 place to go. Well, not only should we do it, we have a civic responsibility to do it. It's written in our

00:23:47.040 founding documents that anytime a government oversteps its bounds, that we have a right and responsibility to

00:23:54.080 check that government. So people will say, you need to, you need to obey the law. Yeah, I agree.

00:24:01.020 Do you need to obey the law? And our founding documents suggest that if there's an unjust rule

00:24:06.140 or law, that not only do we question it, but that we oppose when we fight and rebel against it.

00:24:13.460 Yeah. And that's more about the law than, than the imposing, right? Exactly. It's a found,

00:24:18.580 it's the founding charter. It's the founding documents. Yeah. Yeah. Got to be a really

00:24:23.880 careful. All right. Drew Sands. What are some things you guys have been doing to engage your

00:24:29.440 wives during this time? We used to go out weekly, but obviously can't right now, playing card games,

00:24:34.860 watching shows, bike rides together right now. But I'm curious if either of you have exceeded

00:24:40.060 expectations with an at-home date night. I haven't done that, but that's a good idea.

00:24:45.760 Yeah. Yeah. I should consider that. Um, other, other than that, very similar to what you do,

00:24:51.540 you know, like we, we, we do walks in the evening. We'll be outside playing. We do even just working

00:24:57.660 in the yard. Like we trimmed down a ton of trees, uh, over the weekend from our little Creek that we

00:25:03.740 have outside and just cleared that path. And we had a good time doing that. Um, what else puzzles?

00:25:09.840 Like we're way into puzzles. We do a puzzle every single day or Legos together with the family.

00:25:14.840 Yeah. We do a lot of puzzles. You can't even find puzzles at Walmart, believe it or not.

00:25:20.200 Like because everyone's bought them. Everybody's buying them. Yeah. I'm like these weekend warrior

00:25:25.500 puzzlers. Like they only do it when it's convenient. We've been doing it forever. Even when it's not

00:25:30.380 convenient. We're OG puzzle makers. That's right, man. Don't you forget it. So you better leave some

00:25:35.740 puzzles here for us. Uh, but I do like the date night idea. That's cool. Yeah, that's great.

00:25:43.120 I, uh, he said something on here that I was, uh, nah, I can't remember. Are you censoring his

00:25:48.660 comments? No, no, no, no. I was, uh, well, I was going to make some comment. I can't remember what

00:25:53.860 it was. Something about exceeding expectations. Yeah. All right. Robert Thompson, what is your

00:25:59.580 perspective on what it means to find yourself and can it happen multiple times throughout a multiple

00:26:05.340 times throughout one's life? There is no finding yourself. Like you're not hidden, right? Like

00:26:13.080 if you want to fight, like, think about that. If you're trying to find something, it means it's

00:26:17.040 been hidden or it's lost or like, it's just out there and you just have to find it. Yeah.

00:26:22.100 That's not how it works. And you don't find yourself. You create yourself. Yeah. And it has

00:26:27.680 find yourself almost has a final destination to it. We talked about this the other day. It's like

00:26:32.500 doing something perfect versus seeking excellence. Right. It's like, yeah, if someone's perfect,

00:26:38.300 then it's like a final destination. It's over. Once you reach it and yourself kind of has that

00:26:42.260 same connotation where it's like, Oh, I found myself. I'm done. It's like, well then not only

00:26:46.940 that, but yes, you're right. But it's also like this, this idea that there's like some sort of destiny

00:26:51.660 that like, once you find who you're meant to be, I don't buy into that. Yeah. Like I don't buy into

00:26:57.800 that every day you get to remake yourself every single day by your actions, by your choices,

00:27:03.640 by your hobbies, the people you spend time with what you do for work, how you engage with your

00:27:07.340 community and family members and neighbors every single day, you have an opportunity to remake

00:27:11.040 yourself. I mean, we're talking about the guitar earlier. Like I'm not a guitar player. Like there

00:27:16.140 wasn't some divine destiny that I pick up a guitar and that I become the world's greatest guitarist.

00:27:21.820 It's just, I happen to think it's cool. And like, I wanted to try it. And so I'm,

00:27:25.600 I'm playing and so I'm redefining in a very small way by playing the guitar, but I'm redefining today

00:27:31.520 who I am right now. Yeah. So I don't, I don't buy into the notion of like, Oh, you get to find

00:27:37.160 yourself. And people might say, you're talking about semantics. No words, words matter. Words

00:27:40.680 are important. And finding is much more passive than articulating than defining, creating. These are

00:27:48.320 the words that I choose to use for stepping into the type of man that I have a capability of becoming.

00:27:53.960 It's just potential right now. And every day I get to decide, am I going to move forward? Am I going

00:27:58.920 to expand and grow and excel? Or am I going to, going to fall behind? You know, but that's, that's

00:28:04.240 up to me. And it's not some external source or just some happenstance or luck that I trip over who

00:28:09.440 I'm supposed to be. It's me actually taking some steps in the right direction. My guy, like

00:28:14.920 podcasting, like I really feel like this is, this is a calling for me. This is something that's very,

00:28:20.980 very important for me, but like, I didn't just find it. Oh, bright light. I should be

00:28:25.860 a podcaster. That's, that's what I meant to do. No, like I had to start a podcast and

00:28:31.880 I had to figure it out. And then the podcast I was doing wasn't the conversations I wanted

00:28:36.460 to continue to have. So I needed to pivot and then have these conversations and then

00:28:40.080 evolve and expand my ability to interview and then do this third podcast, the ask me anything.

00:28:44.780 And then the second podcast, which was the Friday field notes, like you evolve, you grow,

00:28:49.440 you recreate, you redefine who you are through your actions. Yeah. I like a John Gary Bishop uses the

00:28:56.480 word exploring, you know, and I kind of like that because it has a sense of like create a curiosity

00:29:03.880 to life, like exploring what might work for you or passions and hobbies and just constantly exploring

00:29:09.640 even knowledge. Right. And as a little bit of that find your, you know, finding things, uh, within

00:29:15.120 there, but. And sometimes when you're exploring too, I like that word because you don't even know

00:29:19.140 what you're looking for. In fact, you aren't looking for anything sometimes like I'm just out

00:29:22.540 exploring. What does that mean? It just means you're out like seeing what you can see. And I think that

00:29:27.400 should be life is that, Oh, I'm interested in picking up the guitar. Cool. Go to, go to the pawn shop

00:29:34.420 and pick up a $50 guitar and go do it. And if you find out you don't like it, then, okay, well you

00:29:39.740 were exploring. There wasn't some preconceived thing that you were trying to accomplish. You were

00:29:44.300 just exploring. Or, um, I think of David Rossiter or not in, in the, uh, in the iron council. And

00:29:50.220 years ago he started, I don't know if he's been drawing for a long time, but years ago I saw that

00:29:54.580 he was doing more of it. And I saw some things on Instagram today, like his, his art is getting

00:30:00.180 better and better and better. And I imagine at some point he's like, I'm just exploring it. Oh,

00:30:04.540 that looks fun. And he tried it and he developed it. Right. And it gets better and improves.

00:30:08.560 So I do like the idea of the concept of exploring. It's cool. Yeah. Right. Clint McKynes. How was 75

00:30:16.120 hard coming along for you? It has been, uh, what has been the hardest about it? My wife and I are on day

00:30:22.220 64. I've dropped fat, gained muscle and walk and ran through soles of my shoes, but I've learned,

00:30:29.360 I've always got a bit more left in the tank and my habits can be set in stone if I make them a

00:30:34.700 priority. And for a kip, I miss you and jujitsu. I miss you too, Clint. Oh, that's chill. That's, 0.75

00:30:40.720 that's cute. That's cute. Um, 75 hard was going good until it wasn't. And I restarted. So I'm on day

00:30:48.480 22. Okay. And do you have to restart if you miss a day or I don't know the. Yeah. Yeah. If you miss a

00:30:56.000 day, then you have to restart the entire thing. That sucks. And it was one day I didn't do two

00:31:01.240 workouts is what I failed to do. So it's two workouts, two 45 minute workouts per day. One's

00:31:06.860 got to be outside. Um, it's got to be 120 ounces of, of water. Uh, read 10 pages of a book,

00:31:15.780 take a progress picture. I think I hit them all. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what you have to do every day.

00:31:21.140 It doesn't sound very difficult. The water thing is the hardest for me. Yeah. And every day is what

00:31:26.060 adds, well, I'm, I'm assuming at one point you might find yourself in bed at 10 PM and go

00:31:31.500 crap. I didn't get my other workout in. And literally because of the pressure of having to

00:31:35.960 restart over, you might hop out of bed. Yeah. And I've done that. I've done that. I'm pretty good

00:31:40.320 on the workout stuff. I'm that, that hasn't been too big of an issue. So it's like how it's built

00:31:46.080 upon each on. Yeah. You got to do it every day. It's not enough just to, and this goes back to the

00:31:50.160 first question we addressed. Like it's not enough to do it one day. You have to do it every single

00:31:54.360 day. So it's easy when you're hopped up and you're excited about it. It's hard when you're like,

00:31:58.500 uh, but that's where it counts. I read a great quote. I think it was by Muhammad Ali and I'm

00:32:04.120 going to, I'm going to butcher it, but he said something to the effect of he doesn't, he doesn't

00:32:08.860 start when he's exercising. He doesn't start counting until it hurts because it doesn't, it doesn't do

00:32:16.000 anything before it hurts. Yeah. The other one's just a warmup. It's only when it hurts, does he

00:32:20.340 start actually counting how many he's doing? I love that. That's, that's a really, I'm going to,

00:32:25.420 I want to, I want to read it again. I want to read it verbatim here. Hold on. I like that.

00:32:29.000 Cause it's actually really cool. Like it's, Oh, hold on. Let me, let me find it. So maybe next time

00:32:34.160 I'm, I'm catching someone in like a heel hook. I'll be like when they tap. Yeah. It doesn't count.

00:32:38.460 No, no, no, no. It doesn't count. You got to count three seconds. You have to wait until you feel pain

00:32:42.280 before you can start tapping. It said, he says, yeah, it's Muhammad Ali. He says, I don't count

00:32:48.180 my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. When I feel pain, that's when I start

00:32:52.840 counting because that's when it really counts. Yeah. I like that. I like it a lot better. I like

00:32:57.960 your version better. Yeah. Well, you know, you should just, I get that a lot. I just, I just steal

00:33:02.660 people's quotes, make them my own. I'm like, yeah, I said that I created that. Well, I just said it.

00:33:07.020 You heard me. It's right there. It's all it's, it's in the podcasting world. Like it's there for

00:33:11.380 eternity. Now it's mine. Yeah, that's cool. I like that. All right. Evan Berwick, uh, what tools

00:33:17.460 and systems do you use to prioritize and execute on tasks, tasks that pop up in the day during the

00:33:23.420 quarantine period? I seem to have a lot more small tasks that jump up. Could this be a lack of effective

00:33:28.300 planning or oversight? Also, which of the new achievements are you most excited about to

00:33:33.120 complete? Um, I just use my battle planner. Like people ask all the time, like what systems pop up

00:33:38.900 and you immediately grab your planner and you write it in. And I just write it in. It's over

00:33:42.360 here. Otherwise I'd grab it and show you guys, but I just write it in. And then I look at it and I'm

00:33:47.060 like, okay, what is the most important thing that I do right now? That, okay. I do that. And then I

00:33:53.120 finish it or get as far as I can. Like I can't finish everything all the time. So I get as far as I can.

00:33:57.520 And then I look at it, the list again, I'm like, okay, what's the next most important thing?

00:34:01.380 Whether it pops up or whether it's planned, it doesn't matter.

00:34:03.600 It doesn't matter. I just look at it one, just one at a time. What's the most important thing

00:34:09.760 that I do right now? That is cool. Do that. Then when it's done, ask yourself again, what's the next

00:34:14.540 most important thing that cool. Do it again. The reason I actually liked that system is because

00:34:18.920 things changed throughout the day, right? Like I might get a phone call or, or have an appointment

00:34:23.700 or a potential podcast that comes up that wasn't initially planned for. And so if I plan it methodically

00:34:28.720 and, and, and meticulously each and every day, then it allows for no flexibility based on external

00:34:34.400 circumstances that are beyond my control. So this is part of the concept and idea of adapting and

00:34:39.560 overcoming. Like you need to be able to adapt. And in order to do that, you have to give yourself

00:34:43.200 some margin and space to be able to adapt when the situation calls for it. So I'm not pinned.

00:34:49.140 There's certain things I'm pinned to. Like we, we record this podcast at 1130.

00:34:53.760 Yeah. Appointments. Yeah. Yes. And then there's other things that I'm not pinned to. So I'm going to

00:34:58.200 write a couple of emails for our battle, battle readiness program this afternoon. I don't know

00:35:02.820 if I'm going to do it right after we get off this, off this call, or if I'm going to do it in two

00:35:06.360 hours. It just depends on when we get done with this call, my answering the question, what is the

00:35:11.260 next most important thing to do right now? Yeah, I like it. Well, and the only thing I'd add is you

00:35:17.100 got Stephen Covey's quadrants. I forgot what he calls those quadrants, the four quadrants, but like,

00:35:22.520 I think understanding the distinction between urgent and important and not urgent important is important.

00:35:28.200 Yes. To understand. Right. So then that way you're like, yeah, this is important, but it's not

00:35:32.200 urgent. So it can be scheduled if it's urgent and important, then obviously it needs to happen. Now

00:35:37.360 one, one area I fall, and maybe you have some, some tactic around this Ryan is it's kind of funny.

00:35:44.320 I will schedule time to do my email because one could almost just have a full-time job, like

00:35:50.020 emails, right? You got to batch those things. Yeah. So I'm trying to batch it. And it's funny because

00:35:54.540 I'll read the email, consume and understand the email. And if there's an action item coming out

00:36:00.840 of it, my, my tendency used to be like, well, I don't have time for that right now. But the irony

00:36:06.260 is it's ineffective for me to put it off to the side and have to reread that and go through the

00:36:14.380 mental process of understanding the action item versus just addressing it in the moment. And so

00:36:19.400 I've started saying, okay, if I'm, and I'm using email as an example, if I read this email

00:36:25.100 and I understand, and it required some, you know, brain cycles to like comprehend an action item.

00:36:31.120 If the action takes less than like a few minutes, I just do it right then because it's actually less

00:36:37.960 effective for me to put it off to the side and then come back to it, rehash through it and then

00:36:42.940 execute. And so I, I, but it's a balance, right? Because then I could get wrapped up and just

00:36:48.180 do emails the entire time as well. So it's, yeah, just don't even look if you're not going to do it.

00:36:53.740 Exactly. But that's kind of been a rule. It's like, if I can tackle or address this within a few

00:36:57.920 minutes, I do it immediately right now. So it's off my table. It's not like this overhanging item

00:37:03.340 that I now have to document and execute later at another time. Yeah. There's a concept in lean

00:37:08.740 manufacturing. And I learned this from Pete with origin and he shared with me, you don't ever want to

00:37:13.720 touch things twice. Yeah. That's the whole goal. So for example, like if, um, if I'm filling orders,

00:37:22.320 me and my son are filling orders and then he makes a box and then he just sets a bunch of boxes there.

00:37:29.360 And then I come in after, and then I grabbed the box and I put a shirt in it. That's been folded.

00:37:34.900 You know what I mean? Like you're touching it multiple times. It's not nearly as efficient to make

00:37:40.640 the box, put a shirt in it, make the box, put a shirt in it. So you make it first. You don't touch

00:37:44.440 it twice because every time you touch it, it represents an inefficiency. It's time wasted.

00:37:49.660 So they've actually done studies and research on this, on the effectiveness of how you time this out.

00:37:54.560 So there's that, um, don't touch it twice. There's also a couple of things that I got here is

00:37:59.580 decision fatigue, right? It's like, we, we talked about that a little earlier when you're having to

00:38:05.740 decide what you should be doing and how you're going to be doing it. There's fatigue in that.

00:38:09.700 And then Tim Ferriss introduced me to a concept and I can't remember exactly what he called it,

00:38:14.200 but the concept was, uh, that there's a lot of loss of energy and effectiveness and, and resources

00:38:21.600 when you're transitioning. Yeah. So for example, if we're doing this podcast, it's going to take me

00:38:27.580 a little bit to wrap my head around now going into email mode. And then when I switch from email mode,

00:38:33.820 it's going to take me a second to get over to what, like recording videos, right? So there's the,

00:38:41.640 the transitionary period. So the less transitions you can have, the better. So if you batch your emails,

00:38:48.380 there's a transition on the beginning and the end, and then you go into something else.

00:38:52.560 But if you do an email, then have a conversation, then another email, then record a video,

00:38:58.780 then another email, there's like eight transitions right there. Yeah. And those transitions will wear

00:39:04.920 you down and wreck your day. So you've got to be systematic and you've got to batch those things as

00:39:10.800 best as possible. Yeah. We talk about that a lot with programmers, right? It's like, you can't,

00:39:15.540 you can't be in the depths of writing software and then like, Hey, do you got a second quick

00:39:21.240 questions? Like, dude, you just destroyed 15 minutes of what my thought process was. And it's

00:39:26.820 going to take me 15 more to get back to where I was thinking. And it's just, it destroys productivity,

00:39:32.280 especially that kind of deep work. Right. Yep. Exactly. There you go, Evan. All right. Tim Beck,

00:39:38.760 this may sound a little far out there, but what the hell you said, ask anything. If you could

00:39:44.280 transform into any animal or creature, what would it be and why? What's this called in Harry Potter?

00:39:51.240 I don't know. I'm a nerd. What's the, uh, the person that can switch to an animal. All right.

00:39:58.500 Anyway, someone, I have no idea. Yeah. You know, like if you're a wizard that could transfer

00:40:03.380 into an animal, you're called a certain type of something wizard. Okay. Somebody else can answer

00:40:08.720 that. I don't know what it is. All right. What animal do you want to be? I'll just answer it. It'll be

00:40:13.980 fun. I don't know. A rhinoceros, maybe rhinoceros. They're bad-ass. Like they're armored. They just,

00:40:23.920 they don't let anybody else bother them. They're just like, I'm just going to sit here and do my

00:40:28.180 thing, which is like eating grass. And everybody's going to leave me alone because I've got this big

00:40:33.600 ass horn. And if something bothers me, I'll run it off and then I'll just go back to eating grass and

00:40:38.520 doing my thing. Like that seems like a pretty good life to me unless you're being hunted and for your,

00:40:44.500 for your horn. I just, I just want to be, you know, I just, I'd be an animal that just people

00:40:51.300 leave, leave me alone. Just leave me alone. Human. Maybe that's kind of works out well. Let me, 1.00

00:40:56.300 yeah. Yeah. Cause so many people leave me alone. Um, yeah, I just want to be left alone. Just do my

00:41:01.760 thing. That seems pretty good to me. All right. What would you be? No, what would you be? You're not

00:41:07.860 getting out of it. Dude. I, why I had too many dreams as a kid, like flying. Right. So I'd probably

00:41:13.340 enjoy being a, I'd like to be an Eagle. An Eagle. There you go. I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to be

00:41:19.780 a bird or any sort of fish or any, cause I don't like flying and I don't like swimming. Yeah. You'd

00:41:24.720 be stuck in the water all the time. I just want to be a rhinoceros. All right. I don't know why it

00:41:33.840 sounds funny, but yeah, I don't know. I don't think it's funny, but whatever.

00:41:37.860 Maybe that's why it's funny. Cause it's not right. Yeah. All right. Brad Schmidt cold showers.

00:41:45.300 Now that you live far North, do you use some hot water in your mix or do you still run straight

00:41:50.540 cold? Do you run straight cold? No. Brad's like thinking you're way tougher than you are. He's

00:41:56.040 like, man, Ryan's going straight cold all the time. You're like, I've never done that in my life.

00:42:00.020 I've never done that. I, I, uh, I'm assuming you have that one. Yeah, I have. I have,

00:42:06.000 I did some Wim Hof stuff and I've done the cold water and cold exposure. I hiked, I hiked this

00:42:11.600 mountain. What, what's that waterfall? Is it Timpanogos or there's a waterfall. Is that where

00:42:16.440 it is? Timpanogos? Where we went and you got brain freeze? Yes. Water. Yeah. I hiked up there

00:42:21.840 in a snow storm with just my boots and swim shorts on. Yeah. With your speedo. Yeah. No,

00:42:30.880 no speedo. But Steve Weatherford had his thong on and that was interesting to say the least.

00:42:38.340 Uh, but no, it was fun. It was a lot of fun, but I didn't get in the water that time. No, I,

00:42:42.240 I'm, I don't do like the, I occasionally I'll do a cold shower and I'll just gradually ease into it.

00:42:48.660 So people were like, Oh, now that you're in Maine, I'm like, we, yeah. Like we still the same

00:42:55.420 person. Yeah. It's still 2020. Like we didn't go back in time to like the 1400s. Like, it's funny

00:43:02.760 because people say that like, now that you're in Maine, do you have indoor plumbing? I'm like,

00:43:07.220 yeah, they do have indoor plumbing in Maine still, you know? There's a store and everything.

00:43:13.820 Are you going to survive the winter? Yeah. With the other one and a half million people that live

00:43:19.600 in the state, like we'll be okay. People have a very interesting thought of, of Maine. So yeah,

00:43:26.800 we still have hot water in Maine inside. It's pretty cool. We have electricity. Like I don't have to go

00:43:32.180 light the candles at night and it's kind of nice internet. Internet's a little slower, but you know,

00:43:37.440 I can still talk with you guys. Yeah. Yeah. No, I do. I do. I do cold showers occasionally. And if I

00:43:43.500 do, I just ease into it. Okay. There you go. Eric Goetz, how optimistic are you that the economy

00:43:50.420 turbulence from COVID-19 will cause more families to examine how they spend their money and to be

00:43:56.100 better prepared for future economic hardships by building an emergency savings fund?

00:44:00.320 I'm, I'm a hundred percent confident that a percentage of people will do that.

00:44:08.040 That's all I can say, man. Like there's going to be, people will learn. Yeah. And that's great.

00:44:13.420 You know, that's good. They'll be in a hard situation or they'll kind of wake up cause they'll

00:44:16.320 see somebody else in their, in their family or their circle, go through a difficult time and think,

00:44:20.040 oh man, I better do something about this. And then there's going to be those who don't do anything

00:44:25.340 because they either voluntarily choose not to, cause they have to exert themselves or because

00:44:30.360 the government gave them enough that they weren't forced or compelled. Yeah. Or they think that

00:44:36.960 somebody else will rescue them if anything bad happens or they're just not as impacted by what's

00:44:42.960 going on that it causes them any sort of contemplative reflection about their life. And if that's the

00:44:49.300 case, that's good. That's not a bad thing. So yeah, I'm confident that some people will improve

00:44:54.400 and I'm confident that other people won't. Aaron had a follow-up question to that. He says,

00:44:59.360 how many months of living expenses do you think a family should have in an emergency fund and any

00:45:04.660 other financial words of wisdom that you would provide? I mean, at a minimum, I would say three

00:45:10.420 minimum. Three months. Three months of expenses. All expenses paid. Yeah. And I'm not talking about

00:45:15.940 investing. Yeah. Yeah. Just expenses. So that would be skimmed down from your normal income. And,

00:45:22.460 and I'm not talking about investing. I'm talking about money, savings set aside there. It's

00:45:27.800 available. But I would say ideally six months, six to 12 months is where you should be. Now,

00:45:33.300 I wouldn't suggest that if you have 12 months reserves, that all of it being savings earning

00:45:38.080 0%. But I think at a minimum, if you're, if you're on that lower end, that you should have three months

00:45:44.020 of expenses in a savings account. So, you know, if you're making five grand or if your expenses are,

00:45:49.020 let's say they're, yeah, I don't know, five, five grand a month, let's say, or, or lower. I don't

00:45:53.320 know. Let's just say five for easy math. Then yeah, you should have 15,000 set aside. If you can

00:45:58.120 have 30,000, that's probably better. You know, they're now you're at six months. I would say you,

00:46:03.500 you ideally want to get up to six to 12 months. And at six months, I would probably maybe even

00:46:10.160 slightly earlier, consider some conservative, broadly diversified mutual funds outside of

00:46:18.560 your savings. Have you done any of those, those online, I don't even know what they're called.

00:46:23.140 Like robo advisors? No, online, online saving accounts that actually give you a decent percentage,

00:46:28.920 but it's not like tied to a bank. They're just like online savings.

00:46:31.660 Yeah. I think like allied has one, ing had one that I was using for a while. You can get like

00:46:36.840 three to 4%. Um, yeah, yeah. Just be aware of those. They might tie your money up for a certain

00:46:41.420 period of time. Similarly, like a CD would, uh, I see you can't just access it. Some of them you can,

00:46:47.960 some of you can't, you just want to make sure you look at the terms and conditions and make sure that

00:46:51.060 if you need your money, you have access to it. So I would, I mean, yeah, that's, that's good for

00:46:56.220 some money set aside, but you know, go from savings to investing, like legitimate investing.

00:47:00.440 And I'm not talking about picking stocks, talking about broadly diversified, low turnover mutual

00:47:06.980 funds. Yeah. And anyone that's doing investing, uh, at least from my perspective, like this downturn,

00:47:12.860 we have to keep in mind, right. When, when the, when the stock market takes a dump and I'm still

00:47:17.960 making the same investment each month. Yeah. You're getting it on discount up. I'm like, Ooh. Yeah.

00:47:23.820 Like what most people do. Nice. And this is weird because like, let's say you, you wanted a,

00:47:30.440 a new car. You want this, like this brand. It's not a great example. Let's say you want a new

00:47:36.540 computer. All right. Let's say you want a new computer. A PC. Yeah. Yeah. Well, okay. And,

00:47:43.040 and you want to, you want a PC cause whatever. And then you wait, not for it to go on sale,

00:47:49.280 but you wait. And then when it's marked up 20%, you're like, yes, it's time to buy.

00:47:55.500 And then you go buy that thousand dollar computer for $1,200. And then next week when it's $800,

00:48:03.500 then you're like, Oh, it's $800. I'm going to sell this. And so you sell it for $800.

00:48:09.900 And then you took a $400 loss. And then you you're like, Oh, but now I need a new computer.

00:48:17.000 I'm going to wait till it goes up to 1500. I'm going to buy it again.

00:48:21.980 Like we laugh. Cause it sounds stupid and it is stupid. If you're doing that in the market,

00:48:28.120 you are being a moron. You are allowing your emotions and that's what it is. You are allowing

00:48:33.600 your emotions to get the better of you. When things are high, you're like, Oh, buy the market's

00:48:38.260 awesome. I'm going to buy. Yeah. Yeah. Cause you're greedy. It's what we call greed. Okay.

00:48:45.220 And then when it's low, you're like, Oh, it's going to bottom out. There's no floor. Like it's

00:48:51.380 just going to bottom out and completely collapse. And every look, if the market collapses, you have

00:48:55.500 more to worry about than your money in the market. Like we're, we're in a bad, bad situation. All

00:49:02.080 right. Buy it when it's on sale, when that thousand dollar computer is $800, then you buy

00:49:08.240 it. And when it's at 1200, that's when you sell it. And then you go buy it for $900 and sell it for

00:49:13.620 15 and then buy it a thousand and sell it for 18. It's, it's math people. It's math. Your emotions

00:49:21.840 are creating all sorts of problems in your, your finances. I get it. We're, we're cause our,

00:49:30.000 our biggest, our biggest motivating factors. As far as emotions go are fear and greed,

00:49:37.420 fear and greed. I'm greedy. I'm going to buy now where it's high and it's going to keep going and

00:49:41.900 you lose your ass on it. Or I'm afraid I'm going to sell it all when I shouldn't. And I'm going to

00:49:47.400 realize that loss. I think Warren Buffett was asked, or somebody was asked, some prolific investor was

00:49:52.280 asked during the 2008, 2009, great recession. How much money did you lose in the market? He says,

00:49:58.820 I didn't lose anything. I didn't sell anything. Cause that's all it is in the market. It's

00:50:03.960 unrealized loss. If you sell it, you just realized all that loss. Yeah. Not a great position to be in.

00:50:11.080 Same thing with the same thing with real estate. People are like, Oh, in 2008 and we had, we had

00:50:15.880 properties in 2008. How much did you lose? Oh, we lost our ass. I didn't lose anything. Cause I didn't

00:50:20.740 sell my house. Yeah. It's still an asset. It's still an asset. It's not only that it's even the

00:50:27.320 number that it's worth. Let's say it's valued at $300,000. That's just a random number. It's not

00:50:31.940 even worth $300,000. It's worth whatever somebody will buy it for when you decide to sell it. And

00:50:37.480 when they decide to buy it, that $300,000 in this case is just a placeholder. That's all it is.

00:50:43.200 It doesn't mean anything. It just means that if you sell it now, somebody will likely buy it for

00:50:48.600 $300,000. But if you sell it tomorrow, it might be $297,000. It might be $305,000. Yeah. Unrealized.

00:50:54.620 Right. Got it. Got it. All right. Sorry. I was checking the questions on the Facebook. All right.

00:51:01.980 On the Facebook. Tyson Junkers, are you planning on any new merchandise? I'd be the first to order

00:51:08.360 a plaid order man button down shirt or even better yet a hatchet. A hatchet would be cool. I've got

00:51:16.300 some plans for some things there. Probably won't be doing any like sort of plaid button up because it

00:51:21.640 seems like we just have to buy that and then just slap our logo on there, which like, I don't know

00:51:25.540 if that's real compelling or even all that enticing for me. So probably, probably won't do that,

00:51:32.200 but we've got hats. We've got shirts. The hatchet thing is a cool idea. We've got some stuff coming

00:51:37.900 there. Yeah. Decals, battle planners, that sort of thing. So yeah, we do. We always have new,

00:51:42.520 I've got a new hat that should be here hopefully this week, a new hat designs, two new iterations

00:51:46.840 of it. So it's going to be cool. Cool. All right. George Sykes, what do you see the lockdowns

00:51:52.600 progressing? How do you see the lockdowns progressing? We'll start opening up businesses

00:51:59.180 slowly. Some States will lead the charge while others lag behind because they're a little delusional

00:52:03.960 about the way that this works and they've got ulterior motives. And then eventually the States

00:52:09.980 that are lagging behind to the people that live in those States will be so fed up that they'll

00:52:14.080 either decide to open up regardless, or they'll finally wake up and vote new people into office

00:52:20.940 who are rational and sane and logical, and we'll gradually get the entire economy opened back up.

00:52:29.260 All right. Anonymous. We don't get these very often. This might be like the second anonymous.

00:52:34.980 Did they send you a text or how do you... Remember how this happened last time I read

00:52:38.780 the person's name? Oh, and at the end they're like, please don't read this out loud.

00:52:43.020 Like, ah, would have been good information to do that ahead of time.

00:52:46.820 Yeah. So this guy say, please keep this anonymous. So Mr. Anonymous, here you go.

00:52:52.240 Well, hey, I mean, look, you just whittled out 50% of the population by calling him Mr. Anonymous.

00:53:00.000 I mean, how dare you do that, Kip?

00:53:01.780 Yeah. That's belittling. Yeah. Okay. My connection objective this quarter is to propose

00:53:09.660 to my girlfriend. Struggling to come up with measurable daily tactics, what are some things

00:53:14.920 I can do to make sure I'm staying on the right track to achieve this goal?

00:53:20.160 Look, proposing to your girlfriend is a weak objective. I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm not

00:53:29.640 saying you shouldn't propose. I'm not saying that it isn't a good thing. I'm just saying like,

00:53:34.080 is it really an objective? Like propose to my girlfriend? No, it's not an objective. Like

00:53:40.780 you just do that any day. I'm not saying you shouldn't think about it and put some thought

00:53:44.740 into it. So I'm just saying you're overthinking this one is proposing to your girlfriend is not

00:53:49.800 a worthy objective. It's just not. Cause it's just one action. It's going to take you five minutes.

00:53:55.560 She's probably going to say yes. And then it's done. So if you're thinking about like with your

00:54:01.120 battle plan, you got to come up with a new objective. Like I want to buy a home so that when

00:54:07.980 my girlfriend and I do get hitched, we'll have a place to live. Okay. That's better. Right.

00:54:14.740 And so, so yeah, that, that's my opinion is asking, asking her to marry you is not, is not,

00:54:21.260 it's a worthy thing. It's a great thing. I don't want to diminish the importance of what you're

00:54:25.640 doing. It's just not a great objective for the battle plan. And, and keep in mind, right. When

00:54:30.480 we say objective, we're saying, what is the objective after 12 weeks of daily tactics? Right.

00:54:38.760 Like that doesn't even work into that framework, right? There's nothing you're going to do on a

00:54:43.320 daily basis that is eventually going to that all the, all that action is going to be required for

00:54:49.860 you to ask her hand in marriage. Right. Yeah. So just, you know, that's still a great thing,

00:54:54.660 but just don't make that the objective. It's not, it's not an, it's not a battle plan objective,

00:54:58.460 but there might be something else. So think a little bit deeper on that. Um, you know, maybe it's the

00:55:04.600 type of relationship you want to have. Maybe you guys want to move. Maybe you need to secure a

00:55:08.020 promotion before you ask her. Uh, maybe you need to finish college. And again, you're anonymous,

00:55:13.520 so I don't know, but maybe you need to finish like college before you ask her or whatever,

00:55:17.160 whatever the thing is that could be a more reasonable objective that leads up to you asking

00:55:23.000 her. Yeah. But I think you ought to reconsider your objective for, for what was it for connection or

00:55:30.340 what was it? Uh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Reconsider that one. Okay, cool. All right. We're going to

00:55:36.980 Facebook. You want to do a couple in here and yeah, let's take a couple more in there and then

00:55:40.240 let's go for about, I don't know, 10 minutes or so. Okay. Uh, this is these questions coming from

00:55:45.660 our Facebook group, facebook.com slash group slash order of man, Ryan, uh, alphabet during this

00:55:52.880 pandemic, how do you balance fighting for your rights, freedom to move about opening up protests,

00:55:58.420 et cetera, while also being informed and cognitive of science and doctors recommendations to stay in

00:56:04.540 for the health and safety of yourself and others? Yeah. I don't, I don't actually really buy into

00:56:10.340 the, the, the health and safety side a little bit. Not completely. No, I mean, look what we're

00:56:18.440 finding out. And I said this weeks ago, I think I actually said on this podcast, we're finding out

00:56:22.320 that this is marginally worse than the flu. Yeah. So yeah. Is there a risk? Yes, of course. And,

00:56:29.680 and it's real. And there are people, if you're older, if your immune system is compromised, if

00:56:34.700 you're dealing with health issues, then you ought to think twice about going out and, and being like

00:56:40.080 that. Um, but I, I'm not, I haven't bought into the whole idea that everybody needs to shelter in

00:56:45.880 place and nobody can talk to each other and nobody can go outside. And like, you can still social

00:56:50.360 distance responsibly. You can still be smart. You can wash your hands. You can have hand sanitizer.

00:56:55.400 You can keep from going to places where there's a lot of people. Like you can do all of that and

00:57:00.620 still believe in the data and the things that are being put out there. But yeah, I get frustrated

00:57:07.660 when I hear people say like, Oh, if you go out, like you're a science denier. No, it's just, I know

00:57:12.400 what the data is, what they've told us. And I'm willing to shoulder that risk. That's it.

00:57:19.200 That's it. And we do it all the time anyway, whether you realize it or not. Yeah. You're doing this

00:57:24.260 every day. You're, you're, you're playing a balance act of, is it worth the risk?

00:57:28.460 Well, look, here's a great example, everything. Exactly. You get in your car every day,

00:57:32.800 every day, right? You get in your car. Well, there's a likelihood that you're going to get

00:57:36.640 in a horrific crash and you're going to be killed or somebody else is going to be killed. And yet you

00:57:40.900 individually, and we collectively as a society have decided we've agreed, mutually agreed that

00:57:46.580 we're okay with that level of risk in order to get to work, in order to have experiences and do all

00:57:53.080 the things that we want to do. Same thing with flying in the plane or whatever, anything has a

00:57:58.560 level of risk and whether you realize it or acknowledge the risk or not, it doesn't mean

00:58:04.220 it isn't there. It's there. Same thing with this, this coronavirus stuff. It's, there's a risk,

00:58:11.840 but the risk is low for young, healthy individuals. Yeah. If you get it and you don't have pre,

00:58:18.780 pre-existing conditions, you have a 99% point something chance. Yeah. Better than that. Right.

00:58:24.460 Exactly. Exactly. Live. Right. Josh Yoder. You might not even get it. Right. So. Yeah. Josh Yoder,

00:58:33.000 using the tactics of allowing someone to fail, to learn how to become better the next time,

00:58:38.980 how far is too far for a young man? In your experience, have you found more success,

00:58:44.340 success with coaching through their failure or the after action discussion with them on what went

00:58:50.060 wrong and how to improve with a young man? It's taken too far when it's dangerous, like physically

00:58:57.640 dangerous or emotionally, mentally. There's a lot of other aspects of that, but yeah, when it's

00:59:02.260 dangerous, like at some point, okay, it's gone too far. They're, they are in real risk and peril

00:59:09.500 right now. So that's the point where you ought to step in and, or it is producing the unintended

00:59:17.100 consequence. So like you always hear about dads who were too hard on their sons and then what are

00:59:22.440 daughters or whoever, and then what do they do? They rebel and they do the exact opposite of what

00:59:27.760 the father is trying to teach them. That means that his strategy was taken too far. It was taken to the

00:59:32.400 extreme and it's producing an unintended consequence. Like it's not working. It's not working.

00:59:38.120 Yeah. So whether, whether that tactic maybe even worked on another kid, it's obviously not working

00:59:44.320 on that kid. So right. Right. Exactly. That's why you talked about it. The after action review is so

00:59:49.200 important. Did what I do because a lot of times, and look, I'm guilty of this is we might react or

00:59:56.280 lash out towards children in, in an emotional space, right? We're, we're, we're being emotional,

01:00:03.740 we're pissed off or bothered or whatever, or impatient. That's, that's not a conscious thought

01:00:09.500 of like, I need to say this thing. I need to have this conversation. I need to react this way

01:00:14.820 in order to produce a desired result. It means you're not being intentional. And I've done that.

01:00:19.860 And then I go back after and I'm like, Oh man, I lashed out in an emotional response. And what I wanted

01:00:25.800 to have happen was for my son to do X, Y, and Z. And because I lashed out emotionally, not only did

01:00:33.200 he not do X, Y, and Z, I undermined the next time that I want him to do X, Y, and Z. Cause now he's,

01:00:40.820 I just, I just chipped away a little bit at my trust, credibility, and authority by doing it like

01:00:45.760 that. So give yourself the space and the margin to think about it in a different way, to respond with

01:00:51.380 intentionality. And then ask yourself is, if this is producing the desired result, that's important.

01:00:56.540 And am I putting him in or her in a dangerous, uh, situation that could potentially harm him

01:01:04.380 physically, mentally, emotionally. Okay. There you go, Josh, Keith Davis. Now that you and your family

01:01:11.640 have made it through a main winter survived, how does it compare? Yeah. How does it compare to a winter

01:01:17.520 in Utah? Is there anything that you encountered that you weren't prepared for and that you would

01:01:22.300 plan for in following winters? Uh, it was colder. That's then more snow. That's it. I mean,

01:01:28.380 it look at, and, and here it's, it was a, according to all, all the people who live here,

01:01:33.280 it was a very mild, mild winter for us. So we didn't get a lot of snow. It wasn't like super cold.

01:01:40.360 I mean, maybe a couple of days it got into the negatives, but it just, it was, I actually thought

01:01:45.700 it was way less than what I expected. Yeah. You, you thought it was going to be a lot worse.

01:01:51.080 Yeah. Oh, for sure. Yeah. So we got a plow and we got the generator. We only use the generator once

01:01:57.760 and it was actually after winter was over. Cause there was a big wind storm. Um, I got the plow

01:02:02.740 for the truck. That was something I'd never done before. I mean, we, we did it to me. Like I look at

01:02:10.220 I'm like, eh, we, we did this. We did it right. We got the heating system taken care of. We got the

01:02:14.080 generator taken care of. I work from home, so I didn't need to go out when it was storming.

01:02:19.840 My wife didn't need to go out. The kids are homeschooled. We got the plow on the truck. 0.97

01:02:25.120 We got a snowblower. We've got kids to shovel. Like we're good. Yeah. And you would probably

01:02:30.680 are felt prepared for next winter. Cause it was well. Yeah, I do. I don't, I don't, I don't think

01:02:35.640 there's anything. The one thing I would do and we are going to do is put in a wood burning stove.

01:02:40.600 Cause I think that'd be nice to have just another alternative to, to heat. So yeah.

01:02:46.320 Cool. Tyler Smith, what are some of your favorite body weight exercises for a quick workout?

01:02:52.880 Um, burpees, pushups, sit-ups, mountain climbers, pull-ups. If you have something to pull on,

01:03:00.720 those are my go-tos. Yeah. I've added, um, uh, swimmer pushups where you do a pushup

01:03:10.040 and then you're in the plank position, you extend one arm overhead, uh, the opposite leg

01:03:16.620 and you pause for a second. Oh yeah. Plank a pushup. And then the other side really like

01:03:21.780 gets your core engaged. Yeah. There's a nice way to add to that pushup. Yeah. Yeah. There's, um,

01:03:28.160 it's kind of sounds like a, what I've heard of is like a Spider-Man pushup. Have you seen those?

01:03:32.720 Yep. Yep. Is it like that? It's, I think it's considered the same. I think it's the same thing.

01:03:36.620 Yeah. So, so those are good. I like doing, in fact, when I do pushups, even if my wife and I

01:03:40.640 are watching a show at night, I'll do like sets of 20 and I'll do wide arm pushups, normal pushups,

01:03:49.160 Spider-Man pushups on one side, Spider-Man pushups on the other side. And then I'll just keep rotating

01:03:53.900 through there and I can crank out like 200 pushups while we're sitting there watching a show.

01:03:57.840 Yeah. Lift one leg. Yeah. Do all kinds of stuff. Yeah. Blindfolded pushups, blindfolded.

01:04:03.560 Yeah. That's, that's how, you know, you're, you've reached the echelon of pushups.

01:04:08.780 Dare you guys to try that. Yeah. Try that. Or, or, or you can teach your kids how to do an atomic sit

01:04:14.880 up. It's kind of fun. What's an atomic sit up? You don't know what an atomic sit up is. I'm not

01:04:19.760 telling you what an atomic sit up is. Next time you come out here, we're going to, we're going to see

01:04:24.400 if you can do an atomic sit up. All right. But I'm going to do my research before it's like

01:04:28.880 snipe hunting or something. Just make sure that your, your, your internet browser is on,

01:04:34.340 on safe or moderate when you look into atomic sit up.

01:04:38.600 Copy. Oh, that's funny. All right. Uh, one more. Yeah. One more. All right. Uh,

01:04:44.780 Traer Morgan, what mental strategies do you employ when beginning and maintaining a new hobby?

01:04:50.020 I'm 39 and decided to take up hunting, particularly Turkey this spring and then deer in the fall. My dad

01:04:55.440 took me deer hunting a few times as a kid, but I never made time for it. As I got older,

01:05:00.540 I would make time to go fishing in the summer, but not hunting. I see this time during the pandemic

01:05:05.940 is a good opportunity to start making time for it. I feel like a total newbie. And although it is

01:05:11.300 understandable mentally, I feel like I should be more of an expert, uh, at this stage of my life.

01:05:17.760 What mental strategies do you use to get past their early discouragement when learning something new?

01:05:22.560 Um, so you're putting a lot of expectations on yourself and that's creating a lot of problems

01:05:27.320 for you. I mean, expectations are great. Like you should have an expectation of improving and being

01:05:33.120 good, but they should be internal expectations, not external expectations, right? Cause sometimes

01:05:39.480 the turkeys just don't come out and you can't make them come out. My son and I are actually

01:05:45.480 experiencing that right now for the last couple of days. Like we can't find the turkeys.

01:05:48.720 So I wrote down three things here as far as mindset. Number one, have a curious mindset.

01:05:55.560 Like just be curious. Hey, I'm curious about how this works. How do turkeys work? Like,

01:05:59.520 what do they call to? What do they respond to? Uh, what kind of decoys should I use? Who do I know

01:06:04.240 in this area? I could ask good questions about hunting. Just be completely curious. That's mindset.

01:06:09.400 Number one, mindset. Number two, have low expectations. Like you don't need to have any

01:06:14.780 expectations of yourself. Like, Hey, I'm just going to enjoy this. I'm going to go out there.

01:06:17.680 I'm going to do it. I'm going to try it. I'm going to, I'm going to try to be the best I can be.

01:06:21.480 I'm going to learn everything I need to learn. And then I'm just going to let the chips fall where

01:06:24.080 they may. And that's it. Like, just, just let it ride. Just have fun with it. And then the third

01:06:28.980 one is have the mindset of mastery that your goal is to become a master. Like I think about this with

01:06:34.580 jujitsu to me, when I, when I trained jujitsu, it's not enough to like throw a Kimura on somebody.

01:06:42.200 It's like, did I have my thumb in the right position when I did that?

01:06:48.160 Yeah.

01:06:48.880 Right. Or, you know, if somebody does something to me, my attitude isn't like, Oh shit. It's like,

01:06:56.220 Whoa, how did you do that? Yeah.

01:06:59.020 Oh. And then where was your arm and where was I? How did you, I don't even know how you set me up

01:07:02.560 to get that. Like, how did you tee that up? That's the curiosity and it's the mastery.

01:07:07.760 It's not enough to me. It's not enough to be just successful enough. Like I want to be masterful.

01:07:14.260 Like when I'm playing the guitar and I'm, and I'm doing my chords and put my fingers like, yeah,

01:07:19.160 I might hit a note, but I'm like, Oh, you know, I felt one of my finger pads on another string.

01:07:22.880 And it kind of muted that string. Like, am I holding my thumb in the right position?

01:07:26.320 Is my wrist the right way? This is, these are elements of mastery. And if you look at masters,

01:07:30.760 that's what they're focused on. They're focused on doing the seemingly insignificant things,

01:07:36.400 very, very well. So take that into hunting. And then again, when you have that idea of mastery,

01:07:43.060 you're curious about it and you have low expectations, you're just there to participate,

01:07:47.740 to be the best you can be. And, and if interesting and ironically enough, when you're focused like that,

01:07:53.080 the, the progress and the results will start taking care of themselves.

01:07:57.360 Yeah. And I, and I think ego is just sitting there to disrupt all three of those.

01:08:02.660 Oh, for sure. Right. For sure. Because when I think about the jujitsu one, right? The,

01:08:07.100 what is that? Like, Oh shit, I got caught. It's like, that's ego. That's like, Oh, I'm this way.

01:08:11.780 Or I should be better at this says who, right. You, you went as a boy a few times and you haven't

01:08:18.240 gone since like, yeah, you shouldn't be good. Right. Right. That's okay. Like, let go of it.

01:08:23.620 Like, let go of trying to like, you know, like how's this, you, you said this low expectation,

01:08:28.980 I would suggest low expectation, but make sure to deal in reality, like have expectation of yourself,

01:08:36.220 but deal in reality. Don't let the expectation, like make the scenario wrong. Like, Oh, my expectation

01:08:41.360 is I should be great. Yeah. But guess what? You're not. So deal in reality now. Right. And

01:08:46.860 have the expectation to become a master. Right. That's right. But, but deal in the moment.

01:08:51.700 Yeah. I think they all have to work together. Yeah. Like if you just have low expectations of

01:08:57.260 yourself, like you could, it will just talk about the context of jujitsu. Yeah. You could just go in

01:09:01.120 like a dumb ass and piss everybody off and like roll around and flop around and like, yeah. Like

01:09:06.580 think it's a fun thing or something. And, and okay, we had low expectations of yourself, but you didn't

01:09:12.180 have the mastery component of this, of this equation. And so you're, you're just acting like a fool.

01:09:17.880 Yeah. Right. Or the curiosity is like, okay, well I'm going to try to do it correctly and I'm going

01:09:24.520 to have a low expectation of myself. And then you start rolling with somebody like, like you, I'm

01:09:28.560 like, dude, how is he so flexible? Like, how did he get into that, into that position? Because that

01:09:34.200 curiosity will then expand your, your way of thinking and looking at things that you hadn't

01:09:39.880 considered before. So it's not enough just to have low expectations. Cause you might just be a loser.

01:09:44.400 That just makes you a loser. Yeah. You're not going to achieve anything. Right. And then,

01:09:50.300 and then you might just be taking it to that level of humility to the extreme where it's not even

01:09:54.220 serving you. So you got to have those other components, curious, curiosity, mastery, low

01:09:59.540 expectations, realistic, maybe realistic expectations is a better way to say that. Yeah. Yeah. All right,

01:10:06.320 guys, there's your AMA. There it is. Um, hopefully that was good. Leave us some comments on Facebook.
