Guys, you're not going to sedate yourself anymore.
00:00:08.360
You're going to learn how to know what you want,
00:00:11.580
If you do these things, then you don't have to get drunk.
00:00:17.660
because you're excited about the relatively few things
00:00:21.120
you're doing, not apathetic about the incredible amount
00:00:25.360
of things that you're quote unquote supposed to do.
00:00:28.100
I recently saw a statistic that upwards of 40% of men
00:00:36.560
And of those 40% of men who are feeling burned out,
00:00:39.800
up to 83% of them are suggesting that it is negatively impacting
00:00:50.980
And I think the problem stems from the level of apathy
00:00:59.700
with marketing and information and social media accounts
00:01:06.120
that comes into our feed on this stupid little device
00:01:09.180
that is incredible, but also very damaging and destructive
00:01:13.080
if we don't know how to utilize the tool correctly.
00:01:27.300
And we can also crack somebody over the skull with it.
00:01:30.320
And it can become very dangerous unless we know how to temper
00:01:50.840
They don't believe that the government is going to help them,
00:01:55.280
They don't believe people are after their best interest,
00:02:04.260
And I don't care if you're a 18, 19, 20-year-old young man
00:02:14.480
and are not producing the results that you desire,
00:02:22.780
that is permeating every fabric of society for our men.
00:02:45.940
you are bombarded and inundated with marketing messages,
00:02:57.720
that are available to you nonstop all the time.
00:03:02.140
I don't care if it's me sharing something with you
00:03:16.480
Dale Brisby, who I'm having on the podcast soon,
00:03:19.020
Mike Chandler, who I'm also having on the podcast,
00:03:27.500
Like these are guys who I really admire and respect
00:03:30.480
and even myself, I hope you listen to what we're doing,
00:03:59.720
I subscribe to newsletters and there's only so much
00:04:17.380
in your professional life, in your personal life,
00:04:47.480
For me, podcast editing would be soul-sucking to me.
00:05:13.440
I imagine, based on the conversations that we have,
00:05:56.440
I delegated those tasks that I did not want to be doing
00:06:02.440
Doing this podcast, reaching out to potential guests,
00:06:05.220
going out and meeting with people who believe in our mission
00:06:19.720
What are the things that I do on a daily basis?
00:06:50.320
needs to be all the things that you want to do,
00:06:58.180
Sometimes you have to do things you don't wanna do.
00:07:05.660
and the more fulfillment you will have in your life.
00:07:07.920
Number three, eliminate the people that suck your soul.
00:07:42.140
I don't care about those things as a human being.
00:07:53.880
Because when you have those types of people in your life,
00:08:09.100
focusing on the things that are important to you.
00:08:18.440
We have to communicate with people who are selfish.
00:08:28.600
and they're a life-sucking source in your life,
00:08:36.180
hey, look, I appreciate you're going through your thing right now.
00:08:39.480
I have to accomplish this and this and this and this.
00:08:46.600
and they want my time and attention and energy.
00:08:51.320
as long as it aligns with what I'm trying to accomplish
00:09:07.120
because I don't feel obligated to answer the door
00:09:16.700
come over to your house unannounced, uninvited,
00:09:24.120
or your kids feel obligated to answer the door?
00:09:41.240
But the reality is I have to be very protective of my time
00:09:44.160
because I want to focus on the things that matter,
00:09:59.320
and the parameters that I have personally set up.
00:10:21.300
I want to focus on the few people that really matter,
00:10:36.020
All right, number four, get better at fewer things.
00:11:47.440
and the interest and the things that you desire.
00:12:19.140
And so many of us are hanging out in the kiddie pool
00:12:29.860
If you're going to get into jiu-jitsu, go deep.
00:12:37.080
which is something that I have actually got into,
00:12:39.200
believe it or not, because my youngest loves it,
00:12:51.660
If you want to build a movement like we're doing here
00:12:55.820
maybe you're doing a professional job full-time right now,
00:12:59.000
but you want to take something on the side full-time,
00:13:29.540
I had to convince my then wife that we should do it.
00:13:37.180
But as soon as I sold that financial planning practice
00:14:13.260
And guys, the last thing that I'm going to tell you,
00:14:17.320
and I know it's impacted millions of other men,
00:14:36.920
or binge-watching TV shows you don't care about.
00:14:52.060
And I'm not making excuses for the decisions that I've made,
00:15:02.380
that the only outlet that seemed available to me
00:15:21.800
But the impact that it had on the grander scheme,
00:15:44.280
from the very things that I just shared with you.
00:16:00.760
Guys, you're not gonna sedate yourself anymore.
00:16:32.040
not apathetic about the incredible amount of things
00:16:51.500
83% of men who are dissatisfied with their work
00:17:33.220
And the last, you're not going to sedate yourself.
00:17:55.200
It's definitely uncomfortable in the short term,
00:18:47.600
