SNEAKO - SNEAKO Interviews Brute De Force

00:00:00.000 but i'm outlifting everybody i'm putting up more numbers than your guys did mcgregor ever recover

00:00:04.320 no no chance no chance because he got paid when you are number one there is a bullseye on your

00:00:08.980 head who stands in the way of john jones john jones look at the streaming game we had this 0.96

00:00:13.480 conversation yesterday right if you're the number one streamer in the world there's fucking thousand 0.93

00:00:17.760 guys behind you gunning for your position guys have to figure out what they naturally want to

00:00:22.180 do already and find a way to incorporate money into it not the other way around so are you saying

00:00:29.240 that successful people are in a constant state of depression and that the pursuit of success is

00:00:34.040 just trying to distract 100 so you think you think all the most all the winners are all are in a

00:00:39.940 constant state of depression the biggest winners are in a constant state of low level depression

00:00:45.260 and somewhat of like a malaise and like a misery deep down 100 because it's success is unnatural

00:00:52.760 right as a species as humans by definition it's unnatural to go outside the middle and become an

00:00:59.500 outlier and become the best at something to strive for greatness is extremely an unnatural endeavor

00:01:04.180 and it's very unhealthy right a lot of these great athletes these superstars that we look up to

00:01:08.720 they have a lot of mental issues they're mentally very sick but they're the best at their craft and

00:01:13.220 so they juggle those two things and they balance them and so the people that never learn how to

00:01:18.520 juggle those elements never break free from that sort of centralized normal state where look as

00:01:24.980 humans let's be honest what are we born naturally to do survive survive so lay around in the sun 0.97

00:01:30.080 fucking make some art procreate maybe migrate a couple fucking kilometers a day search for a 0.98

00:01:37.020 little bit of grub go to sleep rinse and repeat right so all success is unnatural extremely 0.99

00:01:42.380 unnatural and that's why everybody loves the underdog story of the guy who comes from nothing

00:01:47.240 and become something because everybody knows what that takes everyone knows that means that you're

00:01:51.400 breaking outside the confines and the rules of the game nature has preset the game to make it

00:01:57.000 very difficult to succeed it's very difficult right you have to bear an enormous burden to be

00:02:02.440 at the to be at the top of the like when you are number one there is a bullseye on your head

00:02:06.680 and i truly believe that's why you see a lot of these like mma guys john jones

00:02:11.280 who stands in the way of john jones john jones yeah he's the only the only guy who can stand in

00:02:17.920 the way of a guy like that is himself right so my point is there's a lot of pressure that mounts on

00:02:24.440 you when you're at the top and everyone's gunning for that position everyone wants that championship

00:02:28.220 belt and i think a lot of these guys they get tired of having all that pressure on their shoulders

00:02:33.560 and they end up succumbing and intentionally sabotaging and going back down the ladder where

00:02:38.780 they can just get a little bit of peace at night because it's it's tough being number one everyone's

00:02:43.040 gunning for you right look at the streaming game we had this conversation yesterday right if you're 0.79

00:02:48.100 the number one streamer in the world there's fucking a thousand guys behind you gunning for 0.97

00:02:52.020 your position so the minute you get caught slipping snakes and ladders that game shoots 0.95

00:02:57.960 and ladders you played as a kid it's a metaphor for life that's exactly how life works so your

00:03:02.340 your biggest obstacle when you find success is yourself 100 i think john jones talked about that

00:03:07.660 Like, when one of his title defense fights, he was having this nightmare of getting knocked out in the first round.

00:03:15.420 And he kept having these dreams over and over again.

00:03:17.860 And then he went in this state of prayer right before that fight where he just kind of, like, curled up into a ball and started sweating.

00:03:23.600 And then he imagined himself, like, as a feather man, he said.

00:03:26.420 And that's why, like, he started off the fight, like, grabbing the fence and, like, crawling.

00:03:30.400 And then he crawled up to his opponent because in the dream he was always standing when he got knocked out.

00:03:34.320 so the feather man was like was started off crawling and it seemed like that obstacle of

00:03:39.640 his own dream was was a bigger threat than i don't even remember who the opponent was exactly but i

00:03:45.120 remember the dream exactly so the the whole the whole adage like you are your own worst enemy

00:03:49.760 that's that's that's factually true especially when you get to when you get to the top how do

00:03:54.340 you how do you like look too here's what's interesting right have you noticed any top

00:03:58.340 fighter or or who's taken remember ronda rousey yeah she was the best jiu-jitsu fighter she was 0.99

00:04:04.300 she was a cage fighter yeah she was undefeated the minute the first fight she lost she never 1.00

00:04:11.060 ever recaptured or reclaimed that magic touch wiped out and that happens to a lot of the best

00:04:17.260 like jose aldo a lot of the best fighters once they get that first knockout they never recover

00:04:23.000 that self-image they're never the same it permanently permanently like reduces them

00:04:28.100 from the from the throne do you think it's their aura and public perception or is it something

00:04:31.760 internal 100 everyone's living up to public perception and that's that's the difficult

00:04:35.180 part to manage that's the heart that's the that is the game right there is managing the public

00:04:39.600 perception because everyone's got you on that pedestal but then you have to live up to the

00:04:43.540 the persona that you're projecting out there can can mcgregor ever recover no no chance no chance

00:04:50.560 because he got paid that's the other thing too it's like once you get the bag at that level

00:04:55.220 there's something weird in human nature where your motivation just gets clapped done there's

00:05:01.560 zero spark or fire to ever do that again it's like the one hit wonder thing right in music

00:05:06.840 like guys drop a fucking platinum album and it's very few have been able to keep that street going 0.91

00:05:13.360 the drakes the drays all those guys like that's that's those are outliers but it depends on what 0.98

00:05:19.840 you're chasing success for khabib said in that press conference against mcgregor

00:05:24.320 he said i'm doing this for legacy you're doing this for money exactly exactly 100 but that's 0.99

00:05:31.200 that's a cultural thing so like his upbringing you know the motherfucker was like fighting bears 0.99

00:05:36.400 and caves and shit yeah like his he's doing it for honor ancestral honor whereas the american way 0.99

00:05:43.180 you know what i mean the bling the mansions the this is a more much more capitalistic thing irish 0.99

00:05:48.340 Which is very similar to that.

00:05:49.320 Very similar.

00:05:50.280 Very similar.

00:05:51.300 You also said that the first way to become successful in America is to be loud and boisterous first.

00:05:58.520 You have to make a lot of noise and then the success comes.

00:06:01.160 Like you can't find wealth without being loud first.

00:06:04.540 100%. 1.00

00:06:04.940 If you're shy in America, you're royally fucked. 1.00

00:06:08.300 Royally fucked. 1.00

00:06:09.020 If you're shy in this land, this is the land of fanaticism, right? 0.99

00:06:13.860 Like, the pioneers that came here, it was the fanatics and the artists and the dreamers who had the balls to make the voyage here to find the new world, right?

00:06:22.840 That spirit has never left.

00:06:25.080 So, the guys who will not put themselves out there get devoured by the guys who are making the most noise.

00:06:32.820 You know what I mean?

00:06:33.400 It's sort of an inverted process.

00:06:35.000 Everyone likes to say that it's all bark, no bite, but the bark is what puts you on the map in a lot of ways.

00:06:43.860 do you think that's you can just keep the camera steady do you think that's why elon must started

00:06:48.260 becoming loud and embracing that fanaticism 100 he calls the shots that's what the best do the

00:06:53.960 best call their shots publicly they like being behind the eight ball right he's behind the eight

00:07:00.620 ball he's got himself kind of in a corner now and then he likes to dig himself out and prove

00:07:05.120 everybody right a lot of people use this tactic you know there's there's a common thing on twitter

00:07:10.300 in our corner people will say keep your goals to yourself don't ever discuss your goals publicly

00:07:15.520 because you get a dopamine hit from it and then you're less likely to achieve them people say

00:07:19.540 they're going to go to the gym and then don't exactly i think it's the opposite i think if you

00:07:22.800 make yourself accountable publicly yeah then you you're forced you add pressure 100 and the ones

00:07:30.260 that rise to the pressure are the ones who get everything so why do a lot of people declare

00:07:34.640 their goals and never do anything about them i know so many people like recently i got this guy

00:07:39.220 computer because he says like oh i'm gonna start live streaming texted him yesterday like did you

00:07:43.380 get the computer it's like no like it's still like i gave him crypto he's like it's just sitting in

00:07:47.480 the coin but he said like he kept talking about how he wants to do this it's been years and i'm

00:07:52.340 like i just tried to give him that that extra push and he's just letting it sit you know he's

00:07:56.620 not really doing it why what separates the people because i was like that you know i always publicly

00:08:02.000 declared videos when i was like 14 15 saying like what i wanted to do when i wanted to be

00:08:05.760 and that added a mental pressure that I needed

00:08:07.720 because my upbringing wasn't that difficult

00:08:09.520 but adding public pressure has been that way

00:08:12.000 that I got out of the comfort zone.

00:08:14.580 Why do so many people not get out of the comfort zone?

00:08:17.480 I think it's a self-image thing.

00:08:18.820 So like one of my favorite tweets that I ever put out there

00:08:20.960 is I said that you can never outperform your self-image

00:08:23.680 which means if you internally believe 1.00

00:08:26.540 you're a piece of shit deep down 1.00

00:08:28.640 it doesn't matter how much money 1.00

00:08:30.480 or how much success you come into

00:08:31.820 you will purposely find a way

00:08:33.920 to go back down to the level

00:08:35.920 that you truly believe you are here.

00:08:38.440 You can literally try to out-billionaire it.

00:08:40.920 You can try to get 100 girlfriends, 100 wives.

00:08:44.140 You could buy all the mansions in the world.

00:08:45.980 You will find a creative way

00:08:47.560 to become who you really think you are inside.

00:08:51.740 So you think it's important to view yourself 1.00

00:08:53.360 as a piece of shit? 1.00

00:08:54.120 No, I think it's important to view yourself as the opposite. 1.00

00:08:56.100 You have to build that worthiness

00:08:57.700 by putting yourself out there.

00:08:59.200 How do you build that without starting at zero?

00:09:01.400 So what I think it is,

00:09:02.880 and it goes back to my tagline i the tagline on my twitter before the one now benjamin franklin

00:09:08.760 disrespecter was transcendence through intensity i remember yeah yeah and that was my favorite one

00:09:14.480 because i got i i came up with that idea when i saw the movie the revenant i don't know if you've

00:09:21.840 seen that movie wrestling the bears yes so that movie is incredible because it's about it's about

00:09:28.140 the human spirit that guy literally does not break he gets mauled by a bear he's crippled he's broken

00:09:34.460 he's in the middle of the forest by himself and it's a it's a survival story the guy's clinging

00:09:39.520 on for life but he has no external assistance he has no crutches figuratively and literally right

00:09:46.900 it's just him and his human spirit and his willpower willing him forward now in the modern

00:09:52.880 world and your computer example is a great example of this everyone thinks you have to have the best

00:09:58.740 equipment before you start the game yeah right it's always the guy in the gym who comes to me

00:10:04.160 and is like how do i get strong the first thing they'll do and this is a this is a stall tactic

00:10:08.720 because they don't actually want to get in there and do the work they'll be like what what uh what 0.72

00:10:12.800 do i get nike or adidas uh fucking lifting shoes what kind of belt do i get and i'm like bro you're 0.99

00:10:18.400 already so fucked because you're going in there with the mindset that the equipment makes the man 0.99

00:10:23.000 and it's not the equipment that makes the man every journey right starts with nothing low tech 0.99

00:10:30.900 you just go in there and you put in the work so it's like like brazilian soccer players they

00:10:35.280 start playing on the road in the favelas exactly and then when they get on a turf field they're

00:10:39.100 like look how much easier they're kicking stones around in place of a soccer ball right so um and

00:10:45.760 And I've been a testament to that.

00:10:47.920 I used to go in there and train and everybody would tell me and I was putting up elite numbers, objectively elite Olympic lifting numbers nationally in the country.

00:10:56.900 I was like top point zero one percent.

00:10:59.660 And when I would go in there, all the coaches would always be like, you're not using the right gear.

00:11:04.220 You're not using the right equipment, but I'm outlifting everybody.

00:11:07.040 I'm putting up more numbers than your guys. 0.98

00:11:09.440 So how the fuck can you tell me what to do? 0.99

00:11:11.760 You know what I'm saying? 0.99

00:11:12.580 and so you want to talk about capitalism and marketing has infected people's minds in this

00:11:19.060 it's the whole air jordan thing right guys literally were psyoped in the 90s thinking

00:11:24.560 that if you bought a pair of jordans you were going to play like mike you can start hooping

00:11:27.580 you can start hooping and it was never about the shoes it's not about the belt it's not about the 0.97

00:11:32.260 fucking kicks it's none of that matters it's not about the computer you could have given that 0.99

00:11:36.780 motherfucker a tablet and he would have figured it out right if he really wanted it so everyone 1.00

00:11:43.060 thinks you got to get the best equipment best camera to be a photographer it's like no dude 1.00

00:11:46.680 you could literally start with a fucking crazer from 1993 that blurry ass camera and just start 0.96

00:11:51.800 snapping pics yeah i always remember mr beast telling me that he got to 100 000 subscribers 0.95

00:11:56.600 using his iphone exactly like an iphone 5 exactly it's because these people don't want to start they

00:12:01.900 just want to find every excuse to stall and your philosophy is that the ideal iq is like 80 or like

00:12:11.220 85 as a man where you don't have to we're overthinking is like some of the biggest

00:12:14.560 problems that people have did you notice that like going into powerlifting competitions where

00:12:18.800 like if people are too living too existing too internally and thinking introspectively

00:12:25.380 they are hindering their performance because you psych yourself out you psych yourself out you

00:12:30.980 fake yourself out so if you if you are at that point right now say you're somebody who thinks

00:12:35.580 very introspectively you're like you're an overthinker how do you turn that voice off so

00:12:40.060 that you can just live in first person mode like a caveman how do you dial back your iq so that

00:12:44.340 your performance is better you got to take risk you got to actually have skin invested in in a

00:12:49.880 project doesn't have to be betting gambling those that's just a metaphor anything you have to put

00:12:54.420 your heart on the line for something and fail for real how do you bro failure is i have failed 0.94

00:13:03.360 more than anybody that i know by a long stretch i have fucked up royally catastrophically so many 0.99

00:13:10.420 fucking times in my life literally more than everybody that i personally know combined 0.96

00:13:15.200 catastrophic failure over and over and over again but my wins and my highs that i get 0.95

00:13:21.960 are unlike anybody that i know as well so when i do actually get a breakthrough my breakthroughs 0.76

00:13:28.100 are absurd i'm flying through fucking barriers when i get my breakthroughs because i'm relentless 0.96

00:13:34.000 so like i'll commit myself to a process and i'll get my ass kicked and i'm just right back on the 0.99

00:13:40.580 saddle the next day bring like bring it on give me more most people go insane like that having 0.99

00:13:46.840 highs and lows insane how do you how do you maintain well bro that's the secret is you have 0.99

00:13:51.940 to be slightly fucking insane to make it in this life you have to you have to have a slight degree 0.99

00:13:57.800 of craziness right the mad the mad genius but that's the whole thing it's all branding right 0.98

00:14:02.680 because the the maniac who successfully pulls it off and on the hundredth swing finally hits the

00:14:10.120 grand slam and wins the game everyone calls him a genius but the guy who fails a hundred times and 0.99

00:14:16.120 never gets the w he's seen as fuck as as as crazy as eccentric right it's all branding so 0.99

00:14:23.740 you by winning you are able to sort of rebrand these personal personality traits where people 0.98

00:14:29.580 are widely accepting of them it's all about it's all about the win man like you have to win in the

00:14:34.160 end have to um good transition you said winners are always having fun exclusively as a rule what

00:14:42.360 they find fun the average person does not they can be entangled in the most disparaging horror

00:14:46.720 show circus of a situation and find enjoyment in it they see everything as a game and all games

00:14:51.320 winnable i think you're right completely if you look at like how competitive michael jordan uh

00:14:57.320 conor regregor all these people are like they'll take a ping pong game and then put their whole

00:15:01.480 ego and reputation on the line yeah do you think they see everything do you even think they see

00:15:05.980 family having kids stuff like that do they see everything as a as a game 100 100 like they'll

00:15:14.420 be they'll be embroiled in a very very classically what you would call like sick situation like they 0.99

00:15:21.180 could be in a very explosive fight with their woman or going through a horrible fucking breakup 0.96

00:15:28.380 or whatever but they find some like sick enjoyment in the process of just like sitting in it and 0.99

00:15:33.680 basking it and like they look they're they're fucking avid learners bro they're learning from 0.91

00:15:37.800 everything it's like their misfortune they almost get like a kind of a kick out of it yeah because 0.95

00:15:43.260 it's like how can i disentangle myself from this mess that i created and that's that's really what

00:15:48.060 the winning mentality is it's about because as you're taking risks and as you're ascending the

00:15:52.280 ladder you're gonna find yourself in messes right do you think that's what the insanity is because

00:15:56.380 you you nailed that when i've had really difficult situations in life there was always like a little

00:16:02.020 like voice in my head that was enjoying the moment enjoying exactly like dropping out of school not

00:16:07.900 knowing what to do exactly or you know like even like small things like fights with my girlfriend

00:16:13.300 stuff like that i'm thinking like this is just this shitty situation is like how am i going to

00:16:17.900 get out of this i kind of enjoy the process i don't think a lot of people think that way and

00:16:23.060 i've been i've never voiced that or uh communicated that with other people but there was always some

00:16:27.560 sort of satisfaction there's a satisfaction in anything that you're in because you're just you

00:16:31.820 always find an angle there's because dude that's the crazy thing about being a man there's always

00:16:35.800 a way out there's just always a there's always as long as you're living and breathing there's

00:16:41.060 always something you can do to to to twist and fucking wiggle yourself through something 0.96

00:16:46.860 there's always a way to get out on the other side that's the incredible part about life

00:16:51.380 but most people will never try or put themselves in a contorted position where they even have to

00:16:55.900 figure that the fuck out you know what i mean like i've lost millions of dollars gambling and 0.93

00:17:00.800 had nothing and had to rebuild from literally fucking zero and then even when you're at that 0.97

00:17:05.640 point you still kind of had that like sick like how am i gonna get back to 100 bro there were 0.98

00:17:10.020 nights where i'm eating a two thousand dollar dinner king crab fucking legs a4 wagyu 0.99

00:17:16.880 sleeping in a penthouse the next day i'm so broke i'm hitting up motherfuckers to go sleep on their 1.00

00:17:23.800 couch. The disparity, like on top of the world one night and the next morning I am in the bottom 1.00

00:17:30.200 of the gutter in 24 hours. And I always found a way to get back into the suite. That's my point

00:17:35.740 because you can almost take any risk in life if you're willing to commit.

00:17:40.220 It's all about the commitment. And I'm just not a quitter. It's not in my nature.

00:17:47.620 I don't give up on people. I don't give up on anything that I, and that's the thing, man,

00:17:52.300 is like, I am, I take everything very seriously,

00:17:56.540 but I've noticed the people that take things so seriously

00:17:59.080 also have the most lightheartedness

00:18:00.720 and can laugh the most when things go wrong.

00:18:03.340 You know what I mean?

00:18:03.660 Like, you almost have to have that dark humor

00:18:05.240 that you're talking about.

00:18:06.800 You almost have to have that kind of dark comedic humor

00:18:09.180 when everything's going wrong,

00:18:10.740 you just have to laugh sometimes.

00:18:12.520 Yeah.

00:18:13.180 You have to.

00:18:14.680 It's like the only way to cope with it.

00:18:18.300 Yeah, I was telling him about,

00:18:20.160 last time I went to Arizona,

00:18:21.200 I did a cross-country road trip, and on the way back to New York, I was in Colorado.

00:18:28.120 My car broke down.

00:18:29.440 It was, like, pouring snow.

00:18:30.800 I didn't know where I was going to stay that night.

00:18:32.600 Police were there.

00:18:33.400 I didn't have enough money for the tow truck.

00:18:35.160 I remember, like, sitting in the car with my brother, and, like, they're towing the car.

00:18:39.160 There's snow pouring everywhere.

00:18:40.400 I'm in the middle of the country, like, and I'm broke, not in school.

00:18:43.540 I remember laughing. 0.99

00:18:45.140 I was just like, this is fucked. 0.99

00:18:47.000 but that laughter, I've never realized that like that laughter is, is part of his understanding 1.00

00:18:54.380 that you're good, that you're going to find a way out of it. Always, always. I've never,

00:18:59.620 the thing is you only rise to the level of the problems that you have. Right. And so most people,

00:19:04.920 the biggest problem they'll ever have is being $1,200 late on rent. Right. That's the biggest

00:19:12.260 problem they have but to them that is the world and to them when they when they're late on their

00:19:16.920 rent payment they feel like the world is crumbling on their shoulders but they don't understand

00:19:21.500 there's men out there that are built of the same constitution they are same blood same structure

00:19:26.720 that before they've even woken up in the morning they're going through a fiery divorce their

00:19:32.480 empires their businesses are exploding collapsing they're being sued they're going through bankruptcy

00:19:37.480 their cars are being repoed and those guys are laughing knowing that it's going to be okay 0.99

00:19:42.200 and they're going to get it all back right and it's like you got another motherfucker over here 1.00

00:19:45.420 that's tripping because he can't pay his priests there's there's levels to all this shit yeah 1.00

00:19:50.380 there's dudes that are dealing with fucking demons and monsters that are so outrageously 1.00

00:19:56.240 incomprehensible for the average person and they're successfully dealing with it on a daily basis 0.99

00:20:00.640 those are the guys that win because they put more on their plate and when you put more on your plate

00:20:04.980 and you have more pressure you're always going to respond to the to the pressure so if you don't 0.94

00:20:10.120 have enough pressure men do not do jack shit unless they have to that's what i've noticed 0.98

00:20:15.560 unless they actually fucking have to they don't know who they are yet right and that's what the 0.99

00:20:22.240 problem with the modern man is is like they have no pressure they have no zero pressure to do 0.97

00:20:25.620 anything survival is easy we've hacked the matrix it's life's easy man it's life is abundant in 2024

00:20:32.020 for. You can blindfolded do a half ass job at any gig and pay your rent. Let's be honest. Food is

00:20:40.060 dirt cheap. Clothes are cheap. You're not going to die in the modern world. You're never going to

00:20:45.240 starve. Never. You'll figure that out. You'll figure it out for sure. And you'll figure out

00:20:50.300 a roof too. So like people don't take these risks and try to progress because they convinced

00:20:55.960 themselves. What if I die? What if my survival is in jeopardy? That's never the problem. It's about

00:21:02.300 you are afraid to become a different person and go through the transformation of going through

00:21:07.560 that process. Cause you might come out of that process and not recognize who you were when you

00:21:11.280 started. And that terrifies people. I'm a completely different guy than I was when I was a

00:21:16.300 kid. I'm living proof. I'm a Testament that the way you're born and your genetic cards that you're

00:21:22.300 dealt are completely malleable and can be transcended they can be steve jobs has a quote

00:21:29.080 where he said the way he views the world is it's like when he pokes at something there's a ripple

00:21:35.300 effect he describes it really plainly like if you the way you are as a man i think it's it's just

00:21:42.040 life as a man you can affect the world if you actually if you can change the universe that's

00:21:48.320 around you and a lot of people don't understand that like very simple concept like the same way

00:21:53.320 that you can affect the world in minecraft like you can make buildings and you can change the

00:21:57.240 whole you can change the weather and the you have that every man every individual man has that power

00:22:03.260 to make a ripple effect on the on the entire universe 100 and the only thing that separates

00:22:07.440 the innovators from the people that you know die and no one remembers them the only difference is

00:22:12.880 that commitment you're saying that self-belief that's it that's literally it that's it goes back

00:22:19.460 to the revenant story it's about that spirit it's a spiritual these are spiritual principles

00:22:24.380 this is like a level of spirituality that you actually have to ingrain in yourself

00:22:28.420 because the human spirit bro will take you to the most incredible heights in life it's all about

00:22:34.940 your heart everything's about the male heart the heart is the most masculine organ in the in the

00:22:40.660 body. Everyone thinks it's the head. Women live in their head. Women are the ones with the crazy 1.00

00:22:45.980 racing thoughts all the time and hyper analyze shit and freak out and panic. Men live from their 1.00

00:22:50.440 heart and their soul because that's the shit that you're born with. Whatever's in your heart as a 1.00

00:22:56.560 man, you're born with that. And nobody can take that away from you. Your desires, your impulses,

00:23:01.240 your dreams, your visions, the things that you like, things that you have a natural affinity

00:23:05.140 towards. You're born with that. And so no one can rip that out of you. But the head, the head shit,

00:23:10.660 The guys that live in their head, they can't access this. 1.00

00:23:13.800 And that's the problem.

00:23:14.420 That's why they convince themselves they can never get started on a project or an endeavor.

00:23:18.060 So it's just the number one problem I've seen with every single guy.

00:23:20.460 Number one problem.

00:23:20.780 It's frustrating to see that.

00:23:21.940 But how do you connect more with your heart as a man?

00:23:24.200 How do you get out of your head and live more first-person mode,

00:23:27.220 like a caveman acting from your heart's desires?

00:23:30.280 So one trick to go unconscious and put the conscious mind to sleep is volume,

00:23:38.320 like heavy volume.

00:23:39.480 like if you're a guy who doesn't get women you're talking to so many women that eventually 0.99

00:23:46.400 the fucking beast inside you just starts doing the talking like you're no longer worrying about 1.00

00:23:52.260 cues and what to say and flinching and all that shit you're literally you are you have so many 1.00

00:23:57.160 shots out there that one of them is going to land just like writing you write so much until your 0.97

00:24:03.160 hand falls off that you break the rust in the process and you get the breakthrough you stop 0.94

00:24:08.260 thinking about it you're just riding and riding and riding until your fucking hand basically has 0.99

00:24:12.240 arthritis and then you're fucking you hit the ground running and you get the breakthrough and 0.99

00:24:16.960 it's over i like this one too you said i said weeks ago if you fall through the trap door of 0.99

00:24:24.900 depression a whole new world opens up to you a little more pain here a little more sprinkled

00:24:29.660 there and now you're back on your feet laughing it's stagnation at depression that kills you

00:24:34.080 keep falling. And I remember when I, when I was stagnant for a long time, so I've been doing

00:24:40.560 YouTube like content creation for like 11 years, like the main thing I do. And I hit a stagnation

00:24:45.980 point for about three years where I was only posting like every couple of months and I wasn't

00:24:50.320 actively pursuing it. But I knew that it was always like the dream that I had, like at the

00:24:53.880 back of my head and I wasn't pursuing it. And it was only like at my lowest point that I decided

00:24:59.240 the next day to get back on it. And then I haven't stopped since then. And that was maybe like six

00:25:03.880 years ago it was at like the lowest point you know staring at the wall freaking out mental breakdown

00:25:09.040 how do you pivot that depression to someplace positive because most people get to that point

00:25:15.720 you know a lot of people can end up in a mental hospital a lot of people will end up quitting a

00:25:19.100 lot of people will stay with their mom's house forever how do you use that depression and that

00:25:24.080 breaking point to your advantage yeah so it's it's it's like you stagnation is ultimately what 0.97

00:25:31.240 fucks everybody. It's the stagnation. It's like staying in an emotional state for too long is 0.91

00:25:37.700 very dangerous for all men. Any kind of emotional state that you're lingering in and not moving out

00:25:43.160 of becomes dangerous after a while. Um, there's a good, there's, there's good data and literature

00:25:48.560 on the fact that in war, in times of war, suicide rates plummet harder than they ever do before.

00:25:55.980 basically nobody commits suicide when there's a war and you got to defend territory in a nation

00:26:01.360 and it's like you start to think about that and you're like okay it makes sense as soon as a 0.97

00:26:05.640 motherfucker has a mission you fly right out of that depression right so the people who end up 0.99

00:26:11.840 killing themselves and end up having suicidal tendencies and thoughts and really really going 0.99

00:26:16.000 into a dark place have no mission they have no mission but they also don't realize that they

00:26:21.800 need to keep moving and keep failing even because going down, going down and losing more and going

00:26:29.440 even lower is better than staying in that place because you have movement. So movement either way

00:26:35.540 is always better than stagnation because there's a wraparound effect. If you go too low, you'll end

00:26:42.100 up wrapping around towards the top and horseshoeing back into abundant mentality. You know what I

00:26:47.100 me like have you ever been so on such a losing streak in your life nothing's clicking nothing's 0.99

00:26:52.580 sticking you're just you fuck up after fuck up after fuck up after a while you get so fed up 0.99

00:26:57.060 that you immediately your mindset just automatically changes into absolute abundance you stop giving a 1.00

00:27:04.380 fuck and you start taking shots and then things start working again and you're back on your feet 0.97

00:27:08.020 that's how that phenomenon works and the reason why it worked is because you kept going lower and 1.00

00:27:12.560 lower and lower and lower until you rebounded so you never want to sit with the feelings or

00:27:18.500 sit with the failure sit with the loss you got to put up the next shot very quickly so it seems

00:27:24.420 like the common denominator is perseverance 100 100 and that's why iq i think is malleable

00:27:30.340 iq is not a finite thing people talk about intelligence i mean look i think grit and

00:27:34.840 and tenacity and guile and what you just said resilience is a part of iq it's a huge factor

00:27:42.600 in it that's not quantifiable because if you get a guy like that on a battlefield or in a project 0.95

00:27:49.160 or in a fucking business room he's gonna look fucking smart at some point let me roll a cigarette 0.97

00:27:55.040 Yeah, there's a lot more I want to ask him. 0.99

00:28:08.040 Camera's good and everything?

00:28:14.040 Yeah.

00:28:25.040 you might have if um if i have one too yeah oh thanks man you roll that just now

00:28:36.480 pre-being rolled bro just now

00:28:39.320 he describes things in a way i'm asking you needles like he describes things in a way like

00:28:51.900 he puts things into the perspective that, like, you know that you haven't really been able to

00:28:55.280 contextualize properly, right? He works things, like, really easy to, like, conceptualize.

00:29:00.980 Like, simple things that we know that you kind of distract yourself from. And I think, like,

00:29:05.420 stuff like this is important in the digital age where people are becoming more internalized.

00:29:11.800 okay here's one i'm curious to see how you explain you said never consciously learned a

00:29:22.740 skill in my life anything extremely difficult i've ever done was just biting off way more than

00:29:27.400 i could chew and fingering it out on the go common denominator was always fun fun is the only true

00:29:33.160 compass for acquiring anything worthwhile that i also agree with that completely like i've often

00:29:39.380 felt the pressure. Like people are like, what skills do you have? And I think back, like I'm

00:29:42.700 wildly successful, but I don't think I've like completely nailed or like mastered anything.

00:29:49.880 You know, everything that I've done that I've been successful at, it's because I found a level

00:29:53.320 of enjoyment in it. And if I don't enjoy doing it, I'm not going to do it. Same here. One thing

00:29:57.120 that I got really good at, uh, that some people might say I've mastered like something like

00:30:01.220 editing videos. And I only came, became really good at that because I was, I, you reach a flow

00:30:06.480 state where where it's not work and it's not you mastering a skill it's not you you know studying

00:30:11.460 for an exam you're just doing it because it's something that you're passionate about and you've

00:30:15.240 reached a point where it just it naturally starts like a like beethoven playing the keys on a piano

00:30:20.420 it just starts like flowing out of you how do you how do you find that because a lot of people feel

00:30:26.380 the pressure that they need to perform that they have to work yeah everybody's been taught that

00:30:31.540 you have to go against the grain and that's the opposite of leaning into your nature which is like 1.00

00:30:36.280 my philosophy my whole core philosophy is leaning into your nature as a man whatever the fuck you

00:30:42.420 are naturally engineered and designed to do is what you should be leaning into and for example 0.55

00:30:49.000 like my speaking on my spaces that i host it's it's people will be like how do i speak like you 0.95

00:30:54.540 how do i become a better speaker i'm like bro get different parents it's fucking genetic like i'm 0.98

00:30:59.700 just running with whatever the fuck i got and i'm if you if you go all in on your strengths by the 0.97

00:31:04.920 way it will eventually eclipse all your weaknesses and you never have to work like people are always 0.98

00:31:10.740 like yeah but why don't you focus on your weaknesses so you can be well-rounded it's like

00:31:14.900 the goal is not to be well-rounded because what is that's the literal term well-rounded means you

00:31:20.320 have no edge right it's all about keeping your edge as a man so i never dealt with weaknesses

00:31:27.320 i would always let them fall to the wayside and if you just get good at one thing and you crush it 0.97

00:31:31.920 no one gives a fuck about your weaknesses because you're so fucking good at one thing 0.94

00:31:36.940 and so that's i've always just run with what i've naturally been geared at 0.99

00:31:40.660 which is speaking writing never fucking took a writing class in my life never fucking popped 0.98

00:31:48.300 a thesaurus never opened a dictionary i just have fucking strong reading comprehension so i ran with 0.98

00:31:53.480 it so everybody knows what's what what they have inside everyone knows what they're good at 0.93

00:31:59.500 naturally but everyone wants to resist it and get into other shit that they're not that it's like 0.97

00:32:04.160 why the fuck would i compete at something that's going to take me 10 years to get just as good as 0.98

00:32:10.660 the guy who's born with the gift i'm not gonna burn 10 years of my life trying to be a piano 1.00

00:32:15.940 player when another there's a motherfucker who has that natural talent who's gonna fucking run 1.00

00:32:20.340 with it and be 100 times better than me i want to be the best at whatever it is that i do and i 0.99

00:32:25.860 don't care if I fall short my goal is to be the best how do you personally reach that flow state

00:32:31.500 I know a lot of people have different ways of getting there I don't even know how to like

00:32:36.040 describe mine I'm thinking about it now but how do you get to that point where your work and what

00:32:41.460 you're good at doesn't feel like work and it just it's something that's fun so that's the thing is

00:32:46.340 like that's what I was saying is the fun is the compass the fun is the north star like if I 0.93

00:32:51.420 genuinely don't enjoy it i don't care if i'm gonna lose money over it i'm not gonna fucking do it 0.96

00:32:56.560 and like it goes back to my whole thing about you have to find the lifestyle before you find the 0.96

00:33:03.860 money and this is where people get it really fucked up and twisted people go for the money 0.89

00:33:08.400 try to get rich first at like 21 years old now they have a bunch of money but they don't have 0.97

00:33:13.180 the lifestyle so they don't know how to fit in the lifestyle and they start doing dorky quirky 0.94

00:33:17.400 shit that doesn't fit and it's super incongruent i was living how i wanted to live when i was broke 0.96

00:33:23.040 yeah i mean so i was still doing whatever the fuck i wanted to do when i had nothing 0.99

00:33:26.560 so you put money on top of that you're a powerhouse you're a force to be reckoned with

00:33:32.460 because you already had the lifestyle so it's like guys have to figure out what they naturally

00:33:37.000 want to do already and find a way to incorporate money into it not the other way around play to 0.88

00:33:42.980 your strengths play to your fucking strengths all the time let the weaknesses fall away because if 0.94

00:33:46.900 you get so good at it it'll overshadow all the weaknesses you said uh if you ever take a swing 0.99

00:33:55.340 at an opportunity and feel like you have to nail it first try you don't really want it

00:33:59.360 you convince yourself you do when you really want something your whole engine will calibrate for it

00:34:03.840 you have an infinity clip you are careless because you know it's already yours um that's one of my

00:34:11.100 favorites yeah can you can you explain that one yeah so what i'm saying is is it's like if you

00:34:19.720 already know that you got it and you already know you're destined to be what you're supposed to be

00:34:24.460 because your nature is that strong you can fail a billion fucking times and it ain't no thing it 0.98

00:34:30.120 just rolls off your shoulders because you already know you're going to get there so you're not 0.96

00:34:35.040 taking it too personally when things don't work out you don't have to land your dream girl the

00:34:40.200 first time because you already know that's coming you don't have to get secure the bag the first

00:34:44.240 try you don't have to knock it out of the park the first investment that you make because you

00:34:47.700 know you're going to get it eventually so you can have fun with the process and enjoy going through

00:34:52.900 the motions so you have the infinity clip you can just keep putting up shots until the end of time

00:34:57.500 it's like there's some guys who they go to a bar and they talk to a girl and they get rejected

00:35:01.600 it destroys them for two months and there's other guys who just immediately start talking to other

00:35:09.060 women and those are the guys that i told you have the wraparound effect and end up rebounding into 1.00

00:35:14.360 the abundance mentality yeah because they don't internalize it they don't internalize it that's

00:35:22.380 been my biggest strength i think is i don't internalize anything i don't take anything

00:35:26.340 personal i know i get a redo you get a mulligan as a guy you wake up the next morning you draw

00:35:33.880 another breath you're in the game right you're always in the game how do you how do you teach

00:35:42.320 people to how does someone who's not thinking that way how do they start thinking that way

00:35:46.620 so i think the confidence really comes from standing on your own two feet first

00:35:50.460 i think that's where a lot of people go wrong is like as a man as early as possible you have

00:35:56.040 to prove to yourself that you can support yourself and make a living and feed yourself

00:36:00.240 and fend for yourself in the wild without relying on your parents and in the modern culture brother 0.94

00:36:05.420 we we see fucking there's guys that are living at home at 38 telling themselves that in three years 0.90

00:36:11.580 when the timing's right during the crypto bull run they're gonna move out and they never do 0.98

00:36:16.440 they're still there because you have to be disgusted with yourself to make changes and that's

00:36:24.400 that's like a very taboo topic but nobody no man ever makes a change until they can barely look in 0.86

00:36:31.460 the mirror they're so fucking sick and tired of being sick and tired until you're until you get 0.99

00:36:38.040 200 pounds and you're obese and you're looking in the mirror and you are absolutely disgusted with 0.98

00:36:43.220 the state of being that you've allowed yourself to get to it's only use using that disgusted state

00:36:48.960 that catapults you to really make big changes right it's like a lot of people try to make

00:36:55.580 changes for other people you got people that are overweight maybe they want to lose weight

00:37:00.040 but other people are in their ear telling them to lose the weight and they start doing it for

00:37:04.640 other people to make them happy and they never the weight never goes anywhere right because

00:37:09.060 they ain't doing it for the right reason yeah i know fat people they get told by their friend 1.00

00:37:12.300 group all the time oh you're a fat piece of shit you're a fat piece of shit they laugh it off and 1.00

00:37:16.560 And then it becomes a joke because they're not actually disgusted with themselves. 1.00

00:37:20.160 Exactly.

00:37:20.740 It has to be internal.

00:37:23.240 It's the only way to make true change is to get to a point of absolute disgust

00:37:27.560 where you cannot imagine living another day in these conditions.

00:37:31.160 That's exactly what happened to me.

00:37:32.220 That's what happened to me, too.

00:37:34.640 Do you remember that day?

00:37:35.480 How did it happen for you?

00:37:36.300 Yeah, I do.

00:37:36.740 And I'll tell you the story after yours.

00:37:38.460 Well, I don't recommend anybody take drugs,

00:37:40.520 but when I was in high school and college, I used to take psychedelics.

00:37:43.440 and if you're not in the right mental state if there's anything that's i that's what i realized

00:37:49.600 like taking lsd it was like or shrooms if there's anything that i was like pushing away or trying to

00:37:54.240 ignore it becomes fully present when you're in that psychedelic state and after like not after

00:37:59.660 procrastinating and i was just drinking every weekend wasting my life away like i had this trip

00:38:05.140 and all of it just came it became very i was very hyper aware of everything that i was doing

00:38:10.440 and i became like i started panicking that i was wasting my life away and i was wasting my time

00:38:15.520 away and i couldn't stand another moment when i would waste any time because time is the only

00:38:19.720 currency that you can't get back you can always make more money uh that's why that's never really

00:38:23.800 worried me it's never been a concern i could always make more money you can't ever make time

00:38:28.280 uh and that realizing that i'm never going to get that back and that my youth is fleeting

00:38:33.080 that made me panic and i just stopped wasting it from that moment on it was it was just like

00:38:38.440 something switched in my head like this comfort zone is is the the biggest trap in the world

00:38:44.400 you know you know they used to cure alcoholism with lsd in the 70s they would make people

00:38:50.400 hallucinate because and it wasn't the lsd that would cure the alcoholism it was that when people

00:38:55.120 would go on lsd they would literally be able to see what they were doing to themselves yeah like

00:38:59.920 you just said and then they would make the change when they would snap out of it but a lot of people

00:39:03.440 have like they will go into that state and not come out of it they become schizophrenic so i

00:39:06.980 I don't recommend people do that. 1.00

00:39:08.420 Fuck no. 1.00

00:39:08.780 I bet there might be some people watching right now like, oh, maybe I should do it. 1.00

00:39:11.160 No, no, no, no, no.

00:39:11.920 It's not a good prescription.

00:39:13.720 Absolutely not. 0.98

00:39:14.180 But it's never going to happen until you get fucking disgusted. 0.99

00:39:20.800 Like the first job that I had. 0.99

00:39:22.760 I despised it. 0.99

00:39:25.160 I was fucking doing telemarketing. 1.00

00:39:27.120 Slamming phones in a fluorescent lit cubicle all fucking day. 1.00

00:39:30.820 No sunlight. 1.00

00:39:31.720 No windows. 1.00

00:39:32.560 In basically a concrete barrier on a fucking computer with a headset. 1.00

00:39:36.480 just on rotary dial, just fucking slamming calls, slamming calls. And I was so fucking disgusted 1.00

00:39:43.920 after like two months of doing the shit 40 hours a week. I sabotaged the job and I got myself fired 0.99

00:39:50.660 and it was the best day of my fucking life because I realized in that moment, the day that I got 0.98

00:39:55.360 fired, that I no longer had any excuses and I had to go out and do what I really wanted to do. And I 0.99

00:40:00.040 had no fallback plan anymore. Now the game was on and it was up to me now to actually go and pursue

00:40:05.680 what it is that i wanted to and take ownership for that yeah i recommend always recommend people

00:40:10.380 to get rid of that safety net as quickly as possible as quickly as possible you always say

00:40:13.980 that you need to kill the boy like you're not actually but you need to like kill that innocence

00:40:18.240 so whatever safety net you have whatever comfort zone you have you don't get rid of that immediately 0.98

00:40:22.240 you're going to fall into a trap that's much harder to get out 100 and i even even um needles

00:40:28.020 my cameraman he was telling me this story the other day about he used to work at chipotle

00:40:31.020 and like after a long day of making like what 10 50 an hour or something like that just like like

00:40:37.020 staring at your ceiling like thinking like is this is this life is this my life and then that

00:40:41.380 something was switching you when you're fully like is this really like everything my parents

00:40:45.360 gave birth to me so that my existence is working for ten dollars an hour chipotle like scooping up

00:40:51.340 burrito bowls for people that disgust will will propel you um and most people so many people like

00:40:59.100 I just, I think this is the number one problem that men have nowadays. They won't ever realize 0.98

00:41:03.440 that because they have a safety net. They have something to fall back on. So you can't really

00:41:07.700 hit that point of absolute disgust. You'll never hit, you'll never realize, you'll never be fully

00:41:11.680 humiliated with yourself or fully disgusted with yourself because you're never going to,

00:41:15.160 you're never going to see yourself at that. And it's actually a beautiful place to be in.

00:41:18.640 It's a beautiful place to be. It's when you really get to understand,

00:41:22.580 you get to understand yourself and what you need to work on. Yeah, I had that.

00:41:28.580 because then the next step becomes very clear yeah once you get to that point of disgust like 0.97

00:41:32.680 the next there's no more bullshitting yourself it's very fucking clear and there's you cross 0.97

00:41:37.340 the rubicon there's no going back but you also believe in this reminded me you say that men 0.98

00:41:43.260 shouldn't fully understand themselves but i think i started to fully understand myself like once i

00:41:48.600 was completely disgusted why do you think that men shouldn't fully understand themselves men should

00:41:53.040 not analyze why they're good at what they're good at is the nuance because once you start to really

00:42:02.420 try to reverse engineer why you're doing is working it stops working right it's like the

00:42:08.100 guy who realizes that he's funny starts trying to be more funny and now no one's laughing at

00:42:12.940 the jokes anymore but there's guys that are just naturally hilarious and they never stop to to

00:42:19.120 wonder or worry about why they have that kind of superpower it's like the more you try to

00:42:24.160 understand why you're good at what you're what you do the more you fuck it up it's better to

00:42:30.100 just go in there and go unconscious and just perform at the highest level it's just totally 0.88

00:42:35.160 unconscious second nature to you so you men have to be in a constant state of of high performance

00:42:41.760 exactly

00:42:44.120 dude 100 percent taking on more responsibility because you can't let people down

00:42:51.840 the stakes get higher and ironically this cures a lot of mental illness in society a lot of people

00:43:00.100 that are self-destructive and self-sabotage the reason they do that is because they don't have

00:43:03.920 kids they don't have a family they don't have anything to they don't nobody's relying on no

00:43:07.800 ones relying on them. So then, so then why does that guy like you, you know, obviously there's

00:43:11.860 an outlier. Why does that guy who is in crippling debt in Turkey, I've seen this video, like he

00:43:16.360 couldn't feed his family anymore. He ends up jumping off, um, a bridge in a mall. Like even

00:43:21.140 though he has to provide for his family, how does a man get to that state? Because nature doesn't 0.99

00:43:25.280 guarantee it. That's the whole trick about this whole thing is that suffering gives you the best

00:43:30.540 chance. It gives you the best odds to break free from your situation. Some, some people never

00:43:37.040 mentally recover unfortunately right not everyone's going to be a winner not everyone's going to be a 0.55

00:43:41.780 fucking fortune 500 ceo not everyone's going to be the best streamer in the world it's not going

00:43:45.840 to happen for 99 but the point is as a man is you have to at least make the attempt to really 0.98

00:43:52.600 because every goal as a man starts as a fucking delusion starts as a lie right you you wanted to 0.99

00:43:59.380 be a streamer when you were a kid they call you crazy they call you fucking nuts everyone everyone 0.99

00:44:03.340 called me insane and then you start to succeed and then they call you a genius and then they 0.97

00:44:06.480 applaud you exactly after you get the result but it started as a complete lie it wasn't even real

00:44:10.960 and you made it real you made it real which is what a man's job is the more a man can make the

00:44:17.580 visions in his head become a reality the higher you go that's literally the game of life you got

00:44:23.360 to make all your fantasies actually come true and the guys that sit there and just fantasize all day

00:44:28.540 and never try to actually bring it to real life those are the guys who suffer the most and never

00:44:33.560 break out of it and it's ironic because when women get to live like that that's when they're 1.00

00:44:37.220 at their happiest they're at their best they have their delusions and they never have to see them

00:44:40.760 because they get to live internally and their delusions make them happy oh like crystals are

00:44:45.340 making me exactly my astrology stuff uh i'm gonna start like they are happiest when they get to be

00:44:51.620 in a little bit and they get to live in la la land completely when men live in la la land and 0.91

00:44:55.660 there's no results that's when they they crumble totally fucking crumble because that's how 0.90

00:45:00.360 everybody measures you as a man ultimately like did you make your fantasies real then no one can 0.96

00:45:07.480 say a word to you right like if you if you can make it happen just you silence the critics

00:45:13.820 do you ever get lazy dude all the time what is it i'm like a lion bro i'm pretty much just

00:45:22.320 just chilling chilling chilling i get inspiration i get a vision and i act immediately and implement

00:45:27.540 minute. That's my whole life. Like bowl rushes. I get everything done and just like quick little

00:45:33.500 bursts of like bowl rushes. And then I go rest again. Everything in my life is like a sprint.

00:45:38.660 Knock it out. Got to send an email. Boom. I'll put my best foot forward. 15 minutes done.

00:45:43.500 Never to be returned to again. You're not a marathon 5k runner. Not at all. Why? Not at all.

00:45:49.340 It's just not in my nature. I'm a fast twitch motherfucker. I'm an explosive thinker. Everything 1.00

00:45:53.720 I do is explosive the way I train the way I think my financial strategy they my whole life is

00:45:59.280 congruent because the way I gamble is the way I lift weights the way I lift weights is the way I

00:46:03.900 gamble the way I gamble the way I lift weights is the way I think it's all connected everything I

00:46:09.600 do is maximum capacity fast twitch impulsive ADHD like 100 100 and so like for me 0.95

00:46:17.860 being a bodybuilder and going in the gym and training my muscles slow and fucking doing the 0.91

00:46:24.040 slow contractions would actually slow me down mentally because it's incongruent with my 0.96

00:46:29.460 lifestyle right so you're not doing the 15 rep like slow nothing just because my thinking my

00:46:36.280 career my profession requires me to be constantly fucking turning my gears i constantly have to 0.97

00:46:43.640 troubleshoot, find answers to problems. And so the way I train, it's all, I have a very holistic 0.89

00:46:50.100 approach. They all compliment each other. You know what I mean? Like if you're a slow moving

00:46:55.640 motherfucker, then it makes sense that your whole life should be like that. But if it's fast, 1.00

00:47:00.240 everything should be fast because everything reinforces the machine.

00:47:06.400 Like that's the, that's been the biggest benefit of weightlifting for me. It's not about the

00:47:10.340 the training. It's about the reinforcement of that explosive lifestyle. Being explosive is a

00:47:16.480 lifestyle. You know, I get forceful thoughts and I immediately fucking implement them and take 0.99

00:47:22.620 action. I don't sit on my desires. Like I gratify my whims. What do you do when you get a negative 0.98

00:47:29.760 thought? Are you like that? Yeah. Like if you want something, no matter how petty you're going

00:47:33.460 to go get it. That's, that's how I've always lived. Yeah, me too. I don't like, um, I need

00:47:39.100 to have the absolute best and now and right now yeah yeah i want results right now i don't like

00:47:44.340 delayed i want to see it happen right now because it is possible like other people are getting it

00:47:49.400 so like why why can't i get dude it's complete that's what's so crazy like 24 hours is an

00:47:53.800 eternity you can fall in love i i truly believe this you can fall in absolute deep love with

00:47:59.960 someone in less than 24 hours you can have a whole relationship you can have a whole relationship in 0.98

00:48:03.360 under a day if the fucking cocktails are right and everything's mixing the correct way 0.99

00:48:08.640 that can happen empires get built in a day people get rich in a day yeah it happens every fucking 0.99

00:48:13.540 day the most incredible fucking barriers and oceans move for people on a daily basis 0.98

00:48:18.780 so people don't view time correctly they think 24 hours is a very short period of time when 0.98

00:48:24.900 in reality it's an entire life you can live a whole life in one day so what do you think about

00:48:30.600 delayed gratification not a fan at all doesn't work for me but certainly you have to have some

00:48:39.300 sort of long term yeah it's built into the game but like i'm not accepting of it is what i'm trying

00:48:43.240 to say okay people often say that like the way to have a positive mindset to beat depression

00:48:51.240 and i think i don't know i haven't seen you talk about that but i think you're similar to me where

00:48:56.340 i think i am depressed the way a lot of people are depressed but i just don't act on it i just

00:49:03.080 don't think about it exactly like i think i think a lot of people who have a similar frame of the

00:49:08.460 world like they come from um like a place of misery but i just don't choose to think about

00:49:13.240 it i i push it away 100 repressing it yeah i'm in the same state a constant state of repressing

00:49:19.100 misery 100 i don't know a single honestly bro i don't know a single person in america who's not

00:49:25.040 depressed truly deep down like there's some level of it there's just some level what does depression 0.99

00:49:33.420 mean to you fuck man it's it's just the awareness that you constantly have to move it's the 0.99

00:49:42.820 awareness that you can't you can never rest on your laurels or everything collapses yeah you 1.00

00:49:48.200 know what i mean that creates like a sort of like low level anxiety depression in people yeah like

00:49:52.880 as a man right you can go to the gym for 20 years and lay off the gas pedal and look like a piece 0.99

00:49:57.840 of shit in in one year like you'll just lose everything if you take your foot off the gas 1.00

00:50:03.520 pedal entropy like you got to fight off fucking decay as a man constantly and like you'll lose 1.00

00:50:11.520 your mental faculties too if you stop challenging yourself i think that's the biggest thing too is 0.99

00:50:16.540 like as a man you always have to have be biting something off more than you can chew

00:50:22.100 and then figuring it out like taking on the most towering challenges and tackling

00:50:27.380 challenges that are way over your head and then trying to figure it out and i've always been like

00:50:32.780 that and that's how i've learned goes back to your question about my tweet about how i never

00:50:38.920 consciously learned a skill the way i got good at anything was just going in to something that

00:50:44.960 was way over my head that i had no concept of even how to do it and then injecting myself and 0.99

00:50:50.680 immersing myself in it and then figuring it the fuck out and you'll get pretty good at shit if 0.97

00:50:55.360 you do that enough times yeah it's like the the most amount of studying i ever got done was when 0.98

00:51:01.640 i push it off to the last second and i just had to perform because the exam's the next day and

00:51:06.100 then it's amazing how you just start retaining everything right you got like two hour deadline

00:51:10.120 all of a sudden we get done all of a sudden you're rain man you're just everything you read

00:51:15.180 is just getting fucking hard written into the dome then how different do you think men are 0.84

00:51:21.160 do you think all men are pretty much i hold the belief that pretty much all men are the same 0.97

00:51:25.900 we all have the same imperatives we all have the desire to conquer to be great to be respected

00:51:31.140 do you think that anybody is really that much different not at all i 100 agree with you i think

00:51:38.340 we're all literally built the exact fucking same when it's all said and done god deals very fair 0.87

00:51:44.480 hands that's just how it is the hands that you get dealt are pretty fucking fair everyone has a 0.87

00:51:51.680 glaring achilles heel weakness right mike tyson was the greatest power puncher in the world but

00:51:58.720 look at his voice right but nobody talks about it because of how because of how good he was

00:52:03.860 so you talk about overshadowing your weaknesses which was my point earlier right you become so

00:52:08.640 good at something people will completely forego your weaknesses you know but if he wasn't the 0.99

00:52:14.900 best power puncher in the world that motherfucker would have been bullied and and looked down on 0.99

00:52:18.980 and derided the rest of his life he would have been made fun of right he would have been a 0.98

00:52:23.320 caricature of himself so my point is it doesn't matter how naturally blessed or gifted or talented 0.98

00:52:29.220 a man is there's always a fucking glaring weakness everyone has the the fucking achilles heel 0.99

00:52:35.960 and we all know what that is we all know what our genuine fucking vices and weaknesses are that we 0.99

00:52:41.060 the demons that we just can't beat within us we all have them but you have to perform better than 0.97

00:52:47.560 you have to perform better than than you have to counteract it with such force and

00:52:51.980 overwhelmingness that it can't defeat you and that's where the pressure of being a high performer

00:52:58.500 that's why that's the only game worth playing like the only thing that you should be doing

00:53:05.160 as a man is trying to be great because in that process it doesn't even matter if you don't hit

00:53:11.420 the goal if you come up with the loftiest craziest goal and you actually commit to the journey with

00:53:18.200 full force and you fail it doesn't matter it's about who you became in the process of chasing

00:53:25.460 that goal that's at the end of the day it's about who you become on the other side what kind of man

00:53:31.220 you became and so that's why it's a worthy endeavor to you know they say shoot for the stars and who 0.98

00:53:37.820 cares if you miss you're on top of the mountain that's true that's real shit last time we spoke 0.98

00:53:44.340 i told you how you're like um you kind of embody that like rogue american like you're like the guy 0.99

00:53:50.940 in the american spirit cigarette box that's kind of what i think when i think about boot to force

00:53:55.240 what do you think and you've said that a couple times uh just now you're saying that everybody

00:53:59.520 in america you don't know anybody in america that's not depressed um i know you spent some

00:54:03.660 time and you've you've pretty well traveled right what is the difference between that american

00:54:08.720 mentality and why do we have more more of a need we americans have more way more highs and lows

00:54:15.940 than people in other places i think i think people in europe like an italian would be more

00:54:22.240 comfortable with the hand-rolled cigarettes and a couple glasses of wine and a cannoli they can

00:54:27.540 turn off uh that constant need to perform more like in spain for example they have lunch from

00:54:33.160 3 to 7 p.m it's insane they're just eating pasta drinking wine for four hours what is the difference

00:54:38.660 between that american spirit and the european spirit it all has to do with competition and

00:54:43.940 innovation the competition here is so steep as a man right like let's take miami for example 0.81

00:54:50.420 in miami if you want to make it in miami you probably have to be fit have your money in check 0.90

00:54:55.660 You got to tick a lot of fucking boxes in order to probably lock down the baddest girl in Miami. 1.00

00:55:00.580 Yeah. Right. Yeah. You can't be slacking in any department. 1.00

00:55:04.620 And America offers the opportunity to compete at the highest levels in any game that you want to play.

00:55:10.140 It's a very gamified society, whereas the other societies, the European societies, they're a little more primitive.

00:55:16.580 They're a little more primal. You know what I'm saying?

00:55:19.500 Capitalism isn't really like the driving force in those countries. They're about the siesta life.

00:55:23.500 they want to sit around they're more in touch with their nature and the fucking 1.00

00:55:27.460 the dionysian you know the god of wine they just want to fucking fucking drink wine and make art 1.00

00:55:33.200 and listen to music and shit like that um but if you're a gamer and you have that that fucking 0.99

00:55:39.500 that alligator blood where you wake up in the morning and you just absolutely have to get after 0.97

00:55:45.660 it this is the best place to be because if you want to perform at the highest levels

00:55:50.180 you're gonna find a market here for that any game that you want to play in america you can either

00:55:56.380 create the game invent the game or compete in the game so all bases are covered there's nothing in

00:56:02.420 your wildest imagination that you cannot produce here you can make it happen it's possible it ain't

00:56:10.300 possible in those other places because no one has the drive the baseline there's like an invisible

00:56:14.700 cultural kind of spell kind of malaise like a fog almost that kind of hovers over the town where

00:56:19.600 no one really is trying to be worth hundreds of millions in italy like you know what i'm saying

00:56:25.080 that's a general consensus here everybody wants the bag everybody wants the bag so it raises it

00:56:33.080 kind of raises the standards which like i said winners are always having fun that should be fun 0.90

00:56:40.580 knowing that you have that opportunity every day you should wake up and never be truly fucking 0.93

00:56:45.660 destabilized or immobilized you think you're ever gonna reach that point sometimes i think about

00:56:52.900 that i'm not ever satisfied i've always wanted more like every accomplishment i had was fun for

00:56:59.500 like a couple i mean was like satisfying for a bit and then it was always on to the next thing

00:57:03.760 always i speak to my dad about this and he's like that sort of lifestyle is exhausting to him

00:57:09.640 thinking that it's a constant pursuit and grind like some people just want to like

00:57:13.780 open up a book and, you know, look at the backyard, mow the lawn. Do you think that

00:57:19.520 you're going to ever be able to turn off that hunger for the game? No, no. And I've accepted it.

00:57:27.920 I'm at peace with it. It brings me peace and alleviation to know that that's never going to

00:57:32.420 go away. The work is never done. But I have kind of like a Taoist kind of like Eastern philosophy

00:57:41.140 with this where i do realize that you have to you have to go get you have to get rich just to prove 0.99

00:57:47.520 to yourself that it never mattered yeah you got to go get the fucking best girl on the planet to 0.92

00:57:52.280 realize that it's just you have to you have to achieve every goal on your list just to prove 0.97

00:57:56.000 to yourself that it's worthless in the end and that's the best part about life is that's actually

00:58:01.500 what happens like you get you hit that milestone and you're like it's whatever so what do you think

00:58:07.620 the point is? Of life? Yeah. To push yourself as far as you can possibly go than what you were

00:58:14.020 supposed to be on paper. Like what your genetic hard cap was supposed to be, what everybody said

00:58:20.380 you were supposed to cap out at. Your job, I believe, is to exceed that. It's very simple.

00:58:26.200 I think life is simple. I think as a man, we're born to go as far and try to climb as high as

00:58:31.280 you can possibly go see how far you can take it but the daoist principle like that a lot of that

00:58:38.380 eastern philosophy is sort of acceptance of everything they they meditate they get which i 0.99

00:58:42.540 don't fuck with at all by the way yeah i don't fuck with that stuff at all because you're taking 0.99

00:58:47.220 a class of people that are already invisible and already doing nothing and you're telling them to 1.00

00:58:51.580 sit there in a room and meditate but like true meditation is when you're under actual fire

00:58:56.620 you have actual horrific stress on your shoulders and you can be in a zen place

00:59:01.620 that's like an active state of meditation like my best meditations are when i have the most

00:59:06.120 pressure on my shoulders that's when i'm the most calm anybody can be calm in a candle lit room 0.98

00:59:12.400 right with feng shui anyone can do that how many motherfuckers can truly keep that 0.97

00:59:18.160 calm state of mind and that grace under fire when the world's crumbling on you

00:59:22.760 that's true meditation to me so what parts of that the eastern philosophy do you resonate with

00:59:29.220 because that's what i've always associated like the buddha just the whole kind of idea that i've

00:59:33.460 kind of i've kind of twisted this in my own fashion but the whole idea that the terrain is flat

00:59:37.540 like people think it's the mountain to success is so fucking arduous and you got to keep climbing 0.76

00:59:44.460 climbing everything's relatively pretty fucking flat life is relatively easy if you lean into your 0.94

00:59:49.560 nature and what you're naturally good at it things are pretty effortless like this the process of 0.99

00:59:55.580 success right like you're going through it now you've been doing this shit so long you're going 0.95

01:00:00.040 on a stream for a couple hours it's just a walk in the it's as simple as you walking to your car 0.99

01:00:04.340 it's just totally fucking ingrained you don't have to ever fucking think about it you got the 0.99

01:00:10.580 gift you can flick on a camera and you can talk shit for fucking five hours if you have to yeah 0.99

01:00:14.940 and i always forget how anxiety inducing that is for most people because like this whole day 0.99

01:00:20.240 like stream snipers coming up or like um the girls that i had on stream it's like you put a camera on 0.92

01:00:25.120 them and you they're they're fucking shaking shaking like like these four mexican kids came 1.00

01:00:29.800 up and they were just that this this whole thing was completely horrifying you often forget how 0.98

01:00:34.420 um it becomes second nature when you you lean into what you're good at for so long exactly

01:00:39.160 it's effortless now for you yeah yeah this workout this power legend workout is going to

01:00:45.120 be difficult it's going to be a big test it's going to be a challenge how long did it take

01:00:49.800 to get good at it i'd say probably like six months that's it yeah but i was going i was doing two a

01:00:55.380 days so like i would go in there i would i was i was i already had a pretty strong base i was a

01:01:00.640 fighter in italy yeah i had smokers i had 12 muay thai smokers and i was doing muay thai up there

01:01:06.960 for a while and playing high stakes poker. And when I came back to the States, I actually broke

01:01:11.460 my hand in my last fight and I had a compound fracture. My bone was sticking out of my wrist

01:01:17.320 and I had to go to the hospital and they said, you need pins and screws in your hand or your

01:01:22.400 hand will never be the same. And I said, fuck you. And I walked out and I was like, I'm going to go 1.00

01:01:29.340 on the craziest journey to figure this out on my own, because I think there's a better way to do

01:01:33.220 it. And I got into strength training and by learning strength training, I happened to come

01:01:39.160 across physical therapy. And I figured out that if you get a strong knowledge of strength training

01:01:44.260 combined with physical therapy, you can almost treat any injury yourself. But the bottom line

01:01:49.840 is I ended up working with this guy who was like, bro, if you fucking do these specific exercises 0.90

01:01:54.920 that I'm going to show you how to do, obviously I was in a cast for like nine months, but my rehab 0.97

01:01:59.240 protocol bro I fixed my hand by myself and it is a perfectly brand new hand I have zero fucking 0.95

01:02:05.800 limitations and had I listened to the doctor I'd have fucking metal plates in my wrist 0.82

01:02:10.000 and so I took that same ethos in strength training and I ran with it and I was training twice a day 0.73

01:02:18.440 because I was so addicted to the to the benefits that I was getting from it my hand was just

01:02:22.040 getting better and better and even gripping the bar gripping the bar was just getting better and

01:02:27.040 that's sort of the other thing that i learned about movement and how movement is truly the

01:02:31.960 panacea for life like if you go through a heartbreak as a man if you keep moving it doesn't

01:02:38.100 hurt as bad when you have a severe injury and you and you move with it and you figure out a way to

01:02:43.160 to work around it but you still are trying to find ways to be active you feel better you you heal

01:02:48.860 quicker life is very much like that and so by doing these these things even though it was brutal pain 0.98

01:02:54.140 i was healing at like a 50 faster rate than i was supposed to because i just kept fucking 0.98

01:03:00.800 exercising i was training my body you have to use your hand you have to fucking use your hand again 0.96

01:03:06.280 so your body adapts the same way 100 situation it's the same thing that i talked about the 0.96

01:03:12.020 metaphor of the revenant that guy didn't have medical attention his legs were broken

01:03:16.020 but by moving and forcing himself even though he could only move one one moment at a time even

01:03:23.180 sometimes a centimeter at a time he was teaching his body that it has to recover you have no choice 0.99

01:03:28.660 you're gonna die if you don't fucking force your body to respond to the pressure that it's under 0.94

01:03:32.780 and it's no different with us and so i learned that firsthand no pun intended and uh bro it's 0.99

01:03:40.720 a brand new hand and so i just got addicted to the process and it never gets old getting stronger

01:03:45.180 people are like isn't it boring you've been training for 20 years i'm like bro getting

01:03:49.520 stronger never gets old. It's addicting. It's addicting because you're seeing progress every

01:03:54.600 time you go. And, uh, I had a very unusual, unorthodox approach to it. I went in there

01:04:01.160 with the mentality that if I train every day to my maximum capacity, I'm going to get stronger.

01:04:07.500 And people were like, you mean to tell me you don't have a workout plan? You don't write down

01:04:12.320 your reps. You don't, you don't follow a structure. And I was like, no, I go in there and I put heavy

01:04:17.580 things over my head every day, you're going to get strong as fuck. It's that simple. And that's 0.99

01:04:23.200 what I did. And in six months, I surpassed everybody in my gym who'd been training for

01:04:29.440 like four years because I just had that ruthless mentality that I was going to go in there and I

01:04:34.400 was competitive. I wanted to be better than everybody. Get some water. Yeah, for sure.
