In this episode of the podcast, we talk about the Freemasons, psychedelics, and why I don t think you should take them. We also talk about how to deal with people asking you how to be a better salesman.
00:02:55.720An LSC trip really actually changed my life.
00:02:57.900When I was 18, I had stopped making YouTube videos for like two, three years.
00:03:03.320I started when I was really young, when I was like 14.
00:03:05.760And then I was going through – I was basically just being lazy.
00:03:09.020And then this one specific acid trip, like I don't know if you've ever taken psychedelics, but it just makes you confront everything that you're ignoring.
00:03:36.680Well, also, and I'm very happy for you, but I feel like a good long look in the mirror or a conversation with a high-value dude who you aspire to be could do exactly the same thing.
00:03:48.700I've sat with people and had short conversations with them and they'd be like, come back a few years later, that conversation changed my life.
00:03:55.120And it's just another way of opening your eyes.
00:03:57.080But you have the power within yourself to do that without other people, without other influence, without the influence of psychedelics, in my opinion.
00:04:53.080But there was a game called, before Fortnite, before it all existed, the huge game when I was in my late teens, early 20s, was Call of Duty Modern Warfare.
00:05:03.440And then Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
00:05:40.920You know, if you're wasting your life, you're wasting your talents, you're sitting there jerking off all day.
00:05:44.840If you're sitting around dudes who are talking about who their favorite porn star is, leave that group of friends.
00:05:49.820Cut low-quality people out of your life.
00:05:51.820And slowly, as you go out into the world and apply yourself at different things that are more useful, you'll probably find out that you're not as useless as you think.
00:05:59.680Or you might be, in which case, you know, we all need someone to flip the burgers and wash the cars.
00:06:33.500The only person other than my father who I would say was like a father figure to me, besides the guy who currently runs the war room, the highest-ranking member of the war room.
00:06:49.300If there's no kickboxing gym in your town, and there's just a bunch of clowns who don't know how to fight, don't do that, because you're not going to learn shit.
00:06:55.760I just saw what happened that there was a great instructor who happened to be in the same town as me, and I was blessed to find him.
00:07:01.820People are asking about your time on Shipwrecked, and do you know what happened to the other people on the show?
00:07:05.600I watched some of it, but then my stream got taken down for copyright.
00:07:08.920Yeah, it's a, I mean, it was an interesting show.
00:07:11.240It was, at the time, my brother and I were doing okay.
00:07:15.280I mean, I had, I always had less than $10,000 in the bank at that time, but I was doing okay.
00:07:21.400And I decided to go on this reality TV show.
00:07:23.940And the reason I decided to take this plunge was I thought, you know what?
00:07:27.820Private Island, you know, in the middle of nowhere, it's an experience I'm not going to be able to replicate no matter how rich I get.
00:07:34.580I was completely wrong, because I could fucking finance 10 shows like that today.
00:07:38.260But I just thought it was going to be a cool thing to do, and I'm glad I did it.
00:07:43.020I was never glad I did it until now, because now people are playing back the clips of the 22-year-old Tristan.
00:07:48.900And they're saying, look, we've got to get shit done, we've got to stay focused, we've got to build the shelters.
00:07:53.680Oh, you, you can't handle this, you're going to end up a loser.
00:07:56.240But I had the right frame of mind, and looking back on my younger self, I'm your age in that show.
00:08:02.340And I'm like, wow, like, that's really cool to see how well I've translated that into the real world and got to where I got.
00:08:13.360It's the reason I started Take Confidential.
00:08:15.600I didn't think that that channel was ever going to have a massive following.
00:08:18.580I thought, you know what, when I'm 60 years old, I can look back at what I was doing and laugh and smile, because my life has been a lot of fun.
00:08:26.060So let's get a cameraman, let's start filming, and let's just start putting stuff out there.
00:08:30.700And now it's, you know, a massively popular show.
00:09:30.520But asking me is the wrong thing to do, especially because I don't know what the fuck you do.
00:09:35.000If you were a personal friend of mine, maybe find your personal friends whose opinions you value and go into an in-depth explanation of your problems to them and hope for some positive feedback.
00:10:17.200It just, I feel like being on, I never wanted to be a multimillionaire.
00:10:25.100Andrew once said to me, famously, Tristan, if we could just find a way to make, this is before the internet, if we could just find a way to make like 50, 100 pounds a day from home, that would alleviate a lot of our problems.
00:10:35.680Start small, because as you climb the mountain and you reach where you wanted to reach, you realize that there are new mountains to climb.
00:10:43.220There are new mountains to climb for me right now.
00:10:45.820And I'm at a level that a lot of people can't even dream of getting to.
