Summary
A conversation I had with a guy I went to school with. We talk about time and how much it means to be busy and how important it is to get things done. I think a lot of people don t realize how much time they spend on the things they should be doing. It's not just the right thing to do, it's the most important thing you can do. And that's why it's so important to have the time to do the things you need to do to get the most out of your life. I mean, if you don't have time to go to the gym, go to sleep, or do something productive, you're not going to get shit done. And if you do have time, you should make the most of it. I'm not saying that's not a good thing, I'm saying that it's a waste of time. And I'm talking about the amount of time you should spend doing the things that you should do to make sure you have the best possible life you can you can possibly have. I don't even care about that, I care about the time you have to do it and the effort you put in to get stuff done. You're not gonna get much more done than you do it, so why not put in the most amount of effort you can in the best way you possibly can? I'll tell you what I think about it, it'll make you feel like you're doing the most you can. you can have the most amazing life possible, and you can be the most awesome person you can ever be. - Mark Cuban and much more. - Luke's new book "The Realest Man in the World" is out now.

Oh, hello, Luke. Didn't expect you there. Sorry, I was just busy enjoying a coffee,
00:00:15.120
texting bitches from my casino. It seems, if I check my diamond watch, you're a little
00:00:21.440
bit early. But I'll continue anyway, because I know all the viewers at home enjoy our take
00:00:25.340
speeches very, very much. We're going to have a conversation about a gentleman called Jack
00:00:29.020
today. Jack's not his real name. I don't use his real name. If I use his real name, Simon
00:00:34.540
is going to be pissed. So we're going to call Simon Jack for the remainder of the video.
00:00:39.540
Jack's the one I went to school with, and he recently came to visit me in Romania. Saw the
00:00:44.180
casinos, saw the world title belts, saw the bitches, saw the supercars, saw the mansion.
00:00:53.600
He even said to me, man, you're still in good shape. Saw the six pack. I said, of course.
00:01:00.640
Why would I not be in good shape? He's like, oh yeah, he's just, you know, trying to find
00:01:03.880
time to go to the gym, blah, blah, blah. And he's sitting there talking to me. And you
00:01:07.280
know what? For all you people who ever recognized me in person, because my channel is starting
00:01:10.720
to grow up in Unshadowband, and I start to recognize them. When I go out, people go, hey, you're
00:01:14.560
taking speech. And they come up to me and they try and talk to me and stuff. If you talk to me
00:01:17.940
and I don't really know you, at least 50% of my brain is considering Aikido. So when
00:01:24.040
you're coming at me, hey, half of me is thinking, all right, cool. Yeah, nice to meet you. But
00:01:29.180
half of me is thinking, maybe he's in a segment. I have to snap his neck in real time. I think
00:01:34.320
about these things. So when you ever meet me, know I am preparing to Aikido as friendly
00:01:38.800
as I may seem. This motherfucker's talking about time. Talking to the man in the diamond
00:01:43.940
watch about time. I know about time, friend. Diamonds. You ain't got shit, Casio. So he's
00:01:51.700
talking about time. I'm thinking about Aikido again. And I realized me and him went to school
00:01:56.340
together. We're basically exactly the same age. We're talking about time. He's amazed
00:02:00.620
by my accomplishments and my achievements. He's amazed by it. Because he knows we'll talk
00:02:05.440
about it separately. But we've had the exact same amount of human time. We've lived the same
00:02:13.060
number of years. The difference between him and I is that he's wasted his time. And I've
00:02:19.440
wasted precisely fucking none. Anybody who's ever lived with me or been around me says the
00:02:24.820
same thing. Andrew, you're the highest energy person I know. If you're awake, which seems
00:02:29.460
to be always, you are doing something. You're never just chilling. You're never idle. You're
00:02:35.640
never just TV. You're never, I need to relax. You're never, let's sit on the beach, sit by
00:02:40.660
the pool. No, it's go, go, go. Get up, get shit done. Even on this very day, I was up
00:02:46.980
at 5.30 a.m. to drive from the Serbian border where I've been cruising around the mountains
00:02:50.880
in my super fast loop. To drive all the way back here. To get here, hit the gym, change,
00:02:56.480
have a meeting with the guy who's installing my quarter of a million dollars safe to flex
00:03:00.080
on my diamond watches and my house renovation. Organize a chauffeur, because I have so much
00:03:04.700
to do in the city tonight, to bring me here. Do some casino paperwork. And at 9 p.m.
00:03:09.260
I have to talk about investment for $11 million with my boy at the cigar bar. So I'm busy.
00:03:15.580
And that's not just an extraordinary day. That's just a day. I get things done. So this
00:03:20.860
motherfucker is of the same number of years as me. And I try every single time someone
00:03:25.240
talks about how they don't have the time. I think and analyze to the countless hours
00:03:30.300
I dedicated towards my fantastic successes. I literally couldn't even estimate the amount
00:03:36.480
of time I spent on this. It's all I did. Six hours a day, seven hours a day, seven days
00:03:41.660
a week, 10 years, 15 years, 11 years. Maybe I had a month off there, two weeks off there.
00:03:47.780
It's all I ever did. I can't even with a calculator add up how many hours I spent doing that. And
00:03:53.280
what's remarkable is he had the exact same hours as me. What did he do with them? Fucking
00:03:59.800
nothing. You say, Tate, how'd you spend your 20s? Kickboxing. Eating, sleeping, becoming a world-level
00:04:06.880
combatant athlete. Fucking some hoes. Try your rich. What'd you do with your 20s? Oh, I was working
00:04:14.720
and Netflix. People don't do anything. It really amazes me. Like even like I'm quite big on Twitter
00:04:25.440
and YouTube and I look at these other like success coaches and shit. They don't do anything. I really
00:04:30.940
look at their lives and go, you've had all these hours and there's nothing remarkable about you.
00:04:34.840
Imagine being alive for thousands and thousands and thousands of hours and you've dedicated none
00:04:39.400
of them towards excellence. Literally, precisely fucking zero. You've done enough work to pay your
00:04:44.740
bills. Maybe you want a little bit more money. That's what you call ambitious. To have some more
00:04:49.400
money to satisfy your greed. That's your ambition. That's it. You don't wake up and think, you know
00:04:55.440
what? I want to be a bad motherfucker. You know, this guy goes, oh man, you're still in good shape.
00:05:00.520
I don't, I don't say you got the time to hit the gym. How can you not have the time to go to the gym?
00:05:03.840
All the shit I do. I run two YouTube channels, four companies, 20 girlfriends, casinos, traveling
00:05:11.200
around the world. I got to drive 15 supercars. And I have time to train. You don't have time to
00:05:17.380
train with your fucking ugly wife, sitting at home, going to your job, eight hours of
00:05:21.380
measly day. That's it. And you're busy. Most people have absolutely and utterly wasted their
00:05:28.820
fucking lives. If you're watching this, I want you to know that 99% of you have wasted your
00:05:33.660
life. So far, all the hours you've been alive, the majority of them, the conscious ones where
00:05:39.640
you weren't being a lazy fuck asleep, you have wasted. You could have dedicated them towards
00:05:44.180
brilliance. You could be an amazing piano player. You didn't even fucking try, did you?
00:05:48.860
Because you're a dickhead. And that's how I became a cute functional champion, a multi-millionaire,
00:05:53.660
casino owner, webcam pin, blah, blah, blah. I can pull achievements out my fucking ass.
00:05:59.940
Bigger than any one you have. I have 20 achievements larger than any single individual achievement
00:06:05.860
you have ever done in your life. Ever. And I've managed to do 20 of them in the same human
00:06:12.420
time. And if there's any spark of ambition in you, if you're any fraction of a man, what
00:06:19.840
I've said to you should resonate and it should bother you and you should change. You should
00:06:23.660
blink and cure your brain. And next time you catch yourself jerking off the porn hub, even
00:06:28.960
before you jizz, you should sit there and go, this is a waste of three minutes. I had to do
