The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast - Q and A： Life Update 2024

00:00:00.000 How do you balance work-life?

00:00:01.920 What's your daily routine?

00:00:03.700 Hmm, okay, what do you do for work?

00:00:05.780 What do you even do?

00:00:06.900 I just live off of my dad.

00:00:08.360 That's what people want me to say.

00:00:09.640 Please, nobody, like, soundbite that

00:00:12.840 so that that's my answer.

00:00:16.560 Hey guys, long time no see.

00:00:19.140 I thought I'd do a Q&A before I start podcasting again.

00:00:21.940 So the interview podcast will be out next week,

00:00:25.180 but this week we have a Q&A.

00:00:27.000 and so I also thought I'd start with a general life update because I did disappear for a while

00:00:33.000 again so the the biggest change I guess for me in the last number of months would be

00:00:39.960 fully embracing Christianity now this is going to sound strange to people who aren't Christians

00:00:46.740 hopefully it doesn't sound strange to Christians I did fully I thought I was fully embracing it

00:00:52.280 before, and I did believe, but I didn't feel like I do now. I went from believing in the Bible to

00:00:59.340 knowing it's true, and I don't think I can explain that in a rational way, but that's what happened

00:01:05.440 in the last four months, if that makes sense. I went through a seriously spiritual experience

00:01:10.940 that completely, completely, completely turned my world upside down. I felt the Holy Spirit descend

00:01:18.380 on me, something I now don't believe I had until now. I felt Jesus's forgiveness and about a week

00:01:27.880 and a half later got baptized. I didn't put that online and I will, but it was a crazy enough

00:01:34.140 experience. I'll probably post it in July or August, but I need to figure out what I want to

00:01:39.860 say exactly. But quickly for now, I understand what Christians mean by saved. I always thought

00:01:46.520 that was, I don't know, I guess I didn't really think about it, but I thought it was an intense

00:01:51.420 way of putting it. But now I get it. My desires have changed. I have more patience and peace and

00:01:57.240 love and life is much improved. I converted to Christianity in 2021, but I was kind of missing

00:02:05.200 the Jesus component, which is the main component, without even knowing I was missing it until about

00:02:11.260 four months ago I don't think people who aren't saved can understand what that component is so I

00:02:17.640 don't and I'm not trying to say that in a negative way and I don't fault myself for not getting it

00:02:23.160 because it's really hard to wrap your head around when you're not Christian but I now know I didn't

00:02:31.580 feel the relationship with him like I do now I'll tell you guys in detail about exactly what

00:02:36.580 happened in a few months once I wrap my head around it more but it's been transformative

00:02:40.560 and I'm extremely grateful. There were more reasons for the gap. That was a big one.

00:02:46.940 But part of it was spiritual. That was huge. I wasn't sure. And then that kind of led to me

00:02:53.600 not being sure what I was doing in my life that I shouldn't be doing sinfully, right? And so I

00:02:58.840 wanted to make sure that I wasn't doing the podcast for sinful reasons. And I wanted to give

00:03:03.360 myself, which sounds intense, but like social media, you get a lot of attention on social

00:03:08.820 media and things. So I wanted to make sure that that was good. And I needed time to get my

00:03:13.720 priorities straight, which I think I have, hence the podcast up and running again. And then we've

00:03:20.200 been working really hard on Peterson Academy, which is going to be launching at the very beginning of

00:03:24.960 July. So that's eaten up a ton of time. I had a baby in December, George, and I honestly should

00:03:30.780 have taken more time off at the beginning. Like I went pretty much right back into podcasting and

00:03:35.040 I timed it when he napped, but it was a lot. It wasn't good for my stress levels. And then I

00:03:42.780 needed some time with my husband, Jordan. We also worked on a new product that we'd be launching

00:03:47.420 soon from Fuller Health, the company that does the hangover supplement after party.

00:03:52.100 I toured a bit with my dad. I just went to a few shows that were near Scottsdale. And then we had

00:03:58.400 some major legal issues that weren't my fault, but I had to deal with them anyway, that wasted

00:04:04.240 a ton of time. So some unnecessary drama was thrown in there as well. So a lot has happened

00:04:11.400 over the last four months and I didn't have my head in the game for podcasting or online content

00:04:15.340 without being distracted. So decided to wait until it felt right. So now I'm back. And now we'll get

00:04:21.620 to the Q&A portion. Hey guys, I've partnered with Merrick Health, a very cool telehealth company

00:04:28.960 for health optimization. Derek Monroe helped start it. I had him on a while ago last year.

00:04:35.120 I only ever advertise things I actually use and recommend, and I've recommended Merrick Health to

00:04:40.320 so many people offline. As you probably know, men's testosterone in particular is at an all-time

00:04:46.900 low, and if you're suffering from low motivation and low sex drive, low energy, my first suggestion

00:04:52.680 is optimize your diet, but I'd also suggest doing blood work. Merrick Health offers in-depth

00:04:58.120 hormone panels as well as a ton of other blood work a lot of the blood work you can get tested

00:05:02.840 at a regular doctor's office doesn't go in depth properly or even test the right things and if

00:05:07.720 you're going to try to optimize hormones you definitely want someone treating you who knows

00:05:11.480 what they're doing otherwise you get a doctor that doesn't prescribe treatments properly

00:05:15.560 the doctors that work with merrick are very in the know about lifestyle optimization and can

00:05:20.280 prescribe hormones peptides high quality vitamins supplements fun things etc i use them for blood

00:05:26.920 work my dad uses them my husband uses them my brothers use them for blood work they do your

00:05:31.640 blood work and then thoroughly explain the markers and suggest treatments if you want to try the same

00:05:35.880 hormone panel i've had done three times now you can check them out at merrickhealth.com

00:05:42.840 so many people have hormone problems nowadays that could be fixed with some supplements or hormone

00:05:47.720 therapy and diet of course and they could feel so much better pretty quickly so check them out

00:05:59.000 and in the pinned comment enjoy the rest of this episode do you have advice for young people

00:06:04.220 dating yes i have advice i'd give myself anyway one health fix your diet first and foremost

00:06:11.560 sleep properly but diet is key cut out processed foods stop eating junk stop drinking junk

00:06:17.120 that matters so much it'll change everything in your life plus make you hotter I wish someone

00:06:23.460 had told me that when I was younger I didn't realize just eating healthily will make you

00:06:28.020 hotter that would have been great two money get good at something and figure out how to support 0.98

00:06:33.480 yourself I'd spend until you're 23 or 24 setting up your life so you have some money as a woman 1.00

00:06:39.620 that's important too so you don't end up accidentally reliant on a psychopath number 0.99

00:06:43.960 three, education, read. Part of the reason we're launching Peterson Academy is to give people a

00:06:48.920 place to go where they can learn from the best, but also talk to other people interested in those

00:06:52.920 ideas on the social media platform built into the app, which I'm so excited about. So educate

00:07:00.680 yourself. Number four, practice boundaries. This was particularly important for me to learn.

00:07:08.220 And I've just gotten better at it the older I've got, but learn to say no when you don't want to

00:07:13.540 do something. Stop letting people push you around. The more you practice, the easier it is to figure

00:07:18.480 out what you want and don't like, and the more seriously you're, you're taken and the easier it

00:07:24.540 is to negotiate in a relationship and stay truthful. So practice boundaries. That's huge.

00:07:30.420 Number five, I've got a bunch. I've got a bunch, I think, um, write down what type of person you

00:07:35.680 want. So you know what you're looking for. Dad taught me that actually dare to dream,

00:07:39.940 write what you want down personality humor is money important or looks important is health

00:07:45.500 important etc write all that down that helps a lot then you can identify when people pop up and

00:07:52.540 you're like yeah that's kind of what i was looking for number six listen to your intuition if you're

00:08:00.100 getting danger or crazy vibes run just stop and run there's plenty of people out there and

00:08:06.780 particularly for young women, don't just go off after the fun, charismatic guy, especially if

00:08:14.360 you're getting danger vibes. Number seven, don't sleep around. I don't even think I need to get 0.90

00:08:19.500 into that. It doesn't make people like you more. It doesn't make the men like you more. It's like

00:08:24.100 gross on a soul level. Don't do that. It's not worth it. Number eight, if you're trying to figure

00:08:31.540 out where to look for people uh I'd look in church if you have nowhere else to look that's a good

00:08:37.980 start even if you're not a Christian go scope out those churches and then maybe you'll find someone

00:08:43.020 who can help you become a Christian anyway Christian men are like they've got good morals

00:08:48.080 I would go go there and women too go there nine I don't know if I have ten I think I have nine

00:08:55.300 though improve what you look like diet and being healthy plays a huge role a huge role

00:09:35.780 been so low to be wanted improving yourself so you're someone people want to date is how you find

00:09:41.620 people they'll come to you after that yeah those are my nine tips what do you do for work okay what

00:09:47.860 do you even do i get that all the time i just live off of my dad that's what people want me to say

00:09:53.060 i'll get into what i actually do though and please nobody's like sound bite that so that that's my

00:09:59.540 answer at the beginning of the year i made a plan to try and grow every business i'm involved in

00:10:04.900 enough so that it operates basically without me that was the goal so that's one of my many goals

00:10:10.100 for the next year and it's well underway so i have more time with babies so there are three things i

00:10:17.060 do that make money two that don't but maybe will in the future and one that has cost an arm and a

00:10:24.740 a leg, but should be incredibly successful. I obviously I have my podcast, which I try to do

00:10:29.480 weekly. I know I took a break, um, but I try to do weekly and I'm moving that to in-person. So

00:10:34.500 that's fun. I monetize that through ads. Um, I have a company called fuller health. We're launching

00:10:40.720 a new product soon. Currently sells after party, which I actually have here. If you guys haven't

00:10:45.780 seen it, no, this is our box. It's a bougie box. Jordan was like, we need the box to be bougie.

00:10:52.560 And I was like, nobody wants that.

00:10:54.600 And it turns out people want that.

00:10:56.300 So maybe I don't know what I'm doing.

00:10:57.840 Anyway, this is Fuller Health.

00:11:01.100 After party.

00:11:02.480 Can I open it without ripping?

00:11:06.180 There it is in all of its glory.

00:11:08.580 So if you want to check that out, go to fullerhealth.com.

00:11:11.360 Or like I said, we're on Amazon finally.

00:11:14.020 Shipping super fast.

00:11:15.280 And please leave reviews.

00:11:16.280 I love them.

00:11:17.560 I read them all.

00:11:18.960 I'll link that in the description in the pinned comment.

00:11:21.060 anything i mention i'll just link below so you can press on it but i started fuller health partly

00:11:26.940 because i figured i might as well be selling my own products if i'm going to be advertising on

00:11:30.500 the podcast and partly because i couldn't find exactly what i wanted online that was actually a

00:11:35.960 huge part of it especially for the hangover supplement because i knew dihydromyricin

00:11:41.000 like fixes hangovers but i was sourcing it from really sketchy areas in like asia and i had to

00:11:47.660 buying Bitcoin at one point, or I found some that were too weak and were full of fillers that make

00:11:54.020 me feel like garbage. So I think with Fuller Health, I'm just going to make products that I

00:11:59.260 want. And it's just going to be this hodgepodge of like weird products. So we'll see what happens

00:12:04.980 with Fuller Health. Yeah. Yeah. Picture 20 year old Michaela being like, I found a magical herb

00:12:11.800 and it cures hangovers and just being laughed at by my roommates. And then picture me now,

00:12:17.740 and it's still kind of the same, but at least I have a product and don't suffer from hangovers

00:12:21.540 anymore. So there's that. So Jordan, my husband does a lot of work on Fuller Health too. And we

00:12:28.620 have a few people hired. So a lot of that is hands-off for me, except for marketing and coming

00:12:34.120 up with new products and doing some of the design and like fun stuff, high level involvement and

00:12:40.860 fun stuff. I'm very fortunate. So that, so that makes money. The podcast makes money. And then

00:12:46.440 I oversee my dad's brand again, at this point, very high level involvement over the last six

00:12:52.760 years. I've set up a team that does most of the work and they're great. Like everybody we work

00:12:56.660 with is amazing. And Jordan, husband, Jordan does a lot of the communication with people who work

00:13:02.000 there now. And I'm more involved in major decisions. So that's like a lot of communicating

00:13:07.460 with dad and talking about big ideas and then sometimes like stepping into solve problems but

00:13:13.980 that we've I've managed to turn into like hands off and when we had a baby Jordan and I wanted

00:13:20.120 to make sure that I had less to do so I could hang out with the baby more hang out with kids more

00:13:25.340 so that's actually worked out pretty well and then Peterson Academy has been a lot of work

00:13:33.040 like a ton a ton of work I had this idea this naive idea at the beginning that I was like yeah

00:13:38.300 online university how hard is that that was incorrect it is hard it's not hard like getting

00:13:46.800 healthy is hard but it's and it's fun so it doesn't really you know it's it's not like it

00:13:52.400 bothers me or anything but wow is it a lot more work than I initially envisioned so Jordan and I

00:13:57.680 work closely on this he has a COO position at Peterson Academy and has dealt with setting up

00:14:02.320 the company and hiring it to run really well so thank god for him i've been focused on focused

00:14:09.980 on like determining what peterson academy is vetting professors choosing courses ui on the

00:14:16.580 site design of everything to thumbnails to what features are available on the platform

00:14:21.240 i kind of went through what i wanted on a social media platform on an educational platform

00:14:26.600 and then i work with dad connecting with the government and institutions that we might

00:14:31.980 collaborate with talking to investors so high level things but also a lot of the ui design so

00:14:38.540 when you guys go on to the website i didn't build it i'm not a coder but a lot of what it looks like

00:14:43.740 comes from me and comes from jordan as well that project has left us in a ton of debt but

00:14:51.580 it's launching in july i think it's going to be great or i'm going to be very broke soon but

00:14:57.420 i can't wait for you guys to see the courses i cannot wait for you guys to see the courses

00:15:01.420 They're like, I don't know, people who were in university back in 2012, I tried to take

00:15:05.560 online courses and they were so bad.

00:15:08.600 I also didn't go to a great university.

00:15:10.180 I went to Concordia and I'm sure it's worse now, but they were so bad that these courses

00:15:15.560 are like Netflix level.

00:15:17.360 They're so good.

00:15:18.060 The professors are so good.

00:15:19.100 And the social media platform looks amazing.

00:15:21.580 So if you want to be notified of launch, you can sign up at petersonacademy.com.

00:15:26.120 I'll probably go on dad's podcast in July when we launched to describe it more, but

00:15:30.540 But we've basically built an ecosystem for cool people trying to learn.

00:15:33.980 The social media component is something I'm actually going to use and there won't be spam

00:15:37.700 or bots because it's subscription and like who's going to pay to spam a website.

00:15:44.780 Hopefully nobody, but who knows how big that will get.

00:15:48.340 So I'm ridiculously excited to launch that.

00:15:51.660 I can't believe we did it to be honest.

00:15:53.340 It's beautiful.

00:15:54.340 Dad can't believe it either.

00:15:55.340 He's like, wow, good job, which is nice.

00:15:58.380 So there's praise, much needed praise incoming from my dad, which is like, which is great. 0.68

00:16:04.960 I also can't wait to have a social media platform that isn't full of garbage too.

00:16:09.480 So we'll see.

00:16:11.320 We'll see what happens with that.

00:16:12.900 We'll see what happens with that.

00:16:14.480 I also love the professors are on board.

00:16:17.680 They're so cool.

00:16:18.440 Most of them want to do more courses, which is amazing.

00:16:21.040 They're interested in teaching just to teach because they love it rather than trying to

00:16:25.900 indoctrinate people.

00:16:26.740 so yeah peterson academy it's linked below if you want to be notified of launch we're going to roll

00:16:30.960 it out slowly over the next month so maybe you'll be lucky and get early access and then wham full

00:16:35.960 force in july the other thing i do that doesn't make money is biotoxin.com spreading awareness

00:16:41.420 about mold you guys are probably bored of the whole mold thing but it's a serious problem that

00:16:45.440 needs to be addressed at a government level i'm in touch with a non-profit and they finally got

00:16:49.420 some bills passed in congress so i think it will be addressed at a government level but it needs

00:16:54.960 more pushing. Um, they need, they need to change building codes. So that's a huge project. And so

00:17:01.880 that I'm putting time in there, but that obviously doesn't pay. So yeah, that's what I do. Those

00:17:09.580 things, those things, the health related things are important to me because you don't have anything

00:17:13.620 if you don't have your health and I would not have anything. I might be dead now. I probably would.

00:17:18.360 So that's what I do. So I don't just make money off dad. I do a bunch of things. Next question.

00:17:24.960 How do you manage to work so much with a baby and a six-year-old? So I work from home, but I have a

00:17:30.320 rota nanny that lives with me. A rota nanny means a rotational nanny. So I have two ladies that swap 0.53

00:17:37.160 out every two weeks so nobody gets exhausted. So I have 24-7 baby care if I need it. This is not 1.00

00:17:43.560 at all to say I don't see George, okay? I do work from home. Not everybody who has a nanny doesn't

00:17:51.900 see their kid. That's just a misconception. Plus moms want to see their baby. So I see George way

00:17:58.880 more than someone with a full-time job who has to go somewhere else to work. And I take care of him

00:18:03.000 and I work from home because I want to be able to do that. But I also wanted to set up my life so

00:18:07.140 that I can have more kids and work and do these projects. And I'm not worried about being isolated

00:18:14.400 or not being able to do something when I want to. I can go out on dates with my husband whenever I

00:18:19.080 want because there's someone here who knows george and it's like scary leaving a little baby with

00:18:24.520 somebody who doesn't know the baby so i don't think i'd be able to do that without having

00:18:29.000 somebody who lives in who knows george it's extremely expensive to be honest insanely

00:18:35.000 expensive but i can afford it now and there's no way i would be able to be at home with my kids

00:18:40.100 and have the freedom to work and get sleep and have a life without having a live-in nanny

00:18:44.660 Most so this is something I didn't I didn't know how wealthy people had their lives set up because I didn't know any wealthy people

00:18:52.180 So most ceos or executives that I know have this kind of setup if they have kids and the mom has a job as well

00:18:59.500 Like I said, I didn't know how super busy people had kids 0.65

00:19:02.280 Especially women and survived but this is usually how wrote a nannies. It's pretty normal for two executive working parents

00:19:09.500 I don't think people talk about it, but this is what they do

00:19:12.440 this is also going to allow me to have more kids without getting overwhelmed i have zero qualms

00:19:17.720 with this i'm very thankful i'm able to afford this i've worked really hard to be able to afford

00:19:22.280 this and it's what i want to spend my money on um it'll let me have more kids without risking

00:19:27.600 damaging my relationship becoming resentful and i'll still be able to work and the best part is

00:19:33.880 i get to see my kids all the time i usually use it so usually during the day the nannies will

00:19:39.800 cover a few shifts during the day but i know that if george is down for a nap they have eyes on him

00:19:45.280 i'll actually also do another video about what gadgets and things i use for babies because that's

00:19:49.480 helpful like i use something called a nanit to to watch him uh and we use baby connect to track

00:19:54.740 naps but i'll get into that in another video then if i'm also podcasting or on a meeting and he wakes

00:20:00.060 up from a nap the nanny can grab him and i can see him after i'm done it's almost like having a

00:20:04.820 grandma in house was scarlet my six-year-old who is done grade one so he's going to grade two next

00:20:11.900 year which is crazy i stayed home with her with no help and worked from home for the first year

00:20:17.340 like with a baby on my lap and for a number of reasons it was really not great i was super

00:20:22.660 isolated none of my friends had babies i was 24 or 25 at the time i think i was 25 at the time

00:20:28.000 i was really stressed it was scary enough that i was really anxious about having another baby

00:20:32.660 like it scarred me enough the isolation in particular scarred me enough that i was

00:20:37.780 quite anxious especially leading up to having george about having help and not being isolated

00:20:43.140 i was worried about having another baby i had a miserable pregnancy with her my autoimmune

00:20:47.120 symptoms came back i was on the paleo diet when i when i got pregnant my autoimmune symptoms came

00:20:52.840 back and five months after she was born is when i switched the lion diet because i couldn't get

00:20:57.880 my symptoms under control with the paleo diet anymore. I was living in a moldy house. It had a

00:21:02.160 leak to the outdoors in the basement. I didn't realize at the time, uh, that that was contributing

00:21:07.200 to my food sensitivities and autoimmune disorder and mental health and sleep, et cetera, panic

00:21:11.880 levels, distress. So that year with Scarlett was really hard and it scared me. Uh, I don't know if

00:21:17.820 you guys remember, I did a, I think it was a Q and a two years ago, maybe a year and a half ago,

00:21:22.980 where I said I was seriously considering surrogacy.

00:21:26.900 And that was because when I was living in Miami,

00:21:29.440 I had a miscarriage,

00:21:30.820 which I talked about in a different Q&A.

00:21:33.140 And that wasn't like, I'm fine. 0.99

00:21:35.600 Those suck. 0.99

00:21:36.620 They're also extremely common. 0.99

00:21:38.520 But the period when I was pregnant,

00:21:40.980 before I miscarried,

00:21:42.180 I went batshit crazy again during the pregnancy part.

00:21:46.340 I was having suicidal thoughts, serious instability.

00:21:49.740 i felt outside of my body and it was not safe mentally like not doable uh really scary so once

00:22:01.720 i realized i had mold toxicity and got really careful with my air and healed with george i had

00:22:07.580 what i would consider a pretty easy pregnancy not easy because being pregnant isn't easy but

00:22:13.500 compared to what i went through before it was a breeze other than the fact meat tasted terrible

00:22:18.720 I had a meat aversion the whole time but I didn't go too crazy just like normal pregnancy crazy

00:22:23.580 so it was good so surrogacy is off the table at the moment because I did pray about being able

00:22:29.000 to tolerate pregnancy for like I prayed for like two years and I can now it seems and I was really

00:22:35.020 only considering surrogacy because I was suicidal during pregnancy which isn't doable and I still

00:22:39.340 wanted kids that's just not a doable combination so thank god that that's all sorted uh that being

00:22:46.700 said just to comment on surrogacy i know there are a lot of conservatives against surrogacy

00:22:50.540 i'm not i'm not even sure i'm a conservative i've talked about this before i don't know i don't even

00:22:56.060 know what i am definitely not a liberal i don't think i'm conservative either so i think anything

00:23:01.720 that brings a baby into the world you know overall is a positive thing i know everything can be used

00:23:09.900 for evil and this can be abused for sure but i don't think it's fair to tell people that do

00:23:15.480 surrogacy that they're doing something wrong when it can result in a baby for people who can't have

00:23:19.200 babies. Like, oh, I've had three naturally. You can't have any, but a surrogacy is bad. So you

00:23:25.200 shouldn't be able to like, whatever. Uh, I'm not going to do it at the moment because I thank God

00:23:30.520 figured out why I was getting suicidal during pregnancy that seemed to be caused by mold

00:23:34.420 exposure. But yeah, no judgment on people who do. Next question. How do we survive on one income

00:23:40.680 if we want kids yeah so for women i'd go after a man that has a higher income i mean that seems

00:23:47.720 like an easy solution marry somebody rich i know that's tricky but if you follow my dating steps

00:23:52.560 maybe you can get there and then if you aren't if you guys aren't wealthy and you want to figure

00:23:58.120 out how to live off of one income figure out how much you're making then have conversations about

00:24:03.540 what your life is going to look like sharing an income ideally before you're pregnant is there 0.82

00:24:08.520 one bank account? Is there a budget? This is huge for the success of a relationship through having

00:24:15.000 kids because pregnancy is one thing, but then when you have the kid, nobody's sleeping, you're

00:24:19.860 arguing, things are stressful. I've seen so many women who are kept hostage by their husband once 0.99

00:24:25.220 they have kids and feel like they can't spend anything, even though they're at home doing 0.96

00:24:29.700 full-time work with a baby. I've seen that with people with money too. So those conversations

00:24:34.120 ideally take place before babies are in the mix you want to find a man who will take care of you

00:24:38.840 and wants to and knows that his duty as a man is to care for you so you can take care of his

00:24:45.440 children because without that having kids is really hard and then try to come up with ways

00:24:52.560 to make more money you know um maybe you don't have free time maybe it involves hiring like a

00:24:59.500 neighborhood kid to do some things you don't need to do so that you can have more time to spend on

00:25:04.740 a project like maybe the neighborhood kid can help you clean or go through packages to take

00:25:09.200 things off your plate stop grocery shopping use instacart buy back your time to make more money

00:25:14.500 if you're entrepreneurial if you're entrepreneurial figure out how to make more money too I'll have

00:25:18.880 podcast guests on they can tell you how to do that I just worked all the time that's how I ended up

00:25:23.000 making more money and then I'd have my main source of income and I'd start a side a side hustle and

00:25:28.680 then just grow that until it was successful. This podcast is a side hustle. And yeah, if you're not

00:25:34.700 entrepreneurial, increase your own status and value so that you can get a high value man who

00:25:40.200 will take care of you. Yes. So that was directed at women. Okay. Next question. How do you balance

00:25:44.600 work life? What's your daily routine? Hmm. Okay. I wake up, grab George. If Scarlett's with me,

00:25:51.280 she's with me half the time. Unfortunately, I get her ready for school or camp in the summer.

00:25:56.300 she's got a good camp she goes to and then I hang out with George and read the bible if I wake up

00:26:03.640 earlier I'll read the bible earlier but I've been tired lately from so much going on and a bad sleep

00:26:10.580 schedule so I haven't been waking up as early as I'd like so this is my current schedule but it

00:26:14.880 certainly isn't my ideal schedule then George goes down for a nap and I'll get ready for the day with

00:26:19.700 like makeup and making myself look better so Jordan still loves me kidding but also not kidding

00:26:24.500 Then I get to work on emails or work on projects, Peterson Academy, deal with lawyers, whatever my

00:26:29.460 high priority items are for the day. Then I hang out with George more and clean a bit usually and

00:26:34.900 eat. I eat twice a day now. If I only eat once a day, I get pretty hungry. Especially if I'm working,

00:26:40.200 I get hungry. I usually eat burger or ground beef for lunch. I don't just survive off of

00:26:45.460 stripped loins anymore. That was a brief period of time. Brief like a year and a half. But now I have

00:26:50.100 burger for lunch. Sometimes I'll nap. I hate napping. I had chronic fatigue for so long that

00:26:55.940 I'm like traumatized by napping. Just throwing around the word trauma pretty casually there.

00:27:00.660 I'm not traumatized by napping, but I hate napping. I feel like I'm like losing out on life

00:27:04.380 napping, but I've been tired from too much going on. So I nap sometimes. Then I do more work. Then

00:27:10.820 I hang out with Scarlett, put her to bed, put George to bed. And then Jordan and I will usually

00:27:15.040 go out for dinner and come home and watch something and sleep just watch dune i thought

00:27:21.180 dune was terrible i posted about it on on instagram and people were like al-san gaib if you don't like

00:27:28.000 dune you shouldn't watch movies dune was bad it was bad and then i watched blade runner and i you

00:27:34.060 know what it was really disappointing at the end so that's what we're doing we're watching

00:27:38.140 disappointing movies before bed my ideal routine would be waking up at six and would be way more

00:27:43.480 structured, which I'll get back to, but with a baby. Oh, and a cold plunge. I usually do a cold

00:27:47.980 plunge at some point during the day too. Um, with so many projects, I'm too tired to do that. Wake

00:27:52.900 up at six right now. So maybe in a few months. Yeah. This type of routine also like how casual

00:27:57.480 it is, is obviously only doable for me because I have a whole bunch of different jobs and they're

00:28:01.700 all from home and I have a live in nanny and help. So shout out to them. I'll get into that 0.96

00:28:06.900 in the baby video. I'll make that. Um, and then shout out to me for making money. Woo. Shout out

00:28:11.740 to dad too. God. Okay. I'm done. Last month. I also traveled a bit to do some shows with dad. I opened

00:28:18.140 and next month I'm going to go to Austin to help launch Peterson Academy, do some podcasts.

00:28:23.980 And then every day there's usually a call or two with my dad. And now that I'm filming again,

00:28:29.520 I'll do that in the afternoon. Sometimes instead of a nap, like I said, I hate napping. I also need

00:28:34.340 Jordan to stop keeping me up at night so I can get more sleep. Men need less sleep than women. 1.00

00:28:39.460 it's not fair it's fun hanging around with your best friend but i'm too old to not go to bed at 0.62

00:28:44.240 10 yeah okay q a done kind of kind of short but that's fine and then i will be doing a plastic

00:28:51.520 surgery video see i'm not i'm not a conservative i don't know what i am but i'm not a conservative

00:28:56.420 i'll be doing that video and a non-plastic surgery beauty video i'll cover beauty hacks

00:29:01.180 lasers etc i'm actually gonna go do a fractionated co2 treatment friday where they like laser off

00:29:06.400 your face and neck so maybe i'll film that and i'll add it into one of these videos i know people

00:29:11.380 have been waiting for those videos and i do really want to do it do them so i'm aiming for july i'm
