00:00:00.140 So for those of you who fear death, and maybe you think you're getting older, you're having
00:00:03.160 like a midlife crisis, this video is for you.
00:00:06.160 Did you know John D. Rockefeller, who was born in 1839 as a kid, he had two dreams.
00:00:10.540 One of them was for him to live up to 100 years old.
00:00:14.700 This is in 1839, he wanted to live to up to 100 years old.
00:00:17.620 The second one was to make $100,000.
00:00:20.280 Now let's address the second one first.
00:00:22.440 He didn't make $100,000, he didn't make a million dollars, he didn't make a billion
00:00:25.280 dollars.
00:00:25.620 He made in today's money $340,000,000, nearly as much as Bezos and Musk combined.
00:00:33.360 That's John D. Rockefeller.
00:00:34.680 But let's talk about a second dream, which was to live to 100 years old.
00:00:38.420 How many years you think he lived?
00:00:40.260 In 1839, the average life expectancy for a male was 39 and a half years old.
00:00:46.940 What do you mean you're going to live up to 100 years old?
00:00:48.840 That's nearly three times more than the average man in America.
00:00:52.540 So John D. Rockefeller didn't live 39 and a half, not 50, not 60, not 70, not 80, not 90.
00:01:02.520 He lived 97 and 11 months, one month shy of turning 98 years old during the time where
00:01:11.580 the average life expectancy was 39 and a half years old.
00:01:13.920 So what does this mean to you?
00:01:14.960 And what prompted me doing this?
00:01:16.880 By the way, Carnegie, Andrew Carnegie, I think was born in 1835.
00:01:21.080 He ended up living to 83 years old during the time where the average life expectancy was
00:01:25.540 also 39 and a half years old.
00:01:27.180 They were two of the richest men at the time.
00:01:29.120 So how did this story come about?
00:01:30.800 I'm doing a webinar this last week with seven CEOs that run big businesses.
00:01:35.860 One of the guys who is doing around $20 million a year said, Pat, I'm about to turn 40 this
00:01:43.420 year and I'm having a little bit of a midlife crisis challenge and I'm concerned, man.
00:01:48.740 I'm really thinking.
00:01:49.460 I said, I started laughing.
00:01:50.720 I didn't want to disrespect.
00:01:51.680 He's a good friend.
00:01:52.680 I said, listen, 40 years old today.
00:01:55.620 I said, do you really know how old I am?
00:01:58.020 He says, you're 42.
00:01:58.880 I said, I'm not 42 years old and you're not 40 years old.
00:02:02.100 I said, do you realize what the life expectancy today is?
00:02:06.600 So I came back and I did the math.
00:02:08.440 And when I did the math, here's what I came up with.
00:02:10.860 So Rockefeller died at 97.9 years old at a time where the average life expectancy was
00:02:17.220 39 and a half years old, which means he lived two and a half times, roughly 2.48, but let's
00:02:22.900 you say two and a half times the average life expectancy of a person in 1839, right?
00:02:28.340 If we take today's average life expectancy, which is 76.4 years old, and we multiplied times
00:02:35.680 two and a half, which is what he did, Rockefeller would have lived today to 190 years old.
00:02:42.160 If I do the same thing with Carnegie, he died at 83 at a time where the average life expectancy
00:02:46.600 was 39.5.
00:02:47.840 He lived 2.1 times the average life expectancy.
00:02:50.680 He would have lived roughly, you know, 154 years old, if you do the math, give or take
00:02:57.260 153, 154 years old in today's times.
00:03:00.540 So how old am I today?
00:03:02.120 Like I'm 42 years old.
00:03:03.980 So if I take my age, which is 42, and I divide it by today's average life expectancy, which
00:03:10.340 is 76.4.
00:03:12.460 Do you know how old I would have been in 1839?
00:03:17.020 In 1839, a 42-year-old male, me, would have been 22 years old, which means realistically
00:03:27.200 today I'm 22 years old.
00:03:31.000 Do you understand what I'm saying to you?
00:03:32.680 I'm a baby, 42 years old, today's baby.
00:03:36.420 Some of you are like, oh my gosh, I'm 35, I'm turning 40, I'm turning 50, I'm having a
00:03:41.060 midlife crisis.
00:03:42.200 No, you're not.
00:03:43.560 You're a baby today.
00:03:45.140 Listen, you are a baby in today's times if we compare it to an 1839.
00:03:51.740 Why?
00:03:53.080 Because we are living longer.
00:03:55.000 And that's just a flat out fact.
00:03:57.380 Medicine, lifestyle, you know, taking care of ourselves.
00:04:02.020 I sat down with the owner of Lululemon.
00:04:04.000 He says, in the next 20 years, everyone's going to be healthy.
00:04:06.660 I said, why?
00:04:07.020 He says, because everyone's going to wear smart clothes.
00:04:08.880 I said, what's smart clothes?
00:04:10.040 He says, smart clothes you wear, it's going to beep when your blood pressure goes too high.
00:04:13.520 It's going to tell you to sit down and relax and do 20 burpees or do 20 push-ups.
00:04:17.960 A smart clothes is going to tell you, hey, you need to put some water in your body.
00:04:21.220 And smart clothes.
00:04:23.180 Can you imagine like we're all going to be smart?
00:04:24.960 Like seeing somebody with a six pack 20 years from now is not going to be a big deal because
00:04:28.820 we are smarter today.
00:04:31.280 We are more trained today.
00:04:33.500 We pay attention to health.
00:04:34.840 You can't turn on social media without hearing about magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin
00:04:40.180 E, vitamin B2O.
00:04:41.600 Every day we're being health, health, health, health, health.
00:04:46.360 So we're living longer.
00:04:47.980 So to those of you that fear death and for those of you that think you're getting older,
00:04:53.400 I want you to take your age, okay?
00:04:56.520 Divided by today's life expectancy, okay?
00:05:00.480 Male is 76 and a half.
00:05:02.140 Women, I think it's 81 and a half.
00:05:04.640 Then go take that formula and multiply it times 39 and a half.
00:05:11.620 When you do it times 39 and a half or for women 43 and a half because of 1839, that was the
00:05:16.640 age.
00:05:17.440 That's really how old you would have been in 1839.
00:05:20.500 And odds are you're probably a baby in your 20s.
00:05:24.380 So guess what?
00:05:25.520 We got a lot of living to do.
00:05:27.060 You know what we do learn about Carnegie and Rockefeller?
00:05:30.240 The more money you make, the longer you live.
00:05:33.860 The average life expectancy, highest country with the highest life expectancy, is a small
00:05:39.580 country called Monaco.
00:05:40.820 It's smaller than Central Park.
00:05:42.860 Smaller than Central Park, the average life expectancy is 89.4 years old.
00:05:47.000 The average net worth of a citizen in Monaco is 2.1 years old.
00:05:50.540 What does that tell you?
00:05:51.760 The more money you make, the better doctors you get.
00:05:54.420 So maybe you ought to figure out a formula to go take care of your finances, take care
00:06:00.240 of your health, take care of your body, and know that you ain't as old as you think you
00:06:05.960 are.
00:06:06.520 You got plenty of time.
00:06:08.040 You just have the advantage of going and winning early today so you can live the rest of your
00:06:12.600 life doing whatever you want to do by your choice, not by force.
00:06:16.980 So having said this, I'm going to take you back.
00:06:19.900 I'm going to take you way back, maybe seven, eight years ago when I did a video.
00:06:24.800 The audio sucks.
00:06:25.840 It's only two minutes long.
00:06:27.440 The audio sucks.
00:06:28.580 My shirt I'm wearing sucks.
00:06:30.600 It's one of my most annoying shirts I wore.
00:06:33.340 I don't know why I wore that shirt.
00:06:35.940 But I talk about how we can stay young forever, okay?
00:06:41.440 Stay forever young.
00:06:42.840 It's two minutes and I make my point.
00:06:45.000 I think this is seven or eight years ago.
00:06:46.480 If you've never seen it, it's only got like 3,900 views.
00:06:49.260 Click here to watch it because it validates, again, my point of what I'm telling you today.
00:06:54.880 And if you know anybody that fears death and they're thinking they're getting older, go
00:06:58.600 ahead and share this video with them as well.
00:07:00.220 Having said that, have a great week, everybody.
00:07:02.520 Take care.
00:07:03.020 Bye-bye.
