00:00:00.000 Kevin O'Leary says Steve Jobs gave him the best career advice.
00:00:05.760 The only three things you have to get done every day.
00:00:10.540 Here's Kevin O'Leary. Go for it.
00:00:12.360 Steve Jobs, I told this story countless times.
00:00:14.960 He was not a nice guy, but in the 90s, I made all of his software for the Mac in schools.
00:00:20.600 110,000 buildings. 0.99
00:00:22.480 He was an absolute asshole, but he taught me some very important things, 1.00
00:00:27.000 and he was wildly successful. 1.00
00:00:28.180 he said that each day including you each day there will be three things you have to get done
00:00:35.440 just three and that's called the signal and there's going to be a plethora of things
00:00:42.380 that are going to stop you from doing that and that's called the noise and so the only thing
00:00:47.680 you have to get good at in your life to be an entrepreneur is to distinguish what's signal and
00:00:51.740 what's noise and then you do not let noise get in the way of getting the three things done they get
00:00:56.240 done first. Tom, thoughts? So I think he's absolutely correct. And there's one of the
00:01:02.180 things that you said for this last year, we were talking about speed, product, and signal,
00:01:09.120 which means we don't want things to slow us down. The product, the main thing is the main thing.
00:01:15.020 And then signal. We don't want the noise. We want signal. And I think that Steve Jobs gave great
00:01:22.280 advice to kevin o'leary and kevin o'leary is pointing out he said listen he he had in his 0.96
00:01:28.220 experience he said that steve was a bit of a an ass to work with get in line kevin o'leary a lot 0.88
00:01:34.340 of people said that about steve steve jobs because he was maniacal he was focused and he's right 0.88
00:01:40.660 what you need to put yourself in a in a mindset that says what are the three signal issues i got
00:01:46.180 to get done today and i gotta push everything else off that plate that is great pure simple
00:01:53.160 advice yeah i love it adam thoughts don't marry the wrong woman
00:01:57.780 no black pill stick to this that's it that's all i got that's all you got okay i like if you had
00:02:04.580 to get three things done you said 10 seconds i did three seconds we're moving on you don't have
00:02:08.480 10 seconds here or get three things done for the guy that data direct you always come back after i
00:02:12.640 go to everybody and you still want to say something so staying on this year with signal it's one of
00:02:17.180 the hardest things for you to do it is one of the hardest things you'll ever do you know why
00:02:21.280 uh elan musk said something the other day they asked him the question what is the worst
00:02:25.680 invention and he said scrolling is the worst invention that it does so much damage to you
00:02:31.700 you know when you kind of watch videos after videos doom scrolling it's one of the worst
00:02:35.340 inventions and why is it one of the worst inventions it steal away steals away signal
00:02:40.680 from you so if i got a book recommendation to make to all the ceos out there i got one book
00:02:46.380 recommendation i will give to you i couldn't put it down tom i'm glad you're going through it
00:02:49.740 i think have you wrapped it up or not yet are you done with it almost i keep going back to
00:02:53.720 little things insane so type in the word ceo excellence if you're a business owner and you
00:02:58.720 want to go read a book ceo excellence is a phenomenal book written by three uh mckenzie
00:03:05.320 senior partners the only thing i will tell you is there's going to be some climate change stuff in 0.52
00:03:08.580 There's some of the, you know, DEI bullshit that you're going to have to go through.
00:03:11.740 But if you can set that aside, the content is actually phenomenal 0.59
00:03:14.840 and is directed specifically to CEOs and a ton of stories in there
00:03:19.220 of how Jamie Dimon stayed signal with a bunch of noise that he had around him
00:03:24.220 because it's going to be constant.
00:03:25.360 You're never, ever.
00:03:26.600 A guy sends me a manect yesterday.
00:03:27.860 He's got this invention, and I send him your way.
00:03:30.800 I don't know if he's manected you yet or not.
00:03:32.800 He's got this invention that he's doing.
00:03:34.140 He says, Pat, what do you think I should do?
00:03:35.180 Should I sell the idea?
00:03:36.040 Should I keep it?
00:03:36.620 Should I run it?
00:03:37.120 Should I do this?
00:03:37.640 I said, listen, in life, you have to figure out who you want to be.
00:03:40.920 And one of the challenges about who you want to be is everybody wants to be a number one.
00:03:44.660 But let me tell you what happens when you're number one.
00:03:46.580 100% of all the issues that happen is your fault.
00:03:49.220 Are you okay with that?
00:03:50.800 She says, what do you mean?
00:03:51.660 Are you okay if 100% of everything that happens in a company is your fault?
00:03:55.460 Behind closed doors, you can put the onus and responsibility on others.
00:03:59.100 But publicly, guess what it is?
00:04:01.040 It's all your fault.
00:04:01.980 So I don't want that.
00:04:02.640 Then sell the idea.
00:04:03.940 Or go be number two or number three.
00:04:05.860 But if you don't want all the challenges to be on you,
00:04:07.940 there's going to be, you have a few good days a year
00:04:10.020 when you were number one.
00:04:11.340 You literally have only a few good days a year. 0.98
00:04:13.080 You have a lot of shitty years, shitty days a year. 0.96
00:04:15.960 I'm being serious. 0.98
00:04:16.740 I know, I see it.
00:04:18.200 You have a few good days a year.
00:04:20.140 You have a lot of bad days, and you still have to find a way
00:04:23.080 to come home, be a husband, be a father, be present, 0.99
00:04:27.160 take care of your health while shit's hitting the fan, 0.99
00:04:29.680 and then come back to work the next day with a great attitude 0.99
00:04:32.220 and do your best to lead everybody knowing there's probably going to be
00:04:36.560 a lot of fires you've got to put on,
00:04:37.700 and you've got to find a way to stay focused on the signal.
00:04:39.520 So if you stay focused on the signal, long-term, big things will happen to you.
00:04:45.360 You know what's around the corner?
00:04:47.060 What is around the corner?
00:04:48.460 What are we today?
00:04:49.240 Today's the 22nd.
00:04:51.280 Fourth of July is how many days away?
00:04:54.380 Roughly 15, 16 days away from Fourth of July.
00:04:57.380 Okay?
00:04:58.220 So here's what we did.
00:04:59.420 The guys put a video together.
00:05:00.880 I hope the guys in the back are ready.
00:05:03.880 We have flirted with this video and shown it to you for six months,
00:05:07.760 but we've never released it.
00:05:09.180 We kept the best one for last.
00:05:11.840 And I'm going to tell you why this will go and be on eBay in no time,
00:05:15.340 because we have a 250-year anniversary box that's here with some special items in it,
00:05:22.440 and specifically the hat.
00:05:24.680 It's the hat that employees came to us and said,
00:05:27.220 please don't sell it all.
00:05:28.880 Let us have some of it.
00:05:29.900 But I first want you to watch this video, especially the people that love America.
00:05:34.040 Go ahead, guys.
00:05:35.220 Before there was a nation, God bless America.
00:05:38.180 There was an idea, an idea powerful enough to ignite a revolution.
00:05:44.400 America has marched through history with courage in its heart and freedom as its cause.
00:05:51.560 We crossed frontiers.
00:05:53.740 We built railroads that united a continent.
00:05:56.340 We rose from the ashes of conflict.
00:06:00.460 We defended liberty across oceans.
00:06:03.960 And we reached beyond Earth itself, planting our flag among the stars.
00:06:10.060 Through every trial, one spirit endured.
00:06:14.940 A spirit to dream bigger.
00:06:17.600 To stand stronger.
00:06:19.840 To keep moving forward.
00:06:21.440 For 250 years, generations of Americans have written a story of sacrifice, innovation,
00:06:30.440 resilience and hope.
00:06:32.440 And now, the next chapter begins.
00:06:36.440 This is America.
00:06:39.440 250 years of freedom.
00:06:43.440 250 years of courage.
00:06:47.440 250 years of a nation still rising.
00:06:52.440 I'll join the military right now.
00:06:53.720 Isn't it great?
00:06:54.400 Don't you just...
00:06:55.280 Aren't you proud you served the military?
00:06:57.360 You won the air for one of the best decisions I made.
00:06:59.340 Absolutely.

00:07:10.460 On the box, it says 250 years of freedom.

00:07:14.560 When you open it up, you get a future looks bright mug.
00:07:17.440 You get these hats, that there's only a limited supply of them,
00:07:21.520 and then you get this water mug.

00:07:25.640 What's it called?
00:07:27.420 250-year anniversary on it as well.
00:07:29.320 It says, and God we trust.
00:07:30.540 And on the back it says, the greatest country in the world.
00:07:33.180 But it's only for 250 of them.
