歌词与翻译

[中文]

Tai：并不是每个人都赢，而且越快越好 你醒悟过来，生物学是无情的，

伙计。

然后你就会感到一点恐惧。

当你内心感到一点恐惧时，你就会开始 倾听，因为如果你真的害怕，

你就会倾听。

让一点恐惧进来并驱使你 激励你。

汤姆：大家好。

欢迎来到影响理论。

我的朋友们，你们在这里是因为你们相信 人类的潜力几乎是无限的，但

你知道 [00:00:30] 具有潜力 与实际用它做一些事情不同

。

我们通过这个节目和公司的目标是 向您介绍

将帮助您真正实现梦想的人和想法。

今天的嘉宾创立、投资并提供建议 或指导了超过 20 家价值数百万美元的

公司，但这还远远不够 他一开始就和你会得到的一样。

一开始他只是另一所大学 辍学住在他母亲的沙发上，但这个

家伙并不是一个懒鬼，最终他[00:01:00] 成功说服的不是一两个，而是五个

超级成功人士来指导他。

凭借他们的知识和强烈的意愿 为了学习，他将

银行账户中的 47 美元变成了可以说是最著名的账户 车库里装满了地球上奇异的汽车。

他的秘密是永不满足的好奇心。

他说他更关心冒险 比金钱更重要，而且他有简历来支持

。

他曾在新西兰剪羊毛， 与阿米什人一起生活了两年半，

[00:01:30] 在印度的一个麻风病人收容所工作， 曾担任认证财务规划师，并

作为学员帮助 Joel Salatin 开创了草饲法 可持续农业。

他也是拥有数百万人的社交媒体先驱 的关注者和数亿的观看次数。

他现在在镜头前过着自己的生活 基本上全天候地提供娱乐，

教育内容并赠送疯狂的内容 奖品数量，根据最新统计，包括

10 辆汽车。

他是首都，[00:02:00] 千禧一代的富有和名人的创业生活方式

，但被蒙蔽了 仅仅依靠他一生的浮华和魅力

就完全没有抓住要点。

如果你超越炒作和阴谋 关于这个人的理论，他一贯的

信息是培养你的思维。

爱他或恨他，什么都没有交给 即使在

年之后，他和他最早的导师仍然很快指出 他从未见过另一个学徒拥有今天的

动力和决心 [00:02:30] 客人有。

请帮我欢迎那位有 阅读了 5,000 多本书，并拥有一个读书俱乐部

和播客，现已覆盖 140 万人 在 40 个国家。

新媒体大亨和连续创业者， 泰·洛佩兹.

怎么了，伙计？

欢迎来到节目。

太：谢谢。

汤姆：很高兴有你参加。

早些时候参加你的节目很有趣 今天，所以现在很高兴翻转桌子

，因为……伙计，我非常兴奋。

我想要 [00:03:00] 参与一些 我发现非常有趣的东西

从你所说的阿米什人开始 成为您

见过的最幸福的人之一。

事实上，你的引述是：“我一生中最幸福的事 我生命中的一切都是阿米什人。

从那时起，情况就一直在走下坡路，”你 半开玩笑地说，但请带我们了解一下。

你是怎么到那里的以及它是关于什么的 是什么让他们如此幸福？

Tai：我怎么到了那里？

我认为我的一位业务合作伙伴现在获得了 多目标优化博士学位 [00:03:30]

基本上如何同时做很多事情 他几年前告诉我的。

他说：“你知道我的结论是什么 在伯克利学习了12年？

都是废话。

一次只能优化一件事。”

当我回顾自己的生活时，我认为没有 知道了这一点，现在我更清楚了，

我已经针对冒险进行了优化。

我生命中有一个时刻……我有一个 良好的成长环境，但当

我出生时，我父亲正在监狱里。

我妈妈结婚又离婚几次， 和很多冲突。

在我生命中的某个时刻 [00:04:00] 我选择 读了这位教授

Hostetler 写的这本名为《阿米什协会》的书，我被迷住了。

我当时想，“这些人，这些阿米什人 拥有美国

个州以及全世界其他人都没有的东西，而我就是 就像我要尝试一次冒险一样。”

我去了，坐上巴士，去了宾夕法尼亚州兰开斯特 我去了一个叫“手中鸟”的小镇。

我永远不会忘记。

我下了车，步行到了这个农场。

这个家伙 Daniel Stolzfus，是我写给他的 一封信，他说，“你可以来看我

”，所以我就走了。

立刻 [00:04:30] 就像置身其中 1800 年代的时光机。

我走进谷仓，他正在铲土 苹果 [听不清 00:04:37] 当你

制作苹果汁时你会得到......副产品 就是这个小水果的东西。

他正在喂牛，这是他和他的 两个儿子赤脚。

这是我对新冒险的介绍 在我的生活中，我几乎试图不断复制

。

我的意思是人们看到我在社交媒体上做事，并且 汽车，等等，但它仍然是相同的

东西。

我有点像你。

如果您思考 [00:05:00] 生活，您可以 对生活持虚无主义态度，比如生活的目的是什么？

归根结底，您可以剖析任何事物 然后问：“目的是什么？”

有些人会说，“我想赚十亿 美元。”

你可以对他们说，“目的是什么？

我们都会死。

我们最终都在同一个小坟墓里 一天结束了。”

你可以说，“我想变得超级聪明。

我想结婚生子。”

归根结底，所有的肉都是草 而你最终也像草一样消失了。

对我来说，我的最佳猜测是 [00:05:30] 并且 也许有些人有精神上的东西，

所有这些都是我来过的最好的猜测 最大的问题是，如果你每天醒来，然后

说，“我还没弄清楚，让我们 跳进一些疯狂的事情，看看会发生什么。”

这就是我开始涉足社交媒体的方式。

我从 2012 年开始真正涉足它， 2013 年。

然后在 2014 年，有人说，“你应该 做YouTube。

这将会很盛大。”

我当时想，“让我们尝试一次新的冒险吧。”

我刚刚开始在 拍摄我的第一个视频 2015 年 1 月 25 日 [00:06:00]。

我发布了此视频，最终累积了 different versions have 600 million views.

获得了很多浏览量。

汤姆：在我的车库里？

Tai：在我的车库里和其他一些类似的 车库主题的。

每个人都应该努力变得富有和出名 至少一次并得到它，只是为了意识到

它并不像你想象的那么好，而是冒险 部分很酷。

另外，当我说冒险时，我也指收获 洞察生活[00:06:30]。

如果可以的话，我学到的最重要的事情 又回到 18 岁了，我希望有人基本上告诉我

即使是成年人，也没有人知道他们在做什么 我确实认为每个人都迷失了方向，世界是

盲目引导盲人的。

对我来说，终极冒险不仅仅是 蹦极或类似的活动或

去阿米什人。

它试图获得洞察力并将生活视为 一个谜题，你的人生目标是寻找

将谜题拼凑在一起的冒险 这样 [00:07:00] 在你生命的尽头，

你就会明白。

我觉得大多数人都没有得到什么生活 群岛

想一想。

这就像什么是生活？

为什么我们会受到一些基本本能的驱使？

目的是什么？

我喜欢进化心理学。

所有这些事情让我陷入了这个奇怪的境地 我和你在一起。

Tom：我知道你实际上有一个定义 围绕四大支柱的美好生活。

[00:07:30] 四大支柱是什么以及如何实现 它会影响一切吗？

Tai：我总是说，健康、财富、爱情、幸福 按这个顺序。

如果你不健康，你就不会关心 任何东西。

我认为健康是王牌，然后 我把金钱置于爱情之上的原因，

并不意味着你应该努力致富 在爱情之前。

如果你看看马斯洛的需求层次理论。

经典的快乐方式。

马斯洛有五个层次。

最下面的一个是生理的或 [00:08:00] 身体需求必须得到满足，食物庇护所

水。

第二个是安全。

您必须感到安全。

第三个是爱。

如果您没有人身和安全权利， 你不在乎爱情。

不信你查一下号码 人们离婚的原因之一是财务问题

。

我只是觉得金钱并不能带来幸福 但没有钱也能带来幸福。

这已在 [00:08:30] 中得到证明，并且 结束了。

丹尼尔·卡尼曼，诺贝尔奖获得者。

他说如果你的收入低于 72 格兰德 美国，他发现你的幸福感受到影响

，因为你的压力增加了。

我认为你不必很富有。

当我说财富时，它并不一定 意思就像福布斯排行榜。

这意味着你必须有你的身体需求 满足了，你必须有安全边际。

银行账户里有一些钱。

如果每一份薪水都让你惊慌失措，你的 爱情生活将会受到影响。

然后是马斯洛 [00:09:00] 层次结构的顶部 需求变成尊重，然后是最后的

，最高的顶峰是更高的目标 或者人们称之为精神。

健康、财富，然后是爱情。

然后如果你得到了这三个，那就是你 击中幸福。

幸福，有很多关于幸福的书。

有一个很好的假设，叫做幸福假设 作者：乔纳森·海特。

对我来说幸福的核心就是汤。

如果你做了鸡汤面但你忘记了 鸡肉，它不是鸡肉[00:09:30]面条

汤。

如果你忘了把肉汤放进去，那就是 只是鸡肉和面条。

如果你忘记了面条......那就是这样 我的意思是。

幸福是一大堆的集合 你做对的事情。

我想我还没有找到更好的思考方式 关于它。

汤姆：你怎么样……给我们一些 战术。

您如何在战术上针对它们进行优化？

你会依次攻击它们吗？

您是否会实时拨打电话询问“哦，我是 幸福感 [00:10:00] 或爱情有点低，”

或者其他什么？

你怎么玩这个？

Tai：就像我说的，我不会针对 最后一张。

我尝试把前三项做对。

史蒂夫·乔布斯说他不想成为首富 墓地里的人。

你想成为墓地首富吗？

我想成为路上最幸福的人 墓地？

其中一些，你必须推迟快乐。

一个好的投资者是推迟现在的人 为未来的收获而高兴。

你白天工作很努力。

有些事情是令人痛苦的。

我创办了很多企业。

[00:10:30] 我知道成为一名企业家意味着什么。

我是说我知道国际象棋的走法以及什么 我告诉你，有两步棋超过了

步棋。

优化您的忙碌生活 正在围绕 P 优化您的生活。P

是您必须做的事情。

这不是目标。

你不会，“哇！

你知道我的目标是什么吗？

每天上厕所七次。”

不。

你必须这样做才能生存。

努力工作、[00:11:00] 忙碌 不是你优化的目的。

很痛苦。

为什么要针对疼痛进行优化？

这是必需的。

如果你看看实际的科学解释 是什么让你成功，不仅仅是

努力工作。

如果这是真的，建筑工人会 成为世界上最富有的人。

服务员和公交车男孩，他们比 业主。

最科学的人格心理测量 测试称为 HEXACO。

它比大 [00:11:30] 五更准确 曾经是……它比 Myers-Briggs、INFJ、ENTP 所有这些东西更准确

。

HEXACO 测试，您的性格有 26 个方面。

其中之一称为责任心。

这已经被科学家一再证明， 责任心与

商业成功最相关。

汤姆：定义责任心。

Tai：然后分为四个子方面。

组织、完美主义、勤奋和 谨慎。

努力工作才是真正的真理 [00:12:00] 公式的 25% 因为勤奋在通用语言中被称为

努力工作。

如果您认为仅靠勤奋就能获得成功 你成功了，你就像一个篮球运动员

，认为你会在 NBA 打球，因为 你可以罚球。

您见过最好的罚球射手 在世界上？

他们是低手射击的 70 岁男人 但他们不在 NBA 打球，因为

NBA 并不全是罚球。

NBA 就是得分、防守。

罚球可能是其中一个组成部分，篮板球， [00:12:30] 助攻。

有很多组件。

其他三个你必须擅长。

第一个是完美主义。

各位，你们必须知道如何仔细检查 你的工作。

就这么简单。

这并不意味着您始终是完美主义者 但这意味着当重要的时候，当您是

飞机飞行员时，请在之前仔细检查 你走吧。

如果您乘坐飞机，您会听到飞行员的声音 双重检查。

副驾驶、液压系统和人员 goes hydraulics.

这就是飞机不会坠毁的原因。

[00:13:00] 这就是所谓的六西格码。

每百万中有 3 个缺陷。

您在重要的事业和生活中的目标 事情是每百万

笔交易犯三个错误。

做到这一点的唯一方法就是成为完美主义者 在双重检查方面。

That's 25%.

下一个是组织。

我无法告诉你我的生活有多好 如果你每天

醒来并花 10 分钟，任何人都会看到这个。

我周围放着黄色记事本 my house.

这是我从比尔 [00:13:30] 盖茨那里得到的。

比尔·盖茨 (Bill Gates) 在 17 岁时通过锁定创建了 Microsoft 他自己在酒店房间里，拿着六个黄色的

记事本，写下了整个基本的内容 为构建 Microsoft 的数十种事物编写了代码。

他成为世界首富。

连续 18 年，因为他很有组织性 足以将自己锁在房间里思考

一整天。

我尝试做的事情以及每当我这样做时，我 have a great day.

每当我不这样做时，我就会注意到这一点。

稍微组织一下，10 分钟。

我实际上在外面有一个小沙发 我的淋浴间，我在它旁边放了一个记事本 [00:14:00]

。

当我醒来时我会洗澡，我会走过去 对此，我坐在那里，只是写下来。

我的意思是它可以只有三个主要项目 你想在那一天完成。

组织是另外 25%。

然后你有勤奋，这是艰苦的工作， 忙碌和毅力，但最后一个

是最精彩的。

这就是我所说的重新布线 that has to happen.

最后一个叫谨慎 科学家称之为谨慎。

谨慎是做正确事的能力 我无法告诉[00:14:30]你

有多少企业家和非企业家， 甚至我有时也是如此，我并不特别，我只是

因为我们的成长经历而将我们所有人归为一类 社会，我们的目标......假设我们的目标

就像那里的那个相机。

假设那是北方。

我的大脑里有这个指南针和我的目标 就是去那里。

假设这是一英里，所以向北。

发生的是社会，我的成长经历 学校，我的指南针完全向后接线。

[00:15:00] 我想，假设我看不到 那个相机，但我想向北走，所以我从指南针中拿出

，它指向那个方向。

我只是开始散步，并且有组织地进行 时尚。

我以完美主义的方式去做。

我正在完善我的步态和姿势。

我也在努力工作和忙碌。

继续朝着您的目标前进。

事实是，如果你在该南下的时候 向北走，你本来可以走一英里，但

地球的周长约为 24,000 英里 所以你要步行 24, [00:15:30] 000 英里

然后你会从后面出现 会达到你的目标。

这是大多数企业家。

一般人需要 20 年才能成为 百万富翁。 90% 的企业在前五年内

失败了，其中 80 到 90 取决于 根据什么统计。

对于大多数人来说，我算过一次。

美国人平均节省了 60,000 美元 他们大约60岁的时候。

我的答案，我算了一下，你可以这样做 使用金融计算器，

[00:16:00] 美国的每个人，你的父母，每个人 你知道，如果他们活到

到 160 岁，他们就会成为百万富翁。

160 岁时，你在年龄时拿 60 格兰特 60，你给它一个不错的投资回报，

8%、10%。

160 岁时您将成为百万富翁，但问题是 是伟大的哲学家，我认为是亚里士多德，

苏格拉底说问题是艺术很长但是 生命是短暂的。

生活和实现目标的艺术 [00:16:30] 很长，但没必要。

如果你的指南针向后，那就很长了。

我所说的全部要点 冒险一开始就是我试图

带领自己走向真正的北方。

你必须从书籍和导师那里学到这一点 以及生活经验、倾听和寻找

面对面的导师等等。

它们可以帮助调整您的指南针和大多数人 大约

40 年就能得到他们想要的东西。

我住在比佛利山庄，相信我。

你 [00:17:00] 比佛利山庄市中心，有 其他人……我喜欢收集汽车。

没那么多。

我一直很喜欢汽车。

这不是物质主义的炫耀之类的事情 很多人认为。

我奶奶说我一岁时就喜欢汽车。

我曾经尝试在车库里转动汽车 。您前往比佛利山庄市中心，那里停满了

法拉利。

世界上人均法拉利次数最多的人 世界。

每个人都是 80 或 90 岁。

为什么你想要一辆 80 或 90 岁的法拉利？

您想要学步车吗？

我们必须引导您进入您的 [听不清 00:17:30] [00:17:30] 然后你要坐

一辆法拉利？

你知道你看起来有多蠢吗？

对于 90 岁的我来说，你想和你的孩子一起玩 孙子们，我想知道为什么

这个镇上除了人以外每个人都是 90 岁 他们从父亲那里继承了钱。

我意识到我们注定会失败，因为 我们以为我们正在向北行驶，但实际上我们正在

向南行驶。

这就是为什么 50% 的结婚者， 离婚了。

80% 的企业都失败了。

这就是为什么 30% 的美国人使用某些 [00:18:00] 抗抑郁药物的形式。

这就是 60%、70% 的人超重的原因。

我的意思是在某种程度上我们完蛋了但是- 汤姆：是否有一些关键原则可以让你实际使用

来将指南针转向北方 指向北？

太：是的。

第一个就像戒酒互诫协会。

承认你迷路了。

这对人们来说很难。

即使对我来说，有时我也想认为我是 聪明，我都明白了。

有时我想等一下我还是 丢失了。

默认，[00:18:30]准入 事实上，您仍然迷失方向，这会让您更快地

回到正轨。

如果您在观看此内容时感到迷失， 最好坐下来，就像我

迷路一样，因为有一天你承认自己迷路了 是您允许可以给您提示的人

找到您自己的日子。

Tom：这相当于什么，因为 显然，如果你是一名企业家，没有人

在找你，所以这就是[串扰] 00:18:56]。

Tai：不过是这样。

汤姆：谁是？

泰：是的。

你去 Barnes & Noble，[00:19:00] 人们 卖他们的书。

他们正在寻找您作为客户。

汤姆：那么读？

泰：阅读。

人们在这个问题上与我争论的想法 读东西，人们和我争论

导师。

不，只需使用您自己的直觉即可。

这就是你小时候学英语的方式 两岁了，你用你的直觉

开始动词变位吗？

不，你向其他人学习。

你学习礼仪，你学习语言。

你学到了所有有价值的东西。

您向另一个人学习开车。

学习生活有意义吗？

书籍只是 [00:19:30] 的导师 也许现在已经死了。

你想了解史蒂夫·乔布斯，但他不是 活着教你，但你可以通过

积累智慧来学习，这就是……信任 我。

我见过的有权有势的商人很少， 不要读太多书。

我认为沃伦·巴菲特是最好的企业 迄今为止世界上最伟大的人，因为他几乎经营着 75 家

公司，价值 2000 亿美元 在收入方面，他每天读书八小时。

他说他晚年放慢了脚步。

他每天 [00:20:00] 只读 500 页。

比尔·盖茨在假期继续读书。

马克·扎克伯格刚刚开始阅读一次 Facebook 上的一周读书俱乐部，已经拥有

数百万粉丝。

现在有了有声读物，没有任何借口了。

您有 YouTube 视频。

让这个东西在后台运行。

如果你能找到它就更好了。

我的意思是，面对面的指导比书本更好。

这就是我制作播客的原因。

汤姆在我的播客上。

你是个聪明人。

我向你学习就像我今天向你学习一样， 我喜欢您关于如何进入

物理位置的观点。

如果您推出实体 [00:20:30] 产品， 你想在商店里买到它，别渴了。

就像我说的，卡萨诺瓦说，“成为火焰， 不是飞蛾。”

让他们来找你，那就是你 Quest 做到了，现在您每天售出 150 万根

金条。

很好。

如果您可以构建一个好的金块，无论是 它来自于一位面对面的导师，无论是

来自于一本书，你都会变得非常富有和知识渊博 非常快。

每天一块。

就像查理·芒格。

沃伦·巴菲特的商业伙伴说：“步骤 一步一步地，您会获得命中，但不一定会在快速[00:21:00]冲刺中

。

您必须为快速冲刺做好准备 一步一步学习，所以当那一天到来时

，我希望推出一款实体产品 足够聪明、足够谦虚，就像

我必须坐下来。

我从来没有以 150 万美元创办过一家公司 酒吧。

我可以下载与你的对话。

你想成为一台超级计算机 从聪明人那里下载聪明的废话。

由您挑选。

有些人会说，“Tai，我不同意 你所说的一切。”

我说，“很好，我不同意 [00:21:30] 我所说的一切。”

一年后，“等等，我错了。”

汤姆：我实际上看到了一件非常有趣的作品 您在 Twitter 上

上对您进行恶搞的内容，并将其转移到您的困惑中 我该死。

您决定通过 Skype 或其他方式给他打电话。

Tai：我说，“我们现在就现场辩论吧。”

汤姆：你做到了，而且你一直在问他问题 我认为他一直

拒绝回答，但实际上是，“嘿，你是 与我交往。

我正在创建所有这些内容 [00:22:00] 我是如何完成我所做的事情的，而不是

，“你实际上做了一些事情 很有趣，你在质问我和

，而不是对我的结果感兴趣。”

这对我来说非常有趣。

这改变了人们的想法。

它要么打开，要么关闭。

他们要么看着别人，然后他们 去，“这个人正在做正确的事情。

天啊，”或者他们试图找到一个理由 关闭你，不听你的，抹黑你

，无论如何。

我[00:22:30]认为这非常有趣。

和我们谈谈这个问题。

您多久会在人们身上看到这种情况并采取行动 您在

成功人士身上看到过这种心态吗？

Tai：就像 Drake 所说，“如果你没有 仇恨者，你不会流行。”

[听不清 00:22:44] 流行，你会 得到仇恨。

这很有趣。

这让我着迷。

超出我最疯狂梦想的成功 随着我的成功，他们问我的问题就越多。

上次我见到埃隆·马斯克时，我吃了一些 [00:23:00] 与家伙的非常有趣的对话

。

他是我见过的最聪明的人之一。

埃隆·马斯克，我们已经谈过了……我不是一个亲密的人 无论如何，他是他的朋友，但我们已经谈过了。

他做同样的事情。

他喜欢好莱坞。

他总是参加红地毯活动，我也去。

我们在浴室里，他进来了。

我说，“嘿，埃隆。

我们上次讨论过书籍。”

他说，“哦，是的。

我记得你。

你就是社交媒体。”

他说，“我有个问题要问你，伙计。

你认为我应该使用 Snapchat 来成长吗 特斯拉？”

[00:23:30] 我当时想，“好吧。”

他说道，“我知道您了解 Snapchat。

告诉我。”

我开始和他说话。

20 分钟后，《权力的游戏》首映 六点我就问：“你觉得怎么样？”

在我对他进行了长篇谩骂之后，他说道， “我觉得你错了，不过谢谢你。”

然后他就走了。

我觉得这家伙太聪明了。

我意识到你谈到了将死。

我是个白痴，因为我应该翻身 [00:24:00] 让他

教我 20 分钟的对话。

他走进房间知道他所知道的， 我知道我所知道的，但我把我所有的珠宝都给了他

，他像个聪明人一样带着它们走开了 家伙。

我看到人们取笑卡戴珊家族。

我想，“你会取笑 卡戴珊家族？

看，凯莉·詹纳是最年轻的卡戴珊家族 在过去 18 个月里，口红套件和各种化妆品的收入达到了 4 亿美元

凯莉化妆品的事情，请正确看待。

[00:24:30] 欧莱雅、美宝莲等海量品牌。

作为一个组织，他们花了 50 年的时间 成千上万的员工去做凯莉·詹纳

自己在 20 岁、18 岁时所做的事情。

你会嘲笑卡戴珊家族吗？

你必须同意所有卡戴珊姐妹的观点吗？

不。

就像亚伯拉罕·林肯所说，“我向每个人学习 即使有时这是不该做的事。”

你可以直接进入卡戴珊家族，反过来 设计他们的成功，说，“我喜欢这个，

我喜欢这个，我[00:25:00]喜欢这个。

我不喜欢那样。"

然后忽略你不喜欢的。

我从来没有见过一个神人。

你解剖任何人，我们都只是...... 就像马克吐温说的，“所有人类

就像月亮。

你有光明的一面，也有黑暗的一面 一边。”

如果有人观看想要他们的一生 投影到屏幕上显示整个世界

从出生到今天观看，您认为 它将是......您不会为

几件事感到尴尬，[00:25:30] 会是谁？

我确定是卡戴珊姐妹。

我确信我会回顾一些事情 我的生活，我就像，“你是个白痴，

Tai，但欢迎来到这个叫白痴的地方 地球。”

只有两个白痴孩子。

知道的人和不知道的人。

如果您迷路了，请坐下。

如果您是企业家，请坐下来，然后 从你坐的地方伸出手。

在这里拿一本书，拿这个。

听听汤姆的话。

来源非常多。

现在，我们是最被宠坏的一代 世界，因为当你和我开始

...我于 2001 年开始使用 Google AdWords。

[00:26:00] 我很幸运。

我只是绊倒了，我是第一个 人们曾经使用过在线广告。

我认为是我进入 Google 的第二个月 AdWords 推出后，没有 YouTube

视频，也没有 Perry Marshall 书籍， 什么也没有。

你只是浪费了钱来学习。

现在，我们是最被宠坏的一代。

此电脑上的所有内容此手机（iPhone） 7比第一枚火箭更强大，比

将人类送上月球，造成了数十亿美元 美元。

现在，我们只需不到 1,000 美元就能买到它 [00:26:30] 人们仍然会说，“我迷路了。”

是的，你迷路了。

坐下来，然后打开 Safari，然后选择“如何 做谷歌广告？”

你会出现...让我们看看会发生什么 我想出来了。

AdWords 他们有自己的教程。

WordStream、Jumpify。

你有一些付费的东西然后你有一些 HubSpot 上的免费内容。

如果你坐在椅子上，查理·芒格会打电话给你 它勤奋。

把你的屁股放在椅子上。

坐在那里 [00:27:00] 集中注意力，不被打扰 ……你知道现在美国人的平均水平吗？

世界上的普通人，我们的注意力 跨度下降了五秒。

不幸的消息是金鱼平均有 六秒。

我们现在正在与金鱼和 金鱼赢了。

如果你愿意坐下来 阅读……没有适合您的解决方案。

你将永远贫穷，因为你永远 被愿意坐在

椅子上的人击败。

Tom：有没有办法让人们构建它 纪律？

太：是的。

痛苦 [00:27:30] 这就是为什么我不是一个大人物 迷信者。

你问我其中一件我们要重新布线的事情 在这个世界上必须做的事。

我告诉你一个。

你听说过这个神话吗？

一切的发生都是有原因的，所以接受吧 它。

这是事实。

如果我从建筑物上跳下来并摔断了腿， 是的，一切的发生都是有原因的，

原因就是重力。

这就是你折断双腿和物理的原因。

腿是脆的，混凝土不脆。

人们将发生的一切解释为 理由就像，“[00:28:00] 我本来是要

从那件事中学习然后废话。”

阅读理查德·道金斯 (Richard Dawkins) 的《自私的基因》一书 上世纪

写的最重要的书籍。

他说，“生物体只能通过学习来学习 尝试和错误输给了可以

通过其他人的尝试和错误来学习的有机体。”

我们有一些现场观众。

这里的任何人都曾被车撞过 学会从两个方面看？

我没有。

我只是从某人的讲述中学到的[00:28:30] 我，大车，两吨，速度，粉碎，死了

，我知道总是向两边看。

如果你的神话是你唯一的出路 学习只是通过巨大的错误

以及尝试和错误，你还没有读过理查德 道金斯的书。

无论您是否相信进化论， 你生活在神创论或其他什么中，为什么

我们有宏伟的计划，因为我们确实有最大的计划 地球上的大脑。

并不总是使用它们，但我们有最大的 潜力。

[00:29:00] 这是为了能够理查德 道金斯呼吁项目。

您实际上可以坐在这把椅子上进行预测 无需执行即可获得结果。

如果我不听汤姆的建议，我可以预测 关于如何做一个实体小吃店并通过玩

将其进入商店或实体产品 像他那样很难得到一年，那么我

可以预测它很可能不会发生 对我来说很好。

我可以预测，如果 [00:29:30] 我下载 从统计数据来看，你所做的事情对

我来说会更好，而这项技能使你 一个有权势的人，非常有权势的人。

Tom：解释一下痛苦如何让某人 更加有纪律？

Tai：回到当你看到时的神话 你的生活和任何时候都应该有痛苦，

你会说，“不，不，不，不。

这就是它本来的样子。

不。

有时看看镜子里的自己，然后 去，“你知道我为什么不高兴，那是因为

[00:30:00] 10 年前我没有听， 我走错了职业。

你知道我不快乐，因为我嫁给了 该死的错误的人。

这本不该发生。"

是的，一切的发生都是有原因的。

你做了一个错误的选择，但它不必这样做 就这样吧。

当你感到疼痛的那一刻， 这不是我的观点，如果你和

像大卫·巴斯博士这样的人交谈，他是十大最双面心理学家 历史上。

他是我的主要导师之一。

他告诉我……我说：“成年人会改变吗？

[00:30:30] 我们制作所有这些自助视频 和播客。”

我说，“我在浪费时间吗？”

他说，“是的，有点像。”

我说，“为什么？”

他说，“25 岁之后，就很难教了 老狗有一些技巧。”

顺便说一句，这就是我改变的原因。

我的大部分内容都针对 18 至 25 岁的人。

这就是我使用 Snapchat 的原因，因为 18岁到25岁还有希望。

现在，如果您 25 岁，在感到沮丧之前， 他告诉我：“泰，我有个好消息要告诉你。”

我说：“什么？”

他说，“成年人通过巨大的创伤学习， [00:31:00] 所以你会学到的。”

你必须让一些创伤进入你的生活。

这很艰难，但没有痛苦就没有收获。

如果您超重 100 磅并且您想要 为了能够打篮球，这是我给您的新闻

。

一切的发生都是有原因的。

你变胖是因为你吃得太多，而且你 没有锻炼所以欢迎来健身房。

在最初的几年里，可以忍受但那种痛苦 希望每次你想吃那么难吃的东西时都会重新编程你的大脑[00:31:30] 事情是这样的，“等等，我不想再经历

...

那次付费。

我认为社会的神话之一是我们 不会让痛苦进来，我们只是原谅这一切。

“不，这是注定要发生的。

你在婚姻中浪费了 20 年的时间 错误的人和错误的职业。

不，汤姆。

这是注定要发生的。"

那些说“你搞砸了， 老兄。

你浪费了20年，你永远不会得到 它回来了。

你最好回自己的房间去哭。”

事实是，你只是在成年后才学会， 不幸的是，大多数人只能在遭受巨大创伤的情况下改变

。

这很有趣。

我从巴斯博士夫妇那里听到了这句话 [00:32:00] 几年前，我很幸运在最后三场比赛中坐在科比·布莱恩特旁边

他的职业生涯。

不是最后一个，而是三个。

我坐在湖人队替补席右侧的末端 给他。

他的一名球员，我不会说谁有 一场糟糕的比赛。

罚球，他们在整个体育场排成一排 很安静。

科比·布莱恩特对他大喊大叫。

他说，“伙计，你真糟糕。”

他不是在开玩笑。

这让我很震惊。

除非你是对的，否则没人能听到……科比 [00:32:30] 转向慈世界和平，罗恩

阿泰斯特。

他坐在他旁边，说道：“这个 积极强化的事情被高估了。

人们需要听到真相。

Ryan Kelly 他转过身来看着 科比和我都印象深刻。

他说：“我知道。”

他确实坐下来说道：“是的，我输了 这场比赛。”

我没骗你，剩下的比赛他都完成了 表现出色。

替补出场后他得到 10 分、12 分 那个。

我当时想，“看看这个科比家伙明白了。

他是 [00:33:00] 赢家。”

你不能总是带来快乐和拍拍 大家。

他没有说，“哟，凯利。

你打得不好，但这一切都在发生 是有原因的，伙计。

放松，没有压力。”

他只是说：“伙计，你真糟糕。”

就像那样，我会说，“这就是 真正的科比。”

汤姆：我可以告诉你我的一个幻想吗？

我这么说时深知我的员工 现在正在听。

我已经要求他们所有人给我积极的态度 实时反馈 - [00:33:30] 当着整个团队的面

并说明原因 我想要那个，一，我只想知道

真相，因为这是我唯一的方法 会变得更好，所以我从不害怕

看起来很愚蠢，而且我当然不害怕 我迷路了。

第二，我想设定标准。

我希望人们看到你应该能够 当有人告诉你

你很糟糕时你生病了，就需要在情感上应对。

我的幻想就是拥有这样的环境 在影响理论这里，如果你很糟糕

…… 你不需要特意表现出

卑鄙，但你需要感受到痛苦，因为 我真的[00:34:00]相信你

所说的话，当然作为成年人，这可能是 对于孩子来说也是如此，当

疼痛时你就会知道。

它让大多数人崩溃，这就是为什么人们 不要使用该策略。

大多数人都必须罚球。

科比说：“你很糟糕。”

这结束了他们的篮球生涯，伙计。

如果他们是一个 14 岁的孩子，科比和 进来说，“你很糟糕”，1000 人中有 999 人

个孩子打破了，另一个孩子继续成为 下一个科比·布莱恩特。

我想进入那个世界 [00:34:30] 因为 它让我变得更加敏锐。

现在，我进入商业世界而不是...... 商业世界，它来得很艰难。

我的导师对我非常刻薄 我。

在这个过程中，我想有时候， 我他妈的非常讨厌他们，我看不清，

，但我知道他们让我变得更好。

我每天、每天、每天都回去。

我提出了这样一个概念：企业家 做得最好的是那些能够最快地自我安抚的人

，因为我需要听到 它。

[00:35:00] 我需要知道我很糟糕。

然后我需要快速恢复头脑 回来，利用这些信息并改进。

Tai：其中一件事，我正在谈论 大卫·巴斯博士。

有一个测试称为“黑暗三联测试” 再说一遍，像这样重要的事情没有人

在学校学过，因为学校 太愚蠢了，无法接受真正强大的科学

并应用光。

黑暗三合会是世界观的晴雨表 大家都在看。

你可以接受。

有一个不同的免费黑暗三合会 [00:35:30] 在线测试。

它测试三个主要特征，即负面品质。

自恋、马基雅维利主义和精神病。

我亲自测试了成千上万 的人。

这是最准确的测试以及会发生什么， 自恋。

自恋者的症状之一不是 就像，“哦，我喜欢照镜子。

这就是我们对自恋者的看法。

典型症状之一是脸皮很薄。

他们总是被冒犯。

如果你有一个朋友，你说的任何话 从建设性的角度来看，他们分崩离析，这几乎是

[00:36:00]总是自恋。

即使他们性格内向，也有多种 形式，有内向的自恋，外向的，

剥削性的，所有这些不同的子方面 自恋。

我们生活在一个非常自恋的社会。

有人告诉您，每个人都是赢家。

不，并不是每个人都是赢家。

这就像说每个人都是金发女郎。

金发女郎有一个定义。

金发就像这个淡黄色的头发。

当你开始跟每个人打交道时你就失去了意义 是金发女郎。

并不是每个人都赢。

一旦你醒来 [00:36:30] 意识到这一点， 生物学是无情的，伙计。

然后你就会感到有点恐惧。

当你内心感到一点恐惧时，你就会开始 倾听，因为如果你真的害怕，

你就会倾听。

让一点恐惧进来并驱使你 激励你。

现在，当我大约的时候，我不知道早 20 多岁，我和这五位

导师一起在密西西比州。

一个人，Allan Nation、Gary Townsend、Gordon 博士、 所有这些人，我真的很尊敬。

他们大约 60 岁。

他们是人，[00:37:00] 唯一 我见过的百万富翁。

我没有长大……我出生在长滩， 康普顿之类的地区从来没有

任何人能每年赚到 100 英镑。

我遇到了这些人。

他们就像是，“来吧，我们要去打猎 密西西比州之旅。

我去那里，我们就在这些小屋里， 小屋，然后我们在

火上吃热狗。

他们开始喝一点。

他们通常都是友善的南方人，而且他们 明白了。

他们就像是，“你想做什么，伙计？”

我当时想，“我想成为一名企业家。”

他们会说，“哦，真的吗？”

他们问，“[00:37:30] IRR 是什么意思？”

我当时想，“我不知道这意味着 IRR……”我 不知道这意味着

回报的内部比率。

其中一个人只是说，“你永远不会 达到任何成就。

您成功的机会为零 企业家。

他们都笑了，我说：“我不 哭吧。”

我最后一次差点哭出来是在 我简直崩溃了。

你知道吗，我记得躺在床上 晚上，“再也不会有人因为我不懂金融而取笑

了。”

我成为了一名 CFP，获得了财务认证 [00:38:00] 规划师。

直到今天，我都能坚持自己的立场 世界上最有权势的商人。

他们可能比我了解更多，但我不来 像个傻瓜一样。

那是一个付费的转折点 对我来说密西西比时刻。

我已经找到了这个。

唯一的问题是你越成功 是，越少人能对你说

你会尊重他们。

我总是试图填补我的……那个旧的 陈词滥调，永远不要成为

房间里最聪明的人等等。

我有一个[00:38:30]更好的表达方式。

与那些让您感到不舒服的人在一起 在自我层面。

当您在以下环境中感到不舒服时 是学习的时候......这不仅仅是谁

更聪明，因为有时更聪明的人并不 帮助你。

智商有多种形式。

你知道，这很情绪化。

与那些你会说“我不 融入”，而且因为我们都是自恋者

，因为社会和 Instagram 以及所有这一切， 我也对此感到内疚，我们不喜欢

因为自恋者而感到不舒服 [00:39:00] 给自己的故事是你是最好的。

你的世界观很混乱。

这是接线问题。

让我这么说吧。

我需要人们认为他们很聪明。

它真正告诉我的是他们从来没有 围绕真正的聪明人。

如果你真的很聪明，就看这个吧 假设你的智商为 155，比尔·盖茨

和阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦都达到了这一水平。

我的继祖父有 155 的智商。 [00:39:30] 他能流利地说14种语言。

他会写中文。

他是一位国际象棋大师。

他可以与另外三位国际象棋大师对决，而无需 看着黑板。

他们看着棋盘并击败了所有人。

如果您很聪明，就可以做到。

如果您不喜欢，我有好消息告诉您。

沃伦·巴菲特说你只需要大约 125 智商非常成功，但最好

留在你的车道上，然后说：“我不是 太聪明了”，但你可以雇佣 155 个智商的人。

这就是我[00:40:00]所说的一个例子 关于这次重新布线。

这些实用的事情将改变你的生活。

Tom：既然你有一个概念，那就是，永远不要 成为你自己心目中的婊子。

你这是什么意思？

Tai：你的思维是由深层进化驱动的 驱动器。

例如，自恋是一种保护机制。

你的大脑想告诉你[00:40:30]你是 太棒了。

这让你成为了婊子。

你必须覆盖它并说：“你知道 什么，我没那么厉害，所以让我去向厉害的人学习

吧。”

Tom：你有办法让人们去做吗 那个？

我认为这非常重要。

我告诉人们不要相信一切 你的想法说。

当然，不要完全相信自己的情绪。

仅仅因为您有某种情绪并不意味着 你必须按照这一点行事，但是

你如何帮助人们克服这一点。

他们如何克服这个问题？

Tai：我认为人类大部分时间都在学习 通过渗透作用。 [00:41:00] 很难教导

个人取得成功，但你可以做什么 你可以激励人们理解

这一点。

例如，如果您的学校系统可以找到 所有 14 岁的孩子，找出他们

欣赏的人的哪些方面，这就是我展示兰博基尼的原因 和 Ferraris 是因为我有很多年轻的

追随者，你知道 19 岁的家伙是什么 喜欢？

兰博基尼和法拉利。

我展示了我生活的那一部分，因为那时他们 听听其他的东西。

首先，你需要 [00:41:30] 以灵感为引导。

这已经被证明结束了。

你不能把东西猛扑进人们的大脑。

人们实际上做了相反的事情。

当父母告诉孩子“你必须 读”，没有人读，但如果我展示兰博基尼

和法拉利，这就是人们的奖励 想要，然后人们就走了，你是怎么得到的，

我说，“看，我读过的所有这些书，”然后 人们……我认为，我认为阅读

本书的学生比历史上任何人都多。

我没这么自大。

我告诉你，这让我感到惊讶，因为所有 我要做的就是发布一段与兰博基尼有关的视频。

汤姆：好的。

Tai：[00:42:00] 成为你大脑中的婊子 学会不成为最简单的方法

就是与不是泼妇的人在一起 他们自己的大脑。

Joel Salatin，我的第一位导师，我很幸运 够了。

高中刚毕业，而不是继续 上大学时，我 19 岁就和他在一起了，他

脑子不是个混蛋。

他是一个……他醒来后的人，他的生活 更像是一种义务。

他知道自己的职责以及这是否艰巨 或者很容易，他会努力克服它。

每天，例如当您吃早餐时 早上六点 [00:42:30] 在很远的地方，他

根据自己的内容写下并组织内容 今天想做的事。

当你脑子不好的时候，你就会去， “我只是想在舞台上自由发挥。”

组织起来非常困难。

狗没有组织性。

你见过你的狗组织过一天吗？

您可以选择动物方面的行动 只是一种翅膀生活，或者你可以从

逻辑和责任感来运作。

我学到了一些。

我什至不如乔尔那样不成为 我心目中的婊子只是在

[00:43:00]呆了一段时间。

这是最好的方法。

找到一个你看着他们的人，然后你 这是一个有纪律、有动力、

自我激励的人。

他们不需要外部动力。

他们从内部受到激励，并竭尽全力 你可以和他们在一起的时间。

有人想向你学习，我告诉人们， “走到汤姆或类似的公司面前并说

如果可以的话，我将免费为您工作多年 需要是因为我需要在身边。

这是累计小时数。

阿诺德·施瓦辛格 [00:43:30] 在他的书中， 我认为最伟大的自传之一，

《全面回忆》，他有他的原则，那就是 称为次数和组数。

他说，“如果你想要肌肉，那就是重复次数和 健身房里的组数、时间。”

有些人，现在有很多书， 以下是您每天

锻炼 15 分钟的方法。

不，你不能。

你永远不会看起来像阿诺·施瓦辛格。

我不在乎你做了什么生物黑客垃圾。

回到常识吧。

你想成为阿诺德吗？

你必须做阿诺德在 [00:44:00] 中所做的事情 同样的方式。

如果您想向导师学习，如果您 认为和导师在一起五分钟就足够了

你不明白你的想法有多根深蒂固 电线电路是。

你必须重新接线，这需要......相反 重复次数和组数，需要数小时和数天

或数天和数年。

我认为如果你还年轻看这个， 不要太年轻就试图成为百万富翁

因为你年轻时所做的就是工作 在电路部分。

然后钱就会来。

Allan Nation 告诉我的 [00:44:30]。

他说，“Tai，不要试图成为百万富翁 在你20多岁的时候。”

我没有听他的话，但我希望我听了。

幸运的是我听了他的话，但我应该听的 多听。

如果你能度过那些成长岁月 继续冒险吧。

这就是我去印度麻风病人聚集地的原因 和阿米什人一起生活，因为我就像

阿米什人，你拥有的所有好东西，重新编程 我的大脑。

我现在确定自恋得分，我得分 大约 40 到 50，这并不可怕，但也不是

最好的。

[00:45:00] 我向你保证，如果我没有走的话 阿米什人，我是一个 80 岁的自恋者。

我的生活本来会很糟糕，但现在 40 岁了 可以接受。

42 是最后一次测试。

我和他们一起花了两年半的时间。

我认为即使作为一个老年人，我的梦想 即使在今天，在生活中也是要找到一些坏蛋

并欺骗他们每天花八个小时 每周三天和我在一起。

就像我说的 [00:45:30] 与阿诺德一起 45 分钟 施瓦辛格，我太激动了。

与阿诺·施瓦辛格的 45 分钟持续 我喜欢7天。

我不像观察别人那样擅长自助 激励我。

[听不清 00:45:42] 我仍然是一个坚定的信徒 关于参加会议。

伯彻·海瑟薇会议。

这是每年五月的第一周。

这些会费很快就会消失。

查理·芒格、沃伦·巴菲特。

您可以以 500 美元以下的价格购买 B 股。

购买 B 股。

您将获得一张免费门票。

太疯狂了。

你和舞台上的两个 [00:46:00] 男人坐在一起 在拥有 18,000 名世界顶级投资者

的体育场里。

成本不到 500 美元。

你坐下。

飞往奥马哈仅需一天时间 几乎在同一天就回来了，你带着动力

走出去。

你和那个人在一起……他们的事。

我们会遇到这样的企业：“我正在做 1 亿美元 一年。”

他们去年的收入达到了 2000 亿美元 他们是两个快乐的人，

享受生活的乐趣。

我说，“哇。”

我去的第一年，我坐在一个人旁边。

[00:46:30] 一直以来，我都没有注意 给他，然后在出去的路上，我和他交谈了

。

我发现他基本上是最富有的人之一 欧洲的伙计们和我们成了朋友。

他带我飞往德国。

他有 17 名首席执行官，分别为他的不同部门工作 公司。

他说：“来见面吧。”

然后他陪我从酒店出发去做 演讲和回来，我和这个人谈过，

他的名字是诺曼·伦特罗普。

他，在两个小时内步行往返于那个东西。

他解释了他如何建立一个媒体帝国[00:47:00] 从 12 岁开始。

现在，他已经 60 多岁了。

他让我下载 40 年的经验。

我认为他是亿万富翁，我不确定。

他也许不是亿万富翁，但已经 40 岁了 几年了，那是……我认为第二年我在社交媒体上成长并不是巧合

因为他制作旧派媒体，例如杂志

和时事通讯，他告诉我，“这就是如何 你做吧。”

它刚刚被吸收，在六个月内，我 正在做人们在社交媒体上看到的所有重大事情

，但这取决于 [00:47:30] 我得到......你得到的一些人......你

知道活动的好处 辛苦的人，走出家门吧。

你不会在笔记本电脑前磨它， 每天14小时，走向成功。

参加会议、参加研讨会。

现代世界有很多很好的方法可以 只是遇见人。

你永远不知道自己坐在谁旁边。

我可能在 20 天内参加了 20 场活动。

现在，这有点多了。

我是突发的，好吧。

我有点精疲力竭。

你能听到我的声音吗？

数据太疯狂了……我正在寻找 在加密货币 [00:48:00] 像比特币这样的东西。

如果您在 2010 年投入 100 美元的比特币，您会 今天您的帐户中有 7500 万美元，100。

努力工作就是做出正确的决定吗？

献给所有热衷忙碌的人 赶紧上网站吧，

它会帮助你……然后你就知道该做什么了 从他们那里做，可悲的是，如果您开始

您的生意，而您的第一个生意却没有 成功了，你的大脑工作方式，你有

多巴胺受体。 [00:48:30] 现在，科学家们 发现多巴胺受体会增加或

减少。

多巴胺是一种激素或化学物质 你的大脑就是奖励化学物质。

有多个，去甲肾上腺素，催产素 所有这些，但多巴胺的作用方式

就像你去购物时买了很酷的东西 穿上鞋子，你感觉很好，这就是多巴胺

的释放，多巴胺驱动着我们。

当你失败时，你的身体会发生什么 有一些小毛发，它们实际上不是

毛发，但会假装它们在你的大脑中， 他们会掉下来。

[00:49:00] 你得到的更少。

多巴胺受体较少的惩罚 是你变得不那么雄心勃勃了。

当你成功时，你实际上会成长得更多。

这是一门新科学证明了这一点。

重点是，你应该……我不是 相信人们会在他们的第一个

生意中失败。

忘了吧。

建立一家您确信的小型企业 甚至迪恩·史密斯（Dean Smith）也能做到这一点，也许是最伟大的

篮球教练大学教练，他和约翰 木制的。

他说他从来不相信[00:49:30] 设定目标。

你听说过这样一句话：瞄准星星 因为即使你只击中一半，你也会

去月球。

他对此表示胡言乱语。

他说，“制定一个现实的目标，实现它，然后 然后再做一个。

我需要这样的企业家：“Tai，我 磨人的方式。”

我说，“你在做什么？”

“我正在建立一个十亿美元的业务。”

一个人给我写了一封电子邮件，“伙计，我正在建立一个 十亿美元的生意。”

我给他回了信。

这是一封电子邮件，我说：“真的吗？

您曾经赚过 1 亿美元的生意吗？

没有。

您曾经创造过 1000 万美元的生意吗？

不。”

这是我们的电子邮件链。

实际上，这是一个屏幕截图。

就像，“不。 [00:50:00] 你曾经做过吗 10万？

不。”

我说：“让我说清楚。

你就像那个家伙，有很多楼梯 在你面前。

到达顶部有 20 个楼梯，您要去 从 1 跳到 20。

你知道也会跳的人会发生什么 许多步骤？

您可以跳过两到三个步骤，但有一个步骤 我学校的老师之一是兰迪·汤普森（Randy Thompson），他正在

长大。

他试图跳上一些楼梯，但他被 他拿着书，第三次绊倒了

迈步，鼻子撞在混凝土上 [00:50:30] 他说，“人类已知的最痛苦的手术

，基本上就是把你的鼻子从 ......”他把所有的骨头都打碎到他的

脸上，这就是大多数企业家所做的。

他们说，“不，Tai。

我要从零到十亿。”

不，伙计。

正如沃伦·巴菲特所说，“今天是世界 系列赛第七场。

赢得棒球比赛的方法，更安全 只打垒安打。”

如果您击中了基本命中，那么接下来的事情 你知道，你打出了全垒打。

一旦您这样做了几次，您就会 拥有如此多的多巴胺受体，你会

失败。

[00:51:00] 如果您正在观看，我强烈推荐您观看。

自恋与过度相关 野心。

野心太大是一种情况。

野心太大是一种情况。

我总是告诉人们，“你可以拥有大量 愿景，所以有一天你的愿景是……”就像

我的愿景之一，我喜欢拥有一台专业的 篮球队，但它不在我的年度

目标中，因此您的目标是短期的。

我喜欢设定一日目标。

[00:51:30] 我的大部分目标只是一天 但我会有一个更长远的愿景。

不要将愿景和目标分开，不要混淆。

这是一个很大的错误，尤其是现在 关于多巴胺受体的科学，你

有这个巨大的愿景。

你跳上七层楼梯，你绊倒了，撞到了 你的鼻子和大多数人再也不会回来了。

尽可能获胜，即使是小胜利。

对大脑更好。

汤姆：这很有道理。

在我问最后一个问题之前，哪里可以 这些人在网上找到你吗？

Tai：[00:52:00] 你可以访问 tailopez.com。

你可以做 Instagram。

如果您想了解幕后花絮，请访问我的 Snapchat 场景。

我几乎在所有事情上都有泰·洛佩兹 已验证，但我有一个 Facebook 帐户，

Tai Lopez 官方。

汤姆：完美。

好吧，最后一个问题。

您希望产生什么影响 世界？

泰：哦，伙计。

有什么影响？

我给你两个答案。

第一，我这样想可能有点自恋 我确实可以对 [00:52:30]

世界产生影响。

我的部分答案是哲学家所说的 说：“让每个人打扫自己的前廊

，世界就会干净。”

我想我是否能解开这个谜题 我自己的生活，也许有几个人看到

一些东西，然后他们打扫自己的门廊。

我们有一个干净的世界或凉爽的生活。

这就是不自恋的一面。

你想听听前阿米什人的纯粹自恋者吗？

汤姆：是的。

Tai：不，不是纯粹的自恋者。

我试图抑制那部分。

[00:53:00] 我称之为墓碑目标。

我认为你应该考虑一下你的墓碑 然后对其进行逆向工程。

你去吧，我想让我的墓碑写什么 如果我活到100岁呢？

为了得到这个，我的生活经历了什么 到90看看？

在 90 岁时才能做到这一点，需要做什么 看起来就像 80 岁一样。

今天你在逆向工作。

我的讣告目标，我的墓碑，我喜欢我的 墓碑上写着：“这里躺着一位疯狂的科学家。”

世界需要更多疯狂的科学家。

Tom：[00:53:30] 意思是那些正在尝试的人 新事物？

太：是的。

就像我说的，看看穆罕默德·甘地，看看 马丁·路德·金、马尔科姆·X。

那些都是疯狂的科学家。

与它一起经历人生的冒险 小疯狂科学家在你的眼睛里刺痛，

这就是我所得到的。

这就是我所得到的。

汤姆：很好。

Tai，感谢您参加节目。

太棒了。

伙计们，这对我来说是终极故事 对自己的

情况不满意 [00:54:00] 但又不想无所事事的人 并对此不采取任何行动。

他清楚地知道自己需要做什么 是为了找出答案。

他联系他的祖父说： “爷爷，告诉我，我需要

做的是什么？

我需要读的一本书，一个人 我需要与它交谈，这将为我提供

取得成功所需的捷径？”

谢天谢地，他的祖父给他回了信 并说：“没有捷径。

你需要找到很多人 如果您想

到达您要去的地方，我会为您提供很多建议。”

Tai 给自己设定了一个使命：出去并 得到导师，早在[00:54:30]之前他

就有任何理由能够说服这些人 伙计们，他做到了，就像他之前所说的那样，

愿意免费工作，愿意 在研究中，

我发现最令人着迷的事情是 在与他的第一位导师

合作多年之后，他仍在唱着他的歌曲 赞扬了他，他对 Tai 说：“为

他所拥有的每个学徒设定了标准 他仍然从未见过任何人拥有像泰那样的

那种动力和决心。

我认为这就是他事业的标志。

他可能认为自己 [00:55:00] 是个疯子 科学家，但我看到有人进行

系统实验来找出有效的方法， 永远愿意学习，永远

愿意失败，从中学习，尝试一些东西 新的，得到结果，最终你愿意在足够长的时间内做到

不断学习、成长并变得更好，你

就会成为真正的社交先锋 媒体。

这真的非常非常令人难以置信。

有很多东西值得向他学习，但你 必须[00:55:30]愿意保持谦虚

并看看你可以从中学到什么。

就是这样，伙计们。

非常感谢。

Tai: Everybody doesn't win and the sooner you wake up to that, that biology is ruthless,

man.

Then you get a little fear in it.

When you get a little fear in you, you start listening because if you're truly afraid,

you listen.

Let a little fear come in and drive you and motivate you.

Tom: Hey, everybody.

Welcome to Impact Theory.

You are here my friends because you believe that human potential is nearly limitless but

you know [00:00:30] that having potential is not the same as actually doing something

with it.

Our goal with this show and company is to introduce you to the people and ideas that

will help you actually execute on your dreams.

Today's guest has founded, invested in, advised or mentored more than 20 multimillion dollar

companies but that's about as far from where he started as you're going to get.

In the beginning he was just another college dropout living on his mother's couch but this

guy was not a slacker and ultimately he [00:01:00] managed to convince not one or two, but five

ultra successful people to mentor him.

Armed with their knowledge and a deep willingness to learn, he turned the 47 bucks he had in

his bank account into arguably the most famous garage full of exotic cars on the planet.

His secret, an insatiable curiosity.

He says he cares far more about adventure than money and he's got the resume to back

it up.

He's worked sheering sheep in New Zealand, live with the Amish for two-and-a-half years,

[00:01:30] worked in a leper colony in India, worked as a certified financial planner and

as a mentee helped Joel Salatin pioneer grass-fed sustainable agriculture.

He's also a social media pioneer with millions of followers and hundreds of millions of views.

He now lives his life in front of the camera essentially around the clock pumping out entertaining,

educational content and giving away an insane amount of prizes including, at last count,

10 cars.

He is the capital, [00:02:00] the don of the rich and famous entrepreneurial lifestyle

for the millennial generation, but to be blinded by the glitz and glamour of his life would

be to miss the point entirely.

If you look beyond the hype and the conspiracy theories about this guy, his one consistent

message is develop your mind.

Love him or hate him, nothing was handed to him and his earliest mentor even all these

years later is still quick to point out that he's never seen another apprentice with the

drive and determination that today's [00:02:30] guest has.

Please help me in welcoming the man who has read over 5,000 books and has a book club

and podcast that now reaches 1.4 million people in 40 countries.

The new media mogul and serial entrepreneur, Tai Lopez.

What's up, man?

Welcome to the show.

Tai: Thank you.

Tom: Good to have you on.

It was a lot of fun being on your show earlier today so it's now good to flip the tables

as … Dude, I'm super stoked.

I want to get [00:03:00] in to some of the stuff that I found just incredibly intriguing

starting with what you said about the Amish being some of the happiest people that you've

ever met.

In fact, your quote was, "The happiest I've ever been in my life is with the Amish.

It's been downhill since then," which you said tongue-in-cheek but walk us through that.

How did you end up there and what is it about them that makes them so happy?

Tai: How did I end up there?

I think one of my business partners now got a PhD in multi-objective optimization [00:03:30]

basically how to do lots of things at once and he told me a couple of years ago.

He goes, "You know what my conclusion is after 12 years of study at Berkeley?

It's all BS.

You can only optimize for one thing at a time."

As I look back in my life, I think without knowing it, now, I'm a little more clear,

I've optimized for adventure.

There was a point in my life … I had an okay upbringing but my dad was in prison when

I was born.

My mom was married and divorced a few times, and a lot of conflict.

At some point in my life [00:04:00] I picked up this booked called Amish Society by Hostetler,

this professor, and I was fascinated.

I was like, "These people, these Amish people have something that no one else in the United

States and really the world has and I was like I'm going to try an adventure."

I went, got on a bus, went to Lancaster, Pennsylvania and I went to this little town called Bird-in-Hand.

I'll never forget.

I got off the bus, walked to this farm.

This guy Daniel Stolzfus, I had written him a letter, and he said, "You can come visit

me," so I go.

It was instantly [00:04:30] like being in a time machine back in the 1800s.

I walked in the barn and he was shoveling apple [inaudible 00:04:37] which is when you

make apple juice you get … The byproduct is this little fruit stuff.

He's feeding his cows and it was him and his two sons barefoot.

That was my introduction to a new adventure in my life which I pretty much tried to keep

replicating.

I mean people see me doing social media, and cars, and all that but it’s still the same

thing.

I'm a little bit like you.

If you think about [00:05:00] life, you can be nihilistic about life like what's the purpose?

At the end of the day, you can dissect anything and go, "What's the purpose?"

Some people go, "I want to make a billion dollars."

You can say to them, "What's the purpose?

We all die.

We all end up in the same, small grave at the end of the day."

You can say, "I want to become super intelligent.

I want to get married and have kids."

At the end of the day, all flesh is grass and you disappeared just like the grass eventually.

For me, the best guess I had [00:05:30] and maybe some people have spiritual things and

all that and the best guess I've ever come up with is if every day you wake up and you

go, "I don't have it all figured out, let's jump into something crazy and see what happens."

That's how I got started in social media.

I started really dabbling with it in 2012, 2013.

Then in 2014, someone was like, "You should do YouTube.

It's going to be big."

I was like, "Let's try a new adventure."

I just started shooting my first videos in January 25, [00:06:00] 2015.

I put out this video and it ended up cumulatively different versions have 600 million views.

It's gotten a lot of views.

Tom: Here In My Garage?

Tai: Here In My Garage and some other similar garage themed ones.

Everybody should try to be rich and famous at least once and to get it, just to realize

it's not as good as you think but the adventure part is cool.

Also when I say adventure, I also mean gaining insight [00:06:30] into life.

The biggest thing I've learned, if I could be 18 again, I wish somebody had told me basically

nobody knows what they're doing even adults do think everybody is lost and the world is

blind leading the blind.

The ultimate adventure to me is not just like bungee jumping or something like that or going

to the Amish.

It's trying to get insight and see life as a puzzle and your goal in life is to seek

the adventures that piece the puzzle together so that [00:07:00] at the end of your life,

you kind of get it.

I feel like most people don't get what life is.

Think about it.

It's like what is life?

Why are we driven with some basic instincts?

What's the purpose?

I like evolutionary psychology.

All these things led me down this bizarre place and here I am with you.

Tom: I know that you actually have a definition of the good life around the four pillars.

What are the [00:07:30] four pillars and how does it play into everything?

Tai: I always say, health, wealth, love, happiness in that order.

If you're not healthy, you won't care about anything.

I figured health is the trump card and then the reason I put money second over love, it

doesn't mean like you should try to get rich before love.

If you look at Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

The classic kind of way to be happy.

There's five levels to Maslow.

The bottom one is physiological or [00:08:00] physical needs have to be met, food shelter

water.

The second one is safety.

You have to feel safe.

The third one is love.

If you don't have physical and safety right, you don't care about love.

If you don't believe me, look up the number one reason people get divorced, it's financial

issues.

I just figured money doesn't bring happiness but the absence of money brings happiness.

This has been proven all over [00:08:30] and over.

Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize winner.

He said if you make less than 72 grand in America, he's found your happiness suffers

because your stress goes up.

I figure you don't have to be wealthy.

When I say wealth, it doesn't necessarily mean like Forbes list.

It means you have to have your physical needs met and you have to have a margin of safety.

Some money in the bank account.

If every paycheck, you're freaked out, your love life is going to suffer.

Then the top of Maslow's [00:09:00] Hierarchy of Needs become respect and then the last

one, the highest pinnacle is a higher purpose or people call it spiritual.

Health, wealth, and then love.

Then if you get those three, that's how you hit happiness.

Happiness, there's so many books about happiness.

There's a good one called Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt.

The core thing to me happiness is soup.

If you make chicken noodle soup but you forget the chicken, it's not chicken [00:09:30] noodle

soup.

If you forget to put the broth in, it’s just chicken and noodles.

If you forget the noodles … That's what I mean.

Happiness is a compilation of a whole bunch of stuff you do right.

I think I haven't found a better way to think about it.

Tom: How do you go about … Give us some tactics.

How do you tactically optimize for them?

Do you attack them sequentially?

Do you make real-time calls about, "Oh, I'm a little low on happiness [00:10:00] or love,"

or whatever?

How do you play that?

Tai: Like I said, I don't optimize for the last one.

I try to get the first three right.

Steve Jobs said he didn't want to be the richest man in the graveyard.

Do you want to be the richest man in the graveyard?

I want to be the happiest man on the way to the graveyard?

Some of that, you have to postpone pleasure.

A good investor is somebody who postpone present pleasure for future gain.

You work hard in the day.

Some stuff is a pain in the butt.

I built lots of businesses.

[00:10:30] I know what it is to be an entrepreneur.

I'm saying I know that chess move and what I'm telling you is two chess moves pass that

chess move.

Optimizing your life for hustling and grinding is optimizing your life around going P. P

is something you have to do.

It's not the goal.

You don't, "Whoa!

You know what my goal is?

Hit the toilet seven times a day."

No.

You have to do it to survive.

Grinding and working hard and [00:11:00] hustling is not what you optimize for.

It's pain.

Why would you optimize for pain?

It is a necessity.

If you look at actual scientific explanation of what makes you successful, it is not just

hard work.

If that's true, construction workers would be the wealthiest people in the world.

Waiters and bus boys, they work harder than owner.

The most scientific psychometric personality test is called HEXACO.

It’s more accurate than big [00:11:30] five which used to be … It's much more accurate

than Myers-Briggs, INFJ, ENTP all that stuff.

HEXACO test, you're on 26 facets of your personality.

One of them is called conscientiousness.

It's been proven over and over by scientists, conscientiousness is the most correlated with

business success.

Tom: Define conscientiousness.

Tai: Then it divides into four sub-facets.

Organization, perfectionism, diligence and prudence.

The real truth is hard work is [00:12:00] 25% of the formula because diligence is known

in the common language as hard work.

If you just think diligence alone will get you success, you're like a basketball player

that thinks you'll play in the NBA because you can shoot free throws.

You ever seen the best free throw shooters in the world?

They're 70-year-old men who shoot underhanded but they don't play in the NBA because the

NBA is not all about free throws.

NBA is scoring, defense.

Free throw is maybe one component, rebounding, [00:12:30] assists.

There's lot of components.

The other three you have to get good at.

The first one is perfectionism.

People, you have to know how to double-check your work.

It's that simple.

It doesn't mean you're always a perfectionist but it means when it's important, when you're

a pilot of an airplane, double-check before you go.

If you get on a plane, you hear the pilots double-checking.

The co-pilot going, hydraulics and the guys goes hydraulics.

That's why planes don't crash.

[00:13:00] It's called Six Sigma.

It's three defects per million.

Your goal in business and in life on the important things is to make three mistakes per million

transactions.

The only way you do that is by being a perfectionist in terms of double-check.

That's 25%.

The next one is organization.

I can't tell you how much better my life is and anybody watching this will be if you wake

up every single day and you take 10 minutes.

I have yellow notepads sitting all around my house.

I got that from Bill [00:13:30] Gates.

Bill Gates built Microsoft at 17 by locking himself up in a hotel room with six yellow

notepads and he wrote out the whole basic code for dozen things that built Microsoft.

He became the richest man in the world.

18 years straight because he was organized enough to lock himself in a room and think

through his day.

What I try to do and whenever I do this, I have a great day.

Whenever I don't, I notice it.

Be organized a little bit, 10 minutes.

I actually have this little couch thing outside of my shower and I put a notepad [00:14:00]

by it.

I take a shower when I wake up, I walk over to it, I sit there and I just write out.

I mean it can be as little as three main projects you want to get done that day.

Organization is the other 25%.

Then you have diligence which is hard work, hustle, and perseverance but the last one

is the kicker.

This is what I was talking about the rewiring that has to happen.

The last one is something called prudence scientist calls this prudence.

Prudence is the ability to make the right decision and I can’t tell [00:14:30] you

how many entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs, even me at times too, I'm not special, I'm

lumping all of us in this because of our upbringing society, our goal … Let’s say our goal

is like that camera right there.

Let's assume that's north.

I have this compass in my brain and my goal is to go right there.

Let's say it's a mile way, so north.

What happens is society, my upbringing in school, wired my compass exactly backwards.

[00:15:00] I think, let's say I can't see that camera but I want to go north so I pull

out my compass and it points that way.

I just take off walking and I do in an organized fashion.

I do in a perfectionist manner.

I'm perfecting my steps and my posture.

I'm also working on hard work and hustle.

Keep walking towards your goal.

The truth is if you go south when you should go north, you could have gone one mile but

the earth is about 24,000 miles in circumference so you get to walk 24, [00:15:30] 000 miles

and you'll come up on the backside and you will get your goal.

That's most entrepreneurs.

The average person takes 20 years to become a millionaire. 90% of business has failed

within the first five years, 80 to 90 depending on what statistic.

Most people, I did the math once.

The average American has $60,000 saved by the time they're about 60 years old.

My answer, I did the math, you can do this with the financial calculator, everybody in

[00:16:00] America, your parents, everybody you know will be a millionaire if they live

to 160.

At 160 years old, you take 60 grand at age 60 and you give it a decent return on investment,

8%, 10%.

You'll be a millionaire at 160 but the problem is the great philosopher, I think it was Aristotle,

Socrates said the problem is art is long but life is short.

The art of living and getting to your objective [00:16:30] is long but it doesn't have to.

It's long if your compass is backwards.

The whole point of what I was saying about adventure at the beginning is I'm trying to

take myself and point it to the true north.

You have to learn that from books and mentors and life experience and listening and finding

in person mentors and all those things.

They help adjust your compass and most people are going to get what they want just about

40 years longer.

I live in Beverly Hills, trust me.

You [00:17:00] downtown Beverly Hills, there's other people … I like to collect cars.

It's not so much.

I've always liked cars.

It's not a materialistic showoff thing like a lot of people think.

My grandma said I love cars when I was one.

I used to try to turn a car on the garage . You go to downtown Beverly Hills, full of

Ferraris.

The most Ferrari per cap at anyone in the world.

Everyone of the guys is 80 or 90.

Why do you want a Ferrari at 80 or 90?

You want a walker?

We got to walk you in to your [inaudible 00:17:30] [00:17:30] and then you're going to get in

a Ferrari?

You know how dumb you look?

To me at 90, you want to be playing with your grand kids and I've wondered why the heck

is everybody 90 in this town excluding people who inherit their money from their dad.

I realize we're set up for failure because we think we're going north but we're going

south.

That's why 50% of people who get married, divorced.

80% of businesses fail.

That's why 30% of Americans are on some [00:18:00] form of antidepressant medication.

That's why 60, 70% of people are overweight.

I mean in a way we're fucked but- Tom: Are there key principles though that

you can use to turn that compass north actually points north?

Tai: Yes.

First one is like Alcoholics Anonymous.

Admit you're lost.

That one is hard for people.

Even for me, sometimes I want to think I'm smart and I got it all figured out.

Sometimes I'm like wait a second I'm still lost.

The acquiescence, [00:18:30] the admittance of the fact that you're still lost, it gets

you on track a lot faster.

If you're watching this and you feel lost, it's better to just sit down and be like I'm

lost because the day you admit you're lost is the day you allow yourself to be found

by people who can give you a tip.

Tom: What's the equivalent of that because obviously if you are an entrepreneur, nobody

is looking for you so that's the [crosstalk 00:18:56].

Tai: They are though.

Tom: Who is?

Tai: They are.

You go to Barnes & Noble, [00:19:00] people selling their books.

They're looking for you as a customer.

Tom: So read?

Tai: Read.

The thought that people argue with me on this reading thing, and people argue with me about

mentor.

No, just use your own gut feeling.

Is that how you learn English when you were two years old, you use your gut feeling to

start conjugating verbs?

No, you learn from other people.

You learn manners, you learn language.

You learn all things valuable.

You learn to drive from another person.

Doesn't it make sense you learn life?

Books are just [00:19:30] the mentors who maybe are dead now.

You want to know about Steve Jobs, he ain't alive to teach you but you can learn through

accumulating wisdom and that's what …Trust me.

Very few powerful business men I've ever met, don't read a lot.

Warren Buffet who I think is the best business man by far in the world because he has 75

companies that he pretty much runs, 200 billion in revenue, he reads eight hours a day.

He said he slowed down in his old age.

He only reads 500 pages a [00:20:00] day.

Bill Gates goes on reading vacations.

Mark Zuckerberg just started a reading once a week book club on Facebook and already got

a couple million followers.

Now with audio books, there's no excuse.

You've got YouTube videos.

Let this thing run in the background.

It's better if you can find it.

I mean better than books is in person mentoring.

That's why I do a podcast.

Tom was on my podcast.

You're a smart dude.

I learn from you like I learn from you today, I like your angle on how to get in physical

locations.

If you launch a physical [00:20:30] product, you want to get it in stores, don't be thirsty.

Like I said, Casanova said, "Be the flame, not the moth."

Let them come to you, and that's what you did with Quest and now you sell 1.5 million

bars a day.

That's good.

If you can build up one good nugget whether it's from an in-person mentor, whether it's

from a book, you become very wealthy and knowledgeable very quickly.

One nugget a day.

It's like Charlie Munger.

Warren Buffet's business partner said, "Step by step you get a hit but not necessarily

in fast [00:21:00] spurts.

You have to prepare for the fast spurts by learning step by step so when the day comes

and I launch a physical product I'll hopefully be smart enough and humble enough to be like

I got to sit down.

I've never launched a company at 1.5 million bars.

I can download a conversation with you.

You want to become a super computer you just download smart crap from smart people.

You pick and choose.

Some people are like, "Tai, I don’t agree with everything you say."

I'm like, "Good, I don't agree [00:21:30] with everything I say."

A year later, "Wait, I was wrong."

Tom: I actually saw a very intriguing piece of content that you did where somebody was

trolling you on Twitter and move that confused the shit out of me.

You decided to call him on Skype or whatever.

Tai: I said, "Let's debate live right now."

Tom: You did and you kept asking him a question that I thought was so spot in which he kept

refusing to answer but it was, "Hey, you're engaging with me.

I'm creating all this content [00:22:00] about how I've done what I've done and instead of

going, "You have actually done something that's pretty interesting, you're heckling me and

instead of being intrigued by my results."

That to me was very interesting.

That switched in people's minds.

It's either on or off.

Either they look at somebody else and they go, "This guy is doing something right.

Holy hell," or they try to find a reason to shut you down, not listen to you, discredit

you, whatever the case maybe.

I [00:22:30] thought that was pretty interesting.

Talk to us a little bit about that.

How often do you see that in people and do you ever see that mentality in people who

are successful?

Tai: Like Drake says, "If you don’t have haters, you ain't popping."

[inaudible 00:22:44] pop, you're going to get hate.

It's interesting.

This fascinates me.

The more successful beyond my wildest dreams of my success, the more they ask me questions.

The last time I saw Elon Musk, I've had some [00:23:00] very interesting conversations

with guy.

He's one of the smartest guys I've ever met.

Elon Musk, we've talked … I'm not a close friend of his by any means but we've talked.

He goes to the same things.

He loves Hollywood.

He's always at red carpet things, I go too.

We're in the bathroom and he comes in.

I said, "Hey, Elon.

We talked about books last time."

He goes, "Oh, yeah.

I remember you.

You're the social media."

He goes, "I got a question for you, man.

Do you think I should use Snapchat to grow Tesla?"

[00:23:30] I was like, "Okay."

He goes, "I know you know about Snapchat.

Tell me."

I start talking to him.

20 minutes later, it was Game of Thrones premier six and I go, "What do you think?"

After I gave him my long diatribe, he goes, "I think you're wrong, but thank you."

Then he walked off.

I was like this guy is so smart.

I realized you talked about checkmate.

I was an idiot because I should have flipped [00:24:00] the conversation to get him to

teach me for 20 minutes.

He walked in the room knowing what he knew, I knew what I knew but I gave him all my jewels

and he walked away with them like a smart guy.

I see making people fun of the Kardashians.

I'm like, "You're going to make fun of the Kardashians?

Look, Kylie Jenner the youngest Kardashian in the last 18 months has done $400 million

in revenue on lipstick kits and various makeup things with Kylie cosmetics, put that in perspective.

[00:24:30] L'Oreal, Maybelline, massive brands.

It took them 50 years as an organization with thousands of employees to do what Kylie Jenner

did by herself at 20 at 18.

You're going to laugh at the Kardashians?

Do you have to agree with every Kardashians?

No.

Like Abraham Lincoln said, "I learn from everybody even if sometimes it's what not to do."

You can just go into the Kardashians, reverse engineer their success, go, "I like this,

I like this, I [00:25:00] like this.

I don't like that."

Then leave out what you don't like.

I've never met a person who's a deity.

You dissect anybody and we all are just … It's just like Mark Twain said, "All humans are

like the moon.

You got your light side and you have the dark side."

if anybody watching wants their whole life projected up on a screen for the whole world

to watch from birth to day and you think that it'll be … You won't be embarrassed of a

few things, who would [00:25:30] be?

I'm sure the Kardashians.

I'm sure there's things that I look back in my life and I'm like, "You were an idiot,

Tai, but welcome to the idiot place called Planet Earth."

There's just two kids of idiots.

People who know it and people who don't.

If you're lost, just sit down.

If you're an entrepreneur, sit down and then reach out from where you're sitting.

Grab a book here, grab this.

Listen to Tom.

There's so many sources.

Now, we're the most spoiled generation of the world because when you and I got started

… I started Google AdWords in 2001.

[00:26:00] I got lucky.

I just stumbled and I was one of the first people to ever use online advertising.

I was in, I think, the second month Google AdWords launched and there was no YouTube

videos, there was no Perry Marshall books, there was nothing.

You just wasted money to learn.

Now, we're the most spoiled generation.

Everything this computer on this phone, iPhone 7 is more powerful than the first rocket than

put man on the moon, that caused billions of dollars.

Now, we get that for under 1,000 bucks [00:26:30] and people are still like, "I'm lost."

Yes, you're lost.

Sit down and then open up Safari and go, "How to do Google ads?"

You're going to come up … Let's see what I come up with.

AdWords they have their own tutorial.

WordStream, Jumpify.

You got some paid stuff then you have some free stuff on HubSpot.

If you sit in a chair, Charlie Munger calls it assiduity.

Put your ass in a chair.

Sit [00:27:00] there and focus without being … You know the average American right now?

The average person in the world, our attention span has dropped five seconds.

The sad news is the average gold fish has six seconds.

We're now competing with gold fish and the gold fish are winning.

If you're going to have assiduity to sit down read … There is no solution for you.

You will always be poor because you will always be beat by somebody who's willing to sit in

the chair.

Tom: Is there a way for people to build that discipline?

Tai: Yes.

Pain [00:27:30] and that's why I'm not a big believer in delusion.

You asked me one of the rewiring things we have to do on this world.

I'll tell you one.

You ever heard this myth?

Everything happens for a reason so just accept it.

There's truth to that.

If I jump off a building and break my legs, yes, everything happened for a reason, the

reason was gravity.

That's why you break your legs and physics.

Leg is brittle, concrete not brittle.

People interpret everything happens for a reason be like, " [00:28:00] I was meant to

learn from that thing and then BS."

Read Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene, one of the most important books written in the

last century.

He says, "Organisms that only learn through trial and error lose to organisms that can

learn through other people's trial and error."

We got a little live audience.

Anybody here ever had to be hit by a car to learn to look both ways?

I didn't.

I learned from just somebody telling [00:28:30] me, big car, two tons, velocity, smash, dead

and I know always look both ways.

If your myth is that the only way you're going to learn is just through massive mistakes

and trials and errors, you haven't read Richard Dawkins' book.

If you believe in evolution or even you don't, you live in creationism or whatever, why do

we have big plans because we do have the biggest brains on Planet Earth.

Not always use them but we got the biggest potential.

[00:29:00] It's to be able to what Richard Dawkins call project.

You can literally sit in this chair and predict outcomes without having to do them.

I can predict if I don't listen to Tom's advice on how to do a physical snack bar and get

it into stores or physical product by playing hard to get for a year like he did, then I

can predict most likely it's going not go well for me.

I can predict that if [00:29:30] I download what you did, it's going to go better for

me statistically and that skill makes you a powerful person, very powerful.

Tom: Explain though how does pain allow somebody to more disciplined?

Tai: Going back to that myth of when you see your life and anytime there should be pain,

you go, "No, no, no, no.

It was just how it was meant to be.

No.

Look yourself in the mirror sometimes and go, "You know why I'm not happy, it’s because

[00:30:00] I didn't listen 10 years ago and I got in the wrong career.

You know I'm not happy because I married the wrong damn person.

It wasn't meant to happen."

Yes, everything happens for a reason.

You made a bad choice but it didn't have to be that way.

The second you build up pain and this by the way is not my opinion, if you talk to guys

like Dr. David Buss, top 10 most sided psychologist in history.

He's one of my main mentors.

He told me … I said, "Do adults change?

[00:30:30] We do all this self help videos and podcast."

I said, "Am I wasting my time?"

He goes, "Yeah, kind of."

I said, "Why?"

He said, "After 25, it's very hard to teach old dogs some tricks."

By the way, that's why I've changed.

Most of my stuff targets people 18 to 25.

That's why I do Snapchat and all that because there's hope for 18 to 25 years old.

Now, if you're 25, before you get depressed, he told me, "I have good news for you, Tai."

I said, "What?"

He said, "Adults learn through massive trauma, [00:31:00] so you will learn."

You have to let in some trauma into your life.

That's rough but no pain, no gain.

If you are 100 pounds overweight and you want to be able to play basketball, here's my news

for you.

Everything happens for a reason.

You got fat because you ate too much and you didn't exercise so welcome to the gym.

In the first years can be held but that pain hopefully will reprogram your brain and every

time you want to eat that nasty [00:31:30] thing go, "Wait, I don't want to go through

that pay again.

I think one of the myths of society is we won't let pain in, we just excuse it all away.

"No, that was meant to happen.

You wasted 20 years of your life marrying the wrong person and the wrong career.

No, Tom.

It was meant to happen."

Where's the people who go, "You fucked up, dude.

You wasted 20 years and you will never get it back.

You better go in your room and cry."

The truth is, you only learned as an adult, unfortunately most people can only change

with massive trauma.

It was funny.

I heard [00:32:00] this from Dr. Buss a couple years ago and I was lucky enough to sit next

to Kobe Bryant for the last three games of his career.

Not the very last one but the three ones.

I sat at the end of the Lakers bench right to him.

One of his players, I won't say who was having a bad game.

Free throws, they're lined up the whole stadium is quiet.

Kobe Bryant yells out him.

He goes, "Dude, you suck."

He wasn't joking.

It was shocking to me.

No one could hear unless you were right … Kobe [00:32:30] turned to Metta World Peace, Ron

Artest.

He was sitting next to him and he goes, "This positive reinforcement thing is way overrated.

People need to hear the truth.

Ryan Kelly he turned around and looked at Kobe and I was so impressed.

He said, "I know."

He literally sat down and said, "Yeah, I lost this game."

I kid you not, the rest of the game he had excelled.

He scored 10, 12 points off the bench after that.

I was like, "See this Kobe guy gets it.

he's [00:33:00] a winner."

You can't always just bring pleasure and pat everybody.

He didn't say, "Yo, Kelly.

You're not playing well but it's all happening for a reason, buddy.

Relax, no pressure."

He just said, "Dude, you suck."

It was like that and I'm going, "This is the real Kobe."

Tom: can I tell you a fantasy of mine?

I say this knowing full well that my employees are listening right now.

I've asked them all to give me aggressive feedback in real- [00:33:30] time to my face

in front of the entire team and the reason that I want that, one, I just want to know

the truth because this is the only way I'm going to get better so I'm never afraid to

look stupid and I'm certainly not afraid when I'm lost.

Two, I want to set the standard.

I want people to see that you should be able to emotionally deal with somebody telling

you that you sick when you suck.

My fantasy is to have that kind of environment here at Impact Theory where if you're sucking

… You don't need to go out of your way to be

mean but the pain needs to be felt because I really [00:34:00] believe what you were

saying that certainly as adults and it's probably true for kids as well, you will learn when

it hurts.

It breaks most people and this is why people don't use the strategy.

Most people have to free throw a line.

Kobe says, "You suck."

That ends their basketball career, dude.

If they were a 14 -year-old kid and Kobe and came in and said, "You suck," 999 out of 1,000

kids break, the other kid goes on to be the next Kobe Bryant.

I want to be in that world [00:34:30] because it's made me sharper.

Now, I came up in the business world not … In the business world, it came up hard.

I had mentors that were ruthlessly mean to me.

In that process, I thought there are times, I fucking hate them so much, I can't see straight,

but I know they're making me better.

I went back every day, every day, every day.

I developed this notion that entrepreneurs that do the best are the ones that can self

soothe the fastest because I needed to hear it.

[00:35:00] I needed to know that I sucked.

Then I needed to go very quickly get my head back on, take that information and improve.

Tai: One of the things, I was talking about Dr. David Buss.

There's this test called the Dark Triad test which again anything important like this nobody

ever learned it at school because schools are too stupid to take real powerful science

and apply the light.

The Dark Triad is a world view barometer for everybody watching.

You can take it.

There's a different free Dark Triad [00:35:30] test online.

It tests for three main traits, negative qualities.

Narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychotic.

I personally tested thousands and thousands of people.

It's most accurate test and what happens, narcissism.

One of the symptoms of a narcissist is not just like, "Oh, I like to look in the mirror.

That's what we think of a narcissist.

One of the classic symptoms is very thin skin.

They're always offended.

If you have a friend that anything you say constructively they fall apart, it's almost

[00:36:00] always narcissism.

Even if they are introverted, there's multiple forms, there's introverted narcissism, extroverted,

exploitative, all these different sub facets of narcissism.

We live in a society that's very narcissistic.

You're told, everybody is a winner.

No, not everybody is a winner.

That's like saying everybody is blonde.

There's a definition of what blonde is.

Blonde is like this yellowish hair.

You lose meaning when you start going everybody is blonde.

Everybody doesn’t win.

As soon as you wake up [00:36:30] to that, that biology is ruthless, man.

Then you get a little fear in there.

When you get a little fear in you, you start listening because if you're truly afraid,

you listen.

Let a little fear come in and drive you and motivate you.

Now, when I was about, I don't know early 20s, I was in Mississippi with these five

mentors.

A guy, Allan Nation, Gary Townsend, Dr. Gordon, all these guys, I really looked up to.

They're like 60 years old.

They were the people, [00:37:00] the only millionaires I ever met.

I didn't grow up … I was born at Long Beach, Compton kind of area and never was around

anybody who would make 100 grand a year.

I meet these guys.

They're like, "Come, we're going on a hunting trip in Mississippi.

I go down there and we're in these lodges, cabins and then we're having hotdogs over

the fire.

They start drinking a little bit.

They were normally nice southerners and they got me.

They're like, "What do you want to do, man?"

I was like, "I want to be an entrepreneur."

They're like, "Oh, really?"

They go, " [00:37:30] What does IRR mean?"

I was like, "I have no idea It means IRR … " I didn't know that it meant Internal Rate of

Return.

One of them just goes, "You're never going to amount to anything.

There's zero chance you will ever be a successful entrepreneur.

They all laughed and I was like, "I don't cry."

The last time I got close to crying was that I was just like devastated.

You know what, I remember laying in bed that night going, "No one will ever make fun of

me again for not knowing about finance."

I became a CFP, certified [00:38:00] financial planner.

To this day, I can hold my own around the most powerful business men in the world.

They might know more than me but I don't come up as a fool.

That was a turning point paying moment that Mississippi moment for me.

I've sought this out.

The one problem is the more successful you are, the less people can say that to you that

you'll respect them.

I'm always trying to fill my … That old cliché, never be the smartest person in the

room and all that.

I have a [00:38:30] better way to say it.

Be around people who make you uncomfortable at the ego level.

When you feel uncomfortable in settings that is when the learning … It's not just who's

smarter because sometimes smarter people don't help you.

There's many forms of IQ.

There's emotional, you know.

Get around someone where you're like, "I don't fit in," and because we're all narcissist

because of society and Instagram and all this, and I'm guilty of that too, we don't like

to be uncomfortable because a narcissist [00:39:00] story to themselves is you're the best.

Your worldview is messed up.

That's the wiring issue.

Let me put it this way.

I need people to think they're smart.

What it really tells me is they've never been around actual smart people.

If you're really smart watching this, let's say you have a 155 IQ, that's what Bill Gates

has and Albert Einstein were up there.

My step grandfather had 155 IQ. [00:39:30] He speaks 14 language fluently.

He can write Chinese.

He is a chess master.

He can play three other chess masters without looking at the board.

They look at the board and beat all them.

If you're smart, you can do that.

If you're not, I got good news for you.

Warren Buffet says you only need about a 125 IQ to be very successful, but it's better

to stay in your lane and just go, "I'm not that smart," but you can hire 155 IQs.

That's an example of what I'm [00:40:00] talking about of this rewiring.

These practical things will change your life.

Tom: Since you have a concept called, never be the bitch of your own mind.

What do you mean by that?

Tai: Your mind is driven by deep evolutionary drives.

For example, narcissism is a protection mechanism.

Your mind wants to tell [00:40:30] you you're amazing.

It makes you its bitch.

You have to overwrite that and go, "You know what, I'm not that amazing, so let me go learn

from amazing people."

Tom: Do you have methods for people to do that?

I think that's so important.

I tell people don't trust everything that your mind says.

Certainly, don't buy into all of your emotions.

Just because you have an emotion doesn't mean you have to act in accordance with that but

how do you help people get over that.

How do they overcome that?

Tai: I think humans for the most part learn by osmosis. [00:41:00] It's hard to lecture

people into success but what you could do is you could inspire people to understand

this.

For example, if you school system could find all the 14 year olds and find out what they

admire in people, it's the reason I show Lamborghinis and Ferraris is because I got a lot of young

followers and you know what 19-year-old guys like?

Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

I show that part of my life because then they listen to the other stuff.

First, you got [00:41:30] to lead by inspiration.

This has been proven over.

You cannot pounce stuff into people's brain.

People actually do the opposite.

When parents tell their kids, "You got to read," nobody reads, but if I show a Lamborghini

and Ferrari which is the reward that people want and then people go how did you get it,

I said, "See, all these books I read," then people … I have more school kids reading

books I think than anyone in history.

I don't say that cocky.

I'm telling you, it astounds me because all I had to do was put up a video with Lamborghinis.

Tom: Right.

Tai: [00:42:00] Being the bitch of your brain the way you learn not to be the easiest way

is to be around people who aren't the bitch of their own brain.

Joel Salatin, my first mentor, I was lucky enough.

Right out of high school, instead of going to college, I was with him at 19 and he is

not a bitch of his brain.

He's a man of … He wakes up and his life is more like a duty.

He knows his duty and whether it’s hard or easy, he plows through it.

Everyday for example when you have breakfast six [00:42:30] in the morning on a far, he

writes out and organize things on what he wants to do for the day.

When you're a bitch of your brain you go, "I'm just going to freewheel the stage."

It's very hard to be organized.

Dogs aren't organized.

Do you ever see your dog organizing day?

You can either act on the animal side which is just a wing life or you can operate from

a sense of logic and duty.

I learn somewhat.

I'm not even as good as Joel to not be the bitch of my mind by just being around for

[00:43:00] a while.

That's the best way.

Find somebody that you look at them and you go this is a person of discipline, motivation,

self-motivation.

They don't need external motivation.

They're motivated from within and spend all the time you can around them.

Someone wants to learn from you, I tell people, "Go walk up to Tom or a company like and say

I'll work for you for free for years if it need be because I need to be around.

It's cumulative hours.

Arnold Schwarzenegger [00:43:30] in his book, one of the great autobiographies in my opinion,

Total Recall, he has his principle, it’s called reps and sets.

He said, "If you want muscles, it's reps and sets, hours in the gym."

Some people, there's a lot of books now and here’s how you can work out 15 minutes a

day.

No, you can't.

You never going to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I don’t care what biohacking crap you do.

Just return to common sense.

You want to be Arnold?

You got to do what Arnold did [00:44:00] in the same way.

If you want to learn from mentors, if you think five minutes with a mentor will be enough

you don't understand how deeply rooted your wire circuitry is.

You got to rewire it and it takes … Instead of reps and sets, it takes hours and days

or days and years.

I think that if you're young watching this, don't try to become a millionaire too young

because what you do when you're young is work on the circuitry part.

Then the money will come.

Allan Nation told me [00:44:30] that.

He said, "Tai, don't try to become a millionaire in your 20s."

I didn't listen to him and I wish I had.

Luckily I listened to him but I should have listened more.

If you could take those formative years and just go on the adventure.

That's why I went to India in a leper colony and went live with Amish because I was like

Amish, all the good stuff you have, reprogram my brain.

I'm sure on the narcissism score now, I score around 40 to 50 which isn't horrific but isn't

the best.

[00:45:00] I guarantee you, if I haven't gone Amish, I'd been an 80 narcissist.

My life would have sucked but now at 40 is acceptable.

42 is last test.

It took me two-and-a-half years with them.

I think even as an older person, man, my dream in life even today is to find some badass

and trick them into spending eight hours a day with me for three days a week.

Like I said [00:45:30] 45 minutes with Arnold Schwarzenegger, I was so motivated.

45 minutes with Arnold Schwarzenegger lasted me like seven days.

I'm not big in self-help like I watch people to motivate me.

[inaudible 00:45:42] I'm still a big believer on going to conferences.

Bircher Hathaway Conference.

It's the first week of May of every year.

These dues are going to die soon.

Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet.

You can buy a B share for under 500 bucks.

Buy a B share.

You get a free ticket.

It's insane.

You sit there with two [00:46:00] men on stage in a stadium of 18,000 of the top investors

in the world.

It costs under 500 bucks.

You sit.

It's only one day at flying to Omaha and fly back out almost the same day and you walk

out just motivated.

You're with the guy that … Their business.

We meet businesses like, "I'm doing 100 million a year."

They did 200 billion in revenue last year and they're two jolly guys that just have

fun with life.

I'm like, "Wow."

First year I went, I sat next to a guy.

[00:46:30] The whole time, I didn't pay attention to him and then on the way out, I talked to

him.

I found out he's basically one of the richest guys in Europe and we became friends.

He flew me to Germany.

He has 17 CEOs who work for his different companies.

He said, "Come meet."

Then he walked me from the hotel to do the speech and back and I talked to this guy,

his name is Norman Rentrop.

He, in two hours walking to and from the thing.

He explained how he built a media empire [00:47:00] starting at age 12.

Now, he's in his 60s.

He let me download 40 years of experience.

I think he's a billionaire, I'm not sure.

He's maybe not quite a billionaire but 40 years and that was … I think it's not coincidental

that the next year I grew on social media because he did old school media like magazines

and newsletters and he told me, "Here's how you do it."

It just absorbed and within six months, I was doing all the big stuff that people see

on social media, but that hinged on [00:47:30] me getting … Some people you got … You

know a good thing for activity all you good hard workers, get out of the house.

You will not grind it in front of your laptop, 14 hours a day to success.

Go to conferences, go to seminars.

There are great ways in the modern world to just meet people.

You never know who you're sitting next to.

I probably gone to 20 events in 20 days.

Now, that's a little much.

I go in bursts okay.

I'm a little bit burned out.

Can you hear my voice?

It was insane that the data … I'm looking at cryptocurrency [00:48:00] stuff like Bitcoin.

If you put $100 in Bitcoin in 2010, you would have $75 million today in your account, 100.

Is that working hard is that making good decisions?

For all of you who are really big on the hustle your ass off, hustling the networking site,

it will help you … Then you learn what to do from them and the sad thing is if you start

your business and your first business doesn't succeed, the way your brain works, you have

dopamine receptors. [00:48:30] Now, scientists have found that dopamine receptors add or

subtract.

Dopamine is the hormone or the chemical in your brain that is the reward chemical.

There's multiple one, norepinephrine, oxytocin and all these, but the way dopamine works

is like when you go shopping and you buy cool shoes and you feel good, that’s the dopamine

release and dopamine drives us.

What happens is when you fail, your body, there are like little hairs, they're not actually

hairs but will pretend they are in your brain, they fall off.

[00:49:00] You get less of them.

The penalty for having less dopamine receptors is you become less ambitious.

When you succeed you actually grow more.

It's a new science showing this.

The point being, you should … I'm not a believer in having people fail in their first

business.

Forget that.

Build a small business that you're sure you can pull off even Dean Smith maybe the greatest

basketball coach college coach, him and John Wooden.

He said he was never a believer in [00:49:30] setting goal.

You ever heard the thing, shoot for the stars because even if you only hit halfway you'd

go to the moon.

He called BS on that.

He said, "Make a realistic goal, hit it and then make another one.

I need entrepreneurs who are like, "Tai, I'm grinding way."

I'm like, "What are you doing?"

"I'm building a billion dollar business."

A guy wrote me an email, "Dude, I'm building a billion dollar business."

I wrote him back.

It was an email and I said, "Really?

Have you ever made $100 million business?

No.

Have you ever made a $10 million business?

No."

This is our email chain.

Actually, it's a screenshot.

It's like, "No. [00:50:00] Have you ever made 100,000?

No."

I said, "Let me get this straight.

You're like the dude, there's a lot of stairs in front of you.

There's 20 stairs to the top and you're going to do the jump from 1 to 20.

You know what happens to people who jump too many steps?

You can skip maybe two or three step but one of my school teachers is Randy Thompson growing

up.

He tried to jump up some stairs and he was holding books and he tripped on the third

step and hit his nose on the concrete [00:50:30] and he says, "The most painful surgery known

to mankind to basically unplug your nose from … " He cracked all the bone up into his

face and that's what most entrepreneurs do.

They go, "No, Tai.

I'm going from zero to one billion."

No, man.

As Warren Buffet said, "Today is the world series game seven.

The way to win a baseball game, it's safer to just hit base hits."

If you hit a of base hits, the next thing you know, you hit a home run.

Once you've done that a few times, you'll have so many dopamine receptors that you would

fail.

[00:51:00] I highly recommend if you're watching.

By the narcissism is associated with over ambition.

There is such a thing about as being too ambitious.

There is such a thing as being too ambitious.

What I always tell people, "You can have massive vision so one day your vision is …" Like

one of my vision thing, I love to own a pro basketball team but it's not in my annual

goal so you have goals that are short term.

I like to set one day goals.

[00:51:30] Most of my goals are just one day but I'll have a vision that's longer.

Don't separate, don't confuse vision and goals.

It's a big mistake and especially now that the sciences about dopamine receptors you

have this huge vision.

You jump up seven stairs, you trip fall, hit your nose and most people never come back.

Win when you can even if it's small wins.

Better for the brain.

Tom: That makes a lot of sense.

Before I ask my final question, where can these guys find you online?

Tai: [00:52:00] You can go to tailopez.com.

You can do Instagram.

My Snapchat if you want to see behind the scenes.

I got Tai Lopez at almost everything, all verified except I got a Facebook account,

Tai Lopez Official.

Tom: Perfect.

All right, final question.

What is the impact that you want to have on the world?

Tai: Oh, man.

What's the impact?

I'll give you two answers.

One, it's probably narcissistic of me to think that I can really have an impact on the [00:52:30]

world.

Part of my answer is what the philosopher said, "Let every man sweep his own front porch

and the world will be clean."

I guess if I can figure out the puzzle of life for myself and maybe a few people see

something then they sweep their own porch.

We have a clean world or cool life.

That's the non-narcissistic side.

You want to hear the pre-Amish pure narcissist?

Tom: Yeah.

Tai: No, not pure narcissist.

I try to suppress that part.

[00:53:00] I call it the tombstone goal.

I think you should think about your tombstone and just reverse engineer it.

You go, what do I want my tombstone to say if I live the age of 100?

In order to get that, what did my life have to look by 90?

At age 90 to get that, what did it have to look like at age 80.

You work yourself backwards today.

My obituary goal, my tombstone, I like my tombstone to say, "Here lies a mad scientist."

The world needs more mad scientist.

Tom: [00:53:30] Meaning people that are trying new things?

Tai: Yeah.

Like I said, check out Muhammad Gandhi, check out Martin Luther King, Malcolm X.

Those were mad scientists.

Go through the adventure of life with that little mad scientist twinge in your eye and

that's all I got.

That's all I got.

Tom: Pretty good.

Tai, thanks for coming on the show.

That was fantastic.

Guys, these to me is the ultimate tale of somebody who was unhappy [00:54:00] with his

circumstances but didn't want to sit around and do nothing about it.

He knew exactly what he needed to do and that was to find out the answers.

He reaches out to his grandfather and says, "Grandpa, tell me what is the one that I needed

to do?

The one book I need to read, the one person I need to talk to that's going to give me

the shortcut that I need to get ahead?"

His grandfather thankfully wrote him back and said, "There is no shortcut.

You're going to need to find a lot of people to give you a lot of advice if you want to

get where you're going to go."

Tai put himself on a mission to get out and get mentors and long before [00:54:30] he

had any reason to be able to convince these guys to do it, he did by like he said earlier,

being willing to work for free, by willing to do more than anybody else and in the research,

the thing that I found most fascinating is years and years and years after working with

his first mentor, he is still singing his praises and he said to Tai, "Set the bar for

every apprentice that he's every had after and he still never seen anybody that had the

kind of drive and determination that Tai did.

I think that's what marks his cause.

He may think [00:55:00] of himself as a mad scientist but what I see is somebody running

systematic experiments to find out what works, always being willing to learn, always being

willing to fail, learn from that, try something new, get the result and ultimately you do

that on a long enough timeline with the willingness to always learn, grow and get better and you

get the man that has literally pioneered social media.

It's really, really incredible.

There's so much to learn from him but you have to be [00:55:30] willing to be humble

and to look at what you can learn from it.

That's it, guys.
