2:01 It's fuel for people. You got to ask for it. It's only going to make it easier. I got a hell of a life that I've lived back and forth, and through it all that what gives them a better view of the landscape yeah especially when someone like you you almost talk about these successes and talk about the lessons that you've learned, man, that's fuel for folks in a way that nothing else is because it's there's a lot of people that are bullshitting online

5:23 guys kind of fucking selling me something. where we're trying to cure financial I'm telling you how I fucked off money and I'm telling you what I didn't know. It's not until maybe college and on the later side of it that you're with people that are getting jobs in the future I said, that's what I am. that share the same stories because I really got knowledge about it.

8:57 It wasn't until I came out that door that I saw those monsters that I knew the other monsters weren't as bad in door number two. But door them from walking into those doors? And that's what's I think that's what life should be about. it's whomever. well that means that our Right. Now that I'm over here, that means there's more. You're trying to make it.

11:51 I just told somebody this story. He was hosting. supposed to be it. This is my big I was ready.

22:32 Or you can soak some of that shit up. now that I'm at a point where I'm actually what are we fucking using Is that an investment? Do you feel like everybody drinks Starbucks? We drink it all the time. You to open more stores? How do you feel? This is a thing that I watch. And this is a thing that I My question is, why don't most of us? yeah you played the game for how many years joe how many years you had your podcast 11 11 years

26:36 And when tomorrow hit, it had to hit correctly because Joe never not did the work on a day-to-day basis to prepare for tomorrow. I just keep doing it. I put almost all my thinking into just doing the thing the best way that I can do it. Yeah, that's always there. The grind is like you've got to be there every day. you know you don't want to fuck every day take a couple days off want it

29:48 As you're trying to come up, yeah. using that job for something to get to something. of how to escape the thing that you hate You don't want to go back to those terrible jobs where you had to get up and be uninspired You're going to get up and do things you love easier. That's why you gotta get through it. What do you talk about? What do you talk about?

Or my dad was rich, and I have a trust fund, and I never have to work ever. New level. And I'm, all right, this is a little discouraging. Is there any way my senses, tennis ball, can I be squeezing? But, you know, it's okay if that's what you want to do.

34:07 But the game is to be better. If I can keep beating myself, pause, if I can keep beating myself pause if I can keep doing that then that means that I'm in a It's in my head. ready for what kevin i don't fucking know ready to be better than you were before i don't know I fractured my my spine right and it's from my it's either from And what happens is they had to fuse my spine.

37:06 Do they take the disc material out and compress it But what I do know is that this thing that's my spine has eight screws and these eight screws now hold it together. I got my body to get accustomed to it, and I got flexibility. You know, the human body is amazing. mean they said you're literally talking about this much doctor look me in the eyes you're lucky to be walking you're this much if your core wasn't in

43:48 That's what I would say to people out there. Be happy while you're playing it. The fucking game. I think it may be, but maybe, you know, the game, the game of life, that's something, That's the way to look at it. from your back injury. How About to get into nine. I'm up to running again. I got physical therapy. I'm getting older. Your cardio changes, road machines.

47:37 So it's all about looking good with the body fat? it and see if there's benefits that work for you i stopped eating red meat so much because i learned and I started trying the Beyond Meat but they're not good for you i it's all oils it's all this plant-based oils and it's all processed and weird. You're obviously very healthy. I'm dozing and I'm crashing.

51:11 it's one of those things where I was like okay this is a pattern that I fell into it's been I know people that are on a carnivore diet, and they're in the healthiest shape they've Psoriasis is gone. Yeah. And I think that's the biggest misconception right there is no rule to what you want to do for you. asian woman and i don't know if that's this how he feels or like he's had some weird feelings about

53:41 Do you want to know? He's that guy. It's that light. life differently Because I never had to see that house again. Like what the fuck? You moved for a minute like, nah, I got this. It's literally that. I've been on the other side. Yeah. Really? I couldn't even do that. Really? Oh, hey, come here. And I had the walker. There was, there's times like if this is the remote control and I'm in the bed and I just want to get to the control.

59:24 My son, he was like, I'm here, Dad. They were up. none of it none of it was fucking in there it's also gotta make you feel great that there's that Wow. him the perception because you don't i don't want you to worry. Just accept that pain. rather just feel the pain i'm not looking for it that bad. I don't like that look. I don't want to look like that.

1:03:41 So whatever the reasons to escape that are for you and from you you know interesting things through other people's eyes.
