sending a tweet about how the world should be and nobody's doing anything

about it and that just that is just very much human nature we've gotten soft as a

culture yes you know I mean of course we've gotten soft as a culture in the

u.s. because the US has had an incredible two hundred year run right

like this is just what happens you know so as a culture you know I can't speak

for you know people that live in the Amazon River and I can't speak for you

know people that still live in Belarus but the American culture is soft and

that's a great thing that means there's been enormous amounts of prosperity but

let's not be naive I mean people literally complain when

somebody gives them the wrong amount of like extra cream in a Starbucks $6 coffee

my lack of interest in complaining is so high and when I watch what people

complain about it breaks my heart because they completely lack perspective

and i genuinely believe my happiness and optimism comes from my perspective even

in political unrest times like right now a lot of people very bent out of shape

but the reality is is that it just never been better to be a human being it's

that's just the truth that's just data that's that's reality

and yeah I mean it's just a very fun time to be alive

and I think the way people look at the world right now because it's such an

incredible time is actually the quickest tell to who they are if you think it

sucks but it's bad you have losing pessimistic DNA and if

you think it's awesome and phenomenal you have optimistic winning DNA and I

believe that to be true and so that's where we're at we're beating ourselves

up like everybody sucks that's something right like we all have shortcomings and

we all have strengths and for me it's like why don't we just audit that like

why don't we just look at it that way and be like alright well I'm good at

this but I'm not good at that like and then and then and then I only focus what I'm

good at right like I don't dwell that I can't fix shit around the house I call

somebody to fix him like I'm not like I'm not a man I don't give a fuck like

you know like like you know like I don't I don't get it like we all like I also

think it's awesome that I'm so emotionally stable and I'm the emotional

backbone of everybody is that what a dude's supposed to do like like these

cliches these stereotypes they're so silly I'm fully in love with myself but

I'm also fully in love with everybody else too right it's not like like it

goes both ways like I tell people to buy in to be that work for me it's cuz I buy

into them first like I don't need anybody to gain trust with me I it's

they're like I believe that the human race is so grossly underrated we are

good of course we have some bad there's fucking 7 billion of us but like when

you look at our net score it's bonkers shit like you know what you damage we

can be doing to each other on a hourly basis and we don't like we're still here

like we won were the Alpha being and we've figured out how to stay together

this is insane when you think about it and yet everybody wants to dwell on like

somebody said something mean

if you want to be an anomaly you have to act like one like people want all these

special things to happen but then they're acting like everybody else and

that gets into this Saturdays on in your 20s like or or just like taking risks or

things of that nature like there's anything they take away it's like look

like you're gonna only be so pretty you're only gonna be so smart like you

like there's there's things that are gonna be natural and there's things that

you can actually control I do believe and I don't know if I'm right or wrong I

don't but I do believe that work ethic is a taught behavior it's something you

do have more control over and you know what really sealed a deal for me getting

healthier I was 38 years old and didn't come natural to me like it didn't come

natural to me at all I hate the gym I hate him out I hate it I don't like it I

don't want to do it but I but I knew it was important and somewhere around

midway through being 38 years old I got serious I figured out my system I made

the financial commitment and I've won right and I'll never lose again because

the system was I needed to be accountable to another human being so it

was about Mike and now Jordan and whoever else is my trainer I'm doing it

almost weirdly more to not let them down I feel like there's a shift that can

make people work harder the big one that I push is you're gonna die like like if

your complaint like to me life is broken down into complaining and not so if

you're not complaining well then I've never I have no advice for you I'm

pumped like you did it like like I've friends who make $42,000 a year work

9:00 to 4:00 ，with an hour to have lunch and 45

minutes of YouTube and ten minutes of bullshitting and an hour of complete

waste of time in a meeting so the kind of working like 6:00 you know hours a

week right but they're pumped and-and-and they text

me these are highschool friends and they'll text me like how happy they are

to be the coach of their kids baseball team and you know like that's amazing

like that that seems very obvious to me like that's like that's right you know

which is super weird I'm actually nearly any yes you know like I it sounds cool

like in theory right grass is always greener right like far less pressure you

know like like all that time with my kids

booth that would be cool like there's just like all these things that I can

justify so to me but I have friends who have a hundred million dollars in the

bank because of Facebook's IPO who complain who are still hungry who want

to do even more who will complain to me because they

know I work a lot about no work-life balance and they don't get to spend

enough time with their family and I'm like you have a hundred million dollars

like you could stay home like you're in control like you don't complain about it

you've made that choice don't bullshit me

like you want to spend more time with your family spend more time with your

family

I'm trying to be very careful about what I'm saying versus what I'm doing because

that's how you get exposed and I don't mean like people calling you out and

being like you suck I mean to yourself I don't want to be exposed by myself it's

it's it's looking at yourself in the mirror and saying like am I doing this

right so to me there's so many people they're talking shit about how big of an

entrepreneur they're gonna be and how much they're gonna achieve and they

don't work on weekends you know I worked every Saturday of my 20s like and I talk

to 20 year old entrepreneurs every single day lately I've been saying to

them this Saturday you're gonna have more time off than I've had in my entire

20s on a Saturday so like before you tell me how you're gonna be bigger than

me start thinking about what you're actually doing

I'm careful to not give advice that I know is uniquely something that I was

gifted with like I'd how do I tell you that

oh here's how it actually works and it almost started happening it didn't

happen like I actually get goosebumps like actually like real heavy goosebumps

when I hear something that I know feels right what's the advice there hey Johnny

start getting goosebumps like I can't there's certain things that I can't talk

about because I know they're not practical they're intuitive to me

I plan to instill kindness until Achatz I plan on instilling perspective into my

kids I plan in instilling just being a good human being

I plan on making sure they don't use their parents wealth and micro fame and

leverage to impose them on any other person I was petrified of that if my

kids try to Punk their friends on my shit I'm gonna get the fuck out of them

like that just loser DNA you didn't do that we right like so like I'm not

obsessed with tactics I'm obsessed with religion so I have a lot of wealthy

friends at this point who think it's smart for them to sit first class but

the kids in coach it's a tactic they send their kids to Africa to build a

school for a week it's a tactic it's like my friends that love the

environment the number two sector in the world that is hurting the environment is

the fashion industry when you run the math of what's doing bad to the earth

it's the number two industry behind Gaza i I don't even want to say it cuz I'm

not sure if it's gas in oil the number two industry the sign of the fact is the

fashion industry so all my fancy friends who love the environment are they

willing to give up their fucking Louie bags let's say right so like I think

people talk shit so you let them sit coach and you went first class but you

went to you know Hawaii and eat it all the best pluck you can't pick and choose

to me it's binary so I don't wanna be a hypocrite so my big thing is like look

you need to be kind like mean mean is just non-negotiable in our family right

and then you just need to not be full of shit if you want to look at daddy's

mountain and you want to say what I did to my dad's and that was a big mountain

for an immigrant like wow dad did it right if you want to say I'm gonna climb

that and I'm gonna climb bigger awesome like I'm pumped I'm weirdly not cheering

for you cuz I'm I'm just a weirdly competitive dude this is actually

something I'm not proud of I'm comfortable saying this and I believe

this is a flaw but I don't want my kids to beat me I don't like I don't I

saying it I know this is where I get in trouble people will take one little clip

from one video interview and they're like you're a bad eye it's just my truth

I don't want to bullshit you guys like I'm that competitive

I just want them to be all in on them right like I don't need them to be an

entrepreneur I don't need them to make me proud they don't need to go to

Harvard they don't need to give shit they need to be themselves all in and

they need to be kind and I'm good

like everybody thinks their stuff is so good like everyday Gary my instagrams so

on fire soda awesome why is nobody like why am I not gaining

followers cuz it's not awesome

think we all think our stuff is the best and like I get that but yeah that would

be my advice only because that also is liberating me everything's about

breathing right like to me everything is about like take full ownership for

everything and then everything gets easy cuz then you're in control and then

learn how to love to lose I think that's how that's how entrepreneurship that's

how life is we all have losses and so I like losses I love adversity

I like the climb I like the chip on my shoulder I like when people like all I

knew and he's not that good that is like like I'm even weirdly scared as I

continue to ascend and I'm getting popular and wouldn't you say the

marketing leaning like if people start putting these words in front of my name

I'm like am I gonna sabotage myself to like recorrect this like I like

adversity so yeah all on me you know I enjoy losses now all of a sudden like

what you become completely invincible I feel invincible I really genuinely

outside of the health of myself and 20 people feel 100% invincible as a person

I know what my intent is I want to do good at nobody else's expense I'm far

from perfect we all are and so just easy it feels very light to

live life I'm just in a good mood

them home and I think modern-day parents and most parents do not do that

I think they focus on dumb shit like grades because they are insecure and

they want to put the bumper sticker that their kid went to you know Stanford like

it's real fucked up when you really think about what's actually happening so

much of it is misery loves company or people reflecting of what's inside of them

is the impact that you want to have on the world same thing that attracts so

many of millions of people to people that are selling bullshit those same

people are attracted to me and what I want to do is suffocate out all those

other people and become the Alpha of that entire world of people that are are

hoping and are desperate to look at me and what I want to do is inspire two 14

year old girls in Kansas City right now to build a billion dollar company on

having a bunch of employees hugging each other in a house I think that Steve Jobs

came along became an icon but the sad part of that narrative was he did not

treat his employees well he became an icon and the narrative became and he got

the most out of people by being a jerk and that became romanticized and a lot

of people in Silicon Valley today run companies worth their mean because they

think that's the right thing to do because they put Steve Jobs on a

pedestal I want my pedestal moment I want to

become that big and what I want to come from that is that kids that aren't even

born think that they can build a five billion

dollar company and be a great guy or great gal I want to build the biggest

building in town ever by just building the biggest building in town while I

think most people try to tear down everybody else's building so I think

positivity and good is practical advice to building an empire and I want to be

the poster child of the person that don't biggest baddest empire and did it
