  1. “I don't ever let her read negative articles to me. You know, I don't want them. I don't care. I go, that's a person's opinion. You take a person's opinion, you write it down, it doesn't give it any more relevance. Like that person, you know, could have had that opinion in silence. They could have had it with some friends at dinner. They don't like me, whatever. I don't want to read it. I don't want to absorb it. I don't even know them. Especially if I'm not there. And especially if it's some biased and it's not an objective opinion of me, they have a narrative and they want to stick to that narrative and they want to write an article and they piece it all together, make you a piece of shit. And that's their prerogative. They're completely allowed to do that. But I don't, I shouldn't absorb that. I shouldn't take that in. You're not supposed to be taking in the opinion of the world.”

  2. “In that way. And then there's also going to be these disingenuous people who just use any kind of controversial topic or subject as an opportunity for them to get clicks or views.”

  3. “And one aspect of you. Know, but when you're reading it, it's so it's boiled down to this one thing, as if that one thing defines you totally. Like if you've made a mistake, if you've said something that you shouldn't have said, or if you said something and, you know, maybe you should have considered it more carefully giving the gravity of the situation. You know, that's just a part of being a person. And it's also part of being a person where you're communicating with things publicly in real time, thinking out loud, which is what we do. You know, it's complex. And most people don't do it. And you're going to have these, you're going to have genuine hot takes where people just see what you said and go, why did he say that? Fuck him. You know, he doesn't know anything about, he doesn't live in Ukraine. People that are going to have takes on that.”

  4. “Also, because you can't defend yourself because they're saying it and you're not there and you don't have any opportunity for a rebuttal. And if you do have a rebuttal, you're doing it publicly and you're opening it up to the whole world to chime in. And there's a general. Tendency that people have towards negativity when they're interacting with strangers online, especially about controversial subjects. And even if it's only 10% of the people, it's one out of 10. That's a lot. That's a lot of negativity when you're dealing with thousands and thousands of tweets.”

  5. “That gives you an opportunity to discuss those things and to say, to apologize if you feel the need to apologize, and also to just address it. And so people under that kind of pressure, it's an opportunity for them to understand how you think about things. Honestly, how you actually honestly think about things. And there's no more honesty that you get out of a person than when that person is under extreme duress. So I think in that sense, I mean, it's horrible to say that it's a benefit, that it's a good thing that it happened, but it was a benefit.”

  6. “And they are, in that sense, it's kind of the purest form of media because what you're doing is you're doing it without any fanfare. You're doing it without any, there's no executives looming. Would try to take me out. And when CNN would just be playing things over and over and back and forth, it was wild to watch. What was also wild to watch was people's responses. Because I gained two million subscribers during that time. Like the podcast never got bigger. It just kept growing and growing. It had never been bigger than it had been like at the end of all of it. It just made it bigger. And, you know, ultimately, when, if you've fucked up in the past or made mistakes or done something wrong.”

  7. “I took it was probably less than a gram every day. Yeah. And I did a lot of really hard working out. But also. I mean There's a great benefit to going through anything difficult. And if you're aware in advance and during anything that's going to happen, that's very difficult and troubling. The great benefit is it gives you an opportunity to grow, gives you an opportunity to express yourself under pressure, to show your character, to show who you truly are. And it gives you an opportunity to see how you handle a very difficult situation. It also was fascinating as a person that's involved in media, right? Because what we're doing right now is media, even though it seems like podcasts seem like we're just having a conversation, right?”

  8. “How you walk through the fire, you can walk through the fire complaining along the way, or you can walk through the fire. Create an example for everyone else so that the trials and tribulations of their own lives seem trivial because they were comparing themselves to the way you handle things or the way you handle things with grace and dignity and discipline can show other people that they can handle their own life this way. And there's beauty in that. There really is. And there's so much inspiration to be gathered from other people if you're a charitable person, if you're charitable and compassionate and you can look at people. Even people that I don't like, I try to look at the best aspects of how they live their life and recognize those aspects, admire them, give them credit for it. There's something that we can all get out of watching the way other people live their lives.”

  9. “Some people are just great at it. It's a thing that you learn how to do. And it's pleasing for other people to see. And that, I think, is where the art is.”

  10. “Yes, discipline is art. Yeah, I think it is because it's beautiful for me to see. When I see someone who's really truly disciplined, who like a David Goggin, someone who just like truly maximizes the grind, I feel like there's an art to that. And there's an art to kindness. Like there's people that are really kind and really sweet. And when I'm around them, it's beautiful. It's like there's an art to them.”

  11. “When he's training for these 240 mile runs, all the at the same time being like a father, a husband, having this full-time job, also being the best bow hunter on earth, lifting weights. It's like, how is, how does a person do this?”

  12. “I think there's something to that. Yeah, I think I call the way people live life art. Like I wrote a foreword to my friend Cameron Haynes' book, which is right now the number one selling audiobook in the world. And one of the things that I said was that practices in art that very few people appreciate. And it's the art of the maximized life in that the discipline that he displays in his life and through his practices and all the things that he does, it's so difficult to live the way he lives that for someone like me who understands it and knows what he's doing and appreciates it and appreciates how insanely difficult it is to have a full-time job and run ultra marathons get up at four o'clock in the morning, run a full marathon before work. Like that's the kind of shit that he does.”
