“It's kind of reinforces the idea that you're here to live your life and that even when people are trying to Influence you or Comment on the decisions that you make for your life, you should have the strength to stick by it. Living your life the way you want to live it, that there's one immutable truth for you and it doesn't apply to everyone. And so people who People who Frown upon Or judge the way that you live because it's not, air quotes, conventional, their opinion. Should not be something that Impacts the choices that you make”

“It's easy in the world to live after the world's opinion. It's easy in solitude to live after your own. The great man is who, in the midst of the world, keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

“I found that the writing was awesome. Bret Easton Ellis was the author of that and several other books who have like intertwined characters. He's a New England prep school guy and so a lot of like the stories and a lot of the visuals rang true for me and anyone who can write four pages of prose on like a Huey Lewis album. I mean kudos to you. And I also would say no one will do this, but I would at some point read as much of one of the big three religious texts as possible. It really gives you perspective. There are so many overlapping stories of religious texts and in the way that they're written gives you a unique perspective on different people throughout the world. And, you know, if you're a Roman Catholic, maybe don't read the Bible, read one of the other texts. And that would be an interesting take.”

“You know, existential authors and they're all great. But at the time, a lot of it has to do with timing. And when I read self-reliance and it was about the individual that was really good and it made, it was impactful. There's also a book called Jonathan Livingston Siegel by Richard Bach, I think. It's kind of along the same lines. It's about this Siegel who wants to break conformity and learn to fly and do all these other great things. And so it's a very short read. So if people are interested in that, that's good. The book, which I was lucky enough to read before the movie ever even came out, which is just a pleasure of mine. It was a American psycho. Just from a writing standpoint.”

“I would say probably the thing I read isn't one of Emerson's essays that I read at a, you know, point in my life where I needed that type of thing. And I read self-reliance. And, you know, he's got a ton of good essays, but I thought self-reliance was probably the most impactful to me. You know, I've read later in life like a handful of.”

“No, to a degree, you're right. I think like a big thing for me was putting ads on for our jujitsu online curriculum. That was a big thing for me because for several reasons in the climate of everyone under the sun having a jiu-jitsu tutorial online and social media, not social media necessarily, but forums specifically that critique and shit the bed. One thing I have not done that I've thought about doing and probably you're right in your analysis of it is I've not gone the way that I do see you on things like Reddit and say, hey, Reddit, I'm doing this. Like I could easily go to Reddit and say, hey, Reddit, I got this website up. Here's a sample video, whatever the fuck people do on there. But yeah, you're right. I haven't done that. And part of it might be because I. I know also”

“We're different people, and I have such an easier time saying fuck off to everybody. And that's a liberating thing, but it also can keep me from achieving the thing that I want to achieve because I'm so flippant with opinions that I don't listen to them and let them direct me when they should. There's a balance.”

“I don't have a destination, but I want to. Want to see it to its end, whether that's. Somewhere of its own volition, or it takes on a new life at some point, and then I know how to drive it where it needs to go. I think. The advice I have for both of us is I think I need to No, I don't think so. I think for you, I see an inner turmoil. I see a storm that bruises in you because I feel like there's a concern for what you're saying and is it going to get? lead to negative feelings towards you or the thing that you're doing. And I feel like”

“That kind of wild. Right, right, right. And then my buddy Dave, he came on, you know, because I love music and I wanted to talk a lot about music and he's one of the most knowledgeable people about music that I know and he's got a restaurant coming up. And I thought my buddy Mark Clem being an endurance athlete, like when you hear some of the things, I didn't even know these things existed that this fucking kid did. He's out of his mind. And, you know, I think Sean and I will have probably the most intellectual conversation that I'll have had on my podcast to date. And so there's a little bit of alternating there, but, you know, I did it that way so that.”

“Yeah. And what I learned listening back on that is like I learned for myself about, I wasn't asking the next level questions to really draw out great answers. And part of it is, I, You're simultaneously hanging out with a bro, but also I was trying to learn something and I didn't learn what I wanted to learn. And that's my fault because I didn't ask the questions. He's an expert in that field. He doesn't know that I'm an absolute dipshit when it comes to that stuff. And so I didn't do a good job. And if I don't know it, that means the thing I was trying to tease out of him, no one who was going to listen is going to learn that either. So I learned that. Then I had the one with Soapon, which I thought was pretty good.”

“Exciting. That's interesting. I did it in a way where I knew Paul was going to be wild and we might get a little out of control and like have some technical hiccups along the way. And then my friend Jake, who's a CEO of a pharmaceutical company, that was very timely because, you know, he was able to speak to vaccines. And that was kind of.”

“So I started with friends who I thought could handle it and who also are just really interesting people. And I did it so that I could also establish a level of comfort because it was a new thing for me. And I knew that they wouldn't really give a shit what I was doing and be like, hey, this is cool. I'm going over JC's house. We're going to drink some tequila and talk shit. There's just going to be a microphone there this time.”

“Totally, totally. And so he's going to come back on and he'll be more comfortable with it and it'll probably be awesome because he's a great person to talk to. I had my friend Dave on who's a restaurateur and a musician. That one will be released pretty soon. But yesterday I had a guy on who you might really enjoy listening to who's a friend of mine. His name's Mark Clem. He's an endurance athlete and he's been compared he's been called the white Dave Goggins. And he talks about like those comparisons and what he hates about it and the various events and stuff. And he's just a guy who's just always kind of like natural and like I knew he'd be great to get on the podcast.”

“So the simple answer is the people that I selected are both interesting and I thought would be good at talking. But then I noticed the thing you just mentioned. My buddy Paul did the first one. And Paul's a wild man. And if you went out with Paul, he can talk about a bazillion topics to a certain Level of depth, right? And he's got a good understanding and he's got a unique perspective on a lot of things. And I think he was the first guy I invited on my podcast. And it was almost like. He was on a little bit less than natural about it. And then by the time he loosened up with some drinks, he was, it just, we were all faced.”

“Especially when you have a personal relationship with the person that you're talking to, rather than trying to put some ideas on display for other people to hear and maybe talk about, you wind up just having like a conversation with your bro about inside jokes and things like that. And it's like, it's not that interesting. No one wants to like watch, you know, go to a bar and watch two people at the sitting there getting drunk and talking to each other is different than listening to like strong discourse. Yeah.”

“Because One of the things I'm learning is Sometimes you have great conversations when you're drunk, and sometimes you don't. Like I was, I went into it with the right drunk edit sober mentality. Hemingway, yes. But turns out that, uh, Sometimes you don't have that much to edit when you're superfaced. And so I've been scaling that back a little bit.”

“Yeah, definitely there's that. I just felt like. You know, when it's midnight and you're in the bar and you get the sense that, you know, the bar is going to close in 90 minutes and you think, you know, not enough people have seen me yet. And maybe we should go to another bar so more people can see me. Yeah. I feel like podcasting is like that for me. Not enough people have heard my thoughts. And I feel like my mom raised me to be a giver. She didn't want me to be selfish.”

“But anyway, I thought it was like, oh, I should probably increase a little bit my online presence and what would be a way to do that that would be fun for me and entertaining. And I thought, well, a lot of people, yourself.”

“And so I thought that that would be one of the ways in which I could increase, like I came to the conclusion that. With the lockdown and potential future lockdowns, in order to pay my mortgage and my bar tab and my grubhub's out of control, that I would need to find ancillary ways to.”

“I think that one of the things that COVID did when we're all kind of in lockdown was. A business owner, it made me take stock of what's the future of brick and mortar businesses. I've always been reluctant to be an online presence in any way just because it's not my thing because I believe that I'm a force of nature and people need to experience me, right?”

“Right. And of course, people want to be successful, but do they want it enough to do the work? I don't think they do. I think the easy thing to do is to create an outward-facing persona of the person who really wants it. And you get the same reward from a lot of people as the person who actually is successful. Very few people differentiate from the person who has found success and the person who's showing you how they're trying to get success on social media. People see that as the same.”

“But why is it continuum? I'm sorry to interrupt you, but let's take a person who's overweight. You not think that person wants to be skinny? Of course they want to be skinny, they just don't want it enough to put the pizza or the pie down and go to the gym. They want it, but they want it to be easy. Of course, they want to be skinny.”

“I think on social media, if you put your stuff out there, whatever your stuff is, your content, your views, or whatever, you let the chips fall where they may, like that's a different thing than being like, I'm going to tweak what I normally might say and put it up this way because I want these people to like it. And in terms, I also think I have a different viewpoint than you do on people wanting to be successful. I actually don't think that many people want to be successful. I think people want to have the appearance of wanting to be successful. to be successful takes a shitload of work. And most people don't want to put that work in. So they craft this persona of a person who's trying really hard but just can't catch the break or, you know, these motherfuckers with getting back on my grind. You've never been on a grind. You've been on the couch.”

“What's the group I can pander to the best to get the most likes? Is it the positivity motivated crowd? Is it the woe was me crowd? Like, what is it? Who's going to give me the most likes? That's what I'll do.”

“The other side works too. I think there's also the people who are on social media like fronting like there are these positive figures and like, you know, going to the gym, like whatever it is, the positivity that they spew out. But in real life, they're the most negative fucks you've ever met in your life and they're just so full of crap. And it's just people playing to an audience. It's like you said, like, they. Like a politician sometimes, like a politician wakes up one day and they decide who's the group I can pander to the best to get the most likes equals votes. And it's the same thing on social media. People wake up and whether it's conscious or not.”

“Think particularly on social media, they're the most fragile Would you be doing all the things you're doing? What would you be doing if you weren't If you weren't podcasting and posting the things you do on social media, what would you be doing? You'd probably be much the same guy. But I think that on social media, the fragile ego people, what you see on social media is not what they'd be doing without social media. Does that make any sense? Like you're probably, your mission is probably somewhat congruent, your path. You're just utilizing social media. But I think a lot of people, social media has changed their path, and now they're doing something totally. foreign to them And they're only able to do it maybe because of social media. I think you focus.”

“When you get a like on content you put out that that like perhaps came from someone who normally doesn't like your content but like you've just changed their mind on something or you you've turned them around on it I tend to think that when I get likes on social media those are just the people that like all my shit no matter what I say like they probably don't even read it like I could you know put the most preposterous thing up there and you're still going to get a handful of the same exact likes”

“Whatever, man. Or a video, a story about, oh, this is what happened to me and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Does that actually help them work it out? Or does it just create more noise and more static on how to get to the root of the problem and learn about themselves?”

“Is very rarely in line with how you really are or how you see yourself. And I mean, I can remember being like a 13-year-old kid and like when you go through a bunch of, you know, weird 13-year-old kid shit, like sitting in my room, like turning a red light on and listening to like a sad record and like, you know, trying to figure out what's going on inside. Sometimes you like it, sometimes you don't like it. But I feel like those experiences are lost on kids constantly connected to a phone. And like, you know, I don't know what the remedy for those situations is nowadays. Like, I don't know. Do they make a TikTok video? Do they blog about it? Do they, you know, make a video or a...”

“I never I was the last person I knew to get a cell phone. I was so anti all that stuff because I just felt like. Want to be a part of it? I did not want to be a part of it. I joined the underground forum about MMA in 2000 or 2001 when I first started training. I think right at the tail end I got a MySpace, but I didn't have any of that stuff and I didn't want any of it. I don't know why. It just was not into it. I felt like what are the good things that are going to come out of it? I'm going to get my package in two days instead of four days. Does that make my life better?”

“Like it's a much different outlook. And sure, the virtual world that's on the horizon, I'm sure it's got benefits and will help people, but is it going to help the things that you find valuable? Like, was it going to help commerce? Okay, sure. Is that the thing you find the most valuable? Is it going to help communication? Well, it'll help disseminating information. Is it going to help explain the information you're disseminating? Probably not. Is it going to hinder interpersonal communication? Absolutely. And those are things I find valuable. interpersonal communication, talking to people like it saddens me when I go into a restaurant and there's five-year-old kids who like, you know, slamming away on an iPad and can't make eye contact with anybody or teenagers who don't say please and thank you when they order from the waitress like that to me is wrong that shit's wrong and I don't know this for a fact but I do attribute that to you know using technology as a crutch when we're raising”

Your focus, everything shifts and just don't want to do that.

“No, but I wouldn't say that five generations from now that won't be true. I guess I think of it really selfishly. I'm a big believer that when your time here on earth is over. The overwhelmingly vast majority of people will be forgotten within 12 calendar months. People with no family will be forgotten sooner. And so I don't give a lot of thought to what will happen to Earth or mankind when I'm gone. I give more thought to maximizing my time here now. And I want to do it in a way where I don't. I'm not overtly hindering the future of civilization or humankind, but I'm definitely taking a me first approach to how I live on Earth.”

“A lot of times American soldiers will go to war because that's what they're told to do and they might maybe they disagree with the orders and maybe they agree with the orders. But I get a sense that people in the Middle East fighting all believe in what they're fighting for. It's not a thing where they're told to go do it. I believe they really believe that what they're doing is the right thing and they're defending some sort of principle.”
