I’ve built a billion dollar company and for as much success as I’ve seen in my life, I’ve seen triple the amount of failures. When it comes to doing hard things, getting absolutely and totally obsessed with what I am after and doing so with unrelenting focus day after day, I can outlast and outperform anyone.
You’re not going to achieve this level of success being weak and not absolutely sure about what you want to accomplish. Because I’ve been to the other side of the rainbow, I can tell you the pot of gold you’re after isn’t worth anything if you don’t prioritize chasing fulfillment first.
QUOTES:
“Go at it like a freak of nature.”
“You are average, but you can get better. Go f*cking learn.”
“When you go that hard everything will relent to your superior will.”
“The most terrifying thing about excuses it that they are valid.”
“I’m not smarter than the average person, but man, I am way harder to break.”
“It’s right when it moves you towards your goals and it’s wrong when it moves you away.”
“You need a maniacal focus, you need to be lasered in on one thing and you do it to the abstraction of everything else and you do it obsessively to the point where everything else in your life ideally is falling apart...”

Previous Episode
I’m excited for the second part of this episode with Tim Urban, the man that turned his blog into a global movement who is now bringing us a new framework through which to through complex societal issues. You’re possibly one of over 65 million people that watched Tim Urban’s legendary TedTalk, Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator.
We’re continuing this conversation where Tim introduces ideas from his book, What’s Our Problem?: A Self-Help Book for Societies, and this leads into the last part of this epic conversation unpacking the power games, why liberal games are a necessity and why the alternative to equal opportunity is possibly a disaster to steer clear from.
Check out Tim’s book, What’s Our Problem: https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Our-Problem-Self-Help-Societies-ebook/dp/B0BTJCTR58
QUOTES:
“The dictator and their little consortium have the power to do what they want, so they do and other people don't so they can't.”
“It's a very disempowering thing to teach kids that this country, because there is inequality, is inherently oppressive and I think it is just demotivating.”
“What concerns me about our current political environment is that we have so many hard problems ahead, big discussions we have to have as a species, and our society has to be able to have its wits about us. We have to have our wits about us going into this future where we're getting more godlike power and be wise about it because the stakes are going up.”

If you want to get ahead of the 99% of people that say they want to succeed but never actually do anything to succeed this episode is the juice you need to:
- Become mentally tougher. You’re going to adapt or die
- Say f*ck goals, learn how to want it bad enough to do what it takes on the days it sucks
- Avoid habits that stand between you and the good life
