| 0:00.0 | Yo, today's QOD is, you can't climb the ladder to success with your hands and your pockets. |
| 0:08.5 | Here we go. |
| 0:34.3 | Welcome back to the QOD of the day show. I'm your host, Sean Crox and the Sean Crox and |
| 0:39.1 | we got Arnold Schwarzenegger on the show today. He's going to share three of his rules for success. |
| 0:46.5 | He's going to talk about breaking the rules. He's going to talk about not being afraid to fail |
| 0:52.0 | and also how you're going to have to work your butt off. Before we get to Arnold, |
| 0:55.9 | got a quick story because whenever I think about Arnold, I think about his appearance on the |
| 1:01.4 | Howard Stern show a few years ago and they're having a conversation about death. He was genuinely |
| 1:08.1 | saying, I don't want to die. I just don't want to die. They're talking. He's like, Howard, |
| 1:17.0 | why would I want to die? Life is too cool. Look at the lives that we can build. Look at |

| 1:59.9 | and he did that, like that commitment to possibility. I can do whatever I want to do with my life. |
| 2:06.6 | So why would I want this thing to end that just really stands out to me? That's just, I don't know. |
| 2:12.5 | It's inspiring to me. I don't want to die. This place is way too cool. I wish more of us had that |
| 2:18.3 | mentality. Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming up. So this is rule number one. I wanted to become a champion. |
| 2:26.3 | I was on a mission. So rule number one is of course trust yourself no matter how and what anyone |
| 2:32.2 | else thinks. And of course, rule number two is break the rules. We have so many rules in life |
| 2:38.2 | about everything. I say break the rules, not the law, but break the rules. But why if it's a t-shirt? |
