Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with my producer Jason DeFilippo.

My friend Humble the Poet is a true hustler. He comes from a sick Indian immigrant community in Canada.

He was artistic, became a rapper, a clothing designer, and a writer. Basically every immigrant family's worst nightmare.

Today, we'll discuss how our upbringing can program us for success or failure later in life, and how being satisfied with less is

different than simply giving up on achieving more. We'll also set real growth and struggle apart from self-help fluff, which is so popular these days.

This is a topic you know I love. We'll also explore the idea that if we don't have a secure self-concept,

the media will be the one that builds it for you, and the media is probably the single worst place

to get a sense of self, but it is one that we find ourselves relying on more and more these days.

We'll learn how we can start to build a moat around our psyche so that we don't let in these types of negative or mismatched influences.

By the way, a lot of you wonder how I managed to book all these great guests and have such an amazing network.

Well, I'm teaching you how to do this for free.

insurance against life, work, and business mishaps, and money cannot buy it.

One of the primary foci of the show is to educate people and to help people learn critical thinking skills and mental

models and things like that. Instead of just telling them that they should feel good or trying to inspire them for five minutes

and then they go back to their old ways of thinking. So I love the idea like don't die down. Like look being dumb one can kill you,

but two, you could just stay down your whole life. Yeah, it's really not that hard to stay down your whole life.

A lot of people do it at these days, especially. Yeah. So I like the this shirt that employers you like know, like figure it out.

Learn something. Just pay attention. Like we're not I'm not here to judge you where you're at. Yeah.

If you're currently dumb fine fine. But now we're where are you deciding to hit? And that's kind of that was the idea.

Decide not to be dumb. Yeah, exactly. The side not to be it's a choice to being dumb is now with all this information for free.
