Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is George Mack, he's a writer, business owner, and an entrepreneur.

If our mind is an operating system, ideas are the apps that we install to give us a greater understanding of the world.

George is one of my favorite thinkers and today we get to go through 16 of the best ideas

that we've both discovered since the last time that we spoke over three years ago.

Expect to learn whether optimism is actually a scam,

why it's so sexy to be cynical, why high agency people are the best ones to have in your life,

what is the most interesting question of all time,

the difference between treadmill friends and sofa friends,

why most people die at 25 but aren't buried until they're 75,

how to stop worrying about everyone else's opinions,

and much more. The OGs amongst you will remember George as

being one of the first episodes that went pretty big on YouTube and on audio and he has been an important part of my life for the last five years.

He is currently away living in Dubai, running this amazing agency and he's been in Austin with me for a full month. I love this guided bits. I love his ideas. I love the way he thinks. I love his positivity.

Yeah, there is so much to take away from this episode. If you enjoy it, please share it with a friend. There is so much in here I think that can help people to

reframe the way that they see the world and really upgrade their quality of life. So yeah, get ready for this one.
