| 0:00.0 | I'm happiest when I'm on the farm. I make the most money when I'm in a U.S. city and have the best social life when I'm in Sweden, Denmark, Scandinavia. |
| 0:07.4 | I'm on the farm right now. Getting ready to head to Europe. It's a nice time spreading turkey litter over there. |
| 0:13.7 | We just made hay, got oats and wheat, planting corn. So let me explain this because one of the most common questions I guess, like, Ty, best place in the world to live. |
| 0:21.1 | And my answer is, you'll never find it all in one place. So make enough money, you can be in a |
| 0:25.8 | couple different places because the whole life that we live is one of tradeoffs. You make tradeoffs. |
| 0:31.1 | When I'm in a big U.S. city, my happiness goes down because it's competitive, you know, as doggy dog is a shark world, but I made more money. |
| 0:39.7 | That's the trade-off. |
| 0:40.9 | One of the things Dr. David Busch taught me, that's the most profound yet simple concept that |
| 0:46.2 | nobody really thinks about or talks about it is the concept of life has trade-offs. |
| 0:50.4 | So we always think in black and white, we're taught that through morality. |
| 0:54.4 | Everything's black and white. Where's the best? People say, Tar, what's the best business book? I'm like, if there |
| 0:59.0 | was one business book that you could just read and become rich, then everybody be rich because it's |
| 1:03.9 | easy to read just one book. The truth is, there's tradeoffs to reading. There's some books that are |
| 1:10.5 | great and teach you one thing, but they omit |
| 1:12.6 | other things. A lot of business omits the other parts of life. Teach you how to make money, but doesn't |
| 1:17.9 | teach you how to be happier, doesn't teach you how to have friends, family romance, or don't |
| 1:23.2 | teach you I'll be healthy. So when I think about cities, the best cities to live in, I think in the four |
| 1:29.0 | pillars of the good life. That's what I've been teaching for more than 15 years. Not just how to |
| 1:33.6 | make money, but how to find health, well, love happiness. All four in proper balance and proportion |
| 1:38.6 | ratios. And so I tried to do the thing that you might be trying to do. It's like, what's the one place I can live and I get it all? |
| 1:47.2 | And I'm like, brother, you ain't going to get it all in one place. |
| 1:50.1 | So it's okay to live in just one place. |
