| 0:00.0 | But when I hear your story every time when you talk about your mom and about losing everything again, |
| 0:26.6 | and so what I love working with you is that idea of we can build it, but we can lose it. What was it, what was the number one skill that you had found the first time that helped you rebuild it so quickly after you lost it? Yeah. Because it's not so much starting over because you had a skill system, right? You know, I think distinguishing the fact that I'm really good at making money. And so coming to the realization that I always made money, I made money as a kid hustling, then after law school made money, I was good at making money. And so when I came to the realization, |
| 0:32.6 | that wasn't the problem that what I really needed was help in that humility statement of what I |
| 0:40.4 | needed was to remind myself every day you're either humble or you're about to be because if you're |
| 0:44.6 | really good at making money and making money is easy it's really easy not to be humble when everybody |
| 0:50.1 | around you's like oh of course Dave Meltzer's rich. He's minus. Everything he touches |
| 0:54.9 | turned to gold. He's always making money. It's bullshit. So, you know, the idea of incorporating |
| 1:01.1 | humility into, okay, I'm good at making money. I know what I'm good at. Now, be humble and |
| 1:07.2 | ask for help. I mean, that's exactly why those two guys, not everybody was in that diamond lunch, but I seriously look for the teams I'm playing on. So like I have my biggest team is |
| 1:18.0 | my health team because that's the most important thing to me. And I go with God when it comes |
| 1:21.7 | to health. So I think God tells us, okay, you're here, you get a body, the body starts when the heart starts |
| 1:28.4 | and it stops when the heart stops. I'm going to divide your experience, human experience, |
| 1:33.2 | into 24-hour increments. I'm going to guarantee you 24 hours every day of your life, |
| 1:38.4 | except for the last day. I'll cheat you the last day. So according to that, your mission is to learn lessons. In order |
| 1:45.6 | to learn lessons, you're going to need to know what you have to do to keep your heart beating. |
| 1:49.9 | Well, it's not rocket science, although trillions of dollars now are made trying to pretend like |
| 1:54.9 | it's rocket science, kind of like the real estate and tax tips that those guys know, |
| 1:58.7 | those teams I play on. I play on a big health team. |
| 2:01.4 | So number one, God says what? If you don't breathe, I'm going to stop your heart. So I learn and make a priority in my life, how do I breathe? He says, if you don't eat, I'm going to stop your heart. So I have a team to help me eat right. Drink. He says, If you don't drink, I'm going to stop your heart. |
| 2:18.8 | So I make that the priority and said, okay, God, I get this whole journey. I'm here to learn lessons, but I got to be healthy to learn them to help other people. So I'm going to drink right. Then what does he say? Sleep. You don't sleep. I'm going to stop your heart. How many of you go to bed at night and wake up tired in the |
| 2:34.7 | morning? That is ridiculous. I have a sleep coach for 18 years. I study sleep. I sleep to recover, |
| 2:42.0 | which is proven to make my performance better and access information from God. It might sound |
