Welcome to the Wabi-Sabi podcast. This is episode number 157. Hey, I have been on set doing what I told you guys I would do shooting a cooking show. I wrote it, I pitched it, I sold it, and now we're shooting it. So hopefully I'll be able to share this with you by next month in May.

If you haven't already given this podcast a five-star review, please I have to keep going with your reviews.

Write one today. It will take you about two minutes or less. And you do it on audible, Spotify, and iTunes, Apple.

Thank you guys for your continuous support on the Wabi-Sabby pod. I wanted to let you all know today

that moving things forward and taking action is the name of the game. If you want to see change in the world or if you want to

be the change in this world, then you have to do the work. I highly recommend to each of you to take a

moment today to find a place in your heart that will set you in the right mind state so that you can become the best

version of yourself. These are a few things that I've done over the past few months to help me to get

to the next fucking level. And I don't fuck around and I don't play, as you guys know. Excuse

the language, but it has been a fucking wild ride since I got back to Brooklyn.

Okay, first and foremost, you're going to have to learn how to control your anxiety and

depression. And I don't mean fully control it because there's no way that we're ever going to

be able to turn our emotions on and off, like a toolbox or a toolkit or a

computer. But I think what we can see is I know I get really excited when I do the Today Show

where I shoot a commercial with Dan Levy or I host Anne Hathaway at Chastato events. And then I sort of

have gold medal syndrome.

You can see on my substack that I wrote immediately after one of my last books came out,

that I had horrible depression after I finished the project spirited on Audible. And it was true.

I normally don't write about how sad I get after I complete big projects, but this was

something for me to be honest with you about.

I've also noticed the state of the world is just such shit.

I'm going to talk about this as well.
