Summary
Jack Spirko joins us to discuss Jack's new book, Laws of Life: Now Build the System for Your Life (the second of two in the series) and the worldview behind it: that nearly everyone has a marketable genius and the tools to build the life he wants, yet most people stay stuck -- complaining, fantasizing about ideas they never execute, and measuring success in the wrong terms. All this despite having more and (more extraordinary) tools at their fingertips than anyone who came before them. The conversation runs from reprogramming negative self-talk and monetizing your own expertise, through the difference between making and earning money, to a blunt case for ignoring your critics.

He's a, he's been around a while just like the old man here. And I want to talk to you in particular about what we've talked about his book, Laws of Life. He has a first book first book we talked about that but now we're going |
| 0:39.5 | to talk about book two which takes us to the next level and in fact we're going to start with |
| 0:44.5 | distinguishing between the two books but the second book is called the subtitle is now build the |
| 0:49.2 | system for your life so the point of this episode today first all, is to get you to buy Jack's book, |
| 0:55.5 | get both of them, laws of life. But this is not about current events. It's not about the |
| 1:01.2 | Middle East. It's not about anything like that. It's about the practical kinds of things |

| 1:28.0 | welcome back. Hey, Tom. Thanks for having me on. I'll try to live up to all that. |
| 1:32.6 | Well, let's start with what's the transition from the first to the second book? |

| 1:47.5 | since I host the survival podcast. |
| 1:50.1 | But my show's really always been about lifestyle design. |
| 1:53.1 | And, you know, when I look at my past, I'm an incredibly blessed person. |
| 1:56.9 | I feel so grateful for everything I had. |
| 1:59.3 | I thought about these things I used to throw out onto my audience all the time, and I'd be like, Spirico's Laws of Life number 12, right, or whatever. And that actually came from the movie Cocktail. Remember the guy had all these laws, right? The guy that was like the teacher. It was just a joke, but it was actually the laws were real. the Spirit Goals laws of life were just, you know, kind of this play on things. And when I sat down and write the book, I'm like, why don't I write about that? So I came up with like this like 32 laws that I've based my life on.
