Sometimes people tell me, oh, I feel depressed, I feel unhappy, it's a dick thing to think or say,

but like I just think in my mind, like, are you exercising, are you eating well, and are you sleeping?

If the answer is yes to all of those, then I would say like, okay, great, like let's discuss next things, like, but if the answer is no to any of those, I would just say, just start there.

I do think that's like the foundational start.

What is up, you sexy bastards?

It is your boy banana smoothie,

aka Rabbi Can't Lose, aka, you know a Kagan.

In today's episode, I talked to my super impressive

and amazing friend Eric Alabest.

He is the co-founder and CEO of Chess.

Eric didn't start out as of chess prodigy or anything like that.

He actually started out teaching chess in the Bay Area and that turned into him actually selling

chess boards and then he turned into creating chess. Com which is the number one

chess related site in the world with over 50 million members 8 million games I think they have over

a hundred people work in there I got to meet him in the Bay Area we love playing disc golf

together and he is such a fascinating great person if you've ever

want to learn about the best way to start taking action and the components of having a great day you're going to love this episode

In this conversation there's three gigantic things number one the importance of suffering sometimes but not every day

Number two why don't need a grand vision to succeed?

And three, how Twitch and Queens Gambit made Chess cool again. I think you all know that.

Enjoy those three things, plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
