Just the fact that there are, in this case, I don't know, 100 people here, or if you're in a stage of 30 or 1000 or 10,000,

all the attention is focused on you, and just simply due to the attention structure, yes, you rise in steps.

Do people underestimate status, and what's a good way for people to understand status from your evolutionary psychologist?

That's an interesting and complicated question, but short answers, we evolved in small groups, and all groups have status hierarchies.

It's something that people size each other up. I mean, as early as three years old, you get a very brief interaction and people immediately size each up in terms of status.

So all groups have status hierarchies, despite some ideologies that try to create systems that have no status, never works.

And from an evolutionary perspective, reproductively relevant resources always accrue to those who are higher in status.

So what's an example, like a practical example of mating?

Desirable mates, or if you're in the short term mating, were numerous mates, accrue to people who are higher in status.

So a guy like Justin Bieber is like high status, or Drake, let's take.

So you're saying he has more access to girls that would want to date him?

Absolutely, and it's more than that. So that's one example, but also healthcare, desirable goods, desirable allies.

So the higher you are in status, you become a, it's like in the mating game, just why people are attracted to high mate value, attractive people.

They also want to be friends and allies with people who are high in status, because there are what economists call externalities, positive externalities, flow to allies of the high status people.

So what he's saying is for your business, everybody here knows the power of networking, right?

For example, I met Alex Merr, and it's been a very powerful, actually how you call it, an alliance between two allies.

Mentorbox makes almost a million bucks a month, and I do total work of maybe an hour a month, and I own 50% of the company, or little less.

We have a 2% to investors, but I own 48 plus percent, and I do know work.

So how did I get Alex as an ally?

I was speaking at a conference, we were both on stage.

Stage is like a powerful status symbol.

You know, you go and you watch somebody and all of a sudden if somebody's on stage.
