Summary

In today’s episode, I break down how daily practice shapes long-term success and why consistent behavior outperforms occasional pushes. I explain the human experience through time, intention, and the lessons our bodies are built to teach us. I share how separating each day into non-negotiable and circumstantial behavior helps me stay aligned with my goals, reduce resistance, and avoid doubling down on the habits that hold me back. I talk about using uncertainty as fuel, managing ego-driven reactions, and building a life rooted in recovery, health, family, faith, and purposeful action. It’s a simple framework that turns small commitments into exponential results.

0:04.6	it's not that big of a mission. It's not that big of a mission when you can find a thousand
0:09.7	people like the people here today, like Dylan and Craig and my daughter today. I dreamed about
0:16.3	being the warm-up act for Craig. Then I dreamed about being the warm-up act for Dylan. And then now today being the warm-up act for Craig, then I dreamed about being the warm-up act for Dylan,

0:38.9	in their human experience as well with that money. Notice that money is still very important
0:44.5	to me. It's just not my identity. But I've never met anyone in the world who makes a lot of
0:51.0	money and helps a lot of people with that money and has a lot of fun with
0:55.6	that money that isn't happy. And my mission is to make the world a happy place. That just takes
1:02.2	a thousand people to empower a thousand people to empower a thousand people, a thousand times
1:07.0	a thousand a million, a million times a thousands of billion. That's one-eighth of the
1:11.4	world. That's a collective consciousness. One particle of light overcomes a million particles of
1:17.1	darkness. And as humbly as I can stand in front of me today, I'm going to change the world
1:22.2	because of you guys. So I want to thank all of you for allowing me to be the warm-up act today.
1:31.8	I certainly appreciate it.
1:33.7	But I'm going to talk about something that hopefully will empower you to change your life to be
1:38.0	happy.
1:38.6	And it's aligned with the 1% that we're talking about.
