And those stories that you're telling yourself about why you can't do things are mostly

just reflections of your parents' failures that were imparted into you.

And it's not that your parents are malicious, it's not that they're evil, it's not that

they're trying to make you fail.

It's just they don't know any better.

And they were, they're doing their best job at loving you for the most part. And they just don't have a playbook for this shit, you know? And they don't know that you can do anything. Because when you're a kid, dude, we're all like, we could do anything. And it's just the external world that convinces us that we can't. And once you unplug yourself and unprogram yourself from that way of thinking, like you have and like I have and like people that are listening to this, you're in the process of it.

Once you do it, you realize that the scariest thing that you can do, the number one way that you can fail is creating a vision that's too small.

All right, guys, welcome to another episode of the port today. I got someone who I've actually seen three times now in the last three weeks. I was just speaking at his event down in Cancun, the second time on a podcast, and he's coming to a Lume Retreat. I got my man, Brian Lubin, back in the building. Let's go, Brian. How are we feeling today? Feeling good, man. We're feeling international. You're going international, baby. You got my man Brian Lubin back in the building. Let's go, Brian. How we feeling today?

Feeling good, man. We're feeling international. You got a new girlfriend too? Got a new girlfriend. Wifed up, wiped up. Plain tickets booked, man. We booked him busy over here, man. I love it. It's a good time. We're blessed. We're abundant. Too blessed to be stressed, bro. And I cannot wait to meet her.

Yeah.

We did a little dinner last night at Anime.

It was good to catch. We're blessed, we're abundant. Too blessed to be stressed, bro. And I cannot wait to meet her.

Yeah. We did a little dinner last night at anime. It was good to catch up, but I'm stoked that you're coming down in Tulum. It's going to be a hell of event. You inspire me to throw our retreat down in Tulum, just so you know. Let's go, man. We got some expectations. High expectations, man. High expectations. Again, man, that's the point.

Like, that's why I think

the online course market is going completely dry up over the next couple of years. I think all the

money and everybody that knows really what they're doing, like a smart, educated consumer,

they're all going to go for the in-person mastermind. I think like the entire market,

all of the economics for everything, it's going to go with more AI, with more virtual reality. I think we're actually going to make a shift back to more in-person. So I think concerts, like in-person events, in-person networking, in-person meetups, and in-person events, in-person events in particular like this, because it's like, it's the energy that you're getting while you're actually in the room we've thrown five events and now we just we're planning our sixth right now and so it's not only the energy from being in person but it's those hot tub conversations it's those conversations at the bar it's like somebody makes a comment and you're like whoa like what are you doing in your business is that just that. It's that contact. And then that's what gets the ideas going. That's what gets the juices flowing. I agree, man. The in-person stuff is where it's at. It's the networking opportunities, the partnership opportunities. And often, like, one good nugget would be $100,000 of value. Two good nuggets is $200,000 of value.

The value you get at these events is insane.

And I always say surround yourself with winners. Quickest way to level up your life. Surround yourself with winners. What's the quote that you said, don't go off of your dreams, go off of people who's... Stop listening to people closest to you. And often that's friends, family members, coworkers, is people that have never done the thing that you're looking to do

and start listening to people closest to your dreams.

Boom.
