| 0:09.8 | My friends, I saw the most epic Bruce Lee documentary in the last couple of days. |
| 0:15.8 | Now, it's not a new documentary. I found it. I think it's on Hulu. It's called I Am Bruce Lee. Wow, there's so much I |
| 0:22.8 | didn't know about him. I know that, of course, he's a megastar, but I didn't know that he died at 32. |
| 0:28.3 | I didn't know all the barriers that he had to face, working in America, working in Hollywood, |
| 0:33.6 | fascinating story, fascinating person, really fascinating documentary. I have to say whether you're |
| 0:39.2 | into martial arts, whether you're into that kind of thing or not. I'm certainly not, |

| 1:37.9 | right? He said, have no style. Let that be your style. He famously said, be like water. The more rigid you are, |
| 1:47.4 | the less alive you are. Sticking within a style. It's like having limits. It's like having a |
| 1:52.2 | ceiling. And so Bruce Lee was really obsessed with letting go of methods. I did an episode not |
| 1:59.7 | long ago saying why I don't love Myers-Briggs, |
| 2:01.7 | for example. And to me, it's the same thing. It's putting yourself in a bucket. It's saying, |
| 2:06.4 | no, this is it. This is how you're defined. And so with martial arts, he was like, no, |
