Here's our first guest.

Welcome back, everybody.

Well, let's talk about love today. Let's talk about a little love. I'm so excited for today. So many people knew that this man was coming on, and they're like, ask him this, ask him that, ask him this. I'll try to get the questions in for you guys, all right? But I got a lot of my own, too. So Hummel, the poet is with me here today. Noah's can worse saying, but he said if I said his name correctly, which I think I did, that I've worked too hard to prepare for the interview. So we're going to call him humble. Humble the poets here today. Our mutual friend, Lewis Howes was just with us and he said, not only is he a poet, but his life is poetry. So I can't wait to ask him a bunch of questions about the topic of love.

He's got a book out called How to Be Love, D, both individually and the plural.

Simple truths for going easier on yourself, embracing imperfection, and loving your way to a better life.

Man, do I need to know more about this? So humble the poet, welcome, brother. Thank you so much for having me. Your work is so good. Oh, I appreciate it. And what I love about the way you wrote this book is it's a bunch of very short, easy to understand chapters so you can move through the book. If you want to read part of it right now, put it down for a day, You can pick it back up. Did you do that intentionally? Just curious. I did. So I was an elementary school teacher before all of this, and the big word is accommodation, how to make things easier for everybody. So the way I write my books is you don't have to read them in order. You can just open up to any page and you'll find something you connect with. And for me as an artist, it's like the challenges, can I make it so you can open it up anywhere, find something you dig. But if you go end to end, is there also a thread that connects it? So it's a lot of really, a lot of really fun challenges for me to kind of make it all happen. But yeah, I understand that, look, to get the idea across, you only need a

couple of pages, and we can explore those pages. And what I'm trying to do is to get people to start a journey. I'm not here to have all the answers. I'm just the kid at the front of the class, sharing everything that he's learning while he's taking notes. Well, actually, it's funny you say that, because the first chapter of book is love is a path, not a destination. Yeah. Yeah. What the heck does that mean? I think so often we think that there's like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and we don't realize that the pot of gold is the rainbow. You know, it's not about, because we watch movies, and there's always a happily ever after.

And we don't know what the day after they're happily ever after is.

But our lives move in cycles.

We have, you know, maybe not in LA, but we have four seasons.

And things move circular.

And I think it's just really important to understand that.

That it's not about what the work gets you.

It's who you become doing all this work, who you become on this journey.
