Just remember this, 10 lazy years can be erased by six focused months. That's the good news about life for us humans, redemption, you know, you can be redeemed. If you look at spiritual teachers, the great religions of all time, they kind of all have this message of redemption that you can get back what you regret almost always. Now obviously there's probably some limitations to this, but 10 lazy years can be erased by six focus months. So you gotta self assess like Peter Drucker says, you know, feedback, analysis. He basically says the way to know your strengths and weaknesses is not through intuition. Because as Carl Jung says in his book Psychological Types, when it comes to, to matters of one's own personality, as a rule, your judgment is extraordinarily clouded. So it's very hard to know yourself. So Peter Drucker says, if you want to know if you reach your potential in the last 10 years, think back five or 10 years ago, what you wanted out of life. Hopefully you wrote it down. But just imagine, let's say you didn't write it down. So you're right, you, you then you come back now and you look at it. Everything you accomplished is your strengths and everything that you couldn't pull off is your weaknesses, right? So when I think about my own life, say go back 10 years ago, you know, I wanted to build a personal brand that was important to me. I saw the writing on the wall that personal brands were the thing that with would withstand, you know, even the AI age that was coming. You know, ChatGPT started around 2014, 2015, 2016, you know, crypto, all this big shock waves in the system started happening then. So you know, and you look back and you go, okay, did I pull it off? Yeah, in a way. So that's probably a strength public speaking, you know, being controversial. Most personal brands are controversial. And, and then what are weaknesses? You know, what are things I wanted to have that I didn't have? That's your 10 lazy years. You think you could replace lazy years? We're often lazy intuitively on things that are our weakness. You know, you see people, you're really out of shape, they don't want to go to the gym because it's a weakness. Now here's the tricky part. You know, Peter Drucker advises you don't try to build on weakness. So what does that mean? I mean that's weird. Does that mean it's, you've been lazy the last 10 years, going to the gym, you shouldn't do it? I, I think the answer is you shouldn't do it alone. You got to hire a trainer. Everything that you're a weakness, you will have to do socially. You know, I think that's the happy medium. Nobody talks about anything. That is a strength you could probably do with you as the leader. You look back at your life, everything you're weak at the last 10 lazy years. The way to get it back in the six, nine, next six months is to acknowledge it's your weakness and only build with like a personal trainer. Don't be going, I see all these people in the gym without a personal trainer. I can tell you I've spent a million dollars on my body in the last 10 years. You know, I, I launched if you those you following me for a while. 2016, 2017, I launched million Dollar Body, which is basically just me journaling all these different protocol stem cells, tested my blood every two months, Dexa scans, anything you can name. You know, I pretty much did that was legal steroids. I've tried everything, you know, and so I look back, let's say 10 years ago, it's 2015. I looked at the 10 previous years and I was like, you know what? I wasn't in the gym enough. It was a weakness. I was lazy on that. So what I did a lot of that million dollars went to the best trainers, you know, now you don't need a million dollars to get back in the gym. But same with making money. If you look back in the last 10 years, you had all these business ideas, you didn't launch them. You see other people making money with the ideas. You had the apps. You were like, oh, I'm gonna make this app. Someone else did it. But that's probably a weakness. So that means what's the rule? You can't overcome it with pure self determination and grit. You have to overcome it socially. And I think, you know, if you really study. I've been going deep. I'm kind of in my intellectual phase in a certain sense in life. You know, I've done a lot of this stuff, like a bucket list checklist that was all my life. Made money, become famous or at least semi famous, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, get my farm, travel the world, date beautiful women, have kids. You know, I've, I've checked off a lot. I bench press. You know, I've read 3, 305. I could probably at my peak could bench 350, you know, not any world records, but pretty solid numbers in various things. I've never been the richest person in the world, but, you know, I've made big money relative to the global economy, really a lot of money if you compare me globally. But. But the point is I'm in the checklist phase of like in my scientific stage and with AI you can really go deep. So one of the things I tell you, if you go and scientifically reverse engineer. I was reading Albert Einstein essays. You know, some people consider Einstein one of the great, the greatest thinker of all time, but certainly one of the greats that we know of. A lot of records were destroyed from the library of Alexandria and so there may have been other Einstein's in history, but we know Einstein was pretty monumental in thinking. And I was reading his essays and he basically said, you know, he was talking that everything we do is really social. It's like our language formation comes out of other people. We learn from other people, not from books. We learn all social customs, mating strategies. Money making is ultimately a social game. Steve Jobs understood socially how people would like an iPhone. And Elon Musk understood how a large group's large group psychology, how they would see the Tesla. It wasn't the first electric car you had the, you know, the I, the BMW, all these different ones. By the way, one of the first times I met Elon Musk, actually the first time was at the Grove in la. Just a quick interaction and we talked for a couple minutes. But I saw him when we were leaving the movie. Who's at a movie? And I said, what do you think of the i8? Because that was the big electric car. And it was funny. He yelled back, it's I. I was always like, what? It's not what I expected from him, but it says I anyway. So when you think of your 10 lazy years, you really gotta go, what are the things I can do through self determination? Those are your strengths. Those are the things you've had no trouble doing. If you divide up life into four categories, the four pillars, Health, worth, love, happiness. Probably everybody listening has a strength, at least one pillar. I mean, there are people that ain't winning in any of the four pillars in the last 10 years. You've been lazy in all them, you know, but let's say the average person listening, naturally one or two comes. You know, you see guys in the gym, muscles come easy. Genetically, they got the willpower to hit the gym, but they're broke, you know, so they got health but not wealth. I meet people, I've got all these private clients. I got a private client program where I work one on one with CEOs and business owners. And I got one guy, I mean, I got a lot of guys that are good naturally making money, but I got one guy just prints money, million a week in his pocket, but love, the third pillar and happiness. He's naturally kind of depressed and he's just awkward socially. Ends up with horrible gold digger women, you know, who steal from them and all this stuff. So when you think about him, you know, his 10 lazy years in his mind was love and happiness. And I'm like, well, here's my solution. You can't go about it alone. You're gonna have to go about it socially. That's why he hired me. I think. He's in the third year of my people pay me 125 grand a year, you know, to work with the monthly, get access to my WhatsApp. And it's actually my, really, my most successful program, I think I've never had a refund request. Not, not just I've never, not only have I never had a refund, but I've never had a refund request. By the way, if you're listening and you're, you know, want to learn about that program, just go to privatementor.com and you could book a free call with, I do, like a quick 10 minute call to see if it's a good fit. Privatementor.com Anyway, so if you're listening, you've probably been lazy, weak on one or two of the pillars. Think about it. What is yours? It's okay, by the way. I know we live, you know, I kind of live in the world of positive thinking and self help and so people kind of don't want to admit their weaknesses. No, I'm good at everything. It's kind of like all these podcasts you see now where they're, they're asking women, you know, what are you 1 to 10? And women are like, I'm a 10. And I'm like, nobody's really a 10. That's the definition of a 10 is perfection. But they don't want to admit, I mean, there ain't nothing wrong with saying I'm a six, I'm a four. You know, accurate self assessment is the beginning of all change. So anyway, what's your week on these four pillars? Those the lazy years. You could fix those in six months of focus. As long as you do it with other, like a mentor, a trainer, a coach. You know that that is the missing link. That's why you see some people, it's interesting. I'm kind of in the guru space. They call it you know, and in the guru space, you see people out there going, oh, you don't need a mentor. You know, you're your own mentor. And, and the smart guys say that, you know, Gary V. Alex Horosi, smart guys. The thing that I think they're missing is it's easy for them to say because those two dudes are naturally good at the money making at pillar two. And I'm not saying they haven't put in hard work, but I'm saying just like LeBron James and Ronaldo put in hard work, but they were naturals, they had a set of genetics. Not everybody could work as hard as Ronaldo and LeBron and get to the top, right? So I think a lot of people attack the guru coach industry because they say, you don't need that. You don't need that, man. You just do this on your own. And I'm going away. Oh, wait, that's true for people who have a natural inclination and genetic propensity, but it's not true for people who have a weakness. Like you see these Instagram reels late at night, you know, you're scrolling limit that, by the way. But you see these big 600 pound women in America and men, and you're like, oh, you just stop eating so much. Well, no, that's their weakness. Health pillars are weakness. They need a coach. They need someone. They need to go to a ranch or a facility and be kind of locked in there for a couple, you know, six months. That 10 lazy years that's gotten them to be so overweight. 200 kilos, 300 kilos, you could fix that in six months. But not alone. But you can fix your. You can improve on your strengths alone. But even then I don't think you should. Speaking of Ronaldo and LeBron James, those guys have 10 coaches. They got a nutritionist, a stretching coach, you know, they got a chef who's kind of like a coach. They have different. They got a weight training coach, they got a blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, I've been around these pro athletes, it's nuts. But theoretically it is true. The things, the four pillars, whichever are your strengths. Health, well, love, happiness, you can kind of self teach, you can get some books, you can observe. You don't need massive accountability on those necessarily, but on your weaknesses you do, but. And what are your weaknesses? The things that fall in that 10 lazy years of your life. So I'm a huge fan of life. You know, once a year you could do the whole New Year's resolution thing. You Write down, okay, what's my New Year's resolution? Well, Peter, going back to Peter Drucker, the great business teacher, you know, probably the best academic or the most respected academic in the, in the business world. Kind of the founder of the NBA. You know, he said, take what you thought 10 years ago. Whatever you couldn't pull off, it's your weakness. And I'm adding. Tai Lopez is adding, get yourself a coach, guru, trainer for that thing. Look back on 10 years, everything you pull off on your own, maybe get a trainer too. A coach, a guru, a mentor. But you might be able to just keep growing naturally. It's a strength. And I've never met somebody who's naturally good at all. For health. Health, love, happiness. You know, take, take like LeBron James or these pro athletes. Ronaldo, you might say, no, Ty, they got it all. They got health. Obviously they're wealthy. I think LeBron and Ronaldo are about a billionaire. They got love. Both of them have pretty good family unit happiness. They seem pretty jolly. But what you don't. But, but let's go deeper. You got to go deeper for a second wealth. Both of those guys especially, I don't know as much about Ronaldo, but I know LeBron James has a really sharp old friend who runs his whole money making enterprise. So there's an example. LeBron probably looked back, you know, from age 15 to 25 or whatever. It's like, I don't know if this money thing is my natural. I'm spending too much time playing basketball. So he brought in outside health. That is the solution. So if you suck at making money, if you're way underperforming what you 10 years ago to today, you're making way less money than you thought you would. Time for a coach, time for a guru type, for a mentor type, for a mastermind. If you've been crushing it on your own, then just get some books, listen to some podcast, and you could probably push yourself on your own. And, and I, by the way, this comes back to one of the most controversial stands that I have. I always tell people, if you want to build your personal brand, right, if you want to build your personal brand, I tell people, I remember I was in Westwood, Los Angeles, and I was doing a seminar. Packed room, not a big room, little room. I like the little medium sized ones because you could talk to the audience. And I'm like, hey, who here wants to build a personal brand? But it's struggling. So this woman raises her hand in the front row. I said, what's Wrong. She said, oh, I don't get many views. I said, all right, what's something controversial that you believe that about half the world will love? And half the world will be mad when you say it. And she's like, I had to push her. Come on, think of something. She goes, well, twice in my life, Jesus Christ has come down from heaven into my bedroom and talked to me when I was sleeping. I woke up and there was Jesus. I'm like, real. There you go. About half the people in the world will think you're nutty, and half the world will think you are, you know, some spiritual guru. And so that's it right there. Start posting about that. That'll build your personal brand. I got a private client who's in my. Actually, I have a 250 grand level where I help people build their personal brand. He's a Canadian guy, big real estate guy in Canada. He wants to come in America same day. Everything he posts 100 views, 500 views. He's been doing it for like a year. I said, no, man, Personal brand games around a little controversy. So I told him how to sequence, which is react to other people's Instagrams. Right now is three most viral videos ever, besides the collab with me. What? But his solo videos are him reacting kind of. I totally disagree with this other gurus in the real estate space, in the business space. So anyway, my. If you ask me, hey, Ty, what's your controversial take that 50% of the world will be mad about at? 50% of the world will love, and that's genetics. I was actually having a talk with Chatbot. I always say ChatGPT could be. Is your 1100 IQ friend. It's the estimated IQ of Chat GPT at least. Memory recall IQ. Not necessarily. There are different kinds of IQ, synthesis IQ and stuff. But anyway, I said, you know, here's my theory. If you study like, you know, Sigmund Freud, I'm sorry, Karl Marx. If you study the big thinkers that have changed the world the most, let's say we could put them in five categories or five people. I would say, you know, maybe Plato. Let's just focus on the western world, you know, the eastern world of China and the. The Asian countries I know less about. But if we take the western world, what are the. The seminal thoughts that have shaken humanity? In no special order, I would say Karl Marx. Okay, and I'll come back to that in a second. But I would say Darwin. Of course, Darwin came with this thought that, you know, species didn't have to be created. They could evolve genetically out of altered environments, mutations, so on, so forth. That's a big thought. Whether you agree with it or not. That's a big one. Newton in the 1500s, you know, a man so intelligent, he never ever saw the ocean, but he calculated the, the tides, he understood the rate of the tide even though he'd never been to the ocean. Pretty smart dude. Of course calculus and gravity. So that's a game changer, I would say a game changing thinker in human history, if we go back a little further, would be Aristotle, you know, kind of the pupil of Plato, Socrates, and some say he's the founder of science. Obviously he didn't have the science we had then. We could probably go to the thinkers that came up with antibiotics just because so many people used to die from infection. And you could throw in sanitation, although that wasn't one, indoor plumbing and. But let's say, let's say, you know, penicillin around the World War I era. But I would say in many ways, in terms of economics and moneymaker, if you look at our times, your life, your parents and your grandparents, the biggest thought emanated from Karl Marx, right? If you think about it Post World War II, 1945, going forward, you had. The biggest thing that affected the world was the Cold War, right? The Cold War, which was capitalist countries theoretically against communist countries, which led to multiple wars, obviously. First the Korean War or the. I think it was a police action, they called it, but essentially a war. Then you had Vietnam and you know, you had to. I remember when I went to Germany, a little kid, you know, you. There's still eastern West Germany, still East and West Germany. So this Karl Martin, so what, what did Karl Marx say? And I'll bring this around. If you're wondering what this has to do with the 10 lazy years. So his, his. He had this dialectic which is essentially, let me say it, a little simpler. He basically say all of history at a big picture can be understood by class warfare. Okay. He called it, you know, the proletariat, the bourgeois, whatever. That's unimportant. But his point was all of life is somewhat defined at a macro level between starting with agriculture. All sudden you had agriculture thought to kind of come out of, let's say, Babylon. Babylon. These are Mesopotamia, Tigris, Euphrates, Iran, Iraq area. Once one man could grow a lot of food, he didn't need a tribe as much. And he started the people who controlled land, who owned the land, the means of production. Karl Marx, that these People were the big bosses. And of course, they started to form walls around their towns to protect their food. Because previous to agriculture, one human was constrained. Even if he went hunters and gatherers, it's almost impossible through hunting and gathering for one person or one family or one small tribe to accumulate massive, now massive amounts of resources. There was some raiding and ambushes, but in general, agriculture led to armies. And you know, I always say the whole world now, if you think about it, America and every country in the western world is essentially all the rules are enforced by a gun in your face. If you get a parking ticket in America, a little thing, and you never pay that parking ticket ever. Eventually you get a warrant for your arrest. They give you a lot of chances, okay? And eventually. And then you might say, oh, it's just a little parking ticket. Well, police officer like, you got to come with me. If you say no and you go back into your house, well, he gonna go get a second police officer. And if you start shooting at those two police officers, even if you have more weapons than them, well, now they're going to elevate to guys with more guns, the SWAT team. And it never ends. I mean, they theoretically can bring in military level. So I always say all laws in America are enforced by our 18 aircraft carriers. We're the only country that has these mega, you know, cities on the water that can go around and, you know, nuclear power. And so going back to Karl Marx, he's like, okay, this began when farmers began to accumulate massive amount of resources. They became the first capitalists, the bourgeois. And you see that throughout history, the progression, you know, and depending on what time frame. The Roman Empire, you know, at first it was like the Greek city states. They were not so warlike, you know, they were a little more tribal than you started to get bigger into empires like the Roman Empire, which was pretty much enforced with phalanxes and one of the great fighting forces of all time, organized, powerful, you know. And so Karl Marx, in a sense, maybe he was right. I mean, I'm not a communist. It's not the worst theory of the story of large groups, that it's large groups. But in the modern world, 2000s, I'm not sure this is as true. Remember, the Karl Marx was 1800s and there you had really bad, horrific working conditions. I mean, you still have that in some parts of the world, but it's not the same. It's not the same in the western world. If you work at a factory in America, it might be a horrible job, but 20 of the people ain't losing their hand in a machine like it was in 1800s. So when, when Karl Marx was really his. His story of civilization was at a time where there was real oppression by the capitalists. I mean almost. And even things like serfdom still existed in Russia where essentially you worked or you starved to death because they could take away your right to use the land. If you, if you read a book or watch. But the greatest BBC series ever is War and Peace. It's probably the greatest miniseries I'd say ever was like 2018, you should really watch that. But you know, back then you had surf still and really until depending on who you believe, in the early 1900s, this kind of Russian revolution driven by Karl Marx, right? You know, 1917, the Reds, the whites, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, what I would say. So let me, let me just say I give Karl Marx's theory of explanation of the big picture behavior of humans. I give it like a 5 out of 10 or a 6 out of 10. I mean, it's better than most people's. It's good 6 out of 10, but it's not amazing. What I think is the amazing theory and one that I have kind of. I'm not the first person to say it, but I'm one of the more vocal people on Earth. I think saying it is that the story of humanity is the sport of genetics. Now, does that mean there's no free will? Does that mean if you have bad genetics, that you can't win? No, no, I'm talking at the big picture bird's eye view. If you were an alien and you were observing us through a powerful telescope from, you know, across the galaxy and, and you're not looking at every individual person's journey, but you're looking at. And let's say you had a. You know, I was reading Stephen Hawking, Brief History of Time. He says that the only way bullets likely he sees time travel would be wormholes where you could, the alien, across the universe or across the galaxy could step into a wormhole and, and essentially pass back in time. Go back in time. You can't, as far as we know, you can't go fast, pass back in time for many reasons, one of which, you know, as you increase your speed to the speed of light, you need an infinitely more powerful engine because mass increases. Anyway, so if, let's say the aliens have bypassed that problem, they've got a wormhole, they end up being able to come from their planet and go through, and they just come once every Hundred years for a year. And so they're, they see the Confucius time taught was that 6, 4000, 6000 BCE they stopped at the Julius Caesar times right before you know, 70 bec approximately. And they stopped at the big change in the Roman Empire which was you know, the emperor in around the year 300 embracing Christianity. And then yeah, fast forward to maybe the Viking Age, 8 hundreds ish. And then you got the Genghis Khan age and you just keep going in a Renaissance and the Reformation, Industrial Revolution and Enlightenment, although enlightenments before that. But Nikon, the modern world where we are now. I would say if that alien was to put a theory, I don't think he would say it's class warfare that because the, the genetic argument is much more powerful because genetics would determine who ends up in the upper class bourgeois versus the working class proletariat. So this is a more powerful system. You would say, if you wanted to be scientific, you would say that, that Karl Marx's theory is emergent out of my theory which is genetics. Okay. It emerges after it's not the cause. That's the technical word, emerging. So anyway, so what does this have to do with you and me? Well first off this is a long podcast, so I'm giving you the long version. Sometimes people are like ah, probably just get to the point. I'm like ah, podcasts, you give the big picture the long version. So I could say this in shorter but I think you'll, you'll understand me more if I give you the long version While I go on this walk here. I'm on an hour 45 minute walk, should walk about an hour and a half a day. I'm walking home from the gym. I think I'm the only person in America walking home two hours from the gym. People do the treadmill. I'm like go outside man. Okay, anyway, so Carl Marsh's theory is actually emergent from my genetic theory. And so what that means to you and I is that a. We can't resist it. Any force that powerful. The genetic theory being so powerful that it actually, all the other theories of human behavior emerge out of it. Sigmund Freud's theory, you know, of the unconscious mind to me and, and you know, the triune brain, the ego, the super ego, the ID or in German you know, it's the, the E, the uber E and the S. Right. Like that theory is emergent out of my genetic theory. Dr. David Buss, you know, fast forward to the Harvard current theory evolutionary by psychology. Robert Trivers Evolutionary Biology, this is kind of emerging out of genetics. I even think the old, I mean the classic religions, whether it be Christianity, Islam, you know, Buddhism, you see this kind of genetic conversation, if you go back to ancient India, you know, when they were writing the, the Vedic, that, these spiritual books, they, they mentioned caste system. Now at that point, I, I have read that that initial caste system wasn't necessarily where you were born. Like you weren't in the untouchable class automatically, but you were classified in that probably by your havior, which is genetic. Okay, now let me stop for a second, give you the short version of why this matters to you. Then I'll go back to kind of explain myself. So the 10 lazy years, how they get fixed by the, in the next six months of focus is by you being very honest, not narcissistic, understanding that most of what we do is emergent out of our genetics and therefore everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Okay, now certainly the people we consider the greats, whether it's Warren Buffett or Elon Musk or, you know, Ronaldo, they have probably less genetic weaknesses. Brad Pitt, good looking guy, you know, supermodels, Angelina Jolie, whoever you think is beautiful. They, scientists say they had, you know, genetics which had lower mutation load. Average human has like 500 mutations at birth. And maybe Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Victoria's secret, supermodels had 50 or something. We call that beauty that's emerging out of genetics. So once you understand that life's not fair, that you've been dead, dealt a set of cars, just like in a poker game, you're in Vegas, but you don't get infinite lives, so you don't get infinite hands. And just the very nature, it's called ess, evolutionary stable systems. Basically nature. God is dispersing different genetic hand of cards. And so you might have been dealt a pair of twos or something. Not the greatest hand. If you're in Vegas, you know, or if you're playing blackjack, you've been dealt like a king 5. Kind of a pain in the butt hand, right? A 15 in blackjack's not the greatest hand. The great hand is, you know, a 10 Ace or something like this. Now you got blackjack and you automatically win. And there's a few people that kind of have blackjack, okay? But once you understand and come to grips with, you know, here's the hand I've been dealt. Now the great story of human not. Let's step. Okay, so I've given you kind of the grand theory of human Behavior, okay, Which is genetics, okay. But the grand theory of the universe, very interesting. And whether you're religious or atheist, you'll probably see the wisdom in this is that the current system, that's explanation for the universe is called this holographic, okay, this holographic theory. If you ask ChatGPT what's. What do scientists, physicists think is the best explanation of life on Earth? Or, sorry, life or not even life, just the universe. It's this holographic theory which is kind of that everywhere in the universe, the universe is like a 2D, two dimensional, is two dimensional universe, okay, with the ability to project into 3D and us on Earth and planets and everything is the 3D version of the information on this 2D. Now I don't like the word information. If you know me, I like the word knowledge, right? I, I actually had this conversation with Chat gbt. I was like, ah, you might be the only human to ever come up with this synthesized theory. So basically the universe runs off knowledge. And whether you're, if you're an atheist then you probably would believe in this holographic theory at least now it's our best scientific theory. But if you're Christian or Jewish, you know, the Bible says God was wisdom, God is the word, God is knowledge. You know, in the beginning was the word, right? In the beginning was God. And that's why they have these books, they call them the religions of the books. Christianity, Islam, Judaism. The book is a two dimensional page. It pretty much, I mean theoretically it has depth, but it's just width and length but no depth. But as you read it, a book can change your life. The information, the knowledge off that I, I consider knowledge, information in action. So when it's just on a page and you're not acting on it, it's information when you read it and it projects into your life a new habit, a new idea, a new way of living. Now it's become alive knowledge. And that's why as I said, the great religions teach the word of God is living, it's alive. And that's atheists or physicists current best theory or one of their best theories on the universe. It's this quantum, this holographic kind of concept. Now it's a little more complex. If you want to go deeper, you know, there is a deeper version. It's not just the holographic theory, you know, it's also kind of a combination. But like I said, I'm not a physicist so I'm not going to go infinitely deep. But here, let Me tell you why this is important. Okay, this is pretty mind blowing. I think, you know, I'm a big picture thinker. I. I feel like if you fix the big picture, then you can start fixing the everyday problems in your life, you know, every day problems of your life. So what was I just saying? Lost my train of thought. Oh yeah. See, the more complex is that the universe best explained by, by holographic plus string theory. But let's just focus on holographic string theory. The interesting thing, it's almost like life is a guitar and it's being played by playing the strings. It's kind of cool. So anyway, what does this have to do with your 10 lazy years? Can be fixed by six months of focus. Well, part of the reason there's two reasons you had 10 bad years in any part of your life, healthless love or happiness, okay? One is you didn't have the information that you could put into action and turn it into knowledge, okay? You just didn't have it. Like you were ignorant. You were born in the middle of a jungle, so you couldn't know that. You know, if you cut yourself and bacteria gets in there, you'll die from an infection. Okay, that's option one. That's one of the reasons you could just be ignorant of information. Number two, you could have had the information, okay? You knew what to do, but you didn't turn it into knowledge because you didn't act on it. That's the lazy part, that's worse. And when I look at my life, I'm more mad at myself for the things I knew what to do and I just didn't do it. Now, before you beat yourself up, that's really the only two reasons you, you. Now some people would add, oh, no, I live, I was born with a skin color. I was born in a country where I couldn't do this. Ah, yeah, a little bit. But in general, anywhere at any time in history, you could have turned, if you had information, you could have turned it into actionable knowledge. And so this is where the genetic theory comes in, which is newer. We didn't understand this before, okay? We would just look at somebody who's an alcoholic and be like, this is a person who's just a horrible human being. Well, maybe that's true in a sense, but do not judge. Jesus Christ said, lest you be judged, let the person who's without sin, right, Sin, throw the first stone. And by the way, sin you could understand, as I think the technical definition is missing the mark. Like you're a Bow and arrow shooting at a target. And a sin is to miss the mark. We've all missed the mark, work on some things, but some people are an archer born with, genetically with only one arm. So they're gonna miss the mark more than somebody born strong. So I think the newest and more complete understanding of humanity is, and this is not the universe. The universe is explained by, you know, there's information or knowledge. And the purpose of the universe is to create ever more complex knowledge until entropy wipes everything out. And maybe it starts over. But for you and I, at an individual level, we. It's a three step plan. Step one is Peter Drucker. Think back at what Your goal was 10 years ago. Did you pull it off today by now? Have you pulled it off by now? If not, that's probably a genetic. This is step two, bring genetics into it. Not in a way that makes you paralyzed, right? Not only makes you paralyzed, but in a way that empowers you. So genetics, you, you go to step two, you say, okay, probably the things that I didn't do, my weaknesses that I wanted to do were probably. It lies in a genetic basis. Okay, okay. Now step three, here's the cool thing. You can use free will, or at least the feeling of free will to compensate for your genetic weaknesses. So I'll give you an example. There's a guy I know. Well, let's start. I was just at the gym. So there are people who, they got to look themselves in the mirror, okay, and say, look, I always wanted to be, have a six pack. But I look at myself, I always want to be a skinny women. This happens a lot. I want to be a skinny woman. And when I was working out today at the gym, there's these big Maori guys, you know, from south, so they're New Zealand area, right? South Pacific. And these are big dudes, man. Just genetically, if you don't believe in genetics, go hang out with the rock. Go hang out with these big Maori guys, right? So if that, and, and both Maori men and women, the downside is genetically, they can put on a lot of muscle easily become some of the strongest people. But genetically, if they don't take care of themselves, they get fat. They have tremendous obesity in that genetic group, okay? So what you got to do, let's say you were a Maori woman or Maori man. Ten years ago, you wanted to be just a machine, perfect body. Now 10 years transpire, you realize you've been lazy, haven't been eating well, haven't gone to gym. You're all out of shape. I think you should start by being like, wait, this is a genetic issue now again, you're not paralyzed. You can overcome it. Here's what you do. You say, I'm not going to become a little skinny marathon runner, okay? The cards of life were dealt to me. The cards were dealt. So if you're a Maori woman and you got this big strong body, you go to CrossFit, you become, I mean, women could be beautiful who are big and strong. You go, some of those crossfit women are beautiful. You know, they're not stick figures, but they've maximize their genes. They maximize their genes. Give you another example. Health hold love. Happiness love. There's dudes that I know that always want to have beautiful women in love with them. Single guys, bachelors, but they're like five foot five. They're, they're, they're small guys now. So you start, you know, 10 years, 10 years ago, that dude's like, I want to have most beautiful woman fall in love with me. Beautiful women fall in love with me. And then he looks back and he's like, oh, I've been lazy. I haven't been going out. I haven't this. Well, that might be his intuition going to stage two. It ain't in the genetic cards. If you're five foot four, you're probably your purpose on this earth ain't to be the most, you know, sought after sexually attractive men, man to woman. But you know what doesn't matter, you go to stage three is what do you do with that with your free will? Find a woman. There's always women. I'll marry guys that are five, four, that are pretty. There's not a lot of them, but find one and settle down and go on a different side quest. You got to change your side quest. You got to say, change that. Perfect. It ain't in the cards. It's not in the cards for you, man. You know, and, and so a lot of this world is people not wanting to f thinking that no, I could fix anything through raw power. Because genetics don't matter. Since the, you know, post 1940s, Adolf Hitler eugenics became very non popular. Unfortunately. They threw the baby out with the bathwater. They threw the good ideas which have nothing to do with Hitler. They, they, they, you know, they're long before Hitler. I mean, for the last 10,000 generations, people knew, be careful who you have kids with, you know, because you will have, you will pass on certain things to your kids for good or bad. And also men and women have looked for health and strength and emotional stability and all that stuff. Because we've intuitively have known, but we've forgotten about this now. And so once you bring genetics into the conversation, the 10, your 10 lazy years, you, you beat yourself up less. Some of it was just in the cards. So you got to ask for help now or you got to adjust the plan. I, I meet a lot of guys, you know, this is more of a man thing. And they're just like, ty, I'm going to become a billionaire. I, I ask people sometimes when I'm doing private calls. I have a private client. I have like a, a light version of my private client where we do a 15 or 20 minute call. If you go to tyler.com and you want to book a call, I don't charge that much. I like to do one or two a day, you know, just. But when I talk to people and they're making 100 grand a month or a million a year or whatever, and I say, what's your goal here? What is the minimum you'll be happy with? And just some guys are like, ah, I gotta become a billionaire. I had a guy say he's only gonna be happy if a European dude, if he makes 20 billion plus US net worth. Yeah. And I'm like that. I told him, man, don't be stupid. Like, come on. I mean, there's a great book called the Magic of Thinking Big. I'm all for thinking big. You should read that book. But there genetically, like me with my body frame, I have what's called a mesomorph. I'm like in between. So. So you have. This is an old classification, they've changed this, but I still like it. You have ectomorphs, that's people who are naturally really skinny, struggle to gain fat or muscle. So some good, they don't get fat, but they don't get muscular. Then you have the mesomorphs. They can get a little fat but not too fat. And they can put on a little more muscle than ectos. And then you have endomorphs. That's like the rock, the Maories, they could put on a lot of muscle. A lot of African Americans have that endo morph body type genetically. But they also gotta be careful, don't go fat because you can. Well, God giveth, he could take it away too. So anyway, so when I'm talking to a dude and he's like, yeah, man, I'm gonna be a bit. I'm like, no, you're not gonna be like a billion I'm like, no. They're like, why? I'm like, well, you know, I know 10 billionaires, I've been in business with three guys on the Forbes list, or one of them was close to the force list. But they're a billion plus net worth and they're all pretty much genetically incredibly high iq. They're very sharp, okay? Now you could be a millionaire without being a genius. You could probably even be an eight figure, maybe even a nine figure. But with that, unless you marry into it or inherit it, you ain't becoming a 10 figure net worth without some genetics on your side. I'm telling you, people go, no, you're on time. Like, okay, let's go through the fortiful list. Who do you think's dumb? You think Mark Zuckerberg, you think Steve Ball, I, you know, I, I dinner with Steve Ballmer, it's worth about 150 billion. And, and he's like, I met, I met Bill Gates because he was like number one in the in America in math contest. And I came in number two. Well, that helps when you're building Microsoft and you're programming to be really good with numbers. It's a genetic thing. Warren Buffett too. Warren Buffett's sharp. He axle down to earth, Nebraska guy, trust me, I saw him at a Berkshire Hathaway event. Some Chinese mathematician got up in front of 18000 people on the microphone, he's like, oh, Warren Buffett, I saw that you bought these stock options, but I think you miscalculated the math because like 90 year old Warren Buffett's like, oh, let me stop you right there. You just did the math wrong. And he just like redid the math on the fly in front of 18000 people. And this Chinese PhD guy just sat down like an idiot. Okay, so I'm like, now you ain't becoming a billionaire, bro. I mean there is a universe, I believe kind of in MWI theory, many worlds interpretation, where there's every possible outcome. But like Stephen Hawking said, you have to assign a probability to every possible outcome. I mean, there's a possibility I could play, there's a possibility I could play pro basketball. You know, there's a parallel universe, but it's a low probability one. You know, there's 300 people who play real pro basketball in America out of a billion people who play basketball. You, you gotta have average basketball player pro now is like 6, 7 and you know, extremely genetically gifted. They still got a work card, but the foundation is there. The set of Cards was dealt in. So I told, I told these people in the call, why you got to be a billionaire? Why you just make it up an arbitrary number? I'm like, why aren't you happy with 10 million? You know, examine yourself like, what are you doing? The purpose of life is not even money. As I said. A quantum physicist would say, possibly the purpose of life is, is, is self improvement. That's from this holographic theory of information comes in out of that emergent information, this 2D world that's, you know, holographically comes out as this 3D life that we have. Like, the point is continual complexity. You see that in civilizations. You see that in your own life. People want their life to get better. And so why, why billionaire then? I'm like, why don't you just say you're not gonna be happy unless you're a trillionaire? Why a trillionaire? Why don't you say you won't be happy until you're worth 20 trillion? I mean, Augustus Caesar, after Julius Caesar, the nephew of Julius Caesar, who we now call, you know, is known as Augustus Caesar. He and he, he ushered in the Pox Romana, the maybe the 300 best years, most peaceful years in Western world. He was worth 20 of the global GDP they project. So he's worth in today's $20trillion. So, you know, like, people go, well, you're holding them back by telling them they can't be a billionaire. I'm like, well, they're holding themselves back by saying only 20 billion. Why not 20 trillion? Why not control all the GDP? In fact, the whole net worth of planet Earth is projected to be 300 to 500 trillion. I mean, theoretically, you could conquer the whole world with AI robots, and it's just you and you control all wealth. But we got to deal in many world interpretation probabilities. Why not? Why kill yourself? There's probably not much that you gain. I could tell you this from observation, not from books, because I've, you know, I'm kind of a mad scientist. I've experienced many things that few people have. I'm not saying I'm better. I'm just saying this is a fact. Very few people have, you know, both lived with the Amish with no electricity for two and a half years, and then, you know, Been in business with guys worth billions and lived in Beverly hills and had 5% of the world watch his. Some form of video. Like, I've experienced many things and, and there's a lot of people better than every pillar of the good Life, there's someone on earth better than me. Health, wealth, love, happiness. Maybe much better than me, but not many have my combination of all four. In fact, I might be so narcissistic to say I've never met somebody who's had my experiences at a math level. And so what I could tell you is those of you trying to make money, the, the, the. There's something called. Talked about this before, if you follow me. But there's. There's something called the efficient frontier. And it's a really interesting concept of the efficient frontier. You can pretty much map anything you want. So money, okay, you have a graph. It kind of looks like a hill, okay, it's this graph, and on one the axis, you know, and you have, you have the vertical line, the X and the Y, right? So on this graph, one you have getting richer and one you have getting happier. And it's like a hill at first. When you have no money, you really are very unhappy. You have very little happiness because you're worried about whether you'll starve to death today, right? So you start making more money. It's like a hill. You start going up in wealth. As you start becoming wealthier, moving, you start going up in happiness. But everything, and this is the real lesson of the efficient frontier. Everything has an optimal point, meaning the hill reaches a crest, a top, a ridge. And if you go past the ridge, you start to go downhill. So I always take Mark Zuckerberg as an example, okay, he's, you know, top five wealthiest person in modern times. He reached a point where wealth probably felt just so amazing. I guarantee you, him making his first 1 to 10 million was probably the happiest he ever was. And maybe there was no happiness between 10 million and 50 million. And then reach a new crescendo. The hill isn't always a straight line. It can be like a real mountain, a series of ridges where you're not happier at all. If you make more money, then it goes, your wealth goes up a lot and you get happier again for a moment. This is called this kind of hedonic treadmill the human brain. Sigmund Freud talks a lot about this in chapter two of Civilization is Discontents, which I think is the best book ever written, if I might be so bold to defend Sigma chord. But anyway, he says, you know, the problem of being a human, I'm summarizing, is you only experience happiness through contrast. So when Zuckerberg made his first. When he's broke and made his first million, that's a huge contrast. So he felt amazing. And then between 1 to 10 million he probably feel nothing because there's not much different in your life. It's not like you can buy a yacht if you're worth 1 million or 9 million, right? So then at some point he made it, became his first billion. I think he was 25, approximately. Probably felt a big contrast surge. Then it went away, you know, and then eventually he's so wealthy. I was just reading the public filings, you know, meta. Facebook is a publicly traded company, so you can read their high level financials. And it says that on personal security, which is paid for by the company, since he's a key executive, it's something like, I think it was 24 million or 28 million for two years. Okay, so it's more than a million a month. So what I was thinking is, okay, he's broke, unhappy, makes his first million, big jump in happiness, keeps going at the point wherever you have to have a million a month of security, your happiness has gone down. That means he has credible threats of kidnapping all the time against his children, against him. I just saw some Silicon Valley crypto guy just got, you know, tortured and, and sent what, 10 million in crypto. They found out he had it, they pretended they were like a pizza guy. So there's a guy who's what, he doesn't have security now? He wishes he does. And so my point is Zuckerberg passed what you want, which is the optimal point on the official frontier. I think the optimal point in the western world is around 10 million. If you make a 10 million net worth. Let's say you have 10 million in the bank or semi liquid. Here's why. You're in a really good place. You're not so big that you're highly likely to be a target for the irs, the sec, the ftc, a political opponent, whistleblowers, like all these bullshit things, lawsuits, frivolous lawsuits. I have a private client, they sold their company for over a billion cash to Apple. And I told them watch out. You know, and then somebody within a month of me telling them that, somebody who was at their house said they fell down the stairs and broke their back and probably threw themselves down the stairs and suing them for 100 million. So a 10 million, you're like below the, the radar of big lawyers. Because trust me, I've been through this. The loss, I've seen this man when I was, when my net worth was 10 million, 1 to 10 million, let's say I had no troubles, nothing. Well then I Start doing, you know, 50 million a month in revenue. You start having thousands of employees. You start have that, oh, trust me, bro, the game changes. You started becoming. Well, I've had, just this year I had a, another stalker get arrested. I've had, you know, one stalker about six, seven years ago, ended up in prison for breaking into my house, trying to meet me. Then try to steal all my cars. And it's crazy story. Beverly Hills, he made sandwiches in my kitchen on camera. We got it before he got in and tried to steal all the cars. He got like six counts of grand theft larceny end up in prison. They got released because of overcrowding in California. I'm like, hey, did I get a restraining order guy? Like, we don't know what to do. You just gotta hope he doesn't come back. Anyway, so none of that happened to me. I mean, I was still making millions, didn't have that. So I, I think for most people when I tell you, you look at the 10 lazy years of your life and you want to get them back in the next six months. Like, look at your genes and if your genes, you ain't the number one genius. Just try to make 1 to 10 million. It's a lot. Plus you can change where you live. 10 million if you move to Brazil. To be in the 1% of Brazil. I saw a chart. You only have to be 400,000 liquid net worth to be in the top 1% of America. I think it's like 5 million. And if you live in Beverly Hills or Manhattan or Miami, it's 30 million. To be in a 1% or maybe 50 million. I had neighbors, I lived in Beverly Hills for more than a decade. You know, it's like, remember the hills in Hollywood for much more than a decade, you ain't never got. There's always some mofo. One of my neighbors in Hollywood, he's the dude who won the billion dollar lottery. He bought Russell. Russell Brand used to be my neighbor, like below me in the Canyon. Not my next door neighbor. I never met him. But I looked down, I was back at that house recently, like, oh, Russell Brand got all this police cars in his driveway. Then they're like, no, no, that's the dude who won all the over a billion. I think his payout after tax was a billion. Well, that dude now got a police. So. My point is this whole genetic conversation, when you look at your weaknesses, it's. I don't know why people got to be depressed. You know, it's like Elon Mus said, He ain't the richest man. Somebody said, how's it feel to be the richest man in the world? He's like, I don't know. Ask Putin. Putin controls an army and controls, you know, the Russia, the largest geographic space country with massive natural resources. As I think Caesar said, Julius Caesar, you're not wealthy unless you control legions. So Elon's like, I'm not even rich. So no matter how rich you are, there's always some dude richer. And there's somebody richer than Putin, probably Kim Jong Un. You know, in North Korea, those dudes just grab people's bitcoin. They're wealthy too. So my point being is when I tell people you have genetic limitations, and that's part of why the last 10 years have felt lazy and non productive. People just take this so narcissistically and go, no, Ty, my mom told me I can do anything. No, you can't. No, if you're four foot one, you ain't going to be able to dunk and play pro basketball. If you're 5 foot 2, you ain't playing pro basketball either. I, I know a guy who's almost 40 years old who wants to play in the NBA and he's under 5 foot 8. I'm like, yeah, why do you have that goal, man? You're just torturing yourself. That's not thinking big. That's thinking low probability. Look at the card you were dealt and pivot based on those. There's no downside, I'm telling you. I wish, I wish I had listened to this podcast episode when I was starting out in the game, because. Know thyself, which includes genetics. The Oracle Adelphi, first piece of self help device advice in the modern world was, you know, Greek. The Oracle Adelphi, it was know thyself. And back then they didn't understand DNA. That didn't come till the 1970s, you know, Francis Crick and these people. And you got the decoding the DNA of this sequence now. Now we know, well, pretty much everything. Genetic, your eye color, 100 genetic, your height. Now this is confusing to people. The, the, because the, the heritability, okay, is, is about, I think height is like 0.7. So out of a thousand people, you can explain 70% of the height by their parents and grandparents, not by their environment. But it's even higher if you look at how tall. So anyway, I don't want to digress, but people get confused. They don't understand science. What that means is, yes, you can make yourself shorter. So Shaquille O', Neal, the 7 foot tall, 215 centimeter basketball player. He's tall primarily not because he ate better diet growing up than you and I, but it's almost 100% genetic. Now if he had not if he had been locked up by a abusive parent, hardly given any food, he might only be, he might be a midget because he had stunted growth. So yes, height, when you look at being both tall and short is only 70 genetic. But being extremely tall is essentially almost 100. When you give everybody the same diet, then it's almost 100% genetic. It's almost 100 genetic. So that's why I said this whole thing, people try to go, well this is. No, scientists say that this is only 0.5 heritability. 50 heritable. I'm like, yeah, but not on the upside, you know what I'm saying? Being a billionaire, to me, what I've seen research observed is probably 80 plus percent genetic. And there's some good science to this. If you read the book put together by the two well known CPA guys, researchers, it's called the self made billionaire effect. They did the largest and probably most credible study of billionaires. You know, guess what they found? Billionaires, okay, billionaires, like 75% of them came from wealthy parents. And everybody gets it wrong. They're like, yeah, of course. Because the parents just gave the kids the money. No, no, no, it's not that simple. You're over. That happens sometimes, but you're oversimplifying. You're oversimplifying, brother. What that means, more Importantly is that point 75% inherited the genes of somebody else who had the combination of genetics that allowed them to be wealthy. Bill Gates dad was one of the wealthiest guys in whatever Seattle, you know, you look the nephew of Sigmund Freud, wrote the famous book Bernice. The book propaganda. You know, he was one of the great communicators. Sigmund Freud's daughter became kind of the founder of child psychology. Erasmus. Wasn't Erasmus the cousin or uncle of, you know, Darwin? Michael Jackson? I saw an interview with Janet Jackson. She's like, you know, Samuel L. Jackson and Stevie Wonder are related to the Jacksons. A lot of, a lot of talent comes genetically. So anyway, know thyself be okay with your genetic limitations. Just pivot into something else. There's always a way, man. Where there's a will, there's a way. As I said, most things that you're striving to be huge on, I'll have efficient, frontier, optimal Points that you're probably going past. I think of it this way. I knew a dude, he had no muscles. So guys didn't respect him and girls didn't like him. Women do like a level of musculature. Sure. Most good research shows women like some musculature. So also. And he starts. So he low happiness, low muscle. He started going up the hill on the fishing frontier graph. And he's going up and. And he starts putting on some muscle. Men start noticing and women start noticing, finding the women find him more attractive. So it goes, hell yeah, let me put on more muscle. So he puts a lot more on. A year or two go by, he's all natural, and now women really find them attractive. And men are like, I respect you, dude. You know, men kind of intrinsically respect physical prowess. So next he goes, well, why don't I go on steroids? Then that'll add. I'll add another 30 pounds of lean muscle. So he goes on Dexa. I mean, he goes on a trend or something like this. He starts going on a little horse tranquilize the horse drugs. And he just become deca and all this stuff. And now it becomes a mass monster. They called him. I used to own Bodybuilding.com. they got mass monster. So he's this big dude, right? Well, guess what? Now women start going, women. There's good signs that women find muscle attractive until you become what the technical word is muscle bound. Muscle bound means where your actual coordination decreases. We've all seen this with big bodybuilders. You see them try to sprint, they can hardly run, you know. So all of a sudden, now he went past the efficient, the optimal point on the fishing frontier. Like, he's at the top of the mountain. Now he's going back downhill. He's too much muscle. Maybe dudes, but dudes start thinking he's a cheater. You see, guys like, oh, you're just big because you're on steroids. And then skin starts to get weird and heart starts to fail and you become infertile. And all of a sudden, once again, you should have stopped. That's the great lesson. You should have stopped at the official frontier. Same with money. And by the way, that's genetic for the bodybuilder. You've got to stop where? Because a lot of how. How much muscle you can gain, for example, and still look and feel coordinated. You can measure your wrists, right? I have like, not small lists and not huge wrists. I have like medium wrists. And so that means I can have a decent amount of muscle. But I could never be like Brian Shaw or the mountain and be an extreme power lifter. It's just not going to happen. You see what I'm saying? It ain't, it ain't in the cards. So genetically so what you do is to find the efficient, the optimal point on the efficient frontier for your health, for your wealth, for love, for happiness. You got to look at your genes. That's why I said everything that you do without realizing is essentially emergent out of your genetics. Even if environment can alter things, environmental changes is emergent from your genes, meaning environmentally, if you eat a ton of food, but you're a little teeny guy with little teeny wrists, you ain't going to become the rock. Right? Your, your ability to put on muscle by eating well and controlling your environment and sleeping nine hours and, you know, eating perfectly. Macro micronutrients, everything high protein is still emergent from your genetics. So genetics is the grand mama of it all. It gives birth to your potential. Of course you're going to have to navigate after you were born, but some level of cards. And so I just want to encourage you, in a world of self help and self development, there's kind of a toxic message. And you see this with plastic surgery. Just like sometimes I was. There was a woman at the gym the other day, attractive woman too. And I don't know why she had to make her lips all weird. I mean, she went once again past the optimal point on the fishing frontier. Yes, men like lips that are full. I mean, it's a sign of youthfulness. Right, because we lose collagen. All men and women lose it. As you age, men lose their thicker lips too. So women and men find thicker lips is called a proxy for youth. Right. In the past, when you met a mating partner 10,000 generations ago, they might not even know their birthday. A lot of tribes didn't even keep their birthday. I was listening to the story of Genghis Khan. Nobody knew their birthday. There was no birthday. They kind of knew the birth year or I got a private client, came from Africa. I didn't know when he was born. He was born to a mother in like the outskirts of like the jungle. So true American success story, though. He's. I'm helping him exit his business for over 100 million. Kind of a cool story. But my point is, thick lips were a proxy. That means they were a signal to tell you the authenticity of a claim. In this case, youthfulness. But this woman just got her lips so big that she went downhill in Attractiveness. Everybody can tell. And so that's what I'm saying. The modern world is full. You could call these evolutionary mismatches. But, you know, I. I think it's a real problem now. So it's like dudes seeing other guys with different genetics making a ton of money. So the guy's like, well, if Elon can do it, I can do it too. Well, no, that's not how it goes. I don't look at Michael Jordan go, well, if he can dunk from the free throw line, so can I. I don't have that message. I mean, no sane person interprets life that way, but insanity is all around us. So I strongly encourage you to understand that a lot of the 10 lazy years, the things you failed at in the last decade, are just emergent, negatively out of your genetics. And so once you realize that, it's kind of like the saying I like, which is when you're drowning in the pool, you can't pull yourself out by your own hair, right? You can't be like, oh, I'm drowning. You got. Have somebody else who's standing on more stable ground reach into the pool and pull you out. So once you understand your 10 last years, the things you fail, that. Those are the things you need an outside person, okay, that pulls you out. And because your genetics can't do it, so you look for somebody who's genetically gifted in that area. That's why most people want a personal trainer who's muscular. That's why most people want a, you know, a business coach who made a lot of money. Like, it's kind of natural that we're like, well, I don't want no broke. You know, I don't want a broke dude teaching me. I want some, you know, I want some genius at making money. Love. You don't want to. I. Sometimes I hang out with mystery. He's like the most famous. Him and Baxter, most famous pickup artist in history. You know, he's a master of just walking up to people and just, like, mesmerizing them. And he's better than me genetically. There's something called verbal fluidity, you know, And I'm pretty high on verbal fluidity. But then there's different, what you would call the. The dynamic. So his. He's very verbally fluid when it's the opposite sex women, whereas other people are more verbally fluid when they give speeches or things like this, right? So it's called domain specific. So his domain in that he got a. He got a gift, you know, he's also like 6 foot 7 tall and he wears platform shoes. So he's like 7 foot tall and he wears a top hat. So he accentuates his genetics. But for me it's. Why not? I try to go once a year to one of those pickup artists. It doesn't even have to be about picking up women. It can just be better communicator. You know, he's got all these tricks up his sleeve that I think are amazing. So that's an example of how you fix the last 10 years where you've been lazy. It's not going to come through just brute force willpower. If you've struggled with your happiness, you probably. I mean baseline happiness, which is defined as essentially how you feel in the morning when you first wake up if nothing good or bad is happening. Everybody. There's people who are awake up at 10, right? They're just super happy, assuming nothing horrible. But even if nothing great's happening, then there's people whose baseline happiness is a one. People are very suicidal. You can see this many geniuses throughout history struggled with this. Whether it's, you know, Frederick Nietzsche and different people like this that you see struggle with bipolar and this kind of Schopenhauer the philosopher. You know, these are very depressed people, still productive, but they have basel low baseline happiness. So when you think about if you're. Let's go through a health level of avenue. If you have low baseline physical genetics, maybe you just don't put muscle on your body's not very symmetrical and beautiful from birth. Okay, that's going to be a weakness. So you need to get somebody around you or a group of people who are natural, who are naturals. I love to hang out with naturals when I'm not a natural. What's up doggies? I love dogs. Whatever. You're not an. I love to hang out with naturals. A lot of people would think, no, you don't want to hang out with a natural because they can't explain it. Yeah, yeah. But my counter argument is you want to be around a natural whole who also push themselves through free will. You know what I mean? So go out there and whether it's hell if your health sucks, find somebody who's naturally genetically talented. Plus use free will or the semblance of free will to push their them to their strength even further. If you suck at money over for 10 years straight, it probably ain't in your genetics, you know, money now in the modern world, Buffett, alt Warren Buffett, all the great investor always says you Know if I've been born in another time. He's like, I'm very good at kind of calculating numbers quickly and understanding distress valuations and all that. He's like, you know, 3,000 years ago I wouldn't have been able to hunt, run. He's like, my genes would have died. But he's like, I have a unique set of genes that work domain specifically in the current century. So hang out with a Warren Buffett like dude, yes, he has the genetics and he pushes himself with free will, love. If you just suck, you can't find a mate, you can't find anyone, have kids with. Everybody cheats on you. Every leaves you. Well, once again getting around someone genetically good, looking good with the opposite sex also who has pushed themselves, there's a natural osmosis that happens. That's the whole basis of my, you know, 67 steps. Kind of the thing that made me first well known in the self help scene was this chat. GPT says it's like the number one online self help program in modern history. I don't know if that's true, but it's reached a lot of people still to this day. Everybody just, people come out, hey man, I got in this in 2014, changed my life. I was talking to a European guy's big wealthy dude. Now he's like, man, it all started with that 67 steps. And that was one of my main messages is that you learn by absorption by osmosis from other people. If you ain't happy, you better not be hanging around depressed people who have your same set of genes, which is what most people do by the way, and they get horrible outcomes, you know. Yeah, don't do that. Come on now, common sense here, if you, if you feel horrible, natural baseline low happiness when you wake up, why are you going to hang out with people like that? For sure. It's like entropy upon entropy, you know, entropy upon entropy. I'm not a fan of entropy meets entropy. You know, things degrading, devolving and you're just, oh by the way on the loved one, which is, it's interesting. A lot of my private clients that are very wealthy, some worth 100 million plus, I think one of them's now 100 million liquid. And he's a guy who started following me in 2019 when he essentially had, oh man, I mean he had seven thousand dollar a month salary. He's done well for himself, you know, he'd done well for himself. But anyway. What was I just saying? Anyway, I was looking at the map Where I'm walking now. Oh, yeah. So on love. This is an interesting one where I see some good advice online. You know, you got the red pill movement, the black pill. You got feminism. You got all these takes on the male, female dynamic, the trans movement, to this. It's all basically coming down to this same concept, which is effectively, but not scientifically, men and women are a different species. Right? That's. That's. There's a good famous book called John Gray. I once. I think I had him on my podcast. Right? Talk to him once. Interesting guy. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. That's how he said it. Politically correct. You know, they're. They're. They're like aliens to each other. I just say, you know, basically, my grandpa was a scientist who was a good taxonomist. You know, he classified a different famous. He's kind of a famous oceanographer, Martin D. Birkenrow, if you look him up on Wikipedia. But he classified shrimp. He's the scientist who discovered that prawns are different than shrimp. So next time you eat prawns in England, my grandpa. That was my grandpa's classification, that they were separate more than was thought before with shrimp. So anyway, the. Once you understand that men and women are essentially different species, then you'll understand that there will always be complexity. It's like Rudyard Kipling, the author of the Jungle Book, said, the famous writer, you know, west is west and east is east is east and west is west, and never the twain shall meet, meaning there are different species. He's talking about his experience living in India, which was Eastern culture, versus his experience growing up in the west or being an English man. And I think it's the same way. So there's some people that are genetically just really gifted at navigating the mating differences, the mating world we live in where you have Tinder and you have hinge and you got to find a mate now, and you have a world where there's a lot of evolutionary mismatches, meaning humans, men and women were never meant to see 10,000 beautiful people a year. It just destroys your ability to choose and settle down. Because with Instagram and Tinder, you just go on there and you're going to see beautiful people. Your ancestors probably saw, you know, three pretty people in their entire life, and they could marry one of them because they lived in the same village or something, or they could steal them in ambushes and slavery. You know, people used to have kids with their slave Roman Empire. All. All of these did. And so now have these complex mating world and. And it ends up where everybody freezes up. Nobody has kids anymore. Birth rates are crazy. I was looking at Spain. I think Spain is like 08. That means two people, mother and father only produce 0.8 of a child now, which is essentially slow extinction. Right. The only places, the places with massive birth rate is Africa. There's some countries, I forget which one has eight. A man and a woman on average are producing eight children. So, you know, if we exclude Africa and parts of Asia, the western world, northern Asia, Korea, South Korea is in a whole declining spiral. I think finland is like 1.2 or something. Sweden is, I think 1.6. America, I think is still under. You got to be at about 2.1 replacement rate as you have some depths of the children. So birth rate. But I think part of it just comes down to not understanding genetics, that your mating outcomes are emergent. They emerge out of the genetic cards that you were given. Beauty is a hard thing to change. And there's this whole, you know, there's a group of people like this guy's going viral clavicular. He's a looks maxing guy. And they show you how to, you know, some of them are doing surgery, breaking their legs to get. Become taller. Men, women don't do that very rarely, but men do now. It's a trend. And then, you know, women have been doing plastic surgery. And the thing is, is that in general, the risk return ratio for extreme looks maxing is not there. Meaning if you are a guy and you went from 5 foot 8 to 6 foot 2, you had to take a tremendous risk of infection. Multiple years of having your legs weakened from your fever and femur and tibula, I think they break or whatever. And so yeah, if you're six, go from five foot eight, six foot two for a dude, you will experience new mating opportunities. Maybe with women you find more attractive. Yet it doesn't fully solve the problem. You probably go forward three steps, but the risk is probably negative. You go backward four, so you end up at a negative one. There are some looks maxing things, by the way, that everybody should do, which is primarily keep your body fat relatively low. Men should be about 13. Body fat for maximum. You know, you could go lower. But the official point on the. The optimal point on the fishing frontier for men, right around 13. Meaning because I pushed myself, I've gotten down to like eight or nine. It's not that sustainable. You're always hungry. And women don't necessarily. It depends on the age of the women you know, but in general, women will find you almost as much as attractive at 13% as 9. And you can maintain 13 for a long time. Plus when you go down to 9%, you get weaker for sure. Without a doubt. I mean, max moves mass. The strongest men on earth, none of them are 9% ever. They're like 30%. There are 20, at least 25, I think. I've seen one of the power lifters, you know, it's like 18 or 19, but so you, by going down to nine, you also lose mating production value. Women also value a man who they perceive in their unconscious mind is able to fight off a robbery. And 9%, you know, is, is not, is not ideal. As I said, 13 is optimal point. If you can maintain 12, 13 as a man. And then women, you know, women often, but not always usually, even in previous cultures of relatively low body fat are considered more beautiful. There's, there's, you know, kingdoms in Africa in the past that had mass starvation and women who were chubby or were more attractive. But in general, you gain weight with age. And a proxy for youthfulness is relative, you know, lower body fat. So women, you know, if you go below 18 for a woman want to be, you start to, I'm thinking more BMI now, but not body fat. But you start not being able to reproduce. Like you stop having your cycle. So that's why men don't necessarily like hyper skinny women. They're the whisper of 10,000 generations of their ancestors. They learn, don't mate with the woman who's too skinny. You often can't have children, you know, she's too skinny. So women, I think, you know, it's this kind of 20 to 22 BMI. And BMI is not perfect because if you're a power lifter, extremely muscular. But the point being here is women can be higher. Body fat should be both biologically and from a sexual mating strategy perspective, whereas men should be moderately low. And that's it. That's all you got to do. That's the cool thing. That's all I was saying. Guys are looking at their genetics of a dude who's all shredded up, you know, he's shredded 8% body fat, so most of his abs are showing. But you could get almost the same bang for the buck with less brain damage, being that 12 or 13, and anybody can get to 13, even people who are, you know, mesomorphs, big, big guys, the rock, the Maoris, you can get down 13, 14 and, and hold it and hold it. But those big dudes are gonna really struggle to get down to like eight. Phil Jackson, I mean Pat Riley, the former coach of the Lakers, then he went to the Miami Heat. He used to make his guards in the offseason come in to practice preseason at like 6%. I think the centers had to come in at like 9 or 10. Big Shaq was like I had to get down to nine. But he didn't stay at nine. And those of course were making 30, 40 million a year playing basketball. So ignore what I'm saying. If you'll get paid 30 mil to drop into 8 body fat, then it's worth it. Then the risk. You always got to be thinking because the human brain is good. That's why I said when you think of your 10 lazy years, some of it you might be doing the trade offs and it's not worth it. So once you understand both the main points of today's episode, which is genetics is the story of human behavior and everything and everything else that we think is really emergent out of genetic baseline and then you understand that the good news is you only have to hit the optimal point on the Fisher frontier with money. That's a 1 to 10 million net worth. If you got 2 million and you live in Brazil, you probably live in a better life than a Dude who has 40 million living in Beverly Hills. From an experiential basis, most likely you could test what I'm saying. Ask chat TBT on an on a subjective happiness basis with a man who lives in, you know, Sao Paulo, Brazil or Curitiba, Brazil or Thailand. Making having 2 million liquid plus you know, whatever 300,000 net per year income versus a man worth 20 million who lives in, you know, billionaire row Manhattan or, or Beverly Hills. Who's most likely to be experiencing the most subjective happiness? Try it, you'll see Chad's UBC gonna back me up. They're gonna back me up. So the official frontier is like the only reason you want to be a billionaire is primarily because you're driven by status. Now this brings you to probably the most important website I've ever built, which is 12types.com. I got an app coming out. You can use it for dating or life and click on the four motivations quiz. You know, there are people genetically really dialed in and they genetically inherit seeking high status. So I understand why those people want to become billionaires if not because the material gain is a lot. But of course being on the Forbes list is a massive status gain. Being worth 10 million or 10 billion on a happiness on a health level. Of happiness only theoretical. Oh, sorry. When I look at health level of happiness, the only thing A guy making 10 billion obviously has more as wealth. Odds are his health's worse than a guy with 10 million. His love life worse. I've never met a billionaire good with women, by the way. Not even close. I would say they're subpar. The women they end up with are subpar. It's crazy. I will tell you from the inside, living on the inside of extreme wealth, I have seen never a rich dude good with women. Now if you exclude, let's say, let me put this. A rich businessman never, never at extremely. Well, I've seen guys worth 10 million, but. And I've seen, you know, DiCaprio I was at Rihanna has an annual charity party I've gone to. DiCaprio was there. But his he is wealthy. 300 million, I think. But that's not from business. That's from, you know, Titanic and stuff and maybe passive investments somebody else did for him. But just trust me on helpful love happiness. The only thing a guy has with 10 billion that the guy with 10 million doesn't have is wealth. Status happiness is probably lower too. Unless you're one of those extreme genetic variations that only gains happiness from status, which does exist but is relatively rare. Relatively rare. Most people are not. Don't exper. You know, when you understand genetic variation 1 to 100, there will be somebody who's a single parameter, contentment person. They're so far an outlier that they don't care about their health, their love, their happiness. They just care about wealth and the wealth makes them content, you know, but that's very rare. Odds are nobody listening to this podcast is in that category. Nobody. So I, you know, I want you to understand that you as a human being, okay, you as a human being must know thyself and the optimal point for thyself on each of those four pillars. If you do that, you're as wise as almost any human on earth, really. You become Solomon, a mini Solomon. Right? So let's go through them real quick. Health for man 13 body fat musculature without being muscle bound. Losing any coordination. The second you lose coordination, your thighs are too big that they rub together, cut back on muscle. You know, the second you can't scratch your own ear, I think the second you need steroids, you most people extreme cases, especially if you're under 45, you can get to optimal point on the Fisher frontier, which is 30% body fat with decent musculature without. And that's optimal wealth, 1 to 10 million liquid net worth, depending where you live. So if you're happy living in Sweden, you don't need more, you know, probably 4 mil liquid, 2 mil liquid. Even in Sweden, if you for some reason are trapped in Dubai, you probably, I think Dubai 1% is 16 million. I would say in general, move from Beverly Hills, move from Manhattan, move from Dubai, move from Monaco. Unless you're that genetic outlier. I would say who's cursed with Genesis that only is driven by material things and status. Material and mastery of a domain which I call status. I, I think, I think that's generally a curse. So don't be listening, go oh, that's me. I, I think that's not great. Those are the kind of genes you want to try to hypnotize in or one day there'll be some pill you take like Limitless. I saw that movie again, not a bad movie. Should have made a Limitless two. Did they make one? Anyway, now love. I think for most people the efficient frontier is someone, you know, you have high sexual attraction, but simultaneously because sexual attraction is basically bringing the physical genetics to your children, right? If you're not sexually attracted, it's probably because they don't have those classic things that you know, the man doesn't have the 150 body. I call it, you know, where the, the chest is a chest shoulders are 150 bigger than the waist. Some people struggle with that. Women, you know, 150% hip to waist ratio. But being 150 bigger, you know, these are classic markers, facial structures. You know, we all can kind of identify. Beauty is more objective than subjective than modern woke people try to portray. But you, so you want somebody that you have. But be careful of over emphasizing the classic physical attributes if you have to sacrifice because having a kid, which is the real reason people partner up and mate long term, even short term, you need, you want to be in your child's life. So if they're low on agreeableness, which is a hexaco, you know, archetype with four subsets, stop and take a little water break. You know, subset one of agreeableness is forgiveness. Be careful of having the child with somebody low on forgiveness because you're going to mess up and you don't want them to be holding it against you for five years, you know, then the other is gentleness. Do you want something to be gentle with your kids? You know, some people have kids with somebody who beats their kids. Just very low on gentleness. Then patience. You want somebody who's pretty patient, you know. And then the last one's flexibility, meaning not that stubborn. You want to be able to tell somebody like, hey, I don't think we should go on this trip that she had planned for a year because there was just a terrorist attack there. And they're like, okay, I'm flexible. So I would really emphasize low dark triad personality traits. The exploitative ones chart narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. Then high agreeableness, maybe high conscientiousness too. You know, conscientiousness isn't hexaco archetype that breaks down into four subsets which are organization, perfectionism, diligence and prudence. But I would say, you know, especially for a man, these are. I don't know, I would go exactly in the order that I said, you know, high sexual appeal to you. Remember, some of that is called the. Is emergent out of a genetic factor called the histio mean complex, meaning we will find different people physically and sexually attractive because we're looking for people who have a complementary histiome immune system. Complex, which is kind of an all encompassing word for our children, will have boosted immunities through some level of what's called hybrid vigor. Okay, so you see this in the Austrian Hungarian Empire where they were all inbreeding and they had this weird face, you know, this Hapsburg chin, which was very ugly. I was reading about the Egyptians, you know, King Tut was one of the famous tombs they discovered. King Tut, they think now probably died because his parents had an incestuous bad genetic mixing. You know, that whole Ptolemaic line. Or those Egyptians had mothers having kids with sons and daughters, fathers and brothers, more brothers, sisters, but really weird combos. So you want this physical attractiveness from the standpoint that there's actually. It's actually adaptive. I mean, it's useful. It's not just vanity to care about how someone looks. Modern world will try to convince you an extreme level that it's vanity, but it's not really, you know, it's. There's a reason and a rhyme to the fact that we care about how people looked. Now, as I said, though, you don't want to overweight. You're looking for the efficient frontier, the optimal point. So I've seen this with women. I've been. People have been following me. Have, you know, said ty. Yeah. Dated some most beautiful women on earth. I have, I think on an objective basis, you know much. And I'm sure some of that was from Status and money and things. And not that I'm the best looking guy on earth, but what I've seen is, is not enough, not enough for children. Short term mating maybe, but you know, you it definitely and now that I have kids, you know, the whole dynamic changes. So you really want somebody's gonna be good with your kids. This is a big deal, big. And so those traits are low dark triad. So you're not going to fight with them because they're not exploitative. They're not going to take advantage of you. That's what dark triad measures, exploitation. And then high on agreeableness, which is going even further. They're not only not exploitative, but they're also easy to get along with. And then I'd say lastly probably conscientiousness, you know, in the sense that conscientiousness predicts success overall. Organized, diligent, perfectionist, you know, prudent, wise. So you look for those traits kind of, I always say it's kind of 50, 50. You should weight who you're going to have children with on a weighting scale. Should be like, you should put their beauty. And so I'll give you an example. You just go 1 to 10. How physically attracted are you to them on just a raw basis if they never talked? So let's say I think a woman is a nine, you know, and then I look at the other personality archetypes, the dark triad, exploitation, agreeableness, maybe conscientiousness. And I then let's say they're six there. I would just do a simple, you know, average 6 plus 9 divided by 2 7.5. I don't like sevens. And just remember what I was going to say about beautiful women. You also have to factor in that when they have those genes, what personality traits emerge in their life out of being too good looking, oftentimes spoiled, got everything given to them. Also much more competitors, right? So you'll have more competition. You'll have to worry she'll be pursued. I once almost beautiful women in the world live with me in Hollywood. We weren't even dating, but she was. It's funny, she wasn't that beautiful to me. But I've never for sure. Like she used to go grocery shopping, then come home 10 minutes later. Like people knock on my door, they'd be like pro athletes, Lakers, Dodgers, like does she live here? Who are you like bro, I never follow a woman. But whoever that girl was anyway. But you know, she's very attractive yet you know, I think there was when you looked at other things, the conscientious factors, the prudence, and just the fact that gonna have to deal with every dude in the world wanting your girl, your wife every day. Like it is probably an efficient frontier for women beauty or male beauty that you want. Women know this intrinsically. That's why a lot of women, like, I don't want a pretty boy, they say, you know, I don't want someone prettier than me. But really, women are saying, I don't want a one man who every girl at the gym every day is throwing themselves at, you know, so you have to factor in. By the way, I was talking to Dr. David Buss recently, and there's a super interesting concept called. It's basically, it's. How do I say this? It's the load of its relationship load score. So we also calculate relationship load. One of the loads would be someone's too beautiful. You know, you always are worried. It's called mate guarding. Your natural mate guarding impulse will be triggered continually. Which doesn't feel good to be jealous, right? Also, relationship load, you got to factor in, do they have crazy friends that you have to be around or relationship loaded? Do they have children from other people? That's in doctor. This is kind of the newest work from the famous Dr. David Buss. You know, his relationship load. I think he's published two papers, if you want to look it up. It's a very interesting concept. So we're looking for physical. We're looking for physical pros, we're looking for personality pros, and we're also looking to avoid relationship load negatives. So as I said, you know, mating is in many ways the most complex, which makes sense since, as I told you, the purpose of the universe from a physicist standpoint, is the increase in complexity until entropy is reached. So when you give birth, ideally, you're improving genetics. That's why humans have sexual mating. Not all things do. Earthworms don't, ferns don't. You know, there's asexual hermaphroditic type sexuality. But humans, because you can offset weaknesses, we are sexual, meaning two different sexes come together and hopefully your children get the best of both and leave behind the worst. Don't always quite work that way. Remember, people get confused on this. Brothers, sisters from the same mom and dad. They're not exactly the same because you get a random 50 of your mom and dad each time a child's born. Unless you're identical twins, of course. So it's, it's a. It's a gamble. But hopefully you know, it, it fulfills the universal point which is in increasing complexity or, or improvement, you know, is probably in this holographic string theory that, that is. Hello, how are you? Yeah, and so, you know, children is a big. It would make sense that one of the highest stakes decisions you ever make is not what gym you choose, even what career you choose, even what hobby to be happy you choose. It would be your mate. And so you can see there's probably the most disinformation on social media. You know, I think although this sounds narcissistic, I think I've, I am somebody who synthesizes probably as best as we know. I, I think that I'm a synthesizer. That means I am good at taking the best ideas from geniuses who spend their whole life on one subject and weaving it together. It's a great book on this called range the Power of Being of Generalists. How Generalists Take over the World. Of course you do want specific domain authority and skill, but I'm more of a generalist synthesis sizer. And I think what I'm telling you is probably what's considered a synthesized version of the most accurate understanding of meeting that we yet know. 100 years from now we'll know a lot more. But based on now, what I'm telling you is it, it makes sense that probably the most confused part of modern world is dating and mating and children. You, you see tremendous, you know, Elon Musk thing he rants about the most almost is that civilization disappearing because people aren't having kids. You know, that's the biggest threat. Which, yes or no, I mean that's not a problem in Africa where there some countries have eight children. The birth coefficient is 8:2. Mom and dad on average have eight children. But certainly it's the biggest threat or one of the big threats of the western world. There's counter arguments to that, but I would say it's the greatest area of confusion that is very accurate, you know, so I think that, you know, by the way, if you're happily married with kids, consider yourself got a stroke of luck. But remember your kids and grandkids are going to have to navigate a complex world. So have them listen to this podcast. I, I think that this is, you know, it's not. Look, I don't always give simple answers which a lot of people want. People don't listen to me who like super simple answers, although sometimes I oversimplify, but on my podcast I don't. So you really got to go. You ever got to say yourself, okay, what am I doing here on Earth in these four domains? I'm part of a universe. The purpose of the universe is to turn information into knowledge. From the 2D holographic world, string theory, to the 3D world of your everyday life in an increase in complexity. That's adaptive, meaning it's getting more productive, better. You could say, I hate to use the word better, but that's probably a good way to think about it. How do you do that? And then from there, okay, how does it emerge into practical life, into knowing your, your limits. A man got to know his limits. Who's. That's a famous saying. I forget who, who said that, but I really believe that. And when he says limits, what does it mean? He means genes. A woman got to know her limits. You know, you're not just going to be able to do one strategy, inflating your lips or men getting a Lamborghini or something. A single strategy, while it may create some change, it doesn't get you the end result. The purpose of life, which is continual progression until entropy, which is personal. Entropy is death. All right, and then what happens after that? You'll have a new quest. You'll have a new quest. So spread good messages, you know, to yourself and to others. I, when I was first building my Tai Lopez brands, I kind of said I gotta have a one sentence mission statement, you know. And mine was we spread good ideas. And that's what I'm trying to do with today's episode on. That's what I'm trying to do to myself. Spread good ideas into my mind. Deprogram or deconstruct life. That was one of my first, my first slogans before social media, I was even on social media. I wanted to deconstruct life and then reconstruct it properly. Purposeful. That's what the purpose of this two hour podcast is like. Deconstructing maybe non adaptive false beliefs that you have things that don't hold up to scrutiny and in replacing them, you know, you probably have under emphasized genes or some of you have over emphasized genetics thinking that if your genetics aren't good that you can't, you're just paralyzed. Oh, I don't have the genes to make money. Well, you probably could still make a million bucks. I mean I think you could, you probably couldn't make a billion, but you make a million. That's pretty good. You know, I think somebody who's even mentally handicapped, you know, could probably make, you could probably. Look, if you make 200, 000, if you have 200, 000 in your bank and you live in Brazil, you're in the top 5%. So you'd have to move, but you'd be in top 5% of wealth. Because I think even somebody somewhat mentally handicapped could make 200 grand, you know, if they were trained right. So I think the genetic message is one of temperance, which I think is valuable. Temperance means not trying to do too, too, too big or too small, the middle way. That's what Aristotle, the founder of modern science, said. You know, he called it eudaimonia, which is kind of, I call it the good life, but it's the content life. And eudaimonia comes out of the middle way. He said it's easy in life to be angry, but to be angry at the right person at the right time, for the right reason, for the right duration, this is difficult. He was saying temperance in all things, to know that maybe you don't have great genes for health or wealth or love or happiness, but to realize you got good enough genes, you are the product of the survivors, 10,000 generations of humans that have gone before you. It's interesting. If you look at modern science, they can look at the, you know, XY chromosome, they can see that, or the X and the Y, you know, the kind of that they can see on the male chromosome that all men, all humans are descended of only 40% of men. Meaning the fact you're here, you come from the minority of men who want at life, you know, so even those person listening who goes, oh, I don't have great genes for health or wealth or love or happiness. You got better than you think because you're here. That's called the anthropic principle. There's the weak and the strong anthropic principle in physics. It basically means, I mean, I'll oversimplify here. The fact that you're here and only the winning men had children that reproduce means you by definition, a priori, right? There's a priori logic, a postiori. By a priori logic, you have better genes than you probably realize. So I was just saying, when I said you might not have the genes, I'm saying on a relative basis, I have good. If you're listening, you pretty much have good genes in health of love, happiness on a relative scale compared to the health of Ronaldo, you and I probably don't have the best genes, but good on an objective basis, not on a relative basis to the extreme outliers that you see on social media wealth, you know, you and I have probably above average if we look back the last 10,000 generations, ability to make money. Not relative to, you know, Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder, but relative to the last thousands of generations of your ancestors. Love. You know, you may not have the best genes, but you weren't the worst genes, or else there wouldn't be any reproduction happening. Happiness, you probably, you might not be the happiest, but the people who are extreme suicidal are gone, you know, so you're happier than you think. You're happier than you think. So keep your head up, my boy or my lady, and understand that you most likely will win and can win. What you need is the proper information put into action so that it becomes knowledge. Knowledge is accurate information put in action. And if you struggle with putting things into action, you're a procrastinator. That's your cue to get social. Having some other human assist you, guide you, coach you, mentor you, push you, or a group of people. Okay, this is it. It's much. What I just gave you is kind of a. They called these. You know, Einstein was always searching for this kind of formula that explained all of physics. You know, the grand theory of everything. I think this, if I might be so bold, is a good attempt at the grand theory of human life. What I've said and how to navigate it. No matter the genes you were born with or not born with, no matter the location, the city, skin color, gender, all that that people talk about too much, you know, this is the theory, and it's backed by real science. And that means it's duplicatable, meaning if you do it, it's kind of like making an omelet. You got that recipe, that's information on a 2D page. You turn it into knowledge, which is that information in action. Put the eggs in the. In the, in the bowl. You crack them. Yeah, a little milk, you know, you get it in there, you add your cheese, you add your meat, whatever, your veggies like, it comes to life. And if you suck at cooking, you get a cooking coach. You get someone who shows up and they're like, I just go along with me. And as you watch them cook, you're like, that ain't so hard. And so you could fix 10 lazy years in just six months of using this grand theory of everything. Okay, so you might want to listen to this twice. Might want to listen to this twice.

Podcast: The Tai Lopez Show
Host: Tai Lopez
Episode: #746 - Ten Lazy Years Can Be Erased With Six Focused Months
Date: December 1, 2025
Theme:
Tai Lopez dives deep into the idea that even a decade of unproductive or 'lazy' living can be redeemed with six months of focused, deliberate effort. Drawing on business philosophy, genetics, and the nature of success, happiness, and self-awareness, Tai breaks down practical frameworks for self-improvement and analyzes how much of our outcomes are shaped by innate strengths, weaknesses, social dynamics, and bold honesty about our limits.
“Everything you accomplished is your strengths and everything you couldn't pull off is your weaknesses, right?” (01:30)
"It's easy for them to say because those two dudes are naturally good at the money making at pillar two… But it's not true for people who have a weakness." (19:25)
"People just take this so narcissistically and go, no, Ty, my mom told me I can do anything. No, you can't. If you're 4'1, you ain't playing pro basketball." (1:26:35)
“The only thing a guy has with 10 billion that the guy with 10 million doesn’t have is wealth. Status happiness is probably lower too...” (1:57:00)
“You learn by absorption by osmosis from other people. If you ain’t happy, you better not be hanging around depressed people who have your same set of genes...” (1:40:50)
“You as a human being must know thyself and the optimal point for thyself on each of those four pillars. If you do that, you’re as wise as almost any human on Earth, really.” (1:48:35)
“Know thyself and the optimal point for thyself on each of those four pillars. If you do that, you’re as wise as almost any human on earth, really.” – Tai Lopez (1:48:35)
