What's happening people? Welcome back to the show. It is a 2,000,000 subscriber q and a episode. You already got to see me kind of do a touchy feely thing with a behind the scenes vlog. If If you didn't watch that, you should go and check it out. But as is tradition, I ask for questions from Twitter and YouTube community and Instagram. We got a lot. And these ones are really, really insightful. I'm I I don't think I've had as many awesome questions before.

So as the show gets bigger, the audience appears to be getting smarter as well. So hooray. Let's get into it. Spunky Kumar. Spunky Kumar. How do you know who your real friends are? That's a good question. I guess, I realized in my twenties that a lot of the people that were my friends were actually just drinking partners. There were people who went to the same events as me and drank at the same times as me, but if I was sober or if there wasn't something super simulating happening, I I don't know how much I would enjoy.

I wasn't finding myself spending time around them. So I guess a good question to ask yourself is, do you spend time around them when it's just you? When there isn't a ton of other stimulation? Because what if the only time that you can ever hang with people is if you go to a festival or if you go and watch a movie or if you something crazy is going on, how deep is that connection, and how much are they just an available observer that can accompany you to like a chaperone. They're kinda like a chaperone for each other. So your real friends are the people that you would happily spend time with them in the most boring situation possible. I think that's a good judge of, of how close you are. Benjamin Doron. How can you work hard and push if you don't see results immediately? Would love tips. Well, this is ultimately everything.

When you start doing a thing, for the most part, the gains accrue very slowly. There's some things where it doesn't, like going to the gym is pretty good because noob gains are pretty high or skill acquisition, physical skill acquisition is always pretty quick in the beginning. You start playing pickleball and you're never gonna be as good over the space of 10 sessions as the first 10 because you didn't even know the rules when you turned up. But largely, when you start doing a thing, the results tend to be pretty slow. And then as you get better and better and better over time the results will come more quickly. My solution, it's so trite to say it, but that motivation is the thing that gets you started and then habit is the thing that keeps you going. Once you begin a routine of doing anything, stopping yourself from doing that routine, whether it's good or bad, actually becomes really difficult. I'm training first thing in the morning at the moment.

If I don't train, my day feels off. It's it's genuinely harder for me to not go to the gym than it is to go to the gym at 7:40 am in the morning. So my advice would be use as much motivation, whether that comes from wanting to be better, resentment for the people that have scorned you in the past, this desire to prove yourself. Use whatever fuel you have, both good and bad, to get yourself moving, and stay as consistent as possible. And then, after you get to the stage where results will begin to come, you should have already got that routine thing going too. So for me, results not coming in the beginning is hopefully solved by the fact that your motivation is at its highest and then as motivation begins to wane, you should have the, habituated, routine to come and sort of take over from there.

Actually, I I think so. I think we all find people who we feel like we're going to vibe with. You know, we we we get on with people who share our values and who we think, well, this is gonna be a fun conversation. You know, they they think this thing and I think this thing and you know, I'd love to teach them about this idea because I think they'd be really interested in it. As opposed to someone who has a completely different worldview and you're kind of speaking different languages. Do I think that it would be a better world where the show had more people on who challenged my worldview? I don't really know what that would mean. Like, I'm open to pretty much anybody saying anything at me. And I guess it specifically means what worldview we're talking about.
