all right this has been one of my
favorite weeks and it's been one of my
favorite weeks for a reason that's
probably very counterintuitive for
everybody it's because I've been tested
last week I was sick I don't know if it
was the flu food poisoning whatever it
was but I had my ass handed to me I was
sleeping like 12 13 hours a night which
for me is absolutely unheard of and then
this week I had three episodes to
prepare for we shot them in less than 48
hours so uh over the course of just a
couple of days I had to jam-pack my
brain full of three incredible human
beings Mel Robbins Jason Silva and Y
clef Jean it was insane and entailed
doing an absolute [ __ ] ton of work but
this is what I love this is where I get
to earn my reputation with myself I talk
about earning credibility with yourself
all the time and the only chance you get
to do that is when things get
[Music]
hard I actually write the intro usually
last not dead last but once I've done
the bulk of their um research is the
intro is really how I begin to
synthesize everything that I've learned
about that person so um once I'm able to
write the intro then I know that I
actually understand them we just rocked
out an amazing episode of impact the he
was incredible freestyled it's
unbelievable so see you guys every time
I make a
run peace out I'm never impressed with
myself how I act when things are easy
and I'm very impressed with myself when
things are hard so I'm always actually
looking for those moments when things
are difficult when I know that I'm
willing to put in a level of work that
other people just aren't willing to put
in that I'm willing to spend hour after
hour after hour researching people
having two people on the same day that
each will require a day or a day and a
half of research so spending my entire
weekend working on it working on it
literally until the minute I go to bed I
was listening to podcasts and interviews
as I'm brushing my teeth literally
making my wife put the dogs away so that
I could take every possible second every
transitional moment everything to drink
in a little bit more knowledge and then
synthesize all of that stuff so that I
could do an interview that nobody else
is going to be able to do and that for
me is what everybody should be doing if
you want to do something great if you
want to stand out and I want this
[ __ ] show to stand out if you want to
be able to pull that off you've got to
work harder than anybody else there's no
substitute for that and that is the
thing that I love that is what I love
about hard work most people just aren't
willing to do it so if you want to
separate yourself from everybody else
get better than everybody else and when
you're willing to put in that work when
you actually hunger for moments like
this where you get to show
yourself cuz [ __ ] everybody else I don't
care what they think I want to know for
myself who I am and how hard I'm willing
to work so when you get these moments
take advantage of them when they come
when you have a hard road in front of
you hit it with enthusiasm hit it with
excitement hit it knowing that on the
other side of that you get to feel a
certain way about yourself that other
people will never get to feel in their
lives because it's the way that only
people who push when no one's watching
get to feel about themselves that's when
you'll really be extraordinary that's
when you really do something that's when
you will surpass everyone around you
because you just did the work you look
forward to the test you wanted to be
pushed you wanted to see what you're
made of that's what it's about
