So when I was like 35 years old, for about a year, I asked everybody anywhere I went, what's most important to you in life? What else is the most important?

That's how you find out what people value most, right? And I was looking for that ideal set of values that if we could all do that, It just shows, you know, my level of development at 35, right? Thinking we all have one set of values. At different stages of life, we need to value different things. There are different lessons. There are predictable things that happen from zero to 21, not identical for everyone, but there's certain things.

You're accumulating knowledge and skill. You're, you know, if you're lucky, someone's looking out for you. Most people have someone looking out for at least for a period of that time. You go to 22 to 42. Now you're testing what you were taught. All the things you were taught to believe. And then you find out, shit, relationships are a little more complex than I thought when you get into a deep, intimate one, right? And then you discover, well, shit, I'm not invincible.

And so 22 to 42, if you work at it, you're the soldier of society and you're learning and you're growing and you're testing and now you're developing who you are. 43 to 63 roughly, in 20-year segments. Some people, you know, I went to work when I was 11 years old, right? So I didn't start at 21. But you get the idea of the overall phases of life. But 43, 63, that's your power period if you worked hard in the first two seasons. If you planted in the spring and you took care of things during the summer and kept growing, then it's fall for you.

That's the time when you have the greatest reaping in terms of business success, in terms of life, in terms of wisdom, in terms of understanding, and you get better in your relationships and you stop judging yourself so insanely, hopefully. And then from 64 to 84 to 104 to the old's living humans, you know, 120, that's a different period. That's a period in which if you've done well in the beginning, you get to be the elder of the tribe, and you get to be in a place where you get to mentor people

and you want to, and it's not about you anymore because you live enough life to know that that's an empty promise. You know, there's only so much feelings you're going to have for yourself, you know, buying things or music or drugs or sex or whatever, there's, you start to realize life has a higher and deeper purpose and it's about something more than me. Life's not about me, it's about we. And when that starts to happen to people, if they're healthy, if they took care of themselves in those first three stages, it's the most fulfilling time of life.

All the research shows, most fulfilling if you're healthy. So that's kind of the race track of life and in gross sense of things. And then there's, every one of us goes to those stages and we have different life experiences, but we also are placed in a different place in history. So right now we're in winter. It's not hard to figure this out. If I asked you, you know, if you were born in 1910 and, you know, what's life like as your coming of age at 21? Well, that's when, you know, 1929's when the stock market crashed and people jumping out of building. So these people that saw World War I end as children and we were the heroes and they saw all this new technology, radio and TVs and cars thought they're going to party.

And right when they came of age, all hell broke loose for that 21 to 42. Because once the Depression was done, then we went into World War II. But that particular generational location duplicates every 80 years. That's where millennials are right now and some Z generation. That generation, by the way, was not respected. They were called flappers. They were irresponsible. But when the environment changed, they grew.

And they became known as the greatest generation. But think about, they came home and had this time of prosperity of peace, the late 40s, 50s, until Kennedy was shot in 63. Those are unique times. That's kind of springtime. It's easy to grow. Then there's the hot summer where there's fights within generations and values within the country. And that's, think about the 60s and 70s.

And then the 80s, 90s, 2000s, very different than the 60s and 70s. So we're now in winter. Winter just means, it doesn't mean every day is a bad day. It just means the overall theme is fear. The overall theme is limitation. And people will get exhausted of it, just like they got exhausted of the 80s and the 90s of go, go, go. And it's all going to be me get rich. and it's all about me, me, me, me.

Now, those times are over, that gets exhausted. Winter, we're about halfway through it if you study history. No one knows exactly what it is. The 20-year segments I'm giving you are generalizations. But we still got probably some war to deal with. That's usually what happens. There's economic war. And then there's war that's seen on a world stage.

And so we see what's happening now in Russia, what's happening in China. It might be a different kind of war. It might be a war that's turning off your electricity. it might be a cyber war, but we're going to go through some difficult times. But on the other side of it is spring. So the beauty is, you know, some winters along, some are short. Some are hard, some are easy, but you never skip winter. You don't go from fall and reaping straight to spring.

But when you go through winter and get strong, now new springtime happens. If you do well in winter, if you take care of yourself and get strong, that's my goal to help people with right now. My goal is like, how do you help people right now? That's why, by the way, I'm doing the challenges that I'm doing now, because since COVID happened, people were stuck at home as like, how can I help a mass number of people? And I don't want money to be in the way. I don't want anything to be in the way. So I do a five day challenge about two, usually sometimes three hours a day. I tell them one and a half, two hours, but I want to give more.

I charge nothing for it. And we have, in the last three years, a million people participate in each one of these things. And it's free. I'm just showing people what to do with their body, what to do with their mind, what do with their emotion, what do with their relationship, what to do with their business. Because winter is scary for most people with a career or business. You know, you see all layoffs happening in the tech business. You see the challenges we've all gone through from COVID and now new challenges with inflation. All this is coming. So what are you going to do? Give up. Well, some people are going to hope that's no strategy. Some are going to give up. Other people are going to retool themselves. And so that's my skill set. I'm made for winter. So that you become more

unshakable. And what I mean by unshakable is it's not that nothing bothers you. It's just that when everybody else is freaking out, you have perspective. You know how to take advantage of the situation. You have a plan. You know what to do. Because financially, these times are the best times in the world to make money. You know, the Depression, more people became millionaires than the Depression than any time in history. You know, John F. Kennedy's father, Joe Kennedy, you know, you had $3 million in 1929.

You had $62 million in equivalent of $3 billion three years later. Because when things are going rough, people give up and freak out, an opportunity shows up for those that keep their head straight. So whether it's your relationship or whether it's your body or whether it's your finances, I've spent a lifetime collecting the best strategies and tools, The simple way I always describe it is there's two skills you've got to master to have life on your terms.

To have an extraordinary life, to me an extraordinary life is life on your terms. It's not my life. So what is it for you? For some people, that's, you know, a white picket fence and three children. For some people, it's building a big business. For some people, it's being an author. It's like so many different things, poetry, music. So everybody's got to find it is what it is that they really love.

But the skills you got to master to have life on your terms is, one, the science of achievement. That's what you're describing. How to take what I envision and make it real? And those are strategies, and they are proven strategies. There are certain rules of the game, if you want to be healthy and you want a lot of energy. Everyone's biochemically slightly different, but there's certain rules. If you violate them, you're going to have low energy and dis-ease. If you align with them, you're going to have enormous energy and strength.

Same thing around finance. Anyone can grow financially, but most people don't learn the basic fundamentals. And so they're missing the strategy. So that's strategy-driven, and I spend a good portion of my life teaching people that. But then the second part is what creates lasting fulfillment. And lasting fulfillment, as you said, I always say progress equals happiness. If we're not making progress, they're not happy. But it doesn't require progress every moment and noticing it either.

That's another catch-all. That's my lifestyle and your lifestyle, right? Our lifestyle is the formula that you described. But the really ultimate formula besides progress is appreciation because you can make progress and then I'll always have to make progress each moment to be happy. So we do need to grow. What you said is true. fundamentally. Everything in the world grows or dies. Everything universe contributes or it's

eventually eliminated, you know, by nature. So those aren't my laws. Those are the laws of nature. However, happiness only requires that you are grateful. If you've got a billion dollars and three beautiful children that love you and a beautiful husband or wife, but it doesn't matter what you have if you're not grateful, if you live in an emotional home, a habitual pace of worry your frustration, your life's called worry and frustration. So you can be making progress and still be worried and frustrated. So it isn't quite just what you said. You have to also develop a new decision that says, I'm going to live a different life. I have a vision for my life spiritually, and that vision spiritually is I'm going to live in a beautiful state no matter what. That doesn't

mean I'm never going to get upset or frustrated or pissed off. It just means I got a 90-second rule that I'm going to get out of that as fast as possible and solve it from a beautiful place so that I'm adding value to the people around me and myself. So my own biochemistry gets the benefit of that. And so that doesn't mean that you're always making progress. I love progress. I think progress equals happiness. But it isn't the only secret to that. It's really, can you train your brain to appreciate? Because in the middle of whatever you're pissed off about or frustrated or fearful about or worried about, you're deleting all the things you could be grateful for, you can appreciate that are absolutely real. And that's the problem with the mind. I want your,

listeners or viewers to really think about this. You do not experience life. You experience the life you focus on. That's it. If you focus on what's wrong, what's wrong is always available. So is what's right. And so our focus produces our meanings and emotions which produce the actions of our life. So it really starts with the patterns of your focus. Do you tend to focus on what you have or what's missing? Most achievers that are looking to make progress, I've dealt with millions of them over the years, as you all know. I'm one, you're one, right? Most achievers, that progress thing is really important. They're like, oh, we've got to have the next thing. Well, that's really wonderful, but it's only one way of doing things. And so it's like saying to yourself, wait a second,

I'm going to, whether there's progress or not, I'm going to find the good in this. I'm going to find the great in this. And what that does is it produces a different fuel to live your life from. And from that fuel, it's easy to make progress. You know, I used to tell myself, I got really pissed off. my brain gets really sharp and fast and figures the answers. Well, that's true. But when I'm really in a great state, my brain is fast and crick and I enjoy it and people around me enjoy it. So it's also deciding how you're going to be, not just what you're going to do.

And I think the combination of those is where the quality of life that people are really looking for shows up. I'll give you a formula. If you want to know what makes people happy at the most basic level, when your life conditions match your blueprint, when your life conditions are what you're expecting, not your ultimate dream, but when you meet your basic expectations, you're happy. If your life conditions are better than you expected, you're over the moon. If your life conditions don't match your blueprint, your expectations, you have pain. If your life conditions don't match your blueprint and you believe

I'm unable to change it, it's something wrong with me, or it's a permanent problem, or it's pervasive, or it's personal. You know, you get into learned helplessness, then you're going to suffer. And so nothing is permanent, not even the body is permanent. Certainly no problem is permanent. Your soul might be the only thing that might be permanent, right? So it's really helping people to understand that when the life conditions change, your blueprint has to change with it. Either like, if you're not happy, you either have to change your life or change your blueprint,

your expectations. Usually it requires a combination of those two. So often what you say people are sliding is their life conditions changed. And then what they were doing wasn't enough to make them feel the way we wanted to feel. And so then they adapted to an old style of coping. They went back to smoking or drinking or eating or yelling at people or whatever the pattern may be. But that's because they didn't continue to grow. And so that's why it's not a static thing with me.

I teach people not just, okay, you're going to make these changes in your values. It's like you've got to look at your life conditions change. You're going to make that happen. As you hit different stages of life, you're going to have to make those decisions. And people don't, everybody wants their life to be better, but no one wants to change. Right. So we have to keep changing was the life. conditions change, we got to update our blueprint, our values, our beliefs, our rules about how to play

the game, and we have to update our behaviors to adapt to where the environment is. If you don't do that, you're in trouble. There are many people during COVID who was the most horrific experience. There are many people to learn to use COVID, not like COVID used them. They grew their businesses. They expanded their mind. They shifted their emotions. They did things they never would have done. Other people gained 20 pounds, right? So it's all a matter of do you adapt to the life conditions? And do you learn how to learn? Because this isn't a one-time thing. Oh, I did this thing.

I went and worked out for a weekend. Now I'm pumped. Well, great. How long is that going to last? You're going to have to continue to use that and have a daily practice. Otherwise, you, of course, go back. And that's the biggest missing thing. I teach people daily practices that can't take what they've learned and make it ongoing in their life

as opposed to, wow, I had this great weekend. If you look at a person's life, most people major and minor things. Jim Rohn and my teacher used to say that to me. me all the time, meaning they know about all kinds of things that don't matter. But there's maybe a half dozen things that matter most. There's your body. There's your emotions. There's your relationships.

There's your finances. There's your career or your sense of mission or your business. And then there's the spiritual side of life. And so I've always taught on all those areas. I'm a big believer in total immersion, but I also believe in modeling the best on Earth. So in Money Master the Game, fortunately, I have access. So it's like, I'm going to interview 50 of the smartest financial people on earth. and everybody who's made it from nothing to multi-billionaire.

And they all did it different ways. And I'm good at pattern recognition and I'm good at pattern utilization. In fact, I would say to your audience, you know, in 2040, which sounds like a long way from now, 18 years ago like that, your mind will be blown. Half the jobs we have today, according to Oxford and a variety of other universities, are going to be gone. They're replaced by robotics, by algorithms. You know the game.

And so the bottom line is you need to be good at pattern recognition. and that's what gets somebody strong at anything. I mean, look at, you know, why is Amazon doing so well? He realized one pattern was valued over anything else, convenience, right? If you look at Tom Brady, a friend of mine, he's got pattern recognition like nobody else at 43 years old. He's able to do things no one dream could be done. He's got more Super Bowl rings than any team. So I said, I want to go to the best people on earth and see what do they see that none of us see.

What's the pattern? Then you've got to learn pattern utilization. It's one thing to see it. It's nothing to use. And then if you're good after a while, you get to pattern creation. It's like if you learn to play the piano, most people play other people's music. And there's a point you've learned so much that you're able to create. And I think those three skills are the most important skills.

So I look at the areas that matter most and say, who already has that extraordinary pattern recognition utilization? So I go to Ray Dalio, who's, you know, return more money to investors than anyone alive, you know, he's going to have a different level of understanding than the average person. And because I immerse myself so much, most of these interviews are supposed to be able to be able to Most of these interviews are supposed to be 30 minutes. And the average one was three and a half hours. And so, but like Ray Dalio is now dear friend of mine, I can pitch and catch with him because I came so overprepared. And because I could, again, not just catch the ball he threw, but pitch it back.

And so to me, that's what I did. I did for total immersion. It was a three and a half year project. And then expanded. I wrote, you know, unshakable after that because I saw what was going to happen in the markets and I wanted people prepared. And that's why I'm doing life force right now. Life Force was driven because I've always taught health. elements. You and I both are both kind of biohackers in our lives. I have to be. You know, my average

seminar is 12 or 13 hours a day. I go four days minimum. Over the last few years, I've had all these groups that measure Olympic athletes and professional athletes measure me. And to give you an idea, I burn 11,300 calories and one day on stage. No one believe, I didn't believe it either, but I do. I burn 4,000 before I get on stage. Chessmasters burn 4,000 without moving. So that's basically what happens. But I also, to give me an idea, I push my body, you know lactic acid. If you're running with a friend and you get where you can't speak anymore, you're at a four of lactate. I'm in an 18 of lactate and still speaking. They just couldn't believe it. I have 15 pounds more of lean body mass than the average lineman does than the NFL. So the demands, I jump a thousand

times in a day on average, is what they measured. I weigh 22 pounds. So they're explaining to me every time I come down, it's four times your body weight. So a thousand times a thousand is a million pounds of pressure per day, and I've been doing that for 45 years. So if you saw my bone density, they showed a graph, and they go, these are humans, these are the greatest Olympic athletes, this is something we never measured before. It's 99.99.99% stronger than anything they've measured of any human.

So those demands are huge, but then, you know, I'm still not infallible. So I go snowboarding, and I'm chasing a 22, year old, which the age isn't as much as the skill, a lot more skill than I had. And oh my God, I had an accident. I tore my rotator cuff so bad, 9-9 pain, wouldn't go away. Went to all the doctors. He needs surgery. What's the recovery time, four to, you know, four months to six months. I'm like, I have friends who still can't bring their shoulder down. And I've had a one to injure it. And so I went and looked around. And it's what started me really on this is I said, okay, what are my other options? What about stem cells? I met Dr. Bob Harari.

He's kind of like one of the founders of stem cells. I know him well. He did those original studies that he took old rats and gave him young rats blood. We've all heard about it now and vice versa. And the old rats got young and young rats got old kind of vampire stuff. But as a result, they discovered stem cells and what they could do. And Bob said, Tony, you won't get them here. Go to this place in Panama.

You'll get four day old stem cells that are from the core. They're not obviously fetal cells in any way I wouldn't do that. And I went down in the first day. I felt okay. The second day I felt really tough. I had the third day. I woke up, not only was my shoulder perfect, and I mean perfect in three days. I could do anything with it.

I've never having, I've had the MRI, but I had had spinal stenosis for about 14 years. And I woke up for the first time of my life without back pain. I want to know everything about breakthroughs in medicine. I want to know precision medicine. I want to know regenerative medicine. And then I was invited by the Pope to come speak. Believe it or not, the Pope has the biggest stem cell conference in the world. He does it every two years.

And I got invited to be the cleanup speaker in a four-day person. I was like, I'm not just going to do cleaners because I'm going to go attend the whole thing. And I met docs doing things that you would think are going to happen 20 or 30 years in the future. Sounds like total future stuff that's happening either right now or in the next 24 to 366 months. So I've spent the last three years, anything, 165 different doctors, Bob and Nobel Prize winners. Bob Harare co-wrote the book with me along with Peter Diamandis, both her MDs. Peter's a rocket scientist as well. And so together we put this book together so that I could do the same thing, bring people the very

very best of what to do now. What are your alternatives? What are your choices? What's proven? What's not yet, but what's coming? And I'm real excited about it. It's a book. I really wrote it not only for the person who's reading it, but I don't know about you. Every day of my life at the stage of my life, I have a lot of friends and a lot of people I know, I get a call from somebody who's got, you know, they've had a stroke or somebody's got cancer and that's terminal supposedly. And, you know, I've seen him turn around again and again. Or somebody's in a position where, you know, they've got a parent who's got Alzheimer's, and they don't know what to do. And so I put in one book, the greatest answers from the greatest scientists on earth of what's available right now,

as well as what's coming in the short term. Not the long term. Who knows the long term? Long term of all kinds of pieces. But I'm excited to bring it to people. When it comes out on February 8, people can pre-order it. It's called Lifeforce. This is it. Dr. David Sinclair from Harvard is probably the number one expert in the world. There's something called Yamanaka Factors, which is a way of turning on the body's original systems. You know, we all know that we have, as time goes by, you know, you have, most people are familiar with their DNA, but of course, DNA or your genome, that is not your destiny. What matters is the system that runs that.

And so if you're, the epigenome is what's that called if people aren't familiar with it. And the epigenome gets messed up, meaning as time, radiation, bad food, bad lifestyle. It irritates. And all of a sudden, the communication is not. so clear, but there are ways of restoring it. So they restored three out of four of these Yamanaka factors just recently at Harvard University, and they took mice that are blind. Now, they had glaucoma, so the nerves are gone. And they reversed the aging. And they can see again. It's the first time in history. The nerves actually re-grew? There's gene therapies right now of people

that are being able to see again for the very first time. I mean, there's something called the Wint Pathway you may have heard of, WNT Pathway. I heard about this for the the first time three and a half years ago when I was at the Vatican. This man walks out. And, you know, I'm sitting beside Sanjay Gupta, who is a pretty informed guy, a really great guy, and Dr. Oz are both good friends of mine. And he's research and he's really quiet. There's no hype. And then he starts to describe how they, you know, figured out the code of the wind pathway. And the wind pathway, after you're born, in the first seven to ten days, if you cut off a child's finger and you don't sew it back up, you'll regrow just like a salamander's tail. But then after

that time, we don't have fetal tissue anymore, everything else you call you is coming from this signaling pathway. It tells the stem cells make this many brain stem cells, heart stem cells, etc. And for 30 years, pharmaceutical companies have been trying to figure out the breakthrough. This particular company has figured out breakthroughs. Now, they're in phase, I'm sure, you know, phase one is safety at the FDA, phase two is efficacy, and phase three is efficacy at scale, and then you get approved. So they're at the end of phase two, about to begin phase three. They think, they hope by the end of this year they'll be done. But in the preliminary information, here's one of their treatments, one injection, single injection.

And if you have osteoarthritis, over the next 10 to 12 months, you regrow all your tendons brand new from stem cells. And it's from a new epigenome, you know, like when they made Dolly, you know, the, when they duplicated, you know, a cloned to sheep way back in, right? Well, how did this old sheep create a brand new sheep without all those problems? Because the epigenome gets reset. So they figured out how to make that happen through your Wint pathway, and it has all kinds of impact. There are eight different cancers that they're working on treatments for. There are things that will just blow your mind.

So I couldn't give you one thing. There's spray on stem cells like, you know, most people don't know it, but if a fireman or policeman or someone falls into a fire and you burn your face off, we've all seen people who are scarred for life, the standard treatment is to put cadaver skin on there for you to try to keep you alive and make things go. they now have in seven hospitals in the United States where they can take your stem cells and spray them on your face. And I have them in the book. The pictures will blow your mind from grotesque to you can barely tell the thing happened in a period of three weeks. I mean, it is mind-boggling. So there are things that can increase your energy. Right now there is a study being done.

You probably are familiar with the fact, as I started to say, that your breakdown happens in the epigenome. But also, the energy centers of your body start to get weaker over time. And there are now new discoveries of how to stimulate the body so that that epigenome cleans itself off, like gets rid of the static, makes it clean again. In other words, it does repair while simultaneously firing off the furnaces of energy in your body. And one of the studies, there have been a lot of animal studies, obviously, and they don't always translate. So you have to be careful about animal studies. They're intriguing, but we don't know for sure until you do with humans. And in the animal studies, you're in an old rat, which I forget how many months it is, but let's call it a 60-year-old rat.

would be the equivalent for a human, it can run like a quarter of a kilometer on one of those tracks. A young rat can run a full kilometer. The ones that they test here that are older can run three to four kilometers once they've had this for literally 20 days. But what's really cool is it wasn't supposed to be released, but it's in the book. There's a group from the special forces that was done in Boston. They just finished the first study a year long and they're seeing similar results with human beings. So we'll know more. But they're not going for this as a nutraceutical.

This is going for actually a drug. It should be easier as a nutraceutical, but most of those nutraceuticals don't last. They don't hold up. This one, they believe will. So for energy, for vitality, for your mind, I mean, there's more than you can matter. It's 700 pages that I give you an idea.

But I do stem cell treatments. I'm, you know, I'm testing things out all the time. There's a new form of them called V cells. And it's very small embryonic-like stem cells. or discovery that only came out about 13 years ago. Is this an IV drip? Like, how are we getting them in the system? Yes, this would be an IV drip in this case.

They can also do injections along the edge of your spine or something of that nature. But what I'm interested in this one is, you probably know some of the tests now, like true age, that can say, okay, chronologically, I'm 61 years old, but biologically, I'm only 51, right? And Dr. Sinclair's example, he's 53, but his biology is 33. He looks young as hell. It's crazy. He really does. And his dad, who's in his 80s, who was falling apart now, goes jogging and running, everything else. So, you know, like gives it to his dog.

So I'm pretty, I'm tied to the hip just like did on the financial side to these guys I learn from so that I'm on a cutting edge. And I'm utilizing those tools wherever I can. But, you know, I have to keep this body in unbelievable shape because of the demands that I make. And when, you know, when we went through the COVID thing, we're all of a sudden overnight, imagine when what you do for a living is 50. to 30,000 people in a stadium. And suddenly, everywhere on Earth, they go, you can have 10 people or five or none. I mean, literally overnight, they canceled everything. And so it's like, people need me.

How am I going to help them? And I went to watch somebody do a little webinar with like 252-inch screens. I was like, I'll kill myself first. I mean, you've been in my event. It's got to be an experience. It's got to take you. It's got to have the rock and roll emotion and feeling. And so I sat down with my buddies and my team and I put out tape recorder.

I said, here's what I'm going to do. But first I said, we're going to Vegas. They'll never shut down Vegas. Of course they did. Then I went, okay, you know, I'll do this in 1,500 movie theaters with 10 people each around the country by satellite. And they shut down the movie theaters. So I finally was like, okay, I got to reach people in their homes, but make it as dynamic as if they were there in person. So I was like, okay, we're going to build. I'm going to find a building with 40 foot high ceilings. I'm going to do 20 foot high LED screens. 0.67 highest resolution in the world, 50 feet wide, 180 degrees around me. I'm going to call Eric Gion at Zoom and say, I need to upgrade what you're doing with Zoom. So I'm going to do. I can interact with people on a larger scale, not just 1,000 or 5,000, but 100,000. I want to build a software so that people can shake it and it sends a signal. So the clapping's authentic. It gets louder as people do it, where the case may be. And did the whole thing, brought seven companies together and said, we got to build this.

And they said, this is a big project. Maybe in nine months. I said, no, you got nine weeks, went through, got rid of a lot of the people. And we pulled it off. And so I've seen more people this year and last year in these events. because I have people from 195 countries, every country in the world participating. And every time zone, too, if you can imagine, I'm starting at 10 a.m. in Florida, and it's midnight in Australia, right? And these people are going from midnight till one of the afternoon the next day,

four or five days in a row, and staying completely engaged in saying they have the time of their life. So we kind of crack the code. Now, I do both. I did a hybrid event the other day, date with Destiny. I lifted the front wall. That's why I picked a building with 40-foot high ceilings. I could see people in 97 countries, and right in front of me, I have another thousand people. So we're reinventing what does it take so we can help people where they live. Where I got the chutzpah from? It's not my chutzpah. It's, it needs to be done. It's like, I'm mission driven. If you're just doing something for yourself, I don't need to work another day of my life. You know what I mean? It's like, okay, I can sit home and have a good time. But, you know, I got a mission. So it's like people need us

right now. They don't need us nine months from now. And then it's a matter of finding, like you said, other people that are super skilled and are mission driven also that bought into the mission of helping people not just we're going to build a studio. And we're going to create an environment where people all over the earth can become together as friends and family. We're going to see them in their homes. There's going to be advantages that we don't have an alive event. I can see their children.

I can see their husband or wife. I can see how they live and where they are. And so, you know, I would say out of all the companies we started with, we ended up with probably half of them still working on the project. We brought in new people. and it's your willingness also to call it straight. Like when somebody doesn't own it, you got to call it tight and you got to move on. Otherwise, you're going to have a few weak people or weak organizations or weak structures

that will destroy the rest of your mission. I don't take somebody out who still has enough drive and desire and hunger. Then it's just a matter of coaching them on skills or finding a solution together. But when I find somebody who no longer believes or is no longer certain, if you're on a team with me and we're, you know, we're the Golden State Warriors or, let's say, the old days, you know, with Michael Jordan, you know, the weakest link is going to keep us from the mission. So I have to value the mission more than this individual. They can become a client of mine.

I invite them going to my seminars, help them do whatever it is, but I got to move on now. Because there's just no way we could have done everybody around us that this is impossible, but I found a few people that thought their part wasn't impossible. And then, you know, put them all together with a higher mission. I mean, just like, for example, date with destiny, lifting these walls, sounds like a simple thing, but they weigh, kind of knows how many thousands of pounds. And the, you know, COVID, you know, you've got all the problems of the breakdown of being able to access something overseas. So I sent planes on people overseas. We're getting things we did it all in less than a week to be able to actually lift those.

And then I told my platinum partners, which is my audience, they said, listen, it's a backstage pass. You're not going to see me. You're going to see me on screens. And people are a giant event on this size. They watch me on screens anyway, but you'll be together. And then we surprised them, and it was like the music came up to a THX type sound. You lift it up and they were just out of their mind, you know? So it's also about creating experiences, creating moments for people that they won't forget.
