He tells me about going bankrupt a couple of times early on and what he learned from it.

He talks about his failures.

When you think about if you're in love, the meaning of what love is, is not just the love you feel for your partner, but what you actually learned when your heart was broken in the past.

This is very critical for us to understand.

This is one of the reasons that some people, when they're trying so hard not to have their heart broken in romantic love, they're making a huge mistake of actually not getting their heart stomped on sufficiently to learn a lot and to feel that trauma

and to learn the real meaning that comes from the true, your true soulmate comes around.

A big part of what I write about and a big part about what I teach is treating your life like a startup.

The average startup entrepreneur has 3.8 failures before their first success, and they learn from the failures.

The success comes from the failures.

If the success in your life has to do with your happiness and well-being, you gotta have failures in your happiness and well-being.

You must have that to actually find the true source of meaning in your life.

Yeah, you got to be you got to be interesting.

One more thing I'll point out about this.

You know, there's a I was doing a I doing a speech about the startup life and you got to take risk and you got to take risk with your heart because if the currency, you know, the explosive currency, you want to get rich in life.

It's love.

Lots and lots of love.

So you got to take a risk.

Every entrepreneur knows that.

And I was saying it to a group of young people in their 20s.

And this guy comes up to me.
