And a lot of people think, oh, well, if I just joined this activist group, we'll have control. Nobody cares. Nobody cares about your picket sign. Nobody cares about your opinion. You don't matter. Not even if there's a million of you, you don't matter.

So stay in the world that you can control with your friends, with your family, do meaningful things that make you happy and try to just continue to get ahead because we live in a capitalist country where the best thing that could ever happen and a weird tangent and an anecdote to end this.

But when I was really broke and I was living part-time with my grandparents and I ended up living in my car full-time, I was like, man, I've got to figure out a way out of this. And I had a job, and I was doing sales. And I went to work every day. And I worked eight to 12 hours, bell to bell. I would stay late, whatever.

And people that knew me were like, how do you just work knowing that everything is collapsing on the outside? And for me, it was compartmentalization. And I think it's one of the greatest skills that anybody could have, whether it's as an entrepreneur, as an individual, in a relationship, anywhere.

Because if you can put aside all the fires that are burning and just put up a wall, you can make it through anything. Most people, they let the fire burn down the house while they're trying to make dinner. And that was the number one skill. So to me, compartmentalize the outside world.

If people are negative, remove them from your life temporarily or distance yourself, be less responsive, even if it's family or friends. And they will eventually come around and not be so negative, especially when you're on like an entrepreneurial journey or something like that. But I think the number one thing people can do is just shut out the outside world. Don't pay attention to the news.

Don't look at the stock market. Even if you have money in it, don't look at it. You put it in there to stash it away and not pay attention. Don't pay attention. If everyone's crying about it, don't even look. It's just going to upset you. What good is that going to do? It's Schrodinger's cat. You don't know if there's money left or not. Don't open it.
