I don't think wealth comes from emotions. I think emotions happen to us. And in the science of emotions, they're automatic, they're physical, they're impulsive, they're a reaction. Like an emotion comes up inside of you, right? And science shows they kind of dispel maybe in 90 seconds, maybe three minutes if they're really severe, but they kind of come in. You didn't know they were coming in.

Emotions kind of happen. Feelings are different. Feelings are the meanings you give to emotions and stories. And so you get an ongoing feelings. And I think wealth is a lot attached to ongoing feelings. It's like my ongoing feeling about myself, not just the emotion I had, Because scarcity isn't an emotion. Scarcity is a feeling that you create. I feel scarce.

I feel scarce because, you know, when I was a kid and then you have the story like you share. And a lot of people had stories like you and I had, too. You know, I grew up broke. You know, my parents raising four of us had no money, working full time. My dad was retired military. Shout out to all the Marines and service people in the Marine Theater tonight.

My mom, immigrant to the country, they barely made it. Between the two of them, I have no idea. They were always fighting and struggling. It was difficult for them too. The challenge that I grew up with, and maybe you did too, is I grew up with a survival mindset. If you can just get enough, Like, you know, just get enough, just enough to pay the bills, just enough to pay rent.

If I could just get enough. So what you're always trying to do is fill a void, not build abundance. If you're only ever trying to pay the bills, you're always filling a void, not building abundance. It takes a while to figure that out. And a lot of wealthy people I work with, they kind of figure that out. At some point they're like,

I wanted to go beyond survival because I wanted to do something different. And what that different is is different for everybody. I wanted to give, I wanted to serve like you. It was give, it was service, it was build. Other people, it was like, you know what? I didn't want to be like them. I wanted to change.

I want to be that different person, that one person in the generation that turned it around. But at some point along the way, they understood their feelings about money.

Three miles from here. I went broke in the mission district. Okay. So this is a true story. I had a good job and I quit it because I want to become a writer like Lewis. I want to write a book. I wrote about the same age too. And I wrote that book. I quickly put it out and I did what most writers do. I went really broke.

You're already not doing great where I was living at the time, but then I went really broke. And there was probably two or three years I was faking being a writer. I was looking in San Francisco, all the famous places the writers went, all the cafes in this town, the big name writers, and I would go there and I'd order a croissant.

And I'd get a green tea, and I'd sit where the famous people sat in those cafes. And I'd look around. Everyone has laptops, and they're all typing and drinking their coffee. And I was like, I'm here. I'm doing it. And then I just kind of ADD myself throughout the day, week after week. I am not motivated. So I'd walk around. I'd go to Fort Mason. I'd go to the Golden Gate.
