And that's what makes life rich and wonderful.

And that's what actually produces longevity.

And AI is not going to produce an alternative to that.

The first thing is do what you love.

Forget chasing the money.

The money will come, why?

Because if you're obsessed about something you love, you're gonna get good at it, you're gonna build your social network around that, you're going to think about it all the time, rather than just money, money, money, which at the end of the day doesn't deliver much happiness.

The second thing for greater profitability is really think about your immediate social circle.

I call that a moai.

This is from an Okinawa term.

We really do become who our three best friends are.

So we can let into our immediate social circle people who sit around and bitch or people who eat junk food or sit around and watch TV.

And guess what we're going to do when we are with them?

There's good research that shows that if our three best friends' idea of recreation is physical activity, pickleball, biking, golf, whatever it is, that's what we're going to do when we're with them.

We mimic our friends and what they eat.

So it's a good idea to have a vegan or vegetarian in that immediate social circle so they'll teach you how to eat whole plant-based foods.

And also success is measurably contagious.

If we hang around people with low expectations and no goals, that tends to be contagious.

Conversely, if we're adding friends who are on fire to change the world, on fire to make a difference, not just make money, that's going to be contagious too.

And I would argue that's the most important thing you can do for stacking the deck in favor of not only success, but being around to your hundredth year to enjoy that success.
