So I filed that away.
And then...
When nothing else worked to make me happy, I went to a remote part of Tibet to learn meditation from the masters.
And I'm on the side of the world's holiest mountain called Mount Kailash.
And a little Tibetan woman gave me a bowl of yak butter tea.
And I drank it.
And you're supposed to feel like death at 18,000 feet elevation because you kind of are dying.
And I just felt better than I'd felt in years.
Like, what is in this?
So I came back to Silicon Valley and I started buying butter and putting it in tea and it tasted gross and didn't work.
So I figured out how to be grass-fed butter.
And then I tried it in coffee.
And I realized that some coffee was crappy and gave you jitters and some didn't.
So I came up with this idea for mold-free coffee that didn't make you tweak.
Today, Danger Coffee is my brand.
Danger because who knows what you might do.
And then you can put butter and you can put MCT oil in it.
And people have lost millions of pounds on this.
And my book about this idea has sold more than a million copies globally.
And it helped to kick off the biohacking movement.
