Starting now. And it's funny to be talking about this on a leadership and mission podcast. But look, if you suck at sleeping, you will fail at all the stuff you try to do. Because your brain can only bring it when it's not tweaked. And if you want to have an untweaked system, you've got to learn how to do the nightly stuff first. And your nervous system is the real CEO.

And when you regulate that, everything else follows. You regulate whoever it is you're leading if you are regulated. And if you slept like crap last night, the best thing you can do is you can sit down with your team and be, guys, I got crappy sleep last night. If I'm cranky today... you know, let me know. Cause I, I know I'm not at my best and I'm working on it. Right. And I do that with my team.

I usually sleep really well and I track it and all that stuff. But there's been times when I guess I'm, I'm a zombie today doing my best. Like be real. Yeah.

There's so many people online that say, oh, that triggered me. You have to change. No, no, no. If something triggered you, it means you're walking around with a loaded gun. That's what the word means. So, I mean, in Texas, that's legal, but in a lot of the world, you probably don't want to be doing that. And maybe in your marriage or in your business, you don't want to be doing that.

So your inability to self-regulate is not anyone else's problem. It's your problem. And if you're in leadership, it is actually your problem and it's their problem, but it doesn't give you a license to make them change. It means others are in charge.

If I can make fun of you right now and it pushes any button, makes you tighten your jaw, makes your stomach flip, even if you're smiling, you're pretending like it didn't, dude, I'm in charge of your nervous system. If you're in leadership, you have great power over others. You cannot allow anyone else to change your state. It is the fundamental thing.

So if your body's in survival, your business will be in survival. And if I can put you in survival by acting like a seventh grade bully because they're still driving you or like one of your mean parents because that's still driving you and you don't know it's still driving you. You are not doing what you can as a leader. And there's nothing wrong with that. We are wired.

All humans are wired to process reality according to specific rules that I figured out through this hacking stuff. And it's not you. It's your operating system doing that. And there's no shame in it. There's no guilt. It's not you. The mean voice in your head is not you. It's a separate consciousness keeping your meat alive as if you were not in there.
