Respect.

Now, a lot of people are sycophants that give you the positive reinforcement.

And when there's too much of that, then I got to play the role of the bad cop, right?

If somebody's playing bad cop already that's fucking crushing skulls, then I'm going to play the good cop to kind of balance things out in any situation.

Because I always try to fill the void of what I see not...

taking place like if you look at all my content it's like you can't categorize it i just look at the entire landscape as much as i can i can follow in the public discourse and see what is not being covered and that's where i fucking go max that's like the opposite approach everyone else copies each other yeah so like most most most content creators like are talking about the news of what happened today okay yeah

Some, like the higher IQ ones, assess and kind of contextualize what happened.

The fucking maximum IQ people are taking all that and then create a strategy and plan to address it.

I focus most of my time on what is the best course of action moving forward to fix the problem we're at.

Just like as an entrepreneur, identify the problem, get the solution,

create the product or service for that solution market create product market fit and then scale right yeah i'm all about taking action that's why i don't do many phone calls but that's why i like but most of the in the content creation business and i'm not going to call out names because some of them do pretty good work they're feeding the masses that aren't quite yet at that

That higher stage of critical thought and interaction because, you know, everyone on one side, a lot of people are busy, right?

So they're just kind of like passively listening, consuming content just for context.

But it requires much more brain engagement and thought to, okay, I've identified, like the hardest thing is actually identifying the right problem.

Most people identify the wrong problem.

Everyone's identifying the wrong problem, which is,

Who did you just have on?

Who's your biggest viewed podcast?

And what are they talking about?

And why do people think he's controversial?
