Interestingly enough, the subject matter I enjoyed. I actually liked meeting with business owners and learning about their business and providing solutions for them and talking money and understanding money. What I didn't like was bureaucracy. I didn't like being told I had to be somewhere in a certain seat for so long. I didn't like subjectivity.
I didn't like someone saying, hey, you did A, B, and C, but we'll decide what your success is. And so I think in life, there's only so much we can control and choices are one of them. But Even to our discussion earlier about intuition, I think the biggest thing we all need to do is everyone needs to go deeper. Yes, you should follow your intuition. And I already said it.
But you got to go deeper to understand why is your intuition saying what it's saying? How are you connecting your head, heart, and your gut and then deciding what the right decision is? Those are things that I think we truly need. need to step into, need to understand. And so many people in life, like your average age right now, right? Your average life expectancy is around 78 to 82.
That's a good life. We only have so many ticking moments here and it's gone. And it's like, why are we just coasting through, checking boxes for everyone else but ourselves? And so that's the biggest piece of advice I'd give people is start to work backwards a little bit. Think about top down. What is 78-year-old Jason going to say to myself?
You know, I wrote myself a letter when I was going through a tough time about a year ago. And when I wrote that letter, I wrote it to myself. I wrote it as an 80-year-old to myself today. And I sent it to myself. I put it in the mail. I don't think I've ever told anyone that. And I still keep it today. When I get lost, I open it up and read, what would 80-year-old Jason want today to think?
And so that's a practice, too, I'd give everyone and tell people to think about.
Yeah, well, what I'm saying is I'm putting myself, I'm taking my soul and taking it out of my body and I'm putting it into 80-year-old Jason. And I'm thinking about 80-year-old Jason. He's bald and he's wrinkly and he's old and he's got arthritis. And I'm writing a letter to what he would say to 35-year-old Jason. And it takes a moment to step out, no distractions.
And I think about what would that 80-year-old Jason say to him? And then I wrote it and then I shipped it and I waited for it to come in the mail and it came back. And well, I actually had a friend send it to me and they didn't read it. It was locked. And then I waited and I read it and I still read it when I'm in moments of being disheveled.
And a lot of the things that are in there, you know, some of them are very private, but some of them are like, stop giving a shit what everyone thinks, right? Stop living for everyone else. You have such good character. You care with your heart. What people think and what noise is means shit.
Just continue to be the best version of you and leave an imprint on all like the beauty you believe in yourself. And those are some of the themes.
Yeah, I think something else too that I just read lately that connects to this is it's a speech by Jim Carrey. And he talks about how, you know, like how many thoughts we have in a day, right? We have like millions and millions of thoughts, just quick little things. And these thoughts dictate so many things in our life. They dictate fears and concern and anxiety.
They choose our direction, how we look, how we act, how we feel, how we talk, how we communicate, how we protect. And he's like, these thoughts though, if you think about it, What is a thought? It's a little bit of a philosophical deep dive, but what is a thought? Like, what actually is it?
And he took like a cup of coffee and he's like, this cup of coffee has more reality than any thought in my head. It's real. I could touch it. I could taste it. These thoughts aren't real. They're these fallacies we build. And the people that I love and the people I think about and the thoughts I'm having, they don't know these thoughts. They're all just these made-up things in our head.
And when you take a step outside... And just be like, it doesn't matter. It's not real yet. Just be you and do you. It puts in perspective that we can allow thoughts that have no existence, that a cup of coffee has more reality than the 999,000 thoughts we have in a day. But it's those thoughts that are shaping our decisions and behaviors. And we need to put that in perspective.
I love it. I think he's a genius. Him and Denzel Washington, like I could listen to him all day, both of them. I'm curious though, especially my podcast Trading Secrets, all we talk about is financial transparency. How much did you write your check for?
Huge. Yeah. I mean, it's funny because like the number in my head, I was thinking if he said 10 million, my head would be like, okay, yeah, you're right. I like 10 million. I'm going to put the 10 million there. And it's so wild how just the most subtle subconscious thoughts and angles can actually dictate what level we'll dream at. And then that level is then what we do to achieve.
Because if you think about like, I think about Getting to that, you know, a goal of mine, financial, I'm very open with financial discussions. That's what I do on my podcast. So if anyone hears this and they're like, why is he talking about that stuff? Because I think we need to break into that stuff.
I think the world is set up for us to say that it's unethical or it's against etiquette to talk about these things. But I think the reason they tell us that is so that we have lack of information. Therefore, people at the top can actually make more money.
The more we actually talk about this shit, the more comfort we have with money, the better decisions we can make, and the less we can shame people and feel bad about it, which is the current world we live in. So like my goal is to get to $10 million in workable assets. So like around $10 million of essentially liquidity.
Because at that rate, I know that given how much I would want to spend in a year, I can then quote unquote retire. And what does retire mean to me? It doesn't mean stop working. Retire means to me I can trade. truly, truly do whatever the hell I want to dictate for work. What I want to achieve. Is it a non-for-profit? Is it X, Y, and Z? So that's my goal.
