And it can't be here. It has to be here, meaning your heart. You have to feel it. And then the E, let's say you want to work out. The E is energy. You need energy because exhaustion will make – anyone a procrastinator, right? Like how motivated are you? Like we have a newborn and a two-year-old and we're just not getting a lot of sleep in the household, right?

And so how motivated when you're exhausted are you to read, to do presentations, to work out, right? And so I realized, again, with energy, you don't have energy now and you do it.

There's a process for generating energy, which involves, you know, certain brain foods, certain movements, certain breathing, certain sleep, stress management, you know, positive peer group and all these very important things. And so you need the energy. Like if you get a big processed meal, you're not going to be very in a food coma and you want to motivate yourself to read.

Like people see pictures of me with Oprah or Elon or whoever. And very few people ask, well, how did we meet? How did we bond? And I'll tell you, we bonded over books, right? You read to succeed. If somebody has decades of experience and they put into a book and you can sit down a few days and read that book, you can download decades into days. That's the biggest advantage that there is.

Plus people ask all the time, what's the best, you know, brain exercise you could do? It's reading by far. Reading is your mind, what exercises to your body.

I love that. And sometimes you read, you maybe listen to audio a little faster, depending on that also as well. Absolutely. And so just consuming that information and every new idea is making your brain. When I mentioned neuroplasticity, I know most people know it's that phenomenon that your brain can grow older, but you can make new connections as you age. And how does connections happen?

Through two things, novelty and nutrition. Just like if you want to build your physical muscles, what do you do? You work it out, you give it novelty, some kind of stimulus and exercise, and then you give it nutrition. So you give it the amino acids, the proteins to be able to grow, right? Same thing with your mental muscles. You want to have neuroplasticity, novelty, and nutrition.

No, it's absolutely true. It's not like your cup is full and you have to empty it to put new information in and your brain doesn't grow that way. It's just like somebody at the gym who's incredibly fit. The more exercise they do, the stronger they get, the more they can do, right?
