What are the basic fundamentals that you need to know?

How much energy do you need to get there?

Like what are just basic building blocks?

And I think for happiness, there's some basic building blocks that...

intuitively I've really tried to maintain as life has gotten crazier.

And that comes down to like relationships and like living according to what my personal values are.

Right.

Being value driven and like having a goal of what is my impact in this world and what is the reason I'm here.

So like being motivated intrinsically by like those types of things and not letting all this other

stuff be a distraction.

I think a lot of people have to buy the fancy things to realize like, oh, that wasn't what actually brings happiness.

And I have this, you know, Mr. Beast is a buddy of mine.

He's another YouTuber.

And him and I have this debate a lot.

His thing is like, oh, you can either be really successful or you can be happy.

Right.

Like you can't, you can't be both.

And there's many decisions I've made that sort of

would have helped me have more reach or would have meant that I could have more money or have more whatever.

But I don't want to just have this flash in the pan and go really hard and just totally burn out.
