Either somebody in your foxhole, it could be a spouse or it could be somebody who's trying to hold you back or something is happening within that you're afraid to face. The dad who never said, I'm proud of you. You know, the incident that you've been trying to conceal, you know, for me, it was the shame of poverty and like lack of refinement.

But maybe for you, it's you did something wrong and you're afraid to confront it. And so I always think focusing on the enemy within without identifying what's preventing you, when you face it fearlessly, you're like, that wasn't that big of a deal. Then I feel like you can fully commit. It's usually somebody being blocked by something in my experience.

And my book is full of these little vignettes of trying to say how the person was blocked. And again, I always talk so openly about my anxiety and imposter syndrome. So I could let people know, like, it took work. You know, I wasn't born this way. Kevin O'Leary was born this way. He's totally self-possessed, but I'm not.

I love archetypes like that because he was on a CNBC interview. For those who know Kevin O'Leary, he's obviously Shark Tank and he's my colleague. I love the guy. But he went on CNBC and they were ripping him to shreds for FTX, right? And I've never and this is his like home network. And it was such an uncomfortable interview.

And I called him and I said, Kevin, like, first of all, I'm so impressed you handle that. But also, how do you how do you handle that without feeling, you know, torn apart? He goes, oh, Matt, here's the thing. I just don't give a F. I was like, Kevin, I do. And he goes, that's your problem, baby. Yeah.

See, the thing for me, it's a little different. I am endlessly intellectual curious to see if somebody might have a point. And so I spent a lot of mental energy being like, do I agree with you? But I don't actually give a shit if you agree with my vision. I don't care at all. I'm happy to be alone sitting with my little Bitcoin mining, you know, or whatever it is. But I do care.

I am interested when you project your negative energy. I mean, one, it triggers empathy. I know it sounds nuts, but I'm always like, oh, what a waste of your life. That sucks. You're going to wake up one day and realize you wasted your energy directed at me. And two, do you have anything I can learn from this negative energy? And so it's a little more cerebral, but it's a waste of time.
