This has been a phenomenal conversation.

Thank you.

If you can't keep up with me, too bad.

I'm leaving you.

Like, get out of my way.

I didn't realize this, but I, for a long time, had a problem with negotiating myself.

Very ambitious guy, very hardworking guy, but I would set a goal and then, because I also have severe ADHD, I would find another thing that I liked and then I would start negotiating with myself about the original goal and how much time and was it that important?

And now all of a sudden, this is just one example of this, I'd find myself, instead of having one priority that I had already set, that I had already determined,

I'd be negotiating my time and attention and prioritizing all these different things.

And now all of a sudden, none of the things that I actually wanted to have happen, happen.

And then I heard, say what you want about social media.

Your, your feed is a reflection of what you give your attention to, right?

I, my Instagram is mostly like how to coach baseball, motivational quotes, like funny stuff and like nerdy science shit.

So I,

I saw this thing from Kobe, and it was an interview he was doing where he described this Mamba mentality and really the core idea of Mamba mentality, which is do not negotiate with yourself.

If you say you're going to do X, once you make up your mind, that's it.

There's no negotiation.

It is written in stone.

For whatever reason, that stupid Instagram video just like locked into my brain.

I was like, I have to solve this for myself.
