Well, guess who stopped doing any training at that time? So we went and so like 35 contracts got frozen and I'm like a small boutique business. You know, I've got 20 trainers around the world, but it's just me, my wife and a couple of people inside sales. The whole thing stopped. So two weeks became two months and I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to lose everything.

So if I want to learn investing, and you see this now, I make fun of this all the time, if I see one more longevity influencer online who has gorgeous genetics, they're 24 years old, like, hey, talk to me about longevity when you're 100 and you look like that, not when you're 24. So if I want to learn investing from someone like you, I want to learn fear, like I'm

You know, and there are some people that are, you know, people who are just not afraid of anything. And they're like, I call them the unicorn. And if you meet a unicorn while you can be inspired by them, there's nothing to learn. So if you and I go, how did Mozart write that when he was seven?

we don't understand that we're not unicorns right so we can be inspired by greatness but we can't really uh emulate what that person sees you see things differently like like math wise i've seen you up talking and you do like a computation and all of a sudden like like you see that like you're a rain man right like and if i go i want to do i want to be able to do what dan does when i look at that i go i don't understand what he's doing how did he do that

So it's a zone of genius. You can be inspired, but I'm off on a crazy tangent. But it's important what we do when we make those decisions to improve ourselves. There's going to be when you move outside your comfort zone, you get a fear spike. And if you don't know how to manage that fear spike, you step backwards and you stay small. So I think that's where I was going.

Well, I think at the end of the day, whatever your political angles are, whatever your diet, nutrition angles are, we are survival organisms. If I knock you out, your body, independent of your ego, your attitude, your beliefs, tries to, you know, re-regulate your nervous system and awaken. If I cut you, you don't have to go say, hey, white blood cells, you know, do your thing.

shit tries to heal itself. If I said, what'd you say? And jumped across your body without you thinking, would go, whoa, whoa, whoa, take it easy. You would hit a, what we call a nonviolent posture and try and naturally diffuse. So we understand intrinsically, there's a survival response we have in it. I really believe...
