What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Guys, welcome to the Bedros Koulian Show. My name is Bedros Koulian, and this episode spawned from a question that I got from someone.
How did a gym encounter spark the question ‘How do I become the best version of myself?’
The question was, Bedros, how do I become the best version of myself? I happened to run into some guy at UFC Gym in Brea, California, and after a little bit of talking, he said, hey man, how do I become the best version of myself? And I think he was waiting for some kind of metaphysical answer, like, dude, you gotta start meditating and journaling and doing interpretive dance and all these things, ice baths and... I don't know, sound bowls, but the reality is you can become the best version of yourself in three very easy steps. I'm going to share them with you right here. But first we've got to talk about human potential because I think human potential is pretty interesting. Think about this for a moment.
You've got someone like Elon Musk. In 2018, Elon Musk put a Tesla, he put his Tesla Roadster in a rocket and he launched it And the intention was for this rocket and his Tesla to orbit the sun, right? Like you can go online right now and track what that rocket is doing and where it's at in its orbit with his Tesla in it. Now, why did Elon do this? Just to prove a point. His SpaceX rockets are the best and that he can do something amazing and he knows how to get attention And of course attention is the highest form of currency today, and that's one of his greatest marketing strategies But we'll leave that for a business episode in terms of how Elon uses practically no paid advertising yet still grows Tesla SpaceX the boring company and his solar company and all these other things so quickly and efficiently but
I share this with you because look at the human potential of Elon Musk. And by the way, he's not the only one. There's so many people out there doing amazing things, right? You think about Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett for the last, whatever, 50, 60 years together, they have been growing. Berkshire Hathaway. picking companies that are going to scale on the stock market and making all the right moves to get their shareholders a lot of money. Like that is a pretty impressive thing to be able to understand economy, business, demand, consumerism so well to be able to predict Hanes, or Fruit of the Loom, or Coca-Cola, or whatever organization that they invest in is going to grow next, and then knowing how to tap into that.
That's a pretty impressive superpower, right? And you think about Jeff Bezos. He had this wild idea in, what was it, late 1990s. I'm going to create some online bookstore called Amazon, right? and look at it today. Like you could literally go buy anything off of Amazon. And today it serves not only products, but also gives us entertainment through Prime and Amazon owns grocery stores now, like Whole Foods, and it continues to grow. But I share this with you because human potential, while being so great, it's not just for the elites like the Bezos, like Elon Musk, like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. There's so many other great people that have done amazing things. I certainly won't compare myself to Bezos and Elon Musk or Warren Buffett, but I'll tell you this.
Some immigrant kid comes from the Soviet Union, doesn't speak English, doesn't understand the language, lives in Section 8 housing, grows up. and becomes the American dream. Like, that's me. I've had the good fortune to become the best version of myself, and that version of me keeps evolving into the higher level of potential that I have, right? My goal is to never peak. It is to continue to evolve. as the Japanese say, Kaizen, to keep improving over time. And I've been able to start this international fitness franchise, Fit Body Boot Camp, the Trulian Wellness Shot, and become part of Fuel Hunt, and create all these business partnerships, and give back to Shriner Children's Hospital, Toys for Tots, Compassion International, millions of dollars.
What evidence does Bedros use to illustrate human potential vs. neglect?
And all because I had these ideas and I was able to bring them to market and be able to have enough organization and structure and people around me to help launch these things and then learn how to market it and sell it.
