Aubrey Marcus

It can only receive praise.

And it was something I learned from Aubrey Marcus that if you're only playing a role, then any compliments that you receive won't existentially connect with you inside.

because it doesn't feel like someone's complimenting you.

They're just complimenting this projection of what you thought they wanted, which is, I don't know, I mean... sure, if you do a shadow puppet that's really good, fantastic, well done, look at what you created.

Exactly.

Because, you know, and it's so funny, Aubrey, because like there's a way in which my journey is kind of repeating itself from where it began because I started this journey.

I don't know.

I never asked you this.

She looks at it from a place of her own fullness, like everything is accessible to her.

But it's because she's connected to her pleasure or her goddess.

So it is a big differential, even with all the emotions, the way, I mean, like this morning, I was having a meeting with my team and I'm just launching my book and Aubrey, everything went wrong.

Not just one thing, everything.

... it's kind of a crazy story.

Uh, Aubrey Marcus, he was the owner of Onnit, he was one of my...

He, they sponsored me as a fighter when I was on The Ultimate, after The Ultimate Fighter.

Built a really great relationship.

Uh, you like right before we throw cameras on, you're like, man, I was like Babe Ruth, like pointing to the stands and You really were.

I had the pleasure of meeting RFK before he went on his presidential run here in Austin with Aubrey Marcus.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

It's like, oh, that's like my single, but it's the opposite is true.

I think an actual mature masculinity, like you should, as soon as you feel it, When I was at Aubrey's wedding, dude...

This is something I love about Aubrey Marcus.

He just cries whenever.

Whenever he's feeling great about something, he just balls like a baby.

So cold outreach sent me a video and I was like, dude, will you please come on my podcast? And she like, you're so inspiring.

And then one example on the other end, I was a big fan of Aubrey Marcus and his podcast.

And so I actually sent him, this is, so this is ruling giftology style.

I sent Aubrey a, And this was John's.

Now I feel like I'm just, I'm just finally, and I don't know, there's more, more tragedy to come, obviously.

Um, each day is, uh, each day is a gift and I have to try to show up for myself every morning, you know? And so I feel like, you know, most days I don't wake up in like this joyful, good spirit, you know, but you show, you get the, get the motor going, focus on, um, service towards others and how am I going to show up and what am I going to do and getting into action and yeah I guess now is like love is an action and uh yeah each day is a gift there's a cool quote from one of my favorite podcasters Aubrey Marcus yeah And he always loves to talk about it.

It's actually from the Lakota Indian tribe.

It's Hoka Hei.

They do a deal with the devil and they get acquired by multinational chemical companies.

Shout out to Aubrey Marcus of Onnit.com. And so you can think about Napoleon Hill's classic book, Think and Grow Rich, and it would not be such a timeless book if...

Napoleon Hill were urging the readers to mail order cocaine tooth drops in it from the Sears Roebuck catalog, right? What makes the book so timeless is that he's talking about things that are relevant to people At any time, at any time in history.

So secondly, some of the products pitched in the book are only available to the American market.

It's not set up, but we'll figure some shit out.

We can just make it Aubrey.

All right.

Fucking code Aubrey.

It's created.

It's done.
