0:00Do you have like a a super cutthroat framework of like um people and surroundings? Like if you are this, you go and if you're also if you're this you you you stick around because you're you're good for the cause. Like >> you mean like how do we know someone's a cultural fit or not? >> Um I would say like one life because it translates into to business as well, right? So like who are the people I acquaint with? Who are the people I stay around? I mean, I think the simplest cutthroat, you know, razor is just, does this person increase the likelihood to achieve my goals?

0:31>> I think it's I mean, you can ask I mean, it's pretty pretty obvious one. Like, do having you in my life, do I increase or decrease the likelihood I achieve my goals? >> Yeah. >> And then there's the opportunity cost of the time and attention that that person takes up. So maybe everyone in your life increases likelihood that you achieve your goals, but some do it more than others, and there's other people that aren't in your life that would increase it even more than the person who increases the least. >> Got it. >> Also, to be clear, I don't think that every single person in your life has to be somebody who's going to like make you more money. I do think that a wife who stays at home or a husband who stays at home, political correctness, um can [snorts] increase the likelihood that you hit your goals because you enjoy your life.

1:12>> If you hate your life, you don't want to keep doing what you're doing, so you stop doing it. to decrease the likelihood to reach your goal. So, it doesn't have to be business related in order to increase the likelihood. >> Always makes sense. Um, one one of the things I wanted to ask because I think this is something I'm I'm super passionate about, but in in spreading the the the I guess the the idea on but also I'm a victim of it too is um like what is one phrase that you can say that can haunt the souls of everyone listening forever if they don't [ __ ] take action now?

1:42Like if you don't do this thing like this is it you will die always wondering what you could have done. >> I think that would suck.
