The Exchanges

Q start calling money paper from now on like that. Um, you know, I'm like trying to envision, you like walk into two huge celebrities, Aaron Rodgers or, or Laird Hamilton, um, Do they ever think it's weird when you bring these ideas to them? Like how do you, how do you, how do you ease them in? They, top performers just already know this stuff, and they know it's important.

A Laird, well, I mean, Laird and Erin, they're super, like, spiritual people, so for them, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's not irregular at all. Uh, for some people, um, you know, whatever, the other, like, big time celebrity type folk that might be a little bit more, like, linear that I've worked with, or just people in general, um, for them, it would be more meeting them where they're at. Everything is business deal. Like, everything is sales. Everything is rapport building. And so if I meet you where you're at, then you can trust me because ultimately you want more tribe that's, that's similar to yourself. And so similar, like a starting point would be like the way I dress. We just happen to be wearing the exact same thing right now.

Q So now you're rich and moving to Miami. It's all tracks. Interesting. So why the stripper puller? Is that just something you think is fun because you're strong so you can like lift yourself up?

A Those stripper pulls are awesome. Um, any form of dances is amazing. Uh, dance is one of the best ways to circulate in an abstract way. So what happens is people end up, and you're also connecting your body to rhythm, which is a whole another element of, of, um, cognitive connection. So if you're just going to the gym and you're like struggling through bicep curls and tricep extensions, it's great. Like metabolically, if you're having a fact, And you're releasing more, ah, BDNF. It's like the, like the miracle grow for the brain and neurons and all that stuff. Um, and, you know, you're circulating blood and, you know, you're, you're releasing endorphins and like all this like feel good stuff, but it's still kind of like dumb. You know, so you're just pumping the system, you know, so it's kind of like sometimes if I don't have time with the dog, I'll just take her for a run on my bike, and we'll just run for a while until she gets tired. That's one version of exercise and movement to, like, get out the stuff within the dog. Then there's another version where she can actually go out, and she's, like, in a field, and she's chasing squirrels, and she's abounding, you know, over, over limbs, and logs, and all that stuff, or we're, like, training her, You know, and that's turning on all of these other gears within herself. Dance is one of those amazing things where it's, it's like th…

Q Interesting. A couple of the things that you do that I thought was interesting. It's not just the floor and the movement with your work set up, but you also have some thoughts on inside versus outside. You have some thoughts on like other things that you structure a day that is like healthy for Aaron. Can you talk about some of those?

A Yeah, yeah, I mean, sunlight is like the, it's like the energy currency for your body. It's what stimulates your mitochondria, and stimulates ATP, and is helpful for skin health, and it's helpful for libido, and it's helpful for mood, and it's, it's like, it's like you're pouring, you're like plugging the gas pump into your car by just exposing yourself to the frequencies of the sun. There's nothing new agey or spiritual about it at all. It's just science. It's just the way that it is. And even when you're eating food, much of what you're getting from the food is you're getting the energy from the sun in the form of something that you can chew on. But what the hell is an apple doing all day long for, you know, however long it takes for an apple to become an apple? Like, it's just absorbing through photosynthesis the energy from the sun to turn into this red thing that you consume that you're pretty much just eating sun. Like what? Sun and water is what you're eating. Yeah. And you know, the, the nutrients from the soil. You know, but what causes that apple to grow without the sun, it's not gonna do anything. You know, so, so thinking of the sun is actually a tangible objective, like nutrient that you're consuming, I think is a really valuable reframe. One of the biggest issues in, in the world, well, sun against the eyes is really important as well. Um, but Allowing your eyes t…

Q Okay, well, what do you mean by that? Or what would you mean today by it?

A It's accurate. So it would be like, it would be like cellular biology. I did a podcast, uh, with a guy called Bruce Lipton. He wrote The Biology of Belief. He, like, popularized epigenetics. Um, And in that, in our podcast conversation, people could even, even listen to it, he, one of the things that I remember him mentioning to me, he also mentions in his book, is if you want to change a cell in a Petri dish, you don't do anything to the cell, you change the, the culture that it resides within. That's a big deal. So we're trying to do all of these different things to like change ourselves. Meanwhile, we're in a, a quote unquote like, you know, toxic or, you know, maladaptive is probably a better, better word, maladaptive environment. And we can take all the supplements we want. We can wear all the blue blocking glasses, what we want. We can do all the different grounding mats and, you know, cool our bed and all that stuff. Uh, well, actually, no. I actually kind of disagree with myself. Those, those, some of those would be examples of changing the environment. So I do align with, like, changing the light, for example. So that would be an example of the, the petri dish that you exist in. You are existing in the culture of the light that you're being exposed to. So that light, refer to Huberman or somebody else other than me to go, like, much deeper into that stuff. Um, but some…

Q God, I've never thought about it that way. Speaking of which, like, let's say that you're, you know, you're a young dude, you want to project confidence to women. You want to engage with them confidently. What, what body language do you put out there? What would you tell them to do?

A Relax. So, people like to be around people that make them feel good. Right? So if you can make people laugh, or not make people laugh, if you can open up, you know, the potential for laughter or whatever, it'd be a little weird, sadistic, like make somebody laugh. Um, but if you can open up laughter and lightheartedness, like that's obviously be helpful, but that's something that's a little bit, you know, harder to like teach. Something that's really, really easy to teach is just chill. You know, so if you go into a place and people were They're stressed out. They're feeling anxious. They're worried about whatever the thing is. And for, like, whatever it is, just whenever Bobby comes in, everybody just, like, calms down a little bit. You know, so, for a woman, what a woman, um, generally wants, and what anybody wants, but I think women probably even lean higher in this, is safety. You know, so a woman wants to be able to trust, and she wants to be able to feel safe, she wants to be able, like, she can put her guard down. Women are like prey animals in a city. You know, like, I would imagine walking around a city and being as, like a, like a semi-attractive woman, you just have this sensation of, everybody wants to eat me. You know, so guys want to eat. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and I think there's probably a lot about women that men don't understand and will never be able to unders…
