Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q kind of famous saying, um, that quantity always beats quality, that you should just do more, and maybe you don't have the life that you want because you're not doing as much as it takes to get there. What do you believe? Should someone, if they want to achieve greatness, is the answer that you just need to do more, or is it you have to do more better things?
A It just depends on what your personal goal is, right? So, Take the Birkin, right? Hermes, they sell a fraction of the amount of handbags that Chanel does or Louis Vuitton or Gucci, but their valuation is just as strong and Birkins consistently grow up, go up in price every year. And their whole philosophy is sure they could mass produce the Birkin bag if they wanted to, but instead They hire hand tailors that specialize in this craft and take so much time on each handbag that they care more about the quality. And so, right. It just depends on what your goal is. Do you want to be sort of this premier mom and pop steakhouse that is really well respected and you have a very comfortable living, or do you want to be Morton's or do you want to be McDonald's? Right. They all kind of sell a similar thing, but they have different kinds of lifestyles and different kinds of prestige associated with them. For me, it really came down to my goal was to make impact. I wanted people to watch my videos and say, wow, that helped me get to a better place in my life or not give up on my dreams or help resolve, help me get out of depression or anxiety, right? Like. Um, so for me, it was really important to reach the masses because it's a mission driven company. And so when I was starting, I was doing one, three minute video a week. And I remember we were on a group call. We were a four person team …

Q I know. What do you think has been the biggest sacrifice you've ever had to make in your business?
A The biggest sacrifice I've ever had to make in my business was the toll it took on my relationship when I was just starting out. I just thought that because I was trying to improve the life of my wife and my kids that that made every decision. Okay. So I skipped out on the date nights. I skipped out on the dinners. I skipped out on the school plays. And then I came to realize that what is success? If I can't even spend time with my own family. And so even though I may not take a hundred percent of the opportunities that I get today, even if I can go for 80% of them or 70%, but still have a life and show up for my wife and kids to me, that's worthwhile. And I'll tell you a quick story as to what helped me realize that there was a day I was working in my office and my five-year-old daughter came in and said, daddy, Play with me. And I said, daddy's busy working right now. And so my daughter left, she went into the kitchen. I could just tell from the look on her face that she was really disappointed. So that guilt was eating at me. Eventually I get up, I go to the kitchen and I say, sweetheart, you see this big house that we live in? And she says, yeah. I said, well, that's why daddy has to work so hard. Okay. She nodded her head. I could tell she wasn't really happy with that answer. So I go back to my office. I start working again. And a couple minutes later, my daughter comes i…

Q It's so good. What advice do you have for somebody today who wants to be successful and win?
A So if you want to be the first millionaire in your family, you have to do these three things. Number one is start saving money consistently, and it doesn't have to be a lot. You don't have to listen to these online gurus who say you have to start with 10,000 dollars or 25,000 dollars or a 100,000 dollars. I'm talking about a hundred dollars out of your paycheck. 50 bucks, 20 bucks, whatever it is, just save up consistently, and you'll be shocked as to how that money starts to compound over time. The second thing is, instead of asking whenever you receive a little bit of money, what can I buy Ask yourself, what can I invest in? And the third thing I will say is the most important, and that's to cut out three time wasters in your life. And we all know what those are, because your girlfriend has probably told you, your spouse, or your mother, or that little internal voice inside of your head, replace those with learning two new skills. And you'll be shocked six months from now as to how those new skills you've developed have turned into new income streams. So now that you have those three steps, if you follow them, you'll be amazed as to where your life can be a year from now.

Q Yeah, exactly. How much? Do we sell it to Fox? Um, but, like, for that, maybe the question actually is, how do you know, with all these stories out there in the world, that one is gonna be an incredible story?
A So, A, like, I'm obsessed with the story, right? It's amazing. It's got a great pitch. It really does. A muscular dad gets judged for being fit. Turns out that, like, for neglecting his kids because he cares so much about his fitness, turns out the reason he's fit is to actually care for his children. That, in 10 seconds, explains the story. But that's not the first step, right? That's actually the third step. The step before that is what is the packaging? Okay. Well, a muscular dad, that's interesting, right? What is the title of that? It's going to be very hard to describe the title in a few words. Muscular dad judged for his physical appearance or strong dad judge for his muscles. That doesn't really create immediate intrigue.

Q What was like the moment that that changed for you? Was there a trigger that you were like, oh, wait a second. I saw this book and I saw this quote. And then I made the change?
A I would love to think of it as a moment, and sure, there was a lot of breakthroughs, but in reality, it's a process. I think everyone wants that, what is that one pill I can take, right? Like, you can't go to the gym, do this one workout, and suddenly you're ripped. So, you know, there's something called a Stockdale Principle, where the people that survived the longest in war, or when they were actually prisoners of war, are not the ones that said, oh, I'm gonna be released This Christmas or this Easter or this Thanksgiving is the ones that thought that, Hey, you know what, as long as it takes, I'm going to still keep fighting. I'm still going to keep pushing forward because if you set your mind to, Oh, this Christmas, I'm going to have everything figured out. What happens when that Christmas comes and goes and your life isn't figured out suddenly you get demoralized. So the best thing is when you're at rock bottom, just accept That you're there, that you're going to be there for as long as it takes for you to get out. Don't put a timeframe on it. Don't think that there's some sort of get, you know, rich quick scheme that is going to pull you out of it, because I promise you that's only going to get you into a lot more trouble. Um, so, you know, first is sort of accepting where you are and realizing that it's going to take time. Um, and then, yeah, you know, I like to say that …

Q Last question. Have you ever had a dark night of the soul in business where you thought this isn't going to work out? I'm not going to cut it. I'm not going to make it.
A If so, always listen to your guts. God has put in some sort of ability for us to know whether something is for us or not for us. And every time we turn off that compass, that saying like, I feel it in my skin. I get goosebumps when I talk about it. Something's not right about this, but you know what? Maybe I'm being irrational and reasonable. I'm just going to move forward. Those always end up being terrible decisions. So whether it's some opportunity, whether it's a person, whatever it is, if something doesn't feel right, instinctively inside of your gut, listen to that. And you know what? Even if it seems like it was a bad decision at first, like, oh my gosh, look at that person is succeeding. A day will come where you'll realize my instinct was right. I'm glad I didn't listen to that.
