Life Skills Learned In Two Minutes [0:00:00]
So, you’re at a party talking to a beautiful woman and a guy comes up, looks like he lives
in the gym and says, “Hey, man.
Do you know where the bottle opener is at?
I can’t open my beer.”
Now, you, being the cool guy, you will say, “Hey, I got this Mr. Muscles.”
Take that beer and pop the cap right off.
So, what’s the secret?
Super strength?
No.
You just understand physics, the power of leverage of fulcrums of force.
Now, the easiest method is to use a stationary edge, we’re talking about a countertop.
You don’t want to use anything wood, anything that’s going to give, but one made from
metal, one made from stone, boom, it will get the job done quick.
If you’re wearing a ring, especially one made out of titanium or steel, you can use
that to get leverage on the cap and pop it off.
Quick note, though, if it’s a gold ring, be careful, you could damage it.
Another quick hack is to fold a piece of paper in half six times and use that to give you
leverage to pop off the cap.
And if you happen to be near a vehicle, just use the car door latch to pop off the cap.
[Music] Now, this next two-minute hack is powerful
if you want to reclaim your email inbox.
You got the same email for a decade and you love it, you don’t want to give it up, but
you get so much spam.
So, create a filter for the word, unsubscribe.
Anyone that sends an email that has unsubscribe.
This is a marketing email.
If you want to get rid of all of them, create this filter and, boom, they are gone.
It’s obvious, it’s simple, it’s free, and no marketing emails are going to be in
your inbox.
And I guess you can go to your main folder and check them because you did probably legitimately
sign up for some things, but this does a great job of just clearing out all the stuff that
isn’t a personal message.
Next up, you’re getting a two for one, the Heimlich maneuver and CPR.
And to be honest, these are going to take longer than a couple of minutes, but ten minutes
you can learn the basics of both, especially with the Heimlich maneuver actually learning
how to perform the Heimlich maneuver on yourself.
You may find yourself in a situation in which you’re choking and, yes, you can do this
on yourself to be able to get food out of your airway.
And when it comes to the CPR, guys, this is not as difficult.
I remember when I learned, it was a full day class, but nowadays, they’ve really broken
it down into the basics of you just want to keep the heart pumping.
Again, gents, you can pick up the basics in just a few minutes and this could save a life,
possibly yours.
The next life hack that’s going to improve your situation, making yourself a harder target.
When it comes to identity theft, guys, understand that every fourteen seconds, there is a new
victim out there.
So, that means since the start of this video, about a dozen people have been hit.
Guys, it’s also expensive.
Identity theft on average cost a person at least a thousand bucks.
And if you’ve got money in crypto, you’ve been saving up for house, guys, it can cost
even more when you’ve put in all that work and you can lose it in minutes by doing something
as stupid as surfing the web without a VPN.
And that’s why, gents, I’m bringing you today’s sponsor, Aura.
They’re an all-in-one theft protection, fraud monitoring, a VPN, they’ve got password
management, and anti-virus software all combined into one easy to use app.
And, gents, as somebody that’s had their identity stolen years ago, I had someone break
into my email account, I could tell you it is a horrible feeling when you know somebody
has access to your information and you’ve got to go in and change everything.
Guys, you want to be ahead of this.
You want to make sure you are a hard target.
Now, what I love Aura – and by the way, guys, I’ve been using this service for over
four months, I absolutely love it is that they’re going in and they’re looking at
data brokers.
Okay, who is trying to use Antonio’s information and they actually put in request to opt out.
They go to the dark web, they found me six times and they point out, hey, you’re going
to want to go in and change these passwords.
And they’re going to look at account records, they’re looking at public records.
Guys, they’ve got right here a built in VPN.
It’s so easy to be able to turn it on or turn it off.
I can also go in and see my credit score.
I just love how everything I need to be able to protect myself, to be able to be, you know,
smart on the internet is right here in one single app.
I also like how you can monitor your financial accounts for suspicious activity.
A couple of months back, I had somebody on my team spend a little bit more and it wasn’t
their fault, they got double charged.
But, you know what?
I was told immediately by Aura that, hey, you want to check this out, this is going
to negatively affect your credit score.
Talking to company and, boom, they were right.
Now, if I had waited a month ‘til I saw the change in my credit score, that would
have been bad, but because I was proactive, because Aura was so quick to let me know,
I was able to call the credit card company immediately and fix the problem.
I personally use Aura and I want you to try it that’s why I’ve got fourteen days free.
Go to Aura.com/RMRS to be able to protect yourself from the fastest growing crime out
there that is identity theft.
Again, Aura.com/RMRS.
The next two-minute life skill that’s going to make you a better man, learn to fondle
your testicles.
Seriously, guys, every time you’re in the shower, feel yourself up.
Why?
Because you want to know what is normal.
You want to know what’s regular with the boys, because if there is some type of a lump,
there’s some type of bump, you want to quickly go to a doctor.
[0:05:01] Guys, I’m talking about a testicular exam,
something that you should be giving yourself everyday especially if testicular cancer runs
in your family.
And if doesn’t, guys, just make sure that you know your body, you understand, hey, this
is something out of the ordinary and get check out before it becomes a bigger issue.
And by the way, if you need a video instructional for this, type in Rachel Stevens testicular
exam video.
Guys, yeah, it’s good.
Next up, I’ve got tighty-righty and lefty-loosey.
I almost left this one off because I thought it’s obvious, every guy knows this.
If you have never heard tighty-righty lefty-loosey, please let me know down in the comments.
This is the basics whenever you’re using a screwdriver, you’re using a wrench, you
are tightening something and you are loosening something, you want to know which direction
universally things should go, so that you don’t over tighten and end up ripping and
stripping something or taking something off that shouldn’t come off.
Point being if you know that, it’s going to make your life easy with repairs, even
simply removing and changing a light bulb.
Now, this next life lesson, I learned pretty young because I was a curious person and I
just simply read the manuals.
But, I know so many guys skip this.
Guys, if you don’t read the manuals, you’re missing out probably more than half of the
features, half of the capabilities of the item that you just purchased.
You also risk damaging the item.
So, take a few minutes, read through the manual.
And if that’s too much, then take the manual basic information there, type it into YouTube,
you’ll find somebody that’s probably made a video that explains everything that’s
in the manual, so that you can just watch it just way.
Now, these next life skills I think are really important to men.
And that is the basics of strength training and the core four exercises.
So, this is something, yes, in a matter of minutes you can learn the basics.
Now, it may take a lifetime to truly master and perfect them, but when it comes to the
squat, when it comes to the dead lift, when it comes to the bench press, when it comes
to the shoulder press, within a matter of minutes with a great coach.
You can learn the basics of how to stand, how to properly hold the weight, how to properly
go down and actually perform the exercise.
Again, the key here is a good instructor, so make sure you can ask the right questions
to be able to vet if somebody actually knows what they’re talking about.
But, through that through them observing you going to the basics of the lift/
They can make minor improvements, they can actually make adjustments in your stance and
all of a sudden, it’s going to improve your lift and most importantly, it’s going to
prevent injury.
So, there’s a rule out there that wearing a tie is the first step to becoming a gentleman.
I’m not sure I hundred percent agree with that, but I do think that every man should
know how to tie a tie.
Now, I’m a style channel, we’ve got tons of videos on the subject, so I’ll link to
those down in the description.
But, guys, I’ve also got simple infographics, no matter if you want to tie something a little
bit, you know, a little bit more like full Windsor or maybe just half Windsor.
Guys, start with the four-in-hand or maybe look at the oriental knot.
Tons of simple how to tie a tie instructional out there, guys, no excuse, know how to tie
a tie.
Once you practice it a few times, you will have it down with muscle memory.
It’s a great skill.
And, by the way, if you ever have to tie a tie for someone else, a quick hack here is
to tie it on yourself, then loosen it and then take it off and put it on the other person.
And speaking of style, let’s talk quickly about sewing on a button.
It’s a basic skill that I think every guy should have.
And, in fact, sewing, a lot of guys don’t think it’s manly.
Guys, go watch Rambo First Blood, what happens when he falls out of that tree injures his
arm pretty bad?
He sews up his own wound.
Guys, basically understanding the basics of being able to stitch things back together,
it’s about self-reliance.
And that’s why I always recommend starting with just simply sewing on a button, once
you get that and you understand those basics, you can move onto mending a hole, being able
to go over and sew your trousers back together when you get a tear.
Little things like that.
And, by the way, if you’re staying at a higher end hotel you’re traveling, ask for
the emergency sewing kit.
They’ve got those things lying around.
You’ve got the basics right there, a needle with thread and you’d be surprised what
you can get done with those.
Next up, we’ve got the three knots that every man should know.
First up, we’ve got the sheet bend.
This is a simple knot that allows you tie one rope to another.
Next up, we’ve got the bowline.
This is a knot that makes a loop in the rope that doesn’t synch down.
And last, but not the least, we’ve got the clove hitch.
This is a very useful knot if you want to attach a rope to an object such as a tree
branch, a stick, or a carabiner.
So, what video to watch next?
How about why I have 35 savings account?
Seriously, in this video, I break it out why I have so many and my thought process for
growing and saving money with some interesting and obscure methods that most people don’t
even talk about.
