I'm off on the day trip tonight but
today what I like to do is bring a
larger backpack with me when I go so I
just have one bag I can around multiple
bags I could put my clothes in here
grab a laptop bring my camera and the
more pockets the better usually so that
I can organize all my stuff let me show
you guys what else I might bring so as
anyone who wears glasses may know you
always want to carry a spare because if
you don't have glasses you're gonna be
out of luck I also carry around a bag of
medical supplies including contact
lenses band-aids first-aid cream floss a
pair of scissors just anything else that
I might need yeah because everything is
fun than games as soon as somebody loses
a knife and then that's when something
like this is gonna come in handy just so
that you can get everybody back up going
again and back on the road I'll tell you
that the other thing I'd like to carry
around is a toothbrush and toothpaste
and I just carried this every day
wherever I go because as you get older
you'll soon find out that teeth are very
important teeth are going to be your
limiting factor far before you die your
teeth are going to be the first to go
your teeth are going to fall out it's
just going to be painful all the way
through and the other great thing about
just keeping it in your bag is that when
you go out and travel you don't have to
carry around toothbrush or toothpaste
it's going to be in your bag anyway I
always carry around the pen these pens
are very useful especially if you're
flying internationally or things like
that you may need to fill out customs
forms immigration forms many times
people will ask me to borrow a pen and
so that's why sometimes
two pens so I give the other person the
worst pen and I keep the better pen for
myself and I'm also carry around a pair
of spare headphones my actual headphones
I have here these are my air pods and
these are great they're automatic and
they just work when you put them in your
ear and I'll tell you that one more
thing I'll bring is usually a folder
usually what happens is when you're off
on a trip you end up collecting a lot of
printed materials brochures maps
documents train tickets airplane tickets
information so I just keep a in
here and this folder has multiple
pockets for additional documents so
there you go that's my to go pack now
you may think that it's very stupid and
very silly that I carry around a first
aid pack with me and I've been made fun
of this before in the past people think
I'm like their dad there was something
like that but the funny thing is when
you get hurt you're gonna be thankful
that you have something like this
speaking of being prepared you can see
even my car I carry another first aid
kit pair of clothes just in case I need
it
duct tape rope and a knife you know all
these things are very useful things I
should probably add it in like a jump
starter kit or something like that to
I've been thinking about getting stuff
like that but yeah the more tools you
know the better I just really like being
prepared you know once you start taking
classes like say scuba diving classes
selling classes if you find that safety
is usually everyone's number-one
priority because nothing is fun when
somebody gets hurt and so what ends up
happening is as you learn these sports
and you get deeper and you eventually
get to the point where people ask you to
take a first aid CPR course and I've
taken this course like two or three
times where they just teach you how to
apply first aid generally how to do CPR
and that would encourage all of you guys
to also think about first aid and safety
seriously somebody has to be the hero
okay usually in a group of 100 people
maybe you have one hero that's the
person who knows what to do how to
handle a situation when there's an
emergency and that's a person who
everyone is relying on does
person who people count on for a long
time I always wondered how do these
people become like they are how can I
become that type of person how can I be
the hero you know when there's a crisis
I don't want to be another victim I want
to be the guy who goes in with all the
tools all the materials and equipment to
save people to save lives to be someone
that people can depend on and a lot of
people just don't do it and they let
someone else manage that they let
someone else be the hero let someone
else take care of that and that's fine
if that's your personality you know when
I went to selling course I had this
master selling instructor and he used to
be a base jump diver if you would do
parachuting he had his own little
private aircraft and he would do some
film as well and when I asked him well
what's your goal in life he told me that
his goal was to just be very useful he
wanted to generally be a very useful guy
who knew a lot of stuff
hey guys I've sat down here for a nice
lunch and not
we have here enchilada verde is my
favorite so yeah as I was saying my
selling instructor was just a master and
I really respected him and he was a hero
I would say and heroes aren't just
people who have big attitudes big
confidence people who look the part
they actually play the part to not just
knowing first aid but having that first
aid kit having the equipment because
knowledge in the end can only go so far
sometimes what you need is equipment and
supplies now you may think that I've
come to Napa just to get wasted to drink
wine visit those wineries it's actually
not really true I don't drink so I've
made the decision and long-term
investment to give up drinking
I just don't drink anymore I used to and
I just decided I'm not gonna do it
anymore it's not good for my health it's
not good for my intelligence it seems
like just not that interesting
everything to do and most of the time if
I'm out drinking socially and I have to
give up my health just for other people
just so I can hang out with other people
it's just not really quite worth it for
me I'm not sure if I really need to be
doing something like that so that's
something to think about if it's really
a long-term investment type of thing
that you want to be doing you really
want to pick up this thing for years to
come
but do you want to just stop right now
and just give that up and I think that
over the long term your body is going to
thank you for it and the funny thing is
that drinking doesn't even necessarily
taste good a lot of times people say
well this wine has hints of blackberries
and chocolate well if you really like
that once you just get some juice add in
some bits of chocolate and raspberries
or pomegranate or whatever it is that
you're longing for and you can just mix
it up and make that drink have a little
non-alcoholic cocktail whatever it is
you can make any type of flavor that you
want to drink you don't necessarily have
to find a single grape or wine fermented
and molded in a certain way just to make
it taste a certain flavor that gives you
some imaginary idea about what it might
be tasting like and yeah you could just
add in chocolate if that's what you want
it's party time
we have your raisin bread looks good
nice little park here Sonoma Plaza I
always make a stop by here just because
I like the open space and the open area
plus there's a lot of restaurants in
this area so I can stop by for a meal
this is where the chickens come home to
roost you know back in the day when I
used to travel I would spend a lot of
time living in hostels went from hotel
to hotel hostel to hostel and after a
while I thought okay well I'm having a
lot of fun and I'm consuming a lot of
these hostels but what about the people
who built these hostels the people who
are hosting these travelers shouldn't
there be a time in my life when I get to
the point where I'm also the host not
just a traveler but the one who is part
of the culture building up the society
someone who has reached a point in their
life where they're the ones hosting
others you know it's fun being a guest
at a dinner party or something but
playing the part of the host I think it
really helps shape you more as a
well-rounded general person not someone
who is mainly dedicated to just playing
games maybe just working on whatever
their job is but as a general person who
are you I'm gonna show you something you
see that boat out there that big one
over there that's my boat I think yeah I
think that's it I think that's my boat
or I like to think so at least
that's nice you know if you were to go
to these large tech companies like say
Google you would find that everybody
there is going around carrying backpacks
and that's a funny thing because I spend
a large time of my youth going around
carrying messenger bags
I thought backpacks didn't look good I
thought they weren't that fashionable I
went through a lot of effort to try to
carry messenger bags try and carry
laptop sleeves around and just optimize
for all this but as soon as I got into
these large tech companies I saw that
everybody on the first day of
orientation they're given a backpack
throughout the rest of the time everyone
owed young men women good looking bad
looking everyone that's going around
carrying a backpack on their back and
there's a few good reasons for this I
would say one is that you have to carry
your laptop around everywhere you go in
order to ease the burden on your
shoulders a backpack is often the best
way to go around carrying computers
heavy computers like say laptops in
Sonoma so as I was saying last night you
know get with the program get the
backpack that's why everyone's doing
well all the successful tech people are
doing once you get into industry you'll
be carrying around backpack and you know
the other reason that people carry these
things around is for biking a lot of
these tech campuses will have bicycles
for you to get around from building to
building
you know messenger bags just aren't
going to work for that and get a good
one if you have a good backpack you have
a good life that's why I always like to
say special thanks to level eight cases

the same backpack as in the video I
managed to get you guys a discount check
