so if you're watching this and you're
like let me dissect this interview one
of the tips and tricks there's no tips
and tricks there's a lot of work it's a
lot of work a lot of focused work and
that's that's the biggest message I can
drive home is that of course there's
practices and things you can do but you
need to stop making excuses you need to
put your head down I need to make a plan
and then you execute the plan I think I
really want to encourage people to
believe that whatever they want to be
even if it doesn't exist as possible and
that is because my job is so
unconventional and everything I wanted
is so different from what I was raised
to I could have and if you're creative
if you mix creativity with hustling hard
any job position
anything you want to become as possible
show people what your value is and then
they'll pay you for you about the story
is that I was getting my psychology
degree and I wasn't passionate about it
you know I was doing everything my
sister had done before me and I was
falling and footsteps line Li and after
I graduated my dad was like great now
get your master's degree and I was like
okay this is I don't think I could do
this anymore I don't I'm not passionate
about any of these things and so in that
little funk I discovered YouTube it's
kind of like the stars aligning
perfectly and I posted a first video
really spontaneously it was a spoken
word piece about religion it was very
very very bad and I got 70 hues and I
think I just fell in love with having a
goal during that downtime and learning
something new something I wasn't trained
at psychology doesn't really help that
much with learning how to use a camera
and so I had to make it up as I went on
it was very exciting for me people often
ask me if they watch my vlogs my second
vlog channel where I'm doing a whole
bunch of stuff in a day you know when
today for example I already had two
meetings I'm like I'm here I'm gonna go
home and go prep first yeah I do so many
things in a day and people like how how
do you do this like what does the trick
it's because I really love what I do and
I'm really passionate about what I do
and I think one of the signs my body and
mind were giving me before is that I
would get lazy really quickly I get
tired really really quickly I would cut
corners and come up with little
justifications as to why that was
like I would be studying for my psychic
stuff and being like oh well like you
know is the section really important
probably not you know we'll just skim
this over I don't do that with what I'm
doing right now I'm really thorough and
I think that's a sign of doing the right
thing of course if I'm real we don't
always have that luxury you know we
don't have the luxury of doing what we
want to do all the time so it's
important to kind of pay your dues and
that way the first video I made sucked
it's totally sucked my body wasn't like
this is the right thing to do you know I
had to pay my dues and get better at it
but I think you shouldn't just not try
because it pages your book how to be a
mouse nail the pronoun nah I know you
were nervous everyone's nervous right
out of you you gotta practice nailed it
nailed it you and reading the book eh I
was impressed because it's really good
and so that I hope people really pick it
up it's it got a lot of stuff that's
incredibly usable and there was
something it is so surprising and I
wanted to ask you about it and you said
the boss is somebody that is hurt
efficiently yeah and I thought whoa what
does that mean how does one yeah it's
kind of another way of saying it is that
there's no failures there's lessons I
mean that's that's another way of
putting it but it's just this idea of
when I reflect back in my life and I
think about all the times I really
became a better person or a smarter
person it's because of something that
was very hurtful or painful or an
unpleasant experience and now I think
very often in the future now when I'm
when I'm through those experiences that
the Navigo we're all gonna get
heartbroken over and over again we're
all gonna deal with failures all over
again but it's how we think about those
moments in that moment so I've kind of
trained my brain to allow myself to be
upset when I'm heartbroken and I allow
myself to feel failure but not be down
in the dumps about it for too long not
be like oh well I'm worthless or oh well
this is just how it's meant to be in the
world's against me getting hurt
efficiently means we're hurt how can we
efficiently learn a lesson in this
what could I have done differently what
could I expect it differently how could
I have reacted differently so that the
next time you Roby heartbroken what you
will be it's inevitable you're better
equipped to deal with it you can't
control the environment you're in now
when you have a really really bad day
you can't control the other driver that
cut you off you can't control whoever
was mean to you you can't control the
fact that you missed the elevator you
can't control any of those things you
can only control yourself so it's about
being more proactive how do you do that
well okay if a driver is gonna cut you
off but it's a really good music so in a
good mood leave five minutes earlier you
know if you missed the elevator and you
were late wake up earlier it's about
doing those practical things and the
simplest example the simplest example
everyone can relate to what's the most
refugio eating thing that happens to us
every day our phone dying back in the
day this used to infuriate me my phone
would die and I'd have to go to a
meeting and I wouldn't know where it was
or where to park and I would you can say
die you know what I did I played
Nintendo I was like well I can't control
the phone I can't control the
environment I can't control the parking
of the meeting you know out of control
putting a damn charger in my car and
then that's what I did and then that
whole situation was solved that's a
really small example but we have things
like that throughout our entire lives
they're not having the thing you need
when when you need it or not getting
somewhere on time not having the
conversation you type there's solutions
to all of those things if you just take
control and figure out what's in your
control and stop blaming the environment
if you want to achieve something at such
a level it could cost a price because I
do fear right now with all the cute
tumblr quotes and all the you know the
idea that you're special and you're
worth it everyone special and you are
will but you need to work for it like
it's not gonna at UM blur quota
believing in yourself is not gonna get
to success so I also do feel that the
opposite of that is letting kids know
like yeah get your sleep and get this
and just believe in yourself and you're
special you'll get it done like is that
is that really gonna get them success
though it's that in combination with a
lot of parties
I think that latter part is never told
in a very straightforward accurate way
yeah I love that you had a quote that
really hit me I'll paraphrase that I'll
get close yeah
the universe may like the law of
attraction what it likes a hustle good
hustle even more
that's like word-for-word what it is
Medellin I please subscribe immediately
that was the word for a word what the
quote is well it's such a good quote and
it's so important for people to
understand and one thing I would love
for you to try to capture for people is
what's that beautiful part of the
obsession of going after something
extraordinary that you want you want
that young girl or young boy to see and
chase honestly its purpose my obsession
has given me great purpose I would know
what it feels like to wake up and just
aimlessly be like yes I'm gonna go
through the motions of my day and when
you talk to this first thing I'll eat
these fruit loops cool I'll do whatever
I need to do waking up with my obsession
is it's honestly exciting I get to wake
up I get to make rules and break rules
well you haven't obsession no matter
what industry you're in you get into
that mindset where you like what else
could I do to innovate this what could I
do differently what can I just never
done been done before so every day you
really feel like you're adding value to
the world and adding value to the people
around you that's a beautiful part of
obsession my obsessions led me to 13
million subscribers that watch me and
also gain inspiration from what I do and
you know I'm hoping the people that
surround me everyday are also inspired
by some of the stuff we do so it's it's
the chain reaction you cause you know
that purpose and you give other people
first person now they're gonna give
someone else purpose so it's just it's
you lose a little sleep but look at the
result it's a small cost to pick I feel
and I love sleep I love sleep I need to
emphasize that I love sleep but like
there's gonna be days like on tours a
prime example on a regular day like how
many hours of sleep do you need on if
you're like I'm rested I need this many
hours of sleep six yeah see that for me
that's amazing you're a superhero me if
I produce ten hours I would like want
ten hours of sleep but then on tour when
I'm travelling around the world and
performing there's days where I get to
and I wake up I'm like let's go let's do
the thing it's a small cost to pay for
sometimes for a big result in addition
to entertaining I do funny stuff that's
primarily what I do but a lot of what I
would like to I believe I'm doing is
encouraging the hustle it's like I doing
all this funny stuff it's not a ten
minute view or doesn't take ten minutes
you know it takes a village and it takes
a lot a lot of time and you're
absolutely right I do do that in my
blogs in my main channel videos I did
not shy to let people know how much work
this takes I think that's what makes
what I do so special because back in the
day traditional for lack of better word
celebrities they were perfect they were
always on and always flawless I would
like to show people a person who works
really tired with Lewis really long
hours that's really tired gets pimples
and liked it that's what it takes to do
what I'm doing you know it's not just
that I show up and everything's
glamorous and that I reap all the
benefits that's not what it is that's
not what is for anybody but it's not
it's a lot of work so if you're watching
this and you're like let me dissect this
interview one of the tips and tricks

lot of luck it's a lot of work it's a
lot of focused work and that's that's
