How To Make Intentional Time Q&A

Break and then you can dothe second part of this call.All right, questions, anyquestions, responses, thoughtsor anything that was sharedtoday that you want clarity on?Just unmute yourselfor raise your handand we'll bring you on.I just want to say thatnighttime chat is the bestchat.I agree.I'm going to bring thisside of the continent.Oh Yeah.Goofy morning.Yeah, Sylvia, isyour wine muffin.Oh no.Well, I have tostay focused first.I got to get throughthe material.No, you can get some wine.I can get them thekey lime in Mexico.That's right.Well, I have a question.So see, I was told andI read also basicallysaid like just lesstasks through the day.So, you know, becauseotherwise I had like 12 staffgetting drunk anddropping just like a wave.And so I've beencutting things down.But like, how I have three,I have three to do list.So maybe, you know,put what an age.But like, sometimesit's just not possible.Or sometimes it's nota big one, but it'snot no one or it's just mediumsize and like, it's like,not like that simple, you know?Mm-hmm And then, you know, ifyou're like planning too much,then I find myself,I'm planning too much.Like, I'm using a lotof my time just planninglike it's a procrastinationfrom actually doing the goal.Right, right?OK that's a good question.So let me rephrasethat and make sure Igot it understood correctly.So where your challenge is,you have all kinds of tests.Some things that are verysimple that might getdone in 15 minutes and thingsthat could take days or weeks.And you're trying to understandhow you might plan or doin your few tasks to do liston a daily basis, right?Yeah Yeah.OK, so for the simple task, youcould write them down and justcheck them off, it's super easy.Those are the thingsthat we'll just get done.Most of the time, Idon't even write it downbecause I'm bythe time I see it,if it's justresponding to an emailand I'm in that mode whereI'm doing managerial stuff,admin stuff.I'll just respond to it andget it done out of the way.Easy are you addedafter you did it?So you checked that book?Yeah, exactly.If you want that, rememberthe dopamine retrainingfor your brain?That's important.So you get that out of the way.If it's a really bigtask, like, let's say,if you're working ona video for a clientand you're doing abig campaign and it'sa 90 second animatedvideo, there'sno way you couldjust write that downand say, OK, I'm goingto get that done today.Right, right.So what you do isyou take that thing.And then you chunk it down.So what are the phasesfor creating a big projectlike that?Maybe you do strategy,design and then animation.Well, how do each ofthose phases break down?Well, if we'redoing strategy whatwe need to do, the researchthat we need to do the discoverysession, then we need to dothe synthesizing the thoughtsand then presentingthat as a PDF document.So, OK, broke down to four.Well, how do we breakthat down into a week?Well, during thisweek, what do Ineed to do for thestrategy session?Well, I need to buy thesupplies they one, prepareall the questions, reorganizemy debt deck so that it's set upfor the discovery session.Then I'm going to do thediscovery session, right?I'm going to beavailable for that.That's my Tuesday, my Wednesday.What am I going to do?I'm going to recap all thethings that I learned Thursday.I'm going to doadditional researchand then Friday, I'm goingto package that all upand then send that to a client.So each big task can bebroken down into smaller tasksand to smaller tasksand smaller tasks.It's like those Russianbabushka dolls, right?They just it starts off big.And then inside there's asmaller and smaller one.That's how you guys shouldlook at the really big taskbecause you could chunk itdown and we go in detailon the projectmanagement course,which I think you're part of.So I just figuredI went until 40%and then I was gettingso much into finishand I got this job with the job.So the good excuse and thenI never got fucked, right?Sorry OK, I will.Does that answer yourquestion on that part?Yeah OK.Yeah, yeah, yeah, andhow about the partthat I don't knowif it happens, thenlike it happens to me that I getdistracted planning too much?Mm-hmm My tusks.Mm-hmm What is whatdoes that look like?Because I obsessed withlike, I love planning, right?So I obsessed with breakingthem down, actually.And then that's my problem.Then I have too many.And then, you know,like, so maybe Yes.Yeah, maybe justdon't have the answer.No, no.I mean, I think somepeople are like that whereBen is a crazy planner, right?Well, he'll have 30 tasks todo, and Chris can attest to thiswhere Chris is like,no, there's one task,and it's just get it done.They could look atthe same project,and for Chris, itwill be one checkbox.And then for Ben, it will be 30.So I think it'sjust that dependingon how your brain operatesand how you want to do that,what you don't want todo is make your projectmanagement intoanother project and youwant to keep it super simple.Try and keep the flow.I don't have aspecific answer for youthere because Iknow people operatevery different forthese things whenit comes to clients projects,for management, for project,for clients, you know, breakingit into strategy designedlike that.That part, I haveno issue like I did,went through enoughof the projectmanagement curvesfor that like before.But when it's likemore the businessand we're like trying tofigure out what there is to do,you know?And then we find out thatwe need to also learnabout this other partof the business or this,you know, like this,these are new, new thingsthat are starting to come upas we are here in the groupand we start to learnfrom other people whatthey've done in their business.And they were like, oh, I alsoneed to like, become, yeah,good at that.And then there's like a newpile of tasks and it justand maybe I'm just rambling now.So if you go backinto this moduleand rewatch it afterthis recording,write all those down.Just keep adding to dolist, but don't look at it.I think the key thing isto do later, not to do now.Just keep putting it overthere and just keep adding itto this long to-do list.But don't look at itbecause looking at itis going to be the thingthat's overwhelming.Yeah, Yeah.And then every once in a while,you just put it on that impactto effort grid andthen you'll figure out,what do I need to do right now?You can revisitthat once a week,every quarter or once amonth or a year, however, youneed to do that.OK, OK.OK I don't feel moretime for everyone else.It's all good.If you want to jump in.Oh yeah, go ahead, Peter.So I found somethingreally interesting.So when you were talkingabout the focus sprint, right?90 minutes, 20 minutes,90 minutes, 20 minutes.Mm-hmm I remembered somethingthat I was just watching outof curiosity, a while ago, andit was about physics, sleep,and it's this really crazy thingwhere you sleep for 20 minutes.You don't actuallythe whole eight hours,you just sleep 20 minutesthroughout the day,and that's allthe sleep you get.Besides the point,it's really insane.20 minutes seems to belike a magic number for,like for the healingany time I itwhen people said, youwant to take naps,take 20 minutenaps because that'slike the best amount of timefor you to fully recover.And after 20 minutesnow, you end uplike feeling awakeand fully restedagain, which ispretty interesting.So I guess a littlebit of tackingon to what you said,don't go onto your phoneor do something really intenseduring those 20 minutes.Maybe if napping is yourthing, 20 minute napscould work, or maybe try to getinto meditation for 20 minutesif that is also your thing orwalks anything that kind ofputs you in that mode.If you have nothing,if you have nothingto do when you'relooking for some wayto recover that 20 minutes,yeah, recovery timeis really important.And I mentioned thisin the previous callthat your brain isyour operating system,it's your CPU, right?And what happens if yourun your computer full loadall the time?You're going to burn itout sooner than later.And it's going tofry, and then you'regoing to have to replacethat with your brain.You can't replace that thing.So you have to treatit like somethingthat you want to run efficientlyand you don't want to runit full capacity all the time.Maybe you don't even want torun at full capacity at all.And listening tothe presentationgiven by Dr. SaharYusuf, the thing that shetold us, which wassuper interesting,was that one of the studies thatwas done, I believe at Harvard,they had a controlledgroup doing a testwith their phone put away.They're just onlyfocused on the test.They're kind of like in a Blackbox and they're doing the test,right?They're measuringthe brain activity.Then they had another controlgroup do the same exact test.But what they did is they hada phone right on the desk.It was turned off and theyhad them do the same task.What was the result?The result was they performedpretty much the same.The average wasjust about the same.But what was the difference?The group that hadthe phone on the desk,their brain activitywas much higherand that wasn't a good thing.That means they were requiredto process more informationat the same timethat they were tryingto do the other thingbecause of how we're trained.We're constantlylooking to this phoneas something that's goingto give us a notification,give us that dopamine hitso our brain was preoccupiedtrying to wait forsomething to happen here.So that was a veryinteresting study.So I think a lot ofpeople who study the brainand productivity, they'realways trying to talk about.How do we do morewith our brain?But the thing is, theway she was arguingwas that actually you wantto do less with your brain,you want it to runvery efficientlyand you want it torun well so that youdon't have to use a lot of loadbecause that what does that?What does that do to your body?Well, it's strangeyou, it stressesyou creates a lot ofcortisol and inflammation,and over time you'regoing to get sick,you're going to developsome kind of sickness,and that's not going to begood for you in the long run.So that's a longwinded way of sayingthat rest isimportant in lookingat your phone is not rest.So I'm just goingto keep saying thatover and over and over becauseI feel like people stilllook at that as rest.Or video games don't.Don't try playing videogames in the minutes I tried.It doesn't helpstresses you out.It makes it worse.Yes Yes.All right.Sylvie, you haveyour hand raise.Yeah and it was a littlething about meditation.There is a study.I think it's from Harvard.I don't actuallyremember, but it'sabout 30 minutes ofmeditation equals foryour brain, threehours of good sleep.So that's reallypowerful for me.I used to be a volunteer,you know, on in a nonprofitabout meditation, and we usedto do these studies of peoplejust being really stressed out.And they will meditate forlike 10 minutes and not evenlike meditation, justlike breathing techniques.And they will measurebrain activity again,and they would be so calm.Like you'll see thecolors changing,and that's really,really powerful.And I think that we talk alot about hustle and working,working, working, working.But I think that we, ofcourse, we need to work hard,but I think it's moreabout working smart.And it's the same thing withthe brain as you were saying.I think that we shouldbe in our brains.We need to stop all the noiseand all these like overloadof information thatwe get and just tryto understand our brains.And meditation helps alot with that, as well aslike conscious breathingand all those stuff.So it is really important.And if you guys want to tryjust five minutes alreadymakes a difference.So Yeah.Thank you for sharing that.Really believe in that.I've used calm headspace.Both of those areapps on your phonethat they're just very minimal,just guided meditation.Very simple, but justeven the breathingexercises work quite a bit.Mo, you have yourhand up, top man, bro.Can you provide us withthat PPP notion worksheet?Yeah, Yeah.Can you make that for thehomies in the Pro group?Yes, I will sharethat in the unit.So I'm just goingto abstract that.But yeah, for those of youguys who are into notionwill provide thatyou're the best.Thank you.Mm-hmm Sweet any otherquestions or thingsthat you guys want to share, Iwant to address the questionsfirst, if there are any.Otherwise, we could just turnit into casual conversationfor whatever we have.Oh, I see Rob hashis hand raised up.Yeah, hang on.So basically, whenyou do, the focussprints, do you turn off yourphone and everything else?And then how do you schedulethe actual admin part?The managing.Yeah making.Right so what Iwould do, rob, isit was one of the tips,which is to separatethe managing in the making.So what you might dois you might startyour day with themanagement admin task,like checking in, makingsure there's no firesand then just set out a chunkof time, two to three hourswhere you're doing thecritical thinking work.And then at thatpoint, you can pauseand then you can go back to aquick sprint of management taskjust to make sure your teamis doing what they need to door the client haswhat they need.And then you can go backto critical thinking.So the whole point is justdon't want to put the managementtasks in between the criticalthinking time, because that'swhere you're goingto get messed upand then that'swhere you're goingto run yourself really thin.Yeah so you'd turn yourphone off just everything.Distraction for a completely.Yes Yes.It helps a lot.I know it's kind of scaryto do because especiallywith clients, because youfeel like, Oh my gosh,if I don't respond,they're going to hate me.They're going to, they'regoing to drop the job.All these bad thingsare going to happen.But one thing I want to sayand Chris had brought this up,this is from Peter Druckerfrom the effective executive.Whenever you thinksomething bad isgoing to happen as a resultof not doing the task,think about what is itthat's going to happenif I don't do this thing?What will actually happenif I don't do this thingand Chris is trainingme to do thisbecause for a lotof the time, I'vebeen trying to do alot of busy work tryingto keep my claws really intothe content team at the future.It's like, oh, I haveto check everything.I have to make sureeverything looks good,everything performswell and I getit's like I have my handon everybody's shoulderand trying to makesure that they'redoing what they need to do.The problem is, is thatnow I'm not making,I'm not doing criticalthinking and I'mbeing wasted as a creator andI'm all of my creative juicesare not going towardsthings that aregoing to make the company move.So what happens?He's challenged meis like, OK, letgo, let go of thesteering wheel,take, take your hands off, do.Just try and cutas much managementtime out of your day.What will happen?So I'm in that process now whereI'm barely talking to the teamand things are still happening.Nothing there's nonegative impact.So far.So I challenge you, Rob.Like if you feel that way,like, ooh, what if I just.Say from this time, this timeI'm not answering emails.See what happens because Iguarantee you that nothing isthat important where youcannot step away from it.Yeah, radio.I'll give that a go, thank you.Cool I have a follow upquestion to your answer to Rob.Was your take intodoing that busy work?They are answeringemails and stuffin the past hours of your day.They are like themornings we just woke up.We have more energy.Our brain is quiet andlike cognitive speaking,we are more efficient.So when we were talking aboutbusy work in combinationwith like heavycreative thinking,we know that our brain isbetter in the mornings.So what's your take to that?Yeah, I know there's a lot ofscience and studies on that,and I feel like it's a littlebit different for everyonebecause people willclaim that thereare night people or theirmorning people, right?Usually it's twocategories, and some peoplewill say they are morecreative as a night owlor they're more creativeas the early bird.So I think it is a littledifferent for each person.I've experienced alittle bit of both,so it's I don't thinkthat it's an absolute,but I think what youdo need to realizethere is a book on this where.You do have peakmoments during your daywhere your brain is moreactive and susceptiblefor creativity, thingsthat were you'reable to connect the dots.And the more yourecord your time,I think that wasprobably why we did.The time assessment also isthat you can see relativeif you're tracking stuff likewhen you're doing your bestwork and maybe just takenote of that every dayand where you'redoing your best work,you might want to tryand repeat that if it'sthe times between10 PM and 12 AMwhen you're drinkingwine like me,sometimes that'sme on the weekends.All of a sudden, I havethese weird, dreamy thoughtswhere I could hear my own voiceand stuff starts connecting,and that works forme for personal work.But maybe for the I don'tthink that's wine, bro.I don't think that's wine.I think it's a littlebit of everything,but maybe it'sjust the inventionof that environment andconditions that I have set up.So I don't know if it'sone or the other, right?Chris talked about thatlast week about your spaceand you're setting the music.All that stuff.Where in the morningis right now?Sometimes I feel like I'mreally active at makingsure everything is goodfor the channel, right?So I'll check on the comments.I'll check if things aregetting scheduled or posted.Making sure thatI'm doing admin taskand I feel like I canget a whole lot donereally early in the morning.So I think it's differentfor every person.And it might ebband flow dependingon the time of the week andwhat it is that you're doing.If somebody has reallygood examples of this,feel free to share it inthe Facebook group after.It's like, oh, here's astudy, here's another studyand how you canoptimize and figure outyour peak energy timesyour peak creative timesbecause I know there'sstuff like this.Cool all right, isthere anything elseor are we wrapping up here, Ican see people knocking out.Rob, do you stillhave a question?OK What?OK.Chi has her hand raised.What's up, kai?Hey, Summerdale.Thank you.You're welcome.So so, OK, I have no problemto spend 90 minutes, eventwo or three hoursto finish a task,but then I feel soguilty because Iwill do the same thing whileI'm playing video games.So I've been there,I've been there.So how can I bemore disciplined?I mean, when it comes?Yeah you forget, though.Yeah and I've beenin the same boatwhenever a new video gamecomes out, it's like, whoa,there goes my Saturday.What happened?And sometimes?Yeah, exactly.Sometimes and sometimesI'm OK with that.I know it's like, I knowI just need to get overthe hump of this new game.I'll invest thesix or eight hoursthat I'm going to sinkinto this and I'll be done.And that's OK.I feel OK with that becauseI give myself permissionbecause I don't do that often.Other times youmight just use itas you might schedule atime, just like I said,if you make appointmentsfor all your other tasks,you might say, you know, from9:00 to 10:00 PM every dayI get to do anhour of video gamesand just limit to thatonce your alarm goes off.It's like, you know what?I'm done.I got to wind down for bed.I'm done.Why should I feel guilty?No, I don't.I don't think youshould feel guilty.You should feel guilty ifyou're looking at that and like,I should have beenspending my time on this.But if?If playing videogames helps you relax,helps keep you entertainedand helps you recharge.That's OK.Right, everybody has theirown method of self-careor think that's goingto rejuvenate them.So for me, forinstance, my Sundays,my Sundays is blacked out.And I only spend timewith my wife on Sunday.It's the day, we're both off.And I do whatevershe wants to do.So most of that day, I'mnot checking my phone.We're just going out ondates, we're going places,going to museums,we're doing stuffthat's going toboth help nurture usand just recharge usthings that are slow.We'll go eat at New places,just super, super chill,and I have no other objective.Then just listen to whateverour hearts tell us at that day.You know, it's like, oh, weshould go watch that movieor we should go eat over here.Let's go drink some wine like noagenda zero agenda for that dayother than show up for that.Can I jump in onthis real quick?Yeah I think whatChris might sayand what I also think is goodas like when we feel guiltyis because it's likewhen we're working,we're thinking aboutnot working rightand we're thinkingabout video gamesand when we'replaying video games.So like, I think Matthewhit it on the headwhere it's like if you setaside or make it a goal, right?Like you put a checkmark,I was like, I'm reallybig on the checkboxes too.Like, like Matthewis, it's like, I'llput a checkmark like, play thisgame right, do with this thing.And then it's like,now I know I can do it.I give my self permission to doit, but it's in its right spot.So I'm not just doingit all the time,and I'm not spending allmy day thinking about like,oh, I want to do the same thing.I'll have the time to thinkabout that and do that thing.And I did this withmy wife yesterday.I don't think I don't see Pete.Not not you, butanother Pete in here.But the new Call of Duty justhad an expansion yesterday,and I was like, Iwant to do it so bad.It was like, but I got to finishthis YouTube video so, Sean, Ifinished it.It's scheduled.And I also wanted to givea shout out to Sean here.Chris would be proud.His new backdrop looks awesome.Yeah, looking good there.Yeah, I just wanted to jumpin on that and say, say, yeah,you need to giveyourself permission.Like Matthew said, to do itand then don't think about itwhen you're not doing it.And when you're doingit like fully enjoy it.And then you'll findthat like even an hour.Or if you're used to playingthree hours or 30 minutes,you're used to playing an hour.We'll feel way morerewarding when you can fullycommit yourself tojust being in itand enjoying it,rather than, you know,trying to steal time awayto play or vice versa.Absolutely we talkedabout this last weekwhen we're doingour reflection call.These are things youcould use to reprogramyour brain to right where youcan make this a contingency.It's like if I finish thisYouTube video, upload it.I can play threehours of Call of Duty.That is your reward.And what happens nowyou're training your brainto say, oh, shoot, when I everytime I make a YouTube video,I get rewarded withvideo game time.So what does that do?If you do thatenough times, you'regoing to start to reallyenjoy the task, which mighthave been kind of like before.Now you have a reason to doit because you have a reward.So you can holdyourself accountableand reward yourselfat the same time.Cool Yeah.Or you could be likeGreg Gunn, Greg Gunnis the most organized whenit comes to even video games.So this guy, he playsa game called destiny,and he studies all theways that he can eitherget armor or a gun orsomething in the game.And he's like, OK,this is relativelygoing to take about 30 hoursover the next three weeksbefore the season's over.I could break downmy time like this.And then he does projectmanagement for video games.Crazy, crazy guy thathe's a dry, hard.Yeah, but I like that metaphor.Chris was saying that theystill like meaningful reward.We can do, you know?Last week, so that kind of makeme feel a little guilty by it,but OK, I'm good now.Good, fantastic.A little thing about that.If you made the time, youdon't need to feel guilty.I think that what I thinkI share this in a coldbefore your routine and you'relike literally setting timeapart will set you free becausetherefore you have the timethere.And that time isthere in your spendingall the other slotsinto working or whateverthat you need to do.So it's fine.I honestly think thatspend so much time feelingguilty for not doingwhat we need to door what we think weneed to be doing that.We don't enjoy anythinglike we are doing whatwe are supposed to be doing.Feeling like how would I be,let's say, playing video gamesand we're playing videogames thinking, Oh my gosh,I should be working.You're not enjoyingany part of it.And the point of life isjust having a good time.So Yeah.Morning thoughts.Yeah, that's great.I agree.I mean, I used to be a lotlike that where in college Iwas like tearing myself apart.I think I might begoing a little robot,but I was like notable to even enjoymy game because inthe back of my mind,I would be thinking aboutdoing work or like, you know,classwork and homeworkand stuff like test.But then while I'm studyingfor a test and doing homework,I would just be thinkingabout playing games.And so at every single turn,I would just be tearing myselfapart until I finallyallowed myself like, hey,you know what?It's OK, just play.Enjoy it.And then this timeit's for homework.So yeah, I'm walking.Cool all right.I think the lastquestion is Randy here?And then I got to wrap up.So like in regardsto the feelingguilty part, a question for,I guess, everyone in here?Well, math, have youthought of or haveyou experiment with just liketying it to a long term goal?Because I know for me, mythinking is very short term.And that's why I reallyfeel guilty about whyis he displaying saltvinegar chips, whatbeing able to feel pleasurablewhen I'm actually doingthe thing, like playing videogames or something like thatbecause I don't remembermy long term goal.So I'm thinking shortterm and I'm just like.I completelydisconnect with whatI was supposed to do that day.Is that a question?Yeah, I'm trying your question.Sorry, it's late.Jesus Christ.It's a complicated it's acomplicated question, right?We're trying to tie-in acouple of things, right?Long term goals, plus thesethings that we should or shouldnot feel guilty for, right?Yes, there you go.It's a little bit ofa watery question.I don't know if I can stringthat together with it.All right.Let me see if I can do it.All right.So how have you learnedto think long termand has that benefited you?More when it comes to notfeeling guilty about playingvideo games.OK, Gotcha.OK, so I'll giveyou one example.Anybody else canchime in after that.So at the beginning of2019, I set the goalof making $40,000of additional incomeon top of the regularstuff that I make.So it's like, oh, that'sa lot of money, right?Shoot, how am Igoing to do that?And then so happenedto make some good.Viral hits on YouTube,on my personal channelthat started bringingin some money there,I was like, oh, Ican make money here.This is a source of revenue.Right so then I starteddigging into that.So what I realizedis that over time,I started making money offof the AdSense from YouTubeand affiliate sales on there.And that has helpedme quite a bitwith my goals andevery time, like,I'm just monitoringit every month.I don't release everyweek or every day.I release probably every twoto three months, very slow.But I just monitorthat and I justlook at the revenue coming in.And as soon as itstarts dipping for me,that just kicks meback into high gear.It's like, oh, I shouldprobably make another video?And then it kindof goes up againand then down and then up.And then so that'susually the thingthat motivates me tokick it into high gearbecause I have thisbig goal of wantingto make extra money for theyear just to see if I can do itand I'm on track todo that, and I justfound a way to doit via YouTube.So that's one way thatI've connected somethingthat all of theYouTube stuff that Ido on my personal channelis just all extracurricular.I didn't have to do that at all.I just found a place there thatgave me a little bit of purposeand tied into some ofmy long term goals,which is to earn more money.And then I found a way toconnect those two things.And whenever I wantto earn more money,I just spend more timeon that YouTube thing.So that was that's mypersonal experience there,but I don't know if anybody elsehas anything else to share thatmight help add colorto this conversation.I had a conversation withDoe not too long ago,and he was like, whenI met you in New York,I found out a lotof different thingsabout you that youdon't convey online.And I was like, interesting.It's probably because youdon't hang out with me as much.He was like, no, no, no, no.He was like, was I any differentthan how you experience meonline?And I said, no, not at all.You were exactly the same.So the reason why I share thatis because I think some of usare a little scaredto ground ourselvesand who we actuallyare between boththe business and our goals.Randy, I think I'm tyingthis into the study thingthat we talked abouta little bit earlier.It I think you'retrying to be apologetic.Towards what it isyou're trying to do,so you're not groundedin that bigger why?So it's like then youfeel guilty for doingsomething separate.I'm probably not makingany sense because it'swhen I am at this point.I'm so sorry what I'm trying toget at is be unapologeticallywho you are.So when you're doing thingsthat are either work or play,they are a hybrid ofyou and you don't feellike you're having to do it.Mm-hmm The reason why wedefault to playing video gamesor going to Netflix ordoing all these other thingsis because they're an escapefrom having to do somethingwe don't want to do.And if your businessor your personal brandis something thatyou feel, the secondyou think about it issomething you have to do.That's a problem.So the second Iheard that from himabout why are youdifferent in person?Why don't you includethat in your business?Why don't you integrate thebeatboxing, the urban, the hiphop, the comedy,the communicationand make that a partof your business brand?When I thought ofthat, I was like, damn,that's something I'dwake up to every dayand I wouldn't want toreplace it with Netflix.Yes so I think we and I thinkyou're on that journey as muchas a lot of other people are.That's why I madethe comment of like,I feel you on a spiritual level.It's like you have to be OKwith being yourself in itto not feel guilty whenyou're away from it.Yeah, I don't know,that's the oneI am thoughts, Matthew, maybeclear that up a little bit.Yeah so there is a live streamlast week that Chris had doneand it's finding yourway, the ikigai concept.Watch that video if youhaven't watched it yetbecause it is an overlap ofthe things you love to do,the things you're good at, thethings that other people value,and the things that youcan get paid money for.As much as those things overlap,if it includes video gamesor whatever, yourpersonal hobbiesare even better,because now you havefound your purpose in life.The thing that's goingto supercharge youfor Chris as an example,he likes to teach.He loves business, heloves making money,and he and he loves design.All these things have overlappedboth from a personal andprofessional level.And now look at whoChristo is today.He's doing all these big thingsbecause he is super charged,and he's embraced thatfor me, for my identity.For the longest time, I'vehidden parts of myselfbecause I didn't feel like theylooked professional, right?So it might be back inthe day in high school,through college.I was a dancer.I was a b-boy for like 17 years.I trained competitively,but I didn't.I didn't share any of that withmy professional side, right?None of the personalprofessional version of myselfsaw any part of that.I played a lot of video games,some days 10 hours long,and I hid thatbecause it felt weird.And what's happenedover the yearsis I've started to realizewho my identity is.I'm proud of those thingsbeing filipino-american,like embracing all thethings that make me unique.And now that I've done that,I could speak from that truthand feel like, wow, this isthe thing that makes me cool.That's the thingthat makes me unique.And then when people now thatI'm putting that out there,people are like, oh,I love that game.Oh, what's your what'syour handle on xbox?Oh, I didn't know you dance.I used to dance to,and now I'm makingall these much deeperconnections with people,and I find that thereare more people like meand that there's morepeople that I shouldhave done this a long time ago.Like, why didn't I showthese sides of myself?So now, even though Iinvested probably a thirdof my life playingvideo games, guess what?How many projectshave I done for Xboxand how many more videogame like projectsmight I do in the future?Those are that's overlap, Idon't feel guilty about thatnow.It's become useful, it'sbecome a talking point,a thing that I can leverage frommy personal life that's goinginto the professional life.Yeah just wantedto rant off of Mo.Hey, Matthew.Mm-hmm Are you goingto put dance in video?Maybe I've always been toyingwith the idea, but we'll see.Matthew? yeah, reallyquick about that since.What's what's your whatwas your B boy name?Me and Colleen, we're wonderingbecause we use the dance,hip hop too.Oh, OK.Yeah so it's always somethingthat I've been like,oh, I don't want to name myself.That's kind of silly.Like, I could nevercome up with one,but I'll just go with the flow.Like, whatever issomebody's going to name me?So one of my best friends,Angelo, was from my crew.He said, oh, you're nasty.I'm like, all right.I was like, that's good.Well, isn't that nasty?Nasty so I'm like, allright, I'll take that nasty.But there's a wholeside of me that'slike, super likesome sides of methat you'll see on thechannel or out there,like, I'm this kind.Com dude.But then there's awhole other side of methat's ultra aggressive andthat's all like, you know,it's so different, butthese are the thingsthat I'm starting to embraceand starting to put out there.So I'm just figuring it outjust like all of you guysas we all are.But the more that Iunderstand myself,the more I put that outthere, the more I realize.Why did I hide any ofthis to begin with?Matthew, for Christmas, pleasestart your next YouTube video.Hi, my name is Mattnasty YouTube channel.Oh man.Practice, practicewhat we preach.And bro, I need to get Mattnasty on the next video.That's that's the onethat's going to go viral.I'm going to figureout a position that.Yeah, I do want to Iagree with Matthew.100,000 million like I usedto use to be like that too.I was very shy.I was a quiet kid.I didn't really talkto a lot of peopleand I hit a lotof things about mebecause I was justafraid of peoplemaking fun of me and whatnot.And over the years, I finallyembraced what I liked.And I guess going off ofthe doing what you love.Type of thing that isreally who you truly are.You know, I reallylove helping people.And I really love videogames, and I reallylove trying hard ata bunch of things.And so, you know, instead ofgoing the route that everyonethought I shouldtraditionally go for,which, you know, doctor orengineer and something coding,I decided to take themore dangerous routeand go for who I am andwhat made me feel right.And I think, youknow, once you do thatand you truly enjoy who youare and you go for that route,you everything that you do,you're really, really happywith.And so you feel no frictionanymore in all of the workthat you do and you endup making a lot of friendslike I have in this group.And then like two weeks that Icould play, this is my tribe,and it makes you so muchhappier surrounding yourselfwith people that youcan really relateto that can help support you.And even though you mightthink it's embarrassing,it's probably wayless embarrassingthan you actually think it is.All right, it's not that bad.All right.Well, I think that's it for me.Thank you so much, everyone forjoining me on that call today.Oh, that's how we'regoing
