o better time than now.200:00:07,820 --> 00:00:10,160What's up, everyone? It's America Plus. I'm your host, Cole McCormick.300:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,100It's another week, another episode. What's going on, people?400:00:14,100 --> 00:00:15,360Happy to be here.500:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,500Folks, it's another week. It's April. April 2nd. Happy April, everybody.600:00:18,500 --> 00:00:19,600Happy to be here.700:00:20,220 --> 00:00:23,800We got through March. We got through the Satslinger last week.800:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,480Last week Satslinger was legit. It was also one of the best satslingers ever.900:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,180Got over, uh, like 800 downloads, so like that's a good thing for me.1000:00:34,180 --> 00:00:37,880And I'm feeling good with that. Got a bunch of good boosts, a bunch of fun boosts.1100:00:37,880 --> 00:00:44,180Um, some of the biggest boosts ever in my existence, um, is in my wallet right now. Couldn't be happier.1200:00:44,180 --> 00:00:48,980Uh, this week has been fun for me. This week has been interesting for me.1300:00:48,980 --> 00:00:54,780Um, last week I talked about that homeless experience. I didn't talk to a homeless man, so,1400:00:54,780 --> 00:00:59,780uh, that is, uh, that's good. It's some progress. I didn't have that weird experience.1500:00:59,780 --> 00:01:06,480Um, but this week was just full of, uh, full of experiments. I've been experimenting a lot with different,1600:01:06,480 --> 00:01:13,980different businesses. Uh, if you don't know, I've been, uh, without a real job since, uh, since 2022.1700:01:13,980 --> 00:01:23,080And I've been on this wild journey of just like floating through these different, um, money systems, I guess.1800:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,980This other job, so I quit, I, long story short, I quit the weed shop. It was toxic.1900:01:28,980 --> 00:01:34,180And then I'm out of the, I'm out of work for like a few months. I wanted to spend Christmas at home.2000:01:34,180 --> 00:01:38,180And then I find this tablet job. I'm giving away government tablets.2100:01:38,180 --> 00:01:42,080And I'm supposed to be getting paid some amount of money per tablet.2200:01:42,080 --> 00:01:48,180But, uh, long story short with that, uh, the most successful people in that business were cute Asian girls.2300:01:48,180 --> 00:01:55,880And I am not that. So, and I was, I was, I was making zero money. I was there for like six weeks, over six weeks.2400:01:55,880 --> 00:02:02,080It was one of those jobs where I had to like be in full, in charge of, of how much money I made, which I like.2500:02:02,080 --> 00:02:08,580And I'm, and I'm like attracted to. And, but it just wasn't working. So I, I ended up quitting.2600:02:08,580 --> 00:02:12,580And that was the first time, first time I ever quit a job six weeks in.2700:02:12,580 --> 00:02:24,580And that brings us to this week and this past month of what I've been building. And it's just been, it's been, it's been very, um, responsible heavy.2800:02:24,580 --> 00:02:30,880I'm just in charge of a lot of different things. Um, I started like this, I started my own Shopify store.2900:02:30,880 --> 00:02:40,480If you don't know what Shopify is, it just allows you to build your own little like e-commerce platform, little, little website where you can sell stuff from China.3000:02:40,480 --> 00:02:49,180So I'm trying to do that and I want to build it. And it's just like hard. This is like, I'm really experimenting with doing a business.3100:02:49,180 --> 00:03:00,780I've never done a business before. So I'm just expressing in this opening, like I'm struggling and I'm learning and I'm like loving, um, how to do business, how to do videos.3200:03:00,780 --> 00:03:08,880You know, I'm, I follow Gary Vee a bunch. So I'm, I'm so on this like Tik Tok vibe, like you got to do Tik Tok if you want to improve your business.3300:03:08,880 --> 00:03:20,680But it's just been, it's been a lot harder than I, than I thought. And I have no money to advertise. I spent, I spent money that I didn't really have on advertising and it sort of like went down the drain.3400:03:20,680 --> 00:03:30,380So got to stick with organic, the organic route. That's what I'm doing. Uh, but this week, what I'll talk, I'll talk more about that later.3500:03:30,380 --> 00:03:37,880What I want to focus on this week, the narratives. We're talking narratives, right? We're talking innovation. We're talking American society.3600:03:37,880 --> 00:03:45,380We're talking about the future of ourselves. And what I want to focus on is this new book that I've been reading.3700:03:45,380 --> 00:03:55,580Um, it's from the author, from the doctor, Peter Attia. Do you know this name? Peter Attia. Uh, he has a podcast called The Drive.3800:03:55,580 --> 00:04:04,580Uh, I think I first heard him on Joe Rogan. Um, but oh, yes, yes, yes. The first time I heard about this guy, he was super into fasting.3900:04:04,580 --> 00:04:15,580Um, this doctor, uh, built this app that allows you to track your fasting time. This is back in like 2017, right? 2017, 2018.4000:04:15,580 --> 00:04:25,080And this guy's like identity was like the fasting guy. Like he was the fasting doctor. And I've just kept a, like a, a loose eye on him.4100:04:25,080 --> 00:04:33,580I had, like, I, I fell down the fasting rabbit hole. Um, I got in those arguments, people yelling at me like, you're supporting anorexia.4200:04:33,580 --> 00:04:39,580And I'm like, I don't know. I'm just like looking at this doctor. What this doctor's saying. So that was fun.4300:04:39,580 --> 00:04:48,580And, uh, throughout all this time, since 2017, since 2016, this doctor has been working on a book and this book is about longevity.4400:04:48,580 --> 00:05:00,580And that was part of the reason why he was pushing fasting. And that's why there was like this weird fasting craze phase in 2018, uh, because of this guy.4500:05:00,580 --> 00:05:09,580And because of the science and because of the research this gentleman has. And, uh, he just released a new book called Outlive.4600:05:09,580 --> 00:05:17,580And I read the first chapter, so I know everything about it. I'm not going to sh- I'm not going to break down the entire book.4700:05:17,580 --> 00:05:23,580Um, but I do want to share a clip. I'm going to work through a clip this week. The whole clip's like two and a half minutes.4800:05:23,580 --> 00:05:32,580I'm going to play and pause it. I'll give my two cents in between some stuff. Um, but I think Peter Atia, he's, um, I think he's a good mind.4900:05:32,580 --> 00:05:41,580I think he's a good voice. I think he's a responsible voice. And, uh, what I'm really doing here with this episode number 64, this is, you know, we're talking about medicine.5000:05:41,580 --> 00:05:53,580We're talking about innovation within medicine, the medical establishment. How is this evolving? How are our institutions that govern our medicine moving forward?5100:05:53,580 --> 00:06:07,580Um, and the answer right off the bat is within you and me. It's within the patients. And within the caregivers. Like, it's up to us to change this system.5200:06:07,580 --> 00:06:19,580And the good thing about this episode is it's allowing me to express my absolute disdain I have for hospitals. And sometimes doctors.5300:06:19,580 --> 00:06:26,580And sometimes, uh, the government. And sometimes the CDC. And sometimes the World Health Organization.5400:06:26,580 --> 00:06:36,580And just the amount of corruption that happens within these institutions. And how over the last 100 years, and Atia goes into the evolution of how medicine evolved.5500:06:36,580 --> 00:06:49,580But within the last 100 years, we've had these institutions that have been pushing out medicine and have been helping people and keeping people alive.5600:06:49,580 --> 00:07:05,580Saving lives. And I feel like it's all peaked. And I've, I've expressed this anger. I've expressed being upset and just weary of the entire world.5700:07:05,580 --> 00:07:14,580You know, I've gotten a bunch of arguments with my girlfriend about it. And just, it's a continual process of trying to understand, like, why do I feel the way I feel?5800:07:14,580 --> 00:07:23,580Maybe my feelings are misplaced. And so I continue to seek out responsible voices when it comes to medicine.5900:07:23,580 --> 00:07:32,580And it's gotten even harder because throughout COVID, you know, because like people that you like fall, like I followed like, like Dr. Rhonda Patrick, right?6000:07:32,580 --> 00:07:42,580Rhonda Patrick, she's been on Joe Rogan a bunch. But, and her thing is like saunas, right? Like the thing that she focuses on is all the sauna science.6100:07:42,580 --> 00:07:49,580And she's on Joe Rogan and she's like pitching the vaccine, the COVID vaccine. And like Joe didn't say anything about it.6200:07:49,580 --> 00:07:55,580Like he didn't really like, didn't really like say much about it. But just weird how these people can, can be gung ho.6300:07:55,580 --> 00:08:06,580Like these people within these, within these worlds and can be, be a shining light for a certain type of science or a certain side of science, I should say.6400:08:06,580 --> 00:08:15,580And then be on the complete opposite spectrum of how they interact with a certain product or with a certain routine.6500:08:15,580 --> 00:08:20,580And I think Peter Atiyah is responsible, is a responsible voice with this.6600:08:20,580 --> 00:08:26,580So with, I think it goes without saying, I'm not trying to like shill any particular, any particular thing.6700:08:26,580 --> 00:08:36,580I'm not trying to shill any, any medicine or any like ideology. I hate it when people say things like, like, oh yeah, like I totally agree.6800:08:36,580 --> 00:08:42,580Like it's not good with like pharmaceuticals. Like they're totally, the pharmaceutical companies are making way too much money.6900:08:42,580 --> 00:08:48,580And then like in a few seconds later they say, oh, you should really go to the doctor for that. If you have a cold, you should really go to the doctor.7000:08:48,580 --> 00:08:57,580You know, I was just in the ER. Like the same people who say that they agree that it's not good, that pharmaceutical companies are making billions and billions,7100:08:57,580 --> 00:09:03,580are also the same people going to the ER for some like strep throat shit. You know?7200:09:03,580 --> 00:09:13,580Like it's just like, it's pointless. It's pointless. And here I am. Like I'm eating all meat. I'm eating mostly meat and, and, and, and weed gummies.7300:09:13,580 --> 00:09:24,580I'm taking cold showers. I'm working out at the park barefoot. Like people look at me and I'm weird. Like I don't have the vaccine and people just,7400:09:24,580 --> 00:09:35,580I'm just on a different vibe. So I'm trying my best to be respond, to be responsible and to not build up walls around myself because I've already like,7500:09:35,580 --> 00:09:44,580naturally because of my decision making, there's already like space, you know? But I don't want to build a wall within that space. You know what I mean?7600:09:44,580 --> 00:09:53,580Does that make sense? So I really hope Peter Atiyah and this entire thing about, he's talking about this concept and this is what the first chapter of his book goes into.7700:09:53,580 --> 00:10:03,580This thing called Medicine 3.0. This could, it's almost like podcasting 2.0, but it's better because it's medicine and it's 3.0.7800:10:03,580 --> 00:10:11,580And I think it's wonderful. So he's given a quick breakdown of just the history of how medicine has evolved throughout the last few hundred years.7900:10:11,580 --> 00:10:17,580We need to go into these wrong, totally wrong clip. Here we go.8000:10:17,580 --> 00:10:19,580Okay. So what are they? So Medicine 1.0 is...8100:10:19,580 --> 00:10:26,580Oh sorry, sorry. So real quick. There's, there's Medicine 1.0, Medicine 2.0, Medicine 3.8200:10:26,580 --> 00:10:33,580So, Medicine 1.0 is when we had no idea of science. We have to kind of keep in mind, science...8300:10:33,580 --> 00:10:44,580Okay. So what are they? So Medicine 1.0 is when we had no idea of science. We have to kind of keep in mind, science is...8400:10:44,580 --> 00:10:56,580It's such a political term at the moment that that's really unfortunate, but science is a way of thinking. Science is not a person. Science is not an answer. Science is a process.8500:10:56,580 --> 00:11:03,580Thank God. Can we get a little round of applause for that guy? Science is not the answer. Thank you. Science is not an answer.8600:11:03,580 --> 00:11:10,580That goes like, that's one of the reasons why I wanted to share this guy, because he's thinking about science the right way, right? Correct?8700:11:10,580 --> 00:11:18,580Like science is a process. I remember during the pandemic, people were just like trying to look at the data about the vaccine, and they're looking at the data...8800:11:18,580 --> 00:11:27,580Forget the vaccine. We're looking at the data for COVID. We're looking at the data for people getting sick, and we're being told that it's a lot worse than what we're experiencing.8900:11:27,580 --> 00:11:39,580And then we're also reading data that it's probably not as deadly, but then all the coverage, all the media, all the experts are telling us that it's bad, bad, bad, unsafe, deadly, deadly, deadly.9000:11:39,580 --> 00:11:51,580People are dying. We need to save lives. And even Fauci, even Dr. Fauci, I remember he said, like, he represented science. He currently, he will, he does, he is.9100:11:51,580 --> 00:12:03,580He said, if you question science, you are questioning me. And that's like, that was one of the most horrific, disgusting displays of our institutions.9200:12:03,580 --> 00:12:16,580And just thank God, just thank you, Peter Attia, for saying that science is a process. Science is not a person. Science is not an answer. Like, just thank you. Just thank you.9300:12:16,580 --> 00:12:29,580Prior to the invention of this idea, this is where you had sort of all sorts of crazy ideas. You know, if you were sick, it was due to bad humors, and, you know, it was bad spirits and bad luck and all these sorts of things.9400:12:29,580 --> 00:12:36,580But it really, there was no sort of scientific basis for that. So that kind of started to change in the late 17th century with Francis Bacon.9500:12:36,580 --> 00:12:46,580But I would argue that the full transition to Medicine 2.0 didn't actually take place until the advent of germ theory in the late 19th century.9600:12:46,580 --> 00:13:00,580So we've got about this 200 year period where, you know, Joseph Lister, all the way up to Fleming and the discovery of penicillin and antibiotics, that to me is the breakthrough of Medicine 2.0.9700:13:00,580 --> 00:13:12,580That's the breakthrough right there. We just did it. We just, we got through it. Now we're in like the 1900s, right? Isn't that when penicillin, penicillin came out in like the late 1800s. That's what he just said.9800:13:12,580 --> 00:13:24,580That's all good things, right? It's all amazing. It's interesting to look at the history and to see like how little people had when it came to medicine.9900:13:24,580 --> 00:13:32,580Like I really just take, I take this Tylenol for granted, you know, because like I am, I might be one inclined to take an ibuprofen. Not currently.10000:13:32,580 --> 00:13:42,580Not in the last few years, but like I am, like I'm more willing to accept an ibuprofen in my body than I am much other medicine. Does that make sense?10100:13:42,580 --> 00:13:51,580Like, am I weird for that? Like I'm more willing to, like I'm so willing to take NyQuil. I'm so like just automatic with the NyQuil. If I'm not feeling well, that is like my medicine.10200:13:51,580 --> 00:13:56,580Isn't that the joke with like Mexican parents? They're just gonna put some Vicks on your chest.10300:13:56,580 --> 00:14:05,580It's like these things like are just become automatic within our lives and culture, but yet there was a time when there was no Vicks.10400:14:05,580 --> 00:14:12,580There was a time when there was no NyQuil or penicillin. You know, like that's crazy. People were dying.10500:14:12,580 --> 00:14:21,580So just that is a good thing about the medicine. That is an amazing thing about doctors and about scientists and about about the process of science.10600:14:21,580 --> 00:14:30,580Is that it leads to discoveries like these, you know, and it's the process of science that takes people on a on a weird, you know, tangent.10700:14:30,580 --> 00:14:43,580You know, like a person might be seeking a certain a certain outcome, but as they engage with the process of science, they end up finding they discover something else that they didn't expect.10800:14:43,580 --> 00:14:58,580And that's like it just aligns with life and it aligns with just like how how God works. And I do think there is a way that we can that us as people, individuals, citizens, we can take on this the scientific process.10900:14:58,580 --> 00:15:08,580But here I'm going on about how it how it peaked, how medicine 2.0 peaked. Medicine 2.0 comes from basically three things.11000:15:08,580 --> 00:15:30,580One is the the the advent and acceptance of germ theory, the development of the process of scientific thinking, and then really the crown jewel of medicine 2.0, which doesn't come along until much later, is the statistical machinery to enable randomized control trials.11100:15:30,580 --> 00:15:39,580Medicine 2.0 has really peaked. Right. So it's it's been very good at dealing with acute conditions.11200:15:39,580 --> 00:15:52,580You know, you get hit by a car, you have a life threatening infection, you suffer an MI Mario Kartal infarction and you want to make sure someone doesn't die. Medicine 2.0 is amazing for those things.11300:15:52,580 --> 00:16:12,580I had a look up what Mario Mario in Cardinal. I had a look at it's a heart attack. He he referenced a heart attack. Myocardial infarction, Farkon, not Fartson infarction, which is super relevant heart disease is like the leading cause of death within America.11400:16:12,580 --> 00:16:31,580And and then the second one is cancer. So he's talking about how on the good side of the medicine, it has kept people alive. It has sustained wounds to a degree where you can stabilize the situation and then you can give that wound real time to heal.11500:16:31,580 --> 00:16:54,580And that's incredible. Like that is so good. And hearing this and understanding this understanding this history of where it's come, it can be it can be extremely sad to think about the current state of things and to think about how, you know, I can only speak for America, right?11600:16:54,580 --> 00:17:07,580It's like 10 grand for an ambulance. You need to pay like $10,000 for an ambulance. Last week, there was a fire across my road. There was a fire at the apartment across my building.11700:17:07,580 --> 00:17:20,580And the fire like they had like 20 fire trucks out and I just I don't know who's going to pay for that. I don't know who pays for the fire trucks. But what I'm saying is like the way the systems that protect Americans, they cost a lot of money.11800:17:20,580 --> 00:17:30,580And this is true throughout the whole world, but we have the system where you got to like the person who's receiving that is paying that. Not just because because they're the person who needs it.11900:17:30,580 --> 00:17:55,580Like it's crazy. And science and medicine has only created these profiteering structures that that pretty much harm people, in my opinion, they truly harm people because if you have any sort of health insurance in America, you know, it's not a good idea if you're already sick.12000:17:55,580 --> 00:18:12,580If you need health insurance, it's going to cost you a lot of money upfront and then the price might go up later. If you need immediate medical assistance, if you want to go to the hospital, it's going to cost you six grand to stay at the hospital overnight.12100:18:12,580 --> 00:18:18,580You know, so you might as well go to the urgent care because it's a cheaper free thing and they might be able to just do it the same.12200:18:18,580 --> 00:18:27,580Like you have these like premium and normal selections and then you have like a general generic selection and then you just have like whatever else.12300:18:27,580 --> 00:18:36,580Then you have like the quack stuff. Then you have like the stuff that people are going to judge you for. And it's really just not working. It's not working at all.12400:18:36,580 --> 00:18:50,580And I'm confident to say that we are all in agreement with that. And it's extremely easy for for one to be scrolling through Twitter like myself and I can retweet every like fuck Fauci thing I can.12500:18:50,580 --> 00:19:09,580I can save and bookmark every single government meme that I see. I can engage with anger. Like that's a real trap. You know, the anger trap, whether it be like a TikTok or a real or some sort of post, anything that just like riles you up.12600:19:09,580 --> 00:19:24,580Like just like that continues to complain or continues to dispute hate. Like that's a trap right there. And for like for our souls, right, for our like like we demand justice side of our souls.12700:19:24,580 --> 00:19:40,580Like that anger feels good. You know, if you've been paying attention throughout COVID, like you've probably experienced anger and you've probably experienced like you want to revolt and you want to burn down the building and you want to like, you want to revolution.12800:19:40,580 --> 00:20:07,580Like you want like I've definitely felt this like I felt this insane, just this insane like 300 type energy surging through my veins. And I just like I'm what would happen like I come up with storylines like what would happen if there was an assassination on every medical leader ever like I go through these like scenarios like what if there was a movie?12900:20:07,580 --> 00:20:22,580What if there was a movie where like every corrupt person was like no longer on earth? Would the corruption still be around? And then like if I give myself time to work through that I go, yeah, there would be there would still be corruption.13000:20:22,580 --> 00:20:45,580It's not going to work. So like, I think I'm in a headspace where I can acknowledge that the people who make the systems corrupt are also just people. And any mistake or any, yeah, any mistake, anything that medicine 2.0 has done has committed or has tried to hidden.13100:20:45,580 --> 00:21:06,580Like, we need to I need to acknowledge that those are people making those decisions. And even on March 13th, 2020, it was no matter how giggly they might have seemed no matter how cheery they might have been shutting down the entire globe shutting down the entire country the entire economy.13200:21:06,580 --> 00:21:18,580Like, I got to understand I need to hold on to that those are human beings. And they're making choices and continue the empathy.13300:21:18,580 --> 00:21:22,580Let's see what else he has to say. So that was 2.0 right now. What's 3.0?13400:21:22,580 --> 00:21:47,580What I argue is that we have reached the limits of medicine 2.0's capacity. And if longevity is something we are aspiring for, we need a new strategy we need a we need as fundamental a shift as 2.0 was from 1.0 and that is to 3.0 and 3.0 is basically predicated on evidence informed, as opposed to evidence based guidelines.13500:21:47,580 --> 00:22:00,580It is predicated on absurdly early preventative measures for chronic conditions which are now the dominant source of morbidity and mortality, it's no longer acute conditions.13600:22:00,580 --> 00:22:10,580And it has to be highly personalized, and I'm arguing that we're not of course yet in medicine 3.0, but we're now in that transition. And what I'm arguing is we should be accelerating that.13700:22:10,580 --> 00:22:29,580Absolutely. I agree. I agree 100%. Let's accelerate it dude. That makes me think about there's this thing where he said, he said, verify, we can verify this. It's based on this medicine 3.0 concept is based on, let me just go back to it real quick. I think it was right here.13800:22:29,580 --> 00:22:45,580Be highly personalized, and I'm longer acute conditions conditions which are now the dominant source on absurdly early preventative absurdly I'm sorry I'm sort of like breaking my own rule about hitting reverse on the on the clip here I think it's right here.13900:22:45,580 --> 00:22:57,580What did he say, and 3.0 is basically predicated on evidence informed evidence informed that's what I want to say, evidence informed.14000:22:57,580 --> 00:23:01,580Instead of evidence based.14100:23:01,580 --> 00:23:06,580Because the institutions, the one reason why the institutions can be corrupt is because they can.14200:23:06,580 --> 00:23:17,580They can have their thing be evidence based. It's based on this evidence, but it needs to be14300:23:17,580 --> 00:23:31,580predicated on evidence informed informed. Right. Like, what's the difference what's the difference between based and informed based, I think, if we're to just stay in this covert situation.14400:23:31,580 --> 00:23:48,580We had a base of of data that made it seem like it would be smart to lock down everyone and keep them in their homes. But now that we're informed. We know that that is not correct that is not the path that is not good.14500:23:48,580 --> 00:24:09,580So I think that's the main difference and that is the future of medicine, to be able to to establish a process of of understanding results. He said earlier in the clip about how one of the real innovations with with medicine 2.0 is the advent of the, he said, he said,14600:24:09,580 --> 00:24:20,580the machinery, he said, the machinery of clinical based data, right, or clinical based research.14700:24:20,580 --> 00:24:29,580Any study like we need studies. Every time a person is going to like talk about carnivore, they might give you a study.14800:24:29,580 --> 00:24:41,580If a vegan is going to give you some some propaganda, they're going to give you a study. Anytime anyone wants to make a point, they're going to give you a study and that is evidence based.14900:24:41,580 --> 00:24:54,580But now we need to be evidence informed. We need to understand outcomes before they happen. We need to know the outcome before we implement it.15000:24:54,580 --> 00:25:03,580And how does that happen? That sounds like you're trying to predict the future. It sounds like it doesn't sound real. It doesn't sound possible.15100:25:03,580 --> 00:25:11,580But I'm going to tell you it is. I'm going to tell you it's it's 100% possible and clearly we're in a transition of making it possible.15200:25:11,580 --> 00:25:26,580And I believe it's real. I absolutely believe it's real because when I think about it, when I try to work down the line. So I'm 26. He's talking about the future of how we prevent diseases.15300:25:26,580 --> 00:25:47,580When I'm 56, when I'm the age of Joe Rogan, what is medicine going to be, man? What am I going to have access to? I hope I hope I can give like a little like like an itty bitty like lighter like I can I can give a lighter size vial of blood.15400:25:47,580 --> 00:25:58,580And I can insert that in a little AI box. I got a little R2D2 with me and it's an R2 is telling me what cancer I got. Like that's what I think is going to happen.15500:25:58,580 --> 00:26:07,580Hopefully, maybe not. Maybe not. But regardless of my fantasies, there's an evolution happening here.15600:26:07,580 --> 00:26:19,580And if you're an individual who wants stronger systems, we need to engage with those better systems and we need to call for those better systems.15700:26:19,580 --> 00:26:26,580Something that Atiya says in the first chapter of his book. So that clip you just heard that was from a podcast.15800:26:26,580 --> 00:26:38,580When I was reading his book, the one sentence that really stuck out to me was, if we want a better medicine system, then it's going to come from the patients.15900:26:38,580 --> 00:26:47,580It's going to come from when the patients demand it. So let's demand it. Let's do it. Let's demand the better system.16000:26:47,580 --> 00:26:58,580Let's do this, boys. Come on. Let's go. I'm ready. I'm ready for the revolution. I'm ready to demand my doctor to prevent my disease.16100:26:58,580 --> 00:27:10,580Prevent my disease, doctor. Or else. Is that possible? The only way that's possible is with AI, right?16200:27:10,580 --> 00:27:18,580How else are we supposed to move into this world where we can prevent disease? Of course, the simple stuff is exercise.16300:27:18,580 --> 00:27:29,580And that's what Atiya says as well. The number one stuff is exercise and diet and emotional health and very basic things.16400:27:29,580 --> 00:27:35,580But as the medicine evolves, that's got to involve artificial intelligence.16500:27:35,580 --> 00:27:50,580People get scared about this. People get really freaked out about, I shouldn't say people, I should say the media most recently has been really pushing the idea that AI is scary.16600:27:50,580 --> 00:28:03,580And there was this, earlier this week, there was some AI conference and a thousand people in the industry signed this thing where they're going to stop doing AI for six months.16700:28:03,580 --> 00:28:10,580And if that's going to do anything and the media wants to be afraid of it, it's going to take away everything. It's going to change everything.16800:28:10,580 --> 00:28:17,580Some people want you to think it's going to take away jobs. Some people want you to think it's going to take away humans. It's going to kill you.16900:28:17,580 --> 00:28:22,580And I just think it's going to help us make better medicine. I think it's going to help us make better movies.17000:28:22,580 --> 00:28:28,580I think it's going to make, just generally, better stuff. Hopefully.17100:28:28,580 --> 00:28:41,580But that requires, I mean, if that theory is correct, if we're moving forward throughout a transition, then that means that there's going to be people who are like, he mentioned a few names, like Fleming.17200:28:41,580 --> 00:28:48,580Fleming was the guy who was a part of founding Penicillin, right? I think so.17300:28:48,580 --> 00:29:10,580Fleming? I have one clip here from the Lex Friedman show. And if we're discussing individuals, if we're trying to predict who might be a person that can affect or can enable medicine 3.0,17400:29:10,580 --> 00:29:24,580I think it might be the people who are building the AI. But how would that be possible? I was listening to this Lex Friedman interview with the guy who's in charge of OpenAI, this company.17500:29:24,580 --> 00:29:31,580This guy's name is Sam Altman, and he's the CEO of Chachie P.T.17600:29:31,580 --> 00:29:37,580He's been with it since 2016 himself, or maybe even earlier.17700:29:37,580 --> 00:29:53,580And this podcast is interesting because they go through the whole gamut. They go through the entire fear and positive, and they go through how are these models trained, and they go into all this stuff, right?17800:29:53,580 --> 00:30:02,580This is the most interesting moment that I found in this episode with Sam Altman. They're speaking to alignment.17900:30:02,580 --> 00:30:16,580And I think that's a key word when it comes to the future of medicine. Alignment. The future of AI. Alignment. The future of community. Alignment. The future of Earth. Alignment.18000:30:16,580 --> 00:30:25,580It feels like you're kind of on the same page. It's trying to help you. It's the feeling of alignment. Yes. I mean, that could be a more technical term for it.18100:30:25,580 --> 00:30:30,580And you're saying that not much data is required for that, not much human supervision is required for that.18200:30:30,580 --> 00:30:42,580Would it be fair we understand the science of this part at a much earlier stage than we do the science of creating these large pre-trained models in the first place? But yes, much less data.18300:30:42,580 --> 00:30:53,580That's so interesting. The science of human guidance. That's a very interesting science. That's going to be a very important science to understand.18400:30:53,580 --> 00:31:04,580How to make it usable. How to make it wise. How to make it ethical. How to make it aligned in terms of all the kind of stuff we think about.18500:31:04,580 --> 00:31:13,580And it matters which are the humans and what is the process of incorporating that human feedback and what are you asking the humans? Is it two things? Are you asking them to rank things?18600:31:13,580 --> 00:31:25,580We're worried about the AI not being ethical. What about all the humans that are unethical? I just thought that clip was interesting. I'm looking for alignment.18700:31:25,580 --> 00:31:30,580I'm looking for alignment with AI. I'm looking for it to help me. I'm looking for it as a tool.18800:31:30,580 --> 00:31:51,580And if there's a doctor who sees a future where medicine is preventable or medicine is what prevents the disease, then I've got to believe that humans need to take a conscious guidance around this.18900:31:51,580 --> 00:32:01,580Because for the last hundred years, our medicine system has been guided by money. By money being conscious. Money has been conscious.19000:32:01,580 --> 00:32:17,580And now we desperately need the humans to become conscious. And we need to guide our technology towards ways that actually enable us for a better life and a better body and a better earth.19100:32:17,580 --> 00:32:26,580We desperately need that. And that means that we shouldn't engage with unhealthy systems.19200:32:26,580 --> 00:32:36,580On some sort of weird individual level, you need to make a choice to do that better thing. You need to make that choice to take the high road.19300:32:36,580 --> 00:32:45,580You need to make that choice to not go into the bar or not go into this whatever place if it's harming you.19400:32:45,580 --> 00:32:55,580And I think as a culture, as a country, we have this system of medicine and healthcare and government. It's been harming us. That's my opinion.19500:32:55,580 --> 00:33:05,580It's been harming us. And we have a responsibility to make it better. And to make it aligned. We have a responsibility to guide it.19600:33:05,580 --> 00:33:18,580Humans have a responsibility to guide it. So let's do it. Let's do it. Come on. Come on now. There's hope. There's hope for humanity, people. There's hope.19700:33:18,580 --> 00:33:25,580There's also hope for the people who support the show. We're going to head on into the boosts. Whoops. Whoops. Whoops. Whoops.19800:33:25,580 --> 00:33:32,580We're going to head into the boosts. Is that effect still on or off? Okay, good. I think it's off.19900:33:32,580 --> 00:33:43,580I hit the way. You know what I did. Folks, we're off. Let me do that again. Shit. Folks, we're going to head on into the boosts.20000:33:43,580 --> 00:33:52,580America Plus is a value for value show. What that means is I put effort into this content. I do my damn best to get my point across.20100:33:52,580 --> 00:33:59,580And I think I produce a good product. And I give it up to you. You have the ability to show me how valuable it is.20200:33:59,580 --> 00:34:05,580And you can do that through multiple ways. You can do that through your time, talent, or treasure. If you don't know what I'm talking about,20300:34:05,580 --> 00:34:12,580you can head on to the website valueforvalue.info. That's value number four. And then value again, dot info.20400:34:12,580 --> 00:34:20,580To check out, you can see a whole page of how you can engage with value for value. My girlfriend calls it favor for favor.20500:34:20,580 --> 00:34:27,580So that's a little more fun. That's a good time. If you're just listening to this, that's valuable.20600:34:27,580 --> 00:34:33,580If you want to give up any of your talent, if you want to help me with a project, I'm talking about websites, I'm talking about business,20700:34:33,580 --> 00:34:39,580I'm talking about Bitcoin. I'm talking about a lot of things. If you want to help me, give me some talent with any of that.20800:34:39,580 --> 00:34:47,580I don't know what it's going to bring, but let's engage with that. Or if you have any treasure. If you have any, I say Satoshis.20900:34:47,580 --> 00:34:53,580I prefer Satoshis. We're doing all this. We're doing value for value mainly through the Fountain app.21000:34:53,580 --> 00:35:02,580That is the best app to engage with America Plus. It's the fountain.fm app. It's the only app that pays you.21100:35:02,580 --> 00:35:10,580This isn't like an ad for it. I've just been like a cheerleader for it. I swear to God. I don't get paid from Fountain. I get paid from you.21200:35:10,580 --> 00:35:21,580Hello Shannon. I'm still recording, just so you know. Yeah, Fountain. It's legit. Every month, every last Sunday of the month,21300:35:21,580 --> 00:35:31,580I do this thing called SatSlinger. Last week, you missed it. Or at least I hope you didn't. SatSlinger is when I give away thousands of Satoshis.21400:35:31,580 --> 00:35:41,580Last week I gave away like 4,100 Satoshis. What do you think of that? That's just free money. Just for listening.21500:35:41,580 --> 00:35:49,580If you're listening to any podcast on Fountain, you're literally getting free money, which I think is insane.21600:35:49,580 --> 00:35:58,580The future. This is podcasting 2.0. We're talking about the future here, folks. It doesn't stop. It never stops.21700:35:58,580 --> 00:36:06,580I'm going to be reading some of the boosts from the last episode, from the SatSlinger. Let me head there real quick.21800:36:06,580 --> 00:36:15,580I had it, and then it's not there anymore. But we're going to get there right now. These people saw value in my words.21900:36:15,580 --> 00:36:22,580These people are willing to engage their words with this experience. So right off the bat, thank you to them.22000:36:22,580 --> 00:36:30,580I'm going to go from the lowest to the highest. The first person to give their value is at Leslavic.22100:36:30,580 --> 00:36:40,580They send in 100 Sats, and they give a little heart. It's a little old school text heart. Thank you so much.22200:36:40,580 --> 00:36:48,580At HJ, you send in 100 Sats. They go, HBD, happy birthday!22300:36:48,580 --> 00:36:49,580Boost me, bitch.22400:36:49,580 --> 00:36:55,580Thank you. Yeah, last week was my birthday. I forgot to mention that. I turned 26 last week. I was at Universal.22500:36:55,580 --> 00:37:01,580It was a hell of a time, and I gave away money. I gave money to my audience on my birthday.22600:37:01,580 --> 00:37:04,580I think that's a sign that I'm a good person, right?22700:37:04,580 --> 00:37:10,580At Frodo33, 100 Sats, thank you for a great show. Thank you.22800:37:10,580 --> 00:37:11,580Boost.22900:37:11,580 --> 00:37:15,580Thank you for the great show. Thank you for the Sats, Frodo.23000:37:15,580 --> 00:37:24,580And then at Frodo33, again, happy birthday, bro. I'm glad to have you as a new podcast saved on my favorites.23100:37:24,580 --> 00:37:25,580Boost.23200:37:25,580 --> 00:37:26,580Boost me, bitch.23300:37:26,580 --> 00:37:32,580Thank you. Thank you, Frodo. Dude, I'm happy I'm in your favorites. I never know when that happens.23400:37:32,580 --> 00:37:40,580I never know the followers. It's so hard to know who's really listening to a podcast, but it's these Satoshis23500:37:40,580 --> 00:37:46,580and it's these messages that can actually confirm the value. That's the feedback loop that gets me going.23600:37:46,580 --> 00:37:48,580That gives me some dopamine, dude.23700:37:48,580 --> 00:37:57,580At CryptoSinos, CryptoSinos, you send in 101 Sats, you say, happy birthday. Thank you.23800:37:57,580 --> 00:38:03,580And now, as the French say, it is time for the boost.23900:38:07,580 --> 00:38:16,580At VikingUSA, 411 Sats. He says, happy birthday. Keep spreading the solid info.24000:38:16,580 --> 00:38:17,580Yes, sir. Yes, sir.24100:38:17,580 --> 00:38:18,580Boost me, bitch.24200:38:18,580 --> 00:38:24,580Yes, I will. Yes, I will. And then we got my boy. My boy. My guy.24300:38:24,580 --> 00:38:38,580Joel. Joel W. He sends in 1,111 Sats. He comments, only in LA will... I'm sorry. Let me start over.24400:38:38,580 --> 00:38:48,580Only in LA could a homeless man vegetarian exist. WTF? Sounds like dude got his hustle tuned in, though.24500:38:48,580 --> 00:38:52,580Basically, you put Bitcoin with anything, and all of a sudden, that is more efficient.24600:38:52,580 --> 00:38:56,580Joel's commenting on the homeless man story I had last week.24700:38:56,580 --> 00:39:02,580I'm walking into Sprouts, and this homeless man asks me if I can buy him any hummus.24800:39:02,580 --> 00:39:08,580And I'm like, okay. And then I decided to buy him some more stuff. I decided to be a good person.24900:39:08,580 --> 00:39:14,580I bought him hummus, a loaf of bread, and some venison bites, because venison is delicious.25000:39:14,580 --> 00:39:19,580And then he gets it. He's like, oh, dude, sorry, man. I'm vegetarian.25100:39:19,580 --> 00:39:23,580Okay, dude. Sorry. That's what Joel's saying.25200:39:23,580 --> 00:39:28,580And then the last two are from Joel W. as well. So at Joel W., he sends in another 1,000...25300:39:28,580 --> 00:39:33,580I think this is called, what, a row of sticks? A bag of sticks? I forget what this one's called.25400:39:33,580 --> 00:39:40,5801,111. He goes, favor for favor boost for your girlfriend's A-plus cake. Hey now.25500:39:40,580 --> 00:39:46,580Boost me, bitch. Hey now. Hey. That's true. My girlfriend has nice cake.25600:39:46,580 --> 00:39:50,580Oh, she's in the bathroom. I thought she was going to laugh. Never mind.25700:39:50,580 --> 00:39:55,580But Joel, thank you for complimenting the artwork. He was complimenting the episode...25800:39:55,580 --> 00:40:02,580Number 63's artwork. Little shout out to Shannon Passy. She got 10% of the sats from the Satslinger.25900:40:02,580 --> 00:40:08,580That happens every Satslinger, because she deserves it. Because she makes these fun little drawings.26000:40:08,580 --> 00:40:11,580They're very adorable. They're very cute. They're very good.26100:40:11,580 --> 00:40:17,580And the last one, at Joel W. This is crazy. I didn't expect this. When I saw this come up, I didn't...26200:40:17,580 --> 00:40:28,580My jaw dropped. Joel W. sends in 11,111 sats. He added them. He added them.26300:40:28,580 --> 00:40:32,580And now, for a late birthday boost. Joel!26400:40:32,580 --> 00:40:37,580Basically, you put Bitcoin with anything, and all of a sudden, that is more efficient.26500:40:37,580 --> 00:40:43,580And now, as the French say... Thank you Joel. Thank you so freaking much Joel.26600:40:43,580 --> 00:40:46,580I love you for that. Thank you for the birthday boost.26700:40:46,580 --> 00:40:52,580Shout out to everyone who donated. Shout out to everyone who gave all their value.26800:40:52,580 --> 00:40:57,580Any of their value. Thank you so much. I couldn't be more appreciative to all of you people.26900:40:57,580 --> 00:41:04,580It's beautiful to see people come in here, and to just engage with this.27000:41:04,580 --> 00:41:09,580And to actually see what America Plus is.27100:41:09,580 --> 00:41:14,580America Plus is simply just like the most raw version of myself, Cole McCormick.27200:41:14,580 --> 00:41:19,580And I'm trying to build something cool here. I'm trying to point to a brighter future.27300:41:19,580 --> 00:41:26,580I'm trying to create better narratives. I'm trying to encourage people to create their own positive narratives.27400:41:26,580 --> 00:41:33,580We all need a good story to cling on to. We all need something to wrap our minds in throughout the day.27500:41:33,580 --> 00:41:38,580What are we doing this for? What are we moving towards? We need that.27600:41:38,580 --> 00:41:47,580And America Plus is just a symbol, and it's a place where I can experiment, and be honest, and be my most raw self.27700:41:47,580 --> 00:41:53,580As I develop myself. That's what I want. That's what I always loved about podcasting.27800:41:53,580 --> 00:42:00,580I'm able to be raw, and I'm able to learn and develop. It's just incredible. It's so empowering.27900:42:00,580 --> 00:42:05,580And since we're in the back half of the show, I want to talk about my own creations for a minute.28000:42:05,580 --> 00:42:12,580I want to talk about my creative process. I'm talking about my content creation. The podcast isn't the only thing that I do.28100:42:12,580 --> 00:42:18,580I've been doing TikToks. I've been doing Facebook Reels. I've been doing Instagrams, and yada yada yada.28200:42:18,580 --> 00:42:24,580I've been doing all this stuff. I've been trying to do YouTube videos, like longer form stuff, and doing shorts, of course.28300:42:24,580 --> 00:42:32,580And I started this journey in January, and I remember I had to buy this calendar.28400:42:32,580 --> 00:42:37,580I had to buy this calendar, and I wanted to stick it to the wall, and I'm going to do my calendar.28500:42:37,580 --> 00:42:44,580And I wrote out... This is in early January. I wrote all the way through March.28600:42:44,580 --> 00:42:52,580And I was like, I'll focus on April when it gets to April. But in these first three months, this is what I'm doing.28700:42:52,580 --> 00:42:57,580And I stayed pretty consistent with it. I'm not going to lie. I stayed fairly consistent with it.28800:42:57,580 --> 00:43:05,580I was making shorts every day. I was developing a process to make my shorts. I was trying to figure out what I want to post.28900:43:05,580 --> 00:43:14,580I'm posting my drawings. I have this daily drawing practice, and I'm trying to figure out how my fantasy world is going to look like.29000:43:14,580 --> 00:43:23,580I'm using these drawings as inspiration for animations that I'm working on, too.29100:43:23,580 --> 00:43:34,580And I feel like there's something... It's like a very slow, slow, slow wheel has begun to spin. Extremely slow. Extremely.29200:43:34,580 --> 00:43:40,580But it is now in the process of spinning. And I feel grateful for it.29300:43:40,580 --> 00:43:46,580Now we're in April. Now my calendar is definitely empty. I only have until tomorrow written out.29400:43:46,580 --> 00:43:53,580And all I have is just more shorts. That's all I have written down. More shorts. More videos.29500:43:53,580 --> 00:43:58,580I think I wrote down... What does it say? Pray more? I'm trying to pray more in April.29600:43:58,580 --> 00:44:06,580But I'm in this place where I don't feel lost, but I don't feel like I know where I'm going either.29700:44:06,580 --> 00:44:14,580Does anyone know how that feels like? It's like I had all these ideas. I've had these instincts to move a certain way.29800:44:14,580 --> 00:44:27,580I quit my job in October, dude, and I've been in this weird spot where I'm just selling all my stocks, and I'm just living off hope and prayer.29900:44:27,580 --> 00:44:34,580It's just some crazy... It's crazy right now. It's crazy. And then I'm seeing the entire world collapse. I'm seeing the banks collapse.30000:44:34,580 --> 00:44:43,580I'm seeing the financial people just lie about what's going on. And I just can't believe it. I'm like, is this really going on? Is this really happening?30100:44:43,580 --> 00:44:55,580How much time is there? Until something really breaks. And here I am trying to put in as much time to build something.30200:44:55,580 --> 00:45:08,580And I'm in this weird juxtaposed position to everything else. I'm in a different spot than a lot of my friends. I'm in a different spot than every institution.30300:45:08,580 --> 00:45:16,580I'm trying to build my own institution. I'm in a different spot than my sisters. I'm in a different spot than my dad was when he was 26.30400:45:16,580 --> 00:45:25,580When my dad was my age, he already had a family. When my dad was my age, he was already a family man.30500:45:25,580 --> 00:45:37,580And I'm not alone in my kitchen. Shannon's in the other room. But I'm alone in my kitchen in LA, and I'm doing a podcast, and it's just like, what are we building to?30600:45:37,580 --> 00:45:49,580I continue to say what I'm building to. It's like, I can get in my head a lot. But it's not good. I speak that to say it's not good to be in my head.30700:45:49,580 --> 00:46:05,580It's not good at all, Cole. You don't need to do that. Something that I heard earlier that's helping me think and helping me understand my continual evolution.30800:46:05,580 --> 00:46:14,580There was this quote in this one podcast. It was this Aubrey Marcus podcast that I was listening to. Aubrey Marcus, he does more spiritual stuff.30900:46:14,580 --> 00:46:26,580And this really good line came up that him and the guest said. They said, you cannot be the master and the victim at the same time.31000:46:26,580 --> 00:46:32,580And I just thought that was brilliant. You cannot be the master and the victim at the same time.31100:46:32,580 --> 00:46:45,580That pokes a hole in everyone's bubble. That really just tears down your wall with some silly instruments. That's crazy right there.31200:46:45,580 --> 00:46:59,580That's true. That's true. You're either one or the other. It's very rare. Of course, life is gray and all this and all the stuff.31300:46:59,580 --> 00:47:07,580But you have the ability to choose how you identify as the master or the victim. Have you been victimized your entire life?31400:47:07,580 --> 00:47:14,580Have you been victimized in the last six months? Have you been victimized by something? Are you the master of this situation?31500:47:14,580 --> 00:47:26,580Are you the master of your body? Are you the master of your mind? Are you the master of the community? Are you a master of a friendship?31600:47:26,580 --> 00:47:34,580Do you have a handle on it? How do you choose to have a handle on it? Or is something else handling it?31700:47:34,580 --> 00:47:41,580And that just inspired me this week. That inspired me to look at my problems.31800:47:41,580 --> 00:47:56,580I mentioned this ecommerce website. I've made zero sales. Maybe this can be a silly little shill from my Shopify store. Cozy Q.31900:47:56,580 --> 00:48:09,580Cozy Q! Yes sir! Cozy Q is the business I made. The reason I discuss problems and stuff is I thought it was going to be easy.32000:48:09,580 --> 00:48:16,580It's only been a few weeks. I've only had the store up for two weeks and I'm upset that I don't have any sales.32100:48:16,580 --> 00:48:23,580It's just because these dumb TikToks. Every guy who has a Shopify store gets 10 grand a product. It's so crazy.32200:48:23,580 --> 00:48:31,580They're just blind and bullshitting of course. But I watch that and I compare myself. And I don't have that.32300:48:31,580 --> 00:48:42,580But my idea with Cozy Q, this whole brand idea, is to make your home more cozy. That's the idea for the website.32400:48:42,580 --> 00:48:51,580So if you go to CozyQshop.com right now, you're going to see a cute little dog and a cute little cat and a nice warm blanket on the front page.32500:48:51,580 --> 00:49:02,580And I think it's cozy. And I think this is a good idea. And this Cozy Q thing, it just popped in my head. When I discovered the Shopify thing,32600:49:02,580 --> 00:49:15,580for some reason this cat within the letter Q just came into my mind. And I had to act on it right away. It was a super impulsive thing.32700:49:15,580 --> 00:49:27,580I bought Mid Journey for the month and I made this AI logo. And then I had the AI make a realistic photo of a dog in a living room.32800:49:27,580 --> 00:49:35,580And it just looks cozy and it looks nice. And I was like, wow, this is sick. And then all of a sudden the website looked legit.32900:49:35,580 --> 00:49:41,580And then I got my license to collect sales tax in California. Like, oh shit, this is real. This is real.33000:49:41,580 --> 00:49:52,580And it's like, damn, I want to do this now. And I want to use this. My idea with this is to allow me to practice growing a brand.33100:49:52,580 --> 00:50:01,580And holding a brand. Representing a brand. And hopefully people vibe with it. People are attracted to it.33200:50:01,580 --> 00:50:11,580So we'll see. So I'm trying to put attention to this. One of my new businesses, Cozy Q, folks. Come on down to Cozy Q. Get your home more cozy. Get more cozy.33300:50:11,580 --> 00:50:22,580You know? Get a little hat for your cat. Or you can get a mushroom hat for you. You can get some cute little mushroom night lights.33400:50:22,580 --> 00:50:30,580Or you can get some kitchen organizing. I'm just bullshitting right now, folks. I don't know what I'm doing.33500:50:30,580 --> 00:50:36,580This website's real. This business is real. But I don't know what I'm doing right now. I'm just laughing. I'm vibing right now.33600:50:36,580 --> 00:50:42,580If you've made it this far, thank you for... thank you. I'm just trying to learn here.33700:50:42,580 --> 00:50:52,580And the other thing I'm doing, the most recent thing I'm doing is I'm on Fiverr now. I'm trying to do narration and just like voice acting.33800:50:52,580 --> 00:51:01,580So we'll see if this works. Fiverr has to approve my freaking tax form. I don't know why the hell they gotta do that. Why can't you just... I don't... whatever.33900:51:01,580 --> 00:51:06,580But it's gonna take a few days for them to approve my tax form and then I can start freelancing.34000:51:06,580 --> 00:51:17,580So hopefully, fingers crossed, people enjoy my voice. I think it's interesting. I think it's nice. I think it's... I think it's payable.34100:51:17,580 --> 00:51:26,580I'm doing these random ass things, dude. While I'm trying to build a fantasy world, while I'm trying to learn animation, while I'm trying to pay the bills.34200:51:26,580 --> 00:51:35,580This is high risk. This is high risk. And you get to live it through me, okay? Like, whatever... if you're in a safe little...34300:51:35,580 --> 00:51:43,580If you're in your truck right now, stay in your truck. Don't get a 2000 Buick, okay? That's what I got.34400:51:43,580 --> 00:51:48,580Don't get a busted up Buick, okay? Like, stay in your nice truck.34500:51:48,580 --> 00:51:57,580The guy who parks next to me, him and his family just got this... it looks like a Bronco. It looks like a Bronco truck. I'm like, how the hell do you get a Bronco, dude?34600:51:57,580 --> 00:52:08,580Next to this Buick. But the Buick looks sick, though. There's like a cool retro vibe. Not like 90s, but not like anything specific. It's just like...34700:52:08,580 --> 00:52:13,580Older aesthetic look. It looks cool. I don't know. I don't know.34800:52:13,580 --> 00:52:20,580But what do you think of that? Do you have anything that relates to that? Have you ever done some random business? Have you ever, like...34900:52:20,580 --> 00:52:27,580How impulsive are you? Am I too impulsive? Like, should I go on the podcast impulsive? Like, I...35000:52:27,580 --> 00:52:35,580This is a moment in time that I... I'm walking by faith. Like, this is real... I just need to express that fully.35100:52:35,580 --> 00:52:44,580This is a walking by faith experience that I'm having right now. And... and I don't feel compelled to do anything else.35200:52:44,580 --> 00:52:56,580I don't feel compelled to walk down to Jimmy's Burgers and get a job. I don't feel compelled to get the Vax and go back to Warner Brothers to be a tour guide because they have a Vax mandate to work there.35300:52:56,580 --> 00:53:10,580I don't have the instinct to do anything like that. I have the instinct to lean into myself. I have the instinct to lean into my own ability and to lean into my own learning and to...35400:53:10,580 --> 00:53:17,580And to build my own system and to build my own community and to... This is an incredible moment that we're in.35500:53:17,580 --> 00:53:26,580I see so much innovation happening. I'm just trying to be a part of the innovation and maybe I'm a little irresponsible, but I think it's worth it.35600:53:26,580 --> 00:53:36,580Because I swear to God, something's gonna happen around the corner. I take a daily walk, right? The last thing before we head out. I take a daily walk every day.35700:53:36,580 --> 00:53:47,580And sometimes, like, I just try to get in a vibe, you know? I try to stay happy. I try to stay cool. And I'm listening to music and I'm in my zone and I just get this feeling.35800:53:47,580 --> 00:53:58,580I work up this feeling where I know something incredible is going to happen when I walk around the corner. And that's what I believe now. And that's what I'm telling you to believe.35900:53:58,580 --> 00:54:06,580Something amazing is about to happen around the corner. So get ready. That's America Plus, bitch. Stay free.
