Like these things that are not quick fixes, but do have life altering benefits to them.

I'd much rather see somebody start there, especially if they're under the care of a good counselor, a good therapist who's walking alongside you.

There's a whole other side to this.

That same medicalization of every uncomfortable feeling, especially in the entrepreneur space, is how we've landed with the madhouse amounts of entrepreneurs who are taking Adderall, Ritalin, that are finding themselves at capacity biologically.

You got to sleep.

You got to go hang out with people.

You can't work on your business 24-7, 365 for 14 years.

Your body will say, I quit.

And so when you start taking amphetamines to amp you up and you're taking speed all day just to get through the next thing, it will help you.

No question about it.

And it will cost you everything on the back end.

And so if you spend a lot of time around folks who struggle with various forms of addiction, whether it's alcohol or Adderall or sex, whatever it is, the dirty secret is those things really work.

They're amazing until they take everything from you.

And so it's being able to forego the short-term benefit of, yeah, it really helps.

I got to do this thing and not get to do this thing with, hey, that's going to cost you everything in the end.

And so let's get to the bottom of why you're struggling, get to the bottom of capacity, and let's build a life over the next 10 or 20 or 30 years that's sustainable.

I guess the best example I can give you is just a personal one from my life.

My show took off.

So you have to understand for 20 years, I was in education and universities.

I was a nerd.
