In this podcast we start by talking about a continuation of the last podcast subject, which is that our subconscious minds takes in way more data than our conscious mind can and the importance of letting our subconscious mind help us solve our problems. We talk about the importance of belief and how belief in oneself may be the most important factor for success. I relay the ( partly apocryphal) oft repeated story about Thomas Edison's mother home schooling him after he was kicked out of school for being not good in school. (NOTE: HE was removed from school and was homeschooled by his mother, but there apparently was no note from school that she lied to him about.). We talk about how our society and school system really isnt very good at predicting success stories. QUOTE FROM THIS SECTION: "Whether you think you can or you think you cannot, either way you are right." We briefly discuss how ADHD meds inhibit creativity. We talk about Jimmy's high school years and how he already was making money playing music while still in high schoool and then we discuss how Russell Brunson was making six figures while he was in college AND wrestling at a high level (he at one point was second in the nation in collegiate wrestling). Next we talked about Simon Tam (who spoke at DIY Musician's conference last year) and how interesting his presentations were. He has the distinction of having given the most Ted talks by anyone, but he started out with 299 rejections and only 1 acceptance. He turned that 1 acceptance into now being the record holder for having had given the most Ted talks. QUOTE: " Its never what has happened to you, its how you react to what has happened to you." We talk about Tony Robbins and Gary Vee and some of the big things we've learned from both of them. Jimmy drops a gem: "We Americans too often will invest in our comfort but not invest in our happiness." We discuss how intelligent and advanced Millenials and Gen Z generations seem to be, compared to our own generations. We talk about achieving late in life, and I talk about how my sister got her Ph.d after she turned 50 and all the trials and difficulties she had to overcome to reach her goal. Jimmy shared what his three kids wanted to be when they grow up. Occupations included math teacher, physicist, Youtuber, Art teacher and artist. Finally we ended up by talking about some contemporary actors and movies: Mark Wahlberg, Adam Sandler, Post Malone's one scene in Mark Wahlbergs latest Netflix movie and our mutual respect and fanstanning of John C. Reilly.
