b'\\u201cI LEARN BEST BY JUMPING INTO THE UNKNOWN.\\u201d\\nThere\\u2019s one resource in this world we all take for granted: time.\\nWe\\u2019re only on this planet for a small amount of time, and we tend to build routines in our lives that makes the days roll by.\\nThe next thing we know, we look in the mirror and we\\u2019re 70. When you look at that face do you want to see a life of missed opportunities or one filled with experiences you are proud of?\\nIf you want the latter, you need to make sure you schedule time for you. Take the time to build your life resume, because that\\u2019s what makes our lives much more interesting.\\nWhen you talk about someone, do you talk about how they clock in to work on time everyday at 9 am and work late hours? Or do you talk about the places they\\u2019ve been to, and the experiences they\\u2019ve had?\\nOn this episode of The School of Greatness, I bring you back someone who has decided to build their life\\u2019s resume: Jesse Itzler.\\nImportance of taking advantage of time. Routine make life fly by. Make time for yourself - building life resume instead of business resume.\\nJesse enjoys living life "out of the box." In fact, he doesn\'t even have a box. The author of the New York Times bestseller, Living with a Seal, co founded Marquis Jet, the world\'s largest private jet card company which he and his partner sold to Berkshire Hathaway/NetJets. Jesse then partnered with Zico coconut water, which he and his partner sold to The Coca-Cola Company.\\nHe\\u2019s also the kind of person that when he wants something he grabs onto the opportunity without delay. He recently decided he needed to detox his mind from electronics and the constant multitasking of today\\u2019s world.\\nHe ended up living with monks, living in a room as small as a table, and unable to communicate with his family, just to find himself.\\nThe lessons he learned most were about the need to make time for yourself and the people around you that you care most about. In the end, that\\u2019s where you\\u2019ll have the most impact and where your true legacy will come from.\\nLearn more lessons from Jesse\\u2019s isolation and time with the monks, on Episode 652.\\nSome Questions I Ask:\\nHow was your 15 day digital detox?
