The Atlantic made a movie about me, and the film is not a huge deal. They zoom in on my midsection to make me look fat. OK.
Overall tho, my wife is hot and I am depicted as conflicted and nuanced. (True.)
But the press around it is just completely dishonest.
Here's why:
The Atlantic BEGGED me to be in what they told would be a MINOR role for me. I don't need media. I do my own media. This is all on video, so there's no room for interpretation.
I said sure as a favor to a mutual friend.
Now they are saying I wanted to be in it. Just dumb.
For whatever reason, the media narrative is that I began in 2017 and now do seminars.
It's the opposite.
In 2015 I wrote a worldwide best-selling mindset book. I did mindset seminars, mastermind groups, *before* the election.
Gorilla Mindset - released in 2015!
It won a bunch of awards and sold well.
I released it while living in Vietnam and Thailand and traveling the world.
Totally not political guy at the time.
In 2015 all I cared about was
- getting jacked
- reading / writing
- traveling
Look at my glutes, thic!
In mid-2015 I saw Trump mentioned, and knew he would win the GOP primary. This was when he had a 3% ceiling.
People kept arguing with me, and in my obstinate ways I said, I'LL SHOW YOU.
That's what dragged me away from my dream life.
In 2015 and 2016 I got active on "media Twitter," and crushed, because if you read books and lift weights all of your life, and study meditation and mindset, you have a unique talent.
That's when "the media" became obsessed with destroying me.
Hit piece after hit piece came my way, no lie was beneath them.
I never cried or apologized.
Instead.... I broke a story larger than any of my critics ever good.
Made Congressman John Conyers resign for sexual harassment.
P.S. When I was on ayahuasca, the medicine told me that the Atlantic guy was processing trauma when he made the film, so I can't attack him as he needs to heal.
This thread is all love, have a nice Saturday I am going to the beach!

This shit started in 2017 - to people who attended my event. GOP didn't give a fuck, didn't care, didn't do a thing. Now this stuff is hitting Senators years later and people want to be surprised.
When MY GUESTS get attacked, violently, by ANTIFA, where was GOP? Where was anyone? What was Rand talking about? This could have been handled years ago but GOP wanted to ignore it.
Real Shit I Wish Someone had Told me When I was a Young man.

1. Bankruptcy is not a big deal. It really isn't. Go ALL THE FUCK IN.
If you fail, whatever, fuck it, you can always get a real job or some other shit.
MANY successful people have a BK in their background.
2. Successful men are like attractive women - they'll just leave you on read.
If your social skills are weak, BYE.
No one is going to fucking teach you how to not be a "too clever by half" annoying fuck.
There are lots of books to improve your social skills.
Read them.
3. Relationships are about vibe and energy. Your job as a younger man is to bring ENERGY. You don't have any wisdom. You think you do. You think you're so smart.
