Things I know at 42 that I wish I knew at 22:
1. Stop using your workouts to burn fat at the gym. Use them to build muscle & get strong.

2. Quit porn. The damage it does to your brain is too great of a cost.

3. Instead of using porn, drugs & alcohol to numb what you're feeling learn how to deal with your emotions.
4. Your diet affects your mood, energy & body. What you put in is what you get out.

5. You can delay if not reverse the aging process by giving a fuck about your body.

6. Your parents did the best they could with what they've been taught. Forgive them & move on.
7. Call your parents. Spend time with them. You don't have as much time with them as you think.

8. Set an automatic amount of money to be saved. Invest that money. Your dollars are soldiers. Create an army to build your future.

9. Focus more on building. Less on partying.
10. Put less focus on making money & more focus on helping as many people as possible.

11. Cars, clothes, watches & houses are status plays. Community, health & relationships are true wealth markers.

12. You don't have to get it right the first time. Just fail faster.
13. Never compare yourself to other people's highlight reels. Especially on social media.

14. Surround yourself with people who are growth oriented & share similar values to you.

15. Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.
16. Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.

17. Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.

18. Learn how to fight. Fighting is like learning a language where most people are not fluent.
19. Aim to make every minute on this Earth count for something. You can always make back money but never lost time.

20. Hunt discomfort because it's the only way you'll grow as a human being.

21. The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.
I have more but I'll stop there. I'm not an old man yet but I've learned a few things in 4 decades. Hope you got value out of this.

7 bad habits that sabotage your brain health:
1. Not exercising

Not exercising on a regular basis is a recipe for brain atrophy.

Exercise improves memory by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

This helps you form new synapses and improves learning & memory.

If you want a healthy brain you need to move.
2. Not getting quality sleep

Without good sleep habits you can't form or maintain pathways in your brain that help you learn & create new memories.

It'll also be harder to concentrate & respond quickly.

Depriving yourself of sleep long enough can lead to neurological disease.

How to set up your meals to increase focus, reduce stress & boost energy levels:
Step 1 - Eat your final meal 3 to 5 hours before sleeping

This helps your body digest while priming it for sleep.

Doing this also gives you a hard stop when it comes to meals so you don't overeat at nighttime.

Aim to make this the heaviest meal of the day.
Step 2 - Eat your 2nd meal 3 to 5 hours before your final meal.

The middle meal is important as it helps you maintain steady energy throughout the day while reducing appetite at night.

Make this meal low to moderate calories to keep focus high.

A fit body is an entrepreneurs greatest asset.

I've helped 10's of thousands of people lose 100,000+ pounds over 20 years.

Here are the 5 simple things we use to help them get lean & energetic:
1) Know your numbers

We get them to track their weight, inches & workouts regularly.

We also get them to do blood work & DEXA scans every 6 to 12 months.

You need to track your numbers to know where your body stands.

What you measure you manage.
2) Eating according to their circadian rhythms

We align their meal schedule with their sleep & wake times.

We fill those meals up with nutrient dense high protein options.

This makes eating simple, reduce hunger & helps manage energy & stress levels while losing weight.

The body is like a car where it sends the owner signals when something needs fixing.

There are certain signs every man needs to look out for if he wants to live a long healthy life.

Here are 7 critical red flags to watch out for:

[Thread 🧵]
1. Having a beer belly

A man's stomach is an indicator of his level of health.

Too much belly fat surrounds the most important organs & puts men at risk for an abundance of preventable diseases.

You don't see many 80 year old obese men walking around do you?
2. Manboobs

No man should ever let their body go full "manboob".

The cause of this is low testosterone & high estrogen.

The main impact this has on men is increased anxiety, low self esteem, self consciousness, low confidence & all the symptoms that come with having low T.
