I've realized that my brain chatter is loud and often happens when I'm not realizing it

I read this book the other day called, Solve for Happy by Moe Godot.

I cannot recommend this highly enough.

This guy's the chief who I think he was the chief business officer at Google and then ended up taking on Google X. He is brilliant at a level that I cannot understand. And this book is really extraordinary.

After the passing of his son as he wrapped his head around it, it was really extraordinary.

Moe Godot, G-A-W-D-A-T. The book's called, Solve for Happy.

And then you're reading John Mark Comer, Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.

I was trying to what's the name of the book it's called the relentless elimination of hurry and it's a book by John Mark Comer and I think it's from an old Dallas will it quote.

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry but.

And it's been really hard because I drive like an idiot I drive too fast as do.

one of the things that Comer just is just drive the speed limit maybe one mile an hour under it.

I want you just to take a week two weeks just drive the speed limit wherever it is you go.

The guilt free guide to life balance is Take Back Your Time.

Life balance isn't doing everything for an equal amount of time. It's about doing the right things at the right time and when you do that, you will actually feel that sense of balance you've been looking for.

Your season is where you are, not who you are.

Well it was a tough task to write a money book when you have the Total Money Makeover the best selling personal finance book of all time and you're like I'm going to write something different and better I have big shoes to fill because the feet are still in those shoes it's still sold in the same book store So my goal was not to rewrite the Total Money Makeover the goal was to write a book that feels like I'm speaking to everyone in current times of like this is what the current state of personal finance is saying they can't get ahead and here's what I know to be true and so it was a lot of you know I start with my story of how I started broke I didn't come from money my parents were immigrants I was $40,000 in debt and over a decade of just hard work and following a proven plan my wife and I are now net worth millionaires and it's not to brag it's to say if an average George can do it you can too but here's what it takes so my goal was to cut through all of that and tell people the truth about the financial system designed to keep them broke so the truth about credit scores and credit cards and student loans and auto loans and mortgage traps and investing traps and marketing and consumerism so that they can break free from this matrix that they find themselves in and some for a lot of people become self-aware for the first time that they're even in this matrix that's like this is a simulation bro and I walk it very carefully because I know what I'm saying sounds insane to someone who's been in it their whole life like I was but to deprogram that to break free from that and achieve all of your financial goals and become the person you want to be and to give the way you want to give that's what the book's all about it's not really about the money we have to talk about money so we can stop talking about money

So I'm going to put in air quotes because I've actually been bullied in my previous life when I was a kid what John does is a defense mechanism that I see through instantly you see me as a threat my masculinity is a threat to your masculinity well you have a perfectly groomed beard and I just can't grow facial hair so instantly I'm into it I'm waiting for you to just come out with this you have biohacked your eyes I don't have those you have perfect vision I have blurry vision it's fine the truth is I think I'm your friend I'm your friend I think you're my friend we text each other outside of work you send me articles that you find interesting I pushed your Tesla down the highway when it ran out of battery that's a true friend that's what friends do so on the show we're not good at showing it truthfully I like it we're not good at showing each other affection live on air we're not good at showing each other affection live on air but they don't get to see us at the blink 182 show singing our hearts out rocking out together so I think that squelches it oh we're going to edit that part out we're not going to let this part go live hey Breaking Free From Broke George Campbell's new book thanks for writing this thanks for the support man you get mentioned at least three times and I apologize I do call you a mediocre guitar player in the book I think mediocre is but it's compared to Slash and I think you are very helpful and there's so much that aligns when it comes to what you're doing and what I'm doing in the money space we both want people to solve for freedom and I know this book is going to help you do that with finances so thanks for helping me spread the word you're awesome bro thanks for coming you're a great friend and I agree to disagree

I love the Book of Mormon, I think it's inspired and I think God can inspire men in lots of different areas, but this particular church just speaks to me and it is my home.

The power now is really good by Eckert's Holy. I don't agree with all his, you know, hokey stuff. But the power now is a great book.

every time I read Where the Red Fern Grows and then I weep for a week.

There was even a book, horrible book. It's called The Secret.

But Grit by Tammy Duckworth. For some reason or another has set me away from it. I think so. I don't think it's Tammy. Is it Tammy? I'm pretty sure. Okay, go ahead though. But that's a great book, yeah. It's a fantastic book. Just talking about how it's not always... I mean talent and smarts are one thing but how it's that whole idea of just Grit sticking with something and how that really changes how you learn things, how you stick with, how it changes your life, how people that are the best at what they do, how many hours they have to put in.

They may not be the one with the most natural talent or the most natural ability but the hours you put in changes everything. And how they deal with failure. Yes. And get back up and get back up. And use it as a learning process and the zone that they get in. And she talks about everything from athletes to musicians to business leaders. So it's not just art, artsy people. It's for anyone and it's really, really good. It's also for... I got a lot of that book for dads and moms and brothers like how to just do better at life and you gotta keep showing up and keep showing up.

Angela Duckworth. Angela Duckworth, that's what it was. Yeah, I didn't, yeah there you go. Tammy Angela.
