My mission is to help people live long healthy lives.
My favorite foods are steak and mangoes.
I love surfing and am quite horrible at it.…
Dear old people:

In my mid 20's to early 30's I dealt with a chronic low back pain.
I went to a Chiropractor & he told me I'd have live with the pain & get adjustments for the rest of my life.
I said fuck that, searched for a different solution & fixed my back.
Here's how I did it:
Eat donuts & pancakes and no one bats an eye.
Eat a mango and everyone starts crying about how much sugar they have.
I see a lot of fear mongering about fruit on the internet and I want to set the record straight.
When we eat foods that naturally contain sugar there are…
Stop eating 3 hours before bed.
Stop drinking liquids 2 hours before bed.
Stop looking at screens 1 hour before bed.
This is called the 321 method. Do this every night for better sleep.

When an athlete is told to run at 85% they run faster than if they're told to run at 100%.
It's called the 85% rule and here's why it works:
Carl Lewis was a 9 time Olympic gold medalist who was known as a master finisher but a slow starter.

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.
Sitting for long periods can lead to:
· Poor posture
· Obesity & weight gain

and more...

What you see is that a 70 year old may be able to retain the…
At age twenty I was a high school dropout who was fat, 15k in debt and headed nowhere.

In my mid 20's to early 30's I dealt with chronic low back pain.
I went to a Chiropractor & he told me I'd have to live with the pain & get adjustments for the rest of my life.
I said screw that, searched for a different solution & fixed my back.
Here's how I did it:
The best breakfast on the planet is steak and eggs.

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.
Cancelling people because of what they said years ago is dumb.
Standards & people change over time.
We don’t judge you based on who you were 10 years go. You should give others the same respect.
This 4 minute lower back drill will change your life.

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.
This is Richard Morgan.
He's a 93-year-old four time world rowing champion who has the fitness levels of a 40 year old.
Scientists studied him to find out his secrets to delaying the aging process.
Here's what they found:
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.

An 80 year old man who lifts is as strong as a 30 year old man who doesn't.
