It was the day before the 1975 Mr. Olympia tournament.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was sitting down to have breakfast with fellow competitor Lou Ferrigno, and his parents.
The interaction was captured in the classic bodybuiling film "Pumping Iron".
During the meal, Arnold

I loved this fight.
Really shows the importance of wrestling/BJJ in fighting.
Striking is great and Rodtang is a master, but it’s only part of the puzzle.

There’s a lot to be said for getting off the grid once you obtain a certain level of wealth.

The series was tied at 2-2.

The real ones are the ones that have been through the struggle and come out the other side.
This game will absolutely take you to your lowest and push you more than you ever thought possible.
It’ll force you to really stare into your own soul to acknowledge who you really are.

The same way intelligent people struggle to make money - temperament.
Just because you’re intelligent does not mean you’ll automatically have a good temperament.
If you can combine the two, now that’s a lethal combo.

Warren Buffett once gave us a powerful insight into how he manages his time.
This has been dubbed his "5/25 Rule".
It's a simple 3 step process that anyone can use:
Step 1: Write down your top 25 goals.
Step 2: Highlight the 5 most important goals.

Delaying anger is one of the best skills we can learn to improve relationships.
We all face times when emotions run high.
But the ability to hold back immediate anger can lead to better outcomes.

It's easy to overlook small actions.
After all on their own they don't amount to much.
One workout won't change much.
One salad won't make you thin.
But when you add up these small steps, they can make a huge difference over time.

For most people, the fear of failure outweighs any potential gain. It’s a tough hurdle to cross. That’s why most people will never reach the heights they have the potential for.

Take from this what you will.
I have two friends who had really, really bad long covid symptoms and were out of work for over a year.
Both are now fine.
The cure: both got pregnant.
I shit you not, their symptoms disappeared overnight when they got pregnant.

Keep your goals to yourself.
When we tell someone about our goals, it gives us a feeling that we've already hit our goal.
We get a small, premature release in dopamine, the dopamine we're supposed to get after we reach our goal.
Once we've got our dopamine hit, it can be

Daily routines provide structure and focus to your life.
But life isn't a checklist.
It's ok to break your routine.
Don't become a prisoner to your daily routine.

Getting a dog is the best and easiest way to guarantee getting more steps in every day.
And if your dog is like mine, and goes into warp speed every time they see a cat, bird or squirrel, you’ll get a run in daily too.
