Most people today are acting from insecurity.
Therefore take what you read, hear and see with a pinch of salt, especially online.
So many people give you advice, but you have to be careful, because it doesn't always come from a healthy place.
In fact, most times it comes from a place of insecurity.
This is especially true for all those trying to pose on social media that their life is great and they're happy, when in reality they're suffering from a lack of self-esteem, and have other issues.
But by seeing this snapshot, those watching then begin to have low self-esteem and insecurity issues by comparing themselves to that which they see.
It becomes a vicious cycle.
I also had a lot of insecurities when I left my career as a lawyer; my way of dealing with it was to trash the legal industry and the 9-5 job.
You see the same thing happening with the "college is a scam" entre-bro-neurs.
They're insecure about not having a degree more than they are about believing it's a scam.
You therefore have to protect yourself from the conditioning of this degenerate society, because self-esteem issues and insecurities have become a contagious pandemic.
Do you have insecurities, or any stories about other people you know to be insecure?

Would you buy a digital shoe for $30,000?
In this episode I talk a little bit about NFTs, blockchain, cryptos and the metaverse.
Speaking of the metaverse gives us a chance to think about the nature of reality.
They really going big to get people to flex in the metaverse.
The NFT flex is like the rolex-flex.
People scoffing at this not being real comes down to philosophy.
How real is a Rolex?
- You can wear it
- You can touch it
- You can show off your status
Cool, but what happens to it when you die?
It stays in this simulation called earth, whereas your soul takes on its true form and experiences a different reality.
When in the metaverse, with an NFT:
- You can wear it
- You can touch it
- You can show off your status
Cool, but what happens to it when you die (or switch off)?
It stays in the simulation called metaverse, whereas you continue on with your true form and experience a different reality.
How many people truly care about the reality that is the afterlife?!
That’s how many people will care about the reality outside the metaverse.
I don’t like it. I don’t agree with it.
I do, however, accept that this is the future we’re heading in.
One thing I appreciate about the metaverse though, is it really makes you question the nature of reality.
Imagine the tech is pristine and complete.
Children grow up in the metaverse.
In time, everyone in existence grows up in the metaverse.
They know of no other reality until they reach adulthood.
They’ve never experienced anything outside the metaverse.
Then they meet a crazy conspiracy theorist who starts telling them this isn’t real, it’s an illusion, it’s a simulation, there’s another world out there being hidden from you…
…how do you think those people will react?!
Mocking? Derision? Laughter? Anger?
How do you react now if someone tells you you’re being manipulated to believe in an illusory reality that’s keeping you enslaved and subservient without you realising?!
How do you react when someone tells you to not care so much about the glitz and the glamour of this world because it’s a fleeting illusion, and focus your energy on trying to make it in the afterlife instead?!
What are your opinions about the metaverse and NFTs?

Why I quit being a lawyer to become a YouTuber.
Today I talk about lifestyle, balance and work.
I start off talking about the reasons why I got into law in the first place, and why I became a lawyer.
It was the conditioning of society in that you had to go to university, get a degree and become a professional.
I did that, but I hated it for the most part.
The alternative, which is the new programming of this society, is to start your own business and become an entrepreneur.
So that's what I did. I tried so MANY different business models.
Once again I found I didn't like this, because now I was working more hours than before.
So I made a switch after realising the above two models, which are marketed as two different paths, actually have the same foundation; they have the same God:
- Materialism
- Wealth
- Status
So I made a switch.
Before it was career first, and then doing the things I actually wanted to do. But I couldn't do the latter.
Then it was business first and then doing the things I wanted to do. Once again I couldn't do the latter.
Now it's doing the things I want to do first, i.e. lifestyle first, and then adding an income generating activity to maintain that lifestyle.
YouTube is the best format for that.
The above is explained more in the podcast.
Please listen, and let me know if any of this resonated with you.

5 reasons to start a podcast.
This is the audio taken from the video I posted on my YouTube channel.
Many people wonder, should I start a podcast?
They'll then do a deep-dive on all the ways to record and make one.
Whilst others wonder whether it's too late, or just aren't quite sure what the point is.
So, here are some tips for starting a podcast.
First and foremost, you absolutely need to know WHY you want one.
I therefore list out 5 such reasons as to why you should start one, even today.
These are the reasons I started one and continue to do so now.
1. Personal Development: Creating a podcast is fantastic for building confidence, self-esteem and communication. I've mentioned it before, it was by far one of the greatest things I did to conquer shyness, self-esteem and social anxiety issues.
2. It's Exciting: You always learn something new. Some interviews with guests just leave you fired up, and the opportunity to learn and develop is enormous.
3. Building An Audience & Influence: Lots of people listen to podcasts and they're growing. It's one of the best ways to build the know-like-trust factor.
4. Establish Relationships & Opportunities. My second podcast was with David Wolff, who now is my business partner. Having guests is one of the best ways to establish relationships, which will subsequently open up opportunities that weren't there before.
5. Income Generating Asset: A podcast gives you leverage, and opens up several ways for you to generate an income. We're living in a time where we have an unsafe job-market. Businesses are also looking sketchy. A podcast is a great way to protect against uncertainty.
The podcast discusses the above in more detail.
Please let me know what you think.
Are you considering starting a podcast?
What questions do you have about the process?

Using myths and legends as metaphors for personal development.
The minotaur philosophy explained in episode 23 of the Minotaur's Maze podcast.
One of the best ways to use myths and legends is as metaphors to level up your own life.
Theseus & The Minotaur is one of the greatest myths for this purpose, because there are so many analogies that can be drawn upon.
It's the reason why I chose the Minotaur philosophy as my brand.
What is the Minotaur Philosophy?
Well, it’s based on the Greek Myth Theseus and the Minotaur.
The Minotaur was a half-man half-bull beast located in the middle of a complex labyrinth.
7 boys & 7 girls were given up as sacrifice to the Minotaur every so often.
One day Theseus, the son of a King, decided enough was enough and that he would kill the Minotaur.
Before entering the labyrinth he was given a sword & piece of string to find his way out by Princess Ariadne.
Theseus went inside the maze, confronted and fought with the Minotaur until he killed it.
He followed the string out and set off home victorious.
Before he left however, his father the King told him to change the colour of the sail - if it was black it meant Theseus was dead, if it was white it meant Theseus was alive.
In his triumph, Theseus forgot to change the sail.
His father thought he was dead, so he killed himself too.
So how can you use that story to improve your life?
Well, because each element is an allegory:
Minotaur – Your anxieties, fears, obstacles and challenges
Theseus – You / The potential hero within you
Maze/Labyrinth – The complexity of your mind and your life
Ariadne – The people who will help you
Sacrificial Boys & Girls – The cause/mission you want to tackle (or what you become if you continue to run and hide from your fears)
Sword & String – The skills & strategy you will use to better yourself
Theseus’ Father – Your responsibilities before, during & after victory – and the people telling you to hold back
The story is pretty much a metaphor for your life, mindset and the path you take (or don't take).
The podcast takes a look at each of the elements in more detail.
Please share your thoughts and whether you use any myths and legends to improve your self and your life.
