 Trying to make money while staying healthy. This is like the quandary of the entrepreneur's life, right? You know, I think everybody's hopefully smart enough to realize health is the ultimate wealth if I told you I'll exchange You become a billionaire, but you're bedridden for the rest of your life like basically nobody I don't know. There's a few people I love money enough that they might take that but You'd have to be kind of insane because money Only Has utility to the extent it's usable like money is scarce in-demand resources So at the end of the day money is always an exchange unit, right? The most rare and scarce thing on earth would be time and energy. These are the irretrievable items of life so there's this old saying that Entrepreneurs spend They're 20s 30s and 40s trying to gain wealth and then they use their wealth in their 50s 60s and 70s trying to regain their youth so there's kind of a There's a vicious feedback or negative feedback loop in the sense that Why do something to gain something and then you have to use something to gain what you lost? I see entrepreneur advice like on tick-tock and stuff saying off your inner 20s. Just sit there and grind and make money That's pretty look you got to follow what I call biological imperative so no matter the greatest Plans of mice and men go awry as the famous book says so humans have their own time frame that they just come up with in Their neocortex. They're supposedly logical from part of the brain and they say well you know 20s is the time to sacrifice and Not do all these things because you gain money and you gain some kind of competitive advantage. Well This is kind of weak logic think about it this way In your 20s, what's the only thing you can do? that's time sensitive and Encapsulated let's say in 20 to 30. Well, that's when you're for a man. You're gonna have max testosterone Pretty much 16 to 30 So you should capture Things that are irretrievable in that time frame So if you're watching this in your entrepreneur and you're trying to figure out business wise what to do You know, how much exercise how much gym how much obsession should you have with things that are non career or financial or? asset net worth building You should say to yourself. Well, why take my 20s? Sacrifice and then when I'm 50 and I have all the money. I'll wish I had the potential To stack on muscle like I did in my 20s and 30s. No It's like economics the principle of competitive advantage competitive advantage says you should do the things and That's more in a trade environment between countries. Let's say, you know if Mexico can grow oranges and Michigan can grow apples But theoretically Mexico could grow apples, but it'd be hard and Michigan could grow oranges, but it would be expensive Then instead of them trying to do what they can't easily do Mexico should grow oranges Michigan should grow apples and they should exchange them. That's like the base principle of You know competitive advantage in modern macroeconomics. Well when it comes to What you should do in your 20s financially Career-wise entrepreneur-wise in your 20s should do only things you can do in your 20s So I would it'd be better if I could you know have a time machine be 15 years old again 15 to 30 is a time when you can achieve maximum strength I think it was Socrates or Aristotle said, you know, it's a tragedy for a man to not realize how strong he could have been At some point in his life. It's like 15 to 30 make a little bit less money and Compete in a powerlifting competition or a bodybuilding competition Like that's your one window in life. And yes, you can stack on muscle. I mean somewhat all the way up till you die it gets But it's that principle of competitive advantage Just like Mexico theoretically can grow apples and Michigan can grow can grow oranges in a hoop house You know with continual heat and with massive energy expenditure. Well, yeah, you could stack on muscle at 70 but it's It's not that feasible So my answer to this question is Respect the biological imperative. What could you only do in 15 to 30 from 15 to 30 do that a lot? What can you do later in life? You can make money later in life now? I'm not saying don't interpret this like you shouldn't try to make any money Like that's not what I'm saying you know, but Which brings me to a different point, you know, by the way, this is welcome to my Friday episode my podcast slash vlog Four pillars of good life Monday. I talk about health Tuesday. I talk about Well Wednesday I talk about love social stuff dating Thursday talk about happiness then back Friday today Talking on health tomorrow Saturday back to wealth investing building businesses, but today's subject, you know, what is the ultimate hack? For health my answer is it's really age-dependent the ratio of money-making activity to Physical health focus now. Obviously you should be focused at every moment of your life on health But I'm talking about a strong emphasis on one or the other now the question then becomes when do you focus all your time on making money? well, you know Like I said to me Life is ratios So it's all the ratio of the four pillars health, wealth, love, happiness So it's not so matter when it's not so much Do you ever not focus on health or not focus on wealth or not focus on love and social life or not focus on happiness? It's the ratios change over time, right? So when you're I think when I was five years old six years old I tried to make a lemonade stand sell cherry tomatoes, you know My first little business idea, but the school system didn't support that so there should be a wealth and business aspect Ratio even for six and seven year olds should start learning about money, right and then But that ratio should be smaller Or that ratio should be tighter It should be much less on pillar number two wealth when you're six years old it should be on health Social and happiness more so so maybe it's you know 5% of your day, but the problem now is people think too binary like Should I be doing this and not this well, it's not like that stop thinking in this binary concept You know it start thinking life as shades of gray You know, that's that's like the the biggest thing that I see especially in the United States With politics and everything's binary. It's like should you do this should you have high taxes? Or should you have you know low-tech said you have how should health care be? It's not binary how things should be So I don't think there should ever be a time where you're neglecting one of the four pillars of the good life After say age six or seven all the way till you die, but certainly I think career should be a ramp up and the beauty is now the younger you start It has it doesn't have to be so drastic So if you start a business at 13 and you stick with it You're not going to have to have so many hours devoted to that at age 30 and 40 so you can keep the ratios even And I figured an ideal life If you're awake, let's say 16 hours a day roughly you should spend four hours on health Okay, that doesn't mean in the gym four hours, but I'm including eating meals slowly Walking gym four hours where you're focused on physical health Four hours a day on work not the four-hour work week four hour a day, and I think that you know You can accomplish a lot in four hours Carnegie was almost as wealth wealthiest Rockefeller He said he'd only work two three hours a day, and he made 400 billion in today's dollars So if you start and build the foundation, right? You know you may not become the wealthiest person But four hours a day for an entrepreneur on a slow ramp up to building a business and a brand is possible They spend four hours a day social love With family with friends dating or if you're with the partner, you know spouse whatever kids And then four hours a day on happiness, which is all that like esoteric things Which can be like if you like music you're playing a musical instrument brings you happiness If you like nature, you know if you like painting if you're an inventor if you're a writer So I think that's the dream ratio of life now as I said if you're in your 15 to 30 You probably you can ramp up The physical side and ramp down some of the other stuff, you know, but 15 to 30 should be doing a lot of social Pillar two and three should be great. Sorry pillar one and three should be the highest age 15 for let's say 30. I'm just picking somewhat arbitrary Times but you know 15 to 30 What are you doing? so You're spending Disproportioned amount of time in the gym like that's when you my dad was a pro bodybuilder you work out twice a day You really want to stack our muscle be in shape or you can play sports in the morning for three hours and then hit the gym for two three hours or combination therein, you know Not necessarily saying six hours is the number. I'm just kind of exaggerating to make a point And you should spend a hell of a lot of time, you know, the ultimate physical purpose of life if you talk to an evolutionary scientist like dr. Bus is mating so you should be Finding who you're gonna mate with have kids You know forget marriage for a second. I'm not saying you should have kids outside of marriage or not I'm saying the context the true context of romance as As a biological function has more to do having children than it has to do with quote-unquote Romeo and Juliet love like The brain Activates the mating by making us feel love But the intrinsic purse purpose of those that hormonal flush that you feel in your brain is to have kids So like age 15 to 30 You know, you should be thinking about How do I find the kind of person I want? Where should I live? That's a huge thing. Where should you live in this world? Like people forget like you pick the right place You should be living in the right place and that has a huge effect on your social life So you can be moving living different places in the world and then career-wise on the wealth side You should be testing a lot of stuff between age 15 and 30 spend six months You know three to six months trying ten different careers Between 15 and 30 and then hunker down, you know my mentor out nation used to say hey, Ty look in your 20s You wonder what you should do In your 30s, you start doing it in your 40s It starts to become profitable in your 50s You build true wealth and in your 60s You become a mentor to those at the beginning of the cycle now You may or may not agree with his exact timeframe, but there's a certain logic Maybe it doesn't take ten years, but that is the logic a natural progression would be a Spend a wonder what you should do so you don't have such strong beliefs like Nietzsche said enemy of the truth Convictions are greater enemies of the truth than lies So don't have such a strong conviction when you start maybe you're starting at 13 or whatever 23 But there's a stage of exploration where you don't have strong convictions about your career You know and in the 30s and then the next stage is when you really pick something hunker down on it And then takes 10 to 20 years to really become valuable Some people they can do it in 20 months some people takes 50 years, but on an average mean It's 10 to 20 years the average person takes who creates real wealth You know so look at the people on the forklift most of them. It was 20 solid years before they got to the pinnacle so When it comes to health, you know, you're doing your health in parallel Because the whole my whole four pillar system you should go to tileopis.com slash four pillars podcast The number four pillars Podcast it'll take you right to my four pillar pillar system where I share like this is kind of my unique I don't know if it's unique, but this is what I've been trying to share with the world for many years is like you need this Four pillar approach, and I've never seen I wish I would have been taught to me You know it's kind of going back to Plato Socrates Aristotle, you know the arithmetic mean is the best That was kind of the Aristotelian mean this concept of life is not a thing It's a balancing of things. You are perfect. It's like you're juggling, right? It's not just one ball making money or your health or your love life or happiness it's all for and Know and those need to be juggled in the correct ratio because if you throw one up too high or too low Over emphasize one it throws the whole four off. So health is a age-based biological imperative biologically slash imperatively Kind of commanded Life cycle You should if you're watching this in your 15 to 30 you should be Doing things you'll only be able to do hormonally easily from 15 to 30 and When you're and then your wealth you go well, what time can I make money? Well, you can make my 15 to 30 But you can but you can also make money 45 to 60 or 30 to 45 or whatever so You go well, but I can only get health now So and you you you don't want to find a mate at 75 years old if you want to have children again the purpose of I don't use the world romance or dating or love or whatever. I mean you can use that too, but I like mating mating me by the way, I'm walking my 10-15,000 steps Some people think that's the number some people say no You know I interviewed Dave Asprey from bulletproof Yesterday he he doesn't he thinks the 10,000 steps is bullshit I was talking with a guy I've learned a lot from Grego Gallagher Kino body He's a big fan of 10,000 steps if you study 100 gathers. They were walking About 15,000 the men the women had bit less than the men the Amish I lived with the Amish, you know the Amish They find now walk What was their number? I Think it was 18,000 a day on a farm. But anyway, I like to walk even who knows what the exact number is but Knock out these podcasts daily. So make sure by the way subscribe to my YouTube channel or whatever you're watching my my iTunes my Spotify Facebook Insta I'm gonna be putting out things like this. I think I Know it would have added value when I was You know before I knew these I wish somebody had told me some of the things that I Learn now. I'm like, man How come this isn't just like standard operating procedure? What what is school for? What is childhood and parents for they're really for this stuff? But you know, maybe you're like me grew up with a single mom for the start of my life, you know my dad was in prison so There's extenuating circumstances and I had to go learn it from surrogate Parents or surrogate father mentors, you know So this is these episodes are the kind of amalgamation of what I've learned and you know, some people don't like my style I'm a more of a meandering wandering Eclectic kind of person. So if you want a straight line, here's the three steps to getting your health I've got videos like that. But these kind of daily vlogs are just more like my meandering thoughts And if they add some value great, if not There's a trillion influencers nowadays nowadays It's getting to a point when it's like what will the ratio to influencers to listeners be we one-to-one There'll be four billion Influencers in the world and four billion listeners. Everybody gets one follower listening to them. Anyway, so Yeah, I know I didn't totally answer what the best Workout is and diet So maybe I'll answer that now so for me What I think as an entrepreneur and let's just forget the age-based thing I think the first two hours of the day and about five hours if you after you wake up are the most important So the first two hours You wake up. I'm trying to get a lot of water in I think it's important not to drink too much water After about six hours before you go to bed because then you wake up, you know And you're messing up your deep sleep your REM and all that your restfulness Ratios are getting out of whack. So for me key is first two hours I do things in 18 minute sprints. If you go to tidalopis.com slash Million dollar million body podcast. It'll redirect you to my whole system tidalopis.com Slash million body podcast But you know, I've got a routine every 18 minutes things I'm doing hot getting a hot cold shower Even skin care is important. I think hair care coconut oil is getting windy Getting out doing cardio. I've got a cycle based on the time of the year Like if it's spring spring fall Summer winter I do different things. I think you should change your body type In the sense that you should be bulkier sometimes of the year then cut back And be super lean sometimes a year maintenance some of the year So doing some intermittent fasting heavier during the cutting season Bulking season. I'm massively reducing cardio hitting the gym a lot eating more often You know, if you based on hunter-gatherers if you're looking at the winter cycles You're sleeping You know Later in the summer because it's light for longer. So you're sleeping later into the day But winter time you're getting more hours to sleep I think you should vary up your diet cyclically Hunter-gatherers are eating 43 percent meat 57 percent Things that they gathered so that'd be berries Various plants nuts and so on tubers So I guess what I'm saying is like these first two hours I like when I wake up wake up ideally one to four hours after One hour before sunset to four hours after when they've done studies on the hodzas You know the the ashay tribes in brazil these primitive I hate to use or primitive. Let's just call it non-industrial hunter-gatherers And so these first two hours is like you got to hit it hard as an entrepreneur then you got You know three hours to do work and then I hit the gym And or sports depending on the cycle If i'm trying to get super lean i'm doing four days Uh a week of sports and cardio two days a week of the gym if i'm trying to balk i'm doing You know five days of weights And uh or four days of weight sorry and two days of cardio So there's kind of I like that bi Bimodal Workout routine when you're an entrepreneur Hit do some stuff in the first two hours and then do stuff about five hours five hours after you wake up You're at your peak strength. So if you're doing weights or 10 stuff and of course this varies there's there's chronotypes varying for people who are through a night owl and they call them larks or owls and all this Some interesting studies on why humans are bimodal In terms of night owls versus not night owls. There's variants in the population. So you should know yourself But I like two different workout times a day. It keeps you active. I like to treadmill desk You know, I don't like to sit. I think if you're going to read lay down on the couch or in bed Sitting is a pretty weird position for humans For men it messes up your prostate messes up low back. It's not really a natural state you know Squatting that's what you see a lot in southeast asia Um or laying down you see a lot like the hunter gatherers like the hadsas Or the hunsas in india things like that. So Anyway, there's so much to talk about I think the most important part of this today's episode Was more about understanding the biological imperative. There are times When your ratio should be your life should be really about physical health Over wealth and then there's times Where you still of course focus on staying healthy, but you push up the amount of wealth Focus that you're on, you know, so I don't think it's a binary straight line answer if that makes sense Anyway, leave a comment Give me something controversial. What did you hate that I said leave a comment below What'd you hate about this and what do you totally agree? Give me a Good cop bad cop. What's your good cop reply to this and bad cop?
