 Whatever that is, man. I even tell people, it's kind of, well, whatever. Take a walk, you can walk a dog, you can, if that's getting in an argument, you know, there's no rules. If that's going and sparring with somebody, if that is sitting and taking the best shit of your life every morning, then, I mean, I'm not always the most regular person, but I try. But yeah. What I wanna ask, then, is the end game a neurochemical response, like releasing endorphins? So, yeah, yeah, I don't speak in that language, but I'm not against that. So I don't speak in that language. The reason why is because I've done myself, so this is totally, totally from myself. I'm kind of like a fucked up person, man. If I do things which get into balance, you know, yet I'm still putting shit in my life, you know, whether that's behavioral or stuff in my body. Like I was just talking to Mary Lee at breakfast. Wow, that's the last, no, that isn't the last time I ate. We were talking about eating sugar. I cut sugar out of my diet, and I eat a little bit now, but when I cut it out, I realized how fucked up made me. So, sugar in my body right now, and that could even be like an narcotic or drug. But anyway, those things in my life, right, are gonna change how I feel. They're also the equivalent to bad behavior, which is up for you to determine. But if I get a great chemical balance of my life, which I've done through meditation, and start infecting it with a bunch of shit, it's not gonna mean anything, you know? So I need the first principle, if we were to talk about principles that link to fighting and seduction, is abstinence of bad behavior. And then the second one is surrender. You can surrender all you want, you can do good deeds all you want, you can be grateful all you want, but if you do not abstain from shit, which is fucking you up, it's pointless. And that's an ever going process. Remember, there's no real end, end goal in this. The end goal is death. As long as we're alive, we're always moving. What else we got? This is cool, I got a question about meditation. Normally it's like, okay, so how do I open with that, man? It's fucking cool, I dig it, man, I dig it. Quinn! What's up? So from everything you just said then, what happens when you left with things of temptation? Yeah, you can either, you have the choice. What is seduction, man? Seduction is a power, man. Seduction is the template for life. Or there's so many things, man. Seduction is this fucking awesome thing, but it's tempting. Do we misuse it? Man, I mean, there are plenty of times, I wanna sit here and say there's plenty of pussy that I could choose from, not the case. But there's plenty of times where I've had opportunities to have sex with people that I may not have wanted to. And I dove into temptation or whatever the fuck it is. And believe me, I believe if you wanna have sex, have sex, like totally do it. Just know that it's like this intense form of communication. But do it and realize if you like it and be wise enough to determine if it's an experience that you want, all right? The problem is, see, I'm not saying like, Steve would never tell, here I am talking to the third person, don't you love that? That's like the most unclassy bullshit way to say, God, I'm terrible, I hate myself. Now, but the thing is, is that I'm never gonna tell you not to take action. I always think people should take action. I think people should experience, man. I totally think they should. So when it comes to things that you want, go for them. But know that in the long run, analyze yourself afterwards. You know, perfect example for myself is a pickup artist in the seduction business, whatever you wanna call it. Get lays, get lays, brag about it to all my friends, I'm the shit, it's fucking awesome. Let me tell you, I did it. I bet you there's endorphins that make you do that. But the thing is, is I'm obsessing and thinking about this end result and not my purpose. And if you get into the whole sexual life thing, there's facade, identity, experience versus actions, purpose versus results. If I get obsessed with the results, it fucks me up. So you can experience whatever you want, dive into whatever temptation. Get a big sale, get a big sale, I'm awesome. No, it has nothing to do with it, man. It has nothing to do with it. Is it empowering my purpose? And when I can detach from that, then I can start making the decisions. For instance, let's say you, Quinn, I step on your toes because I'm tempted, you do something that is bad. You do something that I don't like, that I interpret as bad. And I do something fucked up, whether that's embarrass you, try and physically hurt you, insult you, do some passive aggressive thing like slash your tires. Red, red car. So, but do something like that. And all of a sudden, I'm in that moment, right? And I realize through other people talking to me or whatever, I realize it's wrong. I go, okay, it's wrong. If I get caught up in the guilt, the fucked upness, whatever, yeah, it's illegal. And I have to deal with the legal ramifications of that. I might not want to. But as a man as a human being, as I would say as a sexual being, I need to be able to make right on a personal level and a be social level and say, hey, look dude, what can I do to make that better? And then I can bring things back to balance, okay? So that's giving into temptation of anger or whatever, or frustration in doing something. There's no real like scale to weigh, yeah, the law has it, but in a personal level of my growth, which I'm in my body all the time, hopefully, unless I'm like Shirley McLean or something. But nobody got that. But anyway, the thing is, is like I have to be responsible for myself. Yeah, there might be a separate thing where everybody might shun me and become unpopular and yada yada, but that doesn't have to do with it. It has to do with how I deal with me. And again, this is actually interesting to quote a conversation I had with Ross Jeffries. He said, seduction is this intimate experience where everybody's naked and you're a naked man. And when you're a naked man, you don't know how to be a man, you're a naked boy, and you start acting like a boy because you don't know how to handle a naked woman. It was like, wow, fuck, God, brilliant. All right, I can listen to you now. Anyway, cool? Yeah, all right, this man, will I sip on some water? Thanks, Steve. Yes, sir. Great speech. It was meant to take notes, but I got to engage. Yeah. So that's my bad. Yeah. My questions in regard to how important has your diet been in expressing the best you, I guess? You know, it's weird because like, man, it's so black and white. Like, I'm so not a black and white person. And like, I'm always like, it can be brought into this theoretical, no, man, my diet, it was just like, cut out the flour and the sugar. And, okay, so I've been, 2009, they started talking about paleo stuff at this convention, and I've been pretty involved, right? And I knew, like, interacting with these guys and whatever, and I'm like, but fuck that, you know, I'm gonna win eating competitions, which is true, man. But it was a long time ago. I actually won an eating competition in Texas, in Waco, man, but this was like nine years ago. But I'm like, no, man, I'm gonna eat and da, da, da, da. And it changed everything, okay? So one of the biggest changes that I noticed, and again, it's so black and white. Actually, I'll tell you too, is the first one was when I cut that stuff out, and I remember it, man, I did an interview with Keith Norris, did a podcast with him, and I'm like, man, I got really sick, so I started juicing, and he's like, well, you know, juicing, you know, you can do it, but try cutting out the flour and sugar. And my diet was actually kind of tight, but every night I'd eat maybe a slice of pizza, and I was working out like a motherfucker, man, like biking 40 miles a day, and then doing two hours of jujitsu, and then like two hours of kickboxing and shit, and like, once or twice a week I would do that, but it was just like crazy, man, I was going through so many calories, so I'm like, but I crave these things. And anyway, I cut it out after that, and immediately, like, wait, I couldn't lose. So I mean, that active, right, that active, and weighed about 180 pounds. Funny story, when I got laid the most in pickup, I was very close to 200 pounds. So I was about 180 pounds. Maybe if I like starved myself, I'd be like 175 in the morning. As soon as I cut that out, it was just like within weeks, and everybody's different, and I don't want to say that this diet works for everybody, and I think that's kind of the anthem of what I hear from a lot of real paleo guys that I respect, is that do what works for you, and I don't follow an absolute paleo diet at this point. I do the Steve Mayeda diet, and you can all buy it for $19.95. But the thing is, is that I cut that out. First thing I noticed, I could sit and write and not have anxiety. Huge thing, it actually couldn't meditate for years, and all of a sudden, you know, can start to find some clarity. Unbelievable. So then, at the 21 convention in August, in Austin, I saw a couple things. So I got really healthy, man. Everything in my life changed, man. I had more energy, now I'm 35, so I would need more sleep, and I couldn't sustain energy for like 10 hours. Like I could when I was like 22 or something, and drink a whole bunch, fucking like eat, you know, candy, and fried chicken. But it was like, basically I just had more energy when I had it. Now, I heard a couple people speak, and I had high blood pressure all my life, like from the time I was a kid. I'm like, this hasn't changed. You know, I truly do not want to be on medication because it dulls my, like I don't care. For me personally, you know, this isn't sending a message not to take your medication, but I just felt that it had too much of a side effect, and I wanted options, and I wanted to try them. So Doug McGuff, and it was really cool. He talked to me, you know, at length. After giving a speech, or maybe before Dave Asprey, bulletproof executive told me a few things to try. And Doug actually emailed Exchange back and forth as I gave him the readings. Said, cut out the fruit, cut out like all sugar. I'm like, really? Okay, so I'll try it. The thing was I actually got really, I got down to 150, okay? So really small, and it was actually kind of cool. But I just couldn't sustain energy as much anymore, and you know, I don't want to say that I was doing it right or wrong, but I was like, all right, I can't take this anymore. And there were some changes, but the biggest change with the whole blood pressure thing was like rest, not working out so hard and sleep. And to be honest, like if I do one thing off, it will, like probably right now it's quite high just because I've had so much stress. But I ate a cupcake for my birthday. Dude, fucked me up, fucked me up. I ate a cupcake, man, which has a shit load of sugar. But because I'm not used to it, you realize like, oh, geez, okay, why am I thinking about this? Like I'm gonna cross the street. This is a true story, man. I was in Dallas, I eat this thing, and I'm like crossing the street, and I'm like, okay, I need to sit down. No, I can't sit down. Like, why am I crossing the street? Yeah, I'm just start running about all this anxiety. But the worst part is, is the next day, I'm just like depressed, and I'm like, man, why the fuck do I like dislike everything? What's going on? You know, like, why does this suck? Man, fuck these people. Who are these people? And fuck them. You know what, why am I doing this? Da-da-da, and it just starts accessing all this stuff. And it's good, actually, when you kick up emotions because it shows what you need to work on. But it took me a while to click. I'm like, man, I wonder if it had to do with that cupcake. So, of course, like an awesome person. I wait a week, cut all that shit out, eat another, well, don't eat a cupcake, eat like some sugar, and the same thing. So, those are two real, like, big signs to me that it changed a lot of, you know, my mental capabilities, again, a chemical thing. So, it's a big deal, you know, and how I think and how I feel. And like in my programs, like, to win those awards, which is like a free trip, it's not just like, the reason why the guy who got 18 lays in three months didn't win is because it's improved the most in your social and sexual life, your health, your mentality, and your personal goals. And whoever achieves the most in that, that's what we're going for. And again, mentality, it's like, I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but I need to see it in your posts and your interactions and all that sort of stuff. And actually, I don't even vote on it. It's my alumni votes on it. So, cool? Yeah. Cheese.
