24hrs With The Happiest Billionaire, Jesse Itzler
FULL TRANSCRIPT
That is unfriaking
believable. That made me cry. This is
Jesse Hitler and he's got the craziest
resume you've ever seen. He sold a
private jet company to Warren Buffett.
He helped build Ziko Coconut Water and
he's the only guy who can say that 50
Cent was his intern. But I don't admire
Jesse just because he's rich
financially. I admire him because he
leads such a rich life. He runs these
crazy endurance races. He goes on
adventures with his friends. And I've
always wondered, how does one guy do so
much? As Jesse says, we don't lack time,
we lack a system. So that's why I'm here
at his house today to learn the [music]
exact system that he uses to plan his
year. All right, we're here to do a
annual planning session with the one and
only Jesse. They always tell you to
think like a billionaire. Well, I came
to a billionaire's house to see how he
thinks about planning his year.
>> There he is.
>> Welcome to the house, man. What's going
on, man?
>> Last year, you came on the podcast and
you were like, "Here's how you do it.
This is what you do." I was so inspired
and I left and I did 25% of the process.
So this year my forcing function was I'm
coming to his house. I'm going to do it
with him. [laughter] That's the because
you know I'm a procrastinator. Yeah.
>> So I was like oh I got the whole year to
plan this.
>> And then come the whole year I still
didn't do all of the steps. And so this
year I'm going into the year with more
momentum.
>> A year is a long time.
>> Yeah.
>> You're not going to sit down and be
like, "Oh, here's all 365 days and I'm
going to do it in two." It doesn't work
like that.
>> To figure out like what do you want to
put your energy into this year? And then
once you get that, but I'll give you the
whole thing. Anyway, welcome. You want a
quick tour?
[music]
>> These are organic avocados. Have you
ever seen what an avocado supposed to
look like?
>> You can bring that home with you.
[music]
>> Noideline. [singing]
Fresh kicks, new tricks. Write the
script. Don't miss. It's all in the mix.
New year.
I'm the architect of bliss. Every step,
every twist.
>> This is Taylor. This is Taylor.
>> Hello,
>> Courtney.
>> Courtney, what's in that smoothie?
>> Cocoa powder, a chocolate, uh, trivia,
protein powder, bananas, flax seed.
>> Courtney, how good is how good is this
avocado going to be when I try this
avocado? The real
>> blow your mind. [laughter]
Blow your mind.
>> So, this doesn't look like it's anything
special. We're big on family dinners.
So, like, you know, we have a ton of
family dinners, but every night that we
have a guest, all the kids at the table
have to ask the guest at least one
question. What's great about that is it
it it makes the kids inquisitive. It
teach them a little bit about public
speaking, right?
>> You know, and looking eye contact. We
coach them through a little bit of that
stuff in in today's world, you know,
where there's so much of this. getting
them to talk and communicate and um be
curious like where'd curiosity go,
right?
>> You know, like where's curios?
Seriously,
>> you know what my the the best thing my
parents did for me when I was a kid?
They didn't overched me.
>> They let me be bored. I used to go with
my mom to she was on the board of
education. She'd have threehour meetings
once a month and I would go there. She
would give me a box of crayons and paper
and I'd be so bored. But then I dream
about being on the Knicks. I dream about
being an astronaut. I think about like a
girl in the class or whatever and like
it just got my creative juices rolling
and it also taught me to be patient,
self soothe, you know, all the things
that have been stripped from kids. This
is a very meaningful
room for us.
>> We're about to walk on a sky bridge. I
don't know what to call this. This is
amazing.
>> Can I sponsor Can this be the My First
Million Sky Bridge? We get like a
sticker on the bottom.
>> Absolutely. Oh, I'm excited about this.
I I know you're anxious to get started.
I think before we start and do anything
like anything in life, we got to get
into the right mind state and we can't
like you don't want to come you just got
off a plane, you're tired. I think we
got to get you know and this goes for
anybody by the way. You want to like
plan or you want to have a meeting with
your significant other or partner even
by yourself like you got to get excited
about it and ready to do it and be in
the right mind. So what I love to do is
just take you through what I do in the
morning which is just quick little
workout. I do this quick little workout
maybe jump in the sauna but then we'll
come back here. You'll feel great.
>> Perfect. Let's do it. Good.
>> Yeah, let's do it.
>> I don't have a lot of time like you.
Like I used to say like, "Oh, I need an
hour to work out." I saw this thing on
Instagram that's like 12 uh 10 motions
that everybody should do and I put it on
my wall. It's like basically 10
exercises. By the way, I don't even know
if I'm doing all this [ __ ] right?
>> But I just I'm doing it and it feels
good and it takes me like 6 minutes and
I'm like every part of my body is
getting work.
>> Yeah. I call this a no excuse cuz if you
don't have 6 minutes, you don't have a
life.
>> The only thing is I got a bad foot.
Getting an X-ray. I think I broke my
foot. [laughter]
I'm not even kidding. Let's go to the
sun.
>> You good, Sean?
>> I'm good.
>> Oh, it's a good sign. See the smoke?
>> That means we're cooking up.
>> That means we're cooking up.
>> Yeah. Come on in.
>> So, you want to hear something crazy?
So, this is this is, you know, water,
but this is 50%
beer and 50% water and it creates
>> You get a buzz, too.
I'm a big believer in learning from the
masters, you know, like I had live with
me, master of mindset. I live with the
monks, [music] masters of spirituality.
I live with Wimhof, the master of coal,
the master of, you know, cold and
breath. [music]
And I went to Finland, the masters of
the sauna. I spent I did a tour of a
10-day tour of 30 [music] different
saunas. And one of the gals that was
leading one of the sessions suggested
that we use beer. So I was like, "All
right, the master said beer." We use
beer. [laughter]
>> That's why I'm here. The masters of
planning your year. No, planning your
year. That's why I wanted to come to
you. [music] So the reason I wanted to
come out here, cuz I don't travel much.
Um, I [music] got little kids at home. I
try not to travel. But the reason this
was like a no-brainer for me was
because, um, I wrote this blog post a
while back called, "Who is your Elon?"
So I live in San Francisco. And in San
Francisco, [music] Elon is like the kind
of north star everybody chases. do
something really big, really impactful,
really ambitious, really challenging.
