i'm officially quitting

hey everyone meet Kevin here well I

don't think any of us including myself

thought we would even make it this far

before this video was coming well the

time has come for this video after 64

meet Kevin reports in a row of waking up

before 3am

I have a flip-flop for you and it all

goes back to

when Lauren and I went to a Taylor Swift

concert on March 18th it was a very

important Taylor Swift concert for us it

was also very enjoyable we were well we

had the privilege of actually parking

next to Taylor Swift's jet one of the

two that she had there we're covering up

identifying information here uh here's

actually even a little clip of Max

walking underneath it we had to quickly

get him back you're not supposed to walk

into other people's planes but that was

pretty cool and it was really surreal

her entire uh tour is amazing her arrows

tour is awesome and we had some great

seats we even were seated in the row

that this viral security guard this

woman with blonde hair she ended up

dancing basically to the entire Taylor

Swift show and she made it on a ton of

viral tick tocks you actually see

Lauren's back in some of them I think

some of them you could see my back and

it's kind of interesting but the point

of saying it is it was kind of Epic it

was a really epic time but I actually

had to leave early because I had to get

to my meet Kevin report at 2 45 a.m so I

had to leave around 9ish walked back uh

got back maybe got about four and a half

hours of sleep and then back to meet

Kevin report uh and that's been

extremely difficult now fortunately

coffee has been amazing and I really

need a lot of coffee in my life because

I try to control my day to where I can

be really caffeinated in the morning

because that's what I'm generally doing

all my research that's when I'm doing my

earnings calls my fundamental analysis

uh the the Deep dive into the market

jpow whatever like all the Nuance that's

going on like I think the best analogy

to use is is really just kind of Matthew

McConaughey taking it away and

explaining how I feel to you [ __ ]

you're dealing with numbers all day long

decimal points high frequencies Bang

Bang

[ __ ] digits okay all very acidic

above the shoulders mustard [ __ ] all

right

yeah

um I just can't explain it like that so

anyway I really like that because it

kind of lets me regulate when I get to

be like super jazzed on coffee uh and

then in the afternoon I kind of schedule

my day around being with family where I

could be more chill and or be uh you

know with realtors for my real estate

startup big deadline coming up by the

way in four days for accredited

investors for that househack.com that's

it funding round is closing it'll be

absolutely gone kaput uh it's a

fantastic company but the funding will

be over uh subject obviously to the

potential of us doing the reggae but we

don't know if the SEC is going to give

us the green light in time we hope May

June for non-accredited but uh we don't

know SEC uh you know we have to go

through their process so we'll see but

anyway so coffee is fantastic love

coffee but there's a time when coffee

doesn't actually work uh and so I've

actually in the past uh stopped drinking

coffee just to test it and I always come

back to coffee because really lets me

regulate my schedule uh so huge love for

coffee but there's one thing that makes

coffee worthless it's alcohol

it's alcohol see alcohol makes coffee

absolutely worthless it makes it not

work for me it basically when you have

alcohol you become dysfunctional uh to

some extent depending on how much you

drink and it's kind of the opposite of

coffee see coffee is kind of neat

because it kind of like lets you play

makeup work for uh like oh no I didn't

get enough sleep let me have some coffee

and then it makes you functional again

alcohol makes you somewhat dysfunctional

while you have it and then it also makes

you dysfunctional in the future like the

next morning and so as of March 18th

I've quit alcohol

now I'll probably flip-flop on that

faster than a YouTuber making Finance

videos but at least it's a goal for now

especially hard alcohol for now it's

just a perfect way to rob my

productivity the next day and running

basically three different companies the

media business and actively managed ETF

and a real estate startup that I spent

all this money on a private jet for so I

could fly around and make sure that I

actually get where I need to go and I'm

paying for that jet not the real estate

startup I need to make sure that I'm

making the best use of my business and

if there's anything that I'm not at full

optimization on I gotta fix it now

there's some immediate benefits of this

I'm noticing it's easier for me to

exercise and run the next day maybe I

can actually go to the gym now it's

easier for me to get through the day on

slightly less sleep and I'm trying to

optimize other things in my life as well

for example I deleted Twitter and Tech

talk from my phone I found these were

really low output High Time commitments

so for example you could spend like an

hour and get like a two minute like oh

that was cool or like some kind of

insight right whereas I feel like when

you watch YouTube videos you could watch

a 10 minute video and hopefully at least

get like five minutes worth of insight

right so so it's like 50 of the time

it's like okay yeah this is useful

information whereas I feel like maybe uh

probably honestly less than five percent

of the time is useful information on I

hate to say it but Twitter Tick Tock

it's it's surface level right you get to

spend that time reading a good article

from Barons or the financial times and

usually get about 20 fold deeper then

you cannot Twitter or Tick Tock Twitter

maybe has an edge over over Tick Tock at

least they could give you some

inspiration but I just personally

noticed like after the algorithm feeds

me it's first 10 or 20 recommended

tweets the rest are like repetitive

memes

or I'm just not getting stuff done where

when I actually read research reports I

feel like my time is more equally

weighted similar to a YouTube video

where it's like okay at least 50 of my

time reading this gave me some form of

output right you can't expect a hundred

percent value for 100 of the time you

spend that's just never gonna happen but

I think the value is 10x on YouTube or

doing research or reading news articles

high quality stuff compared to short

form content and I kind of I call it the

ice cream right because cream ice cream

is made from the cream of milk that

separates the lower fat uh protein

content from the high fat delicious

stuff so I think basic social media is

kind of the fat and I I kind of am

associating alcohol to the lack of

productivity that I get watching short

form content or reading Twitter uh it's

sort of like after you've had alcohol

the only thing that you're kind of well

in the in the moment you just go to

sleep after your you know through the

face of alcohol but the next morning

like your brain power and processing

capabilities are I feel like so impaired

still that uh you just you just kind of

like you're just looking for the cream

but then you're not actually providing

as much value as you should to your

various different businesses and that I

don't feel like is what I owe to you now

some people are going to take this

information and go oh well you know you

you must have been addicted to alcohol

no that's actually not true in fact the

entire uh week to two weeks before the

Taylor Swift concert I had maybe three

glasses of wine and a mai tai over the

various different uh date nights or

whatever we went on I actually really

like to drink super casually like a

glass of wine with Lauren at night I'm

super moderated in that it's just fun

it's relaxing it's a great way to you

know get to sleep as long as you don't

drink like right before going to sleep

uh but I noticed the benefits of that uh

really didn't outweigh how quickly I got

sleepy even off one drink and the extra

calories just really aren't worth it now

am I going to refuse the occasional beer

in the future to you know when I'm

hanging out with family or you know

gonna go uh uh you know we're having a

Super Bowl party or whatever no probably

not but the the idea of all right let's

go all in we're at a concert four double

shots of tequila you know that was fun

when I was like

18 19 20 21 22 23 24 all the way up to

like well

probably last year so anyway going into

2023 I really set a goal for myself and

I wanted to evaluate was drinking

actually adding a positive value to my

life and I realize now with all of these

businesses that I have I've really

Consolidated what matters down to some

very Basics it's househack YouTube My

ETF and my family obviously YouTube

includes providing value to my course

members every day uh you know I do my

best

but what I noticed does not create a lot

of value in my life I hate to say it

because it used to be such a big part of

my life video games I haven't played any

video games this year alcohol just now

making it to the stage of cutting it

Twitter Tick Tock doesn't mean I won't

ever post there but you know I I just

don't want it on my phone I don't want

to scroll through it anyway it's just

it's it's not a good use of my time uh

and so these are these are some of the

big changes that I'm making now if I can

now convince myself to actually go to

the gym and work out rather than just

run every day well that'd be cool uh I

really like running running treadmills

uh uh you know big fan but uh I think I

actually need to go lift some weight

but hey I guess you can't be perfect so

I'll keep trying I'll um you know keep

doing my best and I'll share the

perspectives of the journey with you in
