And so I think what a lot of people need to do is figure out the games they need to play in the meantime.

And so experts at things don't really have more impulse control. I think it's a fallacy. They figure out more ways to win in the meantime.

So grateful and honored for you to join me today because we spent so much time together. So it's only right that we actually sit across from each other face to

face. Just for the audience sake, how have we spent time together, Danny?

Dude, so many podcasts, so many YouTube videos, like a disgusting amount. Like, I'm like, are you kidding?

Like, I've spent so much time with you because

you're such an incredible communicator because you are able to, to have 10 years of knowledge

I would love to start with a psychology assignment you had at 19 years old when you had to

pick someone who had a psychological disorder and tell the story of how they went down that path.

Will you tell that story, please? Yeah, sure. So I, like many young men, had lots of angst and felt like the world was not fair in that

I had not gotten what I quote deserved and that I thought that my parents could have done

a quote, better job of parenting me in general and I resented them for that.

And so I had an intro to psychology course and the assignment was, as you said, pick somebody who had any pathology that we had, you know, studied over the whole semester and then write the story from their perspective of how that pathology might have developed. Right.
