A speaker (in a Capitalism.com YouTube video titled "Gary Vaynerchuk & Ryan Moran | The Fear Of Losing Everything", Aug 22, 2016) delivers an informal monologue about the fear of losing everything and how that fear motivates performance. The speaker admits they live to prove others wrong ('I told you so'), finds the prospect of losing everything energizing and romanticized, and frames risk and public failure as catalysts that would drive them to rebuild and perform at their best.

About 398 of them have a fear that it's all gonna go away one day. I think weirdly, all 400 of us do, right? Like, there's always some piece that. But again, I kind of told you what I thought about that. I don't know. I could say this. There might be one and a half other people that actually are like me, that actually think that's kind of romantically cool.
I'm being serious. Like, the single biggest thing I live for in my life is I told you so. It's actually quite sad and not noble. I live for sticking it to people. The thought of losing everything. And then everybody's like, see, he wasn't that great. Like, all the shit. It's like Ronda Rousey, right? Like, she lost. Now everyone's shitting on her. And I'm like, fuck, I wish I was her. Because right now I'd be like, motherfucking, I'm gonna fucking show everybody, right? And so, like. Like, nothing would drive me more and put me in the most ninja form of myself than to lose it all, live in a fucking studio, have, like, my family, be like, what the fuck? And then, like, literally, like, as like, the shitty fucking faucet with the fucking cockroach in the corner. I'd be like, cockroach, we're gonna fucking get it all back, motherfucker. Like, I just. I. And I don't. And I don't know. And I don't know if it's. Cause I secretly want a movie made about me. And that would add some drama to the fucking plot, you know? Like, I don't know what it is, but it's funny. I'm so cozy with Risk because the on paper, bad thing that happens on Risk is actually really intriguing to me.
