In this episode of the HP Family podcast, the hosts open with a request for reviews and shares, then dive into four concise "one‑liners" that form the core of the show’s coaching message. The first insight reframes happiness as a habit rather than a goal, emphasizing daily practice. The second distinguishes joy (an experience) from happiness (an expression), arguing that true fulfillment comes from seeking challenging experiences that generate joy. The third, drawn from a conversation with an 80‑year‑old gym‑goer, stresses that a man must have a vision that is paired with great challenge; without hardship the vision lacks worth. The fourth insight acknowledges that past painful memories cannot be erased, but they can be overwritten by creating new, meaningful moments for family and loved ones. The hosts then expand these ideas into a "thousand‑day" mindset, urging listeners to replace vague actions with concrete commitments, to hold themselves accountable, and to view life as a series of mountains to climb. They weave personal anecdotes about family dynamics, gender differences in accountability, and the importance of modeling leadership for children. The episode concludes with a series of reflective questions prompting listeners to envision their 2026 self, assess the truth of their current commitments, and decide what concrete steps will make life easier next year. Throughout, the tone is candid, direct, and motivational, with repeated calls to action for personal responsibility, community engagement, and continual self‑improvement.
Chapters
If this is something that you're really starting to resonate with and you've racked up five, 10, 15, maybe 20 podcasts by now, I just want to ask
a small favor of you. The greatest way that we create the
greatest impact inside of this world is
by reaching more people and more people
really tying into the value they can offer themselves at a fundamental level. HPF stands for fathers really valuing and believing in themselves and investing in themselves so that they and their family wins. A couple of quick things. I hope you enjoy the episode ahead. It's a phenomenal one that we've just recorded for you, but essentially I'd love
for you to give us a review.
Obviously, a five star review would be amazing, but whether it's itunes, Spotify, Amazon, it could be on Facebook, a Facebook review anywhere, Google, anywhere where you see this value in you, giving us the approval and recognition that will spread this message.
Much respect.
Really appreciate you for doing that and also sharing this with someone who you know would get huge benefits out of listening to this as well. So enjoy the episode ahead. But if there's just one thing I could ask for 10 to 30 seconds of your life to give back. I love doing these episodes. I do these for you, member or
not, and for the wider community.
I'd love it if you could just give a little bit back and really promote that you support this and this is something that you would love to share with others who you know would get value out of this as well.
Another one of Al's insights. I have some absolute bangers for you today. Four onliners that we'll be ripping into, which will hopefully help you open up your perspectives, drive your focus and direct your actions, which I really like the word commitment instead of actions. What are the actions you will do instead of, hey, what are the commitments you have this week, this month, this year, moving forward? Really powerful. Just side note, that's a really powerful adjustment there because the commitments to commit to something is to follow through with action on what your word intended. That's powerful. That's really powerful. So food for thought. Future time, not what are your actions that you can do, what are your commitments? What have you committed to on that as well? One that I love.
So here we go.
Six mini ones.
So there was your first one, second one.
Just a simple philosophy on life where you focus life will unfold. It's so fucking true, man. I cannot stress that enough. Like, and maybe at times I have been delusional, but this quote unquote, delusional optimism for Life has certainly served me well and I've never taken a backward step and I never will. It's such a beautiful thing, man, the power of focus. But it can be very dangerous when wielded in the wrong direction or someone doesn't have your best interest at heart. Shaping that and turning your head and telling you where your eyes should look. Be very careful of that in life in general. So on that note, really, really humbled and privileged to be able to, as always, it's a very honorable thing that I love doing here and sharing and serving you all. But that is so true, man. Like commitments instead of actions. And where you focus, your life will unfold. It's so true. What can you focus on that will drive you? What are the reasons you have to lift you up instead of your reasons you have that pull you back? Um, really powerful thing, the power of focus. Let's. The golden nuggets are always in the simple things, aren't they? Let's dive into these four one liners. Four one liners. First one. Funnily enough, I don't know how or where I saw it, it was actually from. And I don't follow him, although he's been very successful. Richard Branson. I just saw this random letter to a stranger. I don't know who, I don't know. I can't remember who posted it, but I remember seeing that letter. I was like, oh, that's cool. I'll copy and paste that in my notes and have a read of it sometime. And a few weeks later, here I am reading. It might have been when I was on the plane, I don't know. But I read it and it was okay. Just typical stuff on appreciation for life and knowing the struggles that we all go through. But at the end it said, happiness is not a goal, it's a habit. And I love that. I just want to start with that, with all of you. Like, being happy. Like, you don't do happy, you be happy. Being happy, feeling happy, you know, like embodying a state of happiness, it really is a state, it's a habit. And a state is something you can enter or exit out of. So I guess the term happiness or, you know, wanting to be happy more often than not, it really is a habit. How often can I execute on that? State of being consistently happy is not a goal, it's a habit. Happiness is not a goal, it's a habit. I really, really love that. So it had me thinking about the HPF tenants, which I'll roll out to you guys. One Day soon. But one of those, the top five, the North Star is seek growth, love and joy. So it actually had me going, okay, well, what's the difference between joy and happy? You know, like, we're big on that, right? Like, we're big on lots of things in taking ownership, being a man of your word, the responsibilities that we have as men, performing with a certain level of excellence, that's a standard. Going all in, staying all in. Yeah, that' commitment 101 to the core. So I'm going through my own mind going, what's the difference? And then it just hit me. I was like, hang on a minute. Like you're seeking joy. Happiness is an expression. Joy is an experience. And I love that, man. Like, you need both. Like, guys, you cannot just have head down, bum up. And it doesn't mean you need to become Pinocchio island and, and you know, be foolish in your ways. But it really is important. Like we are seeking growth. Growth off the back of growth. Me, man, I gotta tell you, like through every single hardship is a massive breakthrough, always, always exponential growth. Which is a really important one line I have for you, you know, which is the second one, but with this one, yeah. Happy is not a goal, it's a habit. But also, let's expand on this. Like, happiness is an expression. Joy is an experience. So what you are carving out in your path, it's not even the destination or the final objective you've overachieved or the outcome that gained or experiencing that one minute. It's actually the journey. And through the journey itself, you're looking to experience joy. And not always, although, I mean, I find, you know, maybe I'm a bit twisted, I don't know. But I find joy in the hard work because I know what's on the other side of that. So it is an interesting thing. It's. Of course, it could be a, A state that adjusts your focus on what you pursue, which would equal joy. It's not just riding on a jet Ski. Cool, that's fun. It's joyful. But it really is seeking those experiences, but doing it in a state of hard. Hard to have joy and sorrow at the same time. Hard to have joy and anger at the same time. So it's a really interesting thing where I really find, when I reflect over my life and even currently today, like happiness and joy go hand in hand. You know, it's like a turtle with a shell on its back. And you know, like, people can take pleasure for sure in being angry and control and Power. And it's quite a. You know, it can be powerful, but be careful. It's quite a dark energy. I've got to say that too. Like, with respect to the book Relentless, I see a lot of people promoting that. Or high flies in the world. That's a very dark book by Tim. I think Tim Grover, it was Michael Jordan's trainer. Very, very dark book. I just didn't align. I couldn't align with it, man. It was a very dark energy. Energy's energy. But. Yeah, but where's it coming from? It was very, very dark for me. I actually didn't like that book. Not a fan of it. Now do we have a fear of failure? Do I have a chip on the shoulder from being that little fat. Of course we have fuel that we can use. But like, it's. It's. Maybe it's a couple of those. What do they call them? Those, those. The ones that, like the bursts, the bursters, the little burst that you have before it just falls off, you know, that little bit of propulsion. But it's not part of the rocket. It's not part of your journey. It might give you a couple little lifts, but you can't have that as a driving source. Certainly can't be happy and harnessing dark energy at the same time. Happiness and joy. Happy is not a goal, it's a habit. Which then leads to the question, because these statements should always come with questions. What would need to be true for me to be in a better state of happiness? What could I focus on? What are the environments? What are the people, places and things? Because remember, where focus goes, energy flows. I love that it's saying from Tony Robbins way back in the day, but. But yeah, where you focus, that is where your life will unfold. So I don't know how. It's been so fucking hard, man. I'm trying to balance my life, family, self and service, struggle. I'm not getting the appreciation I want. I push hard and I try and I go through the marriage playbook or I apply these things and I get some. But it's so hit and miss and. Yeah, well, your wife has work too, right? Hard to tell, though. Hey, you need a coach. Do some fucking work on yourself. So it's a delicate thing, man. It's hard. Women don't enjoy the facts as much as men do. Because with the facts and owning them comes a possibility you could be wrong. Us as men, we can take value in being wrong because there's always a lesson to be learned and it can harness and make us better. With women, not so much so because they live in an emotional state. So they don't have the forecast and vision to see the value in being wrong. Which means they don't really like accountability. But then again, a lot of men know they fucking need it, but don't seem to like accountability either. But it is quite an interesting journey that we face. So what would need to be true if you're a bit. Waters are muddied, bit murky, not quite sure, not quite clear. We'll just think about it. What would be true for you too? And when you were most happy? When you. When you had the most happiness in your life, when you were most happy, what was happening? Where were you? What were you doing? You know, like a fishing trip with the boys? Is that what gives you happiness? Money? Is that what gives you happiness? Like, people say money doesn't make you happy, but I tell you what, if I had a billion dollars and I saw that feed, you know, millions of starving people, I'd feel pretty fucking happy. But it's not the money, it's not the fishing with the boys. It's the state of being. So then we need to look and go. Well, it's my perspective on things. I'm happy going out on a trip fishing with the boys because I have some sense of control. I have the opportunity to experience joy, to have joy in my life through an experience with the guys. I have energy and a certain frequency around me of these guys, whether you're, you know, laughing, shit talking, deep dives, stillness, nothingness, I'm present. If happiness is an expression and it's a habit, it comes down to your presence and you really being. Being in the moment. It's really important. Second one, this is a dude, like in his 80s. His name's Balbir, Indian fellow. And just. It's awesome. He saw these strong men on TV and looked at me lifting away and said, oh, that's you. I was like, no, no, that's you, mate. He's like, yeah, that was me a few years ago. And we had a few laughs and. And I just got a sense that he was just. He had so much to give. And I introduced myself and said, hey, mate, like, you, you're. You're the inspiration. Look at you. You know, here you are, 150 years old in the gym. No, I didn't say that, but I was like, here you are working out in the gym. Like, it's so awesome, isn't it? Just longevity. And he didn't look 82 by the way as well. And he was quite frail, but good skin, looked after himself as best as he can, you know, when you're in your 80s. But he's like, yeah, he's like, I'm 82. And I said, well, look, I just. I'd love some wisdom, some advice and life advice. And he went on a couple of different things. But the number one thing that really stuck for me that I want to share with you, man, is. And it's so powerful to hear this from an old man. It's nothing that we don't already know, but it's. What's important is the emphasis. It's like, where do we put the stamp? Where do we put the exclamation mark? And on this one, it's an important part. It's not the first part. Second, he said, as a. As a man, I'm not going to try and do an Indian accent, by the way. He said, as a man, you must have a vision. So we all know that, right? Like, but you forget it, you know, we can all put our fucking hand up. I mean, my. My goal is to. And that's what I feel blessed in, the skills I've developed. It is like a skill. The visionary in me, but. But yes, absolutely, man. None of us, you know, were born with it, but we inherently have it in us, but we don't focus on it. As a man, you must have a vision. And this is the part that really got me. And this might seem like nothing to someone who's in the middle of a set, just, you know, pumping up, trying to lift some weights, but this really hit deep with me because it's been the story of my life. As a man, you must have a vision, but it must also come with great challenge. That was a horrific attempt. I'm sorry. Sorry. To all our Indian members as well. What did my dad used to say? I'm not racist. I hate everyone equally. But no, this was profound, men. This really was. As a man, you must have a vision, but it must also come with great challenge. Otherwise the vision isn't worth it. He didn't say that second bit, but for me, that's exactly what I thought he said, as a man, you must have vision, but it must also come with great challenge. That second part, men, it must also come with great challenge. And we could dig deep and ask why. And I didn't have to. What he said is because through the hardship, it's when we discover who we really are. It's where we grow. It's where the opportunity is to build real wealth. Wealth is inside the heart and the soul and the identity of who you can become. Not so much just what you do, but what you can do through the hard times. That's so fucking true, man. Like, and the bigger you dream, the more you realize you don't have much time. Like, we've got big goals, big ambitions at hpf. We keep building brick by brick and chipping away and plugging away, and one day we'll be fucking monstrous on the map everywhere. But when that time comes. Oh, wow. No, no, look at the 10, 12, 15, 24, 32 years before that, and dedicating your life's work. I've been with Adam, our COO for five and a half years. I'm like, fuck me, man, that's gone quick. Wow. We just sat there one day reflecting, like, shit, five and a half years. Here's to the next five and a half. And then we laugh because we're like, well, you know what? People look at that and they think you're strange. Oh, you're doing that for 10 years or you, you're gonna spend the fucking time. What are you gonna do in 10 years? Like, what do most people do in 10 years? Like, fuck all. Make money, break down their family life, lose themselves. Like, 10 years goes like that, but you're gonna spend the time anyway.
But that's what I love about this.
You must have a vision, but it must also come with great challenge. Because men, if it doesn't come with challenge, the vision isn't fucking worth it. I promise you that. I promise you that. And you may have pockets of joy, happiness, fulfillment, contentment, but what you'll also holding fucking hands in partnership with is that question what, if so possibly regret, stagnation, settling a lower standard, comfortable, complacent. You know, I don't live my days filled with anxiety either. I fucking enjoy the challenge, man. It is almost like a form of joy. Just like training. The gym's like meditation for me because I've seen so many times with all the massive hardships and breakdowns in my life, on the other side of that is exponential growth. Now, do you need to be reckless and seeking out dangerous, damaging, environmentally risky, life risking type challenges and or risks inside of you? No, you don't, you know, but can you foster that in certain ways? Of course. And there's always a risk. It's not just money. There's a risk in the gym of injuring yourself that. So can we control or fabricate challenge, like doing a workout where the bar is always True. And you get that ninth rep, but you can't quite get the 10th. And it's quite humbling. Of course you can. Same with business, same with anything. But there's always a risk. The risk is, is the time I'm investing in this that I'll never get back worth it? Is the journey I'm on worth it? That's the risk. It's not fucking money. It's not losing everything. It's not gaining everything. It's not swapping things out. It's not even your life. It's what makes your life, the fucking chunks of time that we have. You must have a vision. But also, boys, it's gotta come with fucking challenge. Otherwise, I promise you, it's not fucking worth it. HPF now, Thousand day journeys, that's what we're rolling with, okay? Thousand days. It's not just one mountain. There's fucking limitless mountains. But let's walk through the next three. What does that look like for you? Stretching the vision. These are mountains. They're not. It's not an oasis, it's not a plane, a flat plain with water and drink stations. It's a fucking mountain. That's what we want to climb. That's what we choose to climb. That's what men who want to go fucking all in choose, right? Hey, I want to get some big fucking legs, a strong trunk, and get the fuck up the top of that point so I can see something different to what I see today. Ah, yes, good thinking. Yeah, good idea. Well, let's fucking go. Where's our first mini mountain? Let's climb that. I just bless him, the old Indian man, He wasn't saying all this. This is what I took from it, obviously. He just said that one liner. As a man, you must have vision, but it must also come with great challenge. So powerful man, where have you cut yourself short? Who's watching? Like, what sort of standard are you setting for your sons watching? Such limited vision or no vision. Without a vision, man will perish. Pretty common fucking saying across the world. It's true. What sort of vision do you have? You know what? I gotta say this as well. This is why we talk about a man becoming the prize. And how you can become very attractive to your wife. Again, peripherally. Nothing to do with her, but just peripherally, right? So her seeing you, observing, like side on, peripheral. What's really attractive is a man on a fucking mission. That's why your wife fell for you in the first place. More often than not. Here's this man doesn't need me. He's on a fucking mission. He's driven, he's determined, he's going somewhere. I want to fucking go there with him. That's leadership, man. My wife leads in many ways, but fuck me, mate, like, I've got the vision, not her. And then we create the vision together and we are part of a singular vision. Not she's part of my vision because without her, I wouldn't be able to fulfill the vision that I want. So it's our vision. But it's important for me as a leader to see more and before her and for a man to see more and before a woman. Women are incredible. If women listen to podcasts. How good. Challenge your fucking man and make sure he has that vision. But also understand that the reason why what I'm saying is true, doesn't discredit you in any way. You have beautiful gifts we can never match. But also through the sheer makeup of your brain, your psyche, with the six lane highway, that is the way you are wired with emotional regulation to inherently through your DNA, be able to have child rearing capabilities because of the volatility that comes with children. That also means you come with emotional volatility and turbulence, not just emotional regulation, which means it's hard for you. It's not your fault. You can have a vision, but it's hard for you to consistently see that and map out the logical pathway to get it. Full respect, ladies and men, this is why they are the way that they are. Not their fault, but that's why it's pretty important. It's not about control, submission, it's about a man. Hey, let me tap into my fucking brain and the way it works and try and carve out a vision for both of us. And then let's get buy in together. You got to have a vision, man. Where are you letting things slip, slide? Where you dropping the ball? Your son, your daughter looking up to you, where you can carve a phenomenal vision, but you're not. Which takes me to the third point. This was. I can't remember where this came from. I think it was definitely chatting with a member. All of these are inspired by the men, the tribe. It's fucking incredible. Most powerful asset in HPF is absolutely the men in the community. But we're talking about not regret, but somewhat. Yes, it's been tough and there've been tough times reflecting on the father I was and now I'm so glad I'm the father. I am. But what actually drives me is the pain and regret of How I let my children and my family down for so many years. And I said this to this member, but also made a note of this and wrote it down. That may be true, those memories will stand forever, nor should we try to wash them away or cover them up. But what I said to this man was, you can't rewrite memories, but you can replace the moments they remember. That's why today's the day. That's why you draw the fucking line in the sand. Member or not, you do fucking something. You do something to rewrite and replace moments they will remember. Nike famous saying, yesterday you said tomorrow. Don't be a fucking yesterday tomorrow man. Be a today man. Be a right fucking now man. And understand that whilst you can't rewrite memories, you can replace the moments they remember. You can't rewrite the downfall with your wife to you, you to your wife, both of you, your children. But you can replace the moments your wife will remember. You can replace the moments, right? Leadership 101 influence and focus life will unfold. You can replace the moments your children will remember through a sheer saturation of not overindulging, seeking, supplicating, going above and beyond and becoming a fucking panda, but through your genuine leadership and value of your communication, which is example, listening, talking, and then bundling that with context. So it fucking means something. It's not how much you do, it's not how much you talk, it's not how much you listen. It's the context and the depth and meaning to that 100 fucking percentage. HBF was born out of a lack of integrity of me as a man. And I've said to my wife, and I've said this in podcasts, I said, I'm fucking, you know, and I know it's a bit might seem extreme, but I've said to her before, I have said I don't regret what happened, but I've also said, I'm so fucking happy what happened happened, Corinne. Really? You're fucking happy that you caused so much pain now? I'm happy of what has come about from it, but I absolutely have no regrets. Have a look at what HPF has become. And it's not even me, just the spark, it's all the men fuck me like, how powerful, man? So I can't rewrite the memories of pain that I've caused her and she's caused me, but I can replace the moments over the last eight years that she will and has remembered and keep building on that. That's very powerful, men, very powerful. You can't rewrite memories, but you can replace the moments they remember. But that takes me to my final point for this. Al's insights. The whole if nothing changes, nothing changes, right? Can't, can't replace. And this is sort of a bit of a side one liner. But yeah, I hear people talking about, you know, it's good to look back on where you've come from. Well, let me, let me help you understand something that we can all remember, myself included. Hard to look back at where you've come from if you haven't fucking moved anywhere. You're looking back down at the same spot. You can only look back and reflect on where you've come from if you've moved somewhere else, if you've gone somewhere, if you've picked up that fucking knee, placed it forward, planted your foot down and taken some steps. Can't look back and reflect on where you've come from if you haven't fucking moved. So whilst you can't rewrite memories, you can replace the moments they remember. The only way that's actually done is through instilling change and different commitments. This last one, just to really think on, as I've learned as well, it's about growing. It's almost like anywhere or a marketplace or something, or housing or anywhere. There's always. Percentages are always going up. It's always a bit more next year or, you know, the market's x percent this or houses are X percent that's always, typically, life is always moving forward with or without you. Right? So this one here, it might have been right after Perth. I look at my life and every year it gets harder. But also look at my rate of growth and it's like two lines on a linear graph and the line of growth is moving at a more accelerated hockey stick than the line of challenge. If you're always in front, you'll always fucking find a way to win. If you're always in front, you'll always find a way to win. No matter what you face. I'm alive. I'm a fucking winner. I'll win this too. But that has come at the cost. There's always a cost and price to pay. I'm not a dull, boring man, but I make sacrifices to the eyes of an average man. But for me, they're investments of what not to do. To live a life worth living for myself, for those I serve, for my family. So my question to you, this final one liner, is actually a question to think about as I talk about growth and rate of improvement versus life Always getting harder. A couple with these other points, if you're not doing anything, happy is not a goal, it's a habit. Happiness and joy are both expressions and experiences tied together. The vision must come with great challenge. Can't rewrite memories, you can replace the moments they remember. These are very proactive things. They're very leadership based things. Proactive, not reactive. This final point, boys, this final one is my question to you. Knowing what you know about life now, what I've shared with you in this or the other podcasts, and those top three points. If you do nothing different, if you do not change your environment, if you do not seek proper accountability, if you do not have a proper pathway or direction, if you do not have things lined up to move throughout your life, up to your next mini mountain and grow and improve and change. If you do not take any actions towards improving who you are today to who you can become. It's almost like you visualize version 2.0, version 3.0 sitting on the table and I'm sitting next to you and we're pointing at this little model, this little GI Joe army figurine of you, right? It's version, it's like a, or it could be a hologram or it's, it's version 2.0. It's version 2.0 on that table. I'm sitting next to you going, that needs to be front and fucking center of our commitments here, not you. Let's use the current version of you as the conduit. But also let's just, let's just park, let's just bank those fucking feelings and let's focus on version 2.0 and get the fuck to work on building him. If you don't have that, if you're not, if you're not someone who's using your current version to become more. My final point is this question. What makes you think life is going to be easier next year if you're not changing for the better? Like, there's always change. You change all the time. Change with work, change with your conditions with work. You could change your output output in many different ways. You could change for the better, change for the worse, but there's always passive change. You can be passive and there's always change. If you're not actively actioning a positive change and personally developing yourself to become more. If you're not improving who you are today to become a better you tomorrow, what makes you think life is going to get any easier next year? Just sit on that like, and I'm not saying you've even had the thought, but I want you to sit down and just look forward. 2026. Go there now. 2026, what's that going to be like? Just. Just even if you close your eyes, move there. I mean, not now, but in your own time, especially if you're driving. But just sit there and go, what do I think 2026 will be like? We're halfway through 2025. What do I think 2026 will be like, why do I think it'll be that now? If you've painted the same picture? Well, fuck me, prefer you wouldn't. For your own good and sanity. Why would you want to chew up more chunks of your life pursuing the same, which is actually a downgrade? As happy as you may be with life, what a baseline to build off, and you're wasting it. But if you're seeing something better, if you're seeing something worse, well, I mean, fuck me, mate, my heart goes out to you, but please do something about it. If not for yourself or your children, they don't deserve it. But let's say we all have some optimism from Hal's podcast here. Why see a better future in 2026? Why? How? And then those things you're banking on that are going to increase your quality of life, how much do you actually control them? Oh, there's gonna be change in the market, is there? Oh, housing will go up. Oh, interest rates will go down. Oh, you feel confident about that job you're gonna secure and get a promotion? Are you confident with the new business you'll attain in 2026? And. Yeah, cool. So more money. Okay. How guaranteed? Oh, pretty guaranteed. Cool. Walk me through your personal health and conditions. Okay. What's your blood work? What's your body fat percentage? Walk me through your relationships with your family. Like, boys, family. Walk me across all three. Get me up to speed next year. Why is it better? How is it better if you don't have real legitimate answers, real legitimate commitments and clarity on the vision and the challenge that will come? My question to you is, what makes you think life is going to be easy next year? What makes you think you'll achieve that? How do you know? How do you know? And this is the hardest part as we wrap this up. Like, we talk about truth and integrity and honesty, but it's really hard because it's like, I'm a truthful, honest man. Yeah, cool, that's great. But are you actually bringing up the truth? Are you exploring those truths? Are you interrogating and tying down the truths in not now, but in the future. Are you tying down those future truths? How do you know that they're true? Do you actually have real facts or is it more of a subjective viewpoint? Is it more as a subjective truth? Truth with two Fs? More of a subjective truth. Is it just your perspective? Our marriage is good, man. It's an eight out of ten. How do you know? Wow, only 80%. If you're living 80% of your life, would you be happy? Fuck me. That's pretty big, bro. That's 1/5 that's missing. You're proud of 8 out of 10. And how do you even know it's 8? What could be missing? What's the 20% in your marriage that you're missing the mark on? Please understand. Look, I'm not a manipulative man. I'm here for you. Like, there are easier ways to make money, easier ways to spend my time. This mission. I'm here to fucking serve, man. I'm here to fucking bleed my cun out. And I will make sure that we do not miss. We will fucking win. Hpf, the men, this mission, this message, all of you, the life you can live, make no fucking mistake. So when I share this, it comes from a place of skill and development over the years to seek out the best in you by harnessing the truth, which comes with pain, but also future opportunity and pleasure and reward and outcomes and fulfillment and achievement. Fucking significance. We've all got work to do. Come into hpf. You're an Olympian. Fucking great, man. Walk me through your relationships and legacy you're building and how you're showing your children what to look for in a husband as they get older. You're a billionaire. Fucking outstanding, man. So wealthy. Tell me, how many other men have you mentored to make wealthy and set their families up for life? You've got a six pack. Outstanding, mate. How do you harness that high level of energy and operation to not only show that example to your children, but also to level yourself up with the skill sets physically, mentally, emotionally. Looks like you're pretty high level. That allows you to provide more value to the marketplace and make more fucking money so you can show your children the value exchange that exists in the world and providing for society, man. It's a tough game. Welcome to the ocean. Hardest fucking game ever. Be a killer whale with the fucking pod in the ocean and hunt to be a top 1% across the board. You cannot do that. If you cannot clearly answer this question, what makes you think you'll achieve your Goals next year. What makes you think life will be easier? Let's just come back to that. Let alone maintain what you're doing, let alone achieve your goals, you're ahead of the curve. Love and respect to you all, men. Keep it short and sweet. Thirty minutes in, that'll do. Hope this serves you well. Happiness. Not a goal, it's a habit. You express happiness, optimism, positivity doesn't need to be falsified. You seek that and find it through the hardships. And also you experience joy. You tie the two together. As a man, visions are fucking great. Love it. Don't be a dreamer. It must come with fucking challenge. Like, dreaming is great, but let's convert that into this is my vision. And this is why it's worth it. Because look at these fucking mountains I've got to climb. And whilst you can't rewrite memories, you can replace the moments that those you love and care about remember. People won't really remember what you did. They'll remember how you made them feel. Both would be awesome. And what makes you think that life's gonna be easier next year? And what can you do about it to make sure that you one up life and you're ahead of the curve and you're leading accordingly. The way you were fucking born to. The way you were destined to. Take care, man. I'll see you on the next one. Cheers. Well, that wraps up another episode.
And just as we wind this down,
I want you to just reflect and
think back through some of the golden nuggets, some of the revelations, some of the sore.
Some of the things that might have
hit home with you.
And then just look at ways that
you can apply a different set of
actions to change your position, change your
circumstances, change your feelings, and change the facts. These episodes are done with your best interest at heart. And there's always something we can get from that. Maybe it's not the first time, maybe it's the second time. We've had members listen to episodes four or five times and then it finally clicks.
But either way, I hope you got a lot of value out of this.
And also, if this is something that you really want to solidify inside of your life, repetition is the key. You've listened to it. Write down your revelations, think about them, read them, speak them. Believe in the changes that you will carve out in the action plan of those revelations to create change in your life, and then share that. And when you teach, you learn the second time, right? So teaching and showing this to others you love and care about is the greatest way that you can remember and make sure you consistently learn and relearn what is it's true and what is it is important to you in your heart. Take care. Have an amazing day night weekday weekend and I'll see you for another one soon.
Cheers.
