"We all engage in negotiations all the time. And that's why it's important to remember that we can get better at it. That's why. I invited alex carter to show us how alex is the author of the new book. Ask for more ten questions to negotiate anything. She's also a clinical professor and the director of the mediation clinic at columbia university and she trains people at fortune. Five hundred companies and even the united nations on how to be better negotiators and it works after our discussion. I took alex's approach and used it in one of my own negotiations and double the offer. I had on the table. Thanks alex and then once we're better negotiators stick around for the phone moment of the show. If there's one thing that's gotten us through this quarantine it's been humor and i invited an internet sensation. Whose viral videos personally kept me sane to come on the show. His name is mack bushel. And he'll tell us how to create content that resonates without spending any money or leaving your apartment and now onto the interview but before we begin. I should note that alex carter was actually one year ahead of me in college and i served with her in student government on the financial aid committee way back when i was a bright eyed first year student but we really hadn't kept in touch since so when her publisher sent me your book. I was so excited to have her on homo sapiens and to reconnect. I also knew that. I'd have to come clean on the fact that while. I'm known as patrick mcguinness today. That was not always the case. So i started the interview by asking alex if she remembered what people used to call me back in college. Yeah they called you pat. Yeah and what do you remember about me in college. I'm curious like you always struck me as such a like happy positive person. I remember that your name was allie. Alex i was pat. I'm patrick so that's kind of funny that we change our names but i also remember that you were very involved in student. Government and student government at georgetown. We all thought we were running the country. it was like sort of. we were mega. Lo maniacal i think is the correct word. I remember thinking that you had tons power. Oh my god. In fact. I think i thought i had tons of power. Patrick okay. i'm getting so i remember..

Her name is christina stumble and she's the founder and ceo of farm. grow flowers. and. So i i was really impressed. I read her bio and i looked at the product online. And so i said yeah definitely will have her on but at the same time i hadn't really come across the product in the real world and now of course you know how the matrix works. It's like icy her stuff everywhere. Everybody's talking about her. It's really insane. How many people.

"Cuomo after like so much thinking and looking at patterns of behavior that it almost melted my brain. It took months of just like thinking all the time. I identified this pattern of behavior. Which i call the four tendencies which divides people into upholders questioners obliges and rebels as you say on how they respond to expectations because it turns out. This is a very narrow aspect of your personality but it's very significant because we can all decide to do something but when he actually follow through.

"Everybody. Welcome to another episode of foam sapiens after hours today. I wanna talk about the perfect morning routine. Did you know that there is a series of steps. You can follow every morning if you do it. Exactly right. you will be so successful you will be post economic rich. You'll be richer than all your friends will be better looking more. Fete more charming more popular. Just all around. You'll actually be taller as well. Obviously okay that's obviously not true right There is no perfect morning routine but people love to obsess over morning routines and actually. There's this whole thing on youtube. It's called b line perfectionism. And i heard about this and then i was talking to one of my really close friends about this. My friend jason. Hey told me. His son oliver oliver. Oliver is very interested in morning routine videos on youtube. This is like a little bit of like it's like i. Am sr kind of thing like to people like to watch these videos about the perfect morning routine the perfect desk and all that sort of stuff and so there's a lot of culture around there's all this sort of foam. Oh sort of productivity porn out. there. There's the cuts how i get it done. There's the new york times sunday routine. Which i've actually had a few people. I know who are in there and it's awesome. But i'm sort of like. Do you really do that on sunday. Like no you don't and so so. I've actually seen them on the sunday and they're not perfect right so it's a lot of stuff that's put out there which is kind of interesting but i think it's it's not it's not real and so i wanna talk about that because it is it is interesting to hear about the quintessential morning routines that successful people follow right. It's things like well. They get up and they journal and then they read they meditate that do breath work and visualization and a gratitude practice. They take their five am run. They make the absolutely most beautiful. Instagram -able macho. Lotta which i like much taste but not at five. Am they do yoga. Of course and it's not even eight o'clock it right and so there's this whole concept of the five. Am cloud like if you get up really early. You're gonna be way better. Which really stinks for. Somebody like me who. I'm not good in the morning. And frankly the idea of getting up that early. It's just not in my dna and we all know that were all made differently. It sorta like you know if you ever did yoga before it's sort of like some people can do specific poses. They're going to be able to do the ankle to depots some people. Just they're not gonna get there like i'm not going to do a split. I could work on it for thirty five years. Maybe maybe maybe there's a yoga instructor. Who would like to tell me that. I'm wrong but i just don't think my body is ever going to do is split and i'm pretty good with that so you know i'm also never going to be part of the five. Am club. and i'm okay with that too but it is sold to us like this bill of goods and there's you know i read an article recently and business insider about tim cook of apple and he gets up at three forty five. Am and sort of like. I'm thinking like well. If i get up at three forty five will i be the ceo of one of the largest companies in the world. I don't think so. But that's what people are trying to tell me. And i don't like it. I don't like being offered that. And i also think that it saying to us. Well if you start things right you know. The rest of the day doesn't really matter. It's like you gotta get it right in the morning and then everything else is perfect. And you all know If you haven't read it. I will break you in on a little secret. Which is like this thing about breakfast. Being the most important meal of the day is propaganda. Ray it's it's i guess. It was started by the egg and bacon association of america. because now we're all told like intermittent fasting. You don't have to eat breakfast. In fact i haven't had breakfast in really longtime i never really liked. I liked the foods of breakfast. I like to eat them later in the day. But i never was able to sort like put food in my stomach in the morning. I just can't do it and And so i used to feel like oh man. I'm really screwing up here. Now it's opera ganda. And so i just wanna demystify guess. Just debunk the idea. That there is a perfect morning routine and of course this is not. I don't think it should be that controversial. But i think we're all again we're fad. This sort of concept and i remember with writing is very similar kind of thing with writing and productivity where. I used to read about writers who they would say. Well you know you have to get up every morning and right from six. Am to eight am. And i remember thinking. First of all you i just said i'm not going to get up that early. Second of all that sounded very rigid to me. That's just not the way. I see the world. In fact. When i started working on writing a book because before i wrote my books actually worked on a fiction book which is not a very good book and there are some chapters out there that probably will. I will never publish them. Unless i can fix them. But i remember writing. And i enjoyed writing at random times of the day and i thought well you know. I'm really productive at these times. What am i doing it wrong because writers are supposed to write three hours a day and then there's supposed to not do anymore that day and it's supposed to be very fixed and very stable and that's just not who i am and so i think it's important just as i learned with writing like you know i wrote my book i wrote. I mean this is like what you're not supposed to do. I treated it. Like i was doing like a. I don't know like a pitch in investment banking days and i just went and worked really hard for six weeks just every day. You know twelve hour days until i had a draft and so that was the right thing for me. I don't think i could have gotten a better result. Had done at the two hours a day in the early morning way. I just have to find the right way for me and so it goes with the morning routine. Let me tell you about my morning routine okay. Here's the big secret. I don't have one so every day the night before. I look at what i have in the morning. And i say okay. I need to get up at xyz. Time great okay and then i set my alarm. I go to bed. I wake up at that time. Sometimes i wake up early. That's fine too. And in fact if i wake up super early these days i've been waking up. You know weird hours like five or six in the morning. I use what my friend near. Al recommended to me in terms of falling back asleep. Which is you say you say yourself. The body gets what it needs so if the body has had enough sleep you get up if it hasn't you'll fall back asleep. That's a little trick. I i used to sort of overcome that frustration of waking up too early. But then when i get up that's it i got a coffee and then i just you know sort of figure out what i'm going to do for the day and maybe that day i feel like going and doing something physical. Maybe that day. I have to rush out the door. Maybe that day. I'm going to read or do some emails. Maybe that day. I'm going to just sorta chill out. I don't like to meditate in the morning. I just can't get my head around it. I do that later in the day. I don't watch tv in the morning. I don't listen to music in the morning so again. this is an i. i'm perfectly productive would be more productive me. Maybe but frankly. I feel pretty good about where i am. I don't need to optimize. i don't have the fogo on that sort of stuff. And so i would encourage you to just sort of you know if being highly ridge in the morning is what you need. Yeah good good. Go for it. But this glorification this productivity porn around the morning routine. I just i don't wanna i don't wanna have it in my life anymore. All that set. I'm sure some of you have the things that you do in the morning or the evening of the afternoon things that really work for you. That are sort of routine based. Because i am a creature of habit so i do understand the ritual and the benefits of ritual so. Drop me a line. Let me know what works for you. Maybe think patrick you're crazy. The morning routine is the best thing ever or you say. Patrick you're right. I don't believe in any of the stuff either. But i'd love to hear from you and i'll be sharing some of the highlights on a future episode. You can reach me at. Let's connect patrick mcguinness dot com or you can find me at. Pg mcginnis on twitter or patrick mcguinness on instagram. As you know as i've been telling you over the weeks. I love hearing from you. You give me so many ideas for future shows so check it out semi some comments. Let me know what what. I did right idea wrong today. Let me know what you like me to talk about on homo sapiens. After hours every week an opportunity to talk about something we heard on the show or talk about something that is happening in the zeitgeist. We're talk about stuff like this. That just kinda shows up on my doorstep and i'm sorta like Sounds like something we should talk about. So think about it semi some information and i will see you soon.

"Those but i remember they were i was like what is that i never went but it is so different and it can really help you and so i just wanted to sorta had him on the show to demystify something that for me is really cool and i really enjoyed and it's good for a lot of things so by the way i'm not making advertisement for the hypnotism industry here but i would do some research about why people go and it's for everything from to be more confident when you're doing public speaking and to kind of do with nerves it can be for sleeping. Quit something like smoking or biting your nails or some other sort of vice as it were. It can be For dieting and stress management. It could be for fear so all kinds of different stuff and in fact. That's what got me started on this whole thing with hypnotism that i wasn't fear so much but it was kind of like after the financial crisis when my job blew up and everything i felt a lot of anxiety around that and i felt like we're just like bad feelings around all the stuff that had happened in so somebody said go to a hypnotist and so i went to this guy who is a master hypnotist and this guy not gonna say his name but he is new york city and i went to him and he was amazing. I really really liked him. And he had been doing this. For a long time. In fact he got into the business of hypnotism because he had been a smoker a very heavy smoker and he couldn't couldn't couldn't quit and couldn't quit and he finally quit through hypnotism. And i think he smoked four packs a day or something he told me and then eventually he learned how to hypnotize other people because hypnotism helped him so much. He wanted to sort of. Give that back to people now. It's not a great business model if you're carrying people something and they don't come back to you but you know he does all kinds of other things to like what i was in there for with him and i'll tell you about the experience because i think it's cool to sort of get into it. I referred to it a little bit in the episode. But let me tell you a little bit more. So i went into his office and he actually put on this vibrating sound. And it's the vibrating. Sound is supposed to sort of move your coalesced your brainwaves to a certain level and that makes it easier for you to get into a trance. And then he had me lay on the couch and sort of do this exercise where i counted backwards and i would in my head. I would write a number down on a chalkboard and then a race. It like ninety nine and the ninety eight race ninety seven or eight so on and so forth. And when i get to ninety i'd have to start again at ninety nine and i did that a couple of different times until he asked me you know. He gestured to me and said something like please you know. Move your right finger if you are you believe that you have reached the point where you are feeling deep relaxation and so i did and then he sort of took me this journey. Who's really kind of interesting. He he had me get. I believe was not like an an escalator. Go down and then. I went down into this. The subterranean space. And when you get there you. It's like walking into a room in mind. You're imagining these things in your mind right and you walk in and you see these colors and i remember seeing these kind of dark colors kind of almost like an inky color with some flashes of different brighter colors and then he sort of started to say like you know. Don't feel bad about this. And try to disassociate the way. I felt you know. Don't focus on the negative and you don't wanna be upset about this anymore and sort of giving me suggestions about how i should think about these feelings. And then he sort of reversed the whole thing. And i was out and when i when i remembered the whole thing and in fact you know so i was sort of like woke up and i was like well. I don't think it worked and he said oh you're you're definitely you were you're hypnotizing. The i don't know. I remember everything and he said no. No no there are towels. You're eyes were fluttering there. Was i guess particularly like the the arteries remains in your neck. They sort of pulse. And that's assigned to the hypnotists that you are in fact in a trance. I didn't think so by wolves crazy too is and he said. He gave me a glass of water. And he said isn't this glass of water Tasty and in fact. It wasn't if it was like everything was enhanced. I just sorta felt like wow. This is so delicious. And i walked home. I think i sang as walking down the street. Because you just feel so good. I was really kind of loopy but i just felt so amazing. It's kind of like you feel like you just woke up from nineteen our sleep but in a good way. Not when you're feeling gross after you sleep. I felt relaxed. I felt good. I felt well being just like hey. I walked home from midtown to my apartment lower manhattan and i just felt like wow and so i just really. I has positive experience with that And i went to daniel ryan who i of course i talked to on the show the other day for for something else and And i loved his approach. It was a little different. Because i'm like the sort of more traditional approach. I guess i would say. I thought it was kind of more traditional approach of like you know. Don't do this don't do that. His is a little bit more about like connecting positive things so the idea is you wanna kinda rewire your brain. So that when you when a certain thing happens or you think of certain thing you don't have negative feelings you have positive feelings. And so he was more like rewiring the brain towards when you think of this feel good about this or think about the positive aspects of this thing and so i was able to then it was crazy. We talked about it after and it was sort of like. I started to realize that the way that i saw certain things had changed some somehow like the association was different and so like something that before would have been a very normal way of thinking about something all all of a sudden. You're like well. That's just not how i see the world and so it's amazing and having talked to people who've done it to quit things it's sort of like you have somebody who You know i've had friends who've done everything from The they went to to quit smoking right. And so Somebody was telling me that when they quit smoking. The idea is that they didn't ever withdrawals but like the idea of picking up a cigarette after that. It's like it's like something they didn't do. You might as well pick up a snake we. I don't touch those things that's kind of where the mind is even the touch them every day for a long time. I've also had a friend whose father was very ill with cancer every train. He drink water when he drank the water. It would make Basically couldn't he couldn't drink because it tasted very bad to him like almost like a weird kind of battery taste and because of hypnotism he could drink the water again and so he was totally fine so it was really interesting. That and as i talked to daniel by the way you know he has a different approach to because it's not he sort of had me go. I shouldn't probably reveal his secrets on the on the internet but Just tell you that you go into a place where you feel very safe like you think about a place where you've always felt very safe and then from there you sort of get into into this state of almost like watching a film on the wall and and so you when i when i walked into the room where we watched the film because you get the space you sort of get an elevator and you go down. And that's more like getting down into your subconscious right. When i walked into that room. I saw the same colors that inky color. The bright colors that i had seen before and i asked him about that. Because we did a little debrief and he said. Oh it's your subconscious. Which is crazy right. You get to hang out with your subconscious. And i think it's a really a lot of people cry at that point. Apparently because it's pretty. It's pretty heavy in a good way. Sort of i mean if you're in a good space and you like yourself and you get to meet yourself your deepest level and i know i sound like crazy right now but you know they just like roll with me on this on. It was cool And i thought. I thought that was like a pretty profound experience. So i i really liked it and And i find that it really works and in fact. I'm actually going to go back to daniel this sort of doing this episode I'll totally confess like one of my big fears. I'm really afraid of doctors. I always have been. Because when i was a little kid. My doctor I was kind of an overweight child and he used to be. He says the meanest off to me he said one time like. i guess. You don't starve yourself. do you stuff like that. That was crazy and It gave me a lot of hangups with doctors. And so as a result. I i really hate going the doctor every time i go i swear to god like i walk in there and i'm like sweating bullets and so i'm gonna go to daniel because that's something that he helped me with these me so i'm going to check it out and hopefully that will cause me to go to the doctor. We're gonna see this in about two weeks with special guests on the show sergei young. He wrote a book about how to stay young forever and one of his advice pieces was like. You have to go to the doctor. If you wanna live you have to. I not die and so going. The doctor is really important. And as i read that i thought i need to get over my fear of doctors and then i thought of daniel and we shall see how it goes. I will let you know how it goes but it's important. So that's the thing that i i want to try out and i know that it's a good strategy for me anyway because having talked with daniel and the other person that i worked with i. It's hard for me to get into a trance. Because i i tend to over. Think things you might have noticed about me but it's very powerful somehow hypnotism works really well for me. And that's not for everybody some people you know. I don't want to over. Promise the benefits here because you could go to hit the tests and you find. It doesn't help right By i will say that for me so far gone. It's been super powerful. And i don't know what that says about me. But apparently like twenty thirty percent of people just are really receptive to it. So i will add because i would much rather do something like hypnotism that is a you know a small investment of time and money but doesn't require you to take anything. There's no side effects. It's really enjoyable. You might even sing. While you're walking down the street in manhattan last time i got hypnotism. I ended up at a which i've never even had chick-fil-a it was delicious now. I know i shouldn't need here because you know it's problematic. And but i i did eat there that one time and i think they hypnotism taste even better so with that I just wanted to explain that. Because why daniel on and kind of my own experiences. Because i don't know it's one of the things that i'll try many things at least once and frankly i enjoyed it so much that i've been back and i will be going back again soon. So if you have a view on this he's tried hypnotism and worked or didn't work or you have some other strategies that you like to share it you can find me If you email me. Let's connect patrick mcguinness dot com or on instagram at patrick mcguinness or on twitter at pj. Mcguinness i love hearing from you as i've been telling you every week.

"It's not media's responsibility to accurately depict hypnosis but that's why we're confused man. It's it is if we can just marvel together at how dramatized in crazy a lot of the stuff.

"Old enough to know better. But you're still young enough to say will why not so i make the call. I get a call back and before you know it. there's my granddaughter. Sitting at the desk of president. Barack obama said no taking the pigeon because she had a dream. She wanted to know what it felt like. This is my way of not just saying the words but showing her. This is what permission to dream. Feels like and you know the crazy thing man. We wrap it up. We get ready to leave. And the president of the united states says to my granddaughter. Will you know what if you do real good in school and you do everything. You'll pompous in about thirty years. This could be yours right there right there. She said to him no is twenty eight and a half man. I created a monster. But you know what again. That's what gives me such tremendous for the future man and let me say one more thing. Patrick if i cannot take a lot of time but this to your point about some of us who are little bit older down the road a lot of that and who might feel like oh man i can't it will never happen. I'm too old. Yeah well you know what always talked to folks about a gun in break crop then. They might not ring a bill but he started a little company called mcdonald's he started dead at fifty six years of age. Another guy named john pembleton name may not ring a bill. But i bet you consumed this product. He created something called coca cola what he was fifty eight harland sanders also known as the colonel didn't sell this first piece of chicken till he was sixty two. So how old is too old. Okay let's take that off the table a right. This has been done before sir but now it's our turn you and the book with this chapter that i really love because anybody can follow this vice and begin to do exactly what you're telling us to do you say this is the epilogue. It's brush your teeth and change your life in two days to end the interview. I love for you to give us that methodology of how we can in two days brushing our teeth which is good. You gotta brush your teeth. We can change our lives. That started out as a homework assignment that i gave the high school middle school students all across the country but again it's something we all do it when you do it as backup for second in the field. I'm assuming you saw the pursuit of happiness enrique. Here's guy driving this red ferrari and i go up to ask two questions what you do in. How do you do that with as a new two questions while you're looking at that person mira while you're brushing your teeth. Ask yourself if. I could walk through a door tomorrow morning and be doing anything in the world. What would it looked like would feel like what would it smell like. What would it tastes like. Engage all your senses and then ask yourself the second question. What did i do today to make tomorrow habit. Did i move the dial one notch. Did i take one baby step towards what it is. I say i really wanted to do in. The answer is own you. Did i move the notch again to think about that. Just one notch. Did i take one baby step if the answer is no. That's not really what you wanna do. You what i thought about this chapter because i love this and this is. It's like you can do this. Everybody can do this. I used to live in brazil people in brazil. Brush your teeth like eight times a day. So if you're a brazilian you're gonna have a lot of progress in your life because if you do this every time you brush your teeth. They're very good about oral hygiene for some reason but this is something everybody can do.

The world has changed a lot but actually this company that i spoke to the ceo of the company. Jenn wong at read it. It has been in the news a ton and the reason. I did the episode back then. Because i didn't really understand anything about read it and having done the episode and listen to it again. I realized we get into so many things that are now relevant with the meam economy and game stop and all the crazy stuff that's happening on. Read it so. This episode is required. Listening in jan is just a super amazing human being and since the episode the company went on to raise a bunch of money at a crazy valuation. Like six billion dollars. So congrats jen. You're gonna love this episode because it is fresh and relevant and also kind of crazy. Just what's going over there. Read me we should have back on. Think about that for next season.

"Fomo i wouldn't advocate lying. Ever and bluffing isn't lying. Bluffing is just selective representation. It's representing your strengths and not talking about your weaknesses. It's how do you present information in a way that makes you look like the strongest possible version of yourself. And that's definitely something that i've taken away from poker and have started applying real life all the time because it makes me appear like a stronger person. That's maria connor cova of the new york times bestseller the biggest bluff. How i learned. Pay attention master myself and win. I'm your host. Patrick mcguinness and this is almost sapiens. When the world spinning out of control it can be impossible to know what to do and what to miss out on. That's called fomo which is short for fear of missing out. How do i know because i coined the term and on the world's first full malla gist and this is the show where i asked. Entrepreneurial thinkers.

"Fomo i think of networking as a numbers game. Where you know you go to event's virtual or in person and you literally just get cards right and then maybe follow up. Maybe connect on linked in a connector. Is someone who builds a deep meaningful relationship with someone else for the very purpose of building a deep meaningful relationship not with.

Patrick's Hot Take on Clubhouse
"Everybody it's another episode of after hours and today. Oh boy we're going to talk about the most fomo inducing social media app out there drum. Roll me second drummer. Drummoyne desk here. It's called clubhouse okay so you might remember a couple of weeks ago. We had A listener mail. Message from brent mcginnis and i was talking to brat around that time and we stayed in touch. He wrote me a note and he said hey. Do you have any advice for clubhouse. You know i'm going to start getting involved clubhouse and my my answer was i don't know because clubhouses causing me a bunch of foam stress i don't think about clubhouse and so i decided to talk about club does this week because it. I just said it like a canadian. Their club hosts. I meant clubhouse. Because everybody's talking about clubhouse. I feel like every conversation i have has a clubhouse element and everybody kind of criticize out clubhouses the worst but yet they're all on it and so i just think it's interesting to unpack that. What the heck is going on with clubhouse and so i have five conham went through for five hot takes on clubhouse that i wanna share with you today okay. Hot take number one this. I don't think it's that hard to take. But tell you think i think clubhouse is interesting and i'm gonna tell you why i have spent a little time on there and people have cool conversations. That are outside of the norm. So i think the very obvious use case clubhouse it's a place to congregate a following so for example we can have a really cool foam sapiens event. Where a bunch of us get together and we start talking about the show and the things that we like from the show. It'd be great chance for me to meet some you listeners. And maybe we'll even do that in fact if you're interested doing that and you're a member of clubhouse I would love to hear more about that. You can actually follow me on clubhouse at petro mcguinness so check me out patrick mcguinness and i just like like the fact that you get groups of people together and there are some really interesting people. Obviously the musk's of the world now those types come on. That's great too. But i i was on a A bunch of conversations about dating or about social life for about politics and people. I never heard of were getting up and talking pretty honestly and sometimes saying some crazy things. I was like ward. You said that. While but i just think it's a great way to learn about topics that you may not have exposure to and frankly i was looking to a conversation about race and that's a conversation that i really wanted to hear and i don't have all the time with with certain people in so hearing about Concepts of racial equity and and in from people who are living Living lives are affected by racism for me was super education. I valued being able to hear that. So i think there's a lot of value for people when they listen on clubhouse but let's move onto number two hot tag number two. It is super super time. Consuming i mean you get on clubhouse and then you like fourteen hours later when you get off because your phone is dying. You're like oh my god like what time go i. I wonder if people maybe just put it on in the background while they're doing other things but who is just. It just sucks up a lot of time. And i have a good friend who's been doing a benz on there and she was telling me her experiences like yeah. I love doing it. But frankly i you know i i. It's like start things. Go for three hours. So you start at nine o'clock and suddenly midnight and you're sorta like gosh. What are the time go and so it does require a ton of time and that's an interesting thing because obviously during a pandemic people have time to spare and so it's just a great way to kill time but what's going to happen when people are busy again. Are they gonna wanna be clubhouse. That is a mystery. We don't know what's going to happen. But i do think that the time sort of element. It's going to have to change because people cannot devote three hours for conversation Every week or every night or however frequently you're on it. And i think maybe after the pandemic will see that those conversations will get a little shorter. That's what i would predict but we will see when that happens.

"I've been hogging the haagen the mike here for too long so one thing i as. I'm listening to you talk. I'm realizing that a huge piece of doing this successfully has to do with maybe having the courage to say no and i always think about well. What would make that hard. And i'm sure that there are some psychological traits. Where if maybe you are in a situation in life where you did not have a lot of opportunity. Let's say you grew up without any food. Gluttony would be a much bigger struggle for you once you get around. There's food everywhere. 'cause you're in the scarcity mindset of five. Don't need it now. Maybe it won't be there tomorrow and like you mentioned that the problem becomes suggestion not version so having studied this. You have any advice for people who may be struggle with fear of missing out or fomo. It's extra hard for them to say. No i will not take that opportunity. Because i have faith that if i say no to the wrong things the right thing will come. Oh yeah this two things that you made me think of the first is just every time you mentioned fomo now anytime anyone says that to me. I just had patrick mcguinness on the show. And he's pushing came up with the term fomo So that's like a pretty good mic. Drop right away right. He's the first person to publish that term online. And now it's in the dictionary But he he had some really great insight about about fomo and also a similar thing which is phobos which is the fear of better options way. You're always looking for something that could be better than one you having. You're worried that somebody else has that option. So you just in this. Endless unhappiness cycle Because because something better exists in you know in the in the world and it probably does but you don't have to spend your whole life indecision or in or in chasing everything right so anyway. That's sort of my fomo thing..
