1:54

All right. Welcome to episode 584. Hello

1:58

my friend. Welcome to a fresh new episode. episode

2:00

of New Mindset Who Disks. As

2:02

always, thank you so much for listening. Thank you

2:04

for supporting me in today. I really

2:07

hope you listen to this episode because

2:09

I don't consider myself to be some,

2:11

you know, wise beyond his ears or

2:13

enlightened guy. I just

2:15

consider myself to be expressive, to have,

2:17

you know, this ability to find words,

2:19

to describe my life experiences, and then

2:22

couple that with a bit of enthusiasm

2:24

and optimism and voila, you have what

2:26

I have to offer, which is perspective.

2:29

And there's a perspective I've learned in

2:31

my life that's recently become so obvious

2:33

to me. I'm about to turn 36

2:37

and that's a great age, frankly. I love

2:39

it. I feel secure. I feel confident. I

2:42

don't feel young or naive

2:44

or lost and kind of wandering and

2:47

I certainly don't feel old and washed up. You

2:49

know, I'm right in the middle, right in the meat

2:52

of the curve, right where I belong. But that being

2:54

said, I've learned a thing or two over the past

2:56

36 years and there's one thing in

2:58

particular I want to share today that's on the top

3:00

of my mind and that's

3:02

that you can have all the money in the

3:04

world, all the accolades, the headlines, a ton of

3:06

friends, you could have wealth, you

3:08

could have luxury, but it means

3:11

nothing if you're not capable of

3:13

slowness in your life. Slowness

3:16

being unrushed. So

3:19

I think true wealth in life is your

3:21

ability to go slow. True

3:23

wealth in life is your ability to go

3:25

about your life in an

3:28

unrushed manner. Unrushed. And

3:30

I know that sounds like classic mindfulness, right, which

3:32

it kind of is because it's

3:34

so wildly important, but as

3:36

I've learned it's something you tend to

3:38

not realize until later because

3:40

in the immediate, in the here and now,

3:43

we're busy. Literally busy. We're

3:45

rushing. We're going fast. We're being

3:47

rushed. We're being pushed to go

3:50

fast. And I've just

3:52

realized that you can have, You

3:54

know, the things that you're working so hard for, let's call

3:56

it money and let's call it success. You could have those

3:58

things, but if you don't, The time to

4:01

just be to go slow Then

4:03

what is the point? Most.

4:06

Of us don't make time to go slow.

4:08

To have time to possess it

4:10

literally to be on rust. We're

4:12

not experiencing time. Most of us,

4:15

most of us are rushing through

4:17

it truly like a think about

4:19

you her day. How many times

4:21

in a single day? Let's call

4:23

it a Monday or a Tuesday.

4:25

How many times in a Monday

4:27

or Tuesday are you actually experiencing

4:29

the depth of a minute? Or

4:32

like five minutes. Like truly just

4:34

being in it. intentionally going slow,

4:36

intentionally being on rushed. If you're

4:38

like. Me, It's probably infrequent, truly.

4:40

Even in a moments where you're

4:42

like transitioning and there's nothing to

4:44

do but to transition, call, it's

4:46

going to the gym, are getting

4:49

your coffee, or making your coffee,

4:51

or your commute or whatever. Even

4:53

in those moments, we are still

4:55

kind of removed from time because

4:57

we're rushing, Were rushing, were driving

4:59

fast, were thinking about the next

5:01

thing we're looking at our phone,

5:03

were multitasking, were never just at

5:06

ease, were never truly on rust

5:08

says a cleats or mentally. And

5:10

when I think about it now at

5:13

almost thirty six, that is not the

5:15

kind of wealth the I want to

5:17

build in my life. I want wealth.

5:20

Sure, in the traditional sense, I want

5:22

nice things, I want financial security, I

5:24

want deal, occasional, go big and flex

5:26

sure. But I'm increasingly realizing that wells

5:29

the wealth that I want to accrue

5:31

is that of time. Is. That

5:33

of going slow is that of being

5:35

unrest to me that his wealth that

5:37

is my new definition of wealth that

5:40

as the the new definition of luxury

5:42

tolling small because really being here in

5:44

Miami for instance. There's a

5:46

stupid amount of money in Miami skinheads. Gray?

5:48

That's good. Good for those people. The so

5:50

many people here with so much money they

5:52

don't know what to do with it. and

5:54

I guess as gray go off king, go

5:56

off queen. Fantastic. Have your money, but I've

5:58

been around a lot of. The people and

6:00

in a rich people and events and

6:02

social events And you see these people

6:05

and I'm again other wealthy at awesome

6:07

But I see them in their day

6:09

to day lives and their the same

6:11

I suppose as you are meets in

6:13

the sense that they're still rushing, they're

6:15

still obsessed over what's next, over the

6:17

next thing, over stealing, to their next

6:19

appointment or their next meeting or the

6:21

next dealer, the next whatever who Who

6:23

knows they're still rushing. since his they're

6:25

still wrestling. They have all the money

6:28

to wealth. The things that perhaps we.

6:30

Are working towards but they're

6:32

still rust. They. Have all

6:34

the money but they don't. How

6:36

would I think is true wealth

6:38

which is being on rust which

6:41

is intentional slowness, slowness on that

6:43

choosing in life to save instead

6:45

of to skim rats using to

6:47

immerse yourself rather rather than to

6:49

to hurry past something a life

6:52

right? practically. It's that the morning

6:54

coffee we drink from a mug

6:56

in our home instead of a

6:58

travel couple are rushing. It's going

7:00

for a long walk without a

7:03

destination where. The walk itself

7:05

is the purpose. It's reading a

7:07

book shocker with your phone turned

7:09

off double shocker trade and I

7:11

know these things sound cheesy, but.

7:14

The. Think about it. look as if you're always

7:16

rust and life. Do. You have

7:18

wealth. I. Don't know. I

7:20

really don't know. I've been thinking about words

7:22

a lot lately and I've been thinking about

7:24

this word wealth. And I think true wealth

7:26

is what a lot of people have realized

7:28

it is. But so late in life. And.

7:31

That's that wealth is being on

7:34

rust. It's savoring time instead of

7:36

skimming past it jokes as one

7:38

of the do this episode to

7:41

remind myself frankly and you that

7:43

true wealth is found not in

7:46

the speed of a living, but

7:48

in the depths of experiencing. Choosing.

7:51

To go slow is choosing

7:53

to be rich and what

7:55

really matters which is slowness.

7:57

True wealth is time spent.

8:00

Not racing, it's time spent simply embracing.

8:02

i'm in other towns poetic, but I

8:04

kind of like to hit sound. It's

8:06

but truly like. Isn't that the point

8:08

of working hard? And. Of

8:10

making money to be able to choose what

8:12

you do with your time and life. Is.

8:15

Not the point. So. You you

8:17

can choose what you do but. The.

8:20

Again, if you're always a slave to

8:22

working more and always grinding and always

8:24

wanting more. And. Keep in mind

8:26

this is coming from a guy who's I'm a

8:28

hustle guy, I'm a Taipei guy. I'm Us. If

8:30

you want more work, more guys. By.

8:33

A cat com at a cost of the

8:35

choices we can make which is to be

8:37

on rushed. Choosing.

8:39

To be on rushed is to choose to

8:41

be rich in what really matters and that's

8:43

time. Times. And

8:45

you know thinking back to my it's like twenties

8:47

and I used to work it as ad agency

8:49

and there's this guy on my on a.a team

8:52

I used to work with at really like the

8:54

guy but at the time i remember that he

8:56

used to block his calendar am and used to

8:58

like at five o'clock on a calendar he'll put

9:01

a block on up for the rest of the

9:03

dates and as counter was public and we you

9:05

would use calendars to see who was available and

9:07

when we could schedule me to do and things

9:09

like that's so everyone could see his calendar and

9:12

you would have is bought and calendar every single

9:14

day. At five o'clock fighters or

9:16

to midnight and I with said and

9:18

it said. I'm. Not working as

9:20

is outside of my business hours like you

9:23

do this line and basically said don't talk

9:25

to me Tony, email me, don't slack me

9:27

after five o'clock and at the time I

9:29

remember I was like a senior account executive

9:32

or sales manager something like that and I'm

9:34

ever kind of being a bit judgmental of

9:36

this guy. like okay dude, wait a way

9:38

to kiss your career goodbye of his Gotta

9:41

be available twenty four seven if you if

9:43

you want to make it that are you

9:45

get promoted. That's how you make your money.

9:48

And now though, it's funny because. I'm

9:50

like man. In retrospect, he had it right. he

9:53

had it right the casting

9:55

aside practically whatever his career

9:57

aspirations we're like whatever deal

10:00

He had cut with his manager that allowed

10:02

him to literally clock out at five and

10:04

go off the grid. He

10:06

had it right. He was rich

10:08

in the thing that mattered, which is his

10:10

decision to be unrushed for a certain part

10:13

of his day. He made

10:15

the decision, again, perhaps at the cost of

10:17

some other things, but he made

10:19

the decision to be unrushed, to be

10:21

rich in the thing that he decided

10:23

at an early age, because he

10:25

was young, but that he decided

10:27

was most important to him, which was

10:30

slowness in time. He decided

10:32

that he could have a lot of things in his

10:34

life, a nice car, a nice salary, a nice watch,

10:36

whatever, but he decided to

10:38

own his time instead, to be

10:40

unrushed. And

10:43

I haven't stayed in touch with this guy, but

10:45

I'm pretty sure that's a decision he's not regretting

10:47

right now, 10 years later. He

10:50

might not have become the most wealthy, successful dude in

10:52

the world, I don't know, but

10:54

I do know he's wealthy in time,

10:57

totally unrushed slowness.

11:00

And he did that practically, where we're not living in

11:02

the land of La La Land, where it's just like

11:04

everything is unrushed. He did that in the context of

11:06

responsibilities. He did the things

11:08

required of him to survive. He worked, he

11:10

did his job, he collected a paycheck, he

11:12

was a good coworker, a nice guy, but

11:15

he made time to be wealthy in

11:18

his own way, to be unrushed. Hey,

11:21

real quick. This show is sponsored by

11:23

BetterHelp. And you know, having moved to

11:25

Miami about a year ago, I've become

11:27

very aware that I have a social

11:30

battery. Miami makes you realize

11:32

this, there's always something to do, potential

11:34

friends to make, and it's easy to

11:36

spread yourself thin. So for me, I've

11:38

been really striving for balance, a balance

11:40

of socializing and then recharging and

11:42

finding the right mix. And not just

11:44

that, but figuring out how to recharge. For

11:46

me, it changes. Sometimes I feel

11:49

recharged around friends. Sometimes I

11:51

definitely need to be alone. And thinking about

11:53

this subject, therapy can give you the self-awareness

11:55

to build a social life that doesn't drain

11:58

your battery. So if you're thinking of... starting

12:27

real quick, this episode is sponsored

12:30

by Hero Bread. And you know,

12:32

like you probably, I'm a big

12:34

fan of bread. I love a

12:36

good sandwich, PB&J, some toast, but

12:38

it usually feels guilty because of

12:41

the carb fear. But I'm grateful

12:43

for Hero Bread because they make

12:45

my same delicious favorites free of

12:47

consequences or compromises. They've remade carb-y,

12:50

empty calorie bread products into delicious

12:52

versions that include no net carbs,

12:54

zero grams of sugar and fewer

12:57

calories plus protein and fiber. And

12:59

they've got all shapes and sizes, bread

13:01

loaves, buns, tortillas, and they also have

13:03

monthly small batch drops of indulgent favorites

13:05

like two gram net carb hero croissant

13:08

or the one gram net carb hero

13:10

cheddar biscuit. They were kind of enough

13:12

to send me some loaves and tortillas

13:14

and I can attest to them being

13:17

the same soft, fluffy bread experience that

13:19

I crave. I've been making

13:21

some nice PB&Js, grilled cheese, even some

13:23

enchiladas with the help of my girlfriend.

13:25

So don't give up being a breadhead.

13:28

Hero Bread is offering 10% off

13:37

NEWMINDSET at HERO.C-O. And

13:42

now that I think about it, I kind of envy that. I

13:45

envy his decision. I certainly don't

13:47

regret in my twenties and thirties putting my

13:49

head down and grinding and doing

13:51

that stuff, but I wish

13:53

I had drawn a line at where

13:55

I decided to be unrushed. No negotiation.

13:58

Even now I'm always rushing. And

14:00

I'm making a decision now of saying I

14:02

want to be rich in time. I

14:05

want to be wealthy in time. I

14:07

want the luxury of being unrushed. And

14:10

so my focus now is that of

14:12

being as unrushed as I possibly can

14:14

be amidst everything I have

14:16

going on amidst my responsibilities and my

14:18

ambitions where I do indeed

14:20

need to need to haul ass, but

14:23

otherwise making a decision to be

14:25

unrushed because I really think that

14:28

word wealth, that is wealth. Wealth

14:30

is being unrushed. That is

14:32

deciding that slowness in life

14:35

enriches you in ways

14:37

that money or success or accolades

14:39

or followers or clout or whatever

14:41

cannot. Slowness

14:43

deepens our experiences in life. And isn't that the

14:45

point of life? To find a way

14:47

to go deep, to have gratitude

14:49

for the present, to find contentment in

14:52

what we have rather than

14:54

in some perpetual longing for more? Vertical

14:57

question because I think the answer is yes, yes. So

15:01

then in that sense, going slow,

15:03

intentionally being unrushed, it's

15:05

kind of rebellious, right? Social

15:08

pressure is always saying do more, do more, be more. So

15:12

by saying I am being

15:14

unrushed, it's a declaration that our value in

15:16

life does not diminish because we choose to

15:18

step out of the race, even

15:20

if it's just for a moment. It's acknowledging

15:22

for ourselves that how we choose to

15:24

spend our time is the most

15:27

defining aspect of our existence. And

15:29

I've also found ironically that the

15:32

irony is that by slowing down, we

15:35

achieve more. Not necessarily in

15:37

the tally of tasks that we complete,

15:39

but in the richness of our lives.

15:43

We discover the beauty and the

15:45

ordinary joy, simplicity, satisfaction of being

15:47

unrushed, and that is a flex,

15:50

right? And that is accomplishing more. It's being

15:52

unrushed. And I've also realized that the more

15:55

you slow down, the more time

15:57

you realize you have, it's weird. If

16:00

you spend just 10 minutes being

16:02

unrushed, intentionally being slow, you'll

16:05

realize how long 60 seconds is and how

16:07

much you get out of it. And

16:10

it makes you realize that going slow is

16:12

powerful. It's you deciding that

16:14

you are making a choice. You're

16:16

not having a choice decided for you. You're

16:19

not blindly following a path or anything

16:21

like that. It's power because it's your

16:23

choice to dictate how your story unfolds.

16:26

It's your choice to appreciate moments for what

16:28

they are. Invaluable, irreplaceable.

16:30

To go slow is to honor

16:33

your journey. I know that's a

16:35

cliche, but what more

16:37

beautiful thing is there in life than

16:40

to recognize the path that you choose,

16:43

that you're present in, very present and

16:46

actually present in? So think about your

16:48

relationship with time. Do you

16:50

own your time? Or are you always

16:52

on loan and rushing from one thing to the

16:54

next? Are you truly living or just

16:57

existing in this perpetual state of

17:00

anticipation? I think the

17:02

choice to be unrushed, to embrace the

17:04

slowness of life, that is

17:06

wealth. It's a decision to

17:08

live deeply, to cherish

17:10

our experiences. And

17:12

it's so easy to forget this. It's so easy

17:14

to forget the value of a single moment because

17:16

we think the more successful we are, the

17:19

quicker we'll get to a stage in our life where

17:21

we can finally slow down. And

17:23

I think that's setting ourselves up for regret. We're

17:26

constantly bombarded with the message that more is

17:28

better, more money, more success,

17:30

more possessions. But

17:32

I think in that endless pursuit

17:34

of more, we overlook the value

17:36

of time. The simple

17:38

act of being present, of

17:41

going slow, being in the here and now.

17:43

That is a form of wealth that
