They stress the importance of adaptability and flexibility, especially in challenging conditions, and suggest that everyone’s approach to survival and preparedness will be unique based on their circumstances.

World War 3 update. Things are heating up across the map. You probably heard for the first time in a long time on mainstream media that Kiev got lit up over the weekend. And now we have an evacuation order, a first of its kind, from the Russian Foreign Ministry to all foreign diplomats and citizens to evacuate the city of Kiev, because it’s about to get spicy. We also have an altercation that just unfolded and this is now confirmed. The US Air Force fired upon multiple Iranian gunboats, killing several servicemen who they allege were laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

All of this happened in the last 24 hours. Now you have to ask yourself, I know the information coming out this weekend has been largely contradictory. Is there a deal? Is there not a deal? Are we closer? Are we further? Are we 99% of the way there? 99.9% of the way there? One thing is for certain. If we were in fact getting close to a deal, why the hell would be the IRGC be mining the Straits of Hormuz? Even if that is not true and the United States is making such an allegation, why would you make such an allegation? If your whole narrative was that we were getting closer to a deal, wouldn’t the IRGC putting mines that are just going to have to be removed in a few days into the Strait, wouldn’t that negate your entire narrative that progress is being made on the talk? So these things do not add up whatsoever.

There still seems to be a lot of sticking points on the nuclear issue in terms of how the Strait is going to be administered. They’re calling it an environmental fee, a toll, whatever sort of euphemistic legalese they can use to skirt around calling it basically what it is, I suppose, an extortion racket in the Strait of Hormuz? Now, you can say that it’s their right to try to extract resources and that this is just asymmetrical hybrid warfare, fifth dimensional warfare at its finest. You could very well make that argument for, for the Iranians, because of course, they were the ones who were unilaterally, illegally aggressed upon by the United States in Israel.

But those things just do not app. They would not be mining the Strait if we were actually getting close to a deal. Unless these were rogue elements of the IRGC who do not represent the views of the actual negotiating team. Remember, we still haven’t seen the Ayatollah. And I cannot imagine a world where a leader of a country like that is ever going to trust the United States again when they killed his father and he’s still not poking his head out. So we’re going to talk about that in just a moment. I want to talk about what’s going on in Eastern Europe first.

I told you last week that the reason why Vladimir Putin went to meet with Xi Jinping, I thought was because he wanted Xi Jinping’s blessing and in order to escalate the conflict. You see, these strikes on Russia’s oil and gas ports infrastructure have had serious deleterious effects on their economy. Whether the Russians want to admit it or not. They’ve been selling gold, okay? That’s how desperate it has gotten. And the fact that they’re now getting ready to bomb the shit out of Kiev, and this is not due to the bombing of a dormitory in which I believe over a dozen young Russian citizens, civilians, were attacked by a Kiev triple tap recently, just last week, I believe that happened.

And so that is the casus belli that Russia is claiming here. They’re saying that the reason why they’re now attacking the Iranian or, sorry, the Ukrainian administrative and military facilities is because of that event alone. I gotta call bullshit on that. There’s been a lot of Russian civilians that have died up until this point. And in fact, what I think happened is that the Ukrainians were fed bad intelligence, quite possibly, and this is speculation, I don’t see why the Ukrainians would target a Russian university, a soft target like that, unless they had pretty compelling intelligence that there was going to be a target there.

Unless the goal was to actively provoke the Russians into such a response and essentially give them a, I don’t want to say 9, 11, because it’s not on that level, but you know, give them a false flag like eventually in order to justify further military involvement and mobilization. Because Moscow is heavily insulated from the effects of this conflict. And that is by design. Both of the major cities, St. Petersburg and Moscow, are largely insulated from the effects. And so this is why they can script from the countryside. Yes, there’s volunteers that no doubt come from those places.

But by and large, with the exception of all the air defense and the military and the reserves that have been mobilized to police the streets and do anti drone defense, they, they try to pretend as though the war is not happening. And now that this has happened, this has actually given Putin a license to escalate. Okay, and so here we go. We are seeing for the first time Russia warning all foreign diplomats to get the hell out. This is new. This is new. This means no more coming in on trains and doing Publicity stunts, and no more Bono, you know, or what’s her face, Greta, you know, coming to shake Zelensky’s hand or Sean Penn or, you know, whoever else, that.

Those days are over. They’re saying that you need to get the hell out. Because they’re preparing systemic strikes on the defense industry, the government, military facilities, all of the administrative facilities, possibly even the European or the Ukrainian parliament building. And we are seeing escalation all over the Eastern front. And this is why Putin had to coordinate with Xi Jinping, because whatever the retaliation is for this, both sides had to be ready. And so I see that meeting with Vladimir Putin, and I said this many times. I said, part of the reason why he’s going there is.

Is because their economy cannot sustain the level of attrition and the attacks against their oil and gas facilities, and they had to do something about it. And lo and behold, on the same week that he has that meeting, we just so happen to have this event unfold where a soft target is struck. I’m sure there’s probably some Russian intelligence assets feeding Ukraine bad intel that there were, you know, officers holed up there or something. I can imagine something like. Because again, unless Ukraine wants Russia to attack them to thereby justify more NATO involvement, which is possible, too, okay? Because this is the first time most people even heard.

Most people probably forgot there was a war going on. The mainstream media didn’t talk about it so much. Even Mark Carney came out to condemned the Erezhnyk strikes in Kiev over the weekend, which are another major first unto itself. So perhaps this is the response that they were looking for, okay? So that they could, you know, revive the persecution complex. Look at what’s happening to us. We didn’t do anything, Right? Because nobody is talking about in Western media the fact that there was a half a dozen young university students that were killed in a. A very intentional Ukrainian strike.

And this is why. It wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t a drone that went one place. No, this was a triple tap, okay? So this was very intentional. And I would not put it past the Russians and the Kremlin to concoct something like this. I don’t put anything past either side, especially if you’re talking about the noble lie and doing things for the greater good. And that whole Stalinesque communistic mentality that I’m sure still has its appendices in the deepest crevasses of the Politburo inside Russia in terms of their thinking that they would do something like this if it gave them License to minimize suffering on a broader scale, if you know what I mean.

So the ends justify the means, so to speak. So we now have Russian mobilization signals, and this has been something that’s been talked about for the last few months, but it appears as though military offices are reportedly issuing data clarification notices which can function as pre mobilization groundwork. One Russian military committee source allegedly described it as preparation before and out of state mobilization. So the Russians are actively trying to reconstitute their military in anticipation of a flare up in hostilities with Europe. Because today, for the first time, I think it was the first time a drone actually made its way into Kaliningrad in a, in an intentional attack on Kaliningrad from Ukraine.

Presumably. For all we know, it could have came from Belarus, we don’t really know. Or it could have been, you know, electronic warfare, or could have been a false flag, you know, we don’t know. But either way, that means it would have had to pass over the Baltic states in the Suwalki Gap, the Suwalki corridor, which is around a 20 kilometer corridor that separates Belarus, I think it’s 20 kilometers, that could be, it could be a little longer than that from the exclave of Kaliningrad. And so between the accusations that the Ukrainians are using Baltic airspace to fly their drones, this attack on Kaliningrad, the Belarusian and Russian joint tactical and strategic nuclear drills, the accusations that the Belarusians were about to join in the war, the counter accusations from the Belarusians that, no, this is actually a preemption of Ukraine to create the conditions so that they can launch an attack on Belarus.

Either way, we’re in a reciprocal escalation trap on multiple fronts. And when the Russians do lay Kiev’s administrative and military buildings to waste, you’re going to see it. And I think the Ukrainians are going to be happy to show that footage because again, this is going to feed the, the victim complex and it’s going to likely persuade NATO, even though Ukraine is de facto NATO, to broaden their support for the war. As I said, Ukraine is the most essential country in NATO, more essential than the Baltics. Right up there with the UK and France and the ones that have the military.

And then you have the German economic base and the industrial base. They are arguably the most important country, not just for their resource wealth, 80% of it, which happens to be in the hands of the Russians in the Donbass, which is why they wanted the Donbass in the first place. If you believe the Russian narrative that the reason why the war started was that the Russians were preempting a planned attack by the west to take over the Donbass and all of the resource wealth in that country. Because Europe needs resources. Ukraine has more resource wealth than all of Western Europe combined.

Okay, but most of that happens to be in the Donbass. If the Russians are able to retain that, retain Belarus and retain all of their own natural resource wealth, we’re talking 100 trillion. I mean, I don’t know if you put dollar values on, on something so hypothetical, but 100 trillion in natural resource wealth that the Europeans would be entirely beholden to Russian controlled raw materials and natural resources. And that would put them in a very shitty bargaining position. So no, Ukraine is more than de facto NATO. Ukraine is NATO incarnate through and through. And the sooner people realize that, and the sooner people realize the reason why the Russians forestalled the attacks on Kiev for so long is because he knows Putin, that attacking Kiev is attacking NATO.

You might as well attack Brussels. And I know that’s going to seem crazy to people because everybody’s been hypnotized by this international legalese about Article 5, which is ambiguously worded anyways, that they don’t have to come to the aid of countries even if they are attacked. Article 5 doesn’t matter. They’re going to come to Ukraine’s aid because if Kiev falls, they’re going to send troops in. I mean, they’ve been talking about send, they already have troops. Sheep dip. But in terms of explicitly declaring that NATO troops are in Ukraine, they absolutely will do it. There’s a reason why Vladimir Putin has been reluctant to target Kiev all this time.

But now the gloves are off. Okay, the, the Russians and the Chinese just seen what they think is because we don’t know if it’s not over yet in the Strait of Hormuz and the Iran situation. But in their minds, and Russia has good intelligence, that was the high watermark of the US Empire and that that was the extent of the United States military preeminence. And now it’s going to roll back. And so if that was the best we had, if that was the best we could do was to blow up a bunch of shit and then threaten to do a bunch of war crimes and put the people in the Stone Age who you claim to be saving, if that’s the best we could muster, then oh boy, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are probably just thinking themselves, let’s go.

Because that’s all they got. Now I’m not saying that’s Necessarily all they got. I know that once the US mobilizes for war, all they need is a event like the Russians just experienced and that’s it, it’s game over. All of these people on the fence who’ve been deeply indoctrinated with anti Iranian views, many people don’t even realize it, but just all the movies you watched as a kid, all of the non stop lies that are told over and over again, deeply inculcate this hatred towards the Iranian people in the minds of the masses. And eventually that dormant hate is going to be leveraged and weaponized for war.

And we’re just one false flag attack away from that being harnessed at any given time. And that’s when you do see the US truly mobilizing for war. Look, all of those administrative procedures that they’re streamlining in order to enact a military draft, that’s all going to be used now. They might defer the recommencement of hostilities now until post election and this glorified ceasefire that they’re trying to broker for another two months might just continue to be deferred for months and months until they can lock in the election or they can see where the chips fall at the election, if they even care about winning the election.

Because at the end of the day the, there’s as many Democrats on the fence about Iran and it really, a lot of these are weather vane fence sitters. And so if we do have some false flag event that unfolds, you know it’s going to be, you’re going to get your 2/3, you know, support for a war in Iran. And of course, even if this moratorium on, or this law that prohibits Trump from waging war after a 60 day period, they still need a 2 3rd majority, which they’re not going to get. They can barely get, you know, 51, 49.

So, and even in the House I’m sure it will probably even be worse. But of course people change their positions all the time. So anyways, you don’t just kill the Ayatollah and think that things are going to work out. It’s just that guy still hasn’t presented himself in public. Although what you’re seeing now is a lot of Iranian officials are now presenting themselves in public. And I would say this is probably a big mistake. They’re even talking about the President today said that they’re going to be turning on the Internet. If I was the Iranians, I might say that I was going to do that and I might create the illusion that I trusted the process, whilst not actually executing, in order to convince the enemy that we’re being lulled into a sense of complacency, although we’re maintaining the same level of vigilance.

I mean, if you’re in a situation, I mean, there are people who genuinely believe that they’re about to broker a deal, and the leader of the other country has not been seen since the war began and he’s still in hiding. And you think you’re going to have an enduring deal in those situations where the leader itself is, is not even presenting himself. It’s just, it’s laughable. Okay? It, it’s just not gonna happen. Now they’re saying that they’re laying minds in the strait of her moves. It’s supposed to be open by Tuesday. Come on. It’s. It’s just a circus.

Okay, so, yeah, more recently. I’m gonna go back to Russia in just a moment. I’m kind of bouncing around here. Trump just posted that Iran’s enriched uranium, which he calls nuclear dust, must either be immediately turned over to the United States for destruction or destroyed in place by the iaea. Iaea? International Atomic Energy Agency. Now, I don’t know how you destroy that stuff without causing a radiological incident, but I know you can dilute it. So is he alluding to the fact that now he’s open to the Iranians diluting their nuclear material? Something which was supposed to be brokered and agreed upon by the original Omani foreign minister who tried to mediate the war before it started.

The same conditions. Okay, so the US Is hanging around there for a reason. And I think there’s an ulterior motive here, and it’s counterintuitive, but it’s to keep the price of oil high. Because when you think about it, oil over 90. Now, if you’re going to be committing to all of these projects that are going to require immense amounts of capital expenditure, you can’t do that at $60 oil. If you want to become the global energy monopoly like the United States does, and almost is, for that matter, well, there has to be a certain economic viability to it, and it just isn’t there at $60 a barrel.

Everybody says the Greater Israel project as if the tail’s wagging the dog. I don’t. I think that’s a side mission. That eschatological, you know, wall kissing zealotry. I just think that is a side mission. A convenient skateboard. The billions of dollars that are being made matters, at the end of the day, none of these people in the upper echelons at least. Okay, you can maybe make the argument that there’s some Alistair Crowley esque secret religious component to this, maybe on some level. But look, 99% of people, what they care about is money. Where’s the money being made? The, the $500 billion added to the US military budget, which largely can be attributed to the events that are unfolding in the Middle East.

The billions of dollars and I mean like double the prices. The money that they’re making on oil being so high right now, the oil barons is just a staggering amount and pills in comparison to whatever sort of bullshit Israel wants to do by building little villages and, you know, putting settlers. Nobody gives a shit. Nobody in power with a lot of money and, you know, a lot of influence really gives two shit about some religious fanatics expelling and dislocating Palestinians from their homes. Like, it’s just stupid. It’s a scapegoat, clearly. Tucker Carlson, Joe Kent, I’m gonna just explicitly say this.

I think whether they know it or not, they’re a part of a psyop which is priming the population for the next rung of the populist ladder. And you’re already starting to see this. They’re priming Tulsi Gabbard, J.D. vance. They’re trying to create this illusion that they’re outside of the Trump administration and that they’re being ostracized and all of these things. And I’m telling you, that’s exactly what’s. And people are gonna fall for it again because unfortunately the masses are very incipient and they’re credulous when it comes to politics because oftentimes it’s driven by fear of the other side.

And I’m not saying the Democrats are gonna be any better. No, I mean, if the Democrats were to get in right now and we went back to everybody save Ukraine. Yeah. I mean, we could get to using nuclear weapons sooner than that. So I think that 90 is the new 60 when it comes to oil, because in order to drill for a lot of this stuff, it takes huge investment. And you’re not going to drill if you know the price is going to crash, like Trump is saying. So, you know, there’s a market reality that has to be realized at some point.

Okay. Israel today, Netanyahu came out on camera and explicitly stated that they’re going to expand their operations inside Lebanon. So if that indeed is part of the deal, which I don’t necessarily think that’s going to be make or break for the Iranians. They may say that, but we’ve seen Lebanon get the shit kicked out of it for years in Iran does nothing. Now I’m not saying that they, they don’t necessarily support them by proxy and I could be mistaken about this. In fact it was a sticking point in the previous negotiations. But you know, I just can’t see them because I’ve also heard the, the argument made by members of the IRGC that Hezbollah, you know, can take care of themselves and they’ll let us know when they need help, if they need help.

So you hear that argument floated around. I just can’t see the global economy being held up because of the sticking point of Hezbollah and Lebanon. If it means the final dismantling of the axis of resistance, I think the Iranians probably would be able to stomach that. Not officially, not publicly of course, but maybe they’ll just keep tight lipped about that reality. Israel’s home front command is also tightening defensive guidelines, reducing the allowed gatherings from 200 to 50 indoors and 600 to 200 outdoors, signaling that they may well expect a recommencement of hostilities in the near future.

Iran is claiming to restore Internet very soon, although again that could just be a signal, a misdirection towards the United States that they are becoming more complacent when they in fact are. However, we are still seeing many high ranking Iranian military officials present themselves in public. And if you go by the theory that the United States is just looking for a kill shot and they’re doing all of this to try to smoke the Iranians out of their holes and bring them into a state of complacency so that they can do another decapitation strike attempt which appears to be the only reason asides the China hypothesis.

I don’t know why you would continue in this war if there was nothing fundamentally to gain. Because even if you take out the Ayatollah, there’s no guarantee that that’s going to lead to regime change either. Right? There has been multiple fires reported on Kharg Island. That is according to NASA firm satellite data which detects heat signatures from space. Don’t really know what that’s about. Is it some sort of controlled burn? You know, I mean it could be. If they’re actually running short on oil they might be doing some controlled burns just to keep the wells flowing.

So that’s a possibility. What else do we have to talk about today? So I just want to share this write up from fighter bomber which is a Russian telegram channel very Closely tied to the government, not the Foreign Ministry, although the foreign Minister, both Maria Zakarva and what’s his face, Sergey Lavrov, came out today and called Marco Rubio and said, you got to get your people out of Kiev because we’re about to bomb the out of it. Not in those terms obviously, but according to fighter bomber. Here’s what they claim and this is a very reputable insofar as the intel they provide is usually reflective of what’s about to happen.

Russian military forces are launching systematic strikes on military enterprises in Kiev. Russia recommends that foreigners leave Kiev as soon as possible. This in itself is going to create a massive evacuation. I’m not sure if we’re going to be able to see it because of course you’re not allowed to share video from Ukraine. So we won’t know the extent of the egress from that metropolis unless we get some footage that gets leaked. And its residents should not approach military or administrative infrastructural facilities. The strike on Star Oblisk has pushed the patience to the limit. Russian strikes on Kiev will be carried out at the sites of design, production and preparation for the use of Ukrainian drones.

Maybe they caught wind that they’re building these things there, but according to Dmitry Medvedev, they’re being built at dozens of facilities across Europe. And so this could easily spill over from the Belarus, Kaliningrad, Baltic. That whole axis could explode at the same time. And as well as all decision making centers and command posts now remember, Ukraine has Cold war era bunkers that are as deep as the Iranian underground missile system. Cities, hundred meters deep, okay, Built to withstand nuclear war. And so the idea that they’re going to be able to successfully target decision makers, they’re going to be able to cause a bunch of destruction, there’s no doubt about that.

But in terms of actually taking out Zelensky, I don’t think so. I don’t think it’s possible. Even with nukes. Arguably it’s not possible. Anyways, he goes on to say, so we’re going to destroy Kiev. Those are the words they use. Perhaps a tad hyperbolic, but again, irreputable account. We’re going to destroy Kiev. That place where the nightclubs are still open and the girls are still doing spin on high rise buildings, on the tops of high rise buildings. Whatever the reason for this, it’s something new. In theory, it should take a month to make Kiev uninhabitable. It sounds great.

Now we just need to make sure the words match the actions. Okay, so he’s saying it sounds great. That’s not the perspective of this channel, although I’m surprised it’s taken this long to get to this point. Over the weekend, Donald Trump tweeted everything a president could possibly tweet along the entire spectrum of diplomacy, from very passive language of rapprochement to the most bellicose intimidation that you can imagine. Dropping pictures of what looked like, I mean, you could construe it to be some sort of nuclear bomb, saying, thank you for your attention to this matter. To what else did he post? I mean, there was posts of his, some of his officials posting, you know, stealth bomber imagery.

And I’m sure there, there was dozens of posts over the weekend, just endless stream of shitposting all weekend. And so it’s really, it’s in terms of how close we are to the next round of escalation, nobody knows. But I would bet the house that the entire house and some I would, you know, take out leverage and I would get levered up to place the bet that this thing is, is going to escalate. It’s just a matter of when. Is it now? Is it a week from now? Is it after the elections? Is it right before the 2028 elections? So they don’t have to have an election.

It’s going to heat up because you, you don’t just have this dormant mistrust, because what happens is you get that reciprocal escalation trap whereby the Iranians, because they mistrust, and they’re never going to be so naive again to trust the United States. No matter how long this goes on, they’re going to invest everything they can. Every cent of that money that gets unfrozen is going to go probably into weapons manufacturing. And you can’t blame them for that, right? Because their country was attacked, of course they’re going to up their military spend. And the longer they go on because they’re a defender, time is on their side.

Time is not on the US side. If it is true, if you believe that it still applies that whole military methodology that three to one in terms of defenders to offenders, it takes three times the amount of forces and ordinance in order to go on the offensive as it does to defend, then time is always in the interests of the defender. Presuming that both sides are at somewhat parity in terms of their industrial base. Now, one could make the argument that with a population of 350 million, unlimited natural resources separated by two oceans, the United States could mobilize on a scale that a lot of the critics would be surprised by and when it happens, when you know, the Rosie the Riveter moment comes again, it is going to be a full scale war mobilization and re industrialization.

And so all these people who say, oh, we can only make, you know, so many tomahawks and it look, necessity is the mother of all invention. That shit goes out the window. When you start getting executive orders to do shit, then shit’s gonna get done. Right now there’s just not the motivation to do it. Okay, so I think that’s it for today. I’m gonna let you guys go. I got stuff to do. We’re building a new chicken coop and I know it’s not as exciting as some of this World War III update stuff, but we’re going to share the process with you and show you what we’ve been doing in order to maximize our egg supply.

Because eggs is the ultimate superfood really. Has the highest biological value, has proteins, has fats, is everything a person needs to survive, I think. Yeah, but we still want to get cows too. We want to, want to get into bigger livestock. We just don’t want to be bound to a place, you know, because that’s the problem. You want to live life too and you need somebody who can look after a farm if you want to have a life and have one foot in the door of self sufficiency, so to speak. So you know, we’ll talk a little bit about that and other things.

Have a lot of other videos that I’ve just yet to release do with preparedness and different ideas for prepping and things to watch out for in the preparedness community. Again, if you want to support the channel, go check out freeze dry wholesale foods, okay. Go down to your local wholesale food store. Be it here. It’s what do they call it, the Great Canadian wholesale. Go down there, get your bulk staples and then you go to freeze dry wholesale if you’re in the United States and pick up some freeze dried meats. They have hundreds of varieties. The highest quality stuff lasts 25 to 30 years.

Don’t forget your medication through Jace Medical. Every year I utilize my, I think it’s every six months. So I actually buy. They don’t send it to me, they send me some stuff to review. But any, every time that I’m able to buy more antibiotics, I buy more. So just because that’s going to be worth more than gold if shit ever hits the fan because that’s going to kill people the fastest is disease. And I forgot to talk about the Ebola thing, but people are still trying to break out their relatives. Not trying. They’re being successful in breaking their relatives out of these hospitals, setting hospitals on fire.

I mean, the problem with global economic austerity is had the Ebola thing unfolded in a world where there wasn’t this energy crunch and there wasn’t wars going on, it probably would be more readily mitigated. But because you layer on all these other things that are happening, it makes the likelihood of a massive outbreak of a real deadly pathogen all the more plausible. So, you know, stock up on your medication, stock up on your Tamiflu. You can buy that from there. I’m not sure that’s not going to help you with Ebola. The only thing that’s going to help you is to get the hell out of the city, right? And so try to do that to the best of your ability.

But you know what? Everybody’s different. And so if you can’t just run out into the woods just yet, don’t worry, okay? You got to start where you’re at. And there’s a lot of zealots in preparedness and survival who will say, you got to do things this way and only this way because they have a certain set of skills, and they project that onto everybody else. But you’re. You have your own vocational capabilities. You have your own physical limitations. You have your age. You have your own responsibilities and commitments and, you know, job responsibility and just, you know, the list goes on in terms of how unique everybody’s situation is.

So start where you’re at and don’t compare yourself to me, who I was right there filling a closet up with food, you know, back in the day. So, you know, I came from nothing, and I understand what it’s like to have absolutely nothing, to live in abject poverty. I get that vibe. And so you got to just, you know, also embrace the fact that people like that are very adaptable and very flexible. And that’s one thing that I try to instill into my children, is creating difficult, challenging conditions that will force them to be adaptable, because where poor kids have it made.

And, you know, I’m kind of giving you some of the gems from my upcoming video. My son, he asked me because he’s in mixed martial arts. He’s jiu jitsu, karate, kickboxing. And we always talk about motivation and being hungry. And we’re talking about Mike Tyson. He’s reading Mike Tyson’s biography, and he said, dad, you know, I don’t have, you know, I don’t have this major pain in my childhood, like Mike Tyson did, to motivate him, you know, to just be this warrior, right? Just use that, that energy and all of that trauma that you experience. And so we’re getting in a conversation about is trauma required for greatness on some level.

And it’s great that he realizes the power of that. You know, it’s great that people realize that true greatness, whether it’s in sports business. Most of these people really do. I mean, there’s some silver spoon fed people out there, no doubt some of them are running countries. But the real geniuses and the greats, they come from really shitty conditions. And without fertilizer, nothing grows okay? And that’s what shit is, it’s fertilizer. So I try to encourage hard times for my kids because I know that’s going to make them, at the end of the day that adaptability and flexibility is so important.

So if you find yourself in a predicament where you don’t have the resources to just go out and buy everything you need, that’s fine. You have, you’re not stricken with functional fixedness. You’re able to look at a situation and, and your default status is okay, what sort of concessions do I have to make? You know, it’s not that, you know, you just have it made. You can snap your fingers and resolve the situation right away. There’s a, there’s a high value to that. And especially if the lights go out, those types of people who are just as their default mode are in that mode of being adaptable and flexible and not just expecting, you know, the world to just be their oyster, well, they’re going to be right at home.

And the people who have it made and who have all these systems in place and are trying to control everything, you know, we’re going to have it tough. And so thankfully I came from the street and then I move my way into the forest. So I kind of remember, I remember how hard it was and so just embrace the suck, as they say. Thanks for watching, guys.
