I don't diet. It's a distraction. My rule is simple. Don't eat when you're not hungry. But that's not always easy. Nothing is always easy. With diet, you have an internal argument. Willpower versus cravings. So what do you do when the voice in your head won't stop? You struggle. Your mind plays ping pong. Eat it. Don't it. One bite. No. Yes. Ok. Damn it. Only one side wins. Willpower or cravings. I'm going to tell you how to make willpower win. How to make that voice go away. And this will do a lot more for you than just help you lose weight. It will give you better brain function. Make you pay attention better. Give you more energy. You'll feel better. I'll tell you my secret. But before I do, I want to introduce you to a Silicon Valley investor and tech entrepreneur, Dave Asprey, who spent two decades and more than $300,000 hacking biology. When hunger stops interrupting you, "then you have more capacity to make better decisions somewhere else in your life," Dave says. He hacked hunger. And now he's sharing his solution in Bulletproof: The Cookbook: Lose Up to a Pound a Day, Increase Your Energy, and End Food Cravings for Good. Which I'm giving away for free here It works like this. But don't quote me. I'm not a doctor. Except I do play one on Twitter. When your body burns fat or sugar, you get energy. But "We're wired to only burn fat or only burn sugar," Dave says. One or the other. If your body could burn both at the same time, you'd get double the energy. Or triple. I don't know exactly how much. But I felt like Superman. I wrote an entire book in one weekend. And Superman felt like Superman, too. Brandon Routh, the guy who played Superman in 2006 wrote the foreword to Dave's book. Because it works. But we're all different. What works for me might not work for you. For me, the distraction is gone. The voice that says, "I'm hungry," stops. So you don't overeat. Your satisfied. And focused. "One of the three big urges that interrupt you all the time stops interrupting you," Dave says, "and then you have more capacity to make better decisions somewhere else in your life." You have more energy to do what you love. To read, write 10 ideas, start a business on the side. "I would happily weight 20 lbs more if I got better brain function, if I could pay attention better if I had more energy, if I felt better, but it turns out that when you eat to get enough energy into the body, you just effortlessly lose weight without willpower," Dave says. Get your brain back, your willpower and insane amounts of energy. Be like superman. Listen now.

He self-medicated. He covered stories in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. He went to Iraq six or seven times. When he got back, he was depressed. He was 32 years old and had never touched hard drugs before. But it became the thing that made him feel better. Millions of people were watching. The red light was on. And right there, in the middle of his live segment, he had a panic attack. I'm going to tell you how to deal with stress. I'll tell you what works for me. But first, I want to tell you about my guest, Dan Harris. Dan is an anchor on "Good Morning America" and "Nightline."  He's also the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works - A True Story. After the book came out people had questions. So he also created an app called "10% Happier." It teaches users easy "judo moves" to have more creativity, feel less stress, and be happier.  It helps you surrender. Be self-aware. Focused. "The events that led up to my panic attack were a case study in mindlessness," Dan says. "Going to wars without thinking about the consequences, getting depressed and not knowing it and blindly self-medicating." I wanted to know what pushed him over the edge. "The one-word answer is cocaine," Dan says. "The more complicated answer is I arrived at ABC News when I was 28." He was insecure. He worked with big names like Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters. He wanted to be successful. "My Jewish father has this expression, 'The price of security is insecurity.' I really embraced that," he says. The pressure never let up. He demanded more of himself. But why do we make it so hard for ourselves? Many people have gone through this slow-motion panic attack. Including me. It's the stress of daily living.  Something bad happens to you. You lose a job or get a divorce. Everyday wear and tear picks at you. Stress happens over time. And if you don't notice it, it builds. The voice in your head becomes meaner. Angrier. More resentful and regretful. Energy is wasted. Your creativity dies. Your idea muscle atrophies. And you're at the bottom of the funnel dreaming about retirement. But instead of imagining a better life later, retire. You can retire a little bit every day. Breathe. Feel your chest fall. That's retirement. It's a fantasy. I'm going to tell you how to make it real right now. But before I do, let me tell you what you'll get from today's podcast: a) Learn How to Have More Ideas Dan says, "When you ask, 'What is boredom like? What does this feel like? Where am I feeling it in my body? What's the taste of it in my mind?' That is curiosity." Curiosity produces creativity. And ideas. You'll learn how to make room for curiosity. b) Distance Yourself From Stress Dan teaches you how to notice stress and see your problems clearly. You'll learn to separate yourself from it. And relax. Essentially, you're becoming a scientist of your own inner reactions. A scientist is not his experiment. The same way humans are not their reactions and emotions to things. Those are separate. You'll learn how to separate yourself from stress.c) Be 10% Happier "First of all, 10% is just a joke. You can't quantify happiness," Dan says. "I came up with that as a bullshit answer to a friend." But being a little bit happier is better than being a little bit miserable. But you have to practice. You're practicing becoming aware of the angry voice that comes up and reacts. So you can be calm. Ok, now here's Dan's secret to dealing with stress: meditation "Let me just say outright, because as soon as you bring that word up, some high percentage of your listeners are like, 'All right, I'm done with this podcast. Meditation's bullshit. I don't want to do it,'" Dan says. He thought that too. "The book is really the story of me coming to terms with...

"I remember it like it was yesterday. It was Good Friday, 1989, at 3:30 in the afternoon. It was 37 degrees outside. I stood outside the Colosseum Mall, a mall in Jamaica, Queens. It's pretty popular. Just shivering with a bag of hats. I sold $800 worth of hats in an hour," Daymond John tells me. $800 an hour. That's "the power of broke." Before FUBU (a $6 billion global apparel company), before Shark Tank, and before Obama chose him as the Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship, Daymond John worked 18-hour days driving a delivery van. And he wasn't making money. His paychecks covered overhead - the cost of his van, gas, and maintenance. He worked to make money, and he made money to work. "When I took that to FUBU, I started saying, 'If we're not making money, it's not worth doing anything,'" he says. It's not failure. It's experience. "Other people call it failure. I won't call it failure. It's part of the process," he says. You need to take every single "failure" and bring it forward. You're on the floor. And broke. Learn from it. Money is the byproduct of energy, effort, and strategy. "Before you have any business, you're supposed to take inventory of yourself," Daymond says. "Assets and liabilities can be time, energy, education, friends, location, way of thinking." You have to take inventory of yourself. His new book, The Power of Broke: How Empty Pockets, a Tight Budget, and a Hunger for Success Can Become Your Greatest Competitive Advantage is not Daymond's story. It's your story. And mine. It's about how you're going to get up, get experience, and get money. These are stories I learned from. The power of broke is "the common thread between all of us," Daymond says. It's about how you can learn from your mistakes and profit off your potential. Take advantage of that. Listen to my interview with Daymond. Here are the top 3 things you can only learn by listening to today's podcast: - "That is the most important thing about running a business," Daymond says. "If you don't have that, I don't care how much money you have. You can't buy your way into it." (at 5:35) - I ask Daymond: What are the first steps? What if you're listening and saying, "I got born at the wrong time," or "I'm in the wrong town"? What if you're hungry? And you want to hustle, and you've got the power of broke, but you don't know what to do with it? (at 21:59) - How do you know when a business will be successful? Because it sounds too romantic - the power of broke. Find out how to leverage your resources for success. (at 32:51) Listen now.

I was always good at making money. I was also good at losing it instantly. I always went broke... Now I know why. What was I was doing wrong? I'll tell you. Because I bet you're making the same mistake. But first, I'll tell you how to make money. More money than you thought was possible. Listen to this episode. You'll hear tested and proven strategies to get rich from Ramit Sethi, the NewYork Times bestselling author and founder of iwillteachyoutoberich.com. He grew his business from a dorm-room blog into a multi-million dollar online business. And now he started a new company, GrowthLab, to teach you how to do the same thing-start and grow an online business. Ramit is a trainer. He'll make you hustle. "It's like looking up at a skyscraper and saying 'How am I going to build one of those?' Well you're not. You're going to start by walking in the lobby," Ramit says, "That's what you're going to do on day one." You can't get rich without putting in the work. I've set goals. None of them came true. But five or six other amazing things that I never could have predicted happened instead. Goals require plans. You're going to get rich. How? You want to lose weight or start a business. How? Ramit will tell you. He'll turn your goals into achievements. Actually, you'll do it, with his help. Consider taking his courses... One teaches you how to triple your salary. Which is like heroin. According to one of my other podcast guests, Nassim Taleb. Taleb said the three deadliest addictions are 1) heroin, I don't remember the second one, and 3) a steady salary. How can you feel motivated when you're prostituting yourself everyday? What did I learn from Ramit? It's less about what I learned, and more about what I feel capable of doing every time I listen to him. Fear is a debilitating idea. Replace fear with motivation. You'll be amazed at the results. I need motivation to eat well, write everyday, do the daily practice. And I start over everyday. Because motivation isn't as constant as your to-do list. But with Ramit's plan, you'll get systems in place. Systems that manage your money and organize your time, and take care of all the things draining you dry. "If you're going to put in work, why not be positive, try to improve yourself, improve your relationship, make more money," Ramit says. I haven't taken his courses. But strangers email me saying they're great. That they've tripled their income. I don't know why they tell me that. I get a lot of strange emails from strangers. Skip to 40:12 on my podcast. You'll laugh. Trust me. You shouldn't go a day without laughing anyway. I'm going to tell you why I went broke. You'll hear it in this episode. And you'll learn how to clean up your life. You'll get systems... you'll get a plan. And, thanks to Ramit, you'll learn how to be rich. Listen now.

For billionaires, every exchange has a winner and a loser. That's what producers David Levien and Brian Koppelman tell me. They've made some of my favorite movies: Rounders, Ocean's Thirteen, Solitary Man. Now, they're coming out with 2016's most talked about show: Billions on Showtime. You can learn a lot from them. David and Brian are producers, creators and risk takers. If you want to create, listen to today's episode. You'll see how important it is to follow your curiosity. That's what David and Brian did. Sometimes starting something is that simple. Since they were kids, David and Brian were fascinated by two things: power and wealth. They wondered, "What makes a billionaire unique?" They had a question, an idea, and conviction. "We were all the f*ck in," Brian says. They had dinner with a bunch of billionaires. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun, but it wasn't. David and Brian were manipulated, belittled, and snubbed. But they were mesmerized. I'll give you one story. It's to tempt you to download this episode. Because I really think you're going to get a lot out of the interview. You'll hear their stories - the behind-the-scenes of 2016's most talked about show. You'll get motivation to write, build, and be creative. You'll hear about how a partnership is born. And you'll learn why people knowingly make the wrong choices. And maybe, you'll make the right ones. Whatever those are... the right choices for you. Ok so one story before you press play: Over dinner, David and Brian met with their first billionaire. It cost more than $2,000. He racked up the price and made them suffer. "There was clearly a power dynamic," David says. He acted like he wasn't thinking, but "billionaires don't just accidentally stumble along and amass great fortunes," David says, "He was showing us that he was no sucker. And we were." Before that night, "I've never thought, 'Who's gonna win the dinner?'" Brian said. If you've watched the trailer, you know what this guy did - "What's the point of having f*ck you money if you never say f*ck you." And they felt it. Morally, David and Brian believe in loyalty, honor, and ambition. And that you can balance these things. But not everyone does. Some people believe nice guys finish last. This interview reveals how to get inside the mind of billionaires. It might make you sick. Or it might make you hungry. Listen now.

You can't make everyone happy. Really, you can't make anyone happy. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you can let go of control, shame, or whatever your parents did to you, and start having sex. Or happiness. Whatever you're searching for. I'll explain. My guest today, a seven-time New York Times best-selling author, Neil Strauss, has written books on Motley Crue, Marilyn Manson, and pornstar Jenna Jameson, before exploring the pickup artist scene. Sex was all around him. He was immersed in the seduction community, but Neil couldn't find love himself. No woman would kiss him. He grew up a loser, and couldn't get a girlfriend for most of his life. Now he's happily married. But between marriage and being a loser, he had a lot of "pleasure fantasy experiences." Meaning, he learned how to pick up women and started having crazy sex orgies. One after another. And then he just stopped, and the sex parties ended. I wanted to know why. What made him decide he couldn't handle it anymore? But I'll get back to this. In his first book, The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists, Neil gives you easy tools you can use to have confidence. He teaches you how to feel like you're in control of a social situation. Neil was so busy having sex, he didn't have time to get back to his normal life. Personally, I don't think I'd like that. I would just constantly be jealous or insecure, to be honest. But back to happiness. Which I don't even like to talk about really... We put too much pressure on ourselves to be happy. You can't be happy all the time. And when you are happy, it should be special. But Neil had a good friend to help him refocus. "You need someone in your life who can reflect yourself back to you so you can see yourself a little bit," he says. His producer and close friend, Rick Rubin, said, "Look, you got everything you wanted in The Game. Why are you still not happy?" That's when Neil started looking for the truth. In his book, The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships, Neil shows you how he gave up control. The book is about beliefs. "It's so hard to recognize your beliefs, let alone change them, because you're living with yourself." But behaviors are easier to change. That's what he teaches you in this episode. You'll learn how to feel healthier emotionally. When your personal life is together, you're much more capable of achieving bigger things, accumulating wealth, and feeling less stressed and worried. Neil says, "There's always a reason for what you're doing, and if you don't know the reason, then maybe you're living an unconscious life." And if you're just curious about the sex, then there's something here for you, too. ------------What do YOU think of the show?

You know why I wrote Choose Yourself. But you don't know how you got here. How did you get here, on my email list, my website, Facebook page, Twitter? Do you want to know why you're following me? I'm going to tell you. I'll tell you my secrets to building an email list, a customer base, an audience. I'm going to tell you how I got you here. There are specific tactics I use. And you can use them, too, for your business or blog or anything. But I'll get back to that. First you need an idea. And there needs to be a demand for that idea. Next, you should be wondering, "Is my idea any good?" Probably not. Or maybe it is. You could be much smarter than me. Most of my ideas don't lead to anything. But a few have. Like StockPickr, the company I built and sold for millions before almost destroying myself and wanting to die. If you're an idea machine, you already know how to come up with ideas. Scaling an idea is more challenging. Results don't just appear. You need traction. You need to grow and acquire new customers. My guest today, Gabriel Weinberg, author of Traction: How Any Startup Can Achieve Explosive Customer Growth and CEO of Duck Duck Go, is the king of results -- search results that is. That's what Duck, Duck, Go does. It is a search engine and it's stealing millions of customers from Google. It takes some sort of voodoo mastermind to figure out how to beat Google at their own game. Gabriel challenges the status quo. He's part of that rare breed of people who believe nothing is impossible. Now DuckDuckGo is pretty huge. But why would anyone want to challenge Google? That's what I wanted to find out. And I'll tell you why in a second. But let's get back to my secret. In 33 minutes and 22 seconds, you can know my preferred method to scaling your business. Or you can just skip to the 33:22 mark in today's interview. You might be surprised to find out how I scaled Choose Yourself - how I got traction. But if you're not looking for shortcuts, listen to the whole interview. You'll get an all-inclusive, complete breakdown on how to sell and scale your best ideas. Gabriel goes over every marketing tactic, nineteen to be exact. If you're resourceful, you can use them to start building your wealth for the New Year. And in his book, Gabriel and Justin Mares give you marketing tips from the masters, including Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, Kayak founder Paul English, and more than a dozen others. Listen today to hear Gabriel break down the best tactics for every stage of your business. You'll also hear why he wasn't happy with Google, and how he started today's superior search engine, in addition to how you and thousands of other people got here. And how you can start selling and scaling. Ready, set... (duck, duck) go. ------------What do YOU think of the show?

I know a miracle worker. He's an entrepreneur, marketing man, and film producer who gets companies like HP to say, "yes" to him. You can learn a lot from him. I did. One thing I learned is there's more to choosing yourself. There's a part two. Part one is when you see things in your life that are absurd, decide you're not going to stand for it anymore and quit. You decide to become physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually healthy. That's choosing yourself. Part two is when you see what's wrong with the world and say, "That's absurd. Let's change that. Let's hack that. Let's modify that so it's affordable." That's what Mick Ebeling does-- founder of the Not Impossible Labs and the Not Impossible Foundation. Through these two entities, Mick figured out how build whatever he wants, and solve impossible problems. Mick sees the world through his own lens. It's the reason he's successful. He creates technology that solves absurd problems like having your arms blown off. No prosthetics, no solution. Or being paralyzed and unable to speak to your family ever again. The technology to fix these problems does exist. But when you can't afford it, you have an even bigger problem. This is why Mick hacks. He disrupts the system, doesn't wait for permission, and believes in impossible things. You can, too, but more on that later. Let me tell you how he got started. Mick was just reading the paper. He read that thousands of people in the country of Sudan don't have arms because of war injuries. And they just live with it. They can't afford prosthetics, so they hand-feed each other, dress each other, and help each other with all the other daily necessities. Mick decided to do something. He flew to Sudan with no plan and figured out how to create prosthetic arms using a 3D printer. This is someone with no experience in medicine or engineering. He's just a guy with a big heart who decided nothing is impossible. On the show, you'll hear how he 3D printed arms for a boy named Daniel, and empowered an entire country to do this for thousands of other people missing limbs. I wanted to know how it's done. How can people quit their jobs and do things that really matter? Mick tells you how on the podcast. You'll also learn how to think like today's most successful innovators. "We're not trying to create the next $700 pill," Mick says, "We're trying to create something that totally disrupts a particular fill-in-the-blank, maybe it's a way of communication, a way of transportation." This is the winning mentality today: Uber, Airbnb, Not Impossible Labs. By making technology accessible, he's solving global problems. "Help one, help many," that's Not Impossible Labs' mission. Then Mick's team tells the story through videos that go viral and infect everyone with this bug- the not impossible bug. Besides a miracle worker, Mick's a story teller. "Each of our projects tells the story of a single individual. By helping one person, how many others can we help?" Stories bridge the gap between helping just one person and helping many. Mick's not just choosing himself... He's choosing the world. "Once you start to have the awareness of something you need, you start to see it." So how can you get the big idea, do the impossible, and become beautifully successful "First of all, you can just start to believe in this mentality that nothing is impossible," Mick says. Try it. Second, look for absurdities. They're everywhere - when you read or watch TV. When something bothers you, think of solutions. Be an idea machine. Third, disrupt. Don't wait for big government or big business to give you permission. Forget bureaucracy. Disruption starts now. We're hacking the system. Listen to today's episode. You'll hear Mick's miracle stories, find out where he gets his big ideas and his money, and how you too can do impossible things. Resources and Links: * Not Impossible Labs' Website *...
