I seem to have a lot of people at my current job single me out, and I am only focused on doing my job responsibilities and be respectful towards other that are respectful to me, and still I have a lot of people try to make up lies and spread lies about me, (I’m not victimizing myself, I’m describing the aura that people are some type of way as long as a Co. is behind the ill behavior, and if the Co. is not then people say one thing on here but in real life you are not part of 1st principles type of conversation,
The man was a quote machine and reading his letters to his mum when he was at Boarding School tells a lot about how his attitude was formed, yet his adherence to action and the resilience he appeared to have empowered the citizens with during his years in office are the definition of integrity - even if another one of his great quotes is “I’ve gotten more out of Alcohol than it’s taken from me” ❤
Chris, you’re knocking it out of the park recently with these guests. It’s not just the guests themselves, but your ability to connect with them and have such meaningful conversations that seem to bring out the best from both of you. Nobody can truly do you but you. Keep being yourself mate! Thanks for all the content!
The way PBD can recall different authors, entrepreneurs, and intellectualls is remarkable. Also, his superb ability to tell different stories to perfectly coincide with his points is fascinating. Chris is a incredible host. He asks questions at the best times and keeps me engaged every moment. There is a reason why this is my favorite podcast show. Whew, the amount of wisdom on this one!
Nooo, I think PBD picked the Host brain, PBD seems to be the interviewer & gets to the point w/his analysis & wit. Definitely keeps you interested w/his knowledge & insight. 👍🏽 Great job.
Chris is spot on about not feeling the need to contribute to noise, and only to the signal on topics that he isn’t prepared or wanting to engage with. That is admirable. I wish more commentators would stay in their lane. We have WAY TOO MUCH NOISE.
I mean he literally keeps asking the same questions about men and women in dating where he will get the sameish answers or straight up just contradict himself from the last time he talked about it, and hes obviously doing it for views as well.
Can't believe I started this to watch for a short time and could never put it down and was sad when it was over. So powerful and well done!!!! Thank you gentlemen!!!
I must be in the minority about viewing the success of others. I absolutely LOVE to see people succeed. Shows hard work paying off, and I love hard work.
The way you curate your questions/topics to hit to bring out the best of each guest and hit and drag out their niche knowledge is admirable. I’ve watched hours of PBD and still learn something here.
Pbd is one of my favourite communicators, if not my fav! The way he is able to answer to questions by using stories is a top skill many would like to learn!
What a fantastic interview. Thank you! I had the epiphany while working on the MTV Cribs Team. Traveling the country helping to produce shows in mansions while living in a studio apt in NYC at that time was getting to me at first. I went thru the feelings of feeling jealous, envious, what about me thoughts, and then I started to realize that I was rich/wealthy because I had friends and family that truly loved me and had "my back". Meanwhile I was meeting celebrities or very wealthy people who were not even sure who their real friends were. I started to see some dysfunction. I started to see the disconnection and some people putting an act for the cameras and then looking depressed once the cameras were off. Definitely an eye opening experience. Grateful
I listened to it already today on Spotify. Watching it here again because of the insane video and to take notes 📝 Thank you both for your contribution to our generation. Pat is the Man, one of my favorite people ever. Would be an honor to meet him one day and say thank you in person and to shake his hand
Thats a very smart comment@maxc9334 1. ‘‘Demand from yourself what you demand from others‘‘ (i.e. nobody will respect you if you don't respect yourself ;) 2. Set standards and expectations for your family. (the most powerful and successful families have their own standards and they stay true to them, no matter what others think) 3. Take into consideration how much selfishness/selflessness the people around you have. Does it align with your standards? (for example, as a business owner you might want to work with people who are 50/50 selfish/selfless. A Leader might want to be at about 70/30)
im taking a bunch of notes all the time. Every time I learn something completely new I write it down, just to revisit it when I have time to think about the topic and understand it better.@@6feetunderpants
I listened to this over a 4/6hr work day, of course office interruptions. By the time I got to the end, I was a little sad and yearned for more - it was that phenomenal. Thank you for helping me make sense of how blessed I am with my parental combo. Great work gents.
Selfless vs selfish reminds me of one of my grandmothers. I learned from her that in order to take care of others I need to be able to support myself first and do so consistently; then I can more freely give to others and support them. Otherwise you can get caught in a vicious cycle of helping others and then need to be bailed out when things go rough for you.
As a videographer, your team is knocking it out of the park. Your podcasts are a staple in my life but as a pixel peeper I have to give credit where credit is due. Double down on this production quality and I could probably tell you that this channel would soar. Nobody is at this level. Well done as always. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@frankysalazar6857It doesn’t have to do with editing. It has to do with lighting, frame rates, color grading, and camera lens quality. The editing of an interview is pretty straightforward. Somebody like MrWhosTheBoss relies on editing. Chris is just a fantastic host with amazing guests and storytelling within his shows.
Great interview, Chris. I've enjoyed seeing you progress as a awesome person. You've grown into an excellent interviewer as well and couldn't have picked a better man to speak with.

Hey Pat I’m an Assyrian in Melbourne Australia My family never went on govt help They just used their skills I’d love to work for you What a journey it has been We look up to you
The quality of the production of this episode is amazing. I watched this episode on the TV at dinner time and I had the feeling Patrick was in front of me. The discussion was very good with many layers of complexity. Happy days! 🎉
Reminds me of an old saying I heard from my dad back in he day. 'Son, if you are to survive, you must be one of three things. Strong. Smart. Or Crazy. You'll go far.'
Patrick ran a sleazy MLM life insurance scheme where 95% of the licensed sales agents make less than a minimum wage worker making $7.25hr while he got rich leeching off them!
I’m a fan of you both. As well as others who encourage personal and community responsibility . This was one of the best podcasts I have ever engaged with. Thanks for the conversation you two!
You really built this one up. I saw a few 10 minute clips, I've been searching for this episode for the past week and a half😂 like Wtf... Well worth the wait. Thank you brotha

@@BropillerHappiness is just a temporary dopamine spikes. Fulfillment is what most people want but fail to identify it as a value. The way we choose to live determines the quality of our life. Every decision or indecision and behavior we engage in creates the grand painting of our life. Those who recognize this can excel beyond their wildest expectations. Those who let external influences dictate their thoughts and behaviors lead unfulfilled experiences. The happiness mantra is just a trap. To lead a great live have to begin from within.
Chris FWIW there are many of us who like the fact that you don’t weigh in on the political topic du jour. Your instincts are on point, that’s not what we’re here for.
What I like when I'm watching and listening to this kind of conversation are the title of the books mentioned and what the books about. It is not that they are making recommendations, but their talking about the reason why that book is interesting and the lesson you can get out of it. Just sharing pure wisdom and knowledge.
I realize you can still learn things from unethical people, but any video of PBD needs to come with a massive disclaimer about his wealth and success coming from a predatory MLM scheme. For years now he’s been trying to distance himself from this past by reputation-laundering through his podcasts and appearances exactly like this.
The guy is use to having enemies bc he ran a sleazy MLM life insurance scheme where 95% of the licensed sales agents make less than a minimum wage worker making $7.25hr! He sold people on the idea they could easily make six figures selling life insurance when he knew full well only the top 1% actually make decent money! But he didn't care bc he charged each one $200 to get licensed.
you can see the marketer in him quite clearly, as i'm 20 minutes in and he's dropped the name of the book 30 times lmao. that said, i do enjoy his podcast.
I would care less. If you are pulled into scams then imagine what you are willing to do if goverment say that you throw those people into oven. His thing was quite harmless, you lost just little bit time if you realised that you are not good marketer easy as that. There are people who run from one to othere into those schemes without get any money and some reason they still doing. You have all the time free will to say NO! All those schemes actually look good and sexy just math is not adding up to make it top or you are 1%
Pat as a female I opened a brokerage in 1998 or so. Male dominated industry I had all the education, license’s, but I did not get your wise advice of enemies and competition. I wish I had this advice back then. That is what was missing. Excellent
Chris. this is insane formal. I love this episode. GODDAMN. You two have insane chemistry. Ive consumed a lot of podcasts and you were my favorite for a while. I think you just solidified that status beyond the point of no return. Love it Much love from Germany
Regarding the "Palestine/Israel opinion thing": I think it was Buffet who said something along the lines of "You don't need to have an opinion on everything." A very liberating stance to take.

You have to have a line for your kids to follow. When I was growing up my day was get up At 5am and I was tutored on passing whatever national Exam I had to do. Then at 7 took a shower then breakfast, by 8 I was at school. After school my driver picks me up at 3pm I have another 1-2 hours of tutoring and homework. By the time I get home it’s 5pm. I can’t just toss my bag down and my uniform. I had to polish my shoes, shower and eat dinner. After dinner I had to wash the dishes even though I had a maid that could do it. No games on week days. If your grades fell / I messed up bad no games, tv or phone grounded can’t go out. In fact I had no tv for abt two years I watched local news for entertainment and at the time I hated it but I have discipline and that’s what a lot of youth lack.
I had been wondering for the last several years - since maybe 2016-17ish - why I had such a lack of energy, motivation, interest, ambition, etc. I mean, I thought I was basically at the end of at least my own personal development if not even the end of my life to some extent - like the same minimal routine for the next X years or decades and then die - like I was just going to go to work, come home, watch RU-vid and maybe play video games for a few hours, sleep and repeat - no hobbies, no friends, no adventure, no changes or growth, no extra effort beyond absolute minimum, etc. And I haven't always been like that - I was raised to be almost militantly against laziness and I always loved having hobbies and learning things, going on adventures, hanging out with people, etc. But I had a span of my life where I was an alcoholic and multi-drug addict - but when I finally managed to quit, that's when my energy, motivation, interest in literally anything, etc. all vanished and I probably slept around 20 hours a day for over a year. I had gotten to the point where I could stay awake most of the day and do most of what I needed to do but I would still start falling asleep if I wasn't moving - like driving or doing relatively stationary work. I had a sleep study scheduled all the way back in 2019 but something happened and I never went and then I just kind of forgot that was even a consideration. Well, a few weeks ago, I finally had a sleep study and found out I have sleep apnea - I'm a big dude but not huge and this only started right after quitting drugs, because I was always the most energetic person I knew and the last one asleep so I'm thinking the drugs and booze and quitting them was the cause - but I've been totally miserable for all of these years and my wife (who was the one who helped me quit drugs) even left me back in June for several reasons related to my low energy and motivation - all of this, and I could have fixed the problem and started participating in life again and probably would still have my wife and be in a much happier marriage now - I could have gotten better years ago.. So all of that to say, I've felt like a worthless, lazy bastard this entire time - especially when reading/watching anything related to bettering your life - business, fitness, adventure/recreation, etc. - and maybe I'll finally be getting back to normal. They're doing one last sleep study in a few days to calibrate/test/setup the CPAP on me. Every last person I've talked to who has gone through this has said the CPAP basically changed their lives... I've prepared myself though - I think the apnea is probably only part of it.. Being stuck in this mode all these years, I'm probably going to have to work on some habits/behaviors I developed in this time that are just in my head/mental that are controlled by my level of determination..
We agree on 23 different things. We disagree on 22 things. I lived in Iran. I then lived in US. I did a podcast with Sinatra. Then I didn’t do a podcast with Sinatra. Then I went to the bank. Then I went home from the bank. Then you knew that. Then you didn’t know that. If you lived in a house and then you lived in a condo. You know about your neighbors. You don’t know your neighbors. -PBD
So good! The underdog support that everyone has for the person that’s on the come up reminds people of their dreams and when your at the top everyone tries to tear you down because you remind them of what they gave up on.
Chris and Patrick are amazing communicators. 🎉❤😂 Living is understanding nature and navigating through it together. Choose wisely when selecting your group relationships. I am a 67 year young woman who enjoys listening to your podcasts. I look forward to hearing this discussion because I expect you will challenge each other with respect. You both look great, too😮❤🎉
@Patrick bet-david : Love is a choice. When the feelings fade, and emotions reverse so one doesn't even like the other person, love, then, becomes a choice.
Two of my favorites! I have TREMENDOUS respect for how PBD challenges other podcasters. I just wonder how PBD would challenge himself. Thanks, Chris for all your great work!
Great podcast Chris! Been watching you for a while and you keep improving every time! Great questions and insights in this one, particularly in the dilemma of being successful and raising good kids.
i used to love Patrick some of the best pod cast i have seen but all i here from him is how much money everybody has as this is the one and only thing that in his mind is what success is human greed creates enemies i choose not to have enemies made lots of money only to lose it all couldnt be happier ya cant take it with you
Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to hear today on my journey. Both of you have beautiful minds and articulate your thoughts so well. I pray the two of you have continued success as I pray for my own strength and success in Life. Please keep sharing the Truth! It is so refreshing to hear!
An enemy is a good whetstone. Played baseball as a kid and my town had 2 teams (12 in the league). I hated one of the kids on the other team. We played the same position and were both picked for all-stars every year and competed for that position. We both got really good. By HS we were by far the best players on the team and then he moved and I quit getting better. Actually quit playing halfway through senior year after 13 years of baseball. We even competed for grades in school. Always in the same stupid classes and was always #1 and 2. GPA dropped right after. It's like I needed a reason to try and future rewards were not enough.
Some of think there are already too many people talking about subjects they’re not experts in, and appreciate the restraint from making “more noise”. Keep up the good work.
The dynamic between the two of you is incredible. You are asking the right questions, not just for an audience, but because you are genuinely curious yourself. What a treat to get the opportunity to interview a great mind and get mentoring in return from Patrick in the process. Freaking genius. I can't stop listening and absorbing. Wish there were women this smart speaking reality to women. Teaching women to be better wives, mothers and members of society. I love Candace and Brett, but we need more of that and less of celebrity influence.
PBD is always quick to answer and I think it’s a weakness for him to not just take a little time to consider what he wants to say rather than springing into a tangential response that often goes wildly off course.
Been waiting for this one!! Two handsome, educated, masculine men coming together to create intellectual friction!!! Helping us all “get off” in a sense! Saving this video to rewatch later!!!
PBD is great. Rogan leaving RU-vid is what lead to finding alternatives and PBD and yourself are 2 of the people that have risen to the top of my list during that search.
When a young juvenile court service worker, in 1977, a young black man told me that the right thing to do was not to marry the mother of his child because she would not get the help she needed; the government would take care of them. 😢 This young man’s purpose and meaning was stolen…so sad😮…societal problems revisited.
Before I realized it, I was 45 minutes. Fantastic episode. One of the best interviews I’ve listened to in months. Thank you. You just keep getting better.
I completely agree that enemies will introduce you to a side of yourself you never knew existed. I promise you all that you can be stronger than you ever believed. Don't give up.
I heard a snippet of Patrick singing Chris' praises on his own podcast, and he's not alone, I've noticed so many of the guests are equally impressed by him both as a podcaster but also as a person. That speaks volumes, you should be very proud Chris. Really appreciate your work. 💙🚀
A competitor is playing the same game and following the same rules as you. An enemy aims to eliminate you from the game no matter what rules must be broken to do so.
Thanks again Chris for another amazing episode. Listened to this one on my run this morning, really enjoyed the knowledge Patrick shared. One day I’ll sit across from you! Keep up the great work 👊
