• The only people without regrets are people who have brain damage. People who are sociopaths, and people who have neurodegenerative diseases, the rest of us have regrets.
• Make it a rule of life, never to regret and never look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy. You can't build on it. It's only good for wallowing on it.
• Never regret something that once made you happy.
• regret is mostly caused by not having done anything.
• You gotta keep on keeping on. Life's a garden. Dig it, dig it, make it work for you.
• Everything in life is so finite. And there's always that last time, but you don't sometimes you don't even realize when the last time is going to be
• For me, getting something, that thing won't make me happy. But achieving the thing is, like a level. And then I get to go to the next level.
• I feel like there's always an opportunity to go back and remedy the regret you may have.
• Use the regret you have now as a catalyst for what you want to do going forward.
• control what you can control, move on, learn from that regret.

People say flexing is doing whatever you can to look good, but that doesn't explain why people who don't do anything to look good are considered flexing.

It gets more complicated too, some people are considered "flexing" for being able to afford such and such, other people who can afford the same things aren't considered flexing at all. There's also this weird idea that flexing is about money and material goods, but in reality, most people who are considered flexing have nothing that others don't have. So what is the true definition of flexing?

Join us in this episode as we try to find out what actually flexing is, especially on social media, and whether it’s even wrong in the first place. During the episode, you will also hear more about Kim Kardashian’s best advice for women, Pete Davidson’s beef with Kanye, and Elon Musk’s challenge to Putin.

[20:48] Matt’s first month in Airbnb business

• Talking about flexes, my wife literally does not allow me to flex at all.
• Social Media in general is a huge flex. Anything you post, it’s like, “I want people to see this.”
• A flex is anything that’s above and beyond average. Because society has painted out to create average people.
