Be excellent to one another!

When he was 18, Tristan stepped in the octagon to fight a dude 10 years older than him. From that moment forward, he knew he was a fighter.

Along the way, Tristan left the sport to try and acclimate to a normal way of living, but couldn't do it.

Tristan Lindi (fighting out of the "Art of War" gym in Eugene, OR) joins us for a discussion about mindset, routine, and flow. We talk about what it means to be a fighter and how he came to terms with his calling.

We share our experience with psychedelics and break down the mental barriers to spiritual awakening.

We also touch on cults, consciousness, and how the meditative practice has shaped our experience.

ALSO! Adam realizes a truth and the boys conclude their experience with the book. *Spoiler alert: it was fear and he had to face it.

And, as always, in the words of Bill & Ted:

Be excellent :)

"Is life without meaning? Are you and I marooned on an atom of dust hurtling in the dark through a pointless cosmos?

Maybe.

But we can’t act as if we believed that.

We must act as if there were meaning, as if our lives and actions did have significance, as if love is real and death is an illusion, as if the future will be better than the past, whatever that means.

One of Seth Godin’s great contributions is the idea of “picking yourself.” Don’t sit on a stool at Schwab’s like Lana Turner waiting for someone else to pick you to be the next star.

Pick yourself.

Act as if you were a pro, a fastball hitter, the real thing,

And there’s additional magic to the practice of acting as if and writing as if. In some crazy way, acting and writing as if makes our beliefs about ourselves come true.

What we had only projected takes on its own reality. That’s a law.

“You’re an actress,” Art Carney tells Lily Tomlin at a scary moment in Robert Benton’s great private eye flick The Late Show. “Act brave.”

-Steven Pressfield
