Do you have the training and mental fortitude of a warrior? Do you know the battleground and the enemy that you’re taking on? And most importantly, do you know yourself? This episode explores concepts from the ancient text “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu, a military strategist and philosopher, and relates them back to running a business in the present day.

We further our discussion on John’s philosophy that “movement is the foundation of stillness” after a listener challenges us with a question on early retirement. This brings out John’s personal view on retirement, what he believes to be the four pillars of happiness, and also leads us into our most detailed and interesting delayed discounting conversation yet!

Other topics in this episode include: a helpful philosophy that is sent in by a listener, the beloved “Whack vs Wisdom” segment, the third instalment of Austin’s back to school tips, and a whole bunch sales lessons that will turn you into a closing machine!

At some point in your life, you may find yourself in a situation where you are absolutely exhausted and can’t handle adding anything else to your plate. You’ll feel like you’ve found your ceiling, but other people around you may be able to keep going. How come they can do it and you can’t?

The answer is: to reverse engineer the structure of your life (or business) from the goal down to the individual inputs so that you can more efficiently complete the tasks at hand.

In this episode, John breaks down exactly which inputs are needed for him to accomplish what he has in his business this year. You’ll learn his strategy of reverse engineering a sales goal to figure out how to combine time, money, and human capital to accomplish it. Amer then provides some insight on how he could optimize his profitability.

Later on, John reacts to the popular hip hop song “Did You See NAV?”, Austin draws similarities between the time value of money (delayed discounting) and the time value of emotions, Amer talks about using fear as a motivator, and John closes out the episode with some mind-bending takeaways from his latest read.
