Transcripts
i want to talk about your personal and
professional life balance so
obviously you
and layla i'm assuming have some sort of
structure at this point or maybe you
don't i don't know for like how many how
many hours are allocated to
you wake up
you i don't know like what you have a
morning routine and then how do you
schedule out things and date nights or
how does that look
yeah we do the same thing pretty much
every day so we wake up we have coffee
we work
we have lunch we do meetings in the
afternoons
uh we walk
we go out to dinner
we come home
we'll usually have more dessert and then
we usually watch an episode of a show
and we go to bed and i do that basically
every day so you what you have the same
sleep schedule and you wake up at like 4
a.m at the same time or whatever it is
i wake up when i wake up um it usually
is like today i woke up probably like 4
30 but
4 30 to 5 30 is when i wake up i mean
whenever my rem cycle ends i just wake
up with my eyes open
okay and then you
get up you go make a cup of coffee and
you sit there for like how long is it
until you're actually working in
probably 45 minutes probably 45 minutes
lately and i hang out we have our coffee
we watch the sunrise
chit-chat about the day chit-chat about
whatever um
and then we work and i mean the the two
biggest life hacks that i've had
for being productive that i still do is
number one i wake up early and i start
working pretty much immediately um i
still consider it you know i'm not
transiting anywhere i'm not getting
ready i mean from the time my eyes are
open to the time i'm working it's
probably 45 minutes um
and i start early so that's one and the
second one is that i just don't schedule
anything before lunch and we're pretty
we're pretty vigilant about that even
with all the demands of time and all
that stuff i have until
basically 12 30 every day um
that i don't take really any meetings
and that's that has i think those two
things together have allowed me to i
mean if i start working at 5 30 and i
have until 12 30 i have a full work day
completely uninterrupted every day
before i do
things like this right like i did
nothing before i'd talk to you today do
you have like a task
from melanie to for that five to 12 30
slot where it's like you're gonna work
on your book for this or you're gonna
film or what whatever
yeah okay yep and and it's also because
the nature of my work compared to
uh layla's is different layla has
far far f
more
um
tasks and like she has a lot more like
10 to 60 minute tasks and i have way
more like 40 hour tasks
so like if i need to if i need to create
like an entire
sop so what i'll give you an example so
one of one of the things that i have to
build right now is um our database
marketing system so it's a system that
we do with all of our portfolio
companies which basically creates
compliant claims um allows us to track
customer metrics and customer results
at different intervals within the
company how we translate that into
headlines and guarantees
within the product and how it translates
into marketing messaging and so like all
of that kind of all works together it's
a big thing that i have to put together
you know i mean there's lots of assets
there's like here's the surveys here's
how to interpret the surveys here's how
you translate them into headlines and
guarantees and here's what the
compliance looks like all that stuff
right and so like that's a big thing i
have to do
layla's tests are typically not like
that it's hers are more like uh have
four interviews with
you know this role that we're looking at
with uh one of the portfolio companies
so it's like they have a director of
sales and she's gonna interview their
final candidates to to make a
recommendation right so it's like
it's she has way more tasks than i do
and they're just as important they're
just different in nature
and if you guys don't finish like let's
just say she's going through her bullet
point list of tasks and she doesn't
finish them by
lunch or your meetings in the afternoon
do you just like chop them off in the
middle or do they carry through and
sometimes you'll have a full work day
where you work for like 12 hours or
how's that typically play out
no they just start over the next day you
know i mean there's an there's literally
an endless supply of work so you know we
just
and that's where i think prioritization
is important a lot of people just don't
prioritize well so they do lots of stuff
but they don't get anything
done that moves the needle
when do you film is it in that
eight-hour block when you wake up
um
yeah sometimes i mean a lot of the stuff
is repurposed and caleb's you know
coming in and he's building his uh the
media team out uh you know for this uh
mostly because like i'm not
i want to work on businesses um yeah
more than i want to make like the
specific videos and i don't think it's
sustainable um and so i didn't want to
create and unsustain i didn't want to
scale up to something that was
unsustainable to then scale it back so
what i'm doing now is very is
comfortable for me this is like
i make you know a handful of videos
every few weeks and i usually do them in
one spray i'll just sit down and i have
a couple things top of mind i'll make
the videos and those get spread out and
then we've got you know podcasts like
this where they'll they'll repurpose
different chunks and so that that
becomes content that also becomes the
clips and so
the vast majority of the short stuff is
repurposed uh and increasingly over time
more of the other the longer clips for
like youtube will be repurposed when you
sit down for videos that's like once a
week you just like blast off and talk at
the camera for like four hours or like
how do you structure that
uh
because you have you probably have a
much better process than i do well the
fact that i think you've said somewhere
that you do it once a week or something
which is like yeah or every other week
or every other week yeah
and then you just make sure you have
enough clips out of that to make and
then if you have like a long-form
presentation
that you've done or like uh i don't know
like you've been to an event or
something that you can post you'll post
that but yeah it's kind of like whatever
you thought of over the last two weeks
is important and you just sit down just
[ __ ] talk kind of thing
you know have like somebody prompting
questions for you or anything
no it is it is astonishingly low
production
it's that's not a guy's it's not like
some some i'm trying to make it
it's really low production
i have like i've this little pad in
front of my computer that if i think of
something that i think would be good i
write it down and then when i have like
two or three of them on the pad i sit
down and make the video that weekend you
know what i mean and if i get to the
video time and i'm not feeling one of
them i don't make it and so if i sit
down and i feel like making four i make
four and if i feel like making one i
make one because it like i know that if
i don't feel like making the video it's
not going to be good and so i don't want
to waste the audience's time
do you review anything before it goes
live ever
uh
not really so you just let him clip it
and just assume that it's like it's
going to be whatever you direct a camera
yeah it's me directed camera so like i i
feel confident like i will stand behind
what i say yeah um
where where i feel like people have to
watch out is where if somebody's trying
to take on their voice that's something
that i would have you know a lot of
difficulty with but anytime you know
they want to take a transcript and then
like post it as a caption or post it on
linkedin or whatever like those are my
words like cool you know i mean as long
as it's not taken out of context which
usually they're really good about
yeah
then yeah that's how we do it
do you do anything to get your headspace
right for videos like listen to music
get pumped up like do you do anything
like that
no no
okay you're making something sometimes
just kidding
no dude but like sometimes if you know
you've got a film and you have like a
really dialed in schedule it's like this
is my filming block and you're just like
not feeling it
you know sometimes there's things people
will do to kind of like get their head
in the right space i wasn't sure if you
had any of those if i if my head's not
in the right space i just do something
that my head is in the right space for
so i'll say something that layla and i
are probably a little different about um
maybe we've maybe we've converged a
little bit but like
this is probably going to be against the
the discipline mode motive motivation
manifesto like mantra that is that is
predominant but like
people are like you got to do stuff that
you don't want to do
um
i i don't i don't do that a lot i i do
the stuff that i want to do and i i just
if all of these things are high roi i
just
do the ones that i feel like doing
um and if they're all high roi then
it doesn't matter what order i do them
in it's like today's a content day i'm
like well i don't feel like making
content i feel like writing a book then
i'll write the book and if the day the
next day i was supposed to write the
book and i feel like making content i'll
make content they both get done i just
do them when when i when i'm feeling it
like i don't know it's worked for me i i
have i am not a rules guy i do not like
rules
and so i like having freedom and so i
don't i try to apply that to as many
places in my life as i can
so one thing i can relate to a lot is
recently you showed your little like
little hallway cubby of an office it's
just like a dialed in [ __ ]
straight on you can't look to your left
you can't tell your right it's just a
wall a lot of you guys have seen me
record videos in this space over here
harry potter's uh under the bed platform
nine three quarters but this is actually
where i work so this is my little office
it's actually a mandatory fire escape
for me over the years the more i had
windows sound anything i can't even have
my door open where it's like i know
another room is
like in the steppeable vicinity of me it
just needs to be shut so 100 i have a
hard time with traveling even too
because if i go sit down at a table
somewhere else that's on my office
it's very difficult so for you
over the years this is a this is a
mobile work studio so that's a table
that has that has things in it and it
opens up and it has like a screen so i
can like have a portable desk it's like
so i hear you i feel you yeah over the
years did you kind of like
come up with certain strategies to shut
things out more because i feel like i
don't know if i heard this maybe i'm
imagining it but you said you had times
you even wore a hat to be like more like
tunnel visioned in
sometimes some of the lore that comes
out i don't know where it comes from
that no i've never
like stay more focused i just wear it
because it keeps my head hot that gets
my head warm
and i like it because i like the logo
and i like that
yeah so like wear that
over the years has your office just
become like smaller and smaller and
smaller to where you've like dialed in a
certain
like you need to have a certain space
the way it is where it's like you're not
going to get as much work done otherwise
i like a big screen that's about like
that's what i like having a big screen
and i like having a decent amount of
desk space that's about it and i don't
know so if you were distractions
if you were overlooking vegas with the
office table right in front of the glass
door or the glass window would your
productivity be like half
or oh yeah
i mean i don't know what the percentage
would be it would be less yeah okay cool
so i'm not yeah i also get distracted
really easily like i i mean when we
drink our coffee sometimes i just won't
say anything for like 30 minutes because
i'm just staring at the cars like you
know it's like watching fire i just like
stare at it
so like i i can't have some people can't
like
people tell me they're like oh yeah i
work and like i just put jazz on or i
put music on like
i i put earplugs in and if i'm feeling
really feisty i'll put headphones on top
of my earplugs like i need no music
though ever no i i no no god no i can't
think of i only oh then i'm just
listening to music i'm not even i can't
i cannot do more than one thing
hmm so what about the phone do you leave
it on airplane mode and like chuck it
out of the room or what do you do with
it yeah yeah if i'm if i like if i need
to crank i'll i'll leave the phone
outside the room
even if my phone's off and on airplane
mode just
having it by me distracting yeah
for sure then you like and then you get
the comp you know the compulsion like
check instagram or check twitter or
whatever
yeah have you found that harder to stay
dialed in now that you kind of like
you're so involved with social right now
to grow your platform to then bring in
these companies do you ever find
yourself accidentally
deviating too hard down the rabbit holes
of social media when you're checking
stuff
it's like holy [ __ ] i've been sitting on
the toilet for 20 minutes now looking at
um
i uh
i don't i don't i don't think i think
i'm actually okay at it um as much as
i'd love to have like a damaging
admission right now and just say like
you know what i struggle with like i i
don't as much because i actually don't i
have to remind myself
to to like to do it and um
i don't
i don't i have to i have to i have to
try like i have to try like i have to
remember to put stories up i have to i
have to i have an alarm to ch to respond
to comments and stuff because i
otherwise i i just won't um
that's not something your executive
assistant could do if they know how to
speak you're like yeah yeah it's the
voice thing i'd rather no i want the
stuff if it's gonna be me i'd rather
respond to five people and have it be me
than have a hundred percent hundred
percent of people being responded to and
not pay me
you know it's wild so instagram doesn't
have like an admin feature where you can
just like assign admins you have to like
actually physically give people your
profile like how is that not a thing a
thing yet it makes no [ __ ] sense
i don't get it there's a lot of things
that don't make sense
