Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently, I asked
0:02
Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless
0:04
companies are allowed to raise prices due
0:06
to inflation. They said yes. And then
0:08
when I asked if raising prices technically
0:10
violates those onerous to your contracts, they
0:12
said, what the f*** are you talking
0:14
about, you insane Hollywood ass a***? So
0:16
to recap, we're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited
0:18
from $30 a month to just $15 a month. Give
0:22
it a try at mintmobile.com/Switch.
0:25
$45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month.
0:27
New customers on first three month plan only.

Taxes and fees extra. Speed slower above 40
0:31
gigabytes of detail. My dad works in B2B
0:33
marketing. He came by my school for career
0:35
day and said he was a big ROAS
0:37
man. Then he told everyone how much he
0:39
loved calculating his return on ad spend. My
0:42
friends still laugh at me to this day. Not

down the toughest challenges in business. from
2:00
the incredible Michelle Kennedy, founder of

Peanut. But that's not all. We've
2:04
also got a powerhouse message from
2:06
the legendary Robin Sharma, breaking down
2:09
the seven kinds of wealth you
2:11
never knew you needed. We'll
2:13
dive deep into everything from
2:16
overcoming imposter syndrome, to
2:18
balancing happiness with success, and why
2:20
true fulfillment comes from more than
2:22
just financial gain. If you've ever
2:24
felt stuck, uninspired, or wondered how
2:26
the most successful people turn
2:29
their dreams into reality, then this episode
2:31
is for you. Get ready, take
2:33
notes, because this episode is packed with
2:35
insights you can apply to your own
2:37
life and career. So
2:39
grab a cup of coffee, find a
2:41
quiet spot, and let's jump right into
2:43
today's masterclass in success. You won't
2:46
want to miss a second of this. You
2:49
talk about gratitude a lot, and I think that's
2:52
one thing as human beings we
2:54
don't do enough of. We're
2:56
never present. We're always rushing around, busy.
2:58
You've got to be here, there, everywhere.
3:01
And it's not often we stop
3:04
and be grateful and think, oh my God,
3:06
what a gorgeous day, and look at my
3:08
kids hearing their laughter, hearing the birds sing.
3:10
And it's definitely something we
3:12
need to be more
3:15
thoughtful about, and practice in
3:17
gratitude. It is so interesting
3:20
when you say this, because you know
3:22
the truth is, first
3:26
of all, gratitude is the mother
3:28
of all happiness. But
3:31
it's also the mother of all truth.
3:35
I normally tell people if you're stuck
3:37
in traffic and complaining about it, you're
3:41
complaining about the negative side of
3:43
the issue. But the
3:45
positive side of the issue is that you're
3:47
in a car. That car is not
3:49
in a war zone. You're
3:52
safe enough, probably fed
3:54
enough, to be able to complain about an
3:56
issue that is so trivial. I call it...
4:00
problems of privilege. I
4:02
went to Ethiopia many times, but
4:05
I went to Ethiopia once. I
4:08
had a few business meetings.
4:11
I don't know if you've ever been, but you land in Addis
4:13
Ababa. I landed
4:16
at around 1 a.m. in the morning, so
4:18
it was dark everywhere. I get to one
4:20
of the most luxurious hotels in Africa. Gold
4:23
everywhere, and it's just so fancy.
4:27
I don't know. Partners and customers come
4:29
over to the hotel in the morning. We
4:31
had the conference. The conference
4:33
is done by 5 p.m., and I go
4:35
out of that hotel, complaining
4:38
about all of the lensey
4:40
day and the arguments we had with the clients and
4:43
all of this and that and so on. And
4:45
then the minute you walk out of
4:47
that hotel, it slums everywhere. Thin
4:51
houses where people barely
4:53
have enough to eat. And
4:55
then our partner there basically said, let
4:57
me take you on top of the
4:59
mountains, the cleanest air in Africa. Yes,
5:02
let's go. So we're having a conversation in the
5:04
car, and next to me, I
5:06
feel something passing by me. I'm
5:09
looking at my partner, not looking at
5:11
the window. There is some big thing
5:13
passing by us every two to three
5:15
minutes. So I looked, and
5:18
I asked, what is this? And it turns out this
5:20
is a woman somewhere
5:22
between age 10 and 65 who
5:27
is completely bent under
5:30
the weight of a
5:32
massive pile of wood, where
5:35
those women wake up in the
5:37
morning, every morning at sunrise. They
5:40
walk up the mountain to
5:43
collect dry wood, and
5:46
they wrap it up in a pile, I promise you, that
5:49
probably is four meters long, this
5:51
one meter thick. And
5:54
then they walk down the mountain under the weight of
5:56
that thing to deliver it
5:58
to the workshops to use as a... as
6:00
fuel for their work, right?
6:02
And they take $1 for
6:05
that nine or 10 hours of work, okay?
6:09
And then they take that $1, they
6:11
go buy food, go back home, cook
6:13
for their families, cook for their as-wholish
6:15
husbands that haven't worked the whole day,
6:18
okay? They basically
6:20
feed them and they're not
6:22
allowed to eat until
6:24
the family has stopped eating and then they eat what's
6:26
left. And I'm like, what horrible
6:29
can life become? And yet
6:31
we complain about the traffic. In
6:34
reality, if you take context of
6:36
our life, honestly,
6:39
everyone should be running around
6:41
screaming from gratitude all the time,
6:44
right? If you look at every bit
6:46
of your life, if you're just by
6:49
definition born in the UK, you're
6:51
more blessed than 90% of the world, right? If
6:54
you're born in the UK and you have enough to
6:56
eat and a
7:00
roof on top of your head and
7:02
a device to be able to
7:04
watch this conversation from, you're luckier than 98% of
7:06
the world. And
7:09
yet we take the 2% and
7:11
we focus on it, why? Because our brain
7:13
is a survival mechanism. It's supposed to look
7:16
for what's wrong so that
7:18
it can deal with it and survive rather
7:20
than what's right. And so my practice
7:22
is very straightforward. Every time my brain
7:24
will tell me something negative,
7:27
I'll say, okay, interesting. Yes, we're
7:30
stuck in traffic. What is positive about
7:32
this? What's positive is we're in
7:34
a car, it's air conditioned. We're
7:36
going to any important meeting. Someone's interested
7:38
in us, okay? We're fed, we're
7:40
safe, it's not a war zone. It's not, and
7:43
you can go on for hours about
7:45
everything that you can be grateful for. If you
7:47
do that, suddenly life becomes a
7:51
lot happier, not because it changed in any
7:53
ways, but because you notice
7:55
the reality of what it is. Who
7:59
was your inspiration? then? There
8:05
really wasn't anybody that so at the
8:07
time when I wanted to make those
8:09
gaming videos there's a Swedish gamer called
8:12
Tabe right and in my eyes he was
8:14
the coolest bloke even to this day
8:16
I think if I were to meet him I would be
8:18
like oh wow he stopped me stop making videos a while
8:21
back but as
8:23
a kid that was my inspiration but you
8:26
know that kind of died out maybe two
8:28
years after doing it because it was nobody
8:30
that had really done it. Yeah so it
8:32
was hard there was no blueprint there was no like this how
8:34
you do it whereas now there
8:36
is quite like a clear path that you can
8:39
take and you can see how to build things
8:41
out I mean now it's you know you have
8:43
like gurus and analysts about YouTube it's like a
8:45
whole different beast. How much do you rely
8:47
on analytics versus your gut? Oh that's
8:51
a good question actually I think you
8:54
have to take some it's such
8:56
a boring answer but it's like you kind of have to
8:58
take both into account but if you were to ask me
9:00
like if I was just to go off of one thing
9:02
for the rest of my career I'd go off the gut
9:04
for sure because nine
9:07
out of ten times that's right but what I'll do is I'll
9:09
make a decision based on my gut and
9:11
then find analytics to
9:13
be like right okay how can I make that work?
9:15
Yeah that's usually how I do
9:18
it because sometimes and you know not
9:20
take this back to football but a lot
9:22
of footballers have unbelievable stats but we call
9:24
it like the eye test you watch them
9:26
and they're shit so you know
9:28
that the stats are lying to an extent
9:30
like everything could be manipulated to look good
9:33
on paper and just depending what
9:35
stats you want to use to back up your
9:37
idea. Your first paycheck
9:39
yes for content creating
9:42
what was that? That it was it was like 200 pounds
9:45
and that was only because it was the minimum
9:48
that they would pay out so it actually
9:50
took me I was getting like 50 pounds
9:53
a month like 80 pounds a month and
9:55
they would only pay out when it went
9:57
over the 200 pound limit yeah so I
10:00
I remember just getting like 200 and like 2p
10:02
or something like that. And
10:04
I was like, oh, this is cool. But
10:07
at that point, did you realize this is gonna,
10:09
did you know this was going to be your
10:11
career based on the money
10:13
side of things? Are you like, if I keep going, this is going to
10:15
keep going up and up and up and up? No,
10:17
at that time, no. The moment where I thought it was
10:20
going to be a career of mine was when I got
10:22
that 2000 pound shake. And
10:24
I was just there. This
10:26
sounds so strange, right? But I
10:28
never even really thought
10:31
about much. My brain
10:33
was just like, I'm just keep doing this.
10:35
Whatever it is, it's just kind of working
10:37
and I'm having loads of fun doing this.
10:39
And I never even really thought about the money side
10:41
of things. I never even really thought about how can
10:44
I get more views or how can I do like,
10:46
I just made videos. And
10:49
I think looking back on
10:51
it, I'm so glad I did that because it's
10:53
easy to get caught up in all of that
10:55
and really start focusing on that. But
10:58
for me, it was like, just make videos. And if
11:00
it works, it works. And this was one thing that
11:02
I'm very grateful that both my parents always said to
11:04
me. And I was very privileged that this
11:06
was the case. As they said, look, if it goes tits
11:09
up, you can just come back down. I
11:11
think that's interesting because when I, I don't
11:13
know why I keep referring to Pete all the
11:15
time in this actually book. It's like when he was
11:17
a little boy, he wanted to play football. That's
11:20
all he wanted to play football, not because you
11:22
know, you could buy a mansion or you'd be
11:24
getting a hundred thousand pound a week or
11:26
whatever. It was just because he wanted to play. And I
11:29
think, you know, when you start doing
11:31
things for the money, that's when it can start
11:33
to go tits up. It's almost like the money
11:35
is the icing on the cake. You
11:38
know, yeah. And I think it's as well, it
11:41
all sounds like quite cliche, but it's one of those, if you
11:44
are doing something that you're actually passionate about, then
11:47
none of that stuff actually really matters
11:50
because you're just enjoying doing it.
11:52
Like yes. Okay. It's nice.
11:56
Like all that stuff's great, but when your priority shifts
11:58
from enjoying. making it
12:00
to how can I rinse
12:02
this for everything it's worth, then
12:04
I think that becomes a big problem. And yeah,
12:07
I mean, you see that across pretty
12:09
much all walks of life, whether it
12:11
be sports, business, anything. So do
12:13
you think for anyone listening who is thinking
12:16
of following in your footsteps, can you still
12:18
make a significant amount
12:20
of money or is it harder because the market
12:22
is so saturated? Yeah, people
12:24
ask this question quite a lot.
12:27
And I don't, I think
12:29
it, I mean, like I said, there's so many benefits
12:31
to being there early. You don't have to be as
12:33
creative, you don't have to be as savvy, like you
12:35
can make way more mistakes. It
12:37
is more difficult now. The reward
12:40
is much higher than it was
12:42
back then. Yeah. And when you do quote
12:44
unquote, make it, whatever that might be to
12:46
you, whatever that success looks like, there
12:48
is a lot of money on the other side. Is
12:51
it possible? Yeah, for sure. Is it more difficult?
12:53
Of course, there's more people there. But truly, if
12:55
you are making good content,
12:58
that is different. And I always say this, don't
13:01
look at other people for inspiration, but you have to do
13:03
your own thing. If you're not going to do anything, you're
13:06
just not going to break through the noise. There's so much
13:08
noise now, unless you're doing something slightly
13:10
different and it doesn't have to be like something mega,
13:12
it can be something small. As
13:14
long as you're doing that, that'll help you break through the
13:20
I haven't met a master who wasn't a perfectionist.
13:22
I just have to be honest with you. And
13:25
are they happy? Well,
13:29
no, but their game isn't happiness.
13:32
Yeah, their game. So when
13:34
I mentor the elite athletes, when
13:36
I mentor the world
13:39
class built business builders, entertainment
13:42
royalty, are they happy?
13:44
Mostly no, but
13:46
their game isn't happiness. The elite athletes, for example,
13:48
or the super
13:50
entrepreneurs, they're not
13:52
interested in happiness. They are
13:55
interested in mastery. And
13:58
so I think about Michelangelo for. years
14:01
to create the ceiling of the
14:03
Sistine Chapel. I don't think Michelangelo
14:06
was interested in happiness. I think he wanted
14:08
to push beauty and magic into the world.
14:11
I don't know if Steve Jobs was happy, but
14:14
I don't think his game was happiness. His
14:17
game was world-class. People
14:20
must think when you are mentoring these
14:23
people, billionaires, CEOs, elite
14:25
athletes, you know, surely
14:27
they've got it all. Why do they need your
14:29
help? You know, they're rich. You
14:32
know, they've got everything from our
14:35
point of view kind of thing. That's
14:37
exactly what the Wealth Money Camp I is
14:39
all about. They're rich of money
14:42
and material
14:44
things, but many
14:47
of them have poverty, of
14:49
peace, joyfulness,
14:53
family connections, purpose. Many of
14:55
these people suffer
14:59
from imposter syndrome. They
15:02
have what looks like everything and
15:04
people look up to them and put them on
15:06
pedestals and they just feel
15:08
they don't deserve it. They have deservability
15:10
issues. Where does that come from?
15:14
Well, okay. Where does it
15:16
come from? Well,
15:20
I think wherever you go, there
15:22
you are. That's the Zen proverb.
15:25
So if you're insecure at the beginning, you'll
15:27
be insecure on the mountain top. And
15:30
so I think the point really is, again, I want
15:32
to be really clear, the fifth form of wealth in
15:35
the book is money. There's nothing wrong with money. There's
15:37
nothing wrong with nice things. Personally, I'd rather stay in
15:39
a nice hotel room than a fleabag
15:41
hotel. There's nothing wrong.
15:43
So it's the fifth form of wealth.
15:46
There's 25 chapters on how the
15:48
billionaires do it and I've deconstructed their
15:50
mindsets and habits, et cetera. But
15:53
there are a lot of rich people and money is
15:56
all they have. And so what
15:58
I'm really trying to do with this is
16:00
remind people there are seven other forms
16:02
of wealth that when we feed them
16:04
we find we are not
16:09
only successful in the world, we're successful with ourselves.
16:11
I mean what's the point of getting to the
16:13
last hour of your last day? And you
16:16
survey how you've lived and
16:19
you say wow I was successful in the world, I
16:21
did what society said I should do, I made a
16:23
fair amount of money, I got lots
16:25
of social media likes, I won
16:27
the race the world told me to win and I'm
16:31
completely empty. I mean Leo Tolstoy wrote
16:33
a short story called The Death of
16:36
Ivan Illich. Ivan Illich got to the
16:38
end of his life and he said what if my whole life
16:41
was a lie? To
16:43
me that's the definition of heartbreak, you get
16:45
to the end of your life and you
16:47
say wow I lived my neighbor's life not
16:50
my life. Yeah I
16:52
love how in the book you talk
16:54
about eating your last supper today. Can
16:58
you talk me through that? Well
17:01
I think as human beings we
17:03
are species of great postponers. We
17:07
fall into a cognitive trap
17:09
of thinking we have all the time in the world when even
17:13
the longest life is a very short ride
17:15
and before we know it even the longest
17:17
living person will be dust in
17:19
an urn on a mantle
17:21
next to some football trophies over
17:23
a fireplace and so
17:25
that chapter eat your last
17:27
supper first. Hey
17:31
I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently I asked Mint Mobile's
17:33
legal team if big wireless companies are allowed
17:35
to raise prices due to inflation. They said
17:37
yes and then when I asked if raising
17:39
prices technically violates those onerous to your contracts
17:42
they said what the are you talking about
17:44
you insane Hollywood ass. So to recap we're
17:46
cutting the price of Mint unlimited from $30
17:48
a month to just $15 a month. Give
17:50
it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.
17:55
Forty five dollars upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month new customers
17:57
on first three month plan only taxes and fees extra speed slower
17:59
above. 40 gigabyte CD tails. When
18:02
it comes to weight loss, no two
18:04
people are the same. That's why Noom
18:06
builds personalized plans based on your unique
18:08
psychology and biology. Take Britney. After
18:10
years of unsustainable diets, Noom helped her
18:13
lose 20 pounds and keep it off.
18:15
I was definitely in a yo-yo cycle
18:17
for years of just losing
18:19
weight, gaining weight, and it was exhausting.
18:21
And Stephanie, she's a former D1 athlete
18:24
who knew she couldn't out train her
18:26
diet, and she lost 38 pounds. My
18:29
relationship to food before Noom was
18:32
never consistent. And Evan, he can't stand
18:34
salads, but he still lost 50 pounds
18:36
with Noom. I never really was
18:38
a salad guy. That's just not who I
18:40
am. Even through the pickiness, Noom taught me

It's an idea to connect you to your mortality
19:07
and remind you of the shortness of life. Ask
19:10
yourself, what do I want as my Last Supper? And eat it
19:12
today. But the larger point
19:14
is remind yourself that life is short. And
19:18
so, okay, you want to
19:20
do something? Don't worry so much about rejection.
19:23
Don't hold back the love you want to give.
19:25
Don't hold back being the person that
19:27
you want to be. Because
19:29
society often says, well, don't talk
19:31
about mortality. It's negative. I actually
19:34
think talking about mortality is super
19:37
positive. Because once you
19:39
really realize that life is short and
19:42
your days are numbered, you live to the
19:44
point. You don't fool around with your phone.
19:47
You don't spend time with people who bring
19:49
you down. You don't dabble
19:51
in trivial pursuits. If
19:53
I'm lucky, I'm very healthy.
19:57
Yet, Abby, if I'm lucky, I have 25 summers. This
20:00
is my 25 summers decision
20:02
matrix. When I think about
20:04
an opportunity or how I'm spending my days
20:06
or I receive an invitation, I ask myself,
20:08
okay, I have 25 summers left. That's
20:11
so scary, isn't it, when you think of it like that? 25 summers. Imagine
20:15
it, or you have 30 summers or 40 Christmases.
20:18
That's, I think, a great way to look
20:20
at life. And then you say, my time
20:22
is short. I better do the things
20:24
that are most important to me versus saying, oh,
20:27
I'll do it in some idealized
20:29
future when I have more time and the kids
20:31
are older. Yeah. My dad and
20:33
husband are very, my dad lives it like
20:35
a simple life. And he is the
20:37
happiest man, literally on the planet.
20:40
He gets up, he does like a five-mile
20:42
walk. Then he comes back, has some lunch,
20:44
potters about, meets his friend, has
20:46
a pint, goes home, has his dinner, watch TV,
20:49
and goes to bed. And he does that every
20:51
day. And he's like, if I die tomorrow, I've
20:54
got such a happy life. I've had such a happy life.
20:56
And the same with my husband. He
20:58
was like, if I die tomorrow, I've
21:00
had a great life. I don't feel
21:03
that way. And that kind of, that
21:06
no regrets kind of thing, or
21:08
I've accomplished everything I wanted
21:10
to accomplish. And I think, recognizes
21:14
that makes you change how
21:16
you live each day. And you want
21:18
to bet yourself. I
21:20
think you've said a few things that are
21:23
already germinating within me. First of all, I
21:25
think it was so wonderful
21:28
what you said about your husband, that when I talked
21:30
about the 10,000 dinners rule, you
21:33
said, I'd like to spend a million. I
21:35
mean, that's extraordinary. That's true. It's
21:38
extraordinarily special and
21:40
inspiring for me. And the second
21:42
thing you said about your father, which
21:46
makes the point, which is, simplicity
21:49
is one of the richest forms
21:51
of life. And then the third
21:53
thing that I'm hearing you saying, that's really, I'm going
21:56
to really consider it over tonight and over the next
21:58
few days. But I think... I think
22:00
that's profound, which is if you say, if
22:03
I checked out tomorrow, I've
22:06
lived a great life, that's
22:09
rich. That is
22:11
super rich. That's super rich. Super rich.
22:14
What a great way to ask yourself, am
22:17
I living my truest life
22:19
and my finest life? We
22:22
did not raise revenue for a very long time because
22:25
we were building the product, we were investing in the
22:28
community because we had to build the tech and the
22:30
infrastructure because of the unknown unknowns, you don't know what
22:32
you don't know. So
22:34
we had a lot of work to do in terms of
22:36
building that. And that
22:38
takes time and that takes learning and that takes
22:40
iteration, get it wrong, do it again, get it
22:42
wrong, do it again. But,
22:45
and so it's not the same for
22:47
every business, but definitely my advice would
22:49
always be, if you are building
22:52
a company wherever you can,
22:55
make sure that you are driving revenue from day one,
22:57
even if it's a small amount. If
23:00
one of our listeners has got a thousand pounds of their savings, what
23:02
are the first steps they should do? Right,
23:04
well the first thing is, you need to validate
23:06
whether you've got a business that you're building for
23:08
yourself or whether it's a business that other people
23:10
will use. Yeah,
23:12
whatever that might be. So other
23:15
people might be another business, you might be building like B2B
23:18
or other people might be a consumer
23:20
facing market, but is it
23:22
a business? And the only
23:25
way to test that is to start
23:27
having interviews, conversations. I interviewed 200 women
23:29
before I launched Peanut. So what, are you just
23:31
going out and speaking to random people? I get
23:33
one woman to introduce me to another and get
23:35
me to introduce me to another. And so I
23:37
would ask her all these questions and you get
23:39
all of the feelings about whether they'd use it,
23:41
are they interested, are they skeptical, which bits don't
23:44
they like? Did they come back? All
23:46
of that. Yeah. And so you have to keep
23:48
doing that. So that's how I started. I asked
23:50
every single, and then I'd speak with her, can
23:52
you introduce me to another? By the end of
23:54
that process, when we came to launch, I had
23:56
200 women who would definitely download Peanut on launch.
23:58
If no one else did. You're 450,000 monthlies
24:00
in the first week. Yeah,
24:04
yeah. It was crazy. As
24:07
much as it was really challenging to launch
24:09
at that time, it was also
24:11
really exciting because there wasn't anything else. No
24:13
one was talking about these issues. So I
24:15
think it was really helpful that we could
24:18
tell our story. Storytelling is a huge part of
24:20
any business. And we could tell our story
24:22
and people wanted to get behind it. You have to be a
24:24
really bad person to not love peanut, right? That
24:26
makes you just fundamentally not nice. So
24:30
it was easy for people to get behind the concept
24:32
of, yeah, women want support, they need each other. And
24:34
so people would want to tell our story and we were able
24:36
to really spread the word,
24:38
go from there. But it
24:42
is astonishing how many people I meet who have a
24:44
business idea and I'm like, what's your route to market?
24:47
Don't know. It's the most important thing. There
24:49
are thousands of apps released to the App
24:51
Store every single day. There are thousands of
24:53
businesses launched every single month and most will
24:55
fail. And so how are you going
24:57
to make sure that people know who you are? How
25:00
are you going to make sure that people download your app? How are
25:02
you going to make sure that people want to engage with your product?
25:05
And almost you have to start there because
25:07
if you don't have that, it's going
25:09
to be really hard. You might build the most
25:11
stunning, beautiful product for an audience of one.
25:13
Yeah. And is it important
25:16
to have a
25:18
perfect exit plan when you go into these
25:20
investors? Because obviously, ultimately, they want the money
25:22
back. As you say, it's not a donation.
25:25
It's a return. They want a multiple. Your exit plan
25:27
has to be as strong as your
25:29
pitch. Totally. You want
25:31
to know whatever you're valuing
25:34
the business at today, what's it going to be
25:36
worth in two years, three years, four years, five
25:38
years, it's usually the cycle. But what are you
25:40
building towards and what are you looking to get
25:42
to? And that means that,
25:44
yes, you need to understand, is this a
25:46
company that's going to go public? Is this
25:48
a company that's going to be acquired? What
25:51
does that look like? Who else is in the
25:53
market? Who's analogous? What are the other examples that
25:55
you've seen? Are you the next Facebook? What
25:57
is that journey?
