[@RibelloMike]

I grew up watching fantasy factory, always idolized Rob and admired his ability to do so many cool things and enjoy freedom. I understand that it was just Tv and a has lot changed since then, but seeing Rob on this great path and sharing his story, has really resonated well with me. I truly will take a lot from this. Thank you for having him on your podcast.

[@Ouranos369]

38:38 "You gotta make all of your life disciplined to make any of it disciplined" absolutely learned this the hard way. And as he said the easiest way to be disciplined is to not have to be disciplined you make it a habit and its automatic. Atomic Habits is a great book for this. ❤

[@joey_ferrari24]

Chris, you are right up there with Rogan and Flagrant. Plus you have a cool English accent. That rules and so do you. Much love from Chicago!

[@LaniakeaLeathercrafts]

I'd argue he's even going beyond them as an interviewer

[@ornlu_the_wolf]

@@LaniakeaLeathercrafts Lol he's way better than Flagrant. No knee slapping and fake laughter here.

[@NoFeckingNamesLeft]

His episodes are more insightful than rogan on average but I miss rogan's laid back stoner format sometimes

Dont know why everybody's hating, I'm getting a ton of value from this!

[@debosantacruz3054]

What I took from this is .. make money save it , invest it then pay someone to outsource everything so you can focus on yourself

[@LTUharis93]

if that is all you took I suggest you listen again my friend.

[@nautiginger]

I love that Dyrdek has gone down the enlightenment path! I've always been a fan, but he was really about that hustle culture and I LOVE that he's chasing balance now! Was so surprised by this episode but related hard to it. Epic!

[@Jarede56]

Can’t believe this only has 45k views. More people need this masterclass in productivity.

[@diglearning5401]

So... The entire thing could be summarised by one line... "Live with intention." Am I dumb or did he speak a lot of nothing?

[@TheZogsvengali]

I’m 49 from Cincinnati. We drove to Dayton one day to skate at Colonel White high school I think it was called. Rob was there filming the first Alien Workshop video. I’ve seen lots of pro skaters live and Watching Rob work the props of his local spot was pretty special. Was glad to see him have so much success later in life.

[@lostboi2271]

Absolutely did NOT expect him as a guest, definitely exciting though

[@williamtaittinger4529]

Dude is a FRAUD and a HUGE SIMP. Imagine my shock when I see he is married to a 6. LOL Beyond pathetic.

[@TheZGALa]

There is much about Rob that inspires me greatly. I am fascinated by how this much structure can work...It strikes me that he has an ability to trust that I don't feel access to.

[@bladeMatster6]

“I’m not disciplined anymore, this is just how I live.” Boom.

[@BarabbasTheRedeemed]

Everything this man says sounds like a cliché from a youtube ad.

[@theonlybenbaker]

Cliches are cliches for a reason. Like stereotypes.

[@williameberle4250]

Spoken like one who has never tried to put the stuff into practice.

[@Ouranos369]

Ok if I just went according to the top hater comment I wouldn't have actually learned something. 27 minutes in and he may be a bit long winded but theres plenty of gems there. He says that the main reason he made money was he learnrd early on in life that time equals money and started focusing on how to acquire it. He says most people quit pretty quickly and another reason this guy is special is he never stops moving he doesn't back down or believe things to be undoable. Then he explains how hes streamlined his mind and life most successful people have learned that focus is extremely valuable and everything is always gonna want your attention so they delegate as much as possible. Now hes talking about how he makes other people's jobs easier for them with his incredible ability to frame things! I think thats his real super power I dont think people understand how much people wanna work with people who make it easier on them... so far really solid advice! I feel the people accused him of being long winded are just jelly. I mean no matter what knowledge and skills Rob has his situation is very unusual and has a dose of pure dumb luck because how does one guy take over mtv lol. You know he never like actually intended that he seems he was just enjoying his life. 😅

[@nateo1819]

Robs that efficient he has 6 conversations at once.

[@FrankieJ789]

Bro has been watching too many real estate gurus and motivational youtube clips.

[@unconventional_health]

Lol fr

[@homiesaywhat]

Rob is the original

[@jasonolinger7585]

Except he is richer than the gurus.

[@tukkajumala]

At least one of them has to have been right, if he somehow made 100 million dollars. Unless it is all a sham and he is just floating massive amounts of debt.

[@theonlybenbaker]

You’d be surprised how many super successful people are like him. FYI a lot of them are. They have to be.

[@TheZGALa]

I LOVE the idea of memory dividends. I've got great memories, and it does drive me to make more.

[@williameberle4250]

Williamson has outdone himself in asking the right questions. Absolutely loaded with useful hints. Looks to me like the haters are ALL people who have never tried to put this stuff into practice.

[@angelbrown1626]

Rob missed his calling as a scientist. He is really motivating me to step off the treadmill of self improvement and chasing goals so I can look at the data and get a real view of what's actually happening. Really geeking out right now!

[@mikestott8444]

Really dont get why the top comment is a hate. Robs philosophy is genius. He is the proof. His energy is inspiring. Furthermore he walks the talk

[@tarasg3993]

Almost seems like he is in manic state. I wish him the best in his career and life.

[@BennySalto]

This. Self aggrandising millionaire maniac talking about visualising the future. That is some rich people privilege right there. The easiest way to earn money is to start with capital. Uncontested science that is. There are billionaire's that are so stupid that they do the dumbest investment and still earn money below the line.. Has nobody paid attention the last decade?

Im a fan of rob.... im also 5 minutes in and dont want to keep listening to him. I think ive tainted my image of him enough. Ill call it there.

[@Starlight88131]

I haven’t heard of Rob before this episode. I got nothing out of this and this was the first episode of the podcast where I did NOT finish. Did not find this inspiring nor educational. I’m happy others were able to learn and found it useful. But this was a flop for me. Some parts of his life he automated (so that he can make the max amount the money) can bring immense joy and purpose to others. Such as cooking a meal, post production editing, going to the farmer’s market and meeting local farmers and discovering their products. If I didn’t know any better, it just sounds like he loves money (I will give benefit of the doubt he wants to give to his community and be in the service of others…)

[@theonlybenbaker]

We’re all not meant to be billionaires. That’s okay. We alll have different things that make us happy. This one wasn’t for you.

[@theonlybenbaker]

He loves achievement. He love building great things. He love efficiency. Money is just a measure if those things. Again, we all have different priorities.

[@AM2K2]

This guy will 100% be in a True Crime series in x amount of years...the 'data' will destroy his alibi.

[@portlandsamber]

Agree

[@williamtaittinger4529]

This dude is BEYOND pathetic. Imagine the shock when once he realize he's been raising the poolboy's kids. LOL. P.S.: kudos to her wife for enduring him this long to use his money. I couldn't spend five minutes before laying this SIMP in one punch.

[@TheZGALa]

It sounds like a lot of time/energy/money on assessments, tracking, and sensors. Fascinating!

[@TheSocialAIHub]

Anyone have any recommendations for an app that tracks everything you do like Rob talks about in this?

[@Lordofthereee_]

The crossover we didn't know we needed

[@OnekamaProducts]

Be genuine and authentic to yourself, rethink the idea planted within you that you need to make loads of money. All we really have is time so spend it wisely. I quit my office job and work part time at a museum and work part time outdoors as a property assessor. I may not be able to afford a house or a new car but I have loads of free time to pursue my passions and my “jobs” don’t feel like work to me. I am considered low income but I am blessed compared to a majority of the world’s population. It is possible people, move to the countryside.

[@carolspencer6915]

Good evening Chris and Rob 100% YIP YIP AND YIP. Relatable and insightful. Thankyou for sharing. Rock Bottom To Mountain Top. Is my current venture and goal. Appreciate you both. 💜

I feel like you are interviewing cookie monster. What do you do in the morning? Bro I do what gets me ready for destiny, whatever is shiny and happy and makes me smile, thats what i do. This Rob is great. But this is exactly what I expected from a serious podcast of a guy who has more energy and follows his craziness more than just common sense. And dont get me wrong, Rob and Big was the funniest show on the planet. but this is nuts.

[@SirBoden]

This is what happens when you read too many self-help books, and watch nothing but infomercials.

[@JonnyCook]

Yes, if they actually worked.

[@andrewhooper7603]

He sounded like chatgpt, it it was trained solely on self-help, lol.

[@riffism]

Reminds me of trying to talk to a speed freak. Rob is so manic in his delivery. I made it 15 minutes, but I couldn’t hang any longer. He said a lot of words…but said very little specific

[@kinglewy5099]

Hi Chris thanks for all you do. Love all your stuff. ❤

[@MTK9209]

It's interesting to hear from someone that is living this way, but all this talk of "optimization" sounds like a pretty exhausting, joyless life. Daily habits are important, but being overly rigid with everything is no way to live for most of us.

[@NoFeckingNamesLeft]

Plus continually asking yourself and quantifying how happy you are is a path to misery for most people, never mind having your spouse continually grade you. Most people could benefit from some of this but the benefit probably plateaus at like 10% of this guy's effort.

[@kastelvetro1491]

he's exhuating to listen too, he was a c list skater at best and for a short short time. he got lucky his whole life, free sponsership due to friends, then he moves into a house where the roomate is dating the owner of dc shoes. then he gets on mtv he owes his life to a free handout for c list talent and skateboarding.

[@theonlybenbaker]

There’s a lot people in these comments who strive to be mediocre, and that’s okay. But, don’t knock him for striving to be extraordinary.

[@MikeyBeckstrand]

Great insight! I was shocked seeing the negative comments. I appreciate you explaining where they’re coming from && I appreciate your positive perspective on it! Seriously, it just validates Rob so much more. .. Rob’s on a remarkable path (harmonizing his optimal personal life with extreme output that is backed / driven with data) and he makes the time to explain things he’s doing / learning so that it’s much more accessible for others to have what he’s found is so great (and Chris is helping bring it to us!). I’m super grateful that this video (and others like it) exist.. and I’m also grateful for positive commenters 🙂

[@johnvee5337]

I remember genuinely enjoying the early seasons of Rob & Big and have generally found Rob’s public persona to be likable, even endearing. With that said, this episode was an absolute gong show. First, his style of speaking was friggin grating and utterly disjointed to say the least. The guy said “like” probably 400 times in that episode and couldn’t make a succinct and coherent point to save his life. Second, his “qualitative system” for measuring his life sounded wack. Mostly just confused and cobbled together bits of other self help types - Ferriss, Holiday, James Clear, with a smattering of Rhonda Byrne. Does the world really need another person slanging this banal, repackaged productivity pornography? Finally, his story about meeting his wife was thermonuclear grade cringe. “She swam with dolphins in Hawaii. This IS my wife. Let’s take a helicopter to go rescue some dogs.” Oh yeah this sounds like a guy I should buy an overpriced Google sheet from that’ll teach me how to qualitatively optimize my grind and help me “sell some businesses” and ultimately manifest a playboy model. I have enjoyed Chris’ show for awhile and think he’s an interesting and thoughtful guy. But this episode should have ended up on the cutting room floor.

[@blubblurb]

Kind of agree, though I found the thought interesting to start from the end and plan backwards. Though I don't think it works most of the time (most plan never work out) I think it's still a good idea in terms of life.

[@Ouranos369]

People are so fricken biased against him just because he is so successful. I see your point but it's not his fault these typical productivity advice actually works. Also how did he not make a coherent point when you were able to name James Clear etc? 🤦‍♀️ The reason he's trying to "repackage" advice is everyone is probably always asking him how to be successful and he's not a fricken guru ! he's just a guy with incredible luck, good frame of mind, and consistency in action who works hard and even makes things easier for others. People want a magical formula for his success but it doesn't exist lol that's what you really should have realized from this. It is interesting and absolutely deserves to be viewed. This guy is an anomaly in the matrix that is our reality. Hater 😂

Hormones. Men and women are more influenced by stress, unconscious psychological triggers, and female cycles than we think. Hormonal balance and endocrine system are certainly playing a major role in mood, energy, and focus levels.

[@chuckleezodiac24]

you gotta evolve into the clarity, you know where you're not sure about if it's like going to work but you like make it work by doing the work and some of the work doesn't work so then i'm going to do all of that and balance my rhythm to get stopped from going through this high & low lifestyle and do all of that by beginning to balance what i need to balance in order to build this balanced life and boy, it was clear with like so much energy with like my wife and getting all of this going but some things were working and not working and then like you don't even know and then like it was like i don't even know if this is going to work, you know, and then boom the entire thing began to be realized from that point forward but back to the question at hand is that i like took the time to get super clear in the design of living that life but i had like the clarity from the very beginning, you know so that the more you understand it along the way you can know which direction you're going and evolve into it and get more clarity about how you may not be able to do it but then you'll like you know get a wife from Playboy.

You’ve never had money. Lol when you’re a man who’s achieved his success, his wealthy is apart of him. The same way someone would be with him for his personality or looks, his money is a representa who he is. My uncle is a multimillionaire. He dates girls half his age. He’s told me several times: They’re with me for my money and I’m with them for their body. What’s understood doesn’t have to be explained.

I kinda get it. He wants to have a very specific defined level of huge success. Great. But personally I'm so happy not having millions and having the free flow life I have. He says he doesn't have to think about things by having everything scripted and run through protocols, but he's consistently having to refine his processes that he's doing that mind effort to not have the mind effort. Fair play, but totally not me!

[@andrewendowy1229]
