Why were you talking about your reading and golf habits? Nothing worse than an interview where the host is wasting valuable time(ironically!!) Speaking about themselves. Especially with obvious humble bragging. Hope this reads as a constructive criticism, I'm sure you'd feel the same watching an interview with someone you had interest in.
I have alot of respect for Laird, I have been following him since I was a very young lad and he seems to have paved the way for modern day big-wave surfing. Extreme feats seem to often attract extreme personalities. I respect Laird and Kelly both alot because the value that they place on physical fitness, hence which is why these guys perform the way they do at their age.
The military - we make our rack first thing in the morning because of discipline. It's the first thing that you must accomplish of the day. It gives you pride and encourages you to perform more positive tasks. If you can't handle a small mundane task, you would not be able to handle the major obstacles appropriately. When you are a military "operator" or "engineer" and fail in the mission of the day (and you do not die) at least you have a fresh rack to sleep in at your quarters.
I agree with everything but the fiction. It fuels the brain with imagination, creativity and its a great release from the worries of the day. I find people who cut out fiction and entertainment to be (not always) boring, way too serious and have no sense of humor or sarcasm.
Also a lot of good and useful information can be delivered in narrative form in a way that often isn't possible in other ways, plus it can help you to remember certain things. Good fictional novels are full of philosophy, psychology, allegory etc.
Many great parables in the Bible: I listen to Alexander Scourby on my iPhone: King James Version: a symphony of language to listen to while in my car or walking.
Interesting cat. Imo I think he’s listening to his body and just giving it what it wants and needs. Not just his body but his mind also. I like the way he thinks.
I have the exact same routine as Laird....get up 5:30 AM, shower, hydrate w Himalayan salt, make my bed, drink smoothie with expresso, do dishes, read, but somehow dont look like him 😊
Well, millions of us can't have all the things he has in his life. Many of us don't have love, spouse, children, fame, etc. But everyone can strive to be as fit as possible, live a clean healthy life, be a productive good citizen, and have contentment.
Laird Hamelton. Real Enjoyed this Sort video of you an talking about Yr life an fitness. An how you start of Yr day. Real Enjoyable listening to you talking about your life. 🍀💪💪🍀
I like it. Best info advice I ever read is to ignore your email emergencies first, set daily goals to work from first, drink your coffee and plan your attack plan. Start with priorities first and then tackle any BS that side track your daily goals.
The Linear day story got lost at Training. What time do you start trainig and what did you do Laird? That is what we wanted. Did you rest again. Did you eat plant food. What did you eat? What time did you get to bed?
To each his/her own, but I prefer Laird Hamilton to a David Goggins type guy. He seems more balanced, less angry, has less to prove. He seems to be enjoying himself. Awesome.
I took a different path than him, but I see life the same way as him. The part about not reading fiction, I can relate. I never read it or watch movies, its all a waste of time. But no matter what life you lead, being physically fit is a necessity.
We have very similar schedule and lifestyle, the best part is for me anyways, its not forced I enjoy doing it... I think though the putting down of reading fiction is kind of ridiculous.. you are reading period.. sparking the creative part of your brain is still winning... again comes down to preference. I used to feel "guilty" reading fiction instead of my usual self improvement books but there is a balance.
Thank you for watching Andrew! 🙏 Hope you're subscribed...Here's the next video I recommend: "Why There's No Overnight Success" th-cam.com/video/4UtGHXkGCxk/w-d-xo.html
Never thought he was a Maniac.. I hoped he was a more natural and relaxed...that task completion drama its just madness.... so goodluck with that routine...just interested in the phisical aspect which is the primary or should been the objective of this video... anyway Ill rate it a 6... cheeers
@@BehindtheBrand I had the habit of winding down at night by watching movies. Then I decided to replace the movie watching with reading fiction or entertaining non-fiction that is not related to my daily activities. I sleep better and fell better since I made the change.
Totally agree..fiction is a great journey for the mind and a great use for the imagination. I assume he is not a very creative/artistic person and has a more utilitarian mind set and that's why he doesn't do fiction.
Steven Sal Debus guys...please hear me on this: FICTION is amazing. To be clear, I feel guilty spending so much time on it when I feel like I have business to take care of. I feel the same way about 5 hours on the golf course....all that walking, swinging, focus and fresh air is probably a great use of time...it’s just hard to mentally make the time when I have work deadlines and other stuff that feels like it should be higher priority.
Laird, you and your wife a legends in the fitness world. I used to surf alot but now I'm an old man of 67 and am feeling it. I need to do something to get fit again. What do you advise? Thanks and aloha !
Laird would probably say start with getting more sleep and look closely at your diet and exercise routines. That was his answer to me when I asked the same questions.
I was watching this while I was waiting in my Lamborghini for my girlfriend to finish her modelling job. Really good interview, great to see someone down to earth and not caught up with material possessions like most idiots these days.
Good vid. Taking care of his health - he speaks of physical and mental but not spiritual. I start my day with water, stretching and meditating. I have been cross training all 3 components. Laird, listen to yourself - on the wheel of reading, each spoke represents a different genre and we need all the spokes to be complete :). Go ahead and read some fiction!
Patriot, Thanks for playing God and judging others. Don't forget - I love you and so does God. You and I (and all others) are children of God/Higher Power. God has blessed me with Love. I wish the same for You! Peace and Big waves!
I'd offer that some fiction (Try Ursula Le Guin for example) is so stimulating because the author is so in touch with fact-based ideas, that it just becomes hugely stimulating to read. Great hearing L H s routine :)
Nice :) Yet to read that! I was reading The Dispossessed when I posted and fell in love with it - it was so though provoking! ...btw, this is the top comment at the mo, if anyone's reading this, I THINK Mr Hamilton says he doesn't like reading fiction, and that's why I posted this?!
LOL! it's OK, not a big deal, just wanted to know why..... - BTW, great interview :) I don't know why so many trivial, derogatory and negative comments here... good job doing the interview, love your channel, very insightful! :)
Big wave riders need to wear Go-Pro's on the body more to bring the RAW experience of what it is like from start to finish in those kine of size waves, only a very few percentage of surfers will ever surf big waves..so bringing the on board experience to vid viewers would be a great gift.
Laird could not be more on point.... Genesis 1:7 said that the Creator blew into the mans nostrils and he became a living soul or person. In the original language used in Hebrew the term ‘soul’ (nephesh) literally means ‘air breather’ or ‘breathing creature’, the ‘soul’ is the ‘breath’ and when we stop breathing we cease to exist....
As a long time surfer, I have always admired Laird Hamilton. This interview destroyed that - he just looks silly now. Brand destroyed in a core market, but for fitness freaks and supplement suckers, it's only just begun. And that's where the money is - selling fictional benefits to people who have trusted you because of your previous achievement. But if your life is only about making money, hey you're winning!
Hard to start.......same as anything. Too many here blaming a 9 to 5 job they choose to keep.Ditched mine for less money,better health and real happiness.
Leave your bed undone for a period so as to let the body stuff from your last sleep dry die and evaporate then make your bed. Don't make a hot/sweaty bed.
I do not agree with “no fiction.” Like Laird, I’m a process oriented person. I like completion of tasks. Fiction allows my mind to rest and not suffer the burn out I used to.
Agreed, fiction is a great source of inspiration, escape, relaxation and more. The point we were making is that we often feel guilty taking hours and hours in fiction because it feels indulgent compared to when we read non-fiction the feels more educational. This is why i personally like to consume my fiction in TV (30 min.) or movies (90 min.).
3000 years of philosophy to come to..this...Human beings cold as machines obsessed with numbers,success and themselves. Bryan Eliott :"its a waste of my time to read unproductive..."Ahah and if tomorrow you die smashed by a car?Your lives seem to be so sad, i don envy you at all.Where did the poetry& the beauty go?
adlabbio you might be missing my point, which is: I don’t read fiction because I feel guilty doing it...it feels like a waste of time-like a 5 hour game of golf. I consume my fiction via movies.
Behind the Brand It’s visible and audible in the way you write and speak. Your (applied) vocabulary seems rather flat and unimaginative, simply because you don’t allow yourself to be influenced by creative works of writing that go beyond the factual world. So if you need more incentive than just “because it’s great” to start consuming more than just movies, here goes: 1) It expands your vocabulary 2) It trains cognitive functions like memory (you can’t forget what you just read) and producing visual imagery through words 3) It allows you to improve your journalistic work by moving from regurgitating facts to sharing a compelling story 4) Reading before bed time instead of watching a movie (especially on a mobile device) allows your brain to relax and regulate production of melatonin so that you can sleep more regularly Also, think of movies in terms of food. A movie is a ready-made meal, with highly refined ingredients. A Transformers movie is like a McDonald’s supersized meal with an overdose of sugar and salt, whereas a Meryl Streep movie may be a Caesar salad, but still with mayonnaise and awful croutons. A book will be much simpler, although 50 shades of grey will still be nothing more than a frankfurter (with curry but without a bun), but something by Shakespeare is a perfectly cooked wagyu beef steak with wild mushrooms and a seaweed salad. Why do you supersize the food for your brain while exercising your body? Would you like to be a driveling idiot when you’re eighty while you can still bench press 200lbs?
OTT, well balanced diet, exercise etc= healthy life, genetics have loads to do with it also, some people are born lucky, trying to work a normal job and do all this, not going to happen
Ahhh , Laird my first marijuana cigarette... Princeville , Kauai..... just before the school bus picked us up.... I don't know if I should love you or hate you......
Ok here we go....I wake up at 5-30 then throw the alarm clock up the wall and go back to sleep....wake up about midday....eat some really unhealthy food drink some coffee. Lockdown life is great!!

@@BehindtheBrand Yes sir! Laird seems like such a great guy. The guy is a warrior, you don't have to fight or be a war vet to see that in his eyes. He is a benevolent fierce protector who happens to surf for his livelihood. I'm a soon to be unknown pro mma cage fighter. This profile picture is for a silly & comedic effect. Lol If I'm successful, I wish to use the platform to speak life into us all. My sport environment is riddled with thuggery. I'd like to make a dent in this and promote a different message, especially to youth. Take care!
It does get a little annoying hearing this stuff from guys who won't get called out of town for work and put in 10-14 hour days for a fes weeks or show up home directly from work as their kids are getting ready for school.
it's fair to say it sounds that way but this is an interview about him and his story. In my experience most professional athletes like Laird and Gabby have to be laser focused on themselves...their fitness/food routines etc. to stay at the top. Think about Michael Phelps and his his training program...I'm sure nothing short of some limited family/friend time came between him and his workouts during his Olympic years.

I need to get on this task completion routine because where I stand right now, I’m not completing shit.
Ha! Well, best time to start is now. Good for you Sandra!
It’s probably because you’re just standing where you are right now
Start now and take baby steps so you don't get overwhelmed!
Damn!! Couldn't have said that better!! You nailed it!
We learn by associating with inspirational people.
Hydration in the morning. So nice to hear. Laird makes a big point on this. Nice video

Love this! Great to have a healthy daily routine and continue to grow! Thanks!
laird is so intense! love it ! thanks and keep up the good work man!
Interesting..."Let's make it linear" . This what savvy interviewer says to a guy who he can tell has a mind that's everywhere at once.
i admire his hair.
Sick flow, unreal at that age.
The end of this clip reminds me of a Jordan Peterson quote: "Compare Yourself To Who You Were Yesterday, Not To Who Someone Else Is Today."
That is an awesome quote!
This session was brief but very impactful!! Love it!
Add meditation in your training... Peace
Lots of sun! Everyone forgets about the sun, but it plays a major part!
It also helps not having a 9 to 5 job to go to 5 x a week
true
People decide that they are old, still time to change your mind
Or working a 2nd job while working that 9-5 it’s tough for us
Laird love it . Never knew how you did your day but . I start my day the same before training in morning
thanks for watching Corey
Love it Believe it and live it!!!
Yes!
laird is the king, i adore him

Much appreciated Thomas
"Eating..." - shows picture of Laird eating, "Hydrating..." - shows picture of Laird underwater
nailed it.
Great tips and reminders and taking responsibility for ones healthy daily
Fiction has been proven to improve empathy.
I like it. Best info advice I ever read is to ignore your email emergencies first, set daily goals to work from first, drink your coffee and plan your attack plan. Start with priorities first and then tackle any BS that side track your daily goals.
u know ,because life is not about goals - only An Ego has goals but the Soul is more about fulfilling your potential and be the best u can be .

Laird is the exact opposite of a soy boy.
fact.

Yes they call him The Tofu King 😋
Soy is a bean you moron. Better than sucking down estrogen dense breast milk from a lactating cow.

Water and Himalayan salt? Whats all that about and in what quantity??

It's stupid to ignore fiction/novels. Some of life's greatest truths are communicated through fiction.
I don't disagree, it's just difficult to spend large amounts of time on it

“Reading words makes me feel guilty.” Fucking hilarious.
The thumbnail picture for the video is misleading... thought he was practicing or working out with Kelly Slater... :/
sorry about that...i thought this was a great representation of two guys well over 40 yrs old who are still charging hard.
LOL! it's OK, not a big deal, just wanted to know why..... -
BTW, great interview :)
I don't know why so many trivial, derogatory and negative comments here... good job doing the interview, love your channel, very insightful! :)
cmon guys what is your life ,maybe you should enjoy it and not worry so much remember that we dont have very long ,so dont waste it.
Big wave riders need to wear Go-Pro's on the body more to bring the RAW experience of what it is like from start to finish in those kine of size waves, only a very few percentage of surfers will ever surf big waves..so bringing the on board experience to vid viewers would be a great gift.
good idea

In the original language used in Hebrew the term ‘soul’ (nephesh) literally means ‘air breather’ or ‘breathing creature’, the ‘soul’ is the ‘breath’ and when we stop breathing we cease to exist....
Tip 1, MIND, how do you breath etc!?
Hey Scott, Laird has some videos dedicated specifically to breathing techniques...just search on TH-cam and you'll find them.
note: making half a bed is not task completion
You're half correct.
Lol

Clear nothing is happening in your life, work on that! The bitterness will kill you
I agree, not his best interview, too much stammering and loss of train of thought. Maybe he paid the guy to do the interview to promote his products.
I think it's the vaccine
It's easy when you're not doing the 9-5 grind.
Agreed, but even if we did 10-20% of this we'd be so much better off
It's easy when you're not doing the 11-2pm grind
No, not really, it comes down to discipline
Hard to start.......same as anything. Too many here blaming a 9 to 5 job they choose to keep.Ditched mine for less money,better health and real happiness.
He would have been a great accountant.
Great video! Numerous correlations to my everyday routine.
glad to hear it
You wake up, make bed, shower, eat and clean up after yourself? I gotta try that, is this a new fad?
That ... That's a really nice couch.
it was comfy
this guys seems so smart and yet so inarticulate
Was thinking the same exact thing. Well put.

Behind the Brand It’s visible and audible in the way you write and speak. Your (applied) vocabulary seems rather flat and unimaginative, simply because you don’t allow yourself to be influenced by creative works of writing that go beyond the factual world. So if you need more incentive than just “because it’s great” to start consuming more than just movies, here goes:
1) It expands your vocabulary
2) It trains cognitive functions like memory (you can’t forget what you just read) and producing visual imagery through words
3) It allows you to improve your journalistic work by moving from regurgitating facts to sharing a compelling story
4) Reading before bed time instead of watching a movie (especially on a mobile device) allows your brain to relax and regulate production of melatonin so that you can sleep more regularly
Also, think of movies in terms of food. A movie is a ready-made meal, with highly refined ingredients. A Transformers movie is like a McDonald’s supersized meal with an overdose of sugar and salt, whereas a Meryl Streep movie may be a Caesar salad, but still with mayonnaise and awful croutons. A book will be much simpler, although 50 shades of grey will still be nothing more than a frankfurter (with curry but without a bun), but something by Shakespeare is a perfectly cooked wagyu beef steak with wild mushrooms and a seaweed salad. Why do you supersize the food for your brain while exercising your body? Would you like to be a driveling idiot when you’re eighty while you can still bench press 200lbs?

It does get a little annoying hearing this stuff from guys who won't get called out of town for work and put in 10-14 hour days for a fes weeks or show up home directly from work as their kids are getting ready for school.

it's fair to say it sounds that way but this is an interview about him and his story. In my experience most professional athletes like Laird and Gabby have to be laser focused on themselves...their fitness/food routines etc. to stay at the top. Think about Michael Phelps and his his training program...I'm sure nothing short of some limited family/friend time came between him and his workouts during his Olympic years.
