I seem to have a lot of people at my current job single me out, and I am only focused on doing my job responsibilities and be respectful towards other that are respectful to me, and still I have a lot of people try to make up lies and spread lies about me, (I’m not victimizing myself, I’m describing the aura that people are some type of way as long as a Co. is behind the ill behavior, and if the Co. is not then people say one thing on here but in real life you are not part of 1st principles type of conversation,
The man was a quote machine and reading his letters to his mum when he was at Boarding School tells a lot about how his attitude was formed, yet his adherence to action and the resilience he appeared to have empowered the citizens with during his years in office are the definition of integrity - even if another one of his great quotes is “I’ve gotten more out of Alcohol than it’s taken from me” ❤
The way PBD can recall different authors, entrepreneurs, and intellectualls is remarkable. Also, his superb ability to tell different stories to perfectly coincide with his points is fascinating. Chris is a incredible host. He asks questions at the best times and keeps me engaged every moment. There is a reason why this is my favorite podcast show. Whew, the amount of wisdom on this one!
Nooo, I think PBD picked the Host brain, PBD seems to be the interviewer & gets to the point w/his analysis & wit. Definitely keeps you interested w/his knowledge & insight. 👍🏽 Great job.
Chris, you’re knocking it out of the park recently with these guests. It’s not just the guests themselves, but your ability to connect with them and have such meaningful conversations that seem to bring out the best from both of you. Nobody can truly do you but you. Keep being yourself mate! Thanks for all the content!
Can't believe I started this to watch for a short time and could never put it down and was sad when it was over. So powerful and well done!!!! Thank you gentlemen!!!
Chris is spot on about not feeling the need to contribute to noise, and only to the signal on topics that he isn’t prepared or wanting to engage with. That is admirable. I wish more commentators would stay in their lane. We have WAY TOO MUCH NOISE.
I mean he literally keeps asking the same questions about men and women in dating where he will get the sameish answers or straight up just contradict himself from the last time he talked about it, and hes obviously doing it for views as well.
Pbd is one of my favourite communicators, if not my fav! The way he is able to answer to questions by using stories is a top skill many would like to learn!
What a fantastic interview. Thank you! I had the epiphany while working on the MTV Cribs Team. Traveling the country helping to produce shows in mansions while living in a studio apt in NYC at that time was getting to me at first. I went thru the feelings of feeling jealous, envious, what about me thoughts, and then I started to realize that I was rich/wealthy because I had friends and family that truly loved me and had "my back". Meanwhile I was meeting celebrities or very wealthy people who were not even sure who their real friends were. I started to see some dysfunction. I started to see the disconnection and some people putting an act for the cameras and then looking depressed once the cameras were off. Definitely an eye opening experience. Grateful
Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to hear today on my journey. Both of you have beautiful minds and articulate your thoughts so well. I pray the two of you have continued success as I pray for my own strength and success in Life. Please keep sharing the Truth! It is so refreshing to hear!
Selfless vs selfish reminds me of one of my grandmothers. I learned from her that in order to take care of others I need to be able to support myself first and do so consistently; then I can more freely give to others and support them. Otherwise you can get caught in a vicious cycle of helping others and then need to be bailed out when things go rough for you.
00:00 🤔 Patrick Bet-David emphasizes the importance of having enemies to drive personal growth and success, even though many people may not openly admit to having them. 02:32 🗡 Churchill's story about the difference between "opposition" and "enemy" illustrates that often, our biggest obstacle is within ourselves, represented by our own thoughts and insecurities. 03:54 🗣 The voice inside our own heads can be a powerful enemy, shaping our beliefs and actions. It's important to recognize and manage this internal critic. 04:36 🧠 Patrick suggests that some individuals, like Alexander the Great, actively seek out enemies as a way to fuel their competitive drive and push themselves to achieve greater heights. 05:18 ❤ Love and having enemies share a common risk-reward dynamic. While love brings joy and fulfillment, it also carries the potential for heartbreak and pain. 07:54 👥 Having a formidable enemy can reveal a side of oneself that might be hidden, and this can be a transformative and powerful experience, akin to an "affair" with one's own potential. 08:18 🔥 Choosing one's enemies wisely is emphasized over simply having an enemy. This means selecting challenges that genuinely push and inspire growth, rather than succumbing to victimhood or entitlement. 16:59 📘 Patrick's book, "Choose Your Enemies Wisely," delves into the concept of using adversaries as a source of motivation and fuel for personal and professional growth. It's not just about competition, but about understanding and harnessing the power of enemies. 20:51 💡 Patrick Bet-David discusses the example of Kmart and Walmart from 1962, highlighting how Kmart initially dominated but eventually went out of business, while Walmart continued to thrive. 21:59 💡 Walmart, founded by Sam Walton, is highlighted for its immense success, with 2.3-2.5 million employees worldwide and Sam Walton's children being worth billions. 22:26 💡 The importance of balancing logic and emotion in decision-making is emphasized, with controlled emotion leading to a different level of success. 25:26 💡 Different leadership styles are discussed, with a distinction made between dominance-based and prestige-based leadership. 27:02 💡 The significanceof choosing enemies wisely is highlighted, with a caution against holding onto outdated enemies long after they've been overcome. 32:58 💡 The need for personal evolution and the danger of being driven by outdated enemies is emphasized, using the example of feminism's early focus on men as the enemy. 37:09 💡 The discussion shifts to the recent controversy surrounding the portrayal of Snow White in modern adaptations, with a caution against teaching young girls to fear male interest. 39:28 💡 Bob Iger's career choices and the potential impact of choosing the wrong enemies and allies are discussed, highlighting the importance of understanding your audience. 41:59 📚 Patrick Bet-David discusses the market's role in determining success and legitimacy, emphasizing that the market is a brutal but ultimately fair judge of products, businesses, and concepts. 43:51 💑 Bet-David reflects on the current dating culture, highlighting that it has become more transactional and easy, potentially leading to a devaluation of relationships. He emphasizes the importance of genuine connections and referrals in relationships. 55:46 🍍 Bet-David shares the story of the pineapple, illustrating how scarcity can artificially inflate the perceived value of an item. He emphasizes the need to distinguish between true value and the difficulty of obtaining something. 01:22:16 🎙 In podcasting, being a "triple threat" means excelling at great interviews, providing perspective and opinion, and being entertaining. 01:22:58 🤔 Listeners appreciate authenticity and conviction, even if opinions change over time. 01:23:25 💡 It's not necessary to comment on every current event. Consistency is important, but it's okay to focus on what aligns with your brand. 01:25:16 🌐 People are seeking alternative perspectives due to a decline in trust in mainstream media and institutions. 01:28:30 🤔 Rising skepticism and conspiracy thinking are a response to a lack of trust in traditional information sources. 01:29:49 💥 Mainstream media is facing a decline in trust, especially among younger generations. 01:31:41 🎬 Transitioning from traditional media to podcasting requires a different skill set, including the ability to engage viewers for extended periods. 01:39:11 🗣 Authentic, unscripted conversations hold a unique appeal for viewers, showcasing the true ability of a host or commentator. 01:40:17 💰 Immigrants' success in America often stems from a strong work ethic and a drive to overcome challenges. This contrasts with some born into wealth who may not have the same sense of urgency. 01:42:31 🏦 Patrick Bet-David discusses the importance of estate planning and involving children in wealth management decisions. 01:43:13 🗣 Few families have open conversations about wealth transfer and criteria for inheritance, which can lead to unprepared heirs. 01:45:05 🚀 Bet-David highlights the tension between providing opportunities for children and allowing them to face hardships for personal growth. 01:46:01 💰 Bet-David discusses how certain policies, like incentivizing single motherhood, have impacted American society and family structures. 01:46:44 👪 He emphasizes the importance of setting standards and expectations for children's behavior and achievements within a family. 01:48:19 🗳 Bet-David proposes the idea of allowing younger individuals who contribute to society through work and taxes to vote, even at a younger age. 01:49:01 🌐 He contrasts the immigrant mindset of earning and striving for success with some American-born individuals who may have a sense of entitlement due to certain policies. 01:52:14 🏠 Bet-David shares his vision of multi-generational housing, highlighting the benefits of having extended family members living close by. 01:53:42 📚 Bet-David acknowledges the role of both encouragement and high standards in shaping an individual's character and work ethic. 02:00:42 🤔 He discusses the significance of shouldering responsibility and the challenges that come with being a leader. 02:02:07 💼 The burden of managing finances, payroll, and expenses in business can be overwhelming, but it's essential for stability. 02:02:35 💪 Around 500 key individuals work tirelessly to ensure the safety and stability of the world, allowing us to function in relative peace. 02:03:02 🏛 Being a president is considered one of the greatest burdens a person can bear, as expressed by a quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln. 02:03:31 💡 Identifying who holds the most power in the world isn't straightforward; it's not solely vested in politicians or the super-rich. 02:06:32 👥 Some individuals are driven by a desire for power and control, seeking to influence decisions that affect everyone. 02:06:45 🌐 George Soros once stated that he fancied himself as a god, and he feels he has achieved a level of power to match. 02:07:24 🦁 The concept of being an apex predator, indifferent to the concerns of others, can be a chilling perspective on power. 02:08:36 💥 Some individuals, driven by deep-seated insecurities, may use their ambitions to gain power, potentially disregarding the consequences for others. 02:08:49 🌐 Adolf Hitler's actions were motivated by his deep-seated offense, leading to the devastation he caused. 02:09:03 🗣 Different people are driven by various motivations, whether it's accumulating wealth for power or using influence to shape laws and decisions. 02:09:44 🌍 Powerful meetings like the G20, UN, and others may be significant, but they might not be where the most influential decisions are made. 02:11:38 🔥 Power can be intoxicating, with some individuals finding it addictive to have control and be feared by others. 02:12:19 🤝 Recognizing the value of allies and choosing them wisely is crucial for high-performers navigating complex relationships. 02:17:00 🤲 Understanding that relationships often involve a level of mutual benefit can lead to more honest and realistic interactions.
I listened to it already today on Spotify. Watching it here again because of the insane video and to take notes 📝 Thank you both for your contribution to our generation. Pat is the Man, one of my favorite people ever. Would be an honor to meet him one day and say thank you in person and to shake his hand
Thats a very smart comment@maxc9334 1. ‘‘Demand from yourself what you demand from others‘‘ (i.e. nobody will respect you if you don't respect yourself ;) 2. Set standards and expectations for your family. (the most powerful and successful families have their own standards and they stay true to them, no matter what others think) 3. Take into consideration how much selfishness/selflessness the people around you have. Does it align with your standards? (for example, as a business owner you might want to work with people who are 50/50 selfish/selfless. A Leader might want to be at about 70/30)
im taking a bunch of notes all the time. Every time I learn something completely new I write it down, just to revisit it when I have time to think about the topic and understand it better.@@6feetunderpants
I listened to this over a 4/6hr work day, of course office interruptions. By the time I got to the end, I was a little sad and yearned for more - it was that phenomenal. Thank you for helping me make sense of how blessed I am with my parental combo. Great work gents.
I must be in the minority about viewing the success of others. I absolutely LOVE to see people succeed. Shows hard work paying off, and I love hard work.

The way you curate your questions/topics to hit to bring out the best of each guest and hit and drag out their niche knowledge is admirable. I’ve watched hours of PBD and still learn something here.
Reminds me of an old saying I heard from my dad back in he day. 'Son, if you are to survive, you must be one of three things. Strong. Smart. Or Crazy. You'll go far.'
As a videographer, your team is knocking it out of the park. Your podcasts are a staple in my life but as a pixel peeper I have to give credit where credit is due. Double down on this production quality and I could probably tell you that this channel would soar. Nobody is at this level. Well done as always. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@frankysalazar6857It doesn’t have to do with editing. It has to do with lighting, frame rates, color grading, and camera lens quality. The editing of an interview is pretty straightforward. Somebody like MrWhosTheBoss relies on editing. Chris is just a fantastic host with amazing guests and storytelling within his shows.
Great interview, Chris. I've enjoyed seeing you progress as a awesome person. You've grown into an excellent interviewer as well and couldn't have picked a better man to speak with.
The quality of the production of this episode is amazing. I watched this episode on the TV at dinner time and I had the feeling Patrick was in front of me. The discussion was very good with many layers of complexity. Happy days! 🎉
Hey Pat I’m an Assyrian in Melbourne Australia My family never went on govt help They just used their skills I’d love to work for you What a journey it has been We look up to you
"Everyone is your enemy. Everyone is your friend. Every series of events is happening all at once. Live that way and nothing will surprise you. Everything that happens will be something that you've seen before." Little Finger.
Chris. this is insane formal. I love this episode. GODDAMN. You two have insane chemistry. Ive consumed a lot of podcasts and you were my favorite for a while. I think you just solidified that status beyond the point of no return. Love it Much love from Germany
What I like when I'm watching and listening to this kind of conversation are the title of the books mentioned and what the books about. It is not that they are making recommendations, but their talking about the reason why that book is interesting and the lesson you can get out of it. Just sharing pure wisdom and knowledge.
So good! The underdog support that everyone has for the person that’s on the come up reminds people of their dreams and when your at the top everyone tries to tear you down because you remind them of what they gave up on.
I’m a fan of you both. As well as others who encourage personal and community responsibility . This was one of the best podcasts I have ever engaged with. Thanks for the conversation you two!
You really built this one up. I saw a few 10 minute clips, I've been searching for this episode for the past week and a half😂 like Wtf... Well worth the wait. Thank you brotha
I had been wondering for the last several years - since maybe 2016-17ish - why I had such a lack of energy, motivation, interest, ambition, etc. I mean, I thought I was basically at the end of at least my own personal development if not even the end of my life to some extent - like the same minimal routine for the next X years or decades and then die - like I was just going to go to work, come home, watch TH-cam and maybe play video games for a few hours, sleep and repeat - no hobbies, no friends, no adventure, no changes or growth, no extra effort beyond absolute minimum, etc. And I haven't always been like that - I was raised to be almost militantly against laziness and I always loved having hobbies and learning things, going on adventures, hanging out with people, etc. But I had a span of my life where I was an alcoholic and multi-drug addict - but when I finally managed to quit, that's when my energy, motivation, interest in literally anything, etc. all vanished and I probably slept around 20 hours a day for over a year. I had gotten to the point where I could stay awake most of the day and do most of what I needed to do but I would still start falling asleep if I wasn't moving - like driving or doing relatively stationary work. I had a sleep study scheduled all the way back in 2019 but something happened and I never went and then I just kind of forgot that was even a consideration. Well, a few weeks ago, I finally had a sleep study and found out I have sleep apnea - I'm a big dude but not huge and this only started right after quitting drugs, because I was always the most energetic person I knew and the last one asleep so I'm thinking the drugs and booze and quitting them was the cause - but I've been totally miserable for all of these years and my wife (who was the one who helped me quit drugs) even left me back in June for several reasons related to my low energy and motivation - all of this, and I could have fixed the problem and started participating in life again and probably would still have my wife and be in a much happier marriage now - I could have gotten better years ago.. So all of that to say, I've felt like a worthless, lazy bastard this entire time - especially when reading/watching anything related to bettering your life - business, fitness, adventure/recreation, etc. - and maybe I'll finally be getting back to normal. They're doing one last sleep study in a few days to calibrate/test/setup the CPAP on me. Every last person I've talked to who has gone through this has said the CPAP basically changed their lives... I've prepared myself though - I think the apnea is probably only part of it.. Being stuck in this mode all these years, I'm probably going to have to work on some habits/behaviors I developed in this time that are just in my head/mental that are controlled by my level of determination..
Chris FWIW there are many of us who like the fact that you don’t weigh in on the political topic du jour. Your instincts are on point, that’s not what we’re here for.
The dynamic between the two of you is incredible. You are asking the right questions, not just for an audience, but because you are genuinely curious yourself. What a treat to get the opportunity to interview a great mind and get mentoring in return from Patrick in the process. Freaking genius. I can't stop listening and absorbing. Wish there were women this smart speaking reality to women. Teaching women to be better wives, mothers and members of society. I love Candace and Brett, but we need more of that and less of celebrity influence.
You have to have a line for your kids to follow. When I was growing up my day was get up At 5am and I was tutored on passing whatever national Exam I had to do. Then at 7 took a shower then breakfast, by 8 I was at school. After school my driver picks me up at 3pm I have another 1-2 hours of tutoring and homework. By the time I get home it’s 5pm. I can’t just toss my bag down and my uniform. I had to polish my shoes, shower and eat dinner. After dinner I had to wash the dishes even though I had a maid that could do it. No games on week days. If your grades fell / I messed up bad no games, tv or phone grounded can’t go out. In fact I had no tv for abt two years I watched local news for entertainment and at the time I hated it but I have discipline and that’s what a lot of youth lack.
Before I realized it, I was 45 minutes. Fantastic episode. One of the best interviews I’ve listened to in months. Thank you. You just keep getting better.
Shlamaloukh, Patrick Bet-David. You have my respect, and I am grateful for your experiences and wisdom in life. We, the immigrants from the Middle East who live in the four corners of this Earth, need to listen to your experiences, accomplishments, and insights, hoping to learn how to help one another and strive for the ultimate goal of revitalizing our homeland. The nations that existed during the Assyrian Empire all fell and rose again, except for Assyria, which fell in 639 BC and remains down to this day. Armenia, Persia, Greece, Rome, Arabia, the Ottoman Empire, and Israel all experienced cycles of decline and resurgence-except for us. We need a leader like you. God bless you with even more success. Ameen.
Great podcast Chris! Been watching you for a while and you keep improving every time! Great questions and insights in this one, particularly in the dilemma of being successful and raising good kids.
Some of think there are already too many people talking about subjects they’re not experts in, and appreciate the restraint from making “more noise”. Keep up the good work.
There are not many podcasts that I watch or interested in. I have a great respect for PBD is a man as a leader and great thinker I do really admire his character. I enjoy watching different podcasts with the same person because they reveal different sides of them based on the interviewer. One of my favourite quotes by Jim Kwik is “ If You Ask A Question That No One Ever Asked You Will Get An Answer That No One Ever Got” this is one of the reasons why I also respect Chris because he’s also asking interesting questions and bringing on interesting people. Great Interview Bravo 👏🏼 for both of you.
I never knew who Chris Williamson was. Good looking dude from a reality show is what the internet told me. I am very unbiased, no dog in the fight. But I enjoy his podcast more than any other. The long form conversations with guests…he just has a knack for picking people and topics that are soo interesting to young men. It’s not the “one trick pony” podcasts that just own 304s or teach social circle pickup every freaking show. He’s got a pretty broad range of topics he’s knowledgeable enough about to ask great questions. I can’t think of a show of his I disliked. There are guests who annoy me because they’re political hacks or dishonest, but I enjoy the conversations
My ENEMY who breaks me down is a teacher, a TEACHER who shows me my weakness makes me STRONGER, and he who makes me stronger is my FRIEND. My personal quote after a life changing 330+ hours encounter with a particular person.
An enemy is a good whetstone. Played baseball as a kid and my town had 2 teams (12 in the league). I hated one of the kids on the other team. We played the same position and were both picked for all-stars every year and competed for that position. We both got really good. By HS we were by far the best players on the team and then he moved and I quit getting better. Actually quit playing halfway through senior year after 13 years of baseball. We even competed for grades in school. Always in the same stupid classes and was always #1 and 2. GPA dropped right after. It's like I needed a reason to try and future rewards were not enough.
I’m only half way through and I’m already wishing this interview was longer, two of my favourite people at the table. Chris this is why I love your channel so much. KUDOS.
Thinking you have an enemy or several enemies is a nice way for you to convince yourself that you matter in a world that is largely unconcerned with your existence.
Pat as a female I opened a brokerage in 1998 or so. Male dominated industry I had all the education, license’s, but I did not get your wise advice of enemies and competition. I wish I had this advice back then. That is what was missing. Excellent
I have wondered why Patrick speaks about America like he does, and it wasn't until your interview that he answered this for me. My grandchildren listen to his show, I wondered why the disgust with our own country, and they get good grades, work hard. Their attitudes are changing because of listening to his voice, and others, now I know why. Thank you, Chris. Prejudice is a damning thing, and there are many different kinds of jealousy and fears.
i used to love Patrick some of the best pod cast i have seen but all i here from him is how much money everybody has as this is the one and only thing that in his mind is what success is human greed creates enemies i choose not to have enemies made lots of money only to lose it all couldnt be happier ya cant take it with you

Winston Churchill said, “You have enemies? Good! It means you’ve stood up for something once in your life!”
If you have hate in your heart that means you are not taking the souls - David Goggins
Your biggest enemy is always with you.
I seem to have a lot of people at my current job single me out, and I am only focused on doing my job responsibilities and be respectful towards other that are respectful to me, and still I have a lot of people try to make up lies and spread lies about me, (I’m not victimizing myself, I’m describing the aura that people are some type of way as long as a Co. is behind the ill behavior, and if the Co. is not then people say one thing on here but in real life you are not part of 1st principles type of conversation,
The man was a quote machine and reading his letters to his mum when he was at Boarding School tells a lot about how his attitude was formed, yet his adherence to action and the resilience he appeared to have empowered the citizens with during his years in office are the definition of integrity - even if another one of his great quotes is “I’ve gotten more out of Alcohol than it’s taken from me” ❤
He was copying Charles McKay's poem "You say you have no enemies..." check it out. The poem was written decades before Churchill.

The way PBD can recall different authors, entrepreneurs, and intellectualls is remarkable. Also, his superb ability to tell different stories to perfectly coincide with his points is fascinating. Chris is a incredible host. He asks questions at the best times and keeps me engaged every moment. There is a reason why this is my favorite podcast show. Whew, the amount of wisdom on this one!
Not really, he is missing a huge part of the story of Michael Jordan, changing the entire gist of his point.
Nooo, I think PBD picked the Host brain, PBD seems to be the interviewer & gets to the point w/his analysis & wit. Definitely keeps you interested w/his knowledge & insight. 👍🏽 Great job.
It’s called a script.
He's a grifter who ran a pyramid scheme, look it up. God y'all fall for conmen so easy when they have any basic speaking skills. Smarten up
No shit! he did his research before all this act.
Chris, you’re knocking it out of the park recently with these guests. It’s not just the guests themselves, but your ability to connect with them and have such meaningful conversations that seem to bring out the best from both of you.
Nobody can truly do you but you. Keep being yourself mate! Thanks for all the content!
These conversations SHOULD be part of EVERY high school curriculum. I’m 40 and still learning from these teachers
Been waiting for this! PBD is the man

Can't believe I started this to watch for a short time and could never put it down and was sad when it was over. So powerful and well done!!!! Thank you gentlemen!!!
FYI, PBD has a podcast with guests representing many different perspectives. It’s one of my favorites 😊
Thanks, I watch him everyday@@Teal_Seal
@maxc9334 Huh? 😄
Same here I always watched one but never heard this dude before
Chris is spot on about not feeling the need to contribute to noise, and only to the signal on topics that he isn’t prepared or wanting to engage with. That is admirable. I wish more commentators would stay in their lane. We have WAY TOO MUCH NOISE.
Their ego won't let them!
That's where Chris is different from Patrick.
Agreed
I'm happy to have a place to get away from the war woes for a while, if I'm honest.
I mean he literally keeps asking the same questions about men and women in dating where he will get the sameish answers or straight up just contradict himself from the last time he talked about it, and hes obviously doing it for views as well.
Sam harris and Eric weinstein commenting on the political crisis in gaza is an example of noise.
Pbd is one of my favourite communicators, if not my fav! The way he is able to answer to questions by using stories is a top skill many would like to learn!
What a fantastic interview. Thank you! I had the epiphany while working on the MTV Cribs Team. Traveling the country helping to produce shows in mansions while living in a studio apt in NYC at that time was getting to me at first. I went thru the feelings of feeling jealous, envious, what about me thoughts, and then I started to realize that I was rich/wealthy because I had friends and family that truly loved me and had "my back". Meanwhile I was meeting celebrities or very wealthy people who were not even sure who their real friends were. I started to see some dysfunction. I started to see the disconnection and some people putting an act for the cameras and then looking depressed once the cameras were off. Definitely an eye opening experience. Grateful
I taught THE PATSTA ( his right pals call him this) all he knows Patsa , hit me up fella ❤
Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to hear today on my journey. Both of you have beautiful minds and articulate your thoughts so well. I pray the two of you have continued success as I pray for my own strength and success in Life. Please keep sharing the Truth! It is so refreshing to hear!
Selfless vs selfish reminds me of one of my grandmothers. I learned from her that in order to take care of others I need to be able to support myself first and do so consistently; then I can more freely give to others and support them. Otherwise you can get caught in a vicious cycle of helping others and then need to be bailed out when things go rough for you.
What a time we live in, these conversations are life changing to those who choose to listen!

Thank you both for your contribution to our generation. Pat is the Man, one of my favorite people ever. Would be an honor to meet him one day and say thank you in person and to shake his hand
Thats a very smart comment@maxc9334
1. ‘‘Demand from yourself what you demand from others‘‘ (i.e. nobody will respect you if you don't respect yourself ;)
2. Set standards and expectations for your family. (the most powerful and successful families have their own standards and they stay true to them, no matter what others think)
3. Take into consideration how much selfishness/selflessness the people around you have.
Does it align with your standards? (for example, as a business owner you might want to work with people who are 50/50 selfish/selfless. A Leader might want to be at about 70/30)
Agreed 👍
What notes did you take?
Just a book list or something else?
Do you have a lot of notes from other podcasts?
im taking a bunch of notes all the time. Every time I learn something completely new I write it down, just to revisit it when I have time to think about the topic and understand it better.@@6feetunderpants

I listened to this over a 4/6hr work day, of course office interruptions. By the time I got to the end, I was a little sad and yearned for more - it was that phenomenal. Thank you for helping me make sense of how blessed I am with my parental combo. Great work gents.
I must be in the minority about viewing the success of others. I absolutely LOVE to see people succeed. Shows hard work paying off, and I love hard work.

I’ve watched hours of PBD and still learn something here.
Reminds me of an old saying I heard from my dad back in he day. 'Son, if you are to survive, you must be one of three things. Strong. Smart. Or Crazy. You'll go far.'
So much wisdom in one episode.🙏🏼 Will rewatch, probably more than once.
Tremendous gratitude to you both. 👏🏼
As a videographer, your team is knocking it out of the park. Your podcasts are a staple in my life but as a pixel peeper I have to give credit where credit is due.

Much love from Germany
Because of *pbd* ... First time viewer and a *new listener to this show* .
Interesting questions asked and raised.
Thank you. Mr p decker.
What I like when I'm watching and listening to this kind of conversation are the title of the books mentioned and what the books about. It is not that they are making recommendations, but their talking about the reason why that book is interesting and the lesson you can get out of it. Just sharing pure wisdom and knowledge.
So good! The underdog support that everyone has for the person that’s on the come up reminds people of their dreams and when your at the top everyone tries to tear you down because you remind them of what they gave up on.
Here before 800 people leave a comment about how Chris is "knocking it out of the park with these guests lately"

I’m a fan of you both. As well as others who encourage personal and community responsibility . This was one of the best podcasts I have ever engaged with. Thanks for the conversation you two!
You really built this one up. I saw a few 10 minute clips, I've been searching for this episode for the past week and a half😂 like Wtf... Well worth the wait. Thank you brotha
Words of wisdom!!! Enjoy every minute of this conversation!!
I had been wondering for the last several years - since maybe 2016-17ish - why I had such a lack of energy, motivation, interest, ambition, etc. I mean, I thought I was basically at the end of at least my own personal development if not even the end of my life to some extent - like the same minimal routine for the next X years or decades and then die - like I was just going to go to work, come home, watch TH-cam and maybe play video games for a few hours, sleep and repeat - no hobbies, no friends, no adventure, no changes or growth, no extra effort beyond absolute minimum, etc. And I haven't always been like that - I was raised to be almost militantly against laziness and I always loved having hobbies and learning things, going on adventures, hanging out with people, etc.
But I had a span of my life where I was an alcoholic and multi-drug addict - but when I finally managed to quit, that's when my energy, motivation, interest in literally anything, etc. all vanished and I probably slept around 20 hours a day for over a year. I had gotten to the point where I could stay awake most of the day and do most of what I needed to do but I would still start falling asleep if I wasn't moving - like driving or doing relatively stationary work. I had a sleep study scheduled all the way back in 2019 but something happened and I never went and then I just kind of forgot that was even a consideration.
Well, a few weeks ago, I finally had a sleep study and found out I have sleep apnea - I'm a big dude but not huge and this only started right after quitting drugs, because I was always the most energetic person I knew and the last one asleep so I'm thinking the drugs and booze and quitting them was the cause - but I've been totally miserable for all of these years and my wife (who was the one who helped me quit drugs) even left me back in June for several reasons related to my low energy and motivation - all of this, and I could have fixed the problem and started participating in life again and probably would still have my wife and be in a much happier marriage now - I could have gotten better years ago..
So all of that to say, I've felt like a worthless, lazy bastard this entire time - especially when reading/watching anything related to bettering your life - business, fitness, adventure/recreation, etc. - and maybe I'll finally be getting back to normal. They're doing one last sleep study in a few days to calibrate/test/setup the CPAP on me. Every last person I've talked to who has gone through this has said the CPAP basically changed their lives... I've prepared myself though - I think the apnea is probably only part of it.. Being stuck in this mode all these years, I'm probably going to have to work on some habits/behaviors I developed in this time that are just in my head/mental that are controlled by my level of determination..
4 at night in Holland, still listening.. inspiring boys! Thanks for the content
Excellent interviewer. Excellent guest. 2.5 hours, never lost my attention. Top notch quality.
PBD's storytelling skills are unmatched.
That last part about do you love you for what you are or what you do was so powerful indeed.
Had been waiting for a podcast with Patrick for a very long time, thank you very much for another podcast masterpiece
What I got out of this was you got to love yourself and the best life is living YOUR values, not others.
God bless all of you, brothers and sisters!
One of my favorite conversations of all time ! Love this !
half hour in to busy with coming tests. always love hearing Patrick Bet-David on podcasts, such a wellspoken and intelligent guy (you too Chris)!
Chris & Patrick - one of the BEST interviews ever!!!
PBD is a stud. Truly inspiring and very likable. The PBD podcast is among the top 5 in the world IMO.
Chris is on the up and up. Well done. Hard work pays off. Your focus is on the right things. 📈
Broooooo!! The answer about not commenting on online stuff because not enough information!!! Thank you!! More people need to be this way pleeeease
Much love and respect for both of you gentleman.
Chris FWIW there are many of us who like the fact that you don’t weigh in on the political topic du jour. Your instincts are on point, that’s not what we’re here for.
Social media needs more people to comment on things that they are experts at. Not opinion based on feelings.
Chris, you are simply one of the best interviewers. Thank you for the content.
This episode needs a book list for all the books mentioned please and thank you
The dynamic between the two of you is incredible. You are asking the right questions, not just for an audience, but because you are genuinely curious yourself. What a treat to get the opportunity to interview a great mind and get mentoring in return from Patrick in the process. Freaking genius. I can't stop listening and absorbing. Wish there were women this smart speaking reality to women. Teaching women to be better wives, mothers and members of society. I love Candace and Brett, but we need more of that and less of celebrity influence.
You have to have a line for your kids to follow. When I was growing up my day was get up
At 5am and I was tutored on passing whatever national
Exam I had to do. Then at 7 took a shower then breakfast, by 8 I was at school. After school my driver picks me up at 3pm I have another 1-2 hours of tutoring and homework. By the time I get home it’s 5pm. I can’t just toss my bag down and my uniform. I had to polish my shoes, shower and eat dinner. After dinner I had to wash the dishes even though I had a maid that could do it. No games on week days. If your grades fell / I messed up bad no games, tv or phone grounded can’t go out. In fact I had no tv for abt two years I watched local news for entertainment and at the time I hated it but I have discipline and that’s what a lot of youth lack.
Patrick Bet-David is one of the few Conservatives that I have enormous respect for.
Ive listened to alot of wisdom that came from pat he is pro at all levels good cast.
these production values - kudos to the whole crew !
Really enjoy hearing Chris speak/interview especially with PBD probably my favorite speaker of all time
Before I realized it, I was 45 minutes. Fantastic episode. One of the best interviews I’ve listened to in months. Thank you. You just keep getting better.
Thank you Chris, the world needed you .
Shlamaloukh, Patrick Bet-David. You have my respect, and I am grateful for your experiences and wisdom in life. We, the immigrants from the Middle East who live in the four corners of this Earth, need to listen to your experiences, accomplishments, and insights, hoping to learn how to help one another and strive for the ultimate goal of revitalizing our homeland. The nations that existed during the Assyrian Empire all fell and rose again, except for Assyria, which fell in 639 BC and remains down to this day. Armenia, Persia, Greece, Rome, Arabia, the Ottoman Empire, and Israel all experienced cycles of decline and resurgence-except for us. We need a leader like you. God bless you with even more success. Ameen.
Great podcast Chris! Been watching you for a while and you keep improving every time! Great questions and insights in this one, particularly in the dilemma of being successful and raising good kids.
I adore PBD. Thank you for this excellent conversation.
Two of the greatest podcasters of all time, converging for a great episode. I love it🔥🏆
Great interview. Also can't help commenting on how Mr. Bet-David looks in this video. The suit, the tie, the watch. Chef's kiss.
Your videos are saving lives and improving our mortal experience. Your channel is priceless, inspiring and full of rare competence.
Patrick is so sure of himself. He never says “I think”. It’s always “I know”. The wisest person leave some room for doubt!
Listen 0:10 again
Some of think there are already too many people talking about subjects they’re not experts in, and appreciate the restraint from making “more noise”. Keep up the good work.
Love the respect to let one another talk.
this guy is the best podcaster of today, congrats dude, u are excellent at this
Your interview has helped motivate me to do more in my life
There are not many podcasts that I watch or interested in. I have a great respect for PBD is a man as a leader and great thinker I do really admire his character. I enjoy watching different podcasts with the same person because they reveal different sides of them based on the interviewer. One of my favourite quotes by
Jim Kwik is “ If You Ask A Question That No One Ever Asked You Will Get An Answer That No One Ever Got” this is one of the reasons why I also respect Chris because he’s also asking interesting questions and bringing on interesting people.
Great Interview Bravo 👏🏼 for both of you.
Such a great podcast . Both extremely interesting and new insights they bring to the table
I never knew who Chris Williamson was. Good looking dude from a reality show is what the internet told me. I am very unbiased, no dog in the fight. But I enjoy his podcast more than any other. The long form conversations with guests…he just has a knack for picking people and topics that are soo interesting to young men. It’s not the “one trick pony” podcasts that just own 304s or teach social circle pickup every freaking show. He’s got a pretty broad range of topics he’s knowledgeable enough about to ask great questions. I can’t think of a show of his I disliked. There are guests who annoy me because they’re political hacks or dishonest, but I enjoy the conversations
This was such a good episode! God damn I couldn't stop listening to it
My ENEMY who breaks me down is a teacher, a TEACHER who shows me my weakness makes me STRONGER, and he who makes me stronger is my FRIEND.
My personal quote after a life changing 330+ hours encounter with a particular person.
An enemy is a good whetstone. Played baseball as a kid and my town had 2 teams (12 in the league). I hated one of the kids on the other team. We played the same position and were both picked for all-stars every year and competed for that position. We both got really good. By HS we were by far the best players on the team and then he moved and I quit getting better. Actually quit playing halfway through senior year after 13 years of baseball. We even competed for grades in school. Always in the same stupid classes and was always #1 and 2. GPA dropped right after. It's like I needed a reason to try and future rewards were not enough.
That is the problem with extrinsic performance based goals instead of intrinsic mastery based, they are not sustainable.
I’m only half way through and I’m already wishing this interview was longer, two of my favourite people at the table. Chris this is why I love your channel so much. KUDOS.
Two admirable Professionals 🙏
This interview is BALLER! I keep going back to it. My compliments to both the guest and the interviewer!
Two of my favorites. Great podcast.
Thinking you have an enemy or several enemies is a nice way for you to convince yourself that you matter in a world that is largely unconcerned with your existence.
Well done Chris, you have pulled off some great podcasts recently!
Pat as a female I opened a brokerage in 1998 or so. Male dominated industry I had all the education, license’s, but I did not get your wise advice of enemies and competition. I wish I had this advice back then. That is what was missing. Excellent
PBD always giving value information. Im getting the books he recommended. ❤❤❤❤❤
I have wondered why Patrick speaks about America like he does, and it wasn't until your interview that he answered this for me. My grandchildren listen to his show, I wondered why the disgust with our own country, and they get good grades, work hard. Their attitudes are changing because of listening to his voice, and others, now I know why. Thank you, Chris. Prejudice is a damning thing, and there are many different kinds of jealousy and fears.
Chris...would you sit down with Orange Man? That interview would be epic.
Outstanding episode. One of the best pieces of content in general that I've seen in some time, thank you.
i used to love Patrick some of the best pod cast i have seen but all i here from him is how much money everybody has as this is the one and only thing that in his mind is what success is human greed creates enemies i choose not to have enemies made lots of money only to lose it all couldnt be happier ya cant take it with you
Great episode. Love Pat and his way of communicating
Train from Kings Cross to York. Didn’t expect to watch all of this. Unputdownable!
Two of my favorite people! How to become a better human! As a woman I found this very valuable for myself and how to better understand and/or help the men in my life! When I say men…sons and friends lol! Sounds like I have all these men😂
Thank you!
Two of my favorites!
Pat and Chris in a pod, this is definitely going to be good!!.. Time to dig in Boyss
Great interview - well done
