📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

Another fantastic video to share with you today. This time about obsession and what it takes to be the very best.

No, this is not one of my videos, but my newest one will drop tomorrow - I’ll definitely include it in the next email.

This is a podcast that MrBeast appeared on called How to Take Over the World, and I was entranced for the entire 1 hour and 4 minutes.

For context, MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson has 239,000,000 subscribers on YouTube right now, employs about 250 people producing his spectacle-style videos that routinely get 100,000,000+ views or more.

The guy has been OBSESSING over YouTube and what it takes to succeed at the highest level for more than a decade, and the interview is just fascinating.

I listen to these things on 2x speed, which I recommend if you’re put off by the time commitment of an hour. I totally get that.

But if YOU want to succeed at the highest level - in whatever field - these are the types of interviews you’re probably going to want to watch:

But that’s it for today.

As always, at the bottom of this email I’ll lay out everything I did today to move closer to my Ultimate Vision. This is to keep me accountable and to show you that I’m working as hard as I’m encouraging you to work…

Workout: REST DAY

Massive snow storm where I live, they sent out this big advisory to stay off the roads. I’d love to be able to tell you that I fit in a bodyweight workout as well, but no. I didn’t. Just a rest day. Not the worst, since my bicep is still a little sore, but I really should have done something.

If there’s one thing I HATE, it’s coming back here over and over again and having to tell you that I didn’t get as much work done today as I wanted, because I didn’t get enough sleep.

I keep saying it, and I hate it every time, and then I keep going to bed later than I should…the bright side is that this is being FORCED into my awareness, and I’m going to start sounding REALLY incompetent as a coach and a leader if I don’t get this handled and start getting more sleep.

Tonight should be good. This email is the last thing I’m sending out, I’m going to wash a few dishes, read a few pages, and then go to sleep. But not sleeping enough is REALLY not helping me get to where I want to be.

But you know what, tomorrow is another day. This time I’m going to be awake for it!

Until next time…happy reading!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
