And it's like partially because the dissemination of information was so slow before technology. And now it's so fast, it's instant. And I can reach people like that and impact their lives like that. And that to me is like, what a gift that I'm able to do that on a daily and weekly basis. And I feel a responsibility as a result of that to kind of continue to share and hopefully continue to cause people to ask questions and think about their priorities in life and, you know, be slightly more philosophical about how they think about the world.

- How do you remain the same person or at least consider the same tone when you go from 4,000 followers to 700,000?

- Number one thing is that I have a amazing wife who continues to just tell me that I ain't shit. (laughing) In all seriousness, absolutely, you know, my wife is incredible. People that follow me on Twitter have probably seen my wife's Twitter and, you know, making fun of me in the comments on things. And that's all like fun and games in our household. But a big part of it is like having people in your life that also ground you so that you're not trying to get carried away with, you know, how high and mighty you think you are. So that's been really important. It's like, at the end of the day, this is sort of like what I do, it's my inspiration. It's a job, quote unquote, you know, I think it's a crazy, cool job on something I love doing on a daily basis. But it is a job and you have to like, writing a newsletter eventually feels like a job, writing on Twitter eventually, everything, assum totes towards feeling like a job. And so hopefully it's a job that you like and that you get energy from more than it drains energy. And hopefully, you know, to think about it from a life perspective, they're sort of like macro problems and micro problems as I think about it in life. Macro problems are like, you know, like do you have money to feed your family, shelter or things like that? Are you, do you have a partner that, you really care about that you learn from, that you grow with, do you have a loving family, loving friends, those are kind of like macro problems in life and they're really important to solve first. And then you sort of have micro problems, which is like, oh am I getting energy out of this thing or is my boss pissing me off or like the little things in life on a daily basis that are kind of causing you stress. The whole goal is to like graduate from macro problems to micro problems in my view. It's like, you know, at some point in your life you have macro problems and you work at them and you hopefully can, you know, work your way through them and hopefully people can find their way through those things. Sometimes they don't. But once you do, the whole goal is to like, A, not create macro more problems out of thin air and then B, just like manage the micro problems. We all have those micro problems, like those micro-misseries on a daily basis, just exist. They never go away. There's no way to make them go away. But the whole goal is to kind of like graduate from one to the other. And so I think that, you know, in my own life as I've continued to progress in anything that I've done it's like, how do you have people in your life that keep you grounded, that make sure you're not changing, you know, that will call you out on your shit if you are changing in some way. And my parents are a huge force in my life in that way. And, you know, and my parents, they did it with baseball too. Like my mom never understood baseball. She's Indian, you know, grew up in India. Was so, to this day, like I crack up when I think of the look on her face when I told her that I got a scholarship to Stanford because she just thought that I was the like, kid that wasn't studying. Like my mom still wants me to get a PhD. She's an Indian mother. It's like, why not go to medical school? Why not go for PhD? You know, my sister was like going off and doing a physics degree in college. And so, you know, my mom from a baseball perspective was able to ground me always because she just didn't understand it. So it wasn't a big deal to her really that I was doing these things. And that was helpful. And it always is helpful to like have things in your life that, you know, that are that way. Things have changed obviously. And now like, you know, I get recognized in public sometimes and my wife's there. And it's like, I post a lot of pictures of my kid, which is good and bad. I think it inspires people to be, you know, to take parenthood really seriously. The flip side of it is that like people recognize me and my kid sometimes and who knows like, does that become a bad thing in the long term? And I need to think about that. Tim Ferriss has written some awesome things on that. But yeah, I think just having people in your life that are willing to call you on your shit when your head gets a little big is important. You've seen, I'm sure you've seen this, the Giannis post game interview where you talked about like thinking about the past and like, you know, what that's all about and how that's a bad thing. And I think that's really true. It's like when you focus on the past and when you think about like puff yourself up, look at all this stuff that I've done, look at how great I am, you always get punched in the face. Like you always do bad that next game. It happened to me in baseball. If I like thought I was hot shit 'cause I had a few good outings, I thought I was really good. I got rocked with so much consistency in my next outing. Like it was always really bad. And it happens in life too. Like as soon as you start to, you know, get high on your own supply and you start thinking like, oh, look at how I'm going viral, look at how much money I'm making, whatever, like there's always a fall coming after that. My mom always told me that pride comes before a fall. It's like famous saying, I think it's really, really true. So anyway, long way of answering your question, but yeah.

- What's the last macro problem you faced in your life but how'd you go

about solving it?
