What is your one word destiny? Literally, the most important question you can ask yourself I'm traveling right now, but I wanted to pop in on this live and be like, yo. You know your one word destiny? Whatever you want in life, especially wealth, you better have it narrowed down to the simplest form. People don't understand. Money chases simplicity and runs from complexity. That's where people get it all messed up. That's why a college degree doesn't always equate into wealth. These college degrees are complicated. Sure. There's some college degrees that make sense. You my friend is a submarine physicist. That's a complicated job, but wealth doesn't follow. Wealth follows from simple things. The iPhone, Steve Jobs says he wasn't really rich, so he went to India and meditated and found out that the simplest design of a phone would be the BlackBerry. Like, this is the game. I'm streaming here in five places. So if you see me looking around. I I just wanna encourage you. You gotta figure out your one word destiny. You're in you have two one word destinies. One is your internal. One is your external. So my internal word for me is explorer. That's and look for ancient archetypes. These are archetypes that have lasted more than ten thousand years. There was explorers in BC two thousand. So my archetype, an ancient one, is an explorer. People who follow me, you know, some people know me as the knowledge guy, the Lambo guy, the marketing guy, different things, but ultimately, it's all a subset of me being an explorer. Okay? I explore the world. I live with the Amish for two and a half years. I've run, you know, businesses in ten different industries. I've done everything from real estate to physical products to online courses. I've been famous on social media, and I've been off grid for years, Four years with no electricity or bathroom, you know, when I was younger. So I've been poor, and I've been rich. And so I'm gonna explore. My external to the world is, like I said, a lot of people know me for the word knowledge. That's an external one. Some people know Lambo, garage. Some people know SMNA. That's another external one. Over time, I've been in the game a long time. I'm the OG. You know? There's other people that top g and the but don't forget who the OG is, me. In terms of being online, scaling businesses through three different recessions since two thousand one at scale, paid ads, organic, I'm the OG. There's nobody on this planet been doing it longer than me at scale. Not I don't know who's second. You know? Most of the people you follow started in two thousand twelve or fifteen. I was already almost fifteen years in the game. So I've seen a lot. That's why people know me as an external one word is the knowledge guy. People are like, Ty, you have knowledge on a lot of different subjects. Yeah. Exactly. And I'm a tell you this is important for you all to know. When you stay in your lane, when you stay in your one word internal and your one word external, you're protected. And the second you step out of it, you ain't protected anymore. What do I mean protected? Well, you're protected from competition. You're protected from failing. You're and if you step out because you say you're good at everything, you're no longer protected. The man who knows his simple archetype wins. Somebody said the archetype is the architect. Now I just wanna be clear on this archetype thing. Some of you should be using more simple things. People whenever I just did a two day mastermind seminar. I invited sixty of my high paying clients to Hollywood, California last week. So I had I had a room, only sixty people max, so I could spend time closely with people. And these are people that paid me a hundred k. You know? Most of them there have paid were in my hundred k program. So whenever I bring this up and I'm like, yo, what's your one word? Inevitably, especially men, but women too, they can't stay humble. So their archetype is like, I'm the the general, the conqueror. I'm like, my friend, you ain't conquered nothing. It's not in your destiny. There's not many men who are gonna be conquerors. What's wrong with the father archetype? What's wrong with the mother archetype? You know, you don't always have to be this killer archetype. You don't always have to be this killer archetype. And and you can't do it. You can't stay. You you go out of your lane. You're no longer protected. Very few men I see people go, Todd, I'm a billionaire. I'm gonna be a billionaire. I'm saying, no you're not. I've been in business with billionaires. Most guys aren't ruthless enough. You see? Most of you, especially the dudes that think they're tough, oh, you ain't tough. I know billionaires that threw their own brother in prison so they could take over the business and become a billionaire. Most men, me included, I'm not ruthless enough to throw my own family in prison to get the money. You see what I'm saying? So when I meet dudes outside of their lane, they're just spending their whole life doing things. It's like a dude who's small and skinny, and he's trying to be a pro basketball player. It's like a dude who's naturally skinny and small, and he's trying to compete for the world's strongest man competition. I'm like, bro, it ain't in your destiny. The dudes who win the mystery power lifter guys, these are big stocky dudes who easily can weigh four hundred pounds. You see? Someone said, bro, why are you alone in an apartment? This is a I'm traveling. I'm in Europe right now. This is a big apartment. It's echoing that I that I stay in it. So don't go deep down this rabbit hole of your this and your that. You can't do it. Very few people have the destiny that they're running after. In fact, most men are running after someone else's archetype. They're running after another man's one word. So you follow dudes on social media, and you're like, this ************** good at making money, therefore, I am. No. Don't work that way. It's unrelated to you. Just like I can't give birth to children. It's not in the cards for my DNA. I can be a father, but I can't be a mother. You see, when I bring it that simple, people go, I get it. But then everybody thinks they can be a billionaire. People are, no. No. I don't need to be a billionaire. I need to make a hundred mil. You ain't gonna make a hundred mil either. You're probably not tough enough for that. You get big enough with money long enough, you're gonna get big lawsuits. You're gonna get governments. You're gonna get IRS. Most people can't handle that. I've gone through **** that would break a normal man. I'm not saying I'm the toughest dude. I just pretty much bet you you couldn't handle some of the **** I've gone through. I've seen people become famous. They can't handle the hate. Common. Every person has I've been Google ranked searched number one before in the world. You're gonna get a lot of hate for that. Taxes. Till you you I never had never had any problems till you start doing fifty million a month. Then everybody gonna come out. I remember one of my companies got a lawsuit for for, I don't think, eighty, ninety million because we didn't have blind enabled websites. So lawyers in California out there suing everybody. We won that lawsuit, and they got dismissed by actually the California Supreme Court, but had to drop a couple hundred g's to defend a frivolous lawsuit. So I'm just saying, once you know your destiny, you're defended. You know where to go. Making more money is not always equipped equates with anything better. I was actually texting with a friend of mine today. He's one of the PayPal mafia. He's one of the twenty three guys who became billionaires working with Elon Musk. His destiny is not my destiny. He's in a his archetype is the accountant. He was the accountant, and he does well with that. I wouldn't. By the way, this Noah guy says you know your destiny. Oh, bet you don't. There's a good rule of thumb by the famous psychologist Carl Jung. He says as a rule, one's own judgment is extraordinarily clouded. It's very out of a million people I meet can name their instant archetype correctly. You know? Now I private mentor. It's one the big things I do. Once once you understand your like, I I have a guy out of Canada. He just came into my mastermind. Okay? This is a dude who's made money. He sold a company, not for a ton of money, but he sold a company without going into his confidential for between one to ten million bucks. K? So he may you know, he's got a couple million liquid. He's not hyper rich, but he's wealthy. You know? He's rich, not wealthy. But he was about to start going out buying mobile homes. He's like, oh, I'm gonna make money in mobile homes. I said, Is that your archetype? Are you the real estate guy? Just because someone else made money in real estate, what the hell does that have to do with you? Just because a woman gives birth to a child, just because a man's a power lifter has no correlation with my life, but yet almost every one of you is following another man's dream. You're following another man's archetype. You're following another man's destiny and you can't do it. Yeah. Prediction market wails on TikTok says happy or back. Let's freaking go. I never left, but I do a lot of stuff. So I'm such a fan of every man and every woman here picking your archetype. Someone's this guy is saying, what are the archetypes? I'm live five places. So I don't have time to go through all of them. There's about twenty archetypes. But there's things like I said, simple ones, mother, father. There's the warrior. There's the general. There's the the guru or the mentor. There's the healer, like the doctor is ancient. There's the shaman, the spiritual person, the priest. There's the ad there there's the advocate. That's the person who protests unfair. There's the judge. You know, there's there's the merchant buys low. That's what Jeff Bezos is. Jeff Bezos didn't try to do many things. He just said, I do one thing. I buy low, sell high. That's Amazon. And he became the top three wealthiest people in history. You got other people, for example. You can go through the wealthiest people. Elon Musk, none of you will guess Elon Musk. Who can guess what his archetype is? See, Elon Musk trick. He he knew himself from age six. What what's his I'll give you I'll give five hundred bucks of Bitcoin. Somebody names what is his archetype. Shaman? No. He's not spiritual, dude. Nope. Nobody here is gonna guess it. I'll give you all in a second. You're not gonna be able to get creator? No. That's not an ancient archetype. Creator's too broad. Mother's a creator. Father's a creator. A carpenter is a creator. You know? The merchant? Nope. He doesn't buy low sell high. The genius? Nope. That's not an archetype. Any of the archetypes can be a genius. You're gonna have a genius father. You're gonna have a genius general. That's not an archetype. Autism? Nope. He's not a priest. Nope. Engineer. That's the closest, but that's not the correct answer. Watch. I'm live on five ******* platforms. Ain't nobody by the way, some of you who are making real money and even those of you who aren't, you should go into my private client program. If you're on Instagram direct, just comment on this livestream the word private. I'm not sure if it works on my Facebook. Comment private. We can talk in the DMs. Drop everything you're doing, my friend. If you really want the good life, health, wealth, love, happiness, how could it start from anywhere except one thing? How could it start from anywhere except one thing, which is knowing thyself? The rebel? Nope. Visionary? Nope. Visionary would maybe be the prophet. He's definitely not an accountant. He has a visionary, but what do we mean visionary? Do you mean like a prophet? Healer? It's funny. Nobody's gonna get polymath. Nope. That's not really one. Noah says, Todd, let me coach you. You're gonna coach the OG? Nah. The people who can coach me, I gotta be able to Google you. All the people who are eligible to coach me are well known. Now I learn from everybody, but nothing you're gonna be my mentor. Mentor is higher level. The sage, nope. Disrupter, nope. Attractor, nope. I'm gonna give everybody ten more seconds. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three. Should I give everybody a little bit longer maybe? Come on. Somebody can get this. Who can get it? Who can get it? What do we got? I mean, you want a hint? It starts with a t. Who can I'll I'll start with that. What can we do? Explore. That's close, but not quite. That's not quite what Elon Musk is. What is he? Chaotic actor? No. Tyrant? No. He's not really a tyrant. What is he? Tinkerer? Nope. Trailblazer is close, but you ain't getting that five hundred till you get this exact word. Tycoon? Nope. Alright. That was more than ten seconds. Traveler. Traveler. Think about it. When he was age six, he was playing with rocket ships to go bring people to Mars. Travel. His first big company he built and sold was a maps company. What do you use a map for? Traveling. Then his next company that made him a billionaire was not PayPal. It was Tesla. What do you do in a car? You travel. Hey, get in the car. We gotta go here. What's SpaceX? A very expensive traveling company. What's the boring company where he digs underground? Travel. Even his company, you know, that does satellites where they that's essentially what's the number one use of Wi Fi? Most common simple use you use Wi Fi and Internet connection every day? Maps. So no almost the number one use thing on people's phone, dude. Maps. Think how often you use maps. So travel. So he he understood his single of course, he's a genius and other things, but he's a traveler. It's a simple archetype. There's been travelers from long ago. He takes people traveling. He's almost the tour guide to the universe. So you're gonna have to find yourself, man. And I work with guys at this mastermind. My mastermind I did about ten days ago or a week ago in Hollywood. There's I got guys in there making there's a dude in there who did well, his net worth liquid is over two hundred and fifty million. And he's over fifty years old, and he didn't really know his archetype. We worked through it in two days with me. And he's like, dude, this changed my life. He's like, over sixty years old getting his life changed or over fifty years old. So each of you, until you find that, you're kinda wasting your time. Most people are wasting their time in life. They're wasting their time. What do I mean by that? Well, they're making money but in another man's dream. And one thing I've learned, like, I've been at the different levels of net worth, man. In in my life, I've been in almost the different whatever level you're at. I've broken you know, I remember being worth my first one million. That was probably, I don't know, two thousand five or six, twenty years ago. I remember being at my ten million and breaking the net worth there and be like, woah. That's a big deal. You know? And I remember ten x ing and breaking a hundred mil, and you're like, woah. But you know what? None of that works until you are protected by doing your one thing. So drop everything, man. People think the most important thing is getting married or having kids or finding your career or getting healthy. All those are important, hitting a gym, but they ain't more important than this. I'll bet against any man who doesn't have his map in life. I'll bet against any man who doesn't have a map to life. See, have a map. I know my internal word is is explorer. So it doesn't matter if people make more money than me or more success. I'm only competing with myself. Who am I competing with? You? No. It's a single player game. Everything else is just an illusion for you. I might not be real. Some astrophysicists will say, there's a chance Ty's not real on this livestream right now. What's your archetype? You must figure this out. This is life. Now I'll give you a couple tools to figure this out. Number one, what are your enemies compliment you on accidentally? What do your haters accidentally compliment you on? Not on purpose. So I'll give you an example. For me, people that hate on me, you know, be like, Todd's not a good businessman. He's just a great marketer. In the comp accidental compliments of your haters, you find truth. Because they're not gonna delusionally compliment you. Your mom will. You will to yourself. Your friends will delusionally compliment but your haters won't. That's why you need to villain max. I villain max. I'm not afraid of being a villain to some people. You're always a villain to somebody when you get big. You could save the world, and ten percent of the world would be suspicious of you. So for me, as I think through life, I'm like, wait a second. I'm the explorer. I just need to compete with other explorers. By the way, one of the problems with all of you is you're competing against everybody. You can't do that. I compete against one one group. You're also being mentored by too many people. Almost every person fall here is following too many people. You know the real problem with social media? It's not what you think. People and and people think the problem with social media is everybody getting shorter attention spans. That is true. It's not the main problem. What's the main problem with social media? Who do you think it is? Can someone answer? What's the main problem with social media? Who can think of it? Distraction? Nope. It is a problem, but it's not the biggest problem. Too much information? Warm but not hot. Isolation? Warm but not hot. There's a truth to that. You lose time. Yeah. But there's a bigger problem. Misinformation? That's not the biggest problem. Someone said competition, you're getting warmer. Think about what I was just saying. Okay. Polyus Lenta on Instagram. You're closer. Comparison. Still not got it. What is the let's say you wanted to destroy the world. You're an alien. And you and you weren't allowed to just explode, you know, bomb the world. What would you do? You weren't allowed to just annihilate it. See if any saturation prevents people from being together physically. Yeah. But it also connects people to you find long lost friends. Comparison is close. Oh, there we go. Closer. Hannes Linman Stones. You follow other archetypes. Close. About ninety percent there. That one's close enough, maybe. Too many people that you follow? Yeah. So let me just give you the actual answer. Nobody quite got it, and I'll give it kind of in a sentence. Number one, crazy things go more viral. That's number one. Extremes go more viral. Does everybody agree with that? Extreme women being extremely sexy goes more viral. People having extreme political views go more viral. Right? Kind of the weirdest version of everything going on. So that's number one. The extreme goes viral. Number two, here's the problem. Let's take money. A lot of people know me for business and making money as an entrepreneur. So what happens is you see these extreme cases of people making money, and then you chase that. But it's not your destiny to make that much money. So destiny maxing is destroyed by social media. That's the problem. Destiny maxing. Every one of you I'm telling you if Listen. I'm the OG man. I may not be the top g, but I'm the absolute OG in this space. I don't even think my haters would fight that. I built my first funnel online in o one. Not one ******* person on the Internet has been scaling like me since o one. I scaled in o one. I scaled in o eight. I was one the first people on Facebook ads, YouTube ads. I was one the first people to hit a million on Snap. I've been following catching trends, dude. I was bought my first business in two thousand three. Bought my first piece of real estate in Raleigh, North Carolina two thousand four. I'm I'm way ahead of the game. So I'm gonna tell you something that you'll never get from any other person. Okay? When you don't destiny, Max. So you see this dude who made a trillion dollars buying car washes. You go, **** yeah. Car washes. Look at that extreme. This guy has Lamborghinis and mansions from. But that's a specific archetype. The real estate real estate person, real estate investor is an ancient archetype. There was people a thousand years ago in Rome. Crassus, one of the richest men in history, he bought up all the real estate after there was fires in Rome. That's a specific archetype. If you don't have it, you're not maxing out your destiny. Therefore, you're no longer protected. And you could make a billion dollars and it would be taken away from you most likely. The odds are against you, my friend. Odds or a billion dollars would be taken from you. Happens all the time. That happened to the current president. He made a bill, and then he was two billion in debt. Happens all the time. It's not authenticity. Authenticity maxing is okay. It's not as good as the word destiny maxing. Authenticity look. You can pursue your destiny in an authentic way or an inauthentic way. So I'm not gonna I don't like the word authenticity. It's too broad. It's not an archetype. You know? It's an there's authentic people in every business and some that are not authentic in every business. So I like the word Destiny Max. Don't try to improve on it. Each of you, I'm telling you, I can change your life like this once you Destiny Max. I can change your life. What if your life is the healer? And then you ain't in you're not in you're not healing people. What are you doing? You ain't gonna win. Some of you are a healer. Why are you not Destiny Maxine? Let me tell you. Listen very closely. I've never done a talk like this. It's only now that I'm, I think, officially the OG that I talk about this. Like, I've been through everything, dude. I see a hundred percent of people you follow, I did it first. That's except maybe Gary Vee. Anything you see. Live streaming. I was making money on live streaming in two thousand twelve, dude. Making millions fifteen years ago before any streamers. All this **** you see. So just listen to me. I don't say this to brag. This is my destiny. I'm an explorer. You know what an explorer does? They go somewhere first. I've been there in almost anything you wanna do. Farm, I got one. Everybody wants to have a farm and homestead now. I've had one for twelve years. So listen. Here's what happens. You think you have to do something for money. That's why you're not Destiny Maxing. You ain't Destiny Maxing because either your mom or your dad lied to you and said, you gotta do this for money. I remember my dentist years ago in Raleigh, North Carolina. I'm laying back on the chair, and he had this beautiful painting on the ceiling. Literally, like, you know, like Rome when you go to the Sistine Chapel. And I asked the guy who painted that? He goes, me. I said, really? Why aren't you a painter? He said, oh, my mom and dad told me to make money. I had to be a dentist. Well, guess what the number one depressed occupation on earth is in in upper class jobs? Dentists. You should only be a dentist if your archetype is to be a healer. That guy, his ancient archetype was to be an artist. You can Destiny Max and it will work out. I said, number one thing, I don't even get depressed often. But when I do is when I saw another dude who was similar to me and he embraced his destiny and I chased money and how much better of a life even if I'm richer? See, my destiny is not I'm not a merchant. Merchant is the richest guys on earth kind of the Jeff Bezos. Even in many ways, Mark Zuckerberg. He's a merchant. He makes his money from Facebook ads. He buys low and sells ads to you high. The Google guys are merchants. I'm not a merchant. I respect it. Grant Cardone is more of a merchant. And in our industry, he's made the most money. But he's a guy that learned from me because I'm the explorer teacher. I'm the explorer mentor. Sometimes people got tied. If you knew how to make money, you wouldn't be a teacher. Yes. What do you mean? You're spitting in the face of every great teacher in history. It's a destiny to be a teacher, to be a guru, to be a mentor. It doesn't mean you don't just do it for the money. Obviously, I do it. Part of it is the money, but I would do it if you gave me a choice. And by the way, I don't even have a choice. That's the illusion you all have that you actually have a choice. You don't have a choice. It's called bounded rationality. There are boundaries. You have no choice, my friend. But when you do have a choice is to resist what I'm saying and die broke and depressed. That's within your power. That's within your power. But to win at another man's game is not within your power. You look at Ronaldo, the Greek football, the soccer player. He has a special set of genetics. Now he works hard because he's destiny maxing. But if if he tried to play American basketball, he's not tall enough. He's like six foot. That's a perfect somebody said, okay, Tate. I'm the OG. Before you knew Tate. I knew Tate. That's no hate on anybody, but don't don't do that. You this guy, Josh OP, knows nothing. Some of you are too young in the game. Let me let me bring you back to reality. Let me bring you back, brother. When when talking to the o g, you don't be like, well, you were sound no. Mister Beast is one of my students. Iman Gazzi is my student. These guys started with me. Okay. Just once in while, you gotta put a ************ in his place. That and by the way, I hope every person who's been one of my students beats me. That's the great what's the greatest accomplishment? What's the greatest accomplishment of a teacher? That each of his students surpass them. I do Brazilian jujitsu. Of my mentors is Horion Gracie. He's a red belt. He invented the UFC. He sold it to Dana White in nineteen ninety nine. You know? And he when I talk to him, it's like he's older than me, a lot older than me. And you will find out one day. For him, his destiny was not he wasn't like Dana White. He wasn't the guy that was gonna make the money. Cornel Grace Eve was a wise mentor who Destiny Maxed in his destiny. He doesn't have to worry that he sold it for whatever, millions of dollars and didn't make billions. That doesn't matter. I'm a tell you, all of you will be depressed until you destiny max. Then you have no depression. Another man makes more money than you in a different industry? That's because he's a merchant. Let him make. Merchants make the most. Traders make a lot of money. They're similar to merchants. I have a a guy who's in my private client program. He's in my million dollar program. Pay me a million bucks a year. And he he before this war that recently happened, he spent a little bit of money, put two hundred thousand into buying oil calls, and he made four million in seven days. That's his thing. He's always been good at trading. He bought gold when it was low. He has hundreds of millions of Bitcoin. Like, that's the guy. So you a lot of you, social media depresses you because you're seeing another now some of you, the salesperson is an archetype. Some of you aren't salespeople I mean, are salespeople, but you haven't destiny matched because you see another guy who's not in sales. He makes a lot of money, and you're like, wanna be like that guy. You can't. You have no choice. There's no free will in this matter. You think that the modern world has brought up the illusion of free will. Okay? That's the illusion of free will. The illusion of free will is that problem with modern social media. You see one dude and he he trades forex and he trades stocks and he makes billions and you're like, that's for me. But is it? Is that the authentic you? You'll know. Now let me give you a couple practical thing. By the way, for those of you watching on Instagram or Facebook, if you wanna work with me privately in my either my mastermind or my inner circle or my I have three levels. My mastermind, I really have four, but I have my mastermind, inner circle, and private client. Just message me the word private, and and I'll share some of this. We can talk privately. I have a whole system that you work with me for anywhere from three to twelve months. And I have different ones if you can't quite afford it. I've got, like, my accelerator program. So just you can comment the word private. Anyway, so let me give you a couple practical ways to figure out your one word archetype. So number one number one, and very important one, I already gave you. What do your haters accidentally compliment you on? They give you the answers. Again, for me, people will be like, oh, I don't like Thai. This dude is just a good marketer. Okay. Well, if my haters will admit I'm a good marketer, for sure, I'm a marketer. So my one of my ancient archetypes too, over time, you'll develop a few of them. Start with one is kind of a sales guy. I'm persuasive. That's I'm more of a guru than a teacher. Now in the modern world, guru is considered a negative word, which just shows you how stupid the modern world is because guru is the greatest honor. Guru, prophet, that's the that's the most honored people in history. Now I'm not saying I go in the level of all history, but many people see me as kind of a guru. Guru is a combination between a teacher, a mentor, and maybe a prophet kind of thing. Sees things early. So for me, I just go, how do I max this sucker out? Whatever that looks like. If that puts my net worth at one dollar or one trillion, so be it. It's a single player game. By the way, most religions teach this. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, all of the common sense, old school ways of thinking, they knew this. Now we live in a modern world where everybody is told you can be anything. So the second most important thing you'll take away is you can't do anything. In fact, at best, you'll be good at two things in your entire life. My grandpa's kind of a famous scientist. He was a marine biologist at Yale professor when he was young, and in his fifties, he became an astrophysicist. He was published in Nature in nineteen seventy three. You can look it up. The the number one scientific journal. He was very smart and just two things in his entire life. You you're not gonna be three. Some of you start naming, oh, I'm good. Remember, it's competitive advantage. So you can't say, I'm, you know, this, that because I like it. So the third thing is just because you like it doesn't automatically make it your destiny. I like playing basketball, but I'm not good enough to play pro basketball. So you can have hobbies outside of your destiny, but don't spend too much time on them. So number one, your haters will accident. What did your mom, when she's mad at you, say about you? Oh, you're this, that. You know? Your mom could be a hater too. So number two, as I said, you're really gonna be one thing, maybe two, if you're super talented. Number three, it's not what you love that's always your destiny. Hopefully, don't hate it, but there have been people that hated their destiny. Jesus Christ in the bible, you know, talk he didn't like his path. He did it because it was his destiny. You know? You see in the Old Testament of the Bible, David said, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. His destiny brought him through the valley of the shadow of death. If you're the war warrior archetype, I was watching a a TikTok or a tweet a Twitter x video. They post kinda uncensored about these guys in the Ukrainian war posting from the foxhole before they died and saying, this is probably our last video. We're gonna send this to our family. Their destiny was a warrior. You know? And so but they didn't fail because they didn't get rich. One thing I really disagree with with almost every guru out there, almost every dude you follow out there, I really disagree. Most of them are my friends, but I would debate every one of them. They'll say things like, well, as a man, unless you make half a million bucks a year, you're a failure. That's not I'm telling you, not only is that too extreme, but it's actually verifiably false. Now I do agree. If you want a good life, you should try to have above average income for the city you live in. So if your destiny is not to make a ton of money because you're a healer, Maybe you're the charitable altruist. You know? Sometimes healers, you shouldn't be in it. If you're a doctor, you shouldn't be in it for the money, man. The healer's destiny is to heal anyone from poor to rich, whether you can afford them or not. You may have to move cities. Even where you should live must be tied into your destiny. Should you live in Brazil, where you can live off two grand a month? You know? So some of you need to move to embrace your archetype. I don't agree that every man is a failure unless he makes, you know, a million a year. This is nonsense. It sounds good and it goes viral, but it's incomplete. Now on that note, some of you have the destinies to make ten million, and you are underperforming it. You're the merchant. You're the trader. And you're out here, you know, just wasting your time. You might be becoming a dentist. Not everybody's a healer. It's there's no sacred professions. You know? That's where different. Like, if you study, like, Indian, Hindi I mean, Hindu kind of understanding. You have this caste system where some people are born, and the highest caste is the Brahmin, kind of spiritual people, and then you have the warrior caste, I think. And then I think you have the merchant, and then you have down to the untouchables. The problem with that, even though I understand the mindset, that was a genetic thing, There is some truth that super intellectual people give birth to babies that have higher intellectual IQ. And people who are stronger in the working class give birth to kids that are stronger. But we now have better science on that. What there is is an individual destiny that is called ESS, evolutionary stable systems. Nature disperses different things. So even in one family, you'll have a healer, a prophet, a father, a mother, a warrior in that same family. So you should never make class systems automatically. Right? It's a mistake. Probably they had the right intention, but they didn't understand what we know now. For sure, you can see this at a brain scan level. Some people are more academically intelligent. That's the scholar. That's an ancient archetype. But you also have the artist. And what about the socialite? I hire from a sales team. Usually, I haven't found the high IQ people are great at sales. They overthink it. What I like, I like the guy who's the socialite. Good with people, reads people, high EQ, understands how to read people. Their destiny is often in sales. You know? My stepdad sadly, you know, had a lot of mental issue issues, actually ended up in a insane you know, I I don't call that anymore an asylum. Got put there by a got put there by a, you know, judge because he he wasn't socialite. And instead, he became a technologist, a computer programmer, and was depressed every day of his life. Okay. How other ways can you find your archetype? With a mentor, with a guru, it's hard to find it on your own. God, it's hard. In fact, I would say for eighty percent of people, it's not possible. Nietzsche, the famous philosopher, said the mind is an impenetrable fortress. You only found find out about yourself through friends and enemies, so it's outsiders that find your destiny for you. And so you're gonna have to socialize more, but you also need wise people in your life. There's people whose destiny is a guru, mentor, teacher. Keep those people in that life. Keep those people in your life, my friend. Keep those people in your life. Seek them out. Pay them. People think, oh, Todd, you sell mentor programs to just make money. No. I've been paying mentors before I ever had the idea to launch. I I realized I could pay people to get their attention because a mentor has to make money to feed his family. So you can pay him. You can buy books. You're paying the author. That's paying a mentor. You know? Okay. Someone says Headspace app is helpful for reflection on guru wisdom. You need mentors who know you personally, by the way. People confuse advice with mentorship. Advice is like a book I get. I can get advice, but I can't get mentorship. The book doesn't ask me questions and say, oh, that's what you should do. Someone said, Ty, looking good in that black turtleneck. It's not a turtleneck, but I appreciate that. Is a UFC fighter an entertainer or a warrior? Great question. So remember every man can have two. Connor McGregor, he he follows me on Twitter. X. He's I see him popping in, liking my tweets sometimes. He's an interesting case because he's clearly a warrior, but he's also the entertainer. Remember, he has all those funny things. Go, who the **** is this guy? Like, he's great. He's very witty. And he was able to make his, you know, whiskey alcohol brand and make hundreds of millions of dollars. So he is both. That's his two words. He's the warrior. That's an ancient archetype, but also the entertainer. When you can combine two, you become very powerful. So I'm gonna say, Ty, how old are you? You look younger and younger each year. That's because I follow my archetype. You know what's crazy? You will look younger right away when you follow your destiny. When you Destiny Max, someone says, why is your house empty? No. This is I'm traveling. This is a big Airbnb penthouse apartment, so I just picked where I had good light to stream. I got these hallways behind me. So very important that each of you realize that this actually has effect on your physical body. My first mentor, Joel Salatin, whose archetype is farmer. I don't know why more dudes don't have the farmer archetype. Dude, if you want a good life, farmer. Someone says it's your peptides. I haven't been on peptides in a long time, really. I've tried everything on the explorer. I've done TRT. I've done I probably stopped TRT in two thousand two or something. I've done steroids. I've done nothing. I've done you know? I'm an explorer. You know? Someone says, what archetypes usually do best in online fitness coaching? Well, the teacher. But also there's the there's an ancient archetype, like I said, that's the leader, kinda like the general. So personal brands often do well when you're a leader of people. It makes sense. Right? A lot of people will follow you. So if I was a if if I'm trying to build, a personal brand and fitness, let's say, I'm still not building it till I figure out my my destiny. What's my destiny maxing need to look like? You know? I'm a I'm a book guy because books help me explore easier. Instead of me having to travel the world, I can read a book by somebody who's been to Namibia or Bangladesh. So everything I do is a subset of Destiny Maxi. Does that make sense? Tire is still on the shoe of the day? No. I mean, I do sometimes. What do you do for clarity of mind? All these are sub c. These were everybody even lied to. You think there's a hundred things you have to get right in your life, and you need to do this, and you need this daily routine. You need to wake up at three in the morning. Who hears this daily routine ****? Oh, you gotta wake up at three in the morning, jump in the cold water. This is how you get successful. No. Carl Icahn, one of the most famous billionaires in America, one of my mentors was his lawyer for a decade. He said, Carl Icahn wakes up at one PM. It was a huge problem. He's like, this billionaire in New York City, everybody else in New York was waking up at five in the morning. He's like, *****, I'm rich. He'd wake up at one PM. So what time you wake up is not directly correlated to your financial success. I told you. Because, unfortunately, I'm the only person I think in the world. Maybe Tony Robbins talks a little bit about destiny, but in a very different way than me. I don't know why I'm the only guy talking about this. Probably because I'm an explorer. Explore I was talking about Google Ads in two thousand one. People are like, people still ask me in twenty twenty six. Should I do Google Ads? I'm like, yeah. You're about twenty five years late. People say, can I do Facebook ads? Yeah. I ran my first campaign when I moved to Hollywood and bought in two thousand nine. It's been available forever. Like, what are you talking about? So I'm telling you this one. We have a problem. It's a crisis in this world. It's a crisis in this livestream. You are chasing a man's man's destiny. It's like chasing this. You ever known a woman who's super in love with a dude? She loves him no matter what. He could be ugly, fat. I remember I used to do big house parties when I was starting up in two thousand nine in Hollywood. This guy would come with a girl. I mean, broke every rule you would hear about Lux Maxine. Broke every rule about hype you know, people talk about hypergamy and all this, how what women are attracted. This dude, I thought he was her gay manager because she was like, I've been in I've been around a lot of beautiful women. I I was owned was the second largest owner of Willamina Models for years. It's the largest publicly traded model agency in the world. I've been around beauty. This woman was the most shockingly pretty woman, and she'd come with this little short Mexican guy. And after about three parties, three months, I realized they were making out. I'm like, how did this dude get this girl? Well, sometimes it's outside of your control. There's women that just decide they like a dude, and she liked him. She became his destiny. And so in the same way that that happens in dating, it also happens in overall life. Your destiny I don't know why you're destined to be a father. You're a farmer. You're destined to be a merchant. You're destined to be a prophet. I'm destined to be explorer. I have no idea. It's it's God. If or if you're an atheist, you can call it frequency dependent selection, FDS. That's what an evolutionary atheist worldview would say. FDS, frequency dependent selection, or ESS, evolutionary staple strategies. Okay? If you wanna go to Harvard, that's what they'll tell you. If you're a Christian, God made all the snowflakes different. If you're Muslim, same thing. Right? So, by the way, if you're Buddhist, Buddha was this kid born to the richest, you know, family in his area of India, and he realized his destiny was not to be the rich kid. He was the guru, the Buddha. They now call a guru by his name. That's how you know you embrace your destiny. You get it's named after you. Every man who gets rich, every man who gets the right woman, they destiny maxed. Almost always. That's what they have in common. I didn't know that when I was starting out. Nobody was talking about this. Now, like I said, I I I know personally twelve Ford plus guys, the richest of the rich. I know the elite. I know the quote unquote Illuminati personally. Known them for a long time. I understand there. I've also been poor. I graduated high school in a mobile home in Clayton, North Carolina. You ain't rich if you graduate high school living on a mobile home. Okay? I've been through it, man. I've been the most loved viral person almost in the world. I've been the fastest growing Instagram. I've done all that ****. I'm an explorer, man. I've lived in America. I've lived in Brazil. I've lived in Dubai. I've lived in Australia. I've lived in Sweden and Denmark and Norway and Finland and London and I lived in Puerto Rico and, know, you name it. And all I'm saying is it's all a waste until you figure out your destiny. You're just a lost sheep, man. And if you wanna get protection, if you wanna be transformed, you'll listen to the replay of this. I'll put the replay on my Instagram. Play this. I don't make any money if you play. I don't get paid for views. Okay? Go to my Instagram where I'll replay this. It's just my. Fall asleep listening to it. Not because I'm so perfect of a person, but because this is important and nobody's ever told you this. So that's what you gotta do because you may not have heard this whole stream. But this in many ways is the most important stream I've ever done. I did this talk only once before at my private mastermind last week in Hollywood. And afterward, I went to bed and I was like, this is the most important talk I've ever had. And I don't think I could have done it ten years old. I needed ten years ago. It was my destiny now. I needed to become the OG. I'm the OG, and I don't think anyone will challenge me on that. You see what I'm someone says, Todd, does it look like you're streaming in IKEA? It's because I'm in Scandinavia. That's where IKEA is from. Sweden is pretty close to where I am right now. I'm right around the corner. So that's their style. IKEA is from Sweden. Okay. Let me take some questions on this before I go. How can Destiny Match be impacted by high inflation and pandemics? Okay. This is a great question on Facebook here. I'm live in five places. Very important. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter about the economy. If you're Destiny Max for example, I'm an explorer. I'm a guru. I've made the most money teaching in the biggest recessions. I've I've been through three big recessions. O one it's a big one, the tech bubble. O eight, that was the housing crisis. Now depending on how you look, you could say there was a couple others for sure. Twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, the quarantine. And you could say we're in a fourth one now. I've been able to scale and make millions through every one of those. And so one of the things that you've been lied to because nobody told you how to Destiny Max is they're like, well, who who the president is really affects you. It does a little bit. Joe Biden was not great for me in my industry. It knocked me back a little bit. You get these anti entrepreneur presidents. It's not great, but it's not the main problem. All your battles for the most part are between your own ears. Unless you have a terminal illness, all defeat is psychological. Unless you have some real terminal illness, most of the problems you're dealing with have nothing to do with your economy. Even the city you're in, especially now. You you could live in Nairobi, Kenya and learn high ticket sales or build a marketing agency and be selling to American business owners. They don't care. You could be charging ten thousand a month. You could be charge I charge, you know, twenty five to a hundred thousand upfront to work with me. And I I could I've lived many places. I've done that from my farm. I have a farm in the middle of an Amish community. It's almost off the grid. I don't even use tractors. I use horses, and I can make a million bucks doing that. So embrace your destiny, and most of the things that bother you will go away. I'll tell you what, dating. A lot of people now single. A lot of people lonely. Who who here is not sure if they should get married? Who here is not sure if you should have children? Okay? Let me tell you. You Destiny Max first. You Destiny Max first, and then everything falls into place. It's kinda like the Bible says, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all things will be added unto that. That's an ancient teaching that goes back even before the New Testament of the Bible. Seek first the kingdom, that's your destiny. Every man has a different kingdom, and all things shall be added on to that. Health. People say, Ty, why do you live why do you look younger than you are? I mean, I look older than I was ten years ago, for sure. You know, every man ages, but I don't age that fast. I have the WHOOP. I have all this. I'm way younger biologically than I'm chronologically. That's because I I haven't done perfectly, but I've kind of done it by accident. Nobody was teaching this. You know? I wish I was taught this. Someone said, Ty, I think there's a ghost with you. Does it look like there's a ghost behind me? What do you think? Do I think raw milk is a superfood? What is your destiny, the healer? Okay. Is that your destiny? Then you should be pursuing that question. What's your take on StrengthFinder? These are subpar ways of talking about what I'm talking about. Not trying to be cocky, but they're kind of subpar. So hold on one sec. Those are subpar. Your index finger is yeah. You can see some of your destiny here. I have a high testosterone finger, shorter estrogen, but that's not your destiny. That's more your style. Ty, I never knew about you. I never saw your livestreams. I never saw your content. I came today for the first time, and you say it's the most important stream. It's your destiny, man. I might not be real. I could be I could be used by destiny. That's how all teachers are. People come in and out of your life. You're not sure why they came in at into your life at that time, but then you find out later why. You know? Someone said you should record yourself, analyze for patterns. That does not how you find your destiny because you could just be repeating the same mistakes, then you'll watch you you yeah. So I'm not a huge fan of people who try to internally find their own deal. You know? Yeah. How could you learn if you wanna learn Chinese, would you go lock yourself in a room and my destiny is to speak better Chinese, so let me just lock myself in a room. No. You'd have to get more social. You know? You'd have to get more social. You'd have to go spend time in China or release around Chinese people. So it's the same way. You will win when you get more social. Used to I stay social daily even when I don't feel like it. And by the way, if you're failing right now, is the most important time to get social. See, everyone has it backwards. I'm thank god that I learned about this from my mentors. The natural inclination of your sinful, flawed brain, if you wanna use the religious terms or atheistic word, we have cognitive biases, is that when things aren't going well, you stay home more, you lock yourself in your room. It's a classic sign of depression is to cut off and isolate yourself. Well, that's how you die physically and mentally. And so I become more social, the worst things are going. The time you should isolate is when you're winning. You need to isolate so you don't get cocky. I used to go to my farm, you know, when I was really pushing to become one you know, get ten million followers like I have on social media. Like, when I was in that phase of life, then I'm like, yo, I wanna explore what it's like to be famous. I would go to my farm more. You know? I got a farm in middle of nowhere in a teeny county that only the whole county only has two thousand people. I also live in was living in Los Angeles, which the county of LA, greater county, has seventeen million. So I'd go from a seventeen million person area, you know, Southern California to the middle of nowhere Appalachia farm. So just remember that. Who here is winning so much that you should be isolating? And who here is not winning and should be getting more social, should be interacting more? I called it to you. You wanna get wealthy? Two hundred fifty flight rule. You'll be wealthy once you do two hundred and fifty flights. People are going, oh, dad. I don't have the money and the time. Well, okay. What came first? The chicken or the egg. Elon Musk is two hundred fifty flights a year even before he was the richest man on earth a decade ago. Then I mean, people go, oh, I'm gonna do it on a Zoom call. Okay. You're do it on a Zoom call? No. You're not. If he needed to fly two hundred fifty times, you might two thousand. Ty, why hate on stocks so much? I know people who made billions. Well, to be clear, if your destiny is the trader, then you absolutely should trade stocks, trade forex, trade crypto. I got a guy in my private client program recently got into my program. It's a hundred grand a year. This is for wealthy guys. And he made he started my mastermind in twenty fifteen when he was a poker player, made five hundred thousand at that point. That was his net worth. Doing well, but not crazy wealth. And then, you know, he's worth about fifty million now. And what's his destiny? His destiny was to be a trader. He traded stocks. He traded crypto. Everything he touched like that pretty much turns to gold. So are are you sure you're the destiny you're destined to be a trader? Are you good with math, Highly logical mind? All those kind of things. Yours is a public speaker. That's not really a public speaker is not really you could argue an ancient archetype destiny is a orator. A public speaker. The public speaker at what many types of archetypes are public speakers. Generals who lead armies are public speakers. Napoleon, you know, general Grant, Robert E. Lee in America. They were generals, and they were great speakers in the moment. But I don't think that's usually an archetype. Thoughts on antidepressants. Most people are on antidepressants primarily. Sometimes it's genetic, but a lot of people simply because they haven't found their destiny and nobody taught them. They went to get a college degree because mom said this will make the most money or they googled it. You know? You said you're this guy, Raw and the electrician says your archetype is like David from the bible. What do you mean? Didn't David kill the husband of the Bathsheba's that he wanted to sleep with? Is that your archetype? You kill men when you wanna sleep with their wife? What part of David in the Bible? Is it possible not to have an archetype? I I not really. I think everybody has one. I think everybody has one. You know? So don't go down that route. When you were twenty, what were you doing? I was a little bit similar to what I'm doing now just on a smaller scale. Every time I've embraced my destiny, all my life's worked out. Every time. So just do that. Listen to me. Just do that. Okay. Let me open this up before I go here in a little bit. John said David was a warrior, a prophet, and a king. Yeah. That's three archetypes, but he was also a musician. Didn't he write songs? What you mostly remember about David was his songs. He was a singer, a musician. Most most Christians don't know their actual not not criticizing you, but a lot of people don't know their actual bible stuff. What would liking solving problems be? Every archetype solves problems. A father archetype. By the way, one thing you'll notice when I do a livestream, nobody wants to embrace the simple archetypes, the farmer, the mother, the father, where statistically, that's what most people's destiny is. You you can't have out of eight billion people, one billion generals. Who the hell are they leading? Out of eight billion people, you can't have one billion mentor teachers that ratios off. You don't need one billion healers to eight billion humans. So the big problem I find is that nobody wants to be humble even though the richest man on earth is just the traveler. That's his archetype. He's just a traveler. Made him seven hundred bill. You know? I there's a woman who's a mother. I forget her Instagram. She influenced she has, five kids, and she launched a little supplement company to women who follow her. She making, like, a hundred million this year. You know? Why not the farmer? Whenever I do these live streams, it's like every dude can't just embrace a simple archetype. Simple doesn't mean poverty. Simple doesn't mean low status. Anyway, you don't have a choice of what the **** are you talking about. If it's your destiny to have a quote unquote low status by some random person's estimation archetype and destiny, then that's you. Someone said the Don Juan eternal child. You could call that the lover. Don Juan, Casanova, they were lovers. They loved to be in love. You know? Shelley won versus I'm a mom and now I'm becoming a grandmother. That's great. Now you need to by the way, then you once you know your destiny, you can make more money with it. I believe almost every archetype can make above average money. Not everybody can become a billionaire. Not everybody's gonna become a hundred mil. Not everybody's even gonna make ten mil. Most people can make a mil net worth, and that's enough in most parts of the world. David Grafagini. Yep. My Eulerian destiny. You were in my sixty seven steps. Matthew on TikTok, haven't I seen you in a movie before? I was in one movie as an extra. I thought of doing some acting stuff. Okay. I got ENTP in twenty seven sixteen. ENTP is not an archetype. It's not. That that that website sixteen personalities, which uses Carl Jung system, is not good for archetypes. It gives you weird things like you're the advocate. What the **** is that? Nobody knows. I like specific simple archetypes, not the advocate. You know? Should the former archetype sell a course on how to be a farmer? If their second word is teacher, yeah. Joel Salatin is my mentor. My first one, he's a farmer who's also a teacher, written twenty one books, does courses at his farm. RFK, the current, you know, health guru in America, listens to him, has his own podcast. Absolutely. People like to try to criticize course sellers because people are low IQ. You have two choices. You have a whole bunch of people that are teachers, maybe a million people, probably right, or you have universities. What do you think is better? You think universities has had a good outcome for people financially? No. It's not following destiny. That's why most people learn nothing. Only about thirty percent of people use their college degree. So yeah. No. If you got a good course, it can be your destiny. My sixty seven steps is top three courses on self development in modern history. People think selling a course, I mean, great. Don't buy it. I I I love look. There's a part of me that's very charitable, and I I like helping others. But there's also a part of me that's like, bro, let people be stupid. If it wasn't for the stupidity of other people, you wouldn't be able to get rich. That's my favorite Charlie Munger saying. When people go, I ain't gonna buy I still buy courses all the time. I just bought a course on how to do green screening. I already know how to green screen and get fifty million views on on social media from it. But I was like, maybe this dude who has a course is fifty bucks or something. I'm like, ****. Maybe he knows some secret. I don't know. I buy at least four courses a month for years. If other people think courses are a scam, I'm excited. I I might sigh up the world by, like, take all the cynical people just tell them you're right. Courses are horrible. Even though I know in my head, I'm like, ****. I bought a course in two thousand one by Corda Rudol on how to do Google Ads. Thank god. I was twenty years ahead of everybody. I bought a course in two thousand three by Carlton Sheets on how to buy real estate. I bought my first real estate in Raleigh, North Carolina. You know how cheap I could buy houses in two thousand three? Thank ******* god. Everybody almost in the world's been brainwashed that it it's a course. It's scam. I love it. So I'm I'm a big fan of people. Let your enemies be stupid. Like, you want smart enemies? No. That's how you lose. You study the Roman Empire. You know, Hannibal, big North Africa had an empire for centuries. Carthage, big empire. But then a smarter empire at the time had smarter leaders. The Roman Empire outsmarted them. Let your enemies be dumber than you. There's an old saying by Napoleon Bonaparte, never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. Be like, oh, hell yeah. Yeah. You're right, man. You're right. You're right. There's courses now on how to do live shopping. My friend has a course on how to do TikTok shops. Most people think it's a scam. He he he's got his students selling a hundred million a month. TikTok shops is an amazing way for everyday owner of people to make their first hundred k to a meal a year. But people think it's corset. Where else do you think you're gonna go to your local college and learn TikTok live streaming? Of course not. So just let the world let your enemies be morals. Beware of the smart hater. There's not many of those. Most smart people don't criticize. Skeptics are generally not intelligent people. Because if you're intelligent, you don't wanna be skeptical. You just wanna go do what works. You don't wanna talk about what doesn't. Think about it. I mean, one definition of IQ and smart is whoever gets what they want out of life. Whatever you want out of life. Who gets who's the smartest? Whoever got what they want out of life? So good. Ty, should you eject into your destiny or cautiously proceed? If you actually know your destiny, you should drop everything, almost change everything in in thirty to sixty days. Unless maybe you have kids that are relying on you, then you should take a year. Quit your job. That's not your destiny. No matter what destiny max. Destiny max means at all costs, pursue your destiny. At all costs. At all costs. That that's again, this is a more spiritual talking livestream than normal. What did Jesus Christ say? There's a story. And I'm using Jesus Christ because a lot of my followers, majority are in the United States. It's a Christian country. So but this applies to anybody. There was a rich man who came to him and said, what do I have to do? And Jesus said, sell everything and come follow me. And the man turned away sad, and Jesus Christ said it's harder for a rich man to enter the it's harder for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom. So he's he told sometimes he just destinymax. He said, sell everything. That's a message for a lot of you. See, I don't think Jesus hated rich people. He said at one time, and Caesar, they asked him, Augustus Caesar was alive at that time and was the richest man ever. And, you know, Augustus Caesar, when they said, should you pay taxes to Augustus Caesar? He said, give to Caesar what Caesar's and give to God what's God's. It's a very intelligent answer. And the reason it oh, did my audio go away? Oops. ****. I might need to stop this, and I don't know what happened. Let me turn my cell back on. Maybe it went off for a second. So anyway, my point being, he was saying that guy didn't that wasn't his destiny to be rich, so he needed to sell everything. So if that's you, you gotta sell everything. If that's you, you gotta sell everything. If you're destined to have money, then you continue to have money. Anyway, I'm gonna go rewatch this later. I'm going to go. I'll try to be on here soon here.
The One Word Destiny That Determines Your Success (Most People Get This Wrong)
Estimated Read Time: 8 minutes
The Power of One Word
There is a single question that determines more about your life than almost anything else. What is your one word destiny?
According to Tai Lopez, most people never answer this correctly, and that mistake quietly affects everything from income to relationships to long term fulfillment. The premise is simple. If you cannot define your path in one word, you are likely living someone else’s.
Your one word destiny defines your purpose, shapes your success, and determines the path you should follow in life.
“Money chases simplicity and runs from complexity.”
Most people move in the opposite direction. They chase complexity. More strategies, more information, more options. But the people who win tend to narrow their focus. They reduce everything down to a simple identity and build around it. That simplicity compounds over time. Complexity diffuses it.
Tai explains that everyone has both an internal and external identity. The internal is who you actually are. The external is how the world sees you. His example is that internally he is an explorer, while externally many people know him for knowledge. Everything he does is a variation of that internal identity. When those two align, decisions become easier and progress becomes more consistent. When they do not, friction shows up everywhere.
Archetypes and the Illusion of Choice
The idea of a one word destiny connects to something older than modern business advice. It connects to archetypes. These are timeless roles that have existed for thousands of years across every culture. Some people are naturally healers. Others are merchants, teachers, warriors, farmers, or artists.
The problem is that most people do not choose based on alignment. They choose based on what looks successful. Social media amplifies this mistake by constantly showing extreme outcomes. It creates the illusion that any path is available to anyone.
“Most men are running after someone else’s archetype.”
This is where things start to break. People see someone making money in a specific way and assume they should do the same. They follow trends, copy business models, and chase outcomes without asking whether the underlying role fits them. It can work temporarily, but it rarely holds.
When you are aligned with your archetype, you are naturally protected. You face less competition, you make better decisions, and you are more resilient under pressure. When you step outside of it, that protection disappears.
A useful example is Elon Musk. Most people describe him as a visionary or a genius, but the simpler explanation is that his archetype is a traveler. Every major company he has built revolves around movement. PayPal moves money. Tesla moves people. SpaceX moves humanity beyond Earth. The form changes, but the underlying pattern stays consistent.
The deeper point is that you do not have unlimited options. You cannot be everything. That idea is popular, but it is not practical. In reality, most people will only be exceptional in one area, or at most two. That limitation is not a weakness. It is what allows focus to turn into leverage.
Finding Your Archetype and Aligning Your Life
Identifying your archetype is not easy because self perception is unreliable. As Carl Jung noted, people are often blind to their own nature. The answer usually comes from outside feedback, not internal reflection.
“What do your enemies accidentally compliment you on?”
Friends and family often soften the truth. Critics do not. If multiple people describe you in a similar way, even when they are trying to be negative, there is likely something real there. Those patterns point toward your actual strengths.
At the same time, liking something is not enough. Interest and destiny are not the same thing. Someone can enjoy a field without having the traits required to compete in it at a high level. Ignoring that difference leads to wasted time.
Tai also challenges the idea that money should be the primary driver of decisions. He shares the example of a dentist who was naturally an artist but chose his career for financial reasons. The result was predictable. The income did not compensate for the lack of alignment. This is a common pattern. When people build their lives around what pays instead of what fits, they often end up dissatisfied.
This ties into a broader point about modern advice. Much of it focuses on tactics. Wake up earlier, follow a strict routine, optimize productivity. Without alignment, those tactics produce limited results. With alignment, even unconventional habits can work.
The real leverage comes from sequencing. Most people try to build a life by stacking goals. Career, money, relationships, health. The first step is identifying your archetype and aligning with it. Everything else builds from there.

TL;DR
Most people struggle because they chase success in areas that do not match their natural strengths. The key is identifying a single core archetype and building everything around it. When your actions align with that identity, decisions become easier, competition decreases, and results compound more consistently. When they do not, even success can feel unstable or unfulfilling.
