[01:19:19] S2: What what's what's what's what's it? What are you obsessed with? [01:19:22] S0: Well, there was... There's a lot of things on, like, relationships and purpose. You know, the one thing about the book I don't tell people is, like, whether whether their values, you know, like, you you choose your values, right, and what what is fulfilling. And and and so I have I have a couple theories about purpose and fulfillment. Like, think there's a lot of purpose born out there. I think it's complete bullshit. I think the purpose of life is to be happy, and purpose comes in design, and there's a lot of design cues from your your biology that tell you your purpose. The same design cues and a pair of scissors that tell you it's for cutting. Right? And so I think I have some theories about that. I won't go into the long story about it. But there's there's a there's a couple things. Relationships that that... Like, a lot of people wanted the cookbook version of this book. They're like, great. I get the high level concepts. Tell me what to do. You know? I don't think I wanna do that, but, you know, I can mix in some of that. [01:20:18] S2: Well, a lot of the books now are having like handbooks, I actually think I think those are cool. I'd like... I know that there's Design Your Life, which was that Stanford course. They had like a handbook. I did that like ten years ago. It was awesome. [01:20:30] S1: Nobody does the handbooks though. [01:20:32] S2: Dude, it was great. You buy them. [01:20:34] S1: Does them.

[01:20:35] S0: You can give it [01:20:36] S1: to them, nobody's gonna fill it in. [01:20:38] S0: Yeah, it's tough. I left it for other people to write the computer programs, to write the handbooks, to actually do the math, you know, to have you know, I want them to be in my church and go build it. I kinda wanted to be like Jesus and just like, you know, go forth and build a church. I'm out of here. You know, I mean, that type of thing, you know? Okay. Like, I I I don't wanna be the guy, You know? A lot of people write books to be the guy. I don't wanna be the guy. I wanna live my life. [01:21:02] S1: I wanna be Jesus, but I don't wanna be the guy. I mean, I'm was the guy. [01:21:06] S0: I just wanna be the guy. [01:21:07] S2: Well, Jesus got nailed to a cross, my friend. Like, there's a price to pay. [01:21:10] S0: Exactly. You can write... Yeah. Nailed to the fame cross. Right? Like, a lot of people write books, and it's like, they have the chorus and the podcast and the thing. As a matter of fact, there's a guy coming out named Austin, who... He is, like, the number one fan... My number one fan of the book, gives out the book all time, spoke at, like, conferences about the... About my my book, and he's like, hey. Can I do a Die With Zero podcast? I'm like, have at it. Have fun. I... There's... What... I'll do one show, but I don't wanna be the guy. Right? Like, I wrote the book to, like, have a fulfilling life, not to get famous.
