looking at this piece of land to invest in 1,100 acres of Virginia and it's a
big cornfield one of the big problems in the world bigger than carbon bigger than
global warming see how it's lighter up at the top of
the hill all the good soil washes to the bottom
it's called erosion and more important and solving global warming in the way
that you hear about in the media is fixing what's called carbon
sequestration basically it means if you protect the soil
don't let it erode it binds up in the soil all the things that go into the
atmosphere and cause global warming but what I made America wealthy was this
fertile base of soil which increased economic production at the beginning
like in 1718 even early 1900s now of course foods imported from all over but
a lot of the wealth of the world comes from soil and now you got these
harebrained ideas like ethanol instead of using gasoline a lot of these
regulations have unintended side to side effects remember for every action
there's an opposite and equal reaction so if you do ethanol quote-unquote to
save the world well then they plow up all these fields that are too steep that
really should be a pasture or woods they grow corn they destroy the soil that
caused erosion the good soil swaps down here to the bottom and it's very hard to
ever fix that by the way and then sure you can not use gasoline in a car and
use ethanol but it's like one step forward and two steps backwards so be
very careful you know when you are voting for whether it be a politician or
a law that you really understand what you're voting on you know especially
Route regulations of Mother Nature most people mean well but cause you know true
nightmare it's like the whole world's been plowed up for corn you go to
Australia I mean I'm sorry Brazil the rainforest why do you think they're
plowing it up and a lot of people think it's just for cows it's not just for
cows they're plowing it up a plant corn because of subsidies the government
subsidizes corn that causes other issues basically the rule of thumb is if you
don't have to intervene leave it alone so people Joel Salatin used to say some
people believe in salvation by legislation if we just had more laws and
more rules everything would be solving anything bad you see people are like oh
it's like during the 2008 housing crisis people are like they passed this thing
called the dodd-frank Act which was basically a way to ensure that financial
fraud would be diminished and it had good intentions but it causes all other
all kinds of problems like it runs small mortgage brokers out of businesses and
ends up the only people who can keep all the paperwork that the new law requires
our big corporations and they're the ones who caused the fraud in 2008 to
start with so you're trying to solve a problem and you end up literally
creating the problem again just magnified I'm reading a great book it's
called the art of strategy which talks about game theory all you entrepreneurs
you need to understand game theory because what game theory says is that
you can't just think of life from your side of the story you have to understand
things react so for example dodd-frank 2008 housing crisis six million people
lose their home bankruptcy people come in suicide the government sees things
from their side store like we'll just fix it by passing some new laws well
they forgot to think what will the other side do it's kind of like the art of
negotiation if you want to negotiate you can't just go oh I want to buy this
house for 250 grand so it's listed at 300 let me just tell
them I'll only pay 250 because in a perfect world they'd have no choice they
would just listen to you and go okay well you want 250 we wanted 300 but I
guess we got to sell it to you but in the real world with game theory it's
like a game you say I'll only pay 250 they say a few will sell to someone else
get out of my house and they close the negotiations and that's why if you read
like a book like the art of war one of the great business books it talks a lot
about this concept of the wise general plans the wise general sends spies the
wise general wins the battle without fighting
meaning you he thinks of the negotiation with the other side in a way that's
favorable to both it's kind of like what's going on right now with North
Korea and Donald Trump negotiating or calling each other names over this whole
North Korean missile crisis if you don't same game theory and you just start
passing laws or saying things rashly you have to remember they that causes
them to have a reaction good example of this in American history where America
probably made a big mistake there's a good documentary by Ken Burns just came
out on the Vietnam War and read but a couple months before I came out I was
reading this fascinating book on the Tet Offensive which was when America really
started to lose the war in Vietnam and what happened is JFK and even Presidents
before they meant well they thought Vietnam wasn't doing well because of
communism coming in so they sent troops so he sent troops to Vietnam with the
good intentions well you forget game theory now sudden you got people in
Vietnam that have a foreign quote-unquote invader even if you don't
think you're invader from your side of the story but what about their side
story they don't like it be like if a whole bunch of you know Chinese troops
landed in Los Angeles people will be freaking out even if there were a
quote-unquote peace mission and so what happens is because the powers that be at
that time and over time in the Vietnam War like Lyndon Johnson and what was his
guy McNamara or whatever one of these the Secretary of Defense they made huge
mistakes you ended up having 250,000 American troops I think work were
wounded 50,000 were killed or 58,000 McNamara all these people what good
intentions probably ended up causing calamity I saw one of the interviews
with a North Korean soldier he said people often asked who won the Vietnam
War and he said people ask that question
I've never been to war no one wins a war it's just destruction so that was an
interesting statement and anyway so you gotta be smart in life I guess is the
whole gist of everything I'm talking about you got to have a little insight
into the world and you have to have the ability so I tell people to travel by
traveling are you good to see both sides of the story how the world is you know
that's why I'm such a big fan of some level disruption of the current
education system because current education system then talk about things
like I'm talking about very well and if they do they communicate around a boring
way so nobody remembers them again people go look at the education system
with force testing they thought they make schools better by requiring by
judging schools by how well they do oh dear
look how many dear there are holy crap
how many dear was that Kate ten or twenty more got a snapchat that
put a ten deer running away ten deer jumped up snapchatting but modern
education system they said oh we'll just pass laws that you only you're judged by
how you don't standardized tests they forgot that every action has an opposite
equal reaction so guess what happens teachers start focusing just on making
their students pass the test not making them have real comprehension and spare
it if there's some more so the whole school system becomes about memorization
and then dumping it I caught it pump and dump that comes from a
different different background but I that's what I'm reminded of do you
basically pump if Meishan in students brains so they
memorized it just long enough pass a test not long enough to understand it or
utilize the information and then they dump it out of their brain cuz they got
another test the next week so you create a system of just automaton robots that
are good at pump and dump backs in and out of their brain it's
just again the woman well a lot of school teachers mean well a lot of
policymakers meant well but they weren't using their brain and understanding
every action is opposite and equal reaction you tired yet nope she's
worried about bugs nothing scares people more than teeny bugs and that funny how
people are it's like not afraid of all this spiders can be poisonous but people
yeah people will text while they drive and that's a 6,000 pound SUV and they're
not afraid of that but they're super afraid of the one and a million people
that die from a spider bite in the US another thing common sense that's called
the bias of basically there's a problem in our brain it's called the
availability bias things that are easily understandable like spiders being a harm
to your health because that was an ancient one for thousands of years
that's been passed on in your genes to have natural fear of certain things
snakes and spiders even babies have but cars there's no evolutionary memory for
it because they're brand new so people don't fear those even though that's what
most people die from this is a cool little pasture in here you could build a
house back in here whenever I'm looking to land I'm always thinking how can I
improve not only the quality of the soil and the land for by all biological
purposes but also from a business standpoint how can you make the land
more valuable to people which increases its financial value nothing wrong about
fit with thinking and more than four more than one
perspective you know yeah this is a cool little hillside up here for those of you
listening on my podcast or now I'm on Spotify you're gonna hear a lot of not
gonna see what I'm talking about but it's alright you can always watch this
on YouTube or Facebook mark are you talking to yourself up
there Mark had gone lie had gone insane on this a ton of great great trees in
here those are this area that's called locust right there it's a great tree one
of the sad things one of the greatest trees in history is extinct it was
something called wormy chestnut and a lot of the houses here when America came
I mean when settlers came to America it's basically a wood that never rots
with no chemicals Joel Salatin's house was built in seventeen hundreds around
the time of America became that country and he never had the wood still as
strong as ever but warming chestnut got kilt and killed by a blight so it's all
gone locust is a kind of a second-rate version of it it's pretty good locust is
also a cool tree because in the soil it actually builds the soil it has these
little nodules it's called a legume just like soybeans just like alpha alfalfa
clover so sometimes mother nature knows how to repair itself by having these
they call them high secession value trees higher quality although it's a lot
of oak in here too let's go down in here who wants to go in the woods hopefully
it ain't honey season yet all we need an orange jacket so you don't get shot
Martin you're gonna be no match for a dude sitting in the stand with the 3030
I got it rigged first time ever went hunting I went with a 30-odd six that's
like a cat cannon for one World War two cannon you don't really want to hunt
with one it's too powerful if you want to fight at a shoot elephants you know I
saw a news article that an elephant killed somebody in 19 like 17 and they
hung it like a person as its punished punishment God people have been weird in
history you know they needed a chain and a crane see what did I just say what did
I say these these trees are dying so a lot of people think it's bad to cut down
trees I'm like look at this tree right here you could see I think this is a let
me look what kind of tree it is it's in a poplar or oak but anyway look how it
it might have got struck by lightning yeah so things die people don't
understand that people teach their school take you take kids nowadays and
they protect them so much from everything people don't grow up and know
how the real world works sometimes stuff gets hit by lightning so it's good to be
on a farm as a child you see that things die people in the modern world you ask
them where you know yogurt comes from never like uh comes from bonds it comes
from the store people are disconnected that's why even if you live in the city
never spend 100% of your time in the city I don't care I was just in New York
City right before this you got to have time away and you have to be in the
modern world you have to be careful there not be overstimulated there's
social media there's TV there's Netflix there's movies there's parties is like
you know everything's like only a step away it's at your fingertips so people
never can just sit down read think you have to spend at least a couple hours a
day really thinking through what you're doing in life reading learning listening
pen-and-paper planning like a general the general of your life a wise general
has a plan and knows how to take action because sometimes we were like all tall
you say people should read well if you just really all you're gonna do is get
book smart but I'm like what are you talking about there people are so stupid
on this conversation I'm like really you really think what I'm suggesting is
just read do I look like I never do anything why can't you do both they say
you can have your cake and eat it too you can live on a farm you could be
quiet you can read you can plan you can be introverted and you can learn to be
extroverted which is action-oriented outward world oriented you could be in
big cities you guys just in New York City two nights ago massive farm I mean
this thing is big yeah we're gonna walk this way make our loop back Jill South
in always tells me reason everybody fat in America nobody walks I did this
interview years ago with the guy who wrote a book called oh look something
got eaten right there oh no no that's no that's a plan that's this'll I
interviewed a guy named Lieberman he's a Harvard professor of paleo anthropology
and he studies the book is called the story of the human body it's a great one
if you want to pick it up and it's about health what looking back at how our body
evolved what are the things we need to do to be healthy and one of them he said
his walk six miles a day that was his recommendation which the average person
you ever seen that movie you ever seen that movie Marc called off the gods must
be crazy yeah in that movie they're like they get in their car back down the lane
their driveway get the mail out of the mailbox and then drive back home so they
don't have to walk that's helped but you can't believe how many people won't walk
anywhere that's why one reason Europeans are not so fat hey you got a Walkman one
of the things that this Lieberman said the way our bodies are design the way
our hips are opened up that's what made us bipedal compared to you know gorillas
and things like that them that merchants pansies that walk on all fours and
aren't the way our lay so we're designed to walk even more than run joggers
people who jog too much their whole body falls apart you're built to do what
physical personal trainer is called hit by intensity interval training where
basically you walk sprint rest walk very few times in history did people have to
just jog for 30 miles and if they did they're on uneven surfaces which caused
less joint damage than just running on the concrete remember every action has
opposite and equal reaction so if you go I'm gonna get healthy by just running on
the sidewalk outside of my house five miles well your body has an equal
reaction to it mother nature laughs last you got to be
curious study what is your body built to do it's kind of like in business to be
successful I was with my business partner Sam ovens and he said one of the
big he became a self-made millionaire by I think 26 years old and started the
company I'm 22 first one failed built another one and he said one of the big
mistakes he forgot was he would start businesses around what he wanted to sell
you forgot to build a business around an existing desire that people already
wants always I always say it's better to sell to the willing so people don't
understand game theory don't understand anything I've talked about in the stock
they just think from a narcissistic egocentric place they build businesses
that they're their only customer you can guess how much money you make if you're
your only customer you can even charge a million dollars for the product but if
you were paying yourself million dollars you still only have the same amount of
money as you start it on day one who's the steep hill okay Nathan
interval training who sprinted to the top Kate
Cait slept 12 hours okay let's let's see put the back Nathan you versus Kate
Nathan's a military man to the top and back yeah you could touch the fence and
then come back now remember it will be very funny on cameras if you guys trip
on the way back and roll all the way okay so here's the race it's gonna be
Kate against Nathan run to the top up there to the fence run back full speed
hopefully you fall cuz it'll be amazingly funny no to see you guys
rolling all the way down all right let's see on your marks get set go
Hey do not let Nathan beat you he's pushy kate is pushing for those of you
listening now watching this is a race to the top okay you got to come all the way
down it's easy down the other stopped at the top episode this is my favorite part
your hold this faster faster
David you're losing Nathan you're losing just playin hey hey don't stop you have
