I Just Wanna Talk w/ Vinny Van Patten

#9 - You Aren't Behind; Anything Worth Doing Takes Time

We want things to happen now. But anything worth doing takes time. I don't know where the hell I'm going, I just know it's going to take a long time to get there. I'm okay with that. I've never felt more sure that I'm right where I'm supposed to be.

#8 - We Gotta Do the Damn Thing Ourselves

I've been feeling like I don't fit into the world I thought I wanted to be in. Instead of trying to find where I fit in, I think I have to carve out my own place, and just do the damn thing myself.

#7 - I got denied by a girl in the wild, and it felt awesome

Guys, we gotta face rejection and go talk to girls in the wild. Let's stop hiding behind the screens. It doesn't matter how it goes. I've made a complete fool out of myself trying to talk to girls. But take it from me, that getting the nerves in your chest, the butterflies in your stomach, and acting on them is the best feeling in the world. It's time we step up and be men again. Why else are we alive?

#6 - You Gotta Have a Dream

A dream gives you a path. A path is more important than a destination. Keep walking towards that audacious dream, and your life will be full of meaning. It won't even matter if you eventually get there, because your days will have purpose as your heart asks, what if? In this episode I dive into my first couple of weeks living in New York City, where I've battled demons beneath the bright city lights. I'm here. This was once a dream. It's time to see what I'm made of.
