When the measurement becomes the target, it ceases to be a good measure... GPA, money, GDP, follower count, view count, productive measurement, political votes, etc... my god.... this idea can be applied to so many areas and argue that the measurement has ceased to serve its purpose. I personally noticed lots of quantified measurements serve their intended purposed, then would slowly become the target, is this one of the reasons why the universe tends toward entropy?

Great podcast. Do you guys know what watch does Matt wear? Thanks

41:21 See ya guys. Getting dull. Bye.

The guest is handsome, well both are 😁

Recently got into this stuff and discovered both of your channels. Never knew this gem of a video existed!!!

I’m only 8 min in, but this is great advice so far. After getting rejected for writing jobs, I became a top, viral writer on Medium. After getting edged out for Bumble’s “dream job” of Global Connector Bee, I doubled down on my own content. Now, my channel and podcast are growing exponentially, while the Bumble position was discontinued due to COVID.
Everything happens for a reason. When one door closes, another opens. “Be so good they can’t ignore you,” as Steve Martin famously said. Hard work always works. Put your head down for a few years, then people will come to you with opportunities.

Jesus Christ that’s Thomas Frank

2 fav youtubers 🥰

when u thought u were gonna marry her but only cry for a few days :((((

kidding aside, i love this collab of 2 brilliant minds!!!!!

Is that Thomas Frank on Matt's channel? Hold my coffee while I go ahead and SMASH that like button.

Kinda weird. You do not name your guest in your title and no contact info in the description.

I really enjoyed this episode and it has helped me a lot to keep making content on my YouTube channel. Thank you!

I thought they were gonna swap their bicep routine

i think you may be overusing the word "meta"

Hey, stop reading the comments while listening to the video, this is not productive...

I swear to god ive been making excuses for not starting my food blog for 2 years. I keep saying that my appartment doesnt have enough light and idk how to fix it. i start TODAY.

I love tide omg

my iconic bearded duo

I looked at The Rock's photo on the wall the whole video

How many methods are named after dead philosophers?

Is Minimalism the opposite of the Diogenes Syndrome. Iit's ineresting to think about it cause we tend to call thinf not by their names. You could make a podcast about this.

I'm watching a 1hr video on productivity

I loved how he used the analogy "it's like breaking up with a girl that you're not going to marry, it may be hard for a couple days..." This ladies is why you should never wonder if your ex is thinking about you....he's not...

Thomas Frank at 50:47: "It's like breaking up with a girl you know you can't marry. It's painful, for probably a few days at least, but it's worth it if it puts you on the path of living the life you wanted to live." How many women did he date where he was so arrogant, he was like, "Nope don't want to marry you, my life's better without you, it'll just take a few days at least to get over you. Bye, next"? :D I'm sure there are better ways he could have worded that. :D

Omg I loved collegeinfogeek! This is so cool!

P R O D U C T I V I T Y B R O. WOOOOOOOOW!

I love this! what a beautiful message about productivity and success. I love that you guys don't support burn out culture. so neat. thank u

14:02 i didnt think paying rent with blog was possible , so maybe more is possible (which i wrongly assume to be impossible)
17:00 meta skill of Presenting Glamarous image to mass media led to growh of trump & frank , which the uninitiated cant see
25:50 caught himself making excuses , discovered 500k sub channels with 200$ cameras
36:00 4 bulb theory
41:30 past failures in sports & limited options , narrows our physical activity choices later on in life
49:58 flinch , lifetime to running away from choices
1:03:00 procrastination equation

Besties: Matt D’Avella, Thom Frank, and Nathaniel Drew!!!!!!!!

I was about to take a cab to go home, but started listening to the podcast. I walked home. Listened to the entire podcast. Thanks you Matt ang Thomas for inspiring me, and the rest of the people here. I will definitely be better, everyday. I won't procrastinate anymore.

WISH GRANTED for this COLAB...fan of both

I'm not even a creative nor do i have any talent that i want to capitalise on but these podcasts are still so relevant to my hustle and I am so grateful

I think that's the first motivation / coaching podcast I've listened to without the focus being on posing with expensive sports cars and women. I like how they emphasize the meaning of health, discipline, happiness. This is success! I wish I had more positive people around me

2 gorgeous guys into the same things.

They're almost twins.

Kiss! 👏Kiss! 👏Kiss! 👏

Thomas is actually really smart. I never followed his stuff but any person who is thinking at that level of abstraction has my love and admiration.

Hi from Malaysia. Great session. I am listening while working. :)

I love Thomas Frank deff. Lots of good stuff on his channel too

C

lol Tom's like "SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE MINIMALISTS"

He looks like Liam from One Direction. 😃

the voice of these two is so satisfying

Thomas Frank

Thank you so much for this video. A lot out of it I just moved into a really tiny tiny studio so my way of utilizing the space is guy got a bunk bed with space underneath it for a desk and sofa what not answering me it helps me to stay out of bed until I have to leave it just to go to sleep because I usually just lay in bed and read her be on the phone which makes me lazy which make me procrastinate so just thought I'd tell you okay thanks again for you the video

Hey! Tom's videos helped me in college!!

I just finished washing my clothes and pieces of stuff while listening to you guys! let me join you.

These 2 muscular beings sitting in a room with periodic movement of their biceps ! 🔥

Best thing that happened to Matt and me this year! ❤️❤️

When you talked about our generation getting rid of the shed stuff. Def not anecdotal. I am really interested in that subject, dude.

So think about it: our parents were the generation raised by the generation that grew up during the depression. So our parents gen lived in a scarcity mindset. They hoarded things and they were pretty stressed out (Maslow's needs).

Now our generation lives in a time of abundance - we're the Amazon generation. We can have whatever we need very quickly. So now commodities are devalued and we are sifting through the crap and realizing what's most important in life.

It's a beautiful thing. And now we just have to learn to have compassion for that older generation.

I think the youtuber Teal Swan really gets into this topic too.

Anyone else miss these podcasts?

does anyone notice, the Dwayne Johnson picture?

53:37 The tree analogy resonated with me and was a great confirmation for my experience. Thanks for this talk really helpful.
