150 Interviews: The Only 6 Rules for Life | 154

The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner Episode 154 Two years ago I sent 200 cold emails and got zero replies. This week I turned down offers from two of the biggest podcast networks in the world.The distance between those two things is 150 conversations with founders, psychologists, behavioral researchers, and authors. I went in looking for tactics. I came out with six rules, and they are the only six I still follow.One of them I fought for a long time. Alex Hormozi says confidence is a stack of evidence that you are who you say you are. After 150 interviews I think the order runs the other way, and the day I acted like it, I drove to Toronto with a negative bank balance to record two episodes I could not afford.If you are waiting for something to arrive before you move, start with rule five.⏰ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — The only six that survived00:21 — Rule 1: Volume beats talent, always02:09 — Why consistency was the wrong goal06:53 — Rule 2: Embarrassment is the cost of entry08:20 — 200 emails, zero replies09:58 — Rule 3: Attention is the real currency11:28 — The people one level below guard everything13:14 — Rule 4: Gratitude has to be earned13:56 — Anyone can be grateful on a sunny day16:31 — Rule 5: Bet on yourself when the evidence says stop16:40 — Where Hormozi has the order backwards17:47 — Negative money and a drive to Toronto20:13 — Breaking the terror barrier22:36 — Rule 6: Have faith the dots connect25:23 — Ask what if now, or ask it later📺 Listen on your favorite platform:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-grateful-podcast-with-jack-wagoner/id1725776061Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5EsTEpQAjU4BxUrDoFyZ6b🧠 InnerVue — a complete self-awareness tool:→ https://yourinnervue.comUse code GRATEFUL20 for 20% off a Tier 1 InnerVue, plus a complimentary coach-led debrief of your report.🧠 More from Jack:► Website: https://jackwagoner.co► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jack_wagoner_/► 1:1 Coaching: [email protected]📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Jack_Wagoner⸻🎙️ About Jack:I moved to France alone at 16, started my first business at 17, and launched this podcast because I kept meeting people who had the answers to questions I didn't even know I was asking.  My philosophy: you can set massive goals while being deeply fulfilled right now.
