250k Q&A - Habits, Happiness & Red Pill - #417

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Bonjour, friends. Welcome back to the show, and a very happy new year to you all. I hit 250,000 subscribers on YouTube, which is pretty good. And to celebrate, I thought that I would do another Q&A episode. So I asked for questions on Instagram and YouTube and Twitter and in the modern Wisdom Locals community. And yet again, there were some absolute corkers in there. This little group of cult members that we've managed to congeal together has some very weird, some incredibly strange, but very interesting people in it. Today, I expect to learn which five guests from the podcast I'd start a business with, my opinion on blending a desire for improvement with happiness, what belief I hold that most people disagree with, why thoughts are selling Bitcoin, my thoughts on the Manosphere, how I limit phone use, why I'm ethically conflicted about growing a mustache, when me and Michael Malice will travel to Russia, and much more. Thank you to everyone who has supported the show over the last 250,000 subscribers. You have license to say that you listened to modern Wisdom before it was big and before it was cool.
