400k Q&A - Andrew Tate, Liver King & Red Pill Debates - #504

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello friends, welcome back to this show. My guest today is me. I hit 400,000 subs on YouTube, which is amazing. And to celebrate, as is tradition, I asked for questions and got lots and lots. So here is another 90 minutes of me trying to answer as many as possible. As always, there's some amazingly insightful questions, as well as some pretty stupid ones, about my plans for the future, imposter syndrome worries, and advice for young content creators. Expect to learn whether I would have the Liver King on the podcast, why I moved to America, what I think about Andrew Tate's rise to fame, why I haven't gone vegan, whether I'm writing a book, my biggest takeaways from 500 Days Without Caffeine, whether we've passed peak woke, if I own a gun yet, whether I keep in touch with anyone from Love Island, and much more. I already said everything I needed to say gushing in episode 500 I love you all. Thank you so much for the support. The growth this year is absolutely wild. And if your question didn't get answered, then don't fear because I've left this publishing so late that we're now nearly at 450 So hang on for a little bit and you can just ask it again. But now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome me.
What's happening, people? welcome back to the show. It is a 400,000 subscriber Q&A episode, which is insane. You already know that I love you all. I gushed far too much on the 500th episode, so I'm gonna save that one for today. I asked on my Instagram and on Twitter and YouTube and locals for questions, and we got hundreds. So I've tried to condense them down. A lot of them were similar, so I've tried to bundle a bunch of them together. If your question didn't get answered, then I think 450 is probably only a couple of weeks away. So just hold on until then and ask it again. Let's get into it. Nah-El-Fur. Look, upfront, before I get started, I suck at saying these names. All of your usernames are terrible, almost all of them, and I'm gonna butcher them. Okay, just put up with it. Nah-El-Fur. Do you think you give off less lad vibes than when you started the podcast? Yes, absolutely. Coming into the podcast, I'd just finished Love Island. I was a club promoter for 10 years, 12 years, and I'd really sort of maximized that side of me, right? The professional party boy thing, the big name on campus person. And yeah, I think it's just time to grow up. Like you see this with guys, they get to the end of their twenties and they realize, okay, probably should start acting at least a little bit like an adult now. And swearing less is also something that I've tried to do. It just, I don't like the way that it sounds. It's good to use when you need to emphasize something or when you're having a bro-y chat, but less swearing, less laddy vibes, generally that's the direction I've gone in. Billy Brostowewski, I've watched your growth on YouTube and it's clear that you've made a conscious commitment, likely in place of other ideas and interests. What is your advice to someone who wants to commit to an idea in the same way, but has trouble zeroing in on what it should be? Avoid trying to be a perfectionist, right? Perfectionism is procrastination, masquerading is quality control. All that you need to do is find anything and commit to it. The best part of this strategy is the committing bit, not the choosing bit. Now you can commit to something and find down the line that it was the wrong thing to do, but that is better than just spinning your wheels and doing nothing. Now, if you're a little bit later in life, you should be exploiting more than you're exploring, but most people that watch this channel have probably still got quite a few years ahead of themselves. So just do a thing, do whatever is the closest approximation of what right now feels like something that could be good for you to commit to and just do that. Commit to publishing one sub-stack article a week for the next three months and see what happens. And you will learn so much just by doing that, or commit to finding a partner, or commit to getting a promotion at work. Jordan Peterson says, find one thing in life and commit to it as hard as possible and see what happens. Almost all of the gains come from the committing to the thing, not from the thing itself. Most of the insights that I've learned about the show have come from being narrow and deep on one thing, rather than anything particular about the show itself. Next one, David Fuller. How many subscribers do you have? Thank you, David. If you don't know David, he's from Rebel Wisdom. No relation, but he's a very good friend. Right now, 400,423,365.
