Hey guys, welcome to My First Million. This is producer Ben, here with another Best Of episode. On this one, we compiled some of the best guest moments of the past year. On this first clip, we have the one, the only, the world famous Rob Dyrdek. Rob is a famous skateboarder, celebrity, TV show actor, host and producer, and now he's a really great entrepreneur with a number of different businesses.
In this clip, he's explaining exactly how he manages his time and how he has managed to become, as he says, human optimization. All right, everyone, we have a quick ad for HubSpot. Sales super teams aren't built overnight. They require unicorn-level talent, endless training, huge budgets and lots of luck.
Or you could just use Sales Hub from HubSpot. It's an all-in-one platform built with all the tools for your success.
Smarter prospecting, check. Faster revenue, yup. Scales with your team, sure does. But in Sam's speak, I'm gonna put it way simpler. Just go to hubspot.com/sales and it will make selling easier, faster and more efficient. hubspot.com/sales.

**Rob Dyrdek** (1:10)
I've mastered time, energy and capacity, right?
So I live this extraordinarily balanced life by design where I only dedicate 30% of my time to podcasts and my shooting television and building my businesses. I spend 30% sleeping, 10% on my health, never compromised and then 30% with my family, you know.

**Ben** (1:31)
How much is 30% for you? Like how many hours, are you looking at 30% of a 40-hour work week or 30% of your waking?

**Shaan Patel** (1:37)
He's saying of a day.

**Rob Dyrdek** (1:38)
Of my entire life, all hours, right?

**Shaan Patel** (1:40)
So eight hours basically, right?

**Rob Dyrdek** (1:42)
No, all life. Of the 24 hours in a day, I sleep 30%, so seven hours, right? Like I work seven hours, I'm with my family seven hours and I spend three hours on my health, on average, right? When you look at the overall balance.
And then I could show you this because I track it every day and it pumps all of it into this beautiful dashboard because what I've done over time, because to give you an idea, I shot 250 episodes of television this year. It's exactly 4% of my total time.
That's how highly optimized it's become, right? Because you basically have a certain level of human capacity and in order to scale it, you either hire or automate it. So I live this deeply automated life that hires people in to add capacity. And at the end of the day, I just live super balanced and happy.

**Shaan Patel** (2:34)
So give us an example.

**Ben** (2:36)
What software are you using to track all that time?

**Rob Dyrdek** (2:39)
That dashboard. I created, I had a programmer write me a script that goes inside Google, the Google Calendar.

**Shaan Patel** (2:46)
It's an app on your phone or it's just on like a spreadsheet basically?

**Rob Dyrdek** (2:49)
It's inside Google Calendar and then it pops, it populates a Google spreadsheet, right? And then the beauty of it is, qualitative data and quantitative data is what I live my life off of, right? So every day for the last five years, I wrote down how I feel about my life, work and health, zero to 10
And so I could show you by the qualitative numbers, how I'm living a higher quality and happier life. And the result of that is based off the optimization that I've done on my quantitative stuff. My quantitative stuff is, did I get up before five? Did I brain train? Did I get in the gym? Did I meditate? Did I have a clean diet? Did I not drink?
I could show you by my quantitative numbers that I have done all of those almost every single day of this entire year, about 87% of those quantitative things that have just driven those qualitative numbers, how I feel about my life, my work and my health higher and higher. So by the numbers, I could tell you what a high quality life that I'm living compared to just five years ago, you know.

**Shaan Patel** (3:58)
You're saying so many amazing things, I gotta dive into each one. All right, so you just said something, did I brain train? What's that mean?

**Rob Dyrdek** (4:07)
I use the Luminosity app, right? Like where it's just adding flexibility and just letting your mind do all of these things that are different than just getting in and reading your emails and you know, just going through your rhythm is really what I do that for.

**Shaan Patel** (4:20)
And when you wake up at five, what's the morning routine like? Sounds like you're pretty-
