Hello friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Rob Dyrdek. He's a former professional skateboarder, entrepreneur, reality TV star, venture capitalist and a producer. What if you tracked every second of your life? What if you dialed in every process, calorie, action and thought to facilitate your best performance? What if you manifested a Playboy wife out of thin air by just wanting her a lot? Today, we get to find out. Expect to learn about Rob's journey from a small town kid to a globally successful entrepreneur, his rigorous system for intentionality and productivity, the crucial factors that propelled him toward success, the system behind Rob's meticulous tracking of his daily activities, how Rob met his dream wife, his bulletproof investment strategy, his thoughts on the personal development space and much more. I've met a lot of extreme people doing the show, athletes, performers, et cetera. Rob is extreme in a very different kind of way. He is extreme in a very meticulous, very thorough sort of way. And although you may not want to follow the process that he's going through at the moment, I think there are a lot of good insights that you can glean from what he's doing. In other news, this episode is brought to you by MyProtein. You are not eating enough protein in your life and you know it and you need to start eating more. And an easy way to do that is with some bars or some jerky or some other foods or perhaps a protein shake. And the best protein that I've ever found is MyProtein's Clearway. It's light and fruity, it looks and tastes like juice, but it's got more protein in than a normal protein shake and it doesn't give you digestive discomfort. So if you feel bloated or uncomfortable after having whatever protein powder you're using at the moment, this is an amazing one to try switching to. Their orange and mango and their strawberry are both awesome. Also, they do accessories, clothing, bags, shakers, whatever it is that you need. You can get all of it worldwide delivery from MyProtein. And you can get the maximum discount available site-wide. If you go to bit.ly slash protein wisdom, that unlocks my super secret product page.

I've heard you say that you've become the ideal version of yourself. What does that look like?

**Rob Dyrdek** (4:42)
I mean, look, the beauty of the ideal version of yourself is it continually evolves as you evolve and the world evolves around you, you know? And who I am today, I'm like overwhelmed with gratitude, super thankful that I even get to live this human experience, know that I live almost every day and have an amazing day almost every day, know that I have built my life into a place where I intuitively can begin to feel friction and then eliminate it, where I'm continually optimizing my today for a better tomorrow. And now understand that the person I've evolved and grown into is just the beginning of what's possible and excited about continually being a better version of myself on an ongoing basis till the day I die, which is currently one million hours of life in 114 years and 54 days. But that is the state. But as you can hear in my energy, growing into your ideal life as you envisioned it is a surreal experience because most people never actually get to it and then get beyond it. And I've moved beyond it and realizing that it's actually just this continuous process that you get to enjoy life while growing on an ongoing basis.
