The Most Positive Man On Earth - Rob Lipsett - #259

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, my friends. Welcome back. I guess today is Rob Lipsett, Irish YouTuber and fitness model. While I was out in Dubai, I managed to get ahold of him and strap him to a chair. He is without a doubt the loudest, friendliest and most positive human I think I've ever met. It makes for a fascinating episode. We go everywhere. From his advice for anyone trying to start a YouTube channel to why he can't wait for our robot overlords and whether or not he thinks we're living in a simulation, what he's learned from a decade of bodybuilding, how he deals with haters and much more. It's so funny to sit down with someone who appears to turn on a outgoing personality for their YouTube videos. And you realize that they actually have to tone it down because they are far more hyperactive than they let on. Yeah, it's a really wonderful insight. Rob's a great dude. Good luck as well with your fuel cakes business. Buddy, if you want to get some sick protein pancakes, check out the end of the episode to find out all about them. But for now, it's time for the positive and wonderful Rob Lipsett.

Why didn't I get iced? God damn it.

**Chris Williamson** (1:27)
Nate, what can I say? If you get the special service in here, this is what goes on.

**Rob Lipsett** (1:30)
Yeah, second bycast, I'll get some ice.

**Chris Williamson** (1:32)
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. I'm joined by the one and only Rob Lipsett. How are you, brother?

**Rob Lipsett** (1:36)
What's going on? I'm great, I'm happy to be here. Beautiful views, rented by, sun's shining, life is good.

**Chris Williamson** (1:43)
Just dropped the Mercedes off?

**Rob Lipsett** (1:44)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nice two day rental. That flex.

**Chris Williamson** (1:50)
2020's been mad, man. How's this year been for you?

**Rob Lipsett** (1:52)
You know what, I'm very into perspective and gratitude and compared to what some people have been through this year for having got Corona, that's great. I haven't lost my job and I've still been able to remain a little bit in normality. So it's been great in terms of the context of things, for sure.

**Chris Williamson** (2:15)
What about stuff that you wish you'd been able to change looking back on 2020, any areas that you thought were weaknesses?

**Rob Lipsett** (2:22)
For sure. So a really annoying thing was I did this big series. I got fired up. I got to have an episode five about me competing again. I'm going back to the men's physique stage and I was like, nothing will stop me. I got this. And then Corona was like, and you're gone. So it was kind of funny that I got on day 30, I had a 90 day prep, a 90 day series and it was going really well. And I was literally like my favorite motto is I'll either find a way or make one. Like another is no excuses. Then I was like, apart from Corona, that's an excuse.
So look, some things are outside of my control, but that's it. But no, I'm happy with the way things went and I wouldn't really change much.

**Chris Williamson** (3:10)
Yeah. So one of the things I'm fascinated with about yourself is that you seem to be quite an effective serial monogamist. So you've been in and out of a bunch of relationships that people who are fans of your channel will have noticed.

**Rob Lipsett** (3:21)
Yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (3:21)
And you're able to balance those seemingly with traveling, with doing the YouTube thing. Every girlfriend becomes like a second videographer.

**Rob Lipsett** (3:29)
Oh my God. So true. I'm like, first date, it's like, right, so how are you on Final Capone?
I was like, color grading skills. Yeah. And do you know how to work music best? No copyright music. Do you know what I'm talking about?

**Chris Williamson** (3:47)
Yeah. So talk to me about that because people who just live normal lives struggle to keep a relationship together.

**Rob Lipsett** (3:53)
Yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (3:54)
What's your principles for having a good relationship?

**Rob Lipsett** (3:56)
Yeah. So I was in, when I first started YouTube, I was in a six-year relationship at the time. So I was like 18 We started going out. And then I started YouTube when I was 22 So we know each other for so many years. She was just like cool with it. She was really encouraging. And then, obviously we're part of Waze. We're all good now. And then I was single for a bit. And me and Mike talked about this. We're saying how it can be difficult to handle dating life, being single, dating a few different people, or maybe just seeing someone once.
