Hello, friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Noah Kagan. He's an entrepreneur, founder of AppSumo and a YouTuber. Does money make you happy? What about a lot of money? Like billions and billions of dollars, a lot of money. Noah has spent years around some of the richest people in the world and deconstructed some of their biggest regrets, thinking patterns and hacks for success. Expect to learn the most common traits of super rich people, the advice Noah wished people would stop talking about, why having a day job can be riskier than starting your own business, how much money Noah spent on coaches, his best tips for how to overcome self-doubt, and much more. My ability to focus and get in the zone is critical for everything that I do, but it isn't always easy, which is why I've partnered with brain FM, a science-backed music app specifically made to help you focus. If you're listening to Drake or Dua Lipa while working, you might think that getting in the zone, in reality, most music is made to hijack your attention, making it harder to think and work at the same time. brain FM uses gentle rhythmic pulses that are scientifically proven to support sustained attention, all while blending into the background, so you can actually focus distraction-free. They also have sleep sounds to help with deep sleep, which has been a game changer, especially if you are traveling and you are somewhere that is loud. brain FM has made a real difference in my productivity and sleep quality, and you can try it out for yourself and get a full month for free right now by going to brain.fm slash modern wisdom. That's brain.fm slash modern wisdom to get 30 days of completely free access. This episode is brought to you by Manscaped.

Protect your browsing online and get access to the entire world's Netflix library for less than the price of a cup of coffee per month. If you are using the internet without a VPN, you are basically dancing in a muddy field without any shoes on. It is not good for you. If you use a public Wi-Fi network like a library or a cafeteria, the internet admin can see all of the data going back and forth between your computer and the internet. Plus, your internet service provider is tracking everything that you look at and then selling your information to companies who will target you with ads on what you browse. Also, it means that you can't access the entire world's Netflix library and you can't use services like HBO Max or Amazon Prime when you're abroad. All of this is fixed by Surfshark VPN. It is available across unlimited devices, so it protects and gives you access on your laptop, your iPad, your phone and even your smart TV. Plus, there is a 30-day money back guarantee and an 83% discount with three months free. All of that is available if you go to surfshark.deals slash modern wisdom.

Good to see you. I was so impressed to see you that you emailed me in 2019

**Chris Williamson** (4:06)
Yeah, tell me about that. You were reading the archive emails back.

**Noah Kagan** (4:10)
It's just interesting to see who makes it, right? And I think I emailed you as Million Dollar Weekend was coming out, was talking to the team. I was like, oh, there's a few shows I'd love to be on. And you were one of them. I think Stephanie reached out and we reached out and then it was like, yeah, it's gonna happen. I was like, oh, that's interesting. And I saw one of your clips about success bias as the world works. I was like, I just want to tell him I love his stuff. And I think that's such a thing that anyone can copy. Like reach out to someone and just tell them that you've made an impact or that you like what they're doing. And so let me just search my gmail. So I searched Chris Williamson in my gmail and it was in 2019, January. You said, hey, mate, that's how you British like to address us. And you said, hey, I'd love for you to come on the show.
