This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong,

your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best

selling author of the book, Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll

do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how

it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get

started, and be sure to visit my website at

sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and

resources from the show. See you on the inside.

Hello there, Modern Man. In today's episode, I have Jim

Edwards, multiple serial entrepreneur, one of my coach to

help me with my marketing and copywriting. And he had so many

accomplishments it's hard to even list. But the reason why

he's here today is because I've asked him to come and share how

an entrepreneur journey is, and if ever, how he maintain his

health to the best possible shape he is. I can tell you,

seeing him personally, he is in pretty good physical shape. And

I'm gonna dig and find out how he does that and leading a busy

business as well, and kind of see what the intersection

between sexual health and entrepreneurship is at this

point, coming from the famous Jim Edwards. Jim, welcome.

Well, thank you, Dr Anne. I'm excited to be here. A little

nervous about what you might ask me, because I know you'll ask me

anything. So I'm excited to be here, and thanks for having me.

Okay, so let's dive into this. Jim, how do you keep in such

great shape and have a successful business? What's your

secret?

A few things. One, I go to bed at the same time every night,

and I wake up at the same time every morning.

What time is that? What time you go to bed?

I go to bed at 8:30 and I get up at 10 minutes to 5. Okay, so

I'll read non-fiction. I get in the bed at 8:30 I'll read non

fiction for about 10 minutes, until my Kindle slaps me in the

face, and then it, you know, it's like, "Okay, time to go to

sleep." And then I wake up at 4:52 actually. I know that

sounds weird, but this 4:52 is what I have my thing set to. I

get up, I take my dogs out, I stand in the yard and while

they're doing their thing, I visualize my perfect self for

about 10 minutes. I literally stand there and visualize not

what I'm going to do today, not the stuff that I'm going to

accomplish, not my goals for pre five and 10 years down the line.

I visualize myself as my perfect self, the person who's capable

of handling anything, the person who calmly achieves, the person

who works out, the person who maintains control over what he

puts in his mouth. Then I go upstairs, I drink black coffee,

I sit on the pot, and then I go work out. I try and be in my

home gym by six o'clock, and I work out for anywhere from 60 to

90 minutes, then I sit in the sauna for 30 minutes. And when

I'm sitting in the sauna, I'm usually working on that's like

the beginning of my day. So I will think through stuff. I will

have conversations with myself about thinking things through. I

have special paper that I write on that I get from a place

called right in the rain. I found that when I used to sit in

hot tub, but then I got, I got a sauna, which I love more than

the hot tub. Then I have the thing that I've been thinking on

all night while I was asleep, usually that just like pours out

of me while I'm sitting in the and they've shown something

really cool about the sauna sitting there for a limited time

with that raised temperature, for whatever reason, just really

engages my brain. And I do some cool thinking. Then I go back to

the house, take a shower, take the dogs out again, and then I

come over the office, and I try and be in the office by quarter

to nine. I don't always make it by quarter to nine, you know, 9,

9:15, so somewhere in that 30 minute window, and then I feel

pretty ready to take on the day. And then you're talking about

health stuff, but the health and the entrepreneurship and the

making money and everything it's everybody thinks of it as

separate. So you hear of like work life balance. And no, it's

all life. There's no such thing as work, life balance. It's just

life. How are you living your life? And so I actually don't

see a difference between when I'm working out and thinking or

I'm running down the road and thinking as when I'm sitting in

front of my computer and thinking, you know, sometimes I

do my best thinking when I'm doing pull ups. And then I have

flip charts set up in my gym. I have flip charts and whiteboards

everywhere. And ideas come to me, I'll stop in the middle of

working out and outline the entire thing, and then keep

working out. And then, as far as, like, what do I eat? I've

struggled with the over the years with my weight. I'm in the

process of losing 25 pounds. I got six to go. When my dad died

last year, and then my mom got sick and a bunch of other stuff.

It just I started stress eating, and I just decided that I was

gonna, you know, life's not perfect, so when half stuff

happens, I just said, "Okay, this is the day I'm gonna do

it." I actually started using the Weight Watchers app and just

to create that mindfulness of what I was putting in my body.

Anyway, I mean just being mindful of what I eat, going to

bed on time, getting up on time, having that schedule, taking my

vitamins and good stuff like that.

Okay, so congratulations, by the way, for working on the weight

loss. It is not easy, being an entrepreneur, yeah, it's getting

harder getting older, but working and weight loss. Because

when you're focusing on your business, the stress level goes

up, cortisol hormone goes up, which then increases weight

gain, because it really created imbalance in your testosterone

hormone, especially for men. But one of the things that you do,

what I'm seeing, is that you spend like, three hours in the

morning for you. Well, yeah, taking care of yourself from

5am, you don't get to the office until 9, so it's really all

three hours investment in your health.

Yes.

Is that every day?

Monday through Friday, and then on Saturday, I usually sleep in

and snuggle up with the wife. And then I my wife, not any

wife, and then I try and get in the gym for like, an extended

cardio session, or just to make up for something I might have

missed during the week by eight o'clock. And then Sunday is like

completely nothing. No working out, no work. The only

technology would be my XBox. I have one complete full day of

rest every week, minimum. Preferably two.

Okay, I love that one complete full day. So I really want to

dive into what you just said earlier. So essentially, the

bottom line is that you spend three hours a day dedicating to

your health. Mental health, as well as physical health, and

which is not easy. But then you get up at 5am so you create,

like a jump start for the day. I love that. And so what you said

was that you spend visualization of your perfect self. Can you

kind of dive into that, what that means?

Sure, so in order to create anything, first, you have to be

something. In other words, you can't create value if you're not

already a person of value. And so a lot of people visualize

their goals, which I do that as well, you know, like cars and

money and vacations and shit like that that is very fleeting.

If you want to take it back a step, in order to create that

stuff, you have to be the person who's capable of creating big

things. So instead of visualizing big things

exclusively, I visualize myself as capable of anything, and then

that creates the momentum and the confidence and the magnetism

to attract those bigger things, and that also gives me an

opportunity to work on things that I might struggle with, like

charging high enough prices or increasing my prices, or

patience. Because I know it's hard to believe Dr. Anne, but I

can be impatient sometimes. You've never seen that side of

me, but just working on patience or understanding or empathy,

those kinds of things. A lot of times, I'll choose one thing,

and I mean, it would get kind of weird with it. Sometimes I, if

there's something I'm doing that I don't like, I will envision it

almost like a tumor or like a substance I have to get out of

my body, and I will visualize excising that, whatever it is.

And if there's something I want to install, there's something I

want more of, I will visualize it as like a glowing orb or

glowing substance that I literally either install in my

heart or install in my head. I know it's out there, but I mean,

it works for me. But if you think about you can't accomplish

anything if you are not the person who is able to accomplish

it. So why wouldn't you visualize being the person who's

capable of accomplishing anything before you envision the

other stuff? So, it's worked for me

But it's like you're focusing on yourself and kind of like your

future self or the self that you want to be, but not so much the

goals to get there. Is that right?

Right. Because I want to focus on who I need to be to

accomplish all of the things that I set out for myself,

whether it's my to do list for the day or my plan for where I

want to be in the next five years. That's the thing that

people don't do. They visualize their goal in trying to attract

their goal. But if you don't become the person who's capable

of manifesting the goal, you're never going to get the thing you

want. You're not.

I love that. Oh, we have to quote that line. That is one

line that we got to quote that line. So to practice that, and

it seems like you mastered that, how would you recommend somebody

dealing with anxiety?

So what is anxiety? Anxiety is fear about something that you're

afraid might happen. And so fear is based in either false

evidence appearing real. It's fear of something that might

happen, or fear that something's going to keep happening. But

either way, you've got to become someone or to recognize that you

already are someone who is capable of dealing with it if it

happens, or is capable of changing the circumstances if

it's happening right now. So again, dealing with anxiety,

typically, I have found if I'm feeling anxious, it's because

there is something that is undone. I have not done it yet,

or something I have not learned yet, or something that I am

afraid I won't be able to figure out. So I've also reprogram my

mind that wherever there is resistance, that's where I need

to lean in. That's actually a clue. That this is an area not

to run from, but to run to, so that you can solve that shit and

get it off your plate. Because most people run away from their

problems instead of turning around and punching their

problems in the face.

Because it's easier. It's easier to do that. So how do you get

the courage to do that though? It's easy to say, and the reason

why I'm kind of diving into that is that that's a subject that I

hear a lot from the men that I work with that are entrepreneurs

and executive, is that performance anxiety in the

bedroom, but also just anxiety and stress that they're dealing

with. That is flowing into their personal life as well.

So couple things. One, anxiety also is comes from when your

focus is not in the present that you can control, but it's either

in the past, where you're worried about something that

happened and whether it's going to catch up with your ass. Or

you're worried about something that's going on right now that

you haven't done anything to address. Or you're worried about

something in the future that might happen but might not

happen. It's also about getting very present about where you

are, what you're doing, and what you can control right now. And I

have found, as far as anxiety is concerned, is that if I know

that I have done everything I could do today, to the best of

my ability, 99 times out of 100, when my head hits the pillow,

I'm able to sleep just fine, because I know I did everything

I could do and should do today and tomorrow I will do the same.

So part of it is just being really present and being very,

very purposeful in your action, because that anxiety is coming

because you haven't taken an action you should take, or

you're worried you won't take action when you should, or

you're worried about actions you did take, and it's just worrying

about crap, handle it. And you say, you know, it's easy to say

and it's hard to do. No, it's not. Stop being a wuss. Too many

people are like looking to make excuses or have just you can

make excuses, or you can get results. You can take action, or

you can sit there and whine about it. And I think that's

important to understand, is that it's not easier to say than do.

It's actually easier to do than it is to say, even if you're

doing in a half assed way, because a half hearted action,

at least getting you know, I can say I worked out today if I did

a push up. But if I'm out in the gym and I'm dressed for the gym

and I do a push up, I might as well do another one and crap.

I'm already down here, so let me go until I can't do any more and

crap. I've you know, it's just get the momentum going. So I

don't think it's easier to say than to do. I think it's stop

being a wuss. We got a lot of wussies in this world.

I like that, we got a lot of wussies. So how do you manage

stress?

Part of how I manage stress is that three hours that we talked

about. get enough sleep. Don't do dumb stuff. Don't do shit

you're ashamed of. Half the reason why people can't get

enough sleep is because they're doing stuff that they know

either isn't way, or they're only making halfway action, or

they're doing weird stuff. If someone were to follow you

around with a camera for a week, would you want to publish that

documentary or burn the film? You know, are you doing

everything you can every single day? I can't answer that. Every

day that I do it, I fall down in my sin, but that's the ideal

that I strive towards. Plus, if you work out consistently, you

eat right, you treat people right. You know what the hell

you're trying to do in your life. You've got a purpose. You

stand for something, you got morals and all this stuff, and

hey, man, I'm a screw up too. The better I get, the more I

realize I have to learn. But when you do those things that

automatically handles a whole lot of anxiety. But okay, if

you're fat, you eat wrong, you're wasting time all day.

Cheating on your wife, or you're looking at porn all the time and

jacking off, or whatever you're doing, and you're wasting your

money, and you're not being a good steward. You have no

spiritual connection in your life whatsoever. Yeah, you

probably ought to be stressed out, because there's a whole lot

of singles signals coming at you that you're not living right.

Interesting, interesting. So how do you define confident man?

A confident man? A confident man, I believe, is a man that

knows that he can be a protector, that he takes care of

his family, that he is able to handle things physically. I know

that if somebody attacked me, I could give them a run for their

money. I mean, I might come up. No, I'm serious, if somebody

attacked me, I'd give them a run for their money, and they might

kick my ass, but I know that I would, they'd think about it

tomorrow. And I know that I could protect my family. I know

that I could drag one of my family members from a burning

building. I know that I can handle myself in business. I

know that I can stand up on stage in front of 5000 people,

or stand in front of a room of third graders reading Dr Seuss

and be just as impactful on them as I am on the 5000 people that

want to learn entrepreneur stuff. So a confident man is a

man that's living his purpose, who is the best he can be,

physically, mentally, spiritually and financially,

doesn't cheat on his wife and takes care of his kids and old

people. How's that?

Yes, I like that definition. And believe it or not, many men

struggle with that and with our society nowadays, it's always

been a little blur.

No, there's not. No, there's not. I'm gonna push back on

that. A tiny bunch of the population hijacked what a man

is. A man is a freaking man. And you know what a man is? Okay?

Because I can tell you what a man's not. A man is not a guy

that acts like a wuss. Okay, yes, you can be sensitive, but a

man acts like a man. That's when men feel the most fulfilled.

That's when men feel the most impactful, and that's when men

have the most positive effect on their families and on society.

Is when a man acts like a man, not toxic masculinity. But we

know the difference between being a wuss, being a man, and

being a toxic asshole. Be a man.

I like it how you define that. And so we're both entrepreneur,

we both have businesses. How do you prioritize your health. Why

is that important for you to do the three hours, five days a

week, spending time on your mental health as well as your

physical health? Why? Why is that and what prompted you to do

that? Because when we wake up in the morning, there are 10,000

things to do and so forth, and the first thing you want to

compromise is your workout, right? You got a lot of things

that you need to do.

100%

Yeah. So what prompted you, and then I know that you're very

regimented. You do it every day. What prompted you to create that

dedication routine?

Because in my 30s, I was fat as hell. I was 260 pounds. I was in

terrible shape. I couldn't walk to the mailbox without getting

out of breath. I couldn't make love to my wife. I got out of

breath doing that. And I had a doctor, I was diagnosed with a

heart condition, and told that I had heart failure. And I said I

was not willing to accept and I was making millions of dollars.

I was very successful, but I realized that I could be

successful and dead, and I also realized that if I'm broken

physically, I can't win mentally. Here's the thing, I

almost feel like I'm cheating when I work out and when I do

this stuff, because it makes me so much more mentally sharp. I

can do more in two hours than most people can do in a day. I

can do more in a day than most people can do in a week, and I

can do more in a week than most people can do in a month, and I

can do more in a month than most people can do in a year. I can

do more in five years than most people will do in their

lifetime. And so it's a very selfish thing that I do when I

take care of myself like that in the morning, because I am so

primed when I get in here to my office that from 9 to 12, I

crush what anybody can do in a whole day. I mean, I'm moving

from one to the next to the next, and confidently getting it

done. And the other thing I constantly tell myself, though,

while I'm doing it, is that don't worry about what's next.

Focus on what you're doing right now. Don't look at your watch.

Don't look at how long this is or isn't taking. Just focus on

this task and doing this. Tasks to the best of your ability, to

completeness. The other thing I do, it allows me to do is

shorten that gap between moving from one task to the next. A lot

of, Oh man, I'm glad that over shoo. I deserve a break.

Bullshit. You don't need a break. You take about a five

minute reset thing, and then you move on to the next thing,

chucklehead. I mean, most people only get about an hour done

before lunch and an hour done after lunch with three hours of

bullshit on both sides. It's true, so it's very selfish for

me to get the race car revved up and be able to run around that

track at 200 miles an hour, instead of in the you go going

25.

And you think the secret of you being so efficient and your

relativity is tied on to that three hour that you dedicate to

your health.

Yeah. Plus, I'll be 58 in November, I can do 20 pull ups

in a row without stopping. That's pretty good for a 58 year

old man. So it also gives me a lot of confidence and a lot of

just pride in myself, not bragging and stuff like that,

but just I feel good about who I am, and that lends itself to

better performance at work and in the bedrooms.

I'm glad to hear that, because that's kind of where we're

heading that. So are you satisfied with how you are in

the bedroom, and then I assume yes, because if you're

physically taking care of yourself, then your bedroom

performance will follow.

Sure. I mean, here's the thing, though, also. Now my wife is

eight years older than me, so she went through menopause, and

our relationship has changed over the last 30 some odd years,

we went from, you know, bunny rabbits to now, I get as much

satisfaction from cuddling and being close as I do the other

stuff. I just do. I mean, it's much more intimate in a lot of

respects than the other stuff. Plus there's not the cleanup. So

I'm not saying we don't, but I'm saying it has changed for me

over the years as well. And so I grabbed my wife all the time and

cuddle her and kiss her, and tell her I love her. And to me,

that level of intimacy is on a consistent, multiple times a day

basis, to really hold somebody, look them in the eye, tell them

you love them, mean it. And everything, to me, is just as if

not more important, because again, attaching the feelings to

that and that sort of intimate emotional interaction is

something that you can do for the rest of your life,

regardless of whether the plumbing breaks down, or whether

you're taking the blue pill, the yellow pill, or somebody's

pissed off or wants to stay up and watch reruns of Conan. I

mean, it doesn't, it's important, but it's physically

not as important, if that makes sense. And I'm not blowing it

off. I'm just saying that's kind of what I've seen. Everything

evolving. I don't have to prove my manhood with my wiener, if

that makes sense. You know, I don't get that sense of, you

know, I have to feel like a man, because I can go for 17 and a

half minutes while she's going, "Jesus, will he ever be done?"

That kind of thing, it's just, it's kind of stuff you want to

know or not.

No, that's you. That's uniquely you. But I do want to circle

back we said, when in your 30s, you in poor health. You weigh

260 pounds. You even had ED then as well, too, in your 30s. So

you make the decision to turn your health around. And what did

you observe with your erectile dysfunction. What was the

evolution that?

Well, I didn't have ED. What I had was, like, I got out of

breath. I'm going out and then like like I had to stop. Yeah,

there wasn't an ED problem. There was cardio.

It's a cardio problem. That's concerning. Yeah, 30s.

Yeah, I know. Yeah. I was fat and fat. So what did I do? Yeah,

I made a decision that I was gonna get my ass up early in the

morning and I was gonna walk. And so I said, Okay, I can get

up. I know I can walk. I can walk. So the first morning I

walked like 15 minutes, the next morning I walked 30 minutes,

then the next morning I walked 30 minutes, but I walked about

50% further than I had walked the day before. And so I started

walk. I just walked every seven days a week. I was walking in

the morning, and I started losing weight, and also started

being mindful of my food choices. Then I decided, okay,

my weight loss slowed down. And I said, Okay, this is what I'm

going to do. You want detail? Here's detail. I saw the Boston

Marathon bombing, and I saw a guy wearing a backpack, and on

this thing, it said, tough rock. So I looked it up, and I learned

about rocking, and I said, Okay, I can wear a backpack, and every

pound I lose, I'll put a pound of sand in the backpack. That

way I'll be carrying the same weight to keep my weight loss

the same. And so I got up to where I had added 35 pounds of

the backpack, and I was like, Shit, this is heavy. So I

stopped adding more weight to the thing. And then I got

involved with a company called Go Rock. I did started doing

these challenges and stuff with special forces people, and I

just kept increasing what I was doing to be in shape. I ran a

half marathon, and then a few years later, I actually did the

Boston Marathon with 35 pounds on my back. And so that was kind

of a full circle moment with what I had seen on TV. That was

the start of my fitness journey. So we did 26.2 miles in eight

hours and five minutes with a fat toddler on my back.

No, 35 pounds is a lot, but that was the weight that you lost,

right?

I lost more than 35 pounds. I got down to 190. So I lost 70

pounds in about a year.

You lost 70 pounds without medication.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Without taking medication. You did it the hard way, and

obviously it's sustained until now.

I've had three separate events where I got, you know, most

recently, I got up to 230 but a lot of it's muscle. I mean, it's

a different kind of 230 but it was still there's a lot of fat.

I mean, I was like, oh, yeah, I'm just bulking up. No, I was a

fat ass, again, to a degree, but I just made the commitment. In

the last couple of months, I've lost close to 20 pounds. I've

got six more to go.

How'd you lose the weight?

Moving more and eating less? It's not complicated. I mean,

it's moving more and eating less, yeah, and eating smarter.

I've learned you use the Weight Watchers, right?

Yeah, I use the Weight Watchers app. You just track it up.

So it's really going down to the basic. But the hard part is, you

know, as an entrepreneur, you don't have a lot of time for

that. And I guess you justify by saying.

That's not true though, you don't have a lot of time for

that. We all have the same 24 hours in the day. Elon Musk has

the same 24 hours in the day that you and I have. It's how

you choose to invest. And something I started doing a

while back, I'm gonna show you this real quick. There's

something else I do to be mindful. See, most people are

not mindful enough of their time and what they're doing. You see

those? Okay.

What is is?

Those are eight. She's like, "What is it Jim?" Okay, those

are eight silver dollars. Even though they're $1 they're each

worth about 40 bucks. And I have this stack of them on my desk,

and I have a simple piece of paper with a vertical line with

a vertical line on it, okay? And in the morning, all eight of

these start out on the right side, and I give myself credit

for the investment of an hour of my workout and stuff in the

morning. So then at the top of each hour, once I show up over

here and start working, you know, but I'm It's nine o'clock.

It's not 8:30 It's nine o'clock. I have my ass in here. Okay, so

at nine o'clock, I pick up one of these, and I ask myself a

really simple question, did I wisely invest the last hour in

my business? And if the answer is yes, it moves over to the

left hand side. If it doesn't, it goes back on the pile. And

every hour that I'm sitting here and I'm working at the top of

the hour, I ask myself a question, did I wisely invest

the last hour of my life? If yes, goes over on the left. It's

a real simple little five second thing, but it forces me to

evaluate whether I'm wisely investing my time or not. And

I'll be honest with you Dr Anne, I never make it through the

eight coins. I started doing that, I might sit my ass here

for 10 hours, and I have never once made it all the way through

all eight coins. Now what does that tell you? Are we investing

the time that we all have every day to the best. I don't want to

hear that bullshit of you don't have enough time. We all have

the same amount of time. It's how are you choosing to invest

it and use it. Sorry to correct you on your own podcast. But you

want to know how I think.

That's right. Well, that's your perspective, and I totally

respect that. That's your perspective. We hear that a lot,

right? I don't have time. I don't have time for this. It's

like, that's why it's so hard to lose weight, because you don't

have time for this and that. It's really about prioritizing.

I love your point idea.

But if your perspective is I don't have time, your

perspective is your reality. So if you constantly say, I don't

have time, or I can't, guess what, you don't have time, and

you can't.

So before we end, I want to ask you, so this is one of the most

challenging thing for men that we work with in the sexual

health, is the performance anxiety. And oftentimes

everything works fine, but then they start getting thinking

about the what if or what has happened in the past. And

oftentimes there's also the perspective that I gotta be rock

hard. I gotta be satisfying her and all that. It's almost like a

different perspective. And I see that more in actually older men,

like in their 60s, which is even more challenge for them to do,

because the older you get, it's harder to have a firm erection.

In your opinion, how can a man, kind of reframe that to be more

productive for him in a sense that he's not caught up in the

what if and the past.

That, to me, shows that you're focused on yourself. And if you

truly are interested in taking care of your partner, then you

should be focused on her and what's going to make her feel

good? And here's the other thing, and I mean, again,

there's this emphasis on your boner, but there's a whole lot

of things that I can do to make my wife scream and have sparks

shoot out of her butt that have nothing to do with my boner

ability, quality, duration or other. And when I focus on her,

I'm worried about her pleasure, not my pleasure. And if she's

happy, I end up very happy. And so seriously, anxiety comes from

not focusing on the present. It comes from focusing somewhere

else. And so I would just offer that of your sexual interaction

with your wife may, if you're worried about it, fold it in

half, jam it in there. It'll probably work. But I mean, other

than that, it's not just about the boner, it's about the whole

thing. And if you focus on her instead of yourself and your

worries about you, then that might get rid of fair share of

that performance anxiety. For some people, I am not a medical

professional and not qualified to give any type of medical

advice. I'm just telling you from my personal experience,

anytime I get all into me and my problems and my worries, nothing

ever really works out. But when I focus on as an entrepreneur or

as a husband or as a dad or as a grandfather, when I focus on

adding value to those around me, I never end up on the short end

of the stick.

I love that. I love that. How you phrase it, and I asked it

for everyone that I interviewed, everybody says almost similar,

but a little different take, and I love the way how you approach

it. So one last advice. What would you advise a man, how to

stay feral, how to stay sexy, how to stay connected to his

wife? What is your one advice you can give to the man

listening to this podcast?

If your wife is your best friend, which I believe she

should be. If she is the one that you love the most in the

world, which I believe she should be, then treat her that

way. And if you do that, you'll do fine.

And that is how we're gonna end, gentlemen. You have heard it

from Jim Edwards, treat your wife like the queen, that she

deserved. The love of your life that she deserved, because when

you do that, she's happy, you're happy, right? And thank you for

sharing that. So thank you for being here, Jim. I'm

appreciative you share your wisdom, and I've actually

learned something for you. I will copy your silver dollar

idea and see how poorly I do, because I'm definitely not gonna

get eight in a day, for sure. But it still will be something

that it gives me quantitative data on how I'm doing. So thank

you for sharing that I'm going to start doing that actually

tomorrow. And so having said that, thank you for being here.

And Modern Man, we'll see you in the next episode.
