Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I was just so wanting to be out of that phase, out of my skin.

1:18and I just like really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to The Psychology of Your 20s on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

1:52This is Help From a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know. Listen to Help From a Hypocrite Wednesdays on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're fucking seeing this right now and you are not spending one hour a day minimally fucking with AI, I don't give a fuck if it's just chat GPT asking it questions. And then if you're a creative fucking around with all the new shit, mid journeys and this and runway and all that shit if you're not in it like you are literally your grandma that you made fun of got it like how old are you two i'm 41 43 perfect when you guys were fucking with aol instant messenger and aol and then myspace and you know cell phone and texting parents grandparents unks they weren't about that life and it was like ha ha ha you know like i'm in it they're not in it if you're 26 right now let alone early 40s and you're not spending an hour or two a day fucking with ai you are becoming your grandma you are your grandma so all these people are like no i don't fuck with that that's some bullshit it's you know here's my favorite thing when people talk about new shit and they shit on it on some noble shit that's the tell that they're too lazy to do the work I'm not doing AI because I think it fucks up musicians and I fuck with the arts and music and that's fucked up so I'm out you're not out because of fucking you're sad that fucking Kendrick Lamar might lose some paper you're out because you don't want to put in 40 hours to learn a new thing because you're tired because you just put in a lot of hours to learn the last thing.

3:43People aren't noble. People are lazy. But people are also scared, though, too. There's a lot of fear as far as it's going to take my job or some fears are legitimate, right? Like we've created something. I say we humans have created something more intelligent than ourselves. That's kind of never been done before in human history as far as like we don't know how far AI I can actually go. Let me tell you something right now. I don't know if you know this. You definitely do. This is a little joke. I'm setting it up. We also created a bomb that can kill every person on earth. If the three of us intellects were chopping it up in 1952 and the US just dropped a fucking bomb several years earlier and blew out Japan and we were just chopping it and saying, what the fuck are we going to do with this thing?

4:32If I sat here and said, in the next 70 years, no country, no man, no woman will drop that bomb. Everybody be like, get the fuck out of here. Think about what 1950 was. We just dropped the bomb. The last 30 years we've had two world wars. Right? So in the last 30 years of society we just got out of World War I. We just, just, just had World War II. The US just dropped this bomb. Now Russia's got it and everyone's trying to develop one. and I said in 70 years it will never drop, nobody would believe that. My point of that little story is no shit people fear. People fear everything. Humans fear. Most parents parent with fear.

5:18Every fucking, let me break it down. I don't love to get political as you guys know. Let me just make it real simple. Every politician weaponizes fear. Fear is how you control people. I'm not letting another invention fuck me up because guess what when the car was invented people were scared about that do you know what the word demonizing is demonizing comes from when electricity was invented word on the street check this electricity gets invented we have candles in our motherfucking offices and house electricity gets invented and people don't put electricity in their home because the word on the street is there's demons in it like if you bring in electricity you're bringing demons into your home it's like magic like just cut a light on so how are you using ai i use it every day to think to strategize for me personally i as as i think you guys know and some people may know i'm always thinking and then i act and so i'm trying i'm trying to think of a good one i already referenced that I'm fascinated by fashion trends because I think they tell you a lot of shit.

6:31So literally like two, three weeks ago, I'm on a plane, caught up with my work, just on some, this is literally the, and by the way, I audio everything because I'm better with words than writing. So I'm like, yo, chatty, I call it chatty. So we've been on this baggy trend again, 90s, it seems like for the last couple years it's coming. Like, can you give me the last 40 years on like clothes being loose then tight then loose then tight and what is your prediction on how long this cycle of baggie will last and the reason i asked it is to get ahead of the next tight wave correct so as an investor if i see if if so that was just a random thought that i did and the answers are crazy they give you like all sorts and you go back and forth back and forth back and forth and the answer is it gives me really sets me up to think so then in two years if I see a new designer because when I saw mad happy I was like that's gonna hit kith watching ronnie firm farm like that's gonna hit siegelman stables those hats I was like that's gonna hit like I'm starting to think that what I'm good at with the internet I should be doing investing in fashion and so if some young girl comes to me in two years and she's like i'm you know i'm going back to like skinny jeans i might be like oh shit it's she's right like it's somewhere next two three years let her cook keep it alive and she's like that so that's the shit i use it for yeah i mean you have the obviously you're creative just by nature right you've built that throughout your career and obviously ai helps enhance that for the creatives but we deal in a world where a lot of these agencies are old school.

8:18Yeah. And they're not up to date. They don't really understand how to use this. What are your thoughts on them? And I guess this new world of influencer and entrepreneur who are using it and trying to deal with agencies that just don't get it. There's a lot here. I'll break that down. I'm going to take a little from over here, bring it all together. A couple things first. Let there be no confusion. There is pain that is coming with this innovation. but that always happens hip-hop the music that spoke to me in jersey in 85 86 i stopped buying like i would have been if hip-hop doesn't come along i would have bought van halen and bon jovi tapes but instead i bought run dmc beastie boys the fat boys big shout out to them underrated that took paper from someone else.

9:13When search engines came out, we were, you know, I was a little older than you guys, but we were hyped. Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, and then Google, right? That was good for us. Nobody cried for the fucking 100 ,000 people that lost their jobs selling the yellow pages.

9:30This city, do you know how many motherfuckers' job it was to clean up horse poop before the car came out? this city the best city in the world that we're sitting in right now only a hundred years ago thousands were employed to clean up horse shit because horses were getting us around and they shit when the car was invented nobody cried or they did they wrote an article people talked about it but there will be pain in this if you're not a thinker if you're just a doer if you're not the architect and you're just a mason If you just take direction and you don't use this, this is going to be a fucked up era.
