16 Lessons From 2024 - Chris Bumstead, Elon Musk & Alex Hormozi

شكرا 🙏🏻

The ozempic comments arent valid. Either way its purely ego. Remove the ego my friend. The problem with ozempic is the cost for taxpayers..

Chris! Spitting fire brother! Felt every one of these!

“The complexity of the truth is inconvenient for both sides”

Why are you becoming so partisan?? Seriously, if you’re going to bring statistics into the conversation and blame one party for it, talk about the other side too. Aren’t you the one who said that both men and women need to hear the other side? Same things with politics. Don’t fall into the partisanship trap!!!!! You were doing great!

ON BELIEF: Sharing from my experience personal and professional: one must believe they deserve it.... In regards to good things: career, health, relationship, positive education, etc.

Many are haunted by toxic shame growing up (ref: John Bradshaw), so no matter how much belief or intention, focus or hardwork, so much doesn't launch in people's lives because the core wound is unconscious (in that toxic shame pattern).

These are my favourite episodes 🔥

Thanks for everything Chris. 2024 blessed my family with twin sons. Your work continues to guide me on how to navigate the minefield of raising young men. All the best in 2025.

And no mention of jobs, because the right won’t offer those either.

“Act with curiosity.”

As a therapist, I started The Men's Therapy Studio to address the overlooked mental health needs of men. It's an unfortunate reality but I think the tide is turning.

Thanks for the great work this year, Chris, keep it up you're doing great!

I literally never comment, but after hearing the “Men Are Seen as the Problem” chapter, I just wanted to say that I am so grateful for what you do and what you’re advocating for Chris. Thank you.

End of the yurrr

I love this! So happy I found this channel this year. 🙌🏼

Love how you are making it more acceptable and common for people to think and reflect more deeply. ...and with better rationality and information. Keep it up!

It felt like this episode was tailored toward me. Thank You Chris 🙏🏽

Never stop with the quotes!! I recently met a guy at a psychedelic trance festival (lol), who whipped out his phone to read a quote he had saved from your podcast. Immediately we had something in common and we could have a very enjoyable conversation. It also helps me to put concepts I ponder about into much fewer words and be able to share them.

I am incredibly grateful for what you do for men. I work in a space where I get to empower and help women in a fun way. I love my job and what it can do for women, but I've also felt sadness and a kind of uselessness around helping/motivating/uplifting men too. I don't know if we as women fully know and understand this dilemma and if we did, what do we do or what is our role? Allowing for vulnerability regardless of "man points"is probably the answer, right? I know I can't help much, but I'm happy there are people who try and can. Thank you.

TLDR??

Bros forearms🌝

Really enjoyed this recap and distillation from so many of your conversations this year. Thanks. Chris.

Best

The first one is very inspiring, but it actually didn't work very well for me so far. I used to be anxious overperformer and earned good money because I was achieving better results than other people. The moment I started seeking for a good experience and enjoyment, my results dropped. Nobody pay us for us to have a good experience, people pay us only for outcomes. Outcomes is all that matters. Sorry to deliver that to you, but I am still hapy to be proven wrong :).

Chris, the catastrophic thinking has been my life this year- I like to sing the song by ice spice with slightly different lyrics - "this boy a liar" to "my brains a liar" 😅

Thank you. :) Your transformation is inspirational. ☮️❤️🌞

I love these annual lessons episodes, Chris.
So many deep concepts and ideas to think over. Truly, Modern Wisdom. 👍

Great episode. Appreciate all you do Chris

Hey Chris, thank you for all you do hey sir. You’re have such a great mind with the right curiosity level to wring out such good material for us all. Thank you brother. Keep up the great work.

Discovered you last Xmas. Would love to see Behavioural Economist Dan Ariely on the show.

Did not expect to hear a Sargon of Akkad quote from Chris! Nice surprise

As a woman who enjoys Modern Wisdom because of the message of agency, I was surprised by the undertones of victimhood (which I reject as a narrative for either sex) that Chris started with. I do believe we are the creators of our destiny - so I do hope people (be they men or women) don't succumb to the comforting notion - of "I was just born that way". Men's high rate of suicide that was compared women's rate of breast cancer may stem from the poor coping abilities of both sexes to take care of the essential self and not having the tools to deal with our perception of life's stresses. Being alive is guaranteed to come with suffering regardless who you are, knowing how you perceive and deal with this is what will determine how well that precious life is lived.

My favorite video yet from this channel. I never heard anyone say that realistic goals have much more competition but I've lived this. I took a break from tech to focus on volunteer work for 3 years. When I ran out of savings I tried to get simple jobs to raise funds again... Janitorial, bell hop, parking lot valet... and it was impossible to get those jobs. Then I put my resume out based on my tech skills (I thought were outdated) and BAM quickly got work for 3x the pay. Now I'm moving on from tech job to my own business putting out content and code and I expect it to be even more so the case.

Incredible work, Chris. Congratulations and thank you. 🙏❤️🥂

The issue with Ozempic is that it doesn’t address the root problem—it doesn’t teach you anything. The weight epidemic is fundamentally an issue of choice and behavior. We’re treating the symptoms instead of curing the actual disease. Fit people genuinely want everyone to be healthy, but true health begins with a mindset shift, not a prescription change. Simply giving people external solutions, like medication, without addressing their underlying habits or beliefs often leaves them in an even worse position. That’s the core issue.

Brilliant shares, Chris! 🎉 Thank you 😊

This is a great conversation. Thank you.

I find it interesting that with the suicide topic, yes, more men follow through with doing it - because that’s how the male brain works, right? (problem - solution) as opposed to, there are just as many women who are having suicidal ideations globally - yet the female brain is, problem - analyse - think of everyone else involved and what they need first - solution to please others. Therefore women aren’t going ahead with it at the same rate.
Yet they ARE manifesting breast cancer at the same rate - which as we know, is all to do with suppressed stress turning to inflammation.
In conclusion - everyone’s not doing very well and it could be a lot less this stat VS this stat and more, how can we all unite, connect and fall in love again - than point the blame for different stats of sadness and sickness.

Merry Xmas and happy new years to you to🎉

Good recap! Thanks

Free Palestine.

Thanks

Shit! This might have been the best one! Banger lesson after banger lesson. Happy holidays and thank you!

Thank you Chris ❤

Thank you for the episode, Chris!

Your life would be walking down a simple path learned as a child to the same hole of cat coon or fish. The neurological effects we feel are competitively drug driven. The body will overwhelm itself. It’s a simple life of ease with the body stable out of consistency with the ability to streamline your focus it’s in the hope that one day will carry into the next.

Some important reminders here. Thank you
