[1] And I'm excited to say that we've partnered with Samsung TV to bring this to life, and the channel is available in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and Austria.
[2] Samsung TV Plus is a free streaming service available to all owners of Samsung Smart TVs and Galaxy mobiles and tablets.
[3] And along with the Dyeravisio channel, you'll find hundreds of more channels with entertainment for everyone all for free on Samsung TV plus.
[4] So if you own a Samsung TV, tune in now and watch the Dyer of a Cio channel.
[5] right now this is the message I get most often sent to me via my agent or an Instagram and it drives me fucking nuts I had one the other week oh my God I love what you do I'm I'm really funny person this is how it was phrased the other week how many gigs would I have to do before I could like open for you on tour can you have a look at some stuff I filmed on my phone and I'm I give them an answer that I never get a reply to this answer I say okay it's quite simple lucky for there is a really simple model to follow.
[6] You need to work unpaid for three years in the clubs three times a week.
[7] I wouldn't recommend a relationship and just warn your friends, you're not going to see them.
[8] I started to earn about two, three hundred pounds a week after five years.
[9] At that point, you're ready to give up your day job.
[10] On about the eighth or ninth year, you're going to be ready to do a support slot.
[11] People don't want to hear it.
[12] But if you went up to the guy in the gym who's 16 stone and 5 % body fat and can you tell me how I can get like that?
[13] say the machines are over there dickhead just get going yeah the machines are there you cannot skip the machine you cannot skip the tricep station if you want triceps you can't just go but it's gonna hurt it's too much work to get a try and then just don't get triceps but don't moan if you don't have triceps but head to the dip station and see you in four years i can yeah i now i've wrote about this my book came out last week and i wrote about it in my book i remember someone turning to me there's actually the CEO of my company now company have just left and he's said to me, Steve, you know, this personal brand stuff and this like speaking you do on stage?
[14] He was like, how do I, how do I do it?
[15] And your brain immediately scrambles around looking for like three tips, right?
[16] Three tips to describe like a deck.
[17] I remember my first talk in school at 14 years old, my hand's shaking.
[18] Absolutely.
[19] The truth is like someone's seen you with a sharp and they've said, how do I get a sword, sword that sharp?
[20] So well, start sharpening it now and then 10 years time.
[21] But people don't want that.
[22] No one wants to hear the answer is boring, repetitive practice.
[23] For most, most people that are absolutely fucking excellent at something have done a lot of boring, repetitive practice that would be boring to the person asking the question, not to us.
[24] I loved every shit gig I did.
[25] And that's the difference.
[26] That's what kept you doing it for 10 years or two decades or whatever, is that you genuinely intrinsic loved it for its, and people want the rewards, right?
[27] But when they, if they started and genuinely wanted it, they too would discover that love.
[28] If you say, I want to be a dentist, I'd be a dentist, you start dental training and you're finding it boring in a slog.
[29] Newsflash, you don't actually want to be a dentist.
[30] You'll be rich.
[31] Yeah.
[32] So find something else.
[33] Find something where you love the journey.
[34] That is a secret.
[35] So that's what my dad never found.
[36] He didn't find a job he took pleasure in.
[37] It's got nothing to do with coin, although I'm into it.
[38] But if you love the outdoors, you're going to love landscaping, whether you're on 17 grand a year or 17 million a year.
[39] You're going to love it because that's what you were born to do.
[40] It's such a counter narrative to the narrative that sells, which is like short investment, big returns.
[41] Like seven days, six -pack abs.
[42] That's the everyone one fucking signs up for that.
[43] Imagine, imagine the like 10 years, maybe.
[44] Maybe.
[45] That's true.
[46] And the problem is a lot of the TV we make, I make, sells that X -Factor spot, do one song, live the Pimp lifestyle.
[47] And of course, that is what, in all of the X -Factor that's ever been on and all of Popstar, the rivals, how many of those people are now platinum selling artists living in mansions?
[48] what Harry style try and name some one direction that's it that's out of every single little mixed duma that's out of every single one in a show that's designed to push people to the front in an artificial way so if you think that's going to happen if you're russell from essex you're deluded it's but any business if you're passionate mixed with a little bit of luck people this is the other thing people like us don't like putting out there but i'm afraid there is a bit of luck involved and it sort of calls into like we were sat here again have worked so hard oh look at me with my work hard badge but at some point we had some luck as well just we're in the right place right time mixed with the hard work so some people are more lucky than others luck is a thing and what lucky is not luck as in lottery number luck but luck is in oh my god you've met you've met the you've met the perfect partner you've got the business oh you were looking for a french a french bulldog breed and you found exactly the right one at the right time when you were looking for a puppy.
[49] Why is he so lucky?
[50] Why is my life so shit?
[51] So they tested this.
[52] They got a bunch of people together.
[53] Half people who say, my life, shit, I'm so unlucky.
[54] And half people like me are like, I've got to admit, I'm a bit, I'm blah, hashtag blessed.
[55] I do have a lot of luck.
[56] And they run tests on them.
[57] And the test they run was very simple.
[58] The psychologist, I can't mean, it's the British Jewish guy really funny, brings loads of books out, Richard something or other.
[59] He's written a book about it, about luck, look it up.
[60] They gave them a newspaper each and they went in there, go into your self.
[61] separate rooms and on a page is a picture you're looking for.
[62] Whoever finds that picture comes in first, gets £100 cash.
[63] That was the game.
[64] So everyone went in like that.
[65] On page two, the massive headlines was, it's a trick, stop turning.
[66] If you've read this headline, go and collect the money.
[67] That was on page two.
[68] All the unlucky people missed that.
[69] All the lucky people found it.
[70] You know why?
[71] Because lucky people are eyes are open, the hustlers.
[72] So it turns that you can make luck.
[73] You can practice that.
[74] You can hone it.
[75] That's something you can hone.
[76] Next time you walk into a meeting, just think, right, what's, what's that guy do for a living?
[77] Who's that?
[78] Is that a contact?
[79] That's not luck if I sit down next to someone and he happens to be doing a comedy streaming service, start up, and he signs me up.
[80] That's me being a bit bold and striking up a conversation and looking at what he's wearing and having to think.
[81] You can learn these skills.
[82] People don't like that because that shot puts the mirror on me and creates personal responsibility where I, you know what I mean?
[83] And I feel like in our society at the moment, this is just an observation.
[84] I've had, personal responsibility is people fucking hate that.
[85] The fortunate position I'm in, which is what I talked about in my last podcast, was because I came from like a very broke family where my mum can't read or right, and I was born in Africa and we didn't have anything, no Christmas birthdays or holidays, my journey in life, people don't discredit it.
[86] They don't point at me and say, oh, you know, silver spoon, you can't fucking talk.
[87] So I feel like I can have the conversation a little bit more about personal responsibility.
[88] Of course I'm fucking incredibly lucky.
[89] Like, I didn't choose to be me. You know what I mean?
[90] I didn't choose my parents or the good and bad things that shaped me. But I want to have a conversation about personal response as it relates to career success and let's start with hard work.
[91] Because in our society right now there's two counter narratives.
[92] One is that don't work like incredibly hard you're going to burn out and you're going to have mental health problems.
[93] And the other is I've never met someone that sat here in front of me that doesn't work really fucking hard.
[94] And I did.
[95] I don't know how I would have sat here without hard work and tremendous sacrifice.
[96] well first of all we sort of already made the point a lot of people are working hard at things they hate yeah so working hard at things you dislike hate or find stressful will bring success and money but at a cost working hard at things you love i'm i i finished filming at midnight last night in mason i got in at half one i had my dinner at two and i fell at sleep at three and i bounced out of bed this morning to come here to do a podcast for the price of a car why because I love what I do now if I was had got in at three from working as a hospital porter and had to get up to do another job which was quite well paid this morning but I hated it I wouldn't be buzzing and that's what releases the cortisol and the stress hormone into your body so you can't compare you're not comparing like and like even though both people are working hard you've even got people that might be barristers or doctors really well -paid professions but find it stressful when they're burnt out and stuff, it's unlikely you and I will burn out because I'm like, what's next?
[97] You're intrinsically motivated by, you've got a sense of control.
[98] Exactly.
