[4] So if you own a Samsung TV, tune in now and watch the Dyer of a Cio channel.
[5] right now.
[6] You talked a little bit about there, about being 80 years old and looking back on your life.
[7] I'm going to just play a little game with you.
[8] So we've got to imagine.
[9] Imagine that, what day of the week was, I think it's Tuesday today?
[10] So Friday, you find out that Friday's your last day on earth.
[11] My question is, and really put yourself there, right?
[12] So Friday's your last day on earth.
[13] All the fights coming up, AJ Furious all falls away.
[14] What do you immediately regret?
[15] that's actually something that I've thought about quite a lot and the reason was is about four months ago my granddad passed away it was 93 great life you know and when I went to see him in his last couple of days you know and he obviously didn't look great and I looked at him I thought wow life's crazy in it I said everything that you've done in your life and now you're laying here about to leave so when you get experiences like that just you have to be reminded sometimes that this is a game life is a game we're only on borrowed time right and you can never take yourself too seriously i think that's one thing i do well is i love to have a laugh and i don't take myself too seriously um in answer to your question since that moment i've been thinking a lot about if i you know if i went now do you look back and say i couldn't have done anymore i had a great time and i think the answer is yes i mean we could all do, we can all do better.
[16] But my dad is an inspiration at respect because he's the kind of person that couldn't have squeezed one more drop out of his life, right?
[17] So I'm quite envious of that.
[18] He's 73 and who knows how long he's going to last.
[19] But I do feel like it's very important that when you get to whatever stage when God says that's enough for you, that you are able to look back and say, I couldn't have done anymore.
[20] And that scares me a little bit because...
[21] know exactly what when you think about more you're saying i could have done more you find out that this friday is your last day what are the things where you think do you know what because i think that the that moment like the the deathbed moment puts everything in perspective it does but i think in that moment your emotions are very different to when you're well and fit and on the hustle and just you know so you don't get a chance to reflect on that kind of moment until you're there yeah and the obvious reflection at that point is I wish I would have spent more time on my family you know I wish I would have been less focused probably on work but I'm not a believer in you know the thoughts then are not the thoughts now and you have to act on the moment you can't live your life saying well blind me when I'm on my deathbed you might look back in because I don't think you can plan like that you have to do what's in your heart you have to do what feels right and what feels right for me right now is this what might feel right then is do you know what should have probably missed a few trips really and just done the school run a little bit more and I know that you know you have to you really have to understand where you are in life this is great for your mental health as well and your sanity you've got to be honest with yourself and you've got to understand the situation I know exactly where I'm at what I'm thinking what I'm doing the sacrifices I'm making what I could do better at what I'd you know but I'm okay with it You know, you can't get the perfect balance, but as long as you understand what is going on and you're not deluded, you're not stubborn, I don't worry about, I'm not bad, I know.
[22] I know I need to do more at home.
[23] I know I need to do more school runs.
[24] I know I need to be less short with the wife sometimes.
[25] But can you, there's a couple of points here that I think is super interesting.
[26] So that deathbed moment, what I think it's doing, and I've never been there, you've not been there, but what I think it's doing is it's telling you what actually mattered.
[27] because to some degree I think that it's like with that hindsight you can say fuck that person criticizing my hair or my cut or this none of that fucking ever mattered all of that was trivial the things that mattered were as you say like my niece or my you know so I think that's what that moment's doing but that comes over time how old do you now?
[28] 27 2027 okay you're a baby right when I was 27 what people thought of me really mattered you know I mean listen I've been working out for 35 years years just to stay fat, you know, like the barnets going a little bit.
[29] I could not give a monkeys now.
[30] At your age, oh, mate, I was, you know, I might have been Jack the lad.
[31] I might have been turning up that, but deep down, you know, it'd only take one of the boys to say, you know, tell you what, Ed, you're putting on a bit of timbre there.
[32] Oh, look, look, your barnet's creeping back.
[33] What?
[34] What do you mean?
[35] What do you mean?
[36] Now, I'll go, yeah, mate, I know, listen, sign of the times, isn't it?
[37] So being comfortable with yourself is the best feeling in life.
[38] You know, it's the best feeling in life.
[39] And I think when I was growing up at school, I wasn't subconsciously.
[40] I think I had a massive chip on my shoulder.
[41] And that's why I was a bit of a knob, to be quite honest.
[42] But when you get comfortable with yourself, it's a beautiful thing in life.
[43] It really is.
[44] You know, when you wake up in a morning and you've always got to try it for me and look good and feel good and be the best version of yourself you can be.
[45] But you do get to a stage.
[46] And that's actually when you become really powerful and effective.
[47] You know, it's the same kind of thing.
[48] You know, when you're young and you're, you're, courting or you're looking for a young lady to show you some interest.
[49] You know, when you try really hard and you're sort of on edge and you're bit, oh, don't really like my hair, oh, God, you know, you know the ones that walk into the bar and just go, you know, I know I know I'm not the best, but I'll, you know, they're the ones that everybody gravitates to.
[50] Anyone with a smile on their face is always creates so much more energy and flowed than the people that don't.
[51] And that's about being comfortable in yourself.
[52] So I think that it's very difficult.
[53] of everything you've achieved at your age to just know where you're going or what you're doing, I'm done.
[54] Do you know what I mean?
[55] I'm married, I've got two kids, I've got busy, I'm struggling to balance everything, you know, but I'm here.
[56] You know, I'm not going to roll back the years and do this and do that and I know exactly what I'm doing.
[57] I know exactly where I'm out.
[58] I know exactly what I'm focusing on and that life starts to become a lot of easy then.
[59] At your age, you know, I went to work, I left college after my own levels, I went to work for five years in sports management companies and event management companies I was a sports agent on a PGA tour in America I had no idea where I was going I mean I just wanted to be successful I wanted to earn money but the mindset of or the changing mindset over the years is unbelievable I always say to people what matters to you now you will look back on when you get to my age and go I can't believe I even used to worry about stuff like that and that's important them because I feel like people that are very successful you know you did it at a very young age very impressive because I think it takes time now when I did the Cambridge talk the other day you know you're sitting down with all these young I mean I'm I'm street smart and I can sell right these people are like but I'm jealous of boffins I used to take the Mickey out of boffins I'm jealous of boffins now I find intellectual people fascinating I love talking to them and just trying to learn and absorb and I'm sitting in this room of people and they're listening to me and I'm thinking you know firstly you must be listening to me thinking this bloat who is he what is he a car used car dealer or something like that and then but I'm talking around I'm saying to you what do you want to do well uh you know what what is success to you they've not got clue and it's not because they're at Oxford and they're deluded it's because that's just it's very difficult at age to understand I don't believe anyone at 40 looks back at what they were thinking at 20 and said yeah I had this plan I'm there now and this is what I always wanted to do so it takes time to develop a passion for something and that that is the that's a key word passion because when we talk about being relentless and we talk about this work ethic you can only have it if you love what you do did you know that the Dario of a CEO now has its own channel exclusively on Samsung TV Plus 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.
