Happy New Year. I know it's been a while, but I feel like I have something to say that would benefit you as you start 2026 fresh.A lot of life changes for me recently. Since the last time I've been on this podcast, my son was born—I've become a parent, a dad. You start to see the world through a different lens and perspective. And I think it really brought something into focus for me, especially over the last year being a parent: how other parents have such strong opinions and beliefs about everything.If you somehow have a different belief or carry a different set of rules or want to parent differently than what they believe is the right way to do it, then instantly it's like you're demonized. And this isn't just in the world of parenting—this is in everything. Your life, your hobbies, your business, whatever it is that you want to do.If you aren't careful with these opinions and you aren't careful with how you manage everybody else in your life, then all of a sudden it starts to take you over and it starts to change the way you act.THE BEST WEIGHT YOU CAN LOSEThe message going into the new year—and this is something you can really do yourself, almost like a self-audit—is this: the best weight that you can lose in your life is the weight of other people's opinions. Free yourself completely from the shackles of other people's opinions.It's not something that happens by accident. It's not something you just wake up one day and do by flipping a switch. It's something you have to become consciously aware of all throughout the day. You have to become aware of it: Hey, I'm doing this because somebody else's opinion is hijacking my physical body. It's literally hijacking my physical body to the point where it alters the thing that I want to do.You have to get to that point where you can say to yourself: This is the direction that I want to go. This is what I want to do, so I'm going to literally not care about what other people think. On top of it, I'm just going to cross them out. I'm going to operate as if their opinion doesn't matter.Because if you think about it—this friend of mine believes this, my parents believe this, this family member believes that, my closest friend thinks I should do this—and you're doing something against what they believe, it's almost like you get put in the blender. Your self, your identity, and what you want to do is kind of mashed up in the blender of other people's opinions around you. It turns into mush. Your direction and your drive turn into mush because you're so afraid of what these people closest to you think.HOW TO PUT THIS INTO PRACTICEIt's easy in theory to say, "You know what? I'm just going to free myself from the shackles of other people's opinions." That's great in theory, but how do you put it into practice so that you aren't constantly locked up or frozen or hijacked by other people's opinions?1. NOBODY REALLY CARES ABOUT YOUThe first thing to realize, especially if you're someone who gets caught up in this: nobody really cares about you to the extent that you think they care about you.There's a thing called the spotlight syndrome, or main character syndrome—the belief that other people in your life (people really close to you, acquaintances, strangers, people who like you, people who dislike you) are all watching you. There's this belief that you are the main character in their minds too, and that you're the main character in this whole story called Earth.But the reality is you are not. You're the main character in your own life, and everybody else who you believe has opinions or a plan for how you should live your life? They don't actually care about you as much as you think. Why? Because they are the main character in their own story.
