One of the most disastrous myths is that you must take MASSIVE ACTION to produce massive change. This is not only wrong, it’s unhelpful. What is “massive action,” anyway? Does it mean you must have a fancy podcast studio, sound editor, and producer in order to start a podcast? If so, you’ll never get started.
To create massive change in you life, you need to make small changes. Consider Stefan Molyneux, who has one of the biggest podcasts in the world, reaching millions of people in a month.”
“My first YouTube video had 300 listens. Some people tried to ridicule this. I thought it was great. How many first-time speakers can draw a crowd of 300 people?”
Stefan Molyneux’s early shows aren’t particular impressive, which is why he’s a massive success today. Success is the product of the work you put in for years and more likely decades.
As millions of people abandon TV and XM Radio, Molyneux’s show will get even bigger. Podcasts are the future.
Look also at Joe Rogan’s first podcast. It was stupid, he was in front of a Macbook, and there was some weird cloud montage.
Today the Joe Rogan podcast can take people into international stardom with one appearance. The Joe Rogan Experience is the Oprah of alpha males.
If Joe Rogan had waiting to take MASSIVE action by creating a huge podcast, he’d have failed.
Danger & Play started off as a dot wordpress dot org website. I didn’t even know how to have my own dot com site.
I took small actions each day, and since then have published two successful books, produced one feature length documentary, been on FoxNews, been banned from FoxNews, and seen my profile in the New Yorker.
A three-star general even praised Gorilla Mindset.

Yours are much better than Rogans...
I like campy early Molyneux. Looking at those earlier shows, and his appearance on Max Keiser's show which is where discovered him, really do seem like products of a different age. Also, there's definitely a germ of excellence in the early work of both Moly and Rogan, just makes you think of all the other passion projects that died due to lack of traction and the rest of life taking over.
I still remember the .WordPress days. Good times. Came in via the juicing articles and stayed for the hard-hitting advice.
And 2011-2012 Cernovich was a Goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus (no homo)
But I learned about ready fire aim and patient perseverance which has continued to be helpful to me even now
One thing that's interesting about Joe Rogan is that he has achieved something that very few of the general population ever will- a black belt in bjj. He has my respect for that alone. Anyone whose ever trained bjj knows you get beat up and massively fatigued every session. It takes 10yrs of getting beat on 2x-3x/week to be a bjj black belt-they're not belt mills like some styles of martial arts. A black belt in bjj is a real accomplishment.
It's funny you should mention. In fact, a couple of other people have touched on things kind of related in the past week or so, like a big hand pointing to it. Maybe it's confirmation bias: Watching waves roll in a couple weeks ago, I realized that doing things incrementally is the only way I've ever made any real change in myself. It was Einstein's quip about compound interest being the most powerful force in the universe that put it together for me. That and watching waves slowly shift the shoreline.
Coming back to this, it's surreal to see the next National Security Advisor praise Gorilla Mindset. That's the hallmark of a job well done!
I will do my best to get there too!
