#2 is sick. Great composition and nice natural pose. Good work Benny!

Social skills might be the most underrated, but this question is framed in a weird way. We know that abundance is the answer, so why focus on just one lever/pillar? Why not work to maximize all 3 as high as they can go?

@Felix Urbanek Looks and money have been at the forefront for a long time. Hustling at my job and using the paychecks towards wifi money ventures. Also, consistently working out and learning more about fashion, grooming, presentation, etc. One thing I "neglected" or didn't value as much was social skills and connections. I only recently realized that that was just as, if not more important than the above 2. I am keeping my effort towards looks and money high, but at the same time I am putting full focus on leveling up the social aspect so all three pillars grow together and I do not lack in any area. How about yourself? What are you currently prioritizing at the moment?

Real - Michael takes everyone's spiritual growth very seriously.

Kidding. It is a euphemism you're right. It's a form of break in rapport because when you say "Bible study" it's a very boring conservative wholesome connotation, and then people see that you were actually talking about a halloween party in LA with models everywhere, or shooting guns in the desert and blowing up cars. The difference between what you expect and what actually goes on is the humor.

Great interview. There is no "real" status in the same way that a cup or a chair is considered real. There is just perceived status. Ethan thought of a cool way to stretch this concept out to see how far it could go, and apparently it can go pretty far😂

No matter what "mindset hacks" you use if you've just gotten off deployment or are entering the social pool after time away, the hardest part will always be at the beginning when you have the least leverage and experience. Speedrunning the awkward stage and gaining those first few connections is key, just take daily action and get there as fast as possible. The more you build momentum the easier and more effective this gets. You'll be more calibrated, have more people in your circle, people are introducing you to who THEY know, etc. Abundance is always the answer.
