What should a 25-year-old do every day for the next 5 years? If you could only pick three habits… what actually matters?
In this episode, Pat Mayo and Davis Mattek break down the three most important daily habits to build a profitable, healthy, successful life — and the conversation goes way beyond generic advice.
From working out for energy and “vigor,” to investing even when you have no money, to developing hobbies that aren’t tied to screens or profit… this turns into a real debate about discipline, burnout, vertical video addiction, prediction markets, sports culture, and even parenting.
This isn’t theory — it’s lived experience. What worked. What didn’t. What they’d change at 25.
