What is the most positive piece of of advice you have been given - when, where and by whom....

II’ll go to my mom again, she told me: “Winning and success are often times harder to deal with than failure.” I have talked to Elon Musk, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan about this concept, and written a chapter about how to deal with success in my book #POSITIVITY

Do you get positivity from religion or spirituality....

Well, first, I believe that “The Universe” has been good to me and helped me. Second, I get positivity from the Buddhist concept of forgiveness. Does this mean I am spiritual?

How do you react positively to fear....

I’m doing a good job of not wasting much of my time on fear.

Who is the most positive person in your life....

Has to be my best friend Chamath Palihapitya. Chamath is an amazing leader; he’s both a thought leader, and a company leader (a major mogul). He’s a classic rags to riches story (billionaire), and a great guy. He is a truth speaker with great vision, and one who speaks his mind, no matter what the consequences.

What is the key to you being resilient....

Constant improvement. Both in my primary relationship (wife), and in poker. My wife and I work hard in couples therapy, and we both keep working on our weaknesses. In poker, I spend a lot of time talking about poker theory with Brandon Cantu and Mike Matusow.
