“Darkest hour friends - Find one, cherish them, and be one to someone else.” @sahilbloom
This week’s podcast with Sahil Bloom dives deep into the power of relationships and connection. We explore the concept of “darkest hour friends” and why they’re so essential, especially in a world grappling with a loneliness epidemic—perhaps one of society’s most urgent challenges today.
Listen to the full conversation to hear how Sahil was inspired by Tyler Perry’s ‘Leaves, Branches and Roots’ idea—and how it fits so well with his concept of Darkest Hour friends.

how do you know when you have enough?
if you don’t define it before you begin, you’ll end up chasing a horizon
the goal posts keep moving forward
enough is when you know more adds nothing

This relationship concept changed my life: it’s called the Helped, Heard, or Hugged Method.
When someone you love comes to you with a problem, you ask, “Do you want to be helped, heard, or hugged?”
• Helped: Deconstruct problem and identify solutions
• Heard: Listen and allow the other person to speak
• Hugged: Provide comforting touch
This method is a favorite of teachers, therapists, and coaches, as it creates a mutual understanding of what the other person needs from you in a situation.
If you’ve ever struggled to identify what your partner, friend, or family member needed in a situation, give the Helped, Heard, or Hugged Method a shot.
This is an excerpt from the Social Wealth Guide of my New York Times bestselling book, The 5 Types of Wealth. It’s one of ~50 actionable systems in the book for building the life you want.

Who are your ROOTS? This idea from Tyler Perry changed my life (and may change yours)…
There are three types of people in your life:
1. Leaves
2. Branches
3. Roots
Here’s what they look like...
LEAVES
These are the people that are only around from time to time when the weather is good.
They blow around as the winds change.
They provide shade during the summer, but as soon as winter comes, they fall off the tree and disappear.
BRANCHES
These are the people who are more present and stable than the leaves, but they aren’t permanent.
They look strong, but if you try to stand on them or pull yourself up from them, they may break under your weight.
ROOTS
These are the people who are permanent.
They are deep and wide.
They are there in the summer and the winter, they are unperturbed by the changing seasons.
The leaves and branches may come and go, but the roots are there forever.
I love this perspective.
There’s nothing wrong with having leaves and branches in your life.
When times are good, these people can bring joy to your world.
But never make the mistake of thinking they’ll be there during the bad.
Your roots are the real ones you can count on.
The most important question:
Who are your roots?
Who are the people who will be there through good and bad?
Who are the people who will sit in the mud with you?
Find them. Cherish them. Be the roots for someone else.

Happy 9th Anniversary to my beautiful wife!
True story: When I was 15, I tried to flirt with a cute girl on a class trip.
It was unsuccessful.
I’m sure as hell glad I tried again, because now she’s my wife.

A lot of problems are solved by waking up early and working out.
One daily action—major ripple effects.
When you wake up early and work out, you break any negative identity cycle that you may have been suffering from.
If you can get out of bed early and move, you’ve got something in you.
It’s one simple act that immediately makes you self-identify as a winner.
I AM NOT saying that you can’t be a winner if you don’t wake up early and work out.
I AM saying that I don’t know anyone who wakes up early and works out that isn’t a winner.

How I knew my wife was the one…
Before I got married,my mom asked me how I knew I had found my one.
My reply: “Because I love doing nothing with her.”
Life isn’t defined by the glamorous moments—it’s defined by the simple moments.
When you find someone you love doing nothing with, you’ve found your one.
Send this to someone you love doing NOTHING with!

Happy Mother’s Day to my world.
It still blows my mind that the pretty girl I met in the high school computer lab has blossomed into this beautiful woman and mother.
I count my blessings every single day that you were brought into my life.
