Core Philosophies and Rants (Louis Rossmann)You’ll be safe if I don’t pay for your paniniIn this video, Louis delves into a topic that diverges from his usual content: dating etiquette, specifically who should pay on the first date. The video was prompted by a conversation in which a woman expressed that if a man didn't pay on a first date, it would be a significant turn-off and make her feel unsafe. Louis challenges this notion, arguing that equating a man's failure to pay with feelings of being unsafe is inappropriate and overblown. He suggests that terms like "unsafe" should be reserved for genuinely threatening situations, not for instances where a man doesn't cover...

Core Philosophies and Rants (Louis Rossmann)How to invest in yourself, and the importance of value.In this episode, Louis discusses the importance of investing in oneself and provides detailed examples from their own experiences. He emphasizes that the initial step is to test an idea with minimal investment to see if it has potential. For instance, he started his YouTube channel with a cheap 200−300 camcorder, which eventually led to a significant increase in business through customer referrals from the channel. This minimal investment turned into substantial revenue, demonstrating that the channel was worth further investment.(I am not affiliated with Louis Rossmann) Original Video: https://youtu.be/9PeLUqt-vd0?si=8D5...

Core Philosophies and Rants (Louis Rossmann)How to properly reflect on failure.This episode discusses the concept of failure and the crucial differences in how successful and unsuccessful people perceive and handle it. The key distinction lies in their approach to goals and their focus on either the past or the future. Successful individuals set valid goals, which are achievable actions they can take in the future, such as "next time I will use the proper screwdriver." Conversely, invalid goals focus on the past, such as "I should have used the proper screwdriver," which cannot be changed and thus perpetuate a cycle of failure.Louis emphasizes the importance of...

Dino taught Louis the importance of honesty and accountability in interactions with others. One of Dino's key philosophies was encapsulated in his saying, "If you're going to be a bitch, be the whole bitch," meaning that it's better to be straightforward and honest, even if it is harsh, rather than being deceitful or insincere. Dino valued directness over politeness that masked true intentions, finding it more offensive when people pretended to care...

Core Philosophies and Rants (Louis Rossmann)I never assume I am the good guy or a good person. Here is why.Louis elaborates on his personal philosophy of assuming he is the "bad guy" in any situation. This mindset serves as a self-check to prevent him from becoming corrupt or complacent. He contrasts this with the common belief that people are inherently good and only others are evil, arguing that this black-and-white thinking can lead to dangerous self-righteousness. By always questioning his motives and actions, he aims to avoid the pitfalls of power, fame, and success that can lead to unethical behavior.(I am not affiliated with Louis Rossmann) Original Video: https://youtu.be/m7R...
