I’ve been all over the world to talk about my book, but I hadn’t been to reddit yet and I had to find a way to chat with all of you. And I’ve done so many AMAs that it seemed boring to me. Hell, I’ve even had redditors to ask me to yell out their favorite movie lines.
I told my team, “What if instead of asking me questions, redditors ask me for advice?” The whole reason Be Useful came to be is that I accidentally stumbled into being a self-help guy. I am all about vision - and my vision was being the greatest bodybuilder of all time, getting into movies, and becoming rich and famous. But I never envisioned that my life would become about helping other people. The more I gave commencement speeches and grew my daily newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club, the more I realized there was a need for a positive voice out there in all this negativity. People were asking me for advice every day, and I realized I loved helping them more than I love walking down red carpets. So I finally gave in to my agent and wrote my tools for life down in Be Useful.
And now I’m here, to give you guys any advice you want or need. I asked around and I was told this community would be the perfect place. Let’s see how this goes. Give me whatever questions you want me to answer. Ask me for advice. Let’s see how I can do. Trust me, I have been on reddit for a decade, I am not a forehead. My advice will never be “Buy the book.”
Let’s go. You guys start and I’ll give you an hour to get some questions going and start trying my best to give you my take on whatever situation you’re in.
