I met a kid with bleach blonde hair yesterday. I told him he looked like Akira the Don. I feel great knowing he’ll listen to these lessons as a kid and hopefully integrate them into his life!
Been putting this one off for a while. Saving for a rainy day I suppose. Definitely helping motivate me to finnish setting up my laptop and audio interface this weekend. Music production has come a long way in the last decade. Can't wait to start playing with some of the new software out there. Back in mah day, Sony acid pro was the end all be all lol.
Bro. First i saw ur series w Dr. Peterson and my god i was obsessed and still am. Now im seeing NAVAL and others too... the world we live in is crazy // as much as i wish i could surround myself w ppl into these things / have my ppl already around me find interest, its nice knowing theres a whole community that actually IS interested and has the desire to learn. Thank you brother
Hey Akira, listening to this for the first time while working on converting an ambulance I bought into a camper. The "builder and Seller" track made me stop what I was doing and just listen. Very Intense. Great beat. Great track. Thanks again!
I loved the "Bucko" @27:00. Your reuse of sounds is brilliant. To engage with them over multiple tracks is interesting and fun. Like the sound you use @ the drop of "GO!," and the drop in "Tarantulas," and "How I Made Meaningwave," etc... The sound in multiple contexts almost reflects the tradition of "development" from composers in the classical European tradition; the sound takes on new characters through time and context. The simplest way it was done before was Mozart with a melody played in Major, then in minor (or visa versa), then developed. IT'S THE SAME between "GO!" and "Tarantulas". "GO!" uses the alarm-sound in a happy setting with the major key, and "Tarantulas" uses it epic-ally and intensely... So cool, man. Going through your Flow/Zone tweets now and eating up what I can apply to my life today. God bless you, man. Thank you. Onward!
@naval showing up on the premier live was amazing, the knowledge in this album is worthy of multiple listens...thank you for always making great art @akira.
Stumbled upon this for the first time yesterday. This is a G E N I U S concept. It's one of those things you need but you don't know it yet. No turning back now. Thanks for this Akira
Man, I absolutely loved the synchronicity of the optimism song around 1hour in with "optimistic and wrong". Same tune, complementary but not quite identical message, and he even mentions elon musk. At first I was like, what, he's using the exact same tune? Then as it kept going I was like oh... ooooooooh... right, I get it. 10/10
"If you can see the present, you can predict the future." Love that quote. Great job, Akira 😁 Can we have an Alfred Korzybiski meaningwave for all the Science and Sanity fans? 🙏
If a society does not respect that kind of wealth creation it will plunge into ruin and darkness. I listen to it and it points to the why the country I was born in is declining into the poverty abyss. The majority of the people do not respect wealth creators and think politics is the game you play to get ahead. Love the Jordan, Jocko and Naval mixes!
Absolutely amazing - just subscribed. Thank you for creating that, seriously. A little feedback: starting from about 60 minutes, the background music became more aggressive/fast/dense, so I had trouble hearing Naval’s nuggets on top of the background.
Just play it in the background and get shit done....Create and get wealthy. I love you Akira the Don and im not gonna stop thanking you. Thank you Brother🎶
This truly is a masterpiece. There's so much wisdom and the message isn't hard to remember because you can listen to it non stop without getting enough. The instrumental is lubricant for the brain, the knowledge just slips right in and F E E L S G O O D M A N. Meaning wave is awesome, thank you so much for bringing it into my life
Excellence!!!! Thank you Akira! Also, if you are using Logic Pro, could you be so kind to inform what app or program you prefer to use to capture Audio? Keep the Beauty Coming! :)
Just when life takes a dip into Shitland, Akira the mutha F’n Don drops a piece of heaven for us mortals. Fuckin’ love you bro! If meaning is place, I’m feeling like I’m in the right one right now. Grateful for what you do Don. Like I said before, DON’T EVER STOP!!! ❤️ 🌊 🌊 🌊 !!!!!
I am really amazed at the usefulness of what you are doing Akira. This is the closest we have right now from 'download to brain' like in the matrix when Neo say 'I know kung fu'. The music keep our mind open and deeply engaged while the content pour in. Self brainwashing never felt so good.
"Don't upgrade your lifestyle all the time in order to maintain your freedom." This is contains one of the many hidden meanings of the phrase, "The Tao loves and nourishes all things, but does not lord it over them." Become a productive person. Create value by serving others. -- But as soon as you put on airs and decide that you're too cool to ride around in anything less than a Ferrari, you stop embodying the Tao and become a slave to your own wealth. You begin to serve it instead of it serving you. And that's a very disastrous situation for other people as well because when you run into hard times, you'll be liable to become desperate and make stupid, selfish, and unethical moves in order to preserve your lifestyle and delusions of grandeur. This is the importance of developing oneself inwardly as well as outwardly. You want to be the kind of person who is massively productive, but is so inwardly contented and happy that he's comfortable living out of a cardboard box. Because that's how you buy freedom and find meaning. That's what's represented by the Buddist deity of wealth Hotei. He's too fat to be a poor person, contented, constantly smiling. And yet he carries nothing but a sack of trash that he shares with the children of whatever settlement he wanders through. Wealth comes to him because it isn't important to him to hold onto it. (Assuming you play the wealth game at all. The superior man who faces to the south becomes a minister. The superior man who faces to the north becomes a sage. Money isn't evil or anything, but it isn't a game for everyone.)
Hey Akira, have you ever thought of doing music for audiobooks? There are plenty of audiobooks publicly shared on RUclips you could turn into mixes. I would love to listen to, say, Rich Dad in a music mix
First you save my life, then you save my bank account.
For our next trick....
My experience as well
"The upside is unlimited and the down side is limited." I don't know why, but that's exactly what I needed to hear right now.
Excellent 🌊

43:23 "Clean up your room" I like the JP cameo ya snuck in there.
I met a kid with bleach blonde hair yesterday. I told him he looked like Akira the Don. I feel great knowing he’ll listen to these lessons as a kid and hopefully integrate them into his life!
NICE
Akira the Don closing an album with a track about reading! This is the counter-culture!
GANG!

Robots will never replace Akira

Truth!
Indeed, he has special knowledge
You are severely Underated.
You’re here and for that I am grateful
"You're not going to get rich renting out your time"
Man that's both scary and splendid

LOVE YOU!!
Ok, that is it, I am downloading all your albums on my phone and listen to them exclusively while hustling until I get rich.
GO FORTH AND BE MIGHTY!!!

Thanks g!!!
I've literally listened to this 8 times over. I cannot get enough of this album. I feel so inspired I feel like I'm transcending myself
Part 2 coming soon!!!
@@akirathedon Woot Woot!!
I love the JBP ad libs hahaha
BEST ADLIBS IN THE GAME!!
Can music change the world? I'd argue Akira just done it.
We doing it baby
Akira has become my default. Bravo!
THANK YOU!!!
Get rich, Akira, but remember that if you sell out, no one will be able to have hope for humanity.
NO SELL OUT

Thanks for lying attention Michael! Appreciate you!!
Very excited for this! Might well be that it confronts me with a topic I tried to avoid for a while. I envy your productivity!
LOOKING FORWARD TO LISTENING WITH YOU G
The soundtrack to a wealthy wholesome life just continues, thank you Akira!
Yessssss

Always glad to see you here 🌊
This was an awesome experience watching live, and is still just as awesome re-listening.
And you can reread the chat and pretend you’re still there. WHAT A TIME!
Stumbled upon this for the first time yesterday. This is a G E N I U S concept. It's one of those things you need but you don't know it yet. No turning back now.
Thanks for this Akira
Appreciate you!
*~compound interest~*
It’s like a heavenly refrain sung by angels in the background.
SHOUTS OUT TO BLAIRE!

Man the creation of that was mind blowing I’ll talk about it on Ask akira next week it was nuts
