Joe Rogan Experience #1910 - Mark Laita

The problem with 90% of the people Mark interviews is a lack of love when they were kids. If you don’t get any love when you were younger, you’re gonna have lifelong problems. Whether that’s drugs or sex work or whatever. It’s down to people having children when they aren’t up to the task at hand.

I honestly don't know how he does it. I recently started helping a homeless girl. Honestly in part due to being inspired by this guy. Its absolutely heart breaking hearing her stories. I managed to get her into housing and employed in only a couple weeks. It cost me less than a hundred bucks. She told me I was literally the only stranger she met who helped her. It broke my heart when she told me that.

I was born to 2 alcoholics. I was never given love. I was given beatings, yelled at, called the most awful names a child should never feel. My dad killed my cat by slamming my cat against rocks while I cried and begged him to stop; I was 12. They were strict and isolated me from others. They had me cooking and doing all the house chores by 11 years old. At 15 my mom kicked me out. I was homeless for a while. At 15 I made up my mind. I had something to prove to those 2 monsters. I decided to be the complete opposite of them, and to do whatever it took to succeed. I have a career, make more money than they ever did, and most importantly be the best mom I can be. It worked. I graduated from one of the best private colleges. I have a career. I have my own business. I have a beautiful family. I work everyday to heal my childhood wounds. I turned out well no one’s perfect, but I reached my goal. My parents didn’t go to my graduation, even though I invited them. They now asked me for money. My dad died two years ago of alcoholism and my mother asked me recently to move in with me and live for free. She asks me for money every single month, and I give it to her otherwise she wouldn’t survive yeah I know, a lot of friends have told me to stop. I just don’t talk to her much it feels yucky to speak to her. Yet, I wouldn’t change anything. That sad bruised up kid made me who I am today. I am grateful for everything I have and especially grateful for my beautiful children. Idea: Maybe you can interview Adults Children of Alcoholics and Drug addicts who managed to choose a better path. I think that would be cool too.

2 interviewers interviewing eachother about interviews

Hearing Mark cry when he talks about how his mother loved him is so beautiful. I hope my son would speak of me that way some day. ❤

"A crash course in empathy" - that was the perfect way for Mark to describe his channel. That's exactly what it's been for me.

I think Mark is his mother’s best work in life, and that is quite a compliment.

1:57:13 I’ve been interviewed by Mark recently. I’m a nobody, not famous or special. But Mark spoke to me when interviewing me EXACTLY like he speaks with Joe Rogan. No different. The way he talks here with emotion is how he talked to me before the interview. I was worried he was gonna be bad to me or something as a woman (I brought a friend with me for protection), but he treated me gently. His co workers were quiet and gentle too.

Mark Latia's youtube channel is a goldmine for people that are interested in human behaviors and how the mind works.

My sister was on Heroin, Meth and Opioids and would always get worse when her fiance was around. They were so in love, but so bitterly toxic towards each other. When they would split up she would move back home, get clean, get a job and start to be a great mother to her 2 children who were taken away from her. The last time they split up we thought it was the last time they would be together and she was going to finally cross that line into a better life. It only took like 3 months. She went back and was found dead in a motel room. She overdosed on Meth and Heroin. It is hard to know that everyone had their hands out to help, but when the person doesn't want help you can't do anything about it.
