WEBVTT - EP 147 | Discovering Your Worth with Hofit Golan

0:00:00.050 --> 0:00:03.680
<v S1>Welcome back to another episode of Building Billions. It's Natalie Dawson,

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.310
<v S1>your host, but more importantly, a testament of what is possible.

0:00:07.310 --> 0:00:10.160
<v S1>Forget about playing it safe or sticking to the script.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.310
<v S1>As a business owner, it's time you redefine success on

0:00:13.310 --> 0:00:16.070
<v S1>your own terms. My mission is to not only give

0:00:16.070 --> 0:00:19.489
<v S1>you a sense of ownership, motivation, and strategic direction in

0:00:19.489 --> 0:00:23.120
<v S1>your business, but I'm here to affirm that it's perfectly fine.

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.630
<v S1>In fact, it's crucial to break the mold and chase

0:00:26.630 --> 0:00:30.230
<v S1>what seems unattainable. It's time to be unreasonable with all

0:00:30.260 --> 0:00:34.339
<v S1>of the personal, professional, and financial goals not only for you,

0:00:34.340 --> 0:00:37.610
<v S1>but for your family and your team members too. This

0:00:37.610 --> 0:00:42.050
<v S1>podcast is your guidebook. Let's build billions together. Make sure

0:00:42.050 --> 0:00:44.449
<v S1>you subscribe to my YouTube channel for more insights and

0:00:48.050 --> 0:00:50.750
<v S1>or your notes app and listen up as the next

0:00:50.750 --> 0:00:56.060
<v S1>episode of Building Billions starts right now. Well, I am

0:00:56.060 --> 0:00:59.150
<v S1>so excited for this episode because I have had the

0:00:59.150 --> 0:01:02.810
<v S1>pleasure of meeting this incredible woman on a handful of occasions.

0:01:02.810 --> 0:01:04.700
<v S1>And then I went and stalked her social media, which

0:01:04.700 --> 0:01:06.230
<v S1>is exactly what you're going to want to do. After

0:01:06.230 --> 0:01:09.530
<v S1>hearing this episode and realized how much of a powerhouse

0:01:09.530 --> 0:01:12.470
<v S1>she truly is. I want to welcome her feet onto

0:01:12.500 --> 0:01:14.060
<v S1>building billions welcome.

0:01:14.090 --> 0:01:16.820
<v S2>From one powerhouse to the other. It's a pleasure to

0:01:16.819 --> 0:01:17.390
<v S2>be here.

0:01:17.420 --> 0:01:20.779
<v S1>I love that you are such an enigma to me.

0:01:20.780 --> 0:01:23.720
<v S1>I was just explaining to this this to her offline

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:28.580
<v S1>because you are just so warm and so kind and

0:01:28.580 --> 0:01:32.419
<v S1>so lovely and just, like, really a powerhouse in person.

0:01:32.420 --> 0:01:35.059
<v S1>And then I look at your social media and you

0:01:35.060 --> 0:01:39.289
<v S1>are this influencer and walking the red carpet and in

0:01:39.290 --> 0:01:42.350
<v S1>all of these places, doing all of these things that

0:01:42.350 --> 0:01:44.300
<v S1>I feel like are so easy to put somebody on

0:01:44.300 --> 0:01:48.350
<v S1>a pedestal and not equate kindness and being wonderful and

0:01:48.350 --> 0:01:51.530
<v S1>soft to like most people, try to separate those two

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.440
<v S1>because they're they can't you can't have both, right? They

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.020
<v S1>tell you you can't have both, but you do have that.

0:01:57.020 --> 0:02:00.480
<v S1>You have this incredible life, but you also are so

0:02:00.510 --> 0:02:04.440
<v S1>warm and kind. Can you walk us through how you

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.020
<v S1>got started in the work that you do, and give

0:02:07.020 --> 0:02:09.540
<v S1>us a little bit of a background of what makes

0:02:09.540 --> 0:02:10.769
<v S1>you who you are today?

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.880
<v S2>Wow, thanks. Thank you. First of all, for that amazing intro. Um,

0:02:15.870 --> 0:02:18.330
<v S2>I don't even know where to start, but the honest

0:02:18.330 --> 0:02:20.760
<v S2>truth is to to what you were saying about being

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:25.559
<v S2>kind or being nice while being amazing. Well, well, doing

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.080
<v S2>what you love to do, right? You can call it

0:02:28.110 --> 0:02:31.440
<v S2>what you want to call it, but one doesn't cost

0:02:31.470 --> 0:02:33.960
<v S2>the other. I used to always say when I was

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:38.399
<v S2>doing charity work, that you can do good for others

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.630
<v S2>and yourself at the same time. So while you're giving

0:02:42.660 --> 0:02:45.720
<v S2>to yourself, you can also give to others. And by

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.860
<v S2>lifting others, you actually elevate yourself. And so people always

0:02:49.860 --> 0:02:55.620
<v S2>think of a compartmentalized approach to themselves or to their business,

0:02:55.620 --> 0:02:58.130
<v S2>to their their family and love life. They have this

0:02:58.130 --> 0:03:01.310
<v S2>separation like the church and state. I don't have a

0:03:01.310 --> 0:03:03.260
<v S2>church and I don't have a state. I just have

0:03:03.260 --> 0:03:05.720
<v S2>that 24 hours in a day and I want to

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.930
<v S2>optimize every second. I want to make it like a

0:03:08.930 --> 0:03:13.310
<v S2>little cow in them. I want those to work for

0:03:13.310 --> 0:03:15.919
<v S2>me because I know that this is my one life.

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.640
<v S2>I am the driver of that life, and I want

0:03:19.669 --> 0:03:22.970
<v S2>to do the best I can for myself in that life.

0:03:22.970 --> 0:03:28.970
<v S2>But that said, in doing that, you can simultaneously without

0:03:28.970 --> 0:03:32.630
<v S2>spending an ounce of extra effort, do it for someone

0:03:32.630 --> 0:03:36.350
<v S2>else and you're stronger together. And I believe in the

0:03:36.350 --> 0:03:40.040
<v S2>squad mentality. I believe in the teamwork mentality. I believe

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.580
<v S2>that what you raise yourself, you can raise others. I'm

0:03:43.580 --> 0:03:45.620
<v S2>not one of those girls that doesn't want any other

0:03:45.620 --> 0:03:48.500
<v S2>girl around her to be pretty or successful. In fact,

0:03:48.500 --> 0:03:50.090
<v S2>if you go on my social media, you'll see all

0:03:50.090 --> 0:03:54.350
<v S2>my girlfriends are super hot, younger, super successful, and I

0:03:54.350 --> 0:03:57.230
<v S2>want to elevate. I celebrate that. I love to be

0:03:57.230 --> 0:04:03.020
<v S2>attracted to people who are successful or doing what they

0:04:03.020 --> 0:04:05.840
<v S2>love to do, or at least having the passion and

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.270
<v S2>desire to chase what it is that they want to do.

0:04:08.300 --> 0:04:11.150
<v S2>Because you could be anywhere in your journey. Success is

0:04:11.150 --> 0:04:15.529
<v S2>a concept and what you really have to realize that

0:04:15.530 --> 0:04:17.810
<v S2>you never reach your goal. If you really want to

0:04:17.810 --> 0:04:22.100
<v S2>live a truly successful life, you will reach your goal

0:04:22.100 --> 0:04:26.029
<v S2>one time. And if you're lucky enough to realize that goal,

0:04:26.060 --> 0:04:29.779
<v S2>it'll be like on your deathbed, few breaths before you

0:04:29.779 --> 0:04:33.200
<v S2>leave this earth. That is when you reach your goal.

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.620
<v S2>That is the end of you making plans, having things

0:04:36.620 --> 0:04:39.560
<v S2>to look forward to. Then you only looking back and

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.700
<v S2>hopefully you're saying, did it suck that cow dry? I'm

0:04:43.700 --> 0:04:47.300
<v S2>good to go. Take me so. But till that moment

0:04:47.300 --> 0:04:52.729
<v S2>comes you're never there. You're never successful. Because you got

0:04:52.730 --> 0:04:57.500
<v S2>to keep yourself challenged. You got to keep yourself interested, motivated.

0:04:57.500 --> 0:05:02.540
<v S2>You got to keep yourself hungry to go to any level.

0:05:02.570 --> 0:05:05.360
<v S2>Call it the next level. Call it another level. But

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.840
<v S2>you got to keep yourself driven to get out of

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:13.490
<v S2>bed and go do something exciting with your day. How

0:05:13.490 --> 0:05:14.480
<v S2>do you do that?

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.670
<v S1>Like what is the what is the mechanism that you

0:05:16.670 --> 0:05:20.900
<v S1>choose to keep that motivation and even look at life

0:05:20.900 --> 0:05:22.730
<v S1>like you're just like sucking everything.

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:23.989
<v S2>What's the alternative?

0:05:24.020 --> 0:05:27.680
<v S1>Well, watching television, I mean, so many people are just TV.

0:05:27.710 --> 0:05:29.900
<v S2>There's nothing wrong with it. But they don't do.

0:05:29.930 --> 0:05:32.869
<v S1>Like people who do watch television and, like, are on

0:05:32.870 --> 0:05:36.739
<v S1>social media constantly and really don't have this viewpoint that

0:05:36.740 --> 0:05:40.910
<v S1>you're talking about struggle to find motivation because they escape

0:05:40.910 --> 0:05:44.839
<v S1>through these different avenues. And so how do you still

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:49.310
<v S1>use those avenues but also create this life that is

0:05:49.310 --> 0:05:53.660
<v S1>so spectacular and you have accomplished really, It's like incredible things.

0:05:53.690 --> 0:05:56.750
<v S2>Close your eyes for three seconds. What do you hear

0:05:56.750 --> 0:06:00.049
<v S2>inside your head? That's you talking to you. Is there

0:06:00.050 --> 0:06:04.400
<v S2>a voice that's more loud in your head? If there is.

0:06:04.430 --> 0:06:07.880
<v S2>Change that voice. Change the frequency. Go to Am to FM,

0:06:07.910 --> 0:06:11.630
<v S2>FM to am, go digital. Go download. The voice that

0:06:11.630 --> 0:06:13.520
<v S2>you need to hear is in your head. It's you.

0:06:13.610 --> 0:06:16.280
<v S2>Are you talking to yourself? What did you. What do

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.460
<v S2>you want to do? What makes you happy? That's it,

0:06:19.460 --> 0:06:21.950
<v S2>that's it. It begins with the seed of thought. You know,

0:06:21.980 --> 0:06:24.560
<v S2>there's the movie. Inception really resonated with me. And there's

0:06:24.589 --> 0:06:27.110
<v S2>a scene. There's a scene in the movie where it

0:06:27.110 --> 0:06:32.930
<v S2>says the idea. There's nothing more powerful than an idea,

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:37.040
<v S2>because once it catches in the mind, it spreads all

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:42.560
<v S2>through you. Once you get an idea, it's the seed

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.830
<v S2>that will become a tree that will become a forest.

0:06:45.830 --> 0:06:48.919
<v S2>But it has to start with that idea. That idea

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.930
<v S2>is you talking to yourself? Your heart talking to your head.

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.860
<v S2>Your head. Talking to your heart. Your soul saying this

0:06:56.860 --> 0:06:59.080
<v S2>is what I want. This is what makes me happy.

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:03.039
<v S2>And we are trained in society from childhood to dial

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.590
<v S2>that voice down. Because you're told as a child, what

0:07:05.589 --> 0:07:07.720
<v S2>do you want to be when you grow up? That's

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.550
<v S2>a lot of pressure. I don't know what I want

0:07:09.580 --> 0:07:12.220
<v S2>to be when I grow up right now, and I

0:07:12.250 --> 0:07:14.260
<v S2>kind of grew up and I'm still growing up, I

0:07:14.260 --> 0:07:16.540
<v S2>don't know, ask me what I do for a living.

0:07:16.540 --> 0:07:19.690
<v S2>And I might be like, today, it's one thing, tomorrow

0:07:19.690 --> 0:07:21.940
<v S2>it's another one day I'm an influencer, another day I'm

0:07:21.940 --> 0:07:26.110
<v S2>a public speaker, and tomorrow might be a biohacker. And

0:07:26.140 --> 0:07:29.440
<v S2>right now I'm a crypto queen. It's hot. But a

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.990
<v S2>year ago it was crashing that came off my profile quick.

0:07:32.020 --> 0:07:35.290
<v S2>I'm just saying it's okay not to know all the

0:07:35.290 --> 0:07:38.710
<v S2>answers to your life when you're a kid or even

0:07:38.710 --> 0:07:42.250
<v S2>when you're an adult, because the beauty is you own

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:46.720
<v S2>your time and you can constantly discover versions of yourself.

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:51.370
<v S2>You can constantly challenge yourself. You are allowed to U-turn.

0:07:51.370 --> 0:07:53.500
<v S2>You are allowed to turn left. You are allowed to

0:07:53.530 --> 0:07:57.790
<v S2>redefine who you want to be. Because just because some

0:07:57.790 --> 0:08:01.540
<v S2>teacher or your family, or your neighbors or your friends

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.600
<v S2>put an ideology of you that this is who you

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.570
<v S2>need to be. This is your definition of success. If

0:08:07.570 --> 0:08:11.470
<v S2>it's not resonating with you, if it's not making you

0:08:11.470 --> 0:08:13.270
<v S2>excited to get out of bed, if you wouldn't do

0:08:13.270 --> 0:08:18.670
<v S2>it for free, then do something else. It's okay to

0:08:18.670 --> 0:08:22.150
<v S2>turn your back on your past that led you to

0:08:22.180 --> 0:08:25.750
<v S2>where you need to be. If that means you're turning

0:08:25.750 --> 0:08:29.320
<v S2>in a different direction because there's no mistakes, falling off

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:33.370
<v S2>the horse is as important as riding it like Seabiscuit,

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:38.860
<v S2>because in the failure comes your opportunity to learn, to educate,

0:08:38.890 --> 0:08:44.679
<v S2>to strengthen and to reevaluate and come back stronger. Nobody

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:48.910
<v S2>rarely wins their first race, right? Get a train. You

0:08:48.910 --> 0:08:51.850
<v S2>got to get good. Venus Williams didn't go into the

0:08:51.850 --> 0:08:56.410
<v S2>first match and win. She came in hot and amazing

0:08:56.410 --> 0:09:00.970
<v S2>but got there trained from childhood. It wasn't like you

0:09:00.970 --> 0:09:06.280
<v S2>were born winning tournaments. So everybody needs to calm down

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:10.239
<v S2>a little bit. Chill, relax with the self pressure and

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.180
<v S2>relax with the FOMO. And by all means, don't go

0:09:13.179 --> 0:09:15.969
<v S2>into my social media and look at my life and

0:09:15.970 --> 0:09:20.020
<v S2>think that something is missing from yours. Because everything I have,

0:09:20.020 --> 0:09:24.280
<v S2>I gave myself, there's no daddy, there's no husband, there's

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.689
<v S2>no provider. I am my provider. And the bank that

0:09:28.690 --> 0:09:31.930
<v S2>I rely on is the Bank of Guerlain. And it's

0:09:31.929 --> 0:09:35.380
<v S2>here between my ears. This is my bank. You got

0:09:35.380 --> 0:09:39.370
<v S2>your bank and you have your bank. You're born with it.

0:09:39.370 --> 0:09:44.200
<v S2>So one of the mistakes that women do to women,

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.140
<v S2>I think the moms, is that they they say to

0:09:47.170 --> 0:09:51.550
<v S2>little girls, and maybe it's changing in today's generation, but

0:09:51.550 --> 0:09:55.150
<v S2>in my generation, growing up, find yourself a rich husband.

0:09:55.630 --> 0:09:58.810
<v S2>I am a rich husband to myself. I am my

0:09:58.809 --> 0:10:02.320
<v S2>own rich husband, and that gives me the power to

0:10:02.350 --> 0:10:05.710
<v S2>own my day, to own my time. What I got,

0:10:05.740 --> 0:10:09.070
<v S2>I earned myself. It's not about the stuff. Because if

0:10:09.070 --> 0:10:12.760
<v S2>somebody gives you a beautiful ring or a beautiful handbag,

0:10:12.790 --> 0:10:17.050
<v S2>you're happy for three seconds. Then what? Then you're like,

0:10:17.050 --> 0:10:19.179
<v S2>resent the person because they didn't give you something the

0:10:19.179 --> 0:10:21.970
<v S2>next day, and then you want more things, and then

0:10:21.970 --> 0:10:27.220
<v S2>you become transactional, and then you're treated as an transactional

0:10:27.309 --> 0:10:29.949
<v S2>in return. And women wonder, why is he treating me

0:10:29.950 --> 0:10:33.310
<v S2>like that? Why did he treat me? Well, you set

0:10:33.309 --> 0:10:37.780
<v S2>the dialogue by being transactional. I mean, don't get me wrong,

0:10:37.780 --> 0:10:40.809
<v S2>I love getting gifts. There's nothing wrong with that. But

0:10:40.809 --> 0:10:43.570
<v S2>that is not what is my mission in what I

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.900
<v S2>surround myself with. self-worth. I surround myself with people that

0:10:46.900 --> 0:10:51.160
<v S2>give me goosebumps and they make me think like, man,

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.920
<v S2>I need to do more. Like, look at my partner,

0:10:53.950 --> 0:10:59.260
<v S2>the guy I date. He's a superhuman Superman. And I'm thinking,

0:10:59.260 --> 0:11:02.050
<v S2>I haven't done anything in my life. I'm not jumping

0:11:02.050 --> 0:11:05.109
<v S2>out of airplanes or running across the world with my

0:11:05.110 --> 0:11:09.699
<v S2>feet burning off or flying helicopters. I always surround myself

0:11:09.700 --> 0:11:13.780
<v S2>with people that are more successful, more inspiring, more rich.

0:11:13.809 --> 0:11:15.790
<v S2>I want to be the smallest person in the room

0:11:15.790 --> 0:11:20.230
<v S2>because you know why? They will bring me up and

0:11:20.230 --> 0:11:23.559
<v S2>I bring other people up along the way, because it's

0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:27.910
<v S2>so rewarding to give back and share with other people

0:11:27.910 --> 0:11:30.730
<v S2>what you've learned along the way. That is how knowledge

0:11:30.730 --> 0:11:35.140
<v S2>should be acquired and passed along. So when you look

0:11:35.170 --> 0:11:38.170
<v S2>at it like that, there's no room for the ego

0:11:38.170 --> 0:11:41.349
<v S2>and the patting yourself on your back. Or this I

0:11:41.380 --> 0:11:43.209
<v S2>am this or that, because I am none of it.

0:11:43.210 --> 0:11:47.290
<v S2>I'm just me trying to fill my days with joy

0:11:47.290 --> 0:11:51.400
<v S2>and excitement and fulfillment, and then keep going and do

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:57.160
<v S2>it again. And then if you define that as something aspirational,

0:11:57.190 --> 0:11:59.590
<v S2>go do it. And if you want to learn how,

0:11:59.590 --> 0:12:03.640
<v S2>I'm here and I'll share my my system with you. Um,

0:12:04.030 --> 0:12:07.660
<v S2>but the only voice that you listen to is your own,

0:12:07.660 --> 0:12:10.450
<v S2>and that will drive you. If you have other people

0:12:10.450 --> 0:12:13.360
<v S2>in your ear, it's time to change them. Mm.

0:12:13.570 --> 0:12:16.689
<v S1>It's beautiful because most people are listening to other people

0:12:16.690 --> 0:12:20.110
<v S1>or watching other people's social media accounts and thinking, I'm

0:12:20.110 --> 0:12:22.300
<v S1>not there yet. I don't have that. And then you

0:12:22.300 --> 0:12:24.970
<v S1>start putting labels on, oh, she got lucky. She was

0:12:24.970 --> 0:12:27.280
<v S1>born into this. She was able to do these things

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.460
<v S1>that I wasn't for. Insert the blank reason. So when

0:12:30.460 --> 0:12:35.350
<v S1>you think about yourself and your journey with comparison to

0:12:35.380 --> 0:12:39.189
<v S1>other people in your space, other people who are influencers,

0:12:39.220 --> 0:12:43.220
<v S1>other people who donate their time philanthropically, how do you

0:12:43.250 --> 0:12:47.210
<v S1>continue to listen to yourself and not even just like

0:12:47.210 --> 0:12:49.459
<v S1>subtly kind of have those like little creeping in.

0:12:49.490 --> 0:12:52.910
<v S2>Thoughts of FOMO? Okay, I had that. Okay. I've had

0:12:52.910 --> 0:12:56.480
<v S2>that illness and that's fine. But I used my FOMO

0:12:56.510 --> 0:13:00.050
<v S2>as a driver. I use it as a motivator. I

0:13:00.050 --> 0:13:03.319
<v S2>was like, I want that. I'm going and getting it.

0:13:03.350 --> 0:13:07.520
<v S2>I didn't complain about it. I just found a roadmap.

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.060
<v S2>I'm here and I need to get there. Now, you

0:13:11.090 --> 0:13:14.000
<v S2>you put your own Google Waze in your head and

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.800
<v S2>you're like, can I go this way? How do I

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.220
<v S2>know that can get me there? You activate your network

0:13:19.250 --> 0:13:22.550
<v S2>is your net worth. So you put people around you

0:13:22.580 --> 0:13:26.030
<v S2>that are like minded so that you can kind of

0:13:26.059 --> 0:13:29.390
<v S2>grow together, and you plug into each other's worlds and

0:13:29.390 --> 0:13:34.670
<v S2>you elevate each other. And if the people around you don't,

0:13:36.230 --> 0:13:39.319
<v S2>I don't like to say affirm, because today affirmation has

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.120
<v S2>been used in a completely different woke direction, which I

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.690
<v S2>don't affirm. Um, but if people around you are not

0:13:46.690 --> 0:13:51.969
<v S2>supporting you and empowering you and and giving you constructive

0:13:51.970 --> 0:13:55.120
<v S2>feedback because I don't mean having people around you that

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.090
<v S2>are just your. Yes, sir. Yes, ma'am. No, you don't

0:13:58.090 --> 0:14:00.460
<v S2>want that. That's the worst kind of people. But people

0:14:00.460 --> 0:14:03.760
<v S2>around you that are not empowering you to really live

0:14:03.790 --> 0:14:07.480
<v S2>the life you want to live. Change them. There's eight people,

0:14:07.510 --> 0:14:12.190
<v S2>8 billion people on the planet. Make new friends. What's

0:14:12.190 --> 0:14:17.140
<v S2>the problem? If people around you are not empowering you

0:14:17.140 --> 0:14:20.320
<v S2>to move forward? It's time to close that chapter and

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.050
<v S2>write a new chapter with people that will do that

0:14:23.050 --> 0:14:23.470
<v S2>for you.

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.710
<v S1>I figured out this hack where I will follow people

0:14:26.710 --> 0:14:29.830
<v S1>or look at other people's lives. And when I do

0:14:29.830 --> 0:14:32.620
<v S1>have those feelings of like, man, I'd like to do that,

0:14:32.620 --> 0:14:35.500
<v S1>or like, that looks cool, and how do I create

0:14:35.500 --> 0:14:37.990
<v S1>that in my own life? Instead of being frustrated with

0:14:37.990 --> 0:14:41.500
<v S1>myself or down on myself for thinking that I'm lame or,

0:14:41.530 --> 0:14:44.590
<v S1>you know, whatever the FOMO is, I just think I

0:14:44.590 --> 0:14:48.250
<v S1>want that, and I don't have it yet. So if

0:14:48.250 --> 0:14:50.890
<v S1>you just don't have it yet, you can still believe

0:14:50.890 --> 0:14:52.870
<v S1>in yourself if you really want it to. Your point

0:14:52.870 --> 0:14:54.820
<v S1>about like listening to your own voice. Like, if I

0:14:54.820 --> 0:14:58.570
<v S1>really want this in this lifetime, I just don't have

0:14:58.570 --> 0:15:01.990
<v S1>it yet. But I will get it because it's important

0:15:01.990 --> 0:15:03.940
<v S1>to me. And if I go through that whole train

0:15:03.970 --> 0:15:07.180
<v S1>of thought and I'm like, well, is this really worth pursuing?

0:15:07.210 --> 0:15:09.490
<v S1>As if like, it's a goal and it's something that

0:15:09.490 --> 0:15:11.800
<v S1>I'm going to go after or is or is it

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.790
<v S1>not that important? And it's just some like, silly thing,

0:15:15.790 --> 0:15:17.800
<v S1>maybe I don't really want it and I can be

0:15:17.830 --> 0:15:20.350
<v S1>happy that that person has that, but that's not my

0:15:20.350 --> 0:15:22.930
<v S1>path and that's okay. That it's not my path.

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.600
<v S2>If you don't miss it before you go to bed,

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:30.040
<v S2>you didn't actually want it. It's very easy to be

0:15:31.450 --> 0:15:36.460
<v S2>influenced into thinking you want something. It's trending. It's cool.

0:15:36.460 --> 0:15:41.290
<v S2>Everyone's doing this. Everyone's doing this trend, I need it.

0:15:41.620 --> 0:15:45.640
<v S2>I've seen people literally go on vacation because they want

0:15:45.670 --> 0:15:48.460
<v S2>to be somewhere, because they want that picture that their

0:15:48.460 --> 0:15:53.170
<v S2>influencers are doing. If you don't miss it before you

0:15:53.170 --> 0:15:56.140
<v S2>go to bed, you don't need it. Listen to your

0:15:56.140 --> 0:15:59.830
<v S2>inner voice as your guide. Simutaneously. It's great to be

0:15:59.830 --> 0:16:02.890
<v S2>influenced because that's what we're doing. We're showing people cool

0:16:02.890 --> 0:16:05.260
<v S2>things to do and cool ways to do it. But

0:16:05.260 --> 0:16:08.590
<v S2>always take a step back and go, this. Yeah, I

0:16:08.590 --> 0:16:11.890
<v S2>like that. That works for me, but not this one doesn't.

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:18.070
<v S2>Don't be completely gullible. Simultaneously are so easily influenced. Just

0:16:18.070 --> 0:16:22.360
<v S2>because someone you look up to is doing it doesn't

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.060
<v S2>mean that you need to do it. And what I've

0:16:25.060 --> 0:16:29.229
<v S2>always said to my community don't get jealous, get inspired,

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:33.850
<v S2>get inspired, then get motivated, get motivated, then get into action.

0:16:33.850 --> 0:16:37.600
<v S2>Because that's what I did. I identified as a teenager

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.530
<v S2>what my life needed to look like. How did you

0:16:41.530 --> 0:16:47.260
<v S2>do that? So I was, for me, my environment.

0:16:47.260 --> 0:16:48.550
<v S1>I really want the story.

0:16:48.550 --> 0:16:51.609
<v S2>I just, I was fascinated. I was born in Israel

0:16:51.610 --> 0:16:55.000
<v S2>and then when I was quite young, we moved around

0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:58.300
<v S2>a lot because of my parents jobs. And I moved

0:16:58.300 --> 0:17:00.730
<v S2>to Canada, actually, I moved first to New York, then

0:17:00.730 --> 0:17:03.790
<v S2>back to Israel, then to Canada, and we were supposed

0:17:03.790 --> 0:17:06.520
<v S2>to only move to Canada for a year, and we

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.160
<v S2>ended up never going back to Israel. And it was

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.320
<v S2>very difficult for me as a kid because I had

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:15.820
<v S2>my family, my community, my friends, and I was really, really,

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:20.440
<v S2>really lonely and really bullied because I have a funny

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:25.810
<v S2>name and a funny accent. And, um, there was no

0:17:25.810 --> 0:17:30.190
<v S2>social media back then. There was no talk about mental health.

0:17:30.190 --> 0:17:33.760
<v S2>So if you're bullied, you just had to deal with it. Um,

0:17:34.270 --> 0:17:39.430
<v S2>And my inner voice was saying to me, I'm not

0:17:39.430 --> 0:17:41.800
<v S2>happy where I am, and I'm not happy with this

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:46.300
<v S2>lifestyle that's being pushed on to me. What am I missing?

0:17:46.330 --> 0:17:49.000
<v S2>What do I love? And when we started traveling, we

0:17:49.030 --> 0:17:51.189
<v S2>went to the Caribbean. And I'll never forget this. I

0:17:51.190 --> 0:17:56.440
<v S2>was in Cuba when the family trip with family and friends,

0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.020
<v S2>and I said to me, I like the energy of

0:17:59.020 --> 0:18:04.720
<v S2>this place. I like this Caribbean vibe, but I still

0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:09.520
<v S2>want the amenities of a New York Toronto energy. Worst

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.730
<v S2>place on earth has this? I spun the globe in

0:18:12.730 --> 0:18:15.820
<v S2>my head and I'm. And I'm like 16 years old

0:18:15.820 --> 0:18:18.670
<v S2>and there's no internet. There's no none of these beautiful things.

0:18:18.670 --> 0:18:20.830
<v S2>You have to you can't Google or talk to Siri.

0:18:20.859 --> 0:18:23.500
<v S2>So I spun the globe in my head and I

0:18:23.530 --> 0:18:28.239
<v S2>landed on Florida and I decided, um, that I'm going

0:18:28.270 --> 0:18:32.830
<v S2>to move to Florida at 16, 16, 17, something like that. Okay.

0:18:32.859 --> 0:18:35.680
<v S2>I just it resonated with me. I'm like, it has

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.710
<v S2>nice weather and I'm going to move to Miami. I've

0:18:38.710 --> 0:18:42.880
<v S2>never been to Miami. I didn't know a soul in Miami.

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:48.400
<v S2>I just it just came to me. Miami. I'm moving here.

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.790
<v S2>And I used to walk around telling everybody that would listen.

0:18:51.820 --> 0:18:55.810
<v S2>I'm moving to Miami. One day I'm moving to Miami. And, um,

0:18:56.050 --> 0:18:59.170
<v S2>I would get cast on a big TV show, um,

0:18:59.619 --> 0:19:03.130
<v S2>a year later called Electric Circus on Much Music, which

0:19:03.130 --> 0:19:06.820
<v S2>is the Canadian MTV. And I used to go salsa

0:19:06.820 --> 0:19:10.150
<v S2>dancing every Sunday. I'm going to condense a long story

0:19:10.150 --> 0:19:14.080
<v S2>into a short story. Um, long story short, we were

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:20.290
<v S2>salsa dancing. Janet Jackson, Janet Jackson's manager, sees me dancing,

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:24.129
<v S2>approaches my girlfriend, invites her to the. Invites us to

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:28.060
<v S2>the Janet Jackson show. My girlfriend, who was no real friend.

0:19:28.090 --> 0:19:30.609
<v S2>Turns out that she takes the tickets, doesn't tell me

0:19:30.609 --> 0:19:33.180
<v S2>about it. Tries to invite anybody and everybody but me

0:19:33.180 --> 0:19:37.260
<v S2>to the show, but she gets canceled by everybody. And

0:19:37.290 --> 0:19:39.600
<v S2>on the day of the show, these tickets that were

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.389
<v S2>intended for me, that I never knew that were even

0:19:42.390 --> 0:19:46.409
<v S2>in existence. You know, jealousy between girls and all that

0:19:46.410 --> 0:19:50.369
<v S2>silly stuff. She invites me out of desperation because nobody

0:19:50.369 --> 0:19:52.500
<v S2>was going to go with her. And it happened to

0:19:52.500 --> 0:19:55.050
<v S2>be a very high holiday in a Jewish religion. Sorry, mom,

0:19:55.050 --> 0:19:58.649
<v S2>you're probably just discovering this now. Yom Kippur. I was

0:19:58.650 --> 0:20:01.050
<v S2>supposed to be fasting, going to synagogue, but it was

0:20:01.050 --> 0:20:03.840
<v S2>a very bad Jew. I decided to sneak out of

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:07.260
<v S2>the house. Something in me said like, go to this concert.

0:20:07.260 --> 0:20:10.020
<v S2>I don't get invited to cool stuff in Toronto back then.

0:20:10.020 --> 0:20:13.379
<v S2>And we had backstage passes. I never got invited to

0:20:13.410 --> 0:20:16.859
<v S2>a backstage before. So I'm like, I'm going. So I

0:20:16.859 --> 0:20:21.959
<v S2>took a bus, a subway, I walked. I snuck out

0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:24.000
<v S2>of the house. I got to the I got to

0:20:24.030 --> 0:20:27.630
<v S2>the concert. We got there a bit late. Um, saw

0:20:27.630 --> 0:20:32.939
<v S2>the concert, had fantastic seats And, um, this is many

0:20:32.940 --> 0:20:36.659
<v S2>years ago, so I just remember that the concert finishes,

0:20:36.660 --> 0:20:39.270
<v S2>the stadium is starting to empty out. I go to

0:20:39.300 --> 0:20:41.189
<v S2>the front of the stage with my little sticker that

0:20:41.190 --> 0:20:44.040
<v S2>says backstage stuck on me proudly, and they go to

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.229
<v S2>the security and I go, hi. I got backstage for

0:20:46.230 --> 0:20:49.320
<v S2>Janet Jackson. Security goes, oh no, you missed that. That

0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:52.320
<v S2>was before the concert. Janet is packing up. She's going

0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:57.180
<v S2>to Montreal. Concert's over. Go home, little girl. And when

0:20:57.180 --> 0:21:00.600
<v S2>I want something, nothing gets in my way. And I'm like, no, no, no,

0:21:00.630 --> 0:21:05.129
<v S2>I got backstage. See, the sticker says backstage. You're in

0:21:05.130 --> 0:21:10.379
<v S2>my way. Move, bitch out. I'm going there. Yeah. He's like, no.

0:21:10.380 --> 0:21:13.619
<v S2>And he's like three times my size. And he's like, no.

0:21:13.650 --> 0:21:17.129
<v S2>And I'm like, but my ticket says backstage, do you

0:21:17.130 --> 0:21:20.100
<v S2>have a manager? Do you have someone who can talk

0:21:20.100 --> 0:21:23.490
<v S2>to you? Um, and this goes back and forth for

0:21:23.490 --> 0:21:27.600
<v S2>some time because all I know is my girlfriend disappeared. Um,

0:21:28.380 --> 0:21:33.480
<v S2>The stadium is empty. 50,000 people are gone. And I'm still, like,

0:21:33.990 --> 0:21:37.170
<v S2>pointing at the sticker, going like I'm going backstage and

0:21:37.170 --> 0:21:39.720
<v S2>this guy shows up out of the blue like I've

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:43.649
<v S2>never met. And he goes, hi, what's going on here?

0:21:43.650 --> 0:21:46.560
<v S2>And I'm like, hi. I've got backstage passes. And he

0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.140
<v S2>looks at me and he goes, were you at this

0:21:49.140 --> 0:21:55.560
<v S2>nightclub dancing salsa three weeks ago? I go, you're creepy,

0:21:55.590 --> 0:21:59.970
<v S2>but yes. Um. Why? He goes, you were wearing this

0:21:59.970 --> 0:22:04.560
<v S2>Tommy Hilfiger outfit. I'm like, extra creepy. But yes, that

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:07.619
<v S2>was me. Does that mean I get to work backstage?

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:12.420
<v S2>He goes, I'm jacked. And I'm like, great. Who cares?

0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:16.230
<v S2>And he's like, I gave you the tickets. I'm like,

0:22:16.260 --> 0:22:18.510
<v S2>you didn't give me any tickets. My friend gave me

0:22:18.540 --> 0:22:21.690
<v S2>tickets and she just told me about it today. He goes, no, no, no,

0:22:21.690 --> 0:22:24.330
<v S2>those tickets were yours. I was too shy to talk

0:22:24.330 --> 0:22:26.340
<v S2>to you. So when you went to the bathroom, I

0:22:26.340 --> 0:22:29.010
<v S2>went to your friend and said, I'd love to invite

0:22:29.369 --> 0:22:32.760
<v S2>you and her to the show, and I gave her

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:37.050
<v S2>the tickets, hoping that I'd meet you backstage and you

0:22:37.050 --> 0:22:40.139
<v S2>didn't show up backstage. And I said, well, I just

0:22:40.140 --> 0:22:45.929
<v S2>was invited a few hours ago. Um, but if you

0:22:45.930 --> 0:22:49.919
<v S2>wanted to invite me. Here I am backstage, and he's like,

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:52.889
<v S2>he lifts the rope and he goes, let's go backstage.

0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:56.640
<v S2>And we go straight to Janet Jackson's bus. And I

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:58.139
<v S2>get on the bus and I sit with him and

0:22:58.140 --> 0:23:00.420
<v S2>I go, by the way, you have an accent. Where

0:23:00.420 --> 0:23:03.810
<v S2>are you from? And he goes, Florida. I go, that's funny,

0:23:03.810 --> 0:23:07.020
<v S2>I'm going to move to Miami. And Janet Jackson turns around.

0:23:07.050 --> 0:23:10.350
<v S2>She goes, I've got this apartment HBO rented for me

0:23:10.350 --> 0:23:13.410
<v S2>in Miami for the Velvet Rope tour, and I use it.

0:23:13.410 --> 0:23:16.590
<v S2>You can go stay there. No. Two weeks later, I

0:23:16.590 --> 0:23:20.220
<v S2>was in Janet's apartment, and I never left Miami. And

0:23:20.220 --> 0:23:22.679
<v S2>now I've got my green card, and here I am.

0:23:22.710 --> 0:23:25.560
<v S2>I've lived all around the world since then, but that's

0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:28.260
<v S2>what I mean with setting attention. And guys, there was

0:23:28.260 --> 0:23:31.440
<v S2>no internet, there was no Instagram, there was no Facebook,

0:23:31.470 --> 0:23:35.129
<v S2>there was no internet, there was no cell phones. Do

0:23:35.130 --> 0:23:37.800
<v S2>you make it happen? It's manifestation by the power of

0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:40.260
<v S2>putting it out there. But it's not just putting it

0:23:40.260 --> 0:23:43.889
<v S2>out there, praying in your church and then thinking it's

0:23:43.890 --> 0:23:48.240
<v S2>going to drop on your lap. It's everything I told everybody,

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:51.119
<v S2>and one day I told the right person and that

0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:54.629
<v S2>person opened that door. And till today, him and I

0:23:54.630 --> 0:23:57.510
<v S2>are friends. In fact, he was doing the pink concert

0:23:57.510 --> 0:23:59.429
<v S2>the other day, so he sent me tickets to that.

0:23:59.460 --> 0:24:03.300
<v S2>He still takes my parents to concerts. My mom especially

0:24:03.300 --> 0:24:05.970
<v S2>like loves it when he's in town. She goes because

0:24:05.970 --> 0:24:08.850
<v S2>he's with Live Nation. And the moral of that story

0:24:08.850 --> 0:24:12.450
<v S2>is there's always a door in front of you, but

0:24:12.450 --> 0:24:15.900
<v S2>you're responsible to identify it, to push it open and

0:24:15.900 --> 0:24:20.100
<v S2>to step through it. Life will give you those opportunities,

0:24:20.100 --> 0:24:24.570
<v S2>but you have to take take them and turn them

0:24:24.570 --> 0:24:29.160
<v S2>into your favor. It's amazing. And then along the way,

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:32.879
<v S2>I've continuously looked for what is the next thing I

0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:35.610
<v S2>want to build and where is that next door?

0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:38.460
<v S1>How do you not feel silly in the process, when

0:24:38.460 --> 0:24:42.119
<v S1>you're identifying at 16 years old that you want to

0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:45.090
<v S1>move to Florida? Nobody you know lives in Florida, or

0:24:45.090 --> 0:24:49.230
<v S1>you're identifying that you want to start posting content online.

0:24:49.230 --> 0:24:52.109
<v S1>And it's like before you become known for that thing

0:24:52.109 --> 0:24:55.860
<v S1>and before it happens, where you have maybe the imposter syndrome,

0:24:55.859 --> 0:24:59.159
<v S1>the doubt that you feel, the uncertainty. What what is

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:04.169
<v S1>your process for, like working through your own, maybe limiting

0:25:04.170 --> 0:25:06.930
<v S1>beliefs or what people know you as and getting past

0:25:06.930 --> 0:25:07.800
<v S1>all of that?

0:25:07.980 --> 0:25:13.260
<v S2>Those only exist if you empower the voice that's not

0:25:13.260 --> 0:25:17.159
<v S2>the one that's yours. Those exist because you want to

0:25:17.190 --> 0:25:21.720
<v S2>cater to someone else's opinion. You want to please someone else.

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:25.830
<v S2>You care if I turned my likes off on Instagram?

0:25:25.830 --> 0:25:29.190
<v S2>Because I don't care if you like it or not.

0:25:29.220 --> 0:25:32.550
<v S2>That's your choice. I'm putting out my content. If you

0:25:32.550 --> 0:25:35.040
<v S2>enjoy it, by all means enjoy it. If you want

0:25:35.070 --> 0:25:38.910
<v S2>to comment, go ahead. But it's not why I do

0:25:38.910 --> 0:25:41.040
<v S2>it and I'm not going to look. I don't look

0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:43.919
<v S2>for myself. And it's. And I don't need to show

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:46.290
<v S2>the world if it worked or if it didn't. If

0:25:46.290 --> 0:25:49.830
<v S2>it went viral, it didn't. I don't care because I'm

0:25:49.830 --> 0:25:52.710
<v S2>just doing it for me. I like it. I think

0:25:52.710 --> 0:25:55.770
<v S2>the brand I'm working with might like it. Here it is.

0:25:56.220 --> 0:25:59.189
<v S2>Once I post it, I'm done with it. And the

0:25:59.190 --> 0:26:04.440
<v S2>point is, those feelings only come if you're giving somebody

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:07.590
<v S2>that's not you the power to tell you that you

0:26:07.590 --> 0:26:11.310
<v S2>did good or not, that that post is important or not.

0:26:11.310 --> 0:26:15.389
<v S2>That what you did is validated or not. If you

0:26:15.420 --> 0:26:19.020
<v S2>validate yourself and I don't mean the cuckoo stuff, okay.

0:26:19.050 --> 0:26:22.500
<v S2>If you're barking and you want to validate yourself as

0:26:22.500 --> 0:26:27.540
<v S2>an animal. Get help because that. I'm sorry. I'm not

0:26:27.540 --> 0:26:29.940
<v S2>validating that. If you come to me and you want

0:26:29.940 --> 0:26:33.300
<v S2>me to call you a pizza, I'm putting hot sauce

0:26:33.300 --> 0:26:35.550
<v S2>on you and I'm gonna bite you so damn hard.

0:26:35.550 --> 0:26:38.010
<v S2>You're going to regret that. So don't come to me

0:26:38.010 --> 0:26:40.320
<v S2>for the crazy, because I don't do good with it.

0:26:40.350 --> 0:26:43.260
<v S2>I'm not built for that. I'm extremely rational. One plus

0:26:43.290 --> 0:26:45.810
<v S2>one is two. And it always has been. It always

0:26:45.810 --> 0:26:48.810
<v S2>will be. And if you want to debate me on

0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:51.660
<v S2>that and you can't prove it with science. I come

0:26:51.660 --> 0:26:56.310
<v S2>from scientific background. My dad's a scientist. I'm the wrong audience.

0:26:56.310 --> 0:27:01.230
<v S2>So pick your battles, pick your audience, pick your tribe.

0:27:01.230 --> 0:27:04.230
<v S2>And the great thing with me is I don't need

0:27:04.230 --> 0:27:06.869
<v S2>everyone to agree with me. I don't need everyone to

0:27:06.900 --> 0:27:10.230
<v S2>validate me. And I think that we're breeding weakness by

0:27:10.230 --> 0:27:14.160
<v S2>telling others that they need to be affirmed. Hello. If

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:17.820
<v S2>you affirm yourself and you're not stabbing someone to death

0:27:17.820 --> 0:27:22.260
<v S2>in a back alley. Then you're good. As long as

0:27:22.260 --> 0:27:26.909
<v S2>you're within morality and rationality and the law to what you,

0:27:26.940 --> 0:27:31.230
<v S2>to you. And then build the tribe around that, that

0:27:31.230 --> 0:27:35.160
<v S2>supports and elevates and also keeps you in check. You

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.260
<v S2>need to be kept in check. You need to be

0:27:37.260 --> 0:27:41.969
<v S2>told when you're when you're in the wrong direction because

0:27:42.270 --> 0:27:44.520
<v S2>you're not always going to be right. And that's where

0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:48.119
<v S2>your community comes in to say, this is better. This

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:50.940
<v S2>will work better for you. This is a different route

0:27:50.940 --> 0:27:53.129
<v S2>than you thought, but actually you'll get to where you

0:27:53.130 --> 0:27:56.250
<v S2>need to go faster. And that's why you should always

0:27:56.250 --> 0:27:59.850
<v S2>start with your voice. But then build your board members.

0:27:59.850 --> 0:28:03.359
<v S2>And your board members are your friends, your family. But

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:06.480
<v S2>even the best companies, right? Like Ten-x, you have a board,

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:10.890
<v S2>you have a team. You have a network that's keeping

0:28:10.890 --> 0:28:14.520
<v S2>the the the company alive. It's just not one person.

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:19.020
<v S2>That's why when you say unapproachable, you have to be approachable,

0:28:19.050 --> 0:28:22.470
<v S2>but it's to the right person. Am I sitting in

0:28:22.470 --> 0:28:26.790
<v S2>an Uber and talking with the Uber driver? Happily? Sometimes, yes, sometimes.

0:28:26.790 --> 0:28:30.060
<v S2>I'm on my phone. Right. You got to pick who

0:28:30.090 --> 0:28:33.960
<v S2>you exchange your energy with. You got to pick whose

0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:37.320
<v S2>advice you want to take. You want to pick who

0:28:37.350 --> 0:28:39.180
<v S2>that person is that you call at 4:00 in the

0:28:39.180 --> 0:28:41.610
<v S2>morning if you have an emergency. And who is the

0:28:41.610 --> 0:28:43.590
<v S2>friend that you call for? Which picture should be the

0:28:43.590 --> 0:28:47.670
<v S2>cover on my post? There's different, different categories for everyone,

0:28:47.670 --> 0:28:50.280
<v S2>and there's a space for all sorts of kind of friends.

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:52.530
<v S2>You don't need one person that wears all the hats.

0:28:52.530 --> 0:28:57.570
<v S2>You build your board, and that's how I look at it. Yeah,

0:28:57.600 --> 0:28:57.959
<v S2>and they all.

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:00.209
<v S1>Have different roles, and you put them in different roles,

0:29:00.210 --> 0:29:02.580
<v S1>and you get to make those decisions of who gets

0:29:02.580 --> 0:29:05.070
<v S1>to stay and who gets fired and who you're bringing

0:29:05.070 --> 0:29:06.180
<v S1>on and onboarding.

0:29:06.210 --> 0:29:08.820
<v S2>Exactly. 8 billion people in the world. If somebody doesn't

0:29:08.820 --> 0:29:12.510
<v S2>serve you. See you later. Yeah. I'm so with you.

0:29:12.540 --> 0:29:15.930
<v S1>It's good. So before this show started, we were talking

0:29:15.930 --> 0:29:18.810
<v S1>about the billionaire lifestyle and I would love to have

0:29:18.810 --> 0:29:21.810
<v S1>you share. The podcast is called Building Billions. I am

0:29:21.810 --> 0:29:25.980
<v S1>a huge proponent of all people stating how much net

0:29:25.980 --> 0:29:30.060
<v S1>worth they want, what financial targets drive them, and making

0:29:30.060 --> 0:29:32.910
<v S1>these conversations more accessible because a lot of people aren't

0:29:32.940 --> 0:29:35.940
<v S1>talking about that. And so walk me through what you

0:29:35.970 --> 0:29:38.370
<v S1>were sharing a little bit earlier about this idea of

0:29:38.370 --> 0:29:42.150
<v S1>building your life as a lifestyle that pays for the

0:29:42.150 --> 0:29:45.960
<v S1>things that you want and that you believe you should have.

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:50.460
<v S2>I decided that not only do I want to build

0:29:50.490 --> 0:29:55.770
<v S2>a billionaire lifestyle with the Bank of Gulen, so fueling

0:29:55.770 --> 0:29:58.830
<v S2>it for myself and never being with the handouts and

0:29:58.830 --> 0:30:01.590
<v S2>give me I want to build. I want to add value.

0:30:01.590 --> 0:30:03.480
<v S2>I want to lead with value and then meet people.

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:07.440
<v S2>I think, how can I add value? Look, we did

0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:10.620
<v S2>a project with you guys, with our creators home and

0:30:10.620 --> 0:30:15.840
<v S2>with Ten-x and Gary Brecher and Ten-x Health, and, Um, I'll.

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:17.970
<v S2>I'll use this as an example. You guys sponsored a

0:30:17.970 --> 0:30:22.500
<v S2>weekend in a 30 day creator's home. So when you

0:30:22.500 --> 0:30:24.780
<v S2>guys came on, is that right? Like, how do I

0:30:24.780 --> 0:30:28.590
<v S2>add more value? So I took that two day sponsorship

0:30:28.590 --> 0:30:32.820
<v S2>and added 28 more days that I didn't charge for

0:30:32.850 --> 0:30:36.780
<v S2>you when I when we went together. We elevate, you

0:30:36.780 --> 0:30:40.470
<v S2>grow and I grow and we lift each other. So

0:30:40.860 --> 0:30:43.770
<v S2>first of all, your network, as you guys love to say,

0:30:43.770 --> 0:30:46.740
<v S2>is your net worth. Surround yourself with people that are

0:30:46.740 --> 0:30:48.990
<v S2>living the life you want to live and can open

0:30:48.990 --> 0:30:51.330
<v S2>you the doors that take you to the next level.

0:30:51.330 --> 0:30:56.520
<v S2>Number one. So networking is incredibly important. Be mindful of

0:30:56.550 --> 0:31:00.060
<v S2>who you keep around you because your time is limited.

0:31:00.060 --> 0:31:05.130
<v S2>So having people that expand your mind, body, soul, creativity,

0:31:05.160 --> 0:31:09.450
<v S2>your passions, your health and your wealth is important. Be

0:31:09.450 --> 0:31:13.740
<v S2>strategic in who you spend your time with. Secondly, I

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.380
<v S2>thought about. I like to cut the line. So while

0:31:16.380 --> 0:31:20.610
<v S2>I worked getting to being a billionaire, I'm going to

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:23.640
<v S2>find a way to live the lifestyle, but not only

0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:26.850
<v S2>get to live it, get paid to live it. Because

0:31:26.850 --> 0:31:30.180
<v S2>what's better than being a billionaire? Is someone paying you

0:31:30.180 --> 0:31:32.130
<v S2>to sit on the jet. Someone paying you to sit

0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:34.530
<v S2>on the yacht. Someone paying you to stay in a

0:31:34.530 --> 0:31:38.130
<v S2>five star hotel. Someone paying you to wear beautiful diamonds.

0:31:38.130 --> 0:31:41.910
<v S2>Or a beautiful dress or beautiful makeup. And that is

0:31:41.910 --> 0:31:46.140
<v S2>the power. The power is not being on a jet

0:31:46.170 --> 0:31:47.790
<v S2>or a yacht, because that's up to you if that's

0:31:47.790 --> 0:31:51.510
<v S2>your goal. But if you do what you love to do,

0:31:51.540 --> 0:31:53.790
<v S2>you'll never work a day in your life. And if

0:31:53.790 --> 0:31:57.660
<v S2>you find a way to monetize your passions, then you're

0:31:57.660 --> 0:32:02.040
<v S2>already billionaire billionaires. Because now you're getting paid to do

0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:04.530
<v S2>the things you love to do that you would do

0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:07.410
<v S2>with the money you earned if you were doing a

0:32:07.410 --> 0:32:10.020
<v S2>normal job. So if I was working a normal job,

0:32:10.020 --> 0:32:12.540
<v S2>what would I do with my money? I'd go on vacations.

0:32:12.540 --> 0:32:17.310
<v S2>Really nice ones. And now I get paid to go

0:32:17.310 --> 0:32:21.210
<v S2>on nice trips and share those adventures on my social media.

0:32:21.210 --> 0:32:22.950
<v S2>And if I don't get paid to do it, at

0:32:22.980 --> 0:32:25.320
<v S2>least I'm not being charged to do it. Which allows

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:29.790
<v S2>me to continue just living out my passions. And by

0:32:29.790 --> 0:32:34.230
<v S2>sharing it and by storytelling it, I built an audience,

0:32:34.230 --> 0:32:38.760
<v S2>and now I'm a media source to the brands that

0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:43.500
<v S2>want to reach that audience. And those brands are the

0:32:43.530 --> 0:32:46.980
<v S2>goals of the billionaires, because that's where they want to be.

0:32:47.010 --> 0:32:48.570
<v S2>That's who they want to work with. That's where they

0:32:48.570 --> 0:32:52.290
<v S2>want to vacation. That's how they want to travel or

0:32:52.470 --> 0:32:59.520
<v S2>fill in the blank. And so I architect, I designed

0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:02.580
<v S2>the lifestyle that I want to live without having the

0:33:02.580 --> 0:33:06.030
<v S2>means to live it, but by finding a different currency

0:33:06.060 --> 0:33:09.420
<v S2>in my billions is my digital currency. And we all

0:33:09.420 --> 0:33:12.710
<v S2>have that. We all have something to give. You might

0:33:12.710 --> 0:33:16.160
<v S2>be really good at styling. I love your style. I

0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:18.170
<v S2>might call you for fashion. You're like a real life

0:33:18.170 --> 0:33:21.140
<v S2>Barbie to me. You are. So is she. So she's like,

0:33:21.170 --> 0:33:26.120
<v S2>we're we're we're Barbie sisters. And so I might call

0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:29.720
<v S2>you and be like, you've got such great sense of style.

0:33:29.750 --> 0:33:32.060
<v S2>You're so feminine. How can I be a little bit

0:33:32.060 --> 0:33:34.700
<v S2>more feminine? I could be like a bully, like a bulldozer,

0:33:34.730 --> 0:33:39.320
<v S2>you know? So everyone has something to give. Everyone has

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:43.850
<v S2>something that inspires someone else. Everyone has gone through an

0:33:43.850 --> 0:33:48.560
<v S2>up and a down, and in that experience, they learned something.

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:52.400
<v S2>And that knowledge is valuable to someone. Someone's trash is

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:56.480
<v S2>somebody else's gold. So it's not about me and what

0:33:56.480 --> 0:34:00.170
<v S2>I've done or what you have done. It's about acknowledging

0:34:00.170 --> 0:34:04.430
<v S2>in yourself what it is that people come to you for,

0:34:04.460 --> 0:34:07.370
<v S2>and how you could turn that into the business and

0:34:07.370 --> 0:34:09.440
<v S2>what people come to you for. You're good at. If it.

0:34:09.469 --> 0:34:11.450
<v S2>You're good at it. Means you kind of like it.

0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:14.750
<v S2>And if you like it, you're monetizing it. And now

0:34:14.750 --> 0:34:17.300
<v S2>you're getting paid to do what you love to do

0:34:17.330 --> 0:34:21.800
<v S2>that you would anyway do for free. And so your

0:34:21.800 --> 0:34:25.100
<v S2>life is becoming the bank. And if it leads you

0:34:25.100 --> 0:34:28.940
<v S2>to a millionaire or billionaire and that's your definition of success,

0:34:28.940 --> 0:34:33.109
<v S2>then great. But billions is an abundance. And abundance can

0:34:33.110 --> 0:34:36.800
<v S2>be designed and defined in so many ways. You could

0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:44.239
<v S2>be living in a humble tikki in Ubud, Bali, waking

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:46.940
<v S2>up to your monkeys and coconut. But you are a

0:34:46.940 --> 0:34:51.320
<v S2>billionaire because you own your time. You're at peace. You're

0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:59.000
<v S2>surrounded with beautiful nature. You're eating. Organic farm to table

0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:02.270
<v S2>nature's food. And you're not poisoning your body and you

0:35:02.300 --> 0:35:05.839
<v S2>are living an amazing quality of life. Do you have

0:35:05.870 --> 0:35:09.380
<v S2>billions in your bank? No. But do you need it? No.

0:35:09.410 --> 0:35:14.030
<v S2>Also remember, don't desire what you actually don't need. How

0:35:14.030 --> 0:35:17.900
<v S2>many people do I know that have multiple homes? They

0:35:17.900 --> 0:35:23.060
<v S2>haven't been to the second, third, fourth, fifth home in forever.

0:35:23.090 --> 0:35:26.750
<v S2>I had a friend in, um. I'll tell this story.

0:35:26.750 --> 0:35:31.250
<v S2>I won't say the name. A billionaire friend in Mumbai, India.

0:35:31.250 --> 0:35:34.160
<v S2>And I went to his house and he told me, ah,

0:35:34.190 --> 0:35:36.800
<v S2>do you like my pool? I just moved it. We're

0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:38.360
<v S2>in his mansion. I go, what do you mean? You

0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:40.670
<v S2>moved your pool? I go every two years. I move

0:35:40.670 --> 0:35:42.560
<v S2>the pool to a different part of the house. Sometimes

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:44.690
<v S2>I put it on the roof, sometimes in the backyard.

0:35:44.690 --> 0:35:47.270
<v S2>Sometimes we build a new floor for it, sometimes in

0:35:47.270 --> 0:35:49.730
<v S2>the front. I go, what do you do that? He goes,

0:35:49.730 --> 0:35:52.160
<v S2>it's fun. I mean, I'm bored. And then he took

0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:55.190
<v S2>me to a room that had Monets and Picasso's and

0:35:55.190 --> 0:35:57.770
<v S2>all this art, and he had to go look under

0:35:57.770 --> 0:36:02.300
<v S2>his multi-million dollar art. To like this one is to

0:36:02.300 --> 0:36:07.819
<v S2>tell me, Picasso. No. And I'm like. And he's like,

0:36:07.820 --> 0:36:09.799
<v S2>I've been in this room two times. I'm like, well,

0:36:09.800 --> 0:36:13.460
<v S2>why did you buy all this art? Oh it's valuable.

0:36:13.460 --> 0:36:18.470
<v S2>It's it's, you know, it shows that I can. And

0:36:18.469 --> 0:36:22.280
<v S2>I'm like, why would you spend this time and effort

0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:26.870
<v S2>acquiring something to stick it in a room that you

0:36:26.870 --> 0:36:28.760
<v S2>never go to? At least put it in the toilet.

0:36:28.760 --> 0:36:30.259
<v S2>So when you have a poop, you can look at

0:36:30.260 --> 0:36:33.050
<v S2>it and appreciate it. Appreciate it, you know, make the

0:36:33.050 --> 0:36:35.779
<v S2>time go by. I'm just like, I would put it

0:36:35.780 --> 0:36:38.870
<v S2>in my toilet. At least I look at it, you know?

0:36:38.900 --> 0:36:41.900
<v S2>I mean, I hang up art in the toilet. I

0:36:41.900 --> 0:36:43.910
<v S2>think it's a great place. You spend time in there.

0:36:43.940 --> 0:36:48.620
<v S2>It's important people undermine that real estate. It's true. It's

0:36:48.620 --> 0:36:50.330
<v S2>a good time. I'm just saying that's a good tip.

0:36:50.360 --> 0:36:51.260
<v S1>I was actually just using the.

0:36:51.260 --> 0:36:51.980
<v S2>Restroom in our.

0:36:52.010 --> 0:36:55.160
<v S1>Office. It's. There's no there's nothing in it. I'm like.

0:36:55.190 --> 0:36:57.590
<v S2>It's just to give you magazines. But nobody reads magazines.

0:36:57.590 --> 0:37:00.380
<v S2>They're all in their phone getting like, you know, like

0:37:00.380 --> 0:37:03.620
<v S2>what would be a next version of a humpback? I

0:37:03.620 --> 0:37:06.770
<v S2>don't know. Humpback of Notre Dame. Yeah, all of us.

0:37:06.920 --> 0:37:13.970
<v S2>Hump neck. Neck issues for sure. Double chins. Great. And so. Hey. Yeah. Well, reality,

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:19.189
<v S2>the the Instagram versus reality side, right? Totally. All day long.

0:37:19.190 --> 0:37:22.580
<v S2>And just try to type like this. But the point

0:37:22.580 --> 0:37:27.110
<v S2>I'm saying is these people have all the wealth they

0:37:27.110 --> 0:37:32.120
<v S2>can have. I have a friend that's made $700 million

0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:36.350
<v S2>since Sunday till today. Oh, wow. In crypto. He's not

0:37:36.350 --> 0:37:38.750
<v S2>gonna live long enough to spend that. I don't know.

0:37:38.780 --> 0:37:42.830
<v S2>That's in a few days. Yeah. Wow. Well, you know,

0:37:42.860 --> 0:37:45.500
<v S2>what's he gonna do with that? Buy another yacht. He's

0:37:45.500 --> 0:37:50.390
<v S2>got seven. Buy another jet. He's got two. Buy another home. He's.

0:37:50.390 --> 0:37:52.700
<v S2>But he's got one. But only he can only be

0:37:52.700 --> 0:37:57.110
<v S2>in one home. Yeah. So all I'm saying is desire.

0:37:57.110 --> 0:38:01.580
<v S2>What will actually fulfill you and know where the point.

0:38:01.580 --> 0:38:05.569
<v S2>The tipping point is where your desires become your enemy.

0:38:05.600 --> 0:38:09.290
<v S2>Where they start to torture you. Where that self-doubt comes.

0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:13.610
<v S2>Where that. Oh my God, I don't have this. That

0:38:13.610 --> 0:38:15.650
<v S2>means I'm a failure. I can't show it off to

0:38:15.680 --> 0:38:18.500
<v S2>my friends, my Birkin or my watch or my. Who

0:38:18.500 --> 0:38:23.540
<v S2>cares what? Um, so you have to find that balance.

0:38:23.540 --> 0:38:29.360
<v S2>Because billions is your ability to wake up in the morning,

0:38:29.390 --> 0:38:32.930
<v S2>be at peace with yourself, own your day and go

0:38:32.930 --> 0:38:35.450
<v S2>to bed going like I am grateful for x, y,

0:38:35.450 --> 0:38:39.620
<v S2>z because today I did things that I feel grateful for.

0:38:39.620 --> 0:38:44.720
<v S2>And if that's getting you to bed at peace, you're

0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:46.790
<v S2>a billionaire. Yep, you're doing it right.

0:38:46.820 --> 0:38:49.040
<v S1>You know, I think of those people who are making

0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:53.450
<v S1>that amount of money at some point. You can only

0:38:53.450 --> 0:38:56.509
<v S1>buy so many things, right? There's only so many watches

0:38:56.510 --> 0:39:01.219
<v S1>or bags or you name it, jets. Um, but at

0:39:01.219 --> 0:39:05.640
<v S1>some point. I find this with myself. Often I like,

0:39:05.670 --> 0:39:08.700
<v S1>do I really need this? I think everybody at whatever

0:39:08.820 --> 0:39:11.190
<v S1>threshold that they're at can really ask an honest question like,

0:39:11.219 --> 0:39:13.170
<v S1>do I really need this thing? And does it bring

0:39:13.170 --> 0:39:14.940
<v S1>me joy? Or does it add to my life in

0:39:14.940 --> 0:39:18.299
<v S1>some way? Or is the motive behind this to impress somebody,

0:39:18.300 --> 0:39:21.870
<v S1>to have some status symbol to fill some void, to

0:39:21.900 --> 0:39:24.870
<v S1>just have another thing like a dopamine hit? But then

0:39:24.870 --> 0:39:27.210
<v S1>once you like, reach that point when you recognize that

0:39:27.210 --> 0:39:31.290
<v S1>you're making spending decisions based off of things that aren't

0:39:31.290 --> 0:39:34.530
<v S1>important to you, and you kind of get slapped in

0:39:34.530 --> 0:39:39.719
<v S1>the face with causes and people who need you, all

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:42.600
<v S1>of a sudden, the motivation can very easily turn to, well,

0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:46.500
<v S1>I want to make more money, not just to spend

0:39:46.500 --> 0:39:48.690
<v S1>on whatever I want, but to be able to make

0:39:48.690 --> 0:39:50.700
<v S1>an impact. And I know that you have done a

0:39:50.700 --> 0:39:55.110
<v S1>significant amount of philanthropic work. And so how do those

0:39:55.110 --> 0:39:58.140
<v S1>things tie together in the world that you live in,

0:39:58.140 --> 0:40:04.190
<v S1>where there is so much lavish luxury stuff, while also

0:40:04.190 --> 0:40:07.489
<v S1>being able to kind of shield that or redirect that

0:40:07.489 --> 0:40:11.720
<v S1>conversation to giving back, making a difference, creating an impact,

0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:14.180
<v S1>and not using wealth just for the finer things in life,

0:40:14.180 --> 0:40:16.730
<v S1>but also to really change people's lives.

0:40:16.760 --> 0:40:21.770
<v S2>So it takes the same energy to give to others

0:40:21.800 --> 0:40:25.490
<v S2>as it does to yourself simultaneously. I'll give you an example.

0:40:25.489 --> 0:40:29.420
<v S2>When I was launching my fashion line, I had, um,

0:40:29.450 --> 0:40:32.299
<v S2>in London, we were launching a fashion line. It was

0:40:32.300 --> 0:40:36.380
<v S2>me and my designer, incredibly talented designer, but we didn't have.

0:40:36.410 --> 0:40:40.819
<v S2>I was like 22. I didn't know it was 25

0:40:40.820 --> 0:40:44.270
<v S2>and I didn't have investors. I didn't have a lot

0:40:44.300 --> 0:40:46.730
<v S2>of money. I moved to the US with $200 in

0:40:46.730 --> 0:40:51.140
<v S2>my pocket. Wow. I had this is a side story,

0:40:51.170 --> 0:40:54.050
<v S2>a funny story. I had a bank account that I

0:40:54.050 --> 0:40:58.670
<v S2>earned from, like, working side hustles as a teenager and

0:40:58.670 --> 0:41:01.430
<v S2>then when I moved to the US, because remember, there's

0:41:01.430 --> 0:41:04.100
<v S2>no digital world back then I had like 200 bucks

0:41:04.100 --> 0:41:06.770
<v S2>to my name, and then I built everything and I

0:41:06.800 --> 0:41:12.259
<v S2>forgot that I had a $15,000 in a bank, which,

0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:14.870
<v S2>you know, is not life changing. But back then we're

0:41:14.870 --> 0:41:17.180
<v S2>talking about like in the late 90s, it was a

0:41:17.180 --> 0:41:19.580
<v S2>decent amount of money. Yeah. For a 20 something year old,

0:41:19.730 --> 0:41:23.450
<v S2>like 15, $20,000 in a bank from like side hustles,

0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:27.200
<v S2>like selling pizzas on the weekend, working at the shoe store,

0:41:27.230 --> 0:41:30.590
<v S2>being a go go dancer at bar mitzvahs, like, whatever,

0:41:30.770 --> 0:41:33.710
<v S2>you know, did it. And I forgot because my parents

0:41:33.739 --> 0:41:37.489
<v S2>being good Jewish parents like, save your money. So I

0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:39.890
<v S2>saved it so much I forgot it was there. I

0:41:39.890 --> 0:41:43.580
<v S2>moved to US $200. I only acknowledge what was in

0:41:43.580 --> 0:41:45.799
<v S2>front of me, and I acted like as if I

0:41:45.800 --> 0:41:51.350
<v S2>was poor. And that mentality though, that like, that's like

0:41:51.380 --> 0:41:55.220
<v S2>that fear of like, oh my God, that trained me

0:41:55.219 --> 0:41:58.340
<v S2>for everything. Because even though I, my parents have a

0:41:58.370 --> 0:42:01.850
<v S2>beautiful 7000 square foot house in Toronto. We live in

0:42:01.850 --> 0:42:05.540
<v S2>a very affluent neighborhood. We never had to struggle a day.

0:42:05.570 --> 0:42:09.230
<v S2>I literally moved to Miami. I don't know what happened.

0:42:09.260 --> 0:42:12.560
<v S2>I forgot, and I acted like in my mind for

0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:15.470
<v S2>the first year. Like, if I don't make another dollar,

0:42:15.739 --> 0:42:18.680
<v S2>I'm on the street. I'm calling my parents because I've

0:42:18.680 --> 0:42:24.109
<v S2>got too much pride. So I get a letter from

0:42:24.110 --> 0:42:29.180
<v S2>the bank 15 or 20 years later, or I don't

0:42:29.210 --> 0:42:31.460
<v S2>know how many years, like maybe less than, like ten,

0:42:31.460 --> 0:42:34.730
<v S2>15 years later to my parents home, which we still had.

0:42:34.730 --> 0:42:41.450
<v S2>Our family home, thankfully. Is Miss Gulan deceased? No. It's

0:42:41.630 --> 0:42:45.710
<v S2>terrifying because this account has been untouched for at that

0:42:45.710 --> 0:42:49.610
<v S2>point over 20 years just sitting there. So the bank

0:42:49.640 --> 0:42:53.210
<v S2>wants to like, close the account. They're like is don't

0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:57.050
<v S2>Google me. I'm like, hello? Hi. I'm very much here.

0:42:57.080 --> 0:43:01.670
<v S2>Very not deceased. Is she deceased? And I'm like, oh,

0:43:02.060 --> 0:43:06.919
<v S2>I have all this money I made when I was 16, 17, 18,

0:43:06.920 --> 0:43:10.069
<v S2>and I still have that account. I've yet to touch

0:43:10.070 --> 0:43:12.980
<v S2>that account. The bank knows I'm alive. But the moral

0:43:12.980 --> 0:43:16.040
<v S2>of the story is you need a lot less than

0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:20.120
<v S2>you realize, and you think you need a lot less.

0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:24.380
<v S2>Happiness is a construct that you have to allow yourself

0:43:24.380 --> 0:43:27.980
<v S2>to have. The only thing that will give you happiness

0:43:28.010 --> 0:43:32.180
<v S2>is your mindset. Getting it piece with your heart and

0:43:32.180 --> 0:43:36.500
<v S2>your soul and your intentions, and you own that ability.

0:43:36.920 --> 0:43:40.100
<v S2>And then everything else is a hit. Like you said,

0:43:40.100 --> 0:43:43.250
<v S2>you're happy and then your brain is like, okay, what's next?

0:43:43.489 --> 0:43:48.290
<v S2>That said, don't get me wrong, I have a house

0:43:48.290 --> 0:43:52.100
<v S2>in London, six floors stuffed with stuff that I'll never

0:43:52.130 --> 0:43:55.370
<v S2>be able to. I have more shoes than that Imelda

0:43:55.820 --> 0:43:59.180
<v S2>was a crazy shoe collector. I have more shoes than

0:43:59.180 --> 0:44:02.000
<v S2>I have feet will ever wear. I have more gowns

0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:05.180
<v S2>than I have. Days will live and where? I have

0:44:05.210 --> 0:44:09.469
<v S2>too much of everything. Um. And I still want more.

0:44:09.500 --> 0:44:12.500
<v S2>There's nothing wrong with wanting things. There's nothing wrong with motivation.

0:44:12.530 --> 0:44:15.680
<v S2>There's nothing wrong with wanting wealth. I'll tell you something

0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:19.069
<v S2>like rich shaming is a joke. Because if you go

0:44:19.070 --> 0:44:23.150
<v S2>to any person who is struggling, they will take your

0:44:23.150 --> 0:44:25.880
<v S2>spot and they will not apologize and they won't even

0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:29.299
<v S2>look back. So don't for one second think that you

0:44:29.300 --> 0:44:33.560
<v S2>should sit there and feel shame for wanting or achieving

0:44:33.560 --> 0:44:36.470
<v S2>whatever it is you achieve. Because believe me, there's a

0:44:36.469 --> 0:44:38.779
<v S2>billion plus people that will kick you off that seat

0:44:38.780 --> 0:44:42.140
<v S2>and won't even say thank you. So if you're sitting

0:44:42.140 --> 0:44:44.600
<v S2>on your jet. Level up. If you're sitting on your yacht.

0:44:44.630 --> 0:44:47.840
<v S2>Toast to you. And if you're dreaming of it, go

0:44:47.840 --> 0:44:50.750
<v S2>and get it. Because there's so many ways today to

0:44:50.780 --> 0:44:55.670
<v S2>achieve those goals. Social media TikTok. Instagram has made it

0:44:55.670 --> 0:44:59.960
<v S2>so easy for you to get your message to the world,

0:44:59.960 --> 0:45:03.080
<v S2>to build a community, to build a fan base. Brands

0:45:03.080 --> 0:45:05.810
<v S2>don't even look for mega influencers anymore. They're working with

0:45:05.810 --> 0:45:10.400
<v S2>micro and macro and nano, and so there's a spot

0:45:10.400 --> 0:45:15.650
<v S2>for everyone, and there's no excuse for you not to leave.

0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:19.040
<v S2>Live the ultimate lifestyle that you can live. And you

0:45:19.040 --> 0:45:23.629
<v S2>shouldn't apologize for being hungry or motivated. And yes, while

0:45:23.660 --> 0:45:26.690
<v S2>being nice, you also have to be a shark and

0:45:26.690 --> 0:45:29.930
<v S2>know when to say no. And one of my favorite

0:45:29.930 --> 0:45:33.770
<v S2>things to do on Instagram will surprise you. I'm ready.

0:45:33.800 --> 0:45:37.610
<v S1>Block you. Block people all day long. The haters, the

0:45:37.969 --> 0:45:38.870
<v S1>negative people.

0:45:38.900 --> 0:45:41.540
<v S2>Whatever. Okay, you think I want those followers? I get

0:45:41.540 --> 0:45:45.020
<v S2>rid of them before they get rid of themselves, because

0:45:45.260 --> 0:45:49.250
<v S2>this is my community and it's my space. And in

0:45:49.280 --> 0:45:52.840
<v S2>that space I get to decide who gets to interact

0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:55.900
<v S2>because I care about my followers. I read all their messages.

0:45:55.900 --> 0:45:58.960
<v S2>I respond to them as often as I can, and

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:02.350
<v S2>if somebody comes there, that doesn't resonate with me in

0:46:02.350 --> 0:46:04.239
<v S2>that way, I'm not going to have a debate with them.

0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:06.790
<v S2>I'm not your mommy. I'm not here to teach you

0:46:06.790 --> 0:46:10.180
<v S2>or change your mind. If you're sliding into my DM

0:46:10.180 --> 0:46:14.680
<v S2>or into my comment section, or if I somehow see

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:19.210
<v S2>that on your page, you're don't resonate with my values.

0:46:19.210 --> 0:46:22.029
<v S2>You're gone before you know it. Because it's my space,

0:46:22.030 --> 0:46:24.610
<v S2>it's my home, and you're not going to bring anybody

0:46:24.610 --> 0:46:27.850
<v S2>into your home, are you? And even though it's public,

0:46:27.880 --> 0:46:30.580
<v S2>I still have that power to say not you either,

0:46:30.640 --> 0:46:34.300
<v S2>because at the end of the day, your energy is

0:46:34.300 --> 0:46:36.430
<v S2>even affected by the people on the other side of

0:46:36.460 --> 0:46:40.270
<v S2>that digital space. And if somebody is coming into your

0:46:40.270 --> 0:46:44.529
<v S2>space and they are bullying you, harassing you, shaming you,

0:46:44.770 --> 0:46:48.670
<v S2>block them, forget them, move on, replace them. It's fun.

0:46:48.700 --> 0:46:52.330
<v S2>I think it's really fun. My boyfriend is too nice

0:46:52.360 --> 0:46:56.049
<v S2>guy to block. I'm like, he gets harassed sometimes by people.

0:46:56.080 --> 0:46:58.360
<v S2>Or the first time he had a hater, he really

0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:02.350
<v S2>felt bad. And I'm like, just block. It's part of the.

0:47:02.380 --> 0:47:06.520
<v S1>Part of the process. Just I find it really motivating.

0:47:06.550 --> 0:47:10.450
<v S2>And not just in real block in real life too. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

0:47:11.050 --> 0:47:14.980
<v S1>For sure. And in real life. I don't know, there's

0:47:14.980 --> 0:47:18.640
<v S1>something about people who know the right button to push.

0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:20.529
<v S1>There's one thing when it's just, like, really just, like,

0:47:20.530 --> 0:47:24.100
<v S1>nasty and derogatory and, like, truly hateful. And I'm all

0:47:24.100 --> 0:47:27.370
<v S1>about blocking those people. But I can remember so many

0:47:27.370 --> 0:47:31.959
<v S1>times that I've actually screenshotted the direct messages. I one time, like,

0:47:31.989 --> 0:47:35.560
<v S1>received a letter to my house, uh, or just comments

0:47:35.560 --> 0:47:39.310
<v S1>where people point out the things that I might have

0:47:39.310 --> 0:47:42.460
<v S1>been insecure about in my life, or that I've had

0:47:42.460 --> 0:47:46.030
<v S1>doubts or reservations about for myself, about just how people

0:47:46.030 --> 0:47:49.690
<v S1>perceive me. And there is something that is so motivating

0:47:49.719 --> 0:47:53.890
<v S1>to me in seeing that, that I absolutely every single

0:47:53.890 --> 0:47:56.710
<v S1>time I screenshot it. And sometimes I'm even, you know,

0:47:56.739 --> 0:47:59.710
<v S1>playful back where I will engage if you want. I

0:47:59.710 --> 0:48:04.270
<v S1>won't get defensive, but I, you know, I, I find

0:48:04.270 --> 0:48:07.390
<v S1>it helpful and therapeutic for me to be able to

0:48:07.420 --> 0:48:09.610
<v S1>have my little quippy response back.

0:48:09.640 --> 0:48:13.360
<v S2>Oh yeah. No. Yeah, I totally. Sometimes I get into

0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:16.779
<v S2>it too. Um, usually it's not. Usually I get into

0:48:16.780 --> 0:48:19.989
<v S2>it on other posts or pop up on my feed.

0:48:20.260 --> 0:48:23.140
<v S2>Issues that I care about that are really not part

0:48:23.140 --> 0:48:25.540
<v S2>of what I'm sharing, and I get into it there.

0:48:25.540 --> 0:48:27.970
<v S2>It's funny, I got in trouble a few times, but

0:48:27.969 --> 0:48:30.910
<v S2>I don't care. I'll own it. Um, because I'm not

0:48:30.940 --> 0:48:34.570
<v S2>a I'm not just gonna agree with everything I see,

0:48:34.570 --> 0:48:37.930
<v S2>but what I say to to what you said before,

0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:41.230
<v S2>and I'll say that to anyone that has some kind

0:48:41.230 --> 0:48:43.600
<v S2>of a voice or is getting some kind of feedback.

0:48:44.050 --> 0:48:49.510
<v S2>If you're getting feedback that's negative, Look at yourself as

0:48:49.510 --> 0:48:54.460
<v S2>a power station and look at that feedback as energy.

0:48:54.700 --> 0:48:59.140
<v S2>And you are milling the energy and you're converting it

0:48:59.140 --> 0:49:03.430
<v S2>into power. You have the ability to take all the

0:49:03.430 --> 0:49:07.180
<v S2>hate that the world can throw at you and turn

0:49:07.180 --> 0:49:10.720
<v S2>it into your superpower, turn it into your what fuels

0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:14.590
<v S2>your batteries? And you could laugh at all those that

0:49:14.590 --> 0:49:17.650
<v S2>want to bring you down. As you go up, wave

0:49:17.650 --> 0:49:21.040
<v S2>at them as you go up because they are victims

0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:25.569
<v S2>of their hate. They are disabled by that hate. They

0:49:25.600 --> 0:49:29.410
<v S2>are paralyzed. They are sitting in their grandma's basement in

0:49:29.410 --> 0:49:34.600
<v S2>the dark, thinking and putting their energy into you while

0:49:34.600 --> 0:49:36.879
<v S2>you don't even know they exist. And what? You might

0:49:36.910 --> 0:49:41.200
<v S2>have acknowledged that comment for a millisecond and engage it

0:49:41.200 --> 0:49:45.040
<v S2>for another millisecond. You move on with your incredible life

0:49:45.040 --> 0:49:48.100
<v S2>and they stay in their misery. So always be the

0:49:48.100 --> 0:49:51.520
<v S2>person that takes the shit that the world wants to

0:49:51.520 --> 0:49:54.280
<v S2>throw at you and turn that into gold.

0:49:54.370 --> 0:49:58.180
<v S1>Amazing, I love it. Well, you are spectacular. Thank you

0:49:58.180 --> 0:50:03.640
<v S1>for being on this show. Please check her social media out.

0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:06.310
<v S1>She is fantastic. And where can people find you online?

0:50:06.310 --> 0:50:08.950
<v S1>What is like the platform of choice for you? Um.

0:50:09.219 --> 0:50:11.589
<v S2>Instagram. Instagram official. Okay.

0:50:11.620 --> 0:50:16.569
<v S1>And if they decide to comment something nasty, she's just

0:50:16.570 --> 0:50:17.200
<v S1>going to actually.

0:50:17.200 --> 0:50:19.569
<v S2>Read the comments. I don't read all the comments all

0:50:19.570 --> 0:50:22.330
<v S2>the time, but look, at the end of the day,

0:50:22.660 --> 0:50:26.440
<v S2>it's I'm not saying that you you have to agree

0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:28.899
<v S2>with me. I'm not looking. But if you come in there,

0:50:28.930 --> 0:50:31.690
<v S2>like I'll give you an example. As we're wrapping up,

0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:36.310
<v S2>anti-Semitism has been like in on an insane rise. You

0:50:36.310 --> 0:50:39.700
<v S2>can go and have your opinions, whatever. If you come

0:50:39.700 --> 0:50:42.580
<v S2>into my page and you're going to go and chanting

0:50:42.610 --> 0:50:46.330
<v S2>against the right of my family to exist. I'm gonna

0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:49.390
<v S2>block you. I'm not gonna go and give you energy

0:50:49.390 --> 0:50:51.520
<v S2>and try to say. But why do you think like this?

0:50:51.760 --> 0:50:54.010
<v S2>If your mother didn't educate you, then there's no hope

0:50:54.010 --> 0:50:57.459
<v S2>that I will. So if you're coming for. You're so

0:50:57.460 --> 0:51:00.879
<v S2>wrong on something, I'm going to hit that hate button.

0:51:00.910 --> 0:51:02.350
<v S2>But if you say that you don't like my hair

0:51:02.380 --> 0:51:05.560
<v S2>or my outfit, I don't care. I'm not gonna block

0:51:05.560 --> 0:51:07.810
<v S2>you for that for sure. I'm saying there's there's a

0:51:07.810 --> 0:51:12.880
<v S2>line that people cross. I just remove them for everything else.

0:51:13.840 --> 0:51:15.910
<v S2>Who cares? Totally. Don't give it energy.

0:51:15.940 --> 0:51:18.190
<v S1>Yep. It's just a second of time. It's a blip

0:51:18.190 --> 0:51:20.410
<v S1>in a lifetime. And you get to go. Keep creating

0:51:20.410 --> 0:51:21.160
<v S1>your life.

<v S2>Use your time to be your power to build your billions.

0:51:27.700 --> 0:51:30.790
<v S1>With that, thank you for being on building billions. Can't

0:51:30.790 --> 0:51:32.440
