WEBVTT - Mark Moss and Ryan Daniel Moran talk Bitcoin and more

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Ran, Daniel Moran, thanks so much for joining me today. UM.

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>This is a very long overdue UM interview. I'm excited

0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:11.120
<v Speaker 1>for this conversation. I've been a big fan of yours

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:12.840
<v Speaker 1>for a long time and I've been watching my stuff,

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>so I love it when it comes together like that.

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>A couple of things that I want to talk about

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>just for the audience. Uh one. Uh. You have been

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 1>on a mission helping people create businesses and create like

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>financial freedom for themselves, branding and stuff like that, and

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk to you about that because I

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>see this massive opportunity of the market that I want

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to kind of move into and I want to talk

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 1>about that. And then I know you want to talk about,

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, some of the bigger things in the world,

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>that comic form and the direction that the world is

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>going and things like that. Yeah, of course we're gonna

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna talk about that. So so let's start there.

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>And the reason why I want to start there is because, um,

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:48.639
<v Speaker 1>I think when it comes to business and branding and

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, how do I take care of my own

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>personal finances, I have to navigate the bigger piece of

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>what's going on in the world and the reason why

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I say that is my story was I started buying

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>bank on repos in the from the banks, fixing and

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>flipping homes made a bunch of money. I started a

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>couple of different businesses. Um, he's selling e commerce. Uh

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>In In two thousand one, doing e commerce was not easy. Um.

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I started a medical equipment business, fortunate Exits. UM. But

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I sold everything and I was all in on real

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>estate in southern California. And in two thousand and eight,

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>when the great financial crash happened, it didn't work out

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>very well for me. Uh, let's just say it actually

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>hurt worked out very bad. And and the reason why

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to start that story is because there was

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>external forces like this global financial system that I wasn't

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>paying attention to that affected what I was doing in

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>my micro view of my businesses. And so UM, I

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>now trying to learn from my mistakes. I try to

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>keep a picture on the whole geopolitical picture, so then

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I can navigate within that perfect sense it made, that

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>makes perfect sense, I think. I think that's the healthy balance,

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>that is the appropriate balance to strike. Whereas a lot

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>of our peers are absolutely obsessed with the macro story

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and I happened to think that they're very, very long.

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>There's a very pessimistic view of the macro story, and

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the wrong view. Whereas, if you're going

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to be an entrepreneur, if you're going to be a

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>successful business owner, you have to keep the optimistic view

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>you have. The macro story is always optimistic. There's more

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 1>abundance today than there was twenty years ago, and that

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 1>is that is there's an alignment with the entire story

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.399
<v Speaker 1>of capitalism. Ever since the seventeen hundreds, when capitalism took

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>over in what are now First world countries, we have

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>a consistent trend of growth, of solving problems, of more abundance,

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and that hasn't changed. And so where I see a

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of our peers getting it wrong is that they

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>have a very pessimistic view on the overall climate and

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the overall opportunity, Whereas I think we have more opportunity

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 1>than ever. Okay, so there's there's a lot to unpack there,

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:49.959
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of this is gonna be speculation, But

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.119
<v Speaker 1>here's here's where I would I would go. So, first

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>of all, yeah, you cannot be an entrepreneur without being optimistic, absolutely,

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and I know you work with a lot of would

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>be aspiring entrepreneurs and I have the family. I talked

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to you about ideas, and a lot of times they're like, yeah,

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>but this bad thing is gonna happen, and this bad

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>thing is gonna happen, right, And I'm like, yeah, all

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>that will happen, and I don't care, right, And so

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>if you're not optimistic, you just you can't start a business.

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>So right up to Bab, I would also say, just

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>to kind of set some frame on this is that

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I have said many times and I still believe. I

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 1>am super bullish on what happens when millions of entrepreneurs

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 1>backs are against the wall. No joke, no joke. And

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 1>first of all, and second of all, the only back

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you need to have against the walls you're oup because

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 1>because it's a there's so much abundant, so much that

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>is available to entrepreneurs that if you manage your focus

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and your mindset and your habits, you can't not win.

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>But you're absolutely right that the world changes reeled aren't

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>fast when you've got millions of them against the wall. Yeah. Uh,

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>that's where I would disagree just a little bit. Back

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>to my original story, Like I was focused on myself.

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I ran my business is really well. I was really

0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>good at making money. But there were external forces that

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that that affected me that I didn't see. So that's

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of where I didn't that put your back against

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the wall. Didn't that set back make you put your

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>back against the wall? And the Yeah, I had to

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>die or survive, right, And you want you want big man? Yeah,

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>and I and I and I and I did well.

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:17.359
<v Speaker 1>I did well. You know, I knew how to make money.

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I just had to figure out this new this new environment.

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>But let's let's talk about So let's start with this

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>big picture. So a couple of things. Um One, you know,

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>if we go back to sevent hundreds and and all

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the way forward, and you know, just looking at modern

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>history called the last seventy eight years, you know, obviously

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>there's been financial crashes all the time, the dot com

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 1>boom and the two eight boom and all these things.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>But I would say that typically I would frame that

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>up as saying that, um, yeah, the crash has happened,

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>but the leaders, the powers that be whoever, um have

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>typically wanted things to get better. So things crashed. But hey,

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>let's fix it. Uh, let's make things better and let's

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>keep progressing. And what I'm mostly concerned with in terms

0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>of the world, like I'm mac FORIM and and global

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>ISB and so forth, is I believe we're at a

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>point now in time where the global leaders actually don't

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>want things to improve, they actually want them to get worse.

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>And so let me let me give you a couple

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.799
<v Speaker 1>of points on that. So, for example, the energy crisis

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.919
<v Speaker 1>that we're in globally right, so, um, they do not

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 1>want to manage for human flourishment. They're trying to actually

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>destroy human flourishment. They believe that any impact of the world. Well,

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not I mean, this is all written down.

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not speculation at all. We can go we can

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 1>on the end of a second, I would challenge that,

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 1>but we can go into that deeper. So so we

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>can go into that. So um, it's it's it's all,

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>it's all written down. And so like them trying to

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>shut down farms in uh in uh Holland, or like

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 1>what they did in Sri Lanka, or what they've done

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 1>in Europe right by shutting down their own energy sources,

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and now depending on Russia, all these situations that that

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.919
<v Speaker 1>these are man made situations and so and then and

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 1>then we can talk about you know, the financial system

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and so um. Like at a time when like the

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>buses like heading for a cliff and we can see

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>that there's a master and we would hope the leaders

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>would maybe hit the brakes or turn the wheel. They're not.

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>And so that's the one thing that I try to

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.159
<v Speaker 1>keep in mind. I find a flaw in your logic.

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>May I explain? Yeah? Please? I mean that's what we're

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>here for. So so the way that that I heard

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>you describe that is you told the story and then

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.159
<v Speaker 1>you listed the evidence for that. And when you have

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 1>a story of where you think the world is going

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>or what the agenda is for a group of people,

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.599
<v Speaker 1>you can usually twist facts in order to find that

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>they meet the story. If you loved Trump, you were

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>able to forgive a whole lot of things that conservatives

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>would usually overlook. If you correct, yes, and you can

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>change the story. If you hated Trump, you can twist

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.359
<v Speaker 1>any of his words to sound racist. Put it on

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>a headline listed on CNN dot com, and it goes

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 1>vicrel So we can all find a way to match

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the beliefs that we already have. And I don't have

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 1>the same story as you, so I interpret information a

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 1>little bit differently. I don't have the story that the

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>powers that be want to destroy opportunity. But I we

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>both lived through two thousand seven and two thousand eight.

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Some of us were old enough to live through the

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 1>crash in the early two thousand's, and at that time

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>there was also a similar story. There's a similar story

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 1>that this time the powers that be want there to

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>be a crisis. And you had stories about nine eleven.

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 1>You had stories about the Great Recession and how this

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>benefited a small group of people that had a financial

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>incentive for this to happen. If you believed that overall story,

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 1>that there was a desire for things to go haywire,

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>then you could find confirmation bias in order to support

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 1>that theory. You made the mention that you see, in

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the past, we had leaders who wanted things to get better.

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I mostly agree, and I see that today now. So

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I just think that your original thesis of things tending

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to get better applies to today and that this time

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>is not different. Does that make sense? Yeah, But let's

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>let's put a couple of facts here to to talk

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 1>about instead of the speculation. So for example, um, I've

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>used a chart before. I don't have an handy here,

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.559
<v Speaker 1>but kind of like an ORG chart of the world.

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>And so you have at the top the b i

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>S the Bank of International Settlements, and then you have

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the I m F. And then you kind of have

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the policymakers down below, which would include the World Olcoming Forum.

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 1>And then down below you have the policy enforcers which

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>are like the governments. You have the w HR, all

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>those things, and then you have the governments and of

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the people right say this ORG chart and so we

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>we know this to be true. So we have like

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Mark Karney, arguably the most connected person in the world.

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 1>He worked both at the Bank of England the Bank

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 1>of Canada. He's a special Envoy to the u N

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.719
<v Speaker 1>special advisor to the World Coming Forum, probably arguably the

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>most the most connected person there right is the most

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.839
<v Speaker 1>connected and most evil men in the world. Why which

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I have a fund debating those people, but please go on, well, well,

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.199
<v Speaker 1>certainly he is, and we'll talk about that as well. Um,

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 1>now I don't I don't believe in this like kind

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>of a conspiracy theory world where there's like one small

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.559
<v Speaker 1>group of people that pull all the strings on the

0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>way that I look at it is that, Um, I

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 1>look at it like a flock of birds, um. And

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 1>you see these birds fly in this formation. It wasn't

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>like Hey Larry, you go over there, and hey John,

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 1>you go over there. It's like they just kind of

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.839
<v Speaker 1>birds of a feather flock together, so to speak. Right,

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>And so a lot of these people grew up reading

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the same books, going to the same schools, attending the

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 1>same things. They think alike, and they're all moving independently.

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not I don't think there's just like five

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.559
<v Speaker 1>people in a room that have controlled the world for

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>a hundred years. But anyway back to this point. So

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>so like a Mark Harney, super influential. He wrote a

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>book called Values, and I believe in reading going directly

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>to the source so there's not speculation, and read exactly

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 1>what he said. And uh. In that book he says that, look,

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the world is not going to be better. The world

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 1>won't be better, the world will be worse. Um, in

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the future, you won't be driving, you won't be flying,

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>you won't be eating meat. He said that any company,

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>any any businesses that don't go along with e st

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 1>mandates will be quote economic road kill, So there will

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>be no funding that will go to that, and we're

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.560
<v Speaker 1>going to push that agenda. So that's what he said.

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 1>The world won't be better, it will be worse the world.

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>You won't be traveling, you won't be driving, you won't

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>be flying. So this is in are from from the

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 1>guy who's arguably one of the most influential people in

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the world, wrote it in his book. That's his plan.

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>That's his plan. Now we can go to Klaus Schwab

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>who's also let's let's let's let's impact this a little

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>bit sure, because when you say that's his plan, what

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.439
<v Speaker 1>do you mean, Well, this is what he's written, This

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>is his vision for the world, and this is visions.

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Are these predictions, because that's a very important distinction. Well, Uh,

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>as as an entrepreneur, you would know that we create

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>our future, right, so we set a goal and we

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 1>work towards becoming that becoming a reality. Now there's is

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>not the same as no, it's not it's not a prediction.

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a goal and it starts with uh, it started

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it starts with actually was in the seven in the

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 1>in the seventies from the u N, which was what

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 1>was called Sustainable Development Goals SDGs UM that have now

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>been transformed in UM now Klaus Schwab has has has

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of changed them to the seventeen goals now which

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the SDGs are now E s G. So it's kind

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 1>of changed a little bit. But these are goals that

0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>have been written in stone from the u N, from

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, for the last thirty forty years. So your

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 1>your statement was about was about Mark wasn't market was

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:11.199
<v Speaker 1>about his goals specifically. So we have a very strong

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>distinction that I unfortunately can't speak about this person specifically

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>because I'm not familiar with this person. But there is

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>a distinction between having a goal of not driving, of

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 1>not flying, of not eating meat, and a prediction of that.

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>But I would say that if those are his goals,

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 1>he's failing miserably because E s G has been a

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 1>massive failure. You now have funds that are anti E

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>s G. They will not invest in companies that fall along.

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>That's our that's our opportunity, and I want to I'm

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna definitely talk about that. I believe as entrepreneurs we

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.679
<v Speaker 1>can sway the outcome and that's where I have hope. Um, So,

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>what we have to understand any capitalism and markets always

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>self correct. So if you do, if you did have

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>E s G that you found to be exploitive, then

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.440
<v Speaker 1>now there's funds that are going in that direction. In

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 1>E s V investment. E SG investments have been mostly negative,

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:06.199
<v Speaker 1>they've been mostly failures, even if there is an agenda

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to push that, they're they're failing, miserable. Yeah, so I

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>so I agree with those points that it's failing. I

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>believe it will fell because I have hope and I

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.440
<v Speaker 1>believe it's I believe it's capitalism and entrepreneurs that will

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>be the ones to change always. So I agree with you.

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>But what but what I want to highlight is that

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>there is a real force going in this direction. I

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 1>believe because I'm optimistic that we will overcome and push

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>back and win. But we still have to understand in

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>a debate, you have to understand both sides, and so

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>we have do have to understand there are people who

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 1>are very powerful and connected to have an agenda to

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 1>push us in this direction. You meant you mentioned Mark

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 1>and if I'm not familiar with, so I can't I

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 1>can't discuss what he standing but a couple. But part

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:44.959
<v Speaker 1>of the part of the thing is if you don't

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>know who he is, then that's a big blind spot

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 1>because like I said, he's arguably one of the most

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>powerful people in the world. I can get I would

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>be happy to give you this point, but once again,

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 1>if that is his agenda, he's failing miserably. And second

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 1>of all this oftentimes our peers will lump predictions in

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.200
<v Speaker 1>with goals, and now I since I'm not familiar with them,

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I can't comment on the argument for them being one

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 1>or the other. But well, a lot of times people

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.840
<v Speaker 1>go in the direction of the World Economic Forum or

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the UN agenda. They are talking about things as if

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>they are goals and agendas rather than being a prediction.

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 1>For example, the most common when the entire World Economic

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 1>form argument is often founded in this idea of you

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 1>will own nothing and be happy. And this quote is

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>attributed to Ka Schwab, but he's never said it, Like

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 1>if you want to google it, if you want to

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>find it, it's interesting rabbit hole because it's not there.

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>And if it came out of a story by Ida

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>whatever her name was, I know where that is. But but,

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 1>but but trying to stick on this topic for a minute.

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.959
<v Speaker 1>So let's let's say, uh, these are goals or these

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>are plans and goals, and so we can see them

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>playing taking places. So these are aligned with the world

0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>that comic form wills and these are listed on their website.

0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>These not conspiratorial and so we can see they're already

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>in place. For example, Uh, ICE internal combustion engine cars

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 1>are to be phased out in most parts of the

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>world in the next five years and certainly in the

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>next eight and so this is a plan that they

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.320
<v Speaker 1>want to phase out ICE vehicles. Now part of that

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>plan also includes, um not really having cars anymore. Instead

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>of all these manufacturers making individual cars, they make fleets

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>of cars. And these fleets of cars are like autonomous

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 1>self driving. And so in the story she talked about

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>she kind of highlighted this. But I have a car

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>that shows up and it takes me where I want

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to go. Story that Yeah, I mean, she she talks

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>about it. But you can see all of this in policy.

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 1>And so this was a fiction piece, right, Martin. I know,

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I know what it is, but you're you're describing it

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 1>as if it is an agenda. It was a fiction piece,

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 1>but there's laws on the books. Every nation has already

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 1>put out a goal of getting rid of ice vehicles

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.440
<v Speaker 1>by certain dates for example, or getting too net zero

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>or or whatever it is, or getting rid of fossil fuels.

0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>So these are dates and these are goals that they

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 1>have said. You are are you making the correlation that

0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 1>the governments are in step with a fiction piece written

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 1>by a member of the Danish parliament. Push push that

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>to the push push push that that article to the side.

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't even care about that. I'm talking about actual

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 1>policies that have been place, and the objective of getting

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 1>rid of fossil fuel use it's a big one. Yeah, okay, yeah,

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>you see this as a negative for society. So uh well,

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 1>so if the goal is for us not to be

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 1>traveling anymore by car by plane, and we have actual

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.160
<v Speaker 1>policies that have been set, like I said, getting rid

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 1>of automobiles for example, restricting our ability to travel, which

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.240
<v Speaker 1>he said that that's the goal in the book, and

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 1>we already have policies going into place to do that.

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 1>So for example, um, we have now carbon trackings uh uh,

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.360
<v Speaker 1>scores that are being put through with master Card on

0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>credit cards, they're trying it with banks with CBDCs, and

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>of course that's written on the on the book. So

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 1>of of these goals of of these multilational companies like

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the World Coming Forum. So these are their policies and

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 1>their goals to get us to this end result of

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>this net it's whose goals to get us to not

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 1>drive and not Cloud Schwab, Mark Karney. Um, Okay, give

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>me an example of where Cloud Schwab has said that

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>this is their agenda. Because I think you're you have

0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>confirmation bias here because you started that sentence by saying

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 1>it's that is their goal. It's not. It's not confirmation bias.

0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>When they have an agenda to get to net zero

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.920
<v Speaker 1>by a certain date, then you have to go, well,

0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 1>how do they think that we'll get there? So any

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>goal without a plan is just a dream. So a

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 1>goal must have a plan. So then they have a

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 1>plan and they spell it out, right, they spell it out. So, um,

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>having to restrict movement, cut down on carbon on airplanes

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.440
<v Speaker 1>and cars is part of those steps that get us

0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to that end goal. Now we can talk about if

0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>we have achieved there. So like Vanguard has abandoned their

0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>zero goal, right, So like I believe it will fail,

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>But that doesn't change the fact that these aren't written

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>stated goals that they're working towards. Okay, there's I feel

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 1>like a mosquito at a nudest colony. There's so many

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 1>things to look at and discover and to go in,

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know quite where to start. So let's

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>let's start here. If the goal is to be carbon

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 1>net zero by a certain date, we both agree the

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.159
<v Speaker 1>marketplace will get there faster than governments ever can. You

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:27.720
<v Speaker 1>don't need to have a removal of travel and a

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.560
<v Speaker 1>removal of vehicles in order to achieve that. The marketplace

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 1>is already doing that at unprecedented speed. No, yes it is. Well,

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.199
<v Speaker 1>so I'm for free markets, so I agree with you. However,

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.760
<v Speaker 1>their goals are unrealistic and unattainable, and the only way

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to achieve those goals is not through technology. We don't

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:49.600
<v Speaker 1>have the technology for that. The only way to achieve

0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>those goals is to actually stop doing I don't agree.

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.399
<v Speaker 1>I simply don't agree, and I don't think we we

0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 1>We don't need a technology to achieve net zero in

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 1>seven years. We're very quickly getting there. We are very

0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:07.959
<v Speaker 1>quickly advancing that technology. I mean what technology as we

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:14.440
<v Speaker 1>sit here, nuclear fusion just became Did you change did

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you did you read did you read into that? Though?

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.000
<v Speaker 1>That was a big piece, that was a big PR piece.

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 1>The technology is still far off, but it was many

0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 1>decades bring many decades away from that. I don't know

0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 1>that it's many decades. I mean, if you look at

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the speed of change, even with electric vehicles, we would

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.760
<v Speaker 1>never have predicted that we were here by now. We

0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 1>never would have. Yes, electric vehicles are basically a PR

0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 1>stunt as well. They make up a small percentage and

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.720
<v Speaker 1>they're not scalable. We we can't produce batteries. We don't

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.360
<v Speaker 1>have the battery technology to do that. And that's why

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:54.440
<v Speaker 1>a big part of Elon's vision is solar. And solar

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 1>is also uh not going to work, very very very simple.

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.360
<v Speaker 1>This this this, this is not this is not really debatable.

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 1>So in order to have wind or solar, you have

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.719
<v Speaker 1>to have wind and so wind and sun and so

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 1>what you can easily do And I have a chart.

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I let's see if I can pull it up while

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to you. Actually we can. I don't know

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:15.719
<v Speaker 1>if I can share my screen. Um, and so what

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you do is you go, well, most of the world

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 1>isn't sunny enough to run solar, and most of the

0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:25.200
<v Speaker 1>world doesn't have enough wind to power wind and solar.

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:26.920
<v Speaker 1>So what you do is you you can map out

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the world. I have a map, I'll pull it up here. Well, well,

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>here's here's here's the fly of senior logic. We started

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 1>this conversation by talking about what happens when millions of

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 1>entrepreneurs have their backs against the wall, and we agree

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:40.960
<v Speaker 1>that capitalism is the fastest way to create change, the

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 1>fast way to create well, we agree with the market

0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.439
<v Speaker 1>is the way that you create innovation in order to

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 1>solve the world's problems. The only place where we disagree

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:54.680
<v Speaker 1>is whether or not there are malevolent leaders who are

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to destroy what capitalists have built. And where I

0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>fall on this is that the entrepreneur who are solving

0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 1>these problems are doing them at faster and faster rates,

0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.720
<v Speaker 1>and that the rate of change is going to increase

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.480
<v Speaker 1>in our favor in order to be able to solve

0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>these problems. And I think that most leaders know that,

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and that they can see the trend of energy becoming

0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 1>free as the result of technological innovation, that they can

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 1>see exactly how we're going to get there, and we

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.199
<v Speaker 1>don't need government force in order to achieve those aims.

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.480
<v Speaker 1>So tell me this map that you've got a couple

0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of things, wind and solar. So what you have to

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 1>do is you have to kind of map out where

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:35.919
<v Speaker 1>wind and solar would even be practical. So, for example,

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 1>you see the United States up there. The blue in

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:41.119
<v Speaker 1>the middle is where wind there's enough wind two runs windmills.

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.680
<v Speaker 1>The green is where you haven't produced. This will be

0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 1>by Peter's ion. You can see how the bottom rights

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 1>ion geopolitics. Okay, and he's got all the sources listed

0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>there on the bottom left in R, E, L, d Oe, Arena, E, PA, etcetera.

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 1>And so um, where does wind and solar make sense?

0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Wh where you have enough wind and solar So you

0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 1>can see their America is blessed, right, America is the

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:03.560
<v Speaker 1>most God blessed piece of land in the world. And

0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 1>so we have plenty of wind in the middle, we

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.320
<v Speaker 1>have plenty of sun in the southwest. That's great. But

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:10.480
<v Speaker 1>as you can see, the rest of the world isn't

0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:13.879
<v Speaker 1>so lucky. Australia looks really well. Um, the south of

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.439
<v Speaker 1>South America looks okay, but most of South America is

0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 1>not good. Um. And then what you have to do

0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 1>is you have to take where is wind and solar

0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:21.560
<v Speaker 1>work and then within a thousand miles of a major city,

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.400
<v Speaker 1>because you can't move energy across the world to within

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 1>a thousand miles. So this this kind of shows you

0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:28.480
<v Speaker 1>where wind and solar would work in the world. The

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:32.439
<v Speaker 1>other problem with wind and solar obviously is um is uh,

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not doesn't it's not windy, and it's not it's

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 1>not sunny all the time. And so what we've seen

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 1>just in the last couple of months in Europe is

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.680
<v Speaker 1>they had a very low windier like who would have thought,

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, low windier. And so now all the all

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the wind that they've built isn't produced enough energy and

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.800
<v Speaker 1>then you can't store it so in order to store

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:55.040
<v Speaker 1>enough energy. So for the United States, so with technology today,

0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:57.879
<v Speaker 1>with the technology and so this this goes back to

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 1>so you have you have the website capitalism dot com.

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.560
<v Speaker 1>You're obvious you're obviously a capitalist as am I and

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I believe that I believe that humans have an infinite

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:12.200
<v Speaker 1>return because there's no limit to our imagination. And because

0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 1>there's no limit to our imagination, there's no limit to

0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 1>what we can achieve. I believe that, but there are

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 1>limitations within timeframes. So I believe I could go make

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:23.200
<v Speaker 1>a billion dollars. I probably can't make a billion dollars

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:27.560
<v Speaker 1>by tomorrow, right, it's just limit. Right, So there's limitations, right,

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:30.040
<v Speaker 1>So you have part of goal stutting is learning how

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:33.159
<v Speaker 1>to set realistic goals. And so, um, I could probably

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.919
<v Speaker 1>become a billionaire, but probably not by tomorrow, probably not

0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:37.679
<v Speaker 1>by the end of the week or the end of

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 1>this year, right, it might take me five or ten whatever. Right,

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 1>And so when you hear Biden go on and say, oh,

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.639
<v Speaker 1>we're just magically gonna have net zero in five in

0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:49.400
<v Speaker 1>three years from now, well, we could probably get there. Um,

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:51.399
<v Speaker 1>there's lots of things we could do right now today

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that would help us get there, like switching to nuclear,

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:56.120
<v Speaker 1>for example, But to build out nuclear is gonna take

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:58.560
<v Speaker 1>a decade, right, so we can't get there by then.

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:01.399
<v Speaker 1>And so when you have and the problem that we have,

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and of course you're a capitalist, one of the biggest

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>threats and I don't know if you can debate this one.

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:08.280
<v Speaker 1>But obviously Klaus Schwab as well as a lot of

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:10.080
<v Speaker 1>let leaders, and we're seeing the United States. But Klaus

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Schwab is pushing something called stakeholder capitalism or what he

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 1>calls a public private partnership, which of course is the

0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:18.879
<v Speaker 1>opposite of capitalism. And so the problem is when you

0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 1>have the opposite of capitalist, when you have centrally since

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 1>centrally commanded economies that try to dictate everything from top down.

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:28.320
<v Speaker 1>They don't have the information from a market economy, they

0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:30.600
<v Speaker 1>don't have the information of entrepreneurs, and so they just

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have unicorns in our backyard that poop skittles.

0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:37.399
<v Speaker 1>It's like, no, no, we're not realistic. I view this

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 1>is the same way that I view the term conscious capitalism,

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:43.240
<v Speaker 1>which was coined by my friend John Mackie. John Mackie

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:45.960
<v Speaker 1>is the founder of Whole Foods. He lives here in Austin, Texas.

0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.080
<v Speaker 1>He's an acquaintance of mine, have been to his house,

0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:49.960
<v Speaker 1>he's spoken at our events, and I have the same

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:53.240
<v Speaker 1>view of his philosophy on conscious capitalism. My view is

0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 1>that capitalism is naturally conscious, that capitalism is better for

0:23:57.400 --> 0:24:00.080
<v Speaker 1>both parties and all parties that are involved. And so

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.440
<v Speaker 1>we don't need to call it conscious capitalism. I see

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 1>that as Yeah, I don't even know what that means.

0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 1>But conscious capitalism is basically the same state coortal capitalism,

0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:12.639
<v Speaker 1>where you look at casting a vision or building a

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.240
<v Speaker 1>business in a way that benefits all parties, and you

0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 1>start the business from that view, and that's great, that's wonderful,

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 1>except capitalism is already naturally leaning in that direction, and

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you stake colder capitals in the exact same way. It's better.

0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:29.439
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, but we're talking about the partnership between public

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and private. But what Cloud Swab is is who are

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the stakeholders? And the stakeholders are the two hundred or

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:37.360
<v Speaker 1>so companies that they've listed, and so really it's, uh,

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it's Marxism or communism just rebranded, is what they're trying

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:43.240
<v Speaker 1>to push. And so that's in Marxism or communism is

0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:46.160
<v Speaker 1>not compatible with capitalism. It's the opposite, right, And so

0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:48.320
<v Speaker 1>we have that's true, But that is a big jump

0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>in logic. I mean, you just you just went from

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:54.240
<v Speaker 1>my interpretation of what Cloud Schwab is doing is Marxism

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:57.360
<v Speaker 1>with a different name, and Marxism and capitalism are antithetical.

0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Therefore claud Schwab is antithetical to capital is Um. Those

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:04.600
<v Speaker 1>were really big leaps in beliefs, and I just don't

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.440
<v Speaker 1>have the same understanding of it. I think Klashwab is

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:11.160
<v Speaker 1>very benign and mostly a nothing burger, and that as

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 1>as undangerous as a human as they could be. And

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the reason that matters to me is because I see

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 1>so many of our peers putting their energy into trying

0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:21.119
<v Speaker 1>to defeat this organization, where they could just put their

0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 1>energy into building really really great stuff and not have

0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:27.080
<v Speaker 1>to worry about these big nothing burgers in the media.

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 1>So I just don't interpret it the same way that

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:32.480
<v Speaker 1>you do, and I think you're making leaps in logic

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:39.160
<v Speaker 1>that are leading a confirmation bias. That's my take, okay, um,

0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:43.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I uh I Again, I go back and say,

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 1>go read their stuff, and have you read this book?

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Have you read Klashwab's books? You read You've read The

0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Great Reset, you read the Fourth Industrial Revolution? And there

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:57.400
<v Speaker 1>are plenty of things that I disagree with. There are

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 1>plenty of things that I think his analysis in correct on,

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and I certainly don't want him to uh be making

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:09.120
<v Speaker 1>policy decisions in the United States certainly don't want them.

0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 1>And if any government were to adopt some of those things,

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:14.840
<v Speaker 1>then I would push them. I would push against them.

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that the build back Better plan failed. I'm

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:21.840
<v Speaker 1>glad that E. S. G has funds that are against it.

0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:24.680
<v Speaker 1>That's the that's the role of the marketplace. I just

0:26:24.800 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>don't see it as dangerous because he has no power,

0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 1>He even has very little influence. So there's plenty of

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:35.160
<v Speaker 1>things that I disagree with. But when I don't when

0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 1>he bragged that, so when he bragged on that he's

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:44.160
<v Speaker 1>implemented over to hun governments with his young leaders, that's

0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:46.200
<v Speaker 1>not real. That's all fake. You could say the same

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 1>thing about Harvard. You now, it's important, like if you want,

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 1>you can go in and you can look at what

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 1>they're teaching in the Young Global Leaders Associate. You can't.

0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 1>You can't say the same of the Harvard And it

0:26:57.600 --> 0:26:58.960
<v Speaker 1>goes back to what I said, like the birds of

0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:00.679
<v Speaker 1>a feather flock together. So of these people that have

0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:02.760
<v Speaker 1>all been kind of trained together and then they go

0:27:02.760 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 1>out into the world, and so they're not all being

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:06.159
<v Speaker 1>held together by one puppet guy, but they are all

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:08.600
<v Speaker 1>taught the same things like most of our government. Hillary Clinton,

0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Obama came from Colombia and you go back and look

0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:13.160
<v Speaker 1>at what does Columbia teach. Well, it doesn't teach anything good.

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 1>And then no wonder, no wonder. Obama and Hillary have

0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:18.640
<v Speaker 1>these worldviews because that's where they learned. Right, that's exactly right,

0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:20.720
<v Speaker 1>exactly right. And you can say the same thing about

0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Austrian economists, right, I come from a very Austrian view

0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of economics. You could say, well, all these people come

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:29.040
<v Speaker 1>from this line of thought, therefore they believe these things.

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:32.000
<v Speaker 1>You can do the same thing with young global leaders.

0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:36.919
<v Speaker 1>But the differences Austrian economics believes in human action and

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:42.440
<v Speaker 1>believes in freedom and savings, and like everybody's thought process,

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:45.199
<v Speaker 1>they believe that they're the right one. Otherwise I have

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.639
<v Speaker 1>them I would disagree on that. And I was actually

0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 1>asked this question by somebody, and somebody said, how do

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:52.560
<v Speaker 1>you know you're on the right side? And that's kind

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 1>of the question that that that you're posing right, How

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:56.639
<v Speaker 1>do you know you're on the right side? And I

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 1>would say I believe I'm on the right side, because

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to tell anybody else what to do.

0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Nor am I trying to artificially create money out of

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:08.120
<v Speaker 1>thin air and steal through inflation. So I'm not doing

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 1>any of that. I believe the side that's trying to

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 1>tell you what to inject into your body, or what

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 1>you can and can't eat, or what you can and

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:15.840
<v Speaker 1>can't do for business, and it's trying to steal from

0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:18.239
<v Speaker 1>your wealth, I believe they're in the wrong. So I

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>believe in freedom, and so I believe freedom is always

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the right side. So you, you and I agree that

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 1>freedom is the most important value to defend. We absolutely

0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:31.199
<v Speaker 1>believe that. And we also agree that any entity or

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:34.920
<v Speaker 1>large organization that is a threat to freedom needs to

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 1>be distrusted and needs to be eradicated. Maybe too strong

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 1>of a word, but at least we need to be

0:28:40.440 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 1>skeptical of anything that comes and encroaches upon anyone's freedom.

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 1>We both agree there. I just don't fear organizations that

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 1>push up against that because freedom and capitalism always win,

0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:57.120
<v Speaker 1>always longer. You can temporarily hold back freedom, but it

0:28:57.160 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 1>never goes away because all that does is in reese

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the demand for individual freedom. We have a very liberating

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:08.000
<v Speaker 1>trend because freedom cannot be put back in the bag.

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 1>It can't be put back in. It's shoul have been

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>putting a bag for a long time. In North Korea, well,

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:17.480
<v Speaker 1>they've never had it. If you if you open, they've

0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:19.960
<v Speaker 1>never had it before. Before the Communists took over in

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 1>North Korea, they didn't have it. You have it in

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:24.000
<v Speaker 1>South Korea and all you have a demand for freedom

0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:26.959
<v Speaker 1>bubbling up there, and eventually that will break through. You

0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 1>can try to restrict it in small places, you can

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 1>try and push it back temporarily, but long term it

0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:35.320
<v Speaker 1>always It's like building up a damn water always crashes

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.640
<v Speaker 1>for me. So I so I, I obviously agree. The

0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 1>only difference is that I I recognize a threat and

0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:44.200
<v Speaker 1>so I need to actively push back on that. So,

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 1>for example, one of the big threats I framed this

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 1>up in a conversation for everybody listening. You can go

0:29:48.520 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 1>see the whole conversation with Peter McCormick on a podcast

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 1>called whippogoin did and I and the title is the

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Battle for the Fate of Humanity, which is a pretty

0:29:56.640 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 1>big title. And part of that, you know, is that

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 1>if you go back thousands of years of history, it's

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 1>a repeating story of freedom oppression and then a revolution happens,

0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:07.920
<v Speaker 1>and then freedom and then oppression and the revolution, and

0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 1>it just repeats right on and on and on right.

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:15.280
<v Speaker 1>And so because their model, their model being central planning, communism,

0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:18.080
<v Speaker 1>whatever you wanna call it, doesn't work. It's always going

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 1>to fail over a long enough period of time. And

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:23.840
<v Speaker 1>so we we we certainly agree there. But what allows

0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 1>these revolutions to happen is somebody has that taste for

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 1>freedom and they push forward, and to your point, with

0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:32.960
<v Speaker 1>North Korea starts bubbling up and eventually there's the revolution

0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 1>that happens. The problem is, um, if we could get

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to a world where that wouldn't be allowed to happen again, Now,

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 1>how could that happen? So if you understand, yeah, so

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 1>let me let me just kind of frame this out,

0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:52.040
<v Speaker 1>so um, kind of like the movie The Matrix. But basically,

0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:53.560
<v Speaker 1>if you if you take a look at like China

0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 1>for example, which by the way, China is being tested

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:57.920
<v Speaker 1>right now, there's a lot of pushback, what's going on.

0:30:58.000 --> 0:30:59.240
<v Speaker 1>They just had to come off there zero, They just

0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 1>had to come off there zer COVID policy, which was

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:04.640
<v Speaker 1>pretty interesting. But if we if we could imagine a

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:07.560
<v Speaker 1>world and we know since Facebook admitted that they use

0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:11.240
<v Speaker 1>AI to manage your news feed. So if they could,

0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 1>which we know they have been for quite some time,

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:15.560
<v Speaker 1>if they can use social media's a way to show

0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:17.720
<v Speaker 1>you what they want. They did test that show you

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>they can affect your mood. They can make you happy

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 1>or angry, right, and so if they can show you

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 1>like in China where they have a great firewall and

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.000
<v Speaker 1>they only show you the information they want you to see,

0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 1>and through technology they're able to censor all other views

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:35.479
<v Speaker 1>and and and so forth and shut down all dissent. Okay, well,

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 1>that's part of it. The bigger piece, of course is

0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the social credit course system that China has, which you

0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:44.719
<v Speaker 1>know they blocked thirty two million people from buying bus

0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:47.560
<v Speaker 1>tickets because they said bad things about the government online,

0:31:47.760 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and so they can restrict movement. And then the last

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 1>piece that we haven't seen yet but which is coming

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 1>in is the central bank digital currencies. And the thing

0:31:55.160 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 1>with es central bank digital currencies is want It gives

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:01.520
<v Speaker 1>them all the data, which is what need. But more importantly,

0:32:01.600 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 1>it's programmable money. Right, So now, um, not do we

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 1>just block the bus transaction, but now you can't even

0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:07.800
<v Speaker 1>buy it or now you've exceed your carbons. Course, you

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 1>can't fill up with gas your car with gas. But

0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:11.840
<v Speaker 1>when you take all of these new technologies that we're

0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:15.480
<v Speaker 1>moving into, and we're not quite there yet, but we will,

0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 1>with CBDCs which are already rolled out in China, and

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 1>social credit course systems and surveillance online, they could potentially

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:26.640
<v Speaker 1>prevent that dissenting voice ever from popping up again. I

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>mean you you had to piece together a lot of

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 1>different pieces, but these are all pelogy and you and

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you had to create one timeline of them all coming

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:37.960
<v Speaker 1>together to risk their career. They have a social course system,

0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 1>we have CBDCs, they're already into. What I'm saying is

0:32:40.880 --> 0:32:43.280
<v Speaker 1>is you you have to assume a lot of things

0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>will happen and then for it to be misused, you

0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:51.840
<v Speaker 1>just you just project the natural uh trajectory that we're on,

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:54.840
<v Speaker 1>like this is within this is these pieces. There's a

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:58.840
<v Speaker 1>massive unplugged from Facebook where Facebook stock is down eight percent,

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 1>where people are turning it all. I mean the millennial

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and old people on Facebook don't get up on Facebook.

0:33:06.720 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about the technology with social gratit Core and CBDCs,

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and so that's here and so they could continue jumped

0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to that last and I was just at least in

0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the US, the Central bank digital currency has been abandoned

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>because of FED now because they were able to accomplish

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the base level of what they wanted to do without it,

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:28.000
<v Speaker 1>they've abandoned that project. And you have many different blockchain

0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:31.360
<v Speaker 1>projects that could be used privately as a way to

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 1>go against that. So you can tell the same story.

0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:37.480
<v Speaker 1>And like you went with one way that the story

0:33:37.480 --> 0:33:39.920
<v Speaker 1>could go, and there's an infinite number of different ways.

0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:41.840
<v Speaker 1>But I believe, but I believe it's important to understand

0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that is the way that could go, and that is

0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:45.600
<v Speaker 1>a threat, and so we should be doing everything we

0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:47.440
<v Speaker 1>can to make sure that doesn't become a reality. But

0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 1>that's the that's essentially like saying, let's make up a

0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:52.440
<v Speaker 1>story where it ends up with lepre cons running the world.

0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:54.000
<v Speaker 1>So we should be aware of that and try to

0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 1>defend against that. It's one story of an infinite number

0:33:56.800 --> 0:33:58.880
<v Speaker 1>of way of stories. I think it's a much more

0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 1>empowering use of our attention to say this opens up

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 1>so many opportunities for us to create. This opens up

0:34:05.480 --> 0:34:08.640
<v Speaker 1>for so much opportunity and resources for us to make

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:11.440
<v Speaker 1>a billion dollars by tomorrow, which is most it does.

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:12.880
<v Speaker 1>And I want to I want to talk about this

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:16.360
<v Speaker 1>massive opportunity because bigger problems create bigger opportunities, and I

0:34:16.400 --> 0:34:20.360
<v Speaker 1>see a massive opportunity both to prevent that from happening

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and for entrepreneurs make a lot of money. So we're

0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna move to that next. So I we definitely agree

0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 1>on a lot more than we disagree on, and watching

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Mark and I are just having fun, right, yeah, right,

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 1>like it is. It is very rare to get to

0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:39.880
<v Speaker 1>capitalists who vehemently disagree on something and walk away respecting

0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:42.759
<v Speaker 1>one another, and don't walk away calling each other socialists

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:45.399
<v Speaker 1>and saying that they're part of the agenda and part

0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>of the conspiracy. Because Mark and I both agree that

0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:51.880
<v Speaker 1>capitalists and entrepreneurs are the ones who are creating freedom

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:54.319
<v Speaker 1>and the most important thing that you can do is

0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:57.319
<v Speaker 1>to be free yourself. And then we can pontificate on

0:34:57.320 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 1>all the different ways that the world could go, all

0:34:59.239 --> 0:35:01.759
<v Speaker 1>the opportunities that could go. So I just wanted to

0:35:01.800 --> 0:35:03.680
<v Speaker 1>add an then there, because it's so rare for these

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 1>types of conversations, right, for for two people that agree

0:35:07.160 --> 0:35:09.680
<v Speaker 1>on so much to focus on the little pieces where

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:12.359
<v Speaker 1>we disagree and have a good time doing so. Yeah, well,

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and we have to understand that piece because the way

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 1>that I see problems, and this is why individualism is

0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:21.160
<v Speaker 1>so important, is because we see the world differently, and

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:23.360
<v Speaker 1>so I see different problems than you do, so I

0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:26.080
<v Speaker 1>go create different solutions than you do. And so that's

0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 1>why capitalism individualism will have to go hand in hand.

0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 1>When you have a situation like China where everybody thinks

0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:34.359
<v Speaker 1>the same. They're basically robots. You have no innovation, right,

0:35:34.520 --> 0:35:36.879
<v Speaker 1>and so you and I see the problems a little

0:35:36.880 --> 0:35:39.240
<v Speaker 1>bit differently, and so we're gonna go create solutions differently.

0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:42.200
<v Speaker 1>But I would say back to this this point that

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 1>we're on just a second ago, Um, you jumped to

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:47.480
<v Speaker 1>this world where maybe we have lepri cons and that's

0:35:47.520 --> 0:35:51.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of funny, but like we literally have social credit

0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:55.040
<v Speaker 1>score systems and CBDCs going into place right now, we

0:35:55.200 --> 0:35:59.239
<v Speaker 1>have health passports and gateway So just what three or

0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:02.760
<v Speaker 1>four weeks ago, the g twenty, the top twenty countries

0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:05.920
<v Speaker 1>in the world, met and agreed to push through a

0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 1>health pathport system to control movement around the world. This

0:36:09.280 --> 0:36:12.839
<v Speaker 1>is not speculation of of lepre cons This is they

0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:14.360
<v Speaker 1>literally had a meeting a couple of weeks ago and

0:36:14.360 --> 0:36:16.320
<v Speaker 1>they want to do this. Now, can it be stopped?

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Will it happen? Of course that's the speculation part. But

0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:20.440
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't mean that the top twenty countries didn't get

0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:22.319
<v Speaker 1>together and just just do that. So we're not just

0:36:22.320 --> 0:36:24.719
<v Speaker 1>speculating this could happen. These are technologies we have in

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.319
<v Speaker 1>place right now, and governments and leaders have said we

0:36:27.400 --> 0:36:29.920
<v Speaker 1>want to install these to happen. So it's it's it's

0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 1>a real threat. Will it happen? Not if I can

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:35.839
<v Speaker 1>do anything about it? Right, Like when when there are

0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:40.239
<v Speaker 1>pushes against freedom, it's our responsibility to push against them. Absolutely.

0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I just want the one thing I would a mobile

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:45.719
<v Speaker 1>story as you that there's a unified effort to take

0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:48.560
<v Speaker 1>away our freedom and ours the G twenty that's a

0:36:48.600 --> 0:36:51.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty unified effort. But you know what I'm saying is

0:36:51.160 --> 0:36:54.680
<v Speaker 1>a unified effort to restrict freedom and to prevent any

0:36:54.719 --> 0:37:00.600
<v Speaker 1>revolution from ever fighting. The just agreed to install a

0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:04.040
<v Speaker 1>piece of technology to control everybody's movement. Once again, you

0:37:04.120 --> 0:37:08.120
<v Speaker 1>are using you are looking at a global narrative that

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you have and then finding evidence for it, like we

0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:17.040
<v Speaker 1>could sit here and debate conclude that that is an entire,

0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:21.760
<v Speaker 1>an entire agenda to restrict freedom and prevent revolutions from happening.

0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I would just say if if, if you don't look

0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:26.680
<v Speaker 1>at all the signs together, then you don't get the

0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 1>context that no, no, no, that's confirmation. Then is confirmation

0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:33.239
<v Speaker 1>by It's not when we're starting with a story and

0:37:33.239 --> 0:37:36.160
<v Speaker 1>then breaking into pieces of evidence that that that is

0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:39.520
<v Speaker 1>non inductive reading reasoning that that is that is you

0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:43.239
<v Speaker 1>are confirmed by you have a suspicion and then gets confirmed.

0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:45.600
<v Speaker 1>And now we're looking at all these other pieces and

0:37:45.640 --> 0:37:48.319
<v Speaker 1>I think I think the argument falls apart when you

0:37:48.360 --> 0:37:53.600
<v Speaker 1>remove the story from it. Yeah, So, like I always

0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:55.239
<v Speaker 1>want to summarize here, I just want to. I want

0:37:55.239 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to summary because I know we want to need to

0:37:57.000 --> 0:38:00.640
<v Speaker 1>move on. And it's that over overall, you have a

0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:04.880
<v Speaker 1>different overarching story than I do. And I don't know

0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:10.640
<v Speaker 1>if I'm right because you can have you but and

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you you have all of the reasons why I like

0:38:14.840 --> 0:38:17.400
<v Speaker 1>evidence to support your claim. I have mine, And at

0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:18.840
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, I don't know if I

0:38:18.880 --> 0:38:21.359
<v Speaker 1>am right or wrong. I know how I will know

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:24.359
<v Speaker 1>if I am wrong. I like I know that if

0:38:24.400 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I start seeing X, Y, and Z, I will have

0:38:26.680 --> 0:38:29.880
<v Speaker 1>to rethink my worldview. I know that if I start

0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:34.280
<v Speaker 1>seeing my travel restricted and then I can't own a car,

0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:37.239
<v Speaker 1>I will say maybe Mark was right on this podcast.

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:40.759
<v Speaker 1>By that point, well, I don't agree with that. We're

0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:42.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to predict a few you know, we're trying to

0:38:42.080 --> 0:38:45.799
<v Speaker 1>predict the future, right. I think that there's that there's

0:38:45.800 --> 0:38:48.439
<v Speaker 1>always a chance that freedom always wins. So I would

0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:51.479
<v Speaker 1>need to adjust my strategy because my strategy right now

0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:55.879
<v Speaker 1>is to empower entrepreneurs to create financial freedom. I would

0:38:55.920 --> 0:38:57.680
<v Speaker 1>need to adjust my strategy if I see that we

0:38:57.719 --> 0:39:01.000
<v Speaker 1>can't travel and there's no movement allowed anymore. So so

0:39:01.160 --> 0:39:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I know how I know where if I am wrong.

0:39:03.880 --> 0:39:07.799
<v Speaker 1>What I encourage people to do is they're weighing your

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:10.920
<v Speaker 1>list of reasons, and my list of reasons is to

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:13.040
<v Speaker 1>answer the question, how will I know if my worldview

0:39:13.080 --> 0:39:15.000
<v Speaker 1>is wrong? How will I know? Because we all have

0:39:15.120 --> 0:39:18.919
<v Speaker 1>an overarching story. You've got one, I've got one. How

0:39:18.960 --> 0:39:22.040
<v Speaker 1>often do we question that overarching story? Because I don't

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:24.440
<v Speaker 1>think that we're ever free if we're being run by

0:39:24.480 --> 0:39:27.440
<v Speaker 1>our subconscious stories. So just like I have a family,

0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:30.520
<v Speaker 1>member who believes that there's going to be a rapture

0:39:30.880 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and uh, and Jesus is going to rescue all of

0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:35.439
<v Speaker 1>the Christians and they're going to disappear, and they're gonna

0:39:35.440 --> 0:39:38.200
<v Speaker 1>have a seven year tribulation. She has that overarching story

0:39:38.200 --> 0:39:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and she looks at every political discussion through that lens.

0:39:41.320 --> 0:39:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't have that story. I think that's crazy whack

0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:45.879
<v Speaker 1>of doodle. So I don't have but I will know

0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:48.680
<v Speaker 1>that if all the Christians disappear one day, I was

0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 1>wrong and I need to rethink my thesis. So I

0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:54.040
<v Speaker 1>think it's important that we ask the question of how

0:39:54.120 --> 0:39:56.400
<v Speaker 1>will we know if our worldview is wrong? And I

0:39:56.400 --> 0:39:58.880
<v Speaker 1>think only then can we start to test if we

0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:01.879
<v Speaker 1>are right or wrong. So, great summary. Let me give

0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:04.239
<v Speaker 1>a summary as well. Um So, what I would say

0:40:04.360 --> 0:40:07.200
<v Speaker 1>is I agree confirmation bias is a serious problem that

0:40:07.239 --> 0:40:10.880
<v Speaker 1>most people suffer. Everybody suffers from all we're all susceptible

0:40:10.920 --> 0:40:12.920
<v Speaker 1>to it. And so what we all need to do,

0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:15.080
<v Speaker 1>and I preach this all the time, is that what

0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:17.319
<v Speaker 1>we should always be doing is looking for information that

0:40:17.520 --> 0:40:20.760
<v Speaker 1>goes against our bias. We're always trying to find the holes.

0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:24.959
<v Speaker 1>And so, um, I made a video recently, and I said,

0:40:25.000 --> 0:40:27.000
<v Speaker 1>why I don't think there's gonna be another market crash?

0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:28.799
<v Speaker 1>And why I think that the market is gonna keep

0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:32.360
<v Speaker 1>going up? And uh, I said, are you one certain

0:40:32.520 --> 0:40:34.680
<v Speaker 1>a hundred percent certain that the market is gonna crash?

0:40:35.480 --> 0:40:37.719
<v Speaker 1>Of course you're not, are you ninety percent? So maybe

0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:40.160
<v Speaker 1>there's let's explore that right And oh man, I got

0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:42.000
<v Speaker 1>people so piste off. I had all these people telling

0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the beautiful they're unsubscribing from my channel, how they're right? Right?

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:49.360
<v Speaker 1>So I do believe in always looking um for information

0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:52.840
<v Speaker 1>that goes against my confirmation bias. I think the difference

0:40:52.880 --> 0:40:56.520
<v Speaker 1>between my view and your view, as I'm understanding right

0:40:56.719 --> 0:40:58.759
<v Speaker 1>now and like in through your summary in our conversation

0:40:58.880 --> 0:41:01.680
<v Speaker 1>is that, Um, what you're saying is until I see

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:04.319
<v Speaker 1>those things happening, I don't have that worldview, which which

0:41:04.360 --> 0:41:07.839
<v Speaker 1>is understandable. The problem with that view is that by

0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the time you do see it, it's too late. And

0:41:09.640 --> 0:41:12.160
<v Speaker 1>so what I do is, UM, I try to use

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.720
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of reasoning, one obviously looking for stuff

0:41:14.719 --> 0:41:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that goes against it. And I'll come back to that.

0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:17.680
<v Speaker 1>But what I try to do is I try to

0:41:17.760 --> 0:41:20.600
<v Speaker 1>use history, so we understand natural chain of events, cause

0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and effect right, and so we understand the way history works.

0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:24.600
<v Speaker 1>But we also, like I said, I'd like to go

0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:27.839
<v Speaker 1>directly to the source rather than opinions and speculations. Directly source.

0:41:27.920 --> 0:41:29.719
<v Speaker 1>What did this person who's trying to push these falls?

0:41:29.760 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 1>What did they say? What are their goals? When the

0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:34.200
<v Speaker 1>G twenty has a meeting and comes out of the

0:41:34.200 --> 0:41:36.759
<v Speaker 1>meeting said our new objective is to pass this and

0:41:36.760 --> 0:41:39.239
<v Speaker 1>put it into place. I take that seriously. Now, will

0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:40.960
<v Speaker 1>it happen? I hope not. If I can do anything

0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:43.799
<v Speaker 1>about it, I won't. But this is their objective. This

0:41:43.880 --> 0:41:46.560
<v Speaker 1>is not speculation. Now it is speculation, and fl will

0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:49.319
<v Speaker 1>ever achieve that goal. But they've told that now to

0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the confirmation bias piece, I would then go look for

0:41:53.200 --> 0:41:56.040
<v Speaker 1>um information to go against that bias. So I would go,

0:41:56.280 --> 0:41:59.600
<v Speaker 1>is there any information that would show that that's not

0:41:59.680 --> 0:42:03.560
<v Speaker 1>going to happen? Are there any lawmakers? Are there any

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:06.880
<v Speaker 1>you know NGOs that are saying that's wrong and we're

0:42:06.920 --> 0:42:08.920
<v Speaker 1>not gonna do it. And the answer is no. So

0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:11.200
<v Speaker 1>there is no other information goes against this. So um,

0:42:11.200 --> 0:42:13.080
<v Speaker 1>it is speculation. We don't know the feut None of

0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:15.239
<v Speaker 1>us do, which is why there's no such thing as

0:42:15.360 --> 0:42:18.279
<v Speaker 1>as as certainties. But but when the G twenty says

0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:20.400
<v Speaker 1>they're going to do this, and they have all adopted

0:42:20.400 --> 0:42:22.560
<v Speaker 1>this and voted on and agreed to it, then I

0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:24.440
<v Speaker 1>have to go, well, that's probably the direction we're going,

0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:28.439
<v Speaker 1>unless something were to derail that. I mean, we could

0:42:28.440 --> 0:42:33.280
<v Speaker 1>go down a really long rabbit hole here because confirmation bias.

0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:35.680
<v Speaker 1>But so you so you gave your summary. Well, but

0:42:35.680 --> 0:42:37.160
<v Speaker 1>but then I need to find other information that goes

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:39.000
<v Speaker 1>against the bias, and I can't. Okay, you gave your summy,

0:42:39.040 --> 0:42:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I gave mine. Let's talk about opportunit. Let's talk about

0:42:40.880 --> 0:42:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the oportunity. Let's talk about because you know, I do

0:42:44.719 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 1>talk a lot about um bad things that are potentially

0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:51.239
<v Speaker 1>going to happen, um, But at the same time, I'm

0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:54.160
<v Speaker 1>full of hope and uh, and I hope for the future.

0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I do want to make just one comment before we

0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:57.680
<v Speaker 1>jump into that, because something that you said over and

0:42:57.680 --> 0:42:59.520
<v Speaker 1>over and I've said over and over, which is I

0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:04.319
<v Speaker 1>believe free of him always wins. I do. I believe that. However, UM,

0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:07.080
<v Speaker 1>something I've been struggling with a lot, and that is

0:43:07.160 --> 0:43:11.279
<v Speaker 1>that not everybody wants freedom and as a matter of fact,

0:43:11.360 --> 0:43:14.799
<v Speaker 1>most people don't. And I believe that as as a

0:43:14.920 --> 0:43:19.400
<v Speaker 1>human we have this natural drive and desire, which is

0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:21.879
<v Speaker 1>why capitalism is there. Right. Capitalism is about becoming more

0:43:21.880 --> 0:43:24.520
<v Speaker 1>efficient with my scarce resources. Right, instead of carrying one

0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:26.200
<v Speaker 1>rock at a time, I made a wheelbarrel to carry

0:43:26.280 --> 0:43:28.719
<v Speaker 1>ten rocks, right, um, And so we're always trying to

0:43:28.719 --> 0:43:30.600
<v Speaker 1>do that. And then and then free involuntary trade. I

0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:32.960
<v Speaker 1>killed an animal, you have a fire, Hey, let's share

0:43:33.000 --> 0:43:35.759
<v Speaker 1>the fire and the food. Right, that's capitalism. But but

0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:38.600
<v Speaker 1>not everybody has that. And so what we can see

0:43:38.719 --> 0:43:40.279
<v Speaker 1>this was really highlighted. I don't know if you saw

0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:43.600
<v Speaker 1>doctor Matteis Desmond. He kind of came up with that

0:43:43.680 --> 0:43:51.359
<v Speaker 1>whole um theory on crap on the mass formation psychosis,

0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and it was talking about how liket of the people

0:43:54.120 --> 0:43:56.719
<v Speaker 1>are just gonna go along with whatever narrative is. People

0:43:56.719 --> 0:43:58.399
<v Speaker 1>are going to reject whatever the narratives, and then there's

0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:00.799
<v Speaker 1>like the fort in the middle that could way either way.

0:44:01.320 --> 0:44:03.640
<v Speaker 1>And so when it when it comes to freedom, you know,

0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:06.480
<v Speaker 1>most people do they just want to live their life. Man,

0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:08.160
<v Speaker 1>let me just live my life. Let me just be

0:44:08.200 --> 0:44:09.840
<v Speaker 1>with my kids. I don't want to get involved in

0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that right kind of a thing. And so, um, you

0:44:13.440 --> 0:44:15.880
<v Speaker 1>talked about the rapture and I don't necessarily believe that,

0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:17.760
<v Speaker 1>but um I do. I do believe in the Bible,

0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:19.200
<v Speaker 1>and in the Bible, whether you believe it or not,

0:44:19.280 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 1>there's there's this history in there, and one of the

0:44:21.719 --> 0:44:23.680
<v Speaker 1>stories and it's just kind of highlights this is that

0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:26.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, Moses went and free the Israelites from Egypt,

0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:27.839
<v Speaker 1>and they went to the went to the desert, right

0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:31.640
<v Speaker 1>and when they got there, after four years of slavery

0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:33.799
<v Speaker 1>where they were being beaten and killed and whatever, they

0:44:33.800 --> 0:44:36.759
<v Speaker 1>get over there, and then because they didn't know what

0:44:36.800 --> 0:44:38.799
<v Speaker 1>was coming next, they said, at least just let us

0:44:38.840 --> 0:44:41.160
<v Speaker 1>go back to Egypt or we were slaves, because at

0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:43.360
<v Speaker 1>least we knew where our food was coming from. And

0:44:43.400 --> 0:44:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that just sets the mindset of a lot

0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:48.040
<v Speaker 1>of people where they would rather trade security for freedom.

0:44:48.080 --> 0:44:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Freedom is messy, it's dangerous, it's scary, and so I

0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:55.200
<v Speaker 1>think it's up to us, the capitalist to really push

0:44:55.280 --> 0:44:57.920
<v Speaker 1>this because the majority of people don't all want that.

0:45:00.600 --> 0:45:03.759
<v Speaker 1>I think we actually all want it. It's a matter

0:45:03.800 --> 0:45:08.319
<v Speaker 1>of who's willing to fight for it. We all desire freedom, right,

0:45:08.680 --> 0:45:13.319
<v Speaker 1>But you're right that we will prioritize safety before we

0:45:13.440 --> 0:45:17.080
<v Speaker 1>prioritize freedom. You and I have you and I have

0:45:17.360 --> 0:45:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the well, our our lizard brain comes first. You and

0:45:21.080 --> 0:45:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I just have the belief that freedom is the best

0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:27.960
<v Speaker 1>way to provide those things. We happen to believe that

0:45:28.040 --> 0:45:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the food system that has been created by capitalism is

0:45:32.120 --> 0:45:35.440
<v Speaker 1>way better than what any dictator could ever create. Like,

0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:37.880
<v Speaker 1>no dictator is ever gonna let me walk to whole Foods.

0:45:38.000 --> 0:45:40.480
<v Speaker 1>They're just not there's not going to create that system,

0:45:40.520 --> 0:45:44.719
<v Speaker 1>whereas capitalism will. And so we just happened. I think

0:45:45.120 --> 0:45:47.439
<v Speaker 1>to think a little bit longer term, and that longer

0:45:47.560 --> 0:45:50.120
<v Speaker 1>term is about the society that we're building and the

0:45:50.200 --> 0:45:54.360
<v Speaker 1>systems through which we accomplish those goals, and capitalism happens

0:45:54.400 --> 0:45:57.319
<v Speaker 1>to be the best way to do that. Okay, So, um,

0:45:57.360 --> 0:45:58.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know, but I recently wrote

0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:01.359
<v Speaker 1>a book it's got a best seller categories, is called

0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:06.920
<v Speaker 1>The uncommon Is Manifesto, and my co author Alex Fetzky, um,

0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I had kind of abandoned the word capitalist because it

0:46:09.680 --> 0:46:12.360
<v Speaker 1>just has this negative connotation and people misunderstand it. And

0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I've been using like free markets, you know, but he's like, no,

0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:18.319
<v Speaker 1>we need to reclaim that word. We need to stand up,

0:46:18.360 --> 0:46:20.680
<v Speaker 1>we need to defend that word. And so in that

0:46:20.719 --> 0:46:22.480
<v Speaker 1>book we have like a whole glossary of terms, and

0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:24.799
<v Speaker 1>we really make the case for capitalism in that book.

0:46:24.840 --> 0:46:28.440
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, let's let's jump to the hope and the optimism,

0:46:28.480 --> 0:46:31.040
<v Speaker 1>but more importantly the opportunity that I see. And I'm

0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:33.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be pivoting into this opportunity for next year. And

0:46:33.920 --> 0:46:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I know you're doing a lot of the same things.

0:46:35.320 --> 0:46:40.759
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about that. So big problems problems equal opportunities,

0:46:40.800 --> 0:46:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and big problems equal bigger opportunities. And as I said,

0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm very bullish on what happens when millions of entrepreneurs

0:46:45.760 --> 0:46:49.880
<v Speaker 1>or backs against the wall. I believe that our greatest

0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:51.120
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know if I believe this is I

0:46:51.160 --> 0:46:53.880
<v Speaker 1>believe in the factual what the greatest vote we have

0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:56.640
<v Speaker 1>is with our money. Um, we saw with the mid

0:46:56.800 --> 0:46:59.399
<v Speaker 1>terms like and whatever elections like our vote doesn't really matter,

0:46:59.440 --> 0:47:02.480
<v Speaker 1>but our vote with our money does. So you've mentioned, um,

0:47:02.520 --> 0:47:04.800
<v Speaker 1>you know E s G failing and now anti e

0:47:04.960 --> 0:47:07.640
<v Speaker 1>SG funds being set up. People are voting with their money, right,

0:47:07.800 --> 0:47:10.480
<v Speaker 1>we saw what six states now have divested their funds

0:47:10.480 --> 0:47:13.080
<v Speaker 1>from black Rock, and black rocks like, oh shoot, and

0:47:13.120 --> 0:47:16.359
<v Speaker 1>now Vanguard said, okay, we're abandoning that right, and so

0:47:16.480 --> 0:47:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the vote with the money is really making an impact.

0:47:19.800 --> 0:47:22.239
<v Speaker 1>We agree on that right totally. Okay, so we might

0:47:22.320 --> 0:47:25.560
<v Speaker 1>have the opinions about black Rock, but yes, as voting

0:47:25.560 --> 0:47:27.880
<v Speaker 1>with your dollar is the most important. I love that

0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:30.319
<v Speaker 1>you just said the way we vote politically doesn't matter,

0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:32.959
<v Speaker 1>about how we vote with our money matters very much. Sure.

0:47:33.080 --> 0:47:35.280
<v Speaker 1>That's that's that's the ultimate vote, right, That's the ultimate

0:47:35.360 --> 0:47:38.919
<v Speaker 1>vote is with our money. And so you know, UM,

0:47:39.520 --> 0:47:42.440
<v Speaker 1>without without opinion on black Rock, UM, six states did

0:47:42.440 --> 0:47:45.320
<v Speaker 1>divest their money from black Rock, and we have nineteen

0:47:45.360 --> 0:47:47.520
<v Speaker 1>states that have now filed lawsuits against a handful of

0:47:47.560 --> 0:47:49.200
<v Speaker 1>banks because the s G policies. And so I'm very

0:47:49.200 --> 0:47:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm very bullish on that. And that's that's, that's that's

0:47:51.520 --> 0:47:54.440
<v Speaker 1>the proof that we need to keep going. Right. But

0:47:54.440 --> 0:47:56.799
<v Speaker 1>but here's this opportunity that I'm seeing and maybe this

0:47:56.880 --> 0:47:59.320
<v Speaker 1>is too uh, this is too far on my side

0:47:59.520 --> 0:48:00.759
<v Speaker 1>to look at this, but let me just frame this

0:48:00.840 --> 0:48:03.960
<v Speaker 1>up for you. So, UM, we know that UM, our

0:48:04.040 --> 0:48:06.040
<v Speaker 1>vote is our vote, our money is our biggest opportunity

0:48:06.080 --> 0:48:07.600
<v Speaker 1>and our vote at the at the at the ballots

0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:10.359
<v Speaker 1>don't really say much. Um, I think regardless of what

0:48:10.400 --> 0:48:13.520
<v Speaker 1>political al you're on, Um, really, I think it's all

0:48:13.560 --> 0:48:17.160
<v Speaker 1>summarized in the race in Pennsylvania where you had a

0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:21.120
<v Speaker 1>celebrity doctor who's good looking and very articulate and I

0:48:21.160 --> 0:48:22.920
<v Speaker 1>thought was a liberal. He used to be backed by

0:48:22.960 --> 0:48:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Oprah's best friend, Dr Oz. Everybody loves him, super smart,

0:48:26.120 --> 0:48:28.760
<v Speaker 1>he's a doctor. And you have a guy who can't

0:48:28.760 --> 0:48:31.759
<v Speaker 1>even put a sentence together. And I get it, he

0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:33.279
<v Speaker 1>had a stroke and whatever. And I don't want to

0:48:33.280 --> 0:48:35.360
<v Speaker 1>pick fun on that, but if if you had a

0:48:35.400 --> 0:48:37.719
<v Speaker 1>stroke or you're sick or whatever and you can't talk like,

0:48:37.800 --> 0:48:40.760
<v Speaker 1>you can't be a representative and and and they voted

0:48:40.960 --> 0:48:45.360
<v Speaker 1>him in over a very well spoken, well like celebrity doctor,

0:48:45.360 --> 0:48:47.640
<v Speaker 1>And I think that just frames it all up. Either

0:48:48.080 --> 0:48:51.240
<v Speaker 1>they are so ideologically blind or what it was corrupt

0:48:51.320 --> 0:48:53.520
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. But anyway, the vote with our money. So

0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:56.600
<v Speaker 1>here's here's what I'm seeing. So as an opportunity, and

0:48:56.640 --> 0:48:58.640
<v Speaker 1>you help people do this, So I want your opinion

0:48:58.640 --> 0:49:03.000
<v Speaker 1>on him. So, um, you you remember, you know, in

0:49:03.040 --> 0:49:06.759
<v Speaker 1>the last election, Biden and Trump. Um Trump. Obama had

0:49:06.800 --> 0:49:09.239
<v Speaker 1>broken every voting record in the world. He had or

0:49:09.360 --> 0:49:10.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the United States, had the most votes.

0:49:10.840 --> 0:49:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Trump came and beat that. He got even more votes

0:49:13.360 --> 0:49:17.280
<v Speaker 1>than Obama did, and then Trump Biden. Trump beat it again,

0:49:17.520 --> 0:49:20.520
<v Speaker 1>he got even more votes. And then somehow Biden also

0:49:20.560 --> 0:49:23.279
<v Speaker 1>beat it. So, however you look at to be fair,

0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Hillary got more votes than than Donnie did too, so

0:49:26.400 --> 0:49:29.759
<v Speaker 1>they both broke the record. Okay, So if if you

0:49:29.760 --> 0:49:31.239
<v Speaker 1>want to look at it, it's at least like a

0:49:31.360 --> 0:49:34.440
<v Speaker 1>very close fifty fifty of the country. Um. Some some

0:49:34.480 --> 0:49:36.880
<v Speaker 1>people might think that there's a silent majority because of

0:49:36.920 --> 0:49:38.520
<v Speaker 1>the way that the polling works. If you look at

0:49:38.520 --> 0:49:40.239
<v Speaker 1>a map of the United States, it's mostly read with

0:49:40.280 --> 0:49:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a couple of blue blue areas. Um, So I would

0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:45.920
<v Speaker 1>say at least half of the country is this uh

0:49:46.040 --> 0:49:49.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of conservative base maybe sev who are probably not

0:49:49.520 --> 0:49:51.359
<v Speaker 1>happy with the direction things are going, and they call

0:49:51.440 --> 0:49:56.040
<v Speaker 1>themselves a silent majority, right. Um. I get about five

0:49:56.040 --> 0:49:58.560
<v Speaker 1>thousand comments a week across my social media platforms, and

0:49:58.600 --> 0:50:00.319
<v Speaker 1>I constantly get emails from people like do we do?

0:50:00.400 --> 0:50:01.719
<v Speaker 1>What do we do? I don't know what to do? Right?

0:50:01.760 --> 0:50:04.319
<v Speaker 1>All these things and part of the problem is And

0:50:04.320 --> 0:50:06.759
<v Speaker 1>then you saw that speech. Biden gave that speech with

0:50:06.800 --> 0:50:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the red background with two military people there, and he's like,

0:50:09.760 --> 0:50:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the biggest threat that we have in America is conservatives. Maga, maga,

0:50:13.080 --> 0:50:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Conservatives are the problem, and we need to do this right.

0:50:16.040 --> 0:50:19.080
<v Speaker 1>And uh, he basically demonized at least at least half

0:50:19.080 --> 0:50:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the country, if not more. Right. Um, And so all

0:50:22.239 --> 0:50:24.680
<v Speaker 1>of these people have been demonized. All these people are

0:50:24.719 --> 0:50:27.560
<v Speaker 1>the problem, and all of these people aren't happy with

0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:28.799
<v Speaker 1>the way it's going, but they don't know what to do,

0:50:29.080 --> 0:50:31.120
<v Speaker 1>so that let's frame up one. But then here's where

0:50:31.160 --> 0:50:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I see this opportunity. So um, I believe that not

0:50:34.400 --> 0:50:36.319
<v Speaker 1>only do humans have a drive for freedom, they also

0:50:36.360 --> 0:50:38.960
<v Speaker 1>have a drive they want truth. We need we have

0:50:39.040 --> 0:50:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to live in truth. And so when you see like

0:50:40.960 --> 0:50:43.319
<v Speaker 1>the Soviet Union, they got so big and under these

0:50:43.320 --> 0:50:45.520
<v Speaker 1>communist dictator regimes that people have to are they're forced

0:50:45.520 --> 0:50:47.200
<v Speaker 1>to live a lie, and they don't want to live

0:50:47.200 --> 0:50:49.840
<v Speaker 1>a lie. And when somebody breaks through and lives in

0:50:49.880 --> 0:50:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the truth, that people see that and they want that truth.

0:50:52.440 --> 0:50:54.480
<v Speaker 1>And I believe that truth has been sucked out of

0:50:54.480 --> 0:50:58.239
<v Speaker 1>our ecosystem. And so now boys can be girls and uh,

0:50:58.280 --> 0:51:00.399
<v Speaker 1>you can be whatever you want and like all the things.

0:51:00.440 --> 0:51:02.520
<v Speaker 1>And so it's create a lot of problems. And we

0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:05.400
<v Speaker 1>can see that this this this truth has been sucked

0:51:05.400 --> 0:51:08.080
<v Speaker 1>out and it's like it's created this vacuum. So look

0:51:08.080 --> 0:51:10.160
<v Speaker 1>at the rise of Jordan Peterson, Like he came out

0:51:10.200 --> 0:51:12.600
<v Speaker 1>and said, shut up, wipe your face off, pull yourself

0:51:12.680 --> 0:51:14.799
<v Speaker 1>up by your bootstraps, play the hand that you're dealt

0:51:15.000 --> 0:51:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and like he just boom, Like people wanted that they

0:51:17.680 --> 0:51:19.480
<v Speaker 1>needed to hear that. You can see it with Andrew Tate,

0:51:19.600 --> 0:51:23.040
<v Speaker 1>similar message, kind of same thing. Maloney over the in

0:51:23.040 --> 0:51:25.480
<v Speaker 1>in Italy kind of said the same thing. These people

0:51:25.560 --> 0:51:28.760
<v Speaker 1>that are willing to stand up and speak the truth

0:51:29.000 --> 0:51:32.440
<v Speaker 1>are really growing because there's this vacuum that's being created, right,

0:51:32.920 --> 0:51:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and so it's it's it's it's important to comment here

0:51:35.120 --> 0:51:37.240
<v Speaker 1>because you keep saying the truth. We had an interesting

0:51:37.239 --> 0:51:41.359
<v Speaker 1>Twitter exchange this past week about reality being a subjective

0:51:41.480 --> 0:51:45.120
<v Speaker 1>or objective, and I think what you are commenting on

0:51:45.400 --> 0:51:50.720
<v Speaker 1>is people speaking according to their values, having having values

0:51:50.760 --> 0:51:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that go against the narrative, and being willing to speak

0:51:53.040 --> 0:51:57.960
<v Speaker 1>against them because you the truth may or may not

0:51:58.040 --> 0:52:01.680
<v Speaker 1>be knowable by human beings, but doubling down on your

0:52:01.719 --> 0:52:04.920
<v Speaker 1>values and speaking from that that will call that truth.

0:52:05.640 --> 0:52:08.600
<v Speaker 1>That is very rare in society because most people are

0:52:08.640 --> 0:52:11.160
<v Speaker 1>just willing to go along with whatever the macro narrative is.

0:52:11.520 --> 0:52:13.920
<v Speaker 1>What you're commenting on, I think is more a reflection

0:52:13.960 --> 0:52:16.759
<v Speaker 1>of people being bold enough to say what other people

0:52:16.760 --> 0:52:19.000
<v Speaker 1>are not willing to say. That is alignment with many

0:52:19.000 --> 0:52:21.759
<v Speaker 1>people's values. I just wanted to slip that in there,

0:52:21.840 --> 0:52:25.800
<v Speaker 1>because there's I think you and I are would say

0:52:25.800 --> 0:52:27.959
<v Speaker 1>the same thing as values wise, but use different words

0:52:27.960 --> 0:52:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to describe it. So I just wanted to add some

0:52:30.120 --> 0:52:32.759
<v Speaker 1>context there. Yeah, I I don't. I don't believe in

0:52:32.800 --> 0:52:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the subjective reality. I'm more of an objectivist in that

0:52:35.800 --> 0:52:38.400
<v Speaker 1>in that terms, And so how do you know how

0:52:38.440 --> 0:52:41.880
<v Speaker 1>do you know what is objectively true? Well, I think,

0:52:42.000 --> 0:52:44.720
<v Speaker 1>for example, back to this kind of Jordan Peterson example,

0:52:45.200 --> 0:52:48.040
<v Speaker 1>do you is it true that you're going to be

0:52:48.120 --> 0:52:51.520
<v Speaker 1>more successful in life, meaning have better happiness and achieve

0:52:51.520 --> 0:52:53.080
<v Speaker 1>better results and take care of your friends and family.

0:52:53.239 --> 0:52:56.320
<v Speaker 1>If you sit in the corner and wallow about yourself pity,

0:52:56.560 --> 0:52:58.799
<v Speaker 1>or if you take responsibility and take action in your life.

0:52:59.080 --> 0:53:01.719
<v Speaker 1>It depends on the person in his life situation, so

0:53:02.040 --> 0:53:04.239
<v Speaker 1>I definitely will be. I definitely will be fighting for

0:53:04.360 --> 0:53:06.920
<v Speaker 1>my own freedom and my own prosperity. There are plenty

0:53:06.960 --> 0:53:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of people in very affluent families who get lots of

0:53:10.880 --> 0:53:13.280
<v Speaker 1>money from mom and dad for sitting in the corner

0:53:13.320 --> 0:53:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and wallowing about their life. Well, I mean, if you're

0:53:16.120 --> 0:53:18.000
<v Speaker 1>saying who gets the most money, But I'm talking about,

0:53:18.040 --> 0:53:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, being able to take control of their life,

0:53:20.480 --> 0:53:25.280
<v Speaker 1>be responsible, feel happy, feel fulfilled, and actually like create

0:53:25.320 --> 0:53:28.440
<v Speaker 1>progress you have. You can only do those things if

0:53:28.480 --> 0:53:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you take responsibility, take action. I'm sitting in a corner.

0:53:31.160 --> 0:53:32.319
<v Speaker 1>You will never do that. So it's like it's like

0:53:32.480 --> 0:53:34.879
<v Speaker 1>you are, you are. You're talking about a value again,

0:53:34.920 --> 0:53:37.040
<v Speaker 1>this is a value that you and actually, okay, that's

0:53:37.040 --> 0:53:38.400
<v Speaker 1>a whole rabbit hole we probably don't need to go

0:53:38.400 --> 0:53:42.440
<v Speaker 1>down because we are so so people live in their values.

0:53:42.440 --> 0:53:44.680
<v Speaker 1>People willing to go against the narrative whatever. Right, So

0:53:44.719 --> 0:53:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the narrative has been so stacked one way that now

0:53:46.960 --> 0:53:49.400
<v Speaker 1>people who will stand up with a different narrative wouldn't

0:53:49.400 --> 0:53:51.480
<v Speaker 1>call it that. But I think again, so I think

0:53:51.480 --> 0:53:54.520
<v Speaker 1>there's this massive opportunity where we have all these people globally,

0:53:54.719 --> 0:53:58.080
<v Speaker 1>right in Italy, in Europe, even in Canada you have

0:53:58.080 --> 0:54:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Pierre Poliv but you know Jordan Peterson, you have Joe Rogan,

0:54:01.760 --> 0:54:04.480
<v Speaker 1>you got uh Andrew Tate. You know all these different examples,

0:54:04.520 --> 0:54:06.799
<v Speaker 1>and so, um, you have five thousand comments. We come

0:54:06.840 --> 0:54:08.719
<v Speaker 1>acrostal Spedia. What do I do? All these people need

0:54:08.719 --> 0:54:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to vote with their money? But how how do they

0:54:11.280 --> 0:54:14.400
<v Speaker 1>vote with their money when every company has gone woke?

0:54:14.920 --> 0:54:17.440
<v Speaker 1>And so I look at it, Um, this is my strategy.

0:54:17.480 --> 0:54:18.959
<v Speaker 1>So I'll break it down. I'm calling it a three

0:54:18.960 --> 0:54:21.560
<v Speaker 1>part strategy. It's a top down, bottom up, inside out.

0:54:21.880 --> 0:54:24.480
<v Speaker 1>And so I borrowed it from Marxism, right, I stole

0:54:24.520 --> 0:54:27.520
<v Speaker 1>it from Marxism. So Marxism came into the United States

0:54:27.560 --> 0:54:30.239
<v Speaker 1>through a three part strategy, top down, bottom up, inside out,

0:54:30.239 --> 0:54:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and I think we can fight back doing the same thing.

0:54:33.040 --> 0:54:36.080
<v Speaker 1>And so top down is like politics, which we've already

0:54:36.120 --> 0:54:38.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of agreed that there's not a lot of leverage there,

0:54:38.080 --> 0:54:41.080
<v Speaker 1>but like local politics is still important. My sheriff's important,

0:54:41.120 --> 0:54:43.120
<v Speaker 1>my governor is important, and you know, the further away

0:54:43.120 --> 0:54:45.279
<v Speaker 1>it gets less important. But hey, uh, if i'm if

0:54:45.320 --> 0:54:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm breathing, i'm swinging, I might as well be voting. Right,

0:54:47.760 --> 0:54:50.520
<v Speaker 1>then there's the bottom up. And that's like the education piece,

0:54:50.560 --> 0:54:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and so we can we can share education, we can

0:54:53.600 --> 0:54:56.320
<v Speaker 1>wake people up, things like that. But then most importantly,

0:54:56.320 --> 0:54:58.680
<v Speaker 1>it's the inside out. And this is where they really won,

0:54:59.080 --> 0:55:02.279
<v Speaker 1>which is money. That's the businesses. And so we have

0:55:02.280 --> 0:55:05.960
<v Speaker 1>all these businesses that are pushing these woke ideologies, the disneys,

0:55:06.000 --> 0:55:09.680
<v Speaker 1>go woke, go broke, you know Netflix, Netflix pushing their movies,

0:55:09.800 --> 0:55:13.239
<v Speaker 1>or you've got t mobile what we can all day.

0:55:13.280 --> 0:55:16.560
<v Speaker 1>You get the point. But where do people spend their

0:55:16.600 --> 0:55:19.960
<v Speaker 1>money if they don't align with that? And we're seeing

0:55:20.360 --> 0:55:23.000
<v Speaker 1>businesses pop up and and the best example I have

0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:27.680
<v Speaker 1>is Ben Shapiro so with Daily Wire, right and and

0:55:27.719 --> 0:55:30.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean just look at this right, So, uh, Ben

0:55:30.280 --> 0:55:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Shapiro started Daily Wire. Now they're doing a couple of things. One,

0:55:33.160 --> 0:55:37.080
<v Speaker 1>they're creating movies that are anti woke movies. So people

0:55:37.120 --> 0:55:40.360
<v Speaker 1>now have another option to spend their money. The best example,

0:55:40.360 --> 0:55:43.800
<v Speaker 1>which you were probably thinking of, is Harry's Razors. I

0:55:43.880 --> 0:55:49.280
<v Speaker 1>mean it is just like, well Harry's Razors. Harry's Razor

0:55:49.440 --> 0:55:51.840
<v Speaker 1>was their sponsor and they were a woke company. And

0:55:51.880 --> 0:55:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Ben Shapiro says, he's like really mean things. He's like

0:55:53.920 --> 0:55:56.360
<v Speaker 1>this angry guy and he said that men can't get pregnant,

0:55:56.719 --> 0:55:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and Harry's Razors was all mad and they said, you

0:55:58.520 --> 0:56:00.319
<v Speaker 1>retrack that, or we're gonna pull our sponsor a ship,

0:56:00.320 --> 0:56:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and he said, you know what, actually take your sponsorship.

0:56:02.880 --> 0:56:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna start Jeremy's Razors. And the whole website is

0:56:05.400 --> 0:56:08.680
<v Speaker 1>we're just an anti woke company basically, and they're crushing it.

0:56:09.680 --> 0:56:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Good question. And we have you know, we have my pillow,

0:56:11.920 --> 0:56:14.880
<v Speaker 1>we got you know, black Rifle coffee. You know, uh,

0:56:15.040 --> 0:56:16.319
<v Speaker 1>we you know, we can we we can look at

0:56:16.320 --> 0:56:19.880
<v Speaker 1>different examples we got uh now there's like my Patriot mobile.

0:56:20.160 --> 0:56:22.000
<v Speaker 1>You talked about this anti E s G fund which

0:56:22.040 --> 0:56:25.879
<v Speaker 1>is Strive Asset Management, and so we're starting to see that, right,

0:56:26.480 --> 0:56:30.000
<v Speaker 1>And UM, I'm curious your perspective. One, do you see

0:56:30.080 --> 0:56:32.320
<v Speaker 1>that as a big problem in a big opportunity that

0:56:32.360 --> 0:56:36.080
<v Speaker 1>if there's this vacuum and then to um do you

0:56:36.120 --> 0:56:39.360
<v Speaker 1>see that? And then too, I looking at Harry's and

0:56:39.440 --> 0:56:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy's Razors, and I know you're like this big Amazon

0:56:42.600 --> 0:56:45.240
<v Speaker 1>guy branding products and building them out through But Jeremy

0:56:45.320 --> 0:56:46.880
<v Speaker 1>is a friend of mine. I'm going to visit him

0:56:46.920 --> 0:56:49.319
<v Speaker 1>in a few weeks down done in Nashville. So, I mean,

0:56:50.000 --> 0:56:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I completely aligned with where they're going. But it seems

0:56:52.920 --> 0:56:56.399
<v Speaker 1>like this opportunity is so big that like I could

0:56:56.440 --> 0:56:59.799
<v Speaker 1>almost just take any product off Amazon top seller and

0:56:59.800 --> 0:57:04.240
<v Speaker 1>just rebrand it and probably fill a pretty big void boom.

0:57:04.280 --> 0:57:06.680
<v Speaker 1>So this is this, this, this is where you're something.

0:57:08.160 --> 0:57:10.560
<v Speaker 1>You're hitting something really beautiful here. So I wrote a book.

0:57:10.600 --> 0:57:12.799
<v Speaker 1>It's called Twelve Months to one Million. It's basically the

0:57:12.800 --> 0:57:16.240
<v Speaker 1>playbook for building a million dollar business in about twelve months,

0:57:16.280 --> 0:57:18.680
<v Speaker 1>broken down into you know, the step by step formula.

0:57:19.000 --> 0:57:22.280
<v Speaker 1>But the first step in there is choose your who.

0:57:22.640 --> 0:57:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Decide who your customer is going to be, not what

0:57:24.600 --> 0:57:27.680
<v Speaker 1>product you're gonna sell, not what your mission statement is,

0:57:27.840 --> 0:57:31.600
<v Speaker 1>but who it's for. What Jeremy Boring at Jeremy's Razors

0:57:31.600 --> 0:57:34.880
<v Speaker 1>did so beautifully is they already have a very clear who.

0:57:35.160 --> 0:57:39.680
<v Speaker 1>It's based on values. It's based on the underserved. It's

0:57:39.960 --> 0:57:41.800
<v Speaker 1>those who don't feel like they have a voice or

0:57:41.840 --> 0:57:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a place to put their dollars right now. And they said,

0:57:44.400 --> 0:57:46.640
<v Speaker 1>all right, great, we'll start with Razors. We'll go here

0:57:46.760 --> 0:57:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and we will serve the people who match our values.

0:57:49.440 --> 0:57:51.920
<v Speaker 1>What's beautiful about that is we can do this with anything.

0:57:51.920 --> 0:57:54.040
<v Speaker 1>We can do this with coffee. Black refle coffee did

0:57:54.120 --> 0:57:56.400
<v Speaker 1>exactly the same thing. We can do this with toys.

0:57:56.680 --> 0:57:59.960
<v Speaker 1>We could do those, We can fellows, we can, We

0:58:00.080 --> 0:58:02.959
<v Speaker 1>can do it with any commodity because for the first

0:58:02.960 --> 0:58:06.600
<v Speaker 1>time in history, we care about the values behind our

0:58:06.640 --> 0:58:09.240
<v Speaker 1>decisions and where our dollar is going as much as

0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:11.840
<v Speaker 1>we care about the product itself, if not more. I

0:58:11.960 --> 0:58:15.400
<v Speaker 1>was just I had dinner two days ago with somebody

0:58:15.440 --> 0:58:20.360
<v Speaker 1>who has a basically controls an audience of several million people,

0:58:20.840 --> 0:58:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and they have a very Christian audience, like Board again

0:58:25.000 --> 0:58:28.680
<v Speaker 1>conservative Christian audience, and we were basically brainstorming what a

0:58:28.720 --> 0:58:31.200
<v Speaker 1>food brand would look like because a lot of times

0:58:31.240 --> 0:58:35.920
<v Speaker 1>are dollars go to Kraft Hynds, or they go to Starbucks,

0:58:35.960 --> 0:58:38.200
<v Speaker 1>they go to snack companies that we don't agree with.

0:58:38.560 --> 0:58:41.360
<v Speaker 1>But if you had a food brand that what had

0:58:41.440 --> 0:58:45.560
<v Speaker 1>a very clear mission for a clear person, you get

0:58:45.600 --> 0:58:49.160
<v Speaker 1>that audience. And so so my answer to your question,

0:58:49.320 --> 0:58:51.800
<v Speaker 1>like what do we do about this, I say start businesses.

0:58:52.160 --> 0:58:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Start businesses for the people that you want to serve.

0:58:54.640 --> 0:58:57.360
<v Speaker 1>You likely want to serve people just like you. Great,

0:58:57.720 --> 0:59:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that makes for a very fun vision in filled exciting,

0:59:01.240 --> 0:59:04.080
<v Speaker 1>profitable company because all we need to do is pick

0:59:04.160 --> 0:59:07.440
<v Speaker 1>the person that we serve and then carve out, you know,

0:59:07.480 --> 0:59:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the three to five products that that person buys or

0:59:11.920 --> 0:59:16.280
<v Speaker 1>wants to buy and sell them consistently. Because four products

0:59:16.320 --> 0:59:18.800
<v Speaker 1>that sell twenty five sales atday at a thirty dollar

0:59:18.840 --> 0:59:21.400
<v Speaker 1>price point is a million dollar business. We just need

0:59:21.440 --> 0:59:24.680
<v Speaker 1>to fill in those variables, and it starts with choosing who.

0:59:24.800 --> 0:59:27.440
<v Speaker 1>And the beauty of what you're talking about is we

0:59:27.480 --> 0:59:30.760
<v Speaker 1>can choose just about any product. Jeremy just posted how

0:59:30.840 --> 0:59:33.320
<v Speaker 1>he wants to start a whiskey company now because the

0:59:33.320 --> 0:59:36.640
<v Speaker 1>whiskey companies are going woke and it's just a great

0:59:36.680 --> 0:59:41.040
<v Speaker 1>example of that values sell product and so if you

0:59:41.120 --> 0:59:43.240
<v Speaker 1>believe in these things, you can start a business for

0:59:43.320 --> 0:59:46.360
<v Speaker 1>exactly those types of people. People will push against you

0:59:46.400 --> 0:59:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and people will choose to love you, and that I

0:59:49.000 --> 0:59:51.520
<v Speaker 1>think is the opportunity. Now you have woke businesses, you'll

0:59:51.520 --> 0:59:53.760
<v Speaker 1>have anti woke businesses, and people will be able to

0:59:53.840 --> 0:59:56.560
<v Speaker 1>vote with their dollars because we have different options that

0:59:56.640 --> 0:59:59.640
<v Speaker 1>align with our values. I think that is the opportunity

0:59:59.720 --> 1:00:01.840
<v Speaker 1>for a about the next ten years to build a

1:00:01.920 --> 1:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>multimillion dollar business. Given if you don't have a good idea,

1:00:04.640 --> 1:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>even if you don't have experience, even you don't have

1:00:06.400 --> 1:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>a marketing budget, even you don't have VC capital, Like

1:00:09.520 --> 1:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that is the opportunity for the next decade

1:00:13.120 --> 1:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>if we can what I literally we could call that

1:00:14.640 --> 1:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>capitalism agenda, Mark, we can we can just call that

1:00:18.840 --> 1:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that's the agenda. That's the opportunity because many people as

1:00:21.200 --> 1:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>rich as possible before. And what I love about it, Ryan,

1:00:25.560 --> 1:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>is that not only is it a massive opportunity, so um,

1:00:28.880 --> 1:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, uh I. I was doing an interview with

1:00:35.200 --> 1:00:38.240
<v Speaker 1>my buddy George Gammon the other day and uh he

1:00:38.280 --> 1:00:40.480
<v Speaker 1>has a very similar channel to my my channel, and

1:00:40.600 --> 1:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I was asking him why, you know why all these

1:00:43.360 --> 1:00:49.760
<v Speaker 1>videos are like fear porn, you know? And uhah, whatever, right,

1:00:49.800 --> 1:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's like the world's gonna blow up, here's what

1:00:52.280 --> 1:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>you gonna do, right, And it's like these fear porn

1:00:54.160 --> 1:00:56.800
<v Speaker 1>videos work out good. And and somebody messaged me DM

1:00:56.880 --> 1:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>me on Twitter. I think, um and they said, you

1:00:59.800 --> 1:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>know that that that that that question has been just

1:01:02.080 --> 1:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>repeated in my mind over and over and I've just

1:01:03.960 --> 1:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>been thinking about it. Why do I like fear born

1:01:05.440 --> 1:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah, and he wrote me this long answer

1:01:08.000 --> 1:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>and basically summarized and he said, look, I'm a midillennial. Uh,

1:01:11.440 --> 1:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the economy has been ruined by these baby boomers real

1:01:13.600 --> 1:01:16.320
<v Speaker 1>estates too expensive socks or two overvalued. I don't have

1:01:16.400 --> 1:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a chance. I have nowhere to get in. I'm broke,

1:01:19.480 --> 1:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>and I guess I just rooting for the world to crash,

1:01:21.440 --> 1:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>so I have an opportunity to get back in. And

1:01:23.400 --> 1:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>it was interesting. It was like this really long message

1:01:25.800 --> 1:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and I and I was like, you know what, I

1:01:27.200 --> 1:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that long message. I'm gonna write him a long

1:01:28.960 --> 1:01:30.960
<v Speaker 1>message back. And I wrote him a long message. I said, look,

1:01:30.960 --> 1:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I understand your viewpoint. But look man,

1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>there's plenty of opportunity you can you can make a

1:01:36.000 --> 1:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>million because he said he said, if I found somebody

1:01:38.360 --> 1:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that was behind this, I'd put all my might and

1:01:41.080 --> 1:01:42.960
<v Speaker 1>being into it. And so I said, hey, you said

1:01:43.000 --> 1:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>you would put all your might and being into it.

1:01:44.840 --> 1:01:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Would you put all your might and being into creating

1:01:46.960 --> 1:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>a million dollar business in the next twelve months, because

1:01:48.720 --> 1:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>you totally could. Here's how, And I said, step by

1:01:51.360 --> 1:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>step by step, like five steps. So what I love

1:01:53.400 --> 1:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>about is like this is a potential opportunity for all

1:01:55.480 --> 1:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>these people who feel disenfranchise. There's massive opportunity here. But

1:01:58.360 --> 1:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>what I like even better is is this group specifically

1:02:01.520 --> 1:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>these values and maybe these are more of my people

1:02:03.840 --> 1:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>than your people. But these people that see this these

1:02:06.560 --> 1:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>problems coming, like hey this this health passport movement system

1:02:10.560 --> 1:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>could be coming. Hey, this e s G to restrict

1:02:12.880 --> 1:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>movement could be coming. And I could start a business

1:02:15.920 --> 1:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to counter that, and I can allow people to then

1:02:18.400 --> 1:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>vote with their money to choose and show to people

1:02:20.720 --> 1:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>which one they want. And so not only is an

1:02:23.320 --> 1:02:25.640
<v Speaker 1>opportunity for me to go make money, but for me

1:02:26.080 --> 1:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and and maybe we we only get here once we've

1:02:28.280 --> 1:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>made enough money. But making enough money isn't isn't it

1:02:31.240 --> 1:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>isn't isn't my objective anymore? Right, It's like, can I

1:02:34.240 --> 1:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>make money and affect change the way I want to

1:02:36.320 --> 1:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>affect change? And so I think that gives people the

1:02:38.400 --> 1:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>opportunity where they can one make money but also affect

1:02:41.600 --> 1:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>real change. According to the world view, if you don't

1:02:43.880 --> 1:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>want to see the world going woke, then do something

1:02:46.640 --> 1:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>about it. The opportunity and the solution at the same time. Yes,

1:02:50.080 --> 1:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>And the interesting thing there is that if you stand

1:02:52.240 --> 1:02:55.080
<v Speaker 1>for something, you will end up making much more money

1:02:55.400 --> 1:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>than if you just have a lifeless, purposeless, visionless business.

1:02:59.760 --> 1:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>So if if you were to start, if you could

1:03:02.880 --> 1:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>at least pretend that you didn't have a money problem,

1:03:06.600 --> 1:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and you could start the business with the vision and

1:03:08.920 --> 1:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the values alignment first, you would become wealthier than if

1:03:13.320 --> 1:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>you had just started trying to grasp for money in

1:03:16.400 --> 1:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the first place. And and these are the types of

1:03:19.000 --> 1:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>businesses that exit too, because you know when when Dollar

1:03:23.920 --> 1:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Shape Club exited to uh To, you know Uni lever A,

1:03:28.520 --> 1:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Uni Lever Gilette, when Dollar Shavee Club had its exit.

1:03:32.960 --> 1:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>If you read, if you read the PR statement about

1:03:35.440 --> 1:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>why it was acquired, it was about the customer base.

1:03:38.280 --> 1:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>It was because there was a brand new customer base.

1:03:40.200 --> 1:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>It was the young It was mostly the young male

1:03:43.360 --> 1:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>who was who was not buying from Gillette. They were

1:03:47.560 --> 1:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>buying from Dollar Shape Cub because it was it was

1:03:50.240 --> 1:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the commercial was our razors are fn great, But it

1:03:53.720 --> 1:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>was it was that market rather than are our parents

1:03:58.640 --> 1:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Gillette brand? And they knew that they could plug in

1:04:02.920 --> 1:04:05.920
<v Speaker 1>different variables and different products into that same suite of

1:04:05.960 --> 1:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>customers because they were targeting a person not just selling

1:04:08.880 --> 1:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>a product. And so when you have build a business

1:04:11.800 --> 1:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>that's based on values and attracts a specific type of who,

1:04:15.520 --> 1:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you not only get launched the profitability faster because you're

1:04:19.600 --> 1:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>speaking directly to a person, You not only get recurring customers,

1:04:23.640 --> 1:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>You not only are able to charge a higher price

1:04:26.080 --> 1:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>point because people are voting with their dollars, but you're

1:04:28.240 --> 1:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>actually putting yourself in a position to potentially sell a

1:04:31.800 --> 1:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>business to a larger firm that has a customer base

1:04:36.720 --> 1:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>that will complement that. And so the upside here of

1:04:41.040 --> 1:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>creating something that has that values alignment is many, many

1:04:45.120 --> 1:04:48.640
<v Speaker 1>millions of dollars. And I think we're only now seeing

1:04:49.040 --> 1:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of that gold rush. So I'm really glad

1:04:52.280 --> 1:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you're making that observation money. And what I what I what?

1:04:55.080 --> 1:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Elso I like to let that from a business standpoint

1:04:57.040 --> 1:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>is kind of to the point is like who are

1:04:58.720 --> 1:05:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you selling to? So typically you know, when you're selling

1:05:01.280 --> 1:05:03.840
<v Speaker 1>a product, I'm selling to you know, expecting mothers or

1:05:03.920 --> 1:05:05.840
<v Speaker 1>middle aged men, and you have to kind of figure

1:05:05.840 --> 1:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>out that avatar, who is this, where are they? What

1:05:08.560 --> 1:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>are the concerns in their head? All those things. But

1:05:10.760 --> 1:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>once you figure out for this audience. Then you could

1:05:13.400 --> 1:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>just apply that across a whole spectrum of products. Right,

1:05:18.600 --> 1:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>So that's like a way to really scale this thing up. Now,

1:05:21.760 --> 1:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>what about what about taking it to another level? And

1:05:24.840 --> 1:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>so really, when you look at a lot of these

1:05:26.280 --> 1:05:28.840
<v Speaker 1>woke companies, UM, a lot of these wold companies might

1:05:29.160 --> 1:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>put things on their website like, hey, we donate to

1:05:32.400 --> 1:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>uh BLM or Antifa or l g B d Q

1:05:35.280 --> 1:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>or whatever these whatever these things are. We want to

1:05:37.520 --> 1:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>support you know, teaching trends in elementary schools or whatever. Right,

1:05:40.360 --> 1:05:42.840
<v Speaker 1>so they have the things that they support and they're behind.

1:05:43.360 --> 1:05:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you think these uh anti woke companies or whatever

1:05:46.760 --> 1:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>would also do something similar where they would say, hey,

1:05:49.280 --> 1:05:52.440
<v Speaker 1>well we support UM keeping kids safe in school, or

1:05:52.480 --> 1:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>we support whatever something like that, some sort of elective

1:05:55.880 --> 1:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>collective action superPAC type thing. Of course, I mean we're

1:05:59.040 --> 1:06:03.840
<v Speaker 1>already starting to see that. The my kind of my story,

1:06:03.960 --> 1:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>if you will, on how politics works is when when

1:06:07.000 --> 1:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>you're in power, you're mostly satisfied, and when you're out

1:06:10.440 --> 1:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>of power, you tend to mobilize and organize. And so

1:06:13.400 --> 1:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>while Trump was president, the left did more mobilization and

1:06:17.000 --> 1:06:20.840
<v Speaker 1>so they got behind more causes the conservative side. The

1:06:21.000 --> 1:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>right is doing that now where we are starting to

1:06:23.320 --> 1:06:26.760
<v Speaker 1>organize around clauses, which is why something like a Jeremy's

1:06:26.840 --> 1:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Razors was so perfectly timed because people are voting with

1:06:29.840 --> 1:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>their dollars promote those values. So we're starting to see

1:06:33.280 --> 1:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>that happen. Where As these organizations are profiting, you see

1:06:37.520 --> 1:06:40.040
<v Speaker 1>that they're standing for something and customers want to be

1:06:40.080 --> 1:06:42.360
<v Speaker 1>a part of that story. Because they stand for something,

1:06:42.720 --> 1:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be charities that are started. There's I think

1:06:45.640 --> 1:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>that maybe a good example of this would be our

1:06:47.360 --> 1:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>friends at the Operation Underground Railroad. Right. Operation Underground Railroad

1:06:51.160 --> 1:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>is doing amazing work riscuing kids from trafficking, and you

1:06:54.480 --> 1:06:58.480
<v Speaker 1>have businesses that are making donations to support that. For example,

1:06:58.960 --> 1:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I invested in a company called Ancient Strength. They are

1:07:02.320 --> 1:07:06.520
<v Speaker 1>a protein company and they're a health company. They sell

1:07:06.720 --> 1:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>a delicious protein powder and a significant portion of their

1:07:10.640 --> 1:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>sales goes right to Operation Underground Railroad. When they do promotions,

1:07:15.080 --> 1:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>they're doing webinars to draw awareness of rescuing kids from

1:07:19.360 --> 1:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>trafficking rather than the benefits of eating protein. Right. That

1:07:23.160 --> 1:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>that is a values alignment that is starting a company

1:07:26.320 --> 1:07:29.240
<v Speaker 1>in a saturated market like who would go into a

1:07:29.280 --> 1:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>business selling protein, right, It's there's so many competitors. But

1:07:33.520 --> 1:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the founder Mark said, I want this to be more

1:07:36.120 --> 1:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>than just selling protein. I want this to stand for something.

1:07:38.200 --> 1:07:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to be a cause, like the thing that

1:07:40.720 --> 1:07:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I care about most in the world, rescuing children. So

1:07:43.480 --> 1:07:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to sell protein and give a peace to

1:07:45.600 --> 1:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>it to this cause because I have no other way

1:07:49.160 --> 1:07:51.080
<v Speaker 1>for me to make so much money that it might

1:07:51.120 --> 1:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>make a difference on this thing that matters to me

1:07:53.640 --> 1:07:58.240
<v Speaker 1>so much. So that company Ancient Strength is kind of

1:07:58.280 --> 1:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>reflecting what you're talking about. Where it is making a

1:08:00.880 --> 1:08:04.520
<v Speaker 1>statement and where they spend their money, and that is

1:08:04.560 --> 1:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>to causes that people like us tend to support, and

1:08:07.800 --> 1:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you're I think you're absolutely going to see more of that.

1:08:10.280 --> 1:08:14.479
<v Speaker 1>We just we haven't had enough time of organizing, while

1:08:14.680 --> 1:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the Left has had more time to do that. Um.

1:08:18.360 --> 1:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>It makes me think of back to stakeholder capitalism, which

1:08:22.000 --> 1:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>is kind of in direct contrast to Milton Friedman, who

1:08:25.360 --> 1:08:29.559
<v Speaker 1>basically his theory was that business should only focus on profit,

1:08:29.680 --> 1:08:33.719
<v Speaker 1>that's it, and by focusing on profit you get all

1:08:33.800 --> 1:08:36.599
<v Speaker 1>the other benefits of like philanthropy. So when I drive

1:08:36.640 --> 1:08:38.679
<v Speaker 1>by my local high school. I see all these businesses

1:08:38.720 --> 1:08:41.559
<v Speaker 1>advertising at the high school. Why, well, because they're supporting

1:08:41.560 --> 1:08:43.599
<v Speaker 1>the community. Why are the supporting the community, Well, because

1:08:44.040 --> 1:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>they hope to get more business, right, and so philanthropy

1:08:47.280 --> 1:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>profit drives philanthropy. Um and and this is a way

1:08:50.200 --> 1:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>where I think we can change the world. We can

1:08:52.000 --> 1:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>align with our values, we can make money. It's the

1:08:53.960 --> 1:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>massive opportunity. So we certainly agree on most things, and

1:08:57.240 --> 1:08:59.599
<v Speaker 1>and and again just to kind of highlight the reason

1:08:59.640 --> 1:09:01.639
<v Speaker 1>why it's important for you and I and everybody else

1:09:01.680 --> 1:09:03.320
<v Speaker 1>to have a little bit of differences of opinion is

1:09:03.360 --> 1:09:05.479
<v Speaker 1>because we just see different problems and then we come

1:09:05.560 --> 1:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>up with different solutions and we all need to be

1:09:07.439 --> 1:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>doing it and we and we and we come up

1:09:08.800 --> 1:09:11.960
<v Speaker 1>with different solutions differently. So UM, good stuff, Ryan, I

1:09:11.960 --> 1:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>think we've gone a long time. Big problem, bigger problem

1:09:16.120 --> 1:09:18.559
<v Speaker 1>for me than you either way, big problems uh and

1:09:18.560 --> 1:09:21.519
<v Speaker 1>and and big solutions. We are aligned where I see

1:09:21.600 --> 1:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>massive hope and prosperity because I am extremely bullish entrepreneurs,

1:09:25.920 --> 1:09:30.320
<v Speaker 1>extremely bullish on capitalism uh and human ingenuity um and

1:09:30.320 --> 1:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the drive for freedom. So with that, and let's let

1:09:33.120 --> 1:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>me let me honor like I I recognize that you

1:09:36.000 --> 1:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>know it's it's your show. Your audience is going to

1:09:38.439 --> 1:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>align with your view on the world much more than mine.

1:09:41.320 --> 1:09:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And I would say, if that's your take, the thing

1:09:44.360 --> 1:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you need to do in order to impact change start

1:09:47.160 --> 1:09:50.200
<v Speaker 1>a business and get rich. This like if if you

1:09:50.400 --> 1:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>be an be an owner, if you believe that there

1:09:55.160 --> 1:10:00.439
<v Speaker 1>is malintent among the leaders, then become a leader. If

1:10:00.479 --> 1:10:03.719
<v Speaker 1>you think that there is malintent among people who own

1:10:03.800 --> 1:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>businesses and make decisions, start a business, build a really

1:10:07.920 --> 1:10:11.720
<v Speaker 1>profitable one, and have your values infiltrate the rest of

1:10:11.720 --> 1:10:15.439
<v Speaker 1>the world. We give so much energy and attention to

1:10:15.800 --> 1:10:18.479
<v Speaker 1>people that we don't like and the things that they

1:10:18.520 --> 1:10:21.800
<v Speaker 1>stand for, and so little attention to how we can

1:10:21.840 --> 1:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>spread our own values and do something about it. We

1:10:24.840 --> 1:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>give so little attention and focus to creating something that

1:10:29.080 --> 1:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>is response to the things that we don't want to

1:10:31.040 --> 1:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>see in the world and creating the vision that we

1:10:33.120 --> 1:10:36.400
<v Speaker 1>want to see. Whereas I say, as we if we

1:10:36.439 --> 1:10:39.639
<v Speaker 1>give all of our attention to creating a difference, then

1:10:39.680 --> 1:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>we won't ever have to worry about governments or big

1:10:43.360 --> 1:10:47.880
<v Speaker 1>powers or organizations, because we'll be so busy creating something

1:10:47.920 --> 1:10:50.519
<v Speaker 1>bigger than what than what they could take that, they

1:10:50.560 --> 1:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>won't be able to stop us. So I say, if

1:10:53.320 --> 1:10:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you are more in alignment with Mark's view of things,

1:10:57.000 --> 1:10:59.639
<v Speaker 1>the best thing you can do is to create something

1:11:00.040 --> 1:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>that matches your values, that creates something for those types

1:11:03.439 --> 1:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>of customers to get fabulously wealthy, doing so in the

1:11:06.360 --> 1:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>process and infecting change every step of the way. Yeah,

1:11:10.640 --> 1:11:12.960
<v Speaker 1>uh said in a short way is stop being a

1:11:13.040 --> 1:11:15.920
<v Speaker 1>victim and go create the world you want. All right?

1:11:16.040 --> 1:11:20.760
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, great stuff, Ryan, I enjoyed every minute of this.

1:11:20.840 --> 1:11:23.479
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for debating me, for having me,

1:11:23.680 --> 1:11:26.920
<v Speaker 1>for talking about for for standing for values of capitalism

1:11:27.000 --> 1:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and freedom and money and investing. Thank you for what

1:11:30.840 --> 1:11:33.479
<v Speaker 1>you're doing. Thank you for having me on. Yeah, thank you.

1:11:33.520 --> 1:11:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Thank you to you as well. Um. If I do

1:11:36.800 --> 1:11:38.880
<v Speaker 1>know that that own nothing to be be happy came from

1:11:38.880 --> 1:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the story, but I'd get it. But if you believe

1:11:41.200 --> 1:11:42.719
<v Speaker 1>that that's their goal, to own nothing to be happy,

1:11:42.720 --> 1:11:46.320
<v Speaker 1>then become an owner, own your business, own your assets.

1:11:46.479 --> 1:11:48.760
<v Speaker 1>And this is the way that you do it, and

1:11:48.880 --> 1:11:50.840
<v Speaker 1>uh do it do it through business. Um. All right,

1:11:50.840 --> 1:11:52.679
