So let me just say 82 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: it as I said it to you once before and 83 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: to your audience. To be black and beautiful in this 84 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: world means nothing unless you're black and powerful. White folks 85 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: are planning for three generations, and we're planning for Saturday night. 86 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: So the goal is to win, not to look like 87 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: we're winning. Right. I would rather carry a plastic bag 88 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: with five thousand dollars anything to carry a five thousand 89 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: dollar Louis v Don bag with a hundred dollars in it. 90 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: It is interesting to me, Rashwan, the rich day rich 91 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: by pretending to be poor, and the poor stay poor 92 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: by pretending to be rich. And if we do not 93 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: change our activities, if we do not change our understanding 94 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: of capitalism and investment in the twenty one century, we 95 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: are headed into a second slavery and we have to 96 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: fix this. It was the great um Uh dr Amos 97 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: Wilson you can see his videos on YouTube, who said 98 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: our refusal as black people to confront the issue of 99 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: money and wealth is going to end up with our 100 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: very lives being threatened as people on this earth. So 101 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: we have to get our act together and we have 102 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: to become financially educated. When you say financially educated, what 103 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: do you mean? When I say financial education, I mean 104 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: learning the rules and the game of capitalism. It it 105 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: is educating ourselves around all of the elements that drive 106 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: capitalism and how we can leverage those opportunities and build 107 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: assets beyond the very conservative ways that we have built 108 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: assets over the last two generations. And what I'm what 109 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: I'm suggesting is that we really need to look in 110 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: the latest opportunity of cryptocurrency. Because cryptocurrency is something that 111 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: I I hear a lot, I'm gonna I know nothing 112 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: about from a standpoint of how I can participate because 113 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: it feels very foreign to me, and it feels like 114 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: it's not a valid currency because I'm so used to 115 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: put my money in the bank. I'm so used to 116 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: going to the stock market. I'm so businessly buying a 117 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: home or buying a car. When I hear word cryptocurrency, 118 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: what what is blocking me? What information am I missing 119 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: that I'm not participating in? Dr Frasier, Well, I think 120 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: the first question that we have to ask ourselves so 121 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: that we will, we will be motivated to take an 122 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: interest in to take a deep dive into study. What 123 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: this whole cryptocurrency movement is about is we've got to 124 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: ask why crypto? Why crypto? And not you know, savings 125 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: accounts by the s c d S, mutual funds for 126 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: all one case and stock markets, the SMP five market, 127 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: real estate and gold. Right, those are the things that 128 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: we understand. Those are the things are hard and paper assets, 129 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: and those are the things that we're comfortable with, but 130 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: they're not going to allow us to get economic equity. 131 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: And what I mean by economic equity, Uh, the race 132 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: in which those assets pay us are not allow us 133 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: to close the income and wealth gap between black folk 134 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: and white folk. Right, white folks have ten times the 135 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: household median wealth as as black people. So we've got 136 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: to do some things that will help us close this gap. 137 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: And we've got to think outside of the box where 138 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: guess we're going to have to take some risks. Uh, 139 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: there's no question about that, but no risk, no reward. 140 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: We have got to find ways uh rashon to leverage 141 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: and compound the stacked and assets that we have. These 142 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: assets are stagnant, there there's the small percentage of interest 143 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: that we're making on Let's say, let's look at some 144 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: interest rates on some of the traditional investments that black 145 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: folks have made historically, including myself. Savings accounts. All right, 146 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: they're very, very safe, but the annual interest rate on 147 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: a savings account is a half a percent. That's not 148 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: even keeping up with inflation. So a half a percent 149 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: annually on your money. I just got a document from 150 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: a good friend who had eighty nine thousand dollars and 151 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: Wells Fargo in his savings account, and he wanted me 152 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: to see it because I was talking about it, and 153 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: he showed me his uh December the U statement of 154 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: this interest he rate he earned on eighty nine thou dollars. 155 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. Earned seventy six cents on eighty 156 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars in a year from Wells Fargo. Do 157 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: you know how much Wells Fargo made on his eighty 158 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars And he only made seventy six cents. Now, 159 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: it's safe, there's no question about that. The FED, the 160 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: f D i C protects you in case the bank 161 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: goes down, but it's gonna take your thirty years to 162 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: get your money back. That's on average what it takes 163 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: if something if a bank fails and you and you're 164 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: protected by f D I C. But most importantly, you're 165 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: only you're only earning less than a half a percent 166 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: a year on your heart earned money. The principle is 167 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: to put your money to work harder for you than 168 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: you did for it. Take a five year c D. 169 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: A five year c D certificate of deposited only pays 170 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: one third of a penny, right, one third zero point 171 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: three one annually. Right, that's less than a savings account. 172 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: Mutual fund pays you about ten to four percent annually 173 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: on average. Four one K about ten to eleven percent annually. 174 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: The stock market about nine point two percent annually. UH 175 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: the SMP five market if you're if you're investing in 176 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: the best stocks, is about thirteen point six percent annually. 177 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: Real estate pays ten to eleven percent annually, and gold 178 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: if you invest in goal is about ten point six 179 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: percent annual. So let me tell you what I've done 180 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: with crypto in just nine months. I started in the 181 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: crypto space after studying it for a year, and I 182 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: started by entering one opportunity, one platform after studying that platform. 183 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: All right. So I started my crypto journey nine months ago. 184 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: This is the truth. I could show it to you, 185 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: I could verify it. I started with about ten thousand 186 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: dollars in cash. Where did I take it? I took 187 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: it from my savings account, which was paying me a 188 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: little or nothing less. Yeah, yeah, absolutely not, not less 189 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: than five percent, less than a half a percent. Apologize, 190 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: I'm giving it too much credit, less than a half 191 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: of this cent, all right. So I started with ten 192 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: thousand dollars cash, which I took from my savings account, 193 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: which would pay me less than a half a percent, 194 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: of which I had sixty tho dollars in because we 195 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: were always taught to say for a rainy day, right, 196 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: that was my rainy day money. I took ten thousand 197 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: dollars cash out of that. In January of this year, 198 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: I invested in a a crypto platform call for Sage, 199 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: which was really an ethereum. Uh. You know, there's etherium, 200 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: there's bitcoin. Bitcoin is the is uh is the number 201 00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: one cryptocurrency and ethereum is the number two cryptocurrency. Bitcoin 202 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: is it about forty six thousand dollars of coin and 203 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: Ethereum today is about thirty four thousand dollars a coin. 204 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: But when I invested in it um, let's see nine 205 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: months ago. No, it's actually a little bit more than that, 206 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: about twelve months ago. But a year ago Etherium was 207 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: a hundred and ninety seven dollars a coin. Today. Okay, okay, okay, 208 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: doctor you about to give me man now. Now you 209 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: just say it is thirty four thousand dollars a coin, 210 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: and you invested when it was a hundred dollars a coin, right, 211 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: that's what you're just saying. Well, you know on ethereum. 212 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: Ethereum is thirty four hundred dollars a coin. I invested 213 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: in it about a year ago when it was a 214 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety seven dollars a coin, and my investment 215 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: today is worth eighty seven thousand dollars cash money. Then 216 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: I invested in my second platform, this is no PS 217 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: for Sean and was called cash. It was called CFX 218 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: all cash FX. That was an investment in the foreign 219 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: exchange market. You get in with bitcoin, you get and 220 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: you get paid in bitcoin. I invested seven thousand dollars 221 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: in CFX. Today my seven thousand dollars is worth nineties 222 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: six thousand dollars. My third investment was in hyper fund, 223 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: which is investment in the crypto ecosystem, and that investment 224 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: I invested about five thousand dollars. That investment is worth 225 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars. Right. So when you look at the 226 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: money that I invested about ten thousand dollars, right, I 227 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: have earned two hundred and thirty six thousand dollars or 228 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: a twenty four hundred percent return on my investment in 229 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: less than a year. That's that's on the market that 230 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: I said earlier that I have a few to sit 231 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: down to learn about. And that's what so many African 232 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: Americans are. People are color or minoritiests are refusing to 233 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: educate themselves. And that's why I really started this show 234 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: because I wanted to start. I want to engage more people, 235 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: Dr Fraser, because my fears shouldn't be your fear.

Might make Conversations a platform I created to 285 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: supply everybody with information, not just a few people. The 286 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: problem with this world, especially in the minority community, is 287 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: that information is kind of like precious. You know, a 288 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 1: few people get it and don't want to share. And 289 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: what I've what I've been doing for the longest, since 290 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: I started by making Conversation in seventeen, is to bring 291 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: individuals on. I have ash cash. He's owned. After this, 292 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: after this break, he's gonna be on the show in 293 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: studio talking about motivating people to success. But I felt 294 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: there was no one that could do it better. It 295 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: started today with Dr George C. Fraser, because that's a 296 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: certain honesty about him. Plus, you know, he's been through decades. 297 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: You know, you want somebody to have been through a 298 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: lot of decades. He's been through the Civil Rights decade, 299 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: he had been through the Big Afro decades. He had 300 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: been through seventy seven absolutely decades. I've something after that, 301 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: I made a lot of mistakes. I failed my way 302 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: to success. But I was curious. I was, and that's 303 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: the key. And you've got to be intellectually curious. You 304 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: gotta do their study, take the deep dive so that 305 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: you to do some critical thinking and then, as Bernie 306 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: macauld say, bust the damn move. Do something different, you know. 307 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: And an interesting thing about that, Dr Georgey Fraser, is 308 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: that we know when I listened listen to you. First 309 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: of all, people are always worried about their age. And 310 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: I always say that the top of my show, because 311 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: I really didn't find out who I was until I 312 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: was in my forties. Accept the responsibility of what I 313 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: could accomplish, you know, because a lot of people waiting 314 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: for this magic hit fifty, they just stop and it 315 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: hit sixty, and they think the government is going to 316 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: take care of them with something in retirement, and we 317 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: all know that's a lot that's worse than the interest rate. 318 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: And so the reason I've always looked at you because 319 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: you remain topical and it's not like you're trying to 320 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: be young, just like I'm not trying to be young. 321 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: But the information you always gave my audience and me 322 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: was so relevant. What would guide you down that line 323 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: of being saying, you know something, I'm just I'm just 324 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: a sponge, but I'm not going to act like I 325 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: know more, but I want to share more. Talk about 326 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: you for a little bit. Yeah, you know. My goal 327 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: is to give back the knowledge that the Creator has 328 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: allowed me to learn, that He has poured into me, 329 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: that I have learned, and my moral responsibility and spiritual 330 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: responsibility is to give it back because that is the 331 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: purpose of life. Brashan, The purpose of life is very simple. 332 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: God doesn't make anything complicated. We make things complicated. We 333 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: make things complicated so we don't have to do it. 334 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: The more complicated we make it, the more reasons we 335 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: have and not doing it. And we make things complicated 336 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: to control power. If I am the only one that 337 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: knows a certain thing, and I have power over you. 338 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: So my job is to keep it simple and to 339 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: share it. That is the reason God has given me 340 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: more and more information, because the more He gives me, 341 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: the more I share, and that is concluent with the 342 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: purpose of life. The purpose of life is very simple. 343 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: It is to love, to give, to serve, and to 344 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: add the I is value to somebody or something every 345 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: single minute of every single day. That is why we 346 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: are living. There is no other reason for you to 347 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: be sucking up this good a. It's loving, giving, serving 348 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: and adding value. So I want to add value. I 349 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: want to get to heaven, right, and I'm going to 350 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: get to heaven by giving away. When I see this 351 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: metaphorically giving away that which I have been given so 352 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: that it can be leveraged and more about people can 353 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: benefit from the assets and the knowledge, uh, and and 354 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: the successes that I have achieved. That's really what it's 355 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: all about. That's that's really uh. Let me give you 356 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: a metaphor, but it's called teamwork. Okay, let me give 357 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: you a metaphor. This is a one and it's a 358 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: true story. I'm gonna ask you a question, simple question. 359 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: Who holds the world records for one hundreds? Who holds 360 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: the world record for one hundred? The answer to that 361 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: is the same both from Jamaica. Right was saying, right, 362 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: he did it at nine point five eight seconds. He 363 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: holds the world record four hundred meters at nine point 364 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: five eight seconds. Now, the next question is who owns 365 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: the four by one hundred relay world record. Who holds that. 366 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: It is the Jamaican track team, the men's Jamaican track team, 367 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: of which you say Boat runs on. They finished the 368 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: four by one hundred and thirty six point eight four seconds. Now, 369 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: if you do your math, that's nine point to one 370 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: seconds or thirty one seconds faster than the world record. 371 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: And Hussein Boat was on that relay team and they 372 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: ran four one hundred meters faster than he ran a 373 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: single one hundred meters. So what does that mean? That 374 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: means when we work together, when we collaborate eight, when 375 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: we share, when we share, when we run together, none 376 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: of us is as good as all of us put together. 377 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: So we've got to run together. We've got to run 378 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: is one that means we have to share. If I 379 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: have good knowledge and good information, I will share it 380 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: with you. If you want to do something I'm doing, 381 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: I make it easy for you to do that. Dr Frasier, 382 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: we have a call here.

Well, 395 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: I think the nut The number one thing that Black 396 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: folks have to focus on in the twenty one century 397 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: is building wealth that will come through financial literacy and 398 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,719 Speaker 1: financial education. What's the first thing slaves day when they 399 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: became free, they saw building small schools or classrooms, and 400 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: small schools and larger schools and there within hudrogen as 401 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: we had an entire system of historically black colleges and university. 402 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: So education, education, that's the number one priority. Is financial 403 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: education that will lead to building wealth and closing the 404 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: income and wealth gap and then ultimately creating working jobs 405 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: for our people as hopefully we will become the number 406 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: one employer of our own people by the end of 407 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: the twenty one century, which means that we also have 408 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: to engage in business building. So if I was to 409 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: categorize under the headline of financial education and economic development, 410 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: under the headline which is number one, that's that's the 411 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: number one thing under that headline would be business building, 412 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: business building, and then number two would be um uh, 413 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:39,239 Speaker 1: taking advantage of the newest economic opportunity for closing the 414 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: income and wealth gap, and that is cryptocurrency.

But 633 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: the thing I like about you because the reason I 634 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: brought you on the show with George Georgie Fraser, Dr 635 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: Georgie Fraser's that he's a technical guy. So sometimes you 636 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: can get lost in his technical, technical style of teaching 637 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 1: where you are a common senstem and no, no, no negative, 638 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: Dr Georgie Fraser, but you break it down, it's such 639 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: a common natural way that doesn't throw fear in the 640 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: people talk about that. Yeah, you know, it's it's it's 641 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: funny because you mentioned that was a fifteen year banking executive. 642 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: So first and all, once I grew up in the projects, right, um, 643 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: and so growing up in the projects, really didn't have 644 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: money hustler you know, you know, packing bags at AID, 645 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: doing selling mixtapes and T shirts. So I know that 646 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: entrepreneur life. But I was fortunate to get into banking, 647 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: and I started at nineteen years old and did everything 648 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: in banking from personal banker, private banker, branch manag just 649 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: see over credit Union, right. And when I realized when 650 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 1: I was a private bank I was meaning your money 651 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: for wealthy individuals and they had a team. But then 652 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 1: I thought about my people back at home, and I said, 653 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: we don't even got one person teachings about money. So 654 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: I said, you know, in the words of the honorable 655 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: Seawan called to jay Z, there's much bigger issues in 656 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: the world, I know, But I first had to take 657 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: care of the world. I know. And so for me, 658 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: I said, listen, if I'm a guy who's from the neighborhood, 659 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: I understand hip hop and understand the language. I understand, 660 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, what we need from our community.

Yes, yeah, yeah, 696 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 1: when that came out, I'm gonna let ask cash talk. 697 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: But we're in the same way you scheme, I said, 698 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: I've never used the word scheme playing in my financial future. 699 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: I can afraid that somebody goes the logo coming through 700 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 1: the back door in the front door. Well, I don't 701 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: do that, hustle though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not better either. 702 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 1: That's not better either. UM. You know, the here's the 703 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: here's the thing, um is that um, you know, focus 704 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 1: on what you really want to focus on, um, and 705 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: not necessarily the money aspect of it, right, because like 706 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: you said, you have the nine to five right, and 707 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: then now you're trying to find another way to create 708 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: passive income. I have been in that same before, and 709 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: I have been in your spot where I was tritting 710 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: different things for my in and this in and that. 711 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: And the thing that happened was I said, you know what, 712 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 1: forget the money, right, meaning that if I'm only chasing 713 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: money and I am wasting my time because money is 714 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: gonna come and go, You're gonna realize that money is 715 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: gonna come and go. But if you chase after something 716 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: that you are aligned with, not hustling, right, not a scheme, 717 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: But I want you to be aligned with what you're 718 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,879 Speaker 1: doing right, So I'll give you an example. So for me, 719 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 1: I said, hey, I want to educate people. But me 720 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: educating people? I said, how am I gonna pay I'm married, 721 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: I got two kids. How am I gonna pay the 722 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: bills by just educating? But my passion? I was going 723 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 1: to inner city schools. I was teaching financial literacy, and 724 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: I said, how can I turn my passion into a business, right, 725 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: not a side hustle, not a scheme, but actual business? 726 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 1: And then I said, oh, let me write a book. 727 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: Then I said, let me go, you know, go to 728 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: schools and and become a speaker. Let me go correct, right, 729 00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 1: And I think that that's what you need to find 730 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: out first and foremost is what are you passionate about? 731 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 1: And does that passion feel a need? And how can 732 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 1: you feel that need. Once you do that and you 733 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: start making money, then let's start talking about how we 734 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,760 Speaker 1: could take that money, like Dr Fraser said, and start 735 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,919 Speaker 1: investing it in different vehicles so that money could grow. 736 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 1: But first, but if you but if you're after the money. First, 737 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: I personally wouldn't say to do that. I would say, 738 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,879 Speaker 1: find that passion. Find how you that passing could feel 739 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: a need. And once you have that need, feel that 740 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: you start making money from it. Now take some of 741 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: that money and start investing in other places so it 742 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: could grow. And I'm just follows up shantail money is interesting. 743 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,879 Speaker 1: Money is really interesting because it makes people make bad 744 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: decision and good decision. Okay, the bad decision is that 745 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: if you invest something that you can't lose, and a 746 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: lot of people understand that. See, you can invest if 747 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,839 Speaker 1: you if your time is valuable, which you should be, 748 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: people invest it, but they'll understand that investment that you 749 00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 1: can lose, you can't get time back. And so when 750 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: you put it out there and so so people understand 751 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: that money is the same thing. And so I run 752 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: the opportunity route too. I would tell people all the time, 753 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: I said, when I go on the grocery store, my 754 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: goal has always been I just buy what I want. 755 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: I technically don't even look at the price. Now I 756 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: do shop with coupons. If I have some coupons, I 757 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,439 Speaker 1: go in there make sure if I got to two 758 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: eggs or offers of milk or I will do that. 759 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 1: That's when I'm looking for a price. But technically I'm 760 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: just going in there. But I'm also a guy who 761 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,919 Speaker 1: will take advantage of an opportunity. And I'm just telling 762 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: you is that just reframe your thought process. Don't use 763 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 1: words like hustle, don't use words like scheme because you 764 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: need to articulate your conversation to people who appreciate the 765 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: value of a plan. And right now, just put your 766 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: plan in action. Realize your time is an investment, and 767 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: then you should outline your your time with a schedule, 768 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: and that schedule has to be consistent. And when it's consistent, 769 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, I get up at four thirty 770 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,800 Speaker 1: everyday Monday through Friday.

Money Making Conversations Dr Georgie Frasie blew it up. 863 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,840 Speaker 1: Information is available on money Making Conversation dot com about him. 864 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 1: Money Making Conversation dot Com information is available by him 865 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,319 Speaker 1: if you if you go to the contact area and 866 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,359 Speaker 1: feel that out, will definitely send the information over to him. 867 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,280 Speaker 1: Like he said, he said seven decades, he said eight 868 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 1: he said seven decades. Well, you know we're not ate decades. Yeah, 869 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,360 Speaker 1: we want to get there, but my ash cast you know, 870 00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,080 Speaker 1: like I was saying earlier, you know you're one of 871 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 1: the nations top financial educators, personal finance expert, business coach, 872 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: and motivational speakers. And that whole motivational speaking part is 873 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 1: what I want to get into right now because so 874 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,359 Speaker 1: many people want to hear the word like in church 875 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,359 Speaker 1: now they want to hear the Bible. So many people 876 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 1: want to hear how to be successful, but don't want 877 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 1: to put the work in or follow the rules of 878 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 1: the Bible. It's the same thing in the financial world 879 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 1: that you in. You people come up with you, take 880 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 1: photos with you. Man, how can I give you the 881 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,960 Speaker 1: business card? What frustrates you most when people don't do 882 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: what you're advising to do because you can't tell him 883 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 1: what you can get to advise. Yeah, yeah, I think 884 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: I think the most frustrating part is, uh, just people complaining, um, 885 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,879 Speaker 1: you know, because because here's a deal, because we all 886 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:09,680 Speaker 1: have a choice, right. Uh. Being broke is difficult. Being successful, 887 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 1: it's difficult. You just gotta choose the difficult that you want. 888 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,879 Speaker 1: And so if you choose the difficult, that says saying, 889 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be broke, I'm not gonna know how to 890 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, take care of my family. I'm gonna I'm 891 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 1: gonna worry about how to make ends meet and things 892 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 1: of that nature. And there's somebody who's taking time to 893 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,840 Speaker 1: show you, you know, how to you know, how to 894 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 1: do that, how to get to the next level of life, um, 895 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,440 Speaker 1: and just to you know, be somebody who is taking 896 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,799 Speaker 1: up that knowledge and not implementing. I think that's the 897 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,839 Speaker 1: most frustrating part because there's a lot of people out 898 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 1: there that want the information, who would love to have 899 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 1: somebody to give them the information. And so if you 900 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,200 Speaker 1: are you know, you know, wasting time, you're you're in 901 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 1: the you're in the way of somebody else who is 902 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: willing to implement UM. So other than that, I think 903 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:55,919 Speaker 1: that's the frustrating part. But the truth of the matter 904 00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 1: too is um. I also know that it doesn't happen overnight, um. 905 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 1: And so I know that there are people, um who 906 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 1: you know, what we're saying is shaking up their mindset. Right, 907 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,719 Speaker 1: Like Dr Fraser says, don't waste your time on savings. Right. 908 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 1: He didn't say that verbatim, but he's saying, listen, you 909 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,400 Speaker 1: are wasting your time on you know, if you're saving 910 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 1: your right half a percent, right, So it's not even 911 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,839 Speaker 1: one percent, it's half of a percent, right. And so 912 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: as a former fifty year banking executive, I approved that message. 913 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 1: But you gotta think, right, You gotta think in our 914 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 1: neighborhood that like, like that's what they told us, They said, 915 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,760 Speaker 1: go to go to work, work hard, save your money. 916 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 1: But if you save your money, you're losing money. And 917 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,120 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, it's a whole big paradigm 918 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,240 Speaker 1: shift that's happening. And so I get it. We're shaking 919 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 1: up people's world. That's all they knew. They grandmothers and 920 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,040 Speaker 1: and and parents are telling them safe safe, safe, safe, 921 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,839 Speaker 1: saved and not a paradigm is invest invest, invest, And 922 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,320 Speaker 1: so people might not get it on the first time. 923 00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,320 Speaker 1: And so for me, I'm happy that the conversations are happening, 924 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,759 Speaker 1: the money making conversations are happening. Uh and and I 925 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,880 Speaker 1: know eventually we gott we just gotta make it. We 926 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 1: gotta keep having a conversation until it becomes cool. Was 927 00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,359 Speaker 1: talking about the four one K. You know, your your 928 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 1: employer pay something, she pays something. Check it out. You 929 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 1: check fifty dollars a month. It adds up in a 930 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 1: big way. I got Eric from from sham Blie. He 931 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,879 Speaker 1: has a banking with a basic investment conversation. Question. Eric 932 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 1: from Shamblie.

But that's my passion 937 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 1: to make money. But I know all the things that 938 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 1: you're talking about, I don't know anything about I can't 939 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,919 Speaker 1: I don't know the plastics of it, you know to say, Okay, 940 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,719 Speaker 1: I'm I'm an add border and sugar and I just 941 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:03,040 Speaker 1: started making the money care Yeah yeah, yeah, so Eric, 942 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,520 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for that. Yeah yeah, not for sure, 943 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 1: and and thank you for that vulnerability. Right. What I 944 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,920 Speaker 1: would say is this, I would say, make sure that 945 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,160 Speaker 1: you have a financial plan. And what does that mean. Um, 946 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, when you get paid and whatever you do, 947 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,239 Speaker 1: whether you still have a nine or five, whether it's 948 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,440 Speaker 1: your art, whenever you get paid, what I want you 949 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 1: to do is put a certain amount aside, right, And 950 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:30,319 Speaker 1: so whether it's ten percent, find out an amount that 951 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 1: you're comfortable with. Put that aside. And the first thing 952 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna do is you're gonna you're gonna start building 953 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 1: what I like to call your financial freedom fund. And 954 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: what that means is start to build up an account 955 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,400 Speaker 1: that six or eight months of expenses, right. And so 956 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,439 Speaker 1: so we're not saying save his accounts are bad. We're 957 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 1: saying that actually good because they can save you, you know, 958 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 1: in case of an emergency. So start building a financial 959 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,320 Speaker 1: freedom fund. But then also what you need to start 960 00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 1: doing is is after or while you're building that financial 961 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,359 Speaker 1: freedom fund. The truth of the matter is that no 962 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 1: one's gonna become financially free if they don't invest, if 963 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,839 Speaker 1: they don't change their relationship with money. Because right now, 964 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,680 Speaker 1: our relationship is that we're gonna work hard for money. 965 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,359 Speaker 1: But the true relationship should be money should work hard 966 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,719 Speaker 1: for you. And and the only way that happens is 967 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 1: if you invest right. And so as you're building your 968 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,399 Speaker 1: financial freedom fund, start to put money aside that you're 969 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,399 Speaker 1: gonna start investing, and and and and the good thing 970 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 1: about doing it every time you get paid is that 971 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 1: you're not just taking a lump sum. You're doing what's 972 00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,960 Speaker 1: called dollar course averaging. So whether you're investing in crypto, 973 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,879 Speaker 1: if you're investing in the stock market, whatever you're investing in, 974 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,880 Speaker 1: you're actually doing it on a periodic basis. And as 975 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,880 Speaker 1: you do it on that periodic basic uh, it's actually 976 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 1: gonna grow for you. But the number one thing before 977 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,240 Speaker 1: you invest a dollar is to understand, you know, to 978 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:53,239 Speaker 1: to to to have the information, the knowledge on how 979 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:57,040 Speaker 1: to invest. And so there are tons of podcasts out there. Um, 980 00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,839 Speaker 1: there's a lot of you know, financial ols out there. 981 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,880 Speaker 1: There are free resources on YouTube that can actually teach 982 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,480 Speaker 1: you the basics of how to get into it.

What? What? Just take three hundred dollars to 998 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,719 Speaker 1: go to cryptocurrency? Actually want to give this advice to 999 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,680 Speaker 1: you and everybody because we want to go to some 1000 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 1: more callers and thank everybody for calling in on the show, 1001 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: and especially thank you because you're being honest about yourself 1002 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,480 Speaker 1: and the only way you can move ahead is being 1003 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,799 Speaker 1: honest about your situation. What for what always drives me 1004 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,439 Speaker 1: is about people who go to church they tied, which 1005 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 1: God teaches you how to save. He gives you the 1006 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 1: discipline to say, but you don't you do it for 1007 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,480 Speaker 1: the church, but don't do it for yourself. Should you 1008 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,719 Speaker 1: take that same discipline. So so when I tell people 1009 00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 1: who in the church put a lot of money inside, 1010 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,240 Speaker 1: they look at me like, I ain't got no money, 1011 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,920 Speaker 1: but you got money for church though, So I'm telling you, 1012 00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 1: take that same principle, that same discipline that you have 1013 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,360 Speaker 1: for church and apply to yourself, and you'll win twice 1014 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 1: the God blessing and the personal blessing. That's all I'm saying. 1015 00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,279 Speaker 1: And so if you take advantage of that knowledge that 1016 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,399 Speaker 1: we're trying to give you, and what you wanna win 1017 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 1: with is that I value your call. I value your knowledge, 1018 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,880 Speaker 1: but the discipline is what most people make a mistake on. 1019 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:48,719 Speaker 1: And I just wanted to do a shout out to 1020 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,640 Speaker 1: the people who go to church to the people who 1021 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:52,920 Speaker 1: do tie. Those are the same people. And you know, 1022 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,319 Speaker 1: Ash will tell you, I don't know how I'm gonna 1023 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: do that. I don't know how I'm gonna pull together 1024 00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,120 Speaker 1: twenty dollars a week when you give it twenty all 1025 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,919 Speaker 1: to the church every week, and that's party dolls. I'm saying, 1026 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,920 Speaker 1: it's fifty dollars a month. So you can get to 1027 00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 1: that fifty dollars and so all all I've ever said 1028 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,840 Speaker 1: and all asked cash is always saying it's common sense. 1029 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 1: That's why I loved this brother. He talks from a 1030 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,640 Speaker 1: Commersen's perspective. Now we have Donald and Conyers. He's a 1031 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,640 Speaker 1: disabled veteran. How are you doing? And thank you for 1032 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 1: serving our country? How are you doing? Donald? I'm good, 1033 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,239 Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm really good. You know, a call with 1034 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,680 Speaker 1: as cash and of course I'm Rashan mcconnal. What's your 1035 00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:31,880 Speaker 1: what's your question? Yes, I was asking, as a veteran 1036 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 1: on a FAED income, how would I get into the game. 1037 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 1: I'm unemployable, not able to work. I just did uh 1038 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,279 Speaker 1: based income every month, So how would I be able 1039 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:47,200 Speaker 1: to get into that and not injured myself nationally to 1040 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,279 Speaker 1: take care of my other financial obligation. Yeah, now that's 1041 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,680 Speaker 1: a great question. Uh, and thank you for your service. 1042 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 1: So what what I what I would say, um is 1043 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,759 Speaker 1: it's similar to what I was telling Mr Eric was 1044 00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,640 Speaker 1: really you know, really about you know taking money from 1045 00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,879 Speaker 1: the side, right, Uh. And what happens is though when 1046 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 1: you are on a fixed income, there's only two two ways, 1047 00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,799 Speaker 1: right that you could or three ways to increase your 1048 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 1: bottom line, you either decrease expenses, increase your income, or 1049 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 1: do both things. Right, And so if you're on a 1050 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,000 Speaker 1: fixed income, what I would say is the first thing 1051 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,760 Speaker 1: is to look at your expenses and see, you know, 1052 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,640 Speaker 1: what ways that you could cut back some right? What 1053 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 1: ways can you? Uh? I said? I said, what what 1054 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 1: ways that you could cut back on expenses? Because as 1055 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 1: you're as you're cutting back on expenses, you now make 1056 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 1: you know, make way for some income and then you 1057 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,840 Speaker 1: use that income because what happens is this once you 1058 00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 1: cut back, and even if you're cutting back on expenses, 1059 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be permanently. It could be temporarily. 1060 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,240 Speaker 1: So that way you can gain you know, some money 1061 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 1: to invest. And while you're investing and making your money 1062 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 1: work for you, and that money starts to grow. Now 1063 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:58,440 Speaker 1: you're building money that you have access to that you 1064 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 1: could either put back into the investment and let it 1065 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 1: keep growing or if you wanted to supplement that that 1066 00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 1: expense you can. But so so I would say start 1067 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 1: with decreasing your expense. See what you know, what what 1068 00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,720 Speaker 1: things you're spending money on that could potentially be decreased 1069 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 1: um and then you know start to to to look 1070 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 1: into investing money. And I'm gonna add this to you, 1071 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't realize that sometimes you do. 1072 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,040 Speaker 1: You don't try to invest by yourself. Get a group 1073 00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,040 Speaker 1: of people together and start educating yourself. Four or five people. 1074 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:27,880 Speaker 1: You got fifty dollars. That means five y'all have two 1075 00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:31,000 Speaker 1: hundred fifty dollars that can be invested invested as a group. 1076 00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 1: Now you're not you're investing two hundred fifty dollars. So 1077 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 1: you're not investing your two hundred fifty dollars. Plus you 1078 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 1: have other people doing research for you also invest in 1079 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 1: their time because their fifty dollars means something to you. 1080 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,360 Speaker 1: So I would say take the advice and Ash gave you. 1081 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 1: But also if you have some people start, don't get 1082 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,480 Speaker 1: in the game quick. There's no rush. What bothers me 1083 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,080 Speaker 1: about people to get a certain age. They feel like, yeah, 1084 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:54,640 Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta hurry up and get there. No, 1085 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 1: I would give you sixty seventy eight. Take your time. 1086 00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,880 Speaker 1: If you rush life right, life will in for you 1087 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 1: because you're in a hurry. I am not in a 1088 00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 1: hurry to do nothing. I drive slow, I eat faster, 1089 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,360 Speaker 1: eat faster because I come from a big family, six sister, 1090 00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,080 Speaker 1: two brothers. When you come from a big family, you 1091 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,560 Speaker 1: learned to eat fast. Brother.
