I mean it's interesting. So we were on a trip. 39 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 4: We had done an educational seminar and we were on 40 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 4: a trip with about forty of our students slash investors, 41 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 4: and we had put up on this property and there's 42 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 4: just chicken coops everywhere right and roosters everywhere. And before 43 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 4: I can stop everybody from getting out of the vehicle, 44 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 4: we have these like thirty students that are up on 45 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 4: this fence line. 46 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: That's because we're going to go. 47 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 4: It was a tax deed, taxing foreclosure auction, right, and 48 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 4: so it's absolutely clear right a you know, chicken fighting 49 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 4: you know training or chicken fighting raising right area. And 50 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 4: they even had a like a ring, right it ring 51 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 4: on the property. And and next thing I know, I'm 52 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 4: like trying to get everybody back into the vehicle and 53 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 4: these guys come out of the front door and they 54 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 4: let about ten rottweilers right out their front door of 55 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 4: their house and they just you know, it's it's pretty 56 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 4: funny get all my students back in a bus and 57 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 4: you know, and and just being able to talk to 58 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 4: the individuals and they were but that was one of 59 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 4: the scariest moments, just seeing all them dogs coming out 60 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 4: of that out of that house like like it was. 61 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 4: It was super super everything was super fast, but you 62 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 4: just got to slow everything down. But I've always said, 63 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: you know, when when you're working in rougher neighborhoods or 64 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 4: you're dealing with people foreclosures, you just got to respect them. 65 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 3: You treat people right, you'll be able to get through 66 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: it with them. Right. 67 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 4: Most people are in some type of painful situation, and 68 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 4: you know, as an investors, we get a bad name 69 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 4: because people think we're trying to steal people's homes or 70 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 4: treat people poorly. And for us, we actually just want 71 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 4: to give people positive solutions, right. And so often people 72 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: are going to lose their homes. They're they're going to 73 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: lose to the banks. Right, It's not it's not us 74 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 4: as an investor that is taking their home. It's it's 75 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 4: a bank, or it's a government empty with tax these 76 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 4: tax deeds. Right, And so for us, we just want 77 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 4: to try and treat the people that live in there, 78 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 4: people that have been through foreclosure. Just treat them with respect, 79 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 4: give them solutions, give them an ability, an option to 80 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 4: be able to buy back their property. But it's it's interesting, 81 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 4: but I say, yeah, every one of my acquisition team members, 82 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 4: I trained them in Philly, like they will go through, 83 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 4: you know, the rougher parts of Philly. And if I 84 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 4: figure if they can cut it, and they can make 85 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 4: it in Philly as a as a real estate you 86 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 4: know investor real estate active, they can make it anywhere 87 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 4: in America. So it's it's it's interesting. I mean, I 88 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 4: think though the last couple of years, our teams have 89 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 4: actually had to work in luxury real estate warents. So 90 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 4: they've been in high end neighborhoods, and so it's actually 91 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 4: kind of been in the opposite with hyperinflation and those 92 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: kind of things. Choosing location knowing those properties we're going 93 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 4: to go up. 94 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: And value faster. It was was very interesting. 95 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 4: Now I've had to go and flip the script on 96 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 4: them again though, because as interest rates grow up, rents 97 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 4: go up, and so rental properties right and small. 98 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: Portfolios is built. We've been buying. 99 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 4: We just bought a forty four house portfolio and a 100 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 4: twenty eight house short sell in the last in the 101 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 4: last few months. And so those are you know, you know, bigger, 102 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 4: bigger deals, your transactions. But the market shifted, and so 103 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 4: I've got them flipped back from luxury luxury beach houses 104 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: and I got them back to you know, picking up 105 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 4: rental properties and rental neighborhoods, and so you know, the 106 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 4: game changes as the markets and the economy changes. 107 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: I love how you say that, and that's an important 108 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: point that I always want to hammer on for a 109 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: minute for everybody listening. You know, if you're just tune 110 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: you're listening to the Mark More Show. We're talking with 111 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: Dutch Mende Hall. He is the co founder and CEO 112 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: of rad Diversified, helping people create more wealth for themselves, 113 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: which is what I'm trying to do for you as well. 114 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: But I love that point that you just said right there, 115 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: and it's something that I got smacked in the face 116 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: with after the two thousand and eight collapse, which is 117 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: that there's no such thing as good and bad timing. 118 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: There's just good and bad strategies. And so when times change, 119 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: you just got to change the strategy. Right, I can 120 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: make money on a stock going up, I can also 121 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: make money on a stock going down. 122 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: I just have to change from long to short. 123 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: And so kind of what you just highlighted, where like, hey, 124 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: because the market change, because rates went up, we moved 125 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: we used to do low income, we moved to the beach, 126 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: but now we had to go back to rental properties 127 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: for example. And so you've just sort of changed your strategy, 128 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: but your finding ways to still provide value and create 129 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: value right. 130 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 131 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 4: You know, the day I realized, like one of my 132 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 4: big breakthroughs was the day I realized, when you know, 133 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 4: they move the markets, right, the markets move, and so 134 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 4: if you're not paying attention, right, the recent thing I 135 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 4: saw was you know, almost eighty eight percent of the 136 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 4: S and P five hundred companies are owned you know 137 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 4: by a handful. 138 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: Of companies three, you know, and. 139 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 4: By three of them, right, and and you know Vanguard 140 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 4: and black Rock and State Street can't remember what the 141 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 4: third one State Street, right, and and so like, if 142 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 4: they choose to move the markets, the markets are going 143 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 4: to move. If they choose to the interest rates are 144 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 4: going to go up. You know, there's things that win. 145 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 4: If you go back to the seventies during during the 146 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 4: Carter Days, right seventy six to eighty, you know, unemployment 147 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 4: went up to thirteen percent. We got to a point 148 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 4: in time where interest rates were the highest they'd been 149 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 4: in our lifetimes. And the market moved. And so as 150 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 4: that market moves, the game, the game changes. And so 151 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 4: we just need to be ahead of that. If you're 152 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 4: behind it, you're gonna lose. 153 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's great, and you do need to understand 154 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: and what's going on there. And that's actually what caused 155 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: my problem in two thousand and eight was I had 156 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: done really well with my real estate. 157 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: All of that I had done. I created two different businesses. 158 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: I had exits on both of those of medical business 159 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: and e commerce business, and like I was good, but 160 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't paying attention to what the bigger macro cycle, 161 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: what the market's doing, what the FED was doing. 162 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: And so I got caught off guard by that. 163 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: And if you can, if you can pay attention to that, 164 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: and then you can learn to pivot your strategies, then 165 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: you can sort of ride those waves. But that that's 166 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: where I got caught off guard. And you know, sort 167 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: of back to like trading our war stories. They say 168 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: that success is a horrible teacher, right, and so we learned, 169 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: we learned from those mistakes. If you don't get wiped 170 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: out too bad, I'm sure you've had the only. 171 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 4: Good, the only way to keep going through those through 172 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 4: like we all learned in O wait right, there was 173 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 4: a lot that I learned in O Waight. I went 174 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 4: from a whole lot of equity to a whole lot 175 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 4: less equity like that, And so you know, when twenty 176 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 4: was coming, you know we were more prepared for it, 177 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: but you know we made it through a way because 178 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 4: I think the thing you have to realize is that 179 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 4: the game shifts and economies get tough, it creates big 180 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 4: buy opportunities like right now. We're in the best by 181 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 4: opportunity I've been in my lifetime. But it's just like 182 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 4: you're saying, you sold businesses, you sold companies ten years ago. 183 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 4: I didn't know about an opportunity zone investment fund. I 184 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 4: didn't understand thirty ten thirty one exchanges. I didn't understand 185 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 4: all of the different ways that a business owner or 186 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 4: a real estate owner can utilize the tax code. And 187 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 4: so we opened an opportunity zone fund because our students 188 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 4: and our investors came to us and asked us to 189 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 4: and then we had to get you know, very good 190 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 4: at understanding the tax code and doing those things. And 191 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 4: so you know, I'm sure when that first time you 192 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 4: sold a business, you didn't realize, oh crap, I have 193 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 4: a ton of taxes I'm going to have to pay. 194 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 3: What do I do? 195 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 4: How do I make sure that the money continues to 196 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 4: invest versus versus you know, the government getting it. And 197 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 4: it's one of the charts actually we put in money 198 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 4: shackles where it shows the cycle between your taxes and 199 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 4: your investments and how that affects your overall returns and 200 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 4: how that compounds over a decade, and bad tax utilization 201 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 4: over a decade can cost you millions of dollars, and 202 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 4: so it's important that you understand what we learn. But 203 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 4: if you stop learning, the game's going to change on 204 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 4: you and it's going to shift, and then you're gonna 205 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 4: get back. 206 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 207 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: Well, that's such an important point and it's one that 208 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: I talk about all the time, and this is the 209 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: perfect time to kind of. 210 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 2: You've illustrated it. 211 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: Where really I think about capital in three different ways. 212 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: And so we certainly have financial capital, that's the amount 213 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: of money in your capital that we have available to us. 214 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: But we also have our mental capital. And then we 215 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: also have our relational capital. So you have these funds 216 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: and so you have relationships with people that give you money. 217 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: You have relationships that people that bring you a twenty 218 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: five pack of homes like, how do you even get that? 219 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: So you have relational capital, but you also have the 220 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: mental capital. So you've learned these things along the way, Right, 221 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: You've learned now about ten thirty one s or opportunity 222 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: zones or tax efficiency and so you didn't know those, 223 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: and so most people only think about financial capital, which 224 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: is probably the hardest one to gain. 225 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 2: Then that have to be years. 226 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: It could be other peoples, but finds capital. But really 227 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: the mental capital, the tax efficiency, the opportunities do that's 228 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: what really builds in. And of course the relational capital. 229 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: And so I like to pound on all three of 230 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: those and I'm going to dig into that with you. 231 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: But you know, I know I've been talking about for 232 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: a while, so I'm super excited to have you on. 233 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: We've been talking about this launch of this new book 234 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: that you wrote, Money Shackles, So I really want to 235 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: dive into that. If you just tune in, you're listening 236 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: to the Mark Moss Show. Of course, always talking about 237 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: the decentralized revolution, how the world is changing money, politics, finance, 238 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: it's all coming together. I'm sitting down with Dutch mend Hall. 239 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: But I got to take a very quick break. We're 240 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: going to come back and we're going to learn. 241 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: About the book Money Shackles, and what you can do 242 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: to change your financial future and have the American dream. 243 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: Don't go away. I'll be right back, all right, Welcome back. 244 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: If you just tune in, you're listening to the Mark 245 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: Moss Show. I'm sitting down with Dutch mende Hall. He 246 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: is the co founder and the CEO of Rad diversified, 247 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: and he wrote a brand new book called Money Shackles. 248 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: And that's what I'm excited to talk to you about today, Dutch, 249 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: because it's stuff that you know, before the break we 250 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: were talking about where you know, we have financial capital, 251 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: but we also have these this mental capital, and these 252 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: are some of the ideas and our knowledge, our skill set, 253 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: things like that, and then we also have you know, 254 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: relational capital, and I think all those are important. When 255 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: I had to rebuild up for two thousand and eight, 256 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: I didn't have any more financial capital, but I still 257 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 1: had the mental and I still had the relational and 258 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: I was able to build it back up pretty quickly. 259 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: But you know, you wrote about some of these like 260 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: I think, like this mental capital or the lack thereof 261 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: right where these these these things that we've learned I 262 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: think that have held us back. Is that sort of 263 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: how that book is framed up. 264 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a it's an incredible book. 265 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: Right. 266 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 4: It's like Americans feel are made to feel guilty about 267 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 4: debt all the time. 268 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: Dave Dave Ramsey everready blame. 269 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, every super uber wealthy person right in the planet 270 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 4: right utilized debt as an effective tool and and and yeah, 271 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 4: the Bible says don't be a slave to the lender, 272 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 4: but it doesn't say don't use debt, right, And so 273 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: if you use debt effectively as an American, you can 274 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 4: build wealth. If you're going to build true wealth in 275 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 4: real estate, then you need to be able to use wealth. 276 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 4: And so it's kind of breaking that stigmata when it 277 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 4: comes to debt in. 278 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: That part of it. 279 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 4: But it's also more than that. It's about a relationship 280 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 4: with money. If Americans have a healthy relationship with money, 281 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 4: they'll make good money any decisions. And so there's a 282 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 4: part of the foundation. And then it goes back into 283 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 4: deep into the alternative investment space, which you and I 284 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 4: absolutely love, right. I think Wall Street is I call 285 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 4: it bull Street. It's a yo yo cycle. It's a 286 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 4: monopoly right on the financial markets to me. In twenty twelve, 287 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 4: there's this little act that was passed called the Jobs Act, 288 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 4: and it opened up an industry, an arena for Americans 289 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 4: to be able to invest in crowdfunding, fractionalized ownership in 290 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 4: businesses for this tire first time, a non accredited successful 291 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 4: person right can go and invest and be an angel investor, 292 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 4: be someone who can buy a part of a farm. 293 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 3: Someone who can buy a part of. 294 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 2: A luxury house and be able to do. 295 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 4: It, that's from it without having to have all the 296 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 4: money and all the capital and all of the risks. 297 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 4: And they also can diversify their risk by lots and 298 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 4: lots of different investments. I always hate the fact that 299 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 4: there's financial planners out there who've never built wealth, who've 300 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 4: never retired, and suddenly, you know, an average person has 301 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 4: to go to them and say, hey, can I trust 302 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 4: you with my money? You took some course, took some class, 303 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 4: your company taught you some stuff. Can I trust you 304 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 4: with my money? And what alternative do they have? And 305 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 4: so if the money shack is all about helping an everyday, 306 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 4: you know, professional working American figure out, Hey what am 307 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 4: I gonna do with my money? And it starts, you know, 308 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 4: at the very beginning. And a lot of Americans think 309 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 4: they don't have money to invest, but you do, a 310 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 4: lot of Americans think home ownership is beyond the reach 311 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 4: because of the rising home prices. 312 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 3: More often than not, they have more than enough money 313 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 3: to be able to buy a home. 314 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 4: One of our actually you met him earlier, our director 315 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 4: of advertising, right Patrick Keller for our company. Right, you know, 316 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 4: he's a young kid and he owns a house because 317 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 4: he followed the steps. 318 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 3: He followed the process. 319 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 4: He went through what you need to do, and now 320 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: instead of having to wait thirty years to have good 321 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 4: amount of money working for him, now his house is appreciating, 322 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 4: he's getting the tax rite offs of depreciation, he's having 323 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 4: all of these benefits. And if he starts in his twenties, 324 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: the game will change forever. 325 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 3: Right. What happens is a lot of Americans, it's almost 326 00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: too late. 327 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 4: They're in there, they're in their fifties, and now they're 328 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 4: feeling that the retirement pressure. 329 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: They're feeling that bug. 330 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 4: And so what Money Shackles is about showing them, you know, 331 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 4: maybe there is an accelerated way for you to be success. 332 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 4: There is a way to balance your investments between high 333 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 4: risk and low risk, and there's high return and all 334 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 4: of those things. Is huge in the book, and it 335 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 4: has it's not just about learning, because you and I 336 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 4: can sit here and give them lessons all day long, 337 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 4: but it is about checklists. It is about charts that 338 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 4: they can simply follow. It is about being able to know, 339 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 4: like here's here. If you're looking at a company. Here's 340 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 4: how you do due diligence. Here's if a company is 341 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 4: absolutely full of crap, what are the signs, what are 342 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 4: the red flags? And so it gives them all of 343 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 4: these pieces to be able to check off and it 344 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 4: makes a huge difference versus trying to rely. 345 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 3: I mean, people have lives. 346 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 4: They got to be parents, they got to be spouses, 347 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 4: they got to have careers, and now they're suddenly supposed 348 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 4: to be financial experts in order to invest their own money, Well, 349 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 4: they need easy tools to do it. 350 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. And it's you know, 351 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: the Wall Street industrial complex has created this very very complex, 352 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: you know, opaque system that then makes you rely on them. 353 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: And it's crazy, like. 354 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: How many people have spent so much time, effort, energy 355 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: to go to school, get good grades, go to good college, 356 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: you know, get additional degrees, further work to further their career, 357 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: and then all this time to make money and then 358 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: they just give it to someone else and forget about it, 359 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: like like what, But it doesn't. 360 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 2: Have to be that complex. 361 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: And so if you get out of that Wall Street 362 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: complex and just go into something simple like like real estate, 363 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: for example, you can build wealth very quickly. I want 364 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: to go back to well, maybe not very quickly, but 365 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: more methodically, and especially if you start younger. But I 366 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: want to go back to just what you talked about 367 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: with the debt piece. 368 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: For example. 369 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: You know, one thing that I hit on is that 370 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: most people, you know, I talk about money, most people 371 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: don't understand what money is. 372 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 2: And we think we do because we have it in our. 373 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: Wallet, but they don't really understand that we're in a 374 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: debt based monetary system. So that means that when we 375 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: talk about the FED printing money, it's not really how 376 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: it works. The banks actually create it when you take 377 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: a loan. So because money is created through debt, then 378 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: we should use debt if we want to make money 379 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: and we have the debt. You know, we have the 380 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: Dave Ramsey of the world telling everyone, don't get in debt. 381 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: Don't get in debt. 382 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: My mentor for twenty five years now, one of my 383 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: good friends, Robert Kyosaki. He says that Dave Ramsey's right 384 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: for most people, they shouldn't because most people aren't smart 385 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: enough to know how to use it. But hopefully your 386 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: book can change that, but really change the way we 387 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: look at debt and understand it is dangerous. It's like fire, right, 388 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: it can warm our house, but it could burn our 389 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: house down. But it's important if you want to grow 390 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: to learn how to use good debt versus bad debt. 391 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: Do you kind of break that distinction down. 392 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, because obviously, if you're using debt to live 393 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 4: right for lifestyle, it's gonna work against you. But if 394 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 4: you're using debt to make a return, if you're using 395 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 4: debt to build a business, like every American should own 396 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 4: a business. Like any American who doesn't own a business 397 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 4: isn't utilizing the tax code correctly. They're not utilizing all 398 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 4: of the things they can have in life correctly, right, 399 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 4: and so like, there are certain rules of this game. 400 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 4: And frankly, if you went off forty year plan to 401 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 4: be able to retire, you know maybe Dave and maybe 402 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 4: maybe you know Robert or Wright. And at the same time, 403 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 4: I wasn't born for a forty year plan. I remember 404 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 4: making great money living in Orange County, right, which I 405 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 4: know is you know your home RaSE, right, California, and 406 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 4: living in Eliso Viejo, California. And I remember for the 407 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 4: first time of my life having grown up lived on 408 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 4: my own at sixteen, having coached college baseball, which is 409 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 4: like indentured servitude, I finally had a job as a 410 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 4: head hundred. 411 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 3: I made two hundred fifty thousand dollars. 412 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 4: I paid ninety thousand dollars in taxes, which now, of 413 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 4: course I know better than that, and I saved fifty 414 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 4: grand and I said to myself, Wow, this is this 415 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 4: is incredible. I feel amazing about this. But then I 416 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 4: started to really look at the equation. Everybody says it's 417 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 4: going to take three million dollars in order for me 418 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 4: to retire, and I lived in an expensive part of 419 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 4: the world, and I looked at it, and I said, well, 420 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 4: three million dollars fifty thousand, it's. 421 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 3: How am I having going together. 422 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 4: It's going to take me sixty years to save up 423 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 4: three million dollars. I have to figure out a better plan. 424 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 4: I have to figure out a more accelerated plan. If 425 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 4: I want to be free, if when my kids are 426 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 4: in high school, if my kids are in college, if 427 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 4: I want to be able to be with them, I 428 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 4: want to watch them play sports. 429 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 3: I want to be able to be that kind of relationship. 430 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 4: If I want to make sure that I'm setting up 431 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 4: a legacy right even to think about a legacy, I'm 432 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 4: just thinking about how I was going to retire, But 433 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 4: how do I set up a legacy right for my 434 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 4: family for future generations? 435 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 3: Like in schools, like they would rather teach. 436 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 4: Them about things that are not that they're not going 437 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 4: to have lots of times in their everyday lives. For me, 438 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 4: my kids put away money every single month. My kids 439 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 4: have their own retirement, my kids having a job and 440 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 4: employment right where they get paid. My kids own their 441 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 4: first house already and they're six and seven years old. 442 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 2: Wow, that's amazing. 443 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 3: It's a different game. 444 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to dig into that different game. 445 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: I loved what you just said right there, and I 446 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: want to break that down for people that are listening 447 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: so they can have some steps.

But you said 465 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: something there, Dutch, right before the break that I just 466 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: kind of want unpack a little bit if we can. 467 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: And you had said for you to retire, that you 468 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: were going to need three million dollars and everybody has 469 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: their own number whatever, there is one, two, five, whatever. 470 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: But the problem, as you highlighted, and I agree with this, 471 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: is that you said, how am I ever going to 472 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: get the three million or the five million or whatever 473 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: it is, and that number because it seems so big 474 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: and so unattainable, then why even bother or why you 475 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: know I get to wait sixty years, when maybe I 476 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: could just come up with ten thousand dollars to buy 477 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: an eighty thousand dollars house in Missouri or Kansas City 478 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: and then use that passive income to bound and maybe 479 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: it takes me six seven years to buy a second 480 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: house and then three years to another one. If you 481 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: didn't want to, say for sixty years to get the 482 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: three million, what would be the better way to do it? 483 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, buying a house right is always 484 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 4: going to be an effective tool buying real estate, But 485 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 4: there's rules to buy in real estate, right, because like 486 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 4: you said, what if you bought a house for eighty 487 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 4: thousand dollars in Missouri. 488 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 3: Or something like that. 489 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 4: But at the same time, that's also one of the 490 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 4: most dangerous things if you don't know the rules of 491 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 4: the game, because I've seen so many people get burned 492 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 4: by buying cheap virtual real estate in some part of 493 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 4: the country somewhere, right, And if you don't have the 494 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 4: effective tools to know, like how do you know that the. 495 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 3: Company you're dealing with is legitimate? 496 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 4: And it's like every person whoever flips their first home 497 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 4: or ever wants to flip their home first home because 498 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 4: they watched HTD. They're trying to do it on the cheap, 499 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 4: they're trying to find the lowest contract, or maybe they're 500 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 4: trying to avoid permits and those kind of things, and 501 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 4: those are all things that are going to get them destroyed. 502 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 3: Right, If you're flipping your first home, you had to 503 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 3: know what the rule is. Well, the rule on your first. 504 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 4: Home is you're going to need to find someone with 505 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 4: a good reputation, with a good track record, with a 506 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 4: good history, and that their history is public because if 507 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 4: it's not public, then it's not real. And so like 508 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 4: there's certain rules to those things. For me, it starts 509 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 4: off one, what is your daily exchange as a person? 510 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 3: Right? What is your current monetary exchange? 511 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 4: And what I mean is if you're trading time for money, right, 512 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 4: or if you're trading effort for money, which is better 513 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 4: than trading time for money. In my opinion, it's very 514 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 4: important for you to have a healthy exchange. And if 515 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 4: your exchange is too low, now you need to start 516 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 4: figuring out how to get your exchange different. So unlike 517 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 4: Dave Ramsey, like you said earlier, and I actually think 518 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 4: Dave has done a lot of great sure, and I 519 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 4: also think Robert's done it. 520 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: Just to clarify, Robert was saying that most people should 521 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: listen to him because most people probably shouldn't play with fire, 522 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: or shouldn't play with debt, but Robert does. Robert plays 523 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: with massive amounts of debt. His story was he backed 524 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: up the truck with debt in two thousand and eight 525 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: and he's a billionaire today. But he was saying most people, 526 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: because they don't have the mental capital to play with it, 527 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: they shouldn't, but anyway, keep going. 528 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 3: And so there's this exchange part of it. 529 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 4: So my first rule is if your exchange isn't enough, 530 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 4: where like if you only have a thousand dollars to 531 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 4: make an investment, then your exchange in life is definitely 532 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 4: not high enough as a person. 533 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 3: And so we've got to help you create a higher. 534 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 4: Monetary exchange in your life. And a lot of people 535 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 4: start to equate the amount of money they make to 536 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 4: who they are as a person, and who you are 537 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 4: as a person has nothing to do with the amount 538 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 4: of money you make. It's your understanding of how money 539 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 4: works and what the exchange either for effort or time is. 540 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 4: And so if you only have one thousand dollars my 541 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 4: first role is you don't actually make that as an investment. 542 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 3: To me, you don't make that. What you do is 543 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 3: you invest that in yourself. I love that it's a. 544 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 4: Better investment because if they invest in themselves, then they 545 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 4: can change their exchange. Like for me, that first amount 546 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 4: of money, the first time I ever had money in 547 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 4: my life. I could have took that first fifty thousand 548 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 4: dollars and yes I could have invested that maybe in 549 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 4: my first piece of real estate, or maybe I could 550 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 4: have invested that into the stock market. 551 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 3: Or somewhere else. But where I invested it, it was into 552 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 3: my own learning curve. 553 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 4: I really accelerated my understanding of entrepreneurship, money, businesses being 554 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 4: able to build something incredible. And so for me, that 555 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 4: first investment is into yourself as a human being. Like 556 00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 4: one of the things with every RAD employee we have 557 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 4: is we have one scholarship programs for them and their 558 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 4: kids and their families. But number two is like anytime 559 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 4: they bring me education knowledge, even if it's not RAD related, 560 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 4: we pay for it as a company because I've learned 561 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 4: that if I can increase their abilities and I increase 562 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 4: their knowledge, then that changes their exchanges, which create changes 563 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 4: are exchanges as a company out. 564 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 3: There in the market place. So Number one, right, make 565 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 3: healthier exchange for your money. 566 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 4: Number two, choose your vehicle. Make sure you start to 567 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 4: become a knowledge expert in your vehicle. If you have 568 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 4: a lot of money and you just want cash flow 569 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 4: and you want safety, then real estate might be a 570 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 4: great option, and you do cash flow real estate. If 571 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 4: you don't have a lot of money and it's time 572 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 4: for you to start accelerating your wealth, then obviously you're 573 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 4: going to need to use leverage and debt to your advantage. 574 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 3: So many veterans, we have a lot of veterans we 575 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 3: work with. 576 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 4: We have a lot of special operations, special forces individuals 577 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 4: that work in our company. As we work with veterans, 578 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 4: they don't realize that their ability to go buy a 579 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 4: house right is. 580 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 3: In their fingertips. There's so many ways for them to 581 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 3: buy a house effectively. 582 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 4: But instead of them saving three hundred thousand dollars for 583 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 4: a lifetime to get it working for them in their 584 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 4: first house, the moment they buy it, it's appreciation and 585 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 4: its ability to grow in value is instant. But they're 586 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 4: out there renting, and so you really need to get 587 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 4: to a point where we can figure out how you 588 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 4: can get home ownership, how you can get your first rental. Now, 589 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 4: I'm different than a lot of people. Right, some people 590 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 4: would say, buy a home, pay it off for me, 591 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 4: buy your first rental property. I would rather have a 592 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 4: rental property even before I would have my own home 593 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 4: for me. I remember my father in law, and this 594 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 4: is pretty funny. He was telling me all the time 595 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 4: about owning my own home, and I'm like, Ernie, I 596 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 4: own a dozen homes. I don't need to own my 597 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 4: own my own home. Because the reality is is I 598 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 4: figured out in that system that renter's paying off my 599 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 4: debt right others people's money, which is obviously the great 600 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 4: leverage right for you in real estate and wealth. It 601 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 4: was more effective, and the growth of those properties also 602 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 4: meant that I had this massive tax rite off when 603 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 4: I came to depreciation, and so the rental property for 604 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 4: me was far smarter, especially when I was building from scratch, 605 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 4: building building from early on. But he's also got a 606 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 4: different way of doing it. And at the same time, 607 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 4: I feel like, if you want to accelerate it, there's 608 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 4: a better way. 609 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I certainly agree with that. It's what I did 610 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: in my own life. I started buying properties, fixing and 611 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: flipping them. I didn't own my house. I rented. It 612 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: wasn't until much later that I actually bought a house 613 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: for myself, when I got married and had a kid. 614 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: Then in two thousand and eight, I got wiped out. 615 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: I had to start over again, and instead of going 616 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: and buying home, I started buying investments again. And I 617 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: was a renter for like about eight years. And you know, 618 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: my kids were growing up, and I would have loved 619 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: to have a house for my kids without having to rent. 620 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: But it was like, look, man. 621 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to put this much money down to have 622 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: the same payment as I can just rent for but 623 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: I could put that money into other investments and make 624 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: multiple times on my payment. 625 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: Why would I do that? 626 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: And so I just continue to invest, invest and tell 627 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: the point where I got to the point where I 628 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: had enough money where I didn't care anymore. Not that 629 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: I don't have any care anymore, but I didn't care 630 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: about like do I own a rent. I'm like, I'm 631 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: just gonna rent. I mean, I'm just going to buy. 632 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: But I agree, I did it my own life twice. 633 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: I think it's the sacrifice that everyone needs to make 634 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: as well. Get your money working first. 635 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, for me, this is a fun, fun game, right. 636 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 3: I love this part of it. 637 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 4: And so for me, you know, like some people, you know, 638 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 4: they want to become an NBA champion, they want to 639 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 4: go win the World Series, and I think those are beautiful, 640 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 4: amazing pursuits. For me, I got to a point in 641 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 4: time where I started looking at money and I started 642 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 4: looking at the game, and like, I want to be 643 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 4: the best. 644 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 3: I wanted to get to that point. 645 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 4: It's like that Kobe Bryant mentality, especially you're out in 646 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 4: California right where I just you know, wanted to be 647 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 4: a momba of real estate and investing. And and now 648 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 4: that we've achieved these financial, you know, pinnacles, it's how 649 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 4: do we help others do that? Because what I started 650 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 4: to realize when our students came to me and they said, Dutch, 651 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 4: your education is great, Well, we love the training, but 652 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 4: invest with us. 653 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 3: Put your money where your mouth is. 654 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,479 Speaker 4: A lot of people teach and they don't train on 655 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 4: some people train and they don't do and they just said, like, 656 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 4: prove it, do it with us. And so when I 657 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 4: started investing together, I went from a few million dollars 658 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 4: in my own my own empire, right, my own little universe, 659 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 4: right to hundreds of millions of dollars and a short 660 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 4: number of years because we started doing it together. And 661 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 4: I think that that's the beautiful part about alternative investing 662 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 4: the jobs at twenty twelve. 663 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 3: The alternative to Wall. 664 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 4: Street is that ability to be able to co invest, 665 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 4: to do it together, that you're not alone. And I 666 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 4: think so many people with their money that there's this 667 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 4: part of them where they're just feel alone, and that 668 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 4: kind of sucks because they don't have to be. 669 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 3: But at the same time, who do you listen to? 670 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 3: There's so much get quick rich? Right. 671 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 4: When I say an accelerated plan to wealth, I'm not 672 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 4: talking about get quick rich. I'm not going to tell 673 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 4: you sit on a couch with the remote control and 674 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 4: somehow you're going to buy, you know, a piece of 675 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 4: real estate and some bitcoin in Yugoslavia and suddenly you're 676 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 4: going to become a billionaire. 677 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 3: Right. What I am going to say is there's a 678 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 3: systematic process. There's a systematic. 679 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 4: Step by step that if we can follow it and 680 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 4: we can do it together, the wealth you can achieve 681 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 4: is it's fun. 682 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I couldn't. I couldn't agree more. 683 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 3: You know. 684 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, on an earlier segment, I was talking about how 685 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: Vladimir Lenin President of Russia, and he said that the 686 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: best way to destroy the currency, I'm sorry, to destroy 687 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: capitalism is to destroy the currency through inflation. And then 688 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: you destroy it inflate with inflation so much that the 689 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: best way to get rich would be with gambling or theft. 690 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: And so that's exactly kind of where the world we're in. 691 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to get rich quick, and so we're all 692 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: trying to gamble, what's the next crypto, what's the next AI, 693 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: what's the next whatever options trade or whatever it is 694 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: or scheme or scam. And unfortunately, you know, the road 695 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: to wealth is pretty straightforward. It just doesn't come overnight, 696 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: but it can come quickly if you know what you're doing. 697 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: If you're just tuned in you're listening to the Mark 698 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: Moss Show. I'm sitting down with Dutch mende Hall. He's 699 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: the co founder and CEO of rad Diversified. We're talking 700 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: about his brand new book called Money Shackles, and I 701 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: want to get into we got to take a quick break, 702 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: but when we come back, I want to get into 703 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: some of these methodical steps that people could start taking 704 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: in their own lives, So we'll cover that when we 705 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 1: come back. 706 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 2: You don't want to miss this. It's actionable, so don't 707 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: go away. 708 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. 709 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,239 Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back. 710 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: If you just tune in, you're listening to the Marcromas Show, 711 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: and I am sitting down with Dutch mende Hall. He 712 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,959 Speaker 1: is the co founder and CEO of rad Diversified, President 713 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: of the Alternative Investment Association. We've been talking about his 714 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 1: new book, Money Shackles and some things that the average 715 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: person can do to really. 716 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 2: Kind of put themselves ahead. 717 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: And you'd said that there's maybe a few methodical steps 718 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: that people could take. Maybe give a couple of those 719 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: steps kind of briefly so people might know a little 720 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: bit of a roadmap for themselves. 721 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 722 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, step number one is knowledge, right, decide 723 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 4: you're gonna make this a pursuit. If you want to 724 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 4: be a millionaire, you want to be a multimillionaire, step 725 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 4: number one is you have to decide you're going to 726 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 4: be a multimillionaire. Once you've made that decision, then you 727 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 4: got to follow up with a knowledge chase. If you're 728 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 4: chasing the knowledge hard and you're gaining the knowledge, then 729 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 4: you can need to breathe a little bit, because sometimes 730 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 4: people start to get in a rush, and that's where 731 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 4: they start to make mistakes, and so they got to 732 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 4: make sure that they're taking their time, but they're moving 733 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 4: with urgency all at the same time. In money shackles, 734 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 4: we have these charts and they're called our freedom charts 735 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 4: where they take them step by step through some of 736 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 4: these and some of them are mental, but some of 737 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 4: them are actual, tangible, you know, very specific financial step 738 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 4: by step, like if you're not budgeting, if you're not 739 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 4: at least taking them the time right every single month. 740 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 4: And you can do this through some really easy applications 741 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 4: and easy apps where you know. 742 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 3: Here's how much money you made, here's how much money 743 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 3: you spent. 744 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 4: What's in the middle, right, and that part in the 745 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 4: middle And it's mind blowing, but nobody teaches you. 746 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 3: Scrowing up. I didn't know what a credit card was 747 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 3: at ten years old. 748 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 4: It's a lot of people do, but some people don't. 749 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 4: And so you know, credit is important, right. I recently 750 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 4: I saw a video of someone saying credit, up your 751 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 4: credit cards, you know, get rid of your I'm like, 752 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 4: you need credit. We live in a debt system, like 753 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 4: you were saying earlier, Mark, it's critical. 754 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so good now you know some of the 755 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: things that we have today. Unfortunately, I get thousands of 756 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: Unfortunately I get thousands of comments across my social platforms 757 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: during the week, and unfortunately I see too many comments 758 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: of people who are victims and why even bother the 759 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: systems rigged against me. I'm never going to get ahead 760 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah blah, even though we know 761 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: that's not true because we see people every day getting ahead. 762 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: But I think a lot of it comes down to 763 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: sort of like this economic discrimination where really the kind 764 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: of rules are set up to kind of favor a 765 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: certain group of people. So for example, like a credit 766 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: investor laws or something like that. What's your take on 767 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: the economic discrimination and potentially you know, a group of 768 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: people being held back by something like that. 769 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's hard. 770 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 4: The system's rigged when you don't have the knowledge, right, 771 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 4: when you don't have the understanding of what's possible. But 772 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 4: after you have the knowledge, you have to had this 773 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 4: belief system on what you can do and what's possible. 774 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 4: And so what people are doing is they're ringing the 775 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 4: system against themselves. But then there's part of it and 776 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 4: this economic discrimination thing. It's really mind blowing. I would 777 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 4: love for our voices Mark to carry out and shout 778 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 4: out and say, hey, politicians, twenty twenty four election right, 779 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 4: change what this is forever. It is absolutely accredited versus 780 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 4: non accredited investor is discriminatory. 781 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 3: It's economic discrimination. 782 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 4: It's the last fully legal discrimination I've heard of in 783 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 4: our country. When you tell someone that they don't have 784 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 4: the same equal opportunity as someone just because they have 785 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 4: more money, it's mind blowing to me, Like we all 786 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 4: are supposed to have an equal pursuit of happiness. Well 787 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 4: that is impossible with the accredited non accredit And what's 788 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 4: the Jobs Acted in twenty twelve is they kind of 789 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 4: changed the game a little bit in the sense that 790 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 4: they said, hey, there's these non accredited investors can invest 791 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 4: in these regulations, non traded but public companies, and they 792 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 4: can have access to investments, but they can only invest 793 00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 4: ten percent of their savings. 794 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 3: Or that's discriminatory. 795 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 4: If you're going to put a label on me because 796 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,959 Speaker 4: of how much money I have and limit my opportunities 797 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 4: or give me more opportunities on what I can invest into. 798 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 4: It's embarrassing in a country that has gotten as far 799 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 4: as we have, but you can't allow that to affect 800 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 4: you as an investor because you can't control what they're doing. 801 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 4: We can have a voice, we can get behind this 802 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 4: mission together. And I've had a lot of thought leaders 803 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 4: across America start to take up this chance and this 804 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 4: belief with me because it's powerful and important. It's one 805 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 4: of the reasons I started getting into farmland. I realized 806 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 4: that the CCP right, we're buying land in America. Right, 807 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 4: China was buying land in America. You know recently there's 808 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 4: been a lawsuit. I actually think it's in California, right. 809 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 4: I told Gavin Newsoen, like I said, you got to 810 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 4: step up, right. I did this great video on it 811 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 4: because like he needs to step up and put an 812 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 4: end to it. There's you know, acreage bought right around 813 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 4: a military base. So we started buying an American farmland when 814 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 4: the pandemic hit, and we found that every single acre 815 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 4: of land is just like an apartment, just like in rental. 816 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 4: And if we can maximize the income on it, we 817 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 4: can really increase the value of farmland. 818 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 3: So we opened Right America, our newest investment fund. Because 819 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 3: there's certain. 820 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 4: Things like if you're going to have a belief, I say, like, 821 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 4: if you don't believe in our warriors and our soldiers 822 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 4: here in America, then don't invest with us. If you 823 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 4: don't believe that that you know, we have the greatest 824 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 4: military and that's why we're safe here in the US, 825 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 4: and why we don't have to walk down the street 826 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 4: and worry about an ID going off or worry. You know, 827 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 4: they've kept us safe. And so we believe in our 828 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 4: land and we believe in our country. The reason I 829 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 4: wrote Money Shackles is because I want to help every 830 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 4: day Americans redefine their American dream build a financial prosperity. 831 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 4: And if we don't put money behind these missions and 832 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 4: behind these causes, they'll never have power. Right, And money 833 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 4: is power, and money is a part of power in 834 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 4: American and it's important that Americans understand it. And so 835 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 4: they have to choose what they're going to invest in wisely. 836 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 4: And if they just blindly give their money to the 837 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 4: to the wrong companies and the wrong organizations that aren't 838 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 4: aren't furthering the protection of this country, the lifting up 839 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 4: of everyday Americans. 840 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 3: They're making a mistake. 841 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: Tell me more about that farmland piece, because I know 842 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: that farmland is a great investment. We've seen, you know, 843 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: like the news headlines going around where not only the CCP, 844 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: but you know, Bill Gates also becoming like the largest 845 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: owner of farmland. Certainly, I'm happy to kind of maybe 846 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: dip my toe in the conspiratorial waters, if you will. 847 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: But part of the reason why Bill Gates buys farmland 848 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: is because it's a dang good investment. 849 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 2: Maybe break that down a little bit. 850 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: How you look at investing a farmland, why you think 851 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: it's important from an investment standpoint, not just from a 852 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: land standpoint. 853 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,719 Speaker 4: Farmland in America, you know, can can range anywhere from 854 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 4: fifteen hundred dollars an acre to all the way up 855 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 4: to six seven thousand dollars an acre. 856 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 3: Right in the last decade now we. 857 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 4: Have found that we believe that farmland prices right per acre. 858 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,479 Speaker 4: Fully you know, irrigated, fully running farmland will be anywhere 859 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 4: from ten thousand all the way up to a named 860 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 4: farm up to twenty thousand an acre. Right, there's a 861 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 4: bunch of athletes that bought you know, farmland acreage in 862 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 4: Iowa for thirty thousand dollars an acre, and so, you know, 863 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 4: just the long term play value play of farmland's incredible. 864 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 4: But in the meantime, what's incredible about this is it 865 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 4: produces income. And what I what I found is that 866 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 4: for us as a company, we have ability to you know, 867 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 4: take irrigation to new levels where we use less water, 868 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 4: but the land is more taken care of, to take 869 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 4: soil testing to another level so that it yields more crops. Right, 870 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 4: We're a big believer in natural and pure farming. We 871 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 4: even do some no till farming so that the land 872 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 4: is growing and being replenished because soil is one of 873 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 4: our great natural resources in America. Were one of the 874 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 4: great food suppliers in the world. And so our ability 875 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,479 Speaker 4: to take farm increase the income be able to take. 876 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 4: You know, in some ways, it was take advantage of 877 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 4: what hyperinflation was going to bring. I knew that there 878 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 4: were supply chain issues when the pandemic hit. I knew 879 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 4: that rushing Ukraine were fighting wars, and so Ukraine's the 880 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 4: largest producer of wheat in the world. So we planted 881 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 4: wheat on our farms and we went up two x 882 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 4: right in value over over that period of time. 883 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 3: And so for us, it's about, you know, what's going 884 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 3: to produce. 885 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 4: The maximum return for our investors, but also protect our 886 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 4: country and be a good, good investment for people. 887 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 3: So I love farmland. 888 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 4: Like we've gone from a few hundred acres to thousands 889 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 4: and thousands and thousands of acres as a company, And 890 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 4: we opened Right America because we saw this as you know, 891 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 4: instead of Bill Gates owning it or Bezos, which people 892 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 4: don't talk about, who owns a crap ton of farmland 893 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 4: as well, right, And I don't have anything against you know, 894 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 4: wealthy Americans owning farmlands unless they have nefarious purposes or causes, right. 895 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 3: And so for me, I'd rather, you know, keep. 896 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 4: Foreign countries from owning American farmland, which is important to me. 897 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 4: And laws have passed in Arkansas, Iowa, Florida right limiting that, 898 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 4: and I think every state in America should should limit that. 899 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 4: And so for me, buying this farmland, making it produce 900 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 4: great income, taking care of the land, keeping developers out 901 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 4: who want to turn good American farms into you know, 902 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 4: the next high rise. There's plenty of land that isn't 903 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 4: farmland that they can turn into the next high rise. 904 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 4: And so for me, it's about taking these great investments. 905 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 4: But the returns have been mind blowing. Our one Weezer 906 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 4: farm we bought for eight million dollars. We sold off 907 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 4: one hundred and sixty eight cres and made a five 908 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars profit on it. And the last appraisal 909 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 4: we had in December of twenty twenty two was twenty 910 00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 4: four zero point. 911 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 3: Five million dollars on the property. 912 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 4: And now, as an average American, you could say, well, 913 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 4: I can never buy that myself. 914 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 3: I get it. Neither could I. 915 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 4: So the question was come down and I'm very wealthy, 916 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 4: and so the question comes down is how did we 917 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 4: do that? 918 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 3: Well? 919 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 4: We did it together through the fractionalized ownership, through the systems. 920 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 4: I mean, we've become one of the largest crowdfunders in America. 921 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 4: And for me, investing in the right things with that 922 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 4: money is critical. I always say to my investors, it's 923 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 4: your money. Let us be a steward, let us be 924 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 4: a guy. Let's put it to work for you, right, 925 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 4: And there's other companies that are incredible that people can 926 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 4: invest into, and so in Money Shackles, we actually give 927 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 4: all the crowdfunding platforms that we think people can go 928 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 4: to and really take a look at alternative investments. 929 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 3: We give you the tools. It's an awesome way to 930 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 3: do man, thank you for letting me share. 931 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 2: It's awesome. I love farmland. 932 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: Farmland has been a great way to store wealth for 933 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: a long period of time, and it's important to keep 934 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: it decentralized. So I'm all in on farmland, maybe because 935 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: my grandfather was a farmer. My father was a farmer. 936 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: If you're just tune in, you've been listening to the 937 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: Mark Maus Show.
