Baby. 170 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 11: So, since we're talking about goals twenty twenty five recap 171 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 11: and our goals for the coming year, I know a 172 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 11: lot of people's goal might be to buy a home. 173 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 11: And that got me to thinking about this fifty year 174 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 11: mortgage proposal that the Trump administration made. 175 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: A fifty year you have heard of the years you 176 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: have not. 177 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: Heard President Okay, so Ariam posts something quickly about it 178 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: in her stories, but I didn't get the details, so 179 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 2: give us the deets, trips. 180 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 11: Yeah, so, the idea is that it will lower monthly 181 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 11: payments for home buyers, which at first glance like, okay, yeah, 182 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 11: but what people aren't thinking about is that because it's 183 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 11: fifty years, you're paying significantly more interest. Somebody said, if 184 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 11: you have five hundred thousand dollars home, you're gonna end 185 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 11: up paying one point five million dollars. 186 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: That simple math. Bro. 187 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 11: Not only that, you're not gonna have equity, no white, 188 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 11: sometimes you. 189 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 4: Might as well rent. Yeah, you might rent. 190 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 11: I'm so what somebody said is that, like banks are 191 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 11: going to essentially turn homeowners into renters without having to 192 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 11: do all of the maintenance, or rather private equity companies 193 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 11: who really own these properties. 194 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what they're going to do. 195 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 11: And so they're going to turn homeowners into renters, but 196 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 11: also passing off that upkeep of the home on to. 197 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: The rent as they should. 198 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 2: Oh no, what passes the upkeep on? Oh yeah, I'm no, yes, 199 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: oh no, absolutely no. Opp is that hell no? I 200 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 2: would never never sign. 201 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 10: Up No no, no, no, like. 202 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 4: Who would sign up for a fifty year mortgage. That's insanity. 203 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: So here's how people get caught up with it. Right, 204 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollar house, you gotta put one hundred 205 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: thousand down. It's four hundred thousand. You got a mortgage. 206 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: Your mortgage payment now will probably be about twenty five 207 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: hundred dollars. So what they're saying people is, like what 208 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: you would normally pay twenty five hundred dollars for now, 209 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: you only pay fifteen hundred dollars. And then people say, yo, 210 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: I'd rather have one thousand dollars less, thousand dollars more 211 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: in my pocket. That's twelve thousand dollars more every year. 212 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: That's a good investment. What they don't realize is that 213 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: interest rates are probably going to continue the skyrocket, and 214 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: you're going to end up paying for that house for 215 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: a longer period of time. But the most important thing, 216 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: like Triple said, is you have no equity. And when 217 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: you have no equity in a home, you have no asset. 218 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: And when you have no asset, you can't use that 219 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: home to then fund other businesses exactly. And that's what 220 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: they don't want. They don't want us to own homes 221 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: or land because now you don't have an asset that 222 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: you can utilize for our things. So they want to 223 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: keep you in that cycle of working. If you have 224 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: a mortgage that you have to pay for fifty years, 225 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: you buy a home when you're thirty, that means until 226 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: you're eighty, you're going to be working to pay off 227 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: this mortgage. 228 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 10: Average lifespan of Americans is seventy three. You're not getting 229 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 10: that home. 230 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: And that's but's the thing that's the plan, because everything 231 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: else always it keeps us on the hamster wheel. This 232 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: is why my other op is, and this is what 233 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: I propose to people, especially young people. If you're in 234 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: your twenties and you're not married yet, and you have 235 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: a group of friends and there's four or five of you, 236 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: I propose this. If it's four or five of you 237 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: in your twenties and you're all working, save your money 238 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: for two years, all put down on a house, put 239 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: a huge down payment on that house, or you don't 240 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: have those fifty year mortgages, and you all move in 241 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: there and live together. Rather than you living in an 242 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: apartment building and paying rent. You all pay what's considered 243 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: rent for your room, but you're paying into an investment 244 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: that you own. Now the four of you have that house. 245 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: Now that you have the house, you also have the 246 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: capital and the equity because if y'all four want to 247 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: start a business, you can borrow against the house to 248 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: start a business. But also you're saving because you're not 249 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: paying a high monthly mortgage payment that would. 250 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: Be my I actually know somebody who's doing this, but 251 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 2: they it's not that her and these women who live 252 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: with her purchase the house. Someone purchased the house five bedrooms, 253 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 2: and she's like, I'm considering moving out of my apartment 254 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 2: into a house. So the first thing I thought of 255 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: is like, girl, you're trying to live in a house, 256 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 2: an actual househouse with five other women that are strangers. 257 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: She said, well, yeah, these people have these room for 258 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: rooms for rent, so I have to go through the 259 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: whole process in order to be selected. So she ended 260 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: up getting a room and she's renting one room for 261 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: five hundred dollars a month. 262 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 6: Wow. 263 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 2: There are some other young ladies who live they're all 264 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 2: like minded work. You know, she has her own business, 265 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 2: so she's often out and she's like, I realized I 266 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 2: don't spend any time in my apartment. I'm literally just 267 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: showering for the next day and then I'm you know, 268 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: I'm working all day. So she said, we all kind 269 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 2: of have similar stories. Ones in nursing school, ones doing this, that, 270 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 2: and the third. So they all pay five hundred dollars 271 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 2: a month in rent, they share the common spaces, you know, 272 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 2: of course, mutual respect. It kind of reminds me of 273 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: like dorms back in the day in college and stuff 274 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: like that. But I'm like, I didn't even think about, 275 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: you know, adults, grown adults doing this. 276 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 4: So that's awesome if you had a group of friends 277 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 4: that can do something similar. 278 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: Well, we have to start thinking like the companies. The 279 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: companies are getting smart. All of these major companies that 280 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: Tribble was talking about, they're buying up properties or building subdivisions, right, 281 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: and then what they're doing is after they're building them, 282 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: they have another company under a different name that buys 283 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: the homes, which sets the sale price. So now if 284 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: you build these homes for say three hundred thousand dollars, 285 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: you're a big company. You build these homes for three 286 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: hundred thousands, you now open up a shell company you 287 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,719 Speaker 1: buy those homes that you that you built for three 288 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: hundred for nine hundred thousand, And what it does is 289 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: it sets the price in the area that these houses 290 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: are worth nine hundred thousand dollars. You then take the 291 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: equity that you got from that house that you built 292 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: and you put it in your bank account. But then 293 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: you start renting to people who can forward to live 294 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: in those areas. So now you're making money again on 295 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: top of the money that you already got after building 296 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: these homes. A lot more companies are putting together subdivisions 297 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: like this, or buying out all of the homes in 298 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: the subdivision so that they can create renters out of homeowners, 299 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: like Triple that's talking about. So we should use group 300 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: economics to work together. And it's easier to use group 301 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: economics when you're in your twenties and your single. We 302 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: did it a little bit with my brother when we 303 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: were married and my brother had his first child, and 304 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: it's difficult for families. Yeah, but we did it with 305 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: Belaa as well. But yeah, all you twenty year old 306 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: twenty somethings use group economics man get together and buy 307 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: properties early. 308 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: It's part of the sacrifice that can in turn not 309 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: be that much of a sacrifice. You can use it 310 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 2: as an asset to borrow against or y'all sell and 311 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 2: then split the split the proceeds. 312 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, who where people you trust? 313 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: That's a fact that her homegirl was like living with 314 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: four other grown ass women. 315 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 4: I'm like, what does that look like? 316 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 2: All I can think of, like, you know, worst case 317 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: scenario personality clashing or somebody having a guest over not 318 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: cleaning the kitchen and whatnot. But she said, no, everybody 319 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: gets along well does what they gotta do, So that 320 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 2: was a good scenario for her. 321 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, if I was a single woman 322 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: living in this time, knowing how so many women are 323 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: end up being lost or get taken, I would feel 324 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: comfortable living with a group of women who went through 325 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: a process to know that we all live in this 326 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: house and we have a shared space. I think that's smart. 327 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: I think it would be even smarter if groups of 328 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: women did that and start buying properties as opposed to 329 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: just renting from someone who's already bought the property. That's 330 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: just a way to build an asset. And for people 331 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: who want to know how easy it is start an LLC. 332 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: All of your friends have y'all put the money in 333 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: you have the LLC, y'all make yourselves equal partners in 334 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: the LLC, and you all put down the same amount 335 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: for the deposit, and y'all all have equal ownership. And 336 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: then when you sell a property, it sold to the LLC, 337 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: and then the process go to the LLC and you 338 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: split it evenly. Because people ask like, how do you 339 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: do that? How do you buy a house with a 340 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: group of four people? Do an LLC and you buy 341 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: it through the LLC and you have one entity purchased 342 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: the home to. 343 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 4: That there you go smart. I love it. 344 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 11: I think it's a good idea as well, because one 345 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 11: of my biggest fears as a single person living alone 346 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 11: is that I'm going to choke in there? 347 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 6: Oh my god, can you imagine? 348 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: I never thought about that because I'm never by myself. Imagine. 349 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 4: I didn't even think about choking. 350 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 2: For me. It was just like how the girls zip 351 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: themselves into dresses like that would be my thing. 352 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 6: I haven't had. 353 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: Worried about death, You worried about fashion. 354 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 12: I can't wait now because myself upright? 355 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 4: Who does? 356 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: Yeah? 357 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 4: I didn't even think on a chair with the chair? 358 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: I do you good? 359 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 10: I don't. You don't know either. 360 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 6: You just slam yourself against the table pretty. 361 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: Much your solar plexus. That's that's where the air comes from. 362 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 10: I was thinking that just drop. 363 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: Most people do that and it's just the air comes 364 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: out from. 365 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 11: Yeah, there is a group of white women men who 366 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 11: have like a plot of land that they bought and 367 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 11: they lived together there, which I thought, I think that's 368 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 11: pretty cool communal living. 369 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 6: We got to get back to that. But back to 370 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 6: the financial talk. 371 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 11: I saw a video on I think it's called Diary 372 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 11: of a CEO that podcast, and this woman was saying, 373 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 11: if you don't have a million dollars, you shouldn't even 374 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 11: think about passive income. You should focus on making your 375 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 11: first million dollars before you invest any money. 376 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 2: Or Noah, your business mastermind, what are you say? 377 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 10: No, I'm too broke. We all gonna listen to. 378 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 11: Got I got about twenty two to fifty toward my 379 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 11: first million, twenty two dollars and fifty cent. 380 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: Right there. Trouble But no, it's only because because of 381 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: that is part of the reason why I would say No, 382 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: most people in their lifetime would never accrue a million dollars, 383 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: so automatically you're eliminating like ninety percent of the population 384 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: and telling them you can't be an entrepreneur. I will 385 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: never in my life do that because I didn't make 386 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: a million dollars when I started my businesses. The biggest 387 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: thing you need when you start a business is capital, right, 388 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: but most of the time you don't want to use 389 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: your own capital anyway. Also, if you are working and 390 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: starting a business, you should also still continue to work. 391 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: So I would never just start a business and quit 392 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 1: my job. I would always have my job and do 393 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: the business. And I probably wouldn't quit my job until 394 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: I was probably seven figures in the red, I mean 395 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: in the green, you know, in the black. That's like, 396 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: I can't imagine myself saying, oh, I'm an entrepreneur. I 397 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: just made a million dollars. Is just quitting my job. 398 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine that if I was making that type 399 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: of money, because, as you all know, if a business 400 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: is businesses need solvency, and there's ebbs and flows. You 401 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: can make a lot of money in six months, and 402 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: then you hit a span where there's no money. And 403 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: now even if you tried to scale a business slowly, 404 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: when you don't have money and money runs out, now 405 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: your business is suffering and a lot of businesses fold 406 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: because they don't have capital. I wouldn't say work to 407 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: make the million dollars. I would say, try to raise 408 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: the funds. You raise the funds by creating pitches. You 409 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: have ideas ideas, take less time to show people than 410 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: it does to actually do the idea itself. That's gonna 411 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: take you years to do. For all entrepreneurs, man find 412 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: some like minded people and raise funds. And when I 413 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: say raise funds, I don't mean ask them for money. 414 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: I mean create an investment plan where you plan on 415 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: paying back the investors in time. Focus the time when 416 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: you're not working on building your strategy for your business 417 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: rather than just throwing shit against the wall. But I 418 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't put a number on a million dollars. Is the 419 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: only way you start like, we've made a crap ton 420 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: of money. When I only had thirty thousand dollars in 421 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: the bank, we were able to survive when I had 422 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: twenty two to fifty in the bank. You know what 423 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Just manipulating funds right, doing stuff that's not 424 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: always the best, like using an American Express card or 425 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. 426 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 4: But if I would waitload ourselves. 427 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: Some times you have to float just so. But if 428 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: I would have waited till I had a million dollars, 429 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: I'd still be waiting. So I just don't agree with that. 430 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree with Matt. I'm too broke 431 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 11: on a gam I don't do. 432 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: You know how hard it is to just make a 433 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: million dollars and save a million dollars like that is 434 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: extremely difficult. Think about it. If even if you make 435 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: a million dollars in a year, say you live in 436 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: a place like New York, they're taxing you forty eight percent, 437 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: So now you've only made five hundred and twenty thousand 438 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: and you have living expenses. 439 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 4: So I don't see it. 440 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: And this is important for people to understand. I learned 441 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: my first year in the NFL. I made two hundred 442 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: and seventy five thousand dollars, and I thought that I 443 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: was going to be able to save it. Remember, I 444 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: made it in four months, and by the time February came, 445 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: after living and trying, you know, after living from September 446 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: through December and playing ball, February came, I only had 447 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: seventy eight thousand dollars left and I was like I 448 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: got to live from February all the way till September 449 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: on seventy eight, when I just made two seventy five 450 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: and four months, which shows you how much expenses and 451 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: taxes are. 452 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 4: So mean you weren't even privileged and you were like 453 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 4: bare minimum. 454 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: You know me, don't I don't spend a bad time. 455 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 1: It would have taken me, even making two seventy five 456 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: and being frivolous, it would have taken me fifteen years 457 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: if I never went on a vacation nothing to just 458 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: save a million dollars. Nobody got that type of time. 459 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and that's making two seventy five. 460 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: Most people don't make two seventy five. So what are 461 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: we telling people Exactly? You make seventy thousand dollars ill 462 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: you save money for forty years and they have a 463 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: fifty year mortgage, and then you start a business. There's 464 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: no way in life. But that's why Americans feel like 465 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: the American dream has gone, because how do you tell 466 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: people to start businesses in America If you're telling us 467 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: we need a million dollars, but then you're also telling 468 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 1: us that it takes thirty years to make a million dollars, 469 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: so I start this dream when I'm twenty, and then 470 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: when I'm fifty I can actually start. Nah. I think 471 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: the struggle in America has to be the redistribution of wealth. Right, 472 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: I probably end up to watch this for saying this, 473 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: But the fact that one percent of the population controls 474 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the world's wealth is a problem. 475 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: Like we all as people can't survive if that continues 476 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: to be the trend. And the truth is, it shouldn't 477 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: be up to the working class people or poor people 478 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: to figure the motherfucker out, you know what I'm saying. 479 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there has to be a point where you 480 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: realize living in abundance and opulence is not helping yourself neither, 481 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: because if there's nothing left because you've taken everything, what 482 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: have we really done? You know what I'm saying, Like 483 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: around you, I'm sorry that kind of just bothered me 484 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: hearing that, because it's just so condescending to say to 485 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: someone don't start till you get a million dollars. Like everybody, 486 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: not Donald Trump, who's dad can give him a million 487 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: dollar loan. You know what I'm saying, Some of us 488 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: actually have to fucking work it does take chances. People 489 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: have plans, believe in yourself work.

If you counted 495 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 10: four people in. 496 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: This room including me, okay, let me technically four people. 497 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 4: Excluding there's definitely five of us. 498 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: What business?

Anybody do anything spestacular? 502 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 11: So I started my llcler, but I have had to change 503 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 11: it to LLC when I moved to Georgia and my 504 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 11: business made more money than I ever expected this year. 505 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 4: Now because you started one question, is. 506 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: It still an LLC or is an LLC registered as 507 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: an escorts an LLC? So you have to and listen 508 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: to this. Change it to an escort because you get 509 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: better tax breaks. LLCs don't get tax breaks. LLCs just 510 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: protect you from getting sued, but that escorp will give 511 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: you better tax exemption. 512 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, it was.

You know what I'm saying. 516 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 4: We made it in front of the other. 517 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, you're not supposed to have money for taxes. 518 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 6: Twenty six. My goal is tax evasion. 519 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: Sound like a Republican to me, but no. I like 520 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: the fact that you started. Hope.

Avoid all 526 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 1: of that. But the biggest thing is you started, and 527 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: you have something. You know you have something on Friday 528 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: trips because I'd be in trouble.

Okay, I 624 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: like that. 625 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 14: Man. 626 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 10: That's a major thing for me, not even the finance 627 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 10: part of it. I just want people to see the 628 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 10: art that I've been creating for years. 629 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell y'all why I'm asking this after I 630 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: hear everybody's if you don't know what about you? 631 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 4: I guess this is kind of it. 632 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: Will it will impact relationships, I guess I'll put it 633 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 2: that way. But it's going to dial us back to 634 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 2: the episode that I did we did where I was like, 635 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 2: sometimes I won't text you back for three four weeks 636 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 2: and you know it's okay. Because friends understand that we'd 637 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 2: be busy, and after losing a dear friend this past year, 638 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 2: I don't want to wait anymore. Like wow, we joke 639 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 2: about like getting out the group chat or trying to 640 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,719 Speaker 2: be intentional with our time, and when you realize that 641 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 2: time runs out, you know, it's unfortunate that losing a 642 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 2: friend who's so dare to me made me realize that there's. 643 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 4: Harm in that. 644 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 2: There's harm in not being intentional about taking time to 645 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: connect with people. And that's not just in passing by, 646 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 2: that's not just in the voice notes, but it's in 647 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 2: physically getting in those spaces. Because I also recall in 648 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five the times that I did take to 649 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 2: meet with people, you know, friends, relationships that I hold dare. 650 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: That time and being intentional just felt so much better. 651 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 2: That are for my mental for my central nervous system, 652 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 2: like everything just felt better when I'm in spaces with 653 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 2: people who I love, in a door like that. 654 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 4: So I want to be more intentional about that this year. 655 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 2: I like it actually connecting and not using the excuse 656 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 2: that I have all the things going on, because life 657 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 2: is not going to stop. It's always going to be 658 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 2: something to do you know, but you have to be 659 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 2: intentional with those relationships. 660 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: So that taught me, Okay, I like that one for me. 661 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 11: Something that I realized a boy myself this last well 662 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 11: twenty twenty five is that I heard a woman say 663 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 11: that she doesn't have imposter syndrome. 664 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 6: She doesn't think she's an imposter. 665 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 11: She has a worthiness wound and so sometimes she doesn't 666 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 11: feel like worthy of doing things that she has to 667 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 11: remind herself of why. And so that's what I want 668 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 11: to work on this year. I think that a lot 669 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 11: of what has kept me from going after the things 670 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 11: that I want is just not feeling worthy, comparing myself 671 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 11: to other people, not feeling like, you know, feeling like 672 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 11: why would somebody want me to do this thing, and 673 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 11: not remembering. 674 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 6: Who I am and what I'm good at the gift right. 675 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, So recently I've been reminding myself of how I 676 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 11: even got here. I wrote it down, and I worked 677 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 11: like tirelessly to become a podcast producer, to become an 678 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 11: on air host, and I made those things happen, and 679 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 11: I almost forgot. 680 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 6: You know, you know what I'm saying. 681 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 11: So that's what I'm working on this here, is just 682 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 11: keeping in touch with how powerful, talented, creative, and capable 683 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 11: I am and going after what I want. 684 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm actually glad you said that trouble, because listening to 685 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: that is part of the reason why I asked that question. 686 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: Being a trainer for so many years, you always get 687 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: people's New Year's resolutions, and I noticed that being a 688 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: trainer January first, I got a lot of new people 689 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: in the door. February first, half of them wasn't there. 690 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: And part of the reason why is because we tend 691 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: to put a number, or we try to antiquate our success, 692 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: and if you fail early, you quit and say next 693 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: year is going to be what it is. That's why 694 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: I didn't want to say finances. I didn't want to 695 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: say relationships, and I didn't want to say what was 696 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: the other one fitness because fitness often comes with a number, 697 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: and if you say by February, I want to be 698 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: down three pounds, and if you only lost two pounds, 699 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: most people just say for it. With finances, if you 700 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: don't make that number by February, or if you haven't 701 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: fallen in love by then, it's Valentine's Day, you buy yourself. 702 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: People quit. So I wanted to ask this question because 703 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: I've noticed when I've given people who are my clients 704 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: a different goal that wasn't numeracle or couldn't be antiquated 705 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: by the end of the month, there was a less 706 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: chance they quit because all they see is progress. You 707 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. So it doesn't matter if Okay, 708 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: I've been working out all month, I didn't lose no weight, 709 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: how many inches did you lose on your waist? Because 710 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: the goal was never wait? You know what I'm saying. 711 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: And I think if more people took that approach with 712 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: the top of the year, it wouldn't be about Okay, 713 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: it's February first, Where am I from when I made 714 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: this resolution? And if I haven't gotten farther enough all 715 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: the years over, I quit When you talked about working 716 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: on something for the betterment of your mind, that's something 717 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: you can't answer, quate. So you only fail if you quit. 718 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. You see that's why it 719 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: was actually perfect. You only fail if you quit. When 720 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: you start to look at New Years like that and 721 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: you just say, I'm not gonna quit. I'm gonna keep 722 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: going because I'm not gonna be a quitter at the 723 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: end of the year, you can look back and see 724 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: how far you've come. 725 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 2: That makes me think of the debate between motivation and discipline, 726 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 2: you know, because with discipline, it's a practice that's put 727 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 2: in place that you do all the time, regardless of 728 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 2: what's happening, regardless of how you feel, regardless of the 729 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 2: elements around you. But then when you wait for motivation, 730 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 2: motivation comes and goes. It's fleeting. So that kind of 731 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,439 Speaker 2: made me think of those two comparisons when you talked 732 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: about quantifying it, because if you're existing more so in 733 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 2: the space of discipline to try to do whatever it 734 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 2: is you're seeking to do, then you don't have to 735 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 2: worry about it coming and going. Discipline is an act 736 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 2: that you do over and over again. How many times 737 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 2: do they say you have to do something become habits. 738 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: It takes thousands of muscle movements to become. 739 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 2: Muscle, to become muscle memory, or for something to become 740 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 2: a habit. Yeah, so, yeah, that's interesting. I think I'm 741 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 2: trying to take that approach more when I go through life. 742 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 1: I have a question for you, do you think it 743 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: requires more discipline to be motivated or more motivation to 744 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 1: be disciplined. Think about it for a second. Think about 745 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: it so again, do you think it requires more discipline 746 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: to be motivated or it requires more motivation to be disciplined. 747 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: The reason why I ask that is because of this. 748 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: There's some days I get in that room and I 749 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 1: got to go work out, and I'm not motivated at all, right, 750 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: but I'm disciplined. It's like yesterday, man, and we just 751 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: kept doing before you did it, you know, before you 752 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: got motivated to go, you just started doing it. Right. 753 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: So for me, discipline is more and more important because 754 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: discipline happens regardless of the motivation. But if you require 755 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 1: motivation for your discipline, if you're not motivated, nothing happens. 756 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 7: Absolutely. 757 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,479 Speaker 1: The reason why I ask that that what goes into 758 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: what I just talked about. Numbers often give you what motivation, 759 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: but numbers don't give you discipline. That's why when you 760 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,760 Speaker 1: set a number and you're not motivated and you fail, 761 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: it's easy to quit. You always got to lead with this. 762 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: Discipline over desire determines your destination. 763 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 4: Did you make that up? 764 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: Or was that something I did? I made it up 765 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, like I heard it several times, said he 766 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: made it up. I made it up. 767 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 6: Find the guy. 768 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: Did it? Go google it. 769 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 6: I put the phrase right now somewhere. 770 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: Discipline over desire determines your destination. It probably don't have 771 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: my name that come up because I put it in 772 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: a post you did. 773 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 4: I was wondering, so it was like we talent when 774 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 4: talent doesn't that's not my card. 775 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 2: I know that was yours, but I heard you say 776 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 2: things often, so like I'm wondering, is. 777 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 4: Triple's looking it up? 778 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 6: It's said notes in Instagram posts on July twenty eight five. 779 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: Mm hmm, somebody else must have tagg it and tag me. 780 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: That's my quote. 781 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,240 Speaker 4: Baby, put it on the shirt. 782 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: It was on the wall, and it was on the 783 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: wall at Prototype. 784 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 4: Discipline it determines your like I know, I've seen it 785 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 4: before you. 786 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: I know the ones that aren't mine. Hard work the talent. 787 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: When talent doesn't work hard, that's not mine. 788 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 4: Right. 789 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 1: Those who say they can and those who say they 790 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: can't are both usually right. That's confucious, right, right, right. 791 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, for every action, there's an 792 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: equal in opposite reaction. That's newton Thirs law. Those are 793 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: things I used to say all the time in prototype right, 794 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: discipline over the determines your destination. It's something I made 795 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: up because I was trying to get these kids to 796 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: be disciplined. All they kept saying to me was I want, 797 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: but I want. I say, you sound like you want, 798 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 1: you desire it, but you're not disciplined. 799 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 4: So can you teach discipline or are you born with it? 800 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: You can definitely teach this, Yeah, you can teach this. 801 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 7: I don't think you're born with discipline. 802 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: Oh. 803 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,720 Speaker 2: You see some people, for example, are their work ethic 804 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 2: or their drive seems to be higher than others. So 805 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 2: my thing is that is that a byproduct of discipline 806 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 2: or is that just how people are. 807 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 11: There's a woman who did a TED talk who said 808 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 11: that grit actually determines success more so than discipline does. 809 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 11: She says that, yeah, kids that have to actually like 810 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 11: fight for their resource adversity. 811 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, so the more the more. 812 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 11: Like challenges they face basically, the more challenges they overcome 813 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,399 Speaker 11: basically determines how well they're going to do more so 814 00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 11: then even she was like disproving Malcolm glad else twenty 815 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 11: thousand hours or whatever. 816 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: Yes, the theory that if you do things for twenty 817 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: thousand hours, you become an expert and you master that skill. 818 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 11: Yeah, she said, grit actually determines that more so so, 819 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 11: I think that also grit helps with discipline. It does, yeah, 820 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 11: having to overcome things. I'd be meeting these women who've 821 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,959 Speaker 11: had the worst childhood you could ever imagine, and they're 822 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 11: like the most successful people I ever met in my life. 823 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 6: No, I definitely. 824 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,879 Speaker 1: I mean, look at the most successful people in the world, 825 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: all gone through like crazy, crazy things. I think that 826 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: grit is ultimately teaches you how to be disciplined when 827 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: you don't when you're not motivated. 828 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 4: Right, or you have no choice. Yeah, in your backs 829 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 4: against the wall. 830 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 2: I remember when we first moved out here, I was 831 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 2: just like, oh my god, Like, we got to find 832 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 2: some adversity for Jackson. Let them walk to the gate 833 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 2: at the subdivision to get picked up from the bus. 834 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 4: I was like, it's not the same as like walking. 835 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 2: Down walking through flatus trying to get on the bus. 836 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: That's not what I bro less what I said, it 837 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 1: was similar. Yeah, But what happened was I was like, Yo, 838 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start letting Jackson take the bus. She was like, 839 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: he need adversity, you know. What I'm saying. We get up, 840 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 1: we drive him to school every day. And then Kate 841 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: was kind to me talking about and yeah, let him 842 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 1: get some adversity walking through these green trees dated community. 843 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: I was like, shut up right though, I'm not gonna. 844 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,760 Speaker 13: I didn't say it like that, but made some squirrels 845 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 13: are real tough tree. 846 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 4: Out here. 847 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, you got deer too, fan white Tail. You know, 848 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: I was a kid man. I seen band be getting shot, 849 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: I see baby walking down. I was like, that's my. 850 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 2: Adversity, thinking the way discipline can't be talked like. I 851 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 2: even look at the boys right for example, and I 852 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 2: can only speak to my children because they might but 853 00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 2: we are very deliberate about making sure that they have 854 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 2: a routine, that they have a structure. 855 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 4: There's things they have to do. 856 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,919 Speaker 2: Devao will say to them, as a man, there's things 857 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 2: that you're going to have to do that you don't 858 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 2: want to do, and you just have to do it. 859 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 2: And that's those are the things that are being ingrained 860 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 2: in them now. So they understand that in life there's 861 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 2: going to be things that you don't want to do, 862 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 2: but they have to get done. And we have some 863 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 2: children of ours who are just naturally, you know, workaholics, 864 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 2: and they want. 865 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 4: To be better and they're going to push. 866 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,399 Speaker 2: And then we have some that are just like, well, 867 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 2: this is the structure and the discipline that's been put 868 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 2: in place, this. 869 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 4: Is what's expected of me. 870 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 2: So when people see our children sometimes and they're successful 871 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,839 Speaker 2: in sports or academics, they're like, damn, like, how did 872 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 2: you get your kids to focus? How did you get 873 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 2: them to And it's just because we're deliberate about being 874 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 2: on them about it. Devau takes them to the park 875 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 2: and a lot of times people will stop and be like, wow, 876 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 2: your kids, Like they listen and they follow instructions, and 877 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 2: we get it from their teachers, and we're like, well, yeah, 878 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 2: because it's what's practiced and expected at home that they 879 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 2: now take out with them into the world. And not 880 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 2: everybody does that with their children, which is fine, you know, 881 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,879 Speaker 2: to each their own. But I can see where all 882 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 2: four of them are gonna have no choice but to 883 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 2: be disciplined with whatever it is that they do, because 884 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 2: they're not gonna fail. Especially if they started, they're not 885 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 2: gonna stop. You're gonna see it through. There's a process, 886 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 2: even if it's something halfway through you realize this may 887 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 2: not be for me. You're gonna have to see it 888 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 2: through till the end. 889 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: So let me ask a question. I know you can 890 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: teach discipline, can you teach great? Because I would be 891 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: the one to say no. I've coached a bunch of kids, 892 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: and I've watched kids come through the same you know 893 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: how Brooklyn is East New York, Flatbush Crown Heights. There's 894 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 1: a lot going on. I've watched kids who I've given 895 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,240 Speaker 1: the same speeches to get up and run to practice. 896 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: If the MTA wasn't working, then I've watched kids get 897 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: up and their dad say they gonna be two minutes late. 898 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: So they say, I'm not going furtther type because I'm 899 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: gonna have to run. It's like, it doesn't it doesn't 900 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 1: matter how much you try to force that aspect. Great 901 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 1: is something you just can't teach. Where does that come from? 902 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 6: Just life? 903 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 4: Life, environment likes. 904 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 11: Just your Yeah, your the experiences that you have growing up. 905 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 11: So I feel like you can probably manufacture experiences that 906 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 11: create grit, Like if you're hungry, you got to make 907 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 11: yourself some food, you know what I'm saying, or whatever, 908 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 11: you can probably manufacture those experiences, But I do think 909 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 11: it comes from the experiences that you grow up in. 910 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 6: How much do you have to see a challenge and 911 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,479 Speaker 6: figure it out on your own? 912 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,799 Speaker 11: How much do you have to like My favorite thing 913 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 11: to say right now is me I was talking to 914 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 11: my therapist about But. 915 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 6: I was talking to my therapists about this the. 916 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 11: Other day about just how to like make the things 917 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 11: that you have to do the things that you want 918 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 11: to do, because at the end of the day, they 919 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 11: are things that you want for yourself, you know what 920 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 11: I'm saying. And people with great I feel like those 921 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 11: things that they have to do are also things that 922 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 11: they want to do because they want to change their circumstance. 923 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question for mentalities. When you 924 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 1: come across something that you don't want to do, what 925 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 1: is your thought process? Because my first thought process is, man, 926 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 1: I really don't want to do this shit, But what 927 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:14,280 Speaker 1: a wonderful opportunity I have yes to prove to myself 928 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 1: that I can do this. Like we and Matt did 929 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 1: not want to work out yesterday, and we was both 930 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,280 Speaker 1: in their life trying to give each other every excuse. 931 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,839 Speaker 1: I went and took the kids to the park came back. 932 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: I was like, if Matt ain't here, I'm not going 933 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 1: to work out. I came back, Matt still here. But 934 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 1: it was just like, those are the things that I 935 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: wonder too. Can you coach a kid? Because we have 936 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 1: four children, they're all different, and they're all different for 937 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: different reasons. Some of it comes with your ability. Jackson, 938 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 1: to me, I think is the most talented naturally of 939 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: all of them. I give Jackson a soccer ball, I'll 940 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 1: come back in ten minutes. Jackson can juggle with both feet. Cairo, 941 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: I give him a soccer ball. I come back in 942 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 1: thirty minutes. He's trying his hardest to do it, but 943 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,799 Speaker 1: he don't have it. The next day, he's now perfected 944 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,920 Speaker 1: the fact that he can juggle. Because Jackson got it 945 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: in ten minutes and put it down. Kirol's practiced it 946 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,840 Speaker 1: so many time and now he can juggle and backflip. 947 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: So to me, it's like when a kid struggles with 948 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 1: something a lot, I've noticed that kid typically is the 949 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: one to be like, I'm going to get it. The 950 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: kid that just comes natural. Cazz, you see how lacks 951 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: of aasical cas is. But then Kaz goes out there 952 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: and just scores a touchdown, no training. Sometimes it's hard 953 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 1: for me to enforce grit because he like, but that 954 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: I can do this whenever I want. So do you 955 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: think ability? It sounds like ability really enforces how much 956 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 1: grit you need to be successful? Ability, you know what 957 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying, because if you just good at stuff early 958 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: and naturally you don't have to work, it's hard. 959 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 4: I guess. 960 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 2: It depends on what level you want to do certain 961 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 2: things right, So you would hope that you would hope that, 962 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 2: for example, Kaz if he did want to then eventually 963 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 2: be a big time soccer player, that's going to require 964 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 2: a certain level of hours put in. 965 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 4: It's not just to say I can do it and 966 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 4: then do it. 967 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 2: It depends on how far you'd like to go in 968 00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 2: whatever subject or area that is. You know, I understand 969 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 2: too now when you say, for example, with Jackson, figure 970 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 2: it out, you see figure it out, because I'm inclined 971 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 2: as mom to be like, well, the the writing's on 972 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 2: the wall. For example, Jackson knows that he has two 973 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,720 Speaker 2: exams on a Thursday, so he does his notes or whatever. 974 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 2: He's like, Mom, can you test me on it? Wednesday night? 975 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 2: Jay hits him and he's like, yo, we in five 976 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 2: ams tomorrow morning, and then he has practice in the 977 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 2: middle of the day, and then he has practice after school, 978 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 2: so he's essentially gonna have three different workouts, two exams. 979 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:34,479 Speaker 4: You gotta be up. 980 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 2: At five am. So then you're talking to him, and 981 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 2: Joshon's just like, damn, I got two tests. I got this, 982 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 2: I got that. So devows like, well, what are you 983 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 2: gonna do? And I'm inclined to be like, well, you 984 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 2: can't go to five ams because mentally, you have to 985 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 2: be rested to do these exams because you know that 986 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 2: that's a priority. You're gonna do three workouts and then 987 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 2: two exams and then not be able to focus because 988 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 2: you haven't slept enough and you're gonna be tired. That's 989 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 2: my mind, and the DEVO is like, hey, let him 990 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 2: figure it out, talk it through us, through it with 991 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 2: us saying if you're if you're unsure about what you 992 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 2: should do or where the priority lies, talk it through. 993 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 2: And then that's what Deval kind of coaxed them into doing. 994 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 2: And then he figured out, Okay, it's not in my 995 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 2: best interest to be up Therefore thirty in the morning, 996 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 2: I can go to practice midday in gym practice later, 997 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 2: and then I can focus, get a good night's sleep 998 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:26,440 Speaker 2: on my exam. So it's just really allowing the adversity 999 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 2: and the critical thinking to find a way to match, 1000 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 2: way to work each other out. 1001 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,719 Speaker 1: Yes, And as a parent it's hard sometimes to let 1002 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: you ship your child do that because what need, what 1003 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,400 Speaker 1: requires critical thinking for them is often very obvious for 1004 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,839 Speaker 1: us because we've lived it before, right, So and think 1005 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: about how we quipple them as a parent. It's like 1006 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: we take away all the critical thinking skills and then 1007 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 1: they become adults who never had to critically think. 1008 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 4: We know some stuff like that. 1009 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 1: Now you know they're making freaking New York's resolutions and 1010 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 1: don't have any grit to see it through, like this 1011 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:56,800 Speaker 1: is really what. 1012 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,319 Speaker 2: Happened, or can't even make the decision. We know some 1013 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 2: adults that are like I don't know what I should do, 1014 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 2: or you know, they're they're they're eventually not making a 1015 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 2: decision or missing an opportunity because they're indecisive and they 1016 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,839 Speaker 2: want someone to make the decision for them. So we've 1017 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,840 Speaker 2: realized that by seeing even people around us, you know, 1018 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 2: even some of our family members who are a bit younger, 1019 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,399 Speaker 2: but you know they're older now, and it's like, man, 1020 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 2: like your mom and dad used to do everything for you. 1021 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 2: That how you know, So even with Jackson interacting with coaches, 1022 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 2: it's like, we're not going to talk to you, yea 1023 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 2: when it comes to your coach. That's not my coach, 1024 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 2: that's your coach. So you're gonna have to develop that 1025 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 2: relationship and figure out how to communicate effectively, to be 1026 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 2: an advocate for yourself, but also be respectful of what 1027 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 2: they're requiring of you. 1028 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:38,840 Speaker 6: You know. 1029 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, my mind is going right now. That's why I'm 1030 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 1: coming quiet because now I'm thinking about ways to make 1031 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: my kids more gritty. Like I'm over here just thinking 1032 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 1: about what I'm about. 1033 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 4: To the obstacle course the door. 1034 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,399 Speaker 1: No more sneakers, it's got to be cold every day. 1035 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna just find ways, you know, to make 1036 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: them do things they don't want to do. Because the 1037 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 1: more I think about it, I don't know one successful 1038 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,719 Speaker 1: person other than someone who's inherited millions of dollars who 1039 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 1: got successful without being gritty. You can be as smart 1040 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 1: as you want, but there's gonna come the moments where 1041 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,319 Speaker 1: nothing is happening. Yeah, you gotta pivot and you got 1042 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:15,960 Speaker 1: to make some shit shape. 1043 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 4: You gotta be gretty. I'm saying a little delusional, a 1044 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,720 Speaker 4: little insane, A lot of delusional, have some audacity. 1045 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:23,800 Speaker 6: Some audacity that gotta have word. 1046 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 4: To do stuff. 1047 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,440 Speaker 2: And I mean the stakes are low right now for 1048 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 2: our kids. So for like Jackson, for example, like this 1049 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 2: morning is cold outside, right. I ready told him, I 1050 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,799 Speaker 2: sent my guy, if you get sick and I don't 1051 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 2: see if you get sick and I don't see you 1052 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 2: was wearing your jacket, your sweatshirt. 1053 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,879 Speaker 4: This that the third don't come to me over here, mouth. 1054 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: I can't. 1055 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:44,840 Speaker 4: I don't want to hear it. I don't want to 1056 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 4: hear it. 1057 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,360 Speaker 2: So this morning he comes out with short sleeve school 1058 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,920 Speaker 2: shirt on.

Because she even said that, she said, 1288 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 1: all you do is pick him up from school, And 1289 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:50,280 Speaker 1: his mind is like, what do you mean all I 1290 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:51,840 Speaker 1: do is pick him up from school? What if I 1291 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,640 Speaker 1: said to you, all you do is get them ready 1292 01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:54,240 Speaker 1: for some it's the. 1293 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:55,800 Speaker 4: Whole sit at home and eat. What you got a 1294 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,640 Speaker 4: problem with eating? That's what I'm saying, sit at home 1295 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:01,920 Speaker 4: and eat. It felt like a little jab. 1296 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 1: I think does she work? I don't think she works now. 1297 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 1: She don't work now because she said during my pregnancy I. 1298 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 4: Worked, so maybe she's not. 1299 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 1: Don't work right now. So in his mind, it's like, 1300 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: if I work at nights and you home all day. 1301 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:17,520 Speaker 1: Now you're telling me I got to get up and 1302 01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,040 Speaker 1: take him to school sometimes and go to work at night. 1303 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,600 Speaker 1: All you do is stay home all day. That's what 1304 01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,840 Speaker 1: in his mind is what he's saying. That doesn't mean 1305 01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,880 Speaker 1: it's fair, but that's exactly what he's saying. And in 1306 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:29,960 Speaker 1: her mind. She's saying, I'm with the kids all day. 1307 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,240 Speaker 1: You get a reprieve, you get to go to work 1308 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 1: and be with adults. I got to be home with 1309 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 1: the kids. The least you can do is pick them 1310 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,560 Speaker 1: up from school because I wake up early. And you 1311 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. What they have to do is 1312 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,120 Speaker 1: learn how to communicate not only their needs, but also say, hey, 1313 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 1: this is what I'm doing on my end. You might 1314 01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:46,960 Speaker 1: not be able to see what I'm doing, but there's 1315 01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 1: a lot of work that goes over here. And if 1316 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,400 Speaker 1: they learn how to do that to each other, they'll 1317 01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,240 Speaker 1: they'll stop using those moments where they miss each other 1318 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,360 Speaker 1: to pick at each other because we. 1319 01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 4: Used to do that. 1320 01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 1: About to say that, it's just. 1321 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 2: Like I've been thinking to myself, I'm like, if I 1322 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,960 Speaker 2: only knew everything that's happening in my brain, fact. 1323 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,040 Speaker 4: Who got what theme day? Who got what teacher got me? 1324 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 4: And who gotta be where? 1325 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:10,320 Speaker 1: When? Who? What? 1326 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:14,160 Speaker 4: Bill got paid last? And like he doesn't know half 1327 01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:17,480 Speaker 4: of the stuff. What's Katz's shoe size? What shoe size? 1328 01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:18,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. 1329 01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:20,400 Speaker 4: I don't know all the stuff in my brain. 1330 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,360 Speaker 2: But then he'll be like, Okay, did you realize that 1331 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:25,360 Speaker 2: this has to get done. And I've been doing this 1332 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,200 Speaker 2: and I've been talking to this person, that person, the 1333 01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,520 Speaker 2: liquors Throat and Sean, and I'm just like, well, damn, 1334 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,920 Speaker 2: we both have our gamuts and things that have to 1335 01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:32,439 Speaker 2: get done. 1336 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,800 Speaker 1: Like to me, it's like, I don't know cash shoe sides, 1337 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,560 Speaker 1: but if I die right, what happens? You know, I'm saying, 1338 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 1: God forbid, I'm knock gonna what what? Sometimes as a partner, 1339 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 1: you feel like that, it's like you've just belittled my 1340 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 1: purpose in this relationship by saying all you do is 1341 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 1: all they have to do is change their communication styles. 1342 01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:54,880 Speaker 1: They'll realize that they love each other and it'll be over. 1343 01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 1: There really is no beef there, Like, that's not beef. 1344 01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,120 Speaker 2: That's not beef, and you're just trying something different that 1345 01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 2: they can try something different. That probably was just something 1346 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,840 Speaker 2: eating at her for a me and she's like, well, 1347 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:05,960 Speaker 2: let me see if he'll do this, and it's like 1348 01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,960 Speaker 2: ultimately make a date night that usually try to solve everything. 1349 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,280 Speaker 1: Can we point out something, though, can we just point 1350 01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,440 Speaker 1: out something. I understand that she's home, she's probably it's 1351 01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:18,600 Speaker 1: a newbornsorn child, but I think it's unfair though, sometimes 1352 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:22,240 Speaker 1: when it's just like you do this, I do this, 1353 01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:26,240 Speaker 1: let's just switch. It's unfair for anybody to do that 1354 01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:28,800 Speaker 1: to somebody because you no longer like the role in 1355 01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 1: your relationship at the moment. You know what I'm saying, 1356 01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,640 Speaker 1: it's just like I don't like this, so let's just 1357 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,440 Speaker 1: change yourself to do that. You can't do that to 1358 01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,200 Speaker 1: somebody when we have routines, because then what are you 1359 01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,360 Speaker 1: saying that you think my routine is easy? You know 1360 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:44,240 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If people learn how to not offend 1361 01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,640 Speaker 1: people by asking for a change, that's the biggest thing here. 1362 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,360 Speaker 1: That routine may get monotonous every day, I gotta do it. 1363 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,560 Speaker 1: What if she said, babe, how about you take them? 1364 01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 1: How about you get up in the morning, I'll pick 1365 01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 1: them up from school, because then it doesn't seem like 1366 01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,320 Speaker 1: it's not like you just take on more things. 1367 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,600 Speaker 2: That's just you know what, morning routines are so fun 1368 01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,560 Speaker 2: taking our son. You should experience what it's like to 1369 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,240 Speaker 2: take him to schools onill mornings and it's not just 1370 01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:09,160 Speaker 2: pick up or something. 1371 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,120 Speaker 1: She don't got to lie, But I'm just saying, like. 1372 01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,520 Speaker 2: If that's what she enjoyed. Like, you're right, she may 1373 01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:15,840 Speaker 2: not enjoy it, but because. 1374 01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 1: If she enjoyed it, she wouldn't be asking for the swift. 1375 01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:17,840 Speaker 6: That's true. 1376 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,080 Speaker 1: I'm just saying in a way point. But even even 1377 01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:22,760 Speaker 1: if you're trying to prove the point, offer in a 1378 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 1: way where you don't dismiss your partner's role. Because when 1379 01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,800 Speaker 1: you say something like I get up every morning and 1380 01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:30,440 Speaker 1: all you do is pick him up to school, then 1381 01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 1: he's going to say something like we all you do 1382 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:33,960 Speaker 1: is sit at home and eat while I work at night. 1383 01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 1: And then you say, well, why would he say that? 1384 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:38,520 Speaker 1: When he said that, because you diminished his role and 1385 01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:39,080 Speaker 1: then don't make it. 1386 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 4: Eat his leftovers, it's given. 1387 01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:45,760 Speaker 2: Something like that the whole sit at home and eat 1388 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:47,959 Speaker 2: or like does he feel like you like aren't taking 1389 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,760 Speaker 2: care of yourself and maybe gained a couple of pounds? 1390 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,120 Speaker 4: Like what, what's the whole follow up with the whole? 1391 01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:52,320 Speaker 6: Why? 1392 01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:53,960 Speaker 4: He was just like, you sit at home and eat 1393 01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:54,400 Speaker 4: all day? 1394 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,320 Speaker 1: I just told you why he said that. I just 1395 01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,760 Speaker 1: told you he said that because she diminished his role. 1396 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 1: All you do, he's the earner in the house, he 1397 01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,680 Speaker 1: works at nights. All you do is pick him up. 1398 01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 1: That's all I do. Now, he got a jab. I'm 1399 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,040 Speaker 1: not saying it's right, but he has to throw a 1400 01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:13,160 Speaker 1: jab and the jab ain't right. But you gotta admit 1401 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 1: that she said something foul first. We're not gonna get 1402 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:18,040 Speaker 1: for her past. You know what I'm saying, ladies, Because 1403 01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, Tripple ain't gonna ever point out when a 1404 01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:21,680 Speaker 1: woman do notthing wrong. She never that's not gonna happen, 1405 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:24,480 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. He's like, Tripple is like, 1406 01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:25,479 Speaker 1: I still don't see what's wrong. 1407 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:34,040 Speaker 11: There's another note, another note from our therapist. She says 1408 01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,400 Speaker 11: that anger is a secondary emotion, So we're talking about 1409 01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:39,520 Speaker 11: communicating better. You get mad at your partner, you got 1410 01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:41,480 Speaker 11: to think about what am I really feeling. 1411 01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:44,520 Speaker 1: Absolutely I agree with that. I agree with that because 1412 01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,600 Speaker 1: he's not right for responding that way. I'm not saying that, 1413 01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,120 Speaker 1: but we're not gonna make it seem like it wasn't. 1414 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:53,000 Speaker 4: Follow up a jab punch out. 1415 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,720 Speaker 1: All you do is eat as well.

There's probably some issues going on. 1420 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:08,120 Speaker 4: You're definitely there. 1421 01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,680 Speaker 13: I talked about it. I also assumed real quick. I 1422 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,960 Speaker 13: also assume that he's home seeing her because he works 1423 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:18,560 Speaker 13: at night seeing her, he sees her probably doing. 1424 01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:19,520 Speaker 1: It's a good point. 1425 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good point. Yeah, he's probably just like, 1426 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:23,520 Speaker 4: look ahead eating. 1427 01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:25,280 Speaker 7: I judge, you said, you do what you. 1428 01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:28,800 Speaker 4: Want, work. 1429 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:30,800 Speaker 10: Too much? 1430 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:32,439 Speaker 1: Too much? 1431 01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 4: Oh my god. 1432 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,320 Speaker 2: All right, y'all, email us at the top of the year. 1433 01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 2: Get those emails rolling in.
