Why I can never 89 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 2: live in New York. 90 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 6: But anyway, so I said to him, why have you 91 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 6: dedicated so much space over here to this? And he said, 92 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 6: because right now pickup is say three percent. 93 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 2: Of our volume. 94 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 6: But we project that will be and I'm pretty sure 95 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 6: on the three percent. We project that'll be ten percent 96 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 6: by the end of next year, and within five years 97 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 6: that will be twenty five percent.

But I'm talking about the delivery services. 102 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 6: And so what you're seeing is the job opportunities have changed. 103 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 6: Now your job opportunities are in the gig economy as 104 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 6: an uber each driver or a door dash driver. And 105 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 6: there are people I don't know what the numbers are. 106 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 6: I'd be interested to know. There are people that if 107 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 6: you get in the back of their uber or their lift, 108 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 6: will tell you I used to. 109 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 2: Be a supervisor.

If they're good leaders, good at operations, 112 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 6: they may they will hold on for longer. The attrition 113 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 6: will hit them later, but it's coming. But the people 114 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 6: who are simply supervisors, your job is to keep five 115 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 6: Mexicans from screwing stuff up. Your job is to make 116 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 6: sure that five guys show up to work and don't 117 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 6: steal anything, or and they count of mostly work. Those 118 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 6: jobs will go away because as you don't need people 119 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 6: to perform clerical tasks, you don't need people to manage them, 120 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 6: you don't need hr to handle badging, you don't need 121 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 6: office space for them to work in. You're going to 122 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 6: see the transition of buildings that already exist. You're going 123 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 6: to see them transitioning the way you saw. Some of 124 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 6: them become sell storage, low value office space, C grade 125 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 6: office space. 126 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: Some of that became cell storage. 127 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 6: Who would have guessed the highest and best use of 128 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 6: a six story building, air conditioned in C grade location 129 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 6: would be as storage space, not where people work.

Man. 174 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 6: My dad was just trying to create experiences for me 175 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 6: that would broaden my horizons. 176 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: And make me think differently, make me look at the 177 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: world differently. 178 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: You know. 179 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 6: I think about I think about Steve Jobs in Wozniak, 180 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 6: and I think about the fact that they that they 181 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 6: imagine all of the things that used to take. 182 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 2: Up your entire desk. 183 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 6: In a little bit of phone, and in fact the 184 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 6: phone is bigger than it needs to be. They used 185 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 6: to be smaller. 186 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 2: They figured out people liked it bigger, and I go, wow, 187 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 2: how did you think of that? It's brilliant. 188 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 6: I don't like Zuckerberg or the Winklevosses for that matter, 189 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 6: but to imagine that as we were increasingly technological, increasingly 190 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 6: retreating to our homes and avoiding social spaces the dance hall, 191 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 6: the club, the bar, the park. As that happened, we 192 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 6: still needed human connection. 193 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: We crave it. 194 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 6: We still have the same DNA, We still have the 195 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 6: desire for fellowship, fraternity, for interaction, for gossip. 196 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: We want to know who died. We wan't to know who. 197 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 6: Got remarried, who got divorced. We want the tea, as 198 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 6: the kids say, we want to see. 199 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 2: All those things. And so Facebook gave that opportunity. Who 200 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 2: would have guessed Who would have guessed. 201 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 6: That we would that there would be a technological replacement 202 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 6: for so much of our lives. I love Facebook. I 203 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 6: hate the company, I hate the people. I love the ability. 204 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 6: Saturday afternoon, nothing was painting. George and I sat outside. 205 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 6: She was sitting outside by the fountain painting. I'm sitting 206 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 6: out there with her, and she'd say, Hey, you know 207 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 6: what do you think about this, And I said, what 208 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 6: do you think about this? And then we go back 209 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 6: to our own low and I was posting on Facebook 210 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 6: and interacting with people, and you. 211 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: Know, what are you all up to today? I love that. 212 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 2: I enjoy the heck out of that. 213 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 6: I am unashamed that I would practically rather gather virtually. Mostly, 214 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 6: I would rather gather virtually than in the crowd because 215 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 6: I don't have to get there. 216 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 2: Or get back. 217 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 6: I don't have to worry how I'm gonna extricate myself 218 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 6: from this situation. I don't have to dress. I can 219 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 6: wear you know, shorts. Those are the ways. 220 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: Those are some of the. 221 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 6: Ways technology is changing our lives, and we'll continue to 222 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 6: change our lives. Listener, John Manlow. Holiday Manlow has a 223 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 6: company called Cursive Media that I think what you were 224 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 6: referring to is Moore's law. MOORI is the idea that 225 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 6: computer chips get about twice as powerful every couple of 226 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 6: years while also getting cheaper. 227 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 2: And then the singularity is what you were talking. 228 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 6: About, the idea that at some point AI and technology 229 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 6: will get so advanced so fast that everything will change 230 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 6: beyond what we can even imagine. There is a fear 231 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 6: by Altman and Musk and other guys that are far 232 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 6: deeper into this, and I ever want to be of 233 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 6: how fast the robots become more powerful than us as 234 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 6: sci fi movie kind of stuff, but it's real because 235 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 6: there's no artificial restriction on their strength. And how would 236 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 6: you who's going to decide how we're going to restrict 237 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 6: these robots. We know that they're moving at the speed 238 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 6: of light. We know this, So let's go back to 239 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 6: your kids. I got an EMO from a woman. She 240 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 6: does data entry or a bank, and that bank has 241 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 6: now been bought by a bank in another state. I'm 242 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 6: not authorized to say what the company is not going 243 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 6: to so that I'm going to leave the details of that. 244 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 6: She does data entry. She said, I'm sixty two. I'm 245 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 6: too young to retire. I can move to the headquarters 246 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 6: multiple states away, but I don't want to do that. 247 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 6: So right now we're just cleaning up the books for 248 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 6: the transfer, and my job is only guaranteed through August. 249 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 2: You're going to watch. 250 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 6: People lose their job at a rate that is going 251 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 6: to look like a war. It's just going to be 252 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 6: one after the other after the other, and you won't 253 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 6: notice it. Till you see the aggregate numbers. But you're 254 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 6: going to notice that your sister in law lost her 255 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 6: jobs job. A lot of these are women operated jobs, 256 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 6: clerk positions and data entry positions and customer service positions. 257 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 6: The airlines are trying to get out of the customer 258 00:14:54,480 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 6: service business altogether, and they are investing heavily in chatbots. 259 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 6: And if you've ever had a conversation, it is for 260 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 6: our for our kids or grandkids that won't they'll they'll 261 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 6: be robots themselves. But for me, I cannot deal with 262 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 6: the chatbot. I just I lose interest, you know what. 263 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 6: I just won't go on that trip, just forget it. 264 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 6: But there will be enough people who will transition slow 265 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 6: lyubiturely that it will make it make sense. When they 266 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 6: sent all the phone answering systems to India, there was kickback, 267 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 6: but people eventually fell in line. When Sam Walton decided 268 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 6: to start importing from China and no longer saying made 269 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 6: in America, there was kickback for a. 270 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: Moment and then it went away. 271 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 6: But as it relates to your kids and their success, 272 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 6: I think you have to understand you can't just send 273 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 6: your kid to public school, have them there on time, 274 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 6: pick them up afterwards, dot and do some studying if 275 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 6: you want to give your kids. If that's your goal, 276 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 6: it doesn't have to be. I'm not saying has to be. 277 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 6: There are some things you need to do. 278 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about that coming up. Michael Berry's show. 279 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 6: Hard to have some advice for your kids. You can 280 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 6: take it or leave it. But before we do that, 281 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 6: a quick call from Laura, who has changed industry.

The whole family comes in 325 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 6: Yorkshire and they throw there was that thing called not task, 326 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 6: what they throw their headgear, whatever it's called, doesn't matter, 327 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 6: get their diploma and they're going to be in good shape. 328 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 2: You cannot assume that's going to happen. 329 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 6: You cannot assume that just because you send them to college, 330 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 6: because you saved money all this time, you got a 331 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 6: five twenty nine or Texas whatever it. 332 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: Is, choice, whatever that was, that that's going to be enough. 333 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 2: It's not. 334 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 6: It is going to be insanely more competitive going forward 335 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 6: because there will be fewer opportunities for human beings. 336 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 2: Make no mistake. 337 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 6: Technology is going to replace most of the functions that 338 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 6: humans perform today. You can send around cry over it 339 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 6: like the climate activists. You can sit around and cry 340 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 6: over a lot of things. We're all going to die. 341 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 6: I wouldn't spend a lot of time open over it. 342 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 6: I mean, you can change your life because of it, 343 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 6: but I wouldn't spend a lot of time on it. 344 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 6: That is to say this that in order to be 345 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 6: first of all, I think everybody should be putting themselves 346 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 6: into the position to own their own equity from as 347 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 6: early as they can. And if you don't have the 348 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 6: capital or family run business to do that, you should 349 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 6: be building toward the point that you are self employed. 350 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 6: That should be the case. You know who's going to 351 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 6: have jobs. You know who's going to make money forget jobs. 352 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 6: I hate that word, but to create jobs, government needs 353 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 6: to provide jobs. Everything is about jobs. That is a 354 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 6: weak mentality, as a loser mentality, it really is. But 355 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 6: we have to have a place for people to go. 356 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 6: We'll give them a little money and they'll show up. 357 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 6: That's not how you build excellence. That's not what Edison, 358 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 6: that's not what elon. That's not what forward. You don't 359 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 6: think of. How can we just keep keep people busy 360 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 6: so they don't kill each other. That's the worst way 361 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 6: to look at things. Every person should be striving to 362 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 6: the point that they are in and of themselves able 363 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 6: to add value in some place that maybe my tizable, 364 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 6: maybe it's not. I had to stay at home mom, 365 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 6: I wouldn't trade that for the world. That was so 366 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 6: important to my upbringing. I would not trade that for 367 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 6: the world. I don't know the alternative, but I know 368 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 6: none to take in retirement when it was a sale 369 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 6: and I had to sell it, and I didn't say 370 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 6: you have to do this because that's not our relationship. 371 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 6: But I will tell you I begged, and the kids begged, 372 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 6: and you know, I think she would like to go 373 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 6: back to work after Crocket's gone because she feels bored 374 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 6: or she feels like she will be bored. But if 375 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 6: you are and if that's your role, that's your role. 376 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 6: I'm not saying everybody has to do that. If you're retired, 377 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 6: that's your business. But for everybody else, you should be 378 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 6: striving for the point that you have a skill set 379 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 6: of some sort that other people are going to pay for. 380 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 6: And let's start at this. There are a lot of 381 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 6: people with a loser's mentality that wanting money, that charging 382 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 6: for things and charging good money for it is a 383 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 6: bad thing. I learned very quickly at the RCC. The 384 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 6: person who bitched about ticket prices, do not accommodate. Say 385 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 6: you're right, this isn't for you, and it's not. There's 386 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 6: a bar with chiep for beer down the way. They 387 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 6: don't have security at every door. They don't have bathrooms. 388 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 6: That beaver Applin that founded Bucky said was the cleanest 389 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 6: bathrooms he had ever seen, including his own. But hey, 390 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 6: you know, you go to the hole in the wall 391 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 6: bar where the owners behind the counter and he's got 392 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 6: a shotgun on the counter because they get robbed all 393 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 6: the time, and you save fifty cents per beer. By 394 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 6: all means, that's where you belong. Nothing wrong with that. 395 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 6: You like cheap stuff, you don't like good stuff. I'm 396 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 6: okay with that. You've got to think about what skill 397 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 6: set you have, not that someone else will hire you for, 398 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 6: but someone else. 399 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 2: Will pay you for. 400 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 6: There are a lot of people making good money out 401 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 6: there as a fishing guide, running a power washing business, 402 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 6: or doing power washing, mowing lawns. You'd be surprised painting houses. 403 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 6: Be surprised how many people don't have an employer. And 404 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 6: it's not just about freedom, it's about a future. I 405 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 6: don't think we're going to replace painting with AI so quickly, 406 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 6: or at least I didn't until I saw a machine 407 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 6: they put in a house that put they were doing 408 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 6: concrete fours and it took the crushed concrete and lay it, 409 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 6: trowled it out and it was beautiful and it was 410 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 6: snapped off perfectly. And that guy didn't show up drunk, 411 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 6: he didn't steal from you. I mean, that's the future. 412 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 6: So that's what you have to be putting yourself in 413 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 6: a position to do now for your kids.

I'm going 497 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 6: to tell you this. For the first several years of 498 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 6: my life as a baby lawyer, well especially as a 499 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 6: baby lawyer. Once I had my own business, it was amazing. 500 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 6: I got up and rushed to the office. It was 501 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 6: a twenty dollars deal between me and my top producing 502 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 6: agent in my real estate on the brokerage side of 503 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 6: my business. Whoever arrived last had to give twenty bucks 504 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 6: to the other person. That's an incentive. That was a 505 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 6: lot of money in nineteen ninety seven and the rush. 506 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 6: I implemented this to get to the office fast. All 507 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 6: of a sudden, I was in at seven o'clock. I 508 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 6: was in at six point thirty, whereas I struggled to 509 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 6: come rolling in at the law firm. Your kids should 510 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 6: have a job where they learn to get to work 511 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 6: on time. Are they late to school now they'll be 512 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 6: late to work. Teach them that they need to go 513 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 6: get the job. One of the things I've done with 514 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 6: my kids. And look, I'm not the perfect parent. I'm 515 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 6: not saying I am. I'm just giving you ideas. I'm 516 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 6: just trying to spark conversations so that this comes up 517 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 6: at your dinner table so your kid doesn't wake up 518 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 6: thirty years old in the world's passed them by, and 519 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 6: you go, did I do everything I could for that 520 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 6: child within their own You know, you can't push a 521 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 6: kid to do what they don't want to do, but 522 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 6: you can give them opportunities. I get a lot of 523 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 6: emails from say, some mommy and Katie who her kid 524 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 6: is smarter than the rest and she's trying to figure 525 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 6: out how to channel this and give him opportunities. And 526 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 6: she doesn't know glad to help because that's a kid. 527 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 6: It reminds me of myself. That's a kid that has 528 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 6: outsized ambition and probably doesn't have the means to get 529 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 6: where he's going the connections. So one option is go 530 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,719 Speaker 6: apply for a job. Washington think about this, and I 531 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 6: think this is part of it. Is young kids today 532 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 6: and this has probably always been true, but it's more 533 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 6: true today than ever. They think about what's in this 534 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 6: for me? Nobody is hiring you for what's in it 535 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 6: for you? Your little twerp? What can you do for me? 536 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 6: I never got turned down from jobs. Actually that's not true. 537 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 6: I called I was student by president. I called Bobby Sakowitz, 538 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 6: and Bobby had left Sakowitz first, and he took a 539 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 6: lunch with me, and I said, I want to be 540 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 6: your assistant. I don't need an assistant. I already have 541 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 6: somebody answer my phone. I said, no, I'll carry a briefcase. 542 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 6: I'll go into every meeting. I'll take the notes, I'll 543 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 6: write to thank you notes, I'll place the phone calls. 544 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 6: I'll remember people's birthdays, and i'll keep your schedule. I'll 545 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 6: drive you where you need to be. I'll pick you up. 546 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 2: When you're done. 547 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 6: I will read the paper and brief you on it 548 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 6: every day. I did that for an executive in town. 549 00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 6: I'm not going to tell you who, because I'm not 550 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 6: authorized to do so. 551 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: But I did that. 552 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 6: I did a lot of things like that, jobs that 553 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 6: I created. I was adding value to him. And Bobby 554 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 6: said to me, and we still laugh about this to 555 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 6: this day, Bobby said, Hell, no, I don't want to 556 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 6: be chapter seven of some book you're going to write 557 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 6: one day. Oh that was hilarious anyway. So option one 558 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 6: is go out there and show people how you can 559 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 6: add value. If you have a family member that has 560 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 6: a business, send the kid to that business. And I 561 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 6: don't mean half assed. They do it one day and 562 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 6: show up three days later. They got to go, they 563 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 6: got to be there at eight o'clock, they got to 564 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 6: stay till five o'clock. They have to turn their damn 565 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 6: phone off. That is the worst I keep up with. 566 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 2: Well. 567 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 6: Emily, my assistant, and Alex, my buddy, worked for us 568 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 6: at the RCC, and we were talking about the fact 569 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 6: that they couldn't. You were not allowed to have your 570 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 6: phone on on property. At the RCC fireable offense and 571 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 6: how hard that was for them, but then they learned 572 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 6: the habit of doing that. Alex also told me that 573 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 6: he vapes today because he was a smoker because we 574 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 6: wouldn't allow smoking there. I'm like, I don't even remember 575 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 6: that I did that. Oh oh, you did it all right. 576 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 6: You thought it looked trashy if we were smoking. So 577 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 6: go get that job that you can add value, even 578 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 6: if you don't get paid. It's about a life experience. 579 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 6: The second thing is, the second option is do something. 580 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 6: And these don't have to be people think it has 581 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 6: to be an internship program and there has to be 582 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 6: an intern coordinator and all those sorts of things. 583 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 2: You don't have to do all that. It's very informal. 584 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 6: If you can take I give you a great example, 585 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 6: my buddy, the Aggie plumber, Michael Robinson. Summer hits seven o'clock, 586 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 6: Michael Eli, get your butt out of bed, get out 587 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 6: in the truck. Those guys have the skill of an 588 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 6: entry level plumber, well a one year experienced plumber, and 589 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 6: they haven't even graduated high school. And you know why 590 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 6: he does it because his daddy did it before him. 591 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 6: And I think he gives him one hundred dollars a 592 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 6: day or something like that, and it's just spending money 593 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 6: for them, and he's got them up under the they 594 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 6: are actually adding value to him. They could take over 595 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 6: the company when they graduate if they so choose. If 596 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 6: you've got a business, to bring your kid in and 597 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 6: have them do something. 598 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 2: Maybe you just need. 599 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 6: To clear out some old filing boxes because you got 600 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 6: to because your lease is up on that end of 601 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:19,959 Speaker 6: the building. 602 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: Have your kid move that. Give them one hundred bucks 603 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 2: a day. 604 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 6: Remember this, whatever money you're giving them, you're gonna give 605 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 6: them anyway. You're just giving them money that they're earning, 606 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 6: as opposed to give them a goal. Hey you want 607 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 6: an xbox. Okay, here's how you're gonna earn it. I'll 608 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,479 Speaker 6: pay you this amount per day, and you're gonna make 609 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 6: a commitment. We're going to sign a contract. Contracts are 610 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 6: important when you write things down. Psychologically has an effect 611 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 6: or If your kid has a propensity for some other skill, law, medicine, whatever, 612 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 6: If you have the pluck, if you have the ambition 613 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 6: as a kid, you will get a job. 614 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 2: People like to help young people. 615 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 6: They just do mommy, don't do it for them, make 616 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 6: them do it, make them draft it, make them follow through. 617 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 6: When we're at a restaurant, my kids pay the bill 618 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,239 Speaker 6: and they've been doing that for years. They know how 619 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 6: much to tip depending on the service. They'll clarify it 620 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 6: with me first. They know how to review the bill, 621 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 6: they know how to ask for the bill. 622 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 2: They know all of that. 623 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 6: These are life skills we have to be teaching our 624 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 6: kids while we're there. And by the way, kids like responsibility. 625 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 6: It makes them feel valued. Otherwise they're like a puppy. 626 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 2: Nobody wants that.
