Thank you so much for having me. 29 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: Now where are you based at? 30 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 3: I'm based in Orlando by way of Atlanta. Born in Detroit, 31 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: but have an office in Atlanta, but I'm living and 32 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 3: living my best life right now in Orlando, Florida. 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Thy very familiar with Orlando, Florid. 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: I'd like to call that Mosquito Country, okay, because you 35 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: go down there, you drive every home seems to have 36 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: a screen on their back porch. 37 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, well we're no different there. So you know, Disney 38 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 3: being down there, you know they've done a pretty good 39 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: job controlling the critters down there. But yeah, we need 40 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 3: those screens to stay away from them. 41 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: Scheels absolutely. Let's talk about it. You say, send your 42 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: intro has invested in it. Over two hundred new business 43 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: owners assisted thousands of families to change the financial trajectory 44 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: of their legacies. Talk about your background. 45 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I used to teach business at EMA University 46 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 3: actually here in Atlanta. And when people graduate from my 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 3: MBA program in business that was out of business school, 48 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 3: they were called back two years later and say, doctor, 49 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 3: why because I need money? And then I would go 50 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: in the churches and I would teach you on business 51 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 3: and finance. And all the people in the church was like, doctor, 52 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 3: why because I need money. And so we started a 53 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: financial company to help students and to help people who 54 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: have dreams and visions, because at the end of the day, 55 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 3: a dream without resources is a nightmare. And when people 56 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: don't have the capital, they live in what I call 57 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 3: holy frustration. And so we started a financial company about 58 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 3: seventeen years ago, and we do about sixteen seventeen million 59 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 3: dollars a year in lines of credit term loans in 60 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 3: lots of one hundred to three hundred thousand dollars. Most 61 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 3: people don't need a million dollars, They just need maybe 62 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 3: fifty or sixty seventy thousand dollars to get off the ground, 63 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 3: and we have created probably many more than two hundred 64 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: new real estate investors, probably somewhere around seven or eight 65 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 3: hundred now of brand new real estate investors, and especially 66 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 3: those that are in college. I say, you don't have 67 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 3: to wait till you graduate to invest in property to 68 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: start building wealth. The earlier you do it, the better. 69 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: But the access to capital, which all these other banks 70 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 3: that were controlled by non minorities typically say no, eighty 71 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: percent of the time, we say yes. And we have 72 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: taken the frustrated entrepreneur and created well for those people 73 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: in the one hundreds. So we've been doing a really 74 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: good job. I'm really proud of my team. 75 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: Now, how does one get in touch with you? When 76 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: you talk about these financial opportunities? There's always paperwork involved, 77 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: and usually when from the minority perspective, that's when they stop. 78 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to do the paper, nobody wants to do 79 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: the background check it. But everybody wants to, Hey, I 80 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: need help give me some money. So there's steps to 81 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: this whole program. There's steps to people really engaging themselves 82 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: with their financial assistance. 83 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 3: Talk about that, well, the difference between us that we 84 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 3: have our own underwriters. Underwriting is really where the magic 85 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 3: happens in terms of getting to a Yes, most of 86 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 3: us know about underwriting when we're buying a home. We're 87 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 3: about building our life right, our dreams. So I have 88 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 3: two underwriters that work for me full time, and they 89 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 3: understand the plight of guys like me. Are a black 90 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 3: man who grew up in Detroit, who was supposed to 91 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 3: die of a drug bust or some gang violence. But 92 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: I'm certainly not supposed to be here talking to one 93 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 3: of the most successful men in the world right now 94 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 3: about business. But we have those two underwriters who understand 95 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 3: the sensitivity of our backgrounds. Right. We may not have 96 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: the best credit, we may not have the best experience 97 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 3: when it comes to certain matters of going to the 98 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: next step. So we take in all of those factors. 99 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 3: When you control on the writing, you pretty much can 100 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: control the Yess. 101 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm talking to doctor Robert Watkins. He's the CEO 102 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: and founder Conquer Worldwide. And it's important to talk about 103 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: what we always talk about. Now. You hear about fintech, 104 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: financial tech, we talk about greenwood, we talk about black banking, 105 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: we talk about trying to create financial structures where we 106 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: can walk in and see somebody like us who may 107 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: be under more understanding and allows an opportunity to grow 108 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: our dreams and grow our dreams always needs financial assistance. Now, 109 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: when I talk about your background, you know I did 110 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: my research military guide Al sir. How did that help 111 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: you out as far as discipline? Did it provide discipline? 112 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: That did you give your sense of direction? 113 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 3: Absolutely? Before I went in the army, I was seventeen 114 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: years old and I graduated. I ran track, so I 115 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: was really good in track. And I remember coming home 116 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: after graduating and my mom asked me, so, what are 117 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: you going to do in life because I didn't want 118 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: to go to school. And I said, well, I'm going 119 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,559 Speaker 3: to write around and get high. She said, oh okay. Really, 120 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: she didn't get mad at me or anything. I stayed 121 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 3: at the one o'clock in the morning. I came home. 122 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: She was she just said, oh, you're okay. I said, 123 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: I was okay, And I got up That next morning 124 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 3: I was like, wow, I'm really grown now. And it 125 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 3: was I got up and I heard a guy. I 126 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: told her I just went around and get high. That 127 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 3: was my That's all I want to do and get 128 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 3: a double white trailer. That was my plan to success. 129 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: That was it. 130 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 3: And I got up that morning, sir, I. 131 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: Just had to stop, you said, he was, so that 132 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: was a that was a dream. My dream when I 133 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: got out of high school was be a forklift drive. 134 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: So I can't laugh too loud, okay, and I'm do. 135 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: I got a job as a forklift driver. So when 136 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: you say that, because that was my dream, and I 137 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: and I have to slow that down because you know, 138 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: our dreams could be so small. 139 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, if we just. 140 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: Open our opportunity that people meant to us to show 141 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: you what we can be. And so you told your mom, I'm. 142 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 3: Right around and get high and get a double white trailer. 143 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: Cool. 144 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: That was it, and she said, oh okay. I got 145 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 3: up there. Next morning, I heard a man in my house, 146 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 3: just my mom, just raising by herself. I went down stairs. 147 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 3: The first thing I saw with some shiny boots around 148 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 3: the corner, and I looked up. The guy was wearing 149 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: a green uniform and he said, you're Robert Watkins. I'm 150 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 3: in my underwear. I said, yeah, who are you? He said, 151 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 3: welcome to the army. Son. My mom signed my butt 152 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 3: away to the Army and it saved my life and 153 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: I was mad. I was scared, but I was a knucklehead, 154 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 3: and I've never really heard my voice and the first time, 155 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: this is where I grew up when private and basic training. 156 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 3: Private Jackson called me to the front of the platoon 157 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 3: and he said, call the men to attention. I said me. 158 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: I said who am I? And he said, he says, soldier, 159 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 3: do it? And I said, men attend gun and those 160 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 3: men snapped to attention. I heard my voice for the 161 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 3: very first time. I really believe I grew up in 162 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 3: that moment, that my voice mattered. Something clicked on the 163 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: in side of me, and I really believe I went 164 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 3: from being a boy to a man in that moment, 165 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 3: and so I carried that responsibility and I realized that 166 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: I was insecure about who I was. And so that 167 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: discipline that learned in the service, caring about your fellow man, 168 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: caring about carrying, having a mission, having an assignment, and 169 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 3: completing what you started. It's made me the man I 170 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: am today, which. 171 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: Is really important because I always tell people about setting 172 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: goals and then completing the goal, because you can't go 173 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: to the next goal unless you wrap on a lot 174 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: of people don't understand that. They just have a lot 175 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: of things happening in their lives, but not one of 176 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: them is a completed goal. And so I call that 177 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: busy frustration because you keep you're frustrated because you're not 178 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: doing anything, but you got all this business that's taking 179 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: up time for you complete something. And so that's what 180 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: you're saying. Goal orientation, that's what we're talking about now, 181 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: and that's what drives successful business. Now when you do 182 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: you did go to college, yes, and then you became 183 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: a fraternity demand. 184 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I did. I placed Capitelphaci and so I'm still 185 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 3: active when I can. 186 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: Well, you know, for the reason I bring that because 187 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: I'm a member of Omega Sci five and so and 188 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: I tell people, you know, I'm not saying fraternity life 189 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: is for everybody, but it did. I was a guy 190 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: just just just wandering do college. I'm not gonna lie 191 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: to you. It took me seven years to graduate, and 192 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: four and a half years of that I was still 193 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: a freshman basically. And then when I played, I really 194 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: it gave me a sense of goals, It gave me dates. 195 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: I always tell people operate on thirty ninety day and 196 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: six month intervals in my life because the typical person 197 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: operates on that thirty dight window. They always worried about 198 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: the rent, always worried about the rent, always worried about 199 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: paying that bill the next thirty days. And so I 200 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: had to get out of that thirty day cycle, which 201 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: is typical for minority households, to the ninety day cycle. 202 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: Then I went to the six month cycle, and then 203 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: I project a year like you're supposed to do with 204 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: a business. Because you can't project a year in advance, 205 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: then you don't know if you can make money, which 206 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: means you don't have a real plan. And so that's 207 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: why I just wanted to bring that up, because it's 208 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: not saying whether you tie to your fraternity now an 209 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: active member. It's about a certain discipline. You've had back 210 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: to back levels of discipline in your life. One with 211 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: the military in the second world is the fraternity. 212 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, And that's where I really learned about the 213 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 3: bond right and in brotherhood, because I was the only 214 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 3: child growing up, and so I had to get out 215 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 3: of selfishness. You can't be selfish and help your brother. 216 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: You got to get out of yourself And so that 217 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 3: was a great experience for me there on the campus 218 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 3: and pleasure in camp OFFICALI and I love the cues 219 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 3: as well. You all in the Divine Nine. I think 220 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: that we're working more together ever before, and it's a 221 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: wonderful thing. 222 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now let's let's get to why we brought you 223 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: in the show. You know, it's about financial advice, business advice, 224 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: and I did little research, you know, with your social media, 225 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: and I saw these nice little things that I wanted 226 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: to bring up. And let's talk about, you know, five 227 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: reasons why small businesses and churches fail. 228 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 3: Well, the number one thing is just a lack of leadership, 229 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 3: just incompetency. You're only going to go as far as 230 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 3: the people are around you. I always say, and you 231 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: say this as well. If you hang around nine broke people, 232 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 3: guess will be the tenth one. And you go into 233 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: a lot of small businesses and certainly not here. You 234 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 3: have competent brothers here that are working, that are focused, 235 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 3: that they're the technical, they know your vision. I sense that. 236 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 3: I mean, you go into some churches, black churches and 237 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 3: white churches, but mostly the black churches where I'm hanging 238 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 3: out in you know, the Bible talks about how we 239 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 3: need faithful and able, not just faithful, but faithful and able. 240 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: And so that's the number one thing, is that just 241 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: having incompetency around a competent leader that is frustrating. 242 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: Well, you know the thing about it because the reason 243 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: I brought that up because I heard because rarely do 244 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: you hear hear the word business in church in the 245 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: same sentence. But really, a church is a business. It's organized, 246 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: and a lot of people want to ignore that. But 247 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: what also happens is it's also like in the business, 248 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: you expect full time service, you pay somebody full time. 249 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: In church, I don't know if that's the same mentality 250 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: until you start treating it like a business. You know, 251 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: some churches are when you go wow, you have to 252 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: say wow, because you know they have forty hour people 253 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: they do, they have film crews, they have leadership groups, 254 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: or it is a business. And so when you say 255 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: five reasons why, that's one of them is leadership. 256 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 3: What's the next another is this is lack of resource. 257 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: It's a lack of money. Now, the reason why white 258 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 3: churches excel much faster than white churches, it's simply because 259 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 3: of education, yes, sir, And it's because if you're hearing 260 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 3: about wealth building products, stocks, investing, et cetera, and only 261 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 3: thing you're hearing in another church is is giving, give 262 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 3: and give and giving. You know, typically when a black 263 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 3: person gives, typically genuinely speaking, they're giving out of a paycheck, 264 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 3: So it really is sacrificial giving. When a white family gives, 265 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 3: on average, they're giving out of wealth, an overflow, they're 266 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: giving out of a business, they're giving out a stock, 267 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 3: a retirement fund, ira mutual fund, they're giving out of 268 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 3: some type of wealth product. When you're giving out of 269 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 3: a paycheck, it's like even I'm gonna give this church 270 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 3: one hundred dollars, I'm gonna have lights right right, So 271 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 3: we have to use words like sacrificial giving, and we 272 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 3: can offering have to be thirty minutes long just to 273 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: get people to give, because they're giving out of their life. 274 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 3: So what we have to do is start educating our 275 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 3: people about money, and you're the leader in this area, 276 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 3: so that we can give more and do more and 277 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 3: leave something that's lasting for this next generation. 278 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, when I'm speaking to doctor Robert Watkins, you know, 279 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: Conquer Worldwide CEO and founder, when we talk about things 280 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: like this, because I'm not. That's the last question I'm 281 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: going to ask on that, because I always tell people 282 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: give away everything, then people don't. I got all the information. 283 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: I don't need to follow up. I want people to research. 284 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 1: I want people to google you and find out your 285 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: brand and the vastness of it. Why are you on 286 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: this show today? 287 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 3: Well, I love people, and I love seeing people prosper. 288 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 3: What breaks my heart is seeing poor people broken be 289 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 3: fixed poor as a mindset. And when I see people 290 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 3: living below not the probably line, but living below their potential. 291 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 3: Living in potential is frustrating. And when I see guys 292 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 3: on the street, or I see even in corporate America 293 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 3: who are not happy, that breaks my heart because I 294 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 3: believe that every man has a purpose and I learned 295 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 3: that as an orphan. I never met my birth more 296 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 3: than my birth father before. So I was born as 297 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: a war of the state of Michigan, and so I 298 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 3: had to climb out of that situation and started with 299 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 3: my mindset. And so when I see people who are 300 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 3: living below their kingship or their queen ship, it seems 301 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 3: like I need to do something. That's why I write books, 302 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: That's why I speak so passionately I do business conferences 303 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 3: and I have a finance conference. I'm a finance company. 304 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 3: We have a consulting company as well. So we just 305 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 3: don't give the money. We say, well, here's the one 306 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars, but let's turn this on hundred thousand 307 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 3: into three hundred thousand into five hundred thousand into a 308 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 3: million over the next five years. Right, But here's some 309 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 3: seed capital, and we stay with them. We have a 310 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: we started betting breakfast is tech companies buyold companies, healthcare companies. 311 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: It all started with just a dream. Like most people 312 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 3: come in with bad credit and no money, no experience, 313 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 3: but they have a vision and that thing is more 314 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 3: valuable than anything that is that we can never pay for. 315 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, doctor Orkins in the military. 316 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: You say you found your voice. Okay, when did you 317 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: find your vision? Uh? 318 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 3: I got to a place when I was I was 319 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 3: married and my first marriage failed, and it really is 320 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 3: because I didn't know who I was and I got 321 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 3: to a place I was living in holy frustration. I said, 322 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 3: you know what, I have to have a purpose. And 323 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 3: I was selfish and that was it was all about 324 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 3: me and my house and cars, and it's all about 325 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 3: my brand, my company, what I was doing. You know, 326 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 3: I was in Atlanta, and I realized that it's not 327 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 3: a good winging formula. And when I got to the place, 328 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 3: I started losing things. I never foul bunk, bankruptcy or 329 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 3: anything on it, but I lost. I lost a couple 330 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 3: of cars, and house, got under water, and found myself 331 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 3: in divorce court. And I said, you know what, I 332 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 3: created all of this. I'm taking responsibility for who I hurt. 333 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 3: I'm taking responsibility for what I have not done. I'm 334 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 3: taking my responsibility for being a man and who I 335 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 3: am today. And that was the beginning of the shift 336 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 3: for me. And I believe God gave me a vision 337 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 3: of kings and priests, that we're kings and we're priests 338 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 3: where the kings were kings in the marketplace, and we're 339 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 3: priests of our homes. And I started a nonprofit ministry. 340 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: That's over seventeen thousand members. 341 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, we have seventeen thousand men there, and we have 342 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 3: a big conference coming up in June ninth and tenth 343 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 3: in Orlando. And we're kings and priests. We're kings in 344 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: the marketplace and the priest of our homes. I wasn't 345 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 3: a good priest of my home. I was paying the bills. 346 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 3: I was a good provider, I wasn't a good priest. 347 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 3: I wasn't impartying. And so this is the message that 348 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 3: I'm trying to take the men, especially that we can 349 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 3: be both at the same time. You can have money, 350 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 3: but you better be sensitive and vulnerable and humble at home. 351 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 3: Be a good father and be a good husband. And 352 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 3: nobody cares about your money. If you're mean all the time, 353 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 3: no one cares about your money, if nobody likes you, 354 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 3: nobody wants to see you at home. And that was 355 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 3: my life. And so I was able to turn things around. 356 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 3: And that's my that's my life mission. 357 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: And that in course and it aligns itself. That's your vision, 358 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: and it ties to the king and priest, and that's 359 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: an event. Tell us more about that event. 360 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, So June ninth and tenth, it's a Friday and 361 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 3: Saturday in Orlando, Florida. We've got Ron Devaux with one 362 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 3: of our headliners of New Edition.

I'm sure you know 367 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 3: and so he he loves what we're doing here and 368 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 3: helping men. And we've got some other special guests, but 369 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 3: it's two days of just pure impartation. We got Luther 370 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 3: Ragsdale that that's coming. He's bought sod and managed over 371 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 3: two billion dollars in real estate before age forty right 372 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 3: here in Atlanta as well. He's going to be joining 373 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 3: us talking about wealth and so. But the whole point 374 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 3: is for us to be better men and better fathers, 375 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 3: and better lovers to our wives, and better citizens and 376 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 3: then playing it forward to the next generation. 377 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: You know, when I when I think about this relationship 378 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: that you and I create, because it's not only information 379 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: that we're sharing, but also I think when I sat 380 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: down now that I think I know when I wanted 381 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: to create money making conversation, which a great conversation. There's 382 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: not so much limited to just people think that business 383 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: owners or entrepreneurs are a certain type. You can be 384 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: an entrepreneur, as a singer, as a dancer. You know, 385 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: you know, there's there's so many levels and you have 386 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: to because of the way, especially social media. I would 387 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: say anybody who has a social media account, it really 388 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: is an entrepreneur because they have the ability to market 389 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: theirselves and to recognize that they have a brand. Once 390 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: you lock on and realize that social media is more 391 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: than just posting food and posting pictures that you're going 392 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: on vacation, then you have a business that you can 393 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: produce and create. Now when I've talked to money, your 394 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: money guy, you know you're already corrected, rashat. I think 395 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: I've done more than two hundred new business owners. We 396 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: include the real estate, it's probably about seven hundred. 397 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 3: So we don't we big that. 398 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: So you facilitated financial legacies. Now I have to ask 399 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: somebody like you about investments saves. What are we doing that? 400 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: Because you hear and I'm not asking you to be 401 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: an expert when you say this, but the magic word 402 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: that you hear all the time now is crypto. 403 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and listen the bad news in this there's 404 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 3: good news and there's bad news. The bad news inflation 405 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 3: is high and interest rates are high. Got it. But 406 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,239 Speaker 3: the good news is CD rates for example, annuities are 407 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 3: at an all time fifteen year high. Yes, okay, so 408 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 3: this is means so when you talk about cryptocurrency, and 409 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 3: I will never advise someone to do something that I'm 410 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 3: not doing. But when we talk about compounding interests, you 411 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 3: can take five hundred dollars and put it into an 412 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 3: annuity right now that is averaging three percent per week 413 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 3: if you leave it in there for five years, reinvesting 414 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 3: all the money back into it, just automated. Just put 415 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 3: the five hundred dollars in there, walk away from it 416 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 3: from five years. At the end of five years, that 417 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 3: is one million, eighty eight thousand dollars. You are now 418 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 3: a liquid millionaire. That's true. 419 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: We should have started this interview. You shut down my 420 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: whole production crew everything, so you talk about five hundred dollars. 421 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 3: Five hundred dollars, okay, five years now. I want people 422 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 3: to fact check me because there's something called a mortgage, 423 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 3: a compound calculator. Go to Google Google compound calculator, follow 424 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 3: me on this and your principal investment five hundred dollars 425 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: and then put in three percent per week. That's what 426 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 3: a lot of these annuities are paying now. That's big, okay, 427 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 3: And at the end of five years it's one million, 428 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 3: eighty eight thousand dollars. That is you putting the money 429 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 3: back in right, never taking it right. It just you 430 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 3: just automated, don't even don't even let the money come 431 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 3: to you, just automate it. But fact check me on that, 432 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 3: and now you are a liquid millionaire. And I'm doing this, 433 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 3: my wife is doing it. You know. I got my 434 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 3: youngest daughter, she's a sophomore at Georgia Tech. I got 435 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 3: an annuity for her. So that's the good news in 436 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 3: this economy that people don't want you to. 437 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: Know, right, And that's why I have you on the show, 438 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: because you know I'm not. I won't ever say I'm 439 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: an know it all. I'm just a person who brings 440 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: on information. But when I am, when you say something 441 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: like that, I love the fact you said, well, fact 442 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: check me, you know, because a lot of people won't 443 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: allow themselves to be fact checked because they won't and 444 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: I won't allow those people to be on the show. 445 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: I edit out because what I won't do on this 446 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: show is create false hype, a false opportunity. 447 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 3: Right.

First of all, you got to 474 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 3: have a compelling vision. You got to have something that 475 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 3: people want to be a part of, Right, That's what 476 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 3: the dot com that Eric taught us is that you 477 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 3: create something nobody heard of, uber eats or even zoom, 478 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 3: you know, until the pandemic hit.

It's gonna be a 481 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 3: new Instagram that comes up. Somebody's working in the garage 482 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 3: right now, they're going to come to the table. So 483 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 3: number one, have a compelling vision. The number two what 484 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 3: is your value popposition? Right? How are you adding value 485 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: to people, to people's lives.

What are you doing that 487 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: has to be key? And people want to be a 488 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 3: part of that. You know. I love what the what 489 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 3: the Bible says about that that where there is no vision, 490 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 3: the people perish. And so you got to be able 491 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 3: to cast visions. So when I go online, I'm casting 492 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 3: vision because people need vision. And then number three, have 493 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 3: a funnel, a tool, a place where people can come 494 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 3: and connect to and we just do those three things, 495 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 3: you'll be on your way to having a really good 496 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 3: smart team.

Doubt stops and regret stops them. 509 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: What what what of those things? Fear, doubt, regret? How 510 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: do you overcome and don't allow that to be uh 511 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: limit your dreams? 512 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, bring awareness that you are those 513 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 3: things I know as men. It's not we were not 514 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 3: taught to say, man, I'm afraid. We were not taught 515 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 3: to say, you know those I'm scared. But when you 516 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 3: bring awareness to that, man, this is I mean the 517 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,479 Speaker 3: first you know building and I bought on an office building. 518 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 3: They say they're not going to let me do this. 519 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 3: I was so afraid, but once I understood the process. 520 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 3: Wait a minute, I bought a house before. This is easy, right, Well, 521 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 3: we am I going to get the money? We am 522 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 3: I gonna get to twenty percent down payment? We're not 523 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 3: going to get the million dollars? Well, how many people 524 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 3: do I know? I think I know about twenty five people. 525 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 3: Can I get half of those people to believe in 526 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 3: this vision? And before you know it, I had the 527 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 3: money and before you know it, I was at the 528 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 3: closing table. But it took five years of fear. So 529 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 3: I could have did this a long time ago, but 530 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 3: I had to first of all realize, Man, I'm just scared, right, right. 531 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 3: And when a person comes to that realization, then a 532 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 3: shift can happen and now his heart can say it's 533 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,479 Speaker 3: time to overcome this. Right, And the field of failure 534 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 3: is very real to a lot of people. So you 535 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 3: got to put yourself out there and just know that 536 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 3: if I fail, I fail. But I never really fail. 537 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 3: I just learned an expensive lesson right for the next level. 538 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: As we close here, I'm gonna ask this because everybody 539 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: needs to hear this. Talking to doctor Robert Watkins, what 540 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: is your frie as free strategy? To help everyday people 541 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: get out of debt. 542 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 3: Well, well, number one, you know, stop making new debt. 543 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 3: You know, that's that's number one. Number two, here's what 544 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 3: I will you. 545 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: Stop making new dere What's that is that? 546 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 3: Netflix? Is that what? 547 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: Buying a car? You shouldn't have? 548 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 3: Well, start with the credit cards, you know how, you know, 549 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 3: here's get over the fear and cut up that credit card. 550 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 3: That takes a lot of faith to say I'm cutting 551 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 3: up this credit card. And when you do that, if 552 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 3: you say I'm gonna have I'm gonna go on a 553 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 3: credit card fast. I'm not gonna use any plastic, including 554 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 3: my debit card. You mentioned about the thirty day, sixty day, 555 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 3: ninety day for ninety days, I'm not using any plastic. 556 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 3: I'm not using plastic cups. That's how. That's how cool 557 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 3: and committed I am. But that's that's number one getting 558 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 3: out of debt. Number two. If you have a credit 559 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 3: card amount, say it's one thousand dollars, and you have 560 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 3: one thousand dollars in a savings account, take the thousand 561 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 3: dollars dollar of the savings account and pay off the 562 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 3: credit card. Now, a lot of people don't like to 563 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 3: do that because we like to see our money online. 564 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 3: We like to look at it and stare at it. 565 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 3: And I'm the same way. I like to go online 566 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 3: and see Okay, I'm good, right, But the credit card 567 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 3: is that fifteen seventeen percent interest rate. I'm making point 568 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 3: five zero five percent interest on my thousand dollars in 569 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 3: the same as account. So take that out and pay 570 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 3: off the credit card. A lot of us don't like 571 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 3: to do that, but that would be on your way 572 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 3: to becoming that free. 573 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: Well, you know, we don't because we don't know. Let 574 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: me just tell you that now we don't know. And 575 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: it's really interesting. I'm one of those common sense guys, 576 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: and it's always good to hear an expert tell you 577 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: you're doing something, because I've been doing that probably last year, 578 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: spending more cash than credit card. And you know, because 579 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: I love having cash, you know, love having have their pocket, right, 580 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: But then I'm spending a credit card, but keep packing 581 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: my pocket. 582 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 3: I made some money. 583 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: But I realized, sid, why don't you go ahead when 584 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: you go to chick for like, go ahead and pay cash. 585 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: It's a big trick move going on out there because 586 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't want to take cash no more. 587 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 3: Well, you know what's happening in China and Russia. So 588 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 3: they just came together. I won't go too deep in 589 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 3: the woods here, but they just partnered. And the first 590 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 3: thing they did was devalue the dollar. Essentially, they trashed 591 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 3: the dollar. They devalued it, and that was an economic move. 592 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 3: That was a war on America. So in the country, 593 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 3: dollars are still king. Outside the country, it's not gonna 594 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 3: be worth anything. So we got to be a little 595 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 3: bit smarter because they're already we're talking about digital economics 596 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 3: and cryptocurrency. They're twenty years ahead of us. 597 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: So how should I feel if I'm a guy trying 598 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: to lure my debt, trying to get rid of my 599 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: credit card debt, and I'm going to these restaurants and 600 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: these places they go we don't take cash. Should I 601 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: be mad at that? Or should I stop supporting these 602 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: type of businesses, or just understand that's the world we're 603 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: living in now. 604 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 3: Well that's the world that's becoming. And when it comes 605 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 3: back to credit for a second, is if I don't 606 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 3: have the money in my account, I'm not pulling out 607 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: my credit card, right, Okay, I took my daughter to 608 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 3: Ruth Chris Chris Steakhouse till the day. And so the 609 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 3: bill was, you know, a couple hundred dollars. So I 610 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 3: pull out my credit card because I have two hudred 611 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 3: dollars in an account. But if I didn't have the 612 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 3: twentndred dollars in account, I need to take cre to McDonald's. 613 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 3: You see what I'm saying. So I have to be 614 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 3: real about my situation. But there's coming a time in America, 615 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 3: if you can imagine this, where the dollar will not 616 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 3: be received. Everything is going to one digital currency. And 617 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 3: the move that China and Russia made last Thursday was 618 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 3: the beginning of that. 619 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: Wow, we're speaking to you as I closed it fantastic. 620 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: Give us the information about how to reach you and 621 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: also information about the event that's going on in Orlando. 622 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, Conquer worldwide, con q u e R worldwide dot com. 623 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 3: You see all of our services.
