I think that it is. You know, 145 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: I was less fortunate than many, and I was way 146 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: more fortunate than most of the people on the planet. 147 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 2: I had a house, and I had clean drinking water, 148 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: right so, and I had access to food and electricity. 149 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: But you know, we only know what we come from. 150 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: It came from, you know, a place that was riddled 151 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: like most of the you know, American communities riddled with 152 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: crack and most of my friends became drug dealers. I 153 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: decided that's not a path that I wanted. But I 154 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: was dyslexic. Eight of the twelve sharks are actually dyslexic. 155 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 6: And. 156 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 5: It almost a lot of people to share that on 157 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 5: social media for the family. 158 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 2: That's why he said, I it Branson is dyslexic, Barber's alexic, 159 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: Kevin's alexic, I believe Rohans and lexic and there and 160 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: because of dyslexic, I've got the other three.

All those 177 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 2: kids I was laughing at, not that I knew zuckerberning. 178 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 6: Of those people. 179 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: And I'm just using an example. I remember all those 180 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: kids that I laughed at that were going to college 181 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 2: investing in their future. Well they were coming back now 182 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: and I was in Red Lobster serving them shrimp, and 183 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: I was like, well, I'm the idiot. And I started 184 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: to double down and try to, you know, get any 185 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: form of education I could. I would, and being dyslexic challenge, 186 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: but I would read a book a week, I would 187 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: find mentors, I would go and apply and do a 188 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 2: lot of different things. I was reading the sales sheets 189 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 2: that Red Lobster, finding out how this large corporation was 190 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: making money. Well they needed help back a year ago, 191 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: but they were making money back then. And then I 192 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: started investing things I love to do, which was this, this, 193 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: this fashion, and I used what I call the power broke. 194 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: I realized that you know, sixty five percent a lot 195 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: of winners and athletes that broke three years after leaving 196 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,599 Speaker 2: the league because they don't know how to use the 197 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: tool of money, and another sixty or seventy percent of 198 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 2: four wealthy. This one thousand people are self made men 199 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: and women. That's like the men and women in this 200 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 2: room and listening to this podcast. So obviously money is 201 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: just a tool, and I started to use what was 202 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: around me as normal entrepreneurs. Well, I knew rappers, why 203 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: don't you wear that? You know? While I knew this, 204 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: why don't you do that? And it slowly grew. I 205 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 2: had a lot of challenges. I started fooling eighty nine. 206 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 2: I closed it three times from eighty nine to ninety 207 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 2: two because I ran out of money. I found my 208 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: beautiful three partners who believed in me. After that, now 209 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: there were ten people who believed in me, but most 210 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 2: of them didn't stay around. Was those three that believed 211 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: in me. And then by nineteen ninety nineteen ninety eight, 212 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 2: I was doing three hundred fifty million dollars a year. Now, 213 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: that's a long story. I started in eighty nine. In 214 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight, I started making I started get public 215 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 2: recognition after failing three times. But you know, that's the 216 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: American dream. That's why when we look at you know, 217 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 2: people like me and all of us on Shark Tank, 218 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: we all went through that process. 219 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 4: Have you failed since then? 220 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 6: I failed? 221 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 2: I try to fail every day. When I talked to 222 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: my daughter or night when we go to bed, when 223 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: she goes to bed she's eight years old, I tell 224 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: her how daddy failed that day and how daddy succeeded. 225 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: And I asked her, how will she fail and how 226 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 2: did she fail that day? They maybe I planned on 227 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: doing this and I didn't get to this, and I 228 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 2: was late for a meeting. And you should never be 229 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 2: late because when you're late, you make the other person 230 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 2: feel like they're not of value and whatever the case is. 231 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: So she gets used to understanding that failure is a 232 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 2: part of the process and that it comes along with successes. 233 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: You know, the fact you do that with your daughter, 234 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: I didn't know that about you. I've done that with 235 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: my kids, where every night when they were little, I 236 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: would say, tell me three things you're grateful for, and 237 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: tell me one failure you had, and I would celebrate 238 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: the failure more than the things they're grateful for. So 239 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: they would look at it that way. And so few 240 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: parents know this. 241 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 3: Wow, what we do in our home are the roses 242 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 3: and thorns? Oh so like, okay, so what was your 243 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 3: roles for today and what was your thorn? 244 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 4: Now? 245 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 3: Our daughter is sixteen years old, so she journals every night. 246 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 3: We still have family dinners when we're together, and I 247 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: just saw her this new journal where in the morning 248 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: it you know, you talk about kind of your intentions 249 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 3: for today, what you're grateful for, and that night, before 250 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 3: you go to bed, you do what would you change, like, 251 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 3: what would you do things just a little bit different 252 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 3: or better. It's a way of looking the same way 253 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 3: at your at your failures, or what you would do 254 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: differently for your day every night before you go to bed. 255 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's help. Reflection is extremely important. 256 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, you're listening to my legacy. We'll be back 257 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 5: shortly with more of this inspiring conversation. 258 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 4: They're back to my legacy, Daman. 259 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 6: You've seen hundreds of entrepreneurs on Shark Tank make presentations. 260 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 6: So what is a surefire way to lose a deal 261 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 6: on shark Tank? 262 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 2: Well, a little of the deal anywhere is and not 263 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 2: understand who you're talking to, and not to understand what's 264 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: in it for them, you know, I don't you know, 265 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 2: they say, don't tell anybody your problems. Twenty percent don't care, 266 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: and the other eighty percent are really happy you have them. 267 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 2: And so when you tell somebody your problems, then they 268 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 2: don't care what's in it for the person on the 269 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 2: other side. But if you're talking about Shark Tank, you 270 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 2: know you'd have to do a homework on the target. 271 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: A lot of people pitch me clothing brands on shar Tank. 272 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: The main reason I got on shar Tank is because 273 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: I had ten clothing brands and oh seven. Nobody's buying 274 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 2: clothes when they can't pay their rent. Want to diversify 275 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 2: my portfolio because out of my ten clothing brands, eight 276 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: of them were dead. The last thing I want is clothing. 277 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 2: You didn to do your homework. Robert himself, Robert has 278 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 2: done better in clothing on the show, well besides my 279 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,599 Speaker 2: sock company. Robert has done better on clothing on the 280 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 2: show than mean he likes clothing companies. The next thing 281 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 2: is to not know your customer. Who is your customer? 282 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: Is it a person of this gender, primarily this ethnicity, 283 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 2: who wants to pay twenty dollars instead of twenty two? 284 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: Where do they live? If you don't know who your 285 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 2: customer is, I don't know who your customer is, well, 286 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 2: then you want to use my money for tuition, and 287 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: that's not going to work out. And the last one 288 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: is to think that it's my job. I'm an investor, 289 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 2: it's your business. Damon is not a crutch. I have 290 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: a day job, and if I wanted to actually put 291 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 2: more on my day job played well, I would bring 292 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: Foobuo back in a bigger level where I own all 293 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: of it. The true and the best pitch is you 294 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: tell somebody a story on qualifies why there was a 295 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 2: problem in the market, or you want to bring somebody joy, 296 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: because that's only two things that you're gonna ever do. 297 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: You're either going to solve a problem or bring somebody joy. 298 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: And if you bring somebody joy, you solve the problem. 299 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: You solve the problem. Brout somebody joy. And that how 300 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: that train is going to leave the station no matter what. 301 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: You want that investor on the train, but it's leaving 302 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: the station no matter what. Then you qualify why you're 303 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: the one to do that job. Whenever you have a business, 304 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 2: you have to ask yourself three questions, why me, why now? 305 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: And why this? If you can't answer all three of 306 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: those questions, well then you're a me too. Product. 307 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 3: Is that something that you knew instinctively? And that's what 308 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 3: I was curious. Is this something that you knew instinctively 309 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 3: or is this also garnered from all of your experience? 310 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: Oh, it's by far as experience, you know. I thank 311 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 2: god social media wasn't around up until my thirty thirty five, 312 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: maybe even forties, because I look back and what was 313 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 2: wrong with you? Sure? But it's by getting the door 314 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: slammed in my face so many times and having to 315 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: go back. Now, we didn't talk about you know what 316 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: it takes to get to the pitch, To get to 317 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: the pitch on shark tank or to anybody in this room, 318 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: you got to kiss a lot of frogs. You can't 319 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: take it personal. You have to. When you leave a 320 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: room and you know somebody says no, you have to 321 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: say something like, well, did I study them accurately? Did 322 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 2: I ask enough questions that I communicated accurately? You know what? 323 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 2: Maybe they had a bad day, Maybe they were arguing 324 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 2: with this significant other. Maybe they don't have the vision. 325 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 2: And even if they invested about it, they weren't the customer. 326 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: I wanted it anyway, But you have to then kiss 327 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: another frog. You know, I got it backed by Samsung's 328 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 2: textile division. Does anybody know that Samsung had a textile division. 329 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 2: I never go to number one, two, three, four and 330 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: five in the market. I go to number two hundred. 331 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 2: Who wants to be number one, two, three four five 332 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: because one, two, three, four and five they'd good. 333 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 4: Wow and Dave. 334 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 3: You totally, I mean you totally started entire inty. Biohacking 335 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 3: did not exist before you came along, and I believe 336 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 3: that you actually did you somehow start the first person 337 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 3: to sell on the Internet a product. 338 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: Wait, before I started biohacking. Yeah, the first product ever 339 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: sold over the Internet was a T shirt that said 340 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: caffeine my drug of choice, and it has this molecule. 341 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: I've got a tattooed on my bicep. 342 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: And the first product ever sold on it. 343 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: It was yeah, before e commerce didn't have a name, 344 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: and there wasn't a web browser yet, so this was 345 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: before actually Mark Andresen was making the first web browser 346 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: right when I did this. 347 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: It's cool. 348 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: So I'm an entrepreneur magazine wearing a double extra large shirt. 349 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: People say, da if you weren't fat, I'm like, well, 350 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: here's my twenty fe year old fat picture an entrepreneur magazine. 351 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: I think that one counts. And at the time I 352 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: was just trying to pay for my tuition, right. I 353 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: didn't realize that that would be anything. And I was 354 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: on the internet early because I'm a nerd, and I thought, man, 355 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: I know the people I talk to every day and 356 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: they're in the car and so am I. So I'm 357 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: just going to make a product. And I in fact, 358 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: one of the article on Estrement magazine it said, if 359 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: you exploit it, it's gone. I said, there's a culture. 360 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: Don't just put ads up. Be a part of the 361 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: community and serve your community if you're going to put 362 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: something up there. 363 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 5: But it was amazing you created a category. Well both 364 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 5: of you actually created it, Like Damon created a category 365 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 5: and Dave you created a category. If you actually stop 366 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 5: and think about it, and you took like mct oil coffee. 367 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 5: There was a lot of skepticism when biohacking came as 368 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 5: an idea. 369 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: That was great. 370 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 5: Well, I can ask what gave you the drive to 371 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 5: push through that skepticism to bring it to mainstream. 372 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: Well, I was pretty sick when I was young. I 373 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: had Asperger syndrome. It's a form of autism, a lot 374 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: of weird behavioral issues, fat at arthritis. Since I was fourteen, 375 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: and when I reversed all that with what is now biohacking, 376 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: my goal was I want five people to read my blog, 377 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: and if they don't go through the hell I went through, 378 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: I have done my active service. I thought about making 379 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: it a nonprofit. I didn't collect a list, I didn't 380 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: do anything. I made a quarter million a year. I 381 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: had stock options at a publicly traded computer security company 382 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: because I'm a computer hacker. I was a pretty good 383 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: one back then. So it was that I don't want 384 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: people to go through it. I went through, and then 385 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: after I recovered, like I'm not going to stop, and 386 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 1: I was you can make your brain work better than 387 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: you ever imagined, and you can reverse your age, and 388 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: you can. I'm six percent body fat and I was 389 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: really obese with a forty six inch waist, and I 390 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: feel so good. And when my brain works, I'm nice 391 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: to other people. And you give me MSG and the 392 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: wrong foods and I feel like I'm doing exercise with 393 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: my middle finger muscles, like I'm a jerk. Right, So 394 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: being HYPOGLIBITCHI was a problem for me. So I just 395 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: want to teach people, and I write all my stuff. 396 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: If I was nineteen or twenty and I just would 397 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: have known this. It would have saved me a million 398 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: dollars to recover, and the other million and a half 399 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: was for longevity. I'm happy with that, but the suffering, 400 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: all the times I was just a jerk to people. 401 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: It was not because I was a bad person. It 402 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: was because my hardware wasn't working right. And so every 403 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: time someone reaches out and says, you know, yeah, I 404 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: lost the weight, but my brain works so much better. 405 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: That was the why, and people say, oh, you're wrong, Okay, 406 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: then don't do it. But look who started drinking this 407 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: idea of butter and coffee. I didn't invent that. 408 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 6: Well. 409 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 1: I kind of did in coffee, but I was in 410 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: ti bed at Mount Kailash, the holiest mountain in the world, 411 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: had yact better team, like, what does this work? 412 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 6: Right? 413 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: So I this whole process I just wanted to share. 414 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 5: So I was also a bet alside yack better tea. 415 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 5: I didn't have the brilliance and idea of scaling. So 416 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 5: I don't want to take away what you did was amazing. 417 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: Why were you into bed well after I exhausted all 418 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: the Western medicine that was supposed to make me well. 419 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 6: I tried. 420 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 1: I made and lost six million dollars before I was 421 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: twenty eight. Tried being rich, didn't make me happy. Tried 422 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: to getting married that didn't work very well in my 423 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: twenties didn't make me happy. And I was an Entrepreneur 424 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: magazine when twenty three, being famous didn't make me happy. 425 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm miserable. Nothing that's supposed to work works. 426 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to try all the stuff that I 427 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: don't even believe in, So I'll learn meditation from the 428 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: masters in Tibet, and I have since studied with gurus 429 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: all over the world. And I would say ancient practices 430 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: are as much a part of biohacking as the latest 431 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: gene therapy or the true dark glasses or anything like that, 432 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: because end of the day, once your body's working, everybody 433 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: wants to do things. We want to live a very 434 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: long time, longer than we're supposed to, because life is 435 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: so precious, and we want to be conscious, We want 436 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: our brains to work, we want to be happy. So 437 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: you can start by saying, you know, I don't arthritis 438 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: my knees anymore, or I want to fix this one 439 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: annoying problem eventually you're going to say, I'm gonna have 440 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: to work on becoming enlightened, whether I make it or not, 441 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have to work on being a good 442 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: human being. And once you get that, like man, I 443 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: don't want to stop. That's why I was there. I 444 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: wanted to learn from the people who studied it for 445 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: five thousand years because they probably knew something I didn't. 446 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 6: So when you first started out, you were like your 447 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 6: own guinea pig. You went through that process. And in 448 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 6: going through that, what was the craziest thing that you did? 449 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: Ah, Man, only one. There's a point of desperation if 450 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: you're obese and your brain is fogged out and you've 451 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: tried dieting. I went to the gym six days a week, 452 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: ninety minutes a day, without fail, for eighteen months. At 453 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: the end of that time, I had not lost one 454 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: pound and I had not lost an inch on my waist, 455 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: and I thought, maybe I'm eating too much lettuce. It's 456 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 1: all that's left. So the exercise didn't work, and I 457 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: just got really frustrated. So I said, I'm gonna try 458 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: the crazy stuff. One of the things I did that 459 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: comes to mind, I had the worst digestive problems. You 460 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: didn't want to be in a room with me after 461 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 1: I ate. So I bought this pill from Russia. It 462 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: was an electrical stimulator pill and you swallow it and 463 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: it shocks your intestines as it goes through you seconds 464 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: to muscle stronger. Well, it got stuck right here on 465 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: my leg, and so for about two hours I was 466 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: kicking like like what do I do? I'm just going 467 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: on a trampoline and all. And I do not recommend 468 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: this as a biohacking. That was a pretty crazy one. 469 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 3: One of the things though, that I that I often 470 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 3: think about is that there's a certain privilege if you will, 471 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 3: to longevity or health. What advice would you give a 472 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 3: single parent with four children that she wants to be 473 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 3: as healthy as she can be, and she wants her 474 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 3: children healthy. But we all know it's much more expensive 475 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 3: to eat at I'm not going to say the name 476 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 3: of places, you know, versus getting a value mil at 477 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 3: x place. So what are things that she can incorporate 478 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: for the health of her herself and her children. 479 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: The good news is that the most powerful bioacks are free. 480 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: In biohacking, the definition and I thought really hard about this. 481 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: It's the art and science of changing the environment around 482 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: you and inside you so you have control. So first, 483 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: what are the goals if you're a mom with four kids. 484 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: I have two kids, and I know the goals always. 485 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: I just want to have enough energy, right and I 486 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: got to make sure I put food on the table 487 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: and all these things. So you look at it from 488 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: that lens, and whether you gain or lose ten pounds 489 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: probably isn't your biggest goal. Of course, we all want 490 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: to lose the weight, but that's not most important. It's like, 491 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: can I show up right now the way my family 492 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: needs me? So what are the affordable or free things? 493 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: One of them is sunlight. Go outside without glasses on 494 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: for twenty minutes in the morning and it actually charges 495 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: your mitochondria and it sets you up to get better 496 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: sleep at night. Number two, turn off the lights at night, 497 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: get some dimmer switches, so sunlight in the morning and 498 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: darkness in the evening, and eating dinner a little bit earlier, 499 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: even if it's not the best dinner. And then you 500 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,239 Speaker 1: look at Okay, what are the food choices I can 501 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: make for the same amount of money that are better choices? 502 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: And as an example, if you learn how to cook. 503 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be fancy French cooking. White rice 504 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: is really cheap and it's better for you than French fries. 505 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: Butter is not more expensive than many other foods on 506 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: a per calorie basis. It's cheaper than vegetables. So now 507 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 1: you're getting good fats instead of some canola oil. So 508 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: you didn't spend any more money, but you're more nourished, 509 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: and your kids are not having these blood sugar swings 510 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: that makes them into little monsters, right, And they say, 511 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: how do I get more protein? And I used to 512 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: say eggs, but man, they've gone expensive lately. And if 513 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: you go to a place like a Costco where you 514 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: get a big old hunk of meat, it still can 515 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 1: be two dollars a pound, And you say, but that's 516 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: a lot of work to cook it. It's not boil 517 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: some water, throw the rice in there, chop up the meat, 518 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: throw the meat in there, and add some spices. It's 519 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: called soup and it's highly nutritious. And you can do 520 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: that for less than you'll spend at Mickeydea's. 521 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 5: You're listening to my legacy. We'll return in just a 522 00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 5: moment with more stories. And more wisdom. M M. 523 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 4: Now back to my legacy. 524 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 5: I love the friendship the two of you have created. 525 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 5: And damon, what's one thing that Dave has brought into 526 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 5: your life that's helped with your own health and well being? 527 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 2: Well? Dave and I were on a board of a 528 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 2: company that was now we talk about you know, things 529 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 2: that could be affordable, you know, a company with about 530 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 2: dental stuff, and and and and I remember I think 531 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: I was gonna call with him or somebody in there 532 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 2: where they were like, you know, you just got to 533 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 2: flush your teeth or get dental cleaning because you don't 534 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 2: realize that plaque goes into your system and that can 535 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 2: help cause strokes. Very simple for interesting concept. Right then 536 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 2: they started hearing about this stuff about probiotics and providicts 537 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 2: your gut. Well, then I heard, well you also, you know, 538 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 2: no matter how good your gut is, if you're drinking 539 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 2: tap water of various other waters with chlorine in it, 540 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: it kills your guts so you can't digest. The saying, well, 541 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 2: is that expensive. No, there's a bunch of springs where 542 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 2: you can go with big bottles and put it und there. 543 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 2: And I started hearing things that were very very like, uh, 544 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 2: you can, you can start down the path and see 545 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 2: if it's for you. And I think I reached out 546 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 2: to Day and said, hey, uh, I don't know. I 547 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 2: think i'll ask some something going to this conference, and 548 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 2: he was of such service because he just wants to 549 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: share the information. And then we started getting to know 550 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 2: each other besides sitting across from Zoom on those board seats. 551 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 3: And I'm sure it's impacted too if you have your 552 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 3: daughter and so. 553 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 4: To get this impact. 554 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 2: My wife has always been in that world. But I 555 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 2: just try not to listen to her. I have to 556 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: listen to about everything else around the house. At least 557 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 2: I would go, this is my body. But then all 558 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: of a sudden I had to go listen to her too, 559 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 2: because she was right. 560 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: I little thought on that too about our friendship. A 561 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: mutual friend of ours talks about categories of people. 562 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 4: Oh yes, I read about this. 563 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: In my new book Heavily Meditated and Doctor B And 564 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: category one people are people who are always win win 565 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: like they're always helping and they're not going to do 566 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: a deal where the other person loses. They might you 567 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: might win different amounts, but and the more consistent you 568 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: already call that a category one, and Damon is a 569 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: category one person's every everything I see you just you 570 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: talk about the security everyone. 571 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 6: Do I help? How do I help? 572 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 1: I respect that so much and I want to surround 573 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: myself with category ones. 574 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 2: Thank you. 575 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,719 Speaker 4: We share that friend in common. 576 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 6: So Damon, certainly, financial literacy is an area where you 577 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 6: have a great deal of knowledge when we think about 578 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 6: our children, and you also are involved in helping maybe 579 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 6: the world become financial literate. What is the What are 580 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 6: some of the things that you would recommend that be 581 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 6: done for children to expose them to more financial literacy. 582 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 6: I'm aware of most or many communities of color are 583 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 6: not focusing. There are some, but we got a long 584 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 6: way to go. But what do you suggest as some 585 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 6: techniques that can be used. 586 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a setup. I wrote a 587 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 2: book called Little Damon Learns to Earn became a New 588 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 2: York Times bestseller. It's the only book that teaches financial 589 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 2: intelligence for children. The reason I had created it is 590 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: not only just about community of color. Absolutely, community of colors. 591 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 2: How the gap is widened because we don't come from 592 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 2: legacy wealth, so we don't have anybody to share with us. 593 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 2: You know historically how to operate money and use money. 594 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 2: But it's America period. We're going off of an eighty 595 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 2: year old school system where we were at war and 596 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 2: we were teaching our children to build ships and to 597 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 2: be great workers for organizations and corporations, and we haven't 598 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 2: changed that. And so financial intelligence. When I advise a 599 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 2: lot of the teachers, they don't have financial intelligence. They 600 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 2: are absolutely amazing in science and history, and they're saying, 601 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 2: we don't know what to do. So I created a 602 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 2: little damion learns to earn for that purpose, because the 603 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 2: reality is a lot of stuff we're talking about here 604 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 2: comes from the lack of financial intelligence. You see, if 605 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 2: you don't get this and learn what interest is and 606 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 2: various other things and credit and all those things at six, seven, eight, nine, 607 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 2: ten years old, well then at fifteen, sixteen years old 608 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,959 Speaker 2: you get marketed by predatory loan people who want to 609 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 2: sell you a seven hundred thousand dollars school. You know, 610 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 2: education for a career. You're not even sure you want 611 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 2: to have. Fifty percent of the kids graduating today will 612 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 2: retire with a job title that doesn't exist today. It's 613 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: like telling somebody twenty years ago you're going to be 614 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 2: a gamer, a social media expert, a pay per click 615 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 2: expert of AI. So now, all of a sudden, if you, 616 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: all of a sudden get out of school, you have 617 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 2: five six, seven hundred thousand dollars worth a student debt. Well, 618 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 2: it's expensive to eat healthy. So now you start eating 619 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 2: the cheapest things in this country. What are they made 620 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 2: out of? The cheapest thing in this country are made 621 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 2: out of butter, sugar, and salt. Right, so you consume 622 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 2: more bad things. So understanding financial intelligence at a young 623 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 2: age is extremely important. You know, I knew it. My 624 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 2: mother was cruel. She made She did so many tricks 625 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 2: on me. She would sit there and do big puzzles 626 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 2: with me, thousand piece puzzles, and I would say, I said, 627 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 2: I said, about ten years ago, Mom, let's do a puzzle. 628 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 2: She said, why do I want to do a puzzle? 629 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 2: I said, we used to want to do one, you 630 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 2: know when we came She's like, I hated puzzles. I said, 631 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 2: what do you mean you hated puzzles? Yeah, but damon, 632 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 2: if you were sitting there for three hours, you let 633 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 2: down your guard. And I would and she would say 634 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 2: you I would go, oh, where's Alfa that he's not 635 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 2: in school anymore? Albert brought a new car, Alfred brought 636 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 2: a new car. 637 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: Is that right? 638 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 2: And so she would pull information out of me. When 639 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 2: she had to go to work. She said, damn, I 640 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 2: gotta cook food for three days because I'm gonna go 641 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 2: to all these jobs. Do me a favor. Stand on 642 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 2: this little cabinet, right on this little thing here while 643 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 2: I wash the dishes and cook and read me the 644 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal. I don't have time to read it, 645 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 2: and she would have me do. She was a cruel woman. 646 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 4: But I learned. 647 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 2: Financial intelligence, you know, through those things. When she said 648 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 2: the neighbor the meet, Now, neighborhood is always going to 649 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 2: be the worst meat ever. Just drive to that neighborhood 650 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 2: over there, and you're gonna get better meat, did a 651 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 2: better quality for a lower price. These are the things 652 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 2: that you dought me. 653 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 3: And now, Dave, i'd know that you have faced some 654 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 3: controversy and criticism, right particularly like during the pandemic and 655 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 3: stance on vaccines and with the when we were talking 656 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 3: earlier about the privilege of health, and you gave some 657 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 3: very tangible ways in which we. 658 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 4: All can have access to it. 659 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 3: How do you kind of reconcile the vulnerable communities, particularly 660 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 3: black and brown communities. 661 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: Well, I did not have the privilege of health as 662 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: a kid. I was antibiotics every month for fifteen years. 663 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: I was pretty sick and so when I regained my health, 664 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: this is powerful and the whole idea of bioarching. We 665 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: change our environments so we become healthier. It's not about 666 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: going out and spending a bunch of money. It's about 667 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: just no one give us the manual for the body, 668 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: and if you just know what to do, you can 669 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: have leverage. One thing, I've done a couple of shows 670 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: on this, so I've mentioned on shows that just it 671 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: just makes me angry. So vitamin D is a longevity 672 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: sep one. It's five dollars a month. It's a very 673 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: very cheap drug. 674 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 4: They're very critical, particularly for black children. Well there you 675 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 4: go more deficient traditionally, not just. 676 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: For black children, for black parents. Yeah, these good parents 677 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: take their kids to the hospital because they're crying. And 678 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: then hospital says, well there's five broken bones. Which of 679 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 1: you beat the child? And then because this our child, 680 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: we love our child, we didn't beat him. And they say, 681 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: well you're gonna We're gonna take the child to CPS 682 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 1: unless one of you confesses. So then the guys confess 683 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: and they go to jail. And doctor Cannell from the 684 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: Vitamin D Research Institute has testified dozens of times to 685 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: help get black men out of jail for a nutrient 686 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: deficiency that has nothing to do with abuse. And the 687 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: more we're indoors, the less sunshine we get. I have 688 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: very pale skin. I don't get enough sunshine. If my 689 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: skin was darker, I would need it even a bigger dose. Right, 690 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: So teach that this very cheap supplement makes for better brains, 691 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: less risk of diabetes, cancer, all the bad stuff, and 692 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: that the darker your skin and the more north you live, 693 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: and the more your endoors, the more you need. This 694 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: is cheaper than one meal at McDonald's. And just the 695 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: knowledge is so critical? Is it just tell me what 696 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 1: to do with very little money or no money to 697 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: get results. 698 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,479 Speaker 4: You should have DMK together, correct, You should have d. 699 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: Have to have vitamin K because vitamin K stops the 700 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: tissues from getting all crusty as the age. 701 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 4: Okay, so damon. 702 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 3: You created Black Entrepreneurs Day to support up and coming 703 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 3: founders who was one of your biggest mentors, And what 704 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 3: was the best piece of advice they gave you for 705 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 3: business and for life. 706 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 2: You know it'll be hard, but you know, I think 707 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 2: that a person named Jay Abraham great mentor, and Dave 708 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 2: knows them. I think that he had said to me 709 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 2: one day, and I talked about it several times. He say, 710 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 2: you never arrive. You know, every problem that you solve, 711 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 2: you create another problem. And that became very powerful. You know, 712 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 2: if I become an empty ness, you know I've solved 713 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 2: the problem. Right, hopefully my daughter is off living a 714 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 2: beautiful life. Well, now I have to rekindle that relationship 715 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 2: with my wife. All right, Once I saw that problem, 716 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 2: well how do I rekindle it? Where do we go 717 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 2: and what do we start to do? Now I saw 718 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 2: that problem, how do we do that more? You know? 719 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 2: So you know when you understand that. So, whether I 720 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 2: solve the problem of losing weight or just having more energy, 721 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 2: how do I either lose more or gain more muscle? 722 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 2: Maybe visually I'm losing weight from the outside, but how 723 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 2: do I kill visceral fat on the inside? You know? 724 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 2: So it and when you when you go to even 725 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 2: in love, right, if you fall in love, how can 726 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,720 Speaker 2: you be of more value to your spouse, your children, 727 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 2: your family, or your God. So I think that that 728 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 2: was probably the best vice ever because you know, growing 729 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 2: up you think, I mean mine, I'm letta be rich, 730 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 2: I'm done. You know, I get a college degree, I'm 731 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 2: guaranteed a job, I get married, It's guaranteed to be 732 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 2: happily every after No, you have to work at it. 733 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 2: You have to work at every single thing. And if 734 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 2: you when you stop working, well, what's the what's the 735 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 2: reason to live at the end of the day. And 736 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 2: then that's what drives me that that that one statement. 737 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 3: One of the things that I hold on to is 738 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 3: that life is about continual expansion and fuller expression. Yeah, 739 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 3: you know, that's kind of That's what we're here to do, 740 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 3: to continue to expand and express ourselves more and more fully. 741 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 5: To both of you, it's been fantastic hearing the conversation, 742 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 5: the friendship that you have for each other, the mutual 743 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 5: admiration as you talk about health and well being and 744 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 5: innovation and getting an MBA sitt next to you. I 745 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 5: love it. We always invite our listeners and viewers to 746 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 5: take this wisdom on how they can live a life 747 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 5: of fulfillment and impact. I just want to underscore a 748 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 5: few of the things you said. One it's it's not 749 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 5: actual anything you said, but just together as friends. I 750 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,919 Speaker 5: love that you are both titans in your own area 751 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 5: and you create this friendship to learn from each other. 752 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 5: It's actually remarkable and as a guy, frankly, there aren't 753 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,720 Speaker 5: those friendships that you see in that way, and especially 754 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 5: leaders admire it. Number Two, how health is accessible to 755 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 5: us sunlight, you know, the food, we the sleep. It's 756 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 5: not only the elaborate things, but it's the simple things 757 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 5: that have such an impact. And so how our listeners 758 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,919 Speaker 5: can share that wisdom in their life. And number three 759 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 5: fail fail every day. Be proud of the failures. Both 760 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,280 Speaker 5: of you wouldn't be where you are without those failures, 761 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 5: and asking your kids how do they fail today and 762 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 5: therefore what are they learning today? Love it and so 763 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 5: we are deeply grateful to both of you for joining 764 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 5: us at the Lake Nona Impact Forum on the KPMG 765 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 5: Lake House Campus, Orlando, in the Lake Nona community.

But this also not 775 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 3: that either one of you lead with this, but I 776 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 3: think is important, particularly in this day and age, to 777 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 3: elevate it.
