I don't 68 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 5: really look at somebody's like credit score, like you know, 69 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 5: with their bank balances. You know. For me, it's more 70 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 5: so like the vibe of a person have fun, if 71 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 5: they're a good person or not, how I look at it. Fortunately, 72 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 5: I'm not really dependent on somebody for finances, so it 73 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 5: doesn't really matter to me what their financial situation is. 74 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 5: Of course, there's always beneficial if they have a good 75 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 5: financial situation. But it's not a deal break up for 76 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 5: me because I honestly don't even really think about it 77 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 5: too much. 78 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 2: Okay, but if you were thinking, like, okay, if you're 79 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 2: getting close to someone and you're like thinking about marriage, 80 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: is that important in a mate a potential spouse that 81 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: they are financially responsible or do I feel like that's 82 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: something that you can like teach them about. 83 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 3: Okay? 84 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 5: I feel like you can definitely educate people. That's what 85 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 5: we do for a living is educate people. So I 86 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 5: feel like a relationship is meant to be a form 87 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 5: of education. Like a woman should educate a man, a 88 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 5: man should educate his woman, and you should learn together. 89 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 5: So you know, if my strong point is financing and investing, 90 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 5: then the woman and what doesn't necessarily have to be 91 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 5: strong in that area. But that's my responsibility to educate 92 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 5: her and to you know, show her different things, and 93 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 5: you know, hopefully she'll be able to you know, get it. 94 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 5: So yeah, it's not something that I really put too 95 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 5: much attention on as long as you're not like, you know, 96 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 5: going to do something that's just totally you know, dangerous, 97 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,239 Speaker 5: like to the situation. 98 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 3: Okay, I love that. 99 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: Now you guys are all over the place, y'all on 100 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: today's show, y'all getting ridden more, good more, Oh, y'all 101 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: on Good Morning America, getting rid up, written up in 102 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: the Wall Street journals and whatnot.

So 106 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: tell us how how this started with the two of 107 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: you guys. 108 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: With y'allhood friends. So I met him when I was 109 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 4: like twelve years old. Thirteen years old. He's two years 110 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 4: younger than me. So we we went to the same 111 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 4: high school, grew up in the same neighborhood, went to 112 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 4: the same community center as our friends. Our family are 113 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 4: all friends, so we all grew up together. He went 114 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 4: into a career of athletics and then when he left school, 115 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 4: chose a career in finance. And I was in school 116 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 4: and I went to education, and he always he always 117 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 4: used to joke on me about that. He's like, yo, man, 118 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 4: we went to school our whole lives. How you go 119 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 4: back like what's wrong with you? And so we were 120 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 4: starting our careers. At the same time I was teaching, 121 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 4: he was doing the financial financial advising, and I had 122 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 4: the summer program while I was interviewing kids to see 123 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 4: about what they wanted to do in the future, and 124 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 4: I would go out in the community and try to 125 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 4: match them with a prospect of like an internship, and 126 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 4: based on how they performed at their internship, I was 127 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 4: going to pay them at the end of the program. 128 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 4: And so it was the first time that these young teens, 129 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 4: right they were like fourteen years old. They had aged 130 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 4: out of the camp experience, but they were too young 131 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 4: to work. It was the first time they were going 132 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 4: to come in contact with money. And knowing that, I said, 133 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 4: they need to learn about money. I said, we need 134 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 4: to create something for them to learn about the money 135 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 4: and what you can do with it, how you can 136 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 4: save it, how you can share it, how you can 137 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 4: invest it. And so financial literacy was one of those things. 138 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 4: Like I was working in the city, like that wasn't 139 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 4: something that's talked about in schools, and I knew it, 140 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 4: like I was great in state tests, like given tests. 141 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 4: I know, like these things are not being spoken about, 142 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 4: and so I was like, this is an opportunity to 143 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 4: create something that's going to last for a lifetime. And 144 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 4: so that's why we kind of like started in the 145 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 4: space of financial literacy. He was doing social media time. 146 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 4: I let him speak about it and decided while we 147 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 4: were teaching, let's record what we're doing, because you know, 148 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 4: we could probably use this as an asset in the future. 149 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 4: And he had the foresight to see it and it 150 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 4: got us here. 151 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: Okay, I love that. And you guys have this podcast 152 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: has been rocking. 153 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: For how long? 154 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 5: Three years? 155 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 3: Three years?

So 179 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 5: you know, one of the good things about doing our 180 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 5: show is that it's a learning experience, not just for 181 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 5: the audience before ourselves. So every time we interview our entrepreneur, 182 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 5: it gives us some insight into what they have going on. 183 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 5: It allows us to actually brainstorm of if we want 184 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 5: to start businesses in that type of area. So one 185 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 5: of the things that we actually did was uh purchase 186 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 5: a truck, like an eighteen wheeler, So that was a 187 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 5: big that was a big episode for us. So we 188 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 5: have a truck on the road, so that's a that's 189 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 5: a revenue stream logistics. Then we have vending machines. 190 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, so today y'all posted about vending. 191 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 5: Machine Vendom Machines. That's in our old high school, so 192 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 5: that was cool. That's something that we got from our episode. 193 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 5: Merch is something that we didn't necessarily get from an episode, 194 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 5: but that's become like his own stream within itself as 195 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 5: far as like a business spin off. And then the 196 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 5: live event space is something that's really really big for us. 197 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 5: So you know, we had a festival last year called 198 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 5: in Vestfas which was four thousand people in that I'm 199 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 5: looking to scale that up even even bigger this year. 200 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 5: And then we did the sold out the Apollo we 201 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 5: got to show in Houston coming up. 202 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I'm not far, but it's just too much, jeez, Louise, Okay, 203 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: now listen. I want to ask about stocks, okay, because 204 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: I was told like a very long time ago, and 205 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: I have I have my own little portfolio of stocks. 206 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: But what I was hole was buy stocks that you 207 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: have something to do with, like that have that are 208 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: that you use, you're right that you use for instance, 209 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: like Lululemon, like eighty percent of my athletic where is 210 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: Lulu limits? So I have like a Lulu limit stock, 211 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: Apple stock because I got a phone, I got my 212 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: stock so is that true, Like, is that how you 213 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: should handle purchasing stocks? 214 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 4: I think so for anybody that's beginning in the in 215 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 4: the investment stage of in stocks, you want to go 216 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 4: from consumer to investor, right, And so you already well, 217 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 4: you were already a consumer. You bought all those products 218 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 4: on the consumer side, but now you're on the ownership side. 219 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 4: And so if you're already pouring money into a company, 220 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 4: and there's millions of people doing the same thing as you, 221 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 4: why not reap the benefits of your investment? Right? So, 222 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 4: like I'm giving money to Apple every time my iPhone 223 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 4: comes out, or every time a mac book comes out 224 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 4: of Lululemon puts out a new line, I'm always investing. 225 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 4: I'm consuming it, and I'm consuming it.

I used to actually go to school in Maryland, 254 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 5: so I used to live in Maryland. But like, oh 255 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 5: where'd you go UNBC? 256 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 2: Oh okay, and I knew your president's doctor ROBETI Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 257 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 2: great man, and a bunch of my friends. 258 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 5: You be a good guy, so like take like the 259 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 5: area there. John Hopkins right, Like you know, is getting 260 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 5: gentsified and real estate is going up. So it's like 261 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 5: you could have had a property there, let's say ten 262 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 5: years ago, and let's say you got it for fifty 263 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 5: thousand dollars and you sold it for seventy five thousand, 264 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 5: Like that's a you know, twenty five thousand dollars profit. 265 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 5: Most people be like, all right, that's a good deal. 266 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 5: But what if that same property is worth eight hundred 267 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 5: thousand dollars now right, Like you would be kicking yourself, 268 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 5: like I should have just held it instead of just 269 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 5: trying to get like a twenty five thousand dollar profit, 270 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 5: could have got hundreds of thousand dollars of profit.

So like people could 273 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 5: I understand that with real estate because they see areas 274 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 5: getting gentified, and they see real estate that was once 275 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 5: worthless now million dollar properties.

But if it's a good quality company, you 281 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 5: want to hold it for as long as possible because 282 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 5: you could have like a thousand percent rate of return 283 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 5: if you hold it for ten twenty years. 284 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 3: Okay, right, but give it. 285 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 2: But right now, like the market, the stock market is 286 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 2: going crazy, the crypto market is going crazy. I feel 287 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: like people are panicking because I mean I do like 288 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: little small trading on like e trade and stuff like that, 289 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 2: like or I have a coin base account.

Number one thing is don't panic, right, So, like 300 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 4: we always stress the people, never into a position unless 301 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 4: you know your exit strategy. And so that might be 302 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 4: a percentage, that might be a dollar amount. 303 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, unless you know your exit strategy. That's 304 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: like a dating rule one oh one. Unless you know 305 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: how you get out of this thing, don't get in it. Okay, 306 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go ahead, go ahead. 307 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 308 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 4: But like so that's the thing, like you want to 309 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 4: you want to get into a position in a company 310 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 4: that makes sense for you, right, So like when people 311 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 4: see you right in the market, they automatically think fear. 312 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 4: But if you're a new investor, if you're a season investor, 313 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 4: you know that there's an opportunity for me to add 314 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 4: to the positions I already have, or into a position 315 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 4: that I always wanted to. Right. So if you look 316 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 4: like a company like Apple in two thousand, they only 317 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 4: had the iPod, right, But if you would have bought 318 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 4: one thousand dollars in the past twenty two years, is 319 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 4: going up ten thousand percent, right, So you might have 320 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 4: said right when the market crash in two thousand and eight, 321 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 4: you might have been like, oh my gosh, like me 322 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 4: and sold it, right, or you could just been like, 323 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 4: all right, well it went down, let me grab some 324 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 4: more and now you're just adding to the games that 325 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 4: you have long term. So that's all stress buying and holding. 326 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 4: And if there's a pullback, like there is like a correction, 327 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 4: which just means that the market or the actual sector 328 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 4: itself has pulled back anywhere between six to twenty percent. 329 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 4: There's always an opportunity to gain more of ownership in 330 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 4: that company. So never look at it as a negative 331 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 4: unless you're in a company that isn't strong and it's 332 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 4: kind of like the balance sheets are all off, and 333 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 4: you know, they don't have a long history like companies 334 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 4: like Microsoft Apple they've been around for twenty thirty forty years. 335 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 4: Strong company X Like, there's there's a plenty of companies 336 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 4: that are out there that have been around and have 337 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 4: been profitable for a long time. Sick with those. 338 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 3: Before we get into the weeds. Let's get into the flowers. 339 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: Okay, So give me a fourth grade answer for this 340 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: crypto Bitcoin Should we get in? Should we get should 341 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: we not? I'm an old school girl. I'm all about 342 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: the almighty dollar. Like, I don't what to do. I 343 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: don't know what's important. You know, two months ago everybody 344 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: was like bitcoin, bitcoin, Now it's all crypto crypto, Like which. 345 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 3: One is crypto? I don't know? 346 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: But also, but add you know what I want you 347 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: to add, like n f ts in the metaverse. Yeah, 348 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: that's the stuff where I'm like, don't know that either. 349 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: That's that's the way because someone asked me to do something. Instead, Oh, 350 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 2: I'll pay you something, give you, give you an n 351 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: f T. 352 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: I don't know what. I don't know. No, pay me 353 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 3: a dollars. Okay. 354 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: So so don't give us big word, y'all. Just walk 355 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: us through like we're second grade. 356 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 5: Which one? Which one you want first? The NFT conversation 357 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 5: or the crypto conversation. 358 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 4: Crypto, You've come to the right place. 359 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 5: You want to Crypto you want to do all right? 360 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 5: So I mean cryptocurrency. The word I always say the 361 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 5: word currency is a little misleading when youre talking about 362 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 5: cryptocurrency because most of it is not really treated as 363 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 5: a currency, like a currency usually has to be stable, 364 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 5: where it's like if I give you a dollar today, 365 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 5: it's still gonna be worth a dollar tomorrow. Right. That's 366 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 5: how I can That's how I can pay for something 367 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 5: like you can't value a haircut at twenty dollars, but 368 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 5: then that same haircut is fifty dollars next week because 369 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 5: the price of the dollar went from being worth one 370 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 5: dollar to being worth twenty cents. So that's the volatility 371 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 5: in cryptocurrency where you see a couple months ago, Bitcoin 372 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 5: was sixty over sixty thousand. Now it's hovering around like 373 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 5: in the thirty thousand range, like it's fifty percent lower. 374 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 5: Imagine if the US dollar was fifty percent lower in 375 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 5: value and only worth fifty cents now, like that would 376 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 5: be crazy. You really can't make transactions to do business 377 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 5: with that. This is why we like big We'll talk 378 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 5: about bitcoin because you asked about bitcoin. Bitcoin's more so 379 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 5: of a store of value. Currency is currency store value 380 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 5: store value different, so it's better comparison is goal. This 381 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 5: is why people compare it to like digital goal, whereas 382 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 5: like a lot of people just hoard gold. You get 383 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 5: gold and you hoard it because it's like a hedge 384 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 5: for inflation. So gold has withstand the test of time. 385 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 5: It's always been valuable for a long period of time. 386 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 5: People value gold. You can you know, trade goal, you 387 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 5: can wear gold different things that nature. Gold has value 388 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 5: that people place on it. So Bitcoin Condon is the 389 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 5: same way where it's a limited amount, like there's going 390 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 5: to be a limited amount of bitcoins in a couple 391 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,959 Speaker 5: of years. It's not even going to be any more 392 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 5: bigcoins made, so it's a limited amount of bitcoins. It 393 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 5: has gone up in value because of the scarcity and 394 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 5: because people are looking for different ways to actually park 395 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 5: their money. Like we know that you know, fiat currency, 396 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 5: which is the dollars that we actually use all across 397 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 5: the world, actually gets devalued every single day because of inflation. Right, 398 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 5: So the value of milk is not the same as 399 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 5: it was ten years ago. So the value of the 400 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 5: dollar goes down each and every day, and it's not 401 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 5: backed by anything except for you know, the faith that 402 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 5: the people put in it. So now you have a 403 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 5: digital asset on the blockchain, which we'll can talk about 404 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 5: that with the NFT conversation, But you have a digital 405 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 5: asset that people put belief in, because that's the value 406 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 5: of anything, it's what people believe it, right, people put 407 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 5: belief in it. It's a new way to actually move 408 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 5: money at a much quicker pace because like we always say, 409 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 5: like the fastest way If I ask you right now 410 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 5: the fastest way to get a million dollars from New 411 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 5: York to London, what would you say? The fastest way 412 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 5: to do that would be a wire transfer. Well, the 413 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 5: fastest way is to actually get on a plane with 414 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 5: a million dollars and actually fly right. 415 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: But wouldn't why you go through faster than the plane. 416 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 5: Now most of the time, if you got a bang, 417 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 5: it's gonna take at least a couple of days for 418 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 5: a million for a million dollars to clear. 419 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 3: So that's true, that's true. 420 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 5: In this day and age in twenty twenty two. That's 421 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 5: crazy that you know, you can't move that kind of 422 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 5: money in a short period of time, whereas like on 423 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 5: the blockchain of cryptocurrency, you can do that in seconds 424 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 5: depending on what coin you use. 425 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, but let me ask you this now, is 426 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: this a way because I watched this this show on 427 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: on the Netflix that the drug dealers like hid the money. 428 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, so so that that that was a way, right 429 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 4: that and that that's kind of like one of the 430 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 4: downfalls for it, right you have you have coins that 431 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 4: people can you can't track, right, so like if I 432 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 4: make a transaction, the only thing that can say that 433 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 4: this happened is the block train, right, So it's a 434 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 4: transaction record, but you never know who did it. And 435 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 4: so it was a lot of a lot of times 436 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 4: in the past and hopefully it doesn't happen going forward 437 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 4: in the future. Is that people would smuggle money and 438 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 4: use it through the currency. So like there was a 439 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 4: bunch of coins that were being used at the time, 440 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 4: and they've called the fold and back end value. And 441 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 4: that's why when you when you hear decentralized, decentralized meaning 442 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 4: that there's no government or agency back in it. That's 443 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 4: kind of what they're saying, like, we need to have 444 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 4: regulation because if if you can land of money through 445 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 4: this quote unquote currency, it could be a dangerous tool 446 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 4: if it's put in the wrong hands. 447 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 5: So but yeah, so just to finish up crypto, the 448 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 5: benefits of it is that it's a way, it's a 449 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,959 Speaker 5: it's a currency that doesn't matter if you're in Russia, 450 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 5: if you're in Yugoslavia, if you're in Puerto Rico, if 451 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 5: you're in New York, it's the same, right, so you 452 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 5: don't have to change when you go to different currency 453 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 5: and you go to different countries, you gotta change your currency. 454 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 5: The speed moves a lot quicker. It's an alternative to 455 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 5: paper dollar, and it's a store of value where it 456 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 5: could serve as like a digital goal where now it's 457 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 5: a place where people can actually park money and have 458 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 5: the asset grow over the course of time. 459 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 4: And they also you think about other countries, and he 460 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 4: brought up a bunch of them, But how many of 461 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 4: these countries are have areas that they're on banks? Right? 462 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 4: Where is the next bank? Or is there a bank 463 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 4: even in my city? Right? And so now when you 464 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 4: have a digital quote unquote currency, you have it in 465 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 4: the palm of your hand or you have it in 466 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 4: front of your laptop, which makes it completely different. Now 467 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 4: you have access to something without even having to go 468 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 4: to a traditional banking. 469 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 3: So are you recommending that people invest in this? 470 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 5: Well, A, you should be knowledgeable before you invest in anything, 471 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 5: because you know, what's good for one person might not 472 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 5: be good for another thing. So I think A, you should. 473 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 5: You should just be up to date on what's going on. 474 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 5: But I will say this, it's here to stay. Cryptocurrency 475 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 5: I think is here to stay. Bigcoinner I think is 476 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 5: here to stay, and it's only going to become more 477 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 5: and more prevalent. So with that, with that information, you 478 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 5: can kind of, you know, make an educated decision whether 479 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 5: you want to invest or not. But that would be like, 480 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 5: you know what I think is going to happen. 481 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would start with education before anything any investment. 482 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 4: Real estate, crypto stocks. Educate yourself first, right, and especially 483 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 4: in crypto because like I said, right now, how do 484 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 4: we regulate it? Right? Like if I lose money, who 485 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 4: do I call? If this transaction doesn't go through? Who 486 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 4: do I? There isn't anybody, right, and so like that's 487 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 4: why the education process and the learning code is very quickly, 488 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 4: because if you just jump into this space of investing right, 489 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 4: you could get lost very quickly, and your money could 490 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 4: get lost very quickly and you'll never find it. So 491 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 4: educate yourself before before anything. 492 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 2: So are you comfortable giving suggestions to people on crypto 493 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 2: platforms to use and specific crypto to buy, Bitcoin, ethereum, 494 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 2: whatever it is. 495 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 5: I mean, you want to you want to stay with 496 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 5: the top tier cryptos. That's always the safest. Same thing 497 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 5: with the stock market. So when you look at like 498 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 5: the top tier cryptos that already have you know, strong backing, 499 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 5: institutional backing and use cases. You're looking at Ethereal, you're 500 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 5: looking at Bitcoin, You're looking at Cardona, looking at Stellar. 501 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 5: Solana is a new one. But Solana, you're talking about 502 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 5: the n f T conversation that goes hand in hand 503 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 5: with a lot of the n f T s. So 504 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 5: those are some of like the top tier cryptocurrencies that 505 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 5: you know if you are interested, and that's probably more 506 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 5: in the safe for play as opposed to going down 507 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 5: the line and getting some some that you know, people 508 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 5: have not have heard of, because that's what people do 509 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 5: to try to earn more money is take more risk. 510 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 5: But with more risk could come war, but it can 511 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 5: also come with the possibility of it just vanishing away. Also. 512 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, so like that that would the dose coin out 513 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 4: to be y achiva coin where people are just saying, like, 514 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 4: let's just hit this home run. It's less than a sense, 515 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 4: we can buy a bunch of it. But what happens 516 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 4: when it goes to zero sense or less than zero 517 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 4: the feeling? 518 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 3: Then you ask out. 519 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I always always get in late, like when 520 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: something you know, you hear about something popping off, and 521 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm gonna get in, and then I 522 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 2: get in and it just tan. 523 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, let me just. 524 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 2: Stop, Okay, But I do want to say, like, just you, 525 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 2: I think we can tell that crypto is here to 526 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 2: stay when now we have sports arenas being named after 527 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 2: you know, crypto platforms. You got clip crypto dot com arena, right, 528 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: and there's a coin base. Is it a coinbase? One 529 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: of them was on a coin base I saw on 530 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 2: a court I can't remember what team it was. And 531 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 2: then crypto dot com arena that's where the Lakers are playing. 532 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 4: Right formerly disabled Center. 533 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 3: Yup, Yeah, that's that's insane. That's what we had to say. 534 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 2: So so I want to get into the metaverse and NFTs. 535 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 2: But before we do that, I want to I don't 536 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 2: want to forget to ask you about any stock picks 537 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 2: that you might feel comfortable recommending for for someone that's 538 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 2: like looking to invest, you know, get into the market. 539 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 3: Where should they park their money? 540 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 4: I think you have the strategy correct when you said, 541 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 4: look at where you're spending your money now, and so like, 542 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 4: if I'm spending my money on Apple products, I probably 543 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 4: should be invested in that, right. If I'm ordering during 544 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 4: the pandemic, right, most people will ordering where you're ordering 545 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 4: anything from, probably Amazon, that would probably be a good 546 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 4: idea to invest in. So you can invest in these 547 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 4: individual stocks, but you could also invest in a group 548 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 4: of stocks like indexes or ETFs where it's like an 549 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 4: all star team of stocks. Right, And I always use 550 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 4: a comparison and shout out to our brother Ian Dunlap. Right, 551 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 4: if you think of ETFs as an all star team, 552 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 4: and you think of like a player like Lebron James 553 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 4: is probably the best player in the league. Right, Like 554 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 4: you can invest in him individually, but if he gets hurt, 555 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 4: then your investment might hurt. Right. But if you invest 556 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 4: in an ETF that has is Lebron in it? 557 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 3: Now break it down? What is ETF? Yeah, you're using 558 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 3: big words here. 559 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: You're using big words to break it down, I said 560 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: second grader. 561 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 2: Okay, and I want to say I invested in the 562 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 2: ETF based off of one of your podcasts, The Vanguard. 563 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 4: That's a good one. It change traded from etfeah. So 564 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 4: it goes by sectors. So ETFs are broken down into sectors, 565 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 4: and so there's different type of companies. So you have 566 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 4: technology companies, you have financial companies, you have industrial companies, 567 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 4: you have healthcare companies. And so let's say Lebron is Apple, right, 568 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 4: the greatest company, the greatest player. He Apple is a 569 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 4: tech company. And so we would be inside the ETF 570 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 4: like XLK would be ETF. But you also have other 571 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 4: companies inside there. Microsoft is inside there in Nvidio, which 572 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 4: is a chip company. AMD is a chip they're inside. 573 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 4: AMD is not inside there, but they're inside of this 574 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 4: tech company. Right, So if Lebron doesn't perform, well, you 575 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 4: still have Anthony Davis on your team, right, You still 576 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 4: have Steph Curry on your team. So he doesn't really 577 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 4: have to give you twenty seven points a game. He 578 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 4: can give you fifteen pointing you can still win. Whereas 579 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 4: if he's invested individually, if he gets hurt and he 580 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 4: needs to average of twenty seven, right, then individually just 581 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 4: much more exposure on the downside something happens to him. 582 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 4: Not to say that something will happen to Apple, but 583 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 4: we like to tell people like invest in solid companies 584 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 4: and then invest in indexes and ETFs just so you 585 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 4: don't have as musk exposure on the downside. Right, because 586 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 4: on a day like it two weeks ago, when when 587 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,719 Speaker 4: Apple pulls back or Microsoft pulls back, now that exposure 588 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 4: to that company brings you down. Whereas if you're in 589 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 4: the ETF, to pullback will be not as severe because 590 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 4: the percentage of how much of it is invested in 591 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 4: that company isn't as high. It's like one hundred percent 592 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 4: to twenty two percent. 593 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: Right. 594 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 3: It's almost like playing like fantasy football or something. Right, 595 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 3: like everybody you. 596 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 2: Got to see where everyone on the team is doing 597 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 2: and the Betterer each individual player is doing the Betterer. 598 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 4: Et exactly like you're gonna you're gonna pick a team 599 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 4: with strong players and so the same thing. 600 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: Ye yeah, Okay, switching gears just a little bit. And 601 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: I know we we we're skipping over the NSF stuff. 602 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 3: We're gonna come back here. We want to come back 603 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 3: to it. 604 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: But I have a question because you know, Robin and 605 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: I are entrepreneurs. 606 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 3: And you know, we always want. 607 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: To encourage especially black women to get out there and 608 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: invest in yourself and and definitely like strive for your dreams. 609 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: But you need money to do that. So what is 610 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: the best way to like raise capital for your business, 611 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: especially if you're a startup you know you're new to 612 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: just this entrepreneurial game. 613 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 5: I mean, there's a few different ways you can go 614 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 5: about raising capital. You can, you know, raise capital from 615 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 5: friends and family. You can, you know, leverage your credit, 616 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 5: you can take loans from your fall one K. Everybody's 617 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 5: situation is different. What we did personally was we just 618 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 5: started a business that had low startup course, which is podcasts. 619 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 5: Doesn't really take a lot of money to start a podcast, 620 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 5: and we used our personal money. You know, I wish 621 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 5: I could have had more of an elaborate story to tell, 622 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 5: but it really wasn't. We just we saved up. We 623 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 5: have money that we have from you know, working our 624 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 5: respective careers, and we were still working while we were 625 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 5: being an entrepreneur. That's another thing too, People you don't 626 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 5: necessarily have to do one or the other, like you know, 627 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 5: you can actually still do both at the same time. 628 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 5: If you have a nine to five job, you can 629 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 5: keep that nine to five job and still be an 630 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 5: entrepreneur when you get home. And then eventually as your 631 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 5: business takes off and now it's time to leave your 632 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 5: nine to five, then you know it's time to leave. 633 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 5: But in the meantime, use the money from your nine 634 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,239 Speaker 5: to five job or whatever kind of job you have 635 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 5: to help fund your business. So like your job is 636 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 5: really is the investor is the angel investing in your 637 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 5: business in that in that situation. Other than that, I mean, 638 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 5: of course, you can try to get bank finance, and 639 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 5: that's gonna be extremely difficult, almost impossible, especially if you're 640 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 5: just starting out. You're a black entrepreneur, it's gonna be 641 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 5: extremely difficult to get money from a bank. So, like 642 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 5: I said, I mean most of the time for entrepreneurs, 643 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 5: if you're just starting out, you're gonna have to either 644 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 5: use your own personal money, which is money that you 645 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 5: saved up, or you know, money from like retirement accounts, 646 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 5: money from friends and family. You can you know, take 647 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 5: money from your house. 648 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to stop you. I'm gonna have to 649 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 3: stop you right there. 650 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: The friends and family, that's like sure fire away to 651 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: cause a ruckus at Thanksgiving. Like no, okay, there's no 652 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: no friends and family. But definitely I believe in investing 653 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: in yourself, saving money and because there's nobody that's going 654 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: to support you or like root for you more than yourself. Right, 655 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: So I'm definitely down with that. Friends and family, I say, no, 656 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. 657 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 3: It depends. 658 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 2: I mean, if someone comes to me, I would say 659 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: more family than friends. If they come to me they 660 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 2: have a solid plan, then I'm not I'm I don't. 661 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 2: I'm not going to shy away from helping them out 662 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 2: if I really believe in it, if I see they 663 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 2: have a plan, if you know, but not someone just 664 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: says I'm struggling. Can I get some money?

I hear from 686 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 2: a lot of people who you know, they they're working 687 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 2: a nine to five and they really want to be entrepreneurs. 688 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: They really want to create multiple streams of income and 689 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 2: they don't know where to start. And you know, my 690 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 2: advice to them is, Okay, what are you interested in? 691 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 2: What can you, you know, find to monetize something that 692 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 2: you're interested in. But for people who really don't think 693 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 2: they have some sort of tangible item to sell, what 694 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 2: avenue would you say for like people should look into 695 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 2: to maybe become entrepreneurs. Like, I know there's so many things, 696 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 2: like especially with the vending machines, how is that going 697 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 2: for you guys? 698 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 4: I'll just start with education because I've had this conversation 699 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 4: with a number of my colleagues who don't think they 700 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 4: could be entrepreneurs, And I'm like, the first thing you 701 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 4: have to do is what's your purpose? Right? And everything 702 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 4: was like to help people. I'm like, well, you have 703 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 4: a skill set that somebody else doesn't have. You have 704 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 4: a skill set that I don't have. I use a 705 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 4: young lady for example. She her son is hearing imperent 706 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 4: and she's advocated for him for the past three years. 707 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 4: And I told him, like, look, your level of advocacy. 708 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 4: Everybody doesn't know how to do that. You should probably 709 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 4: write a book on this right, And her mind was like, wait, 710 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 4: I can't do that, And I'm like, yeah, you could. 711 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 4: Like you're fighting for this every single day. So the 712 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 4: first thing I would say is, look right in front 713 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 4: of you. You probably possess a skill and a purpose 714 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 4: that the other person doesn't. Right. Another one of my colleagues, 715 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 4: she was like, I don't know, I need to create 716 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 4: more income. I'm like, well, you're a great teacher, why 717 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 4: don't you create a tutoring service? Right? You can do 718 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 4: that after school, Like that's not going to cost you anything. 719 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 4: And you're doing what you naturally do. You're great at 720 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 4: you're a teacher. So the problem is that people will 721 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 4: use like, hey, I don't have the time for it. 722 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 4: But I'm like, well, either you're going to dedicate the 723 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 4: time to doing that, or you're going to dedicate the 724 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 4: next twenty five years to doing this, right. 725 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: Right, Troy, you dropping knowledge? Troy, you dropping knowledge over there. 726 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 4: It's just what you have to choose, right. But everybody, 727 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 4: I believe that everybody has a purpose. They just haven't 728 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 4: tapped into it, right, or they're overlooking it. A lot 729 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 4: of times, it's like it's right in front of you, right, 730 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 4: So like people ask me now, like hey, Troy, how 731 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 4: does it feel not to teach anymore? And I'm like, well, 732 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 4: I'm teaching every day. 733 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 3: You still teaching? Oh yeah, so you're teaching big time. 734 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 735 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 3: I didn't learn about four things today. I didn't learn 736 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 3: about four things. 737 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 6: You can talk assessment at the end of this right right, No, 738 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 6: but you are teaching a lot because, like I said, 739 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 6: I learned about I am you know, I learned about 740 00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 6: stocks from you guys. 741 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 2: I also learn about things to do for my children. 742 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 2: One of which I believe I learned from you guys was, 743 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 2: you know, make them your employee. I have a business. 744 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 2: So now I've set both of my kids up as employees. 745 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 2: I pay them, you know, just under the threshold so 746 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 2: that they're not taxed and you know, to tax right 747 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: off for me. They're building, you know, they're they'll be 748 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 2: they're building a little nest egg. What I know a 749 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 2: lot of people want to create generational wealth for their kids. 750 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 2: They want to set their kids up for success. So 751 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 2: what is the best advice that you can give to 752 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 2: parents to help them set their kids up for financial success. 753 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 5: Just start early, Start early, opening an investment account for them. 754 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 5: You can open up an OUTMA and that's like a 755 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 5: a brokerage account and investment account but for kids. 756 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 3: And uh wait a minute, what's that called again? An artma? 757 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 2: You t u t m A you t m ad 758 00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 2: audio account. 759 00:33:58,760 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 3: Y'all have kids? 760 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 5: I have a son? 761 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 3: Okay, Uta, Okay, I'm sorry, go ahead. 762 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 5: So that's an investment account that you are like pretty 763 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 5: much the owner that custodian of and you can put 764 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 5: money in. You can invest in Apple, you can invest 765 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 5: in ETFs and they don't gain access to that until 766 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 5: they turn eighteen to an adult, but you know, that 767 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 5: allows the money to grow into an account. So that's 768 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 5: that's one real easy way that you can do it. 769 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 5: You can do any online account like TD and mariatrade, 770 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 5: you can do Merrill Lynch, any like online brokens account. 771 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 5: You can go in there and take a couple of 772 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 5: minutes into the information and then you have the account 773 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 5: you can start investing money in. You can have a 774 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 5: five to twenty nine plan, which that allows you to 775 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 5: put money away for their education. So that's the way 776 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 5: that you know, parents want to save for college, or 777 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 5: you want to save for prep school or whatever, not 778 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 5: just higher education, any form of education. You can save. 779 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 5: And the good thing with the five to twenty nine 780 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 5: plans is that the money is tax free as long 781 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 5: as you use it for education. And depending on what 782 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 5: state you live in, if you invest in the state's 783 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,760 Speaker 5: file twenty nine plan, you get a state tax deduction 784 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 5: for the amount of money that you put in, so 785 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 5: that's beneficial as well. So those are two easy ways 786 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 5: where you can actually go about to start to build 787 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 5: some assets, some wealth for your child down the line. 788 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think what you're doing now is great, right, 789 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 4: like paying them as employees of your business. Right, if 790 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 4: your child is seven years old, can you imagine if 791 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 4: you paid them ten thousand dollars a year to their 792 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 4: seventeen right, Yes, it's right, you're talking about you there 793 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 4: are already six figures by the time they're eighteen. And 794 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 4: if you invest in a custodio account. That's why we'd 795 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 4: like to talk about starting early. Right. So right now, 796 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 4: our kids are playing roadblocks and they're using their iPads, 797 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 4: and so these are companies that we're invested in and 798 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 4: putting inside their studio cults. Now, when we talk about 799 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,479 Speaker 4: whole long term, that's not even a vision like long term, 800 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 4: like I'm seventeen, they're still young, right, but that's ten 801 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 4: years of equity that they've grown inside those companies. And 802 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 4: so that's another way. Just look at what they're doing 803 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 4: now right where they invest in their time in because 804 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 4: kids will tell you what's trended and what's hot, right, 805 00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 4: they'll let you know. 806 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 3: Right, that's not true, you know. 807 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 2: So, so my father had an UPMA for me, and 808 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 2: of course once I turned like eighteen and I was 809 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 2: had access to it, I blew. 810 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 3: Right through it. So like thriving not good. 811 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, So so the hard part is, yeah, we're gonna 812 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 2: say for our kids, but we also have to teach 813 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 2: them and create discipline for them so that they don't 814 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 2: blow through that money and so that they you know, 815 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 2: maybe continue to invest it. But that definitely happened to me. 816 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 2: Like me and my brother, we blew through our us. 817 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 3: So this is what not to do. 818 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 4: But that's why we and I've been saying this recently. 819 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 4: It was like we the term generational wealth is cool, 820 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 4: but generation generation it could be blown. Not to say 821 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 4: that that's what happened to you, But the term really 822 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 4: should be sustainable wealth, right, So as they're growing and 823 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 4: how do they sustain it so that they can't mess 824 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 4: this up, right, Like, there's no way we're gonna put 825 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 4: the if this was bowling, we're putting the bumpers up 826 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 4: so that we've generated the wealth right this generation, and 827 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 4: we're going to teach them how to sustain it so 828 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 4: that their kids and their grandkids will always have this wealth. Right, 829 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 4: because if we teach generation, there's no way. I gave 830 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 4: the example my dad worked for forty two years. My 831 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 4: son is eight years old. Since he's been alive, he's 832 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 4: only seen my dad sitting on the couch. He's never 833 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 4: seen the hard work that he had to put in. 834 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 4: He's never seen those things. And so like, yeah, I 835 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 4: can teach you that he can watch me, But the 836 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 4: more important thing is how to sustain this long term. 837 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 2: Okay, I still want to talk about the metaverse, but 838 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 2: so that's gonna we're gonna close out with the metaverse. 839 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 2: But before we before we let y'all go, are there 840 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 2: any particular episodes that you would tell our listeners who 841 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 2: are new to you, guys who want to learn about, 842 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 2: you know, investing in business, Like, do you have episodes 843 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 2: that you're like, this is the one, go listen to 844 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 2: this one and then they'll be hooked and then they'll 845 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 2: start listening to some more. 846 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 5: I think episode forty four with On Wall Street trap, 847 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 5: but that was a good introduction to stocks. If anybody's 848 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 5: interested in stocks, that's something that you could listen to 849 00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 5: and learn about the stock market. Episode eleven, which is 850 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 5: probably one of my favorite episodes, that was a restaurant 851 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,360 Speaker 5: owner from Baltimore actually, and he actually gave a complete 852 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 5: blueprint of like the engine outs of his industry. So 853 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 5: not just for people that's interested in running a restaurant, 854 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 5: but anybody that's interested in business period. That's a very 855 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 5: very detailed, transparent episode. So those are two episodes that 856 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 5: I would I would put I love that. 857 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 3: You know the number. 858 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: I mean, okay, wait, we don't know then none of 859 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 1: our episodes four. 860 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 2: I hold your thought, Troy, because I want you to 861 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 2: tell us your episodes. 862 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 3: How do y'all know? How many episodes do you have? 863 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 3: And how do you know? 864 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 5: Those are just those that good? Those are memorable episodes 865 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 5: for me. So I kind of, you know, stuck out. 866 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 2: That's that's awesome. I'm listening to them, all right, what 867 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 2: you guys? 868 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 4: All right? So we got the first answers we got 869 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 4: one hundred and sixty nine episodes. Relisha. Number eleven is 870 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 4: probably my favorite as well, and number twelve where we 871 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 4: actually talk about real estate with our brother MG to 872 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 4: mortgage guy. It's a very powerful episode, kind of changed 873 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 4: my mindset. We recorded it in my and when he 874 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 4: was talking about strategies and how to invest in real estate, 875 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 4: I'm thinking to myself, like, damn, I wish I would 876 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 4: have known this three years prior. So that was one 877 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 4: of those. And then episode seventy well with our brother 878 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 4: Ian Dunlap, who's our partner on Market Mondays, is another 879 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 4: one of those investment episodes that just kind of like 880 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 4: shook the world up a little bit. So those two 881 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 4: are incredible. But there's a lot. There's a bunch of them. 882 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 4: We have an Airbnb episode, we have the Vendom Machine episode. 883 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 4: Obviously the trucking episode that we did change the game. 884 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 4: So there's a bunch of them. There's a lot. 885 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, So I love them. I love it awesome. 886 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna let y'all go, but we're gonna 887 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 2: talk about these NFTs and the metaverse and what does 888 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 2: all that mean and should I do? Should I should 889 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,240 Speaker 2: I sell a picture of myself for some money? 890 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 5: Is that what? 891 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 4: It's like, that's only that's only fans. That's only fans. 892 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 4: That ain't that ain't. 893 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 3: We're not doing only fans. We're not doing that, right 894 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 3: because that's naked. You get naked. You can show people 895 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 3: your feet and stuff. Oh yeah, don't nobody want to 896 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 3: see my toes? But my toes are kissable. But anyway, 897 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 3: let's move on. 898 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,439 Speaker 5: So NFTs, you want to know what they are? 899 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:01,919 Speaker 3: Yeah? 900 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 2: Like I just keep this, I just keep hearing n 901 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 2: FT's metaverse. It's just you know, like people selling pictures 902 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,879 Speaker 2: and I don't know, like old stuff and getting making 903 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 2: a million. Oh I saw some of my thirteen year 904 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 2: old girl made a million dollars off of NFTs. 905 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 3: Like what is this? 906 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, NFT is a non fungible token show. It's so 907 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 5: when you think of something that's replaceable, that's fungible. So 908 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 5: like shout out to my brother nineteen keys. He gave 909 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 5: a really good example at all you So a dollar 910 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 5: a dollar is fungible, right, So it's like if you 911 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 5: have a dollar bill and you lose it and then 912 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 5: I give you another dollar bill, it's not a big deal. 913 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 5: You don't really care, right, right, But like let's say 914 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 5: that if Beyonce autographed a dollar bill, right, you lose 915 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 5: it and then I give you another dollar bill, and 916 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,879 Speaker 5: that's not the scene. Okay, you know what I'm saying. 917 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 5: Because now now that autograph Beyonce, that's non fungible. You 918 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 5: can't really replace that. So now what it is is 919 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 5: it's the same thing with art. So like if Boskioch 920 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 5: does a painting, right and he's no longer here, there's 921 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 5: no way to really replicate that unless you just have forgery. 922 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 5: There's only one of those paintings, which is why they're 923 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 5: so valuable. Right. So now with NFT, it's the same idea, 924 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 5: the same concept, but it's on a blockchain, which is 925 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 5: why art was like the first adoption to the NFT 926 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 5: world if you think about it, because that makes complete 927 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 5: sense where it's like you have artists that draw something 928 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 5: and it's only one of one of those, so it 929 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 5: will be the same thing in the digital world. So 930 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 5: now they came up with like digital art, whereas like 931 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 5: apes and monkeys and lions and all these different things. Right, 932 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 5: So that's one way to think about it where it's 933 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 5: like kind of like a digital art form that can't 934 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:57,280 Speaker 5: be replicated, can't be can't be duplicated, and the proof 935 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 5: of it is on a blockchain, which to say, okay, 936 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 5: this is number one of one. You are the owner, 937 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 5: nobody else has it. You have all the rights to it. 938 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 5: That's it. It's not arguable, you can't argue it, can't 939 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 5: do anything with it. But there's other real world use 940 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 5: use cases to it as well. So like Nike is 941 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 5: planning on releasing NFTs with every sneaker, so now it's 942 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 5: like the counterfeit sneaker market is huge. So now you 943 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 5: don't have to worry about buying fake Jordan's because you 944 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 5: know you can identify that this is a one authentic 945 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 5: Nike shoe because of the NFT that's attached to it. 946 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 5: So smart. Yeah. So or even like nas who just 947 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 5: released two songs via the NFT holders have they actually 948 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 5: have rights to the song. So now they get publishing 949 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 5: rights every time the song gets sold. So now they're 950 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,800 Speaker 5: actually owners of his catalog, like part of his catalog, 951 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 5: they actually owners of it. So that's an interesting way 952 00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 5: to go about it as well, where now you can 953 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 5: actually like a business or influencer or a musician can 954 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 5: actually offer their fans, their supporters ownership, and their music 955 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 5: or ownership, and their product ownership and their company by NFTs. 956 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 5: And it's like, if you own this, it's like a 957 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 5: stock certificate. Like if you own this NFT, you're guaranteed 958 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 5: to two percent of the portions forever. And a good 959 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 5: thing too, is that it lasts forever, lasting perpetuity, and 960 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 5: every time it gets resold, the original person gets a percentage. 961 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 5: So you set a commission. So if it's like, let's 962 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 5: say you set a ten percent commission on it and 963 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 5: it's a digital artwork, Now you sell it for one 964 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 5: thousand dollars, and then somebody else sells it for ten 965 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,800 Speaker 5: thousand dollars. Now when they sold it for ten thousand, 966 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,240 Speaker 5: you get a thousand because you have a ten percent 967 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 5: commission on it. So it's like, imagine if Boscioch, if 968 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 5: he like, his latest painting sold for like one hundred 969 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,959 Speaker 5: million dollars a couple of years ago. But I think 970 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 5: the most he ever received for a painting while he 971 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 5: was alive was like less than one hundred thousand. So 972 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 5: imagine that his family, if it was an NFT, his 973 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,800 Speaker 5: family actually had that royalty now let's say it was 974 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 5: ten percent. So now when it got sold last year, 975 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,919 Speaker 5: two years ago for one hundred million, his family would 976 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,240 Speaker 5: have got ten million dollars as opposed to his family's 977 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 5: like getting anything from one hundred million. If it gets 978 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 5: sold again for three hundred million, his family doesn't get 979 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 5: anything from that. So, you know, the NFT conversation, I'll 980 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 5: let you talk about the metaverse, but the NFT conversation 981 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 5: is something that is extremely interesting because it carries a 982 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 5: lot of different verticals. A lot of people are just 983 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 5: focusing on one area, which is the art, and they 984 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 5: don't understand it. And it's like, yeah, why is the 985 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 5: ape selling for three hundred thousand dollars? Why is a 986 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 5: picture of a banana selling for fifty thousand dollars? But 987 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 5: that's only one part of it. It has a lot 988 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 5: of different use cases and I think that that's going 989 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,439 Speaker 5: to be interesting to see, Like, you know, it play 990 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 5: out more and more as the future. 991 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 2: So where do you go to learn more or to purchase? 992 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 2: You know, if I wanted to purchase no ape? 993 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 3: Where do I go? If I wanted to sell him 994 00:44:58,800 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 3: the picture of me? 995 00:44:59,800 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 2: Like? 996 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 3: Right, I don't know where that. 997 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 4: You wanted to sell your own enerty, you'd have to 998 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 4: go through what's called a minting process, and it is. 999 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 4: There's a few places you can do that. The space 1000 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 4: is so new, it's almost like when when the Internet 1001 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 4: was around, when everybody was like trying to find their 1002 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 4: dot com. That's that's what we're going through right now. 1003 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 4: And so like that NFT piece is really important, but 1004 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 4: like sites like openseed dot io is a place you 1005 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,399 Speaker 4: can like do some research and search the artwork, right, 1006 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,359 Speaker 4: So like when we're talking about board ape, so we're 1007 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,240 Speaker 4: talking about women of color, we're talking about crypto punks. 1008 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,879 Speaker 4: You can see actually those actual pieces and you can 1009 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 4: bid on them, right. It's the same thing like you 1010 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 4: would bid on a piece of art. This is just 1011 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 4: done in the digital currency. So Ethereum is the platform 1012 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 4: that all these are built on right now, and Sonano's 1013 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 4: another one where they're actually gaining some ground. So that's 1014 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,919 Speaker 4: why it's important to educate yourself, right because if you 1015 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,240 Speaker 4: press the wrong button or you send them wrong code 1016 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,360 Speaker 4: and you're trying to buy a piece of art or 1017 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 4: an NFT, you could lose it if you don't do 1018 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 4: the right thing. So that's important too. And then the 1019 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 4: metaverses is it's interesting, right, I felt like we've been 1020 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 4: prepared for this our whole lives, right, We're actually we're 1021 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 4: the ones who like we're champion this our whole lives. 1022 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 4: If we played video games in the eighties and the nineties, 1023 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 4: definitely in two thousand, if you played Grand Theft, Auto 1024 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 4: or Call It Duty or any of those game roadblocks 1025 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 4: the SIMS, I mean, like the SIMS was like this 1026 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 4: virtual world where you have characters. The only difference now 1027 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 4: is that you are the character inside these spaces and 1028 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 4: there's real, actual companies inside. And so the metaverse is 1029 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 4: like a virtual world. And I know it's kind of 1030 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 4: crazy because Facebook is now meta, and so when you 1031 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 4: think meta, you think Facebook. But there's a bunch of worlds. 1032 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 4: You've got to think of it like a galaxy of places. 1033 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 4: And so where people are going to will determine the 1034 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 4: value of the land that's there. So I know, like 1035 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 4: Snoop has, everybody keeps talking about Snoops in the metaverse, 1036 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,839 Speaker 4: and everybody wants to buy property around him. And what 1037 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,719 Speaker 4: that does is when he buys property right and people 1038 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 4: want to live in it, it drives the value of the 1039 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 4: actual property inside the space. So people are like, well, 1040 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,799 Speaker 4: why would I have a digital virtual world? Well, number one, 1041 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 4: people are there right, this is the wave right now, 1042 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 4: and number two, there's plenty of use cases for it. 1043 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 4: So right now, like his neighbor, right, if they decided that, hey, 1044 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 4: I'm going to have an art gallery on the bottom 1045 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,800 Speaker 4: floor of my house, right, the people who leave Snoops 1046 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 4: house will probably venture over to his next door neighbor, right, 1047 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 4: and then they'll see artwork that is hanging and they 1048 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 4: can bid on that artwork. Right on the second floor 1049 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 4: of the house, they maybe decide that they're going to 1050 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,399 Speaker 4: have a virtual party up there, right, and they might 1051 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,120 Speaker 4: charge people ninety nine cents to be in that party, right, 1052 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 4: So rather than having everybody, you could charge ninety nine 1053 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 4: cents or ninety nine whatever the equivalent is in ease, 1054 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 4: and now you can actually make money for your virtual space. 1055 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 3: Is this through Facebook or no? Is this through Facebook 1056 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 3: or not? 1057 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 4: It doesn't have to be. It doesn't have to be. 1058 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 4: They're still working on that place. Like the Central Land 1059 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 4: is a place that a lot of people will use, 1060 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 4: probably the most popular. We actually went into what's it 1061 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,320 Speaker 4: called decentral Land. 1062 00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 3: On the Central Land. 1063 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:00,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's probably. 1064 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 2: This is is this just for young people? 1065 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,399 Speaker 3: I mean no, my kids. 1066 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 1: My kids are all into the SAM So they're about 1067 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 1: to be like multi millionaires in about five minutes, okay, 1068 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 1: because they're about to get into this. 1069 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 4: Imagine if Reasonably Shady did a live show, right, and 1070 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 4: you had six. 1071 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,280 Speaker 3: Which we're doing by the way, we're working towards yes. 1072 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 4: And we have an audience of five hundred people right now. 1073 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 4: Imagine that's five hundred ticket buyers and they can consume it. 1074 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 4: But what if you did it in a virtual space 1075 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 4: and now there is no limit, right, you could have 1076 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 4: five thousand people in there. And if you've played the SAMs, 1077 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 4: if you played any of these games, Roadblocks, Fortnite. People 1078 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 4: want to separate themselves by the way they look, and 1079 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,280 Speaker 4: so now you have Yes, now you have a space 1080 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 4: where you see Polo entering the metaverse, right, you see 1081 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,840 Speaker 4: Gucci entering the metaverse? Why because I want to have 1082 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 4: something that's unique. I want to look different from that person, 1083 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 4: and we all don't want to look the same. And 1084 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 4: so now you see it, like, all right, well we'll 1085 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 4: charge two ninety nine cents, right. Those add ons that 1086 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,040 Speaker 4: go inside games that you're a parent, you already know 1087 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,919 Speaker 4: about You're already doing it, and so like two ninety 1088 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,719 Speaker 4: nine adds up when you have a million people doing this. 1089 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 4: Travis Scott decided to do a concert, right, Like he 1090 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 4: could have twenty thousand people in arena or he could 1091 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,319 Speaker 4: have six million people watching more Fortnite. Yeah, you see 1092 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 4: the different. So there's so many different advantages that you 1093 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 4: have from being in the virtual space, and we've already 1094 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 4: prepared for it. Like I said, like our kids paid roebucks. 1095 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,799 Speaker 4: This is nothing new to them. It feels like it's 1096 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 4: new to us. But when I thought about it, I'm like, wait, 1097 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 4: this feels like grand Theft alto when I was growing up. 1098 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,400 Speaker 4: And so like the kids, they already are very trained 1099 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,560 Speaker 4: for very used to it. And it's not just for 1100 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 4: young people. The wealthiest people in the world are probably 1101 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,240 Speaker 4: already invested in the land inside of these spaces because 1102 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:43,799 Speaker 4: they know that this is the next thing that's coming. 1103 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,319 Speaker 3: Yeah for sure, all right, we have gotten to let 1104 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:47,839 Speaker 3: you go all day. 1105 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 2: I know it's just so many questions, but honestly, people 1106 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 2: are listening.
