Yeah, I was. 26 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: I was saying to just be for those of you 27 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: who are listening or watching our saying him that Eminem. 28 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: I've always been a massive Eminem fan, and so I 29 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 2: heard about Detroit so much growing up. And Big Schwan's 30 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: dear friend. He's been on the show like three or 31 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: four times. So I can't believe I haven't been to 32 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: Detroit yet. 33 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and our office is in downtown Detroit. For those 34 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: they don't know there, we go there. And did you 35 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: grow up in Detroit? I did Metal Detroit? 36 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: Okay, amazing, So that makes sense. 37 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: Then yep, yep for close to home. 38 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 2: But just really, let's dive in. The reason why I 39 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: love sitting down with you is because I feel the 40 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: advice is so practical, it's so tactical, and it's extremely honest. 41 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: And the first question I have for you is something 42 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: that I've really been experiencing when talking to people. And 43 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: I just went on tour. I was in fifteen cities 44 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: across North America. I don't know why we didn't come 45 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: to Detroit, but fifteen cities across North America and Canada. 46 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: And whenever I do that we were taking on purpose. 47 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: On tour, I sat down with people and listening to 48 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: people's questions, and something that I was really noticing was this, 49 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: if someone's living paycheck to paycheck, what's the very first 50 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: step they can take to break that cycle. 51 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: Yeah. One of the most unfortunate things about money is 52 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: we use money every single day. It cost money to eat, 53 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: it cost may to feed other people. We go to 54 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: work to earn money, yet most of us are never 55 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: taught a thing about money. And so what happens to 56 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: so many people is we go to school to get 57 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: a good job, and now we go and get an income, 58 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: and I'm going to go and spend money, and that 59 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: recipe is a disaster. Just Statistically, the majority of Americans 60 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: are living paycheck to paycheck, and by majority it depends 61 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: on which study you read. It's somewhere between fifty five percent, 62 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: and some people say as high at seventy eight percent. 63 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: Of Americans have no money left over for a gift 64 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: of vacation, let alone and investment. After I just pay 65 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: my basic necessities and now the problem and question that 66 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: everyone has is why and how do I get out? 67 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: And in order to get out, because that's your question, 68 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: you have to understand the why because the reality and 69 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: this is going to sound harsh, but I learned this 70 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: the hard way. Our system is so rigged for the 71 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: rich and the financially savvy, but we're never taught to 72 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: be financially savvy. What do I mean? When you understand money, 73 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: it's much easier for you to get that money and 74 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: grow that money. When you don't understand it, you're the 75 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: one that's making everybody else rich. So in this system 76 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: where you are working to make money and spend money, 77 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: you're working to make everybody else rich except yourself. Why 78 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: Because the majority of America and really the world now 79 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: is I make money and I spend money, and every 80 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: dollar you spend is a dollar going into somebody else's pocket. 81 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: And in our society, we live in what's called a 82 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: credit based economy. What that means is if I make 83 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: one hundred dollars from my job, I have the ability 84 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: to spend that one hundred dollars plus more thanks to Visa, AMX, MasterCard, 85 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: Discover and all the other forms of debt out there. 86 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: And so if I go out and spend one hundred dollars, 87 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to make you one hundred dollars richer. If 88 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: I spend one hundred dollars plus fifty dollars on my 89 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: credit card, I just made you one hundred and fifty 90 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: dollars richer. And so when we live in a society 91 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: that's built around spending, but more specifically credit based spending, 92 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: and you don't have that shield, that financial education, that 93 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: financial savviness to know what to do with their money, well, 94 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: now every corporation in the world, every bank in the world, 95 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 1: is going to hire the smartest marketers, the smartest MBAs 96 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: to get you to spend your money there because that's 97 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: going to make them rich. And you were going to 98 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: work just to pay bills, just to make them rich, 99 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: and now you never have a chance to get ahead. 100 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: So this system is designed this way. Now, how do 101 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: you get out? And the way you get out? We 102 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: can break it up into multiple steps now, and it 103 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: starts with step number one building the right mindset. So 104 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna break it up into seven steps. Step number 105 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: one is the mindset. And when it comes to mindset, 106 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: there are four different layers of this mindset that you 107 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: have to understand. Number one is I will become wealthy. 108 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: Number two is money is abundant. Number three is money 109 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: is a tool. Number four it's is my duty to 110 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: become wealthy. And the reason why I say that is 111 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: a lot of us grow up with some sort of 112 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: money trauma, some sort of money negativity. And people say 113 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: poverty is generational. Well, it's not that we have a 114 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: gene in our DNA saying you're going to be poor. 115 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: What it is is you grew up hearing money is bad, 116 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: money is evil. We don't have enough money. That's too 117 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,679 Speaker 1: much money, We can't afford that. We hear these types 118 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: of things growing up, and so we start to normalize 119 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: those things that, oh, okay, as a kid, I can't 120 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: afford that trip to Disneyland. I can't afford these nice 121 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: things that I want. And then as you start to 122 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: get older, you start to have kids yourself. What happens 123 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: when your kids want nice things? We can't afford that. 124 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: That's too much money, that's beyond what we have, So 125 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: that gets passed down. It's that mindset that gets passed down. 126 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: So the first step is you need to change the 127 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: way you talk and say I will become wealthy. And 128 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: I did a little exercise. I used to guest teach 129 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: in Detroit public schools and it was a very tough 130 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: school district, very rough school district, and I would talk 131 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: to these kids about money. And I think we talked 132 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: about this in our last podcast, But one of the 133 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: things I would ask them is what is your dream car? 134 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: And many people would have dream cars of things like 135 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: Afford Focus or Dodge Challenger, and I would say, why 136 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: not a Bugatti? Why not a Rolls Royce. The answer 137 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: that I would get is somebody like me from my 138 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: background could never have a nice car like that. So 139 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: when you tell yourself I can't, I guarantee you can't, 140 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: which is why you have to start saying, oh, we'll 141 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: become wealthy. Number two is money is a tool. Many 142 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: people are scared to talk about money because we're insecure 143 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: about our own money. But the reality is money is 144 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: a tool that can amplify who you are. You give 145 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: a good person more money, they have a tool to 146 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: do more good. You give a bad person more money, 147 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: they have a tool to do more bad. Which is 148 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: why we need more good people with money and understanding 149 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: the hete. You know what, is just a tool that 150 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: can allow you to do more things to take better 151 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: care of family, your kids, your parents, and your community. 152 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think the challenge is we look at how 153 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: much we're worth as a sign of how much we 154 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,679 Speaker 2: are worth. Right, Like, there's that idea of we're almost 155 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 2: looking at it. The reason we're uncomfortable or and secure 156 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: talking about money is because in some way we believe 157 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: society values us based on how much we make, and 158 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: certainly we may have started to value ourselves that way 159 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: as well. 160 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: Well, this is one hundred percent true. And just take 161 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: a look at it from Instagram. Instagram has become a 162 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: highlight reel. I'm going to show my best self. But 163 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: we often don't look at it as somebody else's highlight reel. 164 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: We look at it as somebody else's average. And now, 165 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: let's say you're in a relationship. Your wife is now 166 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: on Instagram and she says, oh my god, this couple's 167 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: going to Cancun. Oh my god, look at this nice 168 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: house that this couple has. Oh my god, look at 169 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: the car he just got her. What's going to happen? Hey, hubbs, husband, 170 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: how come we can't have these nice things. What are 171 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: we doing wrong? How can we we feel the sense 172 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: of like I'm missing out? And so now we go 173 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: back to my money is my worth, But that's not true. 174 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: Money is one part of our lives, and you have 175 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: to understand that more money will allow you to fulfill 176 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: the financial part of our life, which is important. But 177 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: the only way you get there is by getting on 178 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: the same page about money and building that separation between 179 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: the emotional side of money and the logic side of money. 180 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: And that can be difficult because oftentimes, especially when we're 181 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: struggling with money, we're thinking emotionally, why is it that 182 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: the casinos are in the poorest neighborhoods. Why is it 183 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: that all these stores are designed to profit off of 184 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: people that don't have money. It's because when you don't 185 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: have money, man, it is easy to say, hey, let 186 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: me give you a dopamine hit, buy this nice pair 187 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: of shoes, buy this Gucci purse, buy this whatever thing 188 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: to the people that can at least afford it, because 189 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: it gives you that emotional rush, that oh, that spending therapy. 190 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: But that's the same thing that's keeping you broke. You 191 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: look rich, you feel better for the moment and then 192 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: you have to pay it back plus interest. And in 193 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: the beginning of this podcast has said our system is 194 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: designed to profit off of people that don't understand this. Well, 195 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: the reality is our system is designed to profit off 196 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: of keeping you poor. And it's going to sound harsh, 197 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: but the reality is banks profit when you are in debt. 198 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: The more debt you are in, the more money they make. 199 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: Corporations profit when you spend money, the more you spend, 200 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: the more they make. The government profits when you are 201 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: financially uneducated, because how you're going to pay the highest 202 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: taxes and you're going to be stuck relying on the government, 203 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: when in reality, when you become financially educated, you can 204 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: pay less money and taxes legally and not need those 205 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: same services per se from the government. That's why the 206 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: financial education is so important. But the only way you 207 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: can get there is if you can separate the emotional 208 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: side from the logic side. And it starts with that mindset. 209 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: Money is a tool. 210 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: Money is a tool. Yeah, and then it's number three, 211 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: money is abundant. This one is a tough one, but 212 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: it is one of the most powerful tools to become 213 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: financially successful. Let's say now, you make fifty thousand dollars 214 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: a year and you start to watch some financial education 215 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: content on YouTube and you're like, oh wow, I like 216 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: this idea to invest my money. And you've become extremely 217 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: aggressive and you find a way to live off of 218 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars and invest ten thousand dollars a year. Well, 219 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: what happens to a lot of people in this situation 220 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: is you say, you know what, Joss Breath, I want 221 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: to do more of this. I want to be more 222 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: of an investor because I can see that light at 223 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel. I'm going to live now 224 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: instead of off of forty thousand dollars a year, I'm 225 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: going to live off of thirty eight thousand dollars a 226 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: year and put aside twelve thousand. Then maybe I live 227 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: off of thirty seven thousand and I'm gonna invest thirteen thousand. 228 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: This is a scarcity mindset way of thinking, because you 229 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: think that there's a limited pie and you can just 230 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: squeeze more pennies out of the pie. I mean, everybody 231 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: on the internet talks about why you need to stop 232 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: digging straw stuff bucks so you can have five dollars 233 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: more to invest. Well, let's flip that just a little bit. 234 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: You make fifty thousand dollars a year, you're saving and 235 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: investing ten thousand. But what if now you work to 236 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: earn five hundred thousand dollars a year, and if you 237 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: were going to save and invest that same percentage of 238 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: your income. I means now you can save and invest 239 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars a year. Now, the first time 240 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: you hear that, your response is probably going to be just. 241 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: But if you are out of your mind, my boss 242 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: is not going to ten x my income. How am 243 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: I supposed to go from fifty grand to five hundred 244 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year? Are you bad? Word? Well, I 245 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: want you to take a step back. What do we 246 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: just say? I will become wealthy? Money is a tool. 247 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: Money is abundant. There's a lot of money in the world, 248 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: a lot of money. There's some people that make whatever 249 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: you make in a month. There are people that make 250 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: whatever you make in a week, there are people that 251 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: make whatever you make in a day, and there's probably 252 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: people that make whatever you're making in an hour. If 253 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: you start to ref frame the way you look at 254 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: money now you can start doing different things. Maybe you 255 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: start watching more YouTube videos on how do you earn 256 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: more money? Maybe you start to read books about it. 257 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: And maybe you don't get to five hundred thousand dollars 258 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: a year, but maybe you get eighty percent of the 259 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 1: way there, fifty percent of the way there, it's still 260 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: a lot further and you will never get there. Unlet's 261 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: you start thinking about money in terms of abundance. And finally, 262 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: it is my duty to become wealthy. In the Sick religion, 263 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: we have three main values. I'm not here to preach anything, 264 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: but there are three main fundamental tenets. Now I'm juppana 265 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: wan chakana gettny, which means remember God serve others before 266 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: you serve yourself and earn an honest living. It is, 267 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: in my belief, your duty to become financially successful so 268 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: you can take better care of yourself, better take care 269 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: of your family, and take better care of your community. 270 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: And once you can understand these things and change the 271 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: way you think. It's not easy, but if you can 272 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: work on that, listen to your podcast, listen to the 273 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: other stuff out there. Now you can move on to 274 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: step number two, which is learn the rules of money. 275 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: And again, I know we'll getting too the theoretical stuff. 276 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: Right after this, we'll talk about the practical side of 277 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: what do you actually do with their money. But you 278 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: have to learn the rules of money because one of 279 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: the things that I learned is that wealthy people understand 280 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: that money is a game, and every single person is 281 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: playing this money game. But the way that wealthy people 282 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: are playing the money games are very different than everybody else. 283 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: The average person thinks about money and how you attract 284 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: that money is I have to go to work and 285 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: have to earn this money. I have to work hard 286 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: to get this money. Now, you do have to work hard, 287 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: there's no way around that. But the way that wealthy 288 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: people and financially savvy people think about money is I'm 289 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: going to work hard, not to make the money, but 290 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: own an asset, and this asset is going to make 291 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: me more money. I'm going to work to own the 292 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: things that will keep paying me even after I stop working. 293 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: And that is a completely different way of thinking, because 294 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: the average person is thinking, if I can make a 295 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: little bit more money, I'm gonna drive a better car. 296 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: If I can make a little bit more money, I'm 297 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: gonna buy a better house. If I could get a bonus. 298 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on a vacation. If I could get 299 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: a nice raise, I'm gonna buy my wife a nice purse. 300 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: We think in terms of spending. Wealthy people think in 301 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: terms of investments. And there's three rules of money that 302 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: I learned that you have to understand. Number one is 303 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: that money flows to the investor. When I go to 304 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: Chipotle and I buy a bowl of extra guac, who 305 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: am I benefiting? Am I really supporting the employees? Yes, 306 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: in a way, because I will be paying their salary, 307 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: But the real profits are going to the owners of Chipotle. 308 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: It's going to the investors of Chipotle. Money. Rule Number 309 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: two is inflation benefits the investor. What does that mean. 310 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: Over the last five years, we've seen the prices of 311 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: things rise. This is because of inflation. Inflation didn't just 312 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: start after the pandemic. Has been happening for a long, long, 313 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: long time. And so you might have heard your grandparents 314 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: or parents say, when I was young, I used to 315 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: go to the movie theater for a nickel, a dollar, 316 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: whatever it might be. Now it's twenty five dollars to 317 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: go to a movie. This is inflation. So now when 318 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: you spend those more dollars at Chipotle. Who's getting those 319 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: more dollars. It's the owners of Chipotle, the investors. And 320 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: then finally is our system is designed to benefit the investor. 321 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: As a license attorney, who's at your attorney? I can 322 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: tell you that when you earn your money as an investor, 323 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: you are going to pay a lower tax rate than 324 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: when you earn your money as an employee. That's why 325 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: it is so important to understand the rules of money, 326 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: because our entire system is designed to make the financially 327 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: savvy wealthier while everybody else is paying the price. I'll 328 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: give you one more example. When I was in law school, 329 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: I learned about this concept called fiduciary duty. And what 330 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: I didn't understand, and what I learned is that the 331 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: CEO of a company, your boss, has a fiduciary duty 332 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: to make one person rich. Do you know who that is. 333 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: It's not the employees at the company, It's not the 334 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: customers at the company. It is the owners of the company, 335 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: the investors in the company. The CEO has to make 336 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: decisions to make the investors rich. And we're never taught 337 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: to become an investor. We're taught to become an employee. Now, 338 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: it's not bad to work a job. That's not what 339 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: I'm saying. In fact, that's probably the best thing for 340 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: most people. What I'm saying is you have to understand 341 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: that when you go to work, you now have to 342 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: take some of that money and become an investor. Now, 343 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: when you do that, now you can start to get 344 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,719 Speaker 1: into the practical steps of what you do with your money. Yeah, 345 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: so we talked about Now step number one is you 346 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: have to build the mindset. Now you have to learn 347 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: the rules of money. Now we get into the practical side, 348 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: which is step number three. Get out of the financial 349 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: danger zone. And what I'm mean by that is the 350 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: very first thing you have to do is save two 351 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: thousand dollars as fast as possible. 352 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 2: Just two thousand. 353 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 1: Just start with two thousand as a start, and then 354 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: pay off your credit card debt. Half of America today 355 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: does not have one thousand dollars but aside to protect 356 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: them against emergency. So if your car breaks down, your 357 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: kid gets sick, your window breaks, the average person has 358 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: to go into debt to pay for that expense. You 359 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: have zero breathing room. If you want to go on vacation, 360 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: you want to do anything. You have to go into 361 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: debt to do that, So we need to stop that. 362 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: I call this the financial danger zone. You need to 363 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: save two thousand dollars as fast as possible, and the 364 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: way you can do that is by spending less or 365 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: working to earn more, and you have to make some 366 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: extreme sacrifice if you don't have that. 367 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 2: Do you know what people are wasting the most amount 368 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 2: of money on right now in the United States? Is 369 00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 2: there any research on that? 370 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: Oh? Man, Well, if you are somebody who does not 371 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: have two thousand dollars saved up, there's a lot of 372 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: things you got to cut out. And this is going 373 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: to sound mean, but I don't say what I say 374 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: to make friends, to say what I say to help 375 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: people be better with money. You should not be eating 376 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: at a restaurant. You should not be going on vacations. 377 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: You should not be driving around in a fancy car. 378 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: You shouldn't be living in a big, fancy house right now. 379 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: You got to make some extreme sacrifices if you don't 380 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: have two thousand dollars. So much so that what I 381 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: tell people is you should not have a Netflix subscription, 382 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: not because it's going to save you fifteen dollars a month. 383 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: But because the average American is watching somewhere between two 384 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: to three hours of Netflix a day, if you don't 385 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: have two thousand dollars, how can you feel comfortable sitting 386 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: there at nighttime watching whatever the heck is on Netflix. 387 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: You have to have a little bit of urgency that, 388 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: oh my god, I got to take care of my family. 389 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: So whatever you can cut back on, do it. And 390 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: then once you get that two thousand dollars, pay off 391 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: your high interest credit card debts. Because when you are 392 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: in that situation where you have those high interest debts, 393 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: you are trying to climb a mountain with one thousand 394 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: pounds of chain strapped to your back. You're never gonna 395 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: get to the next step because anytime you get some money, 396 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: you got to pay it back off. In fact, let 397 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: me give you an example. Jay, If I gave you 398 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: six thousand, five hundred dollars today and you invested that 399 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: money today, you never touch that money again, you never 400 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: invested another penny again, and you could get a let's 401 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: say twenty percent return a year on that money. In 402 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: forty forty five years, you're going to retire very wealthy. 403 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: You're not gonna have a million dollars, five million dollars, 404 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: ten million dollars, fifty million dollars, You're gonna have closer 405 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: to sixty million dollars off of that one investment. Of 406 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: the six four hundred and six thousand, five hundred dollars 407 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: that I give you today. Are you going to say, 408 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: all right, sign me up, j just but you give 409 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: me that money and where do I invest it? Well, 410 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: here's the reality. Do you know who's getting those returns? 411 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: Amx Visa, MasterCard, Discover and do you know who's paying it? 412 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:12,959 Speaker 2: You? 413 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: If you have credit card debt, and so instead of 414 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: you having that wealth, you are the one that's paying 415 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: for their private jets. You are the one that's paying 416 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: for their big buildings. You are the one that's paying 417 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: for their luxuries. Which is why I get so serious 418 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: about this that if you want to become wealthy, you 419 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: have to you have to you have to get out 420 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: of this financial danger zone. Once you get there, now 421 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: we can get to the next step, step number four. 422 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: This is where things out get fun because you finally 423 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: have a little bit of a foundation. Now you can 424 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: create a system for your money. The difference between wealthy 425 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: people and everybody else is wealthy people know what they're 426 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: going to do with their money before they earn it. 427 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: Everybody else gets the money, and then they wonder, well 428 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: what should I do? How should I spend this money? 429 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: And this is where it is very helpful to have 430 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: a system for your money. One that I teach is 431 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: a seventy five to fifteen to ten plan, which says, 432 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: for every dollar that you earn from here on out, 433 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: seventy five cents is the maximum that you can spend, 434 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: fifteen cents is the minimum that you invest, ten cents 435 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: is the minimum that you save. This way, whether you're 436 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: earning thirty thousand dollars a year, three hundred thousand dollars 437 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: a year, or three million dollars a year, you're always 438 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: going to have a rule of how much you can save, invest, 439 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: and spend. Break that down for us again, seventy five 440 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: fifteen ten. So the way I'd like you to do 441 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: this is I want you to open three bank accounts, 442 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: and you're going to make money. Money gets deposited into 443 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: one bank account, create an automatic withdrawal and deposit. That 444 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: money gets pulled out of one bank account, and fifteen 445 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: percent goes into your bank account holding your investment money. 446 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: Ten percent goes into your bank account holding your savings money. 447 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: The reason why you want to have three different bank 448 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: accounts is because if you have one hundred dollars in 449 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: one bank account and you think this is my investing 450 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: money and my saving money. You go into the store 451 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: and you see this nice sweater on sale, it's ninety dollars. 452 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: I have one hundred dollars in a bank account. Well, 453 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: I should be able to afford it, right, Well, you 454 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: forget that some of that money is supposed to be 455 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: saved and invested, and then you pay taxes on that sweater, 456 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: and now you spend ninety eight ninety nine dollars on 457 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: a sweater and oops, I just spent my savings and 458 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: my investment money, which is why you need the three 459 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: different bank accounts. Your savings are not going to make 460 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: you wealthy. This is a big lie that we've been sold. 461 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: Your savings are there to protect you, Your investments are 462 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: there to make you wealthy, and that spending money is 463 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: what you pay for your house, your groceries, or vocations 464 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: and everything else. Now we move on to the next 465 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: step is how do you spend your money smartly? And 466 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: this is where things start to get a little bit painful. 467 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: But this is where you can really accelerate your wealth. 468 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: You know how to spend your money now, you have 469 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: a good system. Now when it comes to actually accelerating 470 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: your wealth, you got to spend your money smartly. And 471 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: what I mean by that is no more financing things. 472 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: I don't put money in your and then follow the 473 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: rule of five when it comes to luxuries. So when 474 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: it comes to no more financing things, it's very normal. 475 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: You want to buy the new iPhone? Why would you 476 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: pay one thy twelve hundred dollars put it in fifty 477 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: dollars a month, zero percent APR. It's free money. Why 478 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't you take it? Well, let me ask you a question. 479 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: If I walked into the bank today and I said, 480 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: give me a thousand dollars loan at zero percent APR, 481 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: what are they going to say? Heck, no, there's the door. 482 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: Why is it that somebody is willing to offer me 483 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: zero percent APR? Not just somebody a very profitable corporation 484 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: because they know how to make money off of you 485 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: with a zero percent APR. Why because at zero percent 486 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: APR number one is going to make it much easier 487 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: for you to buy the new iPhone more often. Number two, 488 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: you don't feel the pain of one thousand dollars leaving 489 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: your bank account. It's just fifty dollars a month. Number three, 490 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: when you buy the new phone, well, now they can 491 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: sell you the new airport, the new charger, the new 492 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: case for it. And then number four, they know that 493 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people are not going to pay it 494 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: off in time, and now they're gonna slap on that 495 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: fifteen twenty twenty five percent interest, which then makes them 496 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: even wealthier. Which is why you should not be financing things, 497 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: even at zero percent EPR. If it doesn't put money 498 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: in your pocket, do not finance it. The only exception 499 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: is the house that you live in. And then by 500 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: rule of five, if you can't buy five of them, 501 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: you can't afford one of them, especially for luxuries. 502 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 2: That's good rule. 503 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: So you want to buy a nice one thousand dollars watch, 504 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: you better have five thousand dollars so of willing of 505 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: extra money. Now we can get into the next step, 506 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: which is how do you earn more money? This step 507 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: number six, because now we know how to create a 508 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: system with your money. You know that I'm gonna do 509 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: seventy five to fifteen ten. I know how to spend 510 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: my money. Now let me earn more money. And this 511 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: is the part that many people get flipped because they 512 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: assumed I just seed that to make some more money. Well, 513 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: if you make more money, well at knowing what to 514 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: do with that money, you make more money. Then you 515 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 1: make other people rich with it because you just go 516 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: and spend it. This is where now it is important 517 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: for you to figure out how can you earn more money. 518 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: Maybe you ask for a raise at your job, maybe 519 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: you get a second job, maybe you create your own business, 520 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: maybe you learn how to utilize artificial intelligence. You find 521 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: ways to earn more money. But you keep following that 522 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: system the seventy five fifteen ten, And that's the key 523 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: is as you earn more money, you keep investing more 524 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: money because that's what's going to make you wealthy. And 525 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: then finally at the top, step number seven is you 526 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: have to protect your assets. And there's two parts to this. 527 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: Number one is you got to understand the legal side. 528 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: That means understanding taxes, because taxes can be one of 529 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: the biggest expenses that you have to pay. You have 530 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: to understand how do you pass this wealth down. How 531 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: do you put shields around you? Because when people realize 532 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: you have money, they're going to want some of it 533 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: for themselves. And this also means how do you give back, 534 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 1: how do you help others? How are you going to 535 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: leave a legacy for yourself and your family. That's now 536 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: wealth planning. And so we talked about not kind of 537 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,479 Speaker 1: the whole progression of these seven steps, but it starts 538 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: with that mental side of understanding the mindset. Then you 539 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: got to understand the framework of the rules of money. 540 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: Then we start with the basics of saving the two 541 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: thousand pain off the credit card. That then you build 542 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: a system for your money from there. Once you have 543 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: the system, you have to know how to spend your 544 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: money the right way. Then you have to learn how 545 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: to earn more money the right way. Then you learn 546 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: how to manage your wealth, grow your wealth, and pass 547 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: on your wealth. 548 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a really brilliant system. I mean, that's 549 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 2: a master class truly. 550 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: You call it the Climb to Wealth. 551 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's brilliant. It's so great, And I love that 552 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 2: it goes from I love that you start with the 553 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: mindset and then switch into the practicals of money because 554 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 2: if you took all the practical stuff and people didn't 555 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: have the mindset. You'll make mistakes and you'll actually put 556 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 2: your money in the wrong places. And if you only 557 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 2: have the philosophy and the mindset and don't have the practicals, 558 00:27:53,960 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: well then it's just a nice idea. The big question 559 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 2: that comes to my mind right now is for anyone 560 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 2: who's like, just free, I'm making that fifty thousand dollars. 561 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 2: I'm making that thirty thousand dollars. I want to make 562 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 2: more money right now. What is the fastest, most effective, 563 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 2: realistic way I can make more money today so that 564 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: I have more of this seventy five fifteen ten split 565 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 2: to ultimately invest more. What do you recommend I do 566 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 2: in this day and age right now? 567 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: Can I recommend what you shouldn't do too? Yeah, so 568 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: I talk about investing around that is My focus is 569 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: the financial side of what do you do with that money? 570 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: And so I was actually just doing a conversation with 571 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: somebody about this. Where a lot of people who end 572 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: up in a tough financial situation, whatever it might be. 573 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: Maybe you have debts, you have expenses, you have your 574 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: in situation where money is tight, you go onto the internet, 575 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: and now you start to hear about this topic called 576 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: passive income, and now you think, wow, if I could 577 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: just have some more money coming in passively, I could 578 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: pay my bills and no longer have to worry about money. 579 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: But that's not how it works. Investing and everything that 580 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking about when it comes to growing your wealth 581 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: is when you have extra money that you don't need 582 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: and you throw it into this investment. You throw it 583 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: into this asset that is going to then grow and 584 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: make you more money. It is not fast, but if 585 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: you do it right, it works and it can make 586 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: you wealthy. And that's how that works. Your question was 587 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: how can somebody start to earn more money fast? And 588 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: the first thing that you can do ask your boss 589 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: for a raise. But don't do it the way most 590 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: people do it, because what most people will say is, hey, boss, 591 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: working it for a long time, can I get an 592 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: extra five thousand dollars a year, ten thousand dollars a year, 593 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: whatever it might be. And well, what your boss is 594 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: probably going to say is no, because I'm going to 595 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: pay you to do the same thing. No. Instead, I 596 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: want you to think about it from their perspective. The 597 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: fastest way for you to make more money at your 598 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: job is to make your boss more money. And if 599 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: you can show them, hey, I'm going to make you 600 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: an extra twenty thousand dollars a year. You pay me 601 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: an extra ten thousand dollars a year. Now, they will 602 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: probably say yes because you are adding more value to them. 603 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: How can you do that. It's going to depend on 604 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: your position, But find a way to add more value 605 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: and go to them and say, hey, look, here's what 606 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to do. Here's how much more revenue I'm 607 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: going to drive, Here's how much more money I'm going 608 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: to make you. I just want a piece of what 609 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to make you. Some people are going to 610 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: say that and say wow, I like that idea. Others 611 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: are going to say screw that. I don't want to 612 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: make my boss Richard. Okay, then well you can try 613 00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: to do something for yourself. And today AI is probably 614 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: not probably it is the biggest opportunity that we have 615 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: at our fingertips. It is growing faster than the rate 616 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: of the Internet. It's growing faster than the adoption of blockchain. 617 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: And most people think that AI is how do I 618 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: go on to chat, GPT and search guacamole recipes. But 619 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: if you can understand AI, you can get ahead of 620 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: the curve and solve a problem for many businesses or 621 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: people with money. Help them understand it, help them use it, 622 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: and in exchange, you charge them money to do that. 623 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: And there's so many ways to do it. I mean, 624 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: this is going to get into how do you actually 625 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: make money? How do you build a business. But if 626 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: you can find a pain point. For example, dentists have 627 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: a pain point, which is that patients don't show up 628 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: for their services. Well, you can use AI to help 629 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: solve that pain point. What can you do if you 630 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: can show these dental offices, Hey, let me build you 631 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: inn AI tool that will automatically text your patients when 632 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: they have an appointment, and it will say if you 633 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: can't make it, click this button. If they can't make it, 634 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: and you click the button, the AI tool will then 635 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: work to find somebody else who's on the waiting list 636 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: to come in and fill that slot. Well, now, all 637 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you helped that dentist office fill more 638 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: the slots, have less vacancies and make more money. And 639 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: then you could take a one step further. After they're 640 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: done with the procedure, send out an automatic text message 641 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: saying did you like your service? How was it? If 642 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: you enjoyed it, give us a five star review on Google, 643 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: which is going to help drive more patients for the 644 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: dentist office. And so that's the thing is people assume, well, 645 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm just going to go teach AI. I'm going to 646 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: go help. It's too broad get specific. There are every 647 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: business in the world should be using AI to some way, 648 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: shape or form. Most people have no idea how it works. 649 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: If you have some time, study it, learn and if 650 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: you can figure out one pain point, go out and 651 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: solve it for one person. Let there'd be a testimony 652 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: for the second that there'd be a testimonial for the third, 653 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, you're in business. 654 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. I love the first piece of advice as well. 655 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 2: And I think there's three types of people that ask 656 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 2: for a raise. The first person just asks for a raise, 657 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 2: as you said, They're like, oh, can I get some 658 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 2: more money? And it's like, well, you're doing the same 659 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 2: exact thing, why would I pay you. The second type 660 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 2: of person shows you everything they've done in the past 661 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 2: and ask for a raise, and the person again goes, well, 662 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,479 Speaker 2: that's great, but you did that anyway. Yeah, And then 663 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 2: the third type of person goes, this is what I 664 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 2: want to do, which is what you're saying, which is like, hey, 665 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 2: here's I'm going to make you ten, twenty thousand percent 666 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 2: more whatever it may be in your position. And that 667 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 2: third type of person is the person who gets the 668 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 2: raise because you're now investing as an employer in what 669 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 2: you hope is something that's valuable to you if it's 670 00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 2: a win win. 671 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: If you work a job, you have to know how 672 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: you're making money for your company if you don't spend 673 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: it this weekend figuring that out. Because unless you understand 674 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: how you drive revenue for your business, you are just 675 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: a piece of space. And I say this as nice 676 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,720 Speaker 1: as possible because we're talking about AI. AI is getting smarter, 677 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: it is getting more advanced. I mean chat TBT did 678 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,280 Speaker 1: not exist five years ago. It is getting more advanced 679 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: every single day. And there's a lot of talk about 680 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: people being replaced by AI, which is true, but the 681 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: bigger threat to that is you being replaced by somebody 682 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: who knows how to use AI. And so if you 683 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: don't understand how you're driving revenue for your business, well, 684 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: there's a chance that there's a missing link between what 685 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,760 Speaker 1: you're doing as a job and what the business needs 686 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: from what you are there to do. And that's what 687 00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: you've got to figure out. 688 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,919 Speaker 2: And even with your second part of the answer, which 689 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 2: is like how do you learn to use AI for something? 690 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 2: It is people who start with problems like trying to 691 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 2: figure out a problem that you can help solve, that 692 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 2: is really where it is. I think often we sit 693 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 2: there and go, I want to come up with a 694 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 2: really cool idea. And in every cool idea was only 695 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 2: cool because it solved a good problem. If it didn't 696 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 2: solve a problem, it wasn't a cool idea. And so 697 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 2: if you are close to a problem, like sometimes people think, also, 698 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 2: I want to go do something that I enjoy and love, 699 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 2: and that's great and wonderful if it works out. But 700 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 2: it's like there's something that you know in your career 701 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 2: path because you're close to it. I have a friend, 702 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 2: Funnily enough, you're talking about dentistry. I have a friend 703 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 2: who's a dentist. He just understands the dental industry better 704 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 2: because he's been so close to it for so many years. 705 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,879 Speaker 2: It's not his passion it's not what he loves, it's 706 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 2: not what he enjoys, but he's been able to build 707 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 2: solutions for dental practices that allows him to make more 708 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 2: money than even being a dentist. And again it comes 709 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 2: back down to what you just said, which is start 710 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 2: where you are, Start where you understand problems. You don't 711 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 2: have to go and learn some new industry and figure 712 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 2: something out, because I think that can feel quite overwhelming 713 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 2: sometimes to think, oh God, I don't know anything about 714 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 2: what's happening in the world. 715 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: You got to know your skill set as well. But 716 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 1: I think you nailed it on the head with that 717 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: problem side, because I look as you were talking, I 718 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: was kind of smiling because I was looking back at 719 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: my life and I was like, everything that I've kind 720 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: of done sort of successfully was because there was some 721 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: problem that I was trying to solve. My first kind 722 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: of reels and I don't want to say first, but 723 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: one of my earlier more successful businesses was an e 724 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: commerce company. It was a water resistance sock. And this 725 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: is I mean, it goes so beyond what we're talking about. 726 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: But I came up with this idea because I was 727 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: in school. I was in college taking a public speaking 728 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: class and they gave us an assignment to pitch a 729 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: product to the class, kind of like Shark Tank or 730 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: dragons Den, and I procrastinated. I put it off, and 731 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: one day it was raining for class and I ran 732 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: to class. I stepped in a puddle. I got to 733 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: class and teacher's like, it's your day to present, and 734 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: I said present. What She's like the product? And I said, 735 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 1: oh crap, I'm standing in front of class. My heart 736 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: is beating, my socks are wet. And I started talking 737 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: about water resistance socks that if you're an athlete, because 738 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,919 Speaker 1: I used put football in high school, American football. Oh man, 739 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: when it rains, your feet feels soaked. And I started 740 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: talking about water resistance socks and how athletes would love it. 741 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,359 Speaker 1: And I sat down and I was like, that's kind 742 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 1: of a cool idea. How can I do that? So 743 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: I created a water resistance sock and that was my 744 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: first kind of internet business. And then I think about 745 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: what I'm doing now. So I run a company called 746 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: Briefs Media. Our flagship product is called market Briefs, which 747 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 1: is a free daily newsletter. And that started because during COVID, 748 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: the economy flipped upside down, like in a matter of 749 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: a day. And so I went from making YouTube videos 750 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: like three times a week to seven days a week. 751 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: And there's there's so much happening in the that I 752 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: asked my team. I said, hey, can you send me 753 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 1: a daily briefing, Oh, what's happening in the markets and 754 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 1: make it stupid simple so I can understand because I 755 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 1: don't like complex jargon. And so my team started sending 756 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: this to me, and I was like, huh, I wonder 757 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 1: if other people would like this. So I would occasionally 758 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: mention this on my YouTube channel that hey, if you 759 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 1: want to get a daily report of what's happening in 760 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: the markets, you can just join this newsletter. At the time, 761 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: it was called the Minority Mindset Newsletter. Super original, right, 762 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: and that started picking up attention. People started to like it, 763 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 1: and I was like, huh, we can actually do something 764 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: with this. We were not making any money, but I 765 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: was like, I see the value because I like reading 766 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: this newsletter and I don't like the complex jargon of 767 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: all the traditional financial news. I just want to know 768 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 1: what's happening in the stock market and the housing market 769 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,439 Speaker 1: and cryptoical I just break it down into a quick 770 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: five minute read, and that's when we rebranded it into 771 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: market Briefs, and I said, hmm, let's ignore all this 772 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 1: other stuff that we were doing. Let's put more energy 773 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,280 Speaker 1: and focus into market Briefs. And that's what then allowed 774 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: that to take off, which then was the flagship for 775 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: many other products that we have now in our company. 776 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: But it started with that. 777 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 2: Pain that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, it's always a pain point. 778 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 2: I just whether it's something like that, like a newsletter, 779 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 2: whether it's the biggest business in the world today, like, 780 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 2: it all started from a pain point. Yeah, And I 781 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,399 Speaker 2: think if we spent more time with pain points, we'd 782 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 2: come up with better ideas rather than trying to come 783 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 2: up with solutions and ideas to problems that either don't 784 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 2: exist or that we're imagining. I know a lot of 785 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 2: people like this, probably even on my team, people that 786 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 2: I know friends and family who are like they were 787 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 2: never exposed to investing then, even I wasn't. I had 788 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 2: no idea growing up what investing were doing me. 789 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: Both. 790 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I had no clue. No one ever explained it 791 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 2: to me. I didn't know anyone who invested. Really, I 792 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 2: don't think maybe I knew one person who had one 793 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,439 Speaker 2: other property than the one they owned. I didn't grow 794 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,919 Speaker 2: up in that circle. If someone's out there going, Okay, 795 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 2: I want to start investing, what's the smallest amount I 796 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 2: need to start investing. What's the number where do they stop? 797 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: Now? One dollar? You can start investing with any amount 798 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,359 Speaker 1: of money. And the whole idea of investing is you 799 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: take this extra money and you're going to put it 800 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: into this thing. You're going to buy something with it 801 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: with the goal of making money off of this thing, 802 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: as opposed to just buying a watch or a pair 803 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: of shoes. But the part that I think a lot 804 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: of people don't understand, especially if we don't grow up 805 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: learning about investing like we didn't, is there's more than 806 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: one way to invest. Because ten years ago, what was investing, 807 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: or what did people think investing was how do I 808 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: find the next Amazon? How do I find the next Apple? 809 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: Today a lot of people think investing is how do 810 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: I find the next meme coin? How do I find 811 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: a next cryptocurrency before it pops off? We start to 812 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: think of investing in terms of gambling, especially because now 813 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: there's so much of it around us. I mean, there's 814 00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: sports bedding, there's the there's foreign exchange market, there's poly markets. 815 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: I mean, people are betting on what the better reserve 816 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 1: bank is going to do next. They're betting on these 817 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: wild decisions off of Remember that one there was a 818 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: big couple that got caught cheating at the Coldplay concert 819 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: at was there was a betting market around are they 820 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 1: going to file a divorce or not. So people are 821 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 1: quote unquote investing their money on that type of thing. 822 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 1: So people are now making businesses out of all sorts 823 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: of prediction markets. And so we start to assume, without 824 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: any financial education, that investing is the same thing. We're 825 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,720 Speaker 1: just going to predict what's going to happen in something tomorrow. 826 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: But that's really not what investing is. Investing is something 827 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 1: that you want to buy and own for the long 828 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: term that you believe is going to either go up 829 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 1: in value and maybe pay you with some sort of 830 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 1: interest along the way. Maybe it's going to deposit money 831 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: every month, Maybe it's going to deposit money every three months. 832 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: Maybe it's going to deposit money every year into your 833 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: bank account for not doing anything. That's what investing is. 834 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: So now how do you go about doing it? And 835 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: there are three layers that you need to understand. Number 836 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 1: one is the most hands off, and that is I'm 837 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 1: going to give my money to you, a financial advisor, 838 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: and you are going to manage my money for me. 839 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: And now is completely hands off. And so if you 840 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: just run some basic numbers, if I invest one thousand 841 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: dollars a month for thirty years and my financial advisor 842 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: can beat the markets they do eleven percent a year, 843 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to end up with one point eight million. 844 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: But I got to pay a fee. I got to 845 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: pay a price. You might have to pay one and 846 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 1: a half percent fees, so you might end up paying 847 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 1: five or six hundred thousand dollars in fees, so that 848 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: one point eight million is what you're getting after the fees. 849 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,720 Speaker 1: Option number two, if you want to be a little 850 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: bit more involved, but not fully involved, is what I 851 00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 1: call being a passive investor. And passive investing is all 852 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 1: about finding a basket of stocks and now you just 853 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: keep consistently investing your money in it. So, for example, 854 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: you can invest in the United States economy in the 855 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: broad economy, and one of the most common and popular 856 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: ways to do that is to invest in something called 857 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: the s and P five hundred. That's a group of 858 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: the five hundred largest companies in the stock market. You 859 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 1: don't have to go out and find Amazon and Tesla 860 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: and all these companies. You just invest in this fund 861 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: and you don't have to touch it. And the nice 862 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: thing about it is if you invest your money to 863 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: this fund, and let's just say Amazon goes bankrupt, you 864 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 1: don't have to do anything. The fund is going to 865 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: kick Amazon out as they get smaller, and they're going 866 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: to replace them with another company, so it's completely passive 867 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 1: for you. Historically this has averaged about ten percent growth 868 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: a year, a little bit more than that WOU right 869 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 1: around ten percent. Historically, despite the recessions, despite market crashes, 870 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 1: because we know that they happen, it is averaged about 871 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: ten percent a year. So if you invest one thousand 872 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: dollars a month for thirty years, that would be about 873 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 1: one point nine million dollars. Then you have layer three, 874 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: the most involved. This is called being an active investor. 875 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: And being an active investor is not trading, it's not flipping. 876 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 1: It's I want to own good investments that I believe in, 877 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 1: that I've researched and I put the work into and 878 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: I want to own them for the long term. So 879 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,280 Speaker 1: this might be investing in individual companies, individual stocks. Maybe 880 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: now I want to invest in Amazon, Maybe now I 881 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: want to invest in McDonald's or whatever. Maybe it's investing 882 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 1: in individual real estate properties. And the goal with this 883 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 1: is you're taking on more risk for more potential return. 884 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,919 Speaker 1: So we talked about how if you just investor money 885 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,360 Speaker 1: into the broad economy, you're averaging about ten percent a 886 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 1: year as an active investor. You know, we're not talking 887 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: about two hundred percent returns or one hundred percent or 888 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,719 Speaker 1: even fifty percent returns that people like to talk about 889 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,960 Speaker 1: on the internet, because that's not sustainable, it's a lie, 890 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: it's a scam, and there's growing you over, we're talking 891 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 1: about a slight edge. Let's just say thirteen percent a year. 892 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: If you can do that thirteen percent a year, one 893 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month for thirty years, well now you're 894 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: going to have about three and a half million dollars. 895 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: So we're talking about one point six million dollars more 896 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 1: than if you passively invested. You're taking on more risk, 897 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 1: it's more work and more research, but there's more potential upside, 898 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 1: and so you have to know kind of where along 899 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: this curve you want to be, because active investing is 900 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 1: not for everybody. This is what our firm focuses on. 901 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 1: Is that research for active investors, but it's more risk 902 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: for more potential upside. 903 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it almost feels like it's better to start 904 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 2: and move layer by layer by layer rather than dive 905 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 2: straight in. 906 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: It often is just to start with what's most successible 907 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: to you, because what is most accessible to most people 908 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: is something like a four oh one K or IRA 909 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,880 Speaker 1: and high person. Don't use a four O one k 910 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,440 Speaker 1: because it's not right for me. But personal finance is personal, Okay, 911 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,319 Speaker 1: what's right for you, it's not going to be right 912 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 1: for me. Start with whatever you have access to, and 913 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: then take the next step, and then take the next step, 914 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:13,759 Speaker 1: and then you'll start to realize what are all the 915 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 1: options out there? Because it can be intimidating because you say, 916 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: oh my god, should I invest in stocks or real 917 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 1: estate or crypto? Should I invest individual companies or ETFs 918 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,840 Speaker 1: or mutual funds? Oh my god? Should I be investing 919 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 1: in apartments or think of family houses? Should I be 920 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 1: using Take a breath, It's okay. Just start the reason 921 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,799 Speaker 1: why people don't see the success that they want out 922 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,320 Speaker 1: of their investments isn't generally because they made the wrong decision. 923 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 1: It's because they never made a decision. It's because they 924 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 1: never started. But once you can get started, you can 925 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 1: make that adjustment. I talk I relate investing to working 926 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: out all the time because I see the same thing 927 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 1: in the gym people that are getting started with working out. 928 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,359 Speaker 1: They'll say, just what should I do? Should I go 929 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 1: do these high intensity workhoh? Should do this these low 930 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: intensity workout? Should I do carnivore diet? You try to 931 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 1: do a vegan diet? Should I do? 932 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 2: You know? 933 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 1: Look, just get on a treadmill and put down the 934 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: donuts right, start and then take the next step, and 935 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 1: then the next step and just start and then you'll 936 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 1: see what works better for you. 937 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you track the stock market? Break that 938 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,319 Speaker 2: down for me? For someone who doesn't know where to 939 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 2: stock kind of like what we're saying right now, where 940 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 2: you know someone's like, oh, I'm thinking of doing this, 941 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 2: I'm thinking of doing this. They don't understand. How would 942 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 2: you break it down for yeah? 943 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: So, well, the stock market is a place where anybody 944 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: can go out and buy a piece of ownership in 945 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,840 Speaker 1: a company. Not every company. The company has to be 946 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: what's called publicly traded. So, for example, Briefs Media, my company, 947 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:44,360 Speaker 1: it's private, meaning you can't invest in my company. But 948 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 1: if a company is publicly traded, for example McDonald's, you 949 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: can buy a piece of that company. It's called the share, 950 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 1: and if you buy one share of McDonald's, you become 951 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: one of the owners of that company. So when I 952 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 1: go to Nike and I buy a pair of shoes, 953 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,319 Speaker 1: I am a consumer at Nike. When I own one 954 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 1: share of the Nike stock, I've become one of the 955 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: owners of Nike. As the owner of Nike, I profit 956 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:14,879 Speaker 1: when you buy the Nike shoes. As a consumer of Nike, 957 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,799 Speaker 1: I am making the investors richer. But I look cool 958 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: because I got the Nike, I got the Jordans on. 959 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 1: And so the whole idea behind the stock market is 960 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: you are buying shares of these companies that are publicly traded. Now, 961 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,400 Speaker 1: the price of a stock is going to depend on 962 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 1: whatever the stock is, And what causes the price of 963 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 1: a stock to go up and down is not how 964 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 1: much money the company's making. It's supply and demand. And 965 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 1: what I mean by that is the price of any 966 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 1: asset real estate, stocks, crypto, it ultimately depends on how 967 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 1: many buyers and sellers there are of that asset. So 968 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,759 Speaker 1: if more people want to buy the McDonald's stock, then 969 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,399 Speaker 1: there are sellers of the McDonald stock, that stock price 970 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,359 Speaker 1: will go up. If people are selling the stock more 971 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 1: than there are buyers, the price of that stock goes down, 972 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,839 Speaker 1: which then goes to the next question, what causes it 973 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 1: to go up or down? Why do people buy versus 974 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 1: why do people sell? And there are a whole list 975 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 1: of reasons, but you can look at the obvious. If 976 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 1: McDonald's starts to produce bad Hamburgers, the owners might say, oh, 977 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 1: I don't know about this. Well, maybe not the Hamburgers, 978 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,759 Speaker 1: because McDonald's is actually in the real estate business. But 979 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: if McDonald's starts to have some problems, the owners might say, 980 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 1: maybe I should sell. If McDonald starts to have smaller profits, 981 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: now the investors might get concerned. If they start to 982 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 1: have bigger profits than expected, more people might want to buy, 983 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: which could push the stock price up. So you have 984 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:46,240 Speaker 1: to understand the psychology of the buyers and sellers. Because 985 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:52,280 Speaker 1: there's two parts to successful investing. One is the financial side, 986 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 1: but it's also the emotional side, and in today's market, 987 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:02,240 Speaker 1: our markets are more emotional than ever before. Business Insider 988 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 1: actually did her study on this recently, where they I mean, 989 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,120 Speaker 1: it's not really that hard to find, but they said 990 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,040 Speaker 1: that our stock market is more volatile than previous decades, 991 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 1: which for the average person is not good because they say, 992 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm scared, but market, the markets are 993 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 1: going to go down, I'm going to lose money. But 994 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:25,280 Speaker 1: for the financially savvy, that creates more opportunity than ever. 995 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:29,240 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, for example, we saw three stock 996 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 1: market crashes. When we saw the first announcement of tariffs, 997 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:37,240 Speaker 1: markets crashed, Then tariffs are paused, markets hit new record highs. 998 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,400 Speaker 1: Then we had the second announcement of tariffs, markets crashed. 999 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 1: Once those were paused, markets rose again. Then we had 1000 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 1: Liberation Day, the third announcement of tariffs. Markets crashed at 1001 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,760 Speaker 1: the fastest rate since the pandemic. Then there were paused 1002 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,760 Speaker 1: and markets broke new record highs. See for the average person, 1003 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,440 Speaker 1: that was a nightmare, But for the financially savvy, all 1004 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 1: of those downturns created a great buying opportunity. The thing 1005 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 1: that I like to tell people is you're going to 1006 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:08,719 Speaker 1: see ups and downs. But when you have those crazy times, 1007 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: I want you to remember one thing. I want you 1008 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:16,800 Speaker 1: to remember poop p oh oh p Why Because panic 1009 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 1: leads to over selling, leads to opportunity, leads to profit. 1010 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,239 Speaker 1: And that's where you know, we've been talking a little 1011 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 1: bit about the education side of investing, but that psychology 1012 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:33,960 Speaker 1: is just as important because if you're the one that's panicking, well, 1013 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,440 Speaker 1: you're making somebody else wealthier. Yeah, and you have to 1014 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,319 Speaker 1: understand what it is that you're investing in and know 1015 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 1: how that fits in with your investing strategy. That way 1016 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,320 Speaker 1: you can actually make money instead of being the person 1017 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 1: that's making somebody else money. 1018 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna I was going to say that. 1019 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 2: One mindset that sticks very close to what you're saying, 1020 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,320 Speaker 2: which may have to go earlier on in your system, 1021 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 2: is this idea of I'm trying to get the language right. 1022 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 2: You name it better because it's your system. But this 1023 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 2: idea of just don't chase fast money, because I think 1024 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 2: the reason why we get scared when the markets crash 1025 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,799 Speaker 2: when we're not financially savvy, is because we thought, oh god, 1026 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,399 Speaker 2: I lost all my money. Let me take it out right, 1027 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 2: or let me avoid putting more money in because things 1028 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,880 Speaker 2: are not looking safe. And this idea of this mindset 1029 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,919 Speaker 2: that we have around I just want to make money quick, 1030 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 2: you know, I just want to put something in next 1031 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,359 Speaker 2: year it's huge, and then I want to pull out 1032 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 2: and it's like, well, that's like very very rare for 1033 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 2: people to pull off. And I think that speedy money 1034 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 2: is what stops us from making good decisions because by 1035 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 2: the time you actually put money in, you're like, oh, 1036 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,399 Speaker 2: they I should have done it last year, right, because 1037 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 2: you're just watching that quick win. Does that make sense? Yeah? 1038 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,560 Speaker 1: That is Actually it goes back into what you were 1039 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 1: saying a little bit ago when you said, what about 1040 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 1: that person was living paycheck to paycheck? What does that 1041 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,400 Speaker 1: person want? I want a relief of where I am. 1042 00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 1: So what is that relief? Often it's fast money. It's like, 1043 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,319 Speaker 1: oh my god, my arm hurts. What I want? I 1044 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,799 Speaker 1: want relief, Give me the extra strength tile and all 1045 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 1: of whatever it is because I just want to quick fix. 1046 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 1: And so what happens to a lot of times that 1047 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,759 Speaker 1: person in the situation, and we were hinting at this 1048 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,880 Speaker 1: more different angle before is you get screwed over. The 1049 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 1: system profits off of you because well, you are a 1050 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:19,959 Speaker 1: prime candidate for spending money. But now if you start 1051 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,279 Speaker 1: to say, oh my god, I just want to make 1052 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,800 Speaker 1: some more money, what happens? Will you become a prime 1053 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:30,520 Speaker 1: candidate for that fast money, and that fast money most 1054 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,360 Speaker 1: of the times is not there. And when it is there, 1055 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,799 Speaker 1: if it does happen to come fast, you're also going 1056 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,879 Speaker 1: to lose it just as fast because if you don't 1057 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 1: know what to do with that money, well it can 1058 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,359 Speaker 1: go and leave just as fast. It's a they say, 1059 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,960 Speaker 1: I think it's like eighty percent of lottery winners go 1060 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,800 Speaker 1: broke or bankrupt within five years of winning the lottery. 1061 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 1: Why it's not because you didn't have enough money. People 1062 00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 1: have won millions and millions and millions of dollars. If 1063 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 1: you don't have the financial education and the money comes fast, 1064 00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 1: it's going to disappear just as fast. And on the 1065 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,440 Speaker 1: other side, when you become desperate for money, you become 1066 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,239 Speaker 1: a prime candidate to buy those programs and services that 1067 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 1: are trying to sell you this dream of Hey, all 1068 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 1: you gotta do is work three hours a week on 1069 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,239 Speaker 1: a laptop off of a beach and Bali and you're 1070 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,720 Speaker 1: gonna make ten thousand dollars a month, ten thousand dollars 1071 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,920 Speaker 1: a week. You don't have to do anything. It sounds amazing. 1072 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,880 Speaker 1: Sign me up, nine hundred and ninety seven dollars. No problem. 1073 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,799 Speaker 1: Well that fast money doesn't work like that. There's no 1074 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: sacrifice in the hard work. 1075 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you brought up AI. Where do you see the 1076 00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 2: biggest opportunities with AI and investing right now? 1077 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,799 Speaker 1: Oh? Man, Well, let me premise it with this because 1078 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: I love talking about history, because while history doesn't exactly 1079 00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 1: repeat itself, it does rhyme. When the inner that started 1080 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 1: to become popular in the nineties, we started to see 1081 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 1: very similar things happen. What do I mean by that? 1082 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 1: If you started a company in the mid to late 1083 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,279 Speaker 1: nineties and you put the word dot com at the 1084 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 1: end of it, you could go to whatever bank or 1085 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 1: investing institution you wanted and raise a couple million dollars 1086 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 1: because they wanted a piece of that action. Money was 1087 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 1: just being dumped into the internet companies. And then came 1088 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 1: the year two thousand and in the year two thousand, 1089 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:34,120 Speaker 1: that internet bubble that was created popped and we saw 1090 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:40,000 Speaker 1: internet stocks get wiped out, and there was an index 1091 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,160 Speaker 1: called the Nasdaq, which tracks a lot of these techie 1092 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 1: type of companies. At that time, it was a lot 1093 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:51,080 Speaker 1: of Internet companies. That index fell by about seventy eight percent, 1094 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:59,440 Speaker 1: and it was a disastrous crash where even Amazon stock 1095 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 1: fell more than ninety percent. But during that time, we 1096 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 1: started to hear the news that the Internet must be 1097 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 1: a fad, the Internet's done, no one's using the internet 1098 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,440 Speaker 1: before I mean, there was a lot of famous headlines 1099 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: for big newspapers that publish that. Well, what happened. It 1100 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,760 Speaker 1: wasn't that the Internet died, but a lot of Internet 1101 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 1: companies did die. It was the strong companies that survived, 1102 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,359 Speaker 1: and Amazon became what it is today. So you talk 1103 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 1: about AI, could we be in an AI bubble? Absolutely, 1104 00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,239 Speaker 1: We're always in some sort of bubble. We have more 1105 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 1: money going into AI than ever before, and it really 1106 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,440 Speaker 1: feels like that rate is accelerating, and it's it's like 1107 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,600 Speaker 1: an infinite black hole of money. It's just money coming 1108 00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,719 Speaker 1: out of everywhere, from the government, from foreign countries, from investors. 1109 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:53,040 Speaker 1: Everybody wants a piece of the action. Could we see 1110 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:57,759 Speaker 1: an AI bubble burst? Absolutely, But just like how the 1111 00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,399 Speaker 1: Internet bubble burst. It doesn't mean the AI is going 1112 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,600 Speaker 1: to go away. If it does happen, it means that 1113 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,799 Speaker 1: the smart and the savvy will survive and then the 1114 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,759 Speaker 1: others will get wiped out. So now let me ask 1115 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,839 Speaker 1: that answer that question. Now, where's the opportunity? And I'm 1116 00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 1: going to explain this like an onion, because like onions, 1117 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,080 Speaker 1: have multiple layers. That's how savvy investors like to think 1118 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 1: about their investments. Because when a lot of people think 1119 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 1: about AI, they think, how can I invest in chat GPT. Well, 1120 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:29,800 Speaker 1: when you're saying that, what you're essentially saying is I 1121 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,440 Speaker 1: want to invest in the company that's producing the AI. 1122 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,040 Speaker 1: And there are companies that do that, which sure, but 1123 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:40,040 Speaker 1: that's the top layer of the onion. What every savvy 1124 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,400 Speaker 1: investor wants to do is they want to know where 1125 00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,360 Speaker 1: is the money moving, where's the money going to go? 1126 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 1: Before other people understand. That's what investment research is all about, 1127 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,240 Speaker 1: and that's what I try to spend a lot of 1128 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 1: my time in what my company works on. So let's 1129 00:57:54,000 --> 00:58:00,320 Speaker 1: now go one layer deeper. Well, what is that AI 1130 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,240 Speaker 1: going to be powered by? What is powering this technology? Well, 1131 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,440 Speaker 1: right now, it's being powered by computer chips, because in 1132 00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 1: order to do this AI computing you need powerful computers. Well, 1133 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 1: the next generation of computer chips, which we don't have yet, 1134 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:22,120 Speaker 1: could be something called quantum computers. And a quantum computer 1135 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 1: is essentially a supercomputer to the one thousandth power on 1136 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:32,120 Speaker 1: steroids that a typical computer. So I don't want to 1137 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 1: get two technical, but a typical computer that we have 1138 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:39,320 Speaker 1: today can solve one math problem a second. That's just 1139 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 1: the way that it works. But what a quantum computer 1140 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 1: can do is it can solve multiple problems per second. 1141 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 1: So a sixty four bit computer that we have today 1142 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 1: which exists, that can solve one problem a second, is 1143 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:57,720 Speaker 1: sixty four cbit computer can solve If I remember the 1144 00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 1: numbers correctly, I think it's eighteen quintillion problems a second. 1145 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:08,200 Speaker 1: What does that mean? A quantum computer can solve what 1146 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,840 Speaker 1: a normal computer would take hundreds of years to do. 1147 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 1: That same problem could be solved in a matter of seconds. 1148 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 2: It is. 1149 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,120 Speaker 1: We're not there yet, but there are companies that are 1150 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 1: investing in it. If that happens, some of those companies 1151 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,520 Speaker 1: could make a lot of money. Well, let's keep going 1152 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 1: another layer deeper, right, We're going down the onion. So 1153 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:27,760 Speaker 1: we talked about the first layer, which is the AI 1154 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,120 Speaker 1: maybe quantum What about the third layer. If I have 1155 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:35,880 Speaker 1: a AI company or I have AI, I have data. 1156 00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,320 Speaker 1: And as much as we want to talk about privacy, 1157 00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,280 Speaker 1: the reality is if you have a smartphone, you have data. 1158 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,600 Speaker 1: This is in the cloud. Well the cloud isn't in 1159 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:49,000 Speaker 1: the clouds. The cloud is actually in a physical building 1160 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:54,240 Speaker 1: called a data center. So as AI starts to gather 1161 00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,960 Speaker 1: more data, because anytime you ask chat GPT a question, 1162 00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: whether it's a guacamole recipe or something, write me this email, 1163 01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,200 Speaker 1: that data is being stored somewhere, and that data is 1164 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:07,280 Speaker 1: being stored in a data center. And that could also 1165 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,920 Speaker 1: create an investment opportunity because now as we start to 1166 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 1: have more data being processed, as more people use AI, 1167 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:16,920 Speaker 1: more data is being created every single second. So now 1168 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,200 Speaker 1: data centers are now booming because of that. In fact, 1169 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,680 Speaker 1: I was just reading that there are some companies looking 1170 01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,680 Speaker 1: at putting data centers on the moon now as a 1171 01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,760 Speaker 1: way to diversify. That's how crazy it's getting that we're 1172 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,240 Speaker 1: looking for new ways to put data centers outside of 1173 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 1: the Earth. We could take it now one layer deeper 1174 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:36,840 Speaker 1: in the onion. Right, So we talked about data centers, 1175 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,640 Speaker 1: but those data centers have to be powered too, because 1176 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:43,040 Speaker 1: those data centers need energy. Those data centers that are 1177 01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:45,560 Speaker 1: keeping all this stuff use a lot of power, and 1178 01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 1: there are specific companies that are powering those data centers. 1179 01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 1: And these companies are trying to be as innovative as possible. 1180 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,240 Speaker 1: How can we now power the data center for as 1181 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,760 Speaker 1: low cost as possible? And somebody's going to win that race, 1182 01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 1: and the one that wins that race is going to 1183 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 1: make a lot of money. That can create an investment opportunity. 1184 01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 1: Let's take a one layer deeper in this onion. That 1185 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 1: data center has to be kept at a specific temperature 1186 01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 1: because they have all these computer parts in there that 1187 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:19,440 Speaker 1: get hot. I mean if you use a computer, you know, 1188 01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,720 Speaker 1: you get that sound it gets how well, if that 1189 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 1: data center starts to overheat, it is going to malfunction. 1190 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:30,800 Speaker 1: And no AI company, no tech company, wants to lose it. 1191 01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,479 Speaker 1: I mean it would be a disaster. So these data 1192 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:38,520 Speaker 1: center companies are investing heavily into data center cooling, which 1193 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,560 Speaker 1: is a whole new industry of companies. Well, one of 1194 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,520 Speaker 1: those companies is going to be the most efficient they're 1195 01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: going to be the most innovative, and they're going to 1196 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:50,200 Speaker 1: be the best one, the one that everybody wants to use. Well, 1197 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 1: they're going to have the opportunity to make a lot 1198 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 1: of money as well. And so this is what smart 1199 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,920 Speaker 1: investors are doing is you know when people think about AI, oh, 1200 01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:01,000 Speaker 1: I want to invest in this AI stock, Well that's 1201 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,680 Speaker 1: the first layer of the onion. But what savvy investors 1202 01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 1: are doing is they're peeling that layer back and they're 1203 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 1: trying to think two years on the road, five years 1204 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,440 Speaker 1: down the road, and what are all the things that 1205 01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:15,360 Speaker 1: are impacted by that artificial intelligence. Now you can invest 1206 01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,040 Speaker 1: in the individual companies that are funds that can give 1207 01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,480 Speaker 1: you exposure to artificial intelligence, but the whole idea is understanding. 1208 01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this is investing one on one. It's understanding 1209 01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,920 Speaker 1: where the money is moving and that's where the opportunity 1210 01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:28,840 Speaker 1: will be. 1211 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,360 Speaker 2: Great answer, sign me up to market. 1212 01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:34,840 Speaker 1: Briefs, Yes, that's what we call it, but that's. 1213 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:38,560 Speaker 2: The insights you're giving people. Right Like, if someone signs up, 1214 01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,840 Speaker 2: are you able to say, hey, these are the three 1215 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 2: companies right now that are building X, y Z for 1216 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 2: you to be informed and then someone could go and 1217 01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:48,600 Speaker 2: look at that or how does that? 1218 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,600 Speaker 1: So market Briefs itself is the news. We give you 1219 01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:58,760 Speaker 1: a snapshot of what's happening. That's free. Then for the investors, 1220 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 1: we have different types products for the different type of investor. 1221 01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,160 Speaker 1: Because we talk to people that want to work with 1222 01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 1: a financial advisor, we can help referr you to financial advisor. 1223 01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,680 Speaker 1: For those way that want to be passed to investors, 1224 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 1: we're building tools for you that way you can analyze 1225 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 1: ETFs and do all that stuff with the power of 1226 01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,560 Speaker 1: AI in there. We're building our own proprietary tools, which 1227 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,600 Speaker 1: I've never talked about before, but hey, here we are 1228 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,120 Speaker 1: launching in twenty twenty six some really powerful stuff. Then 1229 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:27,960 Speaker 1: for active investors, we have our Briefs pro product, which 1230 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:32,720 Speaker 1: is research. And the thing that makes this so unique 1231 01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:37,640 Speaker 1: and powerful is traditionally, if you wanted to know what 1232 01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:43,480 Speaker 1: Wall Street knows, it was Number one extremely expensive. Number 1233 01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:46,760 Speaker 1: two is extremely complicated. I mean, if you go and 1234 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,640 Speaker 1: read Black Rocks reports, which I do. I'm a weirdo, 1235 01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:52,280 Speaker 1: I you know, but if you read any of these 1236 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:57,680 Speaker 1: banks reports, it is complicating. It's difficult, and there's a 1237 01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,200 Speaker 1: lot of technical jargon in there that you know, let's us. 1238 01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:05,080 Speaker 1: You are a professional, it's really hard to understand what 1239 01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,120 Speaker 1: these companies are doing. So what we try to do 1240 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 1: is we have analysts that do real research. I mean 1241 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,480 Speaker 1: we're we're going to talking to executives, they're going out 1242 01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,080 Speaker 1: and attending trade shows. They're going out and putting in 1243 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,960 Speaker 1: all this work to find where money is moving. And 1244 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,160 Speaker 1: then we break it down into our pro research for 1245 01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,720 Speaker 1: the active investors, because not everybody should be an active investor. 1246 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,680 Speaker 1: It's for the people that actually want that research that 1247 01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:31,800 Speaker 1: we break down into plain English. 1248 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:37,440 Speaker 2: How should someone who's a university graduate right now, a 1249 01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:41,640 Speaker 2: young person prepare for an AI driven economy? What should 1250 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:42,480 Speaker 2: they be thinking about? 1251 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:47,200 Speaker 1: You better learn it? You better? It is inevitable at first. 1252 01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,320 Speaker 1: You know, I'm one of those guys. I hate to 1253 01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 1: say this, but I'm one of those guys that kind 1254 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:55,560 Speaker 1: of has always fought technology. I was very anti smartphone 1255 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,200 Speaker 1: for a long time. I was very anti touchscreen phone 1256 01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:01,040 Speaker 1: for a long time. Still don't really understand how to 1257 01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:04,200 Speaker 1: use Netflix. My wife is the lead on that, and 1258 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:07,720 Speaker 1: I was kind of like, you know, with AI, I said, 1259 01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:12,160 Speaker 1: this is cool, We'll see where this goes. And as 1260 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,040 Speaker 1: I started to learn about it more and more, and 1261 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,720 Speaker 1: I started to use it in my own business. I 1262 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,240 Speaker 1: started to realize, oh my god, this is not one 1263 01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,080 Speaker 1: of those things that I can just kind of sit on. 1264 01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:30,560 Speaker 1: Because the Internet changed the world quickly, and the companies 1265 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:34,480 Speaker 1: that understood the Internet were able to grow very fast, 1266 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:41,160 Speaker 1: and the companies that didn't failed Blockbuster bankrupt, Sears bankrupt. Well. 1267 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:45,280 Speaker 1: AI is doing the same thing at a much bigger level, 1268 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,600 Speaker 1: at a much faster rate. But our minds haven't gotten faster. 1269 01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 1: And that's what makes it very unique. Because humanity can 1270 01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,760 Speaker 1: only evolve as fast as we can evolve. I mean, 1271 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 1: our minds can only grow at a certain rate. Technology 1272 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:07,320 Speaker 1: keeps growing exponentially faster. So when the Internet started to grow, 1273 01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:10,640 Speaker 1: we thought it was extremely fast. I mean, over the 1274 01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:15,120 Speaker 1: course of two thousand twenty ten, we saw a lot 1275 01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,640 Speaker 1: of companies that were not getting involved with the Internet 1276 01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:22,080 Speaker 1: getting wiped out. Well, Chat, GPT did not exist five 1277 01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:26,080 Speaker 1: years ago, and here we are today in twenty twenty five, 1278 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,640 Speaker 1: and you have a lot of companies that have replaced 1279 01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,920 Speaker 1: workers with AI and ensure. There's a lot of companies 1280 01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 1: that have not started adopting it yet. But the companies 1281 01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 1: that are savvy have started integrating AI in some way, 1282 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 1: shape or form. I mean, I have a YouTube channel 1283 01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,320 Speaker 1: in Spanish. I'll give you an example, and what I 1284 01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,440 Speaker 1: used to do is we used to take my videos, 1285 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,840 Speaker 1: send it to a person who would then write down 1286 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,560 Speaker 1: my script and then he would record it or he 1287 01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:57,440 Speaker 1: would translate it and then he would record it. He 1288 01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 1: would give us the audio recording, and then we would 1289 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:01,840 Speaker 1: take the audio recording and impose it onto the video. 1290 01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:03,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this was the process. I'm sure you've done 1291 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,720 Speaker 1: something similar and then that would get published. And that's 1292 01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,560 Speaker 1: what we did for a long time. Then came AI. 1293 01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,160 Speaker 1: You take the YouTube url, you put it into this thing, 1294 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,960 Speaker 1: you press entern in fifteen seconds later it's a video 1295 01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,760 Speaker 1: dubbed in Spanish in my voice. 1296 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:25,120 Speaker 2: At a fraction of the price and speed. Insane. 1297 01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 1: You don't have to rely on somebody else. This guy's 1298 01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 1: on vacation, I have to wait for him to come 1299 01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:30,840 Speaker 1: back for vocation, or if I'm doing an interview with 1300 01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:33,600 Speaker 1: somebody else and I need two voice editors. I mean, 1301 01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:37,680 Speaker 1: it was just it was difficult and expensive. Now with AI, 1302 01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,760 Speaker 1: it's not like that. So we're talking about in just 1303 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,560 Speaker 1: a few years we've gotten to where we are today, 1304 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,520 Speaker 1: and we're not even at the goal of what AI 1305 01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:53,280 Speaker 1: wants to be. The goal with AI is AGI artificial 1306 01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:59,360 Speaker 1: general intelligence. And if you read what OpenAI has published 1307 01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,600 Speaker 1: on their website, they say that their goal is to 1308 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:06,360 Speaker 1: build a smarter artificial general intelligence for humankind. Meta has 1309 01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,160 Speaker 1: said the same thing. I mean, pretty much any AI 1310 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,280 Speaker 1: executive has made it explicitly clear that their goal is 1311 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:16,360 Speaker 1: not artificial intelligence. It's a GI. And what AGI is 1312 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:19,599 Speaker 1: it's an AI that will do the work for you. 1313 01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 1: So let's say I wanted to start a guacamoly business, right, 1314 01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 1: I like you, I like food. I'm just a food person. 1315 01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,880 Speaker 1: So if I go to AI and I say I 1316 01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:32,479 Speaker 1: want to start this business, it can give me some 1317 01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:33,960 Speaker 1: recipes and I can say, you know you can do. 1318 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,800 Speaker 1: You need to file an LLC, you should go find 1319 01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,759 Speaker 1: an assistant, and you should find a place to build 1320 01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:43,200 Speaker 1: your recipes and things like that. If I ask that 1321 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:48,240 Speaker 1: same question to AGI, the results are very different. Instead 1322 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 1: of telling me what I need to do, AGI will 1323 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 1: go out and actually file my LLC for me. It 1324 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:56,000 Speaker 1: will go out and sign a lease for me to 1325 01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:00,200 Speaker 1: rent my warehouse. It will go out and hire me 1326 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,560 Speaker 1: a team will hire me and exist an executive assistant 1327 01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 1: to run the business for me. 1328 01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:07,120 Speaker 2: You'll probably hire an AI and it'll. 1329 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:11,320 Speaker 1: Hire the AI to do that work. That's what's every 1330 01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,519 Speaker 1: AI company is working for. And the first company to 1331 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,800 Speaker 1: get there is going to be the one that is 1332 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: going to be making all that money. And if you 1333 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 1: don't understand that, you're going to be left behind. So 1334 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:28,160 Speaker 1: if you're out of college, you have to learn about AI. 1335 01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't care what industry that you're in. Learn how 1336 01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,040 Speaker 1: to use it because you know, a lot of people 1337 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,040 Speaker 1: talk about there's not going to be need for human workers. 1338 01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,680 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily agree with that. Yeah, I agree with that, 1339 01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 1: but there's not going to be a need for purple 1340 01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 1: that don't really understand how to use AI. And so 1341 01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:45,800 Speaker 1: you need to understand how to use it to make 1342 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:49,320 Speaker 1: your work better, to make your work more efficient, because 1343 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:53,400 Speaker 1: you might not be replaced with AI, but you will 1344 01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:57,479 Speaker 1: be replaced by somebody who understands AI. And I know 1345 01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,160 Speaker 1: at our company, when we hire I don't care the 1346 01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:02,840 Speaker 1: position is. Even our customer service reps, we ask them, 1347 01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,200 Speaker 1: how do you use AI? What do you understand about AI? 1348 01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:09,920 Speaker 1: Because we want to know how you are thinking and 1349 01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:13,120 Speaker 1: if you are out of college, you were in a 1350 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,759 Speaker 1: I mean, and people look at it as a big 1351 01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:20,400 Speaker 1: con and a big hindrance. But for the savvy, it's 1352 01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:23,960 Speaker 1: a huge opportunity because most people have no idea, they 1353 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,519 Speaker 1: don't know anything beyond chat GEPT, and all they use 1354 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,559 Speaker 1: chat cheapt for is the very basic stuff of how 1355 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 1: to write an email or analyze this for me. But 1356 01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:35,960 Speaker 1: if you can start to research it, and there's a 1357 01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:37,640 Speaker 1: lot of free resources on YouTube. 1358 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, what would you recommend for somebody who's like, I 1359 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:41,680 Speaker 2: really want to learn AI this year? I want to 1360 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:43,800 Speaker 2: give you know, a couple of hours a week to 1361 01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:45,439 Speaker 2: do it, maybe a couple of hours a day because 1362 01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,519 Speaker 2: I'm really excited about it. Where where do they start? 1363 01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,080 Speaker 1: Start with YouTube? I mean, YouTube's got so much free 1364 01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:54,320 Speaker 1: content out there, and learn some thing and it's free, 1365 01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,320 Speaker 1: free to try it. Go into chat, GPT, go onto 1366 01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,439 Speaker 1: YouTube and learn what can they use AI for? And 1367 01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,120 Speaker 1: you're going to see all these crazy stuff to start 1368 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:05,559 Speaker 1: to go down some rabbit hole that can align with 1369 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,240 Speaker 1: your career. So, if you're a dentist, how can I 1370 01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:11,080 Speaker 1: use AI in a dentistry office? If you are an engineer, 1371 01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:12,560 Speaker 1: how do I use it as an engineer. If you 1372 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:17,040 Speaker 1: are a construction worker, how can construction workers use AI? 1373 01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,639 Speaker 1: I mean, there was the thing that I was reading 1374 01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:25,520 Speaker 1: about window washers. This is not a tech savvy industry, 1375 01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:29,120 Speaker 1: but it was talking about how there's a business of 1376 01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:33,000 Speaker 1: people now that are building AI tools for window washers, saying, hey, 1377 01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:38,479 Speaker 1: when you have to go and clean people's windows, how 1378 01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:42,599 Speaker 1: do you know which house to go to first? If 1379 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,880 Speaker 1: you can have an AI tool to build that route 1380 01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:46,960 Speaker 1: for you, you can save time and do more houses 1381 01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,080 Speaker 1: in a day. And if you can use that same 1382 01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:53,479 Speaker 1: AI tool to help you give quotes that are more 1383 01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:57,320 Speaker 1: realistic to maintain a profit margin without you necessarily having 1384 01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:00,960 Speaker 1: to go to every single house, you can give more 1385 01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:05,880 Speaker 1: quotes that are more accurate and spend less time doing it. So, 1386 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:09,120 Speaker 1: if you want to edge as a window washer, use AI. 1387 01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:11,719 Speaker 1: If you want to edge as a real estate agent, 1388 01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:17,599 Speaker 1: use AI. I mean in real estate. There was if 1389 01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:19,880 Speaker 1: you want to help sell a house, you want the 1390 01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:21,479 Speaker 1: house to be furnished. You wanted to have the nice 1391 01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:25,479 Speaker 1: furniture so people can imagine themselves living there. Well, it's 1392 01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:29,800 Speaker 1: expensive to furnish a house, but what if you can 1393 01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:31,760 Speaker 1: take a virtual tour of a house because somebody can 1394 01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 1: take a video of it and you can use AI 1395 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:37,679 Speaker 1: to super impose the furniture in the house. Now somebody 1396 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:40,679 Speaker 1: can imagine themselves living in the house with a virtual 1397 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:42,280 Speaker 1: tour where they don't have to go to the house, 1398 01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,120 Speaker 1: and it costs you a fraction of the cost of 1399 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,880 Speaker 1: actually furnishing it, which means that you can find more 1400 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:54,639 Speaker 1: of that potential buyer faster, easier if you can show 1401 01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:57,720 Speaker 1: them how they could potentially live there. Again, it's not 1402 01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:00,360 Speaker 1: replacing the need for them to go there, but it's 1403 01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:03,559 Speaker 1: making it easier for them to decide if they want 1404 01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:03,960 Speaker 1: it or not. 1405 01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:07,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I've seen the AI that lets you 1406 01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:09,800 Speaker 2: try on things when you're online shopping for you it's 1407 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,160 Speaker 2: crazy Avatar to see it, for you to see it, 1408 01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:17,240 Speaker 2: whether it's purchasing something, it's it's incredible just how much 1409 01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:21,240 Speaker 2: it's speeding up decision making purchase again, which means again 1410 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,200 Speaker 2: going back to your original point where we started, is 1411 01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:26,200 Speaker 2: you're either going to become the consumer, yeah, or the 1412 01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:28,760 Speaker 2: investor and the user one because we're all going to 1413 01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:30,720 Speaker 2: consume based of AI because it's going to make it 1414 01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:31,719 Speaker 2: easier to spend more. 1415 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:35,280 Speaker 1: Absolutely and the people that understand it. It's going to 1416 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,800 Speaker 1: the internet made some people wealthier, it made it easier 1417 01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,200 Speaker 1: for everyone else to spend money. Right, we started off 1418 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,720 Speaker 1: with oh, you can just spend money without driving to 1419 01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:48,320 Speaker 1: the store. Well, then it became the one click purchase 1420 01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,680 Speaker 1: because Amazon realized that for every time you had to 1421 01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,680 Speaker 1: click a button to get to the checkout page, they 1422 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:56,479 Speaker 1: lost about fifty percent of buyers. So this and how 1423 01:13:56,520 --> 01:14:00,479 Speaker 1: do we just create the one click purchase way? It's 1424 01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:04,880 Speaker 1: so easy to buy. Then came buy now, pay later online, 1425 01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:06,800 Speaker 1: So you go to the purchase, don't you don't need 1426 01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,599 Speaker 1: the money to buy anymore, Just hit by and we'll 1427 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,639 Speaker 1: figure out how to get your payments later. Now, with AI, 1428 01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:16,320 Speaker 1: it's going to know what you want before you know 1429 01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:19,080 Speaker 1: what you want, and it will be presented to you. 1430 01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:23,439 Speaker 1: And the people that don't understand how to control their 1431 01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:27,240 Speaker 1: finances are going to be spending their money much faster. 1432 01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,120 Speaker 1: The people that understand this are going to be able 1433 01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:33,920 Speaker 1: to gather that money much faster. So it's what side 1434 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,439 Speaker 1: of the game do you want to be on? And 1435 01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:39,679 Speaker 1: it goes back to the financial education, which we're never taught. 1436 01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:45,920 Speaker 2: It's great masterclass. It's fantastic, really great man. The world 1437 01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,840 Speaker 2: is changing so simple. No, but the world is changing. 1438 01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,679 Speaker 2: It's changing fast. But what I really appreciate about talking 1439 01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:53,720 Speaker 2: to you is you make it so simple and you 1440 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:55,840 Speaker 2: make it applicable for everyone. I hope everyone has been 1441 01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 2: listening and watching today has a roadmap. I feel like 1442 01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,720 Speaker 2: they have this step that they need to take to 1443 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:05,439 Speaker 2: improve their financial wellbeing, and that they're supported in that 1444 01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:08,880 Speaker 2: because it's such a systematic process and it doesn't matter 1445 01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:12,000 Speaker 2: how much or how little you have. It feels like 1446 01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:14,040 Speaker 2: you've given people a real blueprint to start with. 1447 01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:16,559 Speaker 1: The reason why I wanted to do this is because 1448 01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:20,840 Speaker 1: I was actually reading a statistic right when your team 1449 01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:25,919 Speaker 1: emailed me, which was we know that somewhere between fifty 1450 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,080 Speaker 1: to seventy percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, 1451 01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,439 Speaker 1: And then I was reading a statistic that said seventy 1452 01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:36,240 Speaker 1: two percent of Americans have Netflix. What that told me 1453 01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,920 Speaker 1: is that the average American is spending more money on 1454 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 1: Netflix than they are on their investments. And that's a 1455 01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:49,360 Speaker 1: problem that should be flipped, or it should be way 1456 01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:53,640 Speaker 1: beyond flipped. And it's what are we prioritizing. And the 1457 01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,000 Speaker 1: reality is the reason why so many people do that 1458 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,080 Speaker 1: is because we just don't know there's an alternative. And 1459 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,080 Speaker 1: that's what we're on the mission to do, is to 1460 01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:06,559 Speaker 1: help help people be better with money because it costs 1461 01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:08,960 Speaker 1: money to eat, it costs money to feed other people. 1462 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:13,600 Speaker 1: And unless you learn, you were going to be the 1463 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:18,040 Speaker 1: person making everybody else rich and never wondering, never understanding 1464 01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:22,160 Speaker 1: why why how come I can't ever have freedom? How 1465 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:23,960 Speaker 1: come I can't ever have those nice things? How come 1466 01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,280 Speaker 1: I can't ever do that stuff that everybody else is doing? 1467 01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:28,360 Speaker 1: But it starts with their mindset and starts with that 1468 01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:29,200 Speaker 1: financial education. 1469 01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:33,200 Speaker 2: Great, just read thing.
