These are just 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported.

Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: border and families will be protected. 16 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. 17 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 3: So talk about what's the most important thing to look 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 3: for in looking at a company and start. I mean, 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 3: so anytime you analyze in the company, I look at 20 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 3: it the same way, the same way Steph Curry shoot 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 3: the same free throws. It's like building a repetition, right. 22 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 3: And it's like I always say, start out with a 23 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 3: holistic view. Right, holistic view, Do I like the management team? 24 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 3: Do I like how they are putting this company in 25 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 3: the right path? But then I'm like, what's the opportunity 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 3: set of this sector? 27 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: Right? 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 3: If we're talking about retail companies at the time, right 29 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 3: twenty twelve or even now for that matter, we understand 30 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 3: because at that time, not only was they losing out, 31 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 3: but they had price match. So like you could literally 32 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 3: go to Jake, you could go to Jcpenny or Target 33 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: or whatever. You'd be like, Yo, you pull up on 34 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 3: your phone, your Walmart got the same TV for one 35 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 3: hundred dollars less. They got to match it, right. Price 36 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 3: match started coming out at that and so you're looking 37 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: at holistic view, management team, opportunity set is this business? 38 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 3: Is it cyclical? Is it declining or is it expanding? Right, 39 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 3: So we talk about you know, electric vehicles, that business 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: is growing, Right, It's a big oportunity set and we 41 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: still haven't reached this full potential. So my holistic view 42 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 3: is like, is this company or one is this in 43 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: a sector that's growing or declining. And then is this 44 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 3: company does the how much market share do they have 45 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 3: and do they have the ability to get more or 46 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 3: do they have the ability or I'm sorry or is 47 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 3: it other companies that are actually coming in and taking 48 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: market share? So if you look at Apple versus BlackBerry back, 49 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 3: I remember the ticker, I think black Beerry was like 50 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: rim or something. And if that's the case, you looking 51 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: like man rim. They can't compete. Right At the one 52 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 3: time BlackBerry had you know, they had a the type 53 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: of software that you couldn't crack. So that was the 54 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: thing all Wall Street people had, they Blackberries. But then 55 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 3: Apple ended up getting the same thing. They took all 56 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 3: their market share. So you're looking at saying does this 57 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: company have that moat? I know shut out in he 58 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: say mold a lot or that do does this have 59 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: a moat? But also you know you're saying is their 60 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: business growing? Is that profitability growing? Is it more opportunity set? Right? 61 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 3: What are they saying in terms of future guidance? Are 62 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 3: they able? Is their business? You know what's the margins 63 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: on their products? 64 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: Right? 65 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: You look at Apple, one thing they make a lot 66 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: money own is their cessories, Right, Okay, phone is one thing, 67 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 3: but then it's accessory. So I always take a holistic view. 68 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 3: Also say who owns the stock? Right, I go on 69 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: Yahoo Finance and look at the holders, because it's important 70 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: to know if people smarter than you, who have a 71 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 3: dedicated research team that are following this day in and 72 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 3: day out, Like we don't have the ability to call 73 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 3: the CFO of Apple, but you know Berkshire does, Vanguard 74 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: does Fidelity does. I always look to see who those 75 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: top ten holders are. That always gives me an understanding too. 76 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 3: If people are smarter than us, then you're looking at 77 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 3: the charts, right. So I always start off fundamentals before 78 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: I get into the technicals. Fundamentals is everything like everything 79 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: we was just talking about, But the technicals is you know, 80 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: where's the price trading? So like fundamentals are saying why 81 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: I should buy this company? Right once again, opportunity said 82 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: is growing. Technicals is like an in shout out in 83 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: he always say like it's it's you know, you can 84 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 3: batter right company, but just at the wrong time. So 85 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: the technical is gonna say, yo, you know RSI is here. 86 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: You know RSI is under thirty. Now might be a 87 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: good time to buy it, and I think so, I 88 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: think anybody that's trying to say, you know, to develop 89 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 3: the repetition, it's the same way like you shot free 90 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 3: throws different than you would shoot free throws right. You 91 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 3: might dribble three times spin the ball, but you know, 92 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: like your end goal. And I think that's the same 93 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 3: thing when it comes to picking a company, right, it's like, okay, 94 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 3: opportunity set, holistic view. Is this company growing? Also? Are 95 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: they sales growing? Is their profitability? Are they able to 96 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 3: maintain margins because a lot of businesses are getting pressured 97 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 3: into margins, especially in that retail space because for the 98 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: most part Amazon had no overhead, where Toys r US 99 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 3: and JC Penny got none. But overhead you're looking at 100 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: how much their rent is, right, And so I kind 101 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 3: of look at it that way. 102 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 4: So when you obviously when you started you didn't even know, 103 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 4: like when you got to war and you said that 104 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 4: you saw somebody day traded, obviously you start working on 105 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 4: Wall Street. How fast is the learning curve? 106 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: Right? 107 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 4: Because if you don't learn pretty quick, you're gonna get 108 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,559 Speaker 4: left behind in that space. 109 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. Boy boy, what was that like? 110 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 3: Learning curve? Crazy? Once again, at the time, I was 111 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 3: trying to live life like TV bro. I'm trying to 112 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 3: get on the phone and talk to Van. I don't 113 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 3: like because I but I needed to know that. And 114 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: so what I would say the learning curve was very 115 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: hard because you had to It's almost like if you're 116 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 3: taking the SAT and you're doing the reading part, like 117 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 3: if you I was talking to somebody the other day 118 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 3: and they was like, Yo, I'll teach kids how to 119 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: do good on ACT or SAT or whatever. He's like, 120 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 3: Y're gonna read the first and the last paragraphs and 121 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: skim the middle right. And I say that to say, 122 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: like when you talk about the learning curve, when you're 123 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: looking at that earnings report, right, just they publish an 124 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 3: earners report, then they'll put out the ten Q in 125 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 3: ten k annually, right, but the earners report it might 126 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: be ten twelve pages. You got to know what to 127 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: look for quick as well. And so that was the 128 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 3: biggest thing on a learning on a on a learning 129 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 3: curve because it's like, what am I looking for? And 130 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 3: then it's like, Okay, what are the numbers that you know? 131 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 3: Because this is a like the models are leaving. I 132 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 3: look at it like a living, breathing organism, because once 133 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: you plug it in, it's gonna spit out something else 134 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 3: that's saying, these bonds is worth this, this stock is 135 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 3: worth that. And so the learning curve was hard and 136 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 3: you're sitting there right in bro Wall Street is one 137 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 3: of them things where it's a blessing to be on there, 138 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: but it's you know, it's very subjective, right, like the 139 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 3: only black person in there, you know what I mean? 140 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: If I come around, you know, make a joke or something, 141 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 3: or small earners, what's up. 142 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 4: You ever walk into a small business and everything just works, Like, 143 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 4: the checkout is fast, the receipts are digital, tipping is 144 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 4: a breeze, and you're out the door before the line 145 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 4: even builds odds are they're using Square.

He needs to tone 190 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 3: it down. So you know. The biggest learning curve was 191 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: culturally over the actual academia part of it. The academy, 192 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 3: I felt as though coming from more and I can 193 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 3: grasp anything. The biggest learning curve was learning how to 194 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 3: act right, Like I got pulled aside. I got pulled aside, 195 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: And anybody that's working on Wall Street, Bro, they understand 196 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: what I'm talking about. It's a way you got to 197 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 3: carry yourself and it's a way to dress right. At 198 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 3: one point they told me I was too flashy because 199 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 3: I got a paragam on tie on. Right. They telling 200 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 3: me I got too much swag because I walked different. 201 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 3: So and I'm a person pulled me side. Bro, you 202 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: gotta walk like you in a hurry. See what the 203 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 3: hell does that mean? Bro? Like you know what I mean? Like, 204 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 3: walk like you in a hurry, walk with your head down, 205 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 3: keep acting, because it's all perception, bro, perception reality. And 206 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 3: when you come from a ivy league as a black dude, 207 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: they already think, you know, kid thinking cocky and I 208 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: was swagged out. I ain't gonna hold you. But at 209 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: the same time they was hold They were trying to 210 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: hold me in the sense of like he was too cocky, 211 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: right he you know he and oh he's not doing 212 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 3: the grunt work. And so the biggest thing was the 213 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 3: cultural part of being in a different It's a fraternity 214 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 3: to write, these guys all play lacrosse country club, living Connecticut, 215 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 3: you feel me like Westchester and all that, yeah, role 216 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 3: and one of those people playing basketball on them desk for 217 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 3: the most part, right, it was lacrosse row you feel me, 218 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 3: field hockey, all that stuff. And it's a different culture, 219 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 3: different country club. 220 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 2: Right. 221 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 3: They got their vest song, the vineyard vine vests and 222 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 3: all that, you know what I mean. So that the 223 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: academia part, it was hard at first, but you understand 224 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: that because if you know how to study, you can 225 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: get that. But the cultural thing was one that was 226 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 3: very difficult. And I remember I was sitting at the 227 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 3: dinner table with you not that long ago, and we 228 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 3: was talking about, you know, a potential client, and this 229 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 3: is how we come in, right, I'm wraw right now. 230 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 3: Either you like it or you don't. But when I 231 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 3: was twenty two at the time, it was one of 232 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 3: them like I had to get down and lay down 233 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 3: or I had to really conform to that life. So 234 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 3: why'd you leave? So I ended up So when I 235 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 3: left Morgan Stanley, I ended up getting the best job 236 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 3: at a hedge fund where I was able to move 237 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 3: back to my hometown Chicago, and the reason I left was, 238 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 3: you know, I just wanted more, right. So at the 239 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: same time, you know I was making music, right, I 240 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 3: make music. I'm nice, Right, I need you to have 241 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 3: my vinyl back here one of these days on god 242 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: On want kids. We need that. But so one thing 243 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 3: I'm going to work. I have my music on the radio. 244 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 3: So I'm already feeling it. But one thing about moving 245 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 3: back to Chicago is, and I think y'all are the tests, right, 246 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 3: is when you going and you trying to do something, 247 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 3: you got laser focus, you got your horse blinders on. 248 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 3: And as a result, I really wasn't that in tune 249 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 3: with the community as much as I could have. Right 250 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 3: where at Margan Stanley show, I did some community service, 251 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 3: but like the people that I grew up with, I 252 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: wasn't in tune with them. But me going back to Chicago, 253 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: I really got to realize, like yo, when you look 254 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 3: at the wealth gap and the information gap, it really 255 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 3: boils down to the exposure gap. So what you exposed to. Right, 256 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 3: So being at Morgan Stanley, I'm walking by, I see 257 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 3: MD on the desk, right, a managing direct on the desk, 258 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 3: checking a retirement account, checking a four on one K. 259 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 3: You got two three million in there, right, most people 260 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 3: that look like us don't even got four one K's 261 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 3: the retirement plans in general, right, they holping social security still, right, 262 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 3: And so once I started understanding that and looking at 263 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 3: other people, Oh, I got an LLC for this. Oh, 264 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 3: this is the type of accounts I have for my kids, 265 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: I realized. One of my best friends at the crib, 266 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 3: he like, bro, you ain't really my friend, bro if 267 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: you ain't teaching me how to get a bag. So 268 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 3: that's what made me say, yo, I want to start 269 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 3: making content. So that's when I develop economics, which you know, 270 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 3: very similar to what y'all do, is making learning about 271 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 3: finance cool, making it more digestible so the average person 272 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 3: could understand it because we take a full step back. 273 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 3: It's like, you know, they think this is an old 274 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: white man's game. Historically it was, but now this stuff 275 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 3: been democratized. Right, we got podcasts about it, we got 276 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 3: social media about it. Now it's apps that allow us 277 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 3: to buy stocks for free. I remember when I got 278 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: e trading. Oh wait, it cost me thirteen dollars buying 279 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 3: thirteen dollars to seal. So if I'm putting one hundred 280 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 3: dollars to work, I got over. I got thirteen percent 281 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: and over in costs to buy that. So at that moment, 282 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 3: I'm already lost. I need to stock to go over 283 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 3: thirteen percent for me to you know what, I mean, 284 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 3: to make money. So at that moment, it's like, all right, 285 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 3: but now democratization of everything, right, Like we swimming in knowledge, 286 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 3: but we yearning for wisdom. And now it's like, how 287 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: do we give everybody the right wisdom? And so one 288 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 3: of the things I did was like, man, I want 289 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 3: to start putting out content right Because I went by 290 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 3: the Moniker Wall Street rapper, I was talking to somebody, 291 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 3: She's like, Okay, what the hell does Wall Street mean? 292 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 3: So it's like, let me bring main Street. Let me 293 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 3: bring Wall Street to Main Street. And so one of 294 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: the things I was able to do was while I 295 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 3: was working, I was always had a hustles right shout 296 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 3: of my dog Ja. We used to throw parties, we 297 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 3: had to drill. Then I also opened up a restaurant, 298 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 3: and then I had the content and I had the music. 299 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 3: So I'm like, bro. One of the things I said, 300 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 3: if I can make a fraction of what I make 301 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 3: while working on Wall Street while only dedicating call it 302 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: four or five hours to the side hustles. Then if 303 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 3: I gave it twenty four hours, then it's over with 304 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 3: and so I was able to leave while having other 305 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 3: investments right still trading and developmentcanomics. 306 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 307 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts.
