Speaker 4: because I got sick and tired after twenty years my

43
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 4: man of being on Wall Street.

44
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 5: I've seen the little guy gets screwed.

45
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: Now you all know that the number one roll of

46
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 4: money that I have is that your health is your wealth.

47
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 5: You can't be truly wealthy if you're not healthy.

48
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 4: That's why I send all of my clients, my friends,

49
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: my family to my concerage doctor. His name is mister

50
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 4: Matt Chalmers. You guys don't sleep on him. You've heard

51
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: him on the show. This guy is the doctor that

52
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: everybody sends their clients and patience to when their doctor

53
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 4: can't fix them.

54
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 5: Right. One of the things I came up with Charmers.

55
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 4: You guys have heard us talk about him a lot,

56
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 4: is that he is the guy that just solves the

57
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: He fixes the issues that other doctors can't fix. Right.

58
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 4: I call him the number one wellness doctor in the

59
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 4: world for me. For more information on him, check out

60
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,000

Speaker 4: two one four four four six fifty three hundred. Now

62
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 4: listen the man. I'm excited today because this is the

63
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 4: third time we've had this gentleman in the studio, and

64
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 4: it took that long to get him onto the set

65
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 4: because usually me, you, Blue Joe, everybody in the studio

66
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 4: is cornering him. We're having a good time. This is

67
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 4: a gentleman that I met about two to three years ago.

68
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: If you've heard my show before you knew I went

69
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 4: through some dark times. Me and this dude, we're at

70
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: a dinner table. We connected. I heard his story. It

71
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 4: had parallels to my story. Through that, we've met some

72
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: amazing friendships comisha in the house today, business relationships. There's

73
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 4: not much more I could say about this man without

74
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 4: introducing him, without further ado my man, mister Nick Long, Yeah.

75
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 6: Bro, I need to travel around with you in my

76
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 6: pocket and just be like, before I walk into a room,

77
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 6: just drop that intro I got.

78
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: I was a little bit nervous on that opening. It's

79
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 4: very rare that I get nervous on the show.

80
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: But he said, I was.

81
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 5: I fumbled a few words, and I know Joe Grindie

82
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 5: is gonna love that.

83
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: But Joseph, right now, I'm surprised you didn't come out

84
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: and say, but I tell you why, man.

85
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: You know me, Blue, I'm a little bit emotional guy

86
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 4: and listening you know the past hour we spent with

87
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: ship two hours now right in the conference room, and

88
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: the connections that always get made, man, and the magic

89
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: that that happens when you're around for the audience. And

90
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 4: you know the reason I didn't mention your company and

91
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 4: or anything like that, because to me, you're a people guy.

92
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 5: You know you've done.

93
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: I've seen you represent companies, I've seen you help companies.

94
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: More importantly, I've seen you help individuals. And the reason

95
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: that I wanted you on the show obviously it's financial Fridays,

96
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 4: but once again, you have so many stories of overcoming

97
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: adversity because I think a lot of ab the audience

98
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 4: can relate to that there's always going to be tough

99
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: times in somebody's life. So I love the fact that

100
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 4: the first question I asked you was can I be

101
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: vulnerable with you?

102
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 5: And you said, man, I got nothing to hide.

103
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 6: There's anything you want to ask me. I'm an open book, man,

104
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 6: because that's the only way you learn is you opened

105
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 6: up the book, right and if you want to teach,

106
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 6: if you want to teach, you got to be an

107
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 6: open book, you know, because like there's a lot just

108
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 6: in the last two hours I learned and I gleaned

109
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 6: from you. You saw me. I'm sitting there taking notes,

110
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 6: you know, like a like a stupid because like, like

111
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 6: I have something to learn from from everybody, and I

112
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 6: also know that I have something to teach. So if

113
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 6: I'm going to teach, and I'm going to preach well,

114
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 6: like I'm going to open up my book and let

115
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 6: every page be read.

116
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: You know, It's funny to say that because I feel

117
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: like I'm always a student as well, and I'm one

118
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: of those guys that I love, you know, recycling good information, right,

119
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: because if you hear something great and you were able

120
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: to share it with somebody and someone else resonates it

121
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: with you don't have to be the master of that.

122
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 3: You don't have to be the one that created it.

123
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's just for that person or even for yourself.

124
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: And I find it awesome. Nick, Where exactly where's home

125
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: for you? Where'd you grow up?

126
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 6: So I'm a nine to nine kid, Yes, I was

127
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 6: the I E baby. Yeah, so I grew up. I

128
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 6: would call my hometown Chino Hills. First half of my

129
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 6: life I was in Ontario, California, moved to Chino Hills.

130
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 6: I think Chino Hills was like the first time where

131
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 6: I realized that there was kind of a divide in

132
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 6: in social classes.

133
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, we moved.

134
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 6: There shit, probably nineteen eighty nine, nineteen ninety and my

135
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 6: parents paid a half a million dollars for that home.

136
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 6: Back then right. Yeah, So it was.

137
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: Like the audience at home, who's not in California, It's like, damn, that's.

138
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 5: A lot about.

139
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 6: No, no, but half a million dollars for a home

140
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 6: in Chino Hills in nineteen nine.

141
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 5: That was a lot of land.

142
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a lot of scratch. And so I

143
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 6: was like, dang, like they're like people live like this,

144
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 6: you know. And and we were in a nice community.

145
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 6: But then there was like you talked about in the

146
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 6: conference room, like there was gated communities the country a country.

147
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 6: It was the first time and the first time I

148
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 6: saw there was gated community, it's pain ranch. And I

149
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 6: was like, damn, like what is going on. So that's

150
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 6: that's where I grew up. I'm a humble kid from

151

00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 6: high school was a bulldog.

160
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: And yeah I was.

161
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 6: I went to Iola High School. Yeah, but yeah, so

162
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 6: I was a bulldog and that's kind of how That's

163
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 6: kind of how I was. That's how I've been in life. Man,

164
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 6: I've just been a bulldog. I've been like a dog

165
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 6: on a bone. But wrestling was a was a great

166
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 6: sport because I think it teaches you a lot of life.

167
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 6: You know, it's individual sport. There's there's there's no equipment.

168
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,559
Speaker 6: You know, it's your mind, it's your standarma, it's your heart.

169
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 6: It's it's trying to figure out, like what your opponent's

170
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 6: going to do so you can. It's a series of

171
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 6: attacks and counterattacks. And but like how you show up

172
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 6: on that mat gives you, gives your guys, your teammates

173
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 6: permission to do the same, and also puts points or

174
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 6: deduct points overall. So that's kind of just how I've

175
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 6: I've been living my life, you know, as that bulldog

176
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 6: sort of independent yet team player guy, if that makes sense.

177
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 5: Sure?

178
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: Sure you did you after high school? Did you continue?

179
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 6: Or are you just so I did? Yeah? I got

180
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 6: a scholarship. Yeah, so I so you I was. I

181
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 6: would I would say I went from being a good

182
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 6: wrestler in high school to a great wrestler. But that

183
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 6: was because the container that I went into, like I

184
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 6: was like the king of the mat, like in my

185
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 6: little community. But when I when I went to college,

186
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 6: I was getting like mopped up on the mat. But

187
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 6: that leveling up, which is what I've always tried to

188
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 6: do in my life, caused the level of my wrestling

189
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 6: game to go up as well. So I got half

190
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 6: scholastic scholarship half actual like you know, athletic scholarship. So

191
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 6: I was like I was one of those smart.

192
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: Smart and uh and smart and smart and scrappy. Yeah,

193
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: I'll think.

194
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 4: Once you got into the business world, you know, you

195
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: take you take a lot of these lessons from sports,

196
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: right and you do you think that the wrestling kind

197
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: of give you that tenacity that that I see you

198
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 4: in the business world?

199
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 6: Thousand percent? Man, one thousand percent. Because again, it's it's

200
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 6: a series of attacks and encounter attacks, right like, and

201
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 6: that's what that's what life is. And it's an attack,

202
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 6: maybe being an aggressive word, but it's a it's a

203
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 6: move and then an alternate move, and a move and

204
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 6: an alternate move. And that's what business is like too.

205
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 6: And like I can show up individually in business and win,

206
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 6: but like I also have a team that I need

207
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 6: to show right, for right, absolutely, and like no one.

208
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 6: The thing I love about wrestling is no one can

209
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 6: get out there and wrestle my match. No one can

210
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 6: get into business, into the ring of business and and

211
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 6: rustle business like you can't move, like there's only one

212
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 6: of your there's only one of Tony. Well, then like

213
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 6: collectively we sit here like as wrestlers scrappy. Oh, I

214
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 6: like what Tony just did right there. I'm going to

215
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 6: go apply that to my game and I'm going to

216
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 6: put more points on the board for all of us.

217
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, moves, encounter moves moving.

218
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's it in business, right, you get the

219
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: ups and downs, you get hit, you get, you fall down.

220
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 4: You know, when we talk about business, and before we

221
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: get to the part where you're making millions and you're

222
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: helping other people make millions, I always like to talk

223
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 4: about the losses too, right, because I think people don't

224
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 4: get that enough with the gurus or the mentors, because

225
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 4: everybody wants to talk about the flash. Their Instagram's all

226
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: the good shit, show me the bad shit, right, And

227
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 4: one of the things that really endeared me to you

228
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 4: was you weren't shy about that. You're very open about it.

229
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 4: In fact that the very first event that I was

230
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 4: at with you, it costs about seventy thousand a year

231
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: to be.

232
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 5: A member of it.

233
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 4: Seventy five seventy five excuse me, when I got a

234
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: discount that's Middle Eastern in me, I negotiate it. So

235
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 4: we're we're at this event, and you know, he stands

236
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 4: up front and he tells us about his worst times,

237
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 4: and it's kind of an entertaining story. And I usually

238
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 4: don't like to bring up the past, but I think

239
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: this leads into the future. Tell us who Ferrari Nick was?

240
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 6: Legend of Ferrari Nick. Yeah, he's a guy that I like,

241
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 6: I've buried a long time ago, but we resurrect him

242
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 6: and you know, kind of show them around like weekend

243
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 6: at Bernie's, just to like, you know, entertain people. So

244
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 6: straight out yeah, yeah, So Ferrari Nick was that straight

245
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 6: out of Chino nine or nine kid that had a

246
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 6: massive chip on his shoulder that that made it right.

247
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 6: And and as I say, I was financially free, yet

248
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 6: I was emotionally bankrupt. And and for those of you

249
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 6: that are out there that are listening right now, they say, like,

250
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 6: when I have money, then I will and then you

251
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 6: fill in the blank. I'll be fulfilled. I'll have more

252
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 6: time for my wife, I'll spend more time with my children,

253
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 6: I'll work out or whatever. I promise you you won't. Yeah,

254
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 6: And and I promise you, like money is going to create.

255
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 6: Having money is going to create a myriad of problems

256
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 6: that you don't know exist, that are being masked with

257
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 6: your hope of someday it won't be there because I'll

258
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 6: have money.

259
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 5: Right.

260
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 6: And so I was financially free, yet I was emotionally bankrupt.

261
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 6: And so this this, this, this counterpart, this alter ego,

262
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 6: you know, as I call him Ferrari nick man, he

263
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 6: was he was like God, my light was still in there,

264
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 6: but it was just covered up with like a lot

265
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 6: of falsities. Right, And so I had this crazy, god

266
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 6: awful foxhawk, a bright red Ferrari blingy watches, a pocket

267
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 6: full of cash and a hole of my soul man like.

268
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 6: And because like I thought when I arrived at this

269
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 6: certain place, that the streets would be paved with gold,

270
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 6: and that like I would have this you know, wisdom

271
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 6: reigning down from heaven and the truth I wasn't man.

272
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 6: And so in fact, that's a fair question and being

273
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 6: completely vulnerable. My beautiful wife Nicole, who were about to

274
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 6: celebrate ten years on thank you onno baby, thank you,

275
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 6: thank you for allowing me to do what I do.

276
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 6: Like she was, she was in my life, you know,

277
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 6: and in humble beginnings, and as the business took off

278
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 6: like I took off on her, I literally I went

279
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 6: on a business trip and I never came home like

280
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 6: like that.

281
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 5: It went on a business binge.

282
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then that that kind of like that kind

283
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 6: of douche douche baggery, you know, And it is because

284
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 6: I got I was getting a lot of false positives,

285
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 6: and especially like Orange County, California, like driving a red Ferrari,

286
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 6: I had to Blackliday hurted out range over at the house.

287
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 6: We're popping bottles and models like all on the weekends.

288
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 6: And I had a lot of what I call friends

289
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 6: friend acquaintances, like they weren't quite friends, and they were

290
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 6: like a little bit more than acquaintances, Like they didn't

291
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 6: know the color of my eyes, but they definitely knew

292
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 6: the color of my money, my money, because every time

293
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 6: the bill came, it got passed my way, you know,

294
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 6: and so like you know, my priorities were just all

295
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 6: out of whack man, and so I was just running

296
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 6: a muck.

297
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 3: Any of those guys still around.

298
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 6: The real ones are yeah, the real ones are yeah,

299
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 6: like uh yeah.

300
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were out on your hands. How many from

301
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 5: that era, though, right?

302
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: Because when when when that that plane crashes, all those

303
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,359
Speaker 4: people are gone and nobody's.

304
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 5: There to pay the check.

305
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 6: Absolutely, But you know, I'll tell you what, the most

306
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 6: important one that that came back is my wife, you know,

307
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 6: because like I wouldn't have anything if it were her

308
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 6: for her, you know, And what happened is actually, like

309
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 6: in that era, I was just like seeking, Like I

310
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 6: was just seeking, seeking, seeking, It's like, wow, damn this

311
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 6: this this is not doing it. That is not doing it.

312
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 6: This is not doing it. I'm talking, we're flying private,

Speaker 6: three generations children, great grandchildren and great grandchildren like he had.

335
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 6: He had six kids, five of which were still alive,

336
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 6: and they were all standing around and I'm like, I

337
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 6: had this like out of body moment. I'm holding his

338
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 6: hand and he's like he's catatonic. You know, he's literally

339
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 6: the catatonic. He's septic. I mean, he's moments away from

340
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 6: passing away. And we were waiting for my aunt to

341
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 6: get there, and it was the last of his kids

342
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 6: to arrive. You know, She's coming from northern California. And

343
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 6: she got there and she said, Dad, I'm here, and

344
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 6: he'd like he like opened his eyes and he starts

345
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 6: like he starts, you know, like trying to speak, and like,

346
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 6: I just lost it, dude. I walked down. I'm like,

347
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 6: fell to my knees. I'm like, what am I doing?

348
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 6: Like I got nothing, Dude. If I walk out of

349
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 6: this place right now and I get hit by a bus,

350
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 6: there's no trace of me. Just like some funny stories.

351
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 6: And some people are show up at my funeral that

352
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 6: don't even really know me, and and and I clapped

353
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 6: in the arms of this woman who barely knew me,

354
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 6: and I was just like, damn. So, my grandpa used

355
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 6: to like to drink gin, like he loved it, man.

356
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 6: And every day he say the flag is up, you know,

357
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 6: and and and he'd pour himself. He'd pour himself a gin.

358
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 6: It got earlier and earlier as he got older and older, which, like,

359
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 6: you know, I crack up that. So I went home

360
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 6: and I bought a bottle of gin, and I poured

361
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 6: one for him, and and I poured one for me.

362
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 6: I was kind of watching the ice melt and the

363
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 6: beads of water, you know, sweat on the glass, and

364
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 6: I was crying more tears than that. That thing was,

365
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 6: you know, sweating, sweating, and and uh, I just I

366
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 6: started thinking, like, it's funny how death gives you like

367
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 6: a total perspective of life, right, And I felt like

368
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 6: even though I was alive, I was I was amongst

369
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 6: the walking dead. And so I just started thinking about

370
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 6: my life and going back to these moments where life

371
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 6: was the most pure, the most humble, and like all

372
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 6: reds all roads led to Nicole, Ah, my wife. I

373
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 6: was like, damn, damn it, dude. Like and my grandpa, like,

374
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 6: he met a lot of women that I that I dated.

375
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 6: I used to thought think it was like this machismo

376
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 6: thing to march them through. And we had these these

377
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 6: family Sunday dinners and he'd always sit at the head

378
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 6: and I'd sit at the corner of the table because

379
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 6: I'm left hand and I want to be as close

380
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 6: to him as possible. And uh, he met lots of women,

381
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 6: and he met Nicole and like, dude, he was like

382

00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 6: could see the polarity and polarization.

389
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,280

Speaker 6: her physically ran into her three times in the next

426
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 6: like sixty days, like walking.

00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,160

429
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 6: Like I ran into her, but like that moment of vulnerability, right,

430
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 6: like it's just cracked that like steel case hardened like

431
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 6: safe that she put over her heart with when it

432
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 6: came to me. And with a lot of work and

433
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 6: a lot of you know, pivots and and you know,

434
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 6: not attacks, but moves and counter moves. You know, we

00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,760

00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: here with my man Nick Long. Nick, you kind of

467
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 4: left us all in tears. It's rare that I see

468
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: Blue with his up and he's getting tissues. But I

469
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 4: appreciate you being vulnerable, man, And I think that's something

470
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 4: that I've always made a goal for this audience. For me,

471
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 4: at least, it's something that the guys bring out of

472
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 4: their guests, and it's something that I've learned. But I've

473
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 4: learned that has the most impact because there's somebody sitting

474
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: at home right now that's probably doing some douchebaggery.

475
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 5: That's probably got a red Ferrari everybody.

476
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 3: Everybody has this skelaship, let's be honest, you know.

477
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 4: But I think they needed to hear that story and

478
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 4: sometimes that, you know, through death, beautiful things can happen.

479
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 4: You know, it does have a bigger meaning. And I

480
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 4: hadn't even heard that story. I hadn't heard that the

481
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 4: depth of that, So I do appreciate it.

482
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 3: Well. I want to chime in because you know, I

483
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 3: think it resonated really well with me because you know,

484
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 3: I have a very similar story. And my dad died

485
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 3: in that same VA hospital in Long Beach. Is that what?

486
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 6: Yeah?

487
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And we sat there and did that

488
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 3: same you know rollout. You know, I went through the

489
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 3: same thing when my pop's right there in that same hospital,

490
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 3: and it was very difficult, man.

491
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 4: And you're not saved your life too, And yeah, said,

492
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 4: you've always told me. Sorry to cut you off, but

493
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 4: you always used to tell me. Man.

494
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 5: My dad the last words were, hey.

495
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: You know you know legal, Yeah, you know, you know

496
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 3: how to do it, but do it the right way.

497
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 7: I'm like, what's the right It's like, you'll figure it out,

498
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 7: get it done, you know, but I think it's it's

499
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 7: interesting because when you're saying that, I was just thinking

500
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 7: so much about how those parallel conversations and I was

501
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 7: having myself at.

502
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: That moment, I think you were having as well. And

503
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 3: for you it was your grandfather. For me, it was

504
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 3: my father and he died at a very young age.

505
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: And and I think that, you know, this goes back

506
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: to a lot of people wanting to live in the

507
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 3: excitement and not living the journey, you know, I mean,

508
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 3: most people are just looking for the excitement, they're looking

509
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 3: for the fix. They're looking for the fucking answers through sex, drugs, money, alcohol,

510
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: or mischievousness or manipulation or all these other things. When

511
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 3: when I believe that the journey that they're actually in

512
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 3: is what they wanted to live. And and you're, you know,

513
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 3: you're not as a as a youngster, I think you

514
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: start to think, well, you know, I'm you know, I

515
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 3: want to be this or I wanted that. But you

516
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 3: are already those things, right, you just haven't announced it

517
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 3: to the world that so they don't believe you either, exactly.

518
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 3: You know, you don't believe yourself, so the world doesn't

519
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 3: believe you, and you know, it's one of those things.

520
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: You know, as I speak about myself and I say, hey, look,

521
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: you know, I'm fortunate to have these things. It's it's

522
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 3: not that that I have these things, it's that I

523
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 3: imagined these things and my you know, and I. You know,

524
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: once your mind expands from its original form, it will

525
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 3: never come back, you know. And I and I often

526
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: say that to people so they understand that, you know,

527
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 3: you have to have an imagination. And I think most people,

528
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 3: you know, we're taught at a very young age too.

529
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: You know, you can't do that. You're being unrealistic. And

530
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 3: I and I often tell people do the opposite, because

531
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 3: wealthy people were very unrealistic people. We have unrealistic lifestyles,

532
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: We do unrealistic things, and it's hard for people to

533
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 3: get that. You know, you have to live in it,

534
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 3: you have to. And then even the people around you

535
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 3: sometimes don't believe it because they're so caught up in

536
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 3: like you know, they see your little mistakes, they see

537
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: your little actions. They know you're human too, and you

538
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 3: allow them to be comfortable. But I think there's that

539
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 3: shift in your life when you're just like, okay, well,

540
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 3: one day you'll get what I've done to be here.

541
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 3: Why the people respond a certain way, and and and

542
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: it's and it's I don't have to tell them. You

543
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 3: have to tell the people around you the most. And

544
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 3: it's like by telling them you almost it doesn't work.

545
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 3: So it has to be natural. And I think that

546
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: you know, you come in here, you know with us,

547
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: And it's been like I think this is the second

548
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: third time you've been to time I have been here

549
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 3: trying to do a show, and we haven't even been

550
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 3: able to do a show because we geek out together.

551
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 6: We just keep it almost happened today.

552
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 5: We look at that.

553
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 3: Time like damn, and and and but but I feel

554
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 3: like we we've made a lot of quick steps and

555
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 3: a lot of progress, a lot of progress, and.

556
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 6: That progress is actually built on what just happened here,

557
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 6: which was the vulnerability. Right, That's how you kick this

558
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 6: whole segment off, which is open book, and that vulnerability.

559
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 6: And I was having a moment. You both were having

560
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 6: a moment, and you were reliving that thing. And and

561
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 6: so through this, like you and I have connected in

562
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 6: a way that's going to be hard to unweave. Right,

563
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 6: So now we could go into whatever it is that

564
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 6: we're going to do together. We're gonna do some big

565
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 6: shit and like yeah, and we're going to have that

566
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 6: connection the same way I reconnected with Nicole right was

567
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 6: was was through that vulnerability. Like men especially are taught

568
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 6: that vulnerability is a weakness. And I said, no, no, no, no,

569
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 6: it's a weapon. It's a weapon of connection. And that's

570
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 6: where I've.

571
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 4: Made Sometimes it's not even needing anything, wanting anything. And

572
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 4: I think I share this with you last time. But

573
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 4: you know, Nick and I really close. Dire'd a lot

574
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,239
Speaker 4: of good things. Nothing bad happens, it's just life goes on.

575
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 4: He's got kids.

576
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 5: I don't.

577
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 4: I was relaunching some platforms and it's been about two

578
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 4: years since I've met him. And the only reason he

579
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 4: came into the studio the third time ago, right he

580
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 4: sent me a video. It was a thirty second video.

581
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 4: He's like, hey, man, it's actually him and Brian who's

582
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 4: here in the studio. And he said, hey, we're thinking

583
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 4: about you. We're proud of what you're doing. We saw

584
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 4: you on the show. We love you. Let us know

585
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 4: if there's anything we can do to provide you any value.

586
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 4: It was as simple as that. Guys and the bond

587
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 4: that you guys have. Now this not get broken and

588
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 4: commisia being it's all these little instances in life and

589
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 4: all it takes is that one moment, that one connection.

590
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 4: But again, how many dudes send like FaceTime videos to

591
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 4: other dudes just tell my hey man, I love you,

592
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 4: I'm proud of you.

593
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 6: I do I do it on the daily man.

594
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 4: Like, if you have no takeaway from the show today

595
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 4: that one little thing relationship equity could give you relationships

596
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 4: relationship not quote on relationships. Some of the guys here

597
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 4: have been quoting.

598
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, So relationship equity is like the the most undervalued

599
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 6: like thing that entrepreneurs human beings. Just forget entrepreneurs for

600
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 6: a minute, but especially entrepreneurs human beings. They devalue relationship

601
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 6: equity everything. Like the reason you're sitting here, the reason

602
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 6: I'm sitting here is all through relationship equity. People talk

603
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 6: about your network is your net worth? Well, your your

604
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 6: your network is only as good as what you invest

605
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 6: into it, you know, and so love relationships. Business. It's

606
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 6: like a bank like Chase, Chase Bank, that's where I bank.

607
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 6: I can you know, log in, I can not go

608
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 6: into Chase and physically withdraw more than I've put into

609
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 6: Chase Bank, Like I can write a bad check and

610
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 6: it will get overdrawn, it will assess more fees, and

611
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 6: eventually it will be closed down and I'll be booted

612
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 6: from Chase forever. Right on the flip side, if I

613
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 6: put money in there, and I put my money to work,

614
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 6: my money, and I keep making deposit, it compounds over time,

615
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 6: and if and when I need to make a withdrawal,

616
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 6: it is readily there for me. Relationships are the same way,

617
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 6: like as you deposit into these relationships, yeah, you know,

618
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 6: it compounds in nature, and then I'm gonna need a

619
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 6: withdrawal at some point, you know I'm gonna need Yeah.

620
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you put a lot of work and effort into.

621
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 6: It, exactly, but more importantly, like you know, people in

622
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 6: my world are gonna need to withdraw, and I'm gonna

623
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 6: let them draft from that, you know, but I'm I'm

624
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 6: not gonna let them draft more than they've actually put in.

625
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 6: And the people that do those are called takers, right,

626
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 6: And those takers overdraw, they assess you know, different penalties

627
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 6: and things that that that compound and then you're shut

628
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 6: off forever.

629
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 4: And you know, to follow on the bank analogy. It's

630
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: not that you get shut off from that bank, but

631
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 4: you get shut off from other banks exactly.

632
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 6: You get you get you get blackballed. Yeah, So relationship

633
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 6: equity is the greatest equity that anybody can go out

634
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 6: and curate. Right, we're all chasing down like I'm in

635
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 6: the equity markets, Like I'm in the market of teaching

636
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 6: entrepreneurs how to build equitable businesses enterprise value right as

637
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 6: they as they call it in our world. But like that,

638
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 6: the greatest equity is that's built is in the relationships,

639
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 6: the relationship with your partners, the relationship with your potential clients,

640
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 6: of relationships with investors, like they're there. People do business

641
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 6: with people, and and and people are the ones that create,

642
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 6: you know, the business. And what people don't understand is

643
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 6: that enterprise value is something it's part of something bigger

644
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 6: called eternal value. Right, Like the fact that like you're

645
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 6: talking about your dad, I'm talking about my grandfather.

646
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 3: It's a big connection and that.

647
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 6: Whole thing they're still alive today because there's five million

648
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 6: people from your show your Dad saying do it right, son,

649
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 6: You're doing it right now. You're reaching everybody, not everybody

650
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 6: but reaching the right people and they're hearing that story

651
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 6: about your dad. Yeah, and so imagine that your that's

652
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 6: your dad's eternal value.

653
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't die till the last person says your

654
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: name exactly, you know. And and I literally look at

655
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: that and say, you know, some of the best time

656
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: travelers and are artists and people that have created these songs.

657
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you hear whether it's Elvis Presny

658
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: Tupac or or whoever you know, Kenny Rogers, any of

659
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: these guys that have passed that song comes on, we

660
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: start singing it. We're still living it, you know, and

661
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 3: they're still live. They're still live to us, they're still

662
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 3: live to the world. And that's only that that's almost

663
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: in a much more physical form, let alone the spiritual right, absolutely,

664
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: because there's a spiritual form as well.

665
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 4: You mentioned private Equity, and you know, obviously we met

666
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 4: in that world back when I wasn't in that game.

667
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 4: And one of the unique things that you did at

668
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 4: your event, and it was a believe it was a

669
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: two day event, if I'm not mistake, three day, excuse me.

670
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 4: At that event, the first day of blue he we

671
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 4: show up and usually it's suit and ties Private Equity

672
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 4: was a bougie spot Newport and he says, no, show

673
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 4: up in jim clothes. He takes us out. He brought

674
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 4: an avy co. He kicks our ass in the sand.

675
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 4: We're carrying buckets of sand in Newport Beach.

676
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 5: All these people are looking at what the fuck are

677
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 5: these thirty of us?

678
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 4: And and you know, I've done like two push ups

679
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 4: in my life at that point, so I crushed it

680
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 4: more push ups because there's something about that community around you,

681
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 4: having this bond. And I think at some point he

682
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 4: broke most of us down into tears of where the fuck,

683
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 4: like he had some kung fu powers. Due this dude does,

684
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 4: and he comes at you from an angle to where

685
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 4: it's not just about money. I mean, we've we're halfway

686
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 4: through the show on Financial Fridays, and we're more interested

687
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 4: in your life story. And for somebody who's listening at

688
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 4: home right now, is this guy a motivational speaker?

689
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 5: Did he make his money?

690
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 6: What do dude besides crying.

691
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 5: Thank you?

692
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 3: Dropping cry? I love that. No.

693
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 6: But the thing is Tony, And like the cool thing

694
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 6: is is like I got to see you, Yeah, I

695
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 6: got to see Tony, Like who hadn't done pushups in

696
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 6: quite a while. But I saw I saw the real Tony,

697
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,959
Speaker 6: Like when when threshold comes, where does Tony go? And

698
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 6: Tony went beyond threshold and Tony pushed and he motivated

699
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 6: other people and he locked arms with people. And that's

700
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 6: the guy that I want to do business with. That's

701
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 6: the guy that when shit gets tough, is gonna be there.

702
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,479
Speaker 5: I have very distinct memories of that.

703
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 4: There was a there was a gentleman there that was

704
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 4: really heavier set, and we had to run to the

705
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: beach from his office and we're running, obviously the heavier

706
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 4: set guy is and he says, hey, there's going to

707
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 4: be a price for whoever gets there for he said something,

708
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 4: but you were thinking to win pays to win, right,

709
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 4: So we're all going and Lord looking back and the

710
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 4: big dudes like he's still trying to keep up, but

711
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 4: he's just big, and he said something to the front guy.

712
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 4: He's like, what the fuck are you doing? Like that

713
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 4: dude's part of you, Like, you're not gonna win if

714
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 4: he doesn't win. So we went back and hyping each

715
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 4: other up, and that dude ended up doing more planks

716
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 4: than like the big buff guy you know what I'm saying.

717
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: So there's something about that man, and I'll never forget

718
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 4: that and that you know at this point being a mastermind,

719
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 4: junkias you call it. I've seen it all. I've seen

720
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 4: the good, I've seen the bad. I've had some of

721
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 4: my mentors on the show. But what I experienced that

722
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 4: was something I've never seen before. And did you learn

723
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 4: that somewhere? Is that something new just as it a

724
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 4: superpower or a gift or how did you get that?

725
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 6: I would say, like like d all of the above

726
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 6: and then some. So I think I've definitely been blessed

727
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 6: like with this ability to connect. I've had an innate

728
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 6: ability to connect with people on a humanistic level. I'm

729
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 6: a good connector of ideas, opportunities, visions, you know, I

730
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 6: see in pictures that type of thing. But no, I've

731
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 6: I've actually like worked on this. And I had a mentor,

732
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 6: Garrett Ja White, and I went through an experience called

733
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 6: Warrior Week and it was about just kind of like

734
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 6: awakening that inner warrior. Like if this were like you know,

735
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 6: three thousand years ago, right, we would we would be

736
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 6: forced to like be a warrior or be a worker.

737
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 5: Like the end like there would be two choices.

738
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, and the Warriors were the most

739
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 6: like coveted. And so somewhere along the line in the

740
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 6: society of like you know, of of invention and comfort,

741
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 6: we get comfortable, like in our own bullshit, and we

742
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 6: let ourselves go. And so I went through this process.

743
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 6: I fell in love with this process because I was

744
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 6: two hundred and fifteen pounds when I arrived at Warrior Week.

745
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 6: That wasn't the NC double, A wrestler that wasn't and

746
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 6: so the physical weight that I was carrying was only

747
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 6: an iceberg manifestation of the emotional weight that I was

748
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 6: carrying beneath the surface. And for the first time since

749
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 6: my NC doublea wrestling career, I felt alive. I felt

750
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 6: like a freaking warrior. I felt like I had a team.

751
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 6: I felt like I had brothers. And when I arrived,

752
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 6: I was doing three million a year. One year later

753
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 6: I went to seven and a half. The next year

754
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 6: I went to fifteen. The next year I went to thirty.

755
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 6: I started a second business that went to thirty. So

756
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 6: nothing changed. In fact, business got more complex. I just

757
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 6: got strong. The business man was able to achieve the

758
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 6: business plan, not the other way around. Yea, I like

759
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 6: that the business man was able to achieve a more

760
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 6: complex business plan, not the other way around.

761
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I think a lot of people, you know,

762
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 3: are looking for the quick fix, the everything's all easy

763
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: and breezy, you know. And I feel like you got

764
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 3: to run a lot of fucking laps. You make a

765
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 3: lot of mistakes, and and then when you're good at things,

766
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 3: you know, use your special power because like you know,

767
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 3: like I, I have a lot of great friends that

768
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 3: do a lot of great things, and I utilize them.

769
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 3: And and a lot of people expect, although they may

770
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 3: see the finish line that I did it all, it

00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 3: I won't do it. I promise. And then like you know,

789
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 3: the next day, we get a call from Big like

790
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 3: someone just offered me twelve grand to come do the show.

791
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I guess take the money, you know

792
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 3: what I mean? And he was like, but I was

793
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 3: gonna come hook you guys up. But now that he

794
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 3: did do the company, I gotta take it. Yeah, And

795
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, I don't want you to not take it,

796
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 3: like I want to give you fifty racks, you know

797
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 3: what I mean. But like he had already had the

798
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 3: conversation like I'm coming through. I'm gonna hop up on

799
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 3: stage support you guys. I'm gonna do the thing. And

800
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 3: when we got there, we were like, yo, we wanted

801
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 3: to give you the ten racks anyways, you know. But

802
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 3: but it was more about like he was coming because

803
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,959
Speaker 3: you know, and and and truthfully, that man costs fifty

804
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 3: or one hundred grand. And the only reason he even

805
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 3: let it go down that low it was because he

806
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 3: already knew that we were already talking to him and

807
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 3: that someone was going around and he didn't want to

808
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 3: get it in a pickle to where you know, the

809
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 3: big label was like, yo, they're going to pay fifty racks.

810
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 3: They're gonna pay fifty grand or one hundred grand. And

811
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 3: then you're but so he's just like, I'll do it

812
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 3: for ten and and and they were even at the label,

813
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 3: they were looking at iHeart, They're like, what you're gonna

814
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 3: do it for ten grand? Like this dude does stuff

815
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: for Disney one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, shows up

816
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,959
Speaker 3: and hangs out at Disneyland and just hosts the Disneyland event.

817
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 3: You know, he don't need to do a little concert,

818
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 3: you know.

819
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 6: For Tank grand for Tank, but does it because he

820
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 6: has the relationship back there.

821
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 3: Yeah. And luckily, luckily, you know, we kind of caught

822
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 3: it in the in the in the pause pattern because

823
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 3: it went up to this person we have so many

824
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 3: contacts and they're calling us like yo, dude, somebody's calling

825
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 3: us and telling them they're going to pay them, and

826
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 3: it's like cool. And really it wasn't that we were

827
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 3: trying to get around iHeart, or they were trying to

828
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 3: get around. It was just that like people sometimes they

829
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 3: see outside of that vision and they want to help,

830
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 3: I think, and sometimes they're helping is actually hurting. Yeah, yeah,

831
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 3: and it's unfortunate and and so that's why I'm constantly

832
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 3: in that same zone where I just man, if I'm

833
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 3: gonna talk about you know, like this guy's a financial wizard, dude,

834
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 3: I've I've had a lot of really good conversations with

835
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 3: them on it, and I'm like, oh, man, he knows

836
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: a lot about finances. I'm here listening to you, and

837
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, I don't want to play in your arena.

838
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 3: But when it comes down to him, like Nick, you know,

839
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 3: talk to this guy, let's let's have.

840
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 6: A collaborate and dominate. Yeah, but you collaborate and you

841
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 6: dominate with the deposits of relationship equity, right, Like I

842
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 6: was able to borrow trust, your trusting Tony, and all

843
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 6: the deposits that that he has made into you. He

844
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 6: loaned me that by edifying me to you. Therefore we're

845
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 6: on our third meeting talking about ship. That's like I'm

846
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 6: going to blow the doors off of anything that I

847
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 6: could individually do. Sure that you could individually do, and

848
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 6: Tony can, but collectively that law of alchemy one plus one.

849
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 6: I mean, it's like right now that the digits are

850
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 6: just but more important than the digits is the amount

851
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 6: of people that we're going to impact along the way.

852
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 4: I was telling partner shows you know there's three of us,

853
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 4: or if there's four of us, one plus one plus

854
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 4: one cannot equal three, then it's a shitty part. Right,

855
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 4: there has to be a multiple, there has to be

856
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 4: an adding effect. We're going to take a break right now.

857
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 4: But when we get back. You became a warrior. Yes,

858
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 4: you got your wife, you got rid of the shitty car.

859
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 4: But now we want to hear what's coming up with

899
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 4: Friday five. I want to let you just briefly speak

900
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 4: because obviously you have this high level thing where you

901
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 4: work with and briefly what it is. It's you, quite frankly,

902
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 4: you teach people how to exit. So people that have

903
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 4: a normal company thinking the exit at exit, if you

904
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 4: show them, look, what do you think you're worth today?

905
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 4: If you could sell ten million boom, I'm going to

906
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 4: show you how to get to fifty and let me

907
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 4: prove it to you.

908
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 5: That's number one.

909
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 4: Number two I think most entrepreneurs. If you're an entrepreneur

910
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 4: right now, or if you're a real entrepreneur, if you

911
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 4: have a company or you think you want a company,

912
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 4: I'm going to ask you this. If you started it,

913
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 4: you've got to start it with an exit in mind.

914
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 4: Otherwise you just buy yourself a job.

915
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 5: You guys.

916
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 4: I cannot stress that enough. There's people in a studio

917
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 4: audience right now that have can testify to this, been

918
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 4: to your events, and I tell you, I can't tell

919
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 4: you how many people I meet. It's like, dude, what

920
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 4: do you think you're worth?

921
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 5: I don't know. So what are you doing this for?

922
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 5: You know?

923
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 4: So that's something that you have a skill set for.

924
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 4: It's a superpower that's for people that have it. And

925
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 4: I going to let you speak about that, But then

926
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 4: I also want you to kind of talk about the

927
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 4: nick long that's developed here, who's becoming this online sensation.

928
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 4: I've heard you on the top podcast business podcasts in

929
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 4: the world right now. Dan Fleischman's our good friend, and

930
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 4: to see you on there it just warmed my heart

931
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 4: because I know you have a power. You've been giving

932
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 4: it to us, you know, at the top and business owners.

933
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 4: But I think you're kind of giving it to the

934
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 4: masses now, right, And I think that's needed your authenticity

935
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 4: and your skill set. So give us a kind of

936
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 4: background what you're doing now.

937
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 6: But yeah, yeah, so I've been I just turned forty four,

938
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 6: and I've been an entrepreneur since I was like between

939
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 6: twenty and twenty one, so you know, like almost twenty

940
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 6: four years in the entrepreneurial game, which makes me a

941
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 6: basic dinosaur. All this salt and pepper and my beard

942
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 6: is like millions of dollars made, millions of dollars lost. Yeah,

943
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 6: and so you know, to steal blues line, Like, I'm

944
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 6: a time traveler, right, and and so I'm taking people

945
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 6: on my twenty four journey not to talk about my successes,

946
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 6: but to talk about where I messed up and what

947
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,959
Speaker 6: I failed, so I can save them from from from

948
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 6: doing that. Like I was on a call with the

949
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 6: high ticket client today and he's like, dude, you're you're

950
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 6: kind of like healing your own entrepreneurial wounds by preventing

951
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 6: it for others. I was like, damn, that's powerful, man,

952
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 6: that's powerful, right, And so like most I say, entrepreneurs

953
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 6: are the best prison architects in planet Earth, like they

954
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 6: literally erect architect, you know, build their own prison, lock

955
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 6: themselves into the cage, and they hold the key. And

956
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 6: they're the worst escape artists ever even though like they

957
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 6: know they built it, they didn't actually keep in. They

958
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 6: didn't look at where are all the exits? What are

959
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 6: all the outs? Right? And so most people know how

960
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 6: to get into business, very few know how to get out.

961
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 6: And the ones that know how to get out are

962
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 6: the ones that we scream and shout about, like these

963
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,760
Speaker 6: are the exitpreneurs. Like being an entrepreneur that was cool

964
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 6: ten years fifteen years ago. Being an exepreneur will put

965
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 6: you on stages and we'll build platforms long that lasts

966
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 6: long after you and that eternal value continuum. So I

967
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 6: am a guy that helps build predictable, profitable, scalable and

968
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 6: here's where people miss it, transferable and exitable businesses. And

969
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 6: I help them curate and create like generational wealth. But

970
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 6: at the same time, like as my dear friend Yayabakr says,

971
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 6: I help them cure their generational wounds and not perpetuate

972
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 6: it forward, like when I leave this earth, like my

973
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 6: kids can go back and listen to this show and

974
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 6: hear me talking about them, hear me talking about their

975
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 6: mother and the passion that I have about her whilst

976
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 6: I was making money, and their kids' kids don't have

977
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 6: to work, so they can say, like my dad did that,

978
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 6: My dad had vision. My dad knew that, like it

979
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 6: was beyond the enterprise he was building, and he was

980
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 6: building something that he was going to leave behind. Cause

981
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 6: anything that we do, we ain't taken with us. Give

982
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 6: it exactly right, exactly, so, Tony, to your point is,

983
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 6: you know, I've kind of been underground for a couple

984
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 6: of years, like really just figuring out, like you know,

985
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 6: where people go wrong in the game of private equity,

986
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 6: where people go wrong in the game of scale to sell,

987
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 6: and really like where they go wrong is the man

988
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 6: in the mirror moment, right, and they don't recognize who

989
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 6: they are, what they're worth, what they want, and where

990
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 6: they're going. They we live in this insta like society.

991
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 6: Instagram like it has has has perpetuated it and exacerbated it,

992
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 6: like to the nth degree where it's like how quickly

993
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 6: can I get to the lanmdbell, How quickly can I

994
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 6: get to you know, the blingy shit? How quickly can

995
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 6: people like like, like what I'm doing even though I

996
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 6: don't like myself because I was that guy that's Ferrari

997
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 6: nick right, And I'm like, no, like, have some delayed gratification,

998
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 6: and let's build with the end in mind, and you

999
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 6: will never have to go back to the mind. The

1000
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 6: mind will mind itself, meaning you will have a bank.

1001
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 6: Most entrepreneur shoot their business like a like an ATM.

1002
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,919
Speaker 6: How much money can I pull out and how much

1003
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 6: money can I go spend and perpetuate whatever proverbial fucked

1004
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 6: up lifestyle like I think I want rather than take

1005
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 6: a step back, take the blinders off and go, oh

1006
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 6: my god, ATM, that ATM, that ATM. They're all connected

1007
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 6: to banks. And the banks are the ones that are

1008
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 6: the real leverage, the real institution, the real money and

1009
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 6: the compounding interest. And the bank is the same thing

1010
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 6: I talked about, which is the relationship bank. And it's

1011
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 6: the bank that you that you invest into yourself, which

1012
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 6: becomes like the physical manifestation of your reality. Like and

1013
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 6: so like I've been working with the massive right and

1014
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 6: turning them into like massive giants and curating you know,

1015
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 6: hundreds of millions of dollars of liquidity and exits. Right,

1016
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 6: but like we're now circling back, like creating an execution

1017
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 6: platform and helping people understand that, Like I'm not just

1018
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 6: talking about this business. You need to start with the

1019
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 6: end of mind, like you know, it's called the next

1020
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 6: ninety like like ninety years, Like who the hell are

1021
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 6: you going to be and what are you going to

1022
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 6: leave for the next ninety and what can you do

1023
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 6: in the next ninety days and the next ninety days

1024
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 6: after that? And like literally look at the eternal value

1025
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 6: you want to create and use your enterprise value to

1026
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 6: fuel that Churches, charities, communities, like children, whatever it is,

1027
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 6: Like it takes fucking money and it takes a lot

1028
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 6: of it, right, And so a lot of people are

1029
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 6: missing this sector. They just want to get into business,

1030
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 6: and most of them that get into business want the

1031
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 6: hell out of that business because they created their own prison.

1032
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 6: And I'm about liberation, Like you guys are strapping yourself

1033
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 6: into your entrepreneurial electric chair, and I'm like, no, no, no, like,

1034
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 6: don't do that, Like let's let's let's let's get out

1035
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 6: of this and let's not create a prison, man, Let's

1036
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 6: create a platform that can change, like your life and

1037
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 6: other people's lives and the way.

1038
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 3: Have you heard the story of the Chinese bamboo?

1039
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 6: Yes, about how it takes five years to create.

1040
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 3: The certain it's a three year process. But you know,

1041
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 3: it's interesting because you know.

1042
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 5: I don't know about it.

1043
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 3: You don't know the story. No, okay, So so what

1044
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 3: it is is basically it's maybe three or five years.

1045
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. Don't quote me on it, but you know, yeah,

1046
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 3: So there's this there's this Asian guy in China and

1047
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 3: he's you know, he's watering this patch of dirt every

1048
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 3: single day, and the kids are walking by, like, hey,

1049
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 3: mister Timmy whatever, you know, they forget his name, but whatever,

1050
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 3: how you doing. He's like hey, and he's watering it.

1051
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 3: And it's like the kids are walking by and like

1052
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 3: year one, they're like, dude, he's been watering that thing

1053
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 3: every single day for the last year and it might

1054
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 3: be five years and even right, so he's like for

1055
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 3: and then and then he's watering it. And then at

1056
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 3: first they walk by and they're like, you know, they're yeah,

1057
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 3: they start teasing them, you know, and then it's year two,

1058
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 3: and then it goes into year three and they're like

1059
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 3: they're like this guy's crazy. He's still out everything because

1060
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 3: every day at the same time, you got to water

1061
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 3: this plant, right because if you don't it, we won't grow.

1062
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 3: And and every single day this Asian man is out there,

1063
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 3: Chinese man, he's out there watering this grass and I

1064
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 3: mean the dirt, and the kids are just like getting

1065
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 3: older and they're like throwing rocks at him and they're

1066
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 3: like clowning them. And then all of a sudden, one

1067
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 3: day it comes out of the ground and grows one

1068
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 3: hundred feet tall. And one day it's true story.

1069
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 6: It's yeah more or less. Yeah, Like so like the

1070
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 6: rap at the rape, bamboo grows. It's it's astronomical.

1071
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just comes flying out of.

1072
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 6: The ground like it'll it'll.

1073
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 3: It's one of the most expensive bamboo, you know, trees

1074
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 3: in the world.

1075
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, And so that's what that's what a lot

1076
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 6: of people do. And I'm saying, hey, if you can

Speaker 6: be that Bamboosi, right, if you could be that Bamboosi,

1078
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 6: people will laugh. You know, you're not gonna get all

1079
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 6: the likes on Instagram throw at you, then call you

1080
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 6: crazy old Maurice, you know. But then like all of

1081
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 6: a sudden, you're gonna blossom, and you're gonna be bigger, taller,

1082
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 6: and you're gonna be able to cast shade and nourishment

1083
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 6: to these people that like, wow, they're going to be

1084
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 6: in all of you.

1085
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 5: That's what I say.

1086
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 4: He's been that bamboo plant because you know, he had

1087
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 4: this mediaoc rise. You heard this worry about his previous company.

1088
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 3: That well, that's what he reminds me of, like that

1089
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 3: guy that you have these people the watering stuff, and

1090
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 3: and and and without saying it, but people have great businesses,

1091
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 3: but they're inner circle. The people around them. Sometimes they're

1092
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 3: they're like, yeah, but you know, you're not that person

1093
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,479
Speaker 3: or you're not this, you know, and so their mind

1094
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 3: is like, damn, I'm stuck here, water in this this

1095
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 3: damn thing. And they know that they may not have

1096
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 3: an exit, you know. And and I think, you know,

1097
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 3: to Nick, his point is that, you know, he helps

1098
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 3: them understand how they get that bamboo tree.

1099
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 5: Out of that, because he's been that out of the

1100
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 5: five years ago.

1101
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 6: So you know, Blue. It's so funny because I always say,

1102
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 6: like we see this this valuation golden carrot, right, we

1103
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 6: hear about this person selling their company for this and

1104
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 6: this person selling comfor this. You think about a carrot, right,

1105
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 6: where does the carrot grow in the ground?

1106
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1107
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 6: Right? And I'm like, no, no, no, we need to unearth that.

1108
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 6: And the crazy thing is when you turn a carrot

1109
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,439
Speaker 6: upside down, it looks like what a rocket ship? Right,

1110
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 6: So that's my job is to like pull it out

1111
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 6: of the ground, turn it it's ass end, which mostly

1112
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 6: is the entrepreneurs sticking their head in the first.

1113
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 3: That's your analogy.

1114
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 6: Yes, that's the analogy.

1115
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 5: I use it.

1116
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 6: You talking about bamboo.

1117
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:11,760
Speaker 3: You're the guy that that you're watching all these people

1118
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 3: water their thing and you're like, dude, and you know it.

1119
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 3: You're like, hey, I know the bamboo trees another there,

1120
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 3: but let me help you get it out.

1121
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 6: And let me accelerate it fast for you, right, and

1122
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 6: let me let me tell you that you're you're not crazy.

1123
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 6: Because I had so many people tell me I'm crazy,

1124
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 6: so many people tell me, go get a job. So

1125
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 6: many people tell me like, dude, when are you going

1126
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 6: to stop like doing this this rise and fall, this

1127
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 6: rise and fall. And I was like, I may not,

1128
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 6: but every time I rise, I rise.

1129
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 5: To a whole level.

1130
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 6: And guess what I do. I take a whole lot

1131
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 6: of people with me, and I want you to be

1132
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:40,240
Speaker 6: one of them.

1133
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 4: Sure, And that's something that I think all of us

1134
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 4: have in common because when I look at your inner circle,

1135
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 4: you know, Brian being here, my favorite person that you

1136
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 4: had by you here and now seeing the new iteration

1137
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 4: of what you've been doing, or the improved iteration, if

1138
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 4: you will, seeing him with you, I was like, oh, dude,

1139
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 4: I'm so glad that he stuck with you. Looking at

1140
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 4: Jen and some of the crew you have here, obviously Joe,

1141
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 4: you know, going through COVID and you guys are want

1142
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 4: to stretch away from you. All these guys, all these guys,

1143
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 4: I mean, everybody here. You know, they become family. That's

1144
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 4: something you do. And I love you know. I knew

1145
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 4: this would happened because I knew we'd get you on.

1146
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 4: And we're gonna want to keep talking and talking and talking.

1147
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 4: We're gonna do something real quick before we leave. We

1148
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 4: have enough time, guys, I think, so we're gonna do

1149
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 4: something real quick, man, because everybody seems to love.

1150
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 3: I think it's like one thing before we start this

1151
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 3: real quick man. Have you heard of the bear of life?

1152
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 6: The bear of life?

1153
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? So the bear of life. Believe energy action results.

1154
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 3: When you believe in something, there's energy. With the energy,

1155
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 3: there's action, action, there's results, you know. And I think

1156
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 3: that you know, you're I could I'm so excited to

1157
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 3: work with you because I know your your standard and

1158
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 3: I know what your thought process is, and I understand

1159
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 3: why you're doing it now even more because you shared

1160
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 3: that with your about your grandfather. And then coincidentally, my

1161
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 3: father died in the same place, and I was just like, okay,

1162
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 3: and now and now all of a sudden, my whole like,

1163
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 3: I mean, already liked you, you know, and I was in it.

1164
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 3: I told him, you know, because before today, I was like,

1165
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 3: I don't even know what he does really, you know

1166
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 3: what I mean. But I mean, but but but I

1167
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 3: like the guy and I you know, and then we're

1168
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 3: like and and I could feel it though, because I

1169
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 3: was like, man, you're you're a mentor to people, you know,

1170
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 3: and and and it's as simple as that, you know,

1171
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 3: you give people a strategy, a way to to tenxt

1172
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 3: their companies, a way to to look at something differently

1173
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 3: that they haven't been looking at.

1174
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 5: Literally, I'm not even exaggerating.

1175
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I and I and I find it. I

1176
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 3: find it very you know, informational. When I listened to

1177
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 3: them and I'm like, damn, you know, you know we

1178
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 3: all need this, I don't, you know. And some people

1179
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 3: are like, oh, I'm not going to sell my company

1180
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 3: or you know.

1181
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 6: But that's that's the falsity, is that everybody's going to

1182
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,439
Speaker 6: exit like you're either most people run their business into

1183
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 6: the ground, or you build yourself out of a job,

1184
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 6: you hand it down to the next generation. You exit

1185
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 6: in the traditional sense, you scale and sell.

1186
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 5: Or you die.

1187
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 6: The only thing that's unavoidable is death. Everything else is

1188
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 6: a choice. And so we help you architect curate whatever

1189
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 6: exit you want, sure, but we try to teach you

1190
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 6: how to parlay those exits into generational wealth and generational health.

1191
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:10,200
