Every era has something, whether it was 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.800 you know, our people were protesting, whether it was fighting 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.600 for the right to vote, every era has something, but 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:57.000 no era ever had the capital to take them to 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.200 the next level. And I think what happens with y'all 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.160 all and with myself, we are now teaching people how 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:07.160 to get the capital to now make the change, because 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:08.960 I mean, I heard a lot of people feeling before 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.960 when I said this, and I said, man, nobody don't 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.320 care what the broke person at the table got to see. 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.480 You know what I'm saying. And I mean that from 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:19.960 a cultural standpoint, like the black culture is rich and consume, 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.800 wealthy and consumerism. But when we wonta sit down and 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.680 say this is what we want to do, Like how 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.120 much money y'all got found? You know what I'm saying, like, Okay, 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:32.960 y'all represent two point two trillion dollars, but that's consumerism. Yeah, 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.880 us do y'all have toward moving Okay, So now you say, okay, 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.599 we got two point two trillion dollars and now we 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.359 lobby in our vote. Now your vote means something. You 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.159 want the black vote, you want the brown vote. This 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.200 is how much money, what you're gonna do for us? 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.280 And now we bring ourselves to a position with money. 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.880 Now you got a hold, Now you really got a voice. 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.880 You know what I'm saying. So the Financial Literacy podcast, 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.240 what y'all bringing to the table, where I'm bringing, I 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.520 think that's what puts us in a situation. So now 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.000 because now we're gonna say, yo, we're not We're not 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.719 the number one consumers normal, we're the number one investor. 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.760 We represent two point two trillion capital, not money. 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.320 That's a fact. And I think shout out to Ian, 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:13.640 shout out to my brother Neo. 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.240 Want to check in real What you're saying is like 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.320 I remember Ian said that on market Monday.

You know, so. 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.320 Is us saying we all then been victims. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.520 You know. I posted something today and I said, tradition 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.080 is pure pressure by dead people. 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.840 You know what I'm saying. I like that say that again. 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.120 Tradition is pure pressure from dead people, you know what 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.240 I'm saying. And it's nothing against the people that came 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.960 before us. But the tradition that we fallen into is 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.720 ship that we done got from people that left before us. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.920 They didn't have access to the knowledge. Let me tell 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.039 you all a quick story that I read a while back. Man, 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.280 it's right quick. It said that for Thanksgiving, and I 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:46.520 mean for Christmas time, a great grandchild asked the mother 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.800 as a grand a grandchild asked the mother. A daughter 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.120 asked her mother, mom, why do you cut the ends 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:53.839 off the hand when you put it in the oven? 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.000 And a mama said, man, you know, my you know 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.280 your grandmother taught me that. So that the granddaughter went 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.400 to the grandmother and said, Grandma, like, why do you 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.120 cut the ends off of the hand? Why did my 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.599 mama cut the ends off of the ham when she 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.840 puts it in the oven? The grandmother said, my great 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.360 my grand my mother taught me that. Let's go asswer 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.600 she over here. So she went to the great grandmother 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.080 and said, great grandmother, why do you cut the ends 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:18.800 off of that? Why did my mama cut the ends 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.880 off of the ham when she put it in the oven? 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.520 She said, oh, because we didn't have. 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.000 The hand was too big for the pants we had, 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.160 so we had to cut the ham off to get 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.520 it in a pan. And so now we don't follow 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.600 the whole tradition where they don't waste it that you 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.280 feel what I'm saying, not knowing how that came about, 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.080 and you just following that tradition. So what happens is 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.920 now you know, oh, I can't get into debt what 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.400 like it's a such thing as good debt? 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.440 You know, I shouldn't have credit called learn how to 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:48.200 leverage credit? 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.360 You know? You know it's just a house is an asset? Well, 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.040 when does it become an asset? Like, learn that it's 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.760 not an asset until certain things happen, You feel what 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.640 I'm saying. So I think what happens is for us 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.000 we that's what so important about the time we a 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.520 right now again and what y'all doing as being the 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.480 front runners, bro, Like I appreciate y'all. Man, y'all the 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.280 front runner, you know what I'm saying, And we all 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.960 come together to push the culture one way, you know 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.600 what I'm saying. And if once we understand that, once 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.480 we understand the importance of the financial literacy, that's our 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.720 only hope. Man, you know what I'm saying. That's our 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.520 only hopes. Once we understand knowledge how to play that money, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.280 how to work that money, how to leverage that money, 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.480 how to leverage these banks, how to leverage the stock marke, 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.240 how to leverage credit, we become real dangerous right there. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.200 We're not dangerous because we can shoot guns. Yo. You 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:33.839 know what I'm saying. 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.320 We talked about our group chats, and we talked about 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.240 in the group chat, and it's a powerful group chat. 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.079 And it's like one of these days, man, I pray. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.079 I said, like, you know, this music is affecting a 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.720 lot of people, bro even myself.

And I pray, 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.559 I pray that these artists, these young artists, really realize 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.400 the power in their voice because like I said, even 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:00.920 to me, like I'm saying like not to say that 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.600 hip hop is gonna ruin my life, but I have 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.240 to detox myself from rap. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.400 And I love Wrap. I love Wrap with a passion. 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.280 But it's like these influences that you that you're putting in, 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.680 you're not really even realizing what you're actually doing. Like 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.680 I was out, I was in Manhattan yesterday, I was 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.560 at dinner and I'm sitting next to his table, and 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:19.560 it was like all white people. 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.559 This white guy. I kid you not. 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.000 It was like the craziest thing, because you know, I'm 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.679 ill hustling. I'm at dinner, but I'm ill hustling. So 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.040 the dude probably like in his twenties, like mid twenties, 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.320 and he's talking to some other people and he's like, 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:35.640 he literally said this. He said, I don't spend no money. 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.640 He said, I pay my rent groceries. Every single dollar 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.800 that I get after that goes to the stock market. 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.440 He said, I will spend no money. Then they start 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.840 talking about stocks. He started talking about et After that, 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:51.400 he said, every single discretionary dollar that I have goes 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.320 to the stock market. But that conversation was normal, Like 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.679 I'm listening to that conversation and they just randomly talking 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.959 like you know what I'm saying. So we have to 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.000 get normalized like that, and we have to understand that 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:05.600 for him to say that, right, And then I'm listening 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.520 to another podcast and I'm hearing a rapper and he 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.680 was saying the first hundred thousand dollars that he got 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.920 in life, the first one hundred thousand dollars that he 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.160 got in life, he gave his mom ten thousand, he 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.160 went to the jewelry store with the with the rest 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:18.520 and he was broke again. 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:19.880 And then another rapper. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.680 Was saying how he had a four hundred thousand dollars 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.640 tab at Gucci. So I'm like, how do you how 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.840 do you have a four hundred thousand dollars tab at Gucci? 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.640 You know what I'm saying. And it's like, we. 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.800 Gotta we gota. We gotta realize that this game is 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:41.680 being played. And we were pawns on the chessboard, like 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.960 poms on the chessboard, just being moved around. So you know, 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:50.160 the awakening and actually realizing financial literacy is life to death. Man, Like, 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.880 Like you know, we've had these conversations plenty of times 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.000 where there's plenty of people doing you know, jail time 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.640 for making decisions that it wasn't really even that much 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.400 money in the grand scheme of I was like, you 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.559 could you could have made that money in wholesaling, real 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.120 estate or the machines all. 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:11.000 Yo, Like here's a real life fact about myself. And 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.120 you know I've said it like when the people, you know, 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.720 we had a conversation again and were like trapped, Like 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.240 I think Matt Matt said. He was like. Matt was like, man, 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.600 look at trap, look at trap, and both of us 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.920 was like, yo, that's like it's one of me for 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.480 every ten thousand people in the streets. And I don't 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.080 mean it as to glorify the street. It's saying like 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.319 all to get out of that. And we had the conversation. 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:37.560 And because you become impregnated with the idea you know 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.959 what I'm saying, of what you're supposed to be doing. 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.640 You know what I'm saying you you get impregnated of 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.719 with the idea of you know, I gotta have these 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.600 I gotta have this jewelry, right, and I gotta have 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.040 you know, these guns. And I got to talk about 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.200 killing it and I ain't never you know, did none 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.439 of that. And I because they have it's pressure, right, 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.959 And I remember something you just said, like the money 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.559 not worth it, bro Like I remember this literally, this 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:03.920 is one of the things that made me get out 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.960 the street real talk. I remember me and my partner 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.360 was supposed to go hit this lick. And I remember 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.920 like me being a guy, like after I started, after 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.360 I had got found out guilty, I was broke. You 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.360 know what I'm saying and I was like, damn, that 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.520 shit cost me like sixty thousand dollars. Like that shit 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:22.720 it broke me, like real talk, it broke me. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.760 And I was like, damn. So I started, you know it, 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:25.680 just hitting licks and shit. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.040 And I remember supposed to hit this lick for like 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.079 eighty thousand dollars, and I remember when we get in 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.680 the lick, you know, things ain't go right. We wound 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.720 up getting like eight thousand dollars. And I remember telling 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.760 myself after we split the eight thousand dollars between me 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.719 and three people, I'm like, bro I couldn't even pay 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.200 for a lawyer if I would have got caught with this, 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.360 because I'm already broke. You know what I'm saying, I'm 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.080 already broke. And if I get caught for this, yo, 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:52.920 I don't even got money to pay for a lawyer. 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:54.760 And that was one of the main that made me sit, man, 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.600 this ain't worth it for me. You know what I'm saying, 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.319 It's time for me to bow gracefully. You know what 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.600 I'm saying. Whatever I did, it is what it is. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.040 And so what happens is in this What happens in 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.080 this game is people often think once I get the money, 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:12.240 then I'm gonna learn how to become financially literate. But 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.400 if you don't know how to invest one hundred dollars, 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.040 if you don't know how to invest a hundred, you 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.120 can't invest ten thousand. If you can't invest one hundred, 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.400 you can't invest a million. You feel what I'm saying, 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.040 because what's gonna happen is you gonna you don't understand. 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.160 We done have this conversation about how easy it is. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:28.880 So I'm gonna tell you all a conversation me and 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.640 Rashadam had one time and I said, bro, what's your number? 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:33.880 My brother was like, man, ten million is the number. 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.760 And I was like, yeah, ten million is a good number, 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:38.680 and both of us did the same thing at the 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.280 same time. Because you can blow a million, you know, 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.280 like you can blow a million without even thinking about it. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.200 And so because and I'm gonna tell you why you 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.840 can blow a million without thinking about it, because the 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.560 value of the dollar continuously decreases as the price of 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:57.640 everything goes up. 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.440 You feel I want you to understand. You know what 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.040 I'm trying. I want I want you to finish that. 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:04.960 But you know what's real though, you know what's real. 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:05.840 This is really real. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:06.920 Talk about it. 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.920 Bro Growing up, we think, well, at least me, I 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:10.200 saw it. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:11.920 One hundred thousand dollars was a lot of money, like 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.680 six figures, Like you hear your pay. You're coming from 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.040 working class environment. Six figures is like go to school, 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.560 you can make six figures. You know, when you realize 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.640 one hundred thousand, it's not a lot when you make 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.640 a hundred thousand, So the next thing, the next thing 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:28.800 is to become a millionaire. 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:30.680 That's like the next thing, a millionaire, millionaire. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.480 You know when you realize one million dollars isn't a lot. 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.360 When you make one million dollars, you make a million 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:42.520 and your life and nothing changes. That's a fact. 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:43.720 No, that's a fact. 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:44.480 That's a fact. 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.600 Like you know what I'm saying, because it's like you 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.960 you think your whole life a million dollars is ill 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:54.560 like a million dollars is like you like Scrooge McDuff 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.160 and you make a million dollars and it's like a 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:05.000 couple of purchases and it's gone, done, it's gone, and. 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:11.640 So something damn. So often people get mad at wealthy people. 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.880 I've heard people say this all the time you gotta 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:15.920 they got enough money? 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.080 What they're trying to get more money for?

And the 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.480 problem is this, you saw a customer having the mindset 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.520 what you have a scarcity mindset? Like you don't understand, 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.040 Like like, I'm not gonna lie you're like once I 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.640 once I seen a hunted legally.

You're gonna 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.760 be dead longer than you alive. So I'm gonna ask 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:20.800 you this question. What happens when you're gone.

So can you tell people 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:07.000 like some business game, like, how how important is it 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:10.280 to diversify and to grow latterly, because it's like you 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:11.960 know that we were just talking about like before you 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.119 jump through as far as arnal Leisure, I feel like 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.119 they've watched us grow and the same thing with you. 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.040 So even with you, it's like you got you got 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.159 Trappers Anonymous, you got the merch you you know what 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.800 I'm saying, you got the educational portal, now you got 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.040 your YouTube, and it's like a lot of times I 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.400 feel like with just people in general, they get complacent 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:35.040 with one thing, but you can never stop. It never stops, 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.920 like you always gotta because the problem, which is one 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:42.560 source of income is that is too close to none. Yeah, 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.280 so how what's what's your what's your thoughts on that? 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.119 And like what's your what's your what's your vision to 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.440 grow your brand in twenty twenty one? 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:56.000 Yeah? Yeah, yeah, So first I think what happens is 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.560 you gotta start connecting with people, right, you gotta start 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:00.560 connecting with people. 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.320 So one of my biggest things was I was I come. 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:06.000 From the street, like, so even in the streets, like 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.119 one of the things one of my most important lessons 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.359 in the street was always this, I had to connect 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.400 with different hustlers in different areas so I can move 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.960 product everywhere. You know what I'm saying, and if I didn't, 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:16.680 if I wasn't able to move product everywhere, then I 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:18.560 was stuck in one hood. And if I'm stuck in 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:20.639 one hood, then I'm limiting my money. So I used 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.480 to go to different hoods like connect with people like 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.280 give dudes, and other hoods like big big deals, you 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:27.800 know what I'm saying. So now I can come in 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.000 another gangs the hood and be all right, you know 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:31.760 what I'm saying. They may have a couple of people 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.199 like on some ill shit, but because I'm cool with 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:36.440 this gangster right here and he official in his hood, 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.120 I'm good. It ain't it ain't you know? We got 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:41.760 It wasn't like I was playing on another person realness, 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:43.400 but it was saying, this is how I gotta grow 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.480 my business, Like I got to hook up at least 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:47.439 eight or seven other dudes who holding it down in 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.800 the hud so I can serve over there. So I 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:52.840 use my business the same way like I'm like, all right, cool, 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.520 let me be able to a rite boom. Let me 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:57.960 build this relationship with Earn your leadon out of street value, 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:00.239 and we built a great relationship. All right, cool, Let 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.520 me build this relationship with this dude over here, a 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:05.800 genuine relationship, I can bring value. Cool. Let me build 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:07.960 this relationship with this dude over here, so I can 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:10.720 bring value cool. So now if I can bring value 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.399 to older people and they got platforms as well. And 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.639 here's the thing, I was on little platforms and big platforms. 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.480 You feel what I'm saying. Like you had ten thousand followers, 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:21.480 I'm hollering at you. Look, let's build even if I 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:23.439 had more following than you, because this is what I 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:26.679 realized on especially with the social media. Even with me 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:31.080 having three hundred and something thousand followers, that's still a 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.080 drop in the ocean. So the dude who got ten 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:36.800 thousand followers or the queen who got ten thousand followers, 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.760 only one percent of they following may know me. So 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:41.600 I got to build that relationship. So now I can 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:43.399 be in that. So now I just build that. So 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:45.320 one of the things I want to say is in 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:49.120 building your brand and building something like network, as much 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:51.359 as you can bring value to as many people as 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.359 you can. You know what I'm saying, bring an immense 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.159 amount of value. Don't be ashamed of give it away, 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.280 because what you give away. And building a relationship gonna 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.040 come back to you tenfold if it's authentic and raw. 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:08.320 So that's that's that's amazing thing for me. Another thing 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:10.720 as far as my vision for moving forward so with 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.920 my brand was for me, it was okay, I wanted 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:17.800 to be on every platform, but now I structured. I 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:20.800 structured my travel unit so I really do my audience 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.399 and who my voice is. So now I've structured it 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.639 like a real university, right, So the goal now to 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.040 have like travels anonymous, like I'm really and that's what 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:31.080 the White Boy was about. So I have like a 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:34.479 freshman that bundle I'm putting together, and then it's a 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:38.560 sophomore bundle that I'm putting together, and then it's a 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.879 junior bundle that I'm putting together, and then the senior 0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:46.200 bundle will actually be a mentorship. So going into twenty one, 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:49.320 I'm gonna actually build a mentorship so I now don't 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:53.320 have one on one with people. Then after that, I'm 0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:55.399 writing my book this year. So twenty twenty one, I'm 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:57.479 gonna write my book. You know what I'm saying, And 0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:58.480 I think what that does. 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.760 I gotta got right, I gotta ghostright that man chapter 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:01.800 at least a chapter. 0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:05.680 But already put that down. And I think the book 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:07.760 is important for me to take my brand to another 0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:08.920 level because now. 0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.640 I cross over from being and there's nothing. 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:13.360 Wrong with it, but I cross over from just being 0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:17.280 a person who you know, sell courses online to now 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:21.679 get into really impacting people with the story, you know 0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:24.040 what I'm saying. So that's something real important for me. 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:28.080 And then turning my brand, Trap Apparel, Inc. Into a 0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:32.480 real business like a brand like a Foogle brand or 0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:36.000 something like that. So it's just now opening it up 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:39.000 and then opening my portfolio up. You know, I told 0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:41.320 you I had linded on the truck already, so I 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:44.120 have two lending trucks on a right now. And then 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.359 just getting into more. I won't start playing monopoly. I 0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:47.600 just want to go in the hood and just about 0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:49.840 a bunch of properties. You know, me and you talked about, man, 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.760 let's try to buy an apartment complex and put that together. 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:56.640 But also giving back more, like giving back more myself 0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:59.240 to the community. I won't get into prisons, I won't 0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:02.320 get into juvenile our facilities. So that's my goal because 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.520 there's only one Wall Street traveler, you know what I'm saying, 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:08.080 Like everybody. Can you know, we all got our thing. 0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:10.320 We all you know, have a lane. I feel like 0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:13.760 me getting back into the mud, into the tranches is 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:16.240 what I'm most useful at. So twenty twenty one the 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.280 book more investments and then getting back to like really 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:23.600 getting into the trenches, jails, youth poems and things like that. Man. 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:25.400 So that's what I want to do going this year. Man. 0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:28.240 Yeah, Man, that's powerful. 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:28.520 Man. 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:31.000 I'm looking forward to seeing the growth. 0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:31.240 Man. 0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:33.040 That's that's what it's about. 0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:33.240 Man. 0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:36.400 It's about each one teach one, and it's about it's 0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:40.040 about friendly competition, and it's about positive peer pressure. That's 0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:42.040 one thing that they've they've shared dropped a lot of 0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:44.120 gyms on our podcast. That's one of the good things 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:46.600 about having a podcast. It's a great networking tool. And 0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:51.880 it's kind of like that book. What was it, Dale Carnegie, 0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:54.280 I think wrote the book or it's one of these 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:58.080 how to win friends and influence people. Yeah, but it 0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:01.840 was another one. But he interviewed like all the successful 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.840 Oh oh h, thank and grow rich, think and grow rich? 0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:06.360 Who wrote that book? Deal Carnegie? 0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:10.280 Well, no, it's written by Hill Hill, but he got 0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:11.800 the game from dal Carnegie. 0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:12.560 Yeah. 0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:14.960 So you know what, I shout out to Maurice Clorette, 0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:17.960 Maurice Clorette Hall of uh. I think he's Ohio Hall 0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:23.480 of Fame. Come on, Oio State, Ohio, Ohi, Ohio state, 0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:24.240 buck ey legend. 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:26.680 So least he's a big he's a big supporter. 0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:29.159 That's my god. Shout out to Maurice. So when I 0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:31.600 met him, he told me, he's like, I'm jealous of you. 0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:33.919 I've been jealous of you for a while. And I'm like, 0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:36.000 why are you jealous? He was like, he's like, yo, 0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:37.879 you know Napoleon Hill when he wrote that book and 0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:39.919 he and he said it took him forty years to 0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:43.080 compositive information. He said, you you're doing all this in 0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:45.600 twelve months. Look at all the people that you that 0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.879 you tapped in with every single week. You get a 0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.880 master class. He's like, we get a master class looking 0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:54.560 at it. But look at all the information you getting 0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:57.119 behind the scenes, and you got these people's phone numbers 0:25:57.119 --> 0:25:59.640 and and I'm like, yo, you know what, You're right 0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:02.040 like what I'm saying like that, it's actually a great 0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:04.199 network and too, and it's a great learning experience for me. 0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:07.679 So I say that to say when Dave Chance came 0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:09.840 on our podcast and he said that he said a 0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:11.840 lot of valuable things, but one of the things that 0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:15.199 he said was he said, you know, success by association. 0:26:15.760 --> 0:26:18.919 You always say abouts say about guilty, like guilty by association. 0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:20.359 You know what I'm saying, Like if you if you 0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:22.800 with the wrong people and you with five dudes and 0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:24.159 they stick up a store and you with them, you 0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:28.639 guilty just being by associated. But the opposite is that 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:31.840 you can be you can be successful by association. I 0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:33.800 was telling one of my young boys just the other day. 0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:36.400 You can make a million on the humble by accident. 0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:41.280 You could be a millionaire by accident stumbling if you 0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:43.679 just with if you just with the right people and 0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:47.000 you just add value, it's just a matter of win. 0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:50.040 It's just a matter of win by accident. And another 0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:54.439 another thing that he said was positive peer pressure. And 0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:56.040 I think that that's something that you know, all of 0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:58.600 us have. It's like we're all competitive. So it's like 0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:02.040 I I'm I just going just sit and watch trap 0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:03.440 take his thing to the next level. 0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:04.879 You know. 0:27:04.960 --> 0:27:08.280 It said, like it's positive pit pressure, it's competition. It's 0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:09.880 like it's like the league, like you know, I'm saying 0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:13.160 Lebron and Katie they might be friends, but they're still 0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:14.120 competing with each other. 0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:15.760 Nobody wants to be second place. 0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:16.680 You know what. 0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:19.760 That's a real like yo, like. I remember, I'm gonna 0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:20.120 be real. 0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:25.480 I remember when a quarantine first happened, And this is 0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:26.720 why you gotta change it. 0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:28.720 You gotta change the people you're around. I said this 0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:29.160 all the time. 0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:31.960 You gotta filter your integram and you gotta filter your life, 0:27:32.320 --> 0:27:34.840 right because if the people around you not motivating you 0:27:34.880 --> 0:27:37.400 to go forward, then you around the wrong people, right. 0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:39.760 And if y'all done celebrating, y'all don't win out. Y'all 0:27:39.760 --> 0:27:41.960 don't pop bottles, y'all don't boil bag, y'all went on 0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:44.520 vacation together. Y'all don't did all that. And y'all ain't 0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:47.439 built a business together. Y'all ain't put a business plan together. 0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:50.520 Y'all ain't invested together. Y'all ain't thought about how y'all 0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:53.000 can build something and make an investment together. Then that's 0:27:53.000 --> 0:27:55.280 the wrong type of friends that have around you, right. 0:27:55.480 --> 0:28:02.680 So I remember, I remember when the quarantine had first hit, 0:28:02.760 --> 0:28:05.960 and I remember y'all you you called me and you 0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:09.040 was like trap. You're putting out a lot of good content. 0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:11.880 It's trying to double down on YouTube because people need 0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:14.320 to see you. And I was like, yeah, man, I'm 0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:16.280 anna double down. But I was still like building a 0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:18.840 brand up. I was still like, you know, he was 0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:23.280 like all right. And then I remember I watched y'all 0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:26.959 like double down on the YouTube content and I said, damn, 0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:32.960 that shit doubling. I remember immediately I called my video editor. 0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:34.800 I said, I give him a game plan. I said, Yo, 0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:37.239 I'm about to do this, this, this, We're gonna take this. 0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:39.160 We're gonna break it down right here, we're gonna break 0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:40.960 it down right here. We're gonna repurpose it over here. 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:44.880 Content content content. And then I'm like all right, cool. 0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:49.320 So then we're doubling down. We're doubling down, and then 0:28:50.400 --> 0:28:55.560 y'all hit one hundred. I was like shit, I'm like, man, 0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:57.200 I gotta pump some mold. So I called it back. 0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:59.640 I'm like, look this the next thing I about to do. Yo. Like, 0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:04.240 and it's because I won't see my guys win, but 0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:08.000 I also want to win and it's not me coming. 0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:09.520 But as long as I know my guy is still 0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:12.479 applying pressure, I can never get comfortable where I'm at 0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:16.239 because for every doll y'all break down, it's saying, Yo, 0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:19.200 it's possible. You feel what I'm saying. And that's how 0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:21.360 I look at it. Like every time I see my 0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:24.640 guys interview somebody else, I'm like, yeah, even when I 0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:27.200 see people talking about stocks, I'm like, Okay, we got 0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:29.640 to learn more so we can break more information down. 0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:32.160 So for me, it's always about being able to break 0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:34.400 the information down in the way that people can digest it. 0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:36.800 So every time Ian always tells me, every time I 0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:39.080 hear to talk trap, that should make me go back hard. 0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:41.720 But for me, every time I hear Ian like, I 0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:44.000 be mad. For me, I'm mad that I can't make 0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:49.440 slides right, Ian be killing, I'm like, damn, Ian, you 0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:51.600 know what I'm saying, Like God, damn like Ian be 0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:55.640 having a whole damn that just ain't my thing. Like 0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:58.160 I like to have the energy, So I'm like, all right, well, 0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:00.760 I gotta I gotta give more energy. So I gotta 0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:03.320 just like bring my pirate dishes out. I gotta, you know, 0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:05.959 go more in depth. I gotta teach more because that's 0:30:06.000 --> 0:30:08.240 where Ian Good at. So Ian Good at putting the 0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:10.280 slides together. I'm not gonna try to mimic that, but 0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:12.320 I'm gonna do is. I'm gonna go back in my bag. 0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:15.480 So now I wan't trapping two to still be popping 0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:17.800 had like Market moneys. You know what I'm saying. And 0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:19.560 it's not a comp it's not saying I won't be 0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:21.640 better than It's like that's my guys, or they went 0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:24.160 to the finals, or no no, no, no no. They 0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:25.920 gotta see me in the finals next year. You know 0:30:26.000 --> 0:30:28.080 what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying, Oh damn, 0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:30.800 they just drop fifty, I gotta go drop eighty. You 0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:33.200 know what I'm saying. So it is you gotta have 0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:36.520 people like that. So it's always a competition, but it's 0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:40.560 always cool, like, oh, y'all made a honey nice y'all 0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:43.200 just hit two hundred subscribers. Let me repost that right quick. 0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:45.240 My dogs didn't hit two hundred subscribers. You know what 0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:48.959 I'm saying, My dog them Every Monday, I'm I'm posting 0:30:49.000 --> 0:30:50.960 Market Mondays and I'm taking all three of them. You 0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:52.600 know what I'm saying.

So I'm gonna treat my 0:30:57.280 --> 0:31:00.000 and I'm just a bar. I'm gonna treat my potner's business. 0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:04.720 I'm gonna treat my brother's business like it's mine. I'm 0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:05.719 gonna treat their business. 0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:07.800 Say that that's a fact. 0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:11.200 I'm gona treat like none because when they win, I win, 0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:14.840 because we don't. We might be in we in different lanes, 0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:16.080 but we run in the same race. 0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:16.840 I'm just on. 0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:18.920 I'm on, I'm on another part of them on. They 0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:21.520 gotta hand me the battone him, trap you next. You 0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:23.280 know what I'm saying. Every time I do a trap 0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:25.560 in tulday. I see that post from Ian, I see 0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:27.280 that pole from you, I see that pole from Jamal. 0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:29.400 We were pushing it the same way. 0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:29.640 Man. 0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:32.320 So man, I just won't see every I won't see 0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:32.640 us win. 0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:34.760 Man. And I know how fault. I know we just 0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:37.320 scratching the surface. And we all got something that's so 0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:38.760 unique that the culture needs. 0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:41.280 Man, for sure, I think that that's something that and 0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:43.560 especially like like I said, David Share. Another thing that 0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:47.000 he said is like when you're in the room with 0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:50.720 like everybody that's doing bad, right, It's very hard to 0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:52.120 be the one person to do. 0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:54.520 Good in a in a bad environment. 0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:57.680 It's hard, like if you if you're around people and 0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:01.680 every single person is smoke drinking, it's hard to be 0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:05.720 the one person that's sober. But the opposite is that 0:32:06.120 --> 0:32:08.840 it's hard to be the one person doing bad in 0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:10.520 a room full of good. So, if you're in a 0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:12.680 room full of church ladies, and if you got any 0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:14.800 level of common sense, you're not just gonna be cursing it. 0:32:15.080 --> 0:32:17.920 You're gonna conduct yourself a certain way because you're gonna 0:32:17.920 --> 0:32:20.200 feel out of place. You're gonna feel out of place 0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:23.160 doing bad and a room full of good people just 0:32:23.200 --> 0:32:25.800 like you feel out of place doing good and a 0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:28.920 room full of people that are doing bad things right. 0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:32.760 I say that to say a lot of times people 0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:36.760 are self sabotaging their success because of the people that 0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:41.160 they're around. It's hard to be successful when everybody around 0:32:41.240 --> 0:32:44.520 you is doing bad. So what happens a lot of 0:32:44.560 --> 0:32:48.680 times is that you subconsciously or consciously self sabotage your 0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:52.520 success to dim your light because nobody wants to be 0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:55.640 the if you If you're a decent person. You feel 0:32:55.680 --> 0:33:01.640 extremely uncomfortable riding through a poor neighborhood in the Lamborghini, right, 0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:03.239 Like you know what I'm saying. It's like, it's just 0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:06.560 it's it's not comfortable. It's not comfortable, Like you don't 0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:08.240 want to be in the project with a fur coat 0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:11.280 on it. It's not comfortable. But if you in Beverly Hills, 0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:12.160 you feel comfortable. 0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:12.440 Right. 0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:15.680 So I say that to say it's like, sometimes you 0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:19.160 have to separate the people might not be at their mindset, 0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:23.600 might not be conducive to your to your your growth, 0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:26.760 and sometimes you might you might have to outgrow somebody 0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:29.760 in a certain moment of time until they can catch up. 0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.840 Because you constantly put in a group chat. I'm doing 0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:35.600 this through on that and everybody else is they gonna 0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:38.080 discourage you like stocks, you keep talking about stocks for 0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:41.680 psychologically you're gonna you're gonna like, now, let me stop 0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:43.800 talking about this because this is just doesn't fit. Let 0:33:43.840 --> 0:33:45.560 me talk about love and hip hop because this is 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.320 something that is more comfortable. I see that happening all 0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:51.360 the time. So I just that's something to to to 0:33:51.440 --> 0:33:53.680 really think about as well as you got to take 0:33:53.720 --> 0:33:57.640 an inventory of your circle. And if your circle isn't 0:33:57.680 --> 0:33:59.360 on the same type of time that you on, or 0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:03.200 isn't pushing you the same way that you should be pushed, 0:34:03.400 --> 0:34:04.800 it's time to find a new circles. 0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:10.239 No, that's without a listen, that is so imperative to 0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:12.160 where you're trying to go at. So check this out, 0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:15.120 like you know, and it's saying if you're around five 0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:20.600 millionaires by default, you become the sixth on by default. 0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:26.040 Because what happens is they start having different conversations. You 0:34:26.120 --> 0:34:29.120 can't go into like you can't come into our like 0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:31.879 you can't come into our group chat talking about yeah, man, 0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:34.000 your girl on love and hip hop? You wanna look 0:34:34.040 --> 0:34:36.640 at you like I might text you personal like a shot? 0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:40.360 Who is this guy? How he got here? You know 0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:43.400 what I'm saying? Like what every nine and then we 0:34:43.480 --> 0:34:46.600 might throw a sports topic in the group. Uh, you know, 0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:50.319 we'll talk about politics. We we literally talked about how 0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:53.960 the Trump, how Trump and Bidy was gonna affect we 0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:56.520 in a group check having that political talk. You know 0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:59.160 what I'm saying, were in a group check talking about business, 0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:03.040 the market, all of that. What happens is now you 0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:06.000 look for value every time you find something value, you 0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:08.040 throw that in the group chat. You know what I'm saying, 0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:11.239 every time you find a gym cool. They ain't got 0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:13.080 this right here yet, you know what I'm saying. And 0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:18.520 so now those ideas become damn like I see they 0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:20.759 on it. So now you start understanding, I can't have 0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:23.560 this conversation right here. And then what happens on the 0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:27.560 what happens now on the back end is those other 0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:30.600 conversations become frivolous. You don't even want to have them 0:35:30.640 --> 0:35:34.840 no more because you so used to having these conversations 0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:39.399 that are conducive to you succeeding. These conversations start now 0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:42.880 making things possible, Like you start saying like, damn, like 0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:45.800 I can have ten thousand dollars in a stock market, 0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:49.760 Damn traps, just say he bought one hundred ships, Damn 0:35:49.800 --> 0:35:52.520 shot them, just got a truck. Damn, this has got 0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:55.960 an apartment complex. Damn they just did this, and I 0:35:56.000 --> 0:35:57.960 wasn't even Now you start looking at your owser, but 0:35:58.080 --> 0:36:01.520 like you trying to throw a topic in that nobody 0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:05.879 don't want no parts of it, right, show him, no move, 0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:10.160 you know what I'm saying. So it's and that's why 0:36:10.200 --> 0:36:12.319 One of the things important for people to do is this, 0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:17.760 go on your Instagram. Look at everybody that you following. 0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:21.160 If you can't go on it, this is how I 0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:24.319 manage my Instagram. If I get on my gram and 0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:26.560 I see you live and I can't tap on that 0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:30.840 and learn something, it's an unfollow for me. It's a 0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:33.440 no follower if I can't see I don't mind you 0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:36.000 posting a joke here. Now, that's one of the thing cool. 0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:39.319 But if ninety percent of your content isn't something I 0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:42.320 can learn from and put in one of these tablets, 0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:46.600 that's a no goal for me. Because what happens is 0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:49.120 we've been entertained for so long. At what point do 0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:52.720 we say, I gotta start getting educated Because the education 0:36:52.800 --> 0:36:57.360 and the information is defertilized. The lack of it is 0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:00.479 what keeps you where you at. You weed, we gonna 0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:02.520 grow anywhere? Are we gonna grow in the concrete or 0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:06.479 we gonna grow anywhere? Right? So, now, are we gonna 0:37:06.800 --> 0:37:10.920 bullcarm bullcrap gonna be inside anywhere? How do you say, 0:37:11.040 --> 0:37:13.520 let me get this out of the way and focus 0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:16.760 on what's gonna help me grow, what's gonna help nursing 0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:20.280 me because at thirty eight. I remember, we had this conversation. 0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:23.080 I said, Man, took me thirty six years to get here. Man, 0:37:24.760 --> 0:37:27.319 you know what I'm saying. It took me thirty six 0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:31.880 years to get here. I ain't going back right money, 0:37:33.280 --> 0:37:37.239 I ain't gonna exact to get here. I don't got 0:37:37.280 --> 0:37:40.000 nothing to prove of nobody. I don't got nothing to 0:37:40.040 --> 0:37:42.520 prove of nobody. The only person I gotta prove something 0:37:42.520 --> 0:37:44.479 not to my daughter to prove that she can be great. 0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:47.000 We got something to prove to our family members that 0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:49.279 we can change the d we can change our last name. 0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:52.440 You got a son, man, That's what we're proven sit to. 0:37:52.600 --> 0:37:55.120 We ain't proving nothing to nobody else. It took me 0:37:55.239 --> 0:37:57.239 thirty eight years to get here. You know how much 0:37:57.280 --> 0:38:00.560 filtering I had to do to realize, oh, this is 0:38:00.600 --> 0:38:03.399 where I need to be at. Why what we going 0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:06.480 backs for? So if y'all, if y'all, here's if you 0:38:06.600 --> 0:38:09.120 watch marketing, if you've been watching if you have been 0:38:09.200 --> 0:38:15.200 watching market Mondays since the beginning of the pandemic, trapping 0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:18.200 Tuesdays since the pandemic, and you not invested in spots 0:38:18.239 --> 0:38:22.239 and stuff, you're doing yourself in Rashad's words, it's such 0:38:22.280 --> 0:38:27.160 a tremendous desservice.

That's impact on 0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:49.920 the culture, bro. 0:41:50.480 --> 0:41:54.919 Like financial financial Man, It's something that like I said, 0:41:55.000 --> 0:41:57.120 man's the only thing I can see us at this point, 0:41:57.320 --> 0:41:59.320 and people are realizing that that the education is the 0:41:59.360 --> 0:42:01.920 only thing that can save them. And the reason why 0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:03.399 I say that it's the only thing I can save 0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:06.680 them is because it saved me. Like it saved me 0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:08.920 as far as like not saved me as far as 0:42:09.000 --> 0:42:11.120 like you know, I don't think I would be dead 0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:15.359 in jail, but it saved me from having to work 0:42:15.400 --> 0:42:17.560 a job, or saved me from you know what I'm saying, 0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:21.440 like having a mediocre life. It saved me. It saved 0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:24.080 my life from actually having a life, like you know 0:42:24.080 --> 0:42:26.200 what I mean. Like me, I never had a job. 0:42:26.320 --> 0:42:28.040 I never had a job, and like anybody knows aboutself, 0:42:28.080 --> 0:42:29.719 I never had a job. Being an entrepreneur my whole 0:42:29.840 --> 0:42:33.000 entire life. So I don't really know what like for me, 0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:36.279 having a job is risky. It's risky because I'm not 0:42:36.360 --> 0:42:38.800 gonna wake up at seven o'clock. It's a risk that 0:42:38.920 --> 0:42:40.680 I might curse my boss out, like you know what 0:42:40.680 --> 0:42:43.160 I'm saying. That's that's a risk. So all I know 0:42:43.960 --> 0:42:46.160 is wake up and get it, like you know what 0:42:46.160 --> 0:42:48.520 I'm saying. So that's all I know. I can only 0:42:48.520 --> 0:42:52.719 speak about things that I actually know, and I don't 0:42:52.800 --> 0:42:54.520 know what it what it would be like. I literally 0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:56.480 woke up on I woke up yesterday. I thought it 0:42:56.600 --> 0:43:00.320 was Saturday. I thought it was Saturday. For one I 0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:04.640 just I don't know why. But that's a blessing. That's 0:43:04.680 --> 0:43:08.040 a blessing. That's a blessing. I went up on Tuesday 0:43:08.080 --> 0:43:10.040 and thought it was could It don't matter because if 0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:12.560 I you know what, when you when you live in life, 0:43:12.640 --> 0:43:15.320 how we live, whatever day you want it to be, 0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:17.560 is that day. If I want it to be Sunday, 0:43:18.239 --> 0:43:19.120 then it's Sunday. 0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:22.360 It's Sunday. That's a fact. And I think that's the 0:43:22.560 --> 0:43:26.920 that's the that's the important thing about financial literacy and 0:43:27.080 --> 0:43:30.239 learning how to invest, Like this is what y'all gotta do, yo. 0:43:30.960 --> 0:43:33.520 You got to learn how to turn income into capital. 0:43:35.440 --> 0:43:37.760 You got to learn how to turn income into capital. 0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:40.279 And what that's simply saying is the income that you 0:43:40.480 --> 0:43:43.359 make when you turn it into capital.

The income that you put into your 0:46:44.719 --> 0:46:48.680 investment account is capital. Now it's still money, but it's 0:46:48.719 --> 0:46:51.000 called capital and the investment world because that money is 0:46:51.040 --> 0:46:53.799 you to purchase assets. You feel what I'm saying. Then 0:46:54.000 --> 0:46:58.799 those assets that capital now becomes an ROI or until 0:46:58.800 --> 0:47:01.240 you want that capital become a return on an investment. 0:47:01.600 --> 0:47:05.760 And what happens is every investment that you make buys 0:47:05.880 --> 0:47:10.200 back some of your time. The objective why he don't 0:47:10.280 --> 0:47:13.920 care about Tuesday being a Sunday is because he owns 0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:18.080 his twenty four hours. Listen to me the person who 0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:22.400 owns the most of their time can then create the 0:47:22.520 --> 0:47:26.960 most wealth. The more time that you can own, the 0:47:27.080 --> 0:47:29.800 more wealth that you can create. And so now you 0:47:29.920 --> 0:47:33.480 put your time like this, how long will it take 0:47:33.520 --> 0:47:36.839 you to own your twenty four hours? Will it take 0:47:36.880 --> 0:47:39.439 you two years, would it take you five years? Will 0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:42.239 it take you ten years? That should be the goal. 0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:45.000 For me. The goal was never how much money I 0:47:45.080 --> 0:47:47.759 could make. It was how much time can I own. 0:47:48.360 --> 0:47:51.160 I need to have time equity. I need to own 0:47:51.239 --> 0:47:53.920 as much of my time as possible, because if I 0:47:54.040 --> 0:47:56.120 own my twenty four hours, I don't care if it's 0:47:56.160 --> 0:47:59.000 Monday a Sunday. I don't care if it's Tuesday or Saturday. 0:47:59.360 --> 0:48:01.800 I don't care if it's it's Wednesday or Thursday. Because 0:48:01.880 --> 0:48:04.239 every day I'm blessed to say I get up and 0:48:04.320 --> 0:48:06.279 do what I want, when I want, how I want. 0:48:07.160 --> 0:48:09.560 That's the blessing. For me. It's not about how much 0:48:09.640 --> 0:48:12.919 money I have. It's about how much time that I own. 0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:16.080 And I own my time by making the most investments. 0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:19.359 It's like the dual writers, the dual toy man. All 0:48:19.440 --> 0:48:21.880 of my money goes into the stock market, and for me, 0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:25.160 sixty percent of my wealth is in the stock market. 0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:27.800 And the reason why that is because I realized this 0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:33.600 once I started really studying great wealthy people. When I 0:48:33.680 --> 0:48:37.560 study even looking at Warren Buffett, looking at Bill Gates, 0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:41.719 looking at Jeff Bezos, sixty five percent of their money 0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:45.680 is in their wealth is in the stock market, sixty 0:48:45.760 --> 0:48:49.839 five to seventy percent. So that told me that if 0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:52.800 that's what they doing, if that's the blueprint, that's the 0:48:52.840 --> 0:48:56.359 blueprint I'm following. I'm a follow the people who did 0:48:56.400 --> 0:49:00.799 it and did it well, right, you don't become top 0:49:00.880 --> 0:49:04.000 five richest people in the world by luck that. 0:49:04.239 --> 0:49:06.360 You know what. You know, what's so crazy that you 0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:07.160 said that? Because we did. 0:49:07.320 --> 0:49:09.600 We did a YouTube blob for day from rec Philly. 0:49:09.640 --> 0:49:12.000 Shout out to rec Philly. They got a dope events 0:49:12.080 --> 0:49:13.920 based in Philly. So we're on a YouTube lib and 0:49:13.960 --> 0:49:16.759 they're asking us questions and we're talking about, you know, 0:49:17.080 --> 0:49:19.680 investing stocks real estate. So one of the one of 0:49:19.760 --> 0:49:22.400 the young lady that was on the YouTube blog, she's like, 0:49:22.800 --> 0:49:25.000 are there any other ways that you can invest outside 0:49:25.000 --> 0:49:27.120 of stocks in real estate? So I'm like, what have 0:49:27.239 --> 0:49:29.640 you invested in? And she's like, I haven't invested yet. 0:49:29.960 --> 0:49:34.200 So I'm like, all right, so one hundred percent, probably 0:49:34.280 --> 0:49:36.800 ninety nine point nine percent of the millionaires in the 0:49:36.920 --> 0:49:39.200 United States of America and probably all over the world, 0:49:39.239 --> 0:49:42.680 but United States of America have some real estate or 0:49:42.960 --> 0:49:43.879 some stockholdings. 0:49:44.000 --> 0:49:45.200 That's safe to say. 0:49:45.239 --> 0:49:48.600 Right, So if you're just starting out and one hundred 0:49:48.600 --> 0:49:52.200 percent of the millionaires have real estate, a stop, why 0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:55.040 are you looking for an alternative outside of real estate 0:49:55.040 --> 0:49:57.719 and stocks? Like we try to make things complicated, over 0:49:57.800 --> 0:50:00.120 complicate things like you want me to tell you some 0:50:00.280 --> 0:50:04.279 crazy oil rig to invest in investing in your full 0:50:04.320 --> 0:50:08.280 one kid yet and you're not investing bitcoin and precious 0:50:08.400 --> 0:50:12.719 precious metals and oil refinery Like it's like. 0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:15.680 Yo, just keep it care simple, keep it simple. 0:50:16.640 --> 0:50:18.840 It's simple for me, yo, Like, And that's what I 0:50:19.000 --> 0:50:21.239 that's like one of my biggest things is always like 0:50:21.400 --> 0:50:24.840 for me, I'm just following the people who came before me, 0:50:25.640 --> 0:50:29.120 that's all. I Ain't doing nothing different, Yo, I don't 0:50:29.120 --> 0:50:32.239 gotta listen. I'm not an inventor. I don't got to 0:50:32.320 --> 0:50:34.920 try to create the next thing that's gonna change the world. 0:50:35.480 --> 0:50:38.040 That ain't what I'm good at. Right. What I need 0:50:38.120 --> 0:50:40.920 to learn how to do is become the best investor 0:50:41.000 --> 0:50:43.919 that I can be. When I was in prison during 0:50:44.040 --> 0:50:49.200 my time, that white dude told me this, wealthy people 0:50:50.040 --> 0:50:54.160 invest in stocks, real estate and they start a business. 0:50:54.880 --> 0:50:57.520 So that was the manser that I followed. If you 0:50:57.640 --> 0:50:59.800 was saying real estate stocks, I probably wouldn't be a 0:50:59.800 --> 0:51:02.360 wall travel. I probably would be the real estate travel 0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:05.640 because I followed the rule that he gave me. He 0:51:05.760 --> 0:51:08.799 said real estate. I mean, he said stocks, real estate 0:51:08.800 --> 0:51:11.640 and start your business. The reason why he said stocks first, 0:51:11.640 --> 0:51:13.719 and it made assistant me because that's the easiest way, 0:51:13.800 --> 0:51:16.320 that has the lowest barrier, the entry barrier. You know 0:51:16.360 --> 0:51:18.080 what I'm saying. You take your little you know, twenty 0:51:18.160 --> 0:51:19.759 thirty dollars, you put that in a stocking mall. It's 0:51:19.760 --> 0:51:21.600 gonna work for you regardless, you know what I'm saying. 0:51:21.719 --> 0:51:23.319 Then you get into really you know, you start learning 0:51:23.320 --> 0:51:25.440 how to run a business and all that. But spots 0:51:25.560 --> 0:51:28.160 was the easiest place to go. So I just followed that. 0:51:28.320 --> 0:51:30.839 It wasn't no need for me to try to man, 0:51:31.200 --> 0:51:35.040 let me try to do no that's following, and I'm 0:51:35.040 --> 0:51:37.800 gonna just get real good at it. And to what 0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:40.800 now It's like okay, like all right, I got this 0:51:41.000 --> 0:51:43.520 much money in stocks, So okay, what's the first thing 0:51:43.560 --> 0:51:46.120 I'm gonna do. Now, I'm gonna get my daughter, who 0:51:46.200 --> 0:51:48.399 who at the time was two. I'm gonna start doing 0:51:48.440 --> 0:51:49.960 her the thing. Because if it took me to get 0:51:50.000 --> 0:51:52.279 in my you know, thirties to start it, let me 0:51:52.360 --> 0:51:55.080 start her even earlier. So if I had to get 0:51:55.080 --> 0:51:56.879 when I was thirty, if I saw her, she too, 0:51:57.400 --> 0:51:59.520 imagine she gonna be with she thirty. Okay, let me 0:51:59.520 --> 0:52:02.520 start this now in four years old. She one hundred 0:52:02.560 --> 0:52:04.440 and fifty in the market at four. The goal for 0:52:04.600 --> 0:52:06.400 me make he a million at by the time she eighteen. 0:52:06.680 --> 0:52:11.719 That's easy. Now, that's easy. That's easy. Okay, we're gonna 0:52:11.719 --> 0:52:13.359 get some real estate. Okay, what's the going now. As 0:52:13.360 --> 0:52:14.839 soon as I do it and I get a good 0:52:14.920 --> 0:52:17.640 cool she would get a piece of property too. The 0:52:17.760 --> 0:52:18.719 formula is there. 0:52:19.000 --> 0:52:20.279 It's not triggering now the tree. 0:52:20.440 --> 0:52:23.439 It's not us. It's not E equal E and MC 0:52:23.600 --> 0:52:27.760 squared equals. This is by stocks. My real estate starts 0:52:27.800 --> 0:52:31.040 your business. It's simple, family, And I'm not trying to 0:52:31.120 --> 0:52:34.920 I'm not trying to go the hallway. I'm trying to travel. 0:52:34.960 --> 0:52:37.120 If I can't travel, this path right here, and I 0:52:37.239 --> 0:52:40.239 see it working. I'm gonna go with it, and then 0:52:40.239 --> 0:52:42.080 I will learn other things. Okay, I've been in the 0:52:42.120 --> 0:52:45.560 stock market for so many years. Okay, now let me 0:52:45.680 --> 0:52:47.640 learn how to trade. Now, I've been in the market 0:52:47.719 --> 0:52:49.799 for four, five, six, seven, hell a year. Okay, Now 0:52:49.880 --> 0:52:53.080 let me start learning how to trade, because it's another component. Okay, 0:52:53.120 --> 0:52:55.120 I've been doing buying whole real estate, but it's long. 0:52:55.320 --> 0:52:57.839 Maybe let me learn how to buy and flip a house. Right, 0:52:58.120 --> 0:53:00.640 It's it's stayed as you go through. You take a 0:53:00.680 --> 0:53:05.759 step by step. The problem is we feel compelled to 0:53:05.960 --> 0:53:09.120 try to compete or live up to some standards or 0:53:09.160 --> 0:53:11.920 show people, Hey, I'm flipping the house.

So the people that's 0:54:53.480 --> 0:54:56.000 thinking outside the box, the people that everybody was laughing 0:54:56.040 --> 0:54:59.000 at because they YouTubers, and now they're millionaires. And now 0:54:59.600 --> 0:55:02.319 it's not funny anymore, Like you know what I'm saying, 0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:04.680 Like when I'm throughing Instagram when I have five hundred 0:55:04.719 --> 0:55:07.840 followers and I'm making selfie videos three years ago, and 0:55:07.920 --> 0:55:11.759 it's like, but now it's not funny anymore, Like you 0:55:11.840 --> 0:55:12.319 know what I'm saying. 0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:17.120 Time, Oh, that's what you're doing. You know what I'm saying. 0:55:17.200 --> 0:55:19.600 I told, I told, I was telling my travelers just 0:55:19.640 --> 0:55:22.399 the other day. So I brung somebody in the other day, 0:55:23.239 --> 0:55:25.520 somebody who helped me. Her name I pray pretty. She 0:55:25.640 --> 0:55:27.400 helped me to beginning in my brand when I was 0:55:27.440 --> 0:55:31.440 gooding my brand and I bought so when she was 0:55:31.520 --> 0:55:34.440 talking at the time, I had forty people in the class. 0:55:34.480 --> 0:55:36.280 We wound up having like eighty people in the class. 0:55:36.880 --> 0:55:39.719 And she talked about the e book we talked about 0:55:39.719 --> 0:55:41.800 how she helped me put my ebook together. So I 0:55:41.920 --> 0:55:45.040 bought her ebook How to Make nine K in thirty 0:55:45.120 --> 0:55:47.319 Days for the forty of the people in my group. 0:55:48.120 --> 0:55:51.680 I bought it for them, and she broke down a 0:55:51.760 --> 0:55:57.200 process of how to create an ebook based on whatever 0:55:57.280 --> 0:56:01.440 you're doing right, and the way she broke it down 0:56:01.480 --> 0:56:04.680 to my trappers and shit, and it was like, there's 0:56:04.800 --> 0:56:08.759 no reason why you shouldn't have another stream of income right. 0:56:08.840 --> 0:56:10.839 And it goes back to the saying that I say, 0:56:12.280 --> 0:56:16.319 if you allow them to feed you, you give them 0:56:16.480 --> 0:56:22.000 permission to stop. You say it again, if you allowed 0:56:22.160 --> 0:56:27.279 them to feed you, Yep, fat is my cousin for sure. 0:56:27.640 --> 0:56:30.680 If you allow them to feed you, you give them 0:56:30.840 --> 0:56:35.400 permission to stop you. And what happens is the basis 0:56:35.480 --> 0:56:39.880 of me making that statement was simple. When I was 0:56:39.920 --> 0:56:43.200 working my job, I used to tell them like, yo, 0:56:43.200 --> 0:56:45.719 I'm about to take off. Yeah, and they'll be like, well, 0:56:45.719 --> 0:56:47.479 you can't take off. I'll be like, I'm not asking 0:56:47.520 --> 0:56:50.960 you to take off. I'm taking off. And whatever you 0:56:51.080 --> 0:56:53.880 don't do after that, like it's on you. You know 0:56:53.920 --> 0:56:55.880 what I'm saying, Because I had already like by me 0:56:55.920 --> 0:56:57.520 being a hustle I was only working. I felt like 0:56:57.560 --> 0:57:00.320 I was only working because you know, I couldn't no 0:57:00.400 --> 0:57:02.840 more because I felt like, damn, I ain't got no bread, 0:57:03.239 --> 0:57:05.880 Like I'm my back against the wall, right, And so 0:57:06.120 --> 0:57:08.279 I still had the hustle mindset. So I wound up 0:57:08.680 --> 0:57:10.600 like you know, after I build a Falcon stadium, I 0:57:10.680 --> 0:57:12.600 build like two more power plants, and I walked up 0:57:12.640 --> 0:57:14.680 the job to go all in on my brand. But 0:57:14.800 --> 0:57:18.000 what happens is this, this pandemic showed us one thing. 0:57:18.440 --> 0:57:18.760 People know. 0:57:18.920 --> 0:57:21.800 I think people you skipped over that you built the 0:57:21.840 --> 0:57:24.000 Falcon Stadium. Can you tell me every time a minute, Atlanta? 0:57:24.280 --> 0:57:26.800 But they see you now, they don't know you used 0:57:26.800 --> 0:57:29.800 to be a laborer and you actually built the Atlanta 0:57:29.800 --> 0:57:32.040 Football them Mercedes been Stadium. 0:57:32.760 --> 0:57:35.360 You you were, you were one of the laborers that 0:57:35.480 --> 0:57:36.680 built that stadium. 0:57:36.680 --> 0:57:38.920 That I was. So I'm gonna call I was an ironworker, right. 0:57:39.040 --> 0:57:42.600 So what ironworking does is so when you see when 0:57:42.640 --> 0:57:45.000 you see like them big ass cranes in the air 0:57:45.440 --> 0:57:48.160 and you see those big old iron vessels moving around, 0:57:48.200 --> 0:57:50.840 it's called beans Like I was the one up there 0:57:50.920 --> 0:57:55.040 three four five hundred feet connecting that shit. You know 0:57:55.040 --> 0:57:57.160 what I'm saying I was the one like when you 0:57:57.280 --> 0:58:01.680 see power plants put together. I'm a post a pitch 0:58:01.720 --> 0:58:04.560 of tomorrow.

I can be a 0:59:21.320 --> 0:59:24.120 great dad. I'm working fourteen fifteen hours a day, seven 0:59:24.200 --> 0:59:28.120 days a week. It's impossible, right, So and I left that. 0:59:28.240 --> 0:59:30.280 I went to go do I built two more power 0:59:30.320 --> 0:59:34.880 plants in Louisiana because I wanted to be closer in 0:59:34.920 --> 0:59:39.400 New Orleans. So I was like, now I was making, 0:59:39.560 --> 0:59:42.160 depending on where I was at, anywhere between twenty eight 0:59:42.160 --> 0:59:45.040 and thirty five hours an hour plus overtime plus per 0:59:45.120 --> 0:59:47.960 damn it did. So it was like, man, it's too 0:59:48.040 --> 0:59:51.000 much time, Like I can't be with my daughter. So 0:59:51.160 --> 0:59:53.080 I was like, all right, So I used to take 0:59:53.120 --> 0:59:55.480 off on purpose, like I'm gonna be with my daughter. Man, 0:59:55.480 --> 0:59:57.400 I don't care what y'all talking about. Because I never 0:59:57.440 --> 0:59:59.960 wanted nobody to have control over me, and I remember, 1:00:00.520 --> 1:00:02.320 you know, I was investing my money. And I remember 1:00:02.400 --> 1:00:04.880 again my friend Dan Yell, she showed me how to 1:00:04.960 --> 1:00:08.000 write an e book.

And I 1:00:12.600 --> 1:00:15.000 remember I wrote my second ebook. When I wrote my 1:00:15.120 --> 1:00:19.400 second ebook, I was like, yo, like I got something 1:00:19.880 --> 1:00:21.920 because people were like, yo, the way you talk, bro, 1:00:22.160 --> 1:00:24.760 like I can understand it.

I was saying the same work ethic I 1:05:16.240 --> 1:05:18.520 had getting up every day going work ten twelve hours. 1:05:18.600 --> 1:05:21.320 Somebody else I would get up in the morning, comment on. 1:05:21.440 --> 1:05:25.680 People, page, create content, talk to people, find something people. 1:05:25.720 --> 1:05:28.520 To go all in on yourself. Don't think that the 1:05:28.680 --> 1:05:31.320 money that them people paying you from that job. You 1:05:31.400 --> 1:05:34.320 can do that for yourself.

When you go to work, that takes 1:05:39.800 --> 1:05:42.120 away that eight to ten hours a day you could 1:05:42.160 --> 1:05:45.960 be building relationships and working on your business. Cause it's 1:05:46.040 --> 1:05:50.640 real hard. It's real hard mentally and emotionally to get 1:05:50.680 --> 1:05:53.480 off of a job and then go to building your business. 1:05:53.760 --> 1:05:57.920 I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's real hard. But 1:05:58.040 --> 1:05:59.919 at some point in order for you to take yourself 1:06:00.080 --> 1:06:03.000 to the next level, you're gonna have to leave that job. 1:06:03.440 --> 1:06:05.640 You're gonna have to burn that ship. You're gonna have 1:06:05.800 --> 1:06:08.920 to say it's all of nothing. You're gonna have to 1:06:09.000 --> 1:06:13.840 say it. It's gonna work. I'm gonna die one. It 1:06:14.120 --> 1:06:19.720 is gonna work. All my credit calls, I had full 1:06:19.760 --> 1:06:22.480 credit call. I said, all right, this how much it 1:06:22.560 --> 1:06:24.800 cost me to live? And I'm not gonna lie and 1:06:24.840 --> 1:06:27.160 say I didn't have no money in the bank. I 1:06:27.280 --> 1:06:29.480 had about eight thousand dollars in the bank, but I 1:06:29.600 --> 1:06:33.320 had literally at this time, I had like sixty thousand 1:06:33.320 --> 1:06:35.840 dollars in a stock marble. This is what I told myself, 1:06:36.760 --> 1:06:40.600 I will maxill every credit card and sell every stock 1:06:40.720 --> 1:06:44.840 I own before I go back to that job. I 1:06:44.960 --> 1:06:47.360 told I was willing to do that. You gotta put 1:06:47.400 --> 1:06:49.200 it in your mind that you're willing to go all 1:06:49.320 --> 1:06:52.440 in at all costs to see your dream and your 1:06:52.520 --> 1:06:54.959 vision come through. If you put that type of energy 1:06:55.000 --> 1:06:57.720 into the universe, and the universe gonna reward you.

Or 1:18:42.720 --> 1:18:44.320 he really want to get close, so he want to 1:18:44.320 --> 1:18:46.040 be on the platform and he want to do this, 1:18:46.200 --> 1:18:48.559 So it's not really so much he don't he don't 1:18:48.600 --> 1:18:49.080 really hate me. 1:18:49.479 --> 1:18:53.200 He actually it's just confused. It's confused admiration. He don't 1:18:53.240 --> 1:18:54.360 know how to fully express it. 1:18:55.120 --> 1:18:57.280 That's the fact Ian said, we'd be having to call 1:18:57.320 --> 1:19:00.280 on trap down Like I just feel like like bro 1:19:00.479 --> 1:19:04.479 like and this is how I feel, the like I've 1:19:04.560 --> 1:19:07.760 poured so much into y'all. Y'all pulled so much into me. 1:19:07.880 --> 1:19:11.240 We invested in one another, right like. And I'm not 1:19:11.360 --> 1:19:13.519 the person to just be cool with people all the time. 1:19:14.160 --> 1:19:17.080 So like, if I hear somebody say something bad about y'all, 1:19:18.400 --> 1:19:21.240 I gotta say something because if I want, if I 1:19:21.360 --> 1:19:23.880 come back and tell y'all somebody saying something, the first 1:19:23.920 --> 1:19:26.200 thing you should ask me is why did they feel 1:19:26.240 --> 1:19:31.920 comfortable saying that shit around you? What kind of conversation 1:19:32.040 --> 1:19:34.519 y'all have? Well, that shit was even acceptable to come 1:19:34.560 --> 1:19:37.840 out their mouth? You feel what I'm saying. So for me, 1:19:37.920 --> 1:19:41.160 it's like, nah, fam, like you got an issue? Right Like? 1:19:41.240 --> 1:19:44.240 What's good? You know what I'm saying? What's damn?

I know that we all here just. 1:19:49.920 --> 1:19:53.760 Doing good to our people, like we not out here 1:19:54.680 --> 1:19:55.559 scamming people. 1:19:55.720 --> 1:19:58.720 Were not out here being this lord bro like they 1:19:58.720 --> 1:20:02.479 don't understand like they get the finished the people get 1:20:02.520 --> 1:20:07.439 the finished product. They don't understand the research that Troy doing. 1:20:07.800 --> 1:20:10.120 They don't understand the band of Troy had between being 1:20:10.200 --> 1:20:14.120 a husband a father. They don't researching for this. They 1:20:14.160 --> 1:20:17.000 don't understand how you bring your son the AEU and 1:20:17.160 --> 1:20:20.280 doing this. They don't understand how I gotta fly back 1:20:20.360 --> 1:20:22.240 to New Orleans come here. Oh, I still gotta do 1:20:22.320 --> 1:20:24.200 trapping to this. I still got to me a content. 1:20:24.200 --> 1:20:26.479 They don't understand how I and in home homeschool is 1:20:26.520 --> 1:20:30.240 Xander all day and then still making fifteen slides. 1:20:29.840 --> 1:20:32.519 Because Ian is the father the Yeah, I still don't 1:20:32.560 --> 1:20:34.920 understand how he does that? Like you feel mean to 1:20:34.960 --> 1:20:38.759 be doing homeschool all day every day. They don't understand 1:20:38.840 --> 1:20:40.679 that all they get is the finished product. 1:20:41.080 --> 1:20:43.479 You know what I'm saying. So for me, I can't 1:20:43.520 --> 1:20:46.040 have nobody talking about my people if I know my 1:20:46.200 --> 1:20:49.240 people doing good work out here. You know what I'm saying, 1:20:49.400 --> 1:20:51.320 So no, that shit not gonna be acceptable to me 1:20:51.960 --> 1:20:55.120 at all. You know what I'm saying. And then you know, 1:20:55.439 --> 1:20:57.920 instead of you putting that type of energy out, I 1:20:58.080 --> 1:21:01.400 want you to say, damn like them dudes really putting 1:21:01.439 --> 1:21:04.200 on because I know what we're doing, Like I know 1:21:04.320 --> 1:21:04.760 this ain't no. 1:21:05.200 --> 1:21:06.360 I know y'all just don't. 1:21:06.640 --> 1:21:08.559 Oh yeah, bro, let's just go through market moneys. Bro, 1:21:08.680 --> 1:21:11.879 let's do this like I know the relationship you building. 1:21:12.280 --> 1:21:14.960 I know the conversations you haven't. You know what I'm saying. 1:21:15.040 --> 1:21:16.920 I know that what you're putting out that to make 1:21:16.960 --> 1:21:19.600 this ship what is bro? Like this ain't no, This 1:21:19.760 --> 1:21:22.920 ain't easy. There's two years of blood, sweating, tears. This 1:21:23.040 --> 1:21:25.519 comes from iPhones that having ten thousand dollars, the equipment 1:21:25.600 --> 1:21:28.000 to make up real you know what I'm saying. I 1:21:28.200 --> 1:21:30.760 know what y'all putting in. This ain't no easy. You 1:21:30.840 --> 1:21:33.640 know what I'm saying. So and then what happens now 1:21:33.920 --> 1:21:36.639 is when you tell that story like yo, we did 1:21:36.680 --> 1:21:39.719 this with iPhones and now we got you know however 1:21:39.880 --> 1:21:42.800 much And like that's somebody who thought about putting a 1:21:42.880 --> 1:21:47.160 podcast together saying I can do it. You feel me. 1:21:47.400 --> 1:21:49.240 That's somebody saying but I ain't never invest in the 1:21:49.280 --> 1:21:53.960 stock before. But shit, from seeing Wallstreet trapping Ian and 1:21:54.080 --> 1:21:56.040 y'all talk about it, I know I can do it. 1:21:56.520 --> 1:21:58.320 I ain't never heard the futures before. But I hear 1:21:58.400 --> 1:21:59.479 Ian talk about all the time. 1:21:59.720 --> 1:22:00.360 I do it. 1:22:00.640 --> 1:22:02.920 I ain't never heard about dividends or whatever for Trapp 1:22:03.000 --> 1:22:05.479 talk about, but I can do it. So it's now 1:22:05.760 --> 1:22:09.040 it's a transition to saying, Yo, we all got a story. 1:22:09.520 --> 1:22:12.640 This is how we connect, this is what's possible. And 1:22:12.720 --> 1:22:15.120 I think that's what we represent. I think we were 1:22:15.400 --> 1:22:19.560 We represent what's possible on the level that's attainable, you 1:22:19.640 --> 1:22:21.800 know what I'm saying. And I think that's what people 1:22:21.920 --> 1:22:24.240 need to see and that's what people enjoy and that's 1:22:24.240 --> 1:22:27.360 what people love. Because now, Bro, I literally was talking 1:22:27.360 --> 1:22:34.000 to my assistant today and I got excited. I said, Man, 1:22:34.040 --> 1:22:36.720 people really fucking me. She was like, she was like, 1:22:36.800 --> 1:22:39.519 excuse her. I was like, man, really fucking me. You 1:22:39.560 --> 1:22:42.680 don't really understand. It's Voss She ting shit serious. So 1:22:42.800 --> 1:22:45.120 she's like, what are you talking about? So I sent 1:22:45.160 --> 1:22:50.640 her a clip from somebody from Trapping Toolsies. He had 1:22:50.680 --> 1:22:53.800 a it was inside of a whipping pot and he said, 1:22:54.360 --> 1:22:57.760 I'm whipping this shit up like well, and he had 1:22:58.280 --> 1:23:02.840 he had me too, is going on why he was 1:23:02.960 --> 1:23:03.760 riving the thing up? 1:23:03.800 --> 1:23:07.960 And I said that was so that made me feel 1:23:08.080 --> 1:23:11.960 so good to know, like Yo, were pouring into it, 1:23:12.160 --> 1:23:15.280 Like what we're doing is real, you know what I'm saying. 1:23:15.360 --> 1:23:18.280 And so for me, the reason why I'm always happy, 1:23:18.320 --> 1:23:21.240 I'm always smiling, I'm always because I get to use 1:23:21.320 --> 1:23:24.880 those same experiences from the street and package that into 1:23:25.000 --> 1:23:28.160 this message and people get it, Bro, Like that's what 1:23:28.320 --> 1:23:30.840 purpose is, man. And I'm gonna tell you all this. Man. 1:23:30.880 --> 1:23:32.559 I know we've been know how much I'm gonna go. Bro, 1:23:32.960 --> 1:23:36.920 I'm gonna say this. Your purpose has nothing to do 1:23:37.040 --> 1:23:41.960 with you and everything to do with other people. So 1:23:42.160 --> 1:23:45.360 many other people's success is to tie to your purpose. 1:23:45.720 --> 1:23:48.200 And when you don't walk in your purpose, you denying 1:23:48.240 --> 1:23:52.880 people are the success. Say that again, your purpose has 1:23:53.040 --> 1:23:56.960 nothing to do with you, and it has everything to 1:23:57.040 --> 1:24:00.840 do with other people because your purpose is attached to 1:24:01.000 --> 1:24:04.360 other people's success. When you don't walk in your purpose, 1:24:04.680 --> 1:24:07.720 you don't allow other people to be successful. If Earn 1:24:07.760 --> 1:24:11.120 your Leasion doesn't start this podcast, how many people be 1:24:11.360 --> 1:24:16.160 awoke to financial literacy? If Wall Street Trapper doesn't start 1:24:16.280 --> 1:24:19.639 this how many people will understand like, Yo, I really 1:24:19.720 --> 1:24:22.920 need to be investing my money, so our purpose has 1:24:23.120 --> 1:24:27.960 nothing to do with us. Nothing. Somebody else's purpose is 1:24:28.840 --> 1:24:33.280 what our success is attached to. But our purpose is 1:24:33.360 --> 1:24:36.720 attached to so many other people's success. Man, But that's 1:24:36.720 --> 1:24:38.679 why we got to keep going. So they got fourteen 1:24:38.760 --> 1:24:41.200 hundred people on here, twelve hundred people on here. I 1:24:41.280 --> 1:24:43.599 need you all to be walking on y'all purpose because 1:24:43.720 --> 1:24:48.360 if for those people, there's other people's success that's tied 1:24:48.400 --> 1:24:49.760 to y'all and you. 1:24:49.760 --> 1:24:51.120 Can't and you can't be scared either. 1:24:51.160 --> 1:24:53.720 I told Troy, you know, Troy tells the story all 1:24:53.760 --> 1:24:55.479 the time, Like you know, I told him a long 1:24:55.520 --> 1:24:57.800 time ago. I say, look, you're not gonna be working 1:24:57.840 --> 1:24:59.360 your job no more. I'm gonna make sure that or 1:24:59.439 --> 1:25:01.280 make sure you know your job no more. So now 1:25:01.320 --> 1:25:02.640 you know what I'm saying. He's not working a job. 1:25:02.680 --> 1:25:04.800 But I remember, like a couple of years ago. You know, Troy, 1:25:05.320 --> 1:25:07.519 he no choice you're making. So he comes from a 1:25:07.560 --> 1:25:09.960 West Indian family and it was just hard workers. You know, 1:25:10.320 --> 1:25:12.040 if you know what you're making. They got three jobs 1:25:12.040 --> 1:25:14.400 since they eight year old. Like they just work like 1:25:14.439 --> 1:25:15.920 they know, they know what I'm saying. They're good people. 1:25:15.960 --> 1:25:18.360 They just they just know about work. He's not really 1:25:18.400 --> 1:25:22.080 from an entrepreneur background, so I was always telling him like, yo, nah, 1:25:22.120 --> 1:25:24.000 you're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna be doing this full time. 1:25:24.040 --> 1:25:25.680 And then I remember, you know, he was always like, no, 1:25:25.800 --> 1:25:27.880 you know, I'm I'm calling my calling is to teach. 1:25:27.920 --> 1:25:28.720 My call is to teach. 1:25:29.960 --> 1:25:33.680 And I'm like I told him, I said, look, no disrespect, 1:25:33.920 --> 1:25:39.240 but I'm like, uh, there's millions of physical education teachers, 1:25:39.960 --> 1:25:42.960 any anybody, I said, anybody could be a physical education teacher, 1:25:43.479 --> 1:25:46.240 but only a select feel can actually change the world. 1:25:46.760 --> 1:25:49.360 I'm like, I'm like, you can change the world, Like 1:25:49.360 --> 1:25:51.960 you know what I'm saying, You're mission, your purpose on life. 1:25:52.600 --> 1:25:55.400 It's bigger than being a physical education teacher, Like you 1:25:55.520 --> 1:25:58.679 got the ability to change the world. And to see 1:25:58.800 --> 1:26:00.080 like that's true, like you know what I'm saying. And 1:26:00.200 --> 1:26:02.800 so it's like even him, like you know what I'm saying, 1:26:02.880 --> 1:26:05.280 Like now he's transitioning with this is full time now, 1:26:05.400 --> 1:26:07.200 like you know what I'm saying. And it's like for me, 1:26:07.720 --> 1:26:11.439 that's that's that's just dope to see his transition because 1:26:11.520 --> 1:26:13.360 like I said, me, I always was an entrepreneur, but 1:26:13.439 --> 1:26:16.879 he wasn't always an entrepreneur. So to go from education 1:26:17.360 --> 1:26:21.120 to now educating, but now you're educating millions of people. 1:26:21.880 --> 1:26:24.479 It's like, what if you would have had that mindset 1:26:24.520 --> 1:26:27.280 of like no, I can't leave my job, you know 1:26:27.280 --> 1:26:29.120 what I'm saying, Like it would have never happened. 1:26:29.640 --> 1:26:33.200 I remember telling Troy that so like I remember when 1:26:33.200 --> 1:26:35.760 I when I came, did the podcast and we built 1:26:35.880 --> 1:26:37.799 I remember Traul was like, Yo, this is a classic. 1:26:38.520 --> 1:26:40.880 I was like, and I was like telling y'all like bro, 1:26:41.080 --> 1:26:43.479 like nah, like what y'all doing is for real. And 1:26:43.560 --> 1:26:46.679 then once we started building our relationship, I remember telling 1:26:46.760 --> 1:26:49.599 Troy like, Troy, you gotta leave. You got to leave 1:26:49.640 --> 1:26:53.760 the job. Troy. I was like Troy, like, but shure, 1:26:53.800 --> 1:26:56.559 I can't just do it by myself, Like you got 1:26:56.680 --> 1:26:58.920 to leave the job. And then when the pandemic happened, 1:26:59.720 --> 1:27:03.200 you know, I was like Troy like I gotta leave, 1:27:04.000 --> 1:27:07.280 like it's time. I was like the pressure on. And 1:27:07.360 --> 1:27:09.040 then I remember when he did it. He called me 1:27:09.160 --> 1:27:13.360 like I did a trap. I was like what you did? 1:27:13.439 --> 1:27:16.120 He was like, it ain't no going back. And I 1:27:16.200 --> 1:27:18.479 knew what that meant because I was deb before. You 1:27:18.560 --> 1:27:20.519 know what I'm saying, I knew I know that feeling 1:27:20.640 --> 1:27:28.840 of I'm excited, but I'm like, could I just do that? Like, 1:27:28.960 --> 1:27:30.680 did I just make up my mind to say that? 1:27:31.360 --> 1:27:34.560 And here's the thing for me, Tuto. For me, the 1:27:34.640 --> 1:27:37.120 scariest part wasn't just leaving my job. That was the 1:27:37.200 --> 1:27:39.960 easy part. I'm gonna just be honest with you. The 1:27:40.040 --> 1:27:43.719 scariest part for me was saying I'm gonna leave my job, 1:27:44.760 --> 1:27:47.360 go back to New Orleans and not get back in 1:27:47.400 --> 1:27:50.920 the streets at all. That was the hard part. That 1:27:51.080 --> 1:27:53.800 was the scary part for me, the scary part. And 1:27:53.920 --> 1:27:57.880 and please let me, I wasn't no l trap or 1:27:57.960 --> 1:28:00.519 nothing like that. Please let me let me. I'm not 1:28:00.800 --> 1:28:03.880 telling that type of favory tale story, right. I was just, 1:28:04.240 --> 1:28:06.519 you know, a street dude, just doing what street dudes do. 1:28:07.320 --> 1:28:10.720 And so for me, it was saying I'm gonna quit 1:28:10.800 --> 1:28:14.639 my job. That's the easy part of all. Part back 1:28:14.760 --> 1:28:18.639 to my culture, my hood, well not my hood because 1:28:18.680 --> 1:28:21.320 my hood ain't been the same as years, but my culture, 1:28:21.880 --> 1:28:25.320 my city where I know I know how to get around, 1:28:25.880 --> 1:28:27.680 and I'm not gonna get back in the street no 1:28:27.840 --> 1:28:30.960 matter how hard this shit get, because if I get 1:28:31.000 --> 1:28:34.080 back in the street, I'm not dedicated to the mission 1:28:34.520 --> 1:28:37.560 like I say I am.
