Speaker 1: We give each other ideas to see y'all pushing then,
Speaker 1: you know, to see y'all growing into other avenues. Man, Man,
Speaker 1: that's just amazing to see. I think I was just
Speaker 1: I think I just text you was not too long ago,

Speaker 2: We were listening to Oh I had sent y'all a picture.
Speaker 1: Of the the artist that just got killed, and you know,
Speaker 1: conversation about you know the other dudes shout out to
Speaker 1: those dudes in their families, and I said, Man, the
Speaker 1: culture need us, bro. You know what I'm saying me,
Speaker 1: you everybody have a instrumental role and how we progress
Speaker 1: forward as a culture. You know what I'm saying, and
Speaker 1: what happens is I know, like for me, I know
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of people who my language is
Speaker 1: made in designed for you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: I know that that language touches so many people and
Speaker 1: it resonates with so many people. And so even myself,
Speaker 1: like I was talking to my team like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: show you something right quick, bro, just to just be
Speaker 1: transparent and shit with you. Bro.
Speaker 2: Literally I put a white board up this everything this
Speaker 2: me you feel.
Speaker 1: Me Like, literally sat down, bro, or I don't want
Speaker 1: to listen. So I literally sat down and like the
Speaker 1: last couple of days, man, just sat down and like
Speaker 1: mapped out like what I want to do, how I
Speaker 1: want to take the business to the next level, How
Speaker 1: I want to get the message out the people that
Speaker 1: I want to affect. How do I double down on
Speaker 1: the people that I know needs to hear my voice?
Speaker 2: You feel what I'm saying, So you know it's important.
Speaker 1: You know, even with y'all saying we're about to start
Speaker 1: the EYL network, that's understanding how much influence y'all have, right,
Speaker 1: that's understanding.
Speaker 5: Yo.
Speaker 1: Like, Okay, we talked sports in this, but you know
Speaker 1: we had the conversation. I was like, yo, like a woman,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And we was like yeah,
Speaker 1: because we know women need to hear it. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and so we know we need a
Speaker 1: so for y'all, you know, it's like I don't wanna
Speaker 1: say that role.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna say, like, no limit.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, y'all have the vehicle
Speaker 1: for so many people who have voices, and I know,
Speaker 1: I know, I know you, I know Troy, I know
Speaker 1: the whole squad. So I know the people that y'all
Speaker 1: do bring in under the network, they're gonna be people
Speaker 1: who you know who y'all know can you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, shout out to neo. Man, It's gonna be
Speaker 1: people who y'all know that can bring you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's not just anybody I got a podcast.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a certain type of people, a certain
Speaker 1: type of energy that y'all gonna bring forth. So I'm
Speaker 1: excited to see that, man, because you know this is
Speaker 1: what you know. Every era has something, whether it was
Speaker 1: you know, our people were protesting, whether it was fighting
Speaker 1: for the right to vote, every era has something, but
Speaker 1: no era ever had the capital to take them to
Speaker 1: the next level. And I think what happens with y'all
Speaker 1: all and with myself, we are now teaching people how
Speaker 1: to get the capital to now make the change, because
Speaker 1: I mean, I heard a lot of people feeling before
Speaker 1: when I said this, and I said, man, nobody don't
Speaker 1: care what the broke person at the table got to see.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And I mean that from
Speaker 1: a cultural standpoint, like the black culture is rich and consume,
Speaker 1: wealthy and consumerism. But when we wonta sit down and
Speaker 1: say this is what we want to do, Like how
Speaker 1: much money y'all got found? You know what I'm saying, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: y'all represent two point two trillion dollars, but that's consumerism. Yeah,
Speaker 1: us do y'all have toward moving Okay, So now you say, okay,
Speaker 1: we got two point two trillion dollars and now we
Speaker 1: lobby in our vote. Now your vote means something. You
Speaker 1: want the black vote, you want the brown vote. This
Speaker 1: is how much money, what you're gonna do for us?
Speaker 1: And now we bring ourselves to a position with money.
Speaker 1: Now you got a hold, Now you really got a voice.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So the Financial Literacy podcast,
Speaker 1: what y'all bringing to the table, where I'm bringing, I
Speaker 1: think that's what puts us in a situation. So now
Speaker 1: because now we're gonna say, yo, we're not We're not
Speaker 1: the number one consumers normal, we're the number one investor.
Speaker 1: We represent two point two trillion capital, not money.
Speaker 2: That's a fact. And I think shout out to Ian,
Speaker 2: shout out to my brother Neo.
Speaker 3: Want to check in real What you're saying is like
Speaker 3: I remember Ian said that on market Monday. Is a
Speaker 3: few weeks soo he said a few times and he
Speaker 3: was like, you know, take a survey of your family,
Speaker 3: your friends or whatever, like say you need to call
Speaker 3: them and say I need five thousand dollars today or
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get killed, and they gonna say, I want
Speaker 3: to pray for you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pray for you.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pray for you.
Speaker 3: I said, because the problem is that, and not to
Speaker 3: like disrespect prayer, but the reason why they're gonna pray
Speaker 3: for you is they don't have it.
Speaker 2: Yep, none you can do. Like, if you don't have it,
Speaker 2: you don't have to.
Speaker 3: So it's like I relate that to like, Okay, I
Speaker 3: got five thousand dollars, I want to buy this truck,
Speaker 3: or I need five thousand dollars to buy this house.
Speaker 3: They just gonna be like, no, let's.
Speaker 1: Come to that for five thousand dollars to get a
Speaker 1: piece of proper and they're gonna be like, catch me
Speaker 1: when I get my taxes. You know, so.
Speaker 2: Is us saying we all then been victims.
Speaker 1: You know. I posted something today and I said, tradition
Speaker 1: is pure pressure by dead people.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I like that say that again.
Speaker 1: Tradition is pure pressure from dead people, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And it's nothing against the people that came
Speaker 1: before us. But the tradition that we fallen into is
Speaker 1: ship that we done got from people that left before us.
Speaker 1: They didn't have access to the knowledge. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you all a quick story that I read a while back. Man,
Speaker 1: it's right quick. It said that for Thanksgiving, and I
Speaker 1: mean for Christmas time, a great grandchild asked the mother
Speaker 1: as a grand a grandchild asked the mother. A daughter
Speaker 1: asked her mother, mom, why do you cut the ends
Speaker 1: off the hand when you put it in the oven?
Speaker 1: And a mama said, man, you know, my you know
Speaker 1: your grandmother taught me that. So that the granddaughter went
Speaker 1: to the grandmother and said, Grandma, like, why do you
Speaker 1: cut the ends off of the hand? Why did my
Speaker 1: mama cut the ends off of the ham when she
Speaker 1: puts it in the oven? The grandmother said, my great
Speaker 1: my grand my mother taught me that. Let's go asswer
Speaker 1: she over here. So she went to the great grandmother
Speaker 1: and said, great grandmother, why do you cut the ends
Speaker 1: off of that? Why did my mama cut the ends
Speaker 1: off of the ham when she put it in the oven?
Speaker 2: She said, oh, because we didn't have.
Speaker 1: The hand was too big for the pants we had,
Speaker 1: so we had to cut the ham off to get
Speaker 1: it in a pan. And so now we don't follow
Speaker 1: the whole tradition where they don't waste it that you
Speaker 1: feel what I'm saying, not knowing how that came about,
Speaker 1: and you just following that tradition. So what happens is
Speaker 1: now you know, oh, I can't get into debt what
Speaker 1: like it's a such thing as good debt?
Speaker 2: You know, I shouldn't have credit called learn how to
Speaker 2: leverage credit?
Speaker 1: You know? You know it's just a house is an asset? Well,
Speaker 1: when does it become an asset? Like, learn that it's
Speaker 1: not an asset until certain things happen, You feel what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I think what happens is for us
Speaker 1: we that's what so important about the time we a
Speaker 1: right now again and what y'all doing as being the
Speaker 1: front runners, bro, Like I appreciate y'all. Man, y'all the
Speaker 1: front runner, you know what I'm saying, And we all
Speaker 1: come together to push the culture one way, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And if once we understand that, once
Speaker 1: we understand the importance of the financial literacy, that's our
Speaker 1: only hope. Man, you know what I'm saying. That's our
Speaker 1: only hopes. Once we understand knowledge how to play that money,
Speaker 1: how to work that money, how to leverage that money,
Speaker 1: how to leverage these banks, how to leverage the stock marke,
Speaker 1: how to leverage credit, we become real dangerous right there.
Speaker 1: We're not dangerous because we can shoot guns. Yo. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: We talked about our group chats, and we talked about
Speaker 3: in the group chat, and it's a powerful group chat.
Speaker 2: And it's like one of these days, man, I pray.
Speaker 3: I said, like, you know, this music is affecting a
Speaker 3: lot of people, bro even myself. Like I had to
Speaker 3: you know, I had to really check myself. Nobody is
Speaker 3: above reproach. I had to check myself cause I was
Speaker 3: like on, like you watch a YouTube video. Then I'm
Speaker 3: watching another YouTube video and I'm like this this this
Speaker 3: rapper has beef with that rapper, and I'm like researching,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, yo, I just spent the hour researching
Speaker 3: some gang beef in the Midwest, Like why why did
Speaker 3: I just spend the hour out of my day doing that?
Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying, Like what value did
Speaker 2: that add to my life?
Speaker 3: So it's like it's real because it's like you're listening
Speaker 3: to this music a lot, and it's conditioning you without
Speaker 3: you actually really noticing it. And it's like I told you,
Speaker 3: Like I told I had this conversation my barber, I
Speaker 3: don't feel no other culture has.
Speaker 2: The same pressures that we face. It's like a sandtrap.
Speaker 3: Like this whole street thing is like a sandtrap where
Speaker 3: it's like it's like a vortex, it like sucks you in.
Speaker 3: The Street culture has just been glorified for so long,
Speaker 3: and it's like it's just crazy, Like we glorify poverty,
Speaker 3: we glorify violence, we glorify spending money. And I pray,
Speaker 3: I pray that these artists, these young artists, really realize
Speaker 3: the power in their voice because like I said, even
Speaker 3: to me, like I'm saying like not to say that
Speaker 3: hip hop is gonna ruin my life, but I have
Speaker 3: to detox myself from rap.
Speaker 2: And I love Wrap. I love Wrap with a passion.
Speaker 3: But it's like these influences that you that you're putting in,
Speaker 3: you're not really even realizing what you're actually doing. Like
Speaker 3: I was out, I was in Manhattan yesterday, I was
Speaker 3: at dinner and I'm sitting next to his table, and
Speaker 3: it was like all white people.
Speaker 2: This white guy. I kid you not.
Speaker 3: It was like the craziest thing, because you know, I'm
Speaker 3: ill hustling. I'm at dinner, but I'm ill hustling. So
Speaker 3: the dude probably like in his twenties, like mid twenties,
Speaker 3: and he's talking to some other people and he's like,
Speaker 3: he literally said this. He said, I don't spend no money.
Speaker 3: He said, I pay my rent groceries. Every single dollar
Speaker 3: that I get after that goes to the stock market.
Speaker 3: He said, I will spend no money. Then they start
Speaker 3: talking about stocks. He started talking about et After that,
Speaker 3: he said, every single discretionary dollar that I have goes
Speaker 3: to the stock market. But that conversation was normal, Like
Speaker 3: I'm listening to that conversation and they just randomly talking
Speaker 3: like you know what I'm saying. So we have to
Speaker 3: get normalized like that, and we have to understand that
Speaker 3: for him to say that, right, And then I'm listening
Speaker 3: to another podcast and I'm hearing a rapper and he
Speaker 3: was saying the first hundred thousand dollars that he got
Speaker 3: in life, the first one hundred thousand dollars that he
Speaker 3: got in life, he gave his mom ten thousand, he
Speaker 3: went to the jewelry store with the with the rest
Speaker 3: and he was broke again.
Speaker 2: And then another rapper.
Speaker 3: Was saying how he had a four hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 3: tab at Gucci. So I'm like, how do you how
Speaker 3: do you have a four hundred thousand dollars tab at Gucci?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. And it's like, we.
Speaker 3: Gotta we gota. We gotta realize that this game is
Speaker 3: being played. And we were pawns on the chessboard, like
Speaker 3: poms on the chessboard, just being moved around. So you know,
Speaker 3: the awakening and actually realizing financial literacy is life to death. Man, Like,
Speaker 3: Like you know, we've had these conversations plenty of times
Speaker 3: where there's plenty of people doing you know, jail time
Speaker 3: for making decisions that it wasn't really even that much
Speaker 3: money in the grand scheme of I was like, you
Speaker 3: could you could have made that money in wholesaling, real
Speaker 3: estate or the machines all.
Speaker 1: Yo, Like here's a real life fact about myself. And
Speaker 1: you know I've said it like when the people, you know,
Speaker 1: we had a conversation again and were like trapped, Like
Speaker 1: I think Matt Matt said. He was like. Matt was like, man,
Speaker 1: look at trap, look at trap, and both of us
Speaker 1: was like, yo, that's like it's one of me for
Speaker 1: every ten thousand people in the streets. And I don't
Speaker 1: mean it as to glorify the street. It's saying like
Speaker 1: all to get out of that. And we had the conversation.
Speaker 1: And because you become impregnated with the idea you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, of what you're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying you you get impregnated of
Speaker 1: with the idea of you know, I gotta have these
Speaker 1: I gotta have this jewelry, right, and I gotta have
Speaker 1: you know, these guns. And I got to talk about
Speaker 1: killing it and I ain't never you know, did none
Speaker 1: of that. And I because they have it's pressure, right,
Speaker 1: And I remember something you just said, like the money
Speaker 1: not worth it, bro Like I remember this literally, this
Speaker 1: is one of the things that made me get out
Speaker 1: the street real talk. I remember me and my partner
Speaker 1: was supposed to go hit this lick. And I remember
Speaker 1: like me being a guy, like after I started, after
Speaker 1: I had got found out guilty, I was broke. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying and I was like, damn, that
Speaker 1: shit cost me like sixty thousand dollars. Like that shit
Speaker 1: it broke me, like real talk, it broke me.
Speaker 2: And I was like, damn. So I started, you know it,
Speaker 2: just hitting licks and shit.
Speaker 1: And I remember supposed to hit this lick for like
Speaker 1: eighty thousand dollars, and I remember when we get in
Speaker 1: the lick, you know, things ain't go right. We wound
Speaker 1: up getting like eight thousand dollars. And I remember telling
Speaker 1: myself after we split the eight thousand dollars between me
Speaker 1: and three people, I'm like, bro I couldn't even pay
Speaker 1: for a lawyer if I would have got caught with this,
Speaker 1: because I'm already broke. You know what I'm saying, I'm
Speaker 1: already broke. And if I get caught for this, yo,
Speaker 1: I don't even got money to pay for a lawyer.
Speaker 1: And that was one of the main that made me sit, man,
Speaker 1: this ain't worth it for me. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: It's time for me to bow gracefully. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Whatever I did, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: And so what happens is in this What happens in
Speaker 1: this game is people often think once I get the money,
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna learn how to become financially literate. But
Speaker 1: if you don't know how to invest one hundred dollars,
Speaker 1: if you don't know how to invest a hundred, you
Speaker 1: can't invest ten thousand. If you can't invest one hundred,
Speaker 1: you can't invest a million. You feel what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because what's gonna happen is you gonna you don't understand.
Speaker 1: We done have this conversation about how easy it is.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna tell you all a conversation me and
Speaker 1: Rashadam had one time and I said, bro, what's your number?
Speaker 1: My brother was like, man, ten million is the number.
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, ten million is a good number,
Speaker 1: and both of us did the same thing at the
Speaker 1: same time. Because you can blow a million, you know,
Speaker 1: like you can blow a million without even thinking about it.
Speaker 1: And so because and I'm gonna tell you why you
Speaker 1: can blow a million without thinking about it, because the
Speaker 1: value of the dollar continuously decreases as the price of
Speaker 1: everything goes up.
Speaker 3: You feel I want you to understand. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm trying. I want I want you to finish that.
Speaker 3: But you know what's real though, you know what's real.
Speaker 3: This is really real.
Speaker 1: Talk about it.
Speaker 2: Bro Growing up, we think, well, at least me, I
Speaker 2: saw it.
Speaker 3: One hundred thousand dollars was a lot of money, like
Speaker 3: six figures, Like you hear your pay. You're coming from
Speaker 3: working class environment. Six figures is like go to school,
Speaker 3: you can make six figures. You know, when you realize
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand, it's not a lot when you make
Speaker 3: a hundred thousand, So the next thing, the next thing
Speaker 3: is to become a millionaire.
Speaker 2: That's like the next thing, a millionaire, millionaire.
Speaker 3: You know when you realize one million dollars isn't a lot.
Speaker 3: When you make one million dollars, you make a million
Speaker 3: and your life and nothing changes. That's a fact.
Speaker 1: No, that's a fact.
Speaker 2: That's a fact.
Speaker 3: Like you know what I'm saying, because it's like you
Speaker 3: you think your whole life a million dollars is ill
Speaker 3: like a million dollars is like you like Scrooge McDuff
Speaker 3: and you make a million dollars and it's like a
Speaker 3: couple of purchases and it's gone, done, it's gone, and.
Speaker 1: So something damn. So often people get mad at wealthy people.
Speaker 1: I've heard people say this all the time you gotta
Speaker 1: they got enough money?
Speaker 2: What they're trying to get more money for? You feel
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And in my mind I never understood that because his
Speaker 1: here's how I look at it, like why not get
Speaker 1: the money if they keep printing every day? And the
Speaker 1: problem is this, you saw a customer having the mindset
Speaker 1: what you have a scarcity mindset? Like you don't understand,
Speaker 1: Like like, I'm not gonna lie you're like once I
Speaker 1: once I seen a hunted legally. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's crazy, Like like what you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like you start setting up. That's why I just showed
Speaker 1: you all that white board like the gold is for
Speaker 1: me because me and my brothers them sitting down, I'm like,
Speaker 1: what's the number? What's the retard?
Speaker 2: Like, what's the number?
Speaker 1: We can really say, yo, we we don't our family
Speaker 1: for real? Intien million was the number. Now here's the thing.
Speaker 1: To a small mind, ten million may be like man,
Speaker 1: but to us the ten million is just the beginning.
Speaker 1: It don't stop them because here's what happened. You're gonna
Speaker 1: be dead longer than you alive. So I'm gonna ask
Speaker 1: you this question. What happens when you're gone. Your family
Speaker 1: still need money, Your legacy still gotta go on. That
Speaker 1: ten million gonna be here for a minute, but it
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be here forever if you don't pass down
Speaker 1: the knowledge of how to turn that ten into twenty,
Speaker 1: how to turn that twenty into forty, how to turn
Speaker 1: that forty into eighty. I want you to ask yourself
Speaker 1: a question, yo, how many wealthy families that you know
Speaker 1: by naming You don't know how they got the money.
Speaker 1: You just know their name is associated with wealth. You
Speaker 1: just know their name because they turned their last name
Speaker 1: to an asset. When you think about the bully like
Speaker 1: Damn the Bushes, the clin like them, people have been
Speaker 1: had money, JP Morgan, them names are assets, right, and
Speaker 1: you got to do your research and start learning how
Speaker 1: that name became an asset. But the thing about those
Speaker 1: names is this, they never stopped making money. They never
Speaker 1: started making money, so they learned how to invest their money.
Speaker 1: They learn about how to become financial the literate. They
Speaker 1: learn the rules to the game. We don't know the
Speaker 1: rules to the game, so you gonna always be a poem.
Speaker 1: The objective of the game is to get the pawn
Speaker 1: to the other side of the balls or the pong
Speaker 1: and then become be whatever you wanted to be. Yoh,
Speaker 1: for real, learn how to play the game.
Speaker 3: Man, that's a fact. That's a fact. Man and Man
Speaker 3: the incomparable Wall Street Traffel.
Speaker 1: Man. Oh you Man, I know you want. I know
Speaker 1: you got some people you want to talk to. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to tell you man. You know, it's always
Speaker 1: I appreciate you being my brother. I appreciate the whole
Speaker 1: squad Man, Mike and everybody. Man, you know whatever, however,
Speaker 1: you know, however I'm bringing value to the team. It's
Speaker 1: always it's always put our egos to the side. How
Speaker 1: can we push the culture forward in our way? Man?
Speaker 1: So I just want to tell you, Man, I appreciate you. Man,
Speaker 1: I appreciate the squad.
Speaker 2: Man, keep doing that shit.
Speaker 1: I'm right here. I'm a phone call the way you
Speaker 1: already know.
Speaker 2: Bro Nahna, I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you one last question before okay,
Speaker 3: before you you hopped off. So can you tell people
Speaker 3: like some business game, like, how how important is it
Speaker 3: to diversify and to grow latterly, because it's like you
Speaker 3: know that we were just talking about like before you
Speaker 3: jump through as far as arnal Leisure, I feel like
Speaker 3: they've watched us grow and the same thing with you.
Speaker 3: So even with you, it's like you got you got
Speaker 3: Trappers Anonymous, you got the merch you you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, you got the educational portal, now you got
Speaker 3: your YouTube, and it's like a lot of times I
Speaker 3: feel like with just people in general, they get complacent
Speaker 3: with one thing, but you can never stop. It never stops,
Speaker 3: like you always gotta because the problem, which is one
Speaker 3: source of income is that is too close to none. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so how what's what's your what's your thoughts on that?
Speaker 3: And like what's your what's your what's your vision to
Speaker 3: grow your brand in twenty twenty one?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, So first I think what happens is
Speaker 1: you gotta start connecting with people, right, you gotta start
Speaker 1: connecting with people.
Speaker 2: So one of my biggest things was I was I come.
Speaker 1: From the street, like, so even in the streets, like
Speaker 1: one of the things one of my most important lessons
Speaker 1: in the street was always this, I had to connect
Speaker 1: with different hustlers in different areas so I can move
Speaker 1: product everywhere. You know what I'm saying, and if I didn't,
Speaker 1: if I wasn't able to move product everywhere, then I
Speaker 1: was stuck in one hood. And if I'm stuck in
Speaker 1: one hood, then I'm limiting my money. So I used
Speaker 1: to go to different hoods like connect with people like
Speaker 1: give dudes, and other hoods like big big deals, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So now I can come in
Speaker 1: another gangs the hood and be all right, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. They may have a couple of people
Speaker 1: like on some ill shit, but because I'm cool with
Speaker 1: this gangster right here and he official in his hood,
Speaker 1: I'm good. It ain't it ain't you know? We got
Speaker 1: It wasn't like I was playing on another person realness,
Speaker 1: but it was saying, this is how I gotta grow
Speaker 1: my business, Like I got to hook up at least
Speaker 1: eight or seven other dudes who holding it down in
Speaker 1: the hud so I can serve over there. So I
Speaker 1: use my business the same way like I'm like, all right, cool,
Speaker 1: let me be able to a rite boom. Let me
Speaker 1: build this relationship with Earn your leadon out of street value,
Speaker 1: and we built a great relationship. All right, cool, Let
Speaker 1: me build this relationship with this dude over here, a
Speaker 1: genuine relationship, I can bring value. Cool. Let me build
Speaker 1: this relationship with this dude over here, so I can
Speaker 1: bring value cool. So now if I can bring value
Speaker 1: to older people and they got platforms as well. And
Speaker 1: here's the thing, I was on little platforms and big platforms.
Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying. Like you had ten thousand followers,
Speaker 1: I'm hollering at you. Look, let's build even if I
Speaker 1: had more following than you, because this is what I
Speaker 1: realized on especially with the social media. Even with me
Speaker 1: having three hundred and something thousand followers, that's still a
Speaker 1: drop in the ocean. So the dude who got ten
Speaker 1: thousand followers or the queen who got ten thousand followers,
Speaker 1: only one percent of they following may know me. So
Speaker 1: I got to build that relationship. So now I can
Speaker 1: be in that. So now I just build that. So
Speaker 1: one of the things I want to say is in
Speaker 1: building your brand and building something like network, as much
Speaker 1: as you can bring value to as many people as
Speaker 1: you can. You know what I'm saying, bring an immense
Speaker 1: amount of value. Don't be ashamed of give it away,
Speaker 1: because what you give away. And building a relationship gonna
Speaker 1: come back to you tenfold if it's authentic and raw.
Speaker 1: So that's that's that's amazing thing for me. Another thing
Speaker 1: as far as my vision for moving forward so with
Speaker 1: my brand was for me, it was okay, I wanted
Speaker 1: to be on every platform, but now I structured. I
Speaker 1: structured my travel unit so I really do my audience
Speaker 1: and who my voice is. So now I've structured it
Speaker 1: like a real university, right, So the goal now to
Speaker 1: have like travels anonymous, like I'm really and that's what
Speaker 1: the White Boy was about. So I have like a
Speaker 1: freshman that bundle I'm putting together, and then it's a
Speaker 1: sophomore bundle that I'm putting together, and then it's a
Speaker 1: junior bundle that I'm putting together, and then the senior
Speaker 1: bundle will actually be a mentorship. So going into twenty one,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna actually build a mentorship so I now don't
Speaker 1: have one on one with people. Then after that, I'm
Speaker 1: writing my book this year. So twenty twenty one, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna write my book. You know what I'm saying, And
Speaker 1: I think what that does.
Speaker 3: I gotta got right, I gotta ghostright that man chapter
Speaker 3: at least a chapter.
Speaker 1: But already put that down. And I think the book
Speaker 1: is important for me to take my brand to another
Speaker 1: level because now.
Speaker 2: I cross over from being and there's nothing.
Speaker 1: Wrong with it, but I cross over from just being
Speaker 1: a person who you know, sell courses online to now
Speaker 1: get into really impacting people with the story, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So that's something real important for me.
Speaker 1: And then turning my brand, Trap Apparel, Inc. Into a
Speaker 1: real business like a brand like a Foogle brand or
Speaker 1: something like that. So it's just now opening it up
Speaker 1: and then opening my portfolio up. You know, I told
Speaker 1: you I had linded on the truck already, so I
Speaker 1: have two lending trucks on a right now. And then
Speaker 1: just getting into more. I won't start playing monopoly. I
Speaker 1: just want to go in the hood and just about
Speaker 1: a bunch of properties. You know, me and you talked about, man,
Speaker 1: let's try to buy an apartment complex and put that together.
Speaker 1: But also giving back more, like giving back more myself
Speaker 1: to the community. I won't get into prisons, I won't
Speaker 1: get into juvenile our facilities. So that's my goal because
Speaker 1: there's only one Wall Street traveler, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like everybody. Can you know, we all got our thing.
Speaker 1: We all you know, have a lane. I feel like
Speaker 1: me getting back into the mud, into the tranches is
Speaker 1: what I'm most useful at. So twenty twenty one the
Speaker 1: book more investments and then getting back to like really
Speaker 1: getting into the trenches, jails, youth poems and things like that. Man.
Speaker 1: So that's what I want to do going this year. Man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Man, that's powerful.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to seeing the growth.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: That's that's what it's about.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 3: It's about each one teach one, and it's about it's
Speaker 3: about friendly competition, and it's about positive peer pressure. That's
Speaker 3: one thing that they've they've shared dropped a lot of
Speaker 3: gyms on our podcast. That's one of the good things
Speaker 3: about having a podcast. It's a great networking tool. And
Speaker 3: it's kind of like that book. What was it, Dale Carnegie,
Speaker 3: I think wrote the book or it's one of these
Speaker 3: how to win friends and influence people. Yeah, but it
Speaker 3: was another one. But he interviewed like all the successful
Speaker 3: Oh oh h, thank and grow rich, think and grow rich?
Speaker 3: Who wrote that book? Deal Carnegie?
Speaker 1: Well, no, it's written by Hill Hill, but he got
Speaker 1: the game from dal Carnegie.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So you know what, I shout out to Maurice Clorette,
Speaker 3: Maurice Clorette Hall of uh. I think he's Ohio Hall
Speaker 3: of Fame. Come on, Oio State, Ohio, Ohi, Ohio state,
Speaker 3: buck ey legend.
Speaker 2: So least he's a big he's a big supporter.
Speaker 3: That's my god. Shout out to Maurice. So when I
Speaker 3: met him, he told me, he's like, I'm jealous of you.
Speaker 3: I've been jealous of you for a while. And I'm like,
Speaker 3: why are you jealous? He was like, he's like, yo,
Speaker 3: you know Napoleon Hill when he wrote that book and
Speaker 3: he and he said it took him forty years to
Speaker 3: compositive information. He said, you you're doing all this in
Speaker 3: twelve months. Look at all the people that you that
Speaker 3: you tapped in with every single week. You get a
Speaker 3: master class. He's like, we get a master class looking
Speaker 3: at it. But look at all the information you getting
Speaker 3: behind the scenes, and you got these people's phone numbers
Speaker 3: and and I'm like, yo, you know what, You're right
Speaker 3: like what I'm saying like that, it's actually a great
Speaker 3: network and too, and it's a great learning experience for me.
Speaker 3: So I say that to say when Dave Chance came
Speaker 3: on our podcast and he said that he said a
Speaker 3: lot of valuable things, but one of the things that
Speaker 3: he said was he said, you know, success by association.
Speaker 3: You always say abouts say about guilty, like guilty by association.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Like if you if you
Speaker 3: with the wrong people and you with five dudes and
Speaker 3: they stick up a store and you with them, you
Speaker 3: guilty just being by associated. But the opposite is that
Speaker 3: you can be you can be successful by association. I
Speaker 3: was telling one of my young boys just the other day.
Speaker 3: You can make a million on the humble by accident.
Speaker 3: You could be a millionaire by accident stumbling if you
Speaker 3: just with if you just with the right people and
Speaker 3: you just add value, it's just a matter of win.
Speaker 3: It's just a matter of win by accident. And another
Speaker 3: another thing that he said was positive peer pressure. And
Speaker 3: I think that that's something that you know, all of
Speaker 3: us have. It's like we're all competitive. So it's like
Speaker 3: I I'm I just going just sit and watch trap
Speaker 3: take his thing to the next level.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: It said, like it's positive pit pressure, it's competition. It's
Speaker 3: like it's like the league, like you know, I'm saying
Speaker 3: Lebron and Katie they might be friends, but they're still
Speaker 3: competing with each other.
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to be second place.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 2: That's a real like yo, like. I remember, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be real.
Speaker 1: I remember when a quarantine first happened, And this is
Speaker 1: why you gotta change it.
Speaker 2: You gotta change the people you're around. I said this
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 1: You gotta filter your integram and you gotta filter your life,
Speaker 1: right because if the people around you not motivating you
Speaker 1: to go forward, then you around the wrong people, right.
Speaker 1: And if y'all done celebrating, y'all don't win out. Y'all
Speaker 1: don't pop bottles, y'all don't boil bag, y'all went on
Speaker 1: vacation together. Y'all don't did all that. And y'all ain't
Speaker 1: built a business together. Y'all ain't put a business plan together.
Speaker 1: Y'all ain't invested together. Y'all ain't thought about how y'all
Speaker 1: can build something and make an investment together. Then that's
Speaker 1: the wrong type of friends that have around you, right.
Speaker 1: So I remember, I remember when the quarantine had first hit,
Speaker 1: and I remember y'all you you called me and you
Speaker 1: was like trap. You're putting out a lot of good content.
Speaker 1: It's trying to double down on YouTube because people need
Speaker 1: to see you. And I was like, yeah, man, I'm
Speaker 1: anna double down. But I was still like building a
Speaker 1: brand up. I was still like, you know, he was
Speaker 1: like all right. And then I remember I watched y'all
Speaker 1: like double down on the YouTube content and I said, damn,
Speaker 1: that shit doubling. I remember immediately I called my video editor.
Speaker 1: I said, I give him a game plan. I said, Yo,
Speaker 1: I'm about to do this, this, this, We're gonna take this.
Speaker 1: We're gonna break it down right here, we're gonna break
Speaker 1: it down right here. We're gonna repurpose it over here.
Speaker 1: Content content content. And then I'm like all right, cool.
Speaker 1: So then we're doubling down. We're doubling down, and then
Speaker 1: y'all hit one hundred. I was like shit, I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: I gotta pump some mold. So I called it back.
Speaker 1: I'm like, look this the next thing I about to do. Yo. Like,
Speaker 1: and it's because I won't see my guys win, but
Speaker 1: I also want to win and it's not me coming.
Speaker 1: But as long as I know my guy is still
Speaker 1: applying pressure, I can never get comfortable where I'm at
Speaker 1: because for every doll y'all break down, it's saying, Yo,
Speaker 1: it's possible. You feel what I'm saying. And that's how
Speaker 1: I look at it. Like every time I see my
Speaker 1: guys interview somebody else, I'm like, yeah, even when I
Speaker 1: see people talking about stocks, I'm like, Okay, we got
Speaker 1: to learn more so we can break more information down.
Speaker 1: So for me, it's always about being able to break
Speaker 1: the information down in the way that people can digest it.
Speaker 1: So every time Ian always tells me, every time I
Speaker 1: hear to talk trap, that should make me go back hard.
Speaker 1: But for me, every time I hear Ian like, I
Speaker 1: be mad. For me, I'm mad that I can't make
Speaker 1: slides right, Ian be killing, I'm like, damn, Ian, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like God, damn like Ian be
Speaker 1: having a whole damn that just ain't my thing. Like
Speaker 1: I like to have the energy, So I'm like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta give more energy. So I gotta
Speaker 1: just like bring my pirate dishes out. I gotta, you know,
Speaker 1: go more in depth. I gotta teach more because that's
Speaker 1: where Ian Good at. So Ian Good at putting the
Speaker 1: slides together. I'm not gonna try to mimic that, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is. I'm gonna go back in my bag.
Speaker 1: So now I wan't trapping two to still be popping
Speaker 1: had like Market moneys. You know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: it's not a comp it's not saying I won't be
Speaker 1: better than It's like that's my guys, or they went
Speaker 1: to the finals, or no no, no, no no. They
Speaker 1: gotta see me in the finals next year. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying, Oh damn,
Speaker 1: they just drop fifty, I gotta go drop eighty. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So it is you gotta have
Speaker 1: people like that. So it's always a competition, but it's
Speaker 1: always cool, like, oh, y'all made a honey nice y'all
Speaker 1: just hit two hundred subscribers. Let me repost that right quick.
Speaker 1: My dogs didn't hit two hundred subscribers. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, My dog them Every Monday, I'm I'm posting
Speaker 1: Market Mondays and I'm taking all three of them. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Every money, it's not a money
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss y'all put up something y'all about the host.
Speaker 1: I'm putting that up there. So I'm gonna treat my
Speaker 1: and I'm just a bar. I'm gonna treat my potner's business.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna treat my brother's business like it's mine. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna treat their business.
Speaker 2: Say that that's a fact.
Speaker 1: I'm gona treat like none because when they win, I win,
Speaker 1: because we don't. We might be in we in different lanes,
Speaker 1: but we run in the same race.
Speaker 2: I'm just on.
Speaker 1: I'm on, I'm on another part of them on. They
Speaker 1: gotta hand me the battone him, trap you next. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Every time I do a trap
Speaker 1: in tulday. I see that post from Ian, I see
Speaker 1: that pole from you, I see that pole from Jamal.
Speaker 1: We were pushing it the same way.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: So man, I just won't see every I won't see
Speaker 2: us win.
Speaker 1: Man. And I know how fault. I know we just
Speaker 1: scratching the surface. And we all got something that's so
Speaker 1: unique that the culture needs.
Speaker 3: Man, for sure, I think that that's something that and
Speaker 3: especially like like I said, David Share. Another thing that
Speaker 3: he said is like when you're in the room with
Speaker 3: like everybody that's doing bad, right, It's very hard to
Speaker 3: be the one person to do.
Speaker 2: Good in a in a bad environment.
Speaker 3: It's hard, like if you if you're around people and
Speaker 3: every single person is smoke drinking, it's hard to be
Speaker 3: the one person that's sober. But the opposite is that
Speaker 3: it's hard to be the one person doing bad in
Speaker 3: a room full of good. So, if you're in a
Speaker 3: room full of church ladies, and if you got any
Speaker 3: level of common sense, you're not just gonna be cursing it.
Speaker 3: You're gonna conduct yourself a certain way because you're gonna
Speaker 3: feel out of place. You're gonna feel out of place
Speaker 3: doing bad and a room full of good people just
Speaker 3: like you feel out of place doing good and a
Speaker 3: room full of people that are doing bad things right.
Speaker 3: I say that to say a lot of times people
Speaker 3: are self sabotaging their success because of the people that
Speaker 3: they're around. It's hard to be successful when everybody around
Speaker 3: you is doing bad. So what happens a lot of
Speaker 3: times is that you subconsciously or consciously self sabotage your
Speaker 3: success to dim your light because nobody wants to be
Speaker 3: the if you If you're a decent person. You feel
Speaker 3: extremely uncomfortable riding through a poor neighborhood in the Lamborghini, right,
Speaker 3: Like you know what I'm saying. It's like, it's just
Speaker 3: it's it's not comfortable. It's not comfortable, Like you don't
Speaker 3: want to be in the project with a fur coat
Speaker 3: on it. It's not comfortable. But if you in Beverly Hills,
Speaker 3: you feel comfortable.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: So I say that to say it's like, sometimes you
Speaker 3: have to separate the people might not be at their mindset,
Speaker 3: might not be conducive to your to your your growth,
Speaker 3: and sometimes you might you might have to outgrow somebody
Speaker 3: in a certain moment of time until they can catch up.
Speaker 3: Because you constantly put in a group chat. I'm doing
Speaker 3: this through on that and everybody else is they gonna
Speaker 3: discourage you like stocks, you keep talking about stocks for
Speaker 3: psychologically you're gonna you're gonna like, now, let me stop
Speaker 3: talking about this because this is just doesn't fit. Let
Speaker 3: me talk about love and hip hop because this is
Speaker 3: something that is more comfortable. I see that happening all
Speaker 3: the time. So I just that's something to to to
Speaker 3: really think about as well as you got to take
Speaker 3: an inventory of your circle. And if your circle isn't
Speaker 3: on the same type of time that you on, or
Speaker 3: isn't pushing you the same way that you should be pushed,
Speaker 3: it's time to find a new circles.
Speaker 1: No, that's without a listen, that is so imperative to
Speaker 1: where you're trying to go at. So check this out,
Speaker 1: like you know, and it's saying if you're around five
Speaker 1: millionaires by default, you become the sixth on by default.
Speaker 1: Because what happens is they start having different conversations. You
Speaker 1: can't go into like you can't come into our like
Speaker 1: you can't come into our group chat talking about yeah, man,
Speaker 1: your girl on love and hip hop? You wanna look
Speaker 1: at you like I might text you personal like a shot?
Speaker 1: Who is this guy? How he got here? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Like what every nine and then we
Speaker 1: might throw a sports topic in the group. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about politics. We we literally talked about how
Speaker 1: the Trump, how Trump and Bidy was gonna affect we
Speaker 1: in a group check having that political talk. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, were in a group check talking about business,
Speaker 1: the market, all of that. What happens is now you
Speaker 1: look for value every time you find something value, you
Speaker 1: throw that in the group chat. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: every time you find a gym cool. They ain't got
Speaker 1: this right here yet, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: so now those ideas become damn like I see they
Speaker 1: on it. So now you start understanding, I can't have
Speaker 1: this conversation right here. And then what happens on the
Speaker 1: what happens now on the back end is those other
Speaker 1: conversations become frivolous. You don't even want to have them
Speaker 1: no more because you so used to having these conversations
Speaker 1: that are conducive to you succeeding. These conversations start now
Speaker 1: making things possible, Like you start saying like, damn, like
Speaker 1: I can have ten thousand dollars in a stock market,
Speaker 1: Damn traps, just say he bought one hundred ships, Damn
Speaker 1: shot them, just got a truck. Damn, this has got
Speaker 1: an apartment complex. Damn they just did this, and I
Speaker 1: wasn't even Now you start looking at your owser, but
Speaker 1: like you trying to throw a topic in that nobody
Speaker 1: don't want no parts of it, right, show him, no move,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's and that's why
Speaker 1: One of the things important for people to do is this,
Speaker 1: go on your Instagram. Look at everybody that you following.
Speaker 1: If you can't go on it, this is how I
Speaker 1: manage my Instagram. If I get on my gram and
Speaker 1: I see you live and I can't tap on that
Speaker 1: and learn something, it's an unfollow for me. It's a
Speaker 1: no follower if I can't see I don't mind you
Speaker 1: posting a joke here. Now, that's one of the thing cool.
Speaker 1: But if ninety percent of your content isn't something I
Speaker 1: can learn from and put in one of these tablets,
Speaker 1: that's a no goal for me. Because what happens is
Speaker 1: we've been entertained for so long. At what point do
Speaker 1: we say, I gotta start getting educated Because the education
Speaker 1: and the information is defertilized. The lack of it is
Speaker 1: what keeps you where you at. You weed, we gonna
Speaker 1: grow anywhere? Are we gonna grow in the concrete or
Speaker 1: we gonna grow anywhere? Right? So, now, are we gonna
Speaker 1: bullcarm bullcrap gonna be inside anywhere? How do you say,
Speaker 1: let me get this out of the way and focus
Speaker 1: on what's gonna help me grow, what's gonna help nursing
Speaker 1: me because at thirty eight. I remember, we had this conversation.
Speaker 1: I said, Man, took me thirty six years to get here. Man,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It took me thirty six
Speaker 1: years to get here. I ain't going back right money,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna exact to get here. I don't got
Speaker 1: nothing to prove of nobody. I don't got nothing to
Speaker 1: prove of nobody. The only person I gotta prove something
Speaker 1: not to my daughter to prove that she can be great.
Speaker 1: We got something to prove to our family members that
Speaker 1: we can change the d we can change our last name.
Speaker 1: You got a son, man, That's what we're proven sit to.
Speaker 1: We ain't proving nothing to nobody else. It took me
Speaker 1: thirty eight years to get here. You know how much
Speaker 1: filtering I had to do to realize, oh, this is
Speaker 1: where I need to be at. Why what we going
Speaker 1: backs for? So if y'all, if y'all, here's if you
Speaker 1: watch marketing, if you've been watching if you have been
Speaker 1: watching market Mondays since the beginning of the pandemic, trapping
Speaker 1: Tuesdays since the pandemic, and you not invested in spots
Speaker 1: and stuff, you're doing yourself in Rashad's words, it's such
Speaker 1: a tremendous desservice. There's no use of getting the information
Speaker 1: if you're not gonna use it right getting the game.
Speaker 1: You gotta take the shot. You taking the information, you
Speaker 1: putting it, You writing the information down. You spending an
Speaker 1: hour and a half on marketing moneys every Monday. You
Speaker 1: spending an hour and a half on trapping tuesdays. You

Speaker 1: the culture, bro.
Speaker 3: Like financial financial Man, It's something that like I said,
Speaker 3: man's the only thing I can see us at this point,
Speaker 3: and people are realizing that that the education is the
Speaker 3: only thing that can save them. And the reason why
Speaker 3: I say that it's the only thing I can save
Speaker 3: them is because it saved me. Like it saved me
Speaker 3: as far as like not saved me as far as
Speaker 3: like you know, I don't think I would be dead
Speaker 3: in jail, but it saved me from having to work
Speaker 3: a job, or saved me from you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: like having a mediocre life. It saved me. It saved
Speaker 3: my life from actually having a life, like you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. Like me, I never had a job.
Speaker 3: I never had a job, and like anybody knows aboutself,
Speaker 3: I never had a job. Being an entrepreneur my whole
Speaker 3: entire life. So I don't really know what like for me,
Speaker 3: having a job is risky. It's risky because I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna wake up at seven o'clock. It's a risk that
Speaker 3: I might curse my boss out, like you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. That's that's a risk. So all I know
Speaker 3: is wake up and get it, like you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So that's all I know. I can only
Speaker 3: speak about things that I actually know, and I don't
Speaker 3: know what it what it would be like. I literally
Speaker 3: woke up on I woke up yesterday. I thought it
Speaker 3: was Saturday. I thought it was Saturday. For one I
Speaker 3: just I don't know why. But that's a blessing. That's
Speaker 3: a blessing. That's a blessing. I went up on Tuesday
Speaker 3: and thought it was could It don't matter because if
Speaker 3: I you know what, when you when you live in life,
Speaker 3: how we live, whatever day you want it to be,
Speaker 3: is that day. If I want it to be Sunday,
Speaker 3: then it's Sunday.
Speaker 1: It's Sunday. That's a fact. And I think that's the
Speaker 1: that's the that's the important thing about financial literacy and
Speaker 1: learning how to invest, Like this is what y'all gotta do, yo.
Speaker 1: You got to learn how to turn income into capital.
Speaker 1: And what that's simply saying is the income that you
Speaker 1: make when you turn it into capital. And the investing world,
Speaker 1: capital is money used to invest, right, That's what capital is.
Speaker 1: Capital is money used to invest. You got to turn
Speaker 1: your income into capital and the capital turns into or
Speaker 1: I your capital got to turn into a return on investment.
Speaker 1: You feel me?
Speaker 2: So what I want y'all to do is got ambunderd.

Speaker 1: Take that income, learn how to invest, and then turn
Speaker 1: that income and put that income into an investment and
Speaker 1: now becomes capital. The income that you put into your
Speaker 1: investment account is capital. Now it's still money, but it's
Speaker 1: called capital and the investment world because that money is
Speaker 1: you to purchase assets. You feel what I'm saying. Then
Speaker 1: those assets that capital now becomes an ROI or until
Speaker 1: you want that capital become a return on an investment.
Speaker 1: And what happens is every investment that you make buys
Speaker 1: back some of your time. The objective why he don't
Speaker 1: care about Tuesday being a Sunday is because he owns
Speaker 1: his twenty four hours. Listen to me the person who
Speaker 1: owns the most of their time can then create the
Speaker 1: most wealth. The more time that you can own, the
Speaker 1: more wealth that you can create. And so now you
Speaker 1: put your time like this, how long will it take
Speaker 1: you to own your twenty four hours? Will it take
Speaker 1: you two years, would it take you five years? Will
Speaker 1: it take you ten years? That should be the goal.
Speaker 1: For me. The goal was never how much money I
Speaker 1: could make. It was how much time can I own.
Speaker 1: I need to have time equity. I need to own
Speaker 1: as much of my time as possible, because if I
Speaker 1: own my twenty four hours, I don't care if it's
Speaker 1: Monday a Sunday. I don't care if it's Tuesday or Saturday.
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's it's Wednesday or Thursday. Because
Speaker 1: every day I'm blessed to say I get up and
Speaker 1: do what I want, when I want, how I want.
Speaker 1: That's the blessing. For me. It's not about how much
Speaker 1: money I have. It's about how much time that I own.
Speaker 1: And I own my time by making the most investments.
Speaker 1: It's like the dual writers, the dual toy man. All
Speaker 1: of my money goes into the stock market, and for me,
Speaker 1: sixty percent of my wealth is in the stock market.
Speaker 1: And the reason why that is because I realized this
Speaker 1: once I started really studying great wealthy people. When I
Speaker 1: study even looking at Warren Buffett, looking at Bill Gates,
Speaker 1: looking at Jeff Bezos, sixty five percent of their money
Speaker 1: is in their wealth is in the stock market, sixty
Speaker 1: five to seventy percent. So that told me that if
Speaker 1: that's what they doing, if that's the blueprint, that's the
Speaker 1: blueprint I'm following. I'm a follow the people who did
Speaker 1: it and did it well, right, you don't become top
Speaker 1: five richest people in the world by luck that.
Speaker 2: You know what. You know, what's so crazy that you
Speaker 2: said that? Because we did.
Speaker 3: We did a YouTube blob for day from rec Philly.
Speaker 3: Shout out to rec Philly. They got a dope events
Speaker 3: based in Philly. So we're on a YouTube lib and
Speaker 3: they're asking us questions and we're talking about, you know,
Speaker 3: investing stocks real estate. So one of the one of
Speaker 3: the young lady that was on the YouTube blog, she's like,
Speaker 3: are there any other ways that you can invest outside
Speaker 3: of stocks in real estate? So I'm like, what have
Speaker 3: you invested in? And she's like, I haven't invested yet.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, all right, so one hundred percent, probably
Speaker 3: ninety nine point nine percent of the millionaires in the
Speaker 3: United States of America and probably all over the world,
Speaker 3: but United States of America have some real estate or
Speaker 3: some stockholdings.
Speaker 2: That's safe to say.
Speaker 3: Right, So if you're just starting out and one hundred
Speaker 3: percent of the millionaires have real estate, a stop, why
Speaker 3: are you looking for an alternative outside of real estate
Speaker 3: and stocks? Like we try to make things complicated, over
Speaker 3: complicate things like you want me to tell you some
Speaker 3: crazy oil rig to invest in investing in your full
Speaker 3: one kid yet and you're not investing bitcoin and precious
Speaker 3: precious metals and oil refinery Like it's like.
Speaker 2: Yo, just keep it care simple, keep it simple.
Speaker 1: It's simple for me, yo, Like, And that's what I
Speaker 1: that's like one of my biggest things is always like
Speaker 1: for me, I'm just following the people who came before me,
Speaker 1: that's all. I Ain't doing nothing different, Yo, I don't
Speaker 1: gotta listen. I'm not an inventor. I don't got to
Speaker 1: try to create the next thing that's gonna change the world.
Speaker 1: That ain't what I'm good at. Right. What I need
Speaker 1: to learn how to do is become the best investor
Speaker 1: that I can be. When I was in prison during
Speaker 1: my time, that white dude told me this, wealthy people
Speaker 1: invest in stocks, real estate and they start a business.
Speaker 1: So that was the manser that I followed. If you
Speaker 1: was saying real estate stocks, I probably wouldn't be a
Speaker 1: wall travel. I probably would be the real estate travel
Speaker 1: because I followed the rule that he gave me. He
Speaker 1: said real estate. I mean, he said stocks, real estate
Speaker 1: and start your business. The reason why he said stocks first,
Speaker 1: and it made assistant me because that's the easiest way,
Speaker 1: that has the lowest barrier, the entry barrier. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You take your little you know, twenty
Speaker 1: thirty dollars, you put that in a stocking mall. It's
Speaker 1: gonna work for you regardless, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Then you get into really you know, you start learning
Speaker 1: how to run a business and all that. But spots
Speaker 1: was the easiest place to go. So I just followed that.
Speaker 1: It wasn't no need for me to try to man,
Speaker 1: let me try to do no that's following, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just get real good at it. And to what
Speaker 1: now It's like okay, like all right, I got this
Speaker 1: much money in stocks, So okay, what's the first thing
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. Now, I'm gonna get my daughter, who
Speaker 1: who at the time was two. I'm gonna start doing
Speaker 1: her the thing. Because if it took me to get
Speaker 1: in my you know, thirties to start it, let me
Speaker 1: start her even earlier. So if I had to get
Speaker 1: when I was thirty, if I saw her, she too,
Speaker 1: imagine she gonna be with she thirty. Okay, let me
Speaker 1: start this now in four years old. She one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty in the market at four. The goal for
Speaker 1: me make he a million at by the time she eighteen.
Speaker 1: That's easy. Now, that's easy. That's easy. Okay, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get some real estate. Okay, what's the going now. As
Speaker 1: soon as I do it and I get a good
Speaker 1: cool she would get a piece of property too. The
Speaker 1: formula is there.
Speaker 2: It's not triggering now the tree.
Speaker 1: It's not us. It's not E equal E and MC
Speaker 1: squared equals. This is by stocks. My real estate starts
Speaker 1: your business. It's simple, family, And I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to go the hallway. I'm trying to travel.
Speaker 1: If I can't travel, this path right here, and I
Speaker 1: see it working. I'm gonna go with it, and then
Speaker 1: I will learn other things. Okay, I've been in the
Speaker 1: stock market for so many years. Okay, now let me
Speaker 1: learn how to trade. Now, I've been in the market
Speaker 1: for four, five, six, seven, hell a year. Okay, Now
Speaker 1: let me start learning how to trade, because it's another component. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've been doing buying whole real estate, but it's long.
Speaker 1: Maybe let me learn how to buy and flip a house. Right,
Speaker 1: It's it's stayed as you go through. You take a
Speaker 1: step by step. The problem is we feel compelled to
Speaker 1: try to compete or live up to some standards or
Speaker 1: show people, Hey, I'm flipping the house. Hey I'm trading.
Speaker 1: Hey I'm doing Hey I made this much money. That
Speaker 1: ain't my goal. My goal is buy and own as
Speaker 1: much of my twenty four hours as I can and
Speaker 1: the rest of the stuff is gonna come later.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's the fact.
Speaker 3: And like I'm telling you, like you know I got
Speaker 3: when I got pulled over, I got pulled over. Anybody
Speaker 3: doesn't know if you didn't watch my stories driving, I
Speaker 3: just I just shot out to PTG I gotta I
Speaker 3: gotta a range Rover recently a special special audition Range
Speaker 3: Rover Special Cars moll Flex Flex. So I'm driving, I'm
Speaker 3: driving in my old neighborhood and I got pulled over.
Speaker 3: But I just get pulled over by like regular cops.
Speaker 3: I got pulled over by four off duty police officers,
Speaker 3: like in like caravan cars like off duty cops, like
Speaker 3: wearing like what I'm wearing, Like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: Like right with bulletproof vests and guns and all that.
Speaker 3: Like they had guns, they had the bulletproof ast. They
Speaker 3: have four cars, four cars came to they call for
Speaker 3: backup and all that, and the dude like, Yo, is
Speaker 3: this your car?
Speaker 2: Like yeah, it's my car.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: It's like yo, your registration. So he's like like, how
Speaker 2: you like what you do?
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm made content, you know. I mean, now
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna pluy I make. I made content for
Speaker 3: a living, I cause now I'm just gonna have some
Speaker 3: fun with it. Like I'm saying, now I just got
Speaker 3: some fun with like I made content for a living.
Speaker 3: But he was just amazed, like yo, like you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. And I say that to say it's
Speaker 3: like the way that we are taught to make money.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna work. It's not gonna work. It's not
Speaker 3: gonna work. To just go to school, get a degree,
Speaker 3: and get a job, and you think that's gonna make
Speaker 3: you a millionaire, you far gone. So the people that's
Speaker 3: thinking outside the box, the people that everybody was laughing
Speaker 3: at because they YouTubers, and now they're millionaires. And now
Speaker 3: it's not funny anymore, Like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: Like when I'm throughing Instagram when I have five hundred
Speaker 3: followers and I'm making selfie videos three years ago, and
Speaker 3: it's like, but now it's not funny anymore, Like you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Time, Oh, that's what you're doing. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I told, I told, I was telling my travelers just
Speaker 1: the other day. So I brung somebody in the other day,
Speaker 1: somebody who helped me. Her name I pray pretty. She
Speaker 1: helped me to beginning in my brand when I was
Speaker 1: gooding my brand and I bought so when she was
Speaker 1: talking at the time, I had forty people in the class.
Speaker 1: We wound up having like eighty people in the class.
Speaker 1: And she talked about the e book we talked about
Speaker 1: how she helped me put my ebook together. So I
Speaker 1: bought her ebook How to Make nine K in thirty
Speaker 1: Days for the forty of the people in my group.
Speaker 1: I bought it for them, and she broke down a
Speaker 1: process of how to create an ebook based on whatever
Speaker 1: you're doing right, and the way she broke it down
Speaker 1: to my trappers and shit, and it was like, there's
Speaker 1: no reason why you shouldn't have another stream of income right.
Speaker 1: And it goes back to the saying that I say,
Speaker 1: if you allow them to feed you, you give them
Speaker 1: permission to stop. You say it again, if you allowed
Speaker 1: them to feed you, Yep, fat is my cousin for sure.
Speaker 1: If you allow them to feed you, you give them
Speaker 1: permission to stop you. And what happens is the basis
Speaker 1: of me making that statement was simple. When I was
Speaker 1: working my job, I used to tell them like, yo,
Speaker 1: I'm about to take off. Yeah, and they'll be like, well,
Speaker 1: you can't take off. I'll be like, I'm not asking
Speaker 1: you to take off. I'm taking off. And whatever you
Speaker 1: don't do after that, like it's on you. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Because I had already like by me
Speaker 1: being a hustle I was only working. I felt like
Speaker 1: I was only working because you know, I couldn't no
Speaker 1: more because I felt like, damn, I ain't got no bread,
Speaker 1: Like I'm my back against the wall, right, And so
Speaker 1: I still had the hustle mindset. So I wound up
Speaker 1: like you know, after I build a Falcon stadium, I
Speaker 1: build like two more power plants, and I walked up
Speaker 1: the job to go all in on my brand. But
Speaker 1: what happens is this, this pandemic showed us one thing.
Speaker 2: People know.
Speaker 3: I think people you skipped over that you built the
Speaker 3: Falcon Stadium. Can you tell me every time a minute, Atlanta?
Speaker 3: But they see you now, they don't know you used
Speaker 3: to be a laborer and you actually built the Atlanta
Speaker 3: Football them Mercedes been Stadium.
Speaker 2: You you were, you were one of the laborers that
Speaker 2: built that stadium.
Speaker 1: That I was. So I'm gonna call I was an ironworker, right.
Speaker 1: So what ironworking does is so when you see when
Speaker 1: you see like them big ass cranes in the air
Speaker 1: and you see those big old iron vessels moving around,
Speaker 1: it's called beans Like I was the one up there
Speaker 1: three four five hundred feet connecting that shit. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying I was the one like when you
Speaker 1: see power plants put together. I'm a post a pitch
Speaker 1: of tomorrow. I'm a post pit of tomorrow throw back thirty.
Speaker 1: I'm a post a pitcher tomorrow of me being full.
Speaker 2: Because they gotta know that.
Speaker 3: They gotta know that because they see you as Wall
Speaker 3: Street Trapper, they see you with four hundred thousand Instagram followers,
Speaker 3: and they.
Speaker 1: Think, like, but just a couple of years ago, it
Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't like that.
Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Now, you can change.
Speaker 2: You could.
Speaker 3: Your life can change quick Your life can change quickly.
Speaker 3: You could become a millionaire in one year. I'm telling people.
Speaker 3: I've been telling people that, like you did, it could
Speaker 3: change very very quickly. You did ten years in jail,
Speaker 3: you're convicted, feeling you you were a iron worker, ye,
Speaker 3: and now you're Wall Street Trapper. Walked off the job
Speaker 3: to do this.
Speaker 1: I left. I left. I was making one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars a year, and I lovet doing that.
Speaker 1: I left that because I felt like I was working
Speaker 1: too much. Even on the Falcon Stadium. I was doing
Speaker 1: seven days a week, twelve fourteen hours a day. So
Speaker 1: you'd be like, yeah, you know, damn trap. He was
Speaker 1: making twenty five hundred dollars a week. But just imagine
Speaker 1: working fourteen hours a day, seven days a week. That's
Speaker 1: a lot with a hornets on that way about forty
Speaker 1: fifty pounds. I got all them tools on it. I'm
Speaker 1: in the air. I'm doing something. I had just had
Speaker 1: my little one, and I was like, yo, like, there's
Speaker 1: no pot, there's no way possible. I can be a
Speaker 1: great dad. I'm working fourteen fifteen hours a day, seven
Speaker 1: days a week. It's impossible, right, So and I left that.
Speaker 1: I went to go do I built two more power
Speaker 1: plants in Louisiana because I wanted to be closer in
Speaker 1: New Orleans. So I was like, now I was making,
Speaker 1: depending on where I was at, anywhere between twenty eight
Speaker 1: and thirty five hours an hour plus overtime plus per
Speaker 1: damn it did. So it was like, man, it's too
Speaker 1: much time, Like I can't be with my daughter. So
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, So I used to take
Speaker 1: off on purpose, like I'm gonna be with my daughter. Man,
Speaker 1: I don't care what y'all talking about. Because I never
Speaker 1: wanted nobody to have control over me, and I remember,
Speaker 1: you know, I was investing my money. And I remember
Speaker 1: again my friend Dan Yell, she showed me how to
Speaker 1: write an e book. I was posting content on the
Speaker 1: ground and she showed me how to write an e book.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Yo, this is hard. And I
Speaker 1: remember I wrote my second ebook. When I wrote my
Speaker 1: second ebook, I was like, yo, like I got something
Speaker 1: because people were like, yo, the way you talk, bro,
Speaker 1: like I can understand it. And I remember this. I

Speaker 1: go all in on myself. He said what I said, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my business from the trap to Wall Street. I said,
Speaker 1: i'mboud to take this shit all the way up, bro,
Speaker 1: like I ain't turn around, he said, I ain't tripping.
Speaker 1: I remember taking all my tools, just like thirteen fourteen
Speaker 1: hundred hours of tools and my toolbox. I called my
Speaker 1: pot and I said, bro, come get these tools. I
Speaker 1: don't need them no more. He said, what you're doing?
Speaker 1: I said, Man, I quit. I'm not doing this shit
Speaker 1: ever again in my life. I'm going all in on myself. Dog,
Speaker 1: I said, I'm a hustler. I ain't never letting nobody
Speaker 1: feed me. I'm going all in on myself. Take these
Speaker 1: fucking tools. I don't eat them no more. I gave
Speaker 1: them my tools. I gave them all of my shit,
Speaker 1: and I ain't turned back since. And after that, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. We will refuse and I want
Speaker 1: you to listen to this web. I went from making
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty thousand dollars a year to having
Speaker 1: multiple months where I made one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Find one thing in this world that you're willing to
Speaker 1: go all in on and don't second guess yourself, go
Speaker 1: all in on it. And I'm telling you that a
Speaker 1: lot of shit made me second like, man, should I
Speaker 1: really do it? Like damn? Like all right, I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna come my bill, but let me go get another job.
Speaker 1: I went through every emotion, I went through, every feeling like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm about to go back. Man, fuck that I got
Speaker 1: a lit on it. And I remember calling my daughter Mama, like,
Speaker 1: look all the stuff I was doing before, I might
Speaker 1: can't do it, but I'm a pay for I'm a
Speaker 1: pay for school. The school costs one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: dollars a week, give me a minute, give me about
Speaker 1: six seven months. I'm a pay for school. But you
Speaker 1: know the money.
Speaker 2: I wasn't on child support. Man, My daughter mother is
Speaker 2: amazing for that.
Speaker 1: I wasn't on child support, but I was just giving
Speaker 1: her like three four hundred dollars a week plus paying
Speaker 1: for school. I was like, look, just give me a
Speaker 1: you know I'm about to go all in on myself.
Speaker 1: She said, Man, I believe in you. Man, you ain't
Speaker 1: never doing no sucker shit handle your business. I'm like
Speaker 1: say it. Let's I knew that pressure wasn't on me
Speaker 1: like that. I went all in on myself and I
Speaker 1: started coming. I was saying the same work ethic I
Speaker 1: had getting up every day going work ten twelve hours.
Speaker 2: Somebody else I would get up in the morning, comment on.
Speaker 1: People, page, create content, talk to people, find something people.
Speaker 1: To go all in on yourself. Don't think that the
Speaker 1: money that them people paying you from that job. You
Speaker 1: can do that for yourself. Yo, you can do that
Speaker 1: for yourself. What happens is and I want you try
Speaker 1: to know this. When you go to work, that takes
Speaker 1: away that eight to ten hours a day you could
Speaker 1: be building relationships and working on your business. Cause it's
Speaker 1: real hard. It's real hard mentally and emotionally to get
Speaker 1: off of a job and then go to building your business.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's real hard. But
Speaker 1: at some point in order for you to take yourself
Speaker 1: to the next level, you're gonna have to leave that job.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to burn that ship. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: to say it's all of nothing. You're gonna have to
Speaker 1: say it. It's gonna work. I'm gonna die one. It
Speaker 1: is gonna work. All my credit calls, I had full
Speaker 1: credit call. I said, all right, this how much it
Speaker 1: cost me to live? And I'm not gonna lie and
Speaker 1: say I didn't have no money in the bank. I
Speaker 1: had about eight thousand dollars in the bank, but I
Speaker 1: had literally at this time, I had like sixty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in a stock marble. This is what I told myself,
Speaker 1: I will maxill every credit card and sell every stock
Speaker 1: I own before I go back to that job. I
Speaker 1: told I was willing to do that. You gotta put
Speaker 1: it in your mind that you're willing to go all
Speaker 1: in at all costs to see your dream and your
Speaker 1: vision come through. If you put that type of energy
Speaker 1: into the universe, and the universe gonna reward you. And
Speaker 1: now I'm doing a great friendship, a brotherhood with rashad In.
Speaker 1: Dudes who I was putting it in the universe attracted

Speaker 1: they win. Here's how I live my life. When I
Speaker 1: talk to Ian about if he went at that, you
Speaker 1: know what happens. My wealth is associated with En winning.
Speaker 1: Not on a scale where I'm gonna say, yeah, I
Speaker 1: did that for En. But I know five ten years
Speaker 1: from now, he can be like man, boy trap told
Speaker 1: me this. Man, that shit took me here. I'm good
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 2: I'm good with that, Like that's what makes me feel

Speaker 1: To the people who around me. If I can do that, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm good because my life not on the line. I
Speaker 1: don't worry. I don't go to sleep worrying about nobody,
Speaker 1: the people kicking my door in. No more, I don't
Speaker 1: go to sleep saying well I can't do this. Let
Speaker 1: me have a pistol inside of me. Well let me
Speaker 1: put this behind the door. Man, I can't go I
Speaker 1: don't live my life like that, no more. I lived
Speaker 1: my life now in so much abundance. And it's like
Speaker 1: I attract money, I attract well, I attract good people,
Speaker 1: I attract good business. I'm around it. I attracted I
Speaker 1: talk about it, and the people in my server. Are
Speaker 1: them type of people? I know, the people around me
Speaker 1: not on no bullshit?
Speaker 3: Yah, you know what, you know what, I just got
Speaker 3: a random thought and this is something. So you know,
Speaker 3: everybody knows I'm I'm in the financial services industry. So
Speaker 3: I remember, forget years ago I used to have I
Speaker 3: was in the office in Park Avenue and this Jewish
Speaker 3: guy he was like the biggest he was the biggest
Speaker 3: financial advisor in the in the in the office that
Speaker 3: I was at, Like he was bringing it like millions
Speaker 3: dollars a year, So everybody knew him.
Speaker 2: He was like a real big way. So I'll never forget.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: He was in the he was in the bathroom. He
Speaker 3: was all in the bathroom and there was a new
Speaker 3: like head of the office, like a managing the partner
Speaker 3: of the office or whatever. So one of the guys
Speaker 3: you know, like they was washing their hands whatever. He
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, you know X, Y and Z.
Speaker 2: You know this person just came on and she's you know,
Speaker 2: she's paying the ass that he said.
Speaker 3: He said, he said stop, he said stop, he said stop,
Speaker 3: he said, you're talking something negative right now. In my
Speaker 3: brain cannot process anything that he says.
Speaker 2: Stop.
Speaker 3: I don't even want to, like, I can't hearing no
Speaker 3: people say, you know, You're like, I can't process it.
Speaker 3: And I never forget that because I'm like, damn, he
Speaker 3: didn't even allow hisself to even partake in any gossip,
Speaker 3: anything that was going to take him off the track
Speaker 3: of what he was actually doing. And it was no coincident.
Speaker 3: Is that he was the most successful person in the
Speaker 3: office with the other people sitting around and they talking
Speaker 3: about people all day and going back and forth. And
Speaker 3: I relate that to social media. It's like, how many
Speaker 3: people go on these websites, these blog sites and argue
Speaker 3: with people in the comments for hours and debate people
Speaker 3: and da da da dah and curse people out online
Speaker 3: and it's like, you're broken.
Speaker 2: It's fact.
Speaker 1: Listen what that thing is they say in school, man,
Speaker 1: Empty wagons make the most noise. Man, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, you know, even we like that, Like
Speaker 1: I can't honestly say, We've had a million conversations, whether
Speaker 1: it's me, you, you know, the whole crew, but we
Speaker 1: don't be on on negative shit. You know. We have
Speaker 1: our jokes, we have our laughs, shouts and smalls. Its
Speaker 1: good King, but we don't never have them comments because
Speaker 1: that shit not acceptable over here. It's not acceptable.
Speaker 2: I can't come to the shop.
Speaker 1: See man bro Man the algorithm messing over me. Dog Man,
Speaker 1: you know this. He'll be like, Trap, what you're doing?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Trap? Nah, but I'm trying. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna call you back. Trap, Yeah, that's not it. Your
Speaker 1: energy bad. Like I be telling people all the time,
Speaker 1: Man check your energy, but Man, check your energy.
Speaker 2: Man, Trap.
Speaker 3: Trap such a lawyer, like I tell Trap for all
Speaker 3: the time. You know, he's he's a he's a street guy.
Speaker 3: So he still carries those street code ethics where it's like,
Speaker 3: you know, he sticks up for his friends. He sticks
Speaker 3: up with people that he that he loves. And it's
Speaker 3: like even people like sometimes people like they might say
Speaker 3: bad things about us, and he's like it gets him,
Speaker 3: you know, rapped up. And I'll be like, you don't
Speaker 3: gonna worry about that, man, It ain't even not entertained,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Because it's like negative energy
Speaker 3: is only gonna weigh you down, Like you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. It's like that's just real, Like you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. That's why a lot of times it'd
Speaker 3: be like, it's not some things. A lot of most
Speaker 3: things are not even worth entertaining. It's not even worth
Speaker 3: entertaining because it's like when you really think about it,
Speaker 3: you realize that most of the time, the people that's
Speaker 3: hating his fans for real, Like when I said, like
Speaker 3: you know, some say, hey, it's confused admiration. It really
Speaker 3: a lot of times it's just confused admiration. They really
Speaker 3: admire you, but they don't they don't really understand. They
Speaker 3: don't they don't know how to actually express themselves properly.
Speaker 3: A lot of time we dealing with pain, especially Black people.
Speaker 3: We got a lot of pain. That's why for me,
Speaker 3: like you know me, I be having more empathy, like
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying when I see people now
Speaker 3: it's like somebody say something crazy and I really, like,
Speaker 3: I know, mentally something not right, like you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like I look at it from a situation
Speaker 3: like not that person's in pain more than anything. Or
Speaker 3: he really want to get close, so he want to
Speaker 3: be on the platform and he want to do this,
Speaker 3: So it's not really so much he don't he don't
Speaker 3: really hate me.
Speaker 2: He actually it's just confused. It's confused admiration. He don't
Speaker 2: know how to fully express it.
Speaker 1: That's the fact Ian said, we'd be having to call
Speaker 1: on trap down Like I just feel like like bro
Speaker 1: like and this is how I feel, the like I've
Speaker 1: poured so much into y'all. Y'all pulled so much into me.
Speaker 1: We invested in one another, right like. And I'm not
Speaker 1: the person to just be cool with people all the time.
Speaker 1: So like, if I hear somebody say something bad about y'all,
Speaker 1: I gotta say something because if I want, if I
Speaker 1: come back and tell y'all somebody saying something, the first
Speaker 1: thing you should ask me is why did they feel
Speaker 1: comfortable saying that shit around you? What kind of conversation
Speaker 1: y'all have? Well, that shit was even acceptable to come
Speaker 1: out their mouth? You feel what I'm saying. So for me,
Speaker 1: it's like, nah, fam, like you got an issue? Right Like?
Speaker 1: What's good? You know what I'm saying? What's damn? Fam?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 1: What's your problem? You know what I'm saying? Because this
Speaker 1: here's what I know. I know that we all here just.
Speaker 2: Doing good to our people, like we not out here
Speaker 2: scamming people.
Speaker 1: Were not out here being this lord bro like they
Speaker 1: don't understand like they get the finished the people get
Speaker 1: the finished product. They don't understand the research that Troy doing.
Speaker 1: They don't understand the band of Troy had between being
Speaker 1: a husband a father. They don't researching for this. They
Speaker 1: don't understand how you bring your son the AEU and
Speaker 1: doing this. They don't understand how I gotta fly back
Speaker 1: to New Orleans come here. Oh, I still gotta do
Speaker 1: trapping to this. I still got to me a content.
Speaker 1: They don't understand how I and in home homeschool is
Speaker 1: Xander all day and then still making fifteen slides.
Speaker 3: Because Ian is the father the Yeah, I still don't
Speaker 3: understand how he does that? Like you feel mean to
Speaker 3: be doing homeschool all day every day. They don't understand
Speaker 3: that all they get is the finished product.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So for me, I can't
Speaker 1: have nobody talking about my people if I know my
Speaker 1: people doing good work out here. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: So no, that shit not gonna be acceptable to me
Speaker 1: at all. You know what I'm saying. And then you know,
Speaker 1: instead of you putting that type of energy out, I
Speaker 1: want you to say, damn like them dudes really putting
Speaker 1: on because I know what we're doing, Like I know
Speaker 1: this ain't no.
Speaker 2: I know y'all just don't.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, bro, let's just go through market moneys. Bro,
Speaker 1: let's do this like I know the relationship you building.
Speaker 1: I know the conversations you haven't. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I know that what you're putting out that to make
Speaker 1: this ship what is bro? Like this ain't no, This
Speaker 1: ain't easy. There's two years of blood, sweating, tears. This
Speaker 1: comes from iPhones that having ten thousand dollars, the equipment
Speaker 1: to make up real you know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: know what y'all putting in. This ain't no easy. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So and then what happens now
Speaker 1: is when you tell that story like yo, we did
Speaker 1: this with iPhones and now we got you know however
Speaker 1: much And like that's somebody who thought about putting a
Speaker 1: podcast together saying I can do it. You feel me.
Speaker 1: That's somebody saying but I ain't never invest in the
Speaker 1: stock before. But shit, from seeing Wallstreet trapping Ian and
Speaker 1: y'all talk about it, I know I can do it.
Speaker 1: I ain't never heard the futures before. But I hear
Speaker 1: Ian talk about all the time.
Speaker 6: I do it.
Speaker 1: I ain't never heard about dividends or whatever for Trapp
Speaker 1: talk about, but I can do it. So it's now
Speaker 1: it's a transition to saying, Yo, we all got a story.
Speaker 1: This is how we connect, this is what's possible. And
Speaker 1: I think that's what we represent. I think we were
Speaker 1: We represent what's possible on the level that's attainable, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And I think that's what people
Speaker 1: need to see and that's what people enjoy and that's
Speaker 1: what people love. Because now, Bro, I literally was talking
Speaker 1: to my assistant today and I got excited. I said, Man,
Speaker 1: people really fucking me. She was like, she was like,
Speaker 1: excuse her. I was like, man, really fucking me. You
Speaker 1: don't really understand. It's Voss She ting shit serious. So
Speaker 1: she's like, what are you talking about? So I sent
Speaker 1: her a clip from somebody from Trapping Toolsies. He had
Speaker 1: a it was inside of a whipping pot and he said,
Speaker 1: I'm whipping this shit up like well, and he had
Speaker 1: he had me too, is going on why he was
Speaker 1: riving the thing up?
Speaker 4: And I said that was so that made me feel
Speaker 4: so good to know, like Yo, were pouring into it,
Speaker 4: Like what we're doing is real, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And so for me, the reason why I'm always happy,
Speaker 1: I'm always smiling, I'm always because I get to use
Speaker 1: those same experiences from the street and package that into
Speaker 1: this message and people get it, Bro, Like that's what
Speaker 1: purpose is, man. And I'm gonna tell you all this. Man.
Speaker 1: I know we've been know how much I'm gonna go. Bro,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this. Your purpose has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with you and everything to do with other people. So
Speaker 1: many other people's success is to tie to your purpose.
Speaker 1: And when you don't walk in your purpose, you denying
Speaker 1: people are the success. Say that again, your purpose has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with you, and it has everything to
Speaker 1: do with other people because your purpose is attached to
Speaker 1: other people's success. When you don't walk in your purpose,
Speaker 1: you don't allow other people to be successful. If Earn
Speaker 1: your Leasion doesn't start this podcast, how many people be
Speaker 1: awoke to financial literacy? If Wall Street Trapper doesn't start
Speaker 1: this how many people will understand like, Yo, I really
Speaker 1: need to be investing my money, so our purpose has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with us. Nothing. Somebody else's purpose is
Speaker 1: what our success is attached to. But our purpose is
Speaker 1: attached to so many other people's success. Man, But that's
Speaker 1: why we got to keep going. So they got fourteen
Speaker 1: hundred people on here, twelve hundred people on here. I
Speaker 1: need you all to be walking on y'all purpose because
Speaker 1: if for those people, there's other people's success that's tied
Speaker 1: to y'all and you.
Speaker 2: Can't and you can't be scared either.
Speaker 3: I told Troy, you know, Troy tells the story all
Speaker 3: the time, Like you know, I told him a long
Speaker 3: time ago. I say, look, you're not gonna be working
Speaker 3: your job no more. I'm gonna make sure that or
Speaker 3: make sure you know your job no more. So now
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. He's not working a job.
Speaker 3: But I remember, like a couple of years ago. You know, Troy,
Speaker 3: he no choice you're making. So he comes from a
Speaker 3: West Indian family and it was just hard workers. You know,
Speaker 3: if you know what you're making. They got three jobs
Speaker 3: since they eight year old. Like they just work like
Speaker 3: they know, they know what I'm saying. They're good people.
Speaker 3: They just they just know about work. He's not really
Speaker 3: from an entrepreneur background, so I was always telling him like, yo, nah,
Speaker 3: you're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna be doing this full time.
Speaker 3: And then I remember, you know, he was always like, no,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm I'm calling my calling is to teach.
Speaker 2: My call is to teach.
Speaker 3: And I'm like I told him, I said, look, no disrespect,
Speaker 3: but I'm like, uh, there's millions of physical education teachers,
Speaker 3: any anybody, I said, anybody could be a physical education teacher,
Speaker 3: but only a select feel can actually change the world.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm like, you can change the world, Like
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, You're mission, your purpose on life.
Speaker 3: It's bigger than being a physical education teacher, Like you
Speaker 3: got the ability to change the world. And to see
Speaker 3: like that's true, like you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 3: so it's like even him, like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: Like now he's transitioning with this is full time now,
Speaker 3: like you know what I'm saying. And it's like for me,
Speaker 3: that's that's that's just dope to see his transition because
Speaker 3: like I said, me, I always was an entrepreneur, but
Speaker 3: he wasn't always an entrepreneur. So to go from education
Speaker 3: to now educating, but now you're educating millions of people.
Speaker 3: It's like, what if you would have had that mindset
Speaker 3: of like no, I can't leave my job, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like it would have never happened.
Speaker 1: I remember telling Troy that so like I remember when
Speaker 1: I when I came, did the podcast and we built
Speaker 1: I remember Traul was like, Yo, this is a classic.
Speaker 1: I was like, and I was like telling y'all like bro,
Speaker 1: like nah, like what y'all doing is for real. And
Speaker 1: then once we started building our relationship, I remember telling
Speaker 1: Troy like, Troy, you gotta leave. You got to leave
Speaker 1: the job. Troy. I was like Troy, like, but shure,
Speaker 1: I can't just do it by myself, Like you got
Speaker 1: to leave the job. And then when the pandemic happened,
Speaker 1: you know, I was like Troy like I gotta leave,
Speaker 1: like it's time. I was like the pressure on. And
Speaker 1: then I remember when he did it. He called me
Speaker 1: like I did a trap. I was like what you did?
Speaker 1: He was like, it ain't no going back. And I
Speaker 1: knew what that meant because I was deb before. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, I knew I know that feeling
Speaker 1: of I'm excited, but I'm like, could I just do that? Like,
Speaker 1: did I just make up my mind to say that?
Speaker 1: And here's the thing for me, Tuto. For me, the
Speaker 1: scariest part wasn't just leaving my job. That was the
Speaker 1: easy part. I'm gonna just be honest with you. The
Speaker 1: scariest part for me was saying I'm gonna leave my job,
Speaker 1: go back to New Orleans and not get back in
Speaker 1: the streets at all. That was the hard part. That
Speaker 1: was the scary part for me, the scary part. And
Speaker 1: and please let me, I wasn't no l trap or
Speaker 1: nothing like that. Please let me let me. I'm not
Speaker 1: telling that type of favory tale story, right. I was just,
Speaker 1: you know, a street dude, just doing what street dudes do.
Speaker 1: And so for me, it was saying I'm gonna quit
Speaker 1: my job. That's the easy part of all. Part back
Speaker 1: to my culture, my hood, well not my hood because
Speaker 1: my hood ain't been the same as years, but my culture,
Speaker 1: my city where I know I know how to get around,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna get back in the street no
Speaker 1: matter how hard this shit get, because if I get
Speaker 1: back in the street, I'm not dedicated to the mission
Speaker 1: like I say I am. I don't believe in it,
Speaker 1: like I say I am. If I go back to
Speaker 1: the street, then I'm not walking in my purpose. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to do this shit on my own and I
Speaker 1: can't do that. I can't do that. So for me,
Speaker 1: it was saying, I'm one hundred percent vested in this,
Speaker 1: one d invested in this. So you know again, you know,
Speaker 1: I just was a regular dude in the street, just
Speaker 1: doing you know, making it work. So I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna dedicate myself to that, no move. I'm
Speaker 1: much just one hundred percent believe in my visit, one
Speaker 1: hundred percent walking my purpose. And here we are two
Speaker 1: years later, and I can honestly say it was the
Speaker 1: best investment and the best risk that I ever took.
