But honestly, Matt has helped 12 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people in his industry be seeing his 13 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: activists are actors, actresses, a lot of people. Not for 14 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: people that don't know like he's doing. He's the go 15 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: to person for getting their mortgage.

Matt 20 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: tell him, what's the sauce. Yeah, the sauce is just 21 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: being true and honest, you know what I'm saying, and 22 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: moving that silence, Like he says a lot of people 23 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: I help, but you don't see it on my ground, 24 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: you know. I think that's first and foremost. You know, 25 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: I'm not out here to spread to anybody's business or 26 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: anything like that. My first and foremost goal is to 27 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: help people achieve their real estate goals and being their 28 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: goal to sauce because real estate wasn't taught in our 29 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: community is growing up. Half of the people that we 30 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: are follow and we buy their music and things of 31 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: that nature. When we're really speaking, they have they have 32 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: no clue about real estate and financing at that. So 33 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: I just want to be able to provide that information, 34 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: give them the real information, and ultimately helped them get 35 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: to the closing table and that's going to help them 36 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: build well. So the sauce for me is just being 37 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: honest and open, you know what I mean, and be connected. 38 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: A couple of years ago and I told him like 39 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: I didn't even want to speak at the seminar. They'll 40 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: tell you like I told them no several times, like 41 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: I just want to be at the table and talk 42 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: to the people, and he kind of forced me to speak, 43 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: and I'm glad he did because now you know, I'm 44 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: on a breakfast club four times now because of him 45 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: forcing me and me stepping outside of my confidence zone. 46 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: Only for Matt one time twice was counting, you know, 47 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: because I was fired twice. What happened with Matt was, 48 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: you know when when the whole thing took off, when 49 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: we started doing the seminar is it helped a lot 50 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: of people in their business. It helped the credit. Dude, 51 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: those ain't help Matt. And Matt posted one time that 52 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: he was getting too many people. He was like it 53 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: was like, I think like June and he was like, 54 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: I remember, I'm just putting up this text. He was like, 55 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: I can't talk to nobody into January, so advice, I'll 56 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: talk to you in January. Yeah, this is seven eight 57 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: months and I'm like, bro, what are you doing? I'm 58 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: like this play for you wore this type of business, 59 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: and now you're shutting people off. So I cursed them 60 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: out and I was like, he was like, what am 61 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: I doing? I'm only person. I said, hire people. That's 62 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: what business is about. Find the right people and hire 63 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: people and we yet Yeah, you know, because I look 64 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: at it like a therapist kind of, right, like when 65 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: the therapists can't take on more clients, they just can't 66 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: take on more clients. Yeah. Look, you're only one person. 67 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: And my business wasn't built for social media. My business 68 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: was built I've been doing mortgages for twenty years. It 69 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: was built for real estate agents and my book of business. 70 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: So you don't need ten people on your staff to 71 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: kind of handle that business. Now when you get into 72 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: social media. I remember one of the first times I 73 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: spoke the envy. He said, once I tag you, I 74 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: hope you write it because your life is going to 75 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: change forever. I didn't know what the hell he was 76 00:03:50,240 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: talking about at that time, and when I said back 77 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: in the pub and was right, because my dams and 78 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: everything were just started going crazy. How it's going on. 79 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: So you get overwhelmed, like it's natural as a business 80 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: person when you step into something new, you don't you're 81 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: not trained for this stuff, right, No one trained you 82 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: to be a social media influencer and to answer a 83 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: thousand questions. It's like, damn, what the hell? But our community, 84 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: You've never had anybody that looked like us that did it. 85 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: So I knew once you were able to help people 86 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: people have they only have very few people they can 87 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: flop to and ask questions too. And somebody that's good 88 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: and not gonna charge them they got a question, You're 89 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: gonna charge them ten thousand for a question. No, that 90 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: that's your job. You want to get people loans, that's 91 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: part of what you do. And I knew that was 92 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: gonna happen. So when you put I'll talk to you 93 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: eight months, I'm like nine, you need to, you know, 94 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: reevaluate your company and hire more people and figure it out. 95 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: And you did. And that's what was the second fight. 96 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: The second fight, Um, what was the second fight? There 97 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: was no contact. I really was kidding. He was procuring 98 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: me to step into my greatness, right, like, don't back 99 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: away from what you prayed for. Like he just said, 100 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: to be careful what you pray for in life, because 101 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: it will come to you, not on your time, but 102 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: in God's time. And at that time I didn't realize, like, yo, 103 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: this is what I was praying for. But sometimes you 104 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: need them. You need a vessel, you need a voice 105 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: to be able to tell that to you. And then 106 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: when I sat back and thought about it. Literally two 107 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: days later, I said, you know what broke? You're right, 108 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: I said, I got to expand. And I think as 109 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: business owners sometimes one of the biggest mistakes that any 110 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: business owner make, no matter what filled you in, we 111 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: kind of want to still be mom and pop and 112 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: want to hold onto everything and not delegate because we're 113 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: afraid of investing into ourselves. And you have to take 114 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: that risky invest into yourself, invest into your business to 115 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: expand a scale and let loose and um delegate at 116 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: a high level. So for me, that's what I had 117 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 1: to learn, and that was a lesson that was taught. 118 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: And now you know it's took taken off and you 119 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: know we're here now and that brings us right to invest. 120 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: Vesty the biggest y'all got Tyler Perry on how that 121 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: shout out to Steve Harvey for making that man. Steve 122 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: loves y'all. I was having lunch with Steve one day, man, 123 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: and it was like right after y'all did the first 124 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: interview with him, and like literally all he was was 125 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: talking about was earning It was earning your lead.

Like so most people 130 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: don't know this, but it was a Black Effect connection. 131 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: So shout out to Black Effect because the first person 132 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: that is in contact with was Nicole Spence and the 133 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: cod hit me last summer like, Hey, this is this 134 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: is an interview out there that I might be able 135 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: to get for y'all if you're interested. And I'm like, 136 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: who is it? She said? Steve Hardy like what do 137 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: you mean? If I'm interested? Of course we're gonna do it. 138 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: It won't take it, of course, And so that led 139 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: to us meeting to Bed Stevens. Shout out to Bed, 140 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: who's the plug? Want to see Harvey's right hand businessman, 141 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: And so that led to the relationship. But had we 142 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: not having a code from Black Effect, you know, we 143 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: probably don't even need me, Harvey, because it did. You're 144 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: making connections. Know what invest Fest is? Break down what 145 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: invest Fest is, when it is and what can people 146 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: get out of it? Yeah, so invest Fest, you know 147 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: you always hear about these music festivals all the time. 148 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: Coachella made an America Roots Picnic, and you know, just 149 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: thinking last year, we was like brainstorming and I'm like, 150 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: all right, let's not do a conference, let's not do 151 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: a seminar, Let's do a festival and like what do 152 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: you mean? And I'm like a financial literacy festival, Like 153 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: what do you mean? It doesn't even make sense. I'm 154 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: like why not? And they're like, WHOA, that doesn't happen. 155 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, WHOA, who's to say it can't happen. So 156 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, now, let's reverse engineer it. So 157 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: let's take the best things that festivals have, food trucks, 158 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: food experiences. We added that musical performances, we added that 159 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: a VIP like exclusive situation, we added that live podcast, 160 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: and but all blended together with education, business, and finance. 161 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: So last year was the first year in Atlanta. We 162 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: have four thousand people, and this year we scaled up 163 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: and we're looking at like eleven thousand people in Atlanta 164 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: over three day weekend. So it's for us, it's all 165 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: about just stepping out of the realm of what's normal, 166 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: and everything that we do has really never been done, 167 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: so we get to make history every single time we 168 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: do anything. So it's like, you know, of course we 169 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: got Charlomagne and God's gonna be there, dj Envy, his partner, 170 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: Caesar our Gout, nineteen Keys, Ian Dune, Lad Wall Street, 171 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: Trapper Matt. But we also have people like Dan Cathy, 172 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: who not a lot of people know, but he's a 173 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: former CEO of Chick fil A. He's worth seven billion dollars, 174 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: Like that's not normal to have somebody like on Sunday 175 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: on Sunday, Sunday Sunday him on Sunday Billionaire Day. Eric 176 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: Thomas is one of the top motivational speakers ever. We 177 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: got my brother Terrence Jay Kenny Brown and then you know, 178 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 1: we just wanted to just take it over the top. 179 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: I was always taught when you up our thirty points, 180 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: win by fifty. So it's like Tyler Perry had to 181 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: drop that bomb, Like when's the last time you ever 182 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: heard him speak publicly or speak about business. And this 183 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: is the guy that got a landing strip literally at 184 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: his house three hundred and thirty acres, He built his 185 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: own Hollywood in Atlanta. So I mean, it's gonna be 186 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: an experience like none other. And you know, for us, 187 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: it's just automatically just going bigger and bigger and bigger 188 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: every single time. It's like, you know, to take it 189 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: to places that nobody could even imagine, like you know, 190 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: and then like the Vendor Marketplace, we have two hundred 191 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: and eighty five vendors to kind of like how Essence Fest. 192 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: So when you go there, you're gonna have a DJ, 193 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna have vendors, small businesses. So you know, we 194 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: talk about Groupeck and im mix like we really live it, 195 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: like it's not just the thing. So we put up 196 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: our own money. We funded it ourselves. You know, got 197 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: the venue, we booked everything ourselves, Like this is us, 198 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: like you know, so it's like everything Jim shout out 199 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: to Jim Jones. He came last year and he was like, yeah, 200 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: this is like real black excellence. He's like everybody talk 201 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: about black excellence. This is real Black exens Like this 202 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: is dope. Just to see it in person because he 203 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: always see these and like shout out to envy. He'd 204 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: do his events by himself. But a lot of these 205 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: events and it's no disrespect, but it's it's major corporations, 206 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: live nations pointing together and they just put the artist's 207 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: name on it, but it's not the artists don't really 208 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: have no idea what's going on with the business back 209 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: in Live Nation is running it. But for us, everything 210 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: that we do with independent. Shout out to Dame Dash 211 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: he will be there, shouts one brother Dames. So everything 212 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: we do is independent. So it's like we can't just 213 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: talk about something, we actually got to be about it. Yeah, Hey, 214 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: I mention Ross Ross. Thank you for mentioning that. Shout 215 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: to my brother Ross. Yeah. And another thing is is 216 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: that we want to be very intentional, right, like obviously 217 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: Sells greenbergs here, we want to be very intentional about 218 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: making sure that everybody was being celebrated. Like when we 219 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: thought about the name, me Charlie was going back and forth, 220 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: mat was going back forth, Mike. We were coming up 221 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: with the name, and we didn't want to have Earniellegia 222 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: in part of it, right, Like we knew that obviously 223 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: people don't knew that we were putting it together, but 224 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: it wasn't about us. It was about bringing a community 225 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: together and highlighting so much talent and so like when 226 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: we see Coachella, we really don't know who the CEO is. 227 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: If we don't look it up. We know Jay does 228 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: Made in America, but his name ain't on the bill, right. 229 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: Roots picnics say like we've seen them do it, but 230 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: like who's the business behind it? So we wanted to 231 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: make sure that everybody gets celebrated. So invest Fest is 232 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: now becoming the place where it's like, if you have 233 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: a business, you have to be there. If you're entertainer, 234 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: you need to be there, right, If you have a 235 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: tech startup you should be in the building. Right, Like 236 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: we said, we got three billionaires on Sunday, Like, where 237 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: do you see? That's crazy? And so it becomes a 238 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: place that you have to be kind of like how 239 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: essence Fest was and still is. We want to do 240 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: that for business. I want to ask you all the 241 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: questions because you know, uh, you know, Gilly the kid 242 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: was had some things to say about Ross and he 243 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: said something like he was like, why would you buy 244 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: a cow? Now I'm from the country, so I understand 245 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: invested in a livestock. Could you could y'all just explain 246 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: why that is a good investment. First sean to a 247 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: million dollars for game Gilly and White guys and shout 248 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: out to Ross with friends both with with new True 249 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: in that situation. But I think he was a little 250 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: misguided in the statement because one of my friends, Walstreet 251 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: Trapper actually was was intricate in show to Kiana watching 252 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: her husband and getting it was actually a bull um. 253 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: But it's a misguided statement because you know, Rick Ross, 254 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: he has a hundred of some acres and agriculture is 255 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: real big and it's something that we don't we don't 256 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: really fully understand or appreciating our community. And it's like 257 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: we always we're consumers a lot of times, right, and 258 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: we eat food. Everybody eats food, but we never think 259 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: about who was actually making money off of this, right. 260 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: So it's like when Jay Prince has like, you know, 261 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: a ranch and he has like hundreds of cows yea, 262 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: and hundreds of cows and making seven hundred thousand dollars 263 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: a year off off of hey, Like you know what 264 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like the things that especially you know, coming 265 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: up in urban environments to city like Philly and New York, 266 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: we never think of that, but that is something that 267 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: we need to get more into. So I actually applaud 268 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 1: Rick Ross for doing that and for showing it right 269 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: because you know, Ross is one of these people that 270 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: always shows loves to the entrepreneurs, the young entrepreneurs like us, 271 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: Like he does a lot of stuff behind the scenes 272 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: and shows a lot of love and it's genuine. So 273 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: I think that that was a learning opportunity and hopefully 274 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,599 Speaker 1: more people can actually, you know, take farming and agriculture 275 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: serious because we need more black farmers. Like you're from 276 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: South Carolina, you understand that, and you know there was 277 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: a point where there was a lot of black farmers 278 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: and not it's hardly any black farmers. And it's like, 279 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: you know even with Minneso of Aericans, like you can't 280 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: control your food, then that's like one of the most 281 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: essential things in life, right, So it's like we always 282 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: have diabetes, high blood pressure, all of that, but a 283 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: lot of that is is coming through the food that 284 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: we're eating. And a lot of the reason is that 285 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: we're not controlling the food. So we just are getting 286 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: foods with chemicals and you know that there's not slaughtering 287 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: the animals correctly. So Charter ross Man, I think I 288 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: think it was taken out of context. I mean because 289 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: when people see ross it's like one week you see 290 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: him doing the Jamaican stump and not he's in the 291 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: cows and it's like, nah, he's actually a great business 292 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: man and he has great people around him and advised 293 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: him as far as investments, telling you about it, but yeah, 294 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: that's a tax right off number one. But even from 295 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: an investment standpoint in the market, like we know that 296 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: a recession is here, we know that food price is arising, 297 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: Well we're gonna eat right, Like, that's one thing we're 298 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: gonna do. Third recession, So why wouldn't we invest in agriculture? 299 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: But if it matter, tell you this, if you have 300 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: agriculture on your property, your taxes probably go from two 301 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: hundred fifty thousand to five thousand, absolutely tax culture that 302 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: you have. So I'm sure with Ross's mind frame, that's 303 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: probably why. Absolutely, But look at the promising Look how 304 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: bigger is Like why wouldn't you have it there? You 305 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: know you have the space for it. And then you 306 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: get the tax benefit of being a business owner because 307 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: that's what the tax code is made for us instead 308 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: to help business owners and real estate investors, right, So 309 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: why not take full advantage of it? Because I'm about 310 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: to put some this is in my bag. Everything y'all say, 311 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: everything y'all saying this is true. On Glashaw touched on 312 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: the minister fiercon aspect of it, because with all of 313 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: these foods shortage is happening, You're gonna want to have 314 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: some livestock. You're gonna want to know how to grow 315 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: your own foods on your problem. So, yes, that's why 316 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: you buy a cow. So let me ask you a question. 317 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: There was I've seen a clip that you posted here 318 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: we go, this one that somebody who do you lip 319 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: service is a dangerous show. Okay, declared I just want 320 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: to say, okay, friend of the show. Yes. So we 321 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: were at BT weekend, BT at Words weekend for the 322 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: first time they had podcasts in the radio room.

They were sitting right next to 324 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: me next to lip Service, and I just want to say, 325 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: rash and joy I have always said they want to 326 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: do lip service.

It was about, you know, 333 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: I try to tie in relationships and finances. And I 334 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: was asking him, you know, if you go on a 335 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: first date, how much did you spend on a first date? 336 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: And how much did you say?

So I never said this 342 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: is what all men should do. This is what you 343 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: have to do, This is the mandate that So I said, 344 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, I think three hundred dollars is a reasonable 345 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: amount of money to spend on the first date. Now 346 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: keep into consideration. We're in New York City, right, It's 347 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: going to cause fifty dollars just to park your car. 348 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: You go to a restaurant like stk or Brooklyn, chopouts 349 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: or whatever.

I 356 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: understand that it's sensitive times, it's a recession, but it's 357 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: also a reality, right, It's it's just the harsh reality 358 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: of life, like it's your reality.

Yes, can't wait. 440 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 1: Look afford to it going on? As well as far 441 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: as investment, I see interest rates going high, I seen 442 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: crypto down. What's going on? So why should people put 443 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: their money? Should they park? Should they wait with? What 444 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: do you'll suggest? Look, I think one of the best 445 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: investments of all time will always be real estate. But 446 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: you can't go wrong. You know, if the if the 447 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 1: stock market goes up down left or right, if the 448 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: housing market goes up down left and right, your property 449 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: doesn't disappear. Right, you can still go and touch it. Right. Um, 450 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: Equity is monopoly money. This is something I've been saying 451 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: for years, even before I came on the internet. So 452 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: if you're out here banking on the appreciation of a property, 453 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: then you could be setting yourself up for failure because 454 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: if the market changes and you depending on that, yeah, yeah, yeah, sol, 455 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: you should out of luck. Basically, So if you're looking 456 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: to buy primary residence right now, I think you have 457 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: to kind of be mindful of what you can really 458 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: afford because the bank will always can approve you, but 459 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can afford that mortgage. And this is 460 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: something I've been saying even when rates were in the 461 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: mid two percent, Right, don't approve eligible and affordability is 462 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: two different things. So if you're looking to buy a 463 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: house in today's market, look, you gotta have reserves. You 464 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: got you gotta prepare for any expenses that might come up. 465 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: If you're looking to buy rental properties, even if you're 466 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: going to live in a property, tenants ain't guaranteed to 467 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: pay you anything, right, so you gotta make sure you 468 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: can afford to buy that property and maintain it. I 469 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: think this is going to be the greatest opportunity, even 470 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: past the pandemic, ever for real estate investors because right 471 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: now there's a lot of fear in the news. Everything 472 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: you see right now and when it comes to real 473 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: estate is fair. But what did Warren Buffett say? He said, 474 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: when people are being fair, fool be greedy. Right, So 475 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: this is the time that investors will be able to 476 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: go out there and really build up a nice portfolio, 477 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: even what interest rates going higher because the demand of 478 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: the regular everyday home buyer, they're gonna sit on the 479 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: sidelines because they're gonna sit there and wait for the market. Right, 480 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: And you can't time the market, can't, You can't. Not. 481 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: Real estate attorney definitely told me he was like, Angela, 482 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: just waited a minute before you buy anything else, right, Yeah, 483 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: I mean, but you're establisher, right, You're in a position 484 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: where you can afford to be patient. You don't really 485 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,719 Speaker 1: have to go out here and just say I'm going 486 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: to buy real estate just to buy real estate. Right 487 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: you're in a position you can do that because you're 488 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: already owned. But I think for the first time investor 489 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: or the person who may have one or two properties 490 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: and you continue to look in to grow, this is 491 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: your time right now, because if you look at all 492 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: the stats that's coming out, homebuyers are taking a back 493 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: seat right now. They can't afford these six percent interest rates, 494 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: which soon will be seven percent. I mean, you get 495 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: in the seven percent right right now if you've got 496 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: a low six hundred credit score, right if you have 497 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: high credit scores. Right now, you're mid to high fives 498 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: right now on a thirty year mortgage. So a lot 499 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: of people are going to take a step back from that. 500 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: What does that do at least opportunity for the investors. 501 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: You're going to see more institutional money hit the streets. 502 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: You're going to see more foreign money at the streets. 503 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 1: Why because people are going to rent. And look what's 504 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: up and stuck right now? Rent The average rent is 505 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: over two thousand dollars nationwide right now, and that's going 506 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: to continue to go up like when it was the 507 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: last time you see rent declining, No, never during the 508 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: pendent early on the pand that make a difference in 509 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: New York City, But that was that was a unicorn 510 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: type of situation, right unless COVID twenty twenty three comes out, right, 511 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: that's that's like I feel like they're forcing people to 512 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: purchase homes because we're rent so high. Like I was. 513 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: I was called the battom. My daughter's actually buying something, 514 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: but I called Matt And the reason I was forced 515 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: to do it is because her wrint shot up five 516 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month, yea, And I was surprising that 517 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: they could do it. And everybody's telling me that they 518 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: rented or shooting up. And I know, you know me 519 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,959 Speaker 1: owning a couple of places, you know the rent goes up, 520 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: but not not to this rate. But it's ridiculous where 521 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: you have to buy because it's coursing you more to rent. Ever, 522 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: got crazy. I put a post on other day, don't 523 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: know if you saw it. In the UK, they're rolling 524 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: out fifty year mortgages. I think that's good. I think 525 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: that's a good idea. I think that's good. They used 526 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: to have that back in the day, during the wild 527 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: cowboy days there was forty year mortgages. Fifty year mortgages. How, 528 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: I think that's good. I wish they give me a 529 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: hundred year margat all my profits. That's crazy. I hate 530 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: a long mortgage because I hate paying all the interest 531 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: up front. Well, yeah, it is going to be more 532 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: expensive on a long run, but if you're looking about affordability, right, 533 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: you have to spread that out a little bit more, 534 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: especially with higher interest rates. But you can always prepay 535 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: your principal balance to kind of. But I think a 536 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: lot of people do that. Like you said, some people 537 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: can't afford it, but also people like to move their 538 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: money around. They know that they can if it's a 539 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: fifty year mortgage. Let's say let's say your mortgage it's 540 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: three grand. If it's a fifty year mortgage, your mortgage 541 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: is now seventeen hundred. You have that other thirteen hundred 542 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: to move and try to shake and invest in something 543 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: else that's gonna pay that full mortgage. That's what people 544 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: should do, and a lot of people do that. It's 545 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: something mentally for me when I look at my mortgage 546 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: breakdown and I see that, like, yeah, I can't see 547 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: saying that. When I see, say, let's just say it 548 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: was a thousand dollars and nine hundred and fifty years 549 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: going toward interest and fifty dollars going towards the principle, 550 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: and you're like, damn, I'm just spending all this. It 551 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 1: bothers me mentally, and I know that people think differently 552 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: about it, but for some reason in my head, I'm like, 553 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: I hate paying all this interest that's not going toward 554 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: you know, but I understand that you affordability aspect, but 555 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: that comes with discipline also to prepay your mortgage, right 556 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: because like what you just said, and you have that 557 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: surplus a capital now, and the smart thing should be 558 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: to invest it into something else. That's where you can, 559 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: you know, have an overflow. But most people know they're 560 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: gonna go to the gucy store, they're gonna go to 561 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: the bay, they're gonna go on vacation, right, the average person, 562 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: that's what they're gonna do. Instead of having a discipline, 563 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: say you know what, I'm gonna put this savings and 564 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: pay down my principal balance, or even if you get 565 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: a thirty year mortgage. I tell people all the time, 566 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: don't don't worry about the term, right, come up with 567 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 1: a plan an exit strategy. I think in everything in 568 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: life you need an exit strategy and business and investments 569 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: and especially real estate of when you want to get 570 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: out of that mortgage. So if your goal is especially 571 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: if you're buying in your forties, you know you're gonna 572 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: retire at sixty, you could take a thirty year mortgage, 573 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: but you should have a plan of action and it's simple. 574 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: The tools are online imanization calculator where you can say, 575 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: if I put my tax with terms that refund every 576 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: single year, or if you're like if I put an 577 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: addition to two principal every month, this one extra payment 578 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: comes out seven years. One extra payment can knock you 579 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: down your mortgage in twenty two and a half twenty 580 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: three years, right, just one extra payment towards your principal 581 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: balance and all the online tools. Everything is digital right 582 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: now with your mortgage payments. You can easily set that 583 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: up as an automatical thing where you're not even setting 584 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: and forget it. You don't even have to think about it. 585 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: So there's so many ways to skin a cat to 586 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: beat that interest trap when it comes to your financing. 587 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: It's just people just gotta have the discipline. I think, 588 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: I think, and you said investment. So that was the 589 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: real estate standpoint, but from the stock markets, the same thing. 590 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: He used Warren Buffets as the quote. But it's true 591 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: for the stock market. When people are fearful, that's when 592 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: you should be greedy cryptown. Well, we're gonna get there. 593 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at it now, I would 594 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: see the we're in a recession, and so you're looking 595 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: at companies, where should I buy? Well, when you had 596 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: Apple at one hundred and eighty dollars, he's like it's 597 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: too high. Well now it's at one hundred and thirty two. 598 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you buy now? So if you look at 599 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: the same companies we spoke about the last time Apple, Amazon, 600 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: Google was just about to have a split. Right, these 601 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: companies are now at a price point that it's like, 602 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: all right, it's affordable, can do it. But you brought 603 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: up another quip point, agriculture. If we want to look 604 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: at players that are like, hey, I don't want to 605 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: invest in something that's two violentile, look at the agriculture 606 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: high Look at companies like campbell soup right that has 607 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: like a seven percent incline over the past six months. 608 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: It's like, wait, they've appreciated it. They are the time. Well, yeah, 609 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: people are going to eat. Right, Even a company like 610 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: Kelloggs that people probably didn't pay attention to that dividing 611 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: the company into three components now and having snacks as 612 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: one of the pillars of it, Like how many people 613 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: are buying groceries and putting Kelloggs cereal and if snacks. 614 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: And it's something that you don't think about. But it's 615 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: a safe investment because we know people in times like 616 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: this are gonna find affordable ways to eat and they're 617 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,959 Speaker 1: gonna feed their kids, you know first and foremos. So 618 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: there's all different types of ways you can invest obviously 619 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: real estate, but the stock market when where it's at 620 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: right now. Obviously we know recessions last on eighteen months 621 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: on average, So if we're in the middle of it now, 622 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: by the time we get to twenty twenty three, twenty four, 623 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, these investments that we make now will 624 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: set us up for the future. Do you think we're 625 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: officially in a recession. Yeah? Yeah, I think we're definitely 626 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: officially in a recession. People still spending. This is not 627 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: officially recession to people stop spending. Well, it's officially recession 628 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: with two negative quarters of GDP GDP two negative GDP quarters. 629 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: So I think that they haven't officially announced it yet, 630 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: but they will, I think. But I feel like it's 631 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: always gonna be the haves and have nots, right, And 632 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: but with the inflation that that's actually causing a lot 633 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: of problems as well, and the supply chainges a lot 634 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,959 Speaker 1: of thinks you can't get. But it's like, you know, 635 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: talk about investing, and we always talk about investing, but 636 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: I feel like we got to start talking more about 637 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: businesses because it's like a a lot of people. One 638 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: of the biggest things to stop people from investing they 639 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: feel like they don't have enough money to invest, and 640 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: no matter how much you invest, it's still it's nothing 641 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: like starting a cash flowing business. And like black businesses 642 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: or just businesses in general, that's something that we got 643 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: to start talking more about, like as far as starting 644 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: businesses and during a recession, during economic downturns is actually 645 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: a good time to start a business because it's like 646 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: if you can survive during the worst of times, that 647 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: automatically makes you in a thought already in the space. 648 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: And it's like that's what we did, really like I 649 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't say anything that I didn't actually do myself. So 650 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, for us to start to start 651 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: a business, which you know, people it started as a 652 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: as a podcast but turned into a media company and 653 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: we double down on it, you know during COVID and 654 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: expanded our reach and now we have different verticals. So 655 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: now it's like we do invest vest so we have 656 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: a truck, or we do E y O university. It's 657 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: it's it's about growing laterally and having people in plays 658 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: and hiring employees and that's that's the real like, you 659 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: know what we really got to start focusing on because 660 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: that's the only way to really improve our economic situation. 661 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: Investing is very important. But if you don't have money 662 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: to invest, how you're going to invest? And right now, 663 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: in this job market right now, good luck trying to 664 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: find a high paying job. And even if you do, 665 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: inflation is so how you're not even gonna you know, 666 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: make a difference. So it's like for most of us, 667 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: Like for me personally, I went to a state school, 668 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: so I have a communications degree, so I have a 669 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: liberal arts degree from a mid level state school. And 670 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: it's like, if I was actually out here trying to 671 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: find a job right now, I'd be in trouble. You know, 672 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: I will say this though, you know, I think we 673 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: have to support each other in a way that other 674 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: communities do. Right, have a friend that's Jewish and he 675 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: was telling me that a friend opened up a restaurant 676 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: in Brooklyn and he said, for like three months straight 677 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: there was a line around the corner or a restaurant. 678 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: And this was when he was young growing up. And 679 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,239 Speaker 1: he asked, well why, and he was like, well, in 680 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: our community, when somebody opens up a restaurant, we're going 681 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: to support them for the three months every day until 682 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: we can make sure that they can control run on 683 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: their own. And I was like, that's big. He knows 684 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: for the three to six months that he has a 685 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: built in crowd that's going to support his restaurant and 686 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: make sure his restaurant is good. And he said, even 687 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: if the food is bad, or even if they have 688 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: bad service, he said, it's still a line around the 689 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: corner because we all we care about is making sure 690 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: that he's good. If he's good, his family's good, and 691 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: that money stays in that community. We don't do that enough. 692 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: As our people they get starting to happen, they're starting 693 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: to happen. But it's also a part of tradition and 694 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: culture too. Like so a friend of mine is Indian 695 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: and he got married, and you know Indian if you 696 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: ever been, just like a whole week of celebration. So 697 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: when I went to his wedding in Jersey, he was saying, 698 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: his father in law owns like a motel chain. So 699 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: if you know anything about Indians in the motel industry, 700 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: they own like seventy percent of the motel especially on 701 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: the East Coast. So he was explaining to me the 702 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: situation of how they do it. So he's like, they 703 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: come and they like one person will get a motel, right, 704 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: and they work the motel, and then they bring the 705 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: other family members from India over and then all of 706 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: the family they have no choice but to work the 707 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: hotel and they like have different positions in the motel. 708 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: And then they saved the money and then they opened 709 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: up another motel. So it's like the brother will take 710 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: the other motel and then the family will come and 711 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: it's like it's like a domino effect, like they do 712 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: it one by one by one, and then like before 713 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: you know it, now they own like they have a 714 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: monopoly on the motel chains. And it's like who's really 715 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: thinking about owning motels like gas stations, Like you know 716 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it's like it's like you find 717 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: a niche area and then you use family and you 718 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: keep the money within and now you actually just grow 719 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: from there. So that's something that's very important. And it's 720 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: like for us even having family, right, I feel like 721 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 1: if my son has to find a job when he's sixteen, 722 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: I failed as a business owner because it's like what's 723 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: the point of doing all this work, staying up, traveling 724 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: all that. Like, if you want a job, come work 725 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: for me. Yeah. That was one of the things even 726 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: from teaching, like they was like, yeo, man, you can't 727 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: teach that you too, specially be like in that side 728 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: of a school, And I was be sitting there like 729 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: I could work here for twenty five years, Right, it 730 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: won't guarantee that my son can get an interview, Right, 731 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: Like I watched my dad work for forty years in 732 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: the city. I don't even know where it was at. 733 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: It didn't guarantee me anything, right, And so when we 734 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: start thinking like that, it's like, well, what are we 735 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: passing down? Right? If it's my name is not on it, 736 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: I can't give it to him. So if my name 737 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: is not on that school, it can't guarantee that he 738 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: gets a job there. But there's a guarantee that if 739 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: we create something, we can pass that down to our kids. Now, 740 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: they could choose to say, look, I don't want to 741 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: do my whole thing, which is great, right, let's extend 742 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: the legacy even further. Or they could say, look, I 743 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: love what you're doing, dad, Can you pass the torch? 744 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: Is that a position for me inside of this company? 745 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: And that's something we didn't really see a lot, but 746 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: it's happening now and you're still a teacher, and when 747 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: it educator and even when kids. You know, you might 748 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 1: can't pass from a job, but you got so many 749 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: different connections. If they want to go do their whole thing, 750 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: you'd be like, oh, I know somebody that can help 751 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: you with But also with the Internet, I think this 752 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: is the easiest time in the world to be a 753 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: business owner. Right. The information and technology that's available today, 754 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't here when I first came into mortgage business. 755 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: There wasn't all of this information and technology. I mean 756 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: now you have things like Toro that just got passed 757 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,399 Speaker 1: in New York. If you have a car, you could 758 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: put it on Toro. You can make money now, start 759 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: to run a car business. Right. If you own a house, 760 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: if you're struggling with your mortgage, you could put it 761 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: on Airbnb. Right. So there's so many different opportunities that's 762 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: out there. You just have to have to hunger and 763 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: a desire to go out there and search for it 764 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: and get it. Hell, I know people who sell vegan 765 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: patties and you know, and now they got a catering 766 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: business and they cook it out of their house and 767 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: patties in our coffee shop from brand's Patty. And that's why, like, look, 768 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,240 Speaker 1: you're starting coffee shops, you're doing radio, you're doing everything. 769 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: So there's so many ways to skin a cat in 770 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: this world that you just have to be out there 771 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: and be focused and want to get it because a 772 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: lot of people just want things to come to them 773 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: and they're not willing to go work for it. But 774 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: sometimes you also have to realize that, I think one 775 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: of the hardest parts. People sometimes think that being an 776 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: entrepreneur is like really sexy and you're gonna make money 777 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: right away. A lot of times it's a lot of 778 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: struggles and it's a lot of stress, a lot of 779 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: stress and off. Yeah, and a lot of businesses don't 780 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: end up working the way you anticipated and it might 781 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: take years if you ever even do make some money 782 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: from it. So you know, those are all things to 783 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 1: take into consideration too when you're doing your business plan, 784 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: or maybe you have to pivot and switch what your 785 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 1: business plan was originally, or maybe you have to get 786 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: investors or partners. You know, there's a lot of different 787 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: ways that you can try to make it work, but 788 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: it's definitely stressful. Like your phone can go off, you know, 789 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: all hours of the night, at anytime, every little thing 790 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: that goes wrong, everybody is hitting me up about it, 791 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to find solutions even if I can't 792 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 1: be there. I'm trying to do my thing, but I'm 793 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: also trying to make sure that you know, things are 794 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: taken care of at the coffee shop, at the juice bar, 795 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: at the hear store. And it's a lot of stress sometimes, 796 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: And I think that's why this time is so important, right, 797 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: because like, even though you're going through those things, you 798 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: have opportunity and information around you to say, all right, 799 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: well I'm going through these struggles. Who else is going 800 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: through it? Right? And so like when you could share 801 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: your struggles, you could come to a commonality like, all right, 802 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: well here's what I did when I went through that. 803 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: Whereas in the past it was like we got to 804 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: figure that's out on our old amost songs. We failed. Right, 805 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: So when you got a coffee shop and my man 806 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: got a donal shop, he's pulling in Brooklyn, he can 807 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: he has a different eye for the business that you 808 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: may not have, and now you have different visions than 809 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 1: he might have. He puts that together in his business. 810 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: Now he's out of here. I already told him. I said, 811 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: let's put them donuts in the talk about crypto, is 812 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: it still viable to invest in long term? Yeah, I 813 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: think crypto if you know, if you believe in anything, 814 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: you got to have a long term perspective in it, right, 815 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: So cryptocurrency, I feel like it's something that I mean, 816 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 1: just look at at the landscape. You got major institutions 817 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 1: buying tons of bitcoin. You got you know, it's becoming 818 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: more and more accessible. You got bitcoin ATM machines popping up. 819 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: Now they're still a long way to go. It's not 820 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, mainstream yet. But I think blockchain technology and 821 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency is something that's here to stay. And um, you know, 822 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: once again, it's studying history. Crypto has always had crashes, 823 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: Like if you study the crypto market, this is pretty normal, 824 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: Like it always has crash. It's extremely volatile asset, which 825 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: is why you shouldn't invest anything that you can't afford 826 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: to lose, and you shouldn't invest anything that you necessarily need. 827 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: Like it's not investing, it's not gambling. That's the thing. 828 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: A lot of time people will say like, oh, it's 829 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 1: like going to Vegas, Like they say that a lot 830 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: investing is not gambling because gambling is a game of 831 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,760 Speaker 1: chance and investing is a game of knowledge. But investing 832 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: can be synonymous with gambling. When you start using gambling principles, 833 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: when you when you when you when you invest not 834 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: using knowledge, then it is gambling. So if you just 835 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: buy doage coin because every single person is talking about 836 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: dodge coin, you don't know nothing about it, you don't 837 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: understand it. You buy at the high, now you're gambling, right. 838 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,919 Speaker 1: Something is so many people, like you said, they listen 839 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: to people that don't do their homework. And that's the problem. 840 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: That's one of the things that you said. The internet 841 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: is good, but it makes the internet bad as well 842 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: because everybody now is is somebody that is a specialist. 843 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: Everybody right now is somebody that's an educator, and they're 844 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: educating the wrong people. That's why I like your platform 845 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,720 Speaker 1: because you bring people that are successful and actually show 846 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: because everybody because right now the money's in the actual Yeah, 847 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: real estate is teaching real estate. It's not in actually 848 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 1: doing crypto. It's teaching crypto. And there's so many people 849 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: following so many bad examples that really hurt people. Yeah, 850 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: but that's real what you should talk about, you the 851 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,760 Speaker 1: dinner scam. Yeah, there's a lot of those seminar scams, 852 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: a lot of experts scams. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I 853 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: mean you know, it's like this always going to be that, right, 854 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: because it's like, um, there's people that's scullible, right, and 855 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: that's your human nature. It's like it's people that's scullable, 856 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: and that's happening into every field, not just financial literacy. 857 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,479 Speaker 1: You got religion probably the biggest one. You got people 858 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: that scullable that's gonna give people their money just because 859 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: they're saying, if you give me your money, you get 860 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: to go to heaven. They haven't done any research though, 861 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: they haven't fully read whatever text that they're supposed to 862 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: read to understand it. They're just going off of what 863 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: somebody is telling them. So I always tell people a 864 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: time market money if you say, do your research, never 865 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: even met troy Ian whatever like, and we do this 866 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: every single day. Don't just do something because I said it, 867 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, I'm not responsible 868 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: for your family. You are right, so you could, but 869 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: you could take information, but ultimately it's up to you 870 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 1: to actually do the research. And then make an educated 871 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,240 Speaker 1: decision for yourself. But I feel like cryptocurrency is something 872 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: that is definitely here, but just be careful. I mean, 873 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 1: you have the major cryptos like you know, Ethereum and Pitcoin, 874 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: then you got you know a few that's coming up, 875 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: like Salana. But you know, once again, people instead of 876 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: trying to invest in those, they'll go for like the 877 00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: one that nobody heard of that's zero zero zero point 878 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: eight since because they're like, all, if it goes to 879 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 1: a dollar, made it, I made everything. But nine times 880 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 1: out of ten it's gonna go to zero, it's not 881 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: gonna be worthless anymore. And I'm only speaking from personal 882 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: experience twenty seventeen when I first started invested in crypto, 883 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of those cryptos that I invested in, 884 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: they're not worth anything anymore. So you everybody, nobody's perfect. 885 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 1: You learn, and as you learn, then you can speak 886 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: from real life experiences, because at a certain point, we 887 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: all will get greedy, Like we'll all say like, damn, 888 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,919 Speaker 1: this is tempting, let me roll the dice. But nine 889 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,760 Speaker 1: times out of ten, whenever you do that, and whenever 890 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: you try to do something to just make money quickly, 891 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: nine times out of ten, you're gonna lose it just 892 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,720 Speaker 1: as quick. And as far as that, we're actually telling you, like, listen, 893 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: we did this, We've lost money. We're telling you so 894 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: you don't make the same mistake. But when people are 895 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: in survival mode, they'll take risky chances, right, and the 896 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: key worriors, we're saying invest right. So you know, when 897 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: we talk about invest it's more than three days, it's 898 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: more than a month. I'm talking long term. So we 899 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: saw a crypto, we saw a bitcoin go up to 900 00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: sixty thousand. We've seen it pull back to twenty thousand. 901 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 1: They just had a servey. They said it's probably go 902 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: to ten before it goes up to thirty. And so 903 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: we know that, all right, we're here for the long term. 904 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,359 Speaker 1: We're not trading on the daily basis because it's such 905 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 1: a viletow asset and people are not even skilled traders. 906 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: They're just going off a speculation. And so hey went 907 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 1: to thirty. Oh wait, I gotta get it before it 908 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: gets thirty five. We do that, You're gonna lose money? 909 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: Are you guys buying bigcoin? Now? Personally, if if it 910 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: got to get a little lower, but if it gets 911 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: to that ten thousand. Yeah, definitely, I'm all's lowed the 912 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: boat shout out to the end. Same rules apply for 913 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: the stock market too. Rights the same principle. It's the 914 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: same principle we said about real estate, the same thing 915 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: we said about the stock market, the same thing about crypto. 916 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:39,280 Speaker 1: When people are fearful, great, get greedy. When people are greedy, 917 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: be fearful, right, And this tool so like we even 918 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: talk to people like listen, you can go to the 919 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: CNN dot com that got the fair and Greed Index. 920 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: It'll tell you, like what the overhall synopsis of investing community, 921 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: and they'll they'll show you, like if it's zero to 922 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: twenty people in fair, all right, let me go look 923 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,280 Speaker 1: at some investment opportunities. When I see it at sixty 924 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: nine to eighty nine, I'm like, all right, well I 925 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: might need to coming out of some of these positions. 926 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: We're about to have a pullback. But then also when 927 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: things don't you can use your common sense a lot. 928 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: When things don't make sense, that's when you start to realize. 929 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: Like it's like when you start to see, you know, 930 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: doge coin just going every single day, it's just going 931 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,720 Speaker 1: up just because Elon must tweets it like that starts 932 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: to not make sense, right when you start to see 933 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 1: even Tesla stock just you know, go up eight and 934 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 1: one year. Yeah, there's a lot of Tesla's on the road, 935 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 1: But what is Tesla really that strong? Probably not right, 936 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's kind of like common sense, 937 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: even real estate. When you start seeing people paying one 938 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars over asking, that starts to not make 939 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: sense after a while, right, And it's like that's when 940 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 1: it starts to get a little scary because it's like 941 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 1: that's not sustainable. I agree, I agree. And then what 942 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 1: I tell I tell our people all the time is 943 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 1: don't be afraid to let it go. Like I told 944 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: Matt all the time, like I will sell anything with 945 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: my kids and my wife because time everything would up 946 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,320 Speaker 1: in price, whether it was caused, whether it was watches, 947 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 1: whether it's bags, whether with shoes, whether it was sneakers, 948 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: whether it's belts, whatever you had, tangible shot up in price. 949 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: And I got rid of all of it, Like you know, 950 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter to me because it's all things, and 951 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:11,879 Speaker 1: if I could make money off of it, that's the goal. 952 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,320 Speaker 1: I got rid of cars, like I told you everything 953 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: had to go, and sometimes be like I don't want to, 954 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: like I told everybody during the pandemic, give it all. 955 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 1: Those sneakers can't wear them anyway. They're going to shooting 956 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 1: foot prices that we've never seen before. Chanel bagsman up. 957 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: Right after we left last I get a text message, 958 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 1: but I'm like, hey, I'm invested as a Channel Bag. 959 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 1: I'm like okay, And then I read the article. I'm like, yeah, 960 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 1: they appreciated by like seven percent. I'm like, oh word. 961 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: And then Christmas Cars and I was like, oh, you 962 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 1: know that Channel Bag. I'm like, say, it's a good investment. 963 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 1: So good investment to be if you're willing to sell it, 964 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 1: if you want to sell yeah. So I mean it's 965 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,920 Speaker 1: the truth though, like those luxury goods have appreciated it. 966 00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,879 Speaker 1: They only let you buy one Channel Bag a month 967 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: now too. Only the hardship of the reason why when 968 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: they say that, I didn't get it a woman personal 969 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: shop now because too many people are reselling them. So 970 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 1: what happens is people are going in and buying several 971 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,399 Speaker 1: bags and then they're reselling that. Man. Chanell doesn't want 972 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: you to do that, so now they have your name 973 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: like in the system. If you buy a bag, they 974 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: won't let you buy another one. If they see you 975 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: buy too many things, they won't sell them to you 976 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: because they feel like you're reselling them and making a 977 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: profit and they don't want that. I'm putting your mother's name, 978 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,319 Speaker 1: put in your father's name, your uncle's name, cousins, but 979 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 1: it really is talking about crypto. That's what NFTs is 980 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 1: going to change the game. And don't believe it, but 981 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 1: that's what NFT is gonna change the game. Because imagine 982 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: if Chanelle all those bags with NFTs, right, So, then 983 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 1: they don't really care about the sale because they get 984 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 1: commissions on the resell So like if their resale was 985 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 1: thirty percent commission every single time it gets resold. So 986 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: now look how much more money that would bring to 987 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: the company Nike, all of those Nikes that's selling for 988 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 1: like one hundred and fifty retail than they selling for 989 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,439 Speaker 1: like eight hundred dollars in stock. X Imagine if Nike 990 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 1: had a fifty percent commission on because that's what you 991 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 1: could do with NFT, right, So now every single time 992 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 1: it gets sold, Nike's gonna just keep making more they're 993 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,439 Speaker 1: gonna encourage the resellers because now it's just they're gonna 994 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: make more money from the resellers than they actually gonna 995 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 1: make from just putting it in stores. And they get 996 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,919 Speaker 1: and they get the ability to authenticate it, right, because 997 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 1: that was one of the issues with soccer extent. Hey 998 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,359 Speaker 1: these ain't really they're not real. But now the NFT, 999 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 1: actually you can authenticate the sneaker, which actually makes it 1000 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,919 Speaker 1: more of a rare commodity, right because it's like, hey, 1001 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: there's only two thousand of them, so that the price 1002 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 1: goes up on it automatically because it's a rarity, and 1003 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: then the resale price goes up even further, so there's 1004 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: more money to be made. So be on that. That's 1005 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: one of those technologies that we're gonna definitely see. Like 1006 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: so when ross the last thing about the NFTs, a 1007 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 1: lot of times who pay attention to the wrong things. 1008 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: Now go ahead, yeah, there's this own one right now. 1009 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:16,120 Speaker 1: So like people saying like like the monkeys and the artwork, 1010 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,800 Speaker 1: and they thinking like there has no value n yeah, yeah, 1011 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 1: but that's only part of it. The technology is what 1012 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 1: you should be focused on. The blockchain technology and what 1013 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 1: we just talked about as far as how to authenticate 1014 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: things and how to have commissions on things. Take away 1015 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 1: the bananas and the apes and all of that, like, 1016 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: that's probably a fat that's not probably gonna be here. 1017 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: The technology can't be denied and the technology is gonna 1018 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 1: end up changing the world. Yeah. The problem with the 1019 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: NFTs people when they first started talking about it, they 1020 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,440 Speaker 1: talked about it like art that appreciates with value, and 1021 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 1: I think that's that's that was the mistake was in 1022 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 1: the messaging. I think, yeah, now you're right, you're right, 1023 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: Well invest first, give them the date where they could 1024 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 1: get tickets, and you guys for joining us.
