Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

Speaker 3: You said something I was interested. You said that he
Speaker 3: told you you had more cash than somebody that was
Speaker 3: worth ten million dollars. Yeah, I want to talk about that,
Speaker 3: But first, what did you invest in like the s
Speaker 3: and P five hundred said to invest in Stave.
Speaker 4: Safety invested in like a lot of things alongside him,
Speaker 4: like I don't know who say yeah, like whoop, phase clan.
Speaker 3: So you just thought it. You just went straight to
Speaker 3: yeah investing in company like products, bigcoin. I invested in
Speaker 3: big cooin to get the stock market. You just went
Speaker 3: straight to the big.
Speaker 4: Straight to invest in At the time, I think I
Speaker 4: invested in bigcoin like six grand like uh, a bio company,
Speaker 4: like just a bunch of stuff spread out.
Speaker 3: Like So this is like this is like one of
Speaker 3: these weird movies. You meet a random white guy and
Speaker 3: meets he takes your watch. Three days later, he invites
Speaker 3: you to his penthouse in manhat. You open the door,
Speaker 3: it's like the Batman chamber. And then he looked at
Speaker 3: your portfolio and he's like, this isn't what you should
Speaker 3: be doing. You should be investing. And then he tells
Speaker 3: you to invent and phase clan Bitcoin. All of these
Speaker 3: just all kinds of just random things that just skyhout
Speaker 3: out to whoop.
Speaker 5: You're like, this is like what Eddie Murphy could have
Speaker 5: been in trading places.
Speaker 6: That the Blessing of Day because Mike is like Mike
Speaker 6: is you know, you know, but Dave kind of like
Speaker 6: they both keep me kind of like Mike is like
Speaker 6: and David's like, no, come back down here real quick.
Speaker 6: But Dave is also like a super risk taker, so
Speaker 6: he I feel like Dave balances out me and Mike,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, and like he's greater investing.
Speaker 3: He'll tell his story.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So like.
Speaker 2: My mind set on the investing.
Speaker 3: Just kept growing, growing and growing and growing.
Speaker 4: But the one thing I learned from both of them
Speaker 4: is just take a fucking risk and don't be scared
Speaker 4: and don't.
Speaker 2: Think about the risks.
Speaker 3: After how much ward comes back? How much of that
Speaker 3: money did you invest?
Speaker 2: I think maybe all of one point too off the tape.
Speaker 3: Do you have one point two million dollars to your
Speaker 3: name right now?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 3: At that moment, Yeah, you had that to your name.
Speaker 3: He comes and says, and a watch and to watch.
Speaker 3: He comes to and he says, invest you should, and
Speaker 3: you invest every single thing.
Speaker 2: You have everything.
Speaker 3: That's how I always.
Speaker 7: Listen because he mel was lucky enough or smart enough
Speaker 7: to have a good income, so he was making money
Speaker 7: for you.
Speaker 3: It was making making money. I knew if I knew
Speaker 3: all that money, would you make.
Speaker 7: It back in a year?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 7: He wasn't burning furniture like he was.
Speaker 3: Gonna have to sell. Yeah, So Mike, you said, ten
Speaker 3: guys with ten million don't have that much money in cash.
Speaker 3: How much money should How much money should a person
Speaker 3: have in cash?
Speaker 7: Again, so much depends on how old you are, what
Speaker 7: your lifestyle is, and what your income is. Right, So
Speaker 7: if you have no income, like you retire, you better
Speaker 7: have a bunch of cash because you gotta pay your rent,
Speaker 7: you gotta pay a car bill, you gotta have it
Speaker 7: incidental expenses. But if you know you're making one hundred
Speaker 7: thousand a month, right, you pretty much can cover anything
Speaker 7: you need to deal with. So you can you can
Speaker 7: really run your investment portfolio with low cash and high
Speaker 7: risk and so so much against your a your personal
Speaker 7: risk tolerance and your opportunity set. What I realized and
Speaker 7: one of the things that I wanted to kind of
Speaker 7: experiment with in some ways. I mean, it wasn't a
Speaker 7: mental experiment. But there's not a ton of black wealth, period, right,
Speaker 7: thirteen percent of the population, one and a half percent
Speaker 7: of the wealth in this country. Until that changes, our
Speaker 7: country's kind of broken. And one of the ways you
Speaker 7: create wealth is network, right, Melissa stunningly good networker. You
Speaker 7: put him in any room and everyone likes him. I know.
Speaker 7: It's this big smile or dopey face. I don't know.
Speaker 7: And so you know, he went to the milking conference.
Speaker 7: Next thing you know, he's going to Saudi your Abia.
Speaker 7: He's in the Mid East, and you know he's friends
Speaker 7: with everybody he met you guys, right, So that ability network, Well,
Speaker 7: if you grow up in a bad zip code, you're
Speaker 7: networking with you know, people that are aren't crazy and
Speaker 7: a lot of wealth. You put them in a room
Speaker 7: with wealth creators. He's going to network and get opportunities.
Speaker 7: And so now he's bringing more opportunities to Dave and
Speaker 7: either we're bringing to him. And so a little bit
Speaker 7: as guidance, a little bit is just introducing people to
Speaker 7: the networks of money. Right, how do you raise cap earners?
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 8: You ever walk into a small business and everything just
Speaker 8: works like the checkout is fast, the re seats are digital,
Speaker 8: tipping is a breeze and you're out the door before

Speaker 7: Role how do you find ideas? How do you use
Speaker 7: your political connections to get stuff done? All of that
Speaker 7: process that lots of people that don't grow up with
Speaker 7: that never have access to. And that's a little bit
Speaker 7: the idea of the podcast.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we got your story. Yeah, we got my story, Dave,
Speaker 5: we got we got to get your story. So I
Speaker 5: know you said Columbia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but your background is in developing.
Speaker 5: Real estate, right primarily. Yeah, So so explain to the
Speaker 5: people how how you've come to prowess at this level.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've done it. So I was.
Speaker 9: I went to Columbia. I was a wrestler there. That
Speaker 9: was a big part of my life. I went to
Speaker 9: law school afterwards, to Georgetown and actually passed the bar
Speaker 9: in New York, New Jersey, and practiced law for about
Speaker 9: three years in New York, and you know, learned I
Speaker 9: had to from that. It was I think it was
Speaker 9: a really good base for understanding contracts, how to communicate
Speaker 9: clearly and things like that. And from that went with
Speaker 9: my brother into real estate in the let's say like
Speaker 9: early mid nineties. My father had done development of affordable
Speaker 9: housing kind of real estate, so I was I was schooled.
Speaker 7: I had a little bit of.
Speaker 9: Background in it, and you know, understood some things and
Speaker 9: and that was a really good time to start investing
Speaker 9: in real estate back that was one of those times
Speaker 9: like we're almost in now. So we started with apartments
Speaker 9: in North Jersey, moved from there to the city. We
Speaker 9: got into hotels in say early two thousands. W Standard
Speaker 9: children Firehouse came after that. And really at that point
Speaker 9: in time, as I started broadening my investments, started looking
Speaker 9: into technology, other food and beverage and hospitality platforms, biotech
Speaker 9: at this point in time, you know, mushrooms, crypto and
Speaker 9: so like. In a sense, I've been entrepreneurial the whole time.
Speaker 9: And if really, I know you guys. You guys had
Speaker 9: had Steve Harvey on once and I watched the thing
Speaker 9: and he had like these five rules, and I thought
Speaker 9: they were pretty interesting, right, I think you had said
Speaker 9: something about it and it was dream big, have imagination, gratitude, right,
Speaker 9: don't fear, you know, control your fear, and then have
Speaker 9: faith that's going to work. Out, and I think that's
Speaker 9: really what like entrepreneurism is about. And that's really how
Speaker 9: I've been living my life in a sense, in a
Speaker 9: business sense of like pushing into things even when I
Speaker 9: was uncomfortable using you know, I didn't use exactly those
Speaker 9: five mantras, but but essentially effectively doing that. And so
Speaker 9: that's what really allowed me to push in and just
Speaker 9: bring so many opportunities.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 9: So when I got involved with, for instance, Catch, with
Speaker 9: Mark and you and you know, one of their kind
Speaker 9: of like founding investors in that, it was really because
Speaker 9: I had put them in an opportunity earlier in the
Speaker 9: w hotel before they had started. And so it's that
Speaker 9: kind of thing that's always served me well in life.
Speaker 9: You know, same thing with Mel and uh, you know
Speaker 9: many people Mike and I and we just kind of
Speaker 9: create this network and and so it's I guess it's
Speaker 9: it's real estate would be a big portion of what
Speaker 9: for sure, what I do and what I focus on,
Speaker 9: but I do have a bunch of other venture investments.
Speaker 7: That I also pursue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to personally thank you for Catch.
Speaker 5: It's my it's my favorite restaurant.
Speaker 2: It's my kid's favorite. I heard you say that.
Speaker 3: I like.
Speaker 5: When I left there today, I said, we want to
Speaker 5: do today? She said, can we go to Catch? I
Speaker 5: was like interested enough, I might know a guy.
Speaker 3: Get your table.
Speaker 9: Well that's that's all. That's all. Kudos and gratitude to
Speaker 9: Eugene Ram and Mark Burnbaum because it was really their
Speaker 9: entire branchild in execution.
Speaker 7: But I was happy to be a part of it.
Speaker 3: So this is how Larry gets hooked up with Catch.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I hooked him up with Catch.
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, because when the first time I met Larry,
Speaker 9: excuse me, we started talking, he started talking about restaurants,
Speaker 9: and I just happened to drop that name, and he.
Speaker 7: Was like, oh, that's my favorite restaurant, you know. And
Speaker 7: then I was like, oh, I can happened.
Speaker 9: And then about a month and a half, two months later,
Speaker 9: we had dinner at Mike's house and that's where that started.
