And for me, 89 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 3: that reset things and I took school a lot more 90 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: serious than I did in high school. When I was 91 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 3: in college, and that opened some doors. Being a captain 92 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: of the team, I was able to go to some 93 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 3: dinners to represent the team, and being there I would 94 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: meet people and they would get me business cards from 95 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 3: different aspects, right, architecture and accounting and law, And through 96 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 3: all of that, I ended up going to a couple 97 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 3: of different scholarship dinners and a gentleman who worked on 98 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 3: Wall Street with ex that's what a player goes, Hey, 99 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 3: you remind me of myself at your age.

But are 102 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 3: you interested in finance? It's very similar to sports. And 103 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 3: I go, yeah, it's cool. You know, I'm twenty one, 104 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 3: sounds good looking, dressed nice, and I was a marketing major. 105 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: I was a business major, you know, so financearching on 106 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: my radar as a whole, but business and everything else 107 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: was so it kind of stuff together. He said, listen, 108 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: I want you to call me every day for a 109 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 3: month at five in the morning, not five oh one, 110 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 3: not four fifty nine five on the dot. So I 111 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 3: called him every day for a month at five in 112 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 3: the morning, and I got down on the Wall Street 113 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: and I got an internship, and I was able to 114 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 3: work and really get a feel for the industry and 115 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 3: the business and fell in love with it. And it's 116 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 3: very similar to Will Smith puit of happiness because at 117 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 3: that time, this is rec real stuff. At that time, 118 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 3: I had one suit, I had a Sean John shirt 119 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 3: with the French cuffs. I didn't know how to tie tie, 120 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: and I didn't have a shave up. Looked like you're 121 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: having this. I didn't belong. But my basketball competitiveness did 122 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: not allow me to quit or not worked my potential 123 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 3: and that opened a lot of doors and kind of 124 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 3: led me to where I am here today and it's 125 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: been a blessing. 126 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 5: No, that's that's a dope story because when you said 127 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 5: you had to call every day for five o'clock in 128 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 5: the morning, first of all, I'm not even up the 129 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 5: five o'clock nine people. But you know, that just shows 130 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 5: And I'm pretty sure that the reason why that gentleman 131 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 5: told you to do that is, you know, people just 132 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 5: test you sometimes, right and they see like, okay, how 133 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 5: serious are you want it? And people always say like 134 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 5: I want to do that. It's like when Derek, we 135 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 5: had Derek episode eleven, that was a great episodef They 136 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 5: might an't check it out, but he pretty much said 137 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 5: that people want to get rich with contingencies. They don't 138 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 5: really want to put the work in. Right, it sounds 139 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 5: good to start a business or to be successful, but 140 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 5: they're lazy. They don't want to they don't want to 141 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 5: put the work in. 142 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 6: That's what I was telling I was telling C, like, 143 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 6: this is the premise for earn your leisure, Like all 144 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 6: the hard work that you've put in, those things that 145 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 6: they've tested you to do, that sweat equity that no 146 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 6: one sees, right, they just see the end result. 147 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 3: But you've earned what you've done, you know what I mean. 148 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: So that's dope. 149 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 5: You gotta work, you gotta work. So all right, So 150 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 5: Earner LIS is kind of like the college course every week. 151 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 5: So this week is gonna be about stocks, and we're 152 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 5: gonna break it into three segments and we're gonna do 153 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 5: like a beginner's one on one. Then we're gonna do 154 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 5: more advanced, and then we'll just take it to the 155 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 5: next level on the third chapter. So I'll start the 156 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 5: conversation if we're talking about stocks. This is how I 157 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 5: kind of explain stocks when I teach it to my students. 158 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 5: That it's kind of like a giant pizza pot, right, 159 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 5: with like a million different slices, and then each slice 160 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 5: represents a share of a company, right. And then if 161 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 5: you buy one slice of Nike, now you're part owner 162 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 5: of Nike. 163 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: Right. 164 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 5: And then obviously the more slices that you buy in 165 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 5: the pie, you have a larger ownership of that pie. 166 00:07:59,320 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: Right. 167 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 5: But all publicly traded companies, that's on you know, the 168 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 5: stock market, anybody can become an owner, and by buying ownership, 169 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 5: whether it's in Snapchat or Facebook or Google, now you're 170 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 5: a part owner of that company. And if the company 171 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 5: does well, then the stock price goes up. If it 172 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 5: doesn't do well, stock price goes down. And that's kind 173 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 5: of like a real easy way to understand it. But 174 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 5: I think that's kind of my take on it. 175 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 3: I think that's like the baseline premise of it, like right, 176 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 3: like it's we want to own shares, like we know 177 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 3: what shares are, then we want to delve into Okay, 178 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 3: what are we owning? Why are we owning? Right? We 179 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 3: got the how? Right? We can go to different places 180 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 3: be an e trade and share a builder and schwab. 181 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 5: And can we just talk about that because a lot 182 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 5: people might not know. I'm glad you brought that up 183 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 5: because I get that question sometimes too, Like how do 184 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 5: you buy stock. So it's relatively easy to do now, right, 185 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 5: Like they have apps like Robinhood, like you said, Scotch Trade, 186 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 5: e Trade, stuff like that. We can just go online 187 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 5: and create a using ain't password and you know, the 188 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 5: link it to your bank account and you can just 189 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 5: buy stock. That part is relatively easy to do. But 190 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 5: the next part is what people stumble because the thing 191 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 5: that I think people have problems with stock is that, Okay, 192 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 5: they know how to do it, but what stock do 193 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 5: I buy? Right? It's kind of like just throwing darts 194 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 5: at the board blind. So what you end up just 195 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 5: randomly picking Netflix hoping it goes up right. So, like 196 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 5: you you have something interested in, you said to us, 197 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 5: as far as like when looking at stock, it's good 198 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 5: to know, like what you're interested in? Can you just 199 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 5: talk about that? 200 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing for me to help me 201 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 3: learn was picking areas of interest because the knowledge sticks. Right. 202 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 3: We all had classes in school that we didn't like, 203 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: Like we didn't like I like earth science and I 204 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 3: really like science. Like it didn't stick even though like 205 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 3: you know, you pass the class, get a bad or whatever, 206 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 3: you ain't get in the class, right, but the information 207 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 3: didn't stick. With me because it wasn't an interesting topic 208 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 3: and you said to get yeah, you kind of want 209 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 3: to get through it in this forum, right. I want 210 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 3: to pick something that I'm interested in because when I 211 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 3: read it, I'm going to retain it. I'm gonna hold 212 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 3: on to it. I'm gonna build on top of it. 213 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 3: So you're kind of an architect, right, I say. My 214 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 3: model for myself every day is that I'm the architect 215 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 3: of my legacy, right, and every day I'm putting a 216 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 3: brick down from my legacy because you don't get to 217 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: tell people to say you're not here. So the same 218 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 3: thing goes forward every other place of life, where it's like, 219 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: all right, I'm the architect of my portfolio. I'm the 220 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 3: architect of my knowledge base. I'm the architect of whatever 221 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: is I'm doing. I'm building and it's never gonna be finished. Right, 222 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: It's like a skyscraper. You're just gonna keep on building 223 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 3: on top of building. Your interest is what's gonna lead 224 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 3: you to adding more bricks. Because if you're interested in tech, 225 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: well somehow you'll probably end up in media, right, And 226 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 3: if you're interested in that, you might end up in 227 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 3: telecom and all so on, and so forth right, and 228 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you have this wide knowledge base 229 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 3: because you started here, but your interests help you build 230 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 3: more bricks to kind of build your mental skyscraper, if 231 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 3: that makes sense. So I always said it start there 232 00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: because you want to own this actual stuff, right, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google, 233 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 3: We want the sexy names. It'll go to your friends 234 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 3: and say, hey, yeah, you know I owned Facebook, right 235 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 3: and sexy everybody wants to own that. But the most 236 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: important thing is starting off with interest so that you 237 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 3: can build a knowledge base and you can start to 238 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: build your own mental skyscraper that's going to hopefully take 239 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 3: you places financially and mentally where you're growing in both spaces. 240 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 5: So that's like Warren Buffett like his approaches. He invests 241 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 5: in companies that he understands, right. So I always tell kids, 242 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 5: like once again in the class, like okay, what do 243 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 5: you have on your feet? Everybody that has Nike or Adidas, right, 244 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 5: So it's like, Okay, you understand the brand because you 245 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 5: spend all your money on it, right, So it's not 246 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 5: like it's not foreign to like, you don't have to 247 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 5: be a rocket scientist to figure out Okay, Kanye just 248 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 5: did a deal with Adidas, or Beyonce just did a 249 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 5: deal with a didas Adidas is hot right now, or 250 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 5: Nike Lebron signed he got Jordan's coming out. So these 251 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 5: are things that we understand and we don't have to 252 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 5: be a stock market analyst to know that I'm already 253 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 5: investing money in these companies by buying Yeah, why not 254 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 5: in the actual company in the. 255 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 6: Sense you're you're making the trend, right, So there's a 256 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 6: reason why that company would up, whether it be like 257 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 6: the iPhone, right it would raise applestock, or if Nike's 258 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 6: putting out a new product or do you just put 259 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 6: out a new product. 260 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 3: We are the trend makers, you know what I mean? So, 261 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 3: like that was one. That's one of the key things 262 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: we say. 263 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 6: So after we tell them, hey, this is what a 264 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 6: share is, the next thing is like investing put money 265 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 6: in what you already are invested in. 266 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 3: So if it's arising as your phone. 267 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 6: Company, then maybe you should have stock in that, or 268 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 6: if it's Sprint whoever it is, right investing yourself. 269 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the biggest thing, right, Like we want 270 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 3: to understand what we invest in. Like, no one likes 271 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 3: an investment where you kind of don't understand what's going on, 272 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: and it's kind of like gambling. Now it's not an investment. 273 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 3: Now you're just gambling. And for all that you can 274 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 3: go put their money on black and A see. I 275 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: think I hope for the best. But when look at 276 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 3: these companies, it's very key to understand why a company 277 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 3: goes up or why a company goes down. The stock 278 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: market is very similar to fashion. Right, I'm willing to 279 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: pay the extra twenty dollars for Nike as opposed to 280 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 3: Undam or why because it's Nike is a little bit cooler, right, 281 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: And that's the thing you're paying for. I call it 282 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 3: social equity. What I have on and what I'm dressed in. 283 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 3: I have on Nike, Adidas, I have on Gucci, I 284 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 3: have on Product. There's a reason why those items are 285 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 3: priced in those spaces. They know people are buying, right, 286 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 3: and we all know it's the same factory that makes 287 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 3: some and they just put a tag on on. But 288 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 3: you're willing to spend one hundred dollars more for this tag, 289 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: right than the other tag because you want the social 290 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 3: equity of somebody saying, okay, he looks good, Okay, I 291 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 3: see him, and that's what you're buying. So you have 292 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 3: to also know why this company's going up, why it's 293 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 3: going down. And that goes back to interest, right, sweat equity. 294 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 3: I need to now read You said. 295 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 5: That you have to learn how to read and know 296 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 5: the interest. Okay, you're interested in one thing, but now 297 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 5: how do you actually examine to see if this is 298 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 5: actually worth buying or not? 299 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 3: Right? 300 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 5: So you can read, but like what do you read? 301 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 5: How do you know if something is actually worth flying 302 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 5: or not? 303 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 3: Social equity the social It's kind of a term I 304 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 3: coined myself because I always look shopping. Yeah, that's not sure? 305 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 3: Is it something I look like go shopping? Or just 306 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 3: in life? Right? What kind of car you drive? And 307 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 3: what kind of house do you live in? What town 308 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 3: do you live in? What do you have in your house? 309 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 3: People are very much into the social aspect, right, Like 310 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: social media, you don't even really see the highlights. So 311 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 3: it's like ESPN Top ten over again, right, No one 312 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 3: ever kind of sees the grind and the failure and 313 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 3: the ups and the downs and the ebbs and the flows. Right, 314 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: we just see somebody pop up and they have all 315 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 3: this stuff. How'd you get it right, but we don't 316 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 3: care what the social equity says. I want that now, 317 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 3: but you don't understand what that person went through to 318 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 3: get or how they got, or they could be lying 319 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 3: whatever it is. The idea is that people want to 320 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 3: feel accepted. No one ever wants to be the dumbest 321 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 3: person in the room. People are k with being the 322 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 3: second dumbest person in the room because he's like, well 323 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 3: you dumb, or so you know what, I with him 324 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 3: being dumb. I'm not the numbest person in the room, right, 325 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 3: But no one ever thinks past that. And so the 326 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 3: idea is to get people to critically think. Because a 327 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 3: lot of the things that we do habitually on a 328 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 3: day to day basis, these are our habits, right. We 329 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 3: don't ask any questions. Your mom says, when you grow up, 330 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: brush your teeth in the morning, why not the afternoon. 331 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 3: We were never not programming the question. Things are program 332 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 3: just to accept them the way they are. That's not 333 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 3: that stock market works. A stock could be a goodbye, 334 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 3: and it could be going down right for other reasons 335 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 3: that have nothing to do with why you think it 336 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 3: should go down or why I think it should go down. 337 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 5: So that's the part that I'm getting at. So what 338 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 5: could make it, you know, broad range? What can make 339 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 5: a stock go up? What can make a stock go down? 340 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 5: Other than what's obvious to the naked. 341 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 3: Eye or something like that. No, it's just perceptional. Like 342 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 3: think about the market, right, This is all a gazi. Right, 343 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 3: So as a CEO will get certain bonuses if a 344 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 3: stock has certain peaks, right, this is okay, you're the 345 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 3: CEO of ABC company, and they'll say you listen, if 346 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 3: you can get the shares up to thirty dollars a 347 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 3: share and hold it around this range for four months, 348 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 3: we'll give you ten million dollars and then so on 349 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 3: and so forth with getting the share price up. But 350 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 3: it's all kind of like a figazzi. Why is it 351 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 3: that price? Why is up? Wise? Down? Right? Forgets supply 352 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 3: and demand and volume. A lot of it's just perception 353 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 3: of the market. It's what the market perceives, what big 354 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: money perceives, what somebody thinks, right, we get information. Now, 355 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 3: if you own three shares at Apple and you like 356 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 3: their third quarter earnings call, he owns one hundred million 357 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 3: dollars Apple and he hates it. Who has more effect 358 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 3: on how the stock goes, he does because he has 359 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: more equity in the stock, so he has more say 360 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 3: so in terms of how it moves. Even though you 361 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 3: might be right with your three shares, he might be 362 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: rolling in his perception right. So all this stuff is 363 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 3: perception based, and that's why the sweat equity of actually 364 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 3: reading and engal from yourself the subject matter of interest 365 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 3: is going to help you understand the company. And if 366 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 3: you understand Apple, it's going to be easy to understand Google, 367 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 3: It's going to be easier to understand Amazon. It's going 368 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 3: to be easier to understand any other kind of tech 369 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 3: brand because the model of how they distribute their products, 370 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 3: their ideas, and their messages they're not like the same same, 371 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 3: but they're really similar, and it's going to help you 372 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 3: pick up on ideas. Facebook used and tactic called a 373 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 3: little bighorn right, and they went into Texas. They went 374 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 3: to University of Texas and said, hey, we want to 375 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 3: give y'alls Facebook. The University of Texas said not, We're 376 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 3: University of Texas. We're good. So they went to Texas 377 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 3: A and M Texas State, SMU every school in Texas 378 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: around and gave them Facebook to the point where students 379 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 3: at Texas said, Yo, why we have Facebook? And the 380 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 3: Texas was just forced to do business with Facebook. That 381 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 3: happens in business all the time, Right, It's something we 382 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 3: don't pay attention to. But these triggers and levers to happen. 383 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 3: You'll start to notice as you read. And I said, 384 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 3: you build the brick, right, you're building when you get 385 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 3: to the second floor, you go, I get that. Now 386 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 3: I can now read tea leaves. I've seen this coming, right, 387 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 3: I see what possibly can happen. I don't know what's 388 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 3: going to happen, but I can have an idea based 389 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 3: on how well I know it. You play ball, if 390 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 3: I come down, I go in and out. I'm either 391 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 3: gonna cross or I'm gonna go straight. So as a defender, 392 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 3: you know what I'm gonna do, or have an idea 393 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 3: so you can react a little faster. Right, it's the 394 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 3: same thing that we use every day. 395 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 6: I'm gonna go backwards just a little bit because you 396 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 6: said reading and that's important. On the last episode, on 397 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 6: episode fourteen, we talked about the importance of reading and 398 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 6: a lot of times we get discounted because we're not reading. 399 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 3: The catcher and the Rye. 400 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 6: Right, what publications should we be reading if we're trying 401 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 6: to invest in the South market? 402 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 3: I think the Wall Street Journal is good to read. 403 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 3: Barns is a little bit of advanced, but Barons is 404 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 3: a good place to start to read. I think Financial 405 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 3: Time is a good place to read. I think the economists, 406 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 3: even though it's not solely finance stock base, it gives 407 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 3: you a premise of outside the scope of how we think. 408 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,479 Speaker 3: Because we think domestically, right, we think about what affects 409 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 3: America and when you're dealing with stocks and companies, these 410 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 3: are global companies, right, So how does Europe affect this company? 411 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 3: How does China affect this company? How does India affect 412 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 3: this company? We don't think like that. We think, okay, 413 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 3: well you have a Verizon service, so you figure I'm 414 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 3: going to invest my money in Verizon, right, because but 415 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 3: Verizon's a global brand. So what's going on in Australia? 416 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 3: What's going on here? When you look at the country 417 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 3: like India, they have a billion people? Right? How many 418 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 3: people on Indy do you think have a cell phone? 419 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say. 420 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 5: Fifty million, yeah, something small enough, ten. 421 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 3: Million, one hundred, like eight million, hundred and nine million 422 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 3: people and a billion. So it's an arms race between 423 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 3: Walmart and Apple. The boyst country gets to India because 424 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 3: they're building the middle class. Feel like the same thing's 425 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 3: happening in China. 426 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 6: I we spoke off the game about China Mobile and 427 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 6: it was like, they're trying to build so much infrastructure 428 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 6: because they almost have two billion people. 429 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 3: Right, But it's a race to the middle class. Right. 430 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 3: And but when you look at the company on a 431 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 3: broad scale, and I look at it like a company 432 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 3: and I have like Netflix, and I said, okay, do 433 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 3: really well. They have a lot of subscribers. We understand 434 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 3: how it works, but they haven't really touched Europe or 435 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 3: other countries, so there's growth there. That's what gets you interested, right, 436 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 3: And those are the kind of things when you start 437 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 3: to read about companies you go kind of interested. Now 438 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 3: now I'm interested because I know if they're doing well here, 439 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 3: there's an opportunity here. 440 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 5: Right. 441 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 3: All we want in life is options, the same thing 442 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 3: everywhere else. Right, I want the option to go out 443 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 3: to eat. I want to have options, but I want 444 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 3: to eat here here here, I want to have that 445 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 3: option or I want an option. What kind of calling 446 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 3: jobs I want to out eat, Do I want to bends? 447 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 3: Do I want right? I want that option? That's who 448 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 3: if we work for We work to have options. 449 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 5: Right. 450 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: So the same thing in the market is that understanding. 451 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: These companies now pull levers, and the more you understand 452 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 3: what you're digesting and investing in, the more options and 453 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 3: you'll have. Now it's a slow reward. This thing isn't 454 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 3: a I'm gonna put money in on Monday and be 455 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 3: rich on Wednesday. This is a character choice when you're 456 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 3: talking about starting from scratch, right in terms of billing 457 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 3: your portfolio. So now you might not see the siege 458 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 3: of labor, right. It might go to your kids, right, 459 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: Or it might be something that is a passion project 460 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 3: and you can only fund so much. We have to 461 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 3: be realistic, like everybody doesn't have one hundred thousand thrown 462 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 3: to the market or a million. You start winning thousand here, 463 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 3: one thousand there. So you have to be patient with 464 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 3: it and be patient with your own growth, the same 465 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 3: way that we're patient in life with different things. That's 466 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: gonna lead us into a very interesting story. 467 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 5: Ye all right, So yeah, so now you got the 468 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 5: you know, the groundworks that was a lot. We're going 469 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 5: now we're gonna go into the hot topics of the day. 470 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,719 Speaker 5: All right, So now we're going to go into some 471 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 5: hot topics because everybody's been talking about the stock market 472 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 5: recently for a couple of different companies, lifting Google specifically, 473 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 5: a couple others. 474 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 3: Pinterest is another one, Pinterest. 475 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 5: But everybody's interested in lifting Google, they just well lift 476 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 5: IPO and Uber is about the IPO. Right, So everybody's 477 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 5: been hitting us up, like you, can you talk about Lyft? 478 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 5: Can you talk about what Ibo? Should we buych you? 479 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 5: You're not so First of all, we're not here to 480 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 5: give you stock advice. We're just here to give you 481 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 5: information and then from the information you can, you know, 482 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 5: do whatever you want. Right, so Q all right? The 483 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 5: first question is that IPO. Right, A lot of people 484 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 5: will hear this term, but they're not They don't fully 485 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 5: even understand. 486 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 3: What itself gotcha. So it's an initial public offering. 487 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 6: A lot of times we see the evaluation for a company, Yeah, 488 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 6: and like, is that how the process they get the numbers? 489 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 3: Well, the evaluation can come from a multitude of things. 490 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 3: The valuation. You can look at a company and think 491 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 3: that the company's worth thirty billion. You can look at 492 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 3: a company and thinks the company's worth ten billion. Right. 493 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 3: Everybody has different metrics on what they value stuff. And 494 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 3: again the evaluation is from without looking inside. Right, this 495 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 3: is just on the outside of your house, like the appraisal, right, 496 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 3: So it's appraising you. So the evaluation could be correct, 497 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 3: could not. 498 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 5: Be because I was gonna say, because right now, uber 499 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 5: is possibly they look at a hundred billion. 500 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 3: Somewhere in the realm, they're gonna come up. 501 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 5: With a high ve It might be one of the 502 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 5: higher ones, a hundred let's say, one hundred billion dollars 503 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 5: valuations what they're looking at. And they've never made a profit. No, 504 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 5: So that's another thing, right, lifts never made a profit. 505 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 3: So that part of it is like basically, once you 506 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 3: go an IPO and you haven't made a profit, that 507 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,719 Speaker 3: clock starts ticking. Now you got to make it appeal, right, 508 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 3: and they'll give you some quarters to kind of get 509 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 3: your feet wet stuff together. Right, But eventually, now you're 510 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 3: open to investors and public investors and other institutions and 511 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 3: hedge funds who all have different motives. You might be 512 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: a long term investor, he might be a hedge from 513 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 3: looking to make a quick buck or make him look 514 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 3: to make a power play. Right, And that kind of 515 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 3: gets into the market if you aways want to think 516 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 3: about it, like the ocean, right, you got sharks, and 517 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 3: you have fish, and you have whales, and you have eels, 518 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 3: and you have seals. You have all these different creatures. 519 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 3: They all have different purposes, right, the octopus saying they 520 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 3: all just want to live their life in the ocean. 521 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 3: They want what they want, right. The eel's not worried 522 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 3: about what the shark's doing, and the shark's not worried 523 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 3: about what the coyfish is doing. They're all just living 524 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 3: in the same atmosphere. But they have different purposes. And 525 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 3: that's a stock market when you start to get into 526 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 3: the exchange and all these different investors, right, that's a 527 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 3: deeper dive when you're getting into this IPO market. The 528 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 3: company's doing it because they feel like with the extra cash, 529 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 3: they'll be able to take their company to the next level, 530 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 3: the same way that you might take a home equity 531 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 3: loan out because you feel like you take your house 532 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: to the next level. You'll raise evaluation in your house 533 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 3: by adding the bathroom or adding the kitchen or adding 534 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 3: something to your home, right and eventually going to pay 535 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 3: that money back because that's a debt. Right, they're offering equity, 536 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 3: that's debt. They owe money. Money. They using other people's 537 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 3: money to take themselves to the next level, the same 538 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 3: way as people we take loans and credit cards to 539 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 3: take ourselves to the next level. Companies do. Right, we're 540 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 3: all owned. We're the CEOs of our own companies every day. Right, 541 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 3: So you're balance, youet of what you do on a 542 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 3: daily basis, you're the CEO. You are Rashaw as a 543 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 3: CEO of Rashard Co. So decisions you make on a 544 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 3: daily basis the same way as CEO makes decisions for 545 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 3: his company. So you start to look at it like that, 546 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 3: it all kind of connects together. You know, You're like, okay, 547 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 3: I understand why they would do this now because he's 548 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 3: moving in the best interest the same way that you 549 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 3: would do that, right. 550 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 5: Like so then also all right, but so snapchat, right 551 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 5: can we talk? They still haven't made a profit, okay, 552 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 5: and they say that they might never make a profit, 553 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 5: right yep. So okay, So these companies come into the 554 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 5: stock market like Uber and Lifting never made a profit. 555 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 5: But from from my perspective and the easiest way to explain, 556 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 5: people will still give them a benefit of the doubt 557 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 5: because they believe in the business model anything. One day 558 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 5: they will turn a profit, right, But sometimes they don't 559 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 5: turn a profit, like Snapchat. 560 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 3: So now it comes down to potential. Right, at some 561 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 3: point in time, you get too old to have potential right, 562 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 3: like basketball life, right, Like if I don't get it 563 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 3: right at seventeen years old, it's like, well, you have 564 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 3: your whole life ahead of you, and I don't get 565 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 3: it right at twenty four, where you're still young. I 566 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,479 Speaker 3: don't get it right at twenty six, Hey you kind 567 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 3: of on your last legs. I don't get it right 568 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 3: at thirty five, Like fam, you just didn't figure it out. 569 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 3: That's that's what I say, Right, like a dud, don't 570 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 3: make it thirty. At a certain point in time, it's 571 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 3: the potential is going right. I can't use that as 572 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 3: a as an excuse as to why I'm not accomplishing something. 573 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 3: And so except all these things in the stock marketing 574 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 3: and all these things in life kind of tying together. 575 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: So yeah, on potential, I'm going to invest in this 576 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 3: company because it can be fruitful if I was investing. 577 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 3: That's what the person's thinking. Right, they're saying, Okay, I 578 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 3: get the premise. I understand the business concept. I understand 579 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 3: how they make money, how they plan to make money, 580 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 3: what they're going to do. First part. Second part is 581 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 3: are they going to execute? Right? We understand now, but 582 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: do I believe in the execution? And then if they 583 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 3: don't execute, what's my next move? Everybody never, nobody ever 584 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 3: plans a fail like people always plan for everything to 585 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 3: go right, and that's not how life works. Right when 586 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 3: I was a kid, Okay, I'm gonna get my degree 587 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 3: at twenty two, I've be married at twenty five, make 588 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 3: six figures at twenty six, I'm gonna have a kid 589 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 3: at thirty.

So so I said, this stuff 639 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 3: is all kind of like life based because at the 640 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 3: end of the day, these journeys these companies are on 641 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 3: are independent their own, Like the CEO's job is to 642 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 3: do a certain job with the company and raise capital 643 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 3: or to take the shares to a certain price. And 644 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 3: Adidas in a Nike, though they are competitors, they might 645 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 3: have different you know, operating procedures or different goals of 646 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 3: what they want to do. And that comes down to 647 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 3: like looking actually in the company at what they're doing well, 648 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 3: what they're not doing well, and how their success or 649 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 3: failure basically affects the ecosystem with which they live in, 650 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 3: which is the stock market. For example, foot Locker derives 651 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 3: a lot of the success from Nike, right, Nike's the 652 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 3: big biggest shoe retailer in terms of sneakers. Twenty seventeen, 653 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 3: Nike had a very bad fashion year. They didn't hit 654 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 3: on a lot of different things right, so they had 655 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 3: a down year that took foot Locker stock from like 656 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 3: seventy to thirty bucks to drop like sixty five percent 657 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 3: because they're tied to that.

I need to do 703 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 3: it because I'm grown. I don't need to keep on 704 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 3: doing the same things that I'm comfortable with. Right, But 705 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 3: the comfortability is and the interest. 706 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 6: Just from a teaching standpoint, that comes with endurance, Like reading, 707 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 6: endurance is a thing, right like the first time you 708 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 6: read an article, maybe you do it for five minutes, 709 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 6: and then that'xt time you do it for ten minutes, 710 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 6: and then by you know, a. 711 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 3: Month or six months, now you're reading for an hour. Right. 712 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 3: You got to build that thing up. You gotta train 713 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 3: yourself to do it, all right. 714 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 5: So now, yeah, we gave you some some backgrow on it. 715 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 5: So now we're gonna go into the next level of 716 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 5: how you guys can actually get your foot in the 717 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 5: game and and and start to make some money because 718 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 5: it's one thing to learn about it, but it's another 719 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 5: thing that actually profit from it, all right. Gosh, and 720 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 5: now we gave you some background info on the stock markets, 721 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 5: how stocks work, but now you know it's one thing 722 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 5: as I said before to provide information, it's another thing 723 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 5: that actually use the information. So now we want to 724 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 5: give you some some tools that you can use yourself 725 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 5: as far as you know to get your feet wet 726 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 5: and investing. So all right, we talked about platforms, right, 727 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 5: So there's there's a there's a there's a lot of 728 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 5: different platforms how somebody can invest. Right. One of the 729 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 5: apps is Robinhood, Right, what what's what? What's your favorite? 730 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 5: Like what's your what? 731 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 3: So it depends right like do you want to do? 732 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 3: Do you bank with Chase and then you can do 733 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 3: through JP Morgan Chase if you wanted to do it right? 734 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 3: Do you bank through Bank of America? You do? Marion Lynch. 735 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 3: If you bank through What's far you do? So there's 736 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:52,760 Speaker 3: platforms there. There's Scott Trade, there's e Trade, there's TD, 737 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 3: there's Robinhood, there's Acorn, there are Glutton, your place. 738 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 5: Acorn because somebody asks about Acorn Acorn as you uniqu platform. 739 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 3: So Acorn is the company, if I'm not misinforms a 740 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 3: company that I think action Cusher is a part of 741 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 3: where they take the change when you use it and 742 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 3: they buy shares with your change, and it's a way 743 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 3: to get exposures to the market. Right, So like the 744 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 3: game that we're playing is all about exposure. You don't 745 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 3: know what you don't know, right, So then reading exposure 746 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,959 Speaker 3: these sites exposure. Now you're exposed to all these sites 747 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 3: we're mentioning. Go on there, read their platform, read the offers, 748 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 3: read call them. They have customer service people ask questions, 749 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 3: say hey, if I choose you as opposed to them, 750 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 3: what benefit do I have? Right, That's the thing. We're 751 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 3: in a bubble right now the ideas that get out 752 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 3: that bubble, and so what we want to preach is, yeah, 753 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 3: there are a lot of platforms, and now the onus 754 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 3: is on the person that do due diligence. I don't 755 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 3: know what works best for you because I don't know 756 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 3: your financial circumstances. I don't know where you've bank, I 757 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 3: don't know what you're comfortable with. There are companies that 758 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 3: have customer service scraps you can call before you make 759 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 3: a trade, that will help walking through stuff. They'll help 760 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,280 Speaker 3: find research with you, they have platforms. It's extensive stuff. 761 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 3: It's it's very labor intensive, right. All this stuff is 762 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 3: labor intensive. So now this comes down to how passionate 763 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 3: are you about things? 764 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 5: So redefined pressure? And also I want to let people 765 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 5: know too. A lot of time people have the misconception 766 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,280 Speaker 5: that you have to be wealthy or rich to invest 767 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 5: in stock market, right, which is it's not. 768 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 3: True because the end game. So the difference with how 769 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 3: people think and not everybody things like this, Right, Money 770 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 3: is temporary, It comes and goes ebbs and flows. Knowledge 771 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 3: is what we're mining here, like we're crafting knowledge. Right. 772 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 3: I can't take that from you. I can't go in 773 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 3: your brain and take the knowledge. What makes the knowledge 774 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 3: powerful is that you can build on it or you 775 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 3: can share it, and you can make other people knowledgeable. 776 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 3: And if me and you both happen to be knowledgeable, 777 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 3: well then you have iron and shop and iron, right, 778 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 3: And that's where it gets powerful. And then when I 779 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 3: do have the actual capital to do things significantly, I'm 780 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 3: ready mentally, right. So you can have a million dollars 781 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 3: and not be sufficiently educated to move, and you can 782 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 3: have one thousand dollars and be educated, and all you're 783 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 3: doing is building your knowledge based until that moment comes 784 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 3: where you have that money to make a significant move 785 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 3: for yourself. So the ideas we're preaching exposure, we're preaching knowledge. Right, 786 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 3: we'll get your hands in the dirt. But it comes 787 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 3: down to an individual person. How bad do you want 788 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 3: to learn the market? How bad do you want to 789 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,919 Speaker 3: be a resource for your friends and family? How bad 790 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 3: do you want to see your goals happen. I don't 791 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 3: control that. You don't control that. We're all CEOs our 792 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 3: own companies. So again, a bunch of platforms, right, we 793 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 3: can give you the names, we can list them out. 794 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 3: By the end of the day, you have to do 795 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 3: it's best for you. Because I don't wear a side small, 796 00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 3: so I can't try a side small short. I tell 797 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 3: you if it's not, I'm gonna excel. Same thing for people. 798 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 3: These platforms are good if you have this amount of 799 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 3: money to invest and you're looking for this kind of 800 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 3: customer service. If you don't want any customer service, you 801 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,439 Speaker 3: want to do it yourself, this platform is good if 802 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 3: you want to be able to walk into a big 803 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 3: branch and have a conversation with somebody about different things 804 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,399 Speaker 3: in the face it. Well, this is good for you. 805 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 3: These things are all quite essential to what it is 806 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:26,879 Speaker 3: you're looking for. 807 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 5: Yeah, now, I like what you said. As far as 808 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 5: you can't take the knowledge. Because I had one friend 809 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 5: who he he made He made a million dollars let's 810 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 5: say roughly like, he made a million dollars young, right 811 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 5: then he fell on some hard times and he lost 812 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 5: pretty much all of it. But another one of my 813 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 5: friends was talking to him and he was like, you're 814 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 5: going to make a million dollars a gat easy. And 815 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 5: when he said that, it was kind of like I 816 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 5: asked him later, I'm like, why would you say that. 817 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 5: You don't even know, Like it's not easy to make 818 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 5: a million dollars. He said, because he already made it before, 819 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 5: so he got the information. He understands how to do it. Now, 820 00:38:59,239 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 5: you just got to do it again. 821 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 3: That's like, that's what they said about the first millions. 822 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 5: You can't like you say, you can't take somebody's knowledge. 823 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 5: Once you have the knowledge to do it, you're going 824 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 5: to do it again. 825 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 3: Well, what makes them dangerous, right, like, in terms of 826 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 3: being able to get that back, is that he has 827 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 3: knowledge and experience. It's one thing to be a coach 828 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 3: and coach a sport, but there's another thing to play 829 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 3: and being in that moment because I can now coach 830 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 3: from a different angle because I've been in that moment. 831 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 3: So we watch coaches in the NBA and there's certain 832 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 3: guys we look at and it's like that dude really 833 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 3: was never in that moment, so it's hard for him 834 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 3: to get across this player the significance of the moment 835 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 3: because he didn't do it, or certain guys are not 836 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 3: able to basically talk and communicate, like Michael Jordan's respect 837 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 3: is a terrible owner, Like he's not good at putting 838 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 3: the team together or gym and stuff because he was 839 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 3: so great, so he can't compute how everybody's not great. 840 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 3: But Larry Bird is able to get the most at 841 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 3: an Indiana Pacers all the time, and they might not 842 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 3: be the most talented players, but Larry Bird was the 843 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 3: most athletic guy he would is super smart and very skills, 844 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,760 Speaker 3: so he's able to understand that and put teams together 845 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,919 Speaker 3: that are not juggernauts, but they're team that you don't 846 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 3: we can't walk over. It's the same thing, right, Like 847 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 3: a person that has experience plus the knowledge base is 848 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 3: always going to double up faster. So if I lost 849 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 3: that million or whatever it is, I can get it 850 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 3: back faster, but not only do I have the life 851 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 3: experience of what I went through. So I'm gonna just 852 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 3: basically skip these hurdles. Right, these mistakes I've made, those 853 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 3: are out the way. So if I skip these hurdles 854 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 3: that might have cost me six months in mistakes, that's 855 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 3: going six months to a million whatever the number is, right, 856 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 3: And that's the power we have to first learn. So 857 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 3: we're knowledgeable and we're armed. Right, I've armed myself to 858 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 3: go into battle. I didn't go and I didn't run 859 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 3: into the battle with nothing in my hands. 860 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 6: To like, I'm gonna get smarter, and that's I mean, 861 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 6: that's what we do, right, But nobody teaches us like 862 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 6: especially stocks. 863 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 3: It's not something that is learned in school. And if 864 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 3: your parents have never invested in stocks, like. 865 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 5: We have no armor when we got So what happens 866 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 5: with most of the time, most middle class people in 867 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 5: our community especially, is that people are intimidated with things 868 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 5: they don't understand, they don't know right, So what ends 869 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 5: up happening is that if you just stay away from 870 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 5: it and you say it's over my head, I don't 871 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 5: want anything to do with it, because especially when it 872 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 5: comes to money, people is not going to invest in 873 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 5: something or that they don't understand. So this is what 874 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 5: the podcast is about, is to fully equip you. But 875 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 5: before we leave, I wanted to talk about a couple 876 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 5: of different ways where people can invest in stock market. 877 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 5: Even if okay, even if you don't want to fully 878 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 5: dive in and do the research and it may not 879 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 5: be your forte, you can still invest in stock market. Right, 880 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,720 Speaker 5: There's other ways to invest. So there's like mutual funds 881 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,399 Speaker 5: White People allows you to invest in stock market without 882 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 5: actually investing yourself, right, it's being done for you. In 883 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 5: a mutual fund is a company like a Franklin, Simpleton 884 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,439 Speaker 5: or Oppenheim. And what they do is they pull together 885 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,359 Speaker 5: let's say one hundred and fifty different stocks and one 886 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 5: mutual fund, and you pay a fee for that. But 887 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,280 Speaker 5: you're paying a fee because they're doing the work for you, right, 888 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:57,879 Speaker 5: So it's like a four to one kh a job 889 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,960 Speaker 5: where nobody really knows the money. And then form like okay, 890 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,240 Speaker 5: where it's invested. It's invested in stock market, but nobody 891 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 5: knows which stock is actually invested in. 892 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 3: Right. 893 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 5: The same thing with a mutual fund kind of like 894 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 5: you're investing in a mutual fund like it could be 895 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 5: a tech fund, but that tech fun might have one 896 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 5: hundred and fifty different stocks inside of it. Right. So 897 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 5: the benefit with that is that a it allows you 898 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 5: to invest in a low amount. It's like a lot 899 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 5: of times, like fifty dollars a month minimum or like 900 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 5: a thousand dollars a month long some So you're investing 901 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 5: at a pretty low entry point and you don't have 902 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 5: to do the work yourself, Like you don't have to 903 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 5: research you you know it's being done for you. And 904 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 5: the another way to invest is an index fund. Right, 905 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 5: So an indexed fund, you know, attracts an index. So 906 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 5: we have like the S and P five hundred or 907 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 5: dal Jones and that's pretty much like a microcosm of 908 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 5: the stock market. And so instead of you trying to 909 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 5: pick stocks yourself, you're just investing in a broader stock 910 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 5: market as a whole. And that's another way where it's 911 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 5: it's passive, right because you're not actually doing the work, 912 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 5: it's just mirroring the actual market. So I say those 913 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 5: those two ways in particular because we want everybody to 914 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 5: get involved in investing, and we encourage you to learn 915 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 5: and to do it yourself if you would like to. 916 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 5: But if not, that's still not an excuse no to 917 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,280 Speaker 5: not invest because you can still invest in a stock 918 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 5: market without actually having to pick the stocks or do 919 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:15,760 Speaker 5: the work yourself. 920 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 3: Right. I think the idea really is on a daily basis, 921 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 3: are you challenging yourself? Right? Are you today? I go 922 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 3: to sleep and then I'll wake up tomorrow and my 923 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 3: better version of myself and all assets of life. Right, Like, 924 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 3: forget finance, just aspects of challenging yourself. And when you 925 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 3: start to challenge yourself, the reward comes right slowly, but 926 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 3: show It's like if I want to lose weight. Sometimes 927 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 3: I look in the mirror and it's like, well, I'm 928 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 3: not losing weight, and this mighty see you go, hey man, 929 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:42,839 Speaker 3: losing weight And it's like I didn't know this because 930 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,320 Speaker 3: I see myself every day, so I will never notice 931 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 3: the micro changes in myself. But in this kind of forum, 932 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 3: the ideas that get better every day. And the great 933 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,320 Speaker 3: thing about the stock market, and the great thing about 934 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,400 Speaker 3: all the things you're speaking about is that it's tangible. 935 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 3: We can feel it, we can read, we can touch it. Right. 936 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 3: I can go to a Verizon store, I can walk 937 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 3: into a Nike store. I can tangib I can feel 938 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 3: it if I also can put up an article from 939 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal, or I can donate my money, right, 940 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 3: I consider a donation. Right, So when I say donate money, 941 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 3: you have to pay for the worsh Journal. But I'm 942 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 3: donating to my knowledge. Right, I'm donating money to my 943 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 3: knowledge fund. And then when I pay for betterers, I'm 944 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 3: donating money to mine. I'm donating time to my knowledge. 945 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 3: That's what I'm investing in myself to make myself better, 946 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,360 Speaker 3: because the better I am, the more I can do 947 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 3: for other people. Right. So part of my journey was 948 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 3: that I understood when I got into the game was 949 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 3: the better I do, the more I can do for 950 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 3: people who don't know, because they're gonna trust me because 951 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,399 Speaker 3: they figure, well, you work in this field, so I'm 952 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 3: gonna trust you the certain way. I go to my 953 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 3: dentists and they say, well you need this, and I 954 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,840 Speaker 3: always tell them you are professional. I'm gonna do what 955 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 3: I'm told, but I also want to learn becaum not 956 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 3: trying to just have dental work done for no reason. 957 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,240 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna ask questions as to why that's happening. 958 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 3: And you can now tell me, I'm gonna learn. So 959 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 3: the same thing premise holds true for this is any 960 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 3: money or time you're donating to investing yourself. So these 961 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,320 Speaker 3: platforms also cost money. Let's not forget that this stuff 962 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,839 Speaker 3: isn't free. It's not free to be knowledgeable, and it's 963 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 3: not free to just become an expert in something. It 964 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 3: takes sweat, equity and time right in years, months, days, 965 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 3: whatever you want to do, and it takes a financial investment. 966 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 3: And I'm gonna waste twenty bucks thirty bucks on stuff 967 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 3: I don't need right, no week and do everything. We 968 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 3: always waste money, so we always find a reason. We 969 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,720 Speaker 3: can always find a reason why we should buy something. 970 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 3: Oh man them Jordans on sale, you know they did 971 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,399 Speaker 3: with three hundred. I put them for one fifty. Found 972 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,919 Speaker 3: the reason I didn't need them, and this difference between 973 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 3: the need and the want. Same thing with this, these 974 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 3: platforms cost money. Well lost your journally costs money. Barrens 975 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 3: cost money financial terms for x financial times. Excuse me 976 00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 3: costs money.

I'm like, great, I'm 1003 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,359 Speaker 6: gonna invest in these all right, bo, So I did it. 1004 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 6: I was like, the album's gonna be huge prior to 1005 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 6: it being released. And it was great for the first 1006 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 6: six months, and then two thousand and eight barcking crash 1007 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,759 Speaker 6: and I got scared and I took all my money out, but. 1008 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 5: I still watched. 1009 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,399 Speaker 6: I was still watching from the sideline, and I saw 1010 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,359 Speaker 6: like companies go up sevenfold, and I'm like, oh my gosh. 1011 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,399 Speaker 3: And then they did something called a split. You want 1012 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 3: to plain what it split is? So stock split? Could 1013 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 3: they either they do a reverse dock split or they 1014 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 3: can stock split. Right, So if you have one share 1015 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:41,880 Speaker 3: and let's say this shares one hundred dollars, and the 1016 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 3: companies says, we're doing a four to one stock split, 1017 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 3: now you have four shares at twenty five dollars, right, 1018 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 3: and the reverse Dosplat's like, we're going to make those 1019 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 3: four shares one hundred dollars, right, So you have four 1020 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 3: twenty five dollars shares. Now you have one share of 1021 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 3: one hundred dollars. Companies do it for a multitude of reasons, 1022 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 3: whether it is to create ball, right, because the stock 1023 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,359 Speaker 3: market doesn't supply and demand. Why is the stock called 1024 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 3: so much? Whether there's not a lot of volume, whether 1025 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 3: there's not a lot of shares that are out there 1026 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 3: that you can obtain, So the price goes up the 1027 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 3: same way that if like a sneaker comes out and 1028 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 3: then it gets sold out and it's two hundred dollars 1029 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 3: a Nike, but then you go on stock X and 1030 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,840 Speaker 3: it's five hundred beans, you're like, yo, but that's the 1031 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,839 Speaker 3: value because there's only so many shoes, and Liverson knows that, 1032 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 3: and they're going to raise the price. That's the same thing 1033 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,799 Speaker 3: in the stock market. Sometimes the companies right will buy 1034 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,880 Speaker 3: back shares of their stock to take them off of 1035 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,919 Speaker 3: the market. By buying back the shares of their stock, 1036 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,400 Speaker 3: I'm taking them off the market. It creates right, It 1037 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 3: creates a more demand for the stock because there's less 1038 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 3: of supply out there for me to get my hands on. 1039 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,200 Speaker 3: So intrinsically it will raise the price of the stock 1040 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 3: or hopefully raise the price to the stock. Right, and 1041 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 3: raising the price of stock gives it a different profile. 1042 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,879 Speaker 3: If a stock is trading at one hundred and fifty 1043 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 3: dollars a share has a different profile than the stock 1044 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 3: that's trading at five dollars a share. We're not even 1045 00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,359 Speaker 3: discussing the company. It decides to have what looks from 1046 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,360 Speaker 3: the inside outside in. And so sometimes companies want to 1047 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,759 Speaker 3: go from being Nike to Louis right, or from Louis 1048 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 3: to Nike right accessibility in terms of their demographic the 1049 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 3: customers will say. Some companies might say, hey, we're trading 1050 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 3: this seven hundred dollars a year, and we want to 1051 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,800 Speaker 3: make our stock more accessible to people who can afford 1052 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,319 Speaker 3: this range, say from one to fifty two hundred, right, 1053 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 3: And by doing the stock split or buying back these 1054 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,839 Speaker 3: shares or different ideas they have, they're acting on what 1055 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 3: they think is best for their company. And again it 1056 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 3: kind of all ties into the ecosystem and everybody is 1057 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 3: going to do what's best for what for them and 1058 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 3: who makes a decisions CEOs CFOs coos right, and the 1059 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,400 Speaker 3: perception of the stock on the market. 1060 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, man, that's it's powerful. Man. Once again, we want 1061 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 5: to want to thank you for coming. And once again, 1062 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:55,239 Speaker 5: this all comes back to what we always say is relationships. Right, 1063 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 5: Like as far as all the guests, people that we 1064 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,880 Speaker 5: know personally or people that we've developed relationship recently. So 1065 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,480 Speaker 5: me and Quinn go back a long time, so you 1066 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,880 Speaker 5: know now to see him do his thing in finance 1067 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 5: is encouraging and once again, collaboration is better than competition 1068 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 5: like a man match, you know, so it makes sense 1069 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,960 Speaker 5: to work across, right, And you know it's dope that 1070 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 5: you know, we invited them all and he had no 1071 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,319 Speaker 5: problem coming on and giving his area of expertise, and 1072 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 5: this is what all of our guests have been doing, 1073 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 5: which is just really dope. So you know this is 1074 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 5: just you know, this is due the whole relationship and 1075 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 5: we know personally, right. 1076 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,520 Speaker 3: So with your champion each other, yeah, not for sure. 1077 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,640 Speaker 5: So you know that just lets you you guys know, 1078 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 5: wherever you're at in the world and your geographic location 1079 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,560 Speaker 5: or whatever, develop those relationships. Relationships work more than money 1080 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 5: because ultimately, like you said, money's gonna come and go, 1081 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 5: but the knowledge and the relationships that you have can 1082 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,360 Speaker 5: last a lifetime and you never know when somebody you 1083 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 5: know can help or when you can help somebody. So 1084 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 5: it's just beneficial. So do you have any initiatives that 1085 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,200 Speaker 5: you are doing or anything that you want to make 1086 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 5: the public aware of anything. 1087 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 3: I'm in the future. I'm putting together some business and 1088 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 3: entrepreneur I want to say, workshops that will be accessible, 1089 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 3: you know, to our community, first Western County, I want 1090 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,400 Speaker 3: to say, and trying to bring together some intelligent minds 1091 00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 3: from different industries so that the youth are exposed to 1092 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 3: this and they understand that there is opportunity in different aspects. 1093 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,760 Speaker 3: Like for me, I wasn't aware that these jobs existed 1094 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,839 Speaker 3: growing up. Like I said, I thought, okay, I'm going 1095 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,840 Speaker 3: to the league or you know, you can be a 1096 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,840 Speaker 3: doctor or a lawyer. But there's a vast amount of 1097 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 3: jobs and the vast amount of opportunities absolutely, and it 1098 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,759 Speaker 3: comes down to exposure. So a big initiative for me 1099 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 3: this year is really kind of getting my hands more 1100 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,280 Speaker 3: in the dirt and being able to provide resources as 1101 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,560 Speaker 3: far as my knowledge and then my relationships and bringing 1102 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,240 Speaker 3: into the youth and saying, hey, these are your options. 1103 00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,840 Speaker 3: If you stated of course, if you go to class 1104 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,080 Speaker 3: and you do the best you can and you build 1105 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 3: these habits, now you don't have a problem when you 1106 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,719 Speaker 3: get older. The difficulty is when you don't build these 1107 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,360 Speaker 3: habits as a youth or a teen or early the 1108 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,879 Speaker 3: early twenties, and now you're thirty something and you don't 1109 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 3: have the armor to battle, right, And so we have 1110 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 3: to arm ourselves with knowledge, work, ethic, and habits to 1111 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 3: be able to be successful in this world because it's competitive, 1112 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,359 Speaker 3: and that's just the general basis of well and get 1113 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 3: out there to the youth. I think it's super important, 1114 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 3: especially minorities, because these are things we're not privy to. 1115 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 3: These are things that we see on TV, and sometimes 1116 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,400 Speaker 3: we don't feel from a self standpoint it's obtainable. But 1117 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,759 Speaker 3: if I can put in front of you people of 1118 00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,280 Speaker 3: color and people who are minorities who have climbing these mountains, 1119 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 3: who are still climbing these mountains, who are still going 1120 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,880 Speaker 3: through their process to be great in their legacy, and 1121 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,880 Speaker 3: show you that it is obtainable, I think that's important. 1122 00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,680 Speaker 3: And that's what we said on the last episode is representation, Right, 1123 00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,960 Speaker 3: if you see it, then you. 1124 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 6: Most likely feel like you can be it. Then we 1125 00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 6: don't see people in other fields. So I'm happy that 1126 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,399 Speaker 6: you said that, and we got some stuff that we're 1127 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 6: working on this summer, so that's gonna be dope. 1128 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 3: We definitely have you. 1129 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, we definitely want to have you well stuff together 1130 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 5: for sure.
