1
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: I think that the term Karen has now morphed, maybe

2
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: into something different. I think that in the beginning, when

3
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: people were calling people Karen's, it was obviously very critical.

4
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: It would be a Karen seemed to be a blonde,

5
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: middle aged woman. She voted for Trump. She was labeled

6
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: to be a racist, and it was really like a

7
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: vicious sort of term. And somehow I feel like Karen

8
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: has morphed into being a middle aged woman. It doesn't

9
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: really matter who she voted for. I don't think it

10
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: matters what her religion is anymore, because I think before

11
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: Karen was Christian for some reason, I just don't think

12
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: she was a Jewish woman. And I think that now

13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: Karen has morphed into a woman who likes to lodge plaints,

14
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: Like if a woman is the person who's staying at hotel,

15
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, can we see another room or Hi, yeah,

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: can I get something else on the side, or can

17
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: I talk to your manager? Can I speak to a supervisor?

18
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: What's your term policy? I need a nonrefundable ticket. You know,

19
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: someone who's savvy, slash, annoying and wants to lodge a complaint.

20
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: That's what I feel like. It's morphed into because I

21
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: know that I was saying something and Paul, my fiance,

22
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: said to me, Okay, would you like to lodge a

23
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: complaint to Karen? So that's what Karen's become. And I

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: want to actually talk about that because I don't know

25
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: anymore who Karen is. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I never

26
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: knew the definition. I know some people who don't even

27
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: know what a Karen is, meaning, they don't even know

28
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: the term. I've said it to a couple of people

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: and they've said, what. So I thought it was like

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: really popular vernacular, like a really popular term, and I

31
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: think that maybe that's more on social media, but it's

32
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: not so mainstream, like it's not Karen is not Felicia yet,

33
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: whereas by Felicia, and I know Felicia is very out.

34
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: Felicia is not cool anymore. Felicia's being totally canceled, and

35
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: Karen is in. But I just don't have famous Karen is.

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: And I can tell you one thing. If Karen were Jewish,

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: she's Judy. Judy wants to lodge a complaint. Judy needs

38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: to talk about no oil, no sauce, steamed broccoli, Send

39
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: it back, my eggs Benedict are not soft enough. My

40
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: burger is not cooked properly. This just doesn't taste right.

41
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: The meat is tough. I ordered medium rare, it's medium.

42
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: I would like a refund. I would like to speak

43
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: to your boss. Can I have your boss's name? That's Judy? So,

44
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Judy is the Jewish Karen? Okay? Why is there no

45
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: male Karen? So? Who's Karen? Bill? Bill, Joe? And what

46
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Bill and Joe is like? What just like? Is a

47
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: man who runs it up the flagpole, golfs and goes

48
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: on phishing trips with his buddies? Is that is that

49
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: Joe feels like Bill Bob? Is it Bob? Or is

50
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: it Bill Bob? Bob is the new Karen? Okay, Bob

51
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: is the male Karen. We have to get his profile down.

52
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: I think he golfs. I think he goes on fishing

53
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: trips his buddies. I think he, you know, likes to

54
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: go out with his bros and his buddies. It doesn't

55
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: say bros, he says buddies. I think he has a

56
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: cozy for his beer. I think he has a lake house.

57
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,560

58
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:44,360

59

126
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: So where did you grow up and what's your family dynamic?

127
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: Your parents are upgramming your siblings. Yeah, so I grew up.

128
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: I grew up in Late Charles, Louisiana refinery town. So

129
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: you either were a refinery person there and you were

130
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: connected to the unions and did hard labor at the factories,

131
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: uh mostly the gas refineries hard labor, or you did

132
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: some kind of you know, a sales job. So my

133
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: dad died when I was ten years old. He had

134
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: made it firmly into the middle class from poverty. Both

135
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: of my parents were Italian descent. Their parents came over

136
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: My mother's father was born on the ship and never

137
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: had papers to live in the US, and so my

138
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: grandfather my mother's side, never had papers to live in

139
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: the US. So he lived a very dark life, like

140
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: he was under the radar, never had an employment situation,

141
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: probably never paid taxes, so everything was kind of on

142
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: the sly. And then my dad's side completely opposite. They

143
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: were shipbuilders from Naples, Italy. They came in settled in Madisonville, Louisiana,

144
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: and so my dad had this hard that this hard labor,

145
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: do it right, pay the price, work ethic. He's the

146
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: first person who went to college and became a you know,

147
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: life insurance salesman's stock broker, car salesman. He did all

148
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But he really got into the

149
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: middle class. And at the age of fifty two, um

150
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: with five kids, he died. He died from a heart failure.

151
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: So that left my mom. My mom at the time

152
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: was I guess she was forty eight with five kids.

153
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: She had no this is back in the fifties, housewife.

154
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: You know, she had never earned money herself, never held

155
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: a job herself, and now she had to manage five kids.

156
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Everything was paid off, the house was paid off, the

157
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: cars were paid off. The following week after my dad died,

158
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: my mom was selling the house, dumping everything. I'm ten

159
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: years old, twin brother were the youngest, and we're sitting

160
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: there watching. I'm watching my mom going to terra when

161
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: she should have been grieving because she's unloading stuff. And

162
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: so this became. You know, as I look back fifty

163
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: years back, this is this is what ends up making

164
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: me who I am today. I bet you had or

165
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: you have still have a bit of money noise. You

166
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: knew what it was like to feel scared and desperate

167
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: and not have it. And even if we have a

168
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: lot of money, you can have noise like where you're

169
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: moving things around and you've got to do that to

170
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: do this, And you have a lot of real estate,

171
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: You're into a lot of different things. Hey, have you

172
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: ever had any debt that you didn't want and be

173
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: Do you have money noise or noise in any area,

174
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: either family noise or food noise or any of that stuff. Yeah. Sure.

175
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: Between the age of fifteen, I was so angry that

176
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: my dad died, and I was so angry I couldn't

177
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: help my mom. Like I've been wanting to work since

178
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: my dad died. I'm like, I want to take care

179
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: of my mom. And that's been a driving force of mine.

180
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: I was raised by a single mother, Like that's who

181
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: I know. She and I were best friends, and I

182
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: could not help her. I could not get rid of

183
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: her angst. And that is that driver, that thing that

184
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: you see in me, like this guy just not start.

185
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: That's still in me. My mom's passed ten years ago,

186
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: but she was my best friend. She took care of me.

187
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: She was the one I went to first when I

188
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: had a success or failure, even as an adult, but

189
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: at the age of fifteen, I was so angry that

190
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: I didn't have a man in my life. Part of

191
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: why I created this foundation was for kids without fathers

192
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: because I wanted a dad. I wanted an uncle, dan,

193
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: a mentor, a coach. I wanted something. Someone dies, you

194
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: feel abandoned them, like they left you. And because Chelsea

195
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: Handler on this show said that when her brother died,

196
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: he said to her he was coming back to Martha's vineyard.

197
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: He was going away for a certain number of weeks

198
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: and he was coming back. He was gonna leave her

199
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: here with these people, meaning her other crazy family, and

200
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: that he never came back, and she was very angry

201
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: about that. Even the professional and logical, but people who

202
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: experienced loss can of relate. Yeah, but it was logical

203
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: for me because it took me two years to realize

204
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: my dad wasn't gonna show up. I was twelve years old,

205
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like, he ain't coming back, broke. But then

206
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: I started, when are my uncle's gonna help me out?

207
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: If you've ever heard anybody refer to me as uncle

208
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: G I told this story one time and I said, dude,

209
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: I am going to be the uncle for others, for

210
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: the uncle that wasn't there for me. I had three

211
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: uncles and they never showed up for me, and I

212
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: don't off about it. So the next person that showed

213
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: up was a drug dealer, and he's like, i'll be

214
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: your coach, I'll be your mentor, I'll be your daddy.

215
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: And I'm like, let's go. And I went on a

216
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: ten year binge with drugs. I became a drug addict

217
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: between fifteen and twenty five. I was using drugs every day,

218
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: overdose three times, had eighty stitches put in my head

219
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: and face. Could easily be in prison right now or Dad.

220
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: I had three friends that got killed. I went to treatment.

221
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: Three of them died while I was in treatment, were killed,

222
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: were had bullets put in their heads. So that was

223
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: the life grant card owned thirty years ago. I was

224
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: the black sheep of my family. Nobody trusted me. My

225
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: family didn't trust me, my sisters didn't trust me. Nobody

226
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: wanted anything to do with me. I was the only

227
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: place I could get a job when I came out

228
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: of treatment was a car dealership. And I put my

229
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: life together. I quit using drugs. I didn't use any

230
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: more drugs for thirty eight years and never went back

231
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: to the drug thing. I left the treatment center. They said,

232
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: you will definitely be back, and I'm like, why am

233
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: I coming back here? I ain't coming back. And they're like, yeah,

234
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: because you want to be famous and you want to

235
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: write books, and you want to save the world, and

236
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: you've got these ideas you're gonna be rich and famous.

237
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, dude, I'm gonna do all that ship

238
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: And they're like, anybody with that attitude will always come

239
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: back their treatment center. I said, bro, I'll never be

240
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: back here. I still remember the guy today, Paul. Paul

241
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: gave me the inspiration of my life saying you will

242
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: be back here, you will be a drug addict for

243
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. You have a disease, I'm like,

244
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: this ain't a disease. I'm gonna flip this switch. I'm

245
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: gonna use all this energy and I'm gonna take this gift.

246
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: The ability to like be locked in on something than

247
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: to switch the addiction from disease to gift is what

248
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: I've used now for thirty years. Really can propel and

249
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: create everything that well. My partner and relief work is

250
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: Michael Caponi. He built big houses, like big million dollar

251
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: mansions in Miami. After he was a major club promoter

252
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: like Ingrid Caesaris and Madonna. He dated a lot of

253
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: models and he did a lot of drugs and he

254
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: was very addicted. He one day switched. He never went

255
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: to a meeting, he just flipped the switch. And he's

256
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: been to Haiti like sixty times. We've been all over

257
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: the world from the Bahamas. We've done a hundred million

258
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: dollars of relief in three years. He flipped it to

259
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: something else. Doesn't mean that that isn't like being addicted

260
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: to aid or something else, but good. I mean, you know,

261
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: what I mean, he's also spiritual. So that's a fascinating

262
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: if that's been channeling. Because a person, I guess an

263
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: addict has such energy and passion and drive for that,

264
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: they've got to get it, They've got to have it,

265
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: they have to do it. They wanted their singular focus.

266
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: If you can take that sort of addiction and the

267
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: singular focus on something else, it makes sense. Everybody has

268
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: the ability to be hooked into something to where you

269
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: lose sleep. Everybody's done it. When you fall in love,

270
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: you go to this. You don't need to eat, you

271
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: don't need to sleep, You just want to have sex

272
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: and fall into this person's face over and over again.

273
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: Bad breath is good breath, and you can't get enough

274
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: of it. Please sweat on me like you like sucking

275
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: into this, immersed into this universe where you forget everything else.

276
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: There is nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, in our culture today,

277
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: anybody that goes all in on anything is somehow labeled sick, diseased, codependent, obsessive, compulsive.

278
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: I've been called O, D, D, A, C D, every

279
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: every like, every little acronym qute acronym in the world.

280
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, how about g I f T. That's great. Well,

281
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: I know what you're lying. I mean, I understand what

282
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: you're like. You know, I'm I'm not saying I'm like you,

283
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: but I'm one of these people. You and I are

284
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: very on it. There's no no I've got it figured

285
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: it out. I'm thinking all the time processing. I may

286
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: have a different style, but you know, there's a certain

287
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: thing inside many of us, and when it's not channeled,

288
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: it goes in the wrong places. Like even for me,

289
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: it's humor, and I need a place to put the

290
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: humor in the connectivity. For other people, it's just business

291
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: and numbers or data. But how do you sustain You've

292
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: been married for how many years? Sixty and seventeen years? Okay,

293
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: now you've been totally honest and vocal where you did

294
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: a clubhouse together about that. It's had its challenges. She's

295
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: open about it too. So what is the good, bad,

296
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: and the ugly? How do you sustain? I mean, there's

297
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: no perfect relationship. That's bullshit. You know. My best friend

298
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: was last night complaining about something going on in her marriage.

299
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: Has been married for decades. That's an accomplishment. My other

300
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: best friend has been married for decades. He's an extrovert.

301
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: Like everybody's got their ships. So we're not sugarcoating anything,

302
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: but I'm asking an accomplishment is being a team and

303
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: being with the same partner for decades. So you've been together,

304
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: you have kids. How do you make something work when

305
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: you have these big, driven personalities. There's so many different elements.

306
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: How do you make it work? What's some formula or

307
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: some elements or ingredients. Look, I don't know if I

308
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: have a formula. I know that, you know. The thing

309
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: for me always is I need to work on me,

310
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: not on her. You know, I don't need to work

311
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: on her. You know, she's not a nail. I need

312
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: to work on me. The only thing I can change

313
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: is me. Like when I change me, things get better.

314
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: And if she does the same thing, then good. But

315
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: I can't make her do that, right, I can't. You know,

316
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: she typically blames me for everything that goes wrong. You know,

317
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: I am responsible for everything that happens bad, and she

318
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: is somehow responsible for everything that happens good. It's just

319
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: the way it is, right, So this has been difficulty

320
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: in my relationship. I live in a very physical universe.

321
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: For me, the universe is a lot of gravity, A lot.

322
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: I think you can relate to this. There's a lot

323
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: of effort required for me to be successful. Her world,

324
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: she does not live in a world where there's effort.

325
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: She lives in a very ethereal um. She's an actress, right,

326
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: so that's our background in the arts, and and so

327
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: her world is a lot lighter than mine is. Mine

328
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: has a lot of gravity. You're the peacock. You're the

329
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: peacock relationship. Obviously, there's only one peacock. I don't know

330
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: about that. You've never heard of it. There's only one

331
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: peacock with the blooming feathers taking up the energy in

332
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: the room. You're sucking up the energy in the room.

333
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: And she's got some of it in her own way.

334
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: But she's very much takes up a lot of room

335
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: in a room. I'm speaking about more effort effort. I'm

336
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: in an effort ban and she is much more in

337
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: a kind of a life free. Oh, I'm just gonna

338
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: make this happen. I'm gonna secret it. She's gonna secret it.

339
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: She's gonna make it happen energetically, and you're likelinding to

340
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: make it happen. I am the law of action, and

341
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: she is the law of possibility, and and she thinks

342
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: she's making this ship happen. But I'm like, bro, none

343
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: of this ship's happening without like jet fuel, without refueling,

344
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: without pushing through, without like like it's like, my world

345
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: is tough. It's just my reality. I could be completely

346
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: spiritually unevolved and I'm just an idiot. But I'll tell

347
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: you this. It is a version of the peacup because

348
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: same thing with me. There can and should only be

349
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: one person driving in that way. So you're lucky that

350
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: you happen to find a partner who happens to be

351
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: able to play and role in this world, your crazy world.

352
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: She's beautiful, she's charismatic, she's a good your first lady

353
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: or you're you're the first husband, whichever you want to say.

354
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: But it can't be easy to live in this electric,

355
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: energetic world. How do you find downtime? How do you

356
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: find connectivity? How do you find spirituality? How do you

357
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: find peace? And like avoid of just anything relaxing. We

358
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: don't actually, you know, the game for us is the game,

359
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: and we're both very interested in our own spiritual development individually.

360
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: We don't believe in the rule is just a broken relationship.

361
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: I bring fifty, you bring fifty. We've got a quarter

362
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: is what you got? Like, you got broken people coming together.

363
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 1: Two broken people don't a whole. So we work a

364
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: lot on our spiritual development. Actually take time to get

365
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: away from each other and from our work and go

366
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: develop spiritually to understand that, you know, the things that

367
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: Elaine and I have in common are a great deal

368
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: more than the things we don't have in common. So

369
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: anytime there's an out and this, I just say, hey,

370
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: what's my grade? Like, Hey, you did this and you

371
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: did this. I'm like, what is my grade right now?

372
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: I failed those two things? What is my fucking grade

373
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: right now? Before God, by the way, I never pitched

374
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: perfect to anyone, So I never told her I was perfect.

375
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 1: I told her I would make our lives great, And

376
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: I just always go back to that thing, is our

377
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: life great? Right? You know? But but look, if we

378
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: spend time on the outpoints, we'll just go further down

379
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: the tube, the rabbit hole. So we have to spend

380
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: time on, Hey, what's working. How do we double down

381
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: on that? How do we make that more successful? We

382
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: got two kids now they're growing up, things change, like

383
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: we have to change. Is the game changes? What are

384
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: your kids like? Are they motivated? Do they care about business?

385
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: Are they free spirits? Will you allow them to be free? Speak?

386
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: My daughter is an artist. She's free. She's not like

387
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: me in that way. She's totally could be living in

388
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: Malibu in a band, you know, and I like that

389
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: she's like that. I'm not looking for her to be me.

390
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: So I want to know how you are with your kids. Yeah.

391
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: So our kids are nine and eleven. They're both very extroverted,

392
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: very social, extremely confident. But they get to do whatever

393
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: they want to do. Like, they don't have to be

394
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: in our business. They want to be a doctor. They

395
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: can be whatever they want to do. They're not entitled

396
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: to the money, they're not entitled to the company. If

397
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: one of them wants to step up and run things,

398
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: they can. If they don't, no problem. It's there are lots.

399
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to force anything on them, so we

Speaker 1: do the show or the show has happened before. No, no,

443
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: the show was done by a guy named Glenn Stearns,

444
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: and Glenn didn't hit the target. Glenn's a cool dude.

445
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: He did not hit the target, of course not. But

446
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: there's one of the things that I told Nancy Daniels. Okay,

447
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: I said, Nancy, by the way, this is what I'm

448
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: gonna do. I'll bet you a million dollars. I hit

449
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: the million dollar mark, but I'm not going for a

450
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: million dollars. I'm gonna build a ten million dollar business

451
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: in under nine dead dead. I don't know what I do.

454
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: million dollars. The business that we build. This you found somebody,

455
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: of course, but somebody somebody, I don't know anybody. They

456
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: dropped me off from Pueblo, Colorado. Do you know anybody

457
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: in Pueblo? No? So this is this is what I'm doing.

458
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: I leave Mandalaid Bay. I was with Kevin Hart. I'm

459
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: interviewed Kevin Hart, John travel to Dana White, Floyd Mayweather.

460
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: We are twelve thousand person event. You've been to our events.

461
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: You spoke at my thirty thousand person event. We had

462
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: that event that year in Las Vegas. I literally leave

463
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart. I go shave my head in my penhouse,

464
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: get on my plane. I put on this pair of

465
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: pants right here that have on. I have to t shirts,

466
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: two pairs of pants. They give me an old pair

467
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: of boots. A new phone, has no contacts. They take

468
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: this phone from me. Okay, we flow my plane to Lamar, Colorado.

469
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: I'd drive two hours in a piece of ship. Truck

470
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: is a terrible truck. You'll see the show. You'll see it.

471
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: And I get to Pueblo at three o'clock in the afternoon.

472
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: The sun's gonna go down in three and a half hours.

473
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: I have no water and no food and no place

474
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 1: to sleep. Okay, now watch this over ten days. I

475
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: don't spend one penny in ten days. The first thing

476
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: I did when I got to Pueblos I took the

477
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: hundred dollars and brought it to the bank and dropped

478
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: it off, opened a Welsh fargo account and got rid

479
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: of the hundred dollars. And discoveries like, why are you

480
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: putting this money in the bank. I'm like, because I

481
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: don't need a hundred dollars. I don't need anything. I

482
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: don't I don't need a dead Benjamin Franklin, you know.

483
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: And so they're like, we need you to spend that money.

484
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: I didn't spend that money for eight four days. I

485
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: never spent did no. I eat beans and rice for days.

486
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: If you made money, but you couldn't take any of

487
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: the money you made, if you made it all this money, Yeah,

488
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: whatever I wanted to do, I could do. You can't

489
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: break the law, but anything else is on the table.

490
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm dying. I love this. This is amazing. Audience can

491
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: actually binge the entire series on Discovery Plus because it's

492
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: sitting there right now. I can watch it now. Yeah,

493
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: you can watch it right now Discovery Plus. If you

494
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: have six dollars. I have six dollars and I'm gonna

495
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: watch it with Paul. I'm freaking out. I can't wait.

496
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: This is so exciting. Wow. And the reason I did

497
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: the show was because of your question. The number one

498
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: question people ask me is if you weren't Grant Cardonne,

499
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: if you didn't have all these people following you on

500
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: social media, if you didn't have the money in the

501
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: plane and all this stuff, could you make it all

502
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: over again? And this show is going to prove to

503
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: you you don't need money. You do need a strategy.

504
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: You know, you don't need to be in your own

505
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: little hometown that actually might be a benefit to you,

506
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: and it doesn't take a long time. Cuban said he

507
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: doesn't need the five said, I give it. If you

508
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: had to start over, I give you five. That he was,

509
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: I don't need the five thousand. He said, the same thing.

510
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: It's so interesting. This is why the show is interesting

511
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: because some of the questions I asked people who have

512
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: done it in very different ways, compelling ways interesting. Don't

513
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: get dressed up in a three piece suits in a

514
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: cubicle like whatever it is I'm saying. I'm talking to charismatic,

515
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,239
Speaker 1: interesting people and they all say similar things that are

516
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: so crazy. Like so he was like, I don't need

517
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: your money, Like I would take the five thousand. He's like,

518
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: I don't need the money. I would go, I would

519
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: get a job because the money is not what it's about,

520
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: is what you're saying. It's not about the money. I

521
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: always say, it's never about the money, but it's ultimately

522
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: about that. And you know it's about the money. So

523
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: you know you've done a lot of reality shows. You

524
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: know a lot of that is not reality. This I

525
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: can promise you I was there for the entire time.

526
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: I never got any help. This was not produced. Everything

527
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: that happened happened. I lost two to multimillion dollar deals

528
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 1: because I got discovered. Because part of the deal is

529
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: if I get discovered. Okayd all right. So Mark Cuban

530
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: is the person who said that I'm one of the

531
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: great branders of all time, and I'm telling you you

532
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: would give me a run for my money. I mean,

533
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: there's something we should do together. I don't know what

534
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: it is. It I told you I want to produce

535
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: a show with you. Yet let's go. Let's go, girl,

536
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: Come on. So now I understand why you're the top

537
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: crowdfunder in the world, raising five hundred million dollars in equity.

538
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: So now it's all making a lot of sense. You

539
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: have a hunger and a drive. So do you think

540
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: it's really what you saw in your father and just

541
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: the lack thereof in your mother or do you think

542
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: it's inside Do you think it's just inside of you?

543
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: Just baby, I was born this way, like auga says,

544
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: and look, I might not be right on this, but

545
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: I think that everybody has the potential to do something

546
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: much greater than they're doing. I know, since I was

547
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: a little boy, I had this like, I know I

548
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: can be somebody. You felt it, yeah, And I think

549
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: if everybody was honest, if you weren't so tired to

550
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: this idea that humility is such a great characteristic, which

551
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that it is. If you look up

552
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: the word in the dictionary, it's not a very appealing

553
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: word to be humble is not like, it's not something

554
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: you would want your kids to be if you look

555
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: the word up in the dictionary and just didn't assume

556
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: what it meant. But I think, quietly secret everybody thinks

557
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: they have something in them the special. And I just

558
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: happened to be one of those people that keeps telling

559
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: people I know, dude, I know, I know I'm supposed

560
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: to be somebody special. I know I'm supposed to do

561
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: something significant and important, and and I have just held that.

562
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: I think if my dad was here today, because he

563
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: did really well by us, but I think he would

564
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: look today and say, hey, I went for the middle

565
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: class and he got the middle class. And now, based

566
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: on how things turned out that my mom was having

567
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: an unload stuff the next week, he would not feel

568
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: like he actually set our family upright. I have certain goals,

569
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: but and I'm taking this thing into the end zone.

570
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: I can feel it, I know it. This business of mine,

571
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: I've doubled down. I've gone back to the tables. I've

572
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: split my aces. I already made a lot of money

573
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: and was on the cover of Forbes, but I decided

574
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: not for the money, for the game, for all of it.

575
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: But then you get into it and you're like, all right,

576
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: the money's a label for it, you know, the philanthropy

577
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: is a good thing that you can do to give back.

578
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: It all kind of becomes these these sort of goal posts,

579
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, the end zone is my all those set

580
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: your goals high, you know, if the impossible as possible.

581
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: But do you believe as a percentage of luck? What

582
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: what percentage are you lucky? What percentage are you smart? Well,

583
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm not a lucky guy, So I'm not lucky on

584
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 1: the tables. I'm not lucky with the races. That's not

585
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: been my deal. If anybody at the table is gonna lose,

586
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna get the worst hand I've I've sat

587
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: there with where the fucking cards were So with me,

588
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, God, damn, how do I keep getting a fourteen?

589
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe it's a mental thing. But it's

590
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: why I love real estate, because real estates to me,

591
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: is like a no brainer thing by the same kind

592
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: of assets over and over. I have to have the

593
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: cash flow and time. Time becomes my friend. So as

594
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: long as I have enough time, I know if I

595
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: can sit at that deck long enough. In a real

596
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: estate deal, it's just when do I make a triple

597
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: or a quadruple. So your favorite business is real estate

598
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: of all your businesses, sounds like you're passionate about it. Well,

599
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: my favorite. My favorite business is helping people because it's

600
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: just that thing pays in so many ways. So I

601
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: love doing those conferences. But the real estate is the

602
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: thing that will outlive me. I mean, both of them

603
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: are gonna live longer than me. The real estate could

604
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: live a hundred years after me and take care of

605
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: the investors and our family and our charities. Our charities

606
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: are set up to be paid fifty years after I'm dead.

607
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: Every month like clock work out of cash flow. But

608
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: you know the books and the programs and the webinars

609
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: and Cardon University I've helped, you know, I can't go

610
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: anywhere today where some young kid twenty two years old man, uncle, gee,

611
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: what's going on? Man? You change my life? So you

612
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: know that stuff feels really good too. So is there

613
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: a number? Like, for me, being totally transparent, the number

614
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: just represents what the thing is, you know. But the

615
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: Skinny Girl brand, which is a hundred million dollar brand,

616
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: which for me is a you know, a big deal,

617
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: and it's still sort of new, and I only have

618
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: a couple of people working you know with me in

619
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 1: my infrastructure. It's just like three or four people. So

620
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm proud of that. You know, no debt. I own

621
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: a hundred percent of it, all of that. So the

622
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: goal is to take that and all the brands to

623
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: be like, you know, a billion dollar brand or of

624
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: several hundred million dollar brands. So that's a goal. Like,

625
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: that's sort of that's the end zone. Doesn't mean I'm leaving.

626
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: It just means it's a nice major thing to sort

627
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: of work towards. And with the philanthropy, we did three

628
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: unti million dollars, I'd like to take that getting too.

629
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: Three UNTI million dollars and three years getting two billion

630
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: dollars doesn't sound that far if we I mean, because

631
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: now once you do it, it becomes exponentially once you

632
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: get on the board. Once you have a hundred million

633
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: dollar business, you can have five hundred million dollar business

634
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: in a second. So what is your goal post? You know,

635
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: what's the point of all this? What do you guys

636
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: want when you look at a lane and do you

637
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: have the same goals? Do you say we're gonna do

638
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: this and then what happens? Okay? I would love to

639
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: take card own capital to forty four the number not five.

640
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: Four is my lucky number. Well, I started. My first

641
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: goal in real estate was to own twenty units. We

642
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: have nine thousand. That was my first target was twenty units.

643
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to make ten thousand dollars a free cash flow. Okay,

644
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: that was like okay, if I can get there, I'm done.

645
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: My first deal with thirty eight units, it was twice

646
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 1: what my whole goal was. So then, as you know,

647
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: once you start winning races, you're like ship man like

648
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: not only that, if you're going to do it, like

649
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: if you're going to open up a restaurant. Of course,

650
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: it's not easy to say to someone who only has

651
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: the money to open up a small restaurant. But I

652
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: was speaking to Mark Packer, who owns all the marquees

653
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: and the tows and all that. And when we were

654
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: sitting in this restaurant, dirty French, I said, this would

655
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: have been a great space, and he said I was

656
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: offered the space. But if I'm gonna open something, I

657
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: might as well open something big that can generate a revenue.

658
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: Because it's gonna take the same amount of time and

659
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: effort to do a tiny restaurant and the same amount

660
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: of aggravation and liability than to do a big restaurant.

661
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: So what you're saying is it's gonna be the same

662
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: thing for me if I do a relief effort, and

663
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: it's it was just as hard to get a hundred

664
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: pairs of rain boots for Texas as it is now

665
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: to do fifty million dollars in Ppe. So why not

666
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: just go all the way, same energy, same effort. It

667
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: might not even be harder to go bigger. It might

668
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: actually be harder to go smaller than it is to

669
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: go bigger. I know. I remember, for twenty years I

670
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: built a business is big enough to take care of

671
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: our family and not big enough to take care of

672
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: other people's families, And that business was harder to operate

673
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: than the company I had today. Running a business with

674
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: three people was harder than running a business with five.

675
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: I believe you. The small management of people is a suck.

676
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: It sucks you. Yeah, I agree, And there's no big payoff. Okay.

677
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: And this is the problem with the middle class. The

678
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: middle class is the most overlooked, punished, and oppressed group

679
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: of people on planet Earth. It's not people in poverty.

680
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: They get attention every day that things aren't fair. Everybody

681
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: knows that. And the super rich they never have a problem.

682
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: Things go bad, it gets better for him. But the

683
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: people in the middle that are just getting by. They

684
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: got two cars, they got a nice little house. They're

685
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: worried all the time. By the way, you can tell

686
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: their word, because they're saving money for retirement that may

687
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: never happen. They may not even live to that day.

688
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: They're saving money in the banks, and the banks pay

689
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: them nothing. I mean, the whole thing, the big scam

690
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: in America is the middle class is someplace of freedom

691
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: when the truth is is just enough until it not.

692
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: And that's where my mom and dad lived. That's how

693
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: I grew up. I grew up in this constant fear

694
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: of my mother. She's constantly clipping coupons, looking for the

695
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: best deal, buying a used car when we should have

696
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: bought a new car, you know, moving homes because she

697
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: was worried about the maintenance. So that kind of built

698
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: my whole, like, Hey, I don't want to own a home.

699
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: I want to own three units. I'll rent where I

700
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: live and own where other people rent from me, and

701
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: I'll buy my dumb watch out of not earned income.

702
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: But right, So, who are your three best friends? My

703
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: three best friends? Man? Do I have three best friends?

704
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. You have one best friend? Uh No,

705
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 1: probably a lot of friends were not a best friend.

706
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: That's very interesting. What if somebody's going with your wife

707
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: that's serious and you're upset about it and you want

708
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: to talk about it, who do you call? I would

709
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: never talk to anyone about my wife. I would go

710
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: handle myself. I wouldn't call you and say, oh my god,

711
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: me and Elena hadn't had sex in three weeks, or hey,

712
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: me and Elena I had to fight. I don't need

713
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: your opinion about me and Lena that. I would never

714
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: involve a third party in one of our different problems.

715
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: Trusting people, No, I don't trust people with I would

716
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: not give that issue to you. I don't think it's

717
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: fair to you. I don't think it's fair to Elena.

718
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 1: I need to go handle myself. I would go handle

719
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: myself with my church and say, hey, I got some

720
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: issues here. But do you go to Elena to tell

721
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: her like the thing that happens, the exciting thing that happens,

722
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: the deal that happens that the show you got the show?

723
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: Did you call her first? When I was doing Undercover Billionaire?

724
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I watched the first two minutes of Glenn

725
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: Stearns doing that show, and I'm I called Elena because

726
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: Discovery said, hey, just go watch the first episode. I

727
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: watched seconds. I call that we're doing this show, and

728
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: it was we doing We're doing this show. But that

729
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: doesn't sound collaborative, But it is collaborative because we know

730
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: different people are in charge of different things in the household.

731
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: I like that. So you're it's where the fish are,

732
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: the fish were there, You're we're going. The team is moving.

733
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: There's not two decision makers on certain things like finances.

734
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: There's one decision maker. Interesting, there's one core her back,

735
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: there's one coach. There's one guy running that play. If

736
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: she's kicking the field goal. I'm not kicking and I

737
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: have no opinion about anything. If she's running X, she

738
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: runs X, and we were lane or wrong or lane

739
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: or right. So you're rabbit Craft, she's Belichick, and you're

740
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: just like not, you're do any different things. But yeah,

741
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: that's right. There's never two cooks. And that's a good

742
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 1: note forever on at home, by the way, that because

743
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: everyone wants to be so collaborative and that might not work. Okay,

744
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: I like that because what that does is that adds

745
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: time and it adds doubt. If I got a call in, hey,

746
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: do you think I should buy this deal? Well, man,

747
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: if I don't know, maybe I shouldn't be buying the deal.

748
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: How long did that take to build up? Did you

749
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: start that way? Or that's an evolution? Like is that

750
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: from the beginning? No, No, we got married in two

751
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: thousand four, two thousand and eight. We had to get

752
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: our ship together because two thousand and eight, like the

753
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: honeymoon was off. Now the band aid been pulled, and

754
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: we were just in this honeymoon stage of being married

755
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: and weren't really taking life seriously until the global economic collapse,

756
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: where it's like Okay, who's running what she quld be

757
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: in an interest In two thousand eight, She's like, okay,

758
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: I throw in the towel on the active thing. I'm

759
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: on board with you. You have a better chance of

760
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: taking us to the finish line than I do. That's

761
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: changing now, right. I like that? Like Jesse, It'sler said

762
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: that everyone This is another iteration of the show is

763
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: the relationship aspect, you know, always focus on the dynamic

764
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: because it doesn't matter about the other ship if you

765
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: can't hold your relationship together. So one of the things

766
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: he was saying was that they check in with each

767
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: other and they could make an appointment for like how

768
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: are you what's going on with you today? Not like

769
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: how is your day? But I mean like are you good?

770
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: Are we good? Like they check in with each other,

771
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: and that he lets her be her and fly and

772
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: she lets him be him. So I like, I'm learning

773
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: a lot through all these shows about business and different

774
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: ways but also relationships and yours. Isn't definitely right or wrong.

775
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: It's just one method for the toolbox, and checking in

776
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: could be another method. You might use that from now on,

777
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: Like I might use that from now and but I

778
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 1: might use your method. I like the toolbox of relationships. Yeah. Yeah,

779
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: And you might ask me three years from now, I

780
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: might say, how all that ship I told you the

781
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: other day with ridiculous? It was stupid by the way.

782
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: I've changed my mom many times in my career, and

783
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: I think it's important that people look back and say, Okay,

784
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't do that anymore. Exactly, you're checking in with

785
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: the relationship and what's working, things don't work. Yeah. I

786
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: agree with you on that. You grow out of a house,

787
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: you grow out of certain techniques, grow out of food

788
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: you're reading, grow out of health, health things, you're doing workouts.

789
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: So you do all these motivational conferences, largest business conference

790
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: in the world, thousands of people worldwide. They're massive. I've

791
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: been there. I went there. I spoke in front of

792
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: forty people people at the Marlin Stadium. I didn't know

793
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: where I was. But I walk out and there's a

794
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: car and like fireworks and explosions. I'm like, where the

795
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: fund am I? So it's a world and I want

796
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: to do something with you because there's these worlds and

797
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 1: people don't know about that. Like you're just uncovering, you're walking,

798
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,479
Speaker 1: You're like, there's the people at the Marlin Stadium Super

799
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: Bowl weekend, like what is going on? So obviously you

800
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: have a massive reach. You have speak to motivators all

801
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 1: the time. Who are the top three speakers that you've

802
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: had or seen or experience, like people that are just

803
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: electric and really motivating. Kevin Hart was phenomenal. It was

804
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: so easy because I'm very much a stand up guy.

805
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: Everything is for me? Is what's it called when you

806
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: do stand up improv? Yes? So that conversation was extremely

807
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: easy with me. Here's a guy that's a black comedian.

808
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: Everybody knows who Kevin Hard is, you know, and he

809
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: probably wants to be more businessman. I'm a businessman that

810
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: probably wants to be a comedian, you know. So, but

811
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 1: the thing that we had in common was this personal

812
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: comfort with making mistakes and just you know, just ripping

813
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: with an audience. Um. I literally like like the thing

814
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: that probably that I'm most scared of it. I would

815
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: love to do improv at a comedy store about money.

816
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: Guess what, No one knows this, No one, My best

817
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: friends don't know this. Okay, I am going up into

818
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: a comedy club in New York City and doing stand up.

819
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: So for many people. That's as crazy as you shaving

820
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: your head and going to pay. Well, I'm standing up

821
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: in front of the audience that doesn't know I'm coming.

822
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 1: The club doesn't even know it's me, and they keep saying,

823
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 1: we've had Jerry Seinfeld shop here Kevin Hart unannounced, which

824
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: is a lot of people's phones. But who is this person?

825
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: So I'm not Kevin Harden. I'm not Jerry Seinfeld. But

826
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be a shock, and I'm doing it.

827
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: I keep looking at Paul, I'm looking doing this and

828
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: so what I did? How long were you doing? As

829
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: long as I want? I mean at minimum five minutes,

830
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: but I might do ten minutes. I mean, I'm just

831
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna wing it, but I'm not winging have something to say,

832
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: but I'm not. I'm not gonna psyched out. And you

833
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: can text Kevin Hart because this was an idea I

834
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: had and I've documented it all, meaning just I've written

835
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: it down. I emailed and texted and received from every

836
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: single one of them, which is shocking. You know, in business,

837
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: if you asked ten people for money for PHILANTHROPI or

838
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: to do something for you or whatever, you're gonna get

839
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: like I can't or don't or write it forward to

840
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: my book. I can. I will. Every single person I'm

841
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: gonna tell you the names responded to me with passion

842
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: and good advice and takeaway. Kevin Neil and Ellen Degenerous,

843
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: Chris Rock, Whitney Hummings, Kathy Griffin called me for a

844
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: half hour shell Boto bridget evert like major legit comics.

845
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: But Kevin Nalen wrote me a one page email. You know,

846
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: Chris Rock gave me a whole blurb, like I just

847
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: wanted three tips, three tips on doing stand up for

848
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: the first time or any time, and so ask Kevin Hart.

849
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: Because they were all different, and like the show, they

850
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: all like had commonalities but then dissimilarities. You could pick,

851
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: like you could listen to Grant cardone and listen to

852
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: how he does business to take two things or one thing.

853
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: So I'm finding these threads in the show and it's fascinating.

854
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: Good luck, good luck, because five minutes can feel like

855
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: like sixty minutes if it's not going well. So why

856
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: would you keep thinking about I'm just gonna get up

857
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: and do it, you know, but I'm taking it seriously,

858
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not just winging and like, oh, funny.

859
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: They know that. What's interesting about it is that what

860
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,439
Speaker 1: I recognized in speaking to all of them is it's

861
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: an art form and it's a craft. So they're passionate

862
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: about it. And the fact that I'm not asking them

863
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: like help me be fun me. I'm not asking them.

864
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: I didn't ask them for jokes. I want to know

865
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: about the art form. So they gave different advice, whether

866
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: it was breathed just breathed, which is like okay, or

867
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: like Chris Rock said, know the first and the last

868
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: thing you're gonna say the middles of flow, you know,

869
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: like so great? Yeah, so all right, I want to

870
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: just hear your life mantra and then let you go

871
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: because you're very busy. You know, my life mantra is

872
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: success is your duty. That is my battle cry. It's

873
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: not an option. Everybody can have it. You know. Everybody

874
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: needs it. Your charities need it, your community needs it,

875
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: and the people that are watching you need it. People

876
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: are watching everyone, and if you're winning, there watching, and

877
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: if you're losing, their watching, and if you're just getting by,

878
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: everybody knows it. So I mean, you know, I just

879
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: want to make a difference. That's why we do these

880
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: big conferences like they do make a difference. You ask

881
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: me my three top speakers, so Kevin, I love being

882
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: with Kevin. Let me see who else. I mean, I've

883
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: had so many great like unbelievable. I had Don. People

884
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: said our last conference it was phenomenon. Don is the

885
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: seventh wealthiest Black American, and I just loved it. He's

886
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: a banker guy, So we go from a comedian to

887
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: a banker, right. And I'm trying. What I'm trying to

888
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: do in those conferences is I'm really trying to erase

889
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 1: the line between entertainment and business, because I don't think

890
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: there should be a line there. And then the third

891
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: most craziest speaker I've ever met is a chick name stop.

892
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't fishing grow Okay, well that was I wasn't

893
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: fishing at all. I've only done it a couple of times.

894
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: We've had you twice. Man. That's I will tell you

895
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: this is a truth. Success and success comes in many

896
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: different shapes and places. And I will tell you that

897
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: I've done this podcast now many times. I think we've

898
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: aired probably thirty episodes, and in unexpected places. I had

899
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: a great conversation with Dana White who you know, I

900
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: had a great conversation with Sandy Hagar. You'd think, I mean,

901
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: I had a great conversation with Hillary Clinton, but it

902
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: wasn't like you know, the same is that this was.

903
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: I think this was my best podcast because it was alive,

904
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: it was electric, it was funny, it was unexpected, it

905
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: was humanizing. This conversation represents why I'm doing this and

906
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: I value your time. And I just for the record,
