WEBVTT - Is this worth your investment? 0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:13.760 People want to ask how do I invest, Like, where 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.759 do I invest, especially in this crazy climate? What do 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:21.040 I do to build something from myself? And so we're 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.319 going to dig into that today and it's not the 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:29.680 answer that you thought we're going to give, and it's 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.559 worth hearing. And I think more people need to hear 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:36.920 about stuff like this because in a climate when there's 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:40.160 just so much confusion on the Internet and everyone's trying 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:42.400 to get a piece of everybody, and everyone wants you 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.320 to do something, it's really hard to get an understanding 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.880 on where do I go from here? And I think 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.919 I have the best answer for that. And maybe that's 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.200 saying a lot, but I truly think it is. And 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:58.200 so today I recruited my brother slash my manager. Sometimes 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.640 he's my only my brother and sometimes he's only my manager, 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.880 depending on the day. In the conversation, Tyler Smith is here. 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.200 We got permission from The Bachelorette to have him on 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.119 here so he could actually talk. He's been handcuffed by 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.520 that show for he wouldn't say that that's my words, 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.600 not his. Since he was on the show, I've been 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.479 wanting to get him on this podcast just because he's 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.319 my brother and I think you guys would love his advice. 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.360 He's a really smart dude. He reads a lot, he 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.800 knows so much about self development, and he could give 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:29.800 really good advice. He does to me all the time. 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.479 I rely on him for good advice. So it only 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.679 makes sense that we should have him on this podcast. 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.400 So I got him. I got him wrangled in. We're 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:42.080 going to talk about your questions, including what do I 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.240 do with my investment? Like how do I even start? 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:45.959 Where do I go? We got the answer for you. 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.480 I think it's really good one. I think it's the 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:53.800 best one. That's my opinion. So welcome to the podcast. 0:01:54.400 --> 0:02:33.680 Ye yee did chant and decent mus and school, long 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:39.480 line of five, fool of up and down on Back's 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:54.760 rangy cool wage Yeah you gation. So as long as 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.079 I've been doing this podcast, I've been trying to get 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:03.000 this elusive guest, and I've been going through all the 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.840 right right channels to try to get you. And finally 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.440 I'm so happy, man, I'm so happy I finally got you. 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.359 Finally said guests to be a guest on this podcast, 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:18.120 my one and only middle brother, Thank you and Tyler 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.679 what thank you for having me? Yeah? Can we talk 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.359 about the show you're on. Is that something we can't 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.000 talk about? Yeah, I can talk about certain things. Okay, 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:36.000 Tyler was on recent season of the Bachelorette, and we 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.760 don't have to talk about specifics of that show, and 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.880 you might not even be able to, but that's interesting 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.640 how you went into the Bachelorette, how you were picked 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:51.240 for the Bachelorette, and how you approached it. And people 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.920 listening to this podcast might not even watch that show, 0:03:55.720 --> 0:04:01.839 but it's interesting how you approached that whole project. And 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:03.680 for those of you all that don't know, and most 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:12.440 probably don't, Tyler is just a vocious is that a word? Vocious? 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:18.560 Ferocious reader? You have? You have an entire wall in 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.200 your office that's nothing but books, and most of the 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:29.600 books are related to succeeding in life in some way, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:38.440 whether that's physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Most of the reading 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:43.360 right all right? Well? And self yeah, personal development, personal development. 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.400 So because of you read so much, you have become 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:53.320 just a walking encyclopedia of self help advice. And whenever 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.400 I need something, you'll usually throw out some one liner 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.680 that's I'm like, man, what or did you hear that 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.720 that's incredible. And you'll say, I don't know some one 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.400 of these books. Sometimes you even you don't even remember 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.839 where it came from, which is awesome. You kind of 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.200 like Bernie, who we had last week. You have a 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.400 You're very regimented in your life, and your success has 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.960 come because of the discipline that you grew up with 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:27.560 playing football. You played college football at Rice, and you 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.960 took that discipline into life in a lot of ways, 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:39.120 and you have a You are very uncommon amongst most 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.599 humans that I know. I promise I'll let you talk. 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.440 But in the ways in terms of you wake up 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.600 at what time? Five? You wake up five every day, 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:56.200 seven days a week. Yeah, well sometimes on the weekends 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.960 I don't, but I'm trying to. And you go to 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.240 bed at what time? Which is probably what this is 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.000 what makes you more uncommon. It depends. Last yesterday, for 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.640 whatever reason, I was really tired, so I went to 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.080 bed at eight. I just listened to my body. But 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.240 usually he went to bed at eight, And usually it's 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.680 usually I'm in bed by nine, fall asleep by nine thirty. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.520 But it's never when I'm on my routine, it's never 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:23.640 later than ten. Yeah, so I don't. I don't think 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.640 anyone listening to this podcast. I'd be willing to bet 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.479 that anyone besides the people that have a job that 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:35.240 works all night. I don't think anyone went to bed 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.160 at eight o'clock last night that's listening to this podcast 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.039 except for you. Not unless you're four years old. Three 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.800 years old. Yeah, Oneon and Lincoln stay up later than 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.240 I do. Yeah, my kids stay awake later than you do. 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:57.640 So you approached a batcheorette with this mentality of I'm 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:02.240 going to I'm going to attack this opportunity as a 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:06.520 as a way to grow as a man, as a person, 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.560 and some people might be listening on what like that. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:10.960 That doesn't even make any sense. You can go to 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:15.560 a bachelorette, this reality show to become a better man, 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.920 and that's not really the way you approached it. You 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:24.720 approached it as I'm going to I'm going to really 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.440 put myself and test myself at the limits of my 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:33.240 social capacity in that kind of environment. Right, m So, 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.960 how did you including COVID and the quarantine, how did 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:42.200 you how did you approach the bachelorette? How did I 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.960 approach it or why did I go well? For for instance, 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.720 I told I told everyone, you're a huge reader. You 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:52.480 have this schedule, extreme schedule that you keep. You time 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.880 block your day, Like even to get on this podcast, 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.280 like I had to get it to the minute because 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.040 I know you and you you have your time blocked 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.680 and then certain time you you do certain things. And 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.680 so to go into a show where you're not the 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.720 boss of anything was a huge mental challenge for you. 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.600 So you didn't have your books, you didn't have your routine, 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.320 you didn't have your meals you eat the same thing 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.760 every day. You didn't have your everything that you have. 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.880 So how did you how and why did you approach 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.560 it that way? Or why did you even accept it 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.040 at all? I mean, obviously it wasn't a good wife, No, 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:32.920 that was part of it. Yeah, of course it was. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.640 You know, if I'm being honest, you know it's I 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.199 went on there because you know, I'm I'm single and 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:42.720 I'm looking right. So I didn't know Claire who was 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:48.559 a bachelorette personally obviously, but she was a bachelorette and 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.960 I was like, well, let's go see, like maybe maybe 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.320 this could work, right, So that's one of the reasons 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.040 I went. But the other main reason I went was 0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:00.960 to get out of my comfort zone and to experience 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:06.040 and experience, right, you know, experiences in life are a 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:11.640 big deal to me, and you know, twenty twenty, that 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.920 was my experience, was being on the biggest TV show 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.520 in the world, Right, So I'm looking for that experience 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.280 for twenty twenty one, kind of have something that defines 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.160 each year, and that was kind of a big part 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.400 of twenty twenty for me. So that's why I went. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.880 But yeah, I was. I was in the middle, like 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.200 of my longest streak of personal development as far as 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.800 you know, every day five am and working out really 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.680 great shape. And it all had nothing to do with 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:41.400 the Bautrurette. I was just that's just how I was living. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:43.720 But yeah, I was on like one hundred and twenty 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.160 seven days or one hundred and twenty nine days in 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.920 a row on a streak of doing my meditation app 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.040 called Calm, Right, So when they took the phone, that 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:58.360 was kind of a hard deal for me. I of 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.640 course continue doing meditation, but there's something weird in the 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:06.800 human mind with streaks. You don't want to break the streak. Yeah, 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.400 it's just weird how that it works. If any of 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.600 y'all listening, or if you ever had a streak of 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.800 doing meditation every day and and you physically actually like 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.920 you know, I think Jerry Seinfeld had like a calendar 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.959 of something he was doing, and his philosophy was, if 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.760 you cross it out every day, you see that visual 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.120 of that streak, and you don't want that streak to stop. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:27.800 And so when that stopped, that was a little hard 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.360 for me to break that yeak, you know, when I 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:31.640 got my phone back and I was like, I got 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.199 to start over from day one, even though I was 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:37.600 still meditating, it was, Yeah, it was hard. Yeah, I 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.559 have a my speaking of day one. You said day one, 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.360 But that's the name of my app I use for journaling, 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.280 and it tells you every time you pull it up 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.360 whenever you finish a journal it says, congrats, you're on 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.520 a forty three day streak and has a little little 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.360 fire emoji. And I have a lot of things that 0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:00.520 do that. My cameo app, like when I do for 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.840 other people, it always tells me. The first thing it 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.000 tells me is the streak I'm on, the streak of 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:10.080 cameos that I've done without mit letting one skip. Yeah, 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.400 I'm on today's day fifty four for seventy five hard 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:19.640 Andy Forsella's challenge. So what is seventy five hard? I 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.600 think last time I was on the podcast, I was 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:26.480 doing it, and it's every day for seventy five days. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.480 It's more of a mental challenge than anything. That's the 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.560 most important thing for people to realize that it's not 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:35.240 a physical challenge, although you'll definitely see dramatic physical results. 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:39.320 But it's shout out to Andy Forsella for this. If 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.520 y'all are listening, go check it out. But it's every 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.760 day for seventy five days in a row. You do 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:50.720 technically six things, technically five, but at six. It's drink 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.959 a gallon of water every day, work out for forty 0:11:53.960 --> 0:12:00.480 five minutes inside every day, work out outside every day 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:08.080 for forty five minutes, no cheap meals, no alcohol, and 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.080 a progress picture every day and if you skip or 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.000 forget any of those then you have to start over 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.200 from day one. So it's literally it's just a mental 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.240 it's just a mental challenge accountability, you know. So Parker, 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.280 for instance, was on day like fifty and when I 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.680 made him do it, finally got him to do it. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.600 I can't stress enough that everybody should do it, but 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.359 not everybody will and that's why it's, you know, uncommon. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:35.360 But Parker missed his progress pick forgot to take a picture, 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.559 so Hey stopped and I was like, dude, when you 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.720 gonna do it again? You can't just stop at day fifty. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.080 You'd be like, well, I didn't do it, you know, 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:46.320 So did he? I don't remember, didn't when he missed it, 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:47.800 so he had to start over from day one, and 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.360 he didn't start over. So I'm trying to get him 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:54.000 to do it again. So in order to achieve extraordinary goals, 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.200 you have to be able to do extraordinary things in 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:02.240 your daily life. Really misunderstood for a lot of people 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.840 just want success or they want to they want to know, like, 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.800 what's the secret to success? Well, it's it's in every 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:13.559 minute of your day doing things that are uncommon. Why 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.080 do you choose to live like that? Because you've done 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:25.920 this for years now. Yeah. To someone that would say 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:30.080 how about this, someone that says, dude, lighting up? Man? Yeah, 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.680 just RelA man, have a cheeseburger. Come on, man, live 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.800 a little bit. You ain't living. One of my biggest 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.880 fears is mediocrity and average. It's one of my biggest fears. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.920 So every day I try to do things. One of 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:49.959 my ultimate goals, like life purpose is the real, relentless 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:55.200 pursuit of my ultimate potential to be become everything that 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.280 God intended me to be. So you know, whenever I 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.280 do look and that doesn't mean that I don't know 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.840 how cheeseburgers are sleeping where I'm human and I've gone 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.520 through streaks of doing that. After the Bachelorette. You know, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.959 it was hard when I came back, you know a 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.520 lot of things emotionally and mentally, like you know, not 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.440 expecting to come back when I did. And you know, 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.200 because I'm I want to win and I want to 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.800 be number one and everything whatever that means. So as 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.960 you're wearing a shirt that says I am second, right, right, Yeah, 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.600 I struggled. I struggled with my ego all the time 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:29.200 and my faith and Christianity. That's a whole nother conversation 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:34.520 of trying to put God first always. But yeah, it's 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.600 it's just a decision every day. You know, I don't 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.840 want to get up at five am. It's really hard, right, 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:45.160 So doing hard things builds self confidence, you know, keeping 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.479 the promises you make to yourself, and belief in yourself, 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.800 and grit and perseverance and consistency and all those things 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:56.280 that essentially I study, like you said, successful people, you know, 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.440 from Jesus all the way to you know, modern day 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.600 successful businessmen and singers, and I try to. I'm a 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:08.160 big advocate on habits, good habits and replacing bad habits, 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.680 and just basically, you know, the cheat sheet to life 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.120 is what is that guy doing that I admire and 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.360 copy what he's doing, you know, and then success shows 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.760 up in your life in different ways. Yeah. And I've 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.080 been on the other side too, you know, the drinking 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.880 and that eating whatever I want. And I'm just saying 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.600 that I've done both, and I prefer this version of 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:33.440 me like so much better. But it's easy. It's like, yeah, man, 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:34.840 I wish I could have a drink tonight, and I 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.360 wish I could have three or four drinks right and 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.800 play video games or something. And you know, of course 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.000 I will again, you know, but not right now. I'm 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.360 doing seventy five hard and it's the majority of my life. 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.000 If I can do this, then I'm going to do 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.480 it for sure. Is that kind of what encompasses your 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:56.280 take a cold shower theory two. Yeah, it's the hard things, man. 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.760 It just really like nobody wants to do a cold shower, 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.720 nobody wants to get up at five or early. And 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.360 if you do it, then that little trigger in your 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.360 minds like I'm doing things that other people aren't doing, 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:06.840 and so I'm going to get things that other people 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:11.440 aren't going to get. Right. It's pretty simple. Yeah, yeah, 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:18.480 that's awesome. That's awesome. I want to answer some questions 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.880 if you can from people, and these aren't specifically to you, 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:25.080 but I kind of found several that I think are 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:30.800 relevant to your life. And it's just really cool because 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.440 you know, I sit in here and then do this 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:38.720 podcast every Monday and answer people's questions, which, by the way, 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.240 it's if you have a question, email Grangersmith podcast at 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.320 gmail dot com. Anything could be any topic. But it's 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:47.880 interesting because I sit in here and then the one 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:52.160 office over is you every day, and you're a guy 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.640 that has so many resources to be able to answer 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.160 all these questions, and it's rare that you're actually on 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:03.000 the podcast. One you're just uh, you time block and 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.920 you're you're busy and two we we've been kind of 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.760 worried about the Batcheorette for many months. I don't worry, 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.800 just making sure we do the right right protocol and 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:16.119 and all that. So I need to make sure we 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.240 clear it with them. Yeah, so let's jump into h 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:24.160 question number one. This comes from Marshall Warren from Tacoma, Washington. 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.480 Shout out to Tacoma, man, I wish I'm missing Tagoma 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.720 Dome was one of Tacoma Dome, man, probably my favorite 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.320 show you've ever done, maybe, so I agree. That was 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.120 just such an incredible venue. Incredible. We were on tour 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:39.000 with Florida Georgia Line. We had all our buddies there. Yeah. Right, 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.560 that's when you wrote happens like that. I wrote happens 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:47.280 like that. Yeah, it's uh. That was Andy Albert's birthday 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.560 co writer friend. We're in the parking lot, which we 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.800 wrote never too Old and happens like that with Tyler 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:57.080 Hubbard FG. Yeah, Jordan, Andy and Justin right. Yeah, and 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.879 that that venue, Takoma Dome is all wooden, like the 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:04.040 Wooden Dome, oh man. And it was so loud in there. 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.560 I missed Washington State good fans there. So shout out 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.920 to you, Marshall. Marshall says, I've been a fan for 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.760 a long time and saw you once in Human Claw, 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:19.880 which was the Wolf Show. Right maybe, so yeah, he says, 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:21.280 I hope that you get to I hope that I 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.520 get to go see you more. I wanted to ask 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.600 for some input. I have a great job, but I've 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.959 been thinking about wanting to make some investments lately. And 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.600 I'm not talking about just some stocks. I just I 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:35.600 want to go to more small I want to go 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.439 more into a small business. But I have no idea what. 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.000 I have an eighth month eighth month old son, and 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.639 my fiance is a stay at home mom, So I 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:45.720 can't just leave my job and take any big risk 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:47.520 right now. I would love to hear what you have 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.879 to say, thanks, and I hope to hear back from you. 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:57.280 So he's looking to keep his same job and he's 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.240 wanting to make some investments on the side, and I 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:05.080 already know what you're gonna say. You do. Yeah, So 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:09.680 it's one hundred percent, without a doubt. Books knowledge read 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:14.080 every day. That's an investment in yourself. It's an eight 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:17.639 dollars book, twenty dollars book, whatever it is. But it 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:19.959 could be priceless. I could give you, you know, what 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:23.280 you'll find in books, you know, not only building all 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.600 those character traits and and you know, belief in yourself 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.760 and self confidence, but you know, seek out what you 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.040 think you might want to do. If it's not stocks, 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.040 if it's real estate, invest in you know, businesses, whatever 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:38.560 it is. Find books that cater to to where you 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.440 think you might be leaning, and just dive in man 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:42.480 every single day. So where would he start? What book 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:48.119 would he start with? What? It's hard to tell if 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:49.879 he if he's not calling out that he wants to 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:54.679 do real estate or or not, but probably Miracle Morning, right, 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:57.600 Miracle Morning by how l Rod started it all For me, 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:04.359 I would definitely I recommend Miracle Morning. Marshall, Poor Marshall's like, 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.360 that is not what I was asking. What investors when 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:09.240 you make an investment and you're asking me to invest 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:13.840 in myself. But it's the right advice, right, it's the 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.119 right advice. You invest in yourself first. Yeah, nothing happens 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:22.639 without you know, investing in yourself first. Yeah, I believe 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.280 Tyler's right. And so it's a backwards way of answering 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.000 your question. I know, it's not the answer you're looking for. 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.320 But if you're here, you are. You got your fiance, 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:34.560 you got a baby at home, you've got a good job. 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:39.000 You're probably pretty young. I would assume you're in you're 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:42.960 in your twenties or low thirties. And Tyler's right. The 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:47.760 best investment you could make is the time donating time 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:50.760 back to yourself. So where do you find the time. 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.800 I'm already busy. I go to work at seven am. 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:56.640 Then you got to wake up at five. That's where. 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.399 That's where the early mornings, and that's why why most 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:05.800 success askful business people wake up early. The usual reason 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:10.879 is you're getting up before your your kid and your girl, 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.679 and that's when your phone is not being bombarded by 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:18.159 text messages yet or phone calls or emails. So you 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:24.159 have time, uninterrupted quiet time to invest some way or 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:28.000 form in yourself. So, whether that's literally, whether that's reading 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:36.440 reading the New Testament, or or studying real estate, or heck, 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:42.040 even even reading some kind of fiction is good practice 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:46.000 for you setting aside time and investing time in yourself. 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:51.920 And then what's going to happen, Marshall, is this opportunity 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:55.080 that you're asking for financial advice is what I'm thinking 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:56.920 you're asking for. I know that's what you're asking for. 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:02.280 So investing in yourself will open doors that you didn't 0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:05.600 even realize. And it might maybe it's real estate. And 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:09.480 by reading, by reading, or in investing time in yourself, 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:14.480 suddenly you're going to find the opportunity to meet somebody 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.240 that's maybe the fixer upper or you know, that does 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:19.400 construction and homes and they're like, man, I got this 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.720 got this apartment complex and I'm looking to looking to 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.760 sell a few units. Would you be interested in investing 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.760 in a few units and then and I could manage 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:30.520 it for you and I could fix it up anyway. 0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:33.560 That kind of opportunity you could be You could have 0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:35.560 already been reading and preparing and then you go, you 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:37.880 know what this is. This is exactly what I need 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:40.240 to be doing right now. So yeah, I'm going to 0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:45.320 echo Tyler Miracle morning, how you're actually hopefully he's going 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:47.560 to come out to the farm and shoot some guns. 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:52.480 I was talking to his buddy, part of a mastermind 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.760 called Go Abundance today and he was telling me how 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:57.719 he lives in Austin, so hopefully we'll get him out 0:22:57.760 --> 0:22:59.800 here yeah, but it's really quick to add to that. 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:04.200 It's all about action, like Marshall, Like, you know, I'm 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:07.040 I do real estate. Those are the investments that I do, 0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:10.359 some of them, but you know I did. It's all 0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:12.280 about action. You have to take action and you'll figure 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:14.960 out along the way, along the journey, and never the 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:17.120 journey never stops. Like you know, I have a commercial 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:21.760 unit and I have you know, a quadplex and some 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:24.439 single families and that sort of thing. But I was like, 0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:27.119 I don't really like commercials, so I'll probably sell it, 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:28.560 you know, But I didn't know that when I bought it. 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:30.040 But I wouldn't have known that if I didn't buy 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:32.960 it and take action. So and then the morning, like 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:36.000 Grangeer was saying, is is important for me because like 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:39.040 all the all the reasons he mentioned, but also because 0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:42.280 you will power you lose it throughout the day. You know, 0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:44.320 we're all guilty, we're human. You have the most will 0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:46.880 power right when you wake up, right and so that's 0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:49.480 when that's my miracle morning. That's that's the time when 0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:53.800 I'm most productive. You know, when four three, two three, 0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:55.720 four o'clock rolls around and then the end of the 0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:58.480 work day five o'clock dinner. All I want to do, 0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:00.560 and what I do a lot of time is watched 0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:02.159 my favorite show. And then that's why I go to 0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:06.200 bed early, because I know that just watching the next 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:08.880 episode of Netflix isn't going to be productive for me ultimately, 0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:11.240 so I'd rather go to sleep early and wake up early. 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:14.320 So yeah, Tyler always kind of pushes me on that too, 0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:18.560 that no decisions should really be made. I would say 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:23.960
