WEBVTT - There’s A Glitch In The Matrix | Luke Belmar 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.240 How do you build wealth as an immigrant and turn 0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:05.600 it into multi eight figures? How do you start from 0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:08.440 zero coming from another country in just a. 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:09.039 Short period of time. 0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:11.239 And that is the topic of the conversation I am 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:15.120 having today in this interview with no other than Luke belmhar. 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.560 He's somebody that will change the way you think about 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.320 money completely, how you build wealth. He's young, He's very young, 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.759 but he's very accomplished. He's turned the Internet and the 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.160 media world completely upside down, receiving over half a billion 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:30.280 views per month, talking about how to build, multiply and. 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.879 Preserve your wealth in this new digital age. He came 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:33.159 to the. 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.640 US from Argentine at sixteen years old with only two 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:37.120 hundred dollars in his pocket. 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.080 He hustled, He grinded his way to a multi. 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.480 Eight figure net work through digital marketing, E commerce and investing, 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.360 and now helps others do the exact same thing through 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.519 his new group called the Capitol Club. I had the 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.479 pleasure of speaking there a few months ago. In this interview, 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.440 we get into a lot of topics you need to build, grow, 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.040 and protect your wealth. We talk about things like how 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.440 did he build wealth after coming from nothing? 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:01.560 With it but at the age of sixteen, two hundred 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.000 dollars in a suitcase. 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.039 My I asked him about how someone else wanted to 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:06.840 follow the same path that he went on. 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:08.920 We'd go about making money like he did. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:13.160 How can you make money in the beginning, arbitrage, sales, 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.120 anything that you can get your hands on. 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.039 We talked about making money. We talked about how do 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.680 we multiply. We've talked about the investments. I asked him 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.640 how did he forty x his investments in crypto and 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:23.640 what did he do next? 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.800 So out of crypto, rotate the tech stocks. It only 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.440 made sense under undervalued, Meta, undervalued Shopify, which are the 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.200 only two stocks that I truly knew because I run 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.800 Facebook guys and I run Shopify, So I understand the 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.280 Q four reports of Facebook, and I understand the Q 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.320 four reports of Shopify undervalue. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.760 I wanted to know what his views were on what 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.280 people should be focusing on to be more successful. 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.080 I spent twenty years getting good at business. Now I 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:49.920 need to spend the next twenty years and that was 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:50.720 yet productive. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.240 And then we talked about how coming from a country 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.480 like Argentina shaped his view on money. 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.240 Crazy part is people need to understand that the money 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:03.840 system isn't just just an accounting system, it's it's a 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:04.720 tool of power. 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.520 We got into what he thinks about the new president Argentina, 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.920 what he sees as the future of technology, business and investing. 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:12.720 We started out talking. 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.240 About building community, providing value, and so much more. This 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.800 is a banger interview. You definitely want to get a 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:20.800 pen a paper out. You want to get ready for 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.840 a masterclass on starting from zero and building an empire. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:30.680 So let's go, all right, Luke Bellmaran the myth maybe 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:31.960 about to be the legend. 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.680 You're the legend, bro. Now you're you're you're definitely I'm 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:35.560 here in your studio. 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.840 Yeah, you're definitely the man in the myth though, the 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.240 guy behind the curtain. I love the I love the 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.680 scarcity that you do, where like you know, when you 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.160 first started hitting me up, I'm like, I don't even 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.600 know this guy is. I go look at your Instagram, 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.560 there's like nothing there. I look at your YouTube's like 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.760 there's no videos there, Like who is this guy? You 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.480 do everything very with with scarcity in the mindset. So 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.320 we're talking about right now, we'll just jump right into it. 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.640 We're talking about your community that you run, and talking 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.440 about how you limit that and create this scarcity for 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.360 the community, And you're talking about how, basically twenty five 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.040 hundred people per day get an invite to join, only 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.160 three hundred sixy nine people of the twenty five hundred 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:12.280 actually get in. 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:13.079 Correct, they don't. 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.520 If they don't win the race, they're out and they're 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.000 out for good. So you don't want to give them 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.320 another chance to get back in, even though that's certainly 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.320 hurting your bottom line. They miss their chance, they miss 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.480 their chance, and that's it. Because the value extends beyond 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.840 the money. It has to You have to build a 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.760 community beyond a financial metric. Right, So if you want 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.200 to build a loyal following, and if you want to 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.520 have a community that fucks with you, you have to 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.360 put them through things that challenge them. 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.800 You can't just hand over everything for free. You can't 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.800 just make everything easy and comfortable, because if you don't pay, 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.120 you don't pay attention, right, And if you get everything 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.000 for free, you're not going to valuate. And if you 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.240 see me all the time, then you're going to be 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:55.200 can think I'm normal. So familiarity breeds contempt. The less 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.520 you see me the better. So I limit my content, 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.800 but I maximize my distribution. So I figure out what 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.320 is like a Facebook a winning Facebook ad? You can 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.160 match that same thing with the concept of content creation. 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.960 So you have a winning piece of content. Perfect that 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.640 video gets a million views, that's a winning piece of content. 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.200 You've proven the thesis does. Are you only going to 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.320 limit that video to one million views? Are you going 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:21.840 to repurpose that video ten thousand times? So in twenty 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.200 twenty three, we posted almost one hundred thousand videos. Wow. 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.120 And that is the difference between me and everybody else 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.839 is with the one hundred thousand videos, I don't have 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.760 to focus on sending emails. I don't have to focus 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.119 on giving people a second chance because there's always new 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.320 inflow of individuals that are willing to actually go through 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.960 the three hundred and sixty nine process and sign up 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.360 before everybody else and join the community and become part 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:44.119 of Capitol Club. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:45.880 All right, hopefully you're enjoying this interview with Luke. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.600 I got to take a very quick break, real quick 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.039 to tell you that I am hosting a live event 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.240 where I'm going to show you how to seize the 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.039 upside of the FEDS, you turn, grow your investments in 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.880 twenty twenty four and sidestep market volatility. 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.000 I'm going to break down about twenty or thirty charts. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.880 You can see the actual data, see exactly what you 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.279 should be doing, when you should be watching, and so 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.080 much more. I'm going to be not only showing you 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.279 the information, I'm going to be taking all your questions live. 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.400 So join me, come hang out live. Let's get through 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.599 this data. Ask me all the questions you have. 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.440 Let's plan to get through this together so we can 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.359 all be on the winning side of this. All right, 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.039 let's just jump right back into the interview with Luke. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.480 If you think about email, email is a way one. 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.080 It's a way to own your list, right, so you 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:27.919 talk about rent the list versus own the list, So 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:29.520 it is a way to own the list. If you 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.200 were to get canceled on all the platforms, do you 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.320 have no email list, which is the problem. But it's 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.360 also a way to nurture the list. And so basically 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.320 you're saying, forget nurturing on email, I'm just going to 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.200 continue to nurture them online. Yes, one percent, And you 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.080 nurture them through short forms. So our long form is 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.560 when they know what you're about. Short forms, when they 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.599 know that you exist. So in short form, they know 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.040 that you exist. And then the continuous repetition of email 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:51.560 is what for you to be in front of people. 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:53.479 But that doesn't mean you have to be in front 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.520 of people via email all the time. So the question 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.080 is what do you use the email communication for. I 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.880 began perceiving email completely different than any other digital marketers 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.880 ever talked about email. So I consider myself. Let's say 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.960 I have my own kingdom. Right back in the day, 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.400 two thousand years ago, Alexander the Great conquered all of 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:15.000 the known world. Lukey great, not quite, but he clearly 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.000 didn't have the ability, the access, or the time to 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.599 go to every single governor, every single point of his 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:24.320 empire and proclaim his message. He had to send what. 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:28.839 Messengers, in this case emails, But what were they talking about? 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.200 The word of the king? Whatever he wanted to transmit, 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.479 it wasn't the messenger cooking up a message via email 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.560 marketing with a nice slogan on behalf of the king. 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:42.120 So every email that comes comes from me, I sit down, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:43.960 I write it, whether it's on my phone, whether it's 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.400 on my notes, and I send it to my team. 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.520 So the authenticity level that's attached the email, I don't 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.400 see it as email marketing. I see it as a 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.000 one on one communication with another individual. That's why my 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.359 email open rates with a quarter million follower list is 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:57.400 sixty eight percent. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.800 Now let's talk about I want I want to jump 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.120 back to the beginning, but I want to hammer this 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.200 point home. So that's cool for you, great job, Like 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.359 you can not let anybody in fifteen percent of the 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.600 amount of people in. What about people that don't have 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.320 that many people? I mean, how would you apply that 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.760 to something where you know you're trying. 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.120 To get fifty people to join? First, you need to 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.920 ask yourself is what I'm building or who I am 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.800 worth following or worth investing in? And it's a candid 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.800 conversation because you are in the marketplace where there's competitors. 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.440 There's people that are phenomenal, there's people that are excellent. 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.000 I mean you're in the finance space. You understand your competitors. 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.800 There's dudes out there that are extremely intelligent, really competent. 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.400 So you have to get to par be legit in 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.280 order to compete at that level. So I think initially, 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.400 before even conversing about building a following, it's are you 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.080 worth following? Right? So the reason you have so many 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.560 followers on YouTube is because your content is fucking phenomenal. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.440 The reason I reached out to you is because I 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.840 saw your bis world structure and I'm like, oh, financial structure. Okay, 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.080 this guy's quite intelligent. Now I know what he's about. 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.560 Let me go reach out to him. And that's because 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.360 you had substance. Most people are out here doing bullshit 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.400 stuff online. They have no substance, so they're not worth following. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.560 So first ask yourself, do I have a product worth 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.320 selling that people want? And am I somebody worth following? 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.240 If the answers know, then ask yourself who do I 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.240 have to become in order to become worth following. You 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.800 went through the fucking trenches. You went through oh wait, implosion, 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.160 you went through all the bullshit, you sold companies, you 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.840 listed companies like, you've done the whole nine. So now 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.640 you're in a situation whereby you actually have credibility in 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.600 street credit, validity to do what to actually be in 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.760 a situation whereby you can coach, you can teach, you 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.320 can build communities. You're worth listening to other people aren't 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.640 so I think before getting to that stage of hey, 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.960 why don't people listen to me, ask yourself, am I 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.040 worth listening to? And if the answer is yes, now 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.720 you need to start creating content. Content around what, content 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.480 around what you know? Become passionate about it and understand 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.520 that there's people that are there with you. And then 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.600 when it comes to how much content you need to produce, 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.480 I take a completely different approach than Gary b. Garybe says, 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.400 create content content content, no, no, no, create limited amount of 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.120 content that is high quality, no to convert and distribute 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.360 that to everybody that knows who or knows this niche 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:05.880 or this community. And if they don't know who you are, 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.280 they will. And it's a very different approach, a very 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.600 different format because instead of doing this shotgun approach a 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.880 million pieces of content, I'll take one winning piece of 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.920 content and distribute it to ensure that hundreds of millions 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.920 of people see it. If I know it converts, I 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:21.319 love that. 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.839 It's I know you worked with Andrew Tate and it's 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.680 sort of the message Entertate has about getting girls become 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.840 the kind of guy that a girl wants like, don't 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.000 just be mad about it. And so you're kind of 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:33.679 saying the same thing about your content, like become the 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.000 kind of person that somebody would be interested in. I 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.200 remember when I I think right around when I was 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.760 twenty or so, I just had this idea I need 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:44.920 to travel the world. And the reason why I wanted 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.360 to travel the world is I wanted to have a 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.320 bunch of stories because I wanted to be interesting. And 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.360 now I've spent I travel a couple months a year. 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:53.839 I've been doing that for decades now, and so it's 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.120 like but at that time, it was like I need 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.120 to go have experiences so I have things to talk about, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:00.920 and so buzz this deals that you do all of 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.120 those things. So it plays in what about when you 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.360 talk about the content the Gary V. So Gary V's like, 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:09.480 don't create document, just document what you're doing and not like, hey, 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.280 here's what I'm eating, but more like the lessons that 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:12.720 you're learning along the way is kind of what I 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.800 picked up from it. But you're talking about like creating content, 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.520 but you create content across a pretty wide niche or 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.960 not a niche, but really a wide group of subjects, 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.959 everything from stoicism to crypto to creating content to whatever. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.520 What do you think about starting niche down? Niche your 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.120 face off if you will. Then riches are in the 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.719 niches versus like being so broad like you are. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.600 So it depends on it depends on the niche that 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:41.000 you pick, and it depends on your objective. So, for example, 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.199 my umbrella approach is very simply everything's aligned. So if 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.680 you look at the people that are usually involved in stoicism, 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.280 they're also involved in the understanding of entrepreneurship or they 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.400 want sovereignty. So now the understanding of crypto and bitcoin 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.720 could tie into the idea of this autonomy. And then 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.560 bitcoin tinns into the concept of principles of being your 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.800 own merchant, managing your own money. That ties into okay, 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.720 now I have freedom of money. Maybe I want freedom 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.000 of employment. So now you begin to talk about that, 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.600 and now okay, well social media, who how can I 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.480 make money online? So what I try to create isn't 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.440 individual niches that are viewed individually. I try to create 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.959 a garden. So I create a garden for the community. 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.800 And how I view my community is very different to 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.240 how most people view it. Most people view the community 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.200 as a place where they're going to make money. So 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.880 how I view if it was a if my Internet 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.200 exposure was like a small little empire in the real world, 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.839 I would consider capital club or my community like the 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.800 Nile River. You don't take from the Nile River. The 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.480 Nile River exists. Your goals to preserve it. You build 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.320 your empire around the Nile River. So what are the 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.880 businesses that you're building around the community while nurturing and 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.520 sustaining the community. Most people fuck up the community. Most 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.400 people poison the river, most people destroy it instead of 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.440 building around it. So I have my beautiful community, great people, 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.439 top of the top. Now how can I empower them? 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:02.080 So empowering them through different experience, different events, different content 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.440 that I understand because I'm very similar to my audience 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.600 what I want, So I only talk about the shit 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.960 that I enjoy because I know we have, for example, 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.680 similar interests. We could sit down talk about stoicism, bitcoin, 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.280 crypto and entrepreneurship and that's it, and it's within our 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:19.040 niche and our range. So I try to become really 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.400 good at what I like and then share those things 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:22.840 to people that are similar to me. And it just 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.360 happens to be that my audience and my choice of 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.400 enjoyment is large enough, and it's becoming the future, like 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.439 e commerce and crypto, it's only going to get bigger, 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.400 and we just happened to be at the cusp of it. 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:32.959 So it works. 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.079 I love what you said about not taking from the 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.199 now river just building around it, and so I can 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.360 tell you know, the first experience I had was at 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.800 your Mastermind in Spain last year, and you've really built 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.640 this community of giving more than you're taking. So you 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.640 use the word empower, and that's the ultimate we're trying 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.520 to do. And you're trying to like really think about 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.720 how can I cultivate or another relationship. And it's an 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.440 old sales message, which is if I help other people 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.080 get what they want. I think it was theigziglar. If 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:57.520 I help people get what they want, I get what 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.440 I want. And so you're kind of creating this system 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.280 that empower people to get what they want and then 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.120 ultimately then you can get what you want around it. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.800 And it's a long game, and I think most people, 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.040 let me get your comment on this, I think most 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.840 people can't play the long game. The majority of people, 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.560 I think are held back because they can't imagine working 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.319 for free. They can't imagine working for free. They're used 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.880 to a paycheck. Well, if someone's not gonna pay me 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.200 every hour, I'm not gonna go do it. And so 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.720 how am I gonna go work for months, months, or 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.120 even years without getting paid, hopefully to get it in 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:30.360 the end. 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.320 I don't know what your thought is on that. So 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.720 you know what I was talking about with Andrew on 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.000 the tesla coming over here in the car, and I 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.280 was like, imagine you're in year two hundred of the 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:46.640 four hundred year of Israeli slavery inside the Egyptian kind 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.240 of empire, where you have the story of Moses, or 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.760 you can even take when Israel gets captured and taken 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.520 into exile to Babylon, you have the story of Daniel. 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.240 What happens if you're born in year two hundred and 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:01.679 twenty seven of that slavery? No context of freedom, You 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.920 have no understanding of what it means to be autonomous. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.400 You have no reference point of working for yourself, You 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.440 have no reference point of making your own mind, you 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.080 have no reference point of sovereign currency. Because you're under 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.400 the thumb up your oppressor. People don't seem to understand 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.840 that that's where we are today. You're two hundred and 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.640 something years into an ecosystem that's been curated and designed 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:24.040 for slavery. So when you understand that you're one hundred 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.760 and something years into the syop, you begin to ask yourself, 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.040 why does it take ten years twelve years in order 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.200 for me to buy a house cash? That sounds kind 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.160 of slavish when a couple of years ago I just 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.520 would have to work two three years, and before that 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.600 it would take a couple months. What the fuck is 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.520 a thirty year mortgage? Now they're trying to come up 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.840 with fifty year mortgages. So I begin to evaluate all 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.560 these scenarios and I ask myself, where the fuck are 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.680 we going in the future. So to get it's not 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.920 so much an opinionated thing. It's more so I like 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:59.200 to observe things pragmatically and see them play out. What 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:00.960 I was saying is, do you do you think that holds? 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:02.760 You're taking a very long term approach. 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.720 Okay, I'm going to preserve the nile and I'm not 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.400 going to take from it, But I know if I 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.240 build around then and help people get what I want, 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.160 eventually I'll get what I want, and I was saying, 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:12.920 I think most people are held back by the fact 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:14.760 that they can't imagine working for free. 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.760 Yes, correct, So back to the point. So if you're 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.080 in year one seventy six of slavery and all you 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:21.920 know is that you're going to work and in return 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.040 you're going to get a paycheck, then that's the default 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.200 mindset that you're going to hold. No labor is going 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.000 to be put forth unless you're able to see a reward, 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.200 and most people can't see a reward in front of 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.080 their like if it's right here, they don't see the 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.880 dollar sign right here, they're not going to do it. 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.080 They're risk adverse. They don't understand that they have truly 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.680 nothing to lose, but they're not willing to take any risk. 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.200 So I think the big discrepancy as to why individuals 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.560 aren't willing to take the risk, or why individuals are 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:52.320 in a situation where they have this kind of potentially 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:56.240 slave mindset, to me, has to do with nurture, how 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.800 they grow up, the school system, how they're educated, and overall, 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:03.560 I think is a cultural experience of hundreds and hundreds 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:08.720 of years of systematized cheating that's been done on people 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.400 to extort them for their time, their energy, and their effort. 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.200 If you look at how the FIAT system was created, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.520 it wasn't created to empower people. It's created to steal 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.880 from people. So if you begin to realize that this 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.600 is kind of like a slavery model that's imposed on everybody, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.760 you can kind of shake away from it, or at 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.200 least observe it from a third party perspective, it may 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:25.920 be beneficial. 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.880 Let's jump back to the beginning of Luke Belmar. So 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.360 from what I know from your story, you're some poor 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.480 little kid from Argentina that came to the United States 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:35.560 with a hundred bucks in your pocket. 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:37.120 Two hundred bucks. 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:43.080 You know, a lot of what we become is from 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.120 where we came from, and so a lot of that 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.320 is cultural, educational. And I mean today, right now in 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.360 the United States, we're seeing millions of people coming up 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.800 from Venezuela and Argentina and South America coming up and 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.480 I don't think they have the same mindset as you. 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.440 So I'm curious what was that, Like why did you 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.960 come up here? And how did you over two hundred bucks? 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:02.840 And like how did that work out? 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.520 Yeah, so age of sixteen, I graduate from high school. Thankfully, 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.840 my parents put me in an English speaking school. It 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.359 costs three hundred dollars a year, so I was able 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.479 to learn not the colloquialisms and the specificities of English. 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.159 I think I adopted this. I've also been in America 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.040 for over a decade at this point in twenty eight 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.120 and arrived when I was sixteen, so I was able 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.280 to learn the language and get quite eloquent with it. 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.119 But at the age of sixteen, two hundred dollars in 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.919
