00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:16,439

00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Good Mom's Bad Choices.

4
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm Erica and I'm Nila, and it's Wednesday.

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 3: It's hump Day, bitches.

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: Another Wednesday. Remember when we used to put our show

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: out on Mondays?

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: No, yeah, that never was a thing.

9
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: Yes it was.

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 3: No, we moved our show date. No, the very first

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 3: post we have it says hump Day.

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: It was Monday.

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: I'm going to scroll all the way back to the

14
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: beginning just to prove to you.

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that we moved it because we realized

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 1: that it was not a good podcast day.

17
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: I remember, I did not recall that. I remember always

18
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: being hump Day.

19
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: Do you remember. No, we actually then started calling it

20
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: hump day because we're like, oh, this makes more sense.

21
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: Do you remember when we were Parental Advisory Good Mom's

22
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: Bad Choices.

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: That was dumb. It was that was a lot of words.

24
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: And we only did that because we the Thick Podcast

25
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: had like remember Tabria's podcast, she had a like she

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: had like a like a line before the Thick Podcast.

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: So we were like, this must have us see how

28
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be.

29
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 3: And then we made that long ass email called Parental Advisory.

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: G NBC at gmail dot com. Please don't email that email, please,

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: it's not gonna get checked anyway. How are you, darling,

32
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm good. It's rainy in La. It's been raining and

33
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: raining and raining, and I love it. Everyone's like freaking out.

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean, granted, my roof isn't leaking, so you know,

35
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: that's that's the blessing. I think a lot of people

36
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: are freaking out because there's a lot of shit going

37
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: on in their backyards and things. But I really like

38
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: the rain. I feel like it's a like a renewal,

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: renewal and God knows, La needs to.

40
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: Be washed washed if it sins, I know, just green, Yeah,

41
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: we know, dry as how I like it too. I've

42
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: made every cold season recipe that I know so far.

43
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: I've made chili, I made mansa ball soup what Jewish woman.

44
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: Sometimes I like luck because too, okay after I've made

45
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: mashed potatoes on maltcas.

46
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: This is some Valley girl shit for sure, but no.

47
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: I enjoyed. I enjoy it watching movies, making hot chocolate.

48
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 3: My immediate like thing is like go to the supermarket.

49
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: So I've gone to the supermarket like three times in

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: the storm. But the lightsman out at the end of

51
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: the day, it's like this is new for lah.

52
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: So that's very Costa Rica.

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: That's what I was thinking. I was like, I left

54
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: the jungle to come back to the city jungle.

55
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: What the fuck?

56
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: I know.

57
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been enjoying. I'm good though, I'm good, I'm

58
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: feeling I'm did meditation today and I was really focusing

59
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: on being like bringing in the joy today because there's

60
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: things in my life that are a little stressing me

61
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: out a little bit. And I was like, no, bitch,

62
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: not today, and not tomorrow and not anymore.

63
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: I like that bringing in the joy. I feel like

64
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: that's necessary because as an adult can wake up and

65
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: immediately be with distress.

66
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: No, it was so I check my email and I

67
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: was like.

68
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of things to worry about,

69
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: but there's so much not to worry about. Yeah, I

Speaker 1: typically focus on finances, so what better way to focus

81
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: on finances than with loose And you have this new

82
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: book out, a Wealth Warrior, Eight Steps for Communities of

83
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: Color to Conquer the stock market, which you know can

84
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: be really intimidating. I think people hear the word stock

85
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: market and they're like, not for me, I'll figure it

86
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: out later, I know.

87
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: And I love that it's like eight steps to heal

88
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: your money, your money wounds, and claim your abundance. Those

89
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: are things we don't hear a lot, but I think

90
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 3: it's like so necessary to even acknowlogy you have money

91
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 3: wounds to begin with, to even like start to claim

92
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: your abundance. It's a whole like relearning and process. So

93
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: I love that your book addresses all of the things.

94
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you, It's been definitely a labor of love.

95
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: I think that my intention with this book is to

96
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: make the stock market a lot less intimidating, something that's

97
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: really important and that I think we should really pay

98
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: attention to is that the top ten percent, like the

99
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: top wealthiest people, own eighty nine percent of the shares

100
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: in publicly traded companies, and a lot of the reason

101
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: for that is because we don't have accessibility to resources

102
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: that make sense to us that we can process like.

103
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: It is very intimidating. It's like speaking an entirely different language.

104
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: And I've been studying it for such a long time.

105
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: I've done my absolute best to simplify it, and I've

106
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: seen so much money grow so effortlessly and easily via

107
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: the stock market. And we are in such an important

108
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 2: moment in time right now because we are in a

109
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: down market and shares are much more accessible right now

110
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: because they are cheaper. And I think it's for those

111
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: that are interested in the stock market. I think these

112
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: types of resources are so important and we just don't

113
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: have enough of them.

114
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm curious to know. I already know, But for those

115
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: of you who are just kind of listening and tuning

116
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: in and maybe have never been introduced to Loose Loose,

117
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: I would love for you to share, really like your

118
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: journey into stock market, because I feel like people think

119
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: that you know, you have to come in and you

120
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: have to be like super knowledgeable and like maybe you

121
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: come from finance or like these are things that you know,

122
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: you like grew up knowing, or you.

123
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: Took a college course and then you understood suddenly, Yeah,

124
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: well you.

125
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: Know, I'm going to start with this because I know

126
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: we love witchy things and just like finding connecting all

127
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: the dots and destiny and all of that space. So

128
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: I was I want to say, I was seventeen years

129
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: old and one of my high school teachers was taking

130
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: a group of students myself included, to New York and

131
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: I couldn't even afford the trip. My teacher fronted for

132
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: me to go to New York. On this trip, I

133
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 2: had twenty dollars and we were going to be there

134
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: for approximately seven days, So twenty dollars was supposed to

135
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: like purchase food for me. Granted, there were some meals included,

136
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 2: so from my perspective, I was like, all, just wait

137
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: until the next free meal comes throughout the trip and

138
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: I went, and I was so excited to be there.

139
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: They were taking us on all of these incredible tours,

140
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: and one of the tours was to see Sally Jesse

141
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: Rafael or to go to the New York Stock Exchange,

142
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: and I was like, I really want to go see

143
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: Sally Jesse Rafael, like I want to know what its

144
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: studio would look like like that entire TV experience. And

145
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: I got chosen to go to the New York Stock Exchange,

146
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: and I remember being so upset, and I'm walking into

147
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: this enormous building that is extremely intimidating, and I remember

148
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: walking in and just feeling the energy.

149
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: It's extremely masculine heavy.

150
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: I remember not seeing any women around other than the

151
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: students and the teachers, and we went to ring the

152
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,239
Speaker 2: bell in the morning, and I also remember very vivid

153
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: understanding that something really important was taking place in this

154
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: building that was impacting not only the United States, but

155
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: whatever was happening was also rippling out into the entire world.

156
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: Mind you, at the time, I was not living with

157
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: my parents.

158
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 4: I was a teen mom. I had a.

159
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: Three year old baby, maybe almost four at the time.

160
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: I mean I was It was a moment for me

161
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: to just be in the space coming from where I

162
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: came from, and so I really feel like that moment

163
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: almost gave me a glimpse or maybe foresight or planted

164
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: a seed into what would eventually come in the future.

165
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 4: I ended up.

166
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: Later landing, you know, a really big position at Netflix.

167
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: Big from my perspective, like coming from the hood, being

168
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: a teen mom, all the things.

169
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 4: And I was only.

170
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: The second Latina to be higher in the entire company.

171
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: Mind you, we had already launched in all of Latin

172
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: America and they didn't feel the need for like Spanish

173
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: speakers or anyone that understood that territory. So it was

174
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: just like a big deal for me to be there,

175
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: just like as a person of color. And I was

176
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: so nervous about the amount of money that I was

177
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: making because it was the first time that I was

178
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: making real money. I was working at a tech job

179
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: in Beverly Hills.

180
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 4: It was a big deal.

181
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: And I remember just like praying for guidance on this

182
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: money that was coming in. And simultaneously, I had this

183
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: white colleague who would come to my desk and pester

184
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: me about buying Netflix stock, and I was like, what

185
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: the fuck would this guy like? You know, I was

186
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: so intimidated by him, and he would just like throw

187
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: this stock market jargon and I think he could tell

188
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: like how I would shrink, like I can't have this

189
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: conversation like and we don't talk about the stock market.

190
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: That's that's your world, bro, not mine, you know, And

191
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: he was just so persistent, and looking back, I realized

192
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: like that he was what I was praying for. Really,

193
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: like that's what I was praying for. And he was

194
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 2: so patient, showed me his portfolio, which I'd never seen,

195
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: like a million dollar portfolio like that another human owned,

196
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: you know, and very transparent, and started to explain, like,

197
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,599
Speaker 2: you're in tech, so you understand you have this unique perspective.

198
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,239
Speaker 2: You need to be taking advantage of this and investing

199
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: into Netflix stock. So it took him about, I want

200
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: to say, a solid six months to convince me. I

201
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: finally started investing. I invested two hundred dollars a month,

202
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: and after a year, I saw that money pretty much

203
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: double itself in just one year. So I saw, you know,

204
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it grew exponentially, and I thought to myself,

205
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: this is wild. I'm going to double my money. Instead

206
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: of taking two hundred a month, I'm going to take

207
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: four hundred a month, which was a pretty big expense

208
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: for me at the time because the way I was

209
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 2: calculating it in my head was like, this is like

210
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: a car payment that I'm making into the stock But

211
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: I started to really become a student of our get.

212
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: I wasn't tapping him for resources. I just read books

213
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: and really to understand what it is that was taking place,

214
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: because the way money was growing so effortly and easy

215
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: was something that I'd never experienced. I mean, I come

216
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: from you know, immigrant parents that had three four jobs.

217
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 4: Just to sustain the household.

218
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: So I computed, you know, you have to work really

219
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,359
Speaker 2: hard to make a lot of money. And what I understood,

220
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: and what the stock market taught me, is that you

221
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: really need to understand how to let go of money

222
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: and invest it in order to make a lot of money.

223
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 2: Working more does not equate making more money. So that's

224
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: kind of how this journey started. I invested in and

225
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: around a total of nine thousand dollars, and I watched

226
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: those nine thousand dollars turn into half a million, and

227
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: I felt like I needed to share what I had learned,

228
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: not be a gatekeeper, and provide like digestible resources.

229
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 4: So that's kind of I mean, oh I got here.

230
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's so incredible that that a you

231
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: start like to go to New York. First of all

232
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: and and A have twenty dollars in your pocket. God

233
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: say yeah, no sorry not Jesse, sorry, Sally, Jesse Rafael,

234
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: it's not going to be this, but kind of give

235
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: you a preview, like a foreshadow, yeah, like into your future,

236
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: and like obviously you didn't even have a concept of

237
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: what was to come. And then the prayer and it's

238
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: showing up differently, and then we always talk about that too,

239
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: and like your prayers and your manifestations showing up not

240
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: exactly how you think they're going to show up, but

241
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: if you like really listen and if you really have

242
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: your eyes open, you'll I'll be able to catch them.

243
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't like their prayers are answered,

244
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: and they don't even they didn't even catch it. But

245
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: you said something about like letting go of money, like

246
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: not having fear around letting go of money, And I

247
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: think that that's really like I think what for many

248
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: people investing in the stock market and crypto and all

249
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: these different things, that's the fear is like it's like gambling.

250
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean for me, even like when I Vegas is

251
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: like not my thing, It's never been my thing. The

252
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: idea of like giving my money away in hopes that

253
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to get it back. I mean, obviously Vegas

254
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: is a different type of gambling, but even the stock

255
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: market feels like a gamble. I think for a lot

256
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: of people where you feel like this is this really

257
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: does this really work? How do I know like what

258
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: to invest in? Or you know, if I give it

259
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars, like is it just going to disappear?

260
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: And you know, feeling like does my whole life have

261
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: to now be the stock market once I started? And

262
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: I have to check every every day all day, Like

263
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: how does that even work? Do I have to like

264
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: be super invested in order to see my my wealth grow?

265
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: And like when can I take it out? Can I

266
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 3: take it out? Can I like not take it out

267
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: for two years? Maybe I'll never get it? Or like

268
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: it's this like this idea of this like fantasy, untangible world,

269
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: because like literally I feel the same way about gambling,

270
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: Like I'm not a Vegas bitch. I'm not going to

271
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: go put some money down and hope like no not,

272
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: I'm not putting my heart o money and then like

273
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: hoping it triples. But like I think the difference is

274
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: it's like that's a real gamble when this is an

275
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: actual investment, but that they're both feel intangible in ways

276
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 3: like you may you may feel it, you may not,

277
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: and so it feels like super scary and like not

278
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: even that, like, you know, Black History Month just passed.

279
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: But I took my daughter to she she was she's

280
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: in a dance a dance school shut out to Heart

281
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: dance School, and they asked her to be in this

282
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 3: Black history lessons in Black History like performance while we

283
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: were in Costa Rica. And I guess the portion of

284
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: the part of this is a long story, just a

285
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 3: portion of it is they they cover the Birmingham bombings

286
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: and you know, little girls die, like a lot of

287
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: people died. So she calls me, she's like, I don't

288
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: want to be in it because it's scary. And I'm like, yeah, word,

289
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: it is scary and I remember learning about it. And

290
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: you know, she's eight, and it's just like such because

291
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 3: they're on the same age, the girls in the church,

292
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: and it's just like this this such dark history and

293
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: that like at some point you have to learn it,

294
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: and you're going to learn it. So we watched this

295
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: entire like two hour dance you know, performance, and there's

296
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: acting and they're singing and they cover like all the

297
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: great like all the great Black inventors, and they cover

298
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: like how we were stolen from Africa, And you know,

299
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: midway through, I'm just realizing, like I mean, not realizing,

300
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: but it's just a reminder the amount of like complexities

301
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 3: that it takes for us, for a lot of us

302
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: to be here. And like when you're when you're removed

303
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: from your culture and your language and these your safety

304
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: and money is not even something that you can earn

305
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 3: and you have no knowledge of it and there's none

306
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: given to you, and like that your power is taken away.

307
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: There are so many there's so much energetic complexities that

308
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: come with embracing finances, even in this time, even in

309
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: the freedom. So like a lot of the freedom and

310
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: the ability to get to that place is your mindset

311
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 3: and the energy around it, you know. And it's just

312
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: like historically when you're an immigrant or when you've had

313
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: like generations and generations of just negative energy with finances

314
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: and security, it is a very difficult concept to grasp

315
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: and to understand. And you do say, like someone comes

316
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: to your desk and you're like, yeah, bro, that's all

317
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: you you know, like that's what that's your thing, like

318
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: your dad, your daddy did that for you. But it's

319
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: like just understanding that this is also my right and

320
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: this is also something I can I can understand and

321
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: grasp the knowledge of instead of completely writing it off.

322
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: You know. It's just like historically it's been something that

323
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: we've been and not included in, so it's easy to

324
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 3: not include ourselves and just say fuck it, you know,

325
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: like this is the money that I put in the

326
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 3: bank and not even go down the route. But like,

327
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 3: luckily you had the insight and that pestering guy was

328
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 3: like you're blessing, Like hey, bitch, hey, how about now

329
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 3: you know? And then you actually taking the advice and

330
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: investing the money and like ending up with half a

331
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 3: million dollars. That's a huge discovery.

332
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 4: It is.

333
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: It is, And I think that I want to be

334
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: clear that I do think that the reason it's so

335
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 2: easy to compare gambling to the stock market is because

336
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 2: the lack of education that we have. So if you're

337
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: just investing without really having a full understanding of the

338
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 2: stock market, it is like a gamble. And it's two

339
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 2: part because you may not fully understand the company that

340
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 2: you're investing in, which makes it really scary, but also

341
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: you do not know how you are going to react.

342
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: One of my favorite.

343
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 2: Types of investments, or the reason why the stock market

344
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: is my favorite type of investment, is because I feel

345
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: like it is a window into my money wounds. The

346
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: market itself if we look at the way it moves erratically,

347
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: like up and down, that is just collective energy of

348
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: the most wealthiest people in the world, where the energy

349
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: is generating more money, losing money, generating money, losing money.

350
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 2: It's almost it's not almost. It is a direct reflection

351
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 2: of our emotions. So I find it really interesting for

352
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 2: me when I was really exploring my money wounds and

353
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: my personal money relationship. The reason I loved the stock

354
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: market so much is because it felt like a control

355
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: center where I was able to control my emotions, my

356
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: money story, and my narrative in real time versus some

357
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: elusive abundant experience where I could see abundant if I

358
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: saw a lot of food on the table, I could

359
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: see abundance, if I had a happy day.

360
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 4: I could see.

361
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: Abundance in so many different ways, but I was never

362
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 2: really getting to the root of abundance when it comes

363
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: to money like physical money and generating actual money in

364
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 2: the form of abundance, and the stock market really allowed

365
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 2: for me to do that, and so it's almost like

366
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 2: I use it as a let's say, you're trying to

367
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: get spiritually healthy in all facets of your life. It's

368
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: almost like the stock market for me is like my gym.

369
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: That is where I go and work out my emotional

370
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: money stories in my relationship in real time, and it

371
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: has helped me tremendously. And I think to go back

372
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: into the topic of being scared to let go of money,

373
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: we constantly talk about wealthy people being very greedy, and

374
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: I think what we fail to admit is that greed

375
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: isn't something that just exists with wealthy people. Greed is

376
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 2: something that affects every single person. It's like jealousy. You

377
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: can't escape it, you know, just because like they're just

378
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: because you don't have money, it doesn't mean you can't

379
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 2: feel freed. We one thousand percent can feel greed, And

380
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: so I think that's a really big misconception and I

381
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: think that to flip that not being able to let

382
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: go of money is a form of greed, even if

383
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 2: that is to invest in yourself. You still feel like

384
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 2: the money is better held in your hands, and you're

385
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: afraid to invest it in a summit. You're afraid to

386
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: invest in a course, You're afraid to invest in a vacation.

387
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 2: You're afraid to invest in whatever it is it's going

388
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: to improve you in the future. It's still a form

389
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 2: of greed per se if you can't let it go.

390
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 4: So it's such a laird topic, right.

391
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: Well, when you said you think, when I think about

392
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: greed and I think about investing in yourself, I can't

393
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,239
Speaker 1: help but think about our even our retreats that we do,

394
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: and how how you know a lot of women are

395
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: interested in coming to these retreats. We just did one

396
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: in Costa Rica. We have one in Mexico in July.

397
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: And one of the biggest things that we hear is like, oh,

398
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: I can't afford it, or I'll go on the next one,

399
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: or like I just I just can't, I just can't,

400
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: or it's too expensive. And granted, these are all real,

401
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: real things, right Like I'm not one to tell someone,

402
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, what their bank account looks like and what

403
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: their capacity is for a trip like that. But what

404
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 1: I do know is like when when people do you

405
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: do invest in yourself, like, it comes back tenfold. And

406
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: I've seen it. I've seen it with these women that

407
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: come and they say, you know what, I said, fuck it,

408
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: and I spent the money. And now I'm back home

409
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: and I feel so much more valuable. I have so

410
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: much more to offer. I got the raise that I've

411
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: been waiting for. Now I'm ready and activated to do

412
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: this or that, and that that idea really manifest in

413
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: all ways, whether it's investing in a tree, whether it's

414
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: investing in the stock market, whether it's investing in yourself.

415
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: For that course, like in order to evolve, in order

416
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: to grow, in order to expand, in order to make

417
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: more money, you have to be open to letting go.

418
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 3: Well, there's this perception of like, like you said, like

419
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: rich people are greedy or like I like, if you've

420
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: grown up and you don't have like an abundance of

421
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 3: you're like you have a perception of what rich people

422
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 3: are like. But the truth of the matter is is

423
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 3: like I even noticed, like even growing up with like

424
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: rich ass friends, it's like it's actually the energy of

425
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 3: not worrying about if it's coming. You're going, Like girls

426
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: spend it like all you're tripping, like I'll leave that

427
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: food there, you know, whereas like I'm like I'm taking

428
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 3: it home knowing damn well, I'm not going to eat it,

429
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: you know, like like I feel guilty leaving it because

430
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: like someone can eat this food or but like it's

431
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 3: actually the understanding that you let it go and that

432
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 3: it easily flows back to you. It's like a constant flow.

433
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 3: But are a lot of times we've we've labeled it

434
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: or perceived it as this like negative thing that it

435
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 3: almost feels for me. It's not almost I almost feel guilty,

436
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 3: like when I'm okay, you know, like oh my god,

437
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: like somebody else is not okay, but I'm okay now.

438
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 3: But you know what I mean, like working all this

439
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 3: time to get to that point, and then you're like

440
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 3: you're even you feel even weird being in the point

441
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 3: of which you work to be in because you've perceived

442
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 3: it a certain way. The other day, I was watching

443
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 3: a movie and I had this like brief thought and

444
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 3: it was crazy, like I don't know, they're supposed to

445
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 3: be in a rich place and like a rich home,

446
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, yeah, they're rich. They have

447
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 3: wallpaper that's my thought. I was like, oh, well, like, yeah,

448
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 3: they're rich wallpaper. But then I was like, I was like,

449
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 3: you can have wallpaper too, you do.

450
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: You do have wallpaper.

451
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 3: But I was just thinking for that brief moment, I'm like,

452
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 3: what are you thinking about? Why are you thinking this way?

453
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 3: And I was like you, I told myself, like, you

454
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 3: two can have wall of paper. But in my mind

455
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: I had written it off as this like very wealthy thing.

456
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: Something that I recently started practicing that you just reminded

457
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: me of is when I have those types of thoughts,

458
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: when I'm like airing, for example, let's just take the

459
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 2: wallpaper thing. Then I will be intent on like where

460
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: is it that I want wallpaper?

461
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 4: What is it that I want to wallpaper?

462
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: Where am I admiring abundance somewhere else that I can

463
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 2: bring into my life to make me feel like rich,

464
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: like that, you know when I walk into a room.

465
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 2: So for my abundance board, my vision board, it's a

466
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: compilation of little feelings that I've felt throughout the weeks

467
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: that make me feel richer, that make me feel elevated,

468
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 2: that I might not be thinking about had I not

469
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 2: just experienced them, noted them down and I'm making sure

470
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: that I'm bringing those experiences into my space.

471
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 4: I find it to be really helpful.

472
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: Where do you want wallpaper in your home?

473
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. I was taking like the bathroom, okay,

474
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 3: like the powder room. But it's so crazy how like

475
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: subliminal and subconscious those little thoughts are you like take

476
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 3: a moment to like dissect them, like what the fuck

477
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 3: are you thinking about? But I feel like I've those

478
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 3: moments have come up a lot recently, just because I

479
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: think you can tell me if you can relate to

480
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 3: this too loose. Is like our book is about to

481
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: come out, you know, and it's like a major accomplishment

482
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: to be able to like be a published author, and

483
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 3: you know, like it's a tangible source of something you

484
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 3: can see, it's black and white. It's like it's yours.

485
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: There's an expectation, there's possibly critics, you know, and like

486
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 3: just to be you know, like see my dream come

487
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 3: to a full manifestation and being a new world, like

488
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 3: a new literary world. It's like, oh shit, Like I'm

489
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 3: also I'm proud, but I'm also like there's also a

490
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 3: part of me that has that imposter syndrome, you know,

491
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: like do I belong here? And it's like, yeah, bitch,

492
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 3: you do because you're here. And it's also like just

493
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: knowing like there has to be such a special and

494
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 3: specific combination of people two for each of us to exist,

495
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 3: you know, like two people abound, two people around, two

496
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: people amongst two people had to come perfectly together to

497
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 3: make you. You know, like every every story, like the

498
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 3: fact like how your mom got here and how your

499
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 3: grandparents got here, and like the particular like combinations and

500
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 3: like worlds and energies that had to exist for us

501
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 3: to be created for just for these like these, like

502
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: I'm always really obsessed with stories, like the behind the

503
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 3: scenes stories of how things come to be, because a

504
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 3: lot of times it is so magical and like you

505
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: have a foreshadowing when you have twenty dollars for a

506
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: week and you're the stock market only for you to

507
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: be here and literally publishing and writing this full you know,

508
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 3: this your baby to the world about financial literacy. It's

509
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 3: just like they're so like you had to really come

510
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 3: into who you are and believe that you're that person

511
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 3: in order to deliver this to the world. And you're

512
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 3: just going to affect and change so many people's lives.

513
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: And it's like the sooner that we understand that our

514
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 3: voice and our gifts and our purpose is so particular

515
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: and special and like there's no other combination of people

516
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: that could produce these things. It's like we would have

517
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: spent so much less time worrying about, you know, for

518
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: where we're supposed to be and if we're like worthy,

519
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 3: and you know, it's a lot of like unlearning those

520
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 3: things to be present and to be like, you know,

521
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: come be in the moment and really like walk in

522
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 3: the door and like I'm that bitch. But it's just

523
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: like a lot of programming and reprogramming that comes around

524
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 3: accepting that you can have these things. You can have wallpaper,

525
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 3: you can write a book, you know. So I think

526
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 3: it's it's such powerful work that you're doing.

527
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: Thank you.

528
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

529
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: I mean I have to parent myself constantly, you know,

530
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: Like sometimes I wake up freaking out in the middle

531
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: of the night, Like I wrote a book about the

532
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: stock market, Like what if I'm wrong somewhere in there?

533
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: What if some white man comes and reads my book

534
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 2: and caris it apart?

535
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: Like I get I.

536
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: Constantly have to remind myself like this is my process

537
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: it is okay, like you know, but I feel like

538
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 2: that part of it, I don't know if that well.

539
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: I honestly, I hope that never ends because it means

540
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: that I am striving towards achieving things that are so

541
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: big that I perhaps never saw myself doing that. I'm

542
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: constantly having to remind myself you belong, you're here, this

543
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 2: is a new level of expansion, a new place you're

544
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: reaching for. So, but yeah, a lot of parenting goes

545
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: into it, for sure.

546
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's definitely moments for sure. I mean, I today

547
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: the joy like I had to like take myself down

548
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: and be like, it's okay, everything's going to work out

549
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: for me. With and we've talked about this on other

550
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: episodes with you about like you know where your money

551
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: wounds begin, and generally they begin in childhood and feeling like,

552
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: oh my god, like at some point something happened where

553
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: you began to fear money, began to fear like feel

554
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: like this idea of like that it's it's it's it's

555
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: not it's always gonna leave your hands or it's out

556
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: of your control. And you know, me and Mila, we've

557
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of big accomplishments this year between

558
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: you know, putting out this book, you know, doing our

559
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: fifth and sixth retreat in Costa Rica, opening up our

560
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: podcast studio that we're sitting in right now, buying we

561
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: actually just bought land in Costa Rica. And these are

562
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: all like really big investments, like the biggest investments. Taking

563
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: out a loan that we like fucked up, Like we

564
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: took out a really bad loan, and like now we're

565
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: really having to like learn hard lessons about money. And

566
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, some of these things have like triggered my

567
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: money wounds of feeling like, oh my god, like did

568
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: I fuck myself? Or like, am are we gonna be okay?

569
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 3: Go bankrupt? Podcast We're gonna go back to the living room.

570
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: Oh my that.

571
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: And so you know, I've had to talk myself off

572
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: bridges and ledges and and and also there's also this

573
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: thing that I have also so knowing that even though

574
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm still working on my money wounds, I know too

575
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: in my life and I think it is a testament

576
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: to my mom and her acquiring a lot of wealth

577
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: later on in my life, and also me going to

578
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: school with wealthy people that watching them spend their money

579
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: like and seeing that like there was no fear there,

580
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: and for some reason with me in my life, like

581
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: whenever I'm at my last dollar, something always comes through,

582
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: something always comes through that it's like we're gonna be okay, okay,

583
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: And and I just had to remember that even this

584
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: morning when I was like, bitch, are you got me

585
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: stressed out today? No, you're not. We're just gonna we're

586
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: just gonna talk through some things and just like make

587
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: sure you know, me and Meela on the same page

588
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: about what we have to do and like figure it

589
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: out from there. And also like money's on the way

590
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: at like literally it's on the way, so just chill

591
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: the fuck out, but like not spiraling out of control

592
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: and just being like, girl, you're doing amazing, Like look

593
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: at all these things you've accomplished. You accomplished them because

594
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: you've you've acquired the thing that you've been so afraid

595
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: of from the beginning, and you've been able to like

596
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: do make these purchases, invest and you know, and people

597
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: believe in your and your dreams and your ideas and

598
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: you have to like really be stand ten toes down

599
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: in that and you the fear will pop up and

600
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, what. You might make a bad investment in

601
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: the stock market and it might fuck up, and that's okay,

602
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: because that's how you learn not to do it again.

603
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: Just like this really terrible loan that me and Mila

604
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: took out. Like I'm like, okay, well I've learned my lesson.

605
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: Like I really need to ask a lot more questions.

606
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: I really need to send a lot more emails. I

607
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: really need to like have a lawyer look through the

608
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: contract before I fucking sign it, and not just trust

609
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: the invisible white man on the other end, and he is.

610
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 3: Going to lie to you blatantly, great face, he is

611
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: going to lie to you, like, straight up. I don't

612
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 3: think that that nice man on the other line the

613
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 3: side of the phone is not going to straight up

614
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 3: fucking light to you, because they do and they will.

615
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think this goes back to what you

616
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: were saying earlier in terms of investing into going to

617
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: Costa Rica and having a powerful experience and making the.

618
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 4: Space for it.

619
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: I think what we really need to understand and lean

620
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 2: into practice is when we let go of money, we're

621
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: also making space for more money to come in. The

622
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: tighter we hold on to the money that we have.

623
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: It's like, imagine your arms are full holding the money

624
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: that you have, instead of letting go, opening your arms

625
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: and releasing money to flow out and making the space

626
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: for money to come in. I can't tell you how

627
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: many times I've stepped out and just faith that something

628
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: is going to happen with no money, with no backup,

629
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 2: And every single time I do that, I am always

630
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: rewarded with multiple so much more money, like it multiplies

631
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 2: for me, and it's always incredible to witness. And also

632
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: that the concept of you know, you can you have

633
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: all of the experience where money has flowed in and

634
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: it has saved you. And I think it's important for

635
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: us to move into the space of it overflowing and

636
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: not like meeting the end of the wire, like instead

637
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: knowing that the wire is continuous and it goes on

638
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: forever and ever, so no matter how much is spent,

639
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: is always going to return. Literally, the belief that money

640
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: is you know, is like it's like in a pizza

641
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: pie versus its infinite. Is such a disservice to ourselves

642
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 2: because I think, especially I know you all as entrepreneurs,

643
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: you understand that you you are the creators of money.

644
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: You picking up the microphone being the creators of money

645
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 2: investing into land in Costa Rica, and you know what

646
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: that's going to return to you tenfold as you take

647
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: more communities out there. What that's going to bring, how

648
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 2: you're going to show up for community and like you

649
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 2: get to say, yeah, I have investments in Costa Rica,

650
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 2: Like how fucking dope is that? How many of us

651
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: get to say that? And then we get to hear

652
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: you all say that. You know, it gives it makes

653
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 2: it easier for us to be able to make those

654
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: same type of moves. So, yeah, that's awesome. Congratulations, that's

655
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 2: such a big that's such a big step. Thank you,

656
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: It's inspiring.

657
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: It felt really good. Thank It feels really good. Yeah.

658
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: I was looking through your book and I do I

659
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: love how how easy it is to really understand, you know.

660
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot of books around money

661
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: that feel really overwhelming, and there's a lot of words

662
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: that you feel like you have to google and then

663
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: like can I remember them? Do I know what they mean?

664
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: And your book really breaks things down. And I don't

665
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: want to say it's like stock Market for Dummies, because

666
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: I know that book exists and even that when I

667
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: think it's a little confusing, but it's like a it's

668
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: like a real person's guide to understanding, like from the beginning,

669
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: and you have this chapter where you talk about like

670
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: it's setting money intentions. Can you talk Can you talk

671
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: to us about what that means?

672
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's for us. Setting money intentions. For

673
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 2: me is to simply set a goal with money, an

674
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 2: intention with money on what you want to invest in.

675
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 2: So what's really important about the stock market is that

676
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 2: it's time in the market. That's what's really going to

677
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 2: make you wealthy. So like that's what has made Warren

678
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 2: Buffett wealthy. It's not the selling of the securities, it's

679
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: not the selling of the actual shares of.

680
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 4: The stock itself.

681
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: It's spending time in the market. And so I've always

682
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: found for me, when I'm making an investment, I set

683
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 2: an intention for that investment. So for example, with the

684
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: Netflix stock, I told myself that that investment was one

685
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 2: day going to buy me a house, which is crazy

686
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: because you think seven thousand dollars, when has that ever

687
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: been able to.

688
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 4: Buy anybody a house?

689
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: But I said this intention for myself, and I had

690
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 2: to see it through and in the midst of it,

691
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 2: I got laid off.

692
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 4: In the midst of it.

693
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 2: Two weeks after I got laid off, my partner got

694
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 2: laid off. Two weeks after that, we find out we're pregnant.

695
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: We're moving into my sister's house. We're making all of

696
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 2: these changes into our life. And the one thing I

697
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: never did was sell the stock because the intention for

698
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: that stock wasn't to save my ass in case, you know,

699
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: we were trying for a child. What we didn't expect

700
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: was to get laid off and to have the child

701
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: happen at the same time.

702
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 4: I didn't use that money to like save my ass there.

703
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: I really kept the intention for it, and I was

704
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 2: truly rewarded like I was at the time because I

705
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: was an entrepreneur and I was bringing in, you know,

706
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 2: not a significt amount of revenue in my business.

707
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 4: I only qualified for a.

708
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: Loan that was like one hundred and fifty thousand dollars,

709
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: which limited me to where I could buy a home.

710
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 2: You know, I moved out here to Texas for that reason.

711
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 2: But also I was able to pull one hundred and

712
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: twenty thousand from the stock market to add to that

713
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: loan and not limit myself to a certain area or

714
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 2: constrict me in any way.

715
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 4: I completed the intention for that money.

716
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 2: So it's really important for me as you move through

717
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 2: the eight steps in the book that it's very relatable,

718
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 2: it's very intentional. And also my story is interwoven throughout

719
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 2: the entire books, so it doesn't feel heavy in that

720
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 2: you're learning eight steps. Like you said, it is relatable,

721
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 2: but my own personal story is just mixed in there,

722
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: which helps you take a brain break understand my perspective

723
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: where I'm coming from in terms of money wounds, what

724
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 2: I've had to overcome to get to this place, to

725
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: hopefully inspire others that they can also do the same

726
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: and make these types of investments.

727
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's I think it's really important.

728
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: It's like, is it not? Is like the victimhood part

729
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: and you have this part. I love it. It says put

730
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: a lid on the Bobcitallo and step out of victimhood

731
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: and like basically put a lid on like poor me

732
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: and step out of like you know that everything bad

733
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: always happens to me, or I'm not good with money,

734
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: or money is the root of all evil. And like

735
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: you've said this before, and I remember you talking about them.

736
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people think that money is the root

737
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: of all evil because you know, we see how capitalism,

738
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, it is just you know, to see how

739
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: it works here in America. But it's really it's a tool.

740
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: And if you know how to use the tool, then

741
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be evil. It actually work in

742
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: your favor. It can work for you, it can work

743
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: for your family. It's just you have to get out

744
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: of this victimhood mentality and really address your money wounds

745
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: to really be able to start reprogramming and rewiring your

746
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: mind around this concept of money.

747
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: And yeah, and.

748
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 4: A lot of the time, sorry no goep no go ahead.

749
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 2: A lot of the times it's really hard for us

750
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: to see our own victimhood, right, Like it's really hard

751
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 2: for us to realize like, oh shit, I'm really behaving

752
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: like a victim in this moment in time, especially when

753
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: it comes to money.

754
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 4: It's so challenging, which is why it's.

755
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: Important to always have I think, like a safe community,

756
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 2: a partner friendships where you're able to call those things

757
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 2: out with one another, like, hey, you're behaving like a

758
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: victim when it comes to this to this specific issue.

759
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: Here because I was doing that. I was really good

760
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: at owning my shit everywhere else. But for whatever reason,

761
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 2: when it came to money, I really believed poor me,

762
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 2: Like I really really believed that I was at a

763
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: strong disadvantage. It wasn't until I unders stood that today,

764
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 2: in this day and age, our thoughts are currency. You know,

765
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: when back in not that long ago, seashells were currency.

766
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 2: But today, in this day and age, our thoughts are

767
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: what is currency. And I can tap into those thoughts

768
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 2: and I can capitalize on those thoughts and at the

769
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: same time improve and make better for my community. It's

770
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 2: not just all about me. It's also about what I'm

771
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 2: doing for my community, what I'm reflecting.

772
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: Speaking about your community, I'm so I'm interested in I mean,

773
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: I know you're an educator and you teach a lot

774
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: of people. Do you have any success stories that you

775
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: can share with us that maybe like we're just really

776
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, surprising or just really just really impactful or

777
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: really left a mark on you.

778
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

779
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 2: You know. One of the biggest things for me early

780
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 2: on tying this back to victimhood is that I felt

781
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 2: that every buddy else had the same money story as me.

782
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 2: So like I felt sorry for myself in certain areas

783
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 2: or I don't have money for this. I don't have

784
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 2: money for that, and I would im pole outside of me, like,

785
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 2: they probably don't have money for that, they probably don't

786
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 2: have money for this, not even I was basically just

787
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 2: assuming that because I'm broke from my perspective of this space,

788
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 2: that so is everyone else in my community. And I've

789
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 2: really had to work through that because that's what has

790
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: stopped that's what stopped me early on on adequate pricing

791
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 2: on any experiences that I was providing, whether it was

792
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: live events or whether it was courses, Like I had

793
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 2: to understand that it's not me I'm selling too, that yes,

794
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 2: there is a lot of me that's coming out in

795
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 2: this work, but I can't assume that everyone's in my

796
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 2: financial situation. And so I think what has been the

797
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 2: most eye opening is when I get to have one

798
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: on one in which I do from time to time

799
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 2: with our students, and I get to see their portfolios

800
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: and I'm looking at like one hundred thousand dollars portfolios,

801
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 2: two hundred thousand dollars portfolios, or even just thirty thousand,

802
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 2: forty thousand, fifty thousand and they started investing with me

803
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty and I'm like, dang, like you're really

804
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 2: out here doing like you've taken everything I've said and

805
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 2: you really are out here applying it.

806
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 4: And it's that to me blows my mind.

807
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 2: When they were like before you, I didn't even have

808
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: a portfolio, and just getting to look at Commas and.

809
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 4: Zeros is like this is real.

810
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 2: Like I know it's real, but I think, like, I

811
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 2: know it's real because I see it in my life.

812
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 4: But to get to see it reflected and to get to.

813
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 2: See our students have some incredible portfolios and then do

814
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 2: boss shit like sell a portion of the stock and

815
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 2: go purchase a house for an Airbnb and I'm like, yes,

816
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 2: like this is what I'm talking about. It's not just

817
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: about investing in the stock. It's about understanding that the

818
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: stock market is accessible to us. I don't give a

819
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 2: fuck what they say, like it is accessible to us.

820
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 2: There's a book here, eight steps on how to do it.

821
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 4: That's one small component.

822
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 2: It's important for us to diversify, also have real estate,

823
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: you know, invest in other things as well, but make

824
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 2: sure that we understand that we can play in this

825
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: space and that it's it may feel hard, but it's

826
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 2: really not as hard as we make it out to be.

827
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 2: We don't We're not scared to drop a thousand dollars

828
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: on an iPhone, you know, We're not scared as content creators.

829
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: We're not scared to drop a thousand dollars on a microphone,

830
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And it's that same thing.

831
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 2: We're investing into these companies that are making so much

832
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 2: money off of us already. It's just securing a part

833
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: of their bag. That's all it is. It's not necessarily

834
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 2: that you have to do anything that's risky. It's paying

835
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 2: attention to what it is that you're consuming and what

836
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: your business is dependent on. You know, if you take

837
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 2: a payment plan, payments through Square app, if you use

838
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 2: Square space, if you use an iPhone, it's just really

839
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 2: taking a look at all of the things that not

840
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 2: just you are dependent on, but that you are very

841
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 2: dependent on, and so is your community. It's just tapping

842
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 2: into that company and taking.

843
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 4: A piece of their bag.

844
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 2: It's so important for us to understand that space, and

845
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 2: they've been dominating it for way too long. The amount

846
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 2: of people that buy direct stock in the United States

847
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 2: that isn't tied to their four oh one k's is

848
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 2: only fifteen percent. So out of all of the Americans

849
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 2: in the United States, only fifteen percent own stock directly,

850
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 2: and out of those fifteen percent ten percent the top

851
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 2: ten percent own all eighty nine percent of shares. So

852
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 2: it's only the elite that are tapping into this, and

853
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 2: it's not that they they just understand Yo, everyone is

854
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 2: dependent on Apple. It would make sense that if the

855
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 2: United States is depending on Apple, then perhaps this might

856
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 2: be a company I should take a look at investing into.

857
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people think, like, oh, it's

858
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: too late for that. Oh I'm too late to invest

859
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: in Apple. I'm too late to invest in Netflix, like

860
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't even know, Like I think that that's also

861
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: been my mindset too around it, like, oh, I didn't

862
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: get in early, so it doesn't you know, I missed

863
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: that that ship is sailed, you know. And and what

864
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm hearing is it's not true. And I know, like

865
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: even from our previous conversations, and what I think you're

866
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: also saying here too, is that you need to invest

867
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: in what you know, like, don't invest in shit you

868
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: don't know shit about, Like if you have an if

869
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: you're an iPhone user, hello, Like, if you use this,

870
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: what is it that adds value to your life? And

871
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: invest in that? Don't invest in like random? I mean,

872
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: I know cryptocurrency is a whole other, you know, ballgame.

873
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: And I even invested in crypto early and I didn't

874
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: know what the fuck I was doing at all. Literally,

875
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: my friend did it for me. She took my phone

876
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: and did it. I was like, what is a theoreum?

877
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: I have no idea what the fuck this is? But

878
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm investing. And you know, I watched it grow and

879
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: I still didn't know shit about it. And I also

880
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: watched it totally leave because I didn't know anything about it.

881
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: I invested in something I know absolutely nothing about and

882
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: I didn't educate myself. And I just said, I always

883
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: want I want to get on the bandwagon before it's

884
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: too late, and you know that was That's my mistake,

885
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: and I think that's the mistake of a lot of people.

886
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: And then they get defeated. They're like, Okay, well this

887
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: isn't for me. I'm not going to do this.

888
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think I also like to take it

889
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: back to missing the boat on something. I think it's

890
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 2: important for us to understand a couple of things. The

891
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: first is that Netflix is still a really young company.

892
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 2: Like let's look at big time companies in the stock market.

893
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 2: We're talking Johnson and Johnson, We're talking Coca Cola, were

894
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 2: talking McDonald's. How old are those companies? People are still

895
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 2: continuously buying shares into those companies because they feel that

896
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 2: we will still be addicted to coke. Come ten fifteen

897
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 2: years from now, We'll still be eating cheeseburgers at McDonald's,

898
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 2: like you know, So compare the weight of that company

899
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 2: to companies that are newer, like an Apple, like a Netflix.

900
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 2: I mean, imagine if at ten years of Walt Disney

901
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 2: being a company, people were like, I can't invest in

902
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: this anymore because I missed the boat. We're looking at

903
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 2: a really old company that is still extremely valuable and

904
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,919
Speaker 2: is promising into the future with their streaming service. They're

905
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 2: always there's always going to be innovations. I'm not saying

906
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 2: to invest in any of those companies. I'm just using them,

907
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 2: as you know, as just to show you how they're

908
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 2: actually really young companies. Netflix didn't even become profitable until

909
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. That's how new it is, it's still

910
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 2: reinvesting into itself, it's still figuring things out. So yeah,

911
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 2: I think there's a real opportunity here. And you know,

912
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 2: I think also blockchain technology is incredible. It's still really early, though.

913
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 2: We're looking at a new asset class. So what we're

914
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 2: looking at is a new type of currency that is

915
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 2: being built in our lifetime. The dollar bill existed long

916
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 2: before us, so imagine this new currency we're going We

917
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 2: should expect for it to come up and come down,

918
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 2: and come up and come down. We also had a

919
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 2: really unique experience in twenty twenty with a pandemic where

920
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 2: everything just kind of ran up really high, and now

921
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 2: it's just giving back all of those gains, which is

922
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 2: what took place with ethereum and bitcoin. But I think

923
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 2: in the long run, we're going to see these types

924
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 2: of investments like real winners, not all of blockchain, not

925
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 2: all of Like I'm just talking about bitcoin and ethereum specifically.

926
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 2: I don't know about the other coins or anything like that.

927
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 4: But I do think.

928
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 2: That that asset class is still really brand new, young,

929
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 2: and it's still has a lot of potential for the future.

930
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 1: Are there any companies that you would recommend investing in now.

931
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 2: So I can't, like legally, like by law, I wouldn't

932
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 2: be able to give any tips on what to invest in.

933
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 2: But I think what's really important for us to understand

934
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 2: that is really hot right now, and it has been

935
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 2: for a while. I've been into this for a while,

936
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 2: is it's AI, it's artificial intelligence. Understanding where artificial intelligence

937
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 2: is going.

938
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 4: To take us.

939
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 2: That was why I began investing in Tesla, you know before,

940
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 2: because I didn't feel people saw Tesla as an electric company.

941
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: I didn't see it as an electric company. I actually

942
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 2: saw it as a artificial intelligence car. That's the way

943
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 2: I looked at it. This way I continue to look

944
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 2: at it. They still have the most data that they're

945
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 2: retrieving from their AI, but I do think that's the

946
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 2: future and a lot of these companies are implementing AI technology,

947
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 2: and so I kind of feel like AI is like

948
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 2: going to be the new gold Rush of our lifetime.

949
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 4: That's going to be the next big thing.

950
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 2: So I would say that if you're going to invest

951
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 2: in anything, investigate whether that company is dabbling in artificial

952
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:32,399
Speaker 2: intelligence and what their plans are for that. Artificial intelligence

953
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 2: so scary, so scary.

954
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 3: That's the part that it scares me. And that's what

955
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 3: I stay away from it too.

956
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: You know, I know, and it's true. It's like I

957
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 1: think people hear AI, or at least I do, and

958
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: I almost like want to reject it immediately.

959
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 3: I think of like Will Smith and Rob I Roba, Well, I.

960
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: Think of like I think of the root of all evils,

961
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: and I think, okay, well, okay, if I can look

962
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: at money as a as a tool, then I could

963
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: look at AI as also a tool and not look

964
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: at it as this like super scary thing that's going

965
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: to like rue society.

966
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing about perspectives to like even what

967
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 3: Luce was just saying about, you know, like having like

968
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 3: assuming that like people are in the same financial situation

969
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 3: as you too. It's like like having a trouble pricing

970
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 3: your your merch or you're you're you know, the things

971
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 3: that you have in business, or like having this fear

972
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 3: like or even if you've like scrolled through Instagram and

973
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 3: you see like rich bitches and you're like, oh, fuck them,

974
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 3: like they have this or they have that, Like you

975
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 3: make an assumption about them and the same way you're like, oh, well,

976
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 3: you know, my friend was struggling three years ago, she's

977
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 3: probably still struggling. I don't want to talk too much

978
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 3: about this, or I don't want to make my candle

979
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 3: super expensive, or like, am I worth this price? But

980
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 3: it's it's like you have to change the shift that

981
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 3: that mentality and know that you're at like every people,

982
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 3: there's more than enough for everyone, and it's worth what

983
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 3: you're selling. It's worth what you're pricing it as, and

984
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 3: you're worth what you're doing, and you're worth like, you know,

985
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 3: deserving of this amount, this price point. You know, Like

986
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 3: it's so interesting how our minds shape the way that

987
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 3: we like perceive things and accept them in our you know,

988
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 3: in our personal lives.

989
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: True true, true, oh loose. Before we leave, we have

990
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: two things we have to address. A. I would love

991
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: if you shared an affirmation with our audience.

992
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 2: So this affirmation is tried and true for me. It

993
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 2: is an affirmation that parents me. I'm I'm sure I've

994
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 2: said it in the podcast before, but it is still

995
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 2: the affirmation that holds me solid day in and day out,

996
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 2: and it is I am unlimited supply it just I

997
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 2: can't let go of it. It's my daily affirmation. And

998
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 2: it really just reminds me that I'm not dependent on

999
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 2: money outside of me. I'm not dependent on what money is.

1000
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 4: Doing outside of me.

1001
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 2: I am solely dependent on my my intelligence in my

1002
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 2: head and how that sustains me, and it sustains my

1003
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 2: family and it sustains my community.

1004
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: I am unlimited supply.

1005
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 3: I am unlimited supply.

1006
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: I love that. And we also pulled a card at

1007
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: the top of the show, actually well before the show,

1008
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: and Lucy pulled the Chariot card m the Chariot.

1009
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 3: It usually means control, willpower, success, action, determination. The chariot

1010
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 3: is a card of will powered, termination, and strength. You

1011
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 3: have discovered how to make decisions in alignment with your

1012
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 3: values with the Lover's card, and now you're taking action

1013
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 3: on those decisions. When the chariot appears in a TIRA reading,

1014
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 3: take it as a sign of encouragement. You have set

1015
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 3: your objectives and now channeling your inner power with a

1016
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 3: fierce dedication to bring them to fruition. When you apply discipline, commitment,

1017
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 3: and willpower to achieve your goals, you will succeed.

1018
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: Now.

1019
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 3: Now isn't the time to be passive in the hope

1020
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 3: that things will work out In your favor, take focused action,

1021
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 3: and stick to the course no matter what challenges may

1022
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 3: come your way, because believe me, there will be challenges.

1023
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 3: You may be pulled in opposite directions and find your

1024
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 3: strength and conviction tested. Others may try to block you,

1025
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 3: distract you, or drag you down to pursue drag you

1026
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 3: down the pursuit of your goal. But the chariot is

1027
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 3: an invitation to draw upon your willpower and home in

1028
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 3: on what's essential to you so you can push past

1029
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 3: the obstacles in your way. Hmm, willpower and focus, Oh yeah,

1030
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 3: got you to be the wealth warriors. So it seems

1031
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 3: on point.

1032
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, And for those listening like yes, focus and willpower

1033
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 1: is what it takes, really, I think to be successful

1034
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: in all ways and to go down this road of

1035
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, feeling confident in the stock market or whatever

1036
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,799
