Speaker 1: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is

Speaker 4: It's gonna be a jampane. Let's do it.

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: Oh man, Well, I think maybe we all can chime in,

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: but uh, you know, as far as like like you said,

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: a lot of it was already on my on my

22
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: list previously. But definitely need to work out at least

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: the hour day. That's vitally important.

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: You know.

25
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of meditation. I think that in

26
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 2: the world of social media and so much stuff going

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: on that sometimes we kind of get lost in that

28
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: as far as really taking time to do some inner reflection.

29
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: So I've been doing that for years as far as

30
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: you know, morning, my morning ritual if I'm not doing

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: anything first thing in the morning, to just take a

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: moment and just you know, do the meditation. So I

33
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: definitely think that. I think that, you know, you gotta

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: be grateful. That's a major thing. So I'm a big

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: proponent and prayer. I think that everybody should pray.

36
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: That right, Yeah, got that right? In these do it.

37
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: That's a major key. Absolutely.

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: I also think that you should take a nutrition very

39
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: serious because that does play a major part in your

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: your ability to function at a very high level. So

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: me personally, I've heard this before and it's something I've

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: been pricing for a long time. No, only fruit before

43
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: twelve I don't eat eat solid food. Same before twelve o'clock,

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: I only eat fruit or juice, like you know, like

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: one of the juices from US twenty six. I've been

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: doing that for a while when I can for the moment.

47
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: I've never been a big breakfast person, you know, I'm

48
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: not really a breakfast person.

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 4: Like so they're going to see you eating at acting selfish.

50
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 4: They be like, y, shy.

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Fruit fruit only before twelve. Try not to eat after

52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 2: eight o'clock. Try to drink a gallon of water a day.

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: So take a nutrition very serious, education and vitally important.

54
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: Try to, you know, consume some informative content for at

55
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: least an hour day, whether that's once again watching the documentary,

56
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: reading a book, or listening to an audio book, or

57
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: listening to an educational podcast, YouTube, different things in that

58
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: nature market, mondays or your leisure. So much stuff that

59
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: you can actually educate yourself on.

60
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 4: So thank you. I think that that's five. That's five.

61
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to do some of the ones you

62
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: had with repetitive. I have pray on my list as well.

63
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: I think that's really important. That's how we start our

64
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: day every day. I think reading is very important. It's

65
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: something that I'm doing. I do absolutely every day. There's

66
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: not a day that I don't do that, and that

67
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: probably comes right after I pray. Like it's not TV

68
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: first it's like what can I read first? And then

69
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: I had three that I had to reflect. And I

70
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: think that's part of one of my five things, is

71
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: when having self reflection or having reflection in general, Like

72
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: I do this with my wife almost every Sunday. We

73
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: talk about what's happening for the week, or like what's

74
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: happened Monday, Like tonight we'll talk about, Yo, what you

75
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: got on the agenda for tomorrow?

76
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: How can we fit in time here?

77
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Like having that reflect I read this quote that reflection

78
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: turns experience into wisdom.

79
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: Reflection experience into wisdom.

80
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: And so that's something that I've been doing for the

81
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: past two years, is just having that reflection. Obviously, because

82
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: we had a lot going on with the house and

83
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: then with the kids and the move. It was like,

84
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: let's take time, let's figure out what we're doing here

85
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: and how we can make sure that we stay in

86
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: each other's hypes in a whole way, right, like not

87
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: just showing up, actually being president and being very communitive

88
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: with each other.

89
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 4: So that was one.

90
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: Treat your body like an infrastructure, so you're carrying about

91
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: the workout thing. I've started in twenty twenty six, obviously

92
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: doing the forty ministers exercise.

93
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 4: But I've also done the sauna.

94
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: Just if you are you know, if you understand the

95
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: health benefits of having a sauna and doing that on

96
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: a daily basis and putting that into your routine, I mean,

97
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: it's tremendous. I'm actually trying to get my parents to

98
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: get in there. So I'm gonna try to get my

99
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: dad in the sauna in the next couple of week.

100
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be his first time, so y'all pray for him.

101
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: But that that's something that I've started in twenty twenty six.

102
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: And this is something I've always done and I've never

103
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: really shared it. But taking daily interactions with your assets,

104
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: I know, and we were like three years ago we

105
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: joked about this paperwork party. But like every day I

106
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: checked the money.

107
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 4: You have to look over that money, man, every day

108
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 4: I checked.

109
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: Got to check on it every account, personal account and

110
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: business credit every every day, just to make sure things

111
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: are where theyre.

112
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: Supposed tone because if not, the companies are taken from you,

113
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: or the lawyers or you got to watch over the trust.

114
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm watching over every single dollar that comes into

115
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: the business. I'm watching from a personal side. It's it's

116
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: like just taking the inventory. And then I watched a

117
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: brokerage account too, not because I'm trying to make trades,

118
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: but I just wanted to say, all right, all right,

119
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: we're good here, we're good here, how can we really

120
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: reevaluate for the first quarter? Even like one of my

121
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: ETFs today SOXL, I looked at my percentage.

122
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: It had changed, and so I had to go research

123
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 4: why did it change? Right?

124
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: I know I was up to nearly a thousand percent

125
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: and now I'm down like twenty So like just checking

126
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: these things right, So like tomorrow, I gotta take inventory again,

127
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: Like taking inventory on your assets is important, brokerage accounts,

128
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: real estate, having inventory daily on where your money's going

129
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: vially important.

130
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 4: Make sure you do it.

131
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah for me, Rashada, you brought up meditation. That's one

132
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 3: thing that I didn't do enough of last year. So

133
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 3: meditation and prayer first.

134
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: Second.

135
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: Often we always say that we miss people or if

136
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: Lord forbid, if someone passes, we feel like we miss moments.

137
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: But we put the business before the personal. So for

138
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: twenty six, like I'm starting off my day talking to

139
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: those I love before I get to any business first

140
00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: and foremost, because that's most important and being fully present. Third,

141
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: write down three things that you're grateful for, like you

142
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: said Rachelle. Giving all the noise and social media, sometimes

143
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: we can forget how blessed that we truly are. Like

144
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: I was talking to one of my friends over the

145
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: holidays and he was like, you guys don't realize like

146
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 3: you changed the course of black history forever, and coming

147
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: from where we come from, I don't think we were

148
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: the most likely to have done that, but like, what

149
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: an amazing feat that has been to do.

150
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 4: Together.

151
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: So writing down those things that we're grateful for. And

152
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: then my new thing is to learn and do one

153
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: new thing a day. Like I was talking about this

154
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 3: a lot over the holidays. We can get so inundated

155
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: within our routine that we almost forget to have that

156
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: creative spirit and continue to.

157
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: Learn new things.

158
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,760
