He came to America and took 342 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 8: all the risk and went from and what he did 343 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 8: from zero to what he did, I know, I'm going 344 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 8: to the tippy top of all time, and I'm still 345 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 8: going to always admire what he did from zero to 346 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 8: that spot, right, And I have my own zero story, 347 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 8: but it's different, and he's my dad, and so it 348 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 8: just felt like the right time. 349 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 7: If that makes sense that translation. 350 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 6: That's an honest answer. So when you start the media company, 351 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 6: I'm assuming, all right, so you learn early as far 352 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 6: as emails and internet marketing and all of that, So 353 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 6: you just transitioned that into. 354 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 8: Ye ye have two thousand and six, YouTube comes out 355 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 8: and I'm like, this is gonna be big.

I saw it. 367 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 8: The video starts with me saying, I think this is 368 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 8: the first wine show on the internet, Like you know 369 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 8: what I mean. 370 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 5: Like, yeah, I watched it. I watched it. 371 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 7: I appreciate it. But so I saw it, I did it, 372 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 7: and I was right. 373 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 8: And then YouTube sells for one seven one point seven 374 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 8: billion in two thousand and seven, and to help everybody here, 375 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 8: that'd be like TikTok selling for a trillion to Facebook 376 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 8: right now. 377 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 7: The number was crazy. 378 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 8: Back then, one seven was like like, you didn't even 379 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 8: think about shit like that, right, And so that happened, 380 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 8: and that's when my career really took off. I said, 381 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 8: wait a minute. I was right about dot com, I 382 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 8: was write about email. I was right about Google AdWords. 383 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 8: I was right about you know, blogging, even though I 384 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 8: didn't do it. I was right about this YouTube thing. 385 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 8: Maybe I'm not just a good businessman or ricker, store 386 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 8: runner or seller. I might be good at like just 387 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 8: knowing shit. That's literally the combo I had with myself. 388 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,719 Speaker 8: And I read an article that YouTube had angel investors, 389 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 8: and I was like, what's an angel investor? I googled 390 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 8: it and I was like, I'm going to be an 391 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 8: angel investor. And the next year I went to south 392 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 8: By Southwest cause I got to put you got. 393 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 7: To put yourself in it. If you're going to be 394 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 7: in it. 395 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 8: I want the Silicon Valley a bunch. And within the 396 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 8: year of me deciding that to that one hundred and 397 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 8: fifty I don't remember eighty to one hundred and fifty 398 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 8: K I saved because I was living in a bullshit apartment, 399 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 8: never going out. So even though I was making fifty, 400 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 8: I was saving four thousand a years, making save in 401 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 8: eight that in a year. You see what I'm saying. 402 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 8: So when I tell kids with my content, like be 403 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 8: humble I lived. I don't give advice that I fucking 404 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 8: read in a book. I don't give advice that I 405 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 8: didn't live. So because I was living humble and not 406 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 8: buying dumb shit, even though I wasn't making much, I 407 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 8: had a little something. And now I saw this opportunity 408 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 8: and the first three companies I invested in for Facebook, Twitter, 409 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 8: and Tumblr, and it changed my life. 410 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 6: So the Angel conversation is extremely interesting because a lot 411 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 6: of people might not know your angel investors. So that's 412 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 6: a that's the perfect three companies to invest in. So 413 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 6: Angel invest in VC world is like, you know, people 414 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 6: have been around for decades that do that with billions 415 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 6: of dollars. So you come even with a couple of 416 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 6: hundred thousand, that's not really real money in the U. 417 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 8: Different than though, Like I invested in Tumblr's B round 418 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 8: at fourteen million dollar valuation. A B round now is 419 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 8: like four hundred million. It was a different world when 420 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 8: I did it. Nobody there was nobody coming at these 421 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 8: kids like that. Back then, nobody believed in the Internet 422 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 8: like this. Like I was able to talk to Mark 423 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 8: Zuckerberg too Williams, to David Carr, like I was talking 424 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 8: to the person. It just wasn't that shine like it was. 425 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 8: It was like Hip Hop eighty five versus today basketball. 426 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 5: So for the what round did you get in in Facebook? 427 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 8: So Facebook I bought from Mark's parents two years before 428 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 8: the IPO because I became friendly with the Facebook crew 429 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 8: and Randy and Mark because Randy and his sister worked 430 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 8: at the company. I'd flown out to speak to the company. 431 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 8: I would hang with them at conferences. So one day 432 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 8: I just got a call from Randy saying, you know, 433 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 8: my parents want to sell some of the Spacebook stock 434 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 8: before the IPO because they want to move to California 435 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 8: and build a house and be near us. 436 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 7: Would you like something? 437 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 8: She didn't start, she didn't finish, saying my parents and 438 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 8: I already wired the money because I knew Facebook was 439 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 8: going to win. And then Tumblr was one of the 440 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 8: big companies out of New York because shit wasn't happening 441 00:19:59,040 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 8: in New York. 442 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 7: So tumbl out in New York. 443 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 8: And I noticed junior high kids were on Tumblr in 444 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 8: two thousand and eight, two thousand and seven, and I 445 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 8: was like, wait, that might be next because all the 446 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 8: youngsters are on it. 447 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 7: And so I got on there and then YEAHO bought 448 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 7: Tumbler for a. 449 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 5: Billion follow youth. 450 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 6: So so as far as like the Angel investment's talking 451 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 6: about the rounds, can you explain now a little bit 452 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 6: because people hear about round, seed round, fund round, A round, 453 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 6: B round, seed round, but they might not actually know 454 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 6: what that actually means. 455 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 8: Just see, you know a lot of people use different 456 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 8: terminology for the same shit. But like you know, the 457 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 8: Angel round is the initial money in. Then usually the 458 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 8: first time a company takes money, the angel, the seed 459 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 8: investment or the angel right high risk, like most of 460 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 8: my Angel investments went to zero, but high reward. You 461 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 8: come in early on something, it can get real crazy. 462 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 8: You know my angel the company called BarkBox that's about 463 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 8: to go public. That's gonna get interesting for me. You know, Angel, 464 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 8: you can get crazy. So then there's the A then 465 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 8: it just goes in. Then it goes in very simple 466 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 8: order for everybody. The A route, it's kind of the 467 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 8: first real money, you know, five million bucks, three million bucks, 468 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 8: Then the B round ten twenty million bucks, then the 469 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 8: C round that's you know when I said ten twenty 470 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 8: that's so much they took in. So they got one 471 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 8: hundred million dollar valuation and they took it to twenty 472 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 8: million dollars in Now that person invested is in for. 473 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 7: Only fifteen percent of the company. I there's that age 474 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 7: because it's one twenty post strains or twenty. So that's 475 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 7: how it goes. 476 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 8: Angel ABCD and usually buy after D you're looking at 477 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 8: going public or selling. 478 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 6: So like a couple of questions in regards to that 479 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 6: for entrepreneurs, how should they prepare themselves to approach an 480 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 6: angel investor? Like what should they already have in place? 481 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 6: Because from my understanding, a company has to have a 482 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 6: certain amount of revenue like already in place before they 483 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 6: can actually get venture capital or angel money. 484 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 3: Is that true? 485 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 8: Or no angel money you can get when you have 486 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 8: nothing thing an idea. Now that comes with privilege. Let's 487 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 8: be very honest here, and I'm not even talking white privilege. 488 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 8: I'm talking rich privilege. I know, unlimited Black Asian trans 489 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 8: You know, if you're running in money circles, you got a. 490 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 7: Shot to get money on an idea. You know. 491 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 8: One of the reasons I stopped investing, and I don't 492 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 8: invest that much. Most of my money right now is 493 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 8: going to sports cards. We can get into that before 494 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 8: we get out. 495 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: Of here. 496 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 8: Is it's crazy now like you can get You can 497 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 8: basically say I'm gonna build this, make a deck, go 498 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 8: to people and they give you money based on a 499 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 8: four million dollar, five million dollars six million dollars seven 500 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 8: million dollar valuation. But it's a very small group of 501 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 8: people that have access to that capital, right, and they 502 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 8: usually run from high university Stanford, Harvard, right, or they 503 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 8: run in very rich circles.

People like 554 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 8: to invest more in the idea. Once you start making money, 555 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 8: they have something to judge you on. It's a crazy 556 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 8: system and I'm not a That concerns me, and which 557 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 8: is why I've been hesitant to go hard in early stage. 558 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 8: I take it a little bit later where people prove 559 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 8: it a little now, no reason to take that risk. 560 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 8: So I'm aware of an A and B guy, if 561 00:25:58,760 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 8: I really get excited. 562 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 5: So when you when you actually are are going to 563 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 5: go after a company or decide to invest it, is 564 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 5: that why you created vayn or X or is that 565 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 5: something different? Right? Because because that became a holding company 566 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 5: at a certain point, right. 567 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 7: Baaner x is different. I did, so, I did angel investing. 568 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 7: I did real well. 569 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 8: Then I got hooked up with Steve Ross, the owner 570 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 8: Miami Dolphins, and he bought a piece of Vayner Media, 571 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 8: which was the first company, Vaynermedia, which later became vayn 572 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 8: or X. When I started adding companies, so I needed 573 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 8: a holding company for the companies. 574 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 7: Okay, I'll get to that in a minute. 575 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 8: When when Steve Ross invested in bought a piece excuse me, 576 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 8: a Vynroom Media, he also put up the money for 577 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 8: a fund, and I deployed twenty five million dollars out 578 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 8: of a fund as a like a fund. 579 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 7: Right. 580 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 8: So for everyone listening, because we're doing some real good 581 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 8: educating here, that means that I got Normally you get 582 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 8: paid two percent of the number to manage it. But 583 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 8: because I didn't take that from him, because he already 584 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 8: bought a piece of my company, and we're kind of 585 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 8: being homies. But I got twenty percent of it back, right, 586 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 8: So twenty percent of all the earnings. So the twenty 587 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 8: five goes and I get twenty percent of anything that happens, right, 588 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 8: you know. So I don't put up the money. I 589 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 8: make the decisions. But that gives me twenty cents on 590 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 8: a dollar. He gets eighty cents. And with that company, 591 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 8: I made a lot of smart investments. I started a 592 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 8: company with that money called Rezi rs y. Anybody who's 593 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 8: into restaurants, the Resi app. 594 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 7: That was me. 595 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 8: We sold that company for nine figures to AMX eighteen 596 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 8: months ago. I invested in Snapchat, Pinterest, Coinbase, so we 597 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 8: did real well. 598 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 6: So you talked about the holding the holding companies, Why 599 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 6: is that? Why is that employer? 600 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 7: That's important? 601 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 8: Because I had vayner Media one company, and then I 602 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 8: wanted to buy a new company called Purewow Jure whiles 603 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 8: a women's lifestyle brand dot com publisher similar to Refinery 604 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 8: twenty nine or Bustle. You know, I just stood up 605 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 8: a men's brand called one thirty seven PM that everybody 606 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 8: should check out. That's more like complex advice. So when 607 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 8: I bought that company, I didn't want to put it 608 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 8: into Banner Media because it was a different kind of company, 609 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 8: different taxes, different all that. So I created a holding 610 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 8: company called Vayner X. One side of it was Vayner Media. 611 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 8: Another side was what we called Gallery Media Group, which 612 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 8: held pure wow in it. Then we started one thirty 613 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 8: seven pm and then I started going ham. I started 614 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 8: a new company called Sasha Group after my dad, Sasha 615 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 8: to be Vayner Media for small businesses. Then I started 616 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 8: as speaking bureau Vyner Speakers. Then I started a company 617 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 8: for e commerce, Vayner Commerce. You know, I just started 618 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 8: going now and so I've got a series of businesses. 619 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 8: Now we just set up a new company called Vaynor 620 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,239 Speaker 8: Talent where we help people build their personal brand and 621 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 8: we represent and manage some people. So now I got 622 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 8: my holding co. And the way you do that, the 623 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 8: reason I sit at the top of the holding co. 624 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 8: I'm the active CEO Vanner Media. But I got people 625 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 8: running the other companies, and you create incentive plans for 626 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 8: them at their level. It all ladders up to the 627 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 8: big level and That's where I'm at. 628 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 3: There you have it. 629 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 6: So as far as one last question about the angel, 630 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 6: what do you look for because you obviously had a 631 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 6: bunch of success Facebook, Twitter, tumba, Uber, snap, Venmo, to 632 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 6: name a few, So it's not luck. So you obviously 633 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 6: have an eye for talent more so I mean a 634 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 6: gut feeling. Yeah, but do you have anything that you like? 635 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 6: A checklist where you look for. 636 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 8: One two things, my conviction of what's going on in life, 637 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 8: and then the person. 638 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 7: So I call it the jockey and the horse. I 639 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 7: got to pick the horse. Let me give you one. 640 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 8: Right now for everybody. I'm going to make some people 641 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 8: some money today. 642 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 7: NFT. 643 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 8: NFT stands for non fungible tokens crypto art, right, so 644 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 8: on top of a theory, so this is coming. I 645 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 8: believe in it. There's gold be a lot of money lost, 646 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 8: so don't go crazy. Everyone who's listening, spend one hundred hours. 647 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 8: Let me say it slowly so it sinks in everyone's head. 648 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 8: One hundred hours, one hundred hours of education. Then maybe 649 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 8: you go buy a piece of crypto art. But I 650 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 8: now believe in NFT. I really believe in it. Now 651 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 8: I got to go find people that I believe in 652 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 8: that cold ride that horse. So I make a decision 653 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 8: on the horse. But then I got to believe in 654 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 8: the jockey. I lost a lot of money my first 655 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 8: round two thousand and seven, eight nine, ten, eleven, twelve 656 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 8: because I was right about the concept, but I was 657 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 8: wrong about the person's stomach who was running it. 658 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 7: She or he couldn't take a punch, you understand. 659 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, That's what I'm looking for now, Who can take 660 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 8: a punch. That's what entrepreneurship is. Entrepreneurship is UFC, Entrepreneurship 661 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 8: is boxing. Who can take a punch. So I'm right 662 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 8: about a lot of stuff. To your point, I've got 663 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 8: a great career on that. But now what I'm spending 664 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 8: more time on. 665 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 7: Is can she do it?

But the other thing that 779 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 8: has heat because it's a platform that people build on 780 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,919 Speaker 8: top of, like so Rare. So yeah, there's a little 781 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 8: bit of that ruin. But yeah, the sports card thing 782 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 8: three years ago, I saw it. I'm like, this is next, 783 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 8: this is next.

Am I tricking my I always ask myself, there, 788 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 8: am I tricking myself? So I double check a triple check, 789 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 8: a quadruple check, and. 790 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 7: The receipts are there. The YouTube videos of me and 791 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:40,919 Speaker 7: Charlie Demilio. 792 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,479 Speaker 8: Before she went there, the videos of me and Keyed 793 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 8: and Gunna there, they're there. 794 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 6: So your social media acumen is highly respecting one of 795 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 6: the best to have a do in social media. So 796 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,240 Speaker 6: talking about the next phase where we at next, obviously 797 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 6: Clubhouse TikTok. 798 00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 3: How do you feel? 799 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 6: Like do you feel because I think face just an 800 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 6: noow something that they're going to do something similar to 801 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 6: what Clubhouse has going. 802 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 3: Is it here to stay or is it the next vine? 803 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 8: It's it's Snapchat. Let me explain, Clubhouse is Snapchat. Snapchat's 804 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 8: still here. Remember one's like I remember when it's like 805 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 8: it's dead. I'm like, it's not dead. It got dented. 806 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 8: Instagram gave it a punch. You know, it's a good Now. 807 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,959 Speaker 8: It might have lost it might have it definitely fell down. 808 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 9: It got standing eight, yeah, at least the standing eight 809 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 9: and probably lost that fight for a minute, but it's 810 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,439 Speaker 9: come back to you know, the rematch always matters, right, 811 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 9: And Snap is doing quite well. 812 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 7: They're building a really nice company. 813 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 8: But Instagram took off even more because of it, So 814 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 8: stories became a. 815 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 7: Format not just an app. Got it. 816 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 8: So now you have Snap doing well, but every platform Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, 817 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 8: Instagram has stories. I think the same thing's gonna happen 818 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 8: with Clubhouse. Clubhouse is going to continue to innovate and 819 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 8: do its thing. But I believe that every single platform, Facebook, Instagram, 820 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 8: LinkedIn Twitter are all going to have clubhouse like dynamics 821 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 8: in it, and it's going to be a feature in 822 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 8: the biggest platforms in the world. 823 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 5: So can a clubhouse survive? Because we saw this with 824 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 5: Vine when they had the eight second clip and then 825 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 5: Instagram took it. 826 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 8: No, that's just you know, that's where people get their 827 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 8: history wrong. Vine won Let me explain, Vine sold their 828 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,919 Speaker 8: company to Twitter. Vine died because the guys left. Vine 829 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 8: didn't have to die. Vine took the bag. Let's when 830 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 8: no Snap of course again, look at Snap. Snap's just 831 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 8: fine at all time highs on its stocky. 832 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 3: I was just about to say stock is going well. 833 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, so yes, man, of course clubhouse can now. Snap 834 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 8: was probably further along when that feature happened on Instagram. 835 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 8: So a clubhouse has to worry about is if all 836 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 8: these companies come adam from all different directions, can they 837 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 8: continue to grow or will people do what happened? 838 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 7: You know, I'm sure you remember this. 839 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 8: When Instagram did that thing, Everyone's like, oh good, I 840 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 8: don't have to be on Snapchat because they're in secure 841 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 8: because they only had a thousand followers, they didn't had 842 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 8: a million over here, like everyone's on their insecure shit. 843 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 8: But I would staying on both because attention is attention. 844 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 8: So what you know right now people are insecure. They're 845 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 8: not even in clubhouse. They don't have an invite. So 846 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 8: when Twitter pops it up or Instagram pops it up, 847 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,479 Speaker 8: they're like, yeah, you know what I mean, I don't 848 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 8: have to go there. I'm not behind. So that's what 849 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 8: That's what clubhouse has to worry about. What about TikTok, 850 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 8: You know, TikTok is a beast, TikTok has it's just 851 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 8: on fire. I think people are completely confused what's going on. 852 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 8: If you're under twenty five, it's TikTok, Comma. 853 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 7: Instagram and it's not even close. TikTok will be interesting. 854 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 8: They're so about their world, their algorithm finding creativity. If 855 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 8: you ask me which platforms most likely to do audio 856 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 8: like that, I would say it's TikTok and Snap. I 857 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 8: don't see a shot that LinkedIn YouTube and Facebook and 858 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 8: Instagram don't do it. 859 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 7: Twitter's already done it. 860 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's interesting because it's like for entrepreneurs, you get 861 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 6: comfortable with one platform, and then another platform comes out 862 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 6: and it's like you're spinning in all different directions. So 863 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 6: what's your advice for people that may not have a 864 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 6: budget to hire, you know, a whole staff, and it's 865 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 6: like they just focus on one thing. They got Instagram 866 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 6: figured out, and now they kind of, like you said, 867 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 6: they built a nice following on Instagram and they feel 868 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 6: like they got to start at zero on TikTok or 869 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 6: zero on clubhouse multiple things. 870 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,439 Speaker 7: One crying about it and could do shit. 871 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 8: It's the game, sorry, like you know, like you know, 872 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 8: like people had people had MTV and BT figured out 873 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 8: and Naster came along that fucked up their. 874 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 7: Game, right, Shit happens. Sorry. 875 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 8: If you're an entrepreneur, you're in the business of getting 876 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 8: punched in the face. Nobody owes you anything. So that's 877 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 8: number one, that's what I tell him. Number two, you 878 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 8: don't start at zero. If you've got a million followers 879 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 8: on Instagram, you post a little photo, I'm gonna be 880 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 8: on clubhouse APM, you know what I mean.

Your audience is moving with you. 882 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 8: I got half a million followers already on Clubhouse. I've 883 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 8: barely been on becuse I've been busy, you know what 884 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 8: I mean.

I was like, it's 889 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 5: tough to be in a marriage where you you have 890 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 5: something on your mind that you you you fest it 891 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 5: because after a while the bucket overflows. But can you 892 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 5: talk about the points of that in business of empty 893 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 5: in the bucket. 894 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 8: It's life resentments of problem And for me, I can 895 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 8: deal with I can eat shit. I can fill that 896 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 8: bucket because I'm a big picture. I'm empathetic. But even 897 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 8: for me, it tips over. And for my dad he 898 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 8: was the reverse. Said to my dad, Dad, your buckets 899 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 8: the size of this cup. My buckets the size of 900 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 8: the ocean. That's where you and I are different. He 901 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 8: would get triggered quick, you know. And for me, I 902 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 8: would just eat shit, eat shit. It was even my leverage, 903 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 8: you know, I would like but like the reality is 904 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 8: candor matters. 905 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 7: Now, I like kind candor. If you're gonna tell somebody 906 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 7: the truth, deliber it with. 907 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,320 Speaker 8: Some compassion, not like yo, you stink, you know what 908 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 8: I mean, like you know, like you got to think 909 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 8: that through. But yeah, you have to be careful of resentment. 910 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 8: You have to be careful of holding shit in because 911 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 8: it's not sustainable that shit's gonna come out either in 912 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 8: you doing bad behavior right, alcohols like people, humans need 913 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 8: escape from unhappiness, you know, And so you got to 914 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 8: get shit off your chest. And so I think a 915 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 8: lot about that, and I've historically not been great at it. 916 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,879 Speaker 8: I've been lucky because my bucket's an ocean, but even 917 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 8: the ocean overflows at times, and those have not been 918 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 8: good events in my life. And I'm trying to stay 919 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 8: away from that, and so I'm trying to empty it 920 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 8: more often. I'm emptying it. Emptying the bucket means go 921 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 8: and have kind candor and talk shit out. Communication heals everything, 922 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 8: even the hard talks. And and and when you're most upset, 923 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 8: you have to be most compassionate to the other side, 924 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 8: not the other way around, because if you becoming hot, they're 925 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 8: going to react hot, and the next thing you know, 926 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 8: you come to blows, whether physically or verbally, and that's 927 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:16,879 Speaker 8: never a good thing. 928 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 5: Becomes a tsunami exactly. 929 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 6: One last before we wrap underpriced attention. I know you're 930 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,360 Speaker 6: a big one to obviously social media, but for entrepren 931 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 6: is that is that the only way to get underpriced 932 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 6: attention these days? Or are there other hacks that you know, 933 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 6: business owners, entrepreneurs, creatives can go about to get their 934 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 6: brand out there and the name out. 935 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 8: There that the internet is underpriced attention or doing like 936 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 8: a stunt, right, like if you like paint a street 937 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 8: or something, or like, you know, like you got to 938 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 8: do something like shocks the world in real life ral 939 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 8: go viral, go viral. 940 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 7: But that's hard, it's hard hard. 941 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 8: Whereas on the Internet, LinkedIn's organic reaches through the roof, 942 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 8: TikTok's organic. You could be nobody, quote unquote no audience, 943 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 8: make one talk the first one and go off.
