[SPEAKER_00]: These next four years with this president, whether you like him or not, is going to be imperative for us to get rich.
[SPEAKER_00]: The opportunities are going to be there, but we have to execute.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody can't do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to be a special kind of person.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to have a special level of discipline.
[SPEAKER_00]: Excuses can exist.
[SPEAKER_00]: It does not matter if I lose today.
[SPEAKER_00]: It does not matter if I lose tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still going to come in perform, but it takes a special kind of person to do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the biggest secret.
[SPEAKER_00]: I tell people now in this essence and this season is you have to execute everything as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: And whether it's understanding AI, whether it's understanding crypto, whether it's understanding how to market, people are going to want to take care of themselves right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: The cost of living is going up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Life is changing.
[SPEAKER_00]: What was relevant in two thousand twenty is not working in two thousand twenty five.
[SPEAKER_03]: It has to work or has to work.
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome to Circle Greatness.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm your host, Nehemiah Davis, thirty-five million dollars before thirty-five years old.
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the biggest influences on the internet, especially for our people of the culture, our African-American brothers, sisters, man.
[SPEAKER_03]: I get the opportunity to call this man a friend, a brother, and all around May is in God.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mark is him, Fahhan.
[SPEAKER_03]: What's up, Doug?
[SPEAKER_03]: It was good, boss.
[SPEAKER_03]: Part two, we back, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we got cut off last time.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we was in the storm.
[SPEAKER_03]: The tree fell on your house.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, a tree fell on my house.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I've been a long time, bro.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, bro, we, we, we were talking a little bit off scenes how we met.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we met, uh, at B-Wile B conference, you were speaking.
[SPEAKER_03]: And literally we formed the circle CEOs.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we met pretty much everybody from,
[SPEAKER_03]: a darn conference or some sort of group and you and I have went down the rabbit hole on master mining, on getting him rooms, on getting around people are just as sharp even smarter, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember one of our last rooms we were in.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was about a room where in the last year the people in the room accumulated about one point six or one point nine billion in revenue.
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember I mean being one of the smallest revenue earners in the room,
[SPEAKER_03]: Why is Mastermind so important?
[SPEAKER_03]: I think so many people, you know, they think when we talk about joining the Mastermind, it's to make us money.
[SPEAKER_03]: They don't understand.
[SPEAKER_03]: We are equally not equal.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know I'm much more invested than anyone I'm telling for the most part to join the Mastermind or some sort of program.
[SPEAKER_03]: Why is this important?
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what's crazy that somebody experiences that you take when you learn from be different, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I remember in that last one he said we was in that room and I said I did about ten to twelve million dollars last year and the guy on the stage said, wow, I remember I used to be poor.
[SPEAKER_00]: You remember that?
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was humbling, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: And everybody laughed.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was a realization that nobody got offended.
[SPEAKER_00]: To get to a certain position, if my answer isn't always noted, it's the next level.
[SPEAKER_00]: It keeps everybody going.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the power of my spine is that I just seen this guy last weekend.
[SPEAKER_00]: And at night, I want to say he's doing about twenty broken down.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I'm doing about twenty five thirty million a year right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: being around these people is not an accident.
[SPEAKER_00]: The reason that my business is grow is not an accident, because when he goes into this twenty thirty million from going from ten of me, he's income double a triple.
[SPEAKER_00]: What did you do?
[SPEAKER_00]: And the people that you used to do it, I'm already influenced with and already have friends.
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether it's marketing, the way you approach the marketing, whether it's your sales, whether it's your back end operations, whether you switch platforms for finances, and able to get people whatever it is that you do when I'm in these environments with master mining, it's not just about I'm on the just learn.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm making connections with people who are operating at a certain level.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when you're in these environments, we're and think about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're in rooms where companies and they went and did five hundred million.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you got a software, you got a company that does payment process and it goes and does five hundred million raised five hundred million.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when they invite us to a dinner, we know everybody.
[SPEAKER_00]: For the most part, and this is even this ain't even a black room.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a Caucasian.
[SPEAKER_00]: We walk in and we know everybody there.
[SPEAKER_00]: We go, well, you're just did five hundred million.
[SPEAKER_00]: How do you know all of the same people that we know?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's power and proximity.
[SPEAKER_00]: And in order for you to make this kind of money, it had this kind of cultural impact.
[SPEAKER_00]: What I realized is that you're going to have to know the heavy weights to infuse and blow the business up and contribute to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not coming out here doing it on your own.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not starting in ground zero and building a business and being like, I'm going to take it to a hundred million.
[SPEAKER_00]: Alone at Journey, somebody's going to have to embrace you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody's going to have to pull you up and when you already get invited and you figure out how to get into those rooms in the environments.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the power of Mastermind.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I got paid to get in these rooms, you look at it with Miran Golden and people like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Miran's built-in with Miran was friends with Russell Brunson and things like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: You paid to get at Miran's Mastermind.
[SPEAKER_00]: Learn Torch came in here, flamed it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You end up on Clayfummel stage.
[SPEAKER_00]: Three years back, we sit and you're trying to get clicked on awards and get a picture with Russell.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you sit and you're on phone calls, talking in and in counseling, give a him game because you paid to get a mastermind and show your jeans and not just going and learn, but you was able to show your jeans and that's how we all kind of elevate.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think one of the biggest secrets and biggest things people miss conceived about master minds is that this ain't a course.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is like where we come, you connect, and you figure out how to build greater relationships with people that's taken to their next level.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's really a science tool, bro.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like they don't, they'd be really trying to figure out what is the hacks.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the hack, getting in the room.
[SPEAKER_03]: I always say getting in the room a stay in the room, but once you get in the room, you got to execute on information and you got to continue to build the relationships because the money is really in the relationships.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, but a lot of times there's just say you're spending
[SPEAKER_03]: thirty thousand dollars to be in the room.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you connect with four to five people and you end up rocking with them for next five to ten years, the room basically becomes, it will basically free to be in there.
[SPEAKER_03]: So even when we're hosting our events like the room, like just a free event.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: People need to be focusing on getting in no environments because you never know who you want me there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, it's, I wish more people understood, like, yo, like, they become what excuses a while they can't go.
[SPEAKER_03]: It'd be free in they coming up with all the reasons why they can't get in the room.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I clearly remember meeting several y'all at these events.
[SPEAKER_03]: I met Alex at ET conference.
[SPEAKER_03]: I met Jason at the ten next conference.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, granted, it wasn't free.
[SPEAKER_03]: But it was a small sacrifice, but now I got
[SPEAKER_03]: friends who will be rocking out forever now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, listen, this this this thing is built day by day brick by brick.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: People think it happened overnight, but it doesn't happen overnight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Our friendship wasn't built overnight like, you know, we're going to do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a day by day thing that people have to be committed to and it's not like, oh, I'm going to get involved in one or more.
[SPEAKER_00]: I tried that before.
[SPEAKER_00]: What happens is it gets uncomfortable in a lot of times we won't tell the truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you say it's not a secret, it is a secret.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is a secret and we don't tell the truth all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the issue is that and I feel bad for not always telling you guys the truth is that everybody can't do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to be a special kind of person.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to have a special level of discipline.
[SPEAKER_00]: You excuses can exist.
[SPEAKER_00]: You cannot quit.
[SPEAKER_00]: It does not matter because like when you say it has to be or has to be, I think it goes over people hit
[SPEAKER_00]: It does not matter if I lose today.
[SPEAKER_00]: It does not matter if I lose tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still going to come in perform, but it takes a special kind of person to do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a fact.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't want to be friends with people who not that kind of person.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the biggest secret is that I'm not going to associate with you if I see you have loser tendencies.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a loser mentality.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to be your friend.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want you to be around me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Once I see you start complaining and the biggest tail tail sign is when people post all losers have one thing in common.
[SPEAKER_00]: They have a post that they put out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your friend strangers will support you more than your friends and family.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the number one tell sign of a loser because you're looking at the immediate circle and where you can reach to to blame and put fall on why your business or why you're not succeeding.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're blaming the people closest to you who did not tell you to go be an entrepreneur who did not tell you to go be a business owner who did not sign up to be your customer.
[SPEAKER_00]: I signed up to love you and you was born into my family.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to be associated with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you blame them for why you're not succeeding, you're already losing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the tail tail sign that your business is going to fill.
[SPEAKER_00]: So a million people in the world.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I always look at that and people go, well, what's the secret?
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that I'm going to ignore certain people.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to associate with certain people.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm okay with you knowing that I think that these activities create loser mentalities and I'm not the one to help you with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to find a therapist.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to go find a partner.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to find somebody who cares about you personally because I'm only out to seek to build with winners because I'm trying to win.
[SPEAKER_00]: I come out of a losing environment.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going back into it and being enlightened somebody drain my energy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm too big of a good example for you to be able to follow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's good.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me ask you this.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you, you, and switching gears a little bit, I mean, you built one of the largest, I mean, you pioneered, especially in the African-American space, just credit industry, meaning you had all these individuals, they now credit gurus, experts, like you, you literally ran that, almost, I feel like you started that industry, especially for us, African-Americans, and you built one of the largest communities
[SPEAKER_03]: However, what was the formula that you used?
[SPEAKER_03]: Was it a plan, or you were figuring out as you went?
[SPEAKER_03]: Because there's a lot of people online right now, and they're looking to build communities.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're looking to grow their personal brand.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I want to know some keys of growing your personal brand, like your HM-VA-HUN at everybody know you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like when you say credit, it will synonymous with your name.
[SPEAKER_03]: and you built a huge community on it and was a huge push in helping people understand leveraging credit.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I didn't know about credit card points, I heard about you.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't know, remember those Balenciaga's, I went to Saxon, you some point.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't know what the point was.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't know how to leverage a credit.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I feel like you was one of the creators of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, how did you do that?
[SPEAKER_00]: The thing is that there's a lot of questions.
[SPEAKER_00]: The biggest point, the biggest takeaway is you have to solve people problems that they don't know they have.
[SPEAKER_00]: And everybody has a goal and business and life is to become successful.
[SPEAKER_00]: What I did early on was I started to learn different teaching and learning styles.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people
[SPEAKER_00]: Like me and you, we go to events and we have to be around people and we'll pick up a jewel or a bar and be good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people, they can read and do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people can watch videos and do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some people got to get their hand held, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I was looking at it because at first I was just teaching people and I realized that everybody wasn't winning.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, okay, well, what's missing?
[SPEAKER_00]: And it goes accountability and friendship.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I started doing free events.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it wasn't just the information that was there, but the executing of events and then being around other people started bringing in the community aspect.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll do video trainings, we'll do in-person trainings, we'll do live events, it just network and build commottery.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we can have friends that we build and you get comfortable.
[SPEAKER_00]: All of these things started contributing and then having a brand that was being well represented.
[SPEAKER_00]: You see it on the Javante Davis fight, you see it here where people are proud to be a member in a part or something.
[SPEAKER_00]: and it gives them a sense of inside them.
[SPEAKER_00]: They see what I'm able to accomplish and they go, okay, now I go out and I figure out ways to give.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to charge you to come to my events.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to lead with love to where you see your money work for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: You feel like you got a return off that tank thing you did that night.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or a brand building.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, brand building.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to be an instant, but you, it's some things are intrinsic.
[SPEAKER_00]: So just the other days when I was like, yo, I was watching, I was watching every player of the Javante.
[SPEAKER_00]: They was right on YouTube and seeing your brand here.
[SPEAKER_00]: I seen the fight and didn't know that that what it was at the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's things that are intrinsic.
[SPEAKER_00]: the members and the things that they got and being able to see like this is what we're part of.
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of times people make money and a business is especially in coaching businesses and his theirs and they never go that this is the community's money and I'm going to use this into the community and put it back.
[SPEAKER_00]: and blow this up.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think you did a good job of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me ask you, you just said in Trenzig, like you invested a certain amount of money to be on the ring.
[SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't like a media return.
[SPEAKER_03]: You invest Facebook ads and you may do a class and you'll get a media return.
[SPEAKER_03]: How do you allocate
[SPEAKER_03]: or decide on what I'm doing with my money.
[SPEAKER_03]: When it comes to building brand, this is going to be like for me, we've never really done rollouts.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's always just flyer, website, waiting lists, sell.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now we're like, well, all right, let's make this look great.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's do a rollout list.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I know that way don't make as much money as the regular way, but the brand looks
[SPEAKER_02]: bigger.
[SPEAKER_03]: It looks cleaner.
[SPEAKER_03]: So how do you decide which way to go when you have resources and then when you got limited resources?
[SPEAKER_00]: Put your foot on next at all times.
[SPEAKER_00]: Put your foot every opportunity you get to put your foot on somebody neck and do what they want and do.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: The deal came about, the circle of CEOs is supposed to do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, it's a hundred member and we was having the conversation.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, is it worth it or not?
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sending the honey.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: You on God, where I don't, I'm okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sending the honey because I won't, I know this lives forever.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know how many people and what I can use it for.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that people that are in my space that think they, the same love was me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you know you're not.
[SPEAKER_00]: So sometimes it's not just about a return on investment, it's to create separation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think that when you look at the brands and how much money and the things that people do is like, it's brand separation.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, is Apple better than Samsung?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, but it's brand separation.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Apple's brand is just so much bigger and so much more respective than the Samsung, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you go, so you look at it next Thursday.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, well, but they all make cell phones.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Google phone is just as smart as the Apple.
[SPEAKER_00]: The camera is better on this phone, but you don't think that, because Apple has such a dominant brand.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that when you start now, I got to a point where I had to compete on a national level.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would make moves like that, like putting Rick Ross in my jersey, and it went crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: And doing put my t-shirt on my Tyson on drink champs, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: Doing a podcast live at my event.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like these were things to grow my brain, but I creatively did it to monetize it.
[SPEAKER_00]: So at a smaller level, you don't have to compete as big.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're competing and you just want to get known, it may be in your city.
[SPEAKER_00]: And learn how to be dominant in your city.
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people don't realize it's like brand dominance, like you know why you don't have billboards in your city just so you can become known in your city everywhere you go.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do it in a small, I think somebody talked about it, doing it in a small radius.
[SPEAKER_00]: and run ads in a small radius, where everywhere you go in this radius of ten, fifteen miles, people in senior ads, they know who you are.
[SPEAKER_00]: You become a local celebrity.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't know nobody else outside, don't know you.
[SPEAKER_00]: But y'all know me right here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Brand dominance.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think that for a month, my money should I be putting towards brand?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like somebody, hundred dollars in, like how much percentage are you recommending to put that into the brand?
[SPEAKER_00]: All the money got to go back out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I broke your thing about.
[SPEAKER_00]: I spent three million dollars on my event in Vegas.
[SPEAKER_00]: The money got to go back out.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't keep a lot of times we think that we're going to keep it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I look at my brand now and I say, OK, well, I was able to spend.
[SPEAKER_00]: I probably like, oh, it made thirty five million, but I probably spent two million on my brand.
[SPEAKER_00]: But now I can go in and I get a hundred thousand dollars, three hundred thousand, quarter million dollars off my brain.
[SPEAKER_00]: That will last forever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm willing to go all lean, dependent on my opportunity when they come to build up my brain.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I've learned
[SPEAKER_00]: My brand has gave me relationships and certain things like that as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is one of the things that I learned from, I'm thankful for having relationships from building my brand because you look at us with Dan.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dan got to know me off of my events and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those relationships, prices, facts.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just a real friendship there.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's just, it's important.
[SPEAKER_00]: So investing in your brand, I don't think you,
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the right type of investments in brand.
[SPEAKER_00]: And some of them got to bring back return on investment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of them just got to be where you just got to grab you.
[SPEAKER_00]: The joy and just be like, I'm doing this just a stunt.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, that's powerful.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because I think it's really, I literally struggle with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, man, do I?
[SPEAKER_03]: Do we do these roll outs?
[SPEAKER_03]: Do we just run some ads?
[SPEAKER_03]: Just keep this thing moving.
[SPEAKER_03]: But a lot of people say the look is important too, though.
[SPEAKER_03]: Have you, like, where have you always got our people telling you this or are you?
[SPEAKER_03]: Where have you developed this?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, larger than life mentality.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I remember chartering the two jets, like two, two, three hundred.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's her jets to go to Miami for the conference.
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember, make meal performance, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just always some over-the-top type stuff, bro.
[SPEAKER_03]: Was that your mom over the top?
[SPEAKER_03]: Was your dad over like, where did you learn this?
[SPEAKER_03]: Did somebody teach you to be over the top?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, because I don't think most people not going to have this concept just be over the top.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, for sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: Showing tell was my favorite subject.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, or we get to come in and show what we got at home or what we get to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, give me the opportunity to show you what I can imagine or what I will create or what I'm gonna do.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm showing up every time.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not missing like, that's just, I want the best.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so when I watched the world, you look at what attracts you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's one of the things that I never got.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, how can people look at the world?
[SPEAKER_00]: And not see what's like imagine somebody follow you and you go to a page they don't post You go to a page and you look at the story and they post a picture sideways and they got weird letters on it and it's like why did you do that?
[SPEAKER_00]: And it goes I'm just trying to you know post I see what you doing on social media and it's like well if you see what I'm doing Why would you do that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you see our posts every single day, do you see our posts overnight, do you see how I sell and do call the actions and do what the success will do?
[SPEAKER_00]: I look out and go, what attracts me.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's the flyest things I see on the internet or flyest things I see moving?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, yo, that's dope.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I think it's dope, imagine if I can provide these type of experiences to people around me as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: So for me, with the planes, it was like, I always heard the big niche story.
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, they got a plane to get down there.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, yo, I am visioned.
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't start what I did.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am visioned.
[SPEAKER_00]: us going to Delta and going into the airport and having the gate all recession proof and it's nothing but us on the plane.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, that's going to be hard.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Delta, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we ain't doing that.
[SPEAKER_00]: We ain't doing that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Say less.
[SPEAKER_00]: Meach had a plane himself.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, how much to get a plane?
[SPEAKER_00]: X amount.
[SPEAKER_00]: How many people fit on there?
[SPEAKER_00]: hundred and fifty.
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me two of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me two of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: He like, huh?
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me two planes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Boo Boo, there we go.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I seen somebody that something that was always talked about, that was a legendary moment.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, oh, when I look back on this, like, oh, do legendary stuff.
[SPEAKER_00]: Meek meal.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it wasn't a price that I wasn't willing to give me to perform.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because meek.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're getting my nice amounts of.
[SPEAKER_00]: It gave me a hundred thousand.
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't look.
[SPEAKER_00]: It gave me a hundred thousand.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's sometimes, I look at it as a back pain investment.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I look at it as, like, meek is the person who inspired me to want to get on private jets.
[SPEAKER_00]: I used to see him count how a million dollars in him jumping on a jet sitting on a jet count a million in cash.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, what does that feel like?
[SPEAKER_00]: That made me figure out how to go hack.
[SPEAKER_00]: When I see those opportunity to hack and learn how to get on private jets, I went hack the private jet.
[SPEAKER_00]: I literally had a membership.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a membership with, uh, who was up?
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a jet, I forgot what it was.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't exist in the mortal, but it was like, seven, five hundred for the membership and you get access to empty legs.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when they have an empty leg, they have an empty leg and like Tennessee.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a companion pass.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would catch a Delta flight, get on an empty leg and fly somewhere.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I got on the jet and I'm like, this experience is dope.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not know how many people inspired to get on jets.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when I got on it, business take off, jump even more.
[SPEAKER_00]: I started booking myself and bringing people with me.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like, yo, but the person who inspired me was me.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when I get an opportunity, I'm doing a conference and we in there this weekend, and he's here.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, brought in millions based off of me going jumping on jets and the influence that it caused, even to the point where I went and bought a jet.
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro to give you this hundred ain't that because my life you impacted and affected my life because you was the first nigga that I've seen doing just like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you wasn't a business you came like
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's common.
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't nobody else doing it like me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that when I paid that hundred thousand, I was just like, I was thankful to do that community.
[SPEAKER_03]: Twenty twenty five, man.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think a lot more attention should be focused on build and community.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now that the personal brand is being developed and being built more, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: What are some things that tool some hacks you people could be doing to build a community?
[SPEAKER_00]: Can I ask one question?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I think this is where we, it's a lot of confusion about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's the community?
[SPEAKER_03]: God, yeah, because I think I was that wanting to events.
[SPEAKER_03]: So for me, when I think about a community, I mean, a community of individuals that is paying you a monthly amount every single month.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's two ways you could look at communities.
[SPEAKER_03]: So for me, I have my Instagram community.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're not paying me anything, but it's people who follow me that may listen to different things that I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_03]: Then you have a community where I'm like, yo, Coach Kay has a community with two thousand members that pay X amount of dollars a month.
[SPEAKER_03]: Bill a community around that, but people wanna know how do you build a community?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like you didn't necessarily build a recurring community, but you amass tens of thousands of people that pay a larger fee upfront.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the same concept as somebody getting it monthly, but you were able to get that at one time.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the difference in where people fucking up at.
[SPEAKER_00]: They not build a community building customers.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're conflicting the work customer with community.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're changing the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the meaning and saying, oh, use community as customers.
[SPEAKER_00]: People want to go into mass customers.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't want to build a community.
[SPEAKER_00]: I built the community because I had twenty seven chapters across the United States.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will go to cities and hang out with my mentees.
[SPEAKER_00]: We would play basketball.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have basketball tournaments.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you think about a community, if I grew up in a community, if I changed the word, I said, this my hood and my gang.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a total different thing on it.
[SPEAKER_00]: In order for you to be gang, what has to happen?
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to have colors.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to have lingo.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to move on a certain way.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to do things together.
[SPEAKER_00]: We ride together.
[SPEAKER_00]: When something happened, we stick together.
[SPEAKER_00]: If I change the word to gang, people be like, oh, I don't want to be a part of that gang.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not trying to build a community is getting conflicted because people are building out customer bases.
[SPEAKER_00]: They need to look at and say a community and this is where the neighborhoods we go back to is where we can relate to.
[SPEAKER_00]: is that in my neighborhood or in your community, what's the fun things?
[SPEAKER_00]: Name a community that did not have a community center, that did not have a YMCA, that did not have a part.
[SPEAKER_00]: In my community, we was riding bikes, we were going swimming together, we were going and we placed sports together, the people from my community, we didn't play, we played on football teams together, we played basketball together, the girls would do jump rope and do things together.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when we say built in the community out now, the thing about build, why I built the greatest community in my community is better than everybody else is.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had basketball tournaments.
[SPEAKER_00]: We went on ski trips.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not you got to pay me to come.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is let's go because we're a community and we can do this together because we're friends.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're family.
[SPEAKER_00]: People are looking and saying community when it's just somebody that wants they want them to pay them for something.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want, don't say I'm in your community because I pay you, I'm a customer.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to build a community, then do community activities.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do things that does when it does not serve issue to pay you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because at that point, you're just a service provider.
[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of times, it kind of irritates people like y'all trying to build a community like you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, well, maybe I didn't
[SPEAKER_00]: Explain enough or y'all I see the example that I said because I did a free conference I paid three million four That's community.
[SPEAKER_00]: They show up what I'm reparation proof all I got to was come
[SPEAKER_00]: My bro got me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Saying, oh my, no, my bro got me.
[SPEAKER_00]: If I had that's my brother, he got me.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think you can't be sure of whatever did that, though.
[SPEAKER_00]: Basketball tournament.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't get Rick Ross to sponsor a basketball tournament for my mentees to come and play basketball.
[SPEAKER_00]: My community mean that I ain't doing nothing with nobody else.
[SPEAKER_00]: If I'm gang, I don't rip, I don't rock with them.
[SPEAKER_00]: This, because it's how I'm raised.
[SPEAKER_00]: You ain't in a part of recession, proof I don't rock with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, how do we come to your event?
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're not a part of this, you not include it.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's community.
[SPEAKER_03]: How did you come up with that?
[SPEAKER_03]: Because no one does it that way.
[SPEAKER_00]: I grew up in a hood.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want rocker people who don't rock with me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm okay with drawing a line.
[SPEAKER_03]: So what are you telling somebody right now on twenty twenty five who don't got the big brand who's trying to acquire customers that paid them on a monthly basis?
[SPEAKER_00]: Bill with them and treat them like family and treat give them something a rock wouldn't be a part of and be a part of the movement, not your movement but a movement that y'all move together.
[SPEAKER_00]: Move as a unit and not just oh man you know what I want y'all to pay me and I'm gonna be over here and y'all gonna sit in a Facebook group.
[SPEAKER_00]: That ain't that's not a community.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, never go outside.
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll never meet you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm out.
[SPEAKER_00]: I used to go see the city and just go to dinner and be like, yo, it ain't it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I tell people my mastermindness.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where it comes to where, like we have in this conversation almost like mastermind.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's I sit and I tell them I say look, you don't have to cost you a lot of money.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to strategic figure how to build relationships.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would purposely go to rooftop bars and things like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Where everybody got their own tab.
[SPEAKER_00]: We just hang it out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Get what you want.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can say I got a butt.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got paid for it and butt.
[SPEAKER_00]: We come in hanging out as twelve of us here, fifteen of us here, but we just get to build a hangout.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't cost you nothing but a little bit of time.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't got to have me, I started out in Chicago, going in with three or four people.
[SPEAKER_00]: I went to Philly, six people, guess what two of them was.
[SPEAKER_00]: Herman, Haitian CEO, and the other one worked out landlord.
[SPEAKER_00]: Them still my brothers tell today.
[SPEAKER_00]: Them is people when I go to Philly now, you'll grow.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm in town where you at.
[SPEAKER_00]: We going, we pulling up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Herman Dad passed away.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to the funeral guess what my brothers here.
[SPEAKER_00]: We built this relationship years ago at a dinner, not at a dinner at a bowling alley in Philadelphia with six to eight people there.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how you build community.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't build community by just saying, oh, because you all pay me.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is our community.
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we do together?
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we wrap?
[SPEAKER_00]: When do we hang out?
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we learn together?
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we stand for?
[SPEAKER_00]: What's our movement?
[SPEAKER_00]: What we look like?
[SPEAKER_00]: You look at your recession for people you always gonna see and they flash.
[SPEAKER_00]: Got watches, got nice cars, they talk about credit, it is what it is, how we look.
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you see working right now in a marketing space, social media wise content creation?
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you see working?
[SPEAKER_00]: The biggest thing now is dope content and unfortunately, listen, things change.
[SPEAKER_00]: Providing continent anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, value is not it anymore.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's now getting to the point where you don't think value content workers as much as it was, is not as effective.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, because at one point it was, but now it's an oversaturation of information.
[SPEAKER_00]: And some of it's conflicting, some of it's accuracy, some of it's not accurate, and it's so much in our community now that it's almost like,
[SPEAKER_00]: And what I always look at is I start looking at people I'm just honest.
[SPEAKER_00]: I look at the white guys and I start seeing what are they doing?
[SPEAKER_00]: What's working?
[SPEAKER_00]: What's not?
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not the leaders in forefront run as it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Rogers been doing this thirty-four years.
[SPEAKER_00]: You look and see what are these other guys doing because they are following trends and they're the ones who set the trends for us.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I start seeing people create
[SPEAKER_00]: visuals of life and dope content and learning how to build out their brain of being known for one thing, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think somebody that did a good job like Edward did a good job of providing content with the own reactions.
[SPEAKER_00]: And all he did was just kind of made himself that dominant person.
[SPEAKER_00]: Our guy, what's the guy we've seen at the event?
[SPEAKER_00]: You say you, shorter to
[SPEAKER_03]: I know Justin Phillips did a good job at it too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Justin Phillips with just but Justin Phillips did that, but that's still his kind of value content.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm speaking of like.
[SPEAKER_03]: Melinda King, is your home up?
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do the Aston guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: The fitness dude, Aston, he just got six, he has six million followers.
[SPEAKER_00]: He went up a million followers in thirty days.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wake up, push, pour the water on the ice, face in there, and it's like lifestyle, but it's such a high quality, high quality production that it's engaging, you don't forget it, and you watch and it's like, what does he do?
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's a mass millions of followers.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's gonna be and now guess what happened?
[SPEAKER_00]: Brands come to you because you do things you do same thing is consistent.
[SPEAKER_00]: But a brand can get behind it because it's not about
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not about being very well known.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a rather invested somebody who's well known for one thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, yo, you live a good life and you influence and you figure out how to creatively and how to creatively create dope content, but still stay in one niche.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is what you're known for.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so nowadays, that's how I think it's the biggest thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, for me, I'm looking at.
[SPEAKER_00]: high-produced quality content, but that keeps me in the lane of being known for one thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: So whenever somebody wants to come and talk to business owners of the African-American community, that's looking and growing and scaling my business, you come and talk to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's realistically where I said, like, providing value, I'll do it on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_00]: But on my Instagram is going to be a different look of my life and what I've been able to accomplish in Highlight Real.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when I'm talking, I'm going to talk on YouTube, but I'm not going to be like, just
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, did you know I'm a more so-do reaction videos to real life things that's going on and Break down lessons about what's happening now, but it's not my experience.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's my also experience which makes me dominate in this industry about business and finance.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if that really answers it, but
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see the content of like mass producing with content.
[SPEAKER_00]: I see like it's better quality for me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Another thing that I do see that work, you can post a hundred times a day.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you have enough content to batch out and keep it quality, you can post a hundred times ten times a day and one of them take off.
[SPEAKER_00]: You become dominant.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot of way.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a quantity game.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can go either way, but I see people who are maintaining the quantity game, people dropping a lot of posts and a lot of content, they get reach and they may have post-to-go viral, but the people who are doing quality is going deeper because their following is tuning into them, but they're expecting one thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is now, if somebody has dope quality content, like the fitness dude, the Ashen dude, he's fitness, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: So many people are tuning in to him.
[SPEAKER_00]: A fitness brand will come and pay him more than they would pay a celebrity with triple his followers.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you have dominance over Syria.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Versus like certain people going to be able to put out a lot of content.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have viral content.
[SPEAKER_00]: People will see it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that does not necessarily mean like people aren't follow.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not seeing people's
[SPEAKER_00]: pages and the trends aren't growing with people who's posting a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like you're getting a lot of engagement, but it ain't really on based off of you.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like because they do reaction videos and side by side and things like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm side by side.
[SPEAKER_03]: I still working as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: So what's next for you?
[SPEAKER_03]: So you partner with people, I partner with people, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you looking for in partnership?
[SPEAKER_03]: So somebody want to approach you to work with you?
[SPEAKER_03]: How should they approach you?
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you looking for for a deal to actually have now?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not really partnering with people.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm more so looking to build with people on the mastermind side.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I do my mastermind to where I want people to be able to come in because I know
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want the things we talked about, it's like yellow, sell up, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: So I charge ten, fifteen thousand, twenty thousand to be in my mastermind.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the goal of that is that I want to kind of cast it that community.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm building that gang, that team here at a higher level with people who are
[SPEAKER_00]: able to invest this type of money because now I'm looking and going, okay, you don't have to be a seven figure entrepreneur.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can be a six figure entrepreneur, but I'm looking for the people who have that grit in that building because now we get to learn.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we get to build together.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
[SPEAKER_00]: If they got the grit in the grind, they wouldn't go work and wouldn't invest in themselves.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know what we do together.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know how strong we are when I got sixty, seventy of us together who all are playing with some money and building our businesses out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your experience or your loss is going to tell everybody else is.
[SPEAKER_00]: So one person win is everybody's win.
[SPEAKER_00]: One person loss is everybody's loss.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm watching like seeing some of my my master my members do two, three million in a year.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going, okay, we figure in it out.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I'm looking at going, how do we get to the twenty-thirty million as a group collective?
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's where the mastermind comes.
[SPEAKER_00]: So for me, I try to keep a balance between men and women.
[SPEAKER_00]: I lean heavier on the women this year because a lot of times the women don't have a safe, basic one, build with men.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we did beauty, people in the beauty industry, some real estate and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So my main thing with focus in it with building right now is with partnering is bringing in entrepreneurs who want to go out and grow, but who want to grow with their digital products or create different type of businesses.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, hey, I'm a, I have this business, but how do I get digital money?
[SPEAKER_00]: How do I properly get it?
[SPEAKER_00]: What systems are you guys putting in place?
[SPEAKER_00]: How can I become influential in this space?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because the more influential you become, the more influential I become.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the other people could become.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we all just collectively kind of build off of each other.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's my partnering program and dynamics right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: And if y'all looking at this, when I want y'all to do, there's gonna be a link in the description, Marcus is hosting a week conference.
[SPEAKER_03]: And if you know anything about him, he throws the biggest conferences in the world like some magic giants in.
[SPEAKER_03]: They, they got against Mike Tyson, drink champs, and the list goes on and on and on.
[SPEAKER_03]: Make sure you go and reserve your ticket.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you could come learning and get trained from him and other special guests that's gonna really help your business grow.
[SPEAKER_03]: one of the biggest keys that your growth in this season is access to more information, but then it's going to be, you're going to have to execute.
[SPEAKER_03]: Last year, you're, you're, you're constantly talking about do work, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe in twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six.
[SPEAKER_03]: You, it's not just going to fall in your lap no more.
[SPEAKER_03]: What is the concept of do work now?
[SPEAKER_03]: What does that mean now for you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now do work.
[SPEAKER_00]: We see
[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, you have to analyze and we got to analyze the world that we live in.
[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of times we don't deal in truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: You remember when the laws is changing on how you buy vehicles now?
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember how we could write the vehicles off.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the reason why we went and bought escalates.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we, you bought the Lambo truck.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, yo, the tax benefits, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: You know they don't get that no more.
[SPEAKER_00]: It changed.
[SPEAKER_03]: I forgot the number.
[SPEAKER_03]: You still get to peat some of it, but not all of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you imagine people who make money now, but like, man, I wish I could have did that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or we looked back and we say when Bitcoin came out and Bitcoin was ten thousand under ten thousand.
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember it and it was like, yo, I wish I would have put more in Bitcoin then.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_00]: These next four years with this president, whether you like him or not ain't none of my business, it's going to be imperative for us to get rich.
[SPEAKER_00]: The opportunities are going to be there, but we have to execute.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or you'll be somebody who said, I seen what happened and I was there, but I didn't get to take advantage of my vehicles and ride them off.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't understand what you're mean, like you all got on the Lambo trucks and
[SPEAKER_00]: escalates and stuff like g-wags, buy y'all get them Bentley trucks, but why?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they were tax riddles.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it helped us with business, helped us with marketing.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a different ball game, the same thing, one-on-one real estate.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to, I tell people now in this essence, in this season is you have to execute with everything that's going on.
[SPEAKER_00]: Every single benefit that comes about every single thing that blows right now, whether it's understanding AI, whether it's understanding crypto, whether it's understanding how to market, being able to get out here with the marketing and understanding people are going to want to take care of themselves right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: The cost of living is going up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Every life is changing.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to put in work and understand what's happening in today's times.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not what was.
[SPEAKER_00]: What was relevant in two thousand twenty is not working in two thousand twenty five.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have to be active because guess what?
[SPEAKER_00]: We're only able to pivot in the depth of these new things because we was doing work then.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't start doing work now, as AI comes in, as technology continues to grow, you will be out of place and you won't be able to catch up.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a fact.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have to do the work to start going, okay, I need to learn how to feed myself.
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to be able to produce my own income.
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to learn and understand business.
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to understand taxes.
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to understand these things.
[SPEAKER_00]: Operations.
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to understand HR.
[SPEAKER_00]: How to hire and how to fire.
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to understand how to operate my business.
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to understand marketing and advertising.
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to know how to run ads.
[SPEAKER_00]: I should understand running paid ads and what my CPMs and understand it.
[SPEAKER_00]: What is that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, understanding like, yo, my, my LTVs and understanding these lingles and people that's like, yo, what, what are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to be a part of this, but it only comes from experience, from actually doing work.
[SPEAKER_00]: Being around people who are doing the work.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because in five years, as AI comes in, if you don't understand these things, as AI comes in, you misplaced.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, five years.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they're replacing most jobs with AI or some sort of electronic.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm buying a Tesla robot.
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't wait till they offer me one to do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Aren't they replacing most jobs or replacing more opportunity?
[SPEAKER_03]: Most jobs.
[SPEAKER_00]: Think about this.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got a cousin or a family member or a homeboy, that's slow.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody got some ass a little off, but they got some ideas.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you realize now that they can sit there and talk to a computer and tell them how to bring this idea to life?
[SPEAKER_00]: How to do his business?
[SPEAKER_00]: How do I do this?
[SPEAKER_00]: Do this for me?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's giving more people opportunities and what happens is that this is one of the worst things that we can deal with in our communities.
[SPEAKER_00]: It goes back into the wrong side of the mindset and the mentality.
[SPEAKER_00]: to have a mentality to think that this is AI's replacing jobs.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's replacing labor.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's not replacing the capabilities and abilities to generate income.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's giving more abilities to generate income.
[SPEAKER_00]: You just have to be self-thinking.
[SPEAKER_00]: You now can't be dependent.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's the placing people who want to rely on other people to feed them.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you will not be able to be dependent, but you can now, it's empowering people to be independent.
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody says they want to have their own business or they want to do something for themselves.
[SPEAKER_00]: You literally can talk to AI, have it create your images for T-shirts, you can have it set up your Shopify stores, you can have it set things up marketing, you just need to learn how to adapt to the AI side of things, but it's creating more opportunities.
[SPEAKER_00]: So now somebody who's remedial who is dyslexic can talk to a computer and the computer can help work through.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's giving more opportunities, but what happens is that we'll victimize and be like, well, people are not going to be able to work.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's taking the way jobs.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, they're just going to have to learn.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is where education come in at where you cannot avoid learning.
[SPEAKER_00]: Education is the key to success.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't learn, you don't earn.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a fail.
[SPEAKER_00]: at this point in the season, what are you learning?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who are you learning from?
[SPEAKER_00]: Where are you learning?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, taping into this podcast that they scroll through five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten episodes.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a curriculum.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a fact, really.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a curriculum, but it's like, oh, look at the views and tell me if there's five million views on this video.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's going to be five million views on.
[SPEAKER_00]: They not like us.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are we children?
[SPEAKER_00]: They view it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and they know how to do the dances.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they know how to do the dances.
[SPEAKER_00]: But what are we choosing to learn?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think that's important.
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, I think those those girls a lot.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're really unpacked.
[SPEAKER_03]: What would you say?
[SPEAKER_03]: your biggest challenge she faced over these last several years and maybe when you're going through now to help somebody avoid it.
[SPEAKER_00]: what you don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't know what you don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I don't know what I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Biggest thing is that as we build wealth on a human side, family, dealing with family.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I look and I go, I can count a million dollars I put into my family.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm appreciated.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it didn't happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they don't care.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like I remember you who was blessed with people.
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I stopped.
[SPEAKER_03]: You got a car.
[SPEAKER_03]: You get a car.
[SPEAKER_03]: Bro, you go to college.
[SPEAKER_03]: You go to college.
[SPEAKER_00]: You name it, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: And the biggest thing is that when people have the biggest misconception is that when you make money, you think that it's gonna fix everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: For example, when you don't have anything and you have the same level and you're all broke, you think, man, when I get up, I'm gonna put my family on.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna make sure everybody's straight.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you do the work and you finally get on into that position and you try to put the money back and you realize that they don't change.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you also realize what they don't do now because you've seen experience what it takes.
[SPEAKER_00]: See, if we both broken, I mean, I can't wait to be rich one day if I was out to hit it, man, I'll buy that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I'll buy, I'll take us all to dinner right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: I go do this and say, man, when you ain't gotten it, but then you don't realize when you start to operate at this level, what it takes.
[SPEAKER_00]: And for me, I always look back and I, that's hindsight is, hindsight is twenty twenty.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I look now and I go damn, you know what?
[SPEAKER_00]: I tell people, I don't want to help people on how they feel like they can help.
[SPEAKER_00]: But another thing is that I didn't know how to help them financially.
[SPEAKER_00]: Instead of giving the money up, I should have invested the money and let the income that was produced off the money helped take care.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that would've been good.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I could have put a million set of put a million dollars into my family.
[SPEAKER_00]: I should have put a million dollars into a vehicle.
[SPEAKER_00]: That could have produced me a hundred grand, hundred fifty-two hundred k a year, did not lose my million dollars and just divvy that out smart.
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's why I say I don't know what I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: And in the main things, relationship, because what when you put money into somebody, then you're mad.
[SPEAKER_00]: As the individual, you feel some kind of way later.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did this and then, you know, I work for that.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not just money.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's my time.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's my effort.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's my energy that I've built up to accumulate these things.
[SPEAKER_00]: It ain't all you got a lot of money you can do.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I put a lot of energy effort and time into this to get this money is the byproduct of my sacrifices.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm giving you my sacrifices.
[SPEAKER_00]: It wouldn't feel as personal if I knew these things so everybody's on a way to build and wealth is that before you start trying to help people make sure you're helping them in a way that does not hurt you because then you're going to look at them sideways if it does not if they don't do or it does not benefit them how you thought it would and how it would help change it make their life better their life will stay the same
[SPEAKER_00]: You just have to realize how you kind of position it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody not a connect with you.

[SPEAKER_00]: My goal is to help entrepreneurs build their business out, master the marketing, master advertising, all leveraging credit, understand if financial literacy, because most people utilize credit to go in debt.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't realize that you can make money off of having good credit.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the first key to becoming a successful entrepreneur is how to avoid debt and how to lower your business overhead and business expenses to be able to grow.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you learn how to diversify when it comes to your marketing and diversify when it comes to the services that you provide and all of the different products that you can offer.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's ten different strings you can make in real estate before you start transitioning into another arena.
[SPEAKER_00]: Most people don't know how to squeeze all the juice out of the lemon that they already have in a possession.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what I want to kind of master and teach people on is like, yo, let me show you how to create five strings of income from what you already do.
