Welcome to the Honour Pursuit Podcast, where we connect with entrepreneurs, movers, shakers and business owners who build amazing things on the pursuit of their goals and dreams. And I'm your host, Brendan Ford. What's up, y'all? Welcome to another episode of the Honour Pursuit Podcast, back in San Diego. Now listen, our guest today is someone that you know. We've been talking to each other for like a year. Teams been talking. He told me today I should have just called him. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:That's the easiest way to get to me y'all.
Speaker 1:So that's to tell y'all listen, I know we used to send DMs, yeah, don't be doing that. Sometimes, you just need to pick up the phone.
Speaker 2:I was driving today, I also got a random number from like. I think it was like Napa Valley or something like oh, what's up? Hello, and it's like hey.
Speaker 1:So you was on, you was in the car.
Speaker 2:I was just driving the car listening to my. It's an old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old old. Which is which? Khalifa? You know, the song was called the Statement. I was just, you know, just bumping into the S class feeling like a boss. All of a sudden, you know ringing. I'm like okay, who's this? Now? I'm like getting invited to a podcast. I was like damn, life has changed bro.
Speaker 1:So look what happened, right. So first of all, let me introduce the modern marketer Appreciate it man. So let's think about this You're doing what you're doing, you get a, you get a call you get a call, it's a cold call Cold call you don't recognize the number. Nope, you pick up the number, you pick up the phone and it was Drew.
Speaker 2:It's Drew, the man in the middle.
Speaker 1:What did he say that kept you on a line? Because, and then why did you pick up a number that you didn't know?
Speaker 2:That's actually a really good question, because a lot of people struggle nowadays with cold outreach. Right, they're like man, how do I get someone that I want on the phone? I don't know how y'all got my number, but the main thing was the main thing is get the number.
Speaker 2:Get the number and then you could just solicit the shot of that. No, I was like, well, he started telling me about Aaron and I was like, okay, this is a familiar name. So maybe you guys use that strategy when you're cold outreach Use a familiar name that that person might know. And then he mentioned the podcast and it's actually sometimes cold calling, cold DM. Whatever it is, it has to match the timing of when the person is in their life. And right now I want to make more long form content.
Speaker 2:So, this was like on point, and that's exactly why I went through with the call and was like hell, yeah, let's meet up. Also, I remembered watching some of your videos, dope as vibe. I was like, bro, I got a link. You know what I mean. I was in LA as well, so I was like the drive over.
Speaker 2:Sometimes, showing effort to people that you want to get in contact with also is key. That's actually how my main videographer right now is working with me is because he's full time with me, because he did two weeks of absolute free game, free edits. He was like, well, I just want to prove my value to you and then we'll take it to the next level. I promise. Yeah, first video I did are like 100,000 views. I was like, oh shit, he's not playing games Right Now. He owns 10% equity in the company, all because he did some shit for free in the beginning.
Speaker 1:But he didn't just do something for free. He went to work, he put in work. So this is the thing it might. He's still putting work. The compensation wasn't the monetization as far as currency, in the physical form, but he still was rewarded, absolutely. I think that's something that people need to pay attention to. A lot of people won't. They wouldn't do two weeks of their lives, really put in effort, give away their gift, bring a lot of value for the thought that, well, this might not pay off, but he knew what he wanted. He still had a goal. That goal was to work with you, You're stuck up, Right.
Speaker 2:They're thinking in their ego like, oh, I'm better than that, why I got to prove my value to other people. Well, if you got to get to that level even. Let's take my mentor right now, for example. I pay my mentor 10K a month. I feel like I haven't learned anything for the last three months working with him, but I still keep on paying him simply because being in that network, right, I don't know who the next person that I'm going to meet that maybe I could give free value to in marketing right or branding or creating irresistible offers, whatever the things that I teach.
Speaker 2:So that's why I stay in that and I'm always giving out free game to people as much as I possibly can. That's why I have a whole free school community where I literally let people in to ask as much questions as they want. Obviously, once they start asking me about the black belt marketing shit, I'm like, hey, you got to join the paid program. What you trying to get? All this free shit. But you know just a little bit of game. Same with the videographers, Same with you know what's going on here.
Speaker 1:Well, one thing that you said right you keep paying right. So paying actually does more for the people that are paying than the depth for the person that's receiving the payment. 100%. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:People paying me like five, 10k. Yeah, I don't need that shit. My agency is doing great, but the stuff that they learn is what made me 15Ms in four years, is what took me from a high school dropout working at Cricut driving tow trucks to now Lambos, mclaren's, all this crazy shit, which is not only thing that's important. I think the most important that I achieved was freedom.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no. The Lambos, McLaren's and all the crazy shit is important. Is it important? Hey, it is.
Speaker 2:Hey, when you floored in a fucking Lambo, everyone's looking at you.
Speaker 1:They're like what the hell does that guy do?
Speaker 2:And then it says I'm out of the market on this side Like I wonder what the fuck he does. Marketing clearly Literally so, and it's good for tax write offs.
Speaker 1:No, no, but. But you're right. I mean the freedom is important.
Speaker 2:Freedom is the most important thing, right? Because when I'm chilling with my kids 24, seven it doesn't get annoying, it doesn't get like overwhelming, because I know that my all my tasks are being delegated, Someone else is taking care of the work. Well, I'm just chilling, enjoying literally living the dream life that I used to only once dream of. Think about it Four years in a fucking cell. I was wiped off the face of the earth. When I got out, bro, no one knew how I was. I didn't even have a phone. I had nothing. What cell? We talking about Jail cell? We talking about a jail cell? I was in it. It was so two years.
Speaker 2:I did it in juvenile. At 15 years old I got caught for the third time selling weed from 15 to 17. I was in juvenile. This is called HOC in Milwaukee, wisconsin. On my 17th birthday they said happy birthday, little motherfucker, you're going to jail. You got to transfer it. Now I'm an adult, so now I got to go with the big boys. I was six foot like three at 17, though they didn't know that I was like 17. I was like fuck up everyone in here. And I let everybody know that when I first walked in, because I was watching these movies and hearing all these stories.
Speaker 1:I got to let it be known.
Speaker 2:But it wasn't even that crazy. And then I brought it to myself. I was the dumb ass. I started talking shit to people and I was young, I was stupid, right, I was only supposed to be in jail for six months, not another two years, but I kept getting into so many fights I got my tooth. Till this day my tooth is chipped my eye you see this red mark on my eye All sorts of shit that just happened this week. It looks like yeah, it does look fresh. I mean, you'll go back to end of my videos, you'll see it. I got jumped in there, but there was a lot of fights that didn't need to happen.
Speaker 2:I just didn't have a mentor, bro, I didn't have no one tell me hey, shut the fuck up, this is what you're supposed to be doing in life. Stay low until you stack up your bread. Then you could come out and try to motivate the world. But that's why I launched my mentorship program. I feel like a lot of these young guys that most people in my program are like anywhere from 24 and younger and then they come to me with all these other problems, more than just digital marketing. So I was like man. I want to create a mentorship, not just a course. Some of these dudes be coming to me. They got scrolling problems, porn problems, they don't know how to hit the gym, any of this shit. So I'm like, well, let's get everything around the business and check first, and then we'll focus on the money. And that's why I have students making fucking 35K a month six months into the program, because the first two months we were just fixing up all the discipline the mindset, all that shit, and that's why I call that reprogramming that paradigm.
Speaker 2:Oh, dude. Yeah, Bob Proctor. Paradigm shift yeah, exactly. So this is what people don't understand, right? They're like Amad, I don't have 510K to join your mentorship program. Dude, the amount of information on YouTube that's for free. My brother and I, we considered Jim Rohn to be our virtual mentor.
Speaker 1:It was free.
Speaker 2:We literally were watching his videos 24 seven. We always call him Jimmy the boy because we freaking love that guy. We're like well, he's always talking about the mindset, discipline, everything that you need, and we'll see it back then. But these principles are going to apply for the rest of eternity. So even if you're watching this video in 300 fucking years, it's going to be the same principles that you can apply. But back to what I was telling you about the jail thing, about me being only supposed to be there for six months.
Speaker 2:The reason why I kept getting into so many fights is because in Milwaukee, in anywhere in the Midwest, there's there's gangs, there's vice lords, there's GDs. I'm not sure if you guys know what that is, but the vice lords most of them were all under the Muslim belief and me, growing up Muslim, I automatically they put me in that group. They're like hey, bro, what's your name? My name's Ahmed. They're like oh, yeah, you with them. Your name is Ahmed and the middle name is Mohammed. They're like yeah, you're with them. I'm like who the fuck? Who's them? Oh, vice lords. I'm like I don't want to be part of no gang. They're like you don't need to claim it, but trust me. That's what you're going to want to be with. Yeah, and the GDs are on the other side watching me go over there and shaking up with everyone. Hey, my name is Mohammed. Hey, my name is you know, and they're all these. You know Middle Eastern Muslim names. There's a lot of black dudes. They all had Middle Eastern names. I don't know how to help, but I'm like, bro, you guys just made their shit. But anyways, I'll just vibe with them.
Speaker 2:And then I felt like protect. I felt like I had a family for the first time, because that kicked out of my house and I was 15. You know a lot of my family. They were just extremists with religion and I wasn't really seeing it. So they kicked me out there Like, bro you're, you're not praying, you're not fasting, you got to go. So for the first time in jail, I felt like I had a family. It was weird and one day I've heard that before it was really strange. Yeah, but one day a fight broke out with one of like the head hunchos of the vice lords and the GDs and me just seeing someone that I had like love for get into a fight. I jumped in and my dumb ass caught three more months in there. Now I'm facing drug charges and, you know, misdemeanor, a battery because I fucked the dude up and they're like damn young Habibi, they would call me a young.
Speaker 1:Habibi.
Speaker 2:They're like bro got them hands, bro got them hands. So now, every time some shit would get ready to pop off, they'd be like hey, bro, you're ready. Like I'm like what the fuck man, what am I getting into? But look, I had nothing to lose. People looking at me now like bro, you got kids, you got land, but you got all this stuff. Why would you be doing that stuff? Well, I didn't have that. Back then. I had nothing.
Speaker 2:The only person who was visiting me was my brother you know what I mean and he wasn't really helping because he didn't have a mentor either. Everyone who was guiding him was like rap music, and the North side Milwaukee is similar to like South Side Chicago is like shy rec is like the number two murder captain of the nation. You don't have any sort of guidance. You know what I mean. That goes back to why I started this mentorship, because you never know who the fuck is watching this. Bro. There might be someone in the middle of the hood right now. You know South Side Chicago, north Side Milwaukee, whatever Detroit, anywhere, that needs to hear like hey, bro, just because you were born and raised there, that doesn't mean that you have to stay there. I don't know where you were raised.
Speaker 1:If you were raised Boston, yeah it's probably just as bad, right, yeah, I mean the street that I grew up on, probably like six people got killed, dude same. Here I was doing a live time with me being on the street and then literally right outside my crib. Well, two things were crazy. First was right outside my crib. It was duct tape. Right on the street Somebody got killed and then I think this might have been like 96 or something there was a double homicide over drugs.
Speaker 1:Over drugs you know what I'm saying. So it was like there was like a crack house right there and then it was a small family that I got killed.
Speaker 2:So, to be completely transparent with the viewers, the reason, biggest reason why I did so much time from the drugs was because it was like a drug deal gone bad, right, someone was trying to rob me for the third time, and because I was 15 years old at the time. So I retaliated in a way that was, I guess they say, like I overreacted. Right, but I just had enough of it. My parents were broke. Everyone I knew was broke. I was just trying to make money for the fam.
Speaker 2:Me and my brother had no idea what to do. All we knew was selling, because everyone at the basketball courts with the cool cars smoking the weed, the low riders, the rins and shit, they all seemed happy. Every time they're smoking this green stick they're all cracking up and they're making money from it too. So I'm like I want to get involved in that. What the fuck are they doing? So that's exactly what happened in our life. But, yeah, so the drug deal has gone bad. Man, not only did you see people getting murdered like right in front of you when we were working at Popeyes in Northside. We see me and my brother, we literally seen someone get shot right in front of us and this motherfucker the next day comes back and orders pizza, puff and fries. It's crazy. He was running the leg and he came like it was a normal day. That's just what it was in.
Speaker 1:Northside. That's cause like growing up in a city and being around all that. You get immune to that. It's like regular.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that's what a lot of people here don't know it's traumatic.
Speaker 2:It's trauma, bro, dude, think about this. Like when I was talking about trauma when I was in juvenile right, this guy that was my cellmate for three months. Every night he would wake up at 3 AM just screaming I'm like bro, what's good with you? He didn't tell me for like a month. Ah, just like at 3 AM I was like man, I'm about to fight this dude, he's fucking waking me up. So one day he was like come on, man, I gotta tell you this, I keep hearing her voice in my head. I was like, fuck you talking about her voice in my head. He was like I was on my bike and he finally told me what happened.
Speaker 2:It's like I was on my bike one day, me and my brother, and we were headed to Chubby's cheesesteak it's a north side of Milwaukee, you guys probably don't know it and this dude came Driving by and shot at his supposed enemy but missed and killed my brother in front of me on the bike. So what I did is I went and grabbed my mom's gun and I, because everyone knows, like you know, the dunks, the low riders, the rims, everyone knows that one person that has a specific one because it's a specific color. So he knew exactly who killed his brother. Yeah, so he went to go avenge for his brother this dumbass it's kind of fucked up me calling him dumbass, but I would have probably done the same thing Took the gun, went to go shoot at him, misses the driver who killed his brother and accidentally hits his daughter who's sitting in the back Of the lowrider. So now he hears her voice every night Screaming, because he remembers her screams, you know, hit her in the chest, boom dead.
Speaker 2:Now he was in there for a legend murder. He wasn't even, you know, fully prosecuted yet and I'm in the cell with this dude and all it was with me was like a little Drug deal gone bad. But this guy is in here for killing a girl. So he kept on hearing her voice, hearing her voice. And when you go talk about trauma, bro, this guy is my age right now. He's living out in this world and he's experiencing Probably the same thing. Like till this day. He's probably still hearing some shit and like it's not fixed. So when you guys see us now right in Cali, nice, whips, fresh clothes, you guys don't know what the fuck it took to get here.
Speaker 2:Thanks bro. You guys are just seeing. Oh okay, yeah, I'm on the market, or others do. He's corny. He doesn't know what he's doing, he's him and his wife. All corny on tiktok is up.
Speaker 2:You guys don't realize the lock to be corny dude, the reason why I am this some people call it, you know, geeky ass dude, like all you know, giggity all the time happy bros because I'm trying to erase everything in the past in my head. So when you guys see me talking about I married my wife 29 days after I met her and trying to spread love all the time is because I've seen so much of the other end that you know I want to get rid of it is your revenue stuff.
Speaker 1:If you're entrepreneur and your revenue is stuck, you don't need to fix your products or services. You need new audiences to discover you more consistently. Podcast guessing is an ideal way to be discovered 24 hours a day by your ideal clients and guess what? The more people that know you, the more people can flow. You head over to podcast mastery pack Com and take advantage of your first or next podcast. Let's go how you erased our haircut with JB.
Speaker 2:Oh man, I didn't erase that I had to live with it for a little while. I long did you live with it for about like two weeks till the top group word yeah, why'd you just cut off the size man Cuz I wanted to like live in the moment.
Speaker 1:Yo, that's different so you purposely cut off the top, yeah, and then you purposely stayed with it when you could have cleaned it off. What did you call it?
Speaker 2:Oh, the George Jefferson. George Jefferson. I was going to the beach and everyone was looking at me weird. This one guy was like, hey, what's up with that haircut man? I was like it was a prank, you know, I lost a challenge, kind of thing. He was like, yeah, it looks like it. I was kind of fucked up for the people that actually have their hair like that.
Speaker 1:Well, the thing is this when you actually have your hair like that, you don't have to have your hair like that. You can just shave off the size.
Speaker 2:I just don't understand why people want to rock the Landing strip if you guys ever seen that clip with Tim Tebow and he told the guy who's like, just leave the sides. You guys know that's just whoever's watching this search of Tim Tebow leave the sides. It's just way too funny.
Speaker 1:That joint is crazy man, but for real. So why did you use that strategy in that video? Like, where did that idea, that concept come from? It worked no look, we're talking about it, sure I?
Speaker 2:got a fresh-ass haircut like this. Yeah, that video right now. Maybe we would have been talking about completely something else. So I was like, as a marketer, right, how do I stand out? All these other people got these hundred million dollar mansions in JB's videos. I ain't got that. I'm not on that level, right. And they got like 17 supercars. That's how they get to the million views of JB's videos.
Speaker 2:I'm like, alright, let me just do some completely different and me and him actually both strategize that together. He was like you're fucking crazy. You actually do that like everyone's gonna laugh at you. I'm like dude, they've been laughing at me since day one. I don't go fuck, I'm living on my way to the bank. Every view that I get is a potential client that's gonna either pay me for my marketing agency or my mentorship. So views is all day.
Speaker 2:Now, obviously, I don't want to go like the top G route and start saying some crazy shit About everybody to get views, because I still want to. I want to be in this for the long game and not to say that Andrew's not in the Long game, right. I just don't want to be, I guess, cancelled things like that, right, and I got a wife and kids. So I don't want to go down the route of fuck all the bitches and you know, like this is like hey, man, I really want to teach the younger generation a Realistic way of living, right, like not everyone's gonna have the crazy APs and the Bugatti's and all that.
Speaker 2:I just think it. I Think not to say it was an act, but it was purposefully Strategized for him to be the most famous person in the world and I respect it. Yeah, but for me, I just I can't do that, you know I mean. So cutting my hair in a funny way to get views is something I'm okay with. It's not gonna piss people off, it's not gonna, and even though I know it's good for marketing, it's just, you know, it's not the route that I want to go.
Speaker 1:So why? Why was somebody? Because I mean, you know, let's just kind of give a lesson, like you know if we do in a case study.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Why would content like that be successful? So so, if I'm watching this, I'm listening to it, it's unlike man. I need to. I need to get some attention. I want to go audience, you know? Oh, I just see what I'm all talked about. I didn't see it. Let me go look at it right now.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm watching it.
Speaker 1:Why did, why did you decide to, to use that in that video with those contexts? And then, what was the purpose?
Speaker 2:It's just, if you don't fear what other people think, that's when you'll start seeing success with everything that you do not just like posting online. Right, like even my marketing agency. When I first came out telling people I'm gonna do your marketing, everyone's like isn't that? That's like scammy, right, but I'm like dude. If you just don't care, right, and you just know you just be yourself, right, like, be yourself.
Speaker 2:I do goofy shit like that all the time to make my kids laugh, make my wife laugh, do a funny-ass haircut. I mean, I literally did that shit in 2018 before I even did it with JB. I put a whole you know, took the razor or the blade and just went straight down just like a line like this, just to See everyone around me laugh and it was just fun, right. So I guess that's part of it is just being yourself, being funny and um. But why the other side of it?
Speaker 2:I really wanted to put an emphasis on this is why the other side of it like the Andru Tate route and all that Doesn't work for longevity is sure you can like blow up, get what you want now, but then think about what you just left the world with, right, you left this younger generation with a whole thing of man not like over promising, but just giving them the wrong vision. Initially, and I got a respect that he did go like Muslim and after that, like after the fact. But come on, you're a grown-ass man, you're like 34 years old before you went off, you know.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna take. I'm man, I'm just saying like out of respect, though it's like you know, respect, top G Respect, you know the throne type thing, but for me I want to build a company like Alex Hermosie that I can sell for a billion dollars you know what I mean and still be respected. Still walk down the street and be good with my wife and kids, right like I have to give praise to the rock this is gonna be random is able to win the rock Johnson like to me, but he just bought a.
Speaker 1:No, no, you, but he just became a chairman of WWE, right?
Speaker 2:stuff on being a wrestler and like Arnold, you know shorty thinking all that and I'm like bro. Like that type of longevity is what I wanted my career right. So to the. We know this right. Like the fast results, they leave quick hundred right, but if you build it slow.
Speaker 2:You build the Empire. Build it brick by brick, as will will Smith says. He says, vama, lay down a brick, it's gonna be the best fucking brick ever like, better than anybody. That's what I want to do. I don't just like build the pyramid immediately and then it like just hey, when you look, when you go inside of it, it's hollow, it's empty right here, like I'm not trying to do that and I'm trying to go slow. That's why I'm doing like more long form now right, willing to do these type of things. I Know people are gonna be all of you know on my case about all right, you, you wish your top G is like I Don't know, like you know, I mean I'm happy where I met in my life and the progress that I'm making.
Speaker 1:I just wish that the message was, you know, maybe a little bit different so, from a mod the hustler to a mod the fighter, and now mod the marketer. Yeah, why? Why? Why? Marketing, though right, cuz you said I think I heard you say earlier it was in a whole different category. Right, you had a, it was trucking, tow truck, yes, so trucking. And then you had a problem to solve, which was the.
Speaker 2:Getting attention, getting customers right.
Speaker 1:So how did that lead to you getting more into marketing and ultimately having a agency?
Speaker 2:So that's actually a great question. The one thing I truly believe about this world is that if you know marketing, you could be successful in any industry. Like literally like I, the towing industry we work currently, till this day, is still making like 50 60k a month from the towing industry, but we don't own one tow truck. Same with the wedding industry, same with the funeral home industry. We have like six different industries that we're making five figures minimum each from, just because we simply know how to get customers for it. And then once you delegate the actual work, right, so like, hey, let's just I'll use an example and this is actually something I really didn't want to talk about, so I'm gonna give you some free games, I'll pay attention. Let's just say, right now, someone searches up tow truck near me, right, an advertisement. We'll run an ad for it saying we got a tow truck for you. We ain't got no fucking tow trucks. You hit us up hey, I'm all stuck on I 95.
Speaker 2:Okay, perfect, boom, got the information of the customer name, number, email, type of car. Then you go find someone to do it for cheaper. Right then what you told the customer? It's gonna be told the customer is gonna be 300. Then you go find someone to do for 80 bucks. You just made 220. Take $50 off for advertisement, not really sure. The math was like 170, something like that. We want 70, that's in your pocket.
Speaker 2:Okay, take off another 20 bucks to get a dispatcher 150 set. Now, do that in the wedding industry. Now, do that for funeral home. Hey, someone died in my family. Oh, bet, not bet. But you know what I mean. Okay, how much? You know it's gonna be $3,000. Are you gonna pay it? Is your life insurance gonna pay? Who's gonna pay? Oh, you know we, they got insurance. Oh, actually, they have savings in their account that we'll use that bet. Okay, go find someone, do it for cheaper.
Speaker 2:So that is where the marketing party Like you can literally tap into any sort of industry and then, when you even get crazier and more granular with it, you find the actual funeral home and you tell them hey, I'll just run your ads for you. Right, this is some crazy shit. So once you start running that ad for them, you can now have access to their database. Now you have all those emails, all those phone numbers, all that stuff. Unit pay for that. So when you take that information, you could sell it to life insurance. You could sell it to the next person that might pass away in their family. Now they know you. Better have life insurance the next time. Start selling data, start selling information. And the amount of fucking information that I'm dropping here right now. You need to be paying attention.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you only be paying attention. This is cuz cuz. Data is no more than no more an asset. Data, that's no more asset. It's how Instagram got purchased by Facebook. Yes, it's literally how businesses Do you know, right now, one of the one of the most, I would say, like low brow businesses that's really running up right now is newsletters newsletters, what the fuck. So newsletters are being sold for seven figures. The hell, you talking morning brew got so for seven figures in ten months. Wow, right. Basically, we got a newsletter right now, like you have one on marketing, right, and you get to subscribers on it. Wow. So once you get, let's say, a hundred thousand subscribers on your newsletter, they want their subscribing to that, as if they're subscribing to like the daily news. I used to physically come to the door, but why is this?
Speaker 2:cuz they got the name, the number, the you know you got the name number email.
Speaker 1:You can then resell that to like, let's say, another company right like venture capital. Yeah cuz they get the data and it's a business already running.
Speaker 2:Right, you said it. Seven figures venture capital yeah, I'm gonna give you all some game Millionaire marketing game. Right here, we sold 15% of our digital marketing agency for $1.2 million. It was the biggest sale that I've ever done in my life. I single-handedly made the whole deal from a to z happen. I I'm gonna give you guys the fucking blueprint to how I sold 15% of my company for a lot of which way you look, you looking over there.
Speaker 1:You got you possibly looking right there. We get serious like that this way you looking?
Speaker 2:yeah, I'm looking right here. I just want to make sure I'm looking into the soul of these humans, trying to explain to them that if you have a company doing anywhere from $5,000 to 500,000 five million a year, whatever it is and you want to sell a piece of your company, this is exactly what you do. You go on this website called fiverrcom, you search up data scrapers. You have that data scraper scrape information of angel investors and venture capital companies. They're gonna give you their names, their emails, their physical locations, all the shit, right? You create then a pitch deck on Fiverr as well. Pitch deck is explaining the business. I'm not thinking really fucking crazy with this and then you, you email blast or SMS blast that whole entire Pitch deck to everyone on your list, right? Here's the craziest part. Sometimes you don't even need to own that business.
Speaker 2:Yeah, as a marketer, you have clients that are making hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, maybe millions of dollars a month. Right, guess what you could do there. Holy fuck, I can't believe you guys are shit. For free, I Own 20% of a wedding videography photography company that I've never picked up a fucking camera in my life, right, and yet I'm getting 20% profit of it every month. And this is how I took a pitch deck, because I sorry rewind this is one of my clients, right? I Knew that the company was growing rapidly because of the marking that I was doing for them. So what is an angel investor looking for companies that are growing? We're growing, yeah. So I created a pitch deck of my client and I started pitching it to all these investors. I'm like, hey, you got to buy into this. They are right now willing to sell 10% of this company. Did they know that something was?
Speaker 1:you know, okay, you're being presumed. You know, yeah, yeah, this is all opportunity.
Speaker 2:I saw opportunity, yeah. So then what happens? I go to the wedding videography business owner and I'm like hey, bro, we just got an offer for five hundred thousand dollars for 10% of your company. He was like huh, what are you talking about? You're Kevin, you're lying. I'm like no dude, I literally created this pitch deck. I did this.
Speaker 2:I connected with this type of angel investor and he's ready to buy. He was a connect me with him. I'm like fuck, no. I was like I'm the middle man of this deal. Give me 5% of it. He was like 5%, that's 250,000. I was like fine, I started doing sales. So this is what I mean by marketing and sales. I was a fine, I'll take 200k right of the deal, you take 300k, I'll own 7%, something like that. You know what I mean. I forgot exactly the percentage. This was like almost three years ago, because I did this deal almost three times with him. Now we got three more angel investors and some same business, same business. So, long story short, I now own a part of a company simply because I started out as their marketing guy. But once you start getting to black belt shit, you can, you know, take pieces of these companies.
Speaker 1:So how'd you get smart like that, though? Because the average marketer or person that even has an agency, they're just going to do the work, and then most people never transition out of actually doing the work. So I'll give you an example if somebody's watching right now, and then, let's say, they have a photography agency.
Speaker 2:Hmm.
Speaker 1:Sam, they create content. Hmm, generally, that person that has an agency is going to be the one actually holding the camera. She's gonna content showing up, doing the thing, right, even editing. Some people don't even delegate the editing. Yeah, and then do the liver. You said the word hundred percent digital delegated.
Speaker 2:That's why literally I call my program that there you go right so what enabled you or would give you the insight?
Speaker 1:or was it a Program, a mentor? Was it just your knack for marketing or your knack for seeing opportunities? What, what allowed you? Say you know what? This is something that I could do. I'm gonna go to five. I'm gonna get a pistach. You know I'm saying I'm gonna get a data scraper. I'm a lazy motherfucker.
Speaker 2:Hmm, talk about it. I don't want to be doing the goddamn work. Why would I do that, bro? Look at the biggest companies in the world. Steve jobs, all these guys, bro, they weren't in the trenches with it doing the stuff that have an idea and delegate the living shit out of it, right? So if you can do that on a small scale and slowly build up your talents and skills, I think that's actually one of the most highest income.
Speaker 2:Skills is the ability to delegate and keep your overhead low. You know, in the beginning, people want to delegate to a quick. That's a big mistake that I see, right. Like, when you have all this production, you're doing all this by yourself sometimes. That's good to understand the whole business and then immediately get rid of the work. Yeah, so, like, if a company comes to me right now, hey, I'm not.
Speaker 2:I got $20,000 a month, which is my minimum, to work with me as an agency. Run my Google ads for me. Perfect, all right, give me your money. I'm gonna go on a different website. I'm gonna find someone that has five stars, hundred reviews, all this shit. Hey, do this for 500 bucks. Give me 19,000 $500 profit. Yeah, you know what I mean. I'll do that ten times, manage all those clients.
Speaker 2:Now You're chilling on the beach with your kids pulling up in a Lambo yeah, you know, with a neat within like two, three years. How the fuck does someone go from a high school dropout ex-feline I got it expunged. By the way, a lot of people like how are you an ex-feline once you're a felon? You know, I'm like you get it expunged. How did that happen? Right, we are not supposed to be in this position right now. I'm not supposed to be here. That happens all from Obtaining information and then the ability to implement it. A lot of people are gonna watch this fucking video and do nothing, nothing. Yeah, it's fast. They'll be like all marketing is a scam. I'm not. The market doesn't know what he's talking about. Oh, he made his money from Bitcoin or something. They're gonna start making up some stuff, right, but in reality, I'm giving you guys a million dollars worth of game?
Speaker 1:Probably don't know. He's definitely give you all a minute a multi-million dollars worth of game fifteen million dollars worth of game.
Speaker 2:You know, Sam, that's what it made me right now. That's only up until this point now. I imagine in 20 years from now I want to become a billionaire. Hey man, when I hit that B, then I'll probably retire. Just go chill my kids. But then I just gonna get boring, right, I mean the kids are cool, but like you go to every beach, right, you drive every super car, eventually like, well, what's the next thing? Right, it's like Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank.
Speaker 1:He was like I just love the game.
Speaker 2:You know I was like damn he actually has one of those Jefferson Cubs he does.
Speaker 1:But he's old school. I feel like back then that was like that was the the distinguished, look the rich, the rich, the corporate corporate.
Speaker 2:Distinguished. Look this fade right here. I think I think I might get rid of it. Bro, people start looking at me. Like you know, it's not the most professional, but you know what I noticed now.
Speaker 1:It's like do you pay attention to um Alex more? No, I don't know you know, you know, uh, um, Alba Pressiato is Nah, alright. So Shit, I'm sorry. What I know is now is you just have a low cut but no line up, so you keep your natural line. That's what I know those dudes are doing right now, like they'll keep it clean, low and then just no line up. Okay, you know what I'm saying I might do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, because this. I feel like I'm still in the South Side of Milwaukee. That's all good, man, that's all good. I feel kind of fresh. My wife likes it. Yeah, she always makes me keep this thing. I'm like I can't even grow a beard. I'm fucking Middle Eastern, I'm 28 and I can't grow a beard. This is something's wrong.
Speaker 1:Genetics are off. What made you change the mindset? Because a lot of people get stuck on the mindset right. Yeah 28, 15m's family, kids right, Think about opportunities. How do you get that mindset, though?
Speaker 2:Man, I think it's when you reach the lowest of lows in life, you become curious about the highest of highs. Right, You're like okay, I hit rock bottom, let's see what the other side is like Then. Knowing that I had virtual mentors was the reason why I'm like bro hi, what's a virtual mentor?
Speaker 1:Jim Rohn, Edmai, Let, Alex Hermosi, all these guys, how do you, are you paying for that?
Speaker 2:No, bro. There's so many free virtual mentors that people don't understand they're talking to you. I'm talking to you when I'm speaking, right, the subconscious does not understand the difference between real and fake. It thinks this is real. So when I'm speaking to you and telling you hey, get off the fucking video game, sell your TV, sell your system, stop watching porn, hit up every single person within your inner circle, asking them if they need help with their business, whether it's marketing, or they need even someone to help clean the floors or set up their lights. Get around people with money. When I'm saying these things to you, it's free mentorship. But how about this? Maybe so you could feel the pain of like paying, because when you feel like you've sacrificed money for it, then you actually pay attention. The saying is when you pay, you pay attention.
Speaker 2:Act like you just paid me 20 grand to watch this video, but truly put yourself in that mindset. Like I just paid this with 20K. Man, I better listen to every fucking word he says. Like Alex Hermose paid Grant Cardone 100K.
Speaker 1:I'm sure he was dialed the fucking in that conversation For like two calls, bro.
Speaker 2:I'm sure every one of those calls he was like zoom the hell in.
Speaker 1:He's like you need to break now, bro. No, let's go check that Exactly.
Speaker 2:Right, right, right. I paid you six figures for this, bro. I'm about to listen. So put yourself in the position that you just paid me that much, because the information is all out there. You truly don't. This is going to sound funny, but you really don't need to join any mentorship program because all the information is out here. It's just do you want to get rich in 10 years or do you want to get rich in one year? Right, having a mentor will take all the info from the world, condense it and here you go, put on a silver platter for you.
Speaker 2:That's why I don't sell courses. I don't like the course creators, all these dudes that are just like selling you videos and then you're on your own. I'm like nah, man. That's why I dropped out super early, because that's what they're doing Just giving us packet work, homework, go, fuck off, you're on your own. You're with me. Kind of always. I need someone. That's in my pocket. I can just hit up. Hey, I'm stuck here. How do I do this? Oh, boom, boom, done, progress. The quicker you can make progress, the faster you start living this whole Lambo Beach life, right? Well, how do you get progression? It's through a mentor. That's the fact, yeah, and talk back a little bit about the mindset. When you realize that you're just this little spec floating on this fucking ball, you start to realize like, well, why don't I just go for the highest thing possible? Yeah, fuck, yeah, I want to be a billionaire.
Speaker 1:I want to do it all.
Speaker 2:I want to have kids in my 20s. I want to be a millionaire. I want to do all of that shit now, Once I started realizing that speed is not always going to be in my favor. I'm damn near 30 now. Dude, I got to hit the ground running. Yeah, it facts. Yeah, time's fleeting, yeah, and I have paranoia. But when they say the paranoid survive, I'll be biting the fuck out of my lips and nails and job like man. I need to do the next thing. That's why I was telling our fellows here that I've only been on one vacation my whole life and I was mad, depressed when I went on that vacation because I wanted to always. I still, till this day, every second, I want to get to the next level, get to the next level. I'm not trying to chill, I don't even fuck about chilling.
Speaker 2:This right here is work, right, it's like 8pm on a I don't know Tuesday or something like that. I'm like bro, I don't even know fucking date. Everyone's laughing, Is it? What is today, Friday? Yeah, Because I don't fucking know and I don't care. I'm just on GoMode 24-7. Every day is a work day. People are like I can't wait till Saturday, I can't wait till Sunday, Like Friday night, Like the fuck. Everyone else right now, bro is partying. Mad respect to you, 100%. You're literally putting in a hustle. Guys, take fucking notes my videographer. The reason why he's 17. This kid's 17. He's making more than 10K a month with me right now. And the reason why I like him so much because all his friends guess what they're doing Smoking their faves Party, yeah, party.
Speaker 2:Kicking it with the bros, kicking it with the hoes, sneaking into parties being stupid fucks when they could be. Like my videographer and he's bro, he's literally the coldest videographer I've ever seen 17 because he's dialed the hell in. And I gotta say, like you know earlier when I was talking about I don't pray and I don't fast, no disrespect to religion, but like even him though, he's very religious and he stays steadfast to his religion, right, and because of that he's so dedicated to his craft and his family. That's it.
Speaker 1:But you know what's good about religion? It gives you accountability. So, if you really think about like, even once under like, having a religious belief. It's being able to focus and be disciplined, because all religions is different. It's almost how you communicate, yeah, but having that relationship obviously with the high power of God but, being able to be centered, disciplined, focused and being consistent.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's what you really going to get out of the journey with religion. You know what I'm saying, because we can have an argument over this religion versus that one. Yeah, I mean, those are how wars are created. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Oh man, I don't want to get too crazy in that because they might kill me for saying too much, but I don't know why all that shit's created man Distraction. Yeah, it's also money, no hundreds. Everything that we're seeing right now, bro, the Israel, palestine, non-part Palestinian, everything that's going on there, you guys are getting bamboozled. They're literally fooling this shit out of you guys. When they send out all these tanks and they send out all these, who's making money on that? Why is the stock market for the military equipment just shooting through the roof? You think the government didn't know that was going to happen prior when they before they sent out?
Speaker 2:What stock were they buying before they sent them out? Market manipulation, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, have you ever read the Creature from Jekyll Island?
Speaker 2:I read one book my whole life. Okay, well, you're an acceptor the Think and Grow Rich. That's a good book though.
Speaker 1:That's all I need. That's a good book. I was like I get it All right, fuck it. So the Creature from Jekyll Island is basically like Rockefeller, vanderbilt and all the richest people back in the day. They all went to this island off the coast of Atlanta, georgia, and they created the Federal Reserve and they actually contributed to removing money from the gold standard and creating fiat money, and they talked about the whole manipulation.
Speaker 2:So the.
Speaker 1:Creature that was created was the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 2:Yeah. And then this takes me back to religion. Man, I don't want to sound disrespectful to anybody, but it would make sense that they divide people through their beliefs and their ideology. To Divide, yeah, man.
Speaker 2:I'm almost like a little scary talking about this because I know the backlash that can happen, not only from the people I don't know if I'm going to fuck about the people but the higher powers. The higher powers, yeah, not the full, all the way highest power, but government type shit, but not trying to go there too hard. But yeah, man, if you realize that all the back to principles, as we were saying, they're all the fucking same right. The religions when I was locked up for that long I read almost every religious book like Bible, judaism, golan. I read every single one with back to the stories are all the same Noah's Ark and all this stuff. It's all the same right.
Speaker 2:And I'm like well, why do we all hate each other so much Because we believe in a different God? I think it's the extremists that really fuck shit up. And I'm not trying to like blast people, but even like my own family, my own parents, when they kicked me out it was just because extremism. So I would advise, like parents nowadays and there's a new generation, it's not going to be the same as the old one chill out on that shit a little bit, right. Just let the kids kind of figure it out on their own, maybe slightly push them in a way, but then if they don't want to go the way that you want them to, don't be so extreme about the shit, because it can really mess some people up. All my friends that grew up with very religious parents right now tweaking out. Some of them are dead, some of them have suicide and some of them have overdosed on drugs accidentally. They're always trying to find something else the next thing yeah, they were taught.
Speaker 1:It's an interesting time because you need the guidance, you need the discipline, but now it's like how society is. It's like you can't be too hard.
Speaker 1:You can't say something like that yeah, that's true. Like why are you coming at me? The society's not built for people to be self-checked and be given discipline as a way for them to grow. So if you open it up and let people kind of do what they want to do, that's when they get into the shit. That's when you see a lot of the things in LA that now is regular and acceptable. Oh no, that's too far.
Speaker 2:See what I'm going to do is with my daughters. It's scary having daughters versus sons.
Speaker 1:Yeah, two daughters. Yeah, two daughters.
Speaker 2:Six months old and a two-year-old.
Speaker 1:So that means you must have been crazy when you were single.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe a little bit, but I just didn't have a mentor.
Speaker 1:I didn't have some of the facts.
Speaker 2:The saying wrap your willy, don't be silly, be smart. But not talking about that. What I was going to say is, with my daughters in religion, if they ever asked me about it, I'm like dad, who's God and all that. I'm just going to hand them all the books, the top 50, 100 books, whatever I'm like, hey, read them. Whatever one fits your lifestyle the most, go for it. I'm chilling. I know I'm going to get hate from all the Muslims because I was born and raised a Muslim. Right, that's fine. You guys can hate on me, you guys can say whatever you want, but that's just how the relationship that I want with my kids. I don't want to be the dictator, I don't want to be like the police that's living inside the house. I just want to be like a good friend with them. You know what I mean. That I feel like, is going to build for the best relationships, best memories, because till this day, man, I've seen them religious as parents. Kids hate being around them.
Speaker 1:That's true.
Speaker 2:That's true, and friends hate being around them too. I brought man. This is all fucked up. But some of my Muslim friends, I don't like hanging out with them because if I cuss, if I talk about rap, you're really don't be silly. They're like no, no, no. I can't say that shit Like man, fuck you, boring ass mother fucker. I'm not, I'm not going to hang out with someone. That's not as wild so more uptight.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because then you only start talking about business. Right, they're like, oh, you can't take interest out, you can't do certain methodologies in business. I'm like I'm all right, bro, I'm getting money, staying healthy, staying happy, that's the only thing I care about right now. All that other spiritual voodoo stuff I'm not too interested in it. You know what I mean. So it is what it is. But we're evolving as humans, like thinking about like 1000 years from now we're going to look back and be like we believe in what we believe in flying horses coming down with books and stuff. Oh, wow, man, they didn't have movies back then to entertain them.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, they actually had to go outside they were writing on tablets yes, no facts.
Speaker 1:And they were literally writing on stone and books were something that you would look forward to.

Speaker 2:Let's get it when you meet the highest people in this religion space, right? My father was a huge shich, and a shich is like what a priest is to a church, right, and so was his father and my mother's dad. They were all like the highest tier people. When you meet them and realize that they have been infiltrated by the devil himself, right.
Speaker 1:The highest religious people, bro, the ones that you're supposed to be will not possibly be, but the ones that presumably are in the holiest of doubt. Angels, yeah Right, these guys that act like they're prophets, act like they're. They got infiltrated by the devil.
Speaker 2:Bro, these guys are literally devil worshipers I'm talking about. They don't even know that they're worshiping the devil, until one day it's going to be too late. They're like, oh damn, when you read, the book talks about how the devil's going to try taking over the whole entire world. Well, he did, but he acted as he was God and I said man, these religious books. Look, when I was with this sheikh, one of the top sheikhs in the nation, right, he came to visit the jail. He came to talk to all the Muslim brothers that were there. When he pulled out his phone he was like I want to show you some porn on his phone and quickly exited out. I was like, hey, what the Bro? What You're literally talking about all this preaching, I act like I'm the God of earth. And then he sent me to the side. He was like, look, don't tell anybody all this, but we know as Freemason. So it turns out he was a Freemason and they know some shit about the world and the way the kinetic energies work.
Speaker 2:He was talking about how religion was created by the devil to separate Because what is a real God right? God is one right and you guys don't understand this. We are all one. Right now it sounds fucking corny, but we're made from the same exact cells. We live on this one planet. If you keep zooming out, it's all just one. So how do we separate them? Can we separate them through skin color and all that shit? Yeah, sure, but what's the most effective way of separating them? Is their ideology, the way they think. What did the devil say he was going to do? Separate all the humans and make them go against each other. What is religion? You know?
Speaker 1:what I mean, what is?
Speaker 2:that? What is the government? We already know the government. Just look on your dollar bill. What the fuck is the Egyptian pyramid doing on the American dollar bill? 100%?
Speaker 1:Yo, I mean you go ahead, bro. So I just found something out about that shit, but you go ahead.
Speaker 2:So when you really start to ask yourself who's in charge of this earth. The devil said he was going to run the earth. God doesn't want us to be separated. There's enough resources on this fucking planet for all of us to be millionaires. So who is dividing and conquering? It's literally, on our dollar bill, the all seeing eye, which is not evil. People think the all seeing. No, we all have third eye chakra that allows us to connect on this level. Were you born a Christian? Yeah, An Amemus right, Born Muslim? But why are we not at war right now? Why am I not stabbing you and you're not shooting me? Because, in reality, when you zoom into the granular of life, we all got love for each other.
Speaker 2:We don't give a fuck I don't give a fuck who you pray to. You're my boy, yeah Right. But what happens when you start putting it on the news 24 seven, purposefully on their social media, 24 seven? What do you start to do? You start to separate. Who is the devil trying to impress himself, right? What's on the back of your iPhone, a bit in Apple, right? What the fuck is the forbidden fruit? It's an Apple. That was deep right there.
Speaker 2:So every single one of us are taken a bite out of this Apple when we're feeding into their bullshit. So, wait, wait, do you got Apple? I do, but I don't. I create, I don't consume. Consume, I create, I create more apples. When you look at Mr Top G, you see a fucking snake on him. Do you know what the snake represents? He knows that he's one of the smartest goddamn people on this planet.
Speaker 1:So you feel like when he got that tattoo he was in a different space, or do you think like because that's a really good point? I mean, we know what, we all know what that represents.
Speaker 2:Snakes. Yeah, bro, what? When you look very deep into this, you'll clearly see who the devil is and who the angels are, who's here to make this earth better and who's not. That's why, when I'm saying these things, I'm kind of tiptoeing around it, because I feel like I've discovered too much too soon and I'm trying to somewhat warn people in the most calm manner, because what?
Speaker 2:happens if I came to you and go hey bro, there's aliens, You're going to fucking trip out. Right, hey, the devil's here. You're going to trip out. But if you're doing it in a calm manner, like, hey bro, just be careful. What you're watching. Every single day you're watching this person that acts like they're perfect, knows everything is better than everybody, and your subconscious is enjoying what it's watching, so now it wants to emulate that and become that as well. You're going to start to become this ego driven demon as well when you start to really look into this, bro. The devil literally owns this earth.
Speaker 1:And why do you think? Why do you think that is now Right? Because someone that I mean you may have had these thoughts when you were younger. Right, you'd be like, okay, so God loves us all. Why does he allow these things to happen Free? Will you know what I'm saying With 100%? So, man, I'm a parent. Why did my seven year old son or daughter pass? What was the point?
Speaker 2:It's to teach them something, but that seven year old is not going to get punished. I truly think that there is not necessarily a heaven in hell where there's, like some fiery guy, kobe's daughter, for instance, right, or the other kids that was on the helicopter.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I don't think that they're gonna be like tortured or some crazy shit, but I also don't think that they're gonna go to some utopia, right. I think that they're just gonna go back into the energy, into the stars, wherever we go. I don't know what it is, because I haven't experienced that. I can only speak on what I've experienced and the shit that I've seen and heard and learned. But I do believe that energy is never created, it's always just there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree, it's gonna form back into something eventually, right, like Kobe's daughter might be rebirthed, who knows? Right, some people are like, oh, that's that's how long. That's this that like wrote that that might be possible. You really never know what's gonna happen. Yeah, but yeah, man, the further that you look into this world and who controls it and who's putting COVID out, and all these things, you're like, oh, okay, yeah, so the books were right. There is some things that are right inside those books about the devil literally exposing himself in the religious book, saying that I want to be able to take over. Yeah, and what is social media, man, you look at? I want to ask you this what's the most valuable thing humans have?
Speaker 1:The most valuable thing we have free will and time, yeah, in time, yeah.
Speaker 2:Why is TikTok literally the fastest growing platform right now? What is TikTok? And you're holding a bit in Apple? What is the number one disease right now? All these teenagers are, you know, experiencing a scrolling. They're literally zombies. Yeah, everywhere they go they're like this. Did you just see that new Apple thing that came out?
Speaker 1:over your eyes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's going crazy bro. So where are we going? Is this?
Speaker 1:is crazy.
Speaker 2:It's kind of cool on my butt.
Speaker 1:But I joined crazy though.
Speaker 2:You see that mom now ran.
Speaker 1:I ran into her. I don't know if you've seen it. She mom had it on and she ran into her stove.
Speaker 2:Rans her stove.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, she said, on fun, she just like hurt herself because she ran hella fast into a stove.
Speaker 2:You're gonna start seeing and hearing all the crazy shit happening with that, right. But where is this earth going? Right, it's going towards a digital era. I mean, it's cool. I know you guys see me like all the times I'm talking about money and money and you're like what the hell? Why is this guy randomly talking about like devils and shit like that? Well, the more that you understand the earth, the more that you can manipulate it into your own manner, into your own favor, right? I'm like okay, everyone's scrolling on TikTok. Put some advertisements in front of them, right, it's gonna be cheaper than ever. Yeah, sell them something that's gonna help them, not some bullshit.
Speaker 2:I don't respect people that sell alcohol. I don't respect people that drink alcohol. I don't respect people that and no offense to anyone in here, sorry I don't respect people that are just fucking off their whole life, right, because why are you purposefully poisoning yourself? If you're running advertisements on a company like TikTok, make sure that it's like something like a mentorship that's gonna actually help the people watching. In my program, I don't allow anyone to smoke or drink or any of that shit, because they need to be the highest form of true self. How is that gonna happen when you're sitting around literally getting poisoned. Why the fuck is alcohol legal and a plant that comes from the earth is illegal? Crazy. Why did I do years behind bars over a plant when they literally it's okay for me to drink now?
Speaker 1:And it's okay for them to sell cigarettes that clearly give you cancer Clearly and liquor sauce to help in the midnight.
Speaker 2:Who is this world run by brother? That's what I'm trying to get through is like. When you really start to dissect it, you're like, oh, okay, okay, I see the agenda that's going on here. Well, let me just at least use it to my advantage. All right, you guys wanna play that game? Well, I'll take as much money as I can out of this little rat race video game that I'm playing and then I'll try to leave it better than I found it. You know, that's my whole mission right now is leave this earth a lot better than I found it, because there was a lot of fucked up shit that I experienced that I should have never seen Friends getting killed in front of me, you know stabbings, robbery, people putting out knives or guns on me. I got robbed at gunpoint in Milwaukee for a fucking $3,000 car. Milwaukee sound crazy.
Speaker 1:Milwaukee is crazy. I mean, I never even thought Milwaukee got got crazy like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, milwaukee is crazy dude.
Speaker 1:You mean nothing about Milwaukee.
Speaker 2:No, no, it's like low key, crazy. What could you hear? Chicago's, literally 45 minutes away.
Speaker 1:Oh really, it's that close, like right there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's all the people from Chicago. They move to Milwaukee.
Speaker 1:They're like yo, this is gonna be safer. They like just brought the whole thing with them.
Speaker 2:They brought all the problems with them. You have to know, got robbed at gunpoint multiple times there for $3,000 BMW, $300,000 or $300,000 miles on it, right, actually, that's a funny story of me getting robbed at gunpoint. Long story short, I'm on Craigslist trying to sell my car, right, and this dude says hey, I want to come check it out. I got cash in my hand, perfect, all right, pull up. He pulls up with his friend, he sits in the passenger seat of the BMW and then my brother is there just chilling. He's actually smoking a cigarette. At the time I was only about maybe like I think I was like 18, right, just got out of jail. So I was like and I only got out for like two months because I bailed, I paid my bail and then I got I lost in court, so I was only out for two months. This guy literally pulls out this gun talking about he's fucking smart. He was like signed the title saying that you sold me the car. I was like oh fuck, you're a smart robber, right, because if he goes, if I take him to court, he's like no, he paid me cash. Look, he even signed it right here. Damn, I probably just gave some people some fucked up ideas. Yeah, that was pretty nice level.
Speaker 2:So then my brother, being stupid, isn't crazy as hell, he has a gun on him too. He comes from the driver's side, pulls out a gun here. So now my brother's outside the car with the window down here and there's a guy here with the gun and now they're both yelling at each other. My brother's like shoot, I bet you won't. If you shoot him you'll fucking die. I'm like no, bro, don't shoot, please don't shoot. Everyone's like I bet you want my fucking. So then he eventually gets scared, puts his gun down.
Speaker 2:I signed the shit, I let it go. I told my brother in Arabic. I was like, bro, not the side police, we'll call the police. You know, don't worry, bro, they'll get our car back. We didn't fucking do that, we went and got it ourselves. So he, you know, I was just saying I'll just call my brother down and I was like it's all good, just a car Puts his gun down. My brother puts a gun down. We go in my brother's car chasing after it.
Speaker 2:But we knew some guys in Milwaukee right, like, when you're there for that long and you're, you're Milwaukee, do y'all really get down like this? Oh, milwaukee is down like that. That's crazy. So we knew some vice lords outside of the cells. You know what I mean Because I met them in there and they're the game they're contacting from before. I dipped out on bail, took care of it, got the car back, right it was. It was pretty crazy, damn. I might have just brought up an old case on myself. But yeah, no, for real. The got it all taken care of and now it was all squared off. No fucking cops or anything that bullshit. But you know, milwaukee does. Milwaukee is probably number two murder cabinet in the nation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's crazy, bro.
Speaker 2:When the Milwaukee when the Bucks won the championship, yeah, people were dying, getting shot. I'm like what the fuck are you guys supposed to be celebrating this? They're popping at each other. It's because of the lack of vitamin D. And no offense, I'm not like racist or anything like that. I'm party Egyptian, so I can say this type of shit. But like I don't think black people, like African American people, should be in cold states. No, we shouldn't, bro. We're not. That's why I moved from Boston. That's exactly that's why I'm in California, bro. Like we need the vitamin D. Like I feel like white people can survive that shit. No, they can't, they're from Nordic weathers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, nordic climate is documented. But this is the thing, right, I feel like the reason why people Are in certain situations, okay, like school and doctor. Next, you understand that we don't understand ourselves. You don't know what you really need to run your body right. So we eating whatever we in for taste, we eat because the food is present. Oh, this is breakfast food, so I'm gonna eat this, I'm gonna eat this, yeah, but you know, you like, if you got a, like you got a Lambo right, you're gonna put in the highest octane gas. You're not putting no 87 because you understand it needs to run on 93 to be at the highest peak. Most people don't understand what I need to put in my body for me to be the best, for my mind to operate Right, for my heart to for my cardiovascular.
Speaker 1:That's number one, number two we don't know what we need to put in our mind. We don't really understand. If I listen to her, murder, death kill because I got a dope beat, I'm gonna be honest. To murder, death kill, yes, even subconsciously, I'm gonna be hanging out with you. Be like yo. Murder, death kill because it's on. It's on a vibration, son of frequency. We don't understand vibrations and frequencies, but who does more than anyone, the devil and the government, and the government.
Speaker 2:So what are they gonna feed the same mentally and physically? They're gonna feed them the most bullshit foods, yeah you know, find no whole foods.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don't think that's systematic. No, it's definitely systematic. But I'm just saying people are growing up and they're developing and they never thought once what am I eating? Why am I eating this? They weren't. How does my body work?
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm you know I'm saying yeah, oh, you know what I'm losing. You know, let's say, I'm losing functionality in my eye, my vision. Maybe I should stop doing something I've been doing. No, I'm gonna just keep doing it, keep on doing it. So I think that's one of the biggest problems. And then it's perpetuated through generations because if, if you don't understand, as a parent, you pass it down and your kids are not breaking the cycle right and they're gonna pass it down.
Speaker 2:What are people consuming mentally? Physically, like you said, the music and Frequencies yeah, so that's the music hits the spirit more than anything right like.
Speaker 2:I'll shoot in killing right into stealing cars. Fuck, yeah, bro, that's the shit I'm into. When I was like 16. That's all I was listening to in behind bars. I was just like all those all is on the radio. Yeah, so I'm in a fucked up place getting programmed by messed up music. Well, what the hell is, how's that product supposed to come out? You know blooming? Yeah, that's not just gonna happen.
Speaker 2:That's actually one of the first things that I do when I got out is that all the music I stopped listening. I started listening to like lo-fi and like 888 frequency hurts and like all this sort of weird shit. People like another thing too. People start looking at me weird. They're like ah, bro, it's tweaking jail, fuck them up. He's listening to just buzzing noises like I'm like. Nah, I'm chill, you know. I mean I can focus on my mind. My business started, like you said, meditating. Yeah, just sit in there practicing for like an hour. I would just listen to my thoughts and any negative thought I would just combat it with like five positive thoughts, like not, I'm a piece of shit and no, no, no, I'm smart, I'm this, like all these things. And then you can just like erase all the bullshit. We literally have a software in our head right now. It's like iOS system.
Speaker 1:The only difference is with your iPhone you can get the update like that, yeah, but us is gonna take a little bit longer. It's gonna take time as bars.
Speaker 2:You guys don't fucking write that down and implement that. You're just, you're missing out.
Speaker 1:It's easier for you to be around negative people and be negative, but it's much harder for you to be around a positive person. That's gonna take more focus, more discipline, more.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you to be like that one can have that for like a hundred days be around some artists messed up and then ruin your whole situation because you went out. Could you drink, could you smoke? Yeah, you know, I'm saying you can ruin it, like that it's just like the gym.
Speaker 2:Right, you hit the gym for one day, no progress. Yeah exactly, but you do it for like three years. You're like, damn, I'm fucking jack. I'm crazy right now, yeah, I'm looking wild, right, but how did that happen? Is through progression of time. Time is everything that's all saying. Time is the most valuable thing, but when it's consumed by all this negativity and bullshit, then you're gonna find yourself in the trenches of north side Milwaukee, of South side Chicago, of Boston hoods, that is, southside Boston.
Speaker 1:Boston. But ain't the hood is not a hood.
Speaker 2:What is?
Speaker 1:that Boston is where, like you get the accent from, you know I'm saying pock the car. How about y'all know that I'm from South Boston, okay, so so when people think about this is what Boston sounds like in movies, like the town stuff, like that, that's, that's that area.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna turn the table for a second. How did you end up with the decision that you want to move to California and also, what gave you the courage to actually do it? Yeah, some people are probably stuck in their shitty little cities and they don't know what that's a good question.
Speaker 1:I mean honestly, bro, a couple things. One I was tired of being cold.
Speaker 1:Right and tired of snow ice half half the year, being freezing and then, being from the northeast, you don't know if it's gonna be four months, if you're gonna be six months, yeah, you don't know if it's gonna be a blizzard, you don't know what you're gonna get right. So once I realized, I was like, oh, I don't have to live in the in the in the winter. Yeah, this is a choice. Yeah, I should. I was just born in this state, right, and we we happen to get four to six months of cold, that's like 10 degrees or below, but I don't have to do this.
Speaker 2:Probably walkie gets to negative 30. There you go and imagine. And when I was in jail, the fucking heaters broke. No, I'm not surprised. The water heater broke and there's 69 other men in this fucking giant ass Room. I was the only one who went and took a shower in the cold water and everyone's like, damn, that's cuz. He Muslim, he vice Lord. Why is it that? They started doing all the shit? And I'm all like bro, but what? The craziest part about that is that once I did it, everyone around me was like you know what? Yeah, we all stink up in this bitch. We got to go shower to know some like three, four more people and they came in there. Some dudes even were like praying and stuff. It was like some really, really cold water. I've never experienced that till this day. But yeah, no, that's how bad, I'm doing cold pledges.
Speaker 2:back then I was a cold shower unintentionally, not not out of choice either, you know. But now back to we were saying the same reason that I'm left out of Milwaukee was because it was way too cold. And then this is what I wanted to ask you did you notice how depressed and weird the people start becoming Once the weather goes back down?
Speaker 1:Yeah, a hundred percent people get that. What would they call it seasonal depression? Seasonal depression, right, babies are born. Because what, what else they gonna do? You know you can stay warm right, hibernation right, and, and then it's like Almost, in a sense, people stop dreaming when it gets cold. You stop, you stop, you stop Putting things for it like what else can I do? Wait till the summer?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm gonna get after just move word summer every day dumbass.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I actually told somebody out today. She was like. She was like yeah, you know, like in a winter time I'm gonna just stop taking trips Everyone. I'm like why don't you just live somewhere where it's already long?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a good trip. You can live 70 degrees. You know me. It said on the weather app that it was gonna rain today. It was just beautiful as fuck it did rain. It rain really really like ten minutes in Milwaukee the weather app would say it's gonna be like zero degrees, but really would turn out like negative ten.
Speaker 1:It'd be worse than what it is you remember back in the day, probably Milwaukee, I know, in Boston, when it was like 20 degrees, 30 degrees, you like. Oh, it's a nice day. It was a nice day, the.
Speaker 2:Sun was out, so it was a little bit, but it was ice everywhere.
Speaker 2:But what I was gonna say is that the weather app in California actually lies to your benefit. It'll say it's gonna rain all day, but it's like rains for like 10 minutes, yeah. Milwaukee's, like the opposite, yeah. Or even Boston, yeah. Y'all need to move right, get into the rhythm and the circle, the people that you want to be like. I'm sure, if you're like mapping out your dream life on your visionary board, which I hope you fucking have I'm sure it's not in a cold place, right, it's mostly like palm trees and, like you know, beaches and shit.
Speaker 2:I don't know, unless you're a weirdo like fucking trying to live in Alaska or some shit. I'm sure it's beautiful in Alaska, but I'm saying like not to live, to visit and nothing gets better.
Speaker 1:Living Alaska no, I'm roasting your shit Is it cold always. It's always cold there. What?
Speaker 2:do you know it isn't Alaska to.
Speaker 2:I think Alaska has a thing where, like it's 24 hours of sunlight, there's no darkness at a time period, yeah, and then it's like 25 was a darkness for like a small period, it's cool to visit places like that, but in reality, like I said, the vision board you're not trying to. Oh yeah, I want to look at the Sun for 24 hours. No, that's not what we're doing. So get the fuck out of where you live, get uncomfortable. Oh, that's actually what I asked. Was it uncomfortable in moving?
Speaker 1:Oh no.
Speaker 2:So like what did you do?
Speaker 1:I, bro Piphany, I'm like why? Why the hell you still live here? It's yourself, right? Where do you want to go? How did you just drove here Now? So this is the thing I was doing real estate and I was like you know what? I'ma just Selling me, spending these commission checks. I'ma just save some bread down, right, and then I'm gonna just move. And it was. And have you ever seen coming to America? No, I saw coming to America. Hakim the prince. He makes his decision, new York or LA, flips the coin. They end up going to New York and New York, right. So I had kind of like the same thing, but I didn't flip a coin. I did a pro con list, okay. So it was like it was like Miami or LA. I just googled best place to live in.
Speaker 2:America and it said, america's finest city.
Speaker 1:And that's still the same thing. I mean, san Diego is the best weather. I drove, literally $400 my pocket, I flew and then I shipped my stuff. So by the time I got here my stuff was there and then my car came like six days later.
Speaker 2:They all cuz you had a place to stay, already had everything.
Speaker 1:I came here three times to look for an apartment. You know I'm saying it's from back and forth three times look for apartment, finally find one. And I was, okay, this is spot, put the deposit down. Yeah, I came back like a couple weeks later. Damn, you know I'm saying clothes, you know clothes came that break, no furniture, just clothes, right. And then a car came like six days later.
Speaker 2:So when I moved to California, I literally had only $400 in In my name it was just in cash and I was actually $700 in debt in the actual bank account. I was in this raggedy ass BMW X3.
Speaker 1:It had over 300,000 miles on it so when that Thomas got killed him.
Speaker 2:No, that was a different one, that was just.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was a different one, but they both had about 300,000 miles on.
Speaker 2:They did yeah, cuz then they were both the same price range. It was actually really funny that one. When I retrieved it, the guy was driving it so hard that he broke the axle on it and then I had to sell it and trade for a different beamer which was equally as fucked, right. So when I got it, that was, it was leaking engine oil coolant. You guys see this on my Instagram. I literally have documented footage. I'm like yo here about to drive to California and I still had a fucking smile on my face cuz I knew it was about to be the best decision of my life. I was like man, I'm about to go reset. You know the ultimate reset $400 cash driving cross-country by myself. First time I'm leaving Milwaukee in like 20 something you want from Milwaukee to California straight shot, literally Red Bull after Red Bull.
Speaker 2:I stopped at a hotel for just a quick second. My brother was FaceTime me. I was like, oh, where you at.
Speaker 2:I'm like I'm just sleeping at the hotel right now, bro, don't worry, I was sleeping in my fucking car. I just didn't want to worry, right? Okay, cool, hit me up when you're there when I go. When I, when I got here, I stayed at the extended stay For three months, sleeping in my fucking car, trying to figure it out. And I, when I was sitting there, I had my phone and I started searching. You know, I searched where to live. I found that I was okay, san Diego's dope, right, just sleeping in the beamer. Then I searched how to start making money online.
Speaker 2:This is like with marketing. I'm like, oh, we were doing marketing for the tow truck company and the way that we lost the tow truck company. It's because my dumbass, I don't know if and you guys all remember when crypto was like just first booming, when John McCaffey he pumped this coin, called verge, I put all my money into it like dumbass, lost all my money, couldn't even pay, and then, at the same time, the tow truck that we had broke down, didn't have enough money to fix it. I was like, you know, my brother was like damn, you just blew all your cash like that. I was like I was trying to become a millionaire like tomorrow. That's not how it works. So John McCaffey pumped the coin, pulled the rug and I lost someone. I was like you know what. I'm so embarrassed because I was the guy with this boom and tow truck company with my brother and you know I had a cool Audi at the time and then had to sell it, had to get back the old beamer. It was like it's awesome, crazy stuff that all happened all at one time. I was embarrassed of who I was. I was embarrassed of everyone around me that was gonna laugh at me my whole family. They're all like man, what the fuck? You just lost my shit. So I'm like man, watch this body be the greatest comeback ever. Move to Cali. Long story short, even got them all out to Cali.
Speaker 2:But the way that it happened, that trans, that in between time was just nothing but grinding and Unbelievable risk-taking. People would never do this shit and that's why I truly believe I'm in the position that I am. I think the higher risk that you take, the more reward. No hundred if you land. Yeah, there's a lot of people that take risks, I think the only people who don't land.
Speaker 2:When they take a risk, it's because it wasn't fully calculated and they didn't put their all into it. Right, that's like what Jay Cole. Jay Cole was playing basketball on. The reason why he didn't make it to the league is because he Admittedly said that I didn't put my all into it. That's when we had to. When he went to music, he put his all into it. Now he's one of the biggest artists of all time. Yeah, admittedly, right. So same with me.
Speaker 2:I was like man, I didn't put my all into my tow truck company. I sure I learned marketing and that's what takes me to the point of when I Google search how to make money online for my phone, for my computer, said digital marketing I was like I know how to do that. My brother and I were doing that on Google for tow truck companies. So, long story short, I had a phone, I started cold calling all these tow truck guys. I was okay, I'm the owner of Wisconsin towing and that shit was long gone when I was still in and we ran this Google campaign that actually started landing us 30 new towing clients per week. Are you interested in that? Oh no, hung up, 99 people hung up, but the one will answer Google can't. Oh man, I've been trying to fix my Google campaign. Yeah, so how did you do that? Oh, so I'm actually a certified Google partner.
Speaker 2:I was but I wanted to be a night. That was my vision, so I knew that I was like okay let me embody that, yep.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So then I started Landing these people and then I call up my brother like yo, we actually got someone to do marketing with us for towing you trying to like fulfill on this order. He was like hell, yeah. I was like, yeah, this guy's gonna give us like a thousand dollars a month. He was, okay, bet, I'll do it. So in the beginning my brother was doing the marketing himself and I was just doing sales, right, so I was just starting the phones. Eventually I got a thousand bucks, two thousand bucks. Now I'd actually go inside the extended stay instead of sleeping outside of it. And they're like hey, we've been seeing you like in the parking lot. You are right. I'm like, yeah, I know some people here. You know, just my friends, I just, you know, pop in, pop out and they're just they they already know it was like not this kind of a movie.
Speaker 1:You never actually got a car, yeah.
Speaker 2:But I was going from different hotel, different hotel, just kind of sleeping in their parking lots and it was very embarrassing. But I knew, like something told me in my mind even when I got sentenced, when I was 15 years old, I literally had one of the most chilling Experiences ever. All the the hairs on my arm raised, everything in my whole body said this is supposed to be happening to you. There was like this weird divine God type feeling that was like y'all, bro, don't worry, you're supposed to go through all this for the man that you're about to become, because then you're gonna give him back To the world and the world needs this right now. So I always just reminded myself that I was like you're good, you're good, don't worry. Like this is supposed to happen, this is part of your journey. And Literally, as I was going to my cell, it was like it felt like when they opened up the jail cell to let me in, like it was a heavens gates type thing. It was fucking weird and like I until this day I can't explain it. And then I just started really developing all these personal, like personal development traits and started learning about myself, who I am, who I'm destined to be all these things. That's exactly why, even when I took that risk to move from Milwaukee, I started getting that feeling again. I was like no, this is something that's supposed to just be happening as part of the journey. Right, I want to touch millions of people's of lives, especially the youth, because I can relate to them. I've been through spiritual breakup, financial break, like physical abuse, all sorts of crazy shit. Right, like I don't even like to talk about this whole physical abuse thing, but my parent and they might get in trouble for this, but my pops, he wasn't like a, like a belt or some shit, bro. He literally would like fucking sock you.
Speaker 2:One time before picture day it was one day before picture day I didn't pray. I didn't pray Feds of that day. Pops, fucking. He was like I go to the basement real quick. I was like man, what's that? I was like I don't want to pray. He was like it's 5 am Probably. I school like three hours, let me sleep. Smacks me on the back of the head, hardest fuck. When I was going down the stairs and I thought that was it. I turn around, boom punch, fucking whole. I went black right and I was how he 13. I was like 13, bro. So my mom starts putting makeup on my eye like, oh my god, you got picture day tomorrow. My eye was so fucked up that I couldn't even go and my teachers for two weeks were like when is he? Where is he? I was a guy, fell down the stairs, messed my leg up and in my head I'm thinking I'm like damn, all this for religion. Would God really want my dad to hit me that bad?
Speaker 1:I used to always think that, cuz it's like you go to church, right, and then let's say Catholicism, so you got these Catholic priests that are doing things to these young boys, young girls, but they're the priests, right, and that's not God. It's not God and it's happening over and over and over. But you're still going to the church and these people are still in these positions. But I'm supposed to be like, oh yeah, I'm Catholic and they're still hallelujahing to them. That's what I'm saying they're still giving them money, christians?
Speaker 1:Well, that's why I never really believed in religion. My relationship is going to be with the divine.
Speaker 2:My relationship is going to be direct.
Speaker 1:It's going to be one on one. I never thought, okay, I'm going to go to church, right, the bishop, the pastor, they have these issues, you know what I'm saying. They touch and know where they got these addictions or whatever was going on. But I'm supposed to go there and follow them. But why are?
Speaker 2:they doing that. That's what I'm going to add up to me. They're doing that for sacrifice. They're doing that for actually, almost as an embarrassment method. They do it and they're recorded while they're doing it Because if they ever disobey the higher up, then they get exposed. But who is the higher up? It's like we're going to go back into that. It's like who really owns the churches and why the fuck do those want money from me? I mean, they always want this dollar bill, but the devil's literally on that shit. You know what I mean. But yeah, back to what we were saying.
Speaker 1:They keep going back to that, bro, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean it is crazy, but man.
Speaker 1:This is supposed y'all are supposed to get this message. Y'all are supposed to get this message. You know what I mean. Like y'all are supposed to really like we already went in and gave the game Wake up. Y'all are supposed to get this for sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, y'all need to really wake up and realize that you were already born in the perfect position and the perfect mentality that you were supposed to be in, and they implemented some fucked up information in your head. And, like I said, you're an iOS software. If I am downloading information, that's going to be the product that comes out, but it's up to you to reset the factory. I do like control all, delete to everything that's inside there and then put the information that your true spirit, soul, wants to be up in there. Like what type of a human do you really want to be? But back to what we were saying about been through every single turmoil, right? Physical, financial, all that shit, spiritual turmoil.
Speaker 2:I understand everything that you're going through because I went through it, and that's what I mean by when I went to jail, I had this chilling feeling of you know what I'm supposed to be going through all this. So you, right now in your life, you might be going through some financial shit, some spiritual heartbreak, maybe your girl cheated on you, maybe it doesn't even need to be anything crazy. By the way, I was dating someone for seven years. They ended up sleeping with my best friend, so I've been through that as well.
Speaker 2:But if you're going through anything like that, you have to understand that it's just part of your character building and then that maybe the higher up power whether you want to call it God, he, she, they, whatever the fuck you want to say is putting you through it so then you can teach the next generation Don't look at it as a bad thing, like it's happening to you. It's happening not only for you but for us, for all of us. Right? We are literally the telecom between each other. We are the messengers between each other for the next generation and for the older generation. I have people that are like 50 years old inside my mentorship program. They hear the shit. I say they're like what the fuck? Why did you take me 50 years to learn that? I was like cause you just didn't go through the things that I went through. But I can guarantee there's things that they've learned that I still need to know.
Speaker 1:Even with my mentees. I've been asking them questions 24 seven.
Speaker 2:Same way how I'm trying to like flip this interview and like learn about you. Same with them. It's like cause we all can learn from each other my 17 year old videographer and when me and him are sitting there, I'd just be taking in as much information as he could tell me. I'm like dude, you're one of the smartest motherfuckers I've met. You're 17, acting like you're 50. You know, but he's just like that type of dude, so don't have an ego when it comes to information as well. Like I always see people that are like older, especially back to the religious thing. Like they always feel like oh, because I've done this for so long, I know it all. That's the shit that I hate the most about it is.
Speaker 2:I'm right, you're wrong. I'm going to heaven. You're going to hell. Who the fucking think you are? You know what I mean. It's like. That's just what I think to myself, but not to go too far into that. But you know, to rewind about getting uncomfortable in your current state. If you're living in a cold one, if you're living in one, that's maybe not even just like physical location, maybe like in your household. You don't like the people there, you don't like their ideologies. It's all temporary. You'll eventually escape right, move out. If you have some physical abuse, some emotional abuse, any of that shit, it's all temporary.
Speaker 2:I've experienced it all to the extreme levels. I even got sent to Jordan the country Jordan for two years because of my thoughts, and then my parents were scared that I was going to get killed because I was so outspoken about their wackiness. In their head they're like, oh, this dude is about to get killed over here. He has to go back. But I was like 13, 14, I was so young, you know, and I think that no matter your age, you should stand up for what you believe in and don't be afraid of it, right? That's why even I'm saying things that could possibly get me killed, but I don't go fuck with it If I die like that, that's what the higher being wanted to happen. You know what I mean Like my higher form of true self and I'm sorry, I feel like I'm going off here no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:You're going crazy, bro. Again. You're giving the game a lot of different forms and then also you're giving people an opportunity to think and look within. And then because I'm pretty sure a lot of things that you're saying. It's not the first time that some people have heard or thought these things. So, it's giving them another reason to either do some research or some affirmation or ponder, and then do some research or think or continue a dialogue.
Speaker 2:You said it, though, like maybe they thought about it before already, maybe this is just a confirmation.
Speaker 1:Like I was just saying, someone else is also thinking the same thing.
Speaker 2:I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. Yeah, I'm not the only one second guessing religion or the government and all the fucking shit that's going on. I'm not the only one that's wondering what the new opportunities on the market are and trying to be excelled in every single department of life. Maybe because I know 99% of people. They're friends, they look around, they're like man. These guys are fucking losers. Or maybe, quite frankly I'm not trying to be an asshole Maybe you are one of the losers in the group and then you need to snap out of it.
Speaker 2:I was once the dude kicking it, smoking, drinking, doing all the bullshit 24, seven and I got nowhere in life. I was the one that wounded me up in the most fucked up positions. I was once that guy that just wanted to kick it with the hose and get like with all the bros and that's just dead Evolve into the character who you want to be and then give him back away to the world. I learned that from West Watson actually. Yeah, that's pretty dope.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's somebody crazy should I heard that dude, 10 years behind bars comes out and is this like superhero, telling everyone that they're fat and poor, which is perfect. That's sometimes what people need to hear you know, and then it's like look at that. That's a true testament to how someone can take their life from negative to positive. So, no matter what you're going through, just remember what West went through. Remember what I'm not went through. Remember all these people like Malcolm X or any of these type of people that have to, you know, evolve into the whole entire different person. I'm sure you went through some crazy shit, yeah, I mean I just see my mom.
Speaker 1:I used to go to crack houses with my mom. Look at that. I used to see a dude drugs. I used to see the shoot up.
Speaker 2:And I mean, you know what's crazy about that? Because when I was 13 was the first time that I started selling weed, because I would go to this basketball courts and I would see these people that once again smoking with the cool cars, all happy. And I started asking them hey, what's it about? They're like, come here, come with the crib, we'll show you. We got games there. We got 2k. I was like, all right, bet, I'd start playing 2k. And then you look over and you see this lady like doing some lines. You see she's pregnant, she's smoking some shit out of a pipe. So it's like, there you go Like.
Speaker 2:And one time I seen this lady, she back talked to this guy named Vic. I don't know if Vic is even still alive, but he was the headhunter of the crack house, right that I was there just like playing video games. And then they would give me this, this bag full of weed to go do deliveries. I didn't know what the fuck weed was. I didn't know it's illegal. I was 13. I was playing video games. Hey, I'm not dropped this off by subway. Yo, go to the gas station, go to radio station, go to the radio shack, drop this off. Perfect, that's all I used to do, right? But one time I was sitting there playing video games also and I see this lady get fucking smacked down the stairs, bro I'm talking about. She got loud for one second to Vic I'm 13, seeing this Got fucking smacked, kicked down the stairs, fell, was silent, wasn't even moving on the bottom of the fucking steps. I get up, I check, I'm like yo, what's going on? Like oh my, it's good, it's good, she'll be all right, she'll be all right. He just went back to doing his like weighing, weighing the scale and stuff, and I was just gonna play video games. Go play video games, I was 13.
Speaker 2:I'm like looking, I'm like what the fuck is this world, bro? And I started realizing it was just because she got loud. Something about money. Yeah, I started around like money, money, huh, why would she get hurt over money? Man, money is something interesting, right. Like why is he making me do all this stuff for a little bit of money? Why am I in this area? Why is he in this area? Why should I start like questioning everything? And when it started, like really clicking slowly but surely, I'm like ah, bro, I've never seen her again. I don't know what the fuck he did to her. Literally, I was watching her for like two months, come in and out, come in and out, never seen her again. It wasn't like his girl or the like, it was just it was like one of his customers. Yeah, he probably just fucked her up, bro.
Speaker 2:They were, these people were killers. Literally, I was hanging out with murderers like guns everywhere, knives everywhere, locking the door, checking the peephole every time the fucking shit goes off and I'm in there chilling. This is what happens when you don't focus on fucking money as a parent. Now you got your kids in the hood going to some ghetto ass schools, bro. I watched this pregnant. A pregnant girl gets stabbed in Hamilton High School. That's wild. Everyone. You could search this up.
Speaker 2:I don't remember the year I was, I was like in ninth grade. Pregnant girl gets stabbed, baby dies. The girl who stabbed the lady goes to jail for murder. I'm talking about gang fights, hundreds and hundreds of people, vice lords and GDs, even outside of jail, red versus blue. Who's creating all this shit? Who fucking put it in their heads to be a systematically against each other? Bro, if they're all united, they would take over the world A hundred percent. So, ah, man, I don't like to keep going back into this man, but I keep fucking saying the devil runs this earth. I swear to God he does, bro, and people are so blind to it they don't realize colors and ideologies and all that shit. That's what's having all of us kill each other, and it's a huge distraction.
Speaker 1:bro, this is the thing too. Unfortunately. If people don't focus on the money, they're never going to be free to even experience what the gifts are available to them in life. You can't even focus on bettering your relationship or bettering yourself if you're worrying about how can I get this money to pay this bill. That's true, right, and that's also a distraction as well. So if you work out a job, right and there's no wrong people working on a job, if you're working on a job and you're not expiring for something else, you're not looking to do something other with the time that you have available to get out of that job?
Speaker 1:Right, what happened this week? Right, no-transcript. All these layoffs, microsoft did layoff. You got all these big companies laying off. You know I'm saying yeah, so that means you're not safe. You're thinking that, oh, I'm gonna get this job. I'm safe. I want to college right 60,000, 70,000, 90,000 dollars.
Speaker 2:I'm safe They'd be doing layoffs week these people that are in you know financial turmoil and they think it's like generational curses. The number one piece of advice that I would give you and act like you just paid me 10k for this is Is go hold on man, oh no.
Speaker 1:I'm uh, I'm gonna act like I Paid you 10k for this.
Speaker 2:Let me see my little 10k real quick. Yeah Shoot. What you need to do to get rich as fast as humanly possible is find the most wealthiest person within your circle.
Speaker 1:Why does that sound so easy to do, but no one?
Speaker 2:doesn't know. Bro, just pick up your phone. Who's the richest person in your phone? Ask them how can I help you make more money? Right, even if it's for free, even if I do the services for free, what skill can you bring to the table? Right? And if this person let's say you have no skill, let's say this person's like, I really wish I can do content a lot better. I wish someone was doing a clips agency for me. Perfect, I'll go learn the skill. I'll be back in a month. I'll do it for free.
Speaker 2:Facts, right, yeah, go buy a $300 course. Go buy a $20 course. Go watch free game on YouTube on how to start up a whole podcast studio, whatever it might be. Find the richest person in your circle and if you don't even know them, spend 20 bucks. Go on Fiverr Data. Scrape everyone who's a CEO off of LinkedIn. Create a pitch deck. Send that pitch deck to every single one of them of who you are and and how you can learn the skills that they need within their business and fill that void for them. It's so fucking easy. It's easier said than done, right?
Speaker 1:everything, but yeah, just follow the steps and execute.
Speaker 2:The more hand what is it? The more handshakes, the more deals you make. Kind of thing like that, like get in rhythm right, because there's many, many things inside my business that I need help with right now. I can find someone that does email better than my current, you know.
Speaker 1:And that's good. That's good for you to point out because, like you said, you generated what like 15 million. Right, the company's worth okay, so so companies were 15 million, but you said there's still problems, I need solutions.
Speaker 2:There's problems every day. I wish I had a better assistant right now. My assistant's kind of whack like why am I the one hitting the phones right? Why did I get rid of all my sales guys? Sales guys are kind of whack. Okay, what about my email SMS sequences? Those are kind of out of whack as well. Right now I'm the one that's typing them up. As much as I delegate this work, I can't find people who are as good as me at doing it. So get really fucking good at something that a millionaire is lacking within his business and just fill that void. This is very fucking simple there. Maybe they didn't even need to be a millionaire. Maybe it could just be a local chicken shop doing 20k a month yeah how do you do better?
Speaker 2:Maybe you're the one that can make them become a millionaire. Yeah, right, like if I would go back to the Popeyes location I was working at or the chubby's cheesesteak, I would do so much different type of marketing for them that I would be able to blow them up to freaking 50, 100 locations easy. Hmm, but it's because the skills that I've adopted now, so if I can go into there right now, what's stopping you guys from doing the same exact thing? It's just information that you're missing and the discipline to apply the information, because once again, you might see this whole video, feel inspired for 10 minutes and go back to your bullshit, but I know that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1:Right, man, I think. I think that's a great way to end it off.
Speaker 2:Right there, bro, I mean dude anything that we may have missed, drop it in the comments so then we can speak about it on further podcast. We're gonna definitely be linking up again and again. So whatever you guys want to hear us talk about Maybe won't be as dramatic like no.
Speaker 2:We're just trying to help y'all. At the end of the day, I mean, we're set right, our companies are doing good, so what are we really doing this for? It's for you guys, right? This is what we needed when we were younger. We needed mentorship. We need someone to be like hey, this is life, this is how you navigate around awesome, crazy shit Cuz I have a mentor, do you? Want to speak about that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we can go ahead, it's okay. Boom. So number one you know what a jogger sweat is?
Speaker 1:no, yeah, you do, cuz everybody has jogger sweat, so jogger sweat okay, jogger sweats with basic sweatpants and they had the cuff at the bottom, yes, right, and the point of it was to make your shoe pop, right, okay, all right. So I had a clothing company back in the day and it was culturally successful. What I say culturally? Because we are athletes, we are actors. We had, bro you talked about with Khalifa earlier right, you listen to the song right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which Kaleesa with cool, with Khalifa water products in videos. We had Kendrick right, we had chance to rapper. How did you drop the ball, chris Brown? We had Justin Bieber. We had Chowder's Gambino, chowder's Gambino, big Sean. Big Sean did our first campaign. Damn, we are athletes. Do you remember Aaron Hernandez? He played for the Patriots and didn't commit a suicide, allegedly.
Speaker 1:He murdered and committed suicide. Whoa, when he was arrested, the hat that he was wearing on the newspaper was our brand set. Damn you know, even a week, and he swear our clothes. I'm saying is without mentorship. Back then, right, we, we grossed a million, well imploded. Right, we didn't have no systems, no operations. Right, we didn't have a management. In there, I use all my money, my own physical cash. I know nothing about business credit. Back then, right, so I was leveraging, I was, I was the risk, wow, and what our wrist was a piece of property. I risked my family's home to run this because I was like I can just get, I can just get another house, without the knowledge of how that process actually went down. Right, and with the joggers wet, we sat down with me.
Speaker 1:My business partner and a buyer from one of the biggest online retailers back then was called Carmelute. He was like yo, sweatpants are trending, but we need a little something different. We need something's gonna make like sneakers pop. The joggers wet didn't exist at the time, so all we did was we cut. We cut a cuff off a sweatpants, we put it on the bottom. I mean, we cut the cuff off a sweatshirt, we put out the bottom of a sweatpants and we just use um, what are those safety pins? Okay, right, and then, and then we just put it on in the shoe pop, oh shit, I might be crazy.
Speaker 1:So so we did the tech back center to China. That came back to into samples. There's joggers, sweats, wow. But what do we know? We did not do a mechanical patent, right? So this, literally, that's a billion dollar IP, right, we didn't, we didn't even know mechanical patents existed. So, because we didn't know mechanical patents existed, you have Walmart, down to the biggest brands. Every brand got a fucking jogger sweat, bro, that's our IP. They would have to license that from us.
Speaker 2:You're sitting next to the billionaire, you know I'm saying you want to know how I lost 750 thousand dollars in one day. I Lost 750 thousand dollars in one day because of the information that I was missing, that I'm about to help you with the total.
Speaker 1:I guess we're not ending the pie. Stay tuned.
Speaker 2:This is gonna be a segue into part two, haha.
Speaker 1:I.
Speaker 2:Lost 750 thousand dollars because I simply didn't understand. When I had a successful tow truck company it wasn't crazy successful, right we were doing like 25, sometimes even 40k a month. I didn't know anything about selling my company, hmm. So when my brother and I the truck it broke down, we just stopped the whole fucking business. Our dumbasses could have sold it. We could have been like, hey, this thing is so profitable, all you need is like a $20,000 tow truck and then you can start making 20 to 30 40 thousand dollars a month and we could have sold that to an angel investor, venture capital. So what did we do? We just dropped the ball and everything and dipped.
Speaker 1:That's what we did with the clothing company and, and, and, and what he was even worse on that we have such a call following, even five years ago, people still asking for the product. Yeah right, and we allowed a girl to come between us as well. Oh, and the egos and the egos wouldn't allow us to to continue it on and it was weird because it wasn't even like a girlfriend, you know, saying it was more so. That energy, that that energy and that imploded a whole brand, that was a second figure brand.
Speaker 2:Till this day. Right now I would have been worth nine figures. Same thing happened to me. I'm not gonna say any names. One of my closest business partners. Girl got involved. Shit just went left. Yeah, bro, crazy because now they're fighting, they're getting into all this bullshit that's now affecting business, because I'm doing one part of the company, which is sales and branding, depending on someone else to do the technical and fulfillment work, but they're going through all this bullshit. So then now it's not even a girl that I'm fucking.
Speaker 2:It's like and I'm the one getting you know messed up, that's kind of how my thing happened to.
Speaker 1:I wasn't even like this girl. I had nothing to do.
Speaker 2:I didn't even know this girl, right so now everything's going left and I'm the one that's getting the whip till end of it right Because I'm the one that's trying to blow this bitch up and do all these things, the whole company. And now fulfillment's not being Processed correctly, it's not on point, or because this dude is, his brain is so messed up. So sometimes getting into business with people understand their psyche. How well do they like, how well do they work? I got this a disassessment first. Yes, understand, like how well, they test yeah.
Speaker 2:I personally. How well are they under pressure Emotionally? Are they stable? Are they all up and down? Are they crazy risk takers? Right, like, for me, I am tolerance. Yeah, I risk tolerance. Yes, are they able to tolerate? Like, and then being under pressure? Right, I've had business partners or we're under pressure. They crack. I'm the one that has to deal with it, but that's okay, because once again, the higher powers are gonna put you in a position that only you can handle. Maybe the other person wasn't fit for your destiny.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Maybe I mean this is my solid bro. This has been a fire. No, it's been solid.
Speaker 2:I use some crazy Biblical terminology.
Speaker 1:If people want to learn more about you or if you have something that you know they can get more value from like like. How does that happen?
Speaker 2:Well, we would hire me as a mentor. You visit digitaldelegatorcom. Only apply if you're dead fucking serious about growth. I don't want no, like random ass. I'm thinking about becoming better. I think I'm eating bad foods and I want to cut it off. I think I want to start hitting the gym and make money online. No, no, no, that bullshit.
Speaker 2:First things first, when you're looking for a mentor is do they live your ideal life, right? So for me, I'm not trying to brag, but I'm living completely freedom, right. I travel whenever I want, even though I went on one vacation. I go to the beach whenever I want, I chill at the fam, I hop in a Lambo, go about to get a big-ass crib soon. If this person lives your ideal life and you want to become like them, that's the person you want to hire as a mentor physically, mentally, emotionally, family-wise, money-wise, all that shit. So if you want to, you know, be a fat ass but still be rich, then go hire a fat, fucking mentor, right. But if you want to be fit, rich, rare, all these things then yeah, then hire me as a mentor, or someone even like me, even like Alex Hormoz. He was super Jag, super rich. Maybe you don't care about the Lambo. That's rare bro.
Speaker 1:That's the one percent when you got the money and you physically fit. Those are rare things and both of those are earned.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm. I'm not in peak condition, but you know what I mean. I'm still like Trying to get there. I'm saying I'm not looking too bad. You know I mean trying to be jacked, but yeah, so the person that you hire as a mentor, do they live your ideal life? That is a good sign. And also, do they still live what they preach?
Speaker 2:I know some SMMA guru guys that shut their marketing agency down that are still selling you a course on how to start a marketing agency. Yeah, what type of shit is that? They're not staying up to date and that's why their students are failing. I don't want to even fuck a sandy names. Their students are literally joining my program and getting more results in three months than they did in two years in the other program, literally like I have a student named Armando who's just hit $9,500 per month within 60 days in my program. Imagine almost making 10k at 18 years old in 60 days and you bought someone else's course two years ago and you still haven't even got close to that. Because a course doesn't Fucking work.
Speaker 2:Videos don't work. A mentor is what works mental work. You need that support because a mentor forces you to work. A mentors We've been scrolling all day. The other day on our live call and I'm sorry, I'm gonna keep it going the other day on our live call with the students, one was like ah, brother, this is so tough it's not working for me. I was again Antonio, let me see your screen time. Share your screen time to the whole zoom call. This motherfucker was scrolling for hours on tiktok. I was like it doesn't work if you don't ain't gonna work. Bob proctor, yep, same shit. So that was a free mentor that taught me that and I fucking implemented it. You guys didn't need to pay me anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I'm gonna give you all quick, general, quick right. If you need a book to tap into. Actually I had it right here, right? Yeah, change your product on, change your mind. Bob proctor, you can get the audio book and Actually I'll put a link down below you can get 30 days of Um audible for free bro, he's not selling his book.
Speaker 2:You know, this ain't even my book, you could literally get this for free through audible.
Speaker 1:I will 100% put the link down below. You can finish this, but is this book is three hours and seven minutes.
Speaker 2:The information is out there. If you want to become better, you can.
Speaker 1:Y'all listen been another episode of honor pursue podcast. Back in San Diego I'm on the marketer, but we really talked about spirituality. Yeah man and it might change the name.

Speaker 1:philosopher, long We'll see you guys on the next one, peace, peace.
