Latest / The Hannah Hammond Show / From Hustler to Visionary: Pace Morby’s Secret to Scaling Without Burnout
Transcript
- 0:00I just don't even think I've warmed up yet.
- 0:03Saying yes will get you out of Egypt and saying no will get you
- 0:07to the promised land. And I want to be your OPS.
- 0:10I want to handle everything. I want to take everything off
- 0:12your plate. I want, I want you to be
- 0:14liberated to go do the thing that you need to do to bring
- 0:16more eyeballs to the product, to the service, to the thing.
- 0:19You're not far away from that like that.
- 0:20Overwhelm is a requirement. It is a it is a responsibility
- 0:26for you to do exactly what you were put on this earth to do,
- 0:28and every minute that you're not doing it is you're wasting your
- 0:31gift. All right, I am so excited to
- 0:39finally have Pace Morby sitting here across from me.
- 0:43I can't wait to ask you all the things.
- 0:44Thank you so much for coming on my show.
- 0:46Hannah, I heard so many great things about you.
- 0:48Jamil, Damji, a bunch of my other friends, Jeremy Minor,
- 0:51other people that you've been hanging out with, they all say
- 0:52that you are the the new age. You are the new people taking
- 0:56over, taking over the whole podcast world.
- 0:59So thanks for having. Me, Oh my gosh, thank you so
- 1:01much. I think I'm 8 weeks in and I am
- 1:04just so lucky to have you sit across from me and so many
- 1:06amazing people and you know, I'm just growing and I want to be
- 1:11inspired and learn from people like you who have done it all,
- 1:15you know, doing all the things that I want to do and, and
- 1:17aspire to do so. It's interesting when people say
- 1:19stuff like that or when I get introduced on stage, people say
- 1:22things and the bio goes on and on and on.
- 1:24I'm like, are they talking about me?
- 1:27Like, I, I just think achievers don't ever feel like they've
- 1:30achieved anything. And I think it's weird when
- 1:32people are like, oh, it's, you know, it's so great to meet you.
- 1:35I'm like, what have I ever done to ever deserve that statement?
- 1:37So thank, thank you. But it's weird.
- 1:40I feel like I haven't done anything yet.
- 1:41I know the feeling, it's relentless, you know, always
- 1:44being relentless to achieve more.
- 1:46And I think that's a common theme in entrepreneurs is we
- 1:49never feel like we've got there or made it.
- 1:52You know, I know you were on great Cardones podcast and I saw
- 1:55him being interviewed once and Sean Kelly was like, oh, you
- 1:58know, how did it feel like when did you realize you made it?
- 2:00And he's like, you think I've made it?
- 2:03Oh, yeah, You know, And I feel that way, too.
- 2:05It's like measuring versus measuring yourself up against
- 2:09where you want to go. And we're always moving the goal
- 2:11posts. Well, you're moving the goal
- 2:13posts because you get into different rooms where the goals
- 2:16are much larger. And like today, I'll hang out
- 2:18with Tommy Mello, who's become a good friend of mine.
- 2:20He sold this company for $250 million.
- 2:23And I always say it's when you hang out with the right people
- 2:26and you get into the right room, they give you permission to
- 2:28think differently. So I'd say like the first
- 2:31example of this was a good buddy of mine, Steve Trang, probably
- 2:35like 8 or 9 years ago. We're at lunch.
- 2:37He says to me, oh, yeah, you know, and I blah, blah, blah,
- 2:39blah. I own a title company.
- 2:41I'm like, no, no, no. OK, so you, you refer files to a
- 2:45title company and they pay you an affiliate.
- 2:47That's what you mean by owning a title company.
- 2:49He's like, no, no, no, I own a title company.
- 2:51And I looked at him. I was like, we can do that.
- 2:53Like we're allowed to do that. He's like, bro, you need
- 2:56somebody to give you permission. I was like, apparently I, I
- 2:59guess I needed permission. And so I think the more we hang
- 3:03out with high level people, they give us permission to do things
- 3:05we didn't even know were possible.
- 3:07And so it's not so much that we're moving the goal post, it's
- 3:10that the game changes because we realize we're playing so small
- 3:14when we're hanging out with the wrong people for a long time.
- 3:17And I feel like in my life I've achieved what most people in
- 3:24their life would go. I, I could die happy with what
- 3:27pace has achieved. I mean half a billion in My
- 3:30Portfolio, tremendous team members, tremendous freedom.
- 3:34I can look at my calendar go, yeah, I'm not doing that today
- 3:37and it doesn't affect me whatsoever.
- 3:39We have loans we're funding today, we have deals we're
- 3:42buying today. We have RV parks that we're
- 3:44funding and buying and multi family distributions going out
- 3:47to our investors. And I'm not involved at all.
- 3:51And so I think a lot of people would look at and go, that is
- 3:53the achievement of a lifetime. And I'm like, I'm sitting there
- 3:56going. I just don't even think I've
- 3:58warmed up yet. I just don't think I've even
- 4:01warmed up. I feel like there's something
- 4:03much larger or maybe this has all been the warm up for
- 4:05something bigger than I can even imagine.
- 4:08And looking at people like Grant Cardone, you know, I'll have
- 4:12dinner with him or he's on our TV show, mine and Jamil's TV
- 4:14show. We'll hang out, we'll text,
- 4:15whatever. That guy at 66 years old is
- 4:22still grinding at such a high level worth $1.4 billion.
- 4:26Like I bet you right now your goal is not to be worth a
- 4:29billion dollars. It is.
- 4:30Oh, it is. OK, cool.
- 4:31For me, the longest time I that was like, that's not even
- 4:34feasible. It's not even possible for me.
- 4:36And when you hang out with these people, you don't just start
- 4:39thinking it's possible. You almost feel like it's the
- 4:42requirement. Like that is what we do.
- 4:46Just like when I was growing up. We go to church on Sundays,
- 4:49right? You hang out with these people.
- 4:50No, we become billionaires. That's what happens.
- 4:53It's interesting when you hang out with the right people, what
- 4:55happens to you? Everything changes.
- 4:56Yeah, I remember Tommy Mello is a a friend and he's in one of my
- 5:00100K group masterminds and listening to him.
- 5:03I'm actually halfway through his book right now, Elevate, which
- 5:05is really good. It's amazing actually.
- 5:08But yeah, it's, it's to it, it forces you to think so much
- 5:13bigger than what you ever could have thought before.
- 5:17Like you said, like my goal wasn't to be a billionaire last
- 5:19year, last year. My goal is very different.
- 5:22And I'm even, I'm struggling right now because it's so
- 5:25overwhelming to me because I know I'm going to get there, but
- 5:26I have to think so much differently if I'm going to get
- 5:29there. Because I could easily spend my
- 5:31whole life building a company or a system or a process or
- 5:34procedure and all the things to get to 100 million or 50 million
- 5:37or whatever you put in your head, right?
- 5:39And so you have to shift. You have to, I mean, they're
- 5:41just different levels of the game and what's going to what
- 5:44got you here isn't going to be what gets you there.
- 5:46Yeah, Dean Graziosi sent me a text a couple days ago and he
- 5:49said saying yes will get you out of Egypt and saying no will get
- 5:55you to the promised land, which, you know, when if you're
- 5:57biblical and you're into the Bible and all the stories about
- 6:00how they escaped Egypt and but then they wandered through the
- 6:03the wilderness for 40 years. It was because they had to
- 6:07start. They said yes to something for
- 6:09liberation. And then they got stuck in the
- 6:10desert for 40 years because they were saying yes to other things.
- 6:13You have to start saying no. And I'm in the phase of my life
- 6:16that's no, which is really hard because when you first start out
- 6:21and you get on this mission and it's attack, attack, attack.
- 6:25You say yes to everything. You say yes to every podcast,
- 6:27every stage, every business meeting, every like even this
- 6:30morning I text my team, like 6 people on my team and I go, why
- 6:34is this thing on my calendar? Who somebody needs to take that
- 6:38meeting? Not me.
- 6:39I don't know why that meeting's on my calendar.
- 6:40And they were like, Oh my gosh, I don't know why they invited
- 6:43you. Don't worry, I got it right.
- 6:44Like I look at my calendar now and I'm like, give me 5 reasons
- 6:49why I should be there. Whereas 789 years ago, it's
- 6:53like, please, dear God, give me an opportunity just so I can say
- 6:57yes, right? And so things will they do
- 7:00change and you're in that overwhelm moment or a year or
- 7:04maybe 2 years. And then you'll start attracting
- 7:06people that will want to help you in your mission.
- 7:09And you'll get some people underneath you that are like,
- 7:12hey, Hannah, I don't, it's, I don't even care about the money.
- 7:14I believe in you and I want to help you get to where you want
- 7:18to go, right? These entrepreneurs, you're an
- 7:20entrepreneur, you're going to attract an intrapreneur,
- 7:23somebody that is like, I want to help you build your business.
- 7:26Somebody that's like, I don't want to take the risk.
- 7:28I don't want to go out there and do the thing.
- 7:29I've got like 12 of those people that are like, thank you Pace
- 7:32for being this weirdo that will take on all the risk.
- 7:36We feel like we're running a business even though we don't
- 7:38have to deal with the risk. You're going to attract those
- 7:40people over the next 12 months and people are going to come to
- 7:43you just because of who you are and the people and the content
- 7:46you're providing and the value you're providing.
- 7:49People are going to get to know you and randomly somebody's
- 7:51going to call you or text you or e-mail you and go, Hannah, I
- 7:53need to work for you and I want to be your OPS.
- 7:55I want to handle everything. I want to take everything off
- 7:58your plate. I want, I want you to be
- 7:59liberated to go do the thing that you need to do to bring
- 8:02more eyeballs to the product, to the service, to the thing.
- 8:04You're not far away from that like that.
- 8:06Overwhelm is a requirement. Can you tell I'm overwhelmed?
- 8:10Yeah, I mean, I it's a requirement.
- 8:11People are like pace, I'm overwhelmed.
- 8:13I'm like, first shut your mouth and go to work. 2 The harder you
- 8:18work, the more you'll attract somebody really powerful and
- 8:22people will say, how did you, how did you find all these
- 8:25amazing people to help you run your business?
- 8:26I said I didn't find them. I changed who I was and I
- 8:32attracted them. And those people are attracted
- 8:35to the mission of what I was accomplishing and what I wanted
- 8:37to accomplish and how I wanted to change the industry in which
- 8:39I operate in. I mean, I've disrupt, I've
- 8:42disrupted my entire industry to the point where the old heads,
- 8:46the old guys that, you know, had the grapple hold on my industry
- 8:49before, hate me. And I am so grateful for their
- 8:51hate because it means I'm changing things dramatically and
- 8:55I'm inviting new people into my into the world and opening up
- 8:58this world that other people didn't have access to because
- 9:00these old heads were holding it hostage.
- 9:02And so you attract and you will attract some magical people.
- 9:05They'll maybe come from this podcast, I don't know.
- 9:07And they'll say, Hannah, how do I, how do I support you and what
- 9:10you're doing? How do I build what you're
- 9:11doing? And you're going to feel weird
- 9:12by it because you're going to go, well, why would you build my
- 9:15thing? Why wouldn't you go build your
- 9:16thing? You're going to attract that
- 9:18person. You're going to attract a
- 9:19Lieutenant, You're going to attract somebody who's like
- 9:21second in command that is just as good as a business owner as
- 9:24you, but they just don't want the risk.
- 9:26And they'll help you take it to the next level.
- 9:28It's exactly where I'm at and what I'm looking for.
- 9:30Yeah, I've got in my in my life, I've got a Molly, a Jade, a
- 9:34Heidi, a Shelley, a Kelly, a Sarabi, a Melissa, a Melissa,
- 9:38Chloe, a Kimberly. I've got all these people that I
- 9:41can delegate Ashley. So shout out to all the all the
- 9:44girls on the team. And then I've got a a bow one
- 9:46guy. And then I've got a handful of
- 9:49partners that I own businesses with, but the people that I
- 9:52delegate things to that do a better job than me.
- 9:54Oh, and Heather, that shout out to Heather, new hire on the team
- 9:57for our lending business. They do a better job than I ever
- 10:01could have done. They believe in the mission and
- 10:03they're like, how what if we do this and what if we do this and
- 10:05how do we take it to the next level?
- 10:06Oh my, I feel like I didn't deserve it.
- 10:08For the longest time. I really, I felt like that and I
- 10:10was a solopreneur for a very, very long time.
- 10:14And sadly, it comes down to personal development and
- 10:17attracting those people. And you're in that phase right
- 10:19now. You're becoming that magnet.
- 10:21You'll find somebody and they'll take it to the whole next level.
- 10:24You'll feel guilty and you'll feel unworthy for a while.
- 10:26And then you wake up and you're like, Oh my gosh, this person is
- 10:29like, really built for this role.
- 10:31So OPS is what you need, huh? Mm Hmm.
- 10:34I'm textbook visionary. A lot of ideas.
- 10:38Yeah, yeah. And so, so I I'm so inspired by
- 10:41you and what you've built and you're clearly the same
- 10:44visionary through and through. And you're a creator and you're
- 10:46a connector. And and so take me back.
- 10:51Like what was your journey like from the beginning?
- 10:53I like, I like to go into what spurred this crazy drive to, you
- 10:57know, people don't just say, oh, I want to be a billionaire,
- 10:58right? Only a few, a few handful of
- 11:00select people in the world have that DNA switch or what did
- 11:05that? Like when did that switch take
- 11:06off for you? Where where you decided I'm
- 11:08going to be very successful. I'm going to build something
- 11:11great and I'm going to do this. And what was that journey?
- 11:16Great question. So I grew up in a family of 12
- 11:19kids. I'm #3 changed a lot of diapers,
- 11:23washed a lot of dishes, learned how to love work, right.
- 11:27My parents woke us up at 4 O clock in the morning.
- 11:31We read the Bible every morning. We sat around in a circle, read
- 11:34the Bible and you know, go around, everybody reads a verse
- 11:38and then shares what was their favorite verse, how we're going
- 11:41to implement it through our day. So like, that was the house I
- 11:43grew up in. I grew up essentially with a
- 11:46cheat code, right? Parents that are still together
- 11:49to this day, religious, hard working.
- 11:52My mom trained me. She trained something into my
- 11:55head, something that drives my wife wild for a couple years
- 11:58when we were first together is like, I never, I'm never
- 12:02shoeless. I always have shoes on.
- 12:05And it's something weird that my mom put in my brain when I was
- 12:07really small. She would train all of us in the
- 12:09household. Get your shoes on first thing
- 12:11you wake up, get your shoes on. I mean 4:00 in the morning, like
- 12:14you think we should walk around the house with no shoes Like
- 12:16that's what everybody's doing running around Saturdays hanging
- 12:18out on the couch with no shoes. Oh no, my mom is like, you never
- 12:21know who's going to call and need your help.
- 12:23You better have some freaking shoes on.
- 12:25Could be the neighbor. They need help with groceries.
- 12:27They need help mowing the lawn. They need help moving.
- 12:29They need help with something. Somebody's sick, let's go take
- 12:32him dinner. Like that's the household I grew
- 12:33up in. That was normal.
- 12:36That was like what I thought life was.
- 12:38And then when I became I'm an adult and 18 I decided to go on
- 12:42a mission for my church. I'm a Mormon dude and I went and
- 12:45lived in Korea and I sold Jesus door to door.
- 12:48I knocked 79,700 doors and spoke Korean for two straight years
- 12:54and nothing is harder than what I did there.
- 12:57Everything since age 1920 and 21 is a day off from that.
- 13:02Everything I slept on the floor, we slept on things called yo's.
- 13:07Like they roll their, their beds out on the floor.
- 13:08They roll them back up in the morning when you wake up.
- 13:10Like you don't sleep on on a mattress and there's no central
- 13:14heating and, and cooling. So you're sleeping on the floor
- 13:16and the floor has water running through it, right pipes that
- 13:19heat it or cool it during the summertime.
- 13:21So the only way to stay warm in the winter time is to lay down
- 13:23on the floor. Like that's what I did from
- 13:2519/20/21 and it humbled me. It taught me hard work.
- 13:31It taught me to love having a partner because as a missionary,
- 13:34you only have, you are never allowed to be without a
- 13:37companion. OK.
- 13:39The only time I could be without my companion is if I'm in the
- 13:41shower. That's it.
- 13:43So I, we always have to be with an eyesight of each other.
- 13:45We always have to be protecting each other.
- 13:48And so for two years, think about that.
- 13:49Collaboration is so important to me.
- 13:51It's why my relationship with Jamil is so strong is because
- 13:54Jamil is my modern day companion.
- 13:56Like him and I are always together hanging out.
- 13:58He's the godfather of my children.
- 14:00You know, 8 years. I could cry just talking about
- 14:03how powerful that man has been in my life.
- 14:04But so 21, I come home and I didn't have options other than
- 14:11what I knew. And what I knew was what my dad
- 14:13did. My dad was a contractor so he
- 14:15taught me when I was young. I remember I needed 20 bucks for
- 14:20a date or something and my dad would never give me money.
- 14:23My dad say OK no problem come to the job site, paint the
- 14:26baseboards, do the this haul the this do the I was basically I
- 14:30just learned if I want something you.
- 14:33Work for it. It was instilled in me.
- 14:34My dad didn't teach me those lessons verbally.
- 14:37My dad was like, no, you want something, here it is.
- 14:39Here's the opportunity right there.
- 14:41And so for me, anything I want, I just go get it.
- 14:44I have a cheat code and everybody else is like, I'm, you
- 14:47know, a lot of the people I teach that are 5060.
- 14:49I have people. My somebody in my community is
- 14:5192 years old, got her first real estate deal just a couple weeks
- 14:55ago. And she's like, nobody ever
- 14:57taught me work ethic like you, like you've taught me work ethic
- 15:00at 92, right? And so my, my parents taught me
- 15:04consistency. They taught me how to love
- 15:06people, how to serve people. And then so did my church.
- 15:10And then I came home and I got into construction, and that the
- 15:13reason I got into construction is because I understood how to
- 15:15trade time for money. And I understood work, work,
- 15:19work, work, work, work, work. And then I realized that a day,
- 15:24I was probably 26, I called my dad and I would call my dad
- 15:27frequently for advice on money. And I realized at 26 I had
- 15:31outgrown my dad's advice when I was 16 and he was giving me bad
- 15:35advice from 16 to 26. The advice I, I, I asked for
- 15:39was, hey, dad, I, I need to make more money as a contractor.
- 15:43And his answer was always work more, take on more jobs.
- 15:46Like it's OK to sacrifice time away from the house and those
- 15:50types of things. Then it was, well, maybe you
- 15:53should sacrifice some Saturdays and work.
- 15:54OK, cool, I'll do that too. Cool.
- 15:56I do all that. And then one day I call him at
- 15:5826 and he says, well, you know, sometimes you got to work half
- 16:00day Sundays to try and catch up. And that's what I've done my
- 16:03whole life. And I'm looking at my dad who's
- 16:0560 at the time. And I'm like, there ain't no
- 16:07way. There ain't no way I'm following
- 16:09that advice. And so I went and hired A
- 16:12mindset coach as a blue collar guy, that was the hardest thing
- 16:16for me is to, to hire a coach. Now, are you kidding me?
- 16:19I look at this year, I'll probably spend half $1,000,000
- 16:21on my education, self development, half 1,000,000
- 16:24bucks this year. But I I paid $500 a month to sit
- 16:28down with this guy named John Boehm.
- 16:30And he now is the head mindset coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
- 16:35And we would meet in a Starbucks for an hour and I'd pay him 500
- 16:38bucks, best $500 I ever spent in my life.
- 16:40And he realigned me and told me you can't trade time for money.
- 16:44You need to own your business. You need to become an owner, not
- 16:47an operator. And I started scaling and I
- 16:50scaled my construction company to doing $25 million a year.
- 16:54And then I had this lady that came to me and she gave me an
- 16:59opportunity to learn how to get into actual like ownership of
- 17:01real estate. I still didn't understand at age
- 17:0330, I did not know how to get like own real estate.
- 17:07And it was just always a mentor along the way that would take my
- 17:12work ethic that I was born with or my parents instilled in me.
- 17:15And they would go, dude, you're, you're banging your head against
- 17:17the wall. Let me redirect you.
- 17:18And so it was always a coach that redirected me.
- 17:21Still to this day, it's always a coach.
- 17:22Somebody sends me, I get a 4 minute voice memo from Dean
- 17:25Graziosi this morning. Like, hey, I've been watching
- 17:27you and I wanted 4 minutes. He goes, don't reply to me, just
- 17:32go. Go do the thing I just told you
- 17:33to do, right? Like I'm very lucky and grateful
- 17:36that I have these friends that will just tell me how to
- 17:39redirect my work ethic. But to give you the answer, I
- 17:42don't think I ever had to build it up like other people.
- 17:45I'm sure that you've talked to her like, oh, I was lazy.
- 17:46I was this dude. I I've never drank, I've never
- 17:49smoked, I've never done a pill. I've never partied.
- 17:51I've never I'm a one woman guy monogamy.
- 17:54Like, Oh my gosh, I'm so freaking in love with my my
- 17:58wife. My biggest goal this year is to
- 18:00not sleep away from my house. Like again, Tony Robbins sends
- 18:03me a text. Hey, you're going to be at
- 18:04funnel hacking live this weekend.
- 18:05Nope, If it requires me to spend any night away from my wife and
- 18:09my kids ain't happening. So I don't think work ethic has
- 18:14ever been my problem. I don't think drive has ever
- 18:17been my problem, but directing it to a place that it will
- 18:21provide the appropriate fruits so that I don't have to do it
- 18:24for the rest of my life. And now, ironically, I'm at a
- 18:27point where I don't have to work ever again.
- 18:29And I'm working twice as hard as I ever have because now I have
- 18:32the freedom to work on the things I want to work on.
- 18:35And man, it's such, it's a weird world to be in this last, like
- 18:38I'd say 24 months. I finally realized, holy crap, I
- 18:41have people running my companies.
- 18:43I have teams that are doing the thing.
- 18:44I have great advisors. I can just go create.
- 18:48This is crazy. And I have nothing holding me
- 18:52back. Like, Oh my gosh, it's, it's a
- 18:55new world I've never experienced before and I'm getting used to
- 18:57it right now. That's gives me goosebumps to
- 19:00hear all that. And I mean, I was going to ask
- 19:03you that because I think I have a brick on my head of anything
- 19:09great takes a sacrifice, like a great sacrifice to create an
- 19:13incredible business or immense wealth.
- 19:15It's going to take sacrificing my relationship, sacrificing my
- 19:18health, sacrificing my, my sanity and all these things.
- 19:21And I was talking to a billionaire mentor friend of
- 19:24mine and he's like, that's a brick on your head.
- 19:26He's he said, I'm wealthier than I've ever been and I have more
- 19:29freedom, more health, more relationships than I ever have.
- 19:31And So what, what has that like I talk about the price of
- 19:35freedom, right? And what price have you paid for
- 19:39that? And what did that journey look
- 19:41like for you? Was was there a rock bottom in
- 19:43your, your life? I mean cause.
- 19:45Yeah, I've had multiple rock bottoms I had in 2000.
- 19:53Let's see. 2000 I met my wife 15 years ago. 2010 OK, so 2007 My
- 20:03brother hangs himself. My best friend, we shared a room
- 20:06together our whole lives. My brother hung himself.
- 20:08I was the only one that could identify the body because I was
- 20:09the only one that was in his phone.
- 20:11So the police call came to my house at 2:00 in the morning
- 20:13knock on the door or you pace Morby you know I've had those
- 20:16things six months later my wife and I divorced she we as a
- 20:20mayor. I'm a Mormon guy.
- 20:21So think about this. Mormons are people who will
- 20:26grind their entire life just so they can have sex with one
- 20:30woman. OK?
- 20:30That's just how Mormons are. OK, So what will happen is we
- 20:33save ourselves all the way to marriage.
- 20:35So I saved myself for marriage to save myself for a woman I
- 20:37want to go build a family with. And then four years into my
- 20:39marriage, my wife says I don't want to have kids still.
- 20:44She's now in a different marriage 17 years later.
- 20:46She doesn't have kids. She truly wanted a different
- 20:48journey. So I'm a Mormon dude that saved
- 20:50himself her marriage to get married to a woman who
- 20:53ultimately didn't want to have kids.
- 20:54She didn't know. It's not her fault.
- 20:55She we just got married young. So now I'm it's like I
- 20:58squandered this whole life of saving myself for the one that
- 21:02happened right after my brother killed himself.
- 21:05And then my dad went to prison for two years and I had to take,
- 21:09my dad went to prison for it's a, it was a payroll tax thing.
- 21:13And So what ended up happening is I had to take care of my mom
- 21:16and six children that my my parents still had in the house
- 21:18all while the 2008 crash was happening.
- 21:21Oh. My.
- 21:23God still wasn't that wasn't anything compared to knocking
- 21:26doors in Korea. So for me, like it was a it was
- 21:28a walk in the park. I could handle it, but it was it
- 21:30was a rock bottom moment of like, OK, I'm a guy that for the
- 21:34rest of my life people are going to rely on me.
- 21:36Everybody's always turned to me. I'm sure it's the same way with
- 21:39you. Like you're the person that
- 21:40people you don't ask people for money.
- 21:41People ask you for money. You're not asking for advice.
- 21:44Typically in your circle of influence, people are asking you
- 21:46for advice, right? Like we are the people that
- 21:49people turn to. And in that moment, in that rock
- 21:51bottom moment, I said I'm a leader.
- 21:53I was born to be a leader. This is why this is being given
- 21:55to me as I'm I'm going through this stuff.
- 21:58It didn't, it didn't happen to me.
- 22:00It happened for me. And I realized that.
- 22:03And then business. I've had people steal from me
- 22:06millions of dollars. In 2018, my largest client owed
- 22:11me $1.3 million and he filed bankruptcy.
- 22:14I lost everything, had to sell all my rentals.
- 22:16That was six years ago, seven, 6 1/2 years ago.
- 22:19And in 6 1/2 years, I built a portfolio of half a billion
- 22:21dollars using creative finance. Nothing can stop me.
- 22:26Nothing. I I realized in those moments
- 22:32that people fear me. And the reason people fear me is
- 22:35because I am relentless. I am unreasonable.
- 22:38I am scary to be around. In fact, Jamil, who's my best
- 22:42friend is like, I can only hang you with you for like 2 days at
- 22:45a time. Then I need a break because then
- 22:47he's, he's like, I just feel like I'm running a marathon at
- 22:5010 times the normal speed and you will never get off that,
- 22:54that freaking thing. You just go and go and go and
- 22:57he's like normal people will just quit.
- 22:59Like here's a good example. Jamil and I season one of our TV
- 23:03show airs, one of the coolest moments of our life, right?
- 23:06Grant Cardone's there. He's in the show.
- 23:08We've got that. We've got the Outlaws, who are
- 23:11Tupac's band performing for us. Like it was just a moment,
- 23:15right? And that party ends at one O
- 23:17clock in the morning. And Jamil is like, I'm out for a
- 23:20week TV premiere. We did it, dude.
- 23:23We filmed ATV show. The premiere goes live.
- 23:25A&E says it's hitting unbelievable ratings and he goes
- 23:29and takes a week off. I am like, I'm going to do a 27
- 23:33hour live on YouTube and I'm just going to talk.
- 23:35I'm just going to get free games.
- 23:36So I went from 2:00 in the morning until 4:00 in the
- 23:39morning the next day and I just went hard.
- 23:42And he's just like, what are you doing?
- 23:44And I'm like, the more, the harder I work, the more I
- 23:48realize I, I have so much fuel in me and I have barely touched
- 23:51the gas. And so I've hit rock bottom.
- 23:55But every time I've hit rock bottom, I realized there was a
- 23:58big bag of lessons in it that was preparing me for my next
- 24:01part of my journey, my next plateau.
- 24:04And sometimes the rock bottom moments are coming.
- 24:06Their gift from God, their gift from whoever it is that you
- 24:09believe in. And he's just saying, Hey,
- 24:11you're going to need the lessons in this bag of shit that I'm
- 24:14going to feed you. You're going to need these
- 24:16lessons because I'm preparing you for this next thing.
- 24:19And I, I know that it's a recipe, it's an equation.
- 24:21It's happening. So every time that happens to me
- 24:23now, I welcome it. I'm like, OK, hell yeah.
- 24:25What what's, what's the lesson I need to learn?
- 24:27How can I grind through this? And I, I just think life has
- 24:32become this really fun video game that nobody can beat me at
- 24:36Now I have bricks on my head too, but like my big, my biggest
- 24:40brick on my head for like to give you advice as a, as a new
- 24:43friend of yours. The biggest thing was you don't
- 24:49seem like you've come from somebody from poor families, but
- 24:52I think that you came from a family that's not ultra rich.
- 24:54Is that correct? We had no money.
- 24:56OK, so here's the the recipe in the blueprint that you received
- 25:01that hiring people is scary, spending money is scary,
- 25:04investing money is scary, right? Hoard your money.
- 25:07And so like in our minds as blue collar, what was your dad?
- 25:11My dad still works at a pawn shop and my mom raised the kids.
- 25:14OK, cool. So blue collar.
- 25:15OK, so like work, work, work, right?
- 25:17My dad's the same thing. Still to this day.
- 25:20My dad is he sprays cabinets. He's still a contractor.
- 25:24And my dad is at 6768. And I, I've just learned to stay
- 25:28as far away from my father as I possibly can.
- 25:31Love him. But every minute I spend with my
- 25:34dad is a minute is just Oh my gosh.
- 25:36It's a nightmare. But.
- 25:38And I love them. Yeah, I love my mom so much, but
- 25:43the brick I have on my head, or I had on my head that I think
- 25:45you're currently going through is I got to do this on my own.
- 25:50And I don't have enough money to go and invest and build a big
- 25:53team. And I need to hurry, hurry,
- 25:56hurry, make money here, then I'll bring that money in.
- 25:58Then I'll take some of that money and I'll hire somebody.
- 26:01Then everything will be OK. So that's where I was when I
- 26:06hired John Boehm. I was 26 and John Boehm says to
- 26:10me, you know, at the time, $500.00 an hour is a significant
- 26:13investment. And even though I made
- 26:16$1,000,000 that year, like take home $1,000,000 after taxes, I
- 26:20still was afraid to hire somebody to help me run my
- 26:22company. Like that's how crazy it was.
- 26:25Like you're making money. Like you are make.
- 26:27I don't know how much you're making, but you're making enough
- 26:29money to do that hair. You know what I'm saying?
- 26:31I'm. Yeah, I'm clearing over
- 26:331,000,000. OK, And you don't have an OPS
- 26:35team. This is the craziest thing.
- 26:36So this is this is this is how I look at it now, right?
- 26:39So Jon Boehm says to me, he goes, you have a homework
- 26:44assignment. This is the first time I meet
- 26:45with him. I sit, I sit down at Starbucks
- 26:47and he says he goes through dismantles my entire life, could
- 26:52read me like a book, like a good coach.
- 26:55And at the end he goes, all right, this is what we're going
- 26:57to do. You're going to go home.
- 26:58You're going to go hire somebody this month and do not come back
- 27:00here until you've hired somebody.
- 27:02If you and I are still meeting next month, that means that
- 27:05you've hired somebody. If you haven't hired somebody,
- 27:08you better postpone this meeting.
- 27:10So I go back to the meeting. A month later, I walk into
- 27:13Starbucks. He gets up immediately and he
- 27:16says, get the F out of here. You're fired before I could even
- 27:20like before the door closed behind me.
- 27:22He's like, you're fired, get the hell out of here.
- 27:24You're never You and I are never working together ever again.
- 27:27I was like, what? What?
- 27:30And he could tell by the way I was holding my composure, how my
- 27:34shoulders were sagging. He knew that I did not do my
- 27:37homework. He knew that I was still in that
- 27:39fear of mindset. And so he's like, you need a
- 27:41daddy to tell you what to do? Is that really what you need?
- 27:44You need a daddy to tell you what to do, you little bitch.
- 27:48I was like, apparently. So he tells me to get out my
- 27:51phone. So I get out my phone.
- 27:52We put an ad on Craigslist right there.
- 27:54I begged him like, please, like I'll do it right now.
- 27:57Let's do it right now. I'll pay.
- 27:57He's like, let me just tell you something.
- 28:00You're paying me to babysit you. You're in child.
- 28:06I'm going to, you're going to pay me $500 to babysit you to do
- 28:08the homework you should have done on your own.
- 28:11And I needed that. I needed that.
- 28:13I had, I've had a lot of people in my life that needed to like
- 28:15shake me loose from this like old mindset that I had for that
- 28:18was given to me by my parents. Now, again, I gave my parents a
- 28:21lot of credence. I gave my parents a lot of
- 28:23respect. They gave me a lot.
- 28:24But there's a point where I outgrew my parents as as all of
- 28:27us should. OK, so I put an ad in Craigslist
- 28:31and I hired a girl next the next day, like literally it was
- 28:36Saturday. I hired her on Sunday this girl
- 28:39now Fast forward 1617 years later runs her own construction
- 28:43company, etcetera, etcetera, but I didn't find out until 30 days
- 28:46later I hire her. It was the first person that
- 28:50responded to the ad that spoke Spanish.
- 28:51So I need a Spanish speaker to just pick up the phone for me
- 28:53and my construction company. OK, so she starts on Monday,
- 28:57she's there Monday we're working out of my house is before I was
- 29:00ballsy enough to get an office, you know it's.
- 29:02Like, let me work out of my house because that's efficient,
- 29:04you know, And there's some truth to that for to a certain degree.
- 29:09Within a week, my business had tripled.
- 29:11A week. Why?
- 29:13Because there was not a phone call that was missed, an e-mail,
- 29:16e-mail that was missed in construction, which is what I
- 29:18was in. People want an estimate right
- 29:20now. They don't want you to call them
- 29:21back tomorrow. It's a bad look.
- 29:23And so I was sitting there basically getting calls coming
- 29:26in, hey, I got an, I got somebody told you you're a great
- 29:29contractor. I'm getting referrals, which is
- 29:30the greatest lead of all time. And I was picking up the phone
- 29:33the next day. Doesn't seem like a big deal.
- 29:36In fact, I thought it was this great posturing mechanism of
- 29:39like, well, look how busy I am and I could then charge more
- 29:42money because you see how busy I am.
- 29:44It was the opposite. Like customers want the phone to
- 29:47be picked up right away. They want to be treated.
- 29:49They want you. In fact, it was better to have
- 29:51an assistant picking up the phone instead of me right away
- 29:54because they were like, OK, this person's going to be
- 29:56professional. I'll be able to communicate with
- 29:58them about the project, all that kind of stuff.
- 30:00She'll I land a massive contract with a company called open door.
- 30:04Open door was just starting. I was their first contractor and
- 30:08the first phone call that came in was to my freaking phone that
- 30:11Anna hot that Anna picked up. I would have missed the call and
- 30:16I Anna calls me she goes, hey, I just want to let you know
- 30:18there's a company called open door.
- 30:19They want to meet with you. I just picked I just talked to
- 30:21him. I was like OK I don't know who
- 30:22open door is and I opened up three states for them and that
- 30:29one hire changed my life. That one freaking hire changed
- 30:32my life $3000. Then this lady changed my life
- 30:35so much. She had no idea what she was
- 30:36doing in construction. She only spoke Spanish and she
- 30:39had a massive desire. I found out 30 days after I
- 30:44hired her that she was running away from an abusive, physical
- 30:49abusive relationship for her and her children.
- 30:51She was fearful of her children getting killed by her ex, and
- 30:55she was in California when she looked at my Arizona ad and she
- 30:59said yes to the thing. Packed up her kids in her car,
- 31:01drove there that night and slept in a hotel until she got her
- 31:04check for me to go get a hotel. Not a hotel, but an apartment.
- 31:09I bought this girl a house. I took care of this girl.
- 31:12And one thing I've learned about my responsibility is I was not
- 31:16put on this earth to pay freaking bills.
- 31:19I was put on this earth to help other people pay their bills.
- 31:22I'm a workhorse. I will die of a heart attack.
- 31:25That is my duty, That is my job, that is my responsibility.
- 31:29I care more about how many people feed off of my
- 31:32organization every single month than I do care about my net
- 31:35worth. Somebody told me my net worth
- 31:37the other day. I was like OK cool, but how many
- 31:39mouths did we feed today? So think about this. 600
- 31:42employees. The average employee has four
- 31:44people in their family. That's 2400 people that rely on
- 31:46a paycheck from my organization. 2400 people eating three meals a
- 31:50day. That's roughly 7500 meals are
- 31:54fed everyday because my companies exist.
- 31:58That is more important to me than my stupid freaking net
- 32:01worth. And So what you're doing is
- 32:03you're prohibiting yourself from blessing all these families and
- 32:06these people that rely on your grit, your tenacity, etcetera.
- 32:10So for me, I would go to you need an OPS person, right?
- 32:15OK, I could find you the most incredible OPS person on the
- 32:18planet in 14 seconds. OK, e-mail my OPS girl, her name
- 32:22is Molly at pacemoreb.com. e-mail her.
- 32:24Say, hey, Pace's friend, I need somebody who's want can be an
- 32:27operator for me that is trained to do what you do for Pace.
- 32:31Molly has her own little like training course.
- 32:33She trains people how to work as an operator like she does inside
- 32:37of my business. She's got like 400 women that
- 32:40are sitting there waiting for somebody to hire them that are
- 32:43like, I know exactly what to do. I know exactly how to go build
- 32:45somebody else's business from the inside out.
- 32:47It is that fast. And what will happen is, let's
- 32:51say you go hire this person at $5000 a month, $6000 a month,
- 32:557000, whatever it is, OK? You will immediately get a 10X
- 32:59return off of that almost immediately.
- 33:01And if they're not a good fit, you'll know in two hours.
- 33:03Say we're not a good fit. I need somebody else.
- 33:04Boom, Find that next person. But I think you're me and you
- 33:08both, when we have that brick on our head, we're robbing a family
- 33:11of the gifts that we were brought on this earth to give
- 33:13them. People weren't born the way you
- 33:15were. They weren't born the way I was
- 33:17born. I was born different.
- 33:18I know that you were born different.
- 33:20You know that. I meet a lot of people, they
- 33:23weren't given the gifts that I was given and the gifts that you
- 33:25were given. The gift of communication, the
- 33:27gift of understanding, the gift of storytelling, the gift of
- 33:30charisma, the gift, the gift of going out and, and having
- 33:32you're, you're tenacious, you are relentless, You are
- 33:37unreasonable. Not many people are built that
- 33:39way. Less than 1% of people on the
- 33:41planet, less than 1% of 1% are built that way.
- 33:44There are people praying right now, literally like Anna was
- 33:47praying for me. There's people praying like I
- 33:48need an opportunity. I need a place that I can call
- 33:51home, and you having that brick over your head is robbing that
- 33:54person from getting their prayers answered.
- 33:56Oh. My God.
- 34:00So anyway, thank. You vase.
- 34:03Yeah, you need it. You need, you need, you need
- 34:05somebody to run and handle your business.
- 34:08I mean, the reality is I'm at Tony Robbins House 3 summers ago
- 34:12and I asked Tony a question. I said, hey, at what point did
- 34:17you start saying it's not OK to have more ideas and more, you
- 34:22know, visions and I'm a visionary.
- 34:24I see things not just in color. I see things in four DI, see
- 34:28things 70 years in the future. I see every little way that
- 34:32things are implicated. I see relationships and how the
- 34:34dominoes and I'm sure you see the same thing.
- 34:37Our brains are symphonies, OK? Most people's brain can handle
- 34:41one instrument, the flute or the cello or whatever.
- 34:43You and I full on Symphony, OK, Full on Symphony in our brains.
- 34:48So Tony says, did God put you on this planet to say no, or did he
- 34:53put you on this planet to figure out how to say yes?
- 34:55I was like, obviously the last one.
- 34:58Yeah. And he's like, well, then you
- 34:59need to figure out how to hire more people to handle your
- 35:02dreams and your visions, as long as those dreams and visions are
- 35:04not, you know, dragging down the current organization.
- 35:07So for example, if I'm buying real estate, it would be a very
- 35:11easy vertical to add. I'm going to lend money to other
- 35:14people that are doing real estate.
- 35:15So I'm gonna have a lending business.
- 35:16OK, cool. Well, I have a dream to go do
- 35:19that. Cool.
- 35:19Then go get the people to do it. You don't need to be doing
- 35:22literally any of that work, which is crazy like that.
- 35:26I'm saying this now and I'm I'm proof of it because I was in a
- 35:29moment where I was like, but what does that look like and how
- 35:31does that feel? And Oh my gosh, payroll.
- 35:33And what if they don't work out? They won't.
- 35:36You will hire five people to get a superstar.
- 35:39You will have to fire four people to get to that one
- 35:41person. In fact, when you're really bad
- 35:43at in the very beginning, you might have to hire 12 bad people
- 35:46to get the one person that just figures it out.
- 35:49And that's scary. So people don't do it just like
- 35:52anything else. It's like everything worthwhile
- 35:54in your life required you to do some shit you did not want to
- 35:57do, like be on camera. Run a podcast, right?
- 36:01But then you run a podcast. You get to meet incredible
- 36:03people that have done cool things like you know how to do
- 36:06hard things. So figure out how to do that
- 36:08hard thing. Go hire somebody.
- 36:10And what's crazy is they will figure out things for you.
- 36:12You won't have to sit there and babysit.
- 36:13That was a lie I told myself. Like, I don't have time to
- 36:16babysit and I don't have time to do that.
- 36:17Are you kidding me? Like this guy runs the whole
- 36:19gosh damn company, right? This whole podcast studio, he
- 36:23runs the whole entire thing. Where are the owners?
- 36:26Joe Polish, Shout out to Joe Polish.
- 36:27Where? Where are they?
- 36:29They ain't here. He runs it better than they ever
- 36:32could, right? So who who is that person?
- 36:34They're sitting there waiting. They have a nine to five job.
- 36:36There's somewhere out there right now in the world, maybe
- 36:39Arizona, maybe not. And they're sitting there going,
- 36:41why has Hannah not hired me? And they'll take your company,
- 36:46whatever it is that you're doing, product, service, sells,
- 36:48whatever they'll free up. Let's say if I could free up 10
- 36:51hours of your week every week to go create something new, how
- 36:55much more money could you make A.
- 36:57Lot. A lot.
- 36:58OK, so here's the next brick that was on my head.
- 37:00OK, I was so reluctant to hire somebody, and after about a year
- 37:06of therapy, I realized what my problem was.
- 37:10OK, it's a very basic, very simple.
- 37:12My problem was that I was fearful of the amount of work I
- 37:16was going to have to do during the time I was saving.
- 37:20OK, so here's a good example. January of last year, I hired
- 37:23somebody to do something weird and they're on my, they're full
- 37:28time on my team. I looked at my calendar, Molly,
- 37:31my operator, her and I, every year at the end of December,
- 37:34December, we look at my calendar backwards and we look at 100
- 37:37things that I've done, literally 100 things she has to go through
- 37:39and she has to count up 100 things.
- 37:41She now has Ava do that, but she counts up 100 things waiting in
- 37:44the airport, doing the such and such, talking to this person in
- 37:48this meeting, blah blah blah. And she literally lists at 100
- 37:50things that I do. And then before our meeting,
- 37:53this is once a year, at the end of the year, she says my job is
- 37:57to take eighty of those 100 things off your plate or find a
- 38:00better way for those things to get done so you never have to do
- 38:02them again. Imagine if somebody.
- 38:04Did that just one time a year for you?
- 38:06Imagine. OK, well here's the problem.
- 38:10If you now save. 4. Hours a week or 4 hours a day of
- 38:13mine. The biggest fear I had is.
- 38:15What the F am I going to do during those four hours?
- 38:17You just saved me. It was much easier just to do
- 38:20the things I was used to doing and just keep grinding and
- 38:23grinding and grinding and grinding and like lying to
- 38:25myself, that was doing something.
- 38:27But the reality is somebody could have done those four hours
- 38:29worth of work way better than me.
- 38:30So it was really hard. One of the things I hired for
- 38:34this year, Molly's like, why are why did you go to Home Depot?
- 38:38I was like. Well, because my wife thinks
- 38:39it's hot that I hang the pictures and my wife thinks it's
- 38:41great that it's this, that and the other and bubble blunt.
- 38:43She's like, no, your wife thinks it's hot that you have built a
- 38:47business that gives you freedom. OK, your wife knows you're a
- 38:51contractor. She doesn't need to see you hang
- 38:53a picture every gosh damn day or switch the light bulbs out.
- 38:56We need to hire a full time handyman that just travels
- 38:59around with you, drives you around, takes care of all the
- 39:01things, fills the refrigerators with drinks.
- 39:03Make sure everything's taken care of in the house.
- 39:05Air filters are done. Literally a full time handyman.
- 39:08I was like, OK, but I was hesitant to do it because I was
- 39:12like, well, what am I going to do with that extra 20 hours?
- 39:13A. Week and Molly says I don't
- 39:15care, sit on your gosh damn couch and do nothing, but you
- 39:19shouldn't be doing any of this other stupid shit.
- 39:21You shouldn't be driving yourself places.
- 39:23You shouldn't be doing this. You shouldn't be doing this and
- 39:25sometimes you need that internal person to like really respect
- 39:27your time. And so I hired a guy named
- 39:30Nathan last year for five grand a month.
- 39:32That guy saves me 20 hours a week for five grand a month, 20
- 39:37hours a week. That's 80 hours now the the
- 39:41brick I had was now I've got 80 hours a month.
- 39:44What do I do with that and being really intentional about should
- 39:48I spend 20 hours here, 20 hours here, 20 hours here, 20 hours
- 39:51here, etcetera. That was a new world for me,
- 39:55right? New level new devil.
- 39:57The new devil is should I just do 80?
- 39:59Hours more of work. Or am I OK to go out to my house
- 40:02in Montana for a week and not even think about work?
- 40:05Am I OK to put my phone down half the day?
- 40:07What like that's the phase of life I'm currently in right now
- 40:10is figuring out how to get to, how do I get through that next
- 40:13level and live my life like somebody who's worthy of a
- 40:15billion dollars? Because the person who's worthy
- 40:18of a billion dollars is not thinking, how do I work every
- 40:20minute of every day? That's not how they're thinking.
- 40:23So, you know, I think the biggest reason why people are
- 40:26afraid of delegating is because they're like, well, what am I
- 40:28going to? What am I going to do?
- 40:30So I would write down. This is what I wrote down.
- 40:33OK, Molly and I do this too. OK, I we will open up this
- 40:36notebook. I wish I brought this notebook.
- 40:38This is this is such a fun notebook for me to show people.
- 40:41I write down all the places that I uniquely me, only me spend my
- 40:46time and money is made. Nobody else but me can do that
- 40:50thing. OK, so what's what's a thing for
- 40:52you in your life That's like only Hannah could do that thing.
- 40:55Probably podcasting. OK, cool.
- 40:57What else? The high level relationships I
- 41:00manage. OK, what else?
- 41:02The visions I create in my head. OK, what else?
- 41:07Leading my Well, that's my brick.
- 41:09I feel like I have to lead my team, but I want to find someone
- 41:12who can lead my team. You need somebody to find you.
- 41:14Yeah, You need somebody can do that better than you.
- 41:15Yeah. Way better than you.
- 41:17Yeah, but mostly just the, the content that you're like me, the
- 41:20the things that are so unique to me is my, my communication, my
- 41:23relationships with the people in my world producing content.
- 41:27What if you could do that 20 hours extra per week?
- 41:29What would that bring it? Would it bring me more money?
- 41:31Yeah, I wish that's all I could do.
- 41:33OK, so what's keeping you hiring an OPS person and going through
- 41:3910 bad hires to get one good person?
- 41:41That's what's stopping you, right?
- 41:43And so that is the brick I had to go through last year of just
- 41:46going through my calendar and being relentless about my
- 41:49calendar and knowing more importantly, where do only I
- 41:54operate in my zone of genius? And I have 26 things that are
- 41:57like, nobody else should touch these 26 things but me and
- 42:02conveying ideas to the team in the way that I articulate them
- 42:06and the reasoning behind how this is connected to such and
- 42:08such and why this is impactful for this thing.
- 42:11Nobody can do that better than me.
- 42:13So I go into the office once a week, once a week for two hours
- 42:16and I just do we, we call it Paces Vision dump, where I
- 42:19literally just dump my vision on the whole entire team.
- 42:22And then my operators take that and go pace of this, this, this,
- 42:24this and this, and then they make it happen.
- 42:26That's insane. It's insane that's.
- 42:28Amazing. I know and and.
- 42:30I want that. For visionary to visionary, I'm
- 42:33grateful for hanging out with other visionaries.
- 42:36You know, I feel like I rarely have a bad idea.
- 42:42I have bad ideas. They just don't come out of my
- 42:44mouth, right. But by the time they come out of
- 42:46my mouth, I know they're going to make money and I know they'll
- 42:48impact these other verticals that we're already making money
- 42:50on. Like for example, I'll give you
- 42:52a good idea, I'll give you some like things that I do.
- 42:55OK, so I've ran my community, 30,000 people in my community
- 43:01and we did $20 billion in transactions last year.
- 43:05It's insanity. That's insane.
- 43:07In the slowest year in retail real estate in 35 years, my
- 43:11community did more than most brokerages did.
- 43:13And most people are not even licensed real estate agents.
- 43:16Like we're I'm doing on off market real estate, all creative
- 43:19finance, $20 billion in sub to seller finance, lease option
- 43:24stuff. It's insanity, right?
- 43:26So we've done that in five years.
- 43:28So I launched that June of 2020 during COVID, I launched my
- 43:31community and I wanted to do this like 5 year anniversary
- 43:35where my wife and my kids get in my Airstream, my little like
- 43:39silver Airstream and travel the whole country.
- 43:42We do 50 states in 50 days. OK, who on my team can do that?
- 43:47Nobody besides me I'm that means I'm gone away from the office
- 43:51for 50 days. But what does that do?
- 43:53How does that make my company money?
- 43:55Well, what I was going to do is I was going to go 50 states, 50
- 43:58days and I was going to look for the most creative deal that was
- 44:00done in that state in the last five years since the inception
- 44:03of the community. So I was like, I was going to
- 44:06hold a massive meet up every single night in every single
- 44:09city and just grind and essentially create the content
- 44:12around 50 different meetups where a month before I show up
- 44:17to every location, everybody in that location, 1000 plus people
- 44:21all submit their most creative deal.
- 44:23Then that location votes on the top three.
- 44:26So by the time I get there with my family, I'm being presented
- 44:29of the top three deals in that state.
- 44:31And then I vote and I go, that's the one.
- 44:33And that becomes the king of creative finance in that state
- 44:36for the last five years. What does that do for me?
- 44:39Well, it gives me the ability to get in front of my people, talk
- 44:43about my lending company, talk about my title company, talk
- 44:46about the things that I'm the other services that I have
- 44:48available for them to make their lives easier.
- 44:51Maybe I can do a book signing, I can do whatever, but getting out
- 44:54the best algorithm on planet earth F TikTok, F Instagram, F
- 44:58YouTube, F every single social media platform and their stupid
- 45:01algorithm. The best algorithm on planet
- 45:04Earth is the word of mouth. And so where does word of mouth
- 45:08come is when I'm face to face with people, when people meet me
- 45:11in person, they're like, hot damn, like you really show up.
- 45:14I will literally talk to 700 people, shake their hand,
- 45:18memorize their name. Next time I see them, I'll
- 45:20remember their name, their kids name, their last deal.
- 45:23They did, right? That's a superpower that I have.
- 45:25Nobody can do that but me. And so when you want to build a
- 45:28community, just cuz you have a paid environment doesn't mean
- 45:31that's a community. A community is where you know
- 45:32these people, you make money with them.
- 45:34They have insane results and you, you actually meet them,
- 45:38they've met you. That's a community of people.
- 45:40And so for me, I'm like 50 states, 50 days.
- 45:44That's where I should be. OK.
- 45:46Can I be away from my business for 50 days?
- 45:49The reality is I'm at a point where the answer is yes.
- 45:52It's actually better that I'm not there for 50 days because
- 45:56I've gotten to a point where my operators are better at.
- 45:59Running the business than I am and when I come into the
- 46:02business I mess stuff up. That's the weird, that was a
- 46:05weird transition. You've got to fight through
- 46:08that. You have to get through that.
- 46:09And so does everybody else get This is why 92% of business
- 46:12owners, 92% will never hit $1,000,000 a year or more in
- 46:16revenue is because they can't get past that brick of I got to
- 46:20hire an OPS team and I got to get, I got to get that person
- 46:23that's better at running things, better at things than I am.
- 46:26You should only be on the front end.
- 46:29You should be Elon Musk right on every podcast imaginable.
- 46:32You should be running doge. You should be doing all the
- 46:35things, all the content on X all day long.
- 46:37You should be writing books. You should be creating new ways
- 46:39and new pathways of communicating to your audience
- 46:42of how you can help them get the results they're looking for.
- 46:45If you're sitting there coordinating everything and
- 46:48communicating and doing all the things and whatever else, like I
- 46:52wake up, I look at my calendar, I go, oh, cool, I'm doing a
- 46:53podcast today with today with Hannah.
- 46:55I didn't set any of this up, right.
- 46:58You even need somebody doing that for you.
- 46:59I mean, they do a good job, but you need somebody booking a
- 47:02solid guest, taking, Oh my gosh, you need a lot of stuff.
- 47:06I do. I do.
- 47:07Yeah. And I see.
- 47:08And what you just said, like being the Elon Musk is exactly
- 47:12my vision. And that's my zone of genius.
- 47:14And that's where I'm happy, you know, that's where I thrive.
- 47:16And so it's I've to this date, I've hired always from the
- 47:20bottom, you know, like, OK, I need an assistant.
- 47:22I need somebody to answer the phone.
- 47:23I need someone you know, but now I need to.
- 47:25I feel like I need to hire from the top.
- 47:27I need to. Hire, you need somebody that's
- 47:2812 grand a month. You need somebody that you're,
- 47:31you're scared to hire and spend that kind of money like when I
- 47:34hired. So Molly on my team, I think
- 47:37she's Molly. I pay her a couple $100,000 a
- 47:42year, but then she also has equity in our companies and then
- 47:45she gets profit share on my real estate, right?
- 47:48So like for me, I look at Molly, I'm like, if you're not worth
- 47:51$5,000,000 in 10 years, I failed you, right?
- 47:54Like that quality of pay needs to go into that person.
- 47:58So when you talk about sacrifice at the beginning of the podcast,
- 48:00when you're like, well, what sacrifice did it take?
- 48:03Well, let's think about this, OK, I, I've had good years.
- 48:07I'm not taught me Melo. I don't, I, I haven't sold the
- 48:09business for $250 million and I'm not Robert Kiyosaki, I'm not
- 48:12a billionaire, but I've made, I've taken home 15,000,000 in a
- 48:16year and paid no taxes on it. So like for me, that's like
- 48:20somebody else on the Phoenix Suns earning a check for $32
- 48:22million and walking home with 15,000,000 after taxes, I made
- 48:26and took home $15 million. That did not impact my life
- 48:32whatsoever versus making, let's say $2,000,000 in a year.
- 48:36OK, at $2,000,000 a year, I'm living an optimal life.
- 48:39I, I have a home in Montana. I fly whatever I want, whenever
- 48:43I want. We eat what we want, we drive
- 48:45what we want. We wear whatever clothes we
- 48:48want, wear whatever watch we want, whatever the heck we want
- 48:52at $2,000,000. Nothing else above that is ever
- 48:55going to change your life. And the where I got that idea
- 48:58from was Dave Chappelle when he walked away from the Chappelle
- 49:00Show. But you're too young for this
- 49:02probably to remember. This I remember the show but.
- 49:03OK. So it was a prolific time,
- 49:06right? And he walks away from the 50
- 49:09million bucks and he made a comment.
- 49:10He says, well, the reality is like $50 million versus like
- 49:12what I'm currently worth did not change my life at all.
- 49:16And I made a comment to one of my really good friends, Jerry
- 49:19Norton the other day. We're up in our, he lives a mile
- 49:22away from me in Montana. And he says to me, he says,
- 49:25pace, I'm just honestly, if I could just tell you the truth,
- 49:27I'm really jealous of what you're accomplishing and all
- 49:29these people you going to meet. And I'm like, Jerry, you're a
- 49:33millionaire in the bank and you're a billionaire in the
- 49:36home. You've got 10 kids, all healthy,
- 49:38all alive. Your wife is obsessed with you.
- 49:41You are a billionaire in the home.
- 49:42Like take inventory of all the things you have in your life.
- 49:47Making an extra $5,000,000 a year is not going to change your
- 49:50life. So the reason why I say all of
- 49:51this is because what some people would look at it as sacrifice, I
- 49:56look at as something that's so nominal, which is I'm giving
- 50:02ownership of these companies to the people that operate them and
- 50:05I'm turning them into partners instead of employees.
- 50:09I never use the word employee. They're team members.
- 50:11Molly is my partner and she runs the business and she'll even
- 50:15text me and go, please don't ever do that again.
- 50:17Please don't ever do that. You should never don't touch
- 50:19that. Please stay out of that.
- 50:20Da, da, da, da, da. That's what you need.
- 50:22High level visionary needs somebody that is you're no
- 50:25person and that person deserves a percentage of future ownership
- 50:29of that company, whatever that looks like, right?
- 50:31And it's not just 12 grand a month, it's 12 grand a month
- 50:35plus 10% of the company. And if they stay with the
- 50:37company 10 years, then it might be 20% of the company because
- 50:42you will have the ability now to go create a new company, a new,
- 50:44a new thing. You are what I call a golden
- 50:46retriever. OK, I'm a golden retriever too.
- 50:49What's our job? Our job is to retrieve the gold.
- 50:53It's to get out of The Cave. It's to go like, you know, I see
- 50:57all these, I see all these housewives that like criticize
- 51:01their men. Oh, my husband works so hard.
- 51:04You know, you've, you've probably even have some that are
- 51:07your friends that you're just like, shut up, lady.
- 51:09I can't. I can't either.
- 51:10And what it is is they, these women want to drive Escalades
- 51:13and drive the things and have the fancy things, but they also
- 51:16I'm like, your husband cannot kill the deer.
- 51:19If he's in The Cave. Tell your husband to leave The
- 51:23Cave to go kill the deer. Like he can't go get the gold if
- 51:27he's stuck in The Cave with you all day long.
- 51:28If he works till 5:00 and then you have him locked in a cage
- 51:32when he gets home at 5:00, then expect to drive a minivan, a
- 51:36used minivan for the rest of your life because you need that
- 51:38guy going out there grinding all day long.
- 51:40He needs to retrieve the gold. You can't retrieve the gold if
- 51:43you're sitting there organizing everything, managing the gold.
- 51:47Your job is to go retrieve the gold.
- 51:49There's a new business out there for you.
- 51:51There's a new idea out there for you that you haven't had that
- 51:54conversation yet, right? So for me, like I wanted to for
- 51:59the longest time, start a title company that did create a
- 52:02finance all over the country. Like I wanted to standardize sub
- 52:05to seller finance, lease option. I wanted to standardize the
- 52:07bullshit that everybody deals with in the real estate
- 52:09industry. And it wasn't just the idea, it
- 52:14was I had to go to a mastermind and spend time with somebody
- 52:17else who was in that mastermind. It's $100,000 a year mastermind.
- 52:21That was high enough level attorney that was like, I can do
- 52:23that with you. I heard that was your dream.
- 52:26How could I have ever made that happen without that guy?
- 52:29And he now runs, he runs the company, not me.
- 52:32What do I do? I promote the company because
- 52:36that's my job. That's your job.
- 52:38Your job is to get eyeballs on the product and the service and
- 52:41get people excited about the mission that you're creating.
- 52:43How can you do that when you're managing the products can't?
- 52:46Can't. So you're working very hard to
- 52:48not do your job right. And that was a hard thing for my
- 52:52team too. My team, we have to have
- 52:56meetings every six months or so of like.
- 52:57What is Pace's job? Just like Grant Cardone.
- 53:01What's his job? That oh, he's the golden
- 53:04retriever and he's the promoter, right?
- 53:08That man does not manage one thing.
- 53:10I've been to his office a dozen times.
- 53:13Jerry Glant shout out to Jared Glant and Sherry is his Molly.
- 53:17That woman runs everything, everything.
- 53:22She runs the culture, she runs the employees, she runs the
- 53:24products, the services, she runs support.
- 53:27She runs everything better than he ever could.
- 53:31And he sits there and he's like, what do I do?
- 53:32And and they go get out there and promote the company.
- 53:35You get, leave the office and I was like, oh, so he's like
- 53:39Ronald McDonald. Like his job is to make sure
- 53:43people know that McDonald, that McDonald's has the Big Mac or
- 53:45the Mcrib or whatever coming back.
- 53:47Like his job is to get on the Billboard and say, come buy my
- 53:49hamburgers. His job is to not make the, the
- 53:52hamburgers at all. And when you hang out with
- 53:55people, you are hanging out with high level people.
- 53:58So you see it. They're not managing anything.
- 54:01They're promoting everything. So I, I, I am jealous of you.
- 54:05I'm jealous that you get to go through this really fun journey
- 54:07over the next 12 months of like really breaking through what I
- 54:10believe is the most important brick to get off your at your
- 54:12head. It is the most important brick.
- 54:14Everything else is nominal. You'll never feel, you'll never
- 54:19feel more accomplished than this next brick that you're taking
- 54:22off your head. You'll take a hundred other
- 54:24bricks off your head over the next 10 years, and nothing will
- 54:27be more impactful than this brick that you're currently
- 54:29dealing with. Thank you.
- 54:31Yeah, I really needed to hear all that today.
- 54:34Yeah. Oh my gosh.
- 54:36What keeps you going? Like what?
- 54:38You know, I have this relentless drive in me too.
- 54:40And people are like, why, right? Why?
- 54:42If you have it all, you could just stop.
- 54:43Whatever. I'm like, it has nothing to do
- 54:45with the money. It's what keeps you going.
- 54:49I was born with it all. I was born with like, take
- 54:52everything from me, take all my money, take everything, take all
- 54:55my assets. What I really have at the end of
- 54:57the day is the ability to create.
- 55:01OK, that's crazy when you start thinking my job is to create, I
- 55:05create things. You are a creator, that's your
- 55:07job, the asset I bought, the company I built, the thing I
- 55:11bought, the blah blah, blah, blah blah.
- 55:12Like Nope, that is not where I get my joy.
- 55:15My joy is comes from creating things and solving solution or
- 55:18creating solutions to problems other people couldn't solve.
- 55:22Good example, June 10th, 2023 I get a call from a good friend of
- 55:27mine, Dan Fleischman. Dan Fleischman goes, hey, I have
- 55:30a guy that needs a loan. He's going to kill himself.
- 55:34He's been going through something really, really bad.
- 55:36He called me and said he's going to buy a gun today and blow his
- 55:38brains out. Is there any way you can call
- 55:40him and see if you can give him a loan?
- 55:41I go sure for you anything. And why?
- 55:45Why did Dan call me? Well, one, I'm in his
- 55:47mastermind, right? He knows who I am.
- 55:49So get yourself in the right gosh Dang room.
- 55:51I was the person that refused to pay for anything.
- 55:54And now I'm like quarter million in one mastermind, 100,000 in
- 55:57another mastermind, 55,000 another one and 40,000 in
- 56:00another one. Like the getting in these rooms
- 56:03of high level people is obviously, you know that cheat
- 56:05code. So I get on the phone with this
- 56:08guy. His name's Matthew Lang and he
- 56:10owns a company called the Plant Guy Insane company on HGTV.
- 56:15He's on like Formula One uses him, Top Golf uses him,
- 56:20everybody uses him. He does artificial plants that
- 56:22look so effing real it's uncanny.
- 56:25It's insanity. He has multiple patented
- 56:28products, but he's a visionary. He's like you and he's like me.
- 56:32He creates magical shit and he inspires people in social media.
- 56:36You go look up the plant guy right now in his social media.
- 56:38You're like, how did this guy two years ago this summer was so
- 56:43close to just blowing his brains out?
- 56:45How did this guy from the outside looks like everything's
- 56:47figured out, right? How did this guy get to that
- 56:50point? Well, he's not meant to manage
- 56:52money. He's not meant to manage
- 56:53employees. You're not meant to manage money
- 56:55or employees. You know that you're inside of
- 56:57you. You're like, Get Me Out of all
- 56:59that shit. So I called Matt and I said,
- 57:03Matt, what do you need? He tells me the story.
- 57:05He hasn't paid sales tax in five years.
- 57:07He's behind on payroll taxes, which means he hasn't even paid
- 57:10his employees taxes to the IRS. Like that's federal.
- 57:13That's like, you're going to prison for that shit, right?
- 57:16He's like, I don't know when to take a paycheck.
- 57:17I, I don't know money. I'm, I'm taking deposits from
- 57:20people on projects today to pay for shit I took projects on a
- 57:25year and a half ago. Like I'm in a bad situation and
- 57:29I don't know how I'm going to cut recover.
- 57:31Five years prior to this, a payday loan company calls him
- 57:35and says hey, we'll give you a $50,000 loan.
- 57:38Well this $50,000 loan cost him like I think it's like 200 grand
- 57:43a month in interest. It's like insanity, $4000 a day
- 57:46is what he's paying an interest on this $50,000 loan.
- 57:50So I come in. And I create a really creative
- 57:52solution. I said, oh, this is amazing.
- 57:54I have a CFOI have a COOI have this.
- 57:56Why don't we use my C-Suite to come in and run the back end of
- 58:00your company? Give me 50% of your company.
- 58:02I'll renegotiate your IRS debt. I'll renegotiate this.
- 58:05I'll fix this. I'll solve that.
- 58:07We'll get sales up with blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 58:09In 20, not even 20 months. In nine months, it's now coming
- 58:13on 24 months. But in nine months, the company
- 58:15had been completely turned around, went from losing
- 58:17$120,000 a month to paying off all its debts.
- 58:21And this guy sends me text messages every single week like
- 58:25you changed my life. I am in my zone of creation.
- 58:29I am creating all day long. I feel liberated, I feel
- 58:32whatever. So really what keeps me going is
- 58:35living my purpose, which is being a creator.
- 58:37All right, God made us in his image, which means is God a
- 58:40creator? Yes, we were meant to create.
- 58:43So you were put on this earth to create solutions for people,
- 58:45create opportunities for people, create new products, new
- 58:48services, new ways of doing things.
- 58:49So the way I keep going is I do what I, I wake up in the morning
- 58:52and I'm compelled to do the one thing which is create and where
- 58:57people get stuck. Like, you know, look at Jamil,
- 59:00right? Addicted to opiates or addicted
- 59:02to whatever. Jamil was not in his zone of
- 59:04creation. He's a creator, he's a
- 59:05visionary, right? He's meant to be in that zone.
- 59:09So same thing with you. Like when you feel your happiest
- 59:11is when you have an idea, you articulate that to somebody and
- 59:15that somebody says, holy shit, Hannah, that would change my
- 59:18life. And you're like, Oh my gosh, I
- 59:20have something inside of me, right?
- 59:22So when you get to exercise that muscle, that creation muscle,
- 59:24that's the thing. I'm sure that keeps you going.
- 59:27And then also as you create things as a divine creator,
- 59:30somebody who is like, I create good things that change people's
- 59:32lives. You, Hannah, I imagine, get what
- 59:36I call a helper's high. You get high when you help
- 59:39somebody change their life. It's like heroin.
- 59:41I don't know what heroin feels like, but I imagine it feels
- 59:43just like that when somebody says, Hannah, you changed my
- 59:46life. You did the thing and you're
- 59:49like, I just did what God told me to do, which is create.
- 59:52And I'm not AII brought up God today in this podcast more and
- 59:55I've brought him up in 10 years of my entire life combined.
- 1:00:00Maybe it's something I drank this morning, I don't know, but
- 1:00:03it is. It is, you know, as you as a
- 1:00:05creator, as your responsibility to get everything off your
- 1:00:08plate, to go create things. That is your responsibility is
- 1:00:10not, hey, this is cool. It is a it is a responsibility
- 1:00:15for you to do exactly what you were put on this earth to do.
- 1:00:17And every minute that you're not doing it is you're wasting your
- 1:00:20gift. And what's scary to me here, I
- 1:00:23operate out of fear. People like, oh, I'm, I'm
- 1:00:25motivated. I'm like, bitch, I am scared.
- 1:00:28I, I operate at a pure fear all the time.
- 1:00:31OK. And here's what I mean by that.
- 1:00:32And I'm sure you do too to a certain degree.
- 1:00:34I'm fearful of being anything like my parents, going to bed at
- 1:00:38night, angry at each other, wondering, hey, don't touch the
- 1:00:41thermostat 'cause that's going to cost $70.
- 1:00:44F that life. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:00:46Yeah. That was my life.
- 1:00:47I want to have nothing to do with that shit.
- 1:00:49I can't go to my parents' house because my parents are like,
- 1:00:53it's summertime and their thermostat's at 80°.
- 1:00:56What? I'm 40 years old, bitch.
- 1:00:58I want to have. I want to live in 65°
- 1:01:01temperature. Like I'm freezing myself out.
- 1:01:03And if it cost me an extra $300.00 in my electric bill, so
- 1:01:06be it, right? So it's like those things scare
- 1:01:09me to death of watching somebody spend their entire life.
- 1:01:12So the, I had this vision a while back and it was this
- 1:01:15vision of I'm in a hospital bed. So imagine you in this hospital
- 1:01:21bed. OK, you're laying in your
- 1:01:22hospital bed. You're on your last breath,
- 1:01:24you're dying. The, the monitor, you can hear
- 1:01:26it beep, beep, beep. It's going slower, right?
- 1:01:30You're about to die. Your heart's giving out.
- 1:01:33And everybody that you've changed their life is in that
- 1:01:36hospital. How many people are going to be
- 1:01:40in the hospital? How big of a hospital hospital
- 1:01:43do you need? I need a freaking stadium.
- 1:01:46I know that. And I can be cocky about that.
- 1:01:48I know I did what I was meant to do.
- 1:01:50I know I did. I can confidently say that you
- 1:01:55would have to knock down 50 freaking acres of the people's
- 1:01:58lives that I've changed to get them to fit in one room if I'm
- 1:02:02dying. So that's the first part of my
- 1:02:03vision is like, who's in my who's in my hospital room
- 1:02:07grabbing my hand right before I die?
- 1:02:09Who are all those people and how many people are there?
- 1:02:12They just want one second with like, you changed my life.
- 1:02:15I've had people, Hannah. I'm sure you have people like
- 1:02:17this too. People have come to me and said,
- 1:02:18you've made me so much money that my wife and I decided to
- 1:02:21have two more children and bring two more souls onto this planet.
- 1:02:24That's cool shit. Oh, cool, you sold the company
- 1:02:28for a billion dollars, dude. I'm making people have babies.
- 1:02:31You know what I'm saying? Like I'm doing some cool shit.
- 1:02:33So that's Part 1 of my vision. But the second part of my vision
- 1:02:35is as I'm about to die, this ominous like faceless figure
- 1:02:39comes in and has a hoodie or like a cloak.
- 1:02:42And he walks in not demonic at all but like somewhat somewhat
- 1:02:46angelic. And he comes and he says pace I
- 1:02:51have this little vial of blue liquid.
- 1:02:54And if you drink this vial of blue liquid, I will give you one
- 1:03:00day of your life back. How much is this blue liquid
- 1:03:04worth to you? How much What is it worth to
- 1:03:09you? What is the answer?
- 1:03:10Everything. Everything.
- 1:03:12Everything is the answer. Everything is the answer to get
- 1:03:16one day of your life back, Hannah is worth everything.
- 1:03:21Everything you've accumulated your entire life just to get one
- 1:03:24extra day back is worth everything for one day.
- 1:03:30That is the right answer. Now as you obviously take the
- 1:03:34choice. You say take all my money, take
- 1:03:36all my stuff, take everything away from me.
- 1:03:39I'm obviously dying. I just want one day back and you
- 1:03:42take this vial of liquid, you start drinking it.
- 1:03:44This Angel or whoever it is says oh, oh, oh, I'm so sorry.
- 1:03:48I should have told you this before you drank it.
- 1:03:51The day of your life you're getting back is going to be a
- 1:03:54random day of your life. Revisit it.
- 1:03:57You're not going to get another day.
- 1:03:59You're going to have to go back to a random day.
- 1:04:01Wake up at the same time, live in that body, but watch yourself
- 1:04:05make the decisions you made that day.
- 1:04:06Like a movie. You will not be able to make a
- 1:04:08decision, change anything, alter anything.
- 1:04:11But you'll be able to smell, taste, hear, speak everything
- 1:04:14that you did that day. Are you?
- 1:04:17Would you be happy if that day was a random day five years ago?
- 1:04:22Would you be happy if it's a random day 10 years ago?
- 1:04:25Would you be happy if it was today?
- 1:04:28And so that's the way I live my life.
- 1:04:30If I have to exchange my day, if I have to exchange today, right?
- 1:04:35I date it. I date my daughters every day.
- 1:04:38I love on my son every day. I do man shit with my son every
- 1:04:41day. I make sure my wife knows how
- 1:04:43much I love her every day. And it's 678 hours that if for
- 1:04:46some weird reason I have to go in Groundhog Day that day over
- 1:04:50and over and over, like I'm Bill Bill Murray and I watched that
- 1:04:54thing go over and over and over. I would be grateful to have that
- 1:04:57day every single day. And other people, they don't,
- 1:05:01OK. What they do is they do the same
- 1:05:02shit over and over like that. Like they don't understand their
- 1:05:04mortality. They don't understand, dude,
- 1:05:06you're going to freaking die, OK?
- 1:05:09Just three weeks ago, one of my good friends from high school
- 1:05:12driving down Val Vista and Southern, just right there in
- 1:05:14Mesa. I'm a Mesa boy, Valvestin
- 1:05:17Southern. He's driving his his two
- 1:05:19daughters to school. OK.
- 1:05:22And a guy who's driving he just stole a car from a a
- 1:05:27construction site is peeling out going the opposite direction.
- 1:05:31It's not even in in an intersection.
- 1:05:32And this guy is trying to like evade police or whatever and
- 1:05:36drives head on to my friend's Suburban kills him and his
- 1:05:40daughter. This is literally a couple of
- 1:05:44weeks ago. I have a friend of mine, his
- 1:05:48name is Phillip. Shout out to Phillip just blew
- 1:05:50his brains out couple weeks ago. OK, people are going through
- 1:05:54shit. People.
- 1:05:54If life is hard, life is challenging.
- 1:05:56Life is all the things, right? And so I know you, you're in an
- 1:06:00age now where you've had people die.
- 1:06:01You've probably had some people kill themselves.
- 1:06:03And we're the lucky ones. I think we we are the very, very
- 1:06:06lucky ones. And so I think what is so fun
- 1:06:09also is that I get a OK, here's the last part of that question
- 1:06:12of like what keeps me going? I think also I realized that
- 1:06:17every one of us has an opportunity switch on our back.
- 1:06:24So think about like a light switch.
- 1:06:25Is there a part of your back you can't touch?
- 1:06:28OK, there's a part of my back I can't touch either.
- 1:06:30So I'll tell my wife like, hey, we scratched this part of my
- 1:06:32back, right? I can't scratch that part of my
- 1:06:34back. Imagine there's a switch, OK?
- 1:06:38And that switch is the IT turns on the best version of yourself,
- 1:06:42right? So you turn that switch on.
- 1:06:44Guess what happens every time you lay down at bed, in bed, you
- 1:06:47lay down, the switch gets turned off.
- 1:06:49The next day, somebody has to come and turn that switch back
- 1:06:52on for you. Your wife, your husband, your
- 1:06:54boyfriend, your whatever, your best friends, the people you're
- 1:06:57hanging out with, your mentors. Somebody has to go behind you
- 1:06:59and go, hey, I believe in you, I love you.
- 1:07:01Let me turn your switch on today.
- 1:07:03Let me tell you something that's going to keep you going because
- 1:07:05I believe in what you're doing, whatever that is.
- 1:07:07Somebody has to breathe life into you to turn that switch on,
- 1:07:09right? That you can't reach yourself
- 1:07:11and it's shown up in your life 1000 times, some of your best,
- 1:07:14maybe something Tommy Mello said to you, Robert Kiyosaki and all
- 1:07:17his lunacy probably said something to you that inspired
- 1:07:20you, turned the switch on for you for that day.
- 1:07:23And so for me, every single day I'm going around and tapping the
- 1:07:26back of everybody I possibly can meet.
- 1:07:28Let me turn your switch on. Let me turn your switch on.
- 1:07:29Let me turn your switch on. And when people are around me, I
- 1:07:32am a, an infectious disease. I make people believe in
- 1:07:36themselves more than they ever thought they could believe in
- 1:07:38themselves just by spending 13 minutes with me, 'cause I know
- 1:07:41how to reach the back of people and turn their switch on.
- 1:07:44And that watching somebody's face light up, watching a tear
- 1:07:47come down their face, because now they can see a different
- 1:07:50version of themselves. Because I was able to reach that
- 1:07:52part of their back. Oh, there's nothing greater than
- 1:07:54that to me. That's why I win.
- 1:07:57Nobody will ever beat me because I care more than anybody else.
- 1:08:01You know, I have like in my real estate industry, people like,
- 1:08:03oh, I'm the best closer. I'm the best closer.
- 1:08:05I'm the best closer. First and foremost,
- 1:08:07congratulations, You'll never beat me because I simply care
- 1:08:11about people more than anybody else.
- 1:08:14That's all my, that's all I am. And magically it took a while
- 1:08:18for that to compound in my life. But for me, for a long time, I'm
- 1:08:21like, why did the nice guys lose in my 20s?
- 1:08:24I got taken advantage of. I got stolen from people.
- 1:08:26Like people, I'm sitting there trying to turn their switch on
- 1:08:28and I'm giving money and I'm doing this and creating
- 1:08:31alliances and all of these types of things.
- 1:08:32I thought, man, nice guys finish last.
- 1:08:36No, it just took a little bit of time for my cement to dry and
- 1:08:39for my walls to be built, my empire to be built.
- 1:08:42Just took a little while and now I have the strongest empire
- 1:08:45because I care about people more than anybody else.
- 1:08:48You ever meet somebody that's a Pace Morby fan, they'll say I've
- 1:08:51met him, he's looked me in my eyes, he's giving me a hug.
- 1:08:54He remembered my name. And I'm not talking 500 people,
- 1:08:58I'm talking 50,100 thousand people I've met shook their
- 1:09:02hand, met their kids, talked to their wife, thank them
- 1:09:06personally, remember their name. And so there's just something
- 1:09:09magical about being able to do all that.
- 1:09:12You're magical. You are too.
- 1:09:14Thank you, you are too. You're magical.
- 1:09:16And and what's tough is that, you know, maybe you needed me to
- 1:09:20turn your switch on today, but you are as as a friend, friend
- 1:09:26to friend, visionary to visionary.
- 1:09:27There's somebody out there waiting on you to like remove
- 1:09:30this brick from your head that you have in the next brick in
- 1:09:32the next brick in the next brick.
- 1:09:34And what's tough, Hannah, is that a lot of the work that we
- 1:09:36do is in the invisible right? And so like, as visionaries,
- 1:09:42we're very used to being on camera.
- 1:09:43Maybe you not so much because you've been hiding away from the
- 1:09:45camera for a while, but I'm very used to being on the camera.
- 1:09:49And so you could easily go, well, nobody's watching me.
- 1:09:53I'm not doing the work in front of people.
- 1:09:56And so I, I see a lot of visionaries that refuse to do
- 1:09:59the work in the invisible that shows up and they get, you know,
- 1:10:01what do they say? They say the, the, the quote is
- 1:10:03what we do in private. We get rewarded in public.
- 1:10:07There's a lot of crap you have to go through in private, and
- 1:10:10one of these big private things that nobody's going to see how
- 1:10:13much crap you're going to have to go through is finding an
- 1:10:15operator that is like, I am Hannah's biggest fan and I'm
- 1:10:19going to make sure that she gets to the top of the mountain.
- 1:10:21I'm going to be her Sherpa. If you're a Mount Everest fan at
- 1:10:24all, do you ever watch Mount Everest?
- 1:10:26Oh go and want. Oh my, I'm.
- 1:10:27So I'm obsessed with Mount Everest and so these Sherpas,
- 1:10:32it's so interesting that these people go to climb Mount
- 1:10:35Everest. They have these visions to be
- 1:10:36the top and they can't do it without a Sherpa.
- 1:10:38Do you know what a Sherpa is? OK, so there's a, a, a town in
- 1:10:42Nepal or a part of Nepal where the Mount Everest says that
- 1:10:46there's a group of people that have been are born and they live
- 1:10:50at such a high altitude their whole life that their lungs are
- 1:10:53used to that high altitude. And they can stay on Mount
- 1:10:57Everest longer than any other human alive because they were
- 1:10:59adapt. They adapted to that
- 1:11:01environment, their whole upbringing, right?
- 1:11:02It they're like, they have evolved, OK?
- 1:11:06They're called Sherpas. And what happens is if you want
- 1:11:10to go to the mount top of Mount Everest, you're not getting
- 1:11:12there on your own. You have to have a Sherpa.
- 1:11:14You have to. And not only that, you have to
- 1:11:17have a company of people that are like have 1520 Sherpas.
- 1:11:21And so here you are, Hannah going, I know I'm supposed to be
- 1:11:23at the top of the mountain. I know that I'm supposed to be
- 1:11:26this person putting a flag and, you know, doing something
- 1:11:29triumphant and doing something magical with my life.
- 1:11:31You're not going to do it without a Sherpa.
- 1:11:33And everybody that's tried has died.
- 1:11:36Go watch a Mount Everest documentary.
- 1:11:38It will change your life because there's so many parallels in
- 1:11:40regular life. So like I my event we have every
- 1:11:44year squat up summit. This year I have the first woman
- 1:11:46that summited Mount Everest ever.
- 1:11:49Like the first woman that ever touched the top of Mount Everest
- 1:11:52is coming to the thing. I'm more obsessed with that
- 1:11:54person than I am with I've got Jordan Peterson coming and Dean
- 1:11:58Graziosi and David Goggins. I'm like, those guys are cool.
- 1:12:01She's the best and she's going to tell the story about how she
- 1:12:04tried to do things without a Sherpa and how she failed over
- 1:12:07and over and over. So you are my new Netflix
- 1:12:10special, meaning I'm going to watch you.
- 1:12:12I'm going to see where Hannah is in in a year and everybody else
- 1:12:16is going to be watching you too. You shouldn't have 0 bricks on
- 1:12:20your head. You just shouldn't have this
- 1:12:22current brick on your head in 12 months.
- 1:12:23In fact, you should be done with it in three to six months.
- 1:12:26I will. You will.
- 1:12:28It's funny because everything you just said resonates so much
- 1:12:31about the helpers high and helping other people.
- 1:12:34And I have, I'm such an empath, but also with insane drive.
- 1:12:38But I know that I actually was on a plant medicine journey
- 1:12:41because I've I was suicidal when I was 21.
- 1:12:43I went through all this transformation.
- 1:12:45I spent the last 12 months really just diving into my core
- 1:12:48and healing and like, who am I? What am I?
- 1:12:50Why am I all those things? And I went on a medicine journey
- 1:12:54and, and I'm, I, my parents were like really Christian religious
- 1:12:58people. So I hated religion.
- 1:12:59I had a very complicated relationship with God for a long
- 1:13:02time. Me too.
- 1:13:04Really. Oh, yeah, I don't go to church.
- 1:13:06Yeah. You wouldn't tell by the how
- 1:13:08often I talk about God because I but I don't talk.
- 1:13:10I'd never talk about God. I the church, the religion, it
- 1:13:14turned the whole thing turned me off.
- 1:13:15The people in the church turned me off.
- 1:13:16Like all that kind of stuff. I under I understand maybe not
- 1:13:19as much as what you went through, but I'm on the same
- 1:13:20page. Yeah, yes, that was me.
- 1:13:22Was just like, where is God? God never comes to help me and
- 1:13:25my parents just gave God all the credit or you know, didn't see
- 1:13:29my issues or problems or fears because it was just, I would
- 1:13:32just pray to God and got you know, but then God never came.
- 1:13:34So I had a very difficult relationship with God.
- 1:13:37Then I was on this or no relationship, I would say.
- 1:13:41Then I was on this medicine journey and I like God was there
- 1:13:46and I felt God for the first time in my life.
- 1:13:49And I felt, you know, I'm not a crier, but I felt like all the
- 1:13:54pain that the little girl and me felt as a kid.
- 1:13:57And I started crying like for her.
- 1:13:59And then I started crying for the pain and suffering in my
- 1:14:02brother who had caused me so much pain.
- 1:14:04But then I for the first time saw what he was going through
- 1:14:07and the pain that he was in. And then for my mom did.
- 1:14:12You forgive him. Yeah, yeah, I know I forgave
- 1:14:14everyone in my family after this.
- 1:14:16But then it just kept expanding. And it then I felt the suffering
- 1:14:19in my mom. Then I felt the suffering in my
- 1:14:21dad, who wouldn't buy me an ice cream when I was 6.
- 1:14:24And that's that was the first day I said I was going to be a
- 1:14:27millionaire. And.
- 1:14:28That's what did it was ice cream.
- 1:14:29Yeah. That's amazing.
- 1:14:31I love food. Yeah, it was ice cream.
- 1:14:33And I said I'm going to be a millionaire so I could buy my
- 1:14:35family ice cream. And and then the pain I just
- 1:14:40like started weeping harder and harder and harder.
- 1:14:42And my bed was just getting soaked into.
- 1:14:45I didn't even know how much water I could cry out of my
- 1:14:48face. And I started feeling the pain
- 1:14:50in like every single human being in the entire world.
- 1:14:55And like it was in me. I felt all of it.
- 1:14:58And then I heard that it was my job to help all of the suffering
- 1:15:06in every single person in the world, knowing that I never will
- 1:15:09have the capacity to end it. Yeah.
- 1:15:11And that was my mission on this earth.
- 1:15:14That's powerful. Yeah, it was.
- 1:15:16It was a lot. Yeah, I've had a similar
- 1:15:19situation. I've I've never been into breath
- 1:15:22work until about 3 years ago and I had somebody kind of forced me
- 1:15:25into a room. Was it Jamil?
- 1:15:28Because that's who did did me. No, it was Jamil was there, and
- 1:15:34Jamil was definitely part of it. I was at a Mastermind I was part
- 1:15:36of a couple of years ago. And the guy who ran the
- 1:15:39Mastermind, Cody Sperber, he had his wife, Shannon Sperber at the
- 1:15:44time. She did breath work.
- 1:15:46And so she came in and they were like, peace, come in here.
- 1:15:50It's like a bonus session. I was like, no, I'm good.
- 1:15:52I'm going to catch up on some blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 1:15:54And they're like, dude, all that crap can wait.
- 1:15:56Come in here and just try this. Like, please just try this.
- 1:15:58And Jamil was there, but he knows, like, that's not my
- 1:16:00thing. And so he didn't push me.
- 1:16:02But Jamil was in the room I had the same similar experience of
- 1:16:05like I felt every part of my body felt like God was in every
- 1:16:13molecule. I was buzzing like I felt like
- 1:16:16if you touched me, I told somebody after the session, I
- 1:16:18was like, if you touch me, you're going to freaking die
- 1:16:21because I am full of lightning. Like I, I just felt, you know,
- 1:16:24the same thing you felt and then I encompassed all the pain and
- 1:16:27suffering in the world is really interesting.
- 1:16:29Similar experience, maybe not as powerful as what you went
- 1:16:31through, but I shook for like 30 minutes and Shannon had to like
- 1:16:35rub my back to get me back into like being normal.
- 1:16:38And from that moment, I started having breath work sessions at
- 1:16:40all of my masterminds because I realized how powerful it was to
- 1:16:44get people to open up and like get past all the blocks that
- 1:16:47they put in in front of themselves.
- 1:16:49And so I can't handle it every day.
- 1:16:51Jamil can do it every day, but like I can handle it once a
- 1:16:53quarter. But it was so magnificent for me
- 1:16:56that it like really got me in touch with the divine and got me
- 1:17:00in touch with my purpose. I love what you said where
- 1:17:02you're like, my job is to help people in the suffering.
- 1:17:05Even though I know that I'll never be able to accomplish it,
- 1:17:08it's still my job. That's freaking great.
- 1:17:12That's freaking great. That's why I'll never quit.
- 1:17:16Yeah, you'll never quit. And you know, it is tough
- 1:17:19because you look at people like, let's say, look at Tony Robbins,
- 1:17:21right? Worth billions of dollars has
- 1:17:24saved. I don't even know hundreds of
- 1:17:28millions of people from you know, he's directed them to
- 1:17:32positive and helped them avoid negative hundreds of millions of
- 1:17:35people, right that he's helped and here he is still at 6768
- 1:17:41years old like he's got a he's on a new mission that he's all
- 1:17:46ignited like to it's crazy. You know, you're similar.
- 1:17:48You have the same exact thing in you.
- 1:17:50You'll be doing the same exact thing.
- 1:17:52But you know what? Tony has a team.
- 1:17:56Yeah, he's got a great team. He's got a great team.
- 1:17:59It will. I know, I know, I'm just teasing
- 1:18:01you. Just it's, it seems it, it gets
- 1:18:04overwhelming to see where you know you're going and what you
- 1:18:07know you're meant for and all, all that you want to contribute
- 1:18:11to the world. And, you know, I just want to
- 1:18:14help as many like little Hannahs that I possibly can.
- 1:18:19But yeah, it's a big gap, you know, from where you are right
- 1:18:22now to like where you know, and the journey never ends.
- 1:18:26But that's The thing is just finding the right people to put
- 1:18:28in place that you can serve and that can serve you and serve the
- 1:18:31mission and surviving while you do it.
- 1:18:36Not running out of money. But you know what?
- 1:18:38Even if you run out of money, just you learn you, you have
- 1:18:40wisdom and you rebuild. If you, if I took all your
- 1:18:43money, I broke all your revenue streams, I took everything away
- 1:18:47from you today, could you build it back?
- 1:18:50Yeah. So get rid of the fear.
- 1:18:52Yeah, right. I told somebody the other day
- 1:18:53what financial freedom is to me is that you can take everything
- 1:18:57away from me and I have the ability to make money right now,
- 1:19:00today, like take everything, take my cell phone, all my
- 1:19:02connections, take everything away.
- 1:19:04You could put me in a corn field in Iowa with only shoes on, no
- 1:19:09cell phone, nothing. And I by the end of the day can
- 1:19:13make 20 grand. That's financial freedom.
- 1:19:15Knowing that I could go do that at the drop of a hat and I have
- 1:19:18No Fear. Then that rolls into the next
- 1:19:21conversation which people say if you could, if you knew you
- 1:19:24couldn't you could never fail, what would you attempt?
- 1:19:27Like what would you go and try and do if you knew you could
- 1:19:29never fail? My I can't fail because even if
- 1:19:32I have trip ups and things along the way I'll my bills will
- 1:19:35always be paid. The problem is the way you and I
- 1:19:38grew up. Like our family moved multiple
- 1:19:42times because my dad couldn't afford the house right?
- 1:19:45Like where we dirt poor. No we didn't sleep on dirt
- 1:19:48floors. My dad did a good job.
- 1:19:49We had clothes on our backs. You know, my mom was a great
- 1:19:54cook and there was casserole every single night, noodle
- 1:19:56casserole or whatever, tuna patties with ketchup, like, you
- 1:19:58know, anything with ketchup to add some flair.
- 1:20:03And in the back of your mind, the rest of your life, you will
- 1:20:07have this trauma about like, what if I make a bad decision
- 1:20:11and then I have to then do what my parents did to try and make
- 1:20:14ends meet? It is crazy like the little
- 1:20:17blueprints that our parents gave us that still show up in your
- 1:20:20life every single day of like, well, I'm fearful of taking this
- 1:20:22action because when I was young this thing happened and I don't
- 1:20:25know why I feel that it really is.
- 1:20:27It's a you got to go through some therapy, whether it's self
- 1:20:30done or with somebody else. But it is crazy how many times I
- 1:20:34have to stop and go, OK, hold on.
- 1:20:37Is this really a fear of mine or is this a fear that my parents
- 1:20:42gave me and I have to stop and the way I get through it is
- 1:20:45right, Write it down, right? Like what if this, what if this,
- 1:20:49what if this, what if this? I write it all down.
- 1:20:50It's cathartic. It's like getting it out there.
- 1:20:52I can feel it kinesthetically. I can feel it like the vibration
- 1:20:55of the ball on the paper. And at the end of it, I'm like,
- 1:20:59OK, that was a really silly fear.
- 1:21:01It's a really silly fear. Just sometimes I just got to
- 1:21:03write it all the way out, look at it, read it twice and go, am
- 1:21:06I really afraid of that? OK, cool.
- 1:21:09What's the best case scenario? What's the worst case scenario?
- 1:21:11And I'm, it's crazy, your parents gave you so many good
- 1:21:14things, but then your parents had these things that show up to
- 1:21:17you in your life and there's this residual effect inside of
- 1:21:19you right now that you're still battling.
- 1:21:21Me too. I have the, I have them too,
- 1:21:22still at 42 years old. And by the way, I take my
- 1:21:26daughters for ice cream like 3-4 times a week.
- 1:21:29And now I'm wondering like if I want my daughter to be a
- 1:21:31millionaire, maybe, maybe I should reject them from getting
- 1:21:34ice cream? Yeah, I I told my dad.
- 1:21:38I called him one time. We don't talk, but I called him
- 1:21:41one time and I told him that I wanted to tell him thank you
- 1:21:45because the first time I had the idea of being a millionaire was
- 1:21:48when he refused to buy me an ice cream and he took all the
- 1:21:52credit. He sucked, you know, he soaked
- 1:21:54it up and was like, you're welcome, like I'm the best dad
- 1:21:56in the world. But truly.
- 1:21:58And at first I was like, you piece of shit, you know, I hate
- 1:22:01you. But then I was like, truly,
- 1:22:03thank you. That has everything that's
- 1:22:06happened in my life and especially in my childhood and
- 1:22:09the the complications that I had mentally and just no worth, you
- 1:22:14know, didn't love myself, didn't feel loved, didn't feel worthy,
- 1:22:17didn't feel wanted, all those things, those were all my
- 1:22:19greatest blessings. And I have so much empathy today
- 1:22:23and I have such resilience today.
- 1:22:26And I have such drive and desire to create and to give because of
- 1:22:30that. And I don't know who I would.
- 1:22:32And yeah, it could. Like my brother, you know, he
- 1:22:34struggles with addiction and he never was able to get out of
- 1:22:39that. Still old to this day.
- 1:22:41Yeah. How old is he?
- 1:22:44He's eight years older than me, so 30.
- 1:22:46I'm 28, almost 29, so he's like 36.
- 1:22:51But you know, it's like 2 people.
- 1:22:53One's an alcoholic, one's a successful person.
- 1:22:54They both say it's because their father.
- 1:22:56And you know, it depends on how you look at it.
- 1:22:58But for me, I'm truly grateful for it and I think.
- 1:23:06Does your relationship with your parents make you not want to
- 1:23:09have kids? Yeah.
- 1:23:10Yeah. Or get married.
- 1:23:12I haven't got over that one. Interesting.
- 1:23:15I will tell you I have people on my team that are like, I'd never
- 1:23:19want to have kids and I look at them, I'm like, you will never
- 1:23:23understand true joy. I didn't have my first kid till
- 1:23:27I was 35. So I I lived plenty of life,
- 1:23:29traveled a plenty of places, ate at every best restaurant,
- 1:23:32restaurant. I've done everything you could
- 1:23:35imagine. And I can tell you not 1% of
- 1:23:41like the joy I feel from being around my kids smelling my
- 1:23:44daughter's hair. It's my child.
- 1:23:46Because what's interesting is like my molecules were used with
- 1:23:50somebody else's molecules to make new molecules.
- 1:23:54So my molecules resonate with the my, my, your children's
- 1:23:57molecule. They vibrate the same way.
- 1:24:00And so what's interesting is you connect with them on a level
- 1:24:02that you'll never be able to connect with anybody else on.
- 1:24:04I will never be able to connect with my wife on the level that I
- 1:24:08can connect with my children because they are my molecules.
- 1:24:12It is the craziest feeling. And so people that are like, I
- 1:24:15don't know that I want to have kids.
- 1:24:16I'm like, get, hopefully you can get over that because there's no
- 1:24:19greater joy. Even Elon Musk is like, you're
- 1:24:22sad in life. Have kids.
- 1:24:24What's tough? I mean, I'm a man.
- 1:24:26So like, what do I know about having kids?
- 1:24:28You know, greatest joy I've ever had.
- 1:24:31But I I can see that like having that trauma and dealing with and
- 1:24:35watching that blueprint of like what your parents gave you, them
- 1:24:38fighting, them struggling, them doing whatever, your dad being a
- 1:24:41butthole, whatever, your mom being whatever to you, not being
- 1:24:44a friend to you and like watching out for you.
- 1:24:46That's a tough thing too. Like when you're going through
- 1:24:49what you're going through and your mom, who should be your
- 1:24:51best friend on the planet as it as her daughter, your mom's not
- 1:24:54stepping up to the plate. I imagine when you were younger
- 1:24:57and just going hand, I'm your best friend, I'm here for you.
- 1:24:59Let's go through all this stuff together.
- 1:25:00It doesn't sound like that was happening either.
- 1:25:03It's tough. I can understand that.
- 1:25:05I can totally understand that. One of my best friends, Steve
- 1:25:07Harwood. Do you know Steve Harwood yet?
- 1:25:10I don't. Think.
- 1:25:11So most connected man you'll ever meet in your life?
- 1:25:13He's friends with everybody you can.
- 1:25:14You ever want to be connected with somebody?
- 1:25:16Get connected with Steve Harwood.
- 1:25:17You're now connected with everybody.
- 1:25:19Steve Harwood and I are in Dallas about a year ago and he's
- 1:25:23came to see me speak at Aspire. My wife and kids came and
- 1:25:26surprised me for my birthday. Oh, this is literally like a
- 1:25:29week. Next week it'll be a year.
- 1:25:32And my wife and my kids flew to Dallas without telling me and
- 1:25:36showed up in the audience while I was speaking.
- 1:25:38And Steve came and went to lunch afterwards.
- 1:25:42And Steve starts telling me about this therapy he's going
- 1:25:44through. He's like, I'm going through
- 1:25:45therapy. I've got over this, this, this,
- 1:25:46this. And I was like, amazing.
- 1:25:47What are you working on next? Like, what's the next brick on
- 1:25:49top of your head, Right? And he says I've got to learn
- 1:25:55how to forgive my father for all the things that he's done and
- 1:25:58how he has a better relationship with my other siblings than he
- 1:26:02does with me. And how he loves my other
- 1:26:04siblings kids more than he loves my kids.
- 1:26:05And like the way my relationship shows up in my life with him,
- 1:26:10shows up in my my, both my children, their lives.
- 1:26:15And he's like, I just, it's, it's one of the worst things in
- 1:26:18my life and I just don't know how to get over it.
- 1:26:20And I said, OK. Now Steve runs a company that
- 1:26:24probably does $200 million a year in revenue.
- 1:26:27I go to his office in Utah probably 3-4 times a year.
- 1:26:30His his customer. I'm sorry, his team handles my
- 1:26:34clients work all their LLCS, all their estate planning and all
- 1:26:37that kind of stuff. People that learn how to do real
- 1:26:39estate for me go get their estate planning done at this
- 1:26:41company. So I'm over here all the time
- 1:26:43talking to his team members. I mean, these people are buying
- 1:26:46houses, having children, investing, starting their own
- 1:26:48businesses on the side because of what Steve is built.
- 1:26:52So I'm sitting there at lunch with Steve and I go, Steve, can
- 1:26:54you give me a like give me, I want to, I want you to do
- 1:26:56homework for me. I'm just thinking about like
- 1:26:57your whole dad situation. I want you to just shoot me a
- 1:27:02text on the flight home. I want you to write down 15
- 1:27:04things in your life that you would never want to get rid of.
- 1:27:08OK, I don't know what that is for you, Hannah, but I imagine
- 1:27:10you have something in your life that you're like, I could never
- 1:27:12get rid of this thing. Is it who you are today?
- 1:27:15Is it the opportunities you have?
- 1:27:16Is it some of the relationships you currently have, your best
- 1:27:18friend, the opportunities you have, the friendships you've
- 1:27:20made? Are there things in your life
- 1:27:22that somebody come along, go. I'll give you a billion dollars
- 1:27:25to change your. Past so that you don't have the
- 1:27:27life today and so I go Steve go through that and give me 15
- 1:27:31things and of course he's like my relationship with my kids, my
- 1:27:34relationship with my wife, my relationship with my team, the
- 1:27:37companies I've built that have spurred on 300 other people the
- 1:27:4017. People that went and built their
- 1:27:41own companies. He sends me this big amazing
- 1:27:44list and I said, OK, now what I want you to do is I want you to
- 1:27:48text your dad that screenshot and say, dad, thank you for all
- 1:27:52of these blessings you gave me. I love you so much.
- 1:27:55I'm so grateful for everything. And I said stop trying to
- 1:27:59forgive your dad. Just show him gratitude, which
- 1:28:00is what you did. It's really powerful and big of
- 1:28:03you because most people just blame their parents.
- 1:28:05You recognize and you get, who cares?
- 1:28:07Your dad took credit. He deserves it, right?
- 1:28:10He went through, paid bills, did all the things, you know this,
- 1:28:12which is why you called him and gave him that credit.
- 1:28:14And Steve is like, dude, this chip I had on my shoulder is the
- 1:28:18reason why I'm successful. This chip you had on your
- 1:28:21shoulder is the reason you're successful.
- 1:28:23So think about all these people, OK, whether you coach them or
- 1:28:25you run into them or whatever, these people, their parents.
- 1:28:29Coddled. Them, they didn't teach them
- 1:28:31anything. There was no trauma to propel
- 1:28:33them forward. Why is Elon Musk so bad ass?
- 1:28:37He freaking hates his dad, you know that.
- 1:28:42He despises his dad. He can't be around his dad.
- 1:28:45He still talk shit about his dad.
- 1:28:47And I'm like, bro, you're worth $400 billion because of the
- 1:28:51spite. You literally went and built the
- 1:28:53coolest companies on the planet to spite your father.
- 1:28:57And I don't think that's the wrong way to do it.
- 1:29:00I just say what an amazing blessing that is that they give
- 1:29:03you. They gave you the TNT, they gave
- 1:29:05you the explosion to go do the thing.
- 1:29:07So even for my dad, like, you know, when my dad went to prison
- 1:29:10and made bad decisions and I had to take care of his wife and hit
- 1:29:13and his children, which are my siblings, I was like, what a
- 1:29:17what an amazing blessing this is.
- 1:29:18This is a big sack of lessons I get to learn from my father.
- 1:29:21And so I have no disdain towards my father.
- 1:29:24I don't try and talk to him frequently.
- 1:29:26He still asks me for money all the time.
- 1:29:28But I know that if I hung out with my dad, I'd get more
- 1:29:34lessons. But I think I'm at a point in my
- 1:29:35life where I'm like, I'm good. Yeah, I'm good without more
- 1:29:38lessons. Dad, I've learned enough from
- 1:29:40you, bro. Like, let's not hang out with
- 1:29:42each other. So you're at that same place.
- 1:29:44You'd rather learn lessons from people other than your dad.
- 1:29:48Oh my God, I just wish I could talk to you for like 10 million
- 1:29:50years, but I know we have to go. So your amazing face.
- 1:29:55You're amazing you, you have big things to build.
- 1:29:58There's people depending on you. You haven't met them yet, but
- 1:30:01they're depending on you. And if I could give anybody
- 1:30:04advice out there, you know, it's the same advice I would give to
- 1:30:07somebody like you that's a creator, is that you are going
- 1:30:10to change people's lives that you don't even know exist yet
- 1:30:12because of the work you're doing in the invisible.
- 1:30:14That nobody's going to see all the crap you have to go through,
- 1:30:17all the self doubt, all the things like questioning, every
- 1:30:19little decision you make, all of those little micro things, they
- 1:30:23add up and they build the foundation of who you are.
- 1:30:25And then you go build an empire that welcomes people into that
- 1:30:28empire. And those people are going to
- 1:30:31thank you. They already are.
- 1:30:32You already have that, which is amazing.
- 1:30:34You already have people. Thanking you from your content,
- 1:30:36from whatever you're doing in your world, product services
- 1:30:38that you're doing, but you have something so magic to give to

- 1:30:46get that brick off your head and let us know, let everybody in in
- 1:30:50the other side of the camera, Let everybody know when you

- 1:31:17those problems. So what's going to be fun is
- 1:31:19like how you smash this brick and then what brick you find
