  Speaker 2: For a couple of years?
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: A couple of years.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I was ubering in New Orleans before I moved here,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: and then when I came here, I was ubering for
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: maybe two or three years.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Now, this is after you graduated from college? Did you graduate?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I went to Weston, Tucky and graduating talking fourteen.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Now this is gonna a word this nicely. So you

  Speaker 1: graduate from college, are you concerned that you're ubering to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: get by or are you? No?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I knew I had a plan.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: What was the plan at that?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I mean it was entrepreneurship was the plan. I just
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: didn't know what it was gonna be. But I hit
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: that one a couple of big bets, and you know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: took it to the next level. I've been been since,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: like right out of high school.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: So did your parents know about this betting?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: They knew?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Were they in support of it?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I mean they wasn't in support of it, but they
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: wasn't against it either, as long as I wasn't asking
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: them for nothing. They weren't truer.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, So I was really driving like a lot of
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Uber so I could take the money I was taking
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: from Uber and bet it to like flip it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you were a straight entrepreneur from Jump from Jump, I.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Know, I wasn't work for nobody. Now, one job I
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: had after that, I said, nah, this ain't it. Can't
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: do it. I just can't see myself cocking in every
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: day from nine to five, and.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Just yeah, I have a similar issue. It's very hard
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: because I feel like time is the most valuable thing
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and I can't get it back. So how do you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: put a dollar amount that's worthy of taking that time,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and I value my time at a certain hour. Whether
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you value it at that hour or not.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: You know, it's all about yourself exactly.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So it just never seems to work out for me.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I think it's just better just to work for myself.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I make more money that way, and I get more
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of my time. Right, that's me so spoken like a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: shoe hustler. I've never seen anybody seasoned eggs with Tony's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: garlic or onion powder ever in my life, ever in
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: my life. So is that like a New Orleans thing?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And you did it straight home? Did it burn? Okay?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You like a chef? All right? So the eggs are
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: scrambled with Tony's garlic an onion smells gray.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Little pepper and lit a little salt. Don't really need butter?
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: M hm, Oh did you put butter in it?
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't even put butter in there.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Would you put on the bottom of the pan.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: The sausage juice? Oh?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Wow, you're a real cook. You're a real cook. I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: don't know why you don't cook.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I could. I mean, I was. I was in the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: relationship for a while, so I didn't have to. But
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: now that I'm saying, you know.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I get in the kitchen and make it work.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Can't just made those wings?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: And that's then all right, put that in there.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm gonna I'm gonna be your commentor so
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: he took the eggs and he dropped it in the noodles,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and then he's just gonna drop the sausages and all
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: of the sausage up. So and this is pork sausage.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: You like pork.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I love pork. Whether pork loves me or beef loves
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: me is a different story. But I love them, but
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I just can't eat them that often.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And it comes with these two little season and pacage.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: You're stow them on in there.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: With no water.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: You stow it in there and mix it up, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: then if if it ain't enough, thing, you know, you
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: just take a little more Tony's and throw it in
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: there or something.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's gonna be really salty, you think.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't want a second guess, No, no, no,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: don't second gainst yourself. Why don't you just jump it off.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do what I do because I don't care
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: if you like it. I like it. Let me. I'm
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: messing with you.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Ahead, go ahead, I'm gonna judge it. So I'm gonna
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: be honest.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I know, I know you're gonna be honest, but.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: But I definitely think just from watching it's going to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: be salty because you didn't even like sadm.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I'm from New Orleans and we you seasoning when we could,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: so it's.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I could tell this is nothing for real.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: You put Tony's in your eggs, that's nothing.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: It badly tastes like it. Though I didn't put that much.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I told it down for you. I probably for more
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: than that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I saw a lot of garlic powder hit them eggs.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I ain't never seen garlic powder on eggs. Man, A right,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I'm dying to try this though. I feel like it's
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: gonna taste great, but also very sold. But okay, come ons,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I want to get into the tea.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Let's get into the tea.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So, so you make money off uber, you start betting

  Speaker 2: Gotta take it to a comp of people that you
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: couldn't pro when you couldn't.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: What what helped you detach from money? You think?
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Just I just knew being an entrepreneur you're going to
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: lose before you win.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Was there ever a point where you questioned, though, like, hey,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: is this Hay does use the word like addiction, but
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: like because betting can be like close to gambling, right, Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I mean it is gambling. But I was never the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: type to like overristen myself like I would always. I
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: was always disciplined and knowing I'm not about to go
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: in there and bet my rent money and shit, some
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: people will do that like you were.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I lend money out, like I'm always.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I only lend money out on what I'm willing to lose,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: not willing to lose it. I don't lend it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some people bet they last, and that's not That's
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: not the way that So you had structure.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, instructure the whole time you're betting for the four years,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: are you saying I'm going to be the number one
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: sports better in the world.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Nah, it just happened that just like I just want
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: you to get close like this, you want to get closer.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: You're on this mic now.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I just happened.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Like I started off just sending best to my friends
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: and at that point they they like thought I was
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: doing They liked my best, but I got tired of senator.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Everybody started just made a group check.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Then eventually they was like, they're like, bro, just put
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: it on like I think said, put on Instagram or something.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: And I made like a little group on Instagram so
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: around people could join. And then they was like, bro,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: like you need to be getting paid for this. So
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: at that point, I just started charging on Instagram and
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: within like two days, I had like fifty people, and
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I'm like, this could be something else.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: And in the beginning, did you start with a free
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: subscription model or did you start right away with the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: charging the.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: At first, when I first made it, it was free
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: to like my friends and people that followed me, like
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: just follow me regular.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: And then I started charging ten a month, ten dollars
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: a month.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: But I had already seen people charging like five hundred
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: for one day and different stuff, so I'd already seen it,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: but I would never pay that because it like don't
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: make sense to me.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Something.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Let me let me try to pivot a little bit.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: So they like you should charge that. I'm like, you know,
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: let me just charge ten dollars.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: See what happened. Yeah, within like two days, like forty
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: fifty people.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: He's liken, bro, that ain't enough, like go up a
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: little bit, and so I went up to twenty yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: and it was just running up, and then at some
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: point it had sold out, like it was just too
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: many people. Like once you get to people following your bets,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: it'll mess the market. Hell, so too many people on
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: one side, the book is going to like move a
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: certain way, so like you like it needs to correct yourself,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: like I to me, on one side is gonna keep
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: going up and up and up and up, so people
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: are not gonna be able to take the same bet.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, can you break that down and layman's language for me?
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, So let's just say the Lakers are playing the Clippers,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: and the Lakers are the favorite that favored and minus street,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: and you have thousands of people betting minus three, it's
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: gonna go up to minus four, minus five, minus six,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: which means they have to win by three, one by four,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: one by five, one by six. Like it'll just keep
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: going up if it's only one side being bet okay.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: So basically I was it was like messing up the
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: market a little.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Bit, okay, because I had so many people taking on
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: one side, so I had to cut off my subscription,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: and then I up the price a little bit to
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: not have as many people come in at the same time.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, so then some people actually fell off.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Or I mean a lot of people still there like
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: they just but it's it's not as bad when the
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: sports the sports backups.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Sports betting market is growing, so it's a lot of
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: people like betting like it's it's growing every day. Yeah,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: so if I if you up the price a little bit,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: it's gonna stop as many cause it was coming in
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: like crazy at first. But I didn't I didn't want
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: I don't want two many people on the same bet
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: because it's they can't all take it.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: It's like the market's gonna move too much.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, So I had up the price a little bit
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: to stop adding people from coming in, but still make
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: it affordable for anybody to really still kind of get
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: in if they really really want to.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: So, what's your current price? Because I thought it was
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: what's your current Now it's one hundred a month. Yeah,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and then you have so technically you start as an entrepreneur,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: starting as a sports better but now you added an
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: additional stream of income because now you have a subscription base.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Now when you were coming up with this model. Were
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you shocked at how much revenue that alone was bringing
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: in without the sports betting?
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was. I was kind of shocked.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: I didn't think it was gonna I was like, because me,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: I was never the type to pay for sports picks, Like,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I was like, I'm gonna fire on my own. But
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: I was surprised about how many people would actually do it.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: People have an addiction to betting.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: But they suck.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so they need to go somewhere where they can
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: get good picks and still enjoy themself so they're not
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: losing as much. Because even if somebody's fifty percent, if
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: they're losing money and they come to you when you're
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: sixty percent, they're happy.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: With that because they were losing before.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they just want to keep be in it. Yeah,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: So I'm like saving the community.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: You're hilarious. Do you feel pressure thought being the picker?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I hate losing. I hate losing for them, not even
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: not for myself, but for them, cause I know they
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: might need it a lot more than nottingly.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: But how do you handle that because that's a different
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: type of loss versus like losing actual money. Y, you
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: know how you said you were detached from the money, right,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: so that was like betting your own Like even with
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: my friends, Like if I do something risky, I'm always like,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: let me take it first, and then if it works,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: all the homies can jump on. And then n a
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: lot of times it don't work out on me, I'm like, uh,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I guess I didn't have to deal with the that
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: part of letting someone down. But in your case, you
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: can't detach.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: From your well that's well, that's why I charge monthly,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: so it's like you get a whole month of picks.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: So like if I lose one day, I'm telling you all,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: like you just relaxed, like we good, Like we don't.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: We gonna get it back. We gonna do what we
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: gotta do. But it just depends on like how they're
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: managing their money, cause it's like bank orman, it's a
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: lot of stuff that goes into it. You can't just
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: be betting it all every day cause eventually you're gonna
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: lose one one of those days. So like you gotta
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: be able to manage your money. So I try to
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: teach them everything they need to be successful. But if
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: they listen, they listen. If they don't.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: They don't you teach you about the money management too?
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: I try to, Yeah, I I don't. I don't like
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: go into full depth, but I kind of tell them like, Okay,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: look risk this amount of your bank road when you're betting,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: so you're not betting too much?
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. Wow. And then going back to the detachment, are
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: you able to detach if you have a loss?
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Me, Yeah, I don't care. I I lost yesterday. I
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: ain't gonna I I got cool. No, not not for
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: you personally, for them, oh for them, Yeah, I mean
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I I It's like, I'm like, you can tell somebody
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: what to do, but you can't make them do it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: So like if I tell you exactly what to do,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: when you decide to do something else, that's kind of
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: on you.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So what are some of the stories you've heard
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: from people that one that were like crazy that you
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: were able to transform.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Somebody told me about the Mama House, about their Mama car,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: like they don't quit their jobs.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Like stuff like that just makes me happy.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Do you have any people that aspire to be you,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: like a sports better.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I have a few mentors that a mentor that I
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: basically showed them how to do what I do basically,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: and people people look up to me.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like, so, yeah, now, what does your family
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: say about this industry that you're in?
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like they don't really have too
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: much to say.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: They're proud, well obviously, Plus the money speaks for yourself,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: right right.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm probably one of the riches in my family.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: So wow, that's a lot to say. Are you the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: first entrepreneur?
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: No.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I think there's a people for me.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: But none that you trained from. No, did you have
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: a mentor no? So at what point does you start?
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: So after?
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: What? At what point does the subscription model take place?
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Three years ago?
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Three years ago? Okay, and you're not working at all
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: at this point? Are you still doing I wasn't working.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: When did you quit Uber? Officially? Officially?
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I quit probably a year before. I started doing.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Subscriptions a year before, and that was just off. You've
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: been doing better?
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I quit actually because of COVID. So around around the
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: COVID time when you couldn't we couldn't really do that.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, they couldn't do Uber during COVID. Well, nobody was
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: really driving out, so we had to figure it out yeah, yeah,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: they're like doors right, uber they had over because people
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: weren't there getting like food delivered to their house. Like
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: everybody was scared. I know in New York you could
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: have cleaned up because nobody, nobody.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: In my crib. I didn't even want to go outside
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: for really, like I was. I wasn't trying to kiss that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: But around that time is when I stopped like ubering
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: and I just tried to like I was figuring it
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: out and been on different sports and different little shit.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: So you're just at home. And then were you able
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to take advantage of the the COVID, the COVID, the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: COVID unemployment or whatever incentives they had during Yeah, yep.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: At any point did you like try to do a
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: PvP to like bet or no, or you're not going
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: to do that.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I wasn't trying to play with them people.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, So you survived COVID gracefully or on top you
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: did the subscription during COVID or after.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I started kind of like right after it's like around
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: well in twenty five.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: It's in twenty two, so like right when the world
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: started on like like when I started back up again. Okay, Yeah,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and then how did you handle like the marketing of it.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I mean I always felt like I was a good marketer,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: So I just I do everything myself, like everything was
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: done by me.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I see, you come with your own team to
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: do b rolling all of that.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we do everything.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: So now is your infrastructure like marketing subscriptions and betting?
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, marketing subscriptions and betting it is my main source.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: But subscriptions they're branks in a lot of money too.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: And then how are you at delegating what you mean
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: delegating like some of the jobs in your company?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just I don't know.

  Speaker 1: Okay, it's nice. Where did you see yourself going with
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: sports betting being the number one sports better?
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, at some point it's gonna be too big
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: where I'm going to have to hire like more and
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: more people. But for now, it's just I'm gonna keep
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: it at what it is until I have to do more.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I don't really have to.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: But your main responsibility, would you say for the company
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: is it the sports betting, like the picks part.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like the main the main thing.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: And I said, I don't have like I got bots

• 30:58
  Speaker 1: of here. Guys, we just know. I don't like it
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: was crazy because the one was quiet, but I felt
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: like that could have been a very suave way of
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: saying that was good. Is that DJ with the hat?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Just for y'all to know. Okay, okay, so you know
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: your crew? Okay, day in the life is you do
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the picks? What is the most expensive? What is the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: one of the first purchases you did? Once you want
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: enough money to splurge and which one the lamb yours?
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: It's my dream car, guys, all right? And then what
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: was like one of the purchases that you purchased that
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: you wish you could never do again.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Probably just like a bust of design of clothes eyes
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: no wear no more, Oh thousand dollars pants here a
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: thousand pans.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: What were some of the most painful entrepreneur lessons you
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: had to learn along the way?
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: I would just say, learning how to manage money.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Even though you've been managing money for so long.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean in the beginning it was it was
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: still because I didn't have money. So it's like I was,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: I was managing, but I was working to like because
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I know, like if I go, if I spend so
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: much money, I would have to drive for so long
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: and make it right back. So like that was that
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: was around the time where I just I don't know,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: I just was blowing through it and working to get
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: it back if I lost it.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So what are your foundations when it comes to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: managing your money? Like, what are some things you don't
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: play with when it comes to managing your money?
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Well, now me, I try to I have like a
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: system where it's like Okay, I spend I take fifty percent,
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: I put it up, I take twenty percent.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I spend it here. No more than ten percent on housing.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: No more than five percent on No more than ten
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: percent on housing. Yeah, that's impressive. That's impressive. Are we
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: going five percent on car?
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Sorry?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Most people, I think housing is almost forty percent, right
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: to fifty.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Percent, especially in la is high.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: In la is high. But you're in la and yours
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: is that ten percent?
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: That's really good for money management, because if you're doing
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: ten percent, that means you're being extremely conservative or make
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: an extremely a lot. But that's what I'm saying, you're
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: not adjusting those Oh right, right, right, Yeah, So I
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: think that's like you're really good money management. And I
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: think I'm.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Down't play about that, like I'm gonna put up what
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: I gotta put up unless I said, unless some extreme
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: things happen and I have to like dip over here,
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: I'll do it because I know what I got.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: But it's like, I try to stay until it's fifty
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: percent and put the rest of up.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: And when you say put the rest up, now, does
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a portion of that go into the bedding or is
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: it like fifty percent goes into the savings to investing
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: or just like investing as in stocks or investing crypto. Wow. Okay,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: so you do diversify your portfolio.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have cryptos, I have stocks, I have a
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: few different things.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: And then how much of your money management goes into
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: the rebetting of your own picks? How's a tiky question.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I haven't.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know the last time I put money into
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: my account to bet because I just had I've been winning,
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: so I'll take for my winnings and leave what I
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: got in.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: There and just keep betting on what I have.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you're saying.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: So it's been a while since I actually deposit into
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: my account.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Because you're just re betting the same money over and over.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. I'm joining the squad, but you're gonna
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: have to teach me how to do it. But what
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: happens if someone like me comes in right and we
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: don't know anything is the expectation that we should know something.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: No, a lot of people don't know nothing when they
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: come to me. But I have like little videos you
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: can watch.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: You have to be you have to be able to
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: be kind of self sufficient a little bit because I'm
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: not about to get on the phone with you every
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: day and like walking through every little step less like
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: you're really close to me.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: But if you too, you can do that, right.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: But like somebody just follow me on Instagram and they're like, bro,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm doing. I'm there's things you
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: can see to you gotta watch, Like you gotta be
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: able to watch the videos. I'll see somebody video. I say,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: have you watched it?
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: And they say no?
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: So why are you asking me what to do? Like
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: I've sent you what to do and you're not watching it?
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Like I can't help you get out yourself.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: When you're subscribers subscribe, do they have opportunities to actually
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: chat with you directly?
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: It's all about most most of the time, it's buy
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: services usually. Okay, So don't have time to like reply
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: to hundreds of messages every day?
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Hundreds? How many subscribers do you have now, if you
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: don't mind me asking a couple of thousands?
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, So now you have your mainstream subscription income, and
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: then you have your money. That's so your money is
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: just making money for your your money is actually making
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: money for it at this point.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, but that's how you make your money work
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I supposed to be what do you see? The next
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: phase stages are in scaling, like how do you scale
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: even more?
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: At this point, I don't know.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I got to sit down and really figure that out,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: maybe starting an actual company where I hire betters to
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: bet under me and maybe showing them how to market.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, I feel like you're so good
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: as an entrepreneur and financial management you can also do
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: like speaking on the pivots and all that. Because the
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: subscription model, sometimes people don't roll the dice on themselves
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: and say I'm going to go the extra model and
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: do a subscription That in of itself I think takes courage.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Definitely, it does.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: You gotta you still got to still still be gotta
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: willing to bet on yourself. But if you're sport's betting
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: not it's not a ten year pay.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: For a subscription.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, so you think that if.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Especially if it's only twenty fifteen do but now you're
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: a hundred.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: But even a hundred if you're if if you can't
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: pay one hundred dollars took for some good pig, you
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: shouldn't betting because you should betle to make that back
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: in the month.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, true, especially if you're losing.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what is the biggest bet? Do you get to
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: see what they do? You don't get to see I
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: only see it if they send it to me.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: But I can't see what they do. But if somebody
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: sometimes they hit me like bro a big bag today,
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Like I'm like, that's what's up?
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Do they ever like put some money in a tip jar?
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Like hey thanks?
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Maybe like two or three times, but it's not it's
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: not often where they send me it two But I
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: don't really, I don't care.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Do you have mentors?
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Do I have a mentors? No? I don't have any mentors?
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Wow?
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Why oh yeah, I never had anything. I probably should.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I probably be a lot further ahead.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: But are you in a tray? You are you? Guys?
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: A tray? You are you? Guys?
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: I met him when I first moved there, like he
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: was my neighbor.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, he was your neighbor. But there's no like mentor
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: type because you guys both are entrepreneurs, do you guys?
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it wasn't No, it's not a mentor thing.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Just that's like like a friendship.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's actually the.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: One that told me somebody to hit my car when
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: they first hit it, and I was like, what when
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: outside totally?
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Do you still have the Mustange? Okay? Let me said,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I still have a picture of your total car.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I would have been happy if I got a check
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: for a total out, because sometimes you can total out
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: a car and you can actually keep the car and
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: get the check. Do you know what I'm talking about? Look,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: he's trying to find I'm.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Trying to find it was that was so long ago.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna see if I can find it real quick.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: It's right when I first moved a trying to go.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Back to like you must have been.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I was pissed because I was like, what am I
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: gonna do?
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: But but you had the Mustang?
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Because you can't do it in the Mustang?
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So what advice do you give to young
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: people trying to pursue what you're trying to do?
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: I would just say just keep you gotta keep going,
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: even you gotta take take the losses with the wins
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: and keep going because people will win and they'll blow
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: it all and then they'll lose and they be like
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: this is not for me, But then they forgot what
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: got me in the first place.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: You just gotta keep going.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this doesn't feel like work to you because
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: you genuinely enjoy I have fun every day. You only
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: do football, or you do other.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: S football, basketball, and baseball.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, did you have picks for the games of
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: baseball recently?
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And I cashed out Game seven.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: I had the Blue Jays plus one and a half
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: and they lost by one. But I kind of think
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: it either it was gonna win or that just gonna
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: win by one. So that's why I took that too.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I don't even understand how people can do that, like
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: what bet bet by the scores and stuff like that.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: By one, I mean, that's that's the that's the that's
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: the basic that's the basic model. So basically, I don't
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: make the lines. The sports would make the lines. You
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: take either side. So like in that specific game, it
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: was plus one and a half for the Blue Jays,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: so they couldn't they could lose or they could win,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: but they just couldn't lose by more than one, and
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: they lost by exactly one.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: So that's how you do it.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: So I went on that bit.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: But they determine the they determined Oh, I thought you
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: just like it would be like by two.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: No, I don't make the lines. I mean, but that's
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: part of what I do too. I know how to
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: make the lines.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: And if I see an error in with the lines
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: that they make, then I go make my pickspace off
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: of what they make. So if I say, if they
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: say the line, the line is seven and a half,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: but I say, no, the line should be three and
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: a half, Okay, let me go ahead and take this side,
• 40:35

  Speaker 1: but with that being said, it's like you can't discount
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: you spent like four or five years trial and error,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: on top of betting your own money, on top of Okay,
