- 0:00Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
- 0:03Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
- 0:07Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
- 0:11Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 0:15Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 0:19Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
- 0:23Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
- 0:28Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
- 0:31Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
- 0:35Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
- 0:39Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
- 0:43Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
- 0:46Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
- 0:55Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 1:00Speaker 3: I think it's important to really talk about balance and
- 1:02Speaker 3: what does it really mean. So very rarely in life
- 1:07Speaker 3: are you going to have balance. I think that the
- 1:09Speaker 3: whole goal of life is to be unbalanced. So you
- 1:12Speaker 3: can achieve balance, but you have to be unbalanced at
- 1:15Speaker 3: a certain point to achieve balance. So this isn't theory.
- 1:19Speaker 3: In twenty fifteen, I was on the couch at my parents' house.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Things wasn't going good for me, but that was an
- 1:29Speaker 3: opportunity for me to stay up to two o'clock three
- 1:34Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning and really master social media. Taught
- 1:39Speaker 3: myself how to edit a variety of different things. When
- 1:42Speaker 3: I was just playing around with apps, Mike would give
- 1:44Speaker 3: me a suggestion about this app, and then I would
- 1:46Speaker 3: take three hours to learn the app and then make
- 1:47Speaker 3: content and then do this. I had a career as
- 1:51Speaker 3: a financial advisor that I had to do from nine
- 1:53Speaker 3: to five or longer, and then from nine o'clock to
- 1:58Speaker 3: two o'clock in the morning, when everybody was sleep and
- 2:00Speaker 3: it was cemetary silence, I could close the blinds and
- 2:04Speaker 3: I would work. That was extremely unbalanced and continued that
- 2:09Speaker 3: even now. Right, But these are sacrifices that were made
- 2:12Speaker 3: eight years ago to get me to the point where
- 2:16Speaker 3: I am now. So I think that the idea or
- 2:20Speaker 3: the fairy tale of a balanced life is something that
- 2:25Speaker 3: is unrealistic for anybody that's trying to achieve greatness, especially
- 2:28Speaker 3: if you're.
- 2:28Speaker 4: An entrepreneur or you're a business owner.
- 2:31Speaker 3: So it's your responsibility to be able to communicate this
- 2:37Speaker 3: to your wife's significant other children, and they have to
- 2:40Speaker 3: understand how to deal with disappointment because the sacrifices that
- 2:44Speaker 3: you're making are luxuries that they're provided. So this is
- 2:50Speaker 3: an unbalanced life that I've never seen anybody that has
- 2:54Speaker 3: had any level of balance that have achieved the high
- 2:56Speaker 3: level of success. When we met Robert Smith, it was
- 2:58Speaker 3: seven o'clock in the morning on Friday. He was already
- 3:01Speaker 3: working and he told us that he was flying out
- 3:03Speaker 3: that next day. And he flies out all the time,
- 3:05Speaker 3: de stout. Every single person, same story, flying in different countries,
- 3:10Speaker 3: different continents. That may seem like it's a lavish life
- 3:14Speaker 3: that they're living, but their sacrifices that's made. They're not
- 3:18Speaker 3: with their families all the time. They're not with their
- 3:20Speaker 3: children all the time, they're not with their spouse all
- 3:22Speaker 3: the time, they're not listening to music, they're not playing
- 3:24Speaker 3: poker all the time. So it's something that we can't
- 3:29Speaker 3: always sugarcoat something and make it okay. No, there is
- 3:33Speaker 3: no level of successful balance, especially in the beginning stages,
- 3:37Speaker 3: that you have to make sacrifices. This is why everybody
- 3:40Speaker 3: won't achieve success. This is why it's called the sacrifice.
- 3:44Speaker 3: You have to sacrifice things like playing video games, you
- 3:47Speaker 3: have to sacrifice things like going to the movies, you
- 3:50Speaker 3: have to sacrifice things like random nonsense on social media
- 3:54Speaker 3: for hours at a time. If you're not willing to
- 3:55Speaker 3: make those sacrifices, that's okay, But you're also probably will
- 3:59Speaker 3: not be able to be a high level of success,
- 4:01Speaker 3: and that's okay too. So I think that you know,
- 4:04Speaker 3: at some point in time, we just.
- 4:05Speaker 4: Have to be honest.
- 4:06Speaker 3: You can't always sugarcoat things, and you can't always paint
- 4:09Speaker 3: a fairy tale. This is things that I personally went
- 4:12Speaker 3: through and have still going through, and this is the
- 4:14Speaker 3: things that I've seen other people going through, and every
- 4:17Speaker 3: single person has the same story. It's an extremely unbalanced
- 4:21Speaker 3: life to hopefully one day achieve balance. So I just
- 4:25Speaker 3: think that that's important to keep in mind, because, like
- 4:27Speaker 3: I said, we live in a day and age where
- 4:29Speaker 3: everybody has an opinion, but very few people have any
- 4:32Speaker 3: level of expertise to speak on that opinion. If you
- 4:34Speaker 3: haven't if you haven't become successful, how can you teach
- 4:36Speaker 3: me about success? So when you're when you're on your
- 4:41Speaker 3: journey to be successful, understand that there's going to be
- 4:44Speaker 3: sacrifices that you have to make. And if you're not
- 4:46Speaker 3: willing to make those sacrifices, then that's okay. But just
- 4:50Speaker 3: understand your life will still be unbalanced because when you're
- 4:54Speaker 3: at the bottom and you have all the time in
- 4:56Speaker 3: the world to spend with your family, then they're going
- 4:58Speaker 3: to complain because you don't have enough money to provide.
- 5:01Speaker 4: A certain point.
- 5:02Speaker 3: You're a certain point be unhappy because you can't provide
- 5:05Speaker 3: a certain lifestyle for yourself or for your family. So
- 5:08Speaker 3: they're still unbalanced even when you think that you're having balanced.
- 5:11Speaker 5: Today's monologue was brought to you by Assets of Reliabilities
- 5:15Speaker 5: and red paand the Stock Club. Now I agree balance
- 5:19Speaker 5: is an illusion. But when I'm with my child, I'm
- 5:22Speaker 5: fully with him. But he I've also began to teach
- 5:26Speaker 5: him since he was young, and it's not like you're
- 5:30Speaker 5: all working all the time and you never see your family.
- 5:32Speaker 5: Like losing your family is not something that we're aiming for,
- 5:36Speaker 5: but to be done at three and I've always said
- 5:38Speaker 5: that if you think that, like every time I leave
- 5:40Speaker 5: and I'm at a tropical place, if you think I'm
- 5:42Speaker 5: just laying on the beach and getting grapes fed.
- 5:45Speaker 6: To me, that's not it. Like even the shows and
- 5:48Speaker 6: travel are work.
- 5:49Speaker 5: But the goal is to get to a place of
- 5:52Speaker 5: financial freedom so that you're able to help yourself your family.
- 5:56Speaker 5: And I'm gonna be very honest, like you said, like
- 6:00Speaker 5: if you don't have if you have a preponderance of
- 6:04Speaker 5: time available for your family, at some point they're going
- 6:06Speaker 5: to get bored or they're going to be disappointed that
- 6:08Speaker 5: you didn't work hard enough to get to where you
- 6:10Speaker 5: want it to be. So I know it's you know,
- 6:13Speaker 5: books like the four hour work week and all these
- 6:16Speaker 5: life hacks, but none of the people that are at
- 6:18Speaker 5: the top of the food chain, captive of industry are
- 6:22Speaker 5: doing any of those things. Please be mindful about the
- 6:25Speaker 5: information that is given to you for clicks versus the
- 6:28Speaker 5: information that actually works.
- 6:32Speaker 7: It's real spill. It's real spill, and that sacrifice part.
- 6:36Speaker 7: I'm glad you said it because it happens to us
- 6:40Speaker 7: every day. Like I posted something yesterday, my son scored
- 6:42Speaker 7: his first touchdown yeah, you.
- 6:44Speaker 4: Know what was appsent from the video me.
- 6:48Speaker 7: I had to get a clip from somebody that taped it,
- 6:51Speaker 7: and that you know, I mean, does it hurt?
- 6:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it hurts.
- 6:53Speaker 7: I mean we spent hours in the front yard playing
- 6:56Speaker 7: catch for him to get to that point where he
- 6:57Speaker 7: could catch the ball and run with the ball. These
- 7:00Speaker 7: things that we worked on to see all accumulate to
- 7:03Speaker 7: him actually scoring a touchdown and you not being there
- 7:05Speaker 7: to see it. Nobody worries about that part. But the
- 7:08Speaker 7: explanation when I get home is like, Yo, I'm so
- 7:10Speaker 7: proud of you. I'm so proud of you. I missed it,
- 7:12Speaker 7: but he gets it. He understands that I have to
- 7:14Speaker 7: do work. He understands that as the benefits that come
- 7:16Speaker 7: with it. That's why I said, even in relationships with
- 7:18Speaker 7: your spouse, like communications port, communication with your children is
- 7:22Speaker 7: important as well, so they can understand it and they
- 7:25Speaker 7: get to watch it. And that's why we always say,
- 7:26Speaker 7: like we're going to leave by demonstration first and foremost right.
- 7:29Speaker 7: How we conduct ourselves as men, how we conduct ourselves
- 7:32Speaker 7: as fathers, how we conduct ourselves as sons, right because
- 7:35Speaker 7: our mothers.
- 7:36Speaker 4: We're fortunate to have our.
- 7:37Speaker 7: Parents all these things are being taken in and they're
- 7:40Speaker 7: going to shape the next generation that we're provided for
- 7:44Speaker 7: and that we're upbringing right now.
- 7:46Speaker 4: But that, I mean gets overlooked all the time.
- 7:49Speaker 5: Yeah, even at Troy's birthday party here about, like y'all
- 7:51Speaker 5: were about to go out, got to show the next day.
- 7:53Speaker 5: I'm like, I want to go out. I got to
- 7:56Speaker 5: prepare for the show. Disinvest thatst This is the first
- 8:00Speaker 5: I was out, and even the promoter was like, well,
- 8:02Speaker 5: I know you ain't gonna show up, but if you
- 8:03Speaker 5: can just sing your people, I'm like, no, you're paying
- 8:05Speaker 5: me to come.
- 8:05Speaker 6: I'm gonna come. I'm not gonna just flake out on you.
- 8:08Speaker 5: I think we have to put Even when I make
- 8:10Speaker 5: the comment on Zoe show, hey stay in the house
- 8:12Speaker 5: five years, like.
- 8:13Speaker 6: Main, no wear in hell. I can do that.
- 8:16Speaker 5: The choices you can either sacrifice. I ask them all
- 8:18Speaker 5: the time whenever we out.
- 8:20Speaker 6: Hey, I don't even know how you do.
- 8:21Speaker 5: This because a lot of times you get to see
- 8:24Speaker 5: the end products. You don't get to see the build
- 8:26Speaker 5: up that it takes it just to even do this show.
- 8:32Speaker 5: Every time I'm getting out of the uber, like what
- 8:33Speaker 5: do you having here?
- 8:34Speaker 4: Body?
- 8:34Speaker 5: I gotta take the equipment just in case something happens,
- 8:38Speaker 5: and they're like, hey, got to recourd on O Wednesday
- 8:40Speaker 5: or schedule change.
- 8:41Speaker 6: You never know. Always be prepared.
- 8:43Speaker 5: But I noticed the people that are most prepared are
- 8:45Speaker 5: the ones that end up taking advantage. We're you're about
- 8:48Speaker 5: to be in twenty twenty four. Technically the market has
- 8:50Speaker 5: been down since twenty nineteen. I ask them every week
- 8:53Speaker 5: how many people started the show, and they show fell
- 8:56Speaker 5: off just because.
- 8:57Speaker 2: They wouldn't be consistent.
- 9:00Speaker 3: Yeah, and then also it's like one of these things where,
- 9:02Speaker 3: like I said, your goal might not be to be
- 9:04Speaker 3: a millionaire or to have financial freedom. That's okay, but
- 9:08Speaker 3: just understand that you're still it's not a balance. I
- 9:11Speaker 3: don't I never you can't say well, I just want
- 9:14Speaker 3: to I'm just providing for my family, like somebody. At
- 9:17Speaker 3: some point in time, somebody's gonna argue, somebody's not going
- 9:19Speaker 3: to be happy, because I've seen it. Financial hardship causes issues.
- 9:26Speaker 4: This is not a debatable fact.
- 9:28Speaker 3: It causes resentment, It causes issues, It causes internal problems.
- 9:32Speaker 3: So just understand that you're choosing a certain level of imbalance.
- 9:36Speaker 3: You might have all the time in the world. You
- 9:38Speaker 3: might have all of the you're playing, all the video games,
- 9:40Speaker 3: you're going to every game, you're going all the soccer games,
- 9:42Speaker 3: you're coaching. That's a blessing. It's going to come atide.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Money is going to be an issue. Money is going
- 9:51Speaker 3: to be an issue.
- 9:53Speaker 6: Here's the test.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Tell your girl right now, I lost all my money
- 9:58Speaker 5: listening to the end. You got to pay all the
- 10:00Speaker 5: bills for the next eight months and see what the
- 10:02Speaker 5: response is and she.
- 10:05Speaker 3: And she'll do it. And like I said, there's a
- 10:08Speaker 3: lot of women that are paying bills. That's the head
- 10:13Speaker 3: of the household, and they'll do it. Watch how they
- 10:18Speaker 3: talk to the man to watch how you talk to you. No,
- 10:22Speaker 3: I'm not this is this is real.
- 10:24Speaker 4: This is a fact.
- 10:24Speaker 3: This is factual. Watch how they talk to you, and
- 10:30Speaker 3: watch how the roles were reversed as far as watch
- 10:33Speaker 3: how they talk to a man that is providing everything
- 10:35Speaker 3: for them. I'm not saying that you have to provide everything.
- 10:37Speaker 3: I'm just saying I'm just using this as a case
- 10:39Speaker 3: study because I've seen both sides of it. I've seen
- 10:42Speaker 3: how men get talked to that provide everything. I see
- 10:45Speaker 3: how men get talked to that provide nothing. I see it.
- 10:49Speaker 3: There's always exceptions to the rules.
- 10:51Speaker 4: I get it. But I'm telling you this is a
- 10:55Speaker 4: one fact, so so it just gives what it is.
- 11:03Speaker 7: Erness what's up. You ever walk into a small business
- 11:05Speaker 7: and everything just works like the checkout is fast, the
- 11:09Speaker 7: receipts are digital, tipping is a breeze, and you're out

- 13:58Speaker 3: I tied up what I'm saying. At some point, we
- 14:00Speaker 3: just we just hurt Marge. John shot out to magic.
- 14:04Speaker 3: He's sixty five years old. Damn there, probably on his
- 14:07Speaker 3: way to become a billionaire.
- 14:08Speaker 4: He took him.
- 14:08Speaker 3: He wakes up at four o'clock in the morning, now
- 14:11Speaker 3: to four o'clock in the morning, goes to better ten o'clock,
- 14:14Speaker 3: the hour of lifting way to our cardio, takes a shower,
- 14:18Speaker 3: eat breakfast. Then he's in the office day segment and
- 14:22Speaker 3: he said, you know, my wife understands I'm not home.
- 14:25Speaker 4: I'm not I'm on the world. I'm doing.
- 14:27Speaker 3: This is somebody who is one of the greatest basketball
- 14:29Speaker 3: players of all time, one of the greatest entrepreneurs of
- 14:32Speaker 3: our generation, definitely also from our culture, has done tremendous things.
- 14:37Speaker 3: Like I said, probably up around five hundred million dollars
- 14:39Speaker 3: something like that. I think, yeah, keep going, And this
- 14:42Speaker 3: is this is the This is the level of discipline
- 14:45Speaker 3: that he is displaying. This is the work ethic that
- 14:47Speaker 3: he's displaying. Michael Jordan. I tell this story all the time.
- 14:50Speaker 3: I met a guy and he was like when Michael
- 14:53Speaker 3: Jordan was on the Wizards. Mind you, this is the
- 14:55Speaker 3: end of Michael Jordan's career, after he's already been established
- 14:58Speaker 3: as the greatest of all time and all of these
- 14:59Speaker 3: different things. And there was a rumor that the building
- 15:03Speaker 3: that the guy was staying in, Michael Jordan would go
- 15:05Speaker 3: there to train in the morning. So the guy comes
- 15:08Speaker 3: at seven o'clock in the morning with his son because
- 15:11Speaker 3: it was like, I want to just I want to
- 15:12Speaker 3: see Michael Jordan. And he waited for fifteen minutes. He
- 15:15Speaker 3: didn't see Michael. So he asked the guys that I
- 15:17Speaker 3: heard Michael Jordan comes trains here and I wanted to
- 15:21Speaker 3: come early with my son, Like you know, do you
- 15:22Speaker 3: know what time he'll be coming?
- 15:24Speaker 4: He said, he left. He was here for three hours
- 15:28Speaker 4: and he left.
- 15:29Speaker 3: This is the level of discipline, dedication, determination, and unbalanced.
- 15:34Speaker 3: When I saw Floyd Mayweather running at twelve o'clock at night,
- 15:37Speaker 3: this isoud not balanced, It's not normal.
- 15:40Speaker 4: Yep.
- 15:40Speaker 3: So this is what I'm saying, Like, this is a
- 15:42Speaker 3: certain this is a real conversation that we got to
- 15:45Speaker 3: have because people have false expectations of success. Oh I'm
- 15:50Speaker 3: just gonna work the weekends and i'mna be successful. Oh
- 15:53Speaker 3: I'm gonna take this or I want to I want
- 15:54Speaker 3: to have balance. I want to go to every single
- 15:57Speaker 3: concert I can. I want to play every single video
- 15:59Speaker 3: game I can't because life is about balance. Okay, well,
- 16:02Speaker 3: you're not going to be successful, and that's okay, but
- 16:04Speaker 3: don't expect to reach the highest levels of success and
- 16:07Speaker 3: not be unbalanced. You got to be an extremely unbalanced
- 16:12Speaker 3: person to reach this level of success. You think that
- 16:15Speaker 3: Elon Musk got this from being balanced, but Mark Zuckerberg
- 16:19Speaker 3: got this from being balanced, or Jay z got that
- 16:21Speaker 3: level from being balanced.
- 16:23Speaker 4: Like this.
- 16:24Speaker 3: This is the harsh reality. This is the harsh reality
- 16:28Speaker 3: of business and entrepreneurship. It's not fun. Like you got
- 16:30Speaker 3: to be out of your mind to want.
- 16:32Speaker 4: To work all the time.
- 16:34Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't be a normal person, can't be like
- 16:38Speaker 3: your brain, can't be normal to never want to stop working.
- 16:42Speaker 4: This is why there's very few people that have ever
- 16:45Speaker 4: achieved that level of success.
- 16:48Speaker 5: And for everyone who says I'm a work smart, all
- 16:52Speaker 5: the smartest people on are Sam Autman of open Ai,
- 16:55Speaker 5: Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Neil Tyson, Needo Grass, Tyson, Charlotte Man.
- 17:01Speaker 5: Everybody's up at three, four, five, and six o'clock in
- 17:05Speaker 5: the morning getting seven days a week with automation. Do
- 17:10Speaker 5: you notice every billionaire that you got and I love
- 17:12Speaker 5: Tim Ferris Deely. You notice every billionaire that we've ever
- 17:16Speaker 5: talked to, no one's ever mentioned before hour work week.
- 17:19Speaker 5: They would have bought every company associated in that book
- 17:22Speaker 5: to free up all the time.
- 17:23Speaker 4: It's not possible.
- 17:26Speaker 6: I know he's going up to tomorrow. They took a HQ.
- 17:29Speaker 6: Zuckerberg being at four o'clock in the morning.
- 17:32Speaker 5: He's mega rich, so much so him and his wife said, hey, man,
- 17:36Speaker 5: let's let's put a database for all the diseases together.
- 17:41Speaker 3: And even if people get that, make it look cool.
- 17:43Speaker 3: You know who everybody? I heard this from a variety
- 17:46Speaker 3: of different people. The hardest working person in music Future
- 17:52Speaker 3: you said, the future doesn't stop working. This is somebody
- 17:54Speaker 3: who you probably wouldn't think. You look at Future, You're
- 17:57Speaker 3: not thinking that he's a workaholic. Like they said, did
- 17:59Speaker 3: guy stay in the studio for ten hours non birthday?
- 18:04Speaker 4: Yep, Lil Wayne.
- 18:07Speaker 3: Another one, this guy was staying in the studio since
- 18:09Speaker 3: he was twelve years old, had had no life like
- 18:12Speaker 3: literally in the studio every single night. These are the
- 18:15Speaker 3: things you not. You wouldn't expect these type of people
- 18:18Speaker 3: to have that level of work ethic, but once again,
- 18:20Speaker 3: they don't. Nobody reaches this level of success by accident.
- 18:24Speaker 3: Doesn't happen, Really doesn't, it doesn't. That's what I want
- 18:28Speaker 3: everybody to understand. So it's like the pushback of Joe,
- 18:31Speaker 3: we got to have a balanced life is you are
- 18:37Speaker 3: perpetrating ideas that have never been said by anybody at
- 18:42Speaker 3: the level you never heard. Like you said, I read
- 18:45Speaker 3: Steve Jobs book.
- 18:47Speaker 4: This guy wasn't even that'd be to his own kid.
- 18:50Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not advocating for that, but I'm just
- 18:52Speaker 3: saying I've never I read a lot of these autobiographies
- 18:55Speaker 3: Ted Turner, I've never heard any person at that level
- 18:58Speaker 3: of success that's that they got there by working five
- 19:01Speaker 3: hours a day.
- 19:02Speaker 2: That does not work.
- 19:03Speaker 4: And I haven't heard it yet, just haven't heard it.
- 19:07Speaker 2: I wish it did, it does.
- 19:08Speaker 4: It doesn't work on any level.
- 19:10Speaker 5: I wish you well, I wish you were in order
- 19:14Speaker 5: to get to the freedom you want, got to be
- 19:16Speaker 5: in balanced for a few years.
- 19:19Speaker 7: Yeah, I was gonna touch on the Magic thing because
- 19:21Speaker 7: I had this conversation after we heard him speak, and
- 19:24Speaker 7: it goes it kind of goes into that theory of
- 19:26Speaker 7: like why do we keep putting a cap on how
- 19:28Speaker 7: successful are the elite in our community?
- 19:32Speaker 4: Are? So?
- 19:32Speaker 7: Like Magic has been at the five hundred six hundred
- 19:34Speaker 7: million dollar mark for the past five to ten years,
- 19:37Speaker 7: and all he's done is added more acquisitions to his portfolio,
- 19:40Speaker 7: whether it was the Quardia, whether it was now with
- 19:42Speaker 7: the Washington Commanders.
- 19:44Speaker 4: Yeah, Magic has to be a a billionaire at this point, right.
- 19:51Speaker 7: He's acquired ownership in the I don't care if he
- 19:54Speaker 7: has one percent, He's acquired ownership in the Dodgers, he
- 19:57Speaker 7: has the MLS teams, I mean, and there's things that
- 20:01Speaker 7: we don't even know about that he's working on. To
- 20:03Speaker 7: say that he's been at the same spot. He's the
- 20:06Speaker 7: largest owner of Starbucks outside of Starbucks, he has one hundred.
- 20:11Speaker 4: But then he also keeps going. That's not he's not stopping.
- 20:14Speaker 3: I put a clip up from Rich Paul today and
- 20:16Speaker 3: that's the last thing I'll say about this. And like
- 20:18Speaker 3: I said, I routinely still sleep on the couch either
- 20:22Speaker 3: my parents' place or I stop on couch in my
- 20:25Speaker 3: own place.
- 20:26Speaker 4: You need it.
- 20:28Speaker 3: I never want to get comfortable. You never you never
- 20:32Speaker 3: make it. You never make it because there's always a
- 20:36Speaker 3: different level to go to. And it's like once you
- 20:38Speaker 3: start to feel comfortable, you start to be complacent, and
- 20:43Speaker 3: once you get complacent, things start to fall. This is
- 20:47Speaker 3: how empires fall. Empire is Paul, because what now, I say,
- 20:52Speaker 3: Kings get dethrowned because of their negligence. Once you start
- 20:55Speaker 3: to feel like you made it and you could just
- 20:57Speaker 3: go on a holiday every single week and you can
- 20:59Speaker 3: sleep in and you got such a nice mattress, they said,
- 21:06Speaker 3: hard times hard time I forget. Hard times lead to
- 21:09Speaker 3: great men. Soft times lead to soft like. It's not
- 21:13Speaker 3: meant you have to keep that edge. Everybody keeps edged differently.
- 21:18Speaker 3: But I just want to just encourage that to entrepreneurs.
- 21:20Speaker 3: When you get to the point where you can buy
- 21:22Speaker 3: a rolex, when you get to the point where you
- 21:24Speaker 3: can have a luxury car, don't let your foot off
- 21:27Speaker 3: the gas. Once you let your foot off the gas,
- 21:30Speaker 3: you might you might not get an opportunity again.
- 21:33Speaker 4: Again, it's a step step. Ma already said that.
- 21:37Speaker 7: He's like, it's the second that I'm not working on
- 21:39Speaker 7: my craft, somebody is watching me and trying to take
- 21:44Speaker 7: my spot. So you got to wake up with that
- 21:47Speaker 7: right every day that I'm not working, somebody else is
- 21:50Speaker 7: because that's it's the truth. Somebody right now is watching
- 21:53Speaker 7: I can I can do this better than them. In fact,
- 21:57Speaker 7: they did it first here. That's how I can make
- 21:58Speaker 7: it better. Right, That is the mentality of the people
- 22:01Speaker 7: that are watching you. So you have to wake up
- 22:04Speaker 7: with that type of mindset with if I'm not working,
- 22:06Speaker 7: somebody's trying to get better.
- 22:07Speaker 4: I got to get better.
- 22:08Speaker 5: I got roppit margin on everybody copying and not going
- 22:11Speaker 5: that world though, well, we know.
- 22:12Speaker 7: That, but I get better.
- 22:17Speaker 4: How do I get better today?
- 22:18Speaker 5: Right?
- 22:18Speaker 4: Like I used to.
- 22:20Speaker 7: Hell, we used to wake up every day. I would
- 22:23Speaker 7: walking to school and like, good morning, Today's gonna be
- 22:26Speaker 7: a great day. How do you know, because we have
- 22:27Speaker 7: the opportunity to be better than we were yesterday. Yeah,
- 22:30Speaker 7: that's how I know we're here. Oh your what we
- 22:34Speaker 7: should be.
- 22:36Speaker 6: We're alive.
- 22:38Speaker 4: We got a chance.
- 22:39Speaker 6: Yeah, like even with this show like that Rustling.
- 22:43Speaker 5: So for my granddad, I remember my granddad was like, hey,
- 22:46Speaker 5: you get to play on a computer and make money
- 22:48Speaker 5: like I worked in a factory.
- 22:50Speaker 6: You have no bad days as a black person.
- 22:52Speaker 5: Black people couldn't talk in nineteen fifty, So we get
- 22:55Speaker 5: to talk and be on a computer inside of our
- 22:58Speaker 5: house like we had. Like you said, we have to
- 22:59Speaker 5: go create harsh environments to keep that edge. But like
- 23:03Speaker 5: you said, a lot of times, when people get comfortable,
- 23:06Speaker 5: and we saw with Meta last year, you can see
- 23:08Speaker 5: the fervor and excitement that he has and he's pouring
- 23:11Speaker 5: that back into the products. For all of my entrepreneurs,
- 23:13Speaker 5: all of my creatives, find your edge in your market.
- 23:16Speaker 5: For me, reading second book, my baby was reading this
- 23:21Speaker 5: book last night, so Xander did is a book. Report
- 23:23Speaker 5: on this book Bold by Pio d. A. Mandis third

- 23:35Speaker 6: What?

- 23:39Speaker 5: Yes, kudos to all of those that I gotta go
- 23:42Speaker 5: to Mexico.
- 23:42Speaker 6: So shout to all of them, thank you for letting.

- 24:03Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
- 24:08Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 24:12Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
