0:00
[SPEAKER_00]: The founders of motion and success share their journey to motion and success.
0:05
[SPEAKER_01]: The whole story I was giving, that's when I realized I don't really care about you, but I realized that we're just employees with an employee number.
0:11
[SPEAKER_00]: While one fought for survival on hospital floors.
0:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So my whole perspective on nursing and all these things change, like I started realizing I needed to become my own voice.
0:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I was learning as a nurse and then three months later when it's over, like my orientation literally just wrapped up.
0:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
0:27
[SPEAKER_01]: COVID hit.
0:28
[SPEAKER_00]: The other walked away from FedEx with nothing but a dream.
0:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I left my job at FedEx in July 2022, and I went out and grew up in a six-figure business, and then quickly realized that things weren't working out for me after a certain amount of time.
0:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And when the dream failed, pride took a back seat to survival.
0:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was just desperately trying to get rich, y'all.
0:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, really, really trying to get rich fast.
0:54
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I realized along the way is like, in order to really get rich and stay rich, you need systems in place.
0:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Until they discovered something.
1:01
[SPEAKER_01]: But I learned that Yoda's thing is actually harder than it is, so you have to really do it more often.
1:05
[SPEAKER_01]: While I met him at Circle of C.E.O.s in Atlanta, Fast Forward, and at Vesfest, we had randomly ran into each other.
1:11
[SPEAKER_00]: A chance meeting, a shared vision, and everything changed from FedEx warehouses and hospital floors to over 300,000 followers.
1:22
[SPEAKER_00]: This is motionless success.
1:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure plenty people probably watching this whatever it may be You know, just know that that's not your final destination and that things can easily change It just requires you making that one decision that one decision to go all in on something that can transform your life Welcome back to another episode of motionless success.
1:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Listen guys.
1:42
[SPEAKER_02]: My name is Cody Brown and I got my co-host with me today
1:45
[SPEAKER_01]: It's IO and look, yeah, we come in packed with another great episode as you guys could see.
1:51
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just me and Cody.
1:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And listen, we bought the jump really, really into a lot of game, but more so into our stories.
1:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Because a lot of you guys have been following us for a while.
2:01
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of you guys probably like, yeah, what did these guys do before?
2:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Before podcast and before we grew to over 300K subscribers, 300K followers and supporters all over the world.
2:13
[SPEAKER_01]: What were we doing before?
2:14
[SPEAKER_01]: How do we even get to this point?
2:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Right?
2:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's really, it's best that we share our story so you guys could understand us a little bit more.
2:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
2:23
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of you guys probably might not know who we are, you probably might not care too much, but I think it's very important that we share, you know, who we are, what we do and, you know, everything that led up to the success that we have today.
2:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Because a lot of times it's the things that we're teaching and the things that we're talking about, it's things that we basically earned.
2:42
[SPEAKER_02]: You get what I mean, like, we really earn the right to teach somebody how to go out and start a podcast, we really earn.
2:49
[SPEAKER_02]: right to show somebody how to go out and market their business.
2:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Why?
2:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Because people come out to our studio to come and talk about theirs.
2:57
[SPEAKER_02]: We literally learn, we literally earned everything that we have when it comes to sharing information.
3:05
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I think a lot of times is, we probably might get straight into story type.
3:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we might get straight into strategy
3:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes you've really got to know about like how did things really form?
3:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You get what I mean?
3:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Because some people may say, hey listen, you guys have a lot of success online, and you guys are doing your thing, but did it really start there?
3:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Can I do it for myself?
3:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Is this something that's attainable for me?
3:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Is this able to be duplicated in my industry or my lane of expertise?
3:39
[SPEAKER_02]: So sharing our stories is a little bit like it just helps.
3:42
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you understand the tactics, because a lot of times it's especially when it comes to coaching.
3:48
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not really more in the phase of, it's not always, hey, listen, here's exactly how to do step A, B, C, and D. Sometimes people need to hear stories to hear that they can connect with a person.
4:04
[SPEAKER_02]: they have to be a little bit more relatable for a person, you know, and that's just how, unfortunately, sometimes that's how things go, you know, versus, you know, how we would like it to go.
4:13
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, stories are definitely important for sure.
4:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree, man, and the thing is that, and the reality is, it's like, most of us, to even get to where we are today, whether you're not successful, whether you are successful, a lot of the things led up to what you did in the past, and most of the times it's like,
4:32
[SPEAKER_01]: We all go through things and a lot of times they even make or break you, right?
4:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um, even leading up to this point, before we can even sit behind the cameras, it's a lot of decisions in the past that we may that let us to even get to this point.
4:46
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
4:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, Cody had his path, I had my path, but you know, realizing that
4:54
[SPEAKER_01]: everything, all the decisions that we made led up to where we are now, that's like the real most important thing.
5:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're just going to give you guys a little bit of a backstory.
5:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure plenty of people probably watching this, whether you're in your mom's basement, whether you're in your car, whatever it may be, you know, just know that that's not your final destination and that things can easily change.
5:15
[SPEAKER_01]: It just requires you making that one decision.
5:18
[SPEAKER_01]: that one decision to go all in on something that can transform your life, that's when, you know, you get to that point where you can turn up and you can really change the whole course and trajectory of the direction that you're going in life.
5:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to jump straight into it, man.
5:32
[SPEAKER_02]: So tell the people who is I, your man, you know, you know, what are you all about, man?
5:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Like tell the people around.
5:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I mean, as you guys know, you know, I'm based in, you know, New York grew up in, uh, like East New York around like Karnarshi area.
5:48
[SPEAKER_01]: If you guys don't know, that's probably like the East Side of Brooklyn, uh, I mean, dropping all the decent.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
5:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
5:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
5:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So pretty much, you know, Brooklyn is a little bit different from most places.
6:00
[SPEAKER_01]: We got our own style.
6:00
[SPEAKER_01]: We got our own swag, um, and then also being a first generation, um,
6:08
[SPEAKER_01]: First generation of immigrant parents coming from Africa, you know, I had a whole different perspective compared to, you know, other African Americans, you could say, but you know growing up, you know,
6:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So basically, you was African before it was cool to be African when people were like, yeah, they said, great, yo, he just broke it down.
6:31
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the exact, that's basically what it is.
6:33
[SPEAKER_01]: So back then, you know, being African, it wasn't cool.
6:37
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, although I was African-American, but I was definitely like first generation, so I had more sort of the African culture than, you know, being American.
6:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, it was not cool being African, man.
6:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, like, have African prints a little bit different
6:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Their view on life and of the world is different compared to the regular black African Americans in America.
7:02
[SPEAKER_01]: They were walking to school.
7:05
[SPEAKER_01]: They only had one pair of sandals.
7:07
[SPEAKER_01]: They couldn't fathom buying Jordans for $200.
7:11
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm talking about like,
7:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Like my parents, you know, they're not rich enough, but definitely like they were well to do, you know, they had good jobs and things like that, but they just could not.
7:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Anytime, you know, I was younger, I wanted a new jays, I wanted this, I wanted that, could not get it.
7:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Like even if they, oh, they could be up.
7:31
[SPEAKER_01]: a million dollars they cannot fathom buying sneakers for $200.
7:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um, you know, that's going to come with a little bit of backlash growing up in public schools in New York.
7:42
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we had to go had to go to the motel section.
7:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you ever heard about the motel section, motels.
7:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, motels.
7:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
7:49
[SPEAKER_01]: They had like sections where they had like shoes for basically $45.
7:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And like these shoes there.
7:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to pull them through like the whole entire school year, you know what I mean?
7:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So, that's just what it was, you know, coming from that, coming from that type of family, but at the same time, although I was a little upset, like, damn, I can't get the new jays.
8:12
[SPEAKER_01]: As a adult now, I'm kind of glad I didn't get it, because
8:17
[SPEAKER_01]: It made me realize like, you know, I had to really earn things that I wanted in life like I really had to earn so that motivated me to what get a job right I motivated me to not rely on anyone so yeah so growing up, you know, definitely was bullied didn't have the latest sneakers.
8:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Also being African being of a darker complexion back then you're all people will make fun of you Which is crazy cuz the light skin African Americans will make make fun of the darks in African Americans and it was just it it was just a mess You're like it was just a mess So yeah that definitely you know confidence did take a hate
8:57
[SPEAKER_01]: like imagine you growing up young kid discovering the world then boom you realize like you're you're African you're you're dark skin and because of that like you're so cool beneath other people in a way so they just
9:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we were saying New York and yeah, I knew like all that stuff.
9:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So killed it killed the confidence.
9:19
[SPEAKER_01]: So confidence came out of came out of middle school confidence was killed.
9:24
[SPEAKER_01]: We're covered it back in high school once being dark scene was cool because all of a sudden now.
9:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I literally, I think around the 2016-2017 mark becoming Darcyn was now a trend, right?
9:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Now was like, I get to high school and all of a sudden, all these girls, they want, they want, they want, they don't want the Chris Browns no more, they want Darcyn guys.
9:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So now the Lyskin guys was taking a back seat.
9:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's just a whole bunch of changes, but my confidence was already killed back then.
9:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
9:54
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it took a while to just get it back up, but yeah, fast forward.
9:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I was pushing to like the medical direction.
10:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I went to Like a medical high school where they got medical professions and things like that.
10:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So family everybody's pretty much in a medical profession.
10:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was already like that lane was already designed for me like early on.
10:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah
10:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was cool, you know, I didn't want, I always wanted to do something in tech.
10:18
[SPEAKER_01]: That was like, that's what it was for me.
10:20
[SPEAKER_01]: But when I did get to college, I was like super indecisive.
10:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And at that point, I just was like, yo, let me just follow the path that they telling me to go on because at the same time, like, yo, I ain't paying for my school, you know.
10:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Family's paying for it.
10:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm like, yo, let me not just waste money and switch majors and just start jumping around and never get anything done.
10:40
[SPEAKER_01]: So ended up doing that.
10:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And then what's crazy is that went to graduated high school like about 2016 and then jumped into college.
10:54
[SPEAKER_01]: When straight into the nursing major, well not directly straight did like a year pre-rex, I jumped into the nursing school around like I would say I was probably like 18 going on 19 Um, started nursing school and it was like a whole different like that was another challenge for me too because now I'm the youngest in the class Mm-hmm around a bunch of older people
11:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So a lot of miserable, like all the professors would intentionally like try to pick on me, just to get me to get out the program.
11:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So I, one, she was just like, all me, like, just little things, like, she wanted me to see the dirty side of nursing where, you know, you got a clean patience and stuff.
11:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And then she's like, you all right, like, making sure I'm good, just to just kind of like, get into my skin and just to make me want to be like, yo, I ain't doing this no more.
11:42
[SPEAKER_01]: But I, I, I dug the through because it was just for a semester like you literally had her for a semester, so then fast forward was able to graduate nursing school at 20.
11:52
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was, that was, that was actually crazy because.
11:57
[SPEAKER_01]: a bunch of older people who, you know, we started together.
11:59
[SPEAKER_01]: You see people phased out, people getting kicked out the program and, you know, thank God I was able to still pull it through.
12:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So a lot of people too, like, till now, they're like, yo, damn.
12:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, yo, you really, you really, like, you accomplished that.
12:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was cool and then transitioned over, got my first job around, like, but I was like, 21.
12:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, I just turned 21 and then,
12:26
[SPEAKER_01]: that is when things kind of like really, really changed.
12:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was like, of course, you know, nursing back then is like a beginning six figure job.
12:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So no bills didn't have a car.
12:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I was so used to living on, you know, living like a kind of a low radar type of lifestyle.
12:45
[SPEAKER_01]: So I didn't really like go out start really splurging the nursing bread like I really like stacked.
12:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, because I was living the same way I was, like, nursing ain't really changed me early on.
12:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Did not, did not order food.
13:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I was taking, I was even taking Uber's bro, taking trains, MTA.
13:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Living like a regular lifestyle.
13:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I was even afraid to even spend money on some real stuff.
13:12
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, of course, the lifestyle is gonna catch up to you.
13:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So then I realized, I realized going out and I realized something.
13:19
[SPEAKER_01]: So, started spending a little bit more money,
13:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm doing my orientation at the time as a new nurse because you got to do about 2-3 months of orientation and this is in December of 2019.
13:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So my three months ended in 2020 of March and that's literally when COVID hit Brooklyn, when COVID hit New York.
13:41
[SPEAKER_02]: So three months later, three months after you graduate is when three months after graduating nursing school is when
13:50
[SPEAKER_01]: No, so I finished nursing school about that July.
13:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
13:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I got my first job like around September and, well, I got accepted in September, but I started orientation in December.
14:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so like a month later?
14:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so like a month later.
14:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So December is when I started, like, I was learning as a nurse and then three months later when it's over.
14:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, my orientation literally just wrapped up.
14:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
14:13
[SPEAKER_01]: COVID hate.
14:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So, all the things I learned as a new nurse, it didn't, it didn't translate into COVID pandemic times, because guess what?
14:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Around this time, people weren't coming to work.
14:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Very hard to get people to come to work because people all of a sudden started being diagnosed with COVID, and people was afraid for their family, so a lot of people were not coming to work.
14:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a new nurse, so I couldn't even call out.
14:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So, as soon as I got off, it was me and another nurse,
14:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And she only had three years experience and they had us taking care of 20 patients, 20 sick patients during COVID and I'll say like out of the 20 like 11 or 12 of them had COVID was a full house so you was you had the hazmat suits.
15:00
[SPEAKER_01]: No, honestly, bro, during that time, people were stealing N95s.
15:05
[SPEAKER_01]: They were stealing basically PPE equipment, so we literally had to wear like garbage bags, garbage bags, we had garbage bags, and literally had to improvise and think of another way to protect ourselves.
15:19
[SPEAKER_01]: So sometimes it would be wearing two two simple face mask, which you know clearly that wasn't effective or sometimes even walking in without a mask.
15:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But the thing that we were trying to do was trying to limit our time of exposure around people who had COVID.
15:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not going a lot.
15:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going through like a phase where during this time I couldn't go out So although I had money, you know, I'm a nurse school.
15:43
[SPEAKER_01]: It's lit.
15:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Can not go out everywhere.
15:46
[SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty much close.
15:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Like literally even time squared back then was just empty.
15:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Like everything was pretty much So you couldn't hang out and then I remember two like fam.
15:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Even some of my family members were actually home.
15:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of them were out with COVID or some of them, you know, they just were kind of like
16:04
[SPEAKER_01]: running away from it.
16:05
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was forced.
16:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to go to work every night.
16:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, not every night.
16:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, three, three days out of three days out of the week.
16:12
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was just always like torture, bro.
16:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
16:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Because every time we came, it was either one nurse on the floor or two nurses covering 20 patients, a night.
16:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And you just didn't know which one of these patients were going to die.
16:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I even had a
16:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Basically what we did, we just closed the door because you can't lead a door on patients who you can't leave it open because they got COVID So what we were doing, he was just so confused.
16:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I called the doctor.
16:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, yo, he's not eating nothing He's not drinking nothing You know, he's not even taking his medications for COVID.
16:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, yo, what is there to do?
16:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And back then the doctors that were taking care of COVID patients We're like specialty doctors, so we'll be like orthopedics.
16:55
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't know nothing really about medicine
16:57
[SPEAKER_02]: about taking care of pathology.
16:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
17:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So some of them they didn't even want to come downstairs.
17:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was basically sort of left to the nurses.
17:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And I remember just seeing that guy on my, I don't know if he gonna make it to the next day.
17:08
[SPEAKER_01]: My shift was over.
17:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Soon as the shift over, went inside, checked on him, checked his vitals.
17:13
[SPEAKER_01]: He was he was still alive, but he looked like he was just dehydrated.
17:17
[SPEAKER_01]: doctor didn't like doctor didn't start no fluids you know all that stuff he didn't have an ivy mind he was just confused like really confused beyond confused um and clearly should not even have been on our floor but over here the hospital is in such bad times i'm a new nurse at this time so my skills weren't even like
17:35
[SPEAKER_01]: weren't even all that up there and and it was just crazy times bro so fast forward it's just you know I ended up catching COVID at work yeah which is crazy bro yeah literally called covid at work of course I came to work bro good like literally came to work
17:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I was good.
17:52
[SPEAKER_01]: All of a sudden one like I think about 12 or 1 a.m.
17:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I Start getting a really really bad headache and this is not a regular headache.
18:01
[SPEAKER_01]: This is like a headache you get that.
18:02
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't really do nothing like I don't know what it was It was just a weird feeling like I remember just putting my head down and waking up to I was later I'm still that work and I had a whole bunch of medications.
18:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even give you that and I'm like
18:16
[SPEAKER_01]: fuck I gave all that stuff because I was just out of it told my supervisor I'm like yo I might have to go home she's like yo we don't have anybody um she was like if it really gets bad just go to the E.D.
18:26
[SPEAKER_01]: so she's like begging me to stay even in my current situation current condition
18:33
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
18:33
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to stay next minute.
18:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I pulled through the shift.
18:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I took like tiny balls like extra strength took them.
18:40
[SPEAKER_01]: That kind of helped the headache go away, but as soon as I got back home, it came right back and even got worse.
18:45
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm like, you're what's going on?
18:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Did a COVID test?
18:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Tested positive for COVID.
18:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So now I was out as an even nurse for about about I said about two weeks.
18:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It's back then I think it was two weeks you had to be on isolation.
18:57
[SPEAKER_02]: So fast forward, you know, out of the COVID era, you know, God want to tie, I want us to tie in our story into, you know, what we've got going on and where we're at today, fast forward from from from the COVID here, like, how did things look for you moving forward?
19:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, did you try any investment?
19:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, bro.
19:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So so I honestly, bro, like, like, the whole story I was given.
19:21
[SPEAKER_01]: That's when I realized, like, they don't really care about you, bro.
19:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
19:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I realized, like, we're just employees with an employee number.
19:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So my whole perspective on nursing and all these things change, bro.
19:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I started realizing, like, I need to become my own boss.
19:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is when the entrepreneur journey started.
19:39

20:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Go ahead and click the link down below, and I'm going to see you guys in that next masterclass.
20:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So, first thing I did, I started like, that was about a few months after, I'll say,
20:58
[SPEAKER_01]: end of 2020 like probably like the like July of 2020.
21:04
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um, that's when I was like, yo, I'm out here.
21:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, yo, figure things out.
21:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Figure something out, bro, because I already made my decision.
21:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, yo, I don't see myself climbing the ladder in this, in nursing feel.
21:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I was like, yo, I needed to become my own boss and, and I just hate to come in a work with anxiety.
21:23
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just not a fun, it's not a fun thing when you come in a work with
21:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I made that decision on my started looking up.
21:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I started following, you know, when you make a decision to change your life, you have to change what you see on social media.
21:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's when I started following the right people started following like leaders in the fields like a couple entrepreneurs from.
21:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Atlanta like Neo at this point I was following a lot of I like a lot of Atlanta entrepreneurs was following like different authors like Brian Tracy so it was just it was just a might that whole month it took me literally before even making my first move to go to the conference that I'm going to talk to about later
22:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I was getting my mindset right because I'm like, yo, I'm programmed the wrong way.
22:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to change this shit, like ASAP.
22:08
[SPEAKER_01]: So I stacked up on a whole bunch of books, rich that poor that, thinking world rich, Brian Tracy, just do it.
22:17
[SPEAKER_01]: a whole bunch, I can't even tell you guys a whole list, but my mindset just needed a whole change, because if not, I wasn't getting nothing done.
22:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So a lot of times before you even jump into something, you got to change your mindset.
22:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's so crazy, because it's like a lot of people don't realize how important having a mindset is to to accomplishing your goals.
22:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, the next three, four months was just reading, listening to podcasts, I was investing in different programs like mindset programs trying to get my mind right.
22:47
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and things like that, and then that's when I made a decision and I saw a conference happening in Atlanta.
22:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, yo, I got to be there.
22:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, yo, I have to be there.
23:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So ended up going to the conference in Atlanta.
23:04
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the circle of CEOs, Neo, Hempfah, hunted in the rest of the crew.
23:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, just was out.
23:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Just was like, you know, I need to be in a different environment.
23:14
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, growing, being in New York my whole life.
23:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm stepping out of New York for like, probably like the first time, you know, wild.
23:21
[SPEAKER_01]: and I'm going to cover as well, I don't know anybody.
23:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So by yourself, at that point, so I'm like, now I just need to go get around like minded people.
23:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I later did some investment.
23:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I was day trading, you know, because now I had like disposable income, you know, being a nurse, I'm like, yo, I know day trading, you want to take some else.
23:45
[SPEAKER_01]: to loss, I made money, lost money, did NFTs, where you would literally like trade in like pictures and like non-fungible tokens and things.
23:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I made a lot of money on that and I really understood.
24:00
[SPEAKER_01]: That really, that really was like me, desperately trying to get rich.
24:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got a lot of bro.
24:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I used to always look at the uh, the 2010s in live bro.
24:09
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just never makes sense to me, bro.
24:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I, it never makes sense.
24:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, just, and I, I'll be on.
24:15
[SPEAKER_02]: So I still think up to now.
24:18
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't make sense to bro.
24:21
[SPEAKER_02]: People used to be like, yo, I'd be like, yo, what's that NFT?
24:23
[SPEAKER_02]: They would be like, all right, cool.
24:25
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a non-fungible token.
24:27
[SPEAKER_02]: That's almost like a slap in the face.
24:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, like, obviously, I actually, because I don't know.
24:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I even tell me what is non-fundrable to, all right, what is it, non-fundrable to okay?
24:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it was a lot of money pouring into that thing from like 2021 to 2020.
24:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I see, 2022.
24:43
[SPEAKER_01]: It had a crazy wave, made a lot of money.
24:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Most I made was, I made about $13,000 in like three days.
24:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, that was crazy because that whole entire month along with my nursing job all together.
24:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I put in $20,000 in that month And it's just I was like whoa, I just made $20,000 in a month as a 21 year old Well, going on 22
25:11
[SPEAKER_01]: and I'm like, now, what is this?
25:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Ended up gambling in all the way, lost money like that.
25:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
25:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was just desperately trying to get rich, y'all.
25:18
[SPEAKER_01]: That's really, really trying to get rich fast, but what I realized along the way is like, yo, in order to really get rich and stay rich, you need systems in place.
25:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you need to get rich the right way, because even if you're getting rich fast, you're gonna lose it all, you know?
25:34
[SPEAKER_02]: So now, out of your whole story that you've went through, all the other things you went through
25:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Why do you decide to start a podcast, you know, like a lot of times is people say, hey, pie casting, it doesn't make any money, that's not a, that's not some of you want to waste your time with, you know, why do you decide to start a podcast from becoming a nurse, you know, from being a nurse, going through the COVID era, investing into NFTs, making money, losing money, why do you decide to start a podcast?
26:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly speaking, Roe, I'm pretty sure you probably even seen some of my stuff.
26:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I was trying to, at one point, after investing, after NFTs, I wanted to jump into the content creation space, you know, so at this point, I had money to just blow.
26:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So I remember me, like, I just was like, yo, I'm going to just go to my end before we can buy myself.
26:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I was just risk taking at this point, like I didn't care anymore.
26:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I just like you, I just need to go out, being a new environment, I went to Miami.
26:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I probably show you how few clips, but when I did public interviews out there, went to London.
26:42
[SPEAKER_01]: How many ifs?
26:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
26:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Bro.
26:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly speaking, bro, it'd be surprise, bro.
26:51
[SPEAKER_01]: content creating and all that interview stuff on the random fly is not easy, but like I left I left Miami.
26:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I still had a pretty good time, but I left Miami with like I probably got like two done solid too But but I laughed you know If you were asked me to when I came and they're like, how much you got done?
27:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, you're telling me that I too
27:11
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, yo, I still remember myself standing on South Beach like trying to get into you, doing people just walking by you, people is not acknowledging you, so people like yo, I don't do interviews, so you realize how hard it is, it is.
27:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, so now the more important question is, why did you give up?
27:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Cause now fast forward later.
27:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
27:28
[SPEAKER_02]: You do it in a few minutes.
27:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Every month.
27:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, effects.
27:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I just think, bro, I just always be thinking about the end.
27:34
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
27:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I realized a lot of things take a lot of reps and just being consistent with it.
27:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So even me traveling going to different countries going to different states and trying to get any of you done.
27:46
[SPEAKER_01]: The end of you is done and not being able to get anything done.
27:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, probably getting one or two done.
27:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I learned a lot from the one or two.
27:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I just know I learned that yo this thing is actually harder than it is.
27:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have to really do it more often.
27:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
27:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So Later on jumping into podcasts, you know me and Cody like we said the story every time when we did a weekend.
28:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I met him at Circle of Seas in Atlanta, fast forward, and in Vest Fest, we had randomly ran into each other.
28:14
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, we ended up being an environment where it's not like Miami or it's not like London, open space where it's just random people.
28:23
[SPEAKER_01]: You're an environment where it's straight entrepreneurs.
28:25
[SPEAKER_01]: So the more the, like you heard that you're going to get a yes for it, interview is way higher
28:35
[SPEAKER_01]: In whatever country or whatever state you're in trying to try to get content.
28:38
[SPEAKER_01]: So it definitely made it more easier and then I remember Cody just pressing like yo, I want to start a podcast And I'm like I've already somebody you're podcast like well, we can just stick to the interviews But Cody's like now I rather a podcast You know, because I think you mentioned something about it helping the business Yeah, help me at being medium and then even possibly helping your business at the time
28:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So then I kind of seen the picture of it.
29:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, you know, that actually makes a lot more sense.
29:03
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and then that's when we ended up jumping into podcasts.
29:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And as you guys know, the rest is pretty much history.
29:10
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's the reason why that's my journey on to how I got to where we where we are now.
29:16
[SPEAKER_01]: But you kind of see how if you put everything together.
29:19
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a wild journey, but, you know, I got told you your final, I mean, your destination right now is not your final destination.
29:26
[SPEAKER_01]: You literally have to go through things to get to where you want to get to.
29:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely, man.
29:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, bro.
29:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So definitely want to hit your side, bro, because I'm pretty sure, bro.
29:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, you definitely got a very interesting backstory as well, bro.
29:40
[SPEAKER_01]: So just let me know again, bro.
29:42
[SPEAKER_02]: So honestly, everything that I talk about is really not,
29:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Like earned like like literally had to go through the blows literally going through the the ups the downs the The you know the treacherous times the beautiful times yeah, and honestly and truly like You know, I'm you know, I never really get the chance I don't know if you ever been on a webinar or been in a presentation where a lot of people always have the craziest sob story
30:09
[SPEAKER_02]: whether they had, you know, they went to prison for a long time.
30:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they had a single dad or, I mean, a single mom, they're the one their parents is on drugs.
30:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't have that story, right?
30:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I just never really had that story.
30:22
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, I feel like sometimes when I share my story, I feel like people won't resonate, but a lot of times this, my story is very similar to a lot of people's story.
30:31
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, for me personally, I went out, I started a few businesses way before this, you know, I started off in the network market in space.
30:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was going to be a business that I'll be able to use to pop and take my family out, you know, out the hood.
30:45
[SPEAKER_02]: They were saying, you know what I mean?
30:46
[SPEAKER_02]: But honestly and truly I dedicated a lot of time to that.
30:50
[SPEAKER_02]: It didn't really amount to anything.
30:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait.
30:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So, bro, was it was it like the the forks, kind of cool rex?
30:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I am out.
30:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I went from company to company bro.
30:58
[SPEAKER_02]: And honestly and truly, I won't downplay it because
31:01
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it taught me a lot of things that I'm able to know right now and it made me meet people that I know right now because of the network marketing space, you know, so that was one of the things that I tried before.
31:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I also started out and I tried out, I started out with learning, I started off with trying to start a truck in business.
31:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I went out, I used to drive from New York to New Jersey every Thursday.
31:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And every Thursday, that was one of my ways on how you used to try to market my business and get seen by more people because what I realized is New York doesn't have any kind of truck stops.
31:40
[SPEAKER_02]: New Jersey has all the truck stops.
31:42
[SPEAKER_02]: So here's a marketing lesson.
31:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I was going to wear my people wear.
31:47
[SPEAKER_02]: You give it, I mean.
31:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So my former marketing was every Thursday, I would drive across the Verizano Bridge, go to New Jersey and hand out flyers and put flyers on every single truck because I was offering dishback services.
32:02
[SPEAKER_02]: So that never really amounted to anything.
32:05
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's almost another failure for a business.
32:09
[SPEAKER_02]: after that I'm like all right cool let me go ahead and see if I can buy a truck in the trailer because you know this market is shit when it comes to finding the price is not easy so I'm like you know what let me go out and see if I can finance a truck in the trailer a truck in the trailer costs about $75,000
32:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm 21 years old.
32:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have 75,000, you know what I mean, so from there I went out and I started learning more about credit learning more about finance and learning about funding and you know what I'm like, you know what I actually like this a little bit more
32:41
[SPEAKER_02]: In plus at the time, I ended up ruining my credit after the formula conference.
32:47
[SPEAKER_02]: So I went from a 700 credit score to about a 600 and then from there and just put me on that quest for about eight months to an exactly how to repeat my credit.
32:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I read books, I joined off three webinars, three workshops, paid workshops, everything.
33:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I was on live sessions for hours, Lersey just taking notes on how can I learn, how to fix my credit.
33:07
[SPEAKER_02]: And then from there, I fixed the credit eight months later.
33:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And I started a credit repair business.
33:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I started off with my friends and family.
33:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I partnered up with somebody else because one of the things that I realized, again, was marketing.
33:24
[SPEAKER_02]: marketing probably was one of the most hardest things for me to do.
33:27
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I used to go to the library from time to time.
33:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Great content.
33:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
33:31
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I used to be in the corner in the house.
33:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And when I used to be in the corner of my room and inside the house.
33:39
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was my way on how I was creating content.
33:42
[SPEAKER_02]: From there, I leveled it up.
33:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I went to a studio.
33:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I then talked in heads where I literally was stopped.
33:47
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was sitting on the camera and I'll read about 50 different episodes.
33:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, 50 different shorts and rills.
33:53
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was one of my ways of marketing.
33:55
[SPEAKER_02]: So I tried a lot of different ways when it come to marketing to grow my business, where it come to the network for me.
34:03
[SPEAKER_02]: You give it, I mean.
34:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And fast forward to now,
34:08
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I used podcasting.
34:10
[SPEAKER_02]: as one of the ways on how I'm able to market my business, right?
34:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Because a lot of times it is, a lot of business owners didn't rely on referrals.
34:18
[SPEAKER_02]: So that means that they're going out and saying, hey, listen, if you got to send me some clients and we'll be able to break bread.
34:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, what if they don't send you any clients for that month?
34:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
34:28
[SPEAKER_02]: You still have your bills.
34:29
[SPEAKER_02]: You still have your family.
34:30
[SPEAKER_02]: You still have other obligations that you have to worry about.
34:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Another way that a lot of people usually are going out here and doing is they're trying to pay for ads.
34:39
[SPEAKER_02]: at that time, I didn't have any money for ads.
34:42
[SPEAKER_02]: You get what I mean?
34:43
[SPEAKER_02]: So I couldn't use paint ads to grow my business.
34:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Another thing that a lot of people are saying is, hey, listen, go out and start creating content, just talk to the video, talk to the camera, just read out all the paint points, do a hook story offer and that's your content creation.
35:00
[SPEAKER_02]: But now what happens when that content doesn't hit?
35:03
[SPEAKER_02]: You've recorded 50 plus episodes when none of them hit, none of them turn into anything.
35:09
[SPEAKER_02]: So from there, I started realizing the value of pie casting, you know, so my journey has been from starting out with the network marketing to learning how to grow a business in.
35:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I was always lasted place, you know what I mean?
35:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I was always lasted place in a lot of stuff, you know, especially when it comes to business.
35:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I was always the last to level up in the marketing company.
35:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I was always last to, you know, it certainly goes.
35:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I was always last for everything.
35:36
[SPEAKER_02]: But what I realized is if you keep going and you keep showing up and you keep pushing and you keep learning, you're gonna start learning more things and then people around you now is gonna start looking at you as the expert
35:52
[SPEAKER_02]: We learned that paid as the work fee, you learned that DM the work fee, you learned that this don't work for you, let's try out something new, right?
36:00
[SPEAKER_02]: And for me, that new thing was podcasting, do you get what I mean?
36:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And another thing too, when it comes to the credit repair business, you know, that I realize, so here's my story on how I
36:16
[SPEAKER_02]: grown a six figure business and then next thing you know, I don't have a six figure business.
36:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you got to be.
36:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the biggest thing.
36:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
36:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So for me, I understood the operational side of a business, right?
36:29
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you got to do?
36:30
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you got to do every single day?
36:31
[SPEAKER_02]: What's the KPIs?
36:32
[SPEAKER_02]: What's the things that you have to do to make sure that your clients get the results that they need?
36:37
[SPEAKER_02]: However, one of the biggest problems was I was bad at marketing.
36:42
[SPEAKER_02]: So what I did was I went out I partnered with somebody else that's good at marketing.
36:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, listen, you're good at marketing.
36:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me come in and let me help you out and let's work on the back end and I'll do everything.
36:52
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't gotta worry about the back end.
36:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I complete everything.
36:56
[SPEAKER_02]: From there, we took that business and that business went over $100,000 in less than about eight or nine months.
37:04
[SPEAKER_02]: So from there, I did those kind of partnerships because I realized that I wasn't the best in marketing.
37:11
[SPEAKER_02]: So now fast forward, I'm starting to realize there's more strategies to growing a business now.
37:17
[SPEAKER_02]: You get, I mean, and the reason why it wasn't a six figure business because I started realizing the fact that I'm doing all the fucking work, I'm like, this is not, I don't enjoy it, bro.
37:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
37:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I don't enjoy it anymore.
37:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I don't like talking to the clients.
37:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like handling all their problems.
37:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't like all the stuff that started happening.
37:37
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm like, ah, I really got a figure that's marketing thing out, you know.
37:43
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's really a little bit about the credit repair business and how I gained a lot of success.
37:50
[SPEAKER_02]: You learn a lot of things.
37:52
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, you know what?
37:53
[SPEAKER_02]: These are all strategies and these are all tactics that are leading up to the success that we have now.
37:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Fast forward after that, I went into a state where I just didn't know what to do.
38:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know what to do.
38:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know what kind of business.
38:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to focus on.
38:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know what kind of services I wanted to offer.
38:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I know what kind of products I wanted to sell.
38:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean a lot of bad investments, you know, almost to the point where I thought I was going to go bankrupt literally, you know, and financially everything was crumbling, but
38:24
[SPEAKER_02]: My mindset was always still there, you know, that I got to keep pushing.
38:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I got to keep showing up.
38:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, there's another opportunity out there that I can explore.
38:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And I found it.
38:34
[SPEAKER_02]: It was podcastly, bro.
38:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
38:35
[SPEAKER_01]: That's amazing, bro.
38:36
[SPEAKER_01]: You found it.
38:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely didn't want you to share too.
38:40
[SPEAKER_01]: The time when, you know, you wasn't that lost phase.
38:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And...
38:43
[SPEAKER_01]: You ended up because he was one of the six-figure credit repair companies and then you ended up having to leave and go back to the nine or five.
38:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, how was that experience?
38:55
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I actually tell you Supervisors like, yo, I'm not gonna say anything.
39:00
[SPEAKER_01]: And then actually having to go back, you know, that's that a lot of people don't have that.
39:04
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people have that ego where they can't do that.
39:08
[SPEAKER_02]: very funny that you asked that story bro.
39:10
[SPEAKER_02]: So I left the conference and I talk a lot about the power of environment.
39:14
[SPEAKER_02]: So your environment is definitely going to either break you or it's going to make you.
39:18
[SPEAKER_02]: So around that time, the first time that I left my job, I was working at FedEx by the way, I used to, I went to a conference in July of 2020.
39:28
[SPEAKER_02]: That was recession proof.
39:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I came back, you know, it wasn't July.
39:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was April or May.
39:34
[SPEAKER_02]: I left my job at FedEx in July, 2022 and I went out, grew up, grew up, a six-figure business, and then quickly realized that things weren't working out for me after a certain amount of time.
39:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, I didn't understand marketing.
39:50
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
39:51
[SPEAKER_02]: What happened was, if I don't understand marketing, that means that no new clients are coming in in the door, that means that I'm not getting paid.
40:01
[SPEAKER_02]: So if I'm not getting paid, how am I surviving?
40:03
[SPEAKER_02]: How am I doing what I got to do?
40:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I still got bills to pay.
40:06
[SPEAKER_02]: So, it forced me to go back into getting a job that I actually ate, and then next to you know, I went, I said listen up, only going to work this job part time, only going to work Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
40:21
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I told myself.
40:23
[SPEAKER_02]: But what really happened was, I got comfortable.
40:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I got comfortable.
40:28
[SPEAKER_02]: So from Friday Saturday Sunday, turned into Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday.
40:35
[SPEAKER_02]: From Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday, turned into Wednesday, Thursday Friday Saturday, Sunday Monday.
40:41
[SPEAKER_02]: You go to me.
40:42
[SPEAKER_02]: So now I started off thinking that all right cool.
40:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna be able to use this money to go ahead and grow my business I don't really have too much of an ego because I'm like, I know I'm here.
40:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I literally just grow in a six figure business.
40:54
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't tell me I can't you know go and do it again.
40:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so
40:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I went in that stage where I'm like, I left the job and I went back to it because things wasn't working out in my business.
41:05
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, those are the things that I started realizing that I have to learn this marketing stuff.
41:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I have to understand this marketing stuff.
41:13
[SPEAKER_02]: So sometimes, you know, you may lay down, you might get knocked down, you feel like everything is happening to you.
41:19
[SPEAKER_02]: But you got to realize that everything is happening for you at some point.
41:29
[SPEAKER_02]: left and came back and then during that time while I was working I almost went bankrupt because I'm over here finding different ways and investing in high ticket programs that well beyond my actual you know income level and I was I believe them myself and I still do yeah and from there you know I didn't have any money to pay back credit cards credit cards was maxed out
41:54
[SPEAKER_02]: multiple credit cards is maxed out.
41:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like shit, what's going on?
41:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Business is not making money, striper counts is closing.
42:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything is just all falling.
42:03
[SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy.
42:05
[SPEAKER_02]: And I had to stay silent because you know, if I talk to people, they may say, hey, listen, quit.
42:12
[SPEAKER_02]: all in a dugout, go get that secure job, the graduated from college, you got a degree, you go use it, you got me so I had to stay quiet about everything that I had going on because it wasn't really anybody's business, you know.
42:26
[SPEAKER_02]: So I say that to say that you have to keep going, you have to find out the next thing that's going to, you know, pop for you because at some point, you know, it's going to work out for you.
42:38
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to work out for you.
42:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly, but now that's crazy, bro, that back side right there, you know, you broke it down like really good Yeah, especially like, you know, for people who who don't understand the power of marketing when it comes to your business You really can go through a lot Business wise if you do not understand how to market and you know, as pie crust is now who you know, we brought on a lot of successful entrepreneurs
43:04
[SPEAKER_01]: We never really like it took us a while to sit back and realize like your why haven't we started teaching this because clearly at one point we basically interviewed nearly the entire Atlanta they see something in our platform and us having a podcast.
43:22
[SPEAKER_01]: It took us a while for us to really see, until we, you know, we could show you guys the testimonials, people coming on the show, listen, my phone wouldn't stop ringing.
43:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Like literally, people who've been on our show, they're telling us like, yo, my phone wouldn't stop ringing.
43:37
[SPEAKER_01]: It's new customers coming in every day.
43:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Their face is pretty much shown all over
43:48
[SPEAKER_01]: a podcast, getting on a platform.
43:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So they understand the market inside and the importance of having a podcast.
43:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's exactly what you know, Cody was breaking down while I shared my long story because you guys have to understand how marketing can really transform your business.
44:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's exactly what we're teaching you.
44:06
[SPEAKER_01]: We're teaching you guys how to
44:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Utilize podcasts, use your own, build your own platform, leverage that podcast to establish trust, so you can get new customers and they can buy from you easy, easier.
44:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure you heard my backstory where I said, I was listening to podcasts, and what did I do after I listened to that podcast?
44:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I went out and I invested in the person that I was listening to.
44:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Because now I'm like, I consumed about hours of their content.
44:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So now I trust them, trust them enough to go online on a platform to go online and watch them every week and then to pull out my credit card and go and invest into whatever program they got going on to level myself up.
44:45
[SPEAKER_01]: So right there you see how important podcast it is and telling you guys, it's a great way
44:55
[SPEAKER_01]: among like any competition that may be in your niche, you'll stand out.
44:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
45:00
[SPEAKER_02]: So again, you know, when I say we earned everything, you know, I went from multiple different business models, multiple different partnerships, and it really came from that lack of that understanding of how to market a business.
45:14
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, growing a business is very simple.
45:15
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a few things that you need.
45:18
[SPEAKER_02]: And marketing is definitely one of them.
45:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You need to understand sales.
45:21
[SPEAKER_02]: So you need to understand marketing.
45:23
[SPEAKER_02]: You need to understand how to fulfill
45:26
[SPEAKER_02]: You need to understand, you know, all the these things that are literally going to help you to grow your business.
45:32
[SPEAKER_02]: So, which is why we're teaching you guys that that number one thing of marketing, because now if you don't understand marketing, you might as well go and get your day job all over again.
45:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Because you can quit your business.
45:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you can quit your job.

46:04
[SPEAKER_02]: If they don't know you, they can't flow you.
46:06
