- 1:00Speaker 3: All right, So now we're going to talk about multiple
- 1:03Speaker 3: streams of income.
- 1:04Speaker 4: That is I mean, I get that question. I'm sure
- 1:06Speaker 4: you get a bunch I get that. Especially in the
- 1:08Speaker 4: education field.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Teachers every day, it's like, Yo, I need to make
- 1:12Speaker 2: more money. How am I going to do this? What
- 1:15Speaker 2: do I do? How are you doing it? I'm like,
- 1:17Speaker 2: we got something for you.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Real, we got no multiple streams of income. It's no longer.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Option.
- 1:24Speaker 3: It's a necessity. Yeah, in this world that we live in.
- 1:28Speaker 3: So we're going if you're a member of e Yo University,
- 1:31Speaker 3: shouts to all of our e Yo out there students
- 1:36Speaker 3: that's enrolled. E y l University is the dopest platform
- 1:39Speaker 3: right now online. It's crazy. We did a whole course.
- 1:41Speaker 3: We did an our course on multiple streams of income
- 1:44Speaker 3: that's actually out right now. So we're going to do
- 1:45Speaker 3: is try to condense this like fifteen minutes. But if
- 1:47Speaker 3: you want the like full hour version, you can just
- 1:50Speaker 3: check out earn your Leisure dot com. We also have
- 1:52Speaker 3: a course on it about how to create a podcast
- 1:53Speaker 3: with details, product placement, all that. It's dope. It's dope.
- 1:57Speaker 3: So yeah, we yeah, this would be like the abbreviated version,
- 2:01Speaker 3: and if you want the full version, you can just
- 2:02Speaker 3: check out Eyo University for sure. But so right, when
- 2:06Speaker 3: it comes down to like having multiple streams of income, right,
- 2:09Speaker 3: I think it's important to first understand and shout out
- 2:12Speaker 3: to Derek Falcon another one of our legendary episodes that
- 2:15Speaker 3: you don't A lot of times people are under the
- 2:16Speaker 3: misconception that you need like five seven different things because
- 2:20Speaker 3: they say the average millionaire has anywhere between five to
- 2:22Speaker 3: seven streams of income. So a lot of times people
- 2:25Speaker 3: look at that and it becomes like overwhelming because it's
- 2:27Speaker 3: like we're so trained. The average person is just trained
- 2:30Speaker 3: to work a job to get money. So now it's like, Okay,
- 2:32Speaker 3: I gotta work seven jobs, or I gotta like create
- 2:35Speaker 3: seven totally different businesses. So I gotta do like construction, plumbing,
- 2:40Speaker 3: real estate. I gotta be a stock market invest I
- 2:42Speaker 3: gotta do all these different things, and it's like who
- 2:44Speaker 3: has enough time? Right? But one thing I really liked
- 2:47Speaker 3: about with Derek saiding it really resonated with us, is
- 2:50Speaker 3: that you don't need multiple avenues to create multiple streams
- 2:56Speaker 3: of income. You just need one lane that you do
- 2:59Speaker 3: really well and you can create multiple streams of income
- 3:01Speaker 3: off of that one length.
- 3:02Speaker 4: It's like what we said, like we got to build
- 3:04Speaker 4: a foundation. If you think in the sense of a tree,
- 3:07Speaker 4: the tree is gonna be the foundation of what you're
- 3:09Speaker 4: gonna do, right, So like from that, you're just gonna
- 3:11Speaker 4: start building branches from it.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Yeah, so all right, So yeah, so we're not eve
- 3:16Speaker 3: gonna give you a case study or theory. We're gonna
- 3:18Speaker 3: give you the real deal Lisia. Yeah, this is easy.
- 3:22Speaker 3: This is just all I mean, this is ours platform
- 3:24Speaker 3: in blueprint. But I mean, you know, everybody's blueprint is
- 3:27Speaker 3: gonna be different, but we can just we can speak
- 3:29Speaker 3: best about what we personally know, right.
- 3:31Speaker 4: So, and they've been here to see it, so like
- 3:33Speaker 4: y'all been here watching it. Y'all seen it from January
- 3:35Speaker 4: to now. We're just gonna give you really in detail
- 3:38Speaker 4: like how this works.
- 3:39Speaker 3: Yeah for sure. So the thing with Earn Your Lisia
- 3:41Speaker 3: is that all right. So Earn Your Lisia started in
- 3:44Speaker 3: January of twenty nineteen, and it was a podcast, right,
- 3:49Speaker 3: and it was you know, we started the Instagram page
- 3:51Speaker 3: was the first thing we did. And we launched Instagram
- 3:55Speaker 3: and we turned into like a daily discussion board pretty
- 3:59Speaker 3: much of like different financial topics. We post different things
- 4:02Speaker 3: on Instagram and people give their feedback on it and
- 4:05Speaker 3: we do different write ups and it's like a whole
- 4:07Speaker 3: you know, financial board discussion on different all different areas
- 4:12Speaker 3: of finance. Right. So, but that was all done in
- 4:16Speaker 3: relationship to build the podcast. Right, So we created a podcast, right,
- 4:20Speaker 3: we didn't know anything about That's another thing about this too,
- 4:22Speaker 3: is that we didn't know. We're not even our year yet.
- 4:25Speaker 2: We're like, we're still learning. We just had a phone
- 4:27Speaker 2: call and we're like, yo, we're learning still.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Yeah, eleven eleven months and we're still learning. So we
- 4:33Speaker 3: think we're Earner Leasia. Is that Okay? So it started
- 4:35Speaker 3: it's just a podcast, and we had to figure out
- 4:38Speaker 3: how can you monetize a podcast because there's no blueprint
- 4:41Speaker 3: on how to do it. You just kind of figure
- 4:43Speaker 3: out how you go, right. So, but now we have
- 4:47Speaker 3: a few different streams from earn lesions, like I think
- 4:48Speaker 3: we gonn talk about like five six different streams that
- 4:51Speaker 3: we have from earn Leisure, income streams from early Leasure
- 4:54Speaker 3: right now. Right, So all right, So as the podcast grew,
- 4:56Speaker 3: the first the first thing that we started to monetize
- 4:59Speaker 3: was all yeah, right, so if you listen to this,
- 5:02Speaker 3: you know that you know, we give Spotify anchor from
- 5:05Speaker 3: time to time other brands. You know, it's part of
- 5:08Speaker 3: the episode. Right, So those are ads that we do,
- 5:13Speaker 3: and we're not doing it for charity. Obviously we can't
- 5:16Speaker 3: conversated for that, right, So how you get compensated in
- 5:19Speaker 3: the podcast world was called CPM yep, right, So CPM
- 5:23Speaker 3: is like per thousand plays what you get. So if
- 5:26Speaker 3: you get standard, the good thing with podcasts is that
- 5:29Speaker 3: it's usually like standard. It's like twenty five dollars twenty on,
- 5:33Speaker 3: like twenty to twenty five. It's like usually standard, right,
- 5:37Speaker 3: industry standard.
- 5:38Speaker 2: And when the platform we use was Anchor.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Obviously if you listen to this, we did it on
- 5:42Speaker 4: Anchor and we didn't have to go find them. They
- 5:46Speaker 4: provided us with the ads based on the audience listening.
- 5:49Speaker 4: So they saw that there was a thousand people listening
- 5:51Speaker 4: to the first episodes, they send us one ad.
- 5:53Speaker 2: They see this four thousand people. Then they sent us
- 5:55Speaker 2: two ads.
- 5:56Speaker 4: So the more people we had engaged in listening, the
- 5:59Speaker 4: more ads they sent to us. And you know it,
- 6:01Speaker 4: so like you hear, you got to go back and
- 6:03Speaker 4: listen to the original adds. So the original was a
- 6:05Speaker 4: funny bit.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Man, not a crazy thing is At first I didn't
- 6:08Speaker 3: even want to take the ad because I'm like, when
- 6:09Speaker 3: I saw it was twenty dollars CPM per thousand.
- 6:14Speaker 2: That's how it works, every thousand.
- 6:16Speaker 3: So when we first started, we was averaging like two
- 6:19Speaker 3: thousand a week or something like that. So I'm like,
- 6:21Speaker 3: why are we even doing this for forty dollars? And
- 6:24Speaker 3: then I read something like just do it because it
- 6:26Speaker 3: builds up over the cost.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Of time perpetuity.
- 6:28Speaker 3: And it does. I can tell you it does. And
- 6:31Speaker 3: the crazy thing about it is that now with like
- 6:35Speaker 3: anchor like it's the dynamic ads, right, So what happens
- 6:39Speaker 3: is that not every time somebody listens to a podcast,
- 6:42Speaker 3: we get paid. So you can go back and listen
- 6:45Speaker 3: to episode one and as long as there's an ad
- 6:47Speaker 3: and placed in it, we're gonna get paid for that.
- 6:50Speaker 3: So that's pretty cool because it's like, now as our
- 6:52Speaker 3: audience grows, right, we are revenue grows as well, right,
- 6:58Speaker 3: so we get paid. So that's one way how we
- 6:59Speaker 3: get paid, right. And then so that was the first
- 7:02Speaker 3: way how we started to monetize the podcast. And then
- 7:05Speaker 3: you know, from that, we figured, okay, now we have
- 7:07Speaker 3: an audience, but we always love fashion and we always
- 7:12Speaker 3: you know, it was like, okay, what's the next thing
- 7:15Speaker 3: that we should do, and actually to promote the podcast
- 7:17Speaker 3: as well, and we came up with a couple of
- 7:18Speaker 3: different slogans with the slogan, the slogan that really stuck
- 7:21Speaker 3: and became our signature was Assets over Liability.
- 7:24Speaker 4: Yeah, we had if I remember sitting down and we
- 7:26Speaker 4: wrote down, like you said, let's come up with ten.
- 7:28Speaker 4: I'm gonna come up with ten. And we put them
- 7:30Speaker 4: out and it was like, all right, well let's use
- 7:32Speaker 4: these three. And we had three. So if you had
- 7:34Speaker 4: the day one people, you know, when you went to
- 7:36Speaker 4: the site, there was a bunch of different shirts.
- 7:38Speaker 2: And as we moved on and we realized like that's
- 7:40Speaker 2: not really gonna move, we stuck with three.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Yeah, the most popular, Access over Reliabilities. So and that
- 7:47Speaker 3: just became our trademark. We tried a couple different things,
- 7:50Speaker 3: but that became our trademark. And so the thing about merch,
- 7:54Speaker 3: everybody sells merch. It's popular, it's like the first thing
- 7:56Speaker 3: you want to do, right, But merch can be a
- 8:01Speaker 3: kind of a tricky thing. So how we use what
- 8:02Speaker 3: we use is print Fall. Right. So print Fall is
- 8:05Speaker 3: a company that allows you to not hold any inventory.
- 8:08Speaker 4: It's on demand, so like you order it, it's they
- 8:11Speaker 4: make it pretty much like what we said in the
- 8:13Speaker 4: last segment. They make it, they distribute it, and all
- 8:16Speaker 4: we do is create the file which is the assets
- 8:19Speaker 4: over alliabilities, which is ours. They print it up and
- 8:22Speaker 4: they send it out to you.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Yeah. So, and it's an interesting business model. It's pros
- 8:25Speaker 3: and cons with everything because they take a percentage, a
- 8:28Speaker 3: pretty healthy percentage. We're working on that so, I mean,
- 8:32Speaker 3: we probably could make a lot more money if we
- 8:34Speaker 3: just did it ourselves. But the thing about it is
- 8:37Speaker 3: a lot more work and it's a lot more capital.
- 8:39Speaker 3: It doesn't cost us anything. That's the good thing about
- 8:41Speaker 3: print falls. That doesn't cost anything.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Right, we don't have to buy sweatshirts, we don't have
- 8:44Speaker 2: to buy t shirts.
- 8:45Speaker 3: One hundred dollars a month I think just to actually
- 8:46Speaker 3: run the site. But other than that, there's no there's
- 8:50Speaker 3: no money, there's no overhead. So as somebody buys the shirt,
- 8:53Speaker 3: they print it, they ship it. It's a whole. It's
- 8:56Speaker 3: a whole.
- 8:57Speaker 4: Literally, Like we created our own store on Shopify. It
- 8:59Speaker 4: goes on prince full and we put our designs up
- 9:02Speaker 4: there and people just when they order.
- 9:04Speaker 2: I remember we got our first order. I was like,
- 9:05Speaker 2: oh wow, this is great, and then we don't have
- 9:09Speaker 2: to store anything.
- 9:11Speaker 3: That's another thing to it. Especially when it comes to business,
- 9:13Speaker 3: a lot of times it's like and this is this
- 9:15Speaker 3: is this. There's no really no right or wrong answer
- 9:17Speaker 3: on this, But especially if you're doing a lot of
- 9:20Speaker 3: different things, sometimes it's better to take less money to
- 9:23Speaker 3: free your time up right, because it's like, like I said,
- 9:25Speaker 3: we could do it ourselves, but that's a lot more time,
- 9:27Speaker 3: Like we actually have to find somebody to actually make
- 9:29Speaker 3: it for. We have to hold a bundle of different
- 9:33Speaker 3: merch we have to ship it, we have to track it,
- 9:36Speaker 3: we have to you know, do all of those things.
- 9:39Speaker 3: It's not and especially as more people start to order shirts,
- 9:42Speaker 3: it becomes too much. It's difficult. So with print Fall,
- 9:46Speaker 3: they kind of do all of that for us. Like
- 9:48Speaker 3: I said, they take their percentage for doing all of
- 9:50Speaker 3: that stuff, but we're still get compensated. So that was
- 9:54Speaker 3: that was another revenue that was like the second revenue
- 9:57Speaker 3: stream that we did.
- 9:57Speaker 4: I did, and then the next one was a probably
- 10:00Speaker 4: pay program and that was kind of just happened in
- 10:03Speaker 4: a comment somebody was like, hey, you guys on Patreon,
- 10:05Speaker 4: and at the time I remember I text you, I'm like, yo,
- 10:07Speaker 4: what is Patreon? And then we did the resource showler.
- 10:10Speaker 4: It was like, oh, this could be a way that
- 10:12Speaker 4: we could give bonus content. We can put out different
- 10:16Speaker 4: variety of things and features for our audience, and so
- 10:19Speaker 4: like that became another source of income.
- 10:21Speaker 2: So we created five different tiers.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Yeah, Patreon, Patreon is a whole bob you actually you're
- 10:25Speaker 3: talking about Patreon. I don't even know what Patreon was comedy,
- 10:28Speaker 3: just like we should do a Patreon, Like what is Patreon?
- 10:30Speaker 3: And Patreon is a is a is a platform for
- 10:33Speaker 3: creatives for people to support on a financial level. And
- 10:38Speaker 3: the cool thing with Patreon is that it's a real community,
- 10:40Speaker 3: where like Patreon, you get you can add different tiers
- 10:43Speaker 3: to it. So like we have different tiers to our
- 10:45Speaker 3: Patreon and like depending on what tear you're in, Like
- 10:48Speaker 3: you get add free episodes, you get episodes before the
- 10:52Speaker 3: podcast drops. You get FaceTime conversations with us. Yeah, FaceTime
- 10:58Speaker 3: conversations is lit. You get direct conversations with us, you
- 11:01Speaker 3: get you get discounts on the merche, you get access
- 11:06Speaker 3: to Eyo University.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Yeah, that's new.
- 11:07Speaker 4: So like that was one of the things and we
- 11:09Speaker 4: sent the message out. It was like, Yo, we got
- 11:11Speaker 4: something to coming, we got something to come in, and
- 11:12Speaker 4: we were building it. So like now it's like now
- 11:15Speaker 4: they get to see what we have building. Everybody that's
- 11:17Speaker 4: in a Tier four or five they get to have
- 11:19Speaker 4: access to Eyo University. So that makes it even dope.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Yeah, and this this, this is the whole The whole
- 11:24Speaker 3: thing with the Business show is that you want to
- 11:25Speaker 3: just create different ideas because you might not be able
- 11:27Speaker 3: to copy every single thing, but you want to just
- 11:29Speaker 3: spark your brain. So for me, I'm always big on
- 11:32Speaker 3: cross promoting, right, So I'm like, okay, look if we
- 11:34Speaker 3: got Patreon, right, And and you also have to add
- 11:38Speaker 3: value like all these different report I want to stress
- 11:39Speaker 3: that too. Never do anything just to make money, right,
- 11:44Speaker 3: you got to have like real value, Like the merch
- 11:46Speaker 3: is something that we truly believe in, Like we really
- 11:48Speaker 3: believe in the merch. And I think the reason why
- 11:50Speaker 3: as Overliabilities has taken off because it's a dope slogan
- 11:54Speaker 3: and it's really powerful and like three words, it really
- 11:57Speaker 3: means a lot, Like it's assets over liability, like you
- 12:00Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So it's like, if you're going
- 12:02Speaker 3: to spend money to wear merch, Like, you might as
- 12:04Speaker 3: well wear something that you like and it's stylished. That's
- 12:07Speaker 3: like it's dope.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Like that was our thing.
- 12:09Speaker 4: It was like, Yo, if we're going to create something
- 12:11Speaker 4: that people are gonna wear, it might have it should
- 12:12Speaker 4: have a message on it, and it should be a
- 12:14Speaker 4: message that resonates with our community and all communities. Really yeah,
- 12:17Speaker 4: like that's what the intent was when we did the merchant,
- 12:19Speaker 4: and like, let's make money. We're not a clothing brand,
- 12:21Speaker 4: but we want to have a message. Every time we
- 12:23Speaker 4: go outside we know people.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Are watching exactly. And also with the Patreon too, it's
- 12:27Speaker 3: like we don't want to just set up Patreon as
- 12:30Speaker 3: a way for people just to support the podcast. That's
- 12:32Speaker 3: like charity and an event. We want to actually give
- 12:34Speaker 3: them value as well. Right, So that's why we had
- 12:36Speaker 3: the phone conversations, That's why we added free access to
- 12:39Speaker 3: Eyo University. That's why we actually discounts on the merch.
- 12:42Speaker 3: But now with the Patreon, you get discount on the merch,
- 12:45Speaker 3: but it leads back to the merch, which is like
- 12:48Speaker 3: cross promoting, right exactly, So and everything always leads back
- 12:51Speaker 3: to the podcast. The podcast is the Mothership, which is free.
- 12:54Speaker 3: But that's the cool thing about it too, where the
- 12:57Speaker 3: podcast is free, but from something that is free, we're
- 13:00Speaker 3: able to create multiple different income streams where we can
- 13:03Speaker 3: actually profit. So that's another thing to a lot of
- 13:05Speaker 3: times people think like just because you're not actually getting
- 13:07Speaker 3: paid for something right away, or something doesn't look like
- 13:10Speaker 3: you can actually make money from it, you gotta look deeper.
- 13:13Speaker 3: It's not just like you gotta go ABC D E
- 13:16Speaker 3: F like you know what I mean, like to say, okay,
- 13:18Speaker 3: the podcast, we could the podcast is really just to
- 13:21Speaker 3: get us out there. As far as on our revenue,
- 13:23Speaker 3: of course, the podcast is to educate, that's the most important.
- 13:26Speaker 3: But as far as our revenue stream, we now we
- 13:29Speaker 3: can monetize the podcast even though people don't pay for
- 13:31Speaker 3: the podcast because of ads. But even if we had
- 13:34Speaker 3: no ads at all, we can still monetize off of
- 13:36Speaker 3: the podcast because of the visibility and allows us to
- 13:39Speaker 3: do other things.
- 13:40Speaker 4: And it's not like we have to create seven different things.
- 13:43Speaker 4: We still have the Mothership, the tree, which is the podcast,
- 13:46Speaker 4: and all these branches coming off of it. And that's
- 13:48Speaker 4: true what you said. We didn't do it for money, right,
- 13:51Speaker 4: So like when we had Patreon. We had like two
- 13:53Speaker 4: members the first month. Right next month we had seven.
- 13:56Speaker 4: Like we just kept grinding, like kept putting out the contact,
- 13:59Speaker 4: putt out of value making.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Those phone calls.
- 14:01Speaker 4: Now we're up to like over one hundred and fifteen
- 14:03Speaker 4: or something like that. And it was like just being
- 14:05Speaker 4: consistent and spreading the word and giving the value.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Like I think I was massed right.
- 14:09Speaker 4: He was like, yo, just give it away, give it away,
- 14:10Speaker 4: give it away, give it away, give it away.
- 14:12Speaker 3: And then people are, well, they want to pay for it.
- 14:14Speaker 3: They feel guilty not to that and that's why, like
- 14:16Speaker 3: I said, proud to pay. With Nipsey when he had
- 14:18Speaker 3: his one hundred dollars, it wasn't so much it's just
- 14:22Speaker 3: him selling a mixtape for one hundred dollars. This is
- 14:23Speaker 3: a whole experience. You got tickets to a concert, you
- 14:27Speaker 3: got merch. It was it was bundled together and it
- 14:30Speaker 3: was very well done and people were proud to because
- 14:33Speaker 3: people want to support, but they just got to have
- 14:35Speaker 3: something good that they can support, Like nobody wants to
- 14:37Speaker 3: support something that's just trash. And then so so then
- 14:41Speaker 3: the next revenue stream comes via of YouTube. So YouTube
- 14:44Speaker 3: is something that we're still figuring it out, but I
- 14:47Speaker 3: encourage any creative, any creative of anybody thinking about starting anything.
- 14:52Speaker 3: You got to get on YouTube. People don't fully understand
- 14:54Speaker 3: the power of YouTube. We spoke about this before, but.
- 14:56Speaker 4: That's the thing, and it would just be fully transparent.
- 14:59Speaker 4: We didn't start on YouTube.
- 15:01Speaker 3: The first like seven episodes wasn't wasn't on you. People
- 15:04Speaker 3: had to really convince us to get on YouTube. Like
- 15:08Speaker 3: the first seven episodes was just audio because it's like
- 15:10Speaker 3: it's a lot more work. You gotta film it, and
- 15:12Speaker 3: you gotta upload it, you gotta edit this. It's the
- 15:14Speaker 3: whole process. But YouTube, YouTube is interesting because it's like
- 15:19Speaker 3: YouTube also. All right, So the monetization for YouTube is
- 15:22Speaker 3: you have to have a thousand watch hours.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Yeah, so a thousand watch hours and four.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Before you come out. So watch hours is like how
- 15:32Speaker 3: many how many hours somebody has watched your video. So
- 15:35Speaker 3: you need a thousand watch hours and you need four
- 15:38Speaker 3: thousand subscribers and then you can start to monetize through
- 15:41Speaker 3: YouTube studio. And YouTube is another thing where it's like,
- 15:45Speaker 3: you know, the first YouTube check that you'll see is
- 15:48Speaker 3: like let's say, like for us, it.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Was like one hundred watched it.
- 15:50Speaker 4: I mean we watched that for like one hundred dollars.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it's like six months later, was to
- 15:58Speaker 3: like four thousand YouTube. So God will in this time
- 16:02Speaker 3: next year it will be four times that, you know
- 16:04Speaker 3: what I'm saying. But the good thing with YouTube is
- 16:06Speaker 3: like once again, like the audio, once a video is
- 16:08Speaker 3: in YouTube, especially if it's like gets a lot of traction,
- 16:11Speaker 3: it's there forever. So I was just telling, like Alex
- 16:14Speaker 3: goot Energy from Trucking Episode thirty nine, I'm like, yo,
- 16:17Speaker 3: your video is gonna live forever because it has like
- 16:19Speaker 3: fifty nine thousand views right now or whatever. But a
- 16:22Speaker 3: year from now, somebody types in trucking, they'll find that video,
- 16:26Speaker 3: right and then they watch it and then we get paid.
- 16:28Speaker 3: And the cool thing, and I spoke about this on
- 16:30Speaker 3: the social media episode that we did, is that a
- 16:32Speaker 3: lot of times people with especially with like YouTube and
- 16:35Speaker 3: things of that nature, numbers are not the most important thing.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Numbers are not the most important thing. What I mean
- 16:41Speaker 3: by that is that like our forty thousand subscribers that
- 16:46Speaker 3: we have right now is probably more valuable than a
- 16:50Speaker 3: lot of people that have a million, two million subscribers
- 16:53Speaker 3: because our content, we get paid at a higher CPM.
- 16:56Speaker 3: What that means is that like our content is clean,
- 16:59Speaker 3: content is that's important, So companies they love that to advertise, right,
- 17:04Speaker 3: It's like the business is like the number one space
- 17:06Speaker 3: for advertisers. So I was speaking to somebody who has
- 17:11Speaker 3: a YouTube channel, but it's a wrap show and they
- 17:15Speaker 3: bring rappers on stuff like that, you know. So he
- 17:18Speaker 3: was telling me his CPMs for his show is like
- 17:20Speaker 3: three dollars four dollars, but he has like a million subscribers.
- 17:25Speaker 3: His videos get like two hundred thousand views, right, But
- 17:28Speaker 3: he's not really making money because it's like three dollars
- 17:30Speaker 3: where we might get ten twenty thousand views per episode.
- 17:34Speaker 3: We have forty thousand subscribers, which is way less than
- 17:37Speaker 3: what he has, right, right, but we're making more money
- 17:39Speaker 3: because our CPMs could be thirty dollars twenty five dollars.
- 17:43Speaker 4: And that's another thing that's beautiful about YouTube is that
- 17:46Speaker 4: the CPM fluctuates, so like depending on the content, like
- 17:49Speaker 4: a video like mobile homes, you could get maybe forty
- 17:52Speaker 4: five dollars per CPM, which is per thousand, or like
- 17:56Speaker 4: Alex right, it could be forty seven dollars or as
- 18:00Speaker 4: in the audio space, it's just pretty stage the same
- 18:02Speaker 4: standard at twenty five dollars. So like that's another beautiful
- 18:05Speaker 4: thing about YouTubers, Like it changes and depending on the content,
- 18:08Speaker 4: and that's that's key. What you said, too, is having
- 18:10Speaker 4: clean content, because if we had profanity laced conversations, right,
- 18:16Speaker 4: people wouldn't be putting money out to put on ads.
- 18:19Speaker 4: And I think we ran into that one time when
- 18:21Speaker 4: we had an episode with We're Talking about Marijuana, which
- 18:25Speaker 4: was a business podcast and it was a business lesson,
- 18:28Speaker 4: but just the fact that we had marijuana in our title,
- 18:31Speaker 4: it kind of changed.
- 18:32Speaker 3: We didn't get paid for that, But that's something too
- 18:35Speaker 3: for a lot of crit Like I said, all of
- 18:36Speaker 3: this stuff is just free information, free knowledge because these
- 18:39Speaker 3: are things that we learned. We literally learned all this
- 18:41Speaker 3: stuff on the fly. So you know, if you're starting
- 18:43Speaker 3: a YouTube channel, if you're thinking about monetizing online, these
- 18:46Speaker 3: are good good things to know. Because we didn't notice,
- 18:48Speaker 3: Like we didn't know that we put cannabis on marijuana
- 18:52Speaker 3: in the title, that's a red flag for YouTube. The
- 18:54Speaker 3: video went out, people saw it, but we didn't get
- 18:56Speaker 3: paid on it.
- 18:57Speaker 2: We got that little yellow sticker.
- 18:58Speaker 3: They're very big on that, very big on that industry.
- 19:01Speaker 3: They've shut down pages. They shut down some big cannabis
- 19:04Speaker 3: pages where six hundred thousand subscribers, a million subscribers, they
- 19:08Speaker 3: shut their pages down. So it's just it's important to
- 19:11Speaker 3: understand what you're doing because like you could just be
- 19:14Speaker 3: doing something and I fully understand what you're doing, and
- 19:17Speaker 3: it's like you got you built up a million and
- 19:20Speaker 3: two million followers subscribers, but now it's hard for you
- 19:24Speaker 3: to monetize it. Where you see somebody with one hundred thousand,
- 19:27Speaker 3: I said, it's on social media. I know a girl
- 19:29Speaker 3: who had one hundred thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand
- 19:32Speaker 3: subscribers on Instagram that was getting paid fifteen thousand dollars
- 19:37Speaker 3: for an Instagram post. Where we know a lot of
- 19:40Speaker 3: Instagram models, bartenders that have millions of followers that can't
- 19:46Speaker 3: they can't figure out how to make money because the
- 19:48Speaker 3: only people that's going to advertise on their page is
- 19:51Speaker 3: lingerie and just promoting parties industry. They're limited, right, even
- 19:56Speaker 3: like a John Henry, John Henry doesn't have that many followers,
- 19:58Speaker 3: have like one hundred and twenty thousand followers, killing he's
- 20:01Speaker 3: making a killing.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Killing.
- 20:01Speaker 3: He making a killing because it's clean. You got a
- 20:04Speaker 3: clean look. It's you know what I mean, it's just
- 20:06Speaker 3: the whole, it's the whole package. He's very he's very
- 20:09Speaker 3: friendly to advertise it. So not to say that you
- 20:11Speaker 3: have to be that. I mean you could, you could
- 20:13Speaker 3: still make money, but not me. But just know that.
- 20:16Speaker 3: Just just just be aware of it. Like I'm not
- 20:17Speaker 3: telling you to change your your whole platform and to
- 20:21Speaker 3: become something that you're not, but just be aware of it.
- 20:23Speaker 4: You should be aware because that will be the reason
- 20:25Speaker 4: why the monetization is a lot less.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Yeah, So just know it's good to know that, not
- 20:29Speaker 2: the fact.
- 20:30Speaker 3: So and then we also do live events. Now the
- 20:34Speaker 3: live events is another way how we're monetizing. But the thing,
- 20:37Speaker 3: like I said, the thing about is that we're always
- 20:39Speaker 3: adding value. Right, So this is a business podcast. We're
- 20:42Speaker 3: never gonna apologize for making money. That's the whole point.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Like we should never be ashamed to be entrepreneurs. But
- 20:48Speaker 3: as long as you're as long as you're creating value,
- 20:50Speaker 3: that's the most important thing. Right. So just from that,
- 20:52Speaker 3: that's five different revenue streams that we named off of
- 20:57Speaker 3: the podcast. Right, So now we don't have to we
- 20:59Speaker 3: don't have to get five different jobs. We don't have
- 21:02Speaker 3: to create five different businesses, even though they are kind
- 21:05Speaker 3: of separate of each other, but they're all under the
- 21:07Speaker 3: mothership of your leader, and they all hover under the podcast.
- 21:12Speaker 3: The podcast is what leads everything, right, We know that,
- 21:15Speaker 3: and that's important too. Never go away from what feeds you.
- 21:18Speaker 3: A lot of times people get successful and one thing
- 21:21Speaker 3: and then they stop paying attention to that. Like, the
- 21:24Speaker 3: podcast is always going to be high quality. We're always
- 21:27Speaker 3: going to do our best with the podcast because we understand,
- 21:29Speaker 3: like the podcast is what got us to this point.
- 21:31Speaker 4: But this episode is brought to you by P and
- 21:35Speaker 4: C Bank. A lot of people think podcasts about work
- 21:38Speaker 4: are boring, and sure they definitely can be, but understanding
- 21:42Speaker 4: a professionals routine shows us how they achieve their success
- 21:45Speaker 4: little by little, day after day.
- 21:48Speaker 2: It's like banking with P and C Bank. It might
- 21:51Speaker 2: seem boring.
- 21:51Speaker 4: To save, plan and make calculated decisions with your bank,
- 21:55Speaker 4: but keeping your money boring is what helps you live
- 21:57Speaker 4: or more happily fulfilled life. P and C Bank brilliantly
- 22:01Speaker 4: boring since eighteen sixty five. Brilliantly boring since eighteen sixty
- 22:06Speaker 4: five is a service mark of the PNC Financial Service Group, Inc.

- 24:24Speaker 3: did that, we'd be doing ourselves and our supporter is
- 24:27Speaker 3: a disservice because that's not what we preach. Like we
- 24:30Speaker 3: preach to have no limit to expand your horizons. So
- 24:33Speaker 3: if we just stayed just doing a podcast, we wouldn't
- 24:37Speaker 3: be a good example. Like I'm saying that we got
- 24:39Speaker 3: to set an example. It's like it's more than just
- 24:40Speaker 3: like we're just not getting up here just talking about it.
- 24:43Speaker 3: We actually are implementing a real business.
- 24:44Speaker 4: Yeah, and we have a few more, Like we have
- 24:46Speaker 4: a few more even even like in the summer when
- 24:49Speaker 4: we do our summer programming. That's another stream of income
- 24:52Speaker 4: for us. We have a couple things that we're going
- 24:54Speaker 4: announce to the top of twenty twenty that were just
- 24:57Speaker 4: continuing to build off of the mothership. All earn your leisure,
- 25:00Speaker 4: but all things that help people. So yeah, man, we
- 25:03Speaker 4: gotta keep creating. And it don't be surprised if you
- 25:05Speaker 4: see like us doing trucking, Like we get a truck,
- 25:09Speaker 4: we're we're getting all this inflammation. So every time we
- 25:13Speaker 4: hear something and we learn, it's like, yo, we should
- 25:15Speaker 4: do No.
- 25:15Speaker 3: It's a fact. We even talking about our book. We
- 25:17Speaker 3: gotta get we got we gotta get back to writing
- 25:19Speaker 3: that book. But the book, that's another thing that was
- 25:23Speaker 3: like that we're looking to launch and we got the
- 25:25Speaker 3: blueprint of the book from Ash Cash episode episode twenty six.
- 25:29Speaker 3: So it's like a lot of times, like when you
- 25:31Speaker 3: listen to earn your leisure, don't just listen and just
- 25:34Speaker 3: be entertained. Man, it's application, Like I said, like we're
- 25:38Speaker 3: living proof, like we're we're literally applying things that we
- 25:41Speaker 3: are learning.
- 25:42Speaker 4: You know what the best part is, Like not once
- 25:43Speaker 4: did you say like I'm a financial advisor too, Like
- 25:46Speaker 4: people forget that part, Like yeah, so like yeah, that
- 25:49Speaker 4: your financial advisor.
- 25:50Speaker 2: I'm a teacher. But these things that we're doing, like
- 25:53Speaker 2: outside of that, that's like non different streams.
- 25:56Speaker 3: You need to have like ten ten different joints going
- 25:58Speaker 3: because you never know, you never know when something can
- 26:00Speaker 3: dry up, you know what I'm saying. You never know
- 26:02Speaker 3: when something can dry up. So it's like I've seen
- 26:04Speaker 3: it and I learned that early on just from watching
- 26:06Speaker 3: people that I grew up with older people, And it's
- 26:09Speaker 3: like you get laid off from your job and your
- 26:11Speaker 3: screw you had a bad month from your job, and
- 26:13Speaker 3: it's like you damn there on a homeless line, like
- 26:17Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So now it's like we're
- 26:18Speaker 3: having multiple streams. It gives you a cushion. It gives
- 26:20Speaker 3: you a buffer and it's like, all right.
- 26:22Speaker 2: Well you can feel it. You can feel the freedom.
- 26:23Speaker 3: You do feel less pressure to you.
- 26:24Speaker 2: You can feel the freedom of it.
- 26:25Speaker 4: It's like, you know what, I'm not relying on anything.
- 26:28Speaker 4: I have so many things that if this doesn't work,
- 26:30Speaker 4: I got this.
- 26:31Speaker 2: I got it.
- 26:31Speaker 4: You can feel the freedom like I can feel it personally.
- 26:33Speaker 4: It's like, Yo, this is crazy. This is different. Like
- 26:36Speaker 4: this feels like twenty nineteen doesn't feel like twenty eighteen.
- 26:39Speaker 2: It feels different.
- 26:40Speaker 3: It does. And so yeah, so that's our but that's
- 26:43Speaker 3: our journey. And not to say that you have to
- 26:45Speaker 3: start a podcast, but it's like that's something that fit
- 26:48Speaker 3: in what we were doing. So it's like what fits
- 26:51Speaker 3: in what you're doing?
- 26:52Speaker 4: Yeah, And on Early Legion University, I broke down how
- 26:56Speaker 4: you can earn income and education because a lot of
- 26:58Speaker 4: times I have conversations with people in my profession and like, yo,
- 27:01Speaker 4: how do you have time?
- 27:02Speaker 2: How do you have time?
- 27:03Speaker 4: And I went through like five or six different things
- 27:05Speaker 4: streams of income just from being an educator, Like it
- 27:09Speaker 4: is things that you probably are overthinking that you can
- 27:12Speaker 4: do that don't require much time.
- 27:14Speaker 3: Yeah, so all right, So yeah, that was that, And
- 27:19Speaker 3: like I said, that was kind of the abbreviated version.
- 27:20Speaker 3: The full version is on earn your Legion University, where
- 27:23Speaker 3: we kind of just dove into a lot of different things.
- 27:25Speaker 3: But I just wanted to just let people know that
- 27:28Speaker 3: it's always something more, no matter what you're doing, it's
- 27:32Speaker 3: always something more. And when you're looking to start a business,
- 27:34Speaker 3: see if that business is scalable, like the podcast is
- 27:36Speaker 3: scalable because we don't it's very low inventory. That's another
- 27:39Speaker 3: thing too, it's very low inventory. It can reach people
- 27:42Speaker 3: from New York to Australia. We're not limited geographically, and
- 27:46Speaker 3: it provides us opportunities to create multiple different launching paths.
- 27:51Speaker 4: That was the first question Dery Falcon ask me walked
- 27:53Speaker 4: in when we did his interview. The first thing he
- 27:54Speaker 4: sat down on my coudu and was like, Yo, how
- 27:57Speaker 4: y'all gonna scale this first thing?
- 27:58Speaker 2: You asked? I'm like, good question, and we still we
- 28:02Speaker 2: come up with.
- 28:02Speaker 3: New ideas how we can scale. So, like I said,
- 28:05Speaker 3: that's our blueprint, but what's your blueprint? Right? Like, if
- 28:09Speaker 3: you are restaurant owner, how do you scale that? How
- 28:13Speaker 3: do you create multiple different streams. Derek gave the blueprint
- 28:16Speaker 3: for that. But it's like if you if you have
- 28:18Speaker 3: a gym, how do you create multiple different streams off
- 28:21Speaker 3: that gym? Like even Alex right, he has a trucking,
- 28:23Speaker 3: but he makes more money off of his portal and
- 28:27Speaker 3: now he has merch So so yeah, so that's that's
- 28:32Speaker 3: the rightdown multiple streams of income people. It's it's it's
- 28:35Speaker 3: not something that is optional at this point in time,
- 28:37Speaker 3: is mandatory and it's all about being creative and understanding
- 28:41Speaker 3: how you can build different branches off of one tree.
- 28:45Speaker 3: So we're going to close it out with some education
- 28:49Speaker 3: as far as investing in different things.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Right, it's fun.
- 28:56Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're going to close it out. We're going
- 28:58Speaker 3: to close it out with something that is easy for me.
- 29:03Speaker 3: Like I said, a lot of times people don't fully understand,
- 29:05Speaker 3: Like everybody thinks do the podcast full time, but I
- 29:10Speaker 3: actually have a financial planning firm, independent firm.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Who was your first client you were, thank.
- 29:16Speaker 3: You for sure wealth wealth management firm. So that's what I
- 29:21Speaker 3: do like outside of this so so yeah, retirement planning, investing,
- 29:28Speaker 3: things of that nature. So one thing that always gets
- 29:32Speaker 3: people's attention when we talk about is the self directed IRA.
- 29:36Speaker 3: So I wanted to talk about that because you know,
- 29:37Speaker 3: we talk about real estate a lot on this show,
- 29:40Speaker 3: and we bring on different real estate investors and things
- 29:42Speaker 3: of that nature, and we always you know, have to
- 29:44Speaker 3: give people different options. So funding, when it comes to funding,
- 29:48Speaker 3: that stops a lot of people from investing in real estate.
- 29:50Speaker 3: So we you know, talk about two or three K
- 29:53Speaker 3: loans and hard money loans and conventional loans and things
- 29:56Speaker 3: of that nature. But another way that people can can
- 30:00Speaker 3: invest in real estate that not a lot of people
- 30:01Speaker 3: are fully familiar with is via their retirement account. Right,
- 30:05Speaker 3: because if you think about it, I've spoke about this before,
- 30:07Speaker 3: most for the average American middle class, American lower middle class, whatever,
- 30:13Speaker 3: they don't have a tremendous amount of money saved in
- 30:15Speaker 3: a savings account. They don't have money. They might probably
- 30:18Speaker 3: have no investment outside of retirement, like they don't have
- 30:21Speaker 3: I mean.
- 30:22Speaker 2: I know people straight up that don't know what an
- 30:24Speaker 2: IRI is.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Well, yeah that, but I'm just saying as far as
- 30:27Speaker 3: the money that they have saved is in retirement. So
- 30:32Speaker 3: it's not uncommon for a teacher to have a half
- 30:35Speaker 3: a million dollars in their pension plan or their four
- 30:39Speaker 3: or three B plan by the time they retire, or
- 30:41Speaker 3: it's not uncommon for somebody to work in corporate America
- 30:45Speaker 3: for twenty years and to have four hundred thousand dollars
- 30:49Speaker 3: or even like one hundred thousand in a couple of years,
- 30:52Speaker 3: Like it adds up. The good thing with four in
- 30:54Speaker 3: one case is that the money is taken right out
- 30:56Speaker 3: of your paycheck, so it's easy. Everybody knows it out there.
- 31:00Speaker 3: Like when you sign up for a job, they do you.
- 31:02Speaker 3: They sign you up for it, and then you've worked,
- 31:03Speaker 3: like I said, a union job, you have a pension.
- 31:05Speaker 3: People have money in retirement accounts, long story short, Yeah,
- 31:08Speaker 3: and that's the one place where a lot of people
- 31:12Speaker 3: that's like their only source of like real.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Say somebody if they're saving, they're like, yeah, I have
- 31:17Speaker 2: a four one yeah.
- 31:18Speaker 3: So what happens is that is that a lot of
- 31:19Speaker 3: times what happens I see all the time is that
- 31:22Speaker 3: people like they might leave their job or whatever, they
- 31:24Speaker 3: want to buy a home, and they have an old
- 31:26Speaker 3: retirement account like old four one K, and what they
- 31:29Speaker 3: do is that they cash it out because that's the
- 31:30Speaker 3: only real money. They cash out their four one K
- 31:34Speaker 3: and they use that for a down payment or they
- 31:35Speaker 3: use that to buy a home. The problem with that
- 31:37Speaker 3: is that now not only do you deplete your retirement account,
- 31:40Speaker 3: but you get taxed crazy. Like if you take money
- 31:42Speaker 3: out of a retirement account, but for fifty nine and
- 31:44Speaker 3: a half from all resignment accounts, you pay a ten
- 31:47Speaker 3: percent penalty, you pay state tax, and you pay federal tax.
- 31:50Speaker 3: So you could be paying up to fifty to fifty
- 31:51Speaker 3: five percent of the money in taxes. Right, So that's
- 31:55Speaker 3: that's a lot of money that's you're liable.
- 31:57Speaker 2: With this house man.
- 31:59Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's important to understand that. So a lot
- 32:03Speaker 3: of times people don't fully understand that you can actually
- 32:06Speaker 3: use retirement money to actually purchase property. Right, So how
- 32:10Speaker 3: you do that is via what's called a self directed eye.
- 32:13Speaker 4: So before we go there, right, because this is important,
- 32:15Speaker 4: what's the difference between an IRA and a self directed IRA?
- 32:19Speaker 3: So, all right, an IRA is what it stands for
- 32:22Speaker 3: is then individual retirement account.
- 32:23Speaker 4: Right.
- 32:23Speaker 3: I think we spoke about this in another episode one time.
- 32:25Speaker 3: But so IRA can be set up to two different ways.
- 32:28Speaker 3: You can set an IRA up just with money out
- 32:30Speaker 3: of your pocket, and like you can fund it every year.
- 32:33Speaker 3: Like if you are self employed, or if your job
- 32:36Speaker 3: doesn't have a four one K, or if you make
- 32:38Speaker 3: under a certain amount of money, you can just put
- 32:39Speaker 3: money to an IRA every year. Right now, you put
- 32:42Speaker 3: like six thousand dollars on IRA.
- 32:43Speaker 2: There's a max on it. Yeah, for the year.
- 32:45Speaker 3: Okay, But now what's very populous, what's called the IRA rollover.
- 32:50Speaker 3: So when you what happens is that now you leave
- 32:52Speaker 3: your job, right, and now you have an old four
- 32:54Speaker 3: one K, an old pension plan, an old four three
- 32:58Speaker 3: B whatever TDA, whatever it, and you can roll that
- 33:02Speaker 3: into an IRA. Right. So the reason why it's called
- 33:05Speaker 3: the rollover is that it's going from one what's called
- 33:08Speaker 3: tax qualified vehicle to another tax qualified vehicle. You're not
- 33:10Speaker 3: paying taxes on it for your retirement. The only difference
- 33:13Speaker 3: is that the four one K is set up by
- 33:15Speaker 3: your job. The IRA is set up individually. You can
- 33:17Speaker 3: set up you know, with a bank or through a
- 33:19Speaker 3: financial advisor or you know online, there's different ways to
- 33:23Speaker 3: set it up.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Right.
- 33:24Speaker 3: So most of the time when when people do IRA rollovers,
- 33:28Speaker 3: they're rolling into what's called the traditional IRA. Traditional IRA
- 33:33Speaker 3: is investing in more traditional investments stocks, stocks, mutual funds,
- 33:38Speaker 3: things of that nature. Right, So it's invested in the
- 33:42Speaker 3: stock market, in bonds, things of that nature, and it
- 33:44Speaker 3: grows over the cost of time. So let's say you
- 33:46Speaker 3: had a job you work at at and T for
- 33:49Speaker 3: fifteen years. You have one hundred thousand dollars in a
- 33:51Speaker 3: four oneth can you left you left? So now when
- 33:53Speaker 3: you leave your job, the four one k is pretty
- 33:55Speaker 3: much frozen in the sense not frozen way. It's not growing.
- 33:57Speaker 3: It's still growing relative to have any investments do, but
- 34:01Speaker 3: you can't borrow from it, right, you can't add money
- 34:04Speaker 3: to it, you don't have any advice on it. You're
- 34:06Speaker 3: not you're not working there anymore. A lot of times
- 34:08Speaker 3: people move and they don't update the address, so it
- 34:11Speaker 3: becomes difficult to manage if you're not working there anymore.
- 34:13Speaker 3: So this is why a rollover is so appealing because
- 34:15Speaker 3: now you get to pick and choose your investments. You
- 34:17Speaker 3: can add money to the IRA if you want, You
- 34:20Speaker 3: can work with somebody that can help you out, like
- 34:22Speaker 3: an advisor and things of that nature. So that's that's
- 34:24Speaker 3: what that's what the IRA is, just taking control over
- 34:26Speaker 3: the money. So now you have that, you have it
- 34:29Speaker 3: in the i RA, all right, So now as it's
- 34:32Speaker 3: in the i RA, it can be invested in like
- 34:36Speaker 3: let's say it's invested in mutual funds, right or an
- 34:38Speaker 3: annuity or whatever. It was just the regular IR traditional
- 34:41Speaker 3: So the money's invested, you're not paying any taxes on
- 34:44Speaker 3: it as long as it stays in And it's just
- 34:47Speaker 3: like how it would be with your four one K,
- 34:48Speaker 3: except you're kind of picking choosing investments for yourself. Okay,
- 34:51Speaker 3: So it's that's the easy So if.
- 34:53Speaker 4: I'm not picking it, then it would be a financial
- 34:56Speaker 4: advisor or like I saw, like a custodian.
- 34:58Speaker 3: Most of the time, it's a through like somebody will
- 35:01Speaker 3: help you out with it. So whether that be a
- 35:03Speaker 3: financial advisor, whether that be somebody at a bank, credit union,
- 35:08Speaker 3: or you know. Usually you can do it yourself too
- 35:10Speaker 3: if you go online like you can fidelity, but a
- 35:14Speaker 3: lot of times people just don't feel comfortable doing the
- 35:15Speaker 3: things themselves. They might want help, so somebody will help
- 35:19Speaker 3: you out with it that they'll you know, kind of
- 35:21Speaker 3: guide you on like what makes sense, this is a
- 35:23Speaker 3: good investment, and this is the reasons why things that nature.
- 35:26Speaker 3: So that's what most people do, like probably like ninety
- 35:28Speaker 3: five percent of people, they'll roll at money into a
- 35:30Speaker 3: traditional IRA. But another option that you have is that
- 35:33Speaker 3: you can roll into what's called the self directed IRA. So,
- 35:37Speaker 3: so traditional IRIS allows you to invest in traditional investments.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Like like I just said, the self directed IRA allows
- 35:41Speaker 3: you to invest in a broad range of different things.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Everything from bitcoin to commodities. Is a bunch of possibilities,
- 35:50Speaker 3: all kinds of different stuff.
- 35:51Speaker 4: And one of the things, so somebody said, like you
- 35:53Speaker 4: can invest in a horse holding firm.
- 35:56Speaker 3: Yeah, you can invest in all kinds of different things
- 35:57Speaker 3: with the self directed IRA. And one of the most
- 36:00Speaker 3: popular things that people use self directed IRA is for
- 36:02Speaker 3: is real estate. So a self directed IRA allows you
- 36:05Speaker 3: to invest money in real estate. Right, So what happens
- 36:07Speaker 3: is that you have one hundred thousand dollars and instead
- 36:10Speaker 3: of like if you don't roll into a traditional IRA,
- 36:12Speaker 3: you can roll it into a self directed IRA. Now
- 36:14Speaker 3: that self directed IRA, you can buy a home, or
- 36:17Speaker 3: you can buy an apartment or whatever, or use that
- 36:19Speaker 3: money to you know, buy different forms of real estate.
- 36:22Speaker 3: And the money's not tax because the whole point of
- 36:24Speaker 3: keeping it within the IRA is that you avoid you're
- 36:26Speaker 3: avoiding paying tax tax when you take it out, or
- 36:29Speaker 3: tax when you take it out when you when you
- 36:30Speaker 3: take receipt of it, we call taking receipt of the
- 36:33Speaker 3: money right, so like when you take receipt of it,
- 36:35Speaker 3: that's when the money goes see a bank account, like
- 36:37Speaker 3: when you physically receive it. As long as it's under
- 36:39Speaker 3: the umbrella of the IRA, you never actually have you
- 36:42Speaker 3: don't have receipt of it, so you're not paying any
- 36:46Speaker 3: taxes on it. That's the benefit of rolling a fall
- 36:48Speaker 3: one came to an IRA and keeping it in the IRA. Right,
- 36:51Speaker 3: you're not paying any taxes. Whenever you take money out,
- 36:53Speaker 3: you're going to get taxed. If you take it out prematurely,
- 36:55Speaker 3: you get a ten percent penalty tax. But at any
- 36:58Speaker 3: point in time you take money out of an IRA
- 37:00Speaker 3: or four to one kre, you pay a state and
- 37:01Speaker 3: federal tax, the federal taxes with federal tax bracket you're
- 37:04Speaker 3: in at that time, and the state tax depending on
- 37:07Speaker 3: what state tax with state you're in, and it's treated
- 37:09Speaker 3: like ordinary income.
- 37:10Speaker 2: And you can borrow that.
- 37:11Speaker 4: At any time, but just know that there's gonna be
- 37:12Speaker 4: a penalty borrow What you can borrow money from the.
- 37:15Speaker 3: IRA, you can't borrow money from the IRA. You can
- 37:17Speaker 3: take money once a year from the IRA, but it's
- 37:19Speaker 3: a sixty day rule where you got to put the
- 37:20Speaker 3: money back in.
- 37:21Speaker 2: Okay, good enough.
- 37:22Speaker 3: So what happens is that with the self directed IRA,
- 37:27Speaker 3: right now you can use that money stays in the IRA,
- 37:31Speaker 3: but you can buy a real estate. So like, let's
- 37:33Speaker 3: say you used one hundred thousand and you bought a home,
- 37:35Speaker 3: used all of it to buy a home for one
- 37:37Speaker 3: hundred thousand in cash. Right, So now that one hundred
- 37:40Speaker 3: thousand is pretty much like your retirement So the one
- 37:42Speaker 3: hundred thousand rolls to two hundred thousand over the course
- 37:46Speaker 3: of time. You're not paying any taxes as it's growing, right,
- 37:49Speaker 3: So you sell that home. Now you made one hundred
- 37:51Speaker 3: thousand dollar profit. Right Now, you put that back into
- 37:55Speaker 3: the self directed IRA. Now it's not taxable. Now you
- 37:57Speaker 3: have two hundred thousand dollars. Now you can buy more
- 37:59Speaker 3: real estate or you can invest something else. Right. So
- 38:03Speaker 3: it's another way to invest in real estate with your
- 38:06Speaker 3: retirement account as opposed to investing with like a lot
- 38:10Speaker 3: of times people think that they have to cash out
- 38:11Speaker 3: their retirement to invest in real estate because most iras
- 38:15Speaker 3: will not allow you to invest in real estate. It's
- 38:17Speaker 3: not for self directed IRA.
- 38:19Speaker 4: All right, So what's the process of setting up an IRA,
- 38:21Speaker 4: because it's you're doing it yourself.
- 38:22Speaker 2: I'm assuming right, self directed.
- 38:23Speaker 3: Self directed IRA. Yeah, So the process is set up,
- 38:26Speaker 3: the process is set up a IRA. Period. This is
- 38:28Speaker 3: the process is set up an IRA. You do an
- 38:31Speaker 3: application for the IRA company, right, So now that that
- 38:36Speaker 3: sets up your IRA account. Like let's say you set
- 38:38Speaker 3: up an IRA with Franklin Simpleton. Right, you're doing an
- 38:41Speaker 3: application with Franklin Simpleton and you're setting up an IRA. Right. Now,
- 38:47Speaker 3: you have an IRA number, let's say it's one three,
- 38:49Speaker 3: five seven zero. That's your IRA number. You have an account.
- 38:52Speaker 3: All of that stuff is set up, but it's not
- 38:54Speaker 3: funded yet. So what happens is that now you have
- 38:57Speaker 3: to do a conference call with the fall one K company.
- 39:00Speaker 3: Actual is the easiest way you do a conference call.
- 39:02Speaker 3: And usually like you do with your advisor, if you're
- 39:04Speaker 3: working with an advisor, and like most companies nowadays, like
- 39:08Speaker 3: it's Fidelity, they'll do it over the phone where they
- 39:11Speaker 3: can initiate the transfer over the phone. So you say, okay,
- 39:14Speaker 3: I have an IRA, I want to roll my old
- 39:16Speaker 3: four one K into an IRA and they ask you, like,
- 39:19Speaker 3: who's the check made out to. You'll say like Franklin
- 39:21Speaker 3: for John Doe. Franklin Templeton for a benefit of John Doe, right,
- 39:26Speaker 3: and they say, like, what's the address. Most a lot
- 39:28Speaker 3: of times they'll send it directly to your house or
- 39:29Speaker 3: sometimes they'll turn it to the company, but they'll cut
- 39:32Speaker 3: the check. They'll do it over the phone and they'll
- 39:33Speaker 3: cut the check and then you deposit that until your
- 39:35Speaker 3: IRA account and now your IRA is funded. Right. Sometimes
- 39:38Speaker 3: some companies have paperwork where they have like their own
- 39:41Speaker 3: paperwork and you fill out the paperwork, you send it
- 39:43Speaker 3: back to the company and then they send the check.
- 39:46Speaker 3: So it depends either they do it with the phone
- 39:47Speaker 3: or the paperwork. But that's how you set the IRA up.
- 39:49Speaker 3: It's very simple. It's at the IRA up it's too.
- 39:51Speaker 3: It's two part process. You have an application and then
- 39:53Speaker 3: you contact the company and you tell the company where
- 39:55Speaker 3: it's send the money to. Pretty much that's how you
- 39:57Speaker 3: set the IRA up. So when it's self directed IRA,
- 40:01Speaker 3: it's the same process. It's just that there's less companies.
- 40:05Speaker 3: There's like mostly trust companies that do this. So like
- 40:08Speaker 3: with IRA. There's a bunch of hundreds, probably a thousand
- 40:14Speaker 3: companies that you can do IRA where it's very very
- 40:16Speaker 3: common traditional IRA. Everything from insurance companies to investment companies
- 40:21Speaker 3: to banks, credit unions. You can set up IRA up
- 40:23Speaker 3: with pretty much any financial institution. You can set up
- 40:25Speaker 3: a traditional IRA up right, But there's a limited amount
- 40:28Speaker 3: of companies that do self directed iras.
- 40:31Speaker 2: Right.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Well, it's just it's just less, you know, I guess
- 40:34Speaker 3: it's just it's might be I'm not really sure, but
- 40:37Speaker 3: probably I'm sure is more involved.
- 40:40Speaker 4: I mean, when I'm listening to it, it sounds like
- 40:42Speaker 4: this is like one of them things like this is
- 40:43Speaker 4: strictly for love, man, Like this is not something that
- 40:45Speaker 4: the average person.
- 40:47Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna get to that. We're gonna get to
- 40:49Speaker 3: that the pros and cons, because there's constant like everything
- 40:51Speaker 3: in life. Well, like just a few companies that I'm
- 40:53Speaker 3: not endorsing any companies because I don't work with I
- 40:56Speaker 3: don't set up self directed iras for people, but just
- 40:58Speaker 3: to kind of give you, like if you google all
- 41:00Speaker 3: directed IRA is, there's a lot of companies that will
- 41:01Speaker 3: come up, so like Equity Trust, goal Star Trust and
- 41:05Speaker 3: Trust Group. Those are different companies, but like I said,
- 41:08Speaker 3: you could just google and do your own research, not
- 41:10Speaker 3: to give those companies like any endorsement, but that's just
- 41:14Speaker 3: that's just yeah, that's just that's just a couple of
- 41:16Speaker 3: companies name.
- 41:17Speaker 2: But when would be a good time to consider doing
- 41:19Speaker 2: the self director.
- 41:19Speaker 3: So before we even get to that, So how you
- 41:21Speaker 3: set up the self directed IRA is that you you
- 41:24Speaker 3: go online or you contact them and you set it
- 41:27Speaker 3: up with them and they'll walk you through the process
- 41:31Speaker 3: of like who the chech needs to be made out
- 41:33Speaker 3: to you, to give you an account number and all
- 41:34Speaker 3: of that. So it's the same thing I just explained,
- 41:37Speaker 3: but you have to do it this to yourself as
- 41:39Speaker 3: opposed to like a lot of times with the i
- 41:41Speaker 3: RA you have help because it it ovis that will
- 41:43Speaker 3: help you out with yeah most of the time. But
- 41:46Speaker 3: in this process you're gonna have to like kind of
- 41:48Speaker 3: navigate this yourself. So of course you want to be
- 41:49Speaker 3: probably educated, you want to do your research, but the
- 41:53Speaker 3: thing with the show is just to provide information. It's
- 41:56Speaker 3: not to say to do one thing or another, but
- 41:58Speaker 3: it's just to provide information. So there's some drawbacks with
- 42:02Speaker 3: the I with self directed IRA, because the thing with
- 42:04Speaker 3: the self directing IR, like, if you have a regular
- 42:06Speaker 3: IRA right now, the money is invested in the stock market,
- 42:10Speaker 3: you don't really have to do anything like I mean,
- 42:12Speaker 3: you can just monitor it and make sure you're in
- 42:14Speaker 3: a good fund or a good investment, but it's not
- 42:17Speaker 3: gonna cost you like money, right Like if you buy
- 42:21Speaker 3: a real estate property, if you buy a home right now,
- 42:25Speaker 3: you buy that home for one hundred thousand dollars, but
- 42:27Speaker 3: you just it's not a huge just let that go.
- 42:29Speaker 3: Because now the boiler might break, right so now you
- 42:32Speaker 3: gotta pay money to fix the boiler. Or the house
- 42:36Speaker 3: might need to be painted. Now you gotta pay money
- 42:38Speaker 3: to fix this upkeeping the house. No matter what, there's
- 42:40Speaker 3: still upkeep. You gotta cut the grass. There's always gonna
- 42:42Speaker 3: be something. So it's gonna cost you money, exactly. It's
- 42:45Speaker 3: important for people to understand that it's buying a house is
- 42:48Speaker 3: gonna cost you money without like there's no way around it.
- 42:53Speaker 3: So when you have your retirement account tied into that,
- 42:55Speaker 3: a lot of times people you know, you're not investing
- 42:58Speaker 3: your fall one K into an IR, a regular IRA
- 43:01Speaker 3: with the expectation that you're gonna have to pay five
- 43:03Speaker 3: thousand dollars a year just to keep up that IRA.
- 43:06Speaker 3: There's fees involved with an IRA, but that's taken out
- 43:09Speaker 3: of the amount. It's not like you're coming out of
- 43:12Speaker 3: your pocket with a house. Is different, right. Also, a
- 43:16Speaker 3: lot of times people buy homes and the especially with
- 43:20Speaker 3: investment properties, they're doing that to actually have income. So
- 43:24Speaker 3: they buy a home and they want to have income
- 43:25Speaker 3: come from that right to like support their lifestyle. But
- 43:29Speaker 3: any money that you generate from the self directed IRA
- 43:32Speaker 3: property has to go back into the self directed IRA.
- 43:34Speaker 3: If it doesn't, then you get taxed on it. So
- 43:37Speaker 3: that's also important for people to understand. It's more of
- 43:39Speaker 3: a long term play.
- 43:41Speaker 4: So, like I said, so that's not like obviously your
- 43:44Speaker 4: primary residence, I'm assuming primary residence.
- 43:46Speaker 2: What when you're investing in the real estate or could
- 43:48Speaker 2: it be.
- 43:48Speaker 3: No, it could be anything. It doesn't have to be
- 43:49Speaker 3: a primary residence. It could be a rental, it could
- 43:51Speaker 3: be a primary it could be different different things. But
- 43:54Speaker 3: it's just like all things in life. You want to
- 43:56Speaker 3: put together game plan, you want to put together game plan,
- 43:58Speaker 3: you want to be fully knowledgeable. But like I said,
- 44:01Speaker 3: at the whole point of the podcast is just to
- 44:03Speaker 3: give information and then from the information that you can
- 44:07Speaker 3: decipher and say, okay, this makes sense. But a lot
- 44:09Speaker 3: of times we're forcing to doing things because we just
- 44:12Speaker 3: we don't know. So for most people, the self directed
- 44:16Speaker 3: IRA probably wouldn't be the best fit because it's more

- 44:26Speaker 3: let people. I spoke about that in a few different settings,
- 44:30Speaker 3: like live settings, and it's always get it always gets
- 44:32Speaker 3: a good reaction. So I wanted to cover that in
- 44:35Speaker 3: a podcast, and I knew that you know today obviously
