- 2:49[SPEAKER_02]: But at 23 years old, love forced him to confront the man.
- 2:54[SPEAKER_02]: He was becoming and potential, he was wasting.

- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, sir, yes, man.
- 4:12[SPEAKER_02]: I appreciate you, man.
- 4:13[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for having me.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_02]: So, so we go back, we go back, uh, pre-COVID, pre, uh, going viral, you like, you like, you were viral for viral.
- 4:22[SPEAKER_02]: So before that was even a term, um, you know, you were viral for viral.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_00]: uh... you would uh... you would uh... the relationship cause before the relationship coaches the light coaches before the light coaches uh... but for those who don't know you for those who may never heard it's only gaskers before who is telling the gaskers and you know what your audience who comes in the financial space that's the space that i don't touch and you know having really spoke on that so i know they don't know who i am and the quotes you know it floats around on
- 4:57[SPEAKER_00]: I've had people coming to me and like, hey, um, you told me, you guys can say, I thought it was an old dead white man.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, that's my quote.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_00]: But I really was pushed into this space just out of not even purpose at first.
- 5:14[SPEAKER_00]: I was lost because I didn't know what to be because growing up, you could be a drug dealer.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_00]: you could be a pro athlete or you could be overworked and underpaid and so I tried to be a pro athlete.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_00]: I went to college on the full football scholarship.
- 5:31[SPEAKER_00]: I was running back and got into the ladies.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_00]: Got distracted three years into that scholarship.
- 5:38[SPEAKER_00]: I got kicked off.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_00]: So I had to go home, thousand miles, and then I was in school, but I kind of got into the streets.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_00]: And so I was dealing with doubt in the streets, even while I was in school, because that's what I saw, that's what I saw, what I knew, that's where the money was.
- 5:55[SPEAKER_00]: And so I was messing around like that, and then I met my wife.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_00]: And when I met my wife, I met at 21, ran off in a couple of months.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_00]: We bumped back in each other six months later and been together ever since.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_00]: And so she told me, she said, I refuse to be with a drug dealer.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_00]: She said, I'm working with a girl right now.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_00]: We both work at a group home.
- 6:21[SPEAKER_00]: Her guy just got seven years.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_00]: Same thing going happen to you if you keep planning the streets.
- 6:30[SPEAKER_00]: After marriage, probably we got married more sturdier about June, I got a little bit of work from my cousin went back to the street and he told me he said, you too, huh?
- 6:42[SPEAKER_01]: You ain't gonna be complaining when there's money coming to the house, so I said that.
- 6:46[SPEAKER_00]: didn't go over well.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_00]: She walked and she was going for three days.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: I'm calling her all day long back the back.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_00]: She finally answered the phone.
- 6:55[SPEAKER_00]: She said, listen, I'm gonna get you one more chance.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_00]: But you cannot be in the streets.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that my son was in the intensive care unit is our son.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: He was born two and a half months early.
- 7:11[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 7:14[SPEAKER_00]: when he in intensive care unit.
- 7:17[SPEAKER_00]: And she really doesn't have stable income.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_00]: And we just got married two, three months ago, I'm like, this woman in the real deal.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm gonna have to do right or I'm gonna lose my family.
- 7:30[SPEAKER_00]: And I always wanted that more than anything because my father was in the house with me.
- 7:35[SPEAKER_00]: And he raised my sister and I, with my mom.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_00]: And so I wanted that family unit.
- 7:40[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 7:40[SPEAKER_00]: And that's really what pushed me to my guilt.
- 7:43[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 7:44[SPEAKER_02]: Talk about the family dynamic for a second though, because I know your dad was a pastor.
- 7:50[SPEAKER_02]: And so raising you and your sibling and seeing sort of like a righteous man
- 7:58[SPEAKER_02]: How does that push you into the streets?
- 8:00[SPEAKER_02]: What, like, what, what could possibly be so annoying that you're like, you're, I wanna live this street life, right?
- 8:08[SPEAKER_02]: And with a scholarship, like, so whether like, whether like you, you're like,
- 8:12[SPEAKER_00]: Wait till 18 like dry and that's why I waited till 18 because in my house it was very strict Yeah, and it was really too strict.
- 8:21[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't watch a PG-13 movie.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't listen to R&B.
- 8:27[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 8:27[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't listen to rap music.
- 8:29[SPEAKER_00]: So it was so strict.
- 8:32[SPEAKER_00]: that it was like, I rebel to explore to learn because my dad didn't allow anything, because his mentality, I was like, what that?
- 8:42[SPEAKER_00]: Can I listen to secular music without cursing?
- 8:44[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 8:45[SPEAKER_00]: He say, well, if you do that, then you're going to want to listen to a song with one curse word.
- 8:50[SPEAKER_00]: then you go on list of some of two curse words.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_00]: And so I had a sneak in listen to Jagged Edge.
- 8:57[SPEAKER_00]: You know, let's take cassette on the floor.
- 9:00[SPEAKER_00]: And it was, I really was looking at what's making money.
- 9:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Tracy McGradie is from Urbandale, Florida where I'm from.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_00]: It's a town of 5,000 people, so I seen that make money and then my cousin was like the biggest old boy and I seen that make money.
- 9:19[SPEAKER_00]: Trace is great at 68.
- 9:19[SPEAKER_00]: I'm 5, 10.
- 9:22[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, okay, let me go this route, but I didn't really get too heavy in it because I was smarter than what I was doing.
- 9:32[SPEAKER_00]: And I knew that.
- 9:33[SPEAKER_00]: And so it was a situation to where it's like, I'm not done, but I want to go see what this is about.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: So it really honestly, I was kind of what I could call with an undercover agent.
- 9:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, it's like I went to learn about it.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_00]: So I could preach about it.
- 9:51[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 9:51[SPEAKER_00]: So that I could have that in role and that relatability.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 9:56[SPEAKER_00]: But I never really went all the way in because I knew it was a dead end and I grew up around it, but it was almost like
- 10:05[SPEAKER_00]: As men a lot of times, we feel like we have to have those stripes.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_00]: Like we have to have some type of street story in order to be a man.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_00]: And then see the how many women or how much money.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_00]: And that's where your respect come from from other men.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_00]: So for me, it was the women.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_00]: And then I did a streak thing just kind of on the side messing around to where even my friends that I was close with, they didn't even get in the streets.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_00]: You know, my other friends had they got not away earlier.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_00]: And so, but my guys that I was like around, they're my smoke weed, but they weren't going to sell it.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_00]: And so I just was more adventurous.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_00]: I was more daring and I also was raised
- 10:50[SPEAKER_00]: My father became a pastor when I was 14 and he always talked to me at his level and he's 20 years older than me so I always thought way far beyond my age group and
- 11:06[SPEAKER_00]: It made it boring and it made it slow.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_00]: So I did the things I did because I felt like deep down I have a better understanding of what's going on and I'd be okay.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_00]: Fortunately, I was right, but it was a risk that I took but it let me know when I went the right way.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_00]: I said to myself, if I'm willing to risk my life,
- 11:31[SPEAKER_00]: like having a bullet put in my head, risk my freedom.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_00]: What can I lose in a clean game?
- 11:41[SPEAKER_00]: Being 100% integral and everything I'm doing is legal.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_00]: And I took that hostless ambition to my purpose.
- 11:53[SPEAKER_02]: fast forward and I will go back to the story, but as somebody who, so, you know, you've been you started that, you know, you got married at 23 years old, it's obvious that your wife kind of pushed you into your greatness, you know, even though as great as you are, there's still more that needs to be developed, if you will, right?
- 12:17[SPEAKER_02]: Because I believe as long as you have
- 12:22[SPEAKER_02]: You've impacted millions of people, you know, you've, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,
- 12:48[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely would be in prison or the grave, because the women before my wife reinforced everything I did wrong, they pat me on the back, they stayed.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_00]: If I was toxic, they would give more sex.
- 13:06[SPEAKER_00]: If I was in the streets, they would clap it up, oh look at that, look at that, bank roll.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_00]: And they reinforced it.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_00]: and I'm putting the gloves on, give them a mask.
- 13:22[SPEAKER_00]: And the girl I'm dating, she was like, be careful.
- 13:25[SPEAKER_00]: My wife would never do that.
- 13:27[SPEAKER_00]: She would never do that.
- 13:28[SPEAKER_00]: She would never do that.
- 13:29[SPEAKER_00]: And then the girl after that, I went and visited her in Atlanta.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_00]: And she was living in Atlanta.
- 13:36[SPEAKER_00]: She was going to spend the spend.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_00]: And I had a bank roll from the streets.
- 13:42[SPEAKER_00]: Cainhood apartment in aluminum put it on a dress-less.
- 13:45[SPEAKER_01]: She was like, oh look at you a bit She reinforced it.
- 13:49[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but then my wife Try the same thing.
- 13:53[SPEAKER_00]: She walked out and so that showed me like okay This is a real woman.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and this is requiring Excellence and greatness from me.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and she's calling something out of me
- 14:10[SPEAKER_00]: that I know is in me, that my parents tried to get out of me, but couldn't.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_00]: And this is where I want to be.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_00]: And I think a lot of women don't realize that, that men respect accountability, and seeing her back walking out the door, didn't hurt just patting them on the back, rubbing on the head and supporting them in his mess.
- 14:33[SPEAKER_00]: and I think we get that confused because as men lots on we'll push that line and we want to break you.
- 14:39[SPEAKER_00]: We want to see what all are you going to let me get away with.
- 14:42[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 14:42[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 14:42[SPEAKER_00]: And they want us to real ourselves in but it's just not how life works.
- 14:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_02]: What do you see?
- 14:50[SPEAKER_02]: Like, what's your opinion of the landscape now, the relationship landscape, because, you know, again, I'm from a similar era that you're from where there was more respectful women, I mean, you know, we had those moments to
- 15:05[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the Snoop Dogg era, like to call it where, you know, we would disrespect for the women and things that at nature, whatever, but there was still sort of like a balance, if you will, there was still a, there was still in a toxic way, there was still a respectful women.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_02]: What do you see the landscape is now because I don't see too many relationships.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_02]: I don't see, like, like, I mean, if you look online, it looks like the fellows behave with the fellows, the girls behave like the girls, like, like, like, like, what do you see as the, the landscape and, um, currently and, and was, was right with it or was wrong with it?
- 15:45[SPEAKER_00]: I see me, I look at everything through a spiritual lens in the sense of I see it as spiritual warfare.
- 15:52[SPEAKER_00]: I see it as an attack on our economy and attack on our family and this invention that we're using.
- 16:03[SPEAKER_00]: in front of our mouth is the worst thing that has happened to relationships because now every broken person, every confused person has a microphone and they're giving their opinion from their pain, from their childhood trauma and even though it scams and crooks in the financial space, I wish everybody would join you.
- 16:26[SPEAKER_00]: in the financial space and leave the relationship space because it's destroying us and the thing about it is put a microphone in front of a man or a woman who was
- 16:41[SPEAKER_00]: taking advantage of as a young age, at a young age and never got therapy, that's a nightmare.
- 16:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_00]: That is a nightmare because they're going to drive a wedge between men and women because they're still screaming and hurting and crying on the inside, but they're sitting with a microphone looking like they're confident, sounding poetic and eloquent.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_00]: Like they know what they're talking about.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_00]: There's a little boy or a little girl inside of them that is still tucked in the corner of their closet, shivering and shaking and crying from what just happened to them.
- 17:22[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what the people online cannot see.
- 17:26[SPEAKER_00]: But me being a coach and having gone behind old scenes,
- 17:31[SPEAKER_00]: When I see them, that's what I see.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why I have to come at them so aggressively because they're coming with all of this air in their chest.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_01]: This is the way India, this is the way it should be.
- 17:47[SPEAKER_00]: And they're leading tens of thousands, some of them hundreds of thousands, some of them millions of stray.
- 17:54[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know, it's funny because I was just watching a podcast and it was a group of people who never made money before, who were given an opinion about what they would do if they had money.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_02]: And I, you, I've run to the comments, like I go to the comments and I look and I said as somebody who was once what them meaning that you're not grew up in the projects single pair of home, you know low income.
- 18:25[SPEAKER_02]: But as somebody who has, you know, thank God generated millions of dollars as an entrepreneur, I'm saying, you know, you don't know what you're talking about.
- 18:33[SPEAKER_02]: like you don't know what you're talking about.
- 18:35[SPEAKER_02]: And the fact that you're speaking life to you're making an assumption and it sounds, it sounds logical, right?
- 18:44[SPEAKER_02]: Like they literally are like you're
- 18:47[SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't want it, they say they said this out there.
- 18:49[SPEAKER_02]: Mom, they say I don't want to make millions of dollars because if I make millions of dollars, it's going to change me in a way that I'm going to be unrecognizable and this is what people who make millions of dollars do.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm sending it and I'm saying and they're like, and they're like affirming
- 19:07[SPEAKER_02]: Um, poverty, if you will, they're affirming like, you know, yeah, the yellow paper, the page I guess I'll live a decent like, but I just only want to get to this certain level because of XYZ.
- 19:18[SPEAKER_02]: I say that to say like to what to your point, it's like I'm watching somebody who's never had the experience ever.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_02]: and then they're actually giving advice about this experience that's wrong and they sound so right that they think they're doing something noble but they're hurting people because now people are going to
- 19:44[SPEAKER_02]: be signaling to the University, singling to God, hey, I don't want all of this.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_02]: I just want XYZ, same thing.
- 19:52[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, I've been married for 20 years now and I same question I asked you, I know that I would not be here.
- 20:02[SPEAKER_02]: Like know it, there's nothing in my mind that would tell me, I would be here if my wife didn't come to snatch me about the streets too, right?
- 20:12[SPEAKER_02]: And so I know the power of a strong relationship, I know the power of being married, but I hear single people.
- 20:21[SPEAKER_02]: give relationship advice about being married, about, you know, having a strong one and all stuff and it's dangerous, it's dangerous.
- 20:28[SPEAKER_02]: How do we fix that, brother?
- 20:29[SPEAKER_02]: Like, is there a fix?
- 20:31[SPEAKER_02]: Like, we can't take the microphones away.
- 20:34[SPEAKER_02]: We can't call sure and be like, you know, stop selling podcasts, Mike.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_02]: Um, what's the, what's the fix to it?
- 20:40[SPEAKER_00]: we are the fix.
- 20:41[SPEAKER_00]: I runically what we're doing is the fix.
- 20:45[SPEAKER_00]: And we have to do more of it.
- 20:47[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that we have to realize that everything coincides together.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_00]: Like everything we got to have marriage and money.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: and we got to bring the two together.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_00]: And so the finance podcast won't just talk about finance.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_00]: And then the relationship podcast won't just talk about relationships.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_00]: When we really need to bring them together and cross that street and show like, hey, this is here's two black men who both have been married for 20 years.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_00]: who both say our wife is the reason, part of the reason why we are, where we are and who we are, and we both have earned millions of dollars, whereas when we meet, single men.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_00]: Our age, unless they do us some illegal, they have not made millions of dollars.
- 21:41[SPEAKER_00]: We might meet one or two, but a lot of it is fraudulent.
- 21:47[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's like we can go further together.
- 21:52[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not about putting a man on a pedestal, putting a woman on a pedestal.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_00]: It's saying we are intended to be together.
- 22:00[SPEAKER_00]: One hand washed the other, both hands washed the face.
- 22:04[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like when we realize if we can have stronger and better relationships, we're also gonna make more money.
- 22:13[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.
- 22:14[SPEAKER_00]: And I taught them my wife, she is like a mentor.
- 22:20[SPEAKER_00]: She's like a coach, a therapist, or whatever, and I'm all of those things for her.
- 22:24[SPEAKER_00]: And then we have our circle outside of each other.
- 22:28[SPEAKER_00]: And she just helped me launch a new seminar series.
- 22:32[SPEAKER_00]: And I was struggling, you know, the ticket $500.
- 22:37[SPEAKER_00]: My seminar $25.
- 22:39[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm going through another level.
- 22:41[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm teaching some proprietary.
- 22:44[SPEAKER_00]: And she said, no, believe in yourself.
- 22:46[SPEAKER_00]: Do it.
- 22:47[SPEAKER_00]: Launch it.
- 22:48[SPEAKER_00]: I did it.
- 22:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 22:50[SPEAKER_00]: Ticket sales role in the end.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone coming in, I sent it to a baby.
- 22:53[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody else bought a ticket.
- 22:54[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody, I'm like, you was right.
- 22:56[SPEAKER_00]: But if I was just a single man, stuck in my own head, it would have went totally different.
- 23:03[SPEAKER_00]: So we are the solution.
- 23:06[SPEAKER_00]: And I love what you said because who you talking about, Mike, they're gonna see this because of the algorithm.
- 23:12[SPEAKER_00]: and they're gonna see he just called it me verbatim right he didn't disrespect me yep he didn't call me he didn't call my name but he talking to me yeah i need to think about what he's saying yeah i need to book a session with him and see how is he still so humble after generating millions of dogs yeah
- 23:30[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 23:31[SPEAKER_00]: And what do I need to shift my mind set on?
- 23:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 23:33[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what we got to be willing.
- 23:35[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 23:35[SPEAKER_02]: And I love that because I think that, you know, from my vantage point being on both sides to your point, we need more people to experience this side.
- 23:48[SPEAKER_02]: Don't make, you know, it's like, um, you know, there's the the the silent majority.
- 23:58[SPEAKER_02]: and then there's the vocal minority and unfortunately the vocal minority gets all of the attention because because they're vocal because they're you know again they're the minority but they're vocal so a lot of would be whatever whether it's relationship or make money or
- 24:26[SPEAKER_02]: give validated what they don't know gets validated and then they take that as truth and it stops them from from trying and it stops them from fulfilling their their God purpose you know because each of us have like I can't do what's only asking stuff.
- 24:46[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but I can't do what you do.
- 24:48[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
- 24:48[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
- 24:48[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm 100% comfortable being ash cash, Exansis because that's who God made me to be and my story fits exactly how I, you know, present myself.
- 25:00[SPEAKER_02]: And so all of the other people who have these,
- 25:03[SPEAKER_02]: Gifts, they have not used them their gifts and they have not used their gifts to monetize, you have like multiple streams of income, multiple companies, you know, since your early 20s, talk a little bit about how you've been able to learn how to monetize your gift not only just like, you know, because I remember again before before Chad GBT,
- 25:28[SPEAKER_02]: Right, a Tony Gaskin quote is going gets you through right like you can actually Hey, give me some inspiration like you had the five Tony Gaskin And so you know you think it's something simple as being able to just put out quotes But you've been able to monetize that and then even more like talk a little bit about about your framework like how have you learned All right, I'm gonna do what God call me to do.
- 25:49[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna love doing it But I'm also gonna make millions of dollars doing it
- 25:55[SPEAKER_00]: You know what?
- 25:56[SPEAKER_00]: I always try to get to the root of things.
- 25:59[SPEAKER_00]: And for me, Napoleon Hill calls it sexual transmutation.
- 26:06[SPEAKER_00]: And I didn't fully go too deep in his definition.
- 26:11[SPEAKER_00]: But essentially what he was saying is men will have an attractive assistant.
- 26:19[SPEAKER_00]: And that sexual energy would be there, but they would channel that energy into their work and their business.
- 26:26[SPEAKER_00]: And that men with an attractive assistant make more money than men without an assistant or an unattractable assistant.
- 26:34[SPEAKER_00]: So me being married and out of the street sleeping around all of my sexual energy.
- 26:43[SPEAKER_00]: that I can't give my wife goes into my work.
- 26:47[SPEAKER_00]: And it unlocks creativity because it's a life force.
- 26:52[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're not spilling your life force in all these different women, then you channeling it.
- 26:59[SPEAKER_00]: And now it's being strengthened and it's being reinforced with the one person.
- 27:05[SPEAKER_00]: But then outside of that, you still got all this energy.
- 27:09[SPEAKER_00]: Because a lot of people ignore the fact that men had multiple wives and that men was sleep with multiple women in a day and that some men was in charge of populating an entire village and God put that in us the ability to do that.
- 27:29[SPEAKER_00]: that if we need to have sex three times a day, five times a day, we could do it if we had to.
- 27:36[SPEAKER_00]: So what do you do with all of that energy and all of that life in you?
- 27:41[SPEAKER_00]: when you got one woman and she's not finna be on three times you know so I channel inspiration from that discipline and so I've created probably I probably own a hundred domains of business ideas.
- 28:03[SPEAKER_00]: I just bought a domain, I wrote a book in two days and I published a book on the second day.
- 28:12[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 28:13[SPEAKER_00]: Soon after I, because now with AI, we got to speak, so I could go to AI and say, hey, edit this for function, grammar and punctuation and don't change my style.
- 28:24[SPEAKER_00]: And it fix all the combos and speed it right back to me.
- 28:28[SPEAKER_00]: So edit it.
- 28:30[SPEAKER_00]: Create a cover, I want it this color scheme, wanting to say this with this type of font, made the cover.
- 28:37[SPEAKER_00]: What software can I use to format the interior of my book?
- 28:42[SPEAKER_00]: Use this, Villium or something, went paid $300 for that, formatted the book.
- 28:49[SPEAKER_00]: So right there, I published the book the same night.
- 28:54[SPEAKER_00]: I went to go daddy and I bought the domain, the purpose arc, it was one cent and then I went and launched a seminar on my website, Tony Gaston's Academy dot com.
- 29:11[SPEAKER_00]: A lady wrote me, she said, Tony, I've been using the term the Purpose Art.
- 29:14[SPEAKER_00]: And she had, let's trade Mark on it.
- 29:17[SPEAKER_00]: What I searched to trade Mark, nothing came up.
- 29:20[SPEAKER_00]: And so maybe she just got the TM, the how-to TM, but at the same time, like multiple people could use the same phrase.
- 29:26[SPEAKER_00]: And it's different classes.
- 29:27[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm like, if you did so serious about the Purpose Art, why didn't you buy the domain?
- 29:35[SPEAKER_00]: Like the domain was available if you were to bought that I would have picked another name and so that's what people don't understand it's like The speed of the market and so yeah, and so for me.
- 29:47[SPEAKER_00]: I create so many ideas and my belief system is that You should take your gift
- 29:56[SPEAKER_00]: and put your gift in every medium.
- 30:01[SPEAKER_00]: So your gift can be in a podcast.
- 30:04[SPEAKER_00]: Your gift should be in a book.
- 30:06[SPEAKER_00]: Your gift should be in an out.
- 30:08[SPEAKER_00]: Your gift should be in an online course.
- 30:10[SPEAKER_00]: Your gift should be a T-shirt line, a fashion line.
- 30:13[SPEAKER_00]: Your gift could be another physical product.
- 30:16[SPEAKER_00]: I have brush or whatever.
- 30:18[SPEAKER_00]: And you should put your gift a version of it in every lane.
- 30:23[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how I build my businesses.
- 30:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 30:26[SPEAKER_00]: I put it everywhere.
- 30:28[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 30:28[SPEAKER_00]: So I just write out the launch and my matchmaking out, because I'm a matchmaker outside of a relationship code.
- 30:35[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
- 30:36[SPEAKER_01]: I wrote the purpose art.
- 30:37[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 30:37[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 30:38[SPEAKER_00]: And I just believe in put everything out before you die because you want to die empty and so I have over a hundred streams of income because of how I count it.
- 30:54[SPEAKER_00]: So I count every book which I'll publish 22.
- 30:58[SPEAKER_00]: and I count every course as a stream of income because the way I see it is each one has its own audience.
- 31:06[SPEAKER_00]: Not everybody that buys course A will buy course B.
- 31:09[SPEAKER_00]: So I've created a hundred and seven online courses.
- 31:14[SPEAKER_00]: and I've published 22 books.
- 31:17[SPEAKER_00]: So that put me at 129, but then I also have a clothing line called consistency gear.
- 31:23[SPEAKER_00]: And so that's another business.
- 31:26[SPEAKER_00]: I also have a health and wellness gummy company, elderberry companies, that's another business.
- 31:32[SPEAKER_00]: But everything ties, I also own an insurance agency, with over 200 agents, because my audience needs life insurance.
- 31:45[SPEAKER_00]: Raise it, yeah, let it learn how to walk, learn how to talk and then we can have another baby because now this one walking and talking now not not this one a teenage and not this one grown and how do you and that's that's a perfect set up for the next question I have is for being somebody who's been
- 32:09[SPEAKER_02]: out.
- 32:10[SPEAKER_02]: As long as you have, right?
- 32:13[SPEAKER_02]: How do you stay relevant because, you know, behind the scenes, we were talking about when we first met, which was, man, it's like 2010.
- 32:21[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I figured to get the year, but it was, it was, you know, it's been years, right?
- 32:26[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, of early.
- 32:27[SPEAKER_02]: And as we were talking about that, we were talking about, well, I won't say his name, we were talking about a gentleman who was in the space, you know, at the time, has since not been in the space and name is not good, let's just say.
- 32:41[SPEAKER_02]: And I think about not just him, I think about others, right?
- 32:45[SPEAKER_02]: Cause when we first thought of it, it was like Twitter.
- 32:48[SPEAKER_02]: And you know what I'm saying, like there was,
- 32:52[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of people who have gone viral, who have started businesses and things in that nature, but they don't have the longevity, right?
- 33:00[SPEAKER_02]: When my guy Sean hit me and was like, yo, I got this guy.
- 33:03[SPEAKER_02]: He was selling you.
- 33:05[SPEAKER_02]: He was like, yo, I got this guy.
- 33:06[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm telling you, he's gonna go crazy through that.
- 33:10[SPEAKER_02]: Once he said your name, that's my guy.
- 33:12[SPEAKER_02]: But even if I didn't, even if we had never met though,
- 33:15[SPEAKER_02]: like your reputation precede you like like no I guess I need him on the platform and that's rare is what I'm saying to like do that for years and years and years so how do you how do you stay relevant for those who are watching who are building a brand and they don't they you know like the average brand like and I've been I've been around for a long time the average brand
- 33:41[SPEAKER_02]: It has a three to five year run.
- 33:43[SPEAKER_02]: And that's even if you get to the top, if you will, the average one I'm seeing is like three to five years, decades, like how do you stay by the limit?
- 33:54[SPEAKER_00]: For me, the true line is integrity.
- 33:59[SPEAKER_00]: I live my life in the dark the way I live in the light.
- 34:04[SPEAKER_02]: Ah, that's good.
- 34:05[SPEAKER_00]: Like, when I'm literally in the bathroom by myself, and I got my phone in my hand, and I could look at anything, I picture the whole world looking at me, and I live my life like that.
- 34:23[SPEAKER_00]: And outside of integrity, I believe in consistency.
- 34:28[SPEAKER_00]: I would prefer a little bit over a long period than a lot in a short period.
- 34:37[SPEAKER_00]: So people come to me all day, every day.
- 34:41[SPEAKER_00]: We could scale you.
- 34:42[SPEAKER_00]: We could do this.
- 34:43[SPEAKER_00]: We could do this.
- 34:44[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to scale.
- 34:46[SPEAKER_00]: Like, once I crossed $500,000 a year, I could pretty much do what I just wanted to do.
- 34:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
- 34:53[SPEAKER_00]: And so I was at 500,000 a year in 2014, 15, when my brand was reaching 20 million people a week on Facebook alone.
- 35:12[SPEAKER_00]: every post got 25,000 likes, 20,000 shares.
- 35:19[SPEAKER_00]: Publishers were calling me and said we've never seen anyone get 25,000 shares on everything they post.
- 35:27[SPEAKER_00]: My quote was around the world.
- 35:30[SPEAKER_00]: It literally I saw major speakers.
- 35:34[SPEAKER_00]: using my quotes on television.
- 35:37[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of my quotes went viral from men with TV shows.
- 35:42[SPEAKER_00]: Sharing my quote as their own.
- 35:45[SPEAKER_00]: Other quotes went viral from speakers that are number one, number two, number three in the world.
- 35:51[SPEAKER_00]: And I made less money.
- 35:55[SPEAKER_00]: then then I'm meeting now in peace right not viral right but yet still consistent but within integrity so the guys who came in my space to relationship space one of them was married blew past me on the followers got caught cheating on his wife
- 36:18[SPEAKER_00]: I don't eat them, my wife.
- 36:20[SPEAKER_00]: I just was on solo trip.
- 36:21[SPEAKER_00]: I could have flew a jump off if I had one I'd done.
- 36:25[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, they're by myself.
- 36:26[SPEAKER_00]: I know the whole tell people was probably wondering, like, we don't Google him.
- 36:29[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:30[SPEAKER_00]: We know he married.
- 36:31[SPEAKER_00]: Is he gonna have a woman here?
- 36:32[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
- 36:33[SPEAKER_00]: And they seem to be walking around by myself.
- 36:35[SPEAKER_00]: And so having that integrity, yeah.
- 36:38[SPEAKER_00]: And knowing that you can't hide.
- 36:39[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 36:41[SPEAKER_00]: And I got that elevate me.
- 36:44[SPEAKER_00]: until I got my mind right and I got my mind right in the 2009 going in the 2010 and in 2010 I was elevated and from there it's like once you see that elevation and you know where it comes from yeah you were afraid to go back down absolutely
- 37:03[SPEAKER_02]: Man, you said, you said so much that I want to unpack, but it's so powerful, and I want, I hope, you know, people watching didn't miss this, but you said you live your life in the dark, the way you live it in the light.
- 37:17[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that that is probably the biggest
- 37:21[SPEAKER_02]: a high moment or the biggest thing that I want people to take because people are so worried or so concerned or so inundated with what other people think about them, so they wear a mask if you will.
- 37:37[SPEAKER_02]: But then when they're with themselves, they have these vices if you will or these things
- 37:44[SPEAKER_02]: It's true, right?
- 37:45[SPEAKER_02]: Like if there was a magnifying glass, like people would be like, I can't believe this person does these things.
- 37:52[SPEAKER_02]: And so striving, right?
- 37:54[SPEAKER_02]: To get to that level is really the key part of it.
- 37:59[SPEAKER_02]: And I truly, you said this earlier about it being a spiritual warfare, because I truly don't believe that people are realize
- 38:14[SPEAKER_02]: that even if it looked like you're getting away with something like like and I never I promise you I never wish wrong on anybody but even when I see people doing stuff that I'm like you know that ain't right it's not in my business because again like I've lived some life and time after time at the
- 38:42[SPEAKER_02]: like, like, karma is real and it will come to you, you know?
- 38:47[SPEAKER_02]: And so that there's so much in that.
- 38:51[SPEAKER_02]: And, and I don't know if it's true real or not, but then I want to get your thoughts on this, right?
- 38:56[SPEAKER_02]: Because you talk about relationships, advice and things that I need to, but as a spiritual man, also,
- 39:04[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't judge, but it looks like there's a lot of people who are seeing God as a business model, not meaning like really their connections to God, but sort of like, I'm seeing so many people who are using God to make money.
- 39:23[SPEAKER_02]: What's your thoughts on that?
- 39:24[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I think it's a,
- 39:27[SPEAKER_02]: It's going viral, I guess, if you will.
- 39:29[SPEAKER_02]: And so I'm seeing a lot of people jump on that.
- 39:32[SPEAKER_02]: Similar to the relationship of mine.
- 39:34[SPEAKER_02]: You know, rest of the piece Kevin Samuel's, but I think once Kevin Samuel's got out there and people saw how fast he grew, then everybody in a mama started following that, you know, that motto, people who, you know, I remember, you know, so funny.
- 39:48[SPEAKER_02]: I remember, you know, I was saying name, but it was a young lady that I met her at a conference,
- 39:53[SPEAKER_02]: And she was, you know, she was like, yeah, I'm a relationship with Vice, but blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
- 39:59[SPEAKER_02]: And she was, you know, talking about like marriage, like, you know, like, like, what, what, what, what, what, what woman want, what men want, blah, blah, blah, blah, how you get married and whatever.
- 40:07[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, yes, you know what I'm saying?
- 40:09[SPEAKER_02]: But then all of a sudden her, her advice started becoming toxic.
- 40:12[SPEAKER_02]: Like, it's like, it felt like it was putting a wedge between men and women.
- 40:16[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, like, why is she doing this, blah, blah?
- 40:19[SPEAKER_02]: Later, oh, she don't even like men.
- 40:23[SPEAKER_02]: And something like, wait a minute.
- 40:25[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you don't like men.
- 40:27[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you're in a relationship with, like, you like women, but you're giving women advice on how to date men.
- 40:37[SPEAKER_02]: not, right?
- 40:39[SPEAKER_02]: What's your thoughts on this space now or I don't know if you've been seeing I've been seeing it on the the religion space or the spiritual space or people using God as a as a business model.
- 40:50[SPEAKER_00]: As you were saying that I don't know if you noticed what my eyes start to well up because it the emotion I couldn't hold it down.
- 40:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 40:59[SPEAKER_00]: But I have, I ain't going to call it a curse, but I struggle with righteous indignation like I'm a table flipper like Jesus.
- 41:11[SPEAKER_00]: Like I, nothing angers me more than people playing with the name of God because I know where he brought me from.
- 41:28[SPEAKER_00]: that if we was allowed to kill about that I would kill about.
- 41:33[SPEAKER_00]: I do not, because, and I tell people all the time, when you experience the goodness of God, you fear the wrath.
- 41:46[SPEAKER_00]: So the thing is, these individuals have never believed.
- 41:52[SPEAKER_00]: They've never trusted.
- 41:54[SPEAKER_00]: They've never walked by faith.
- 41:56[SPEAKER_00]: they've never leaned on the arms or the words of.
- 42:01[SPEAKER_00]: And so to them, G-O-D is just a word.
- 42:08[SPEAKER_00]: And they know it's powerful, but they don't fear the power.
- 42:14[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what I told Kevin Samuels, I say listen.
- 42:20[SPEAKER_00]: Now what you're doing by mocking Christian women who are abstaining because they've made mistakes in the past and they've had children from dead relationships.
- 42:39[SPEAKER_00]: Now you're mocking them, calling them stupid.
- 42:45[SPEAKER_00]: So now you're positioning yourself directly against God.
- 42:50[SPEAKER_00]: Because God says we should not forsake.
- 42:53[SPEAKER_00]: God says we should not be an adultery, but you're telling millions of people that you stupid for abstaining.
- 43:03[SPEAKER_00]: If you go on the date out the five p.m., you need to be ready to have sex.
- 43:10[SPEAKER_00]: And if you got a high value man,
- 43:14[SPEAKER_00]: You should let him cheat and be expect it for him to cheat, which is adultery.
- 43:20[SPEAKER_00]: I say now you've become an opposition to God and for that you will pay a price and not long after that.
- 43:30[SPEAKER_00]: He died and I tell people all the time, I don't play with God and if I could say anything to anybody out there.
- 43:42[SPEAKER_00]: find something else to play with.
- 43:46[SPEAKER_00]: Do not play with the name of God.
- 43:51[SPEAKER_00]: If you know that you're not giving everything you have to live a perfect life as your father in heaven, don't say his name.
- 44:04[SPEAKER_00]: do not say his name.
- 44:06[SPEAKER_00]: You are wishing death upon yourself.
- 44:10[SPEAKER_00]: And man, that thing bothered me so bad, but you are right.
- 44:14[SPEAKER_00]: And what hit me so hard when you said that?
- 44:17[SPEAKER_00]: Because I thought I was the only one who saw it.
- 44:20[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, am I the only one who see these people are pretending to be a man or woman of God so that they can have a conference or have a podcast?
- 44:31[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, this is crazy.
- 44:34[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of them living in fornication, living in adultery, living in idolatry, living in greed.
- 44:44[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why I just love for insurance company.
- 44:47[SPEAKER_00]: And there's another insurance company that I was about to bring my agency to.
- 44:51[SPEAKER_00]: And I see they kind of doing the same thing.
- 44:54[SPEAKER_00]: God, God, we believe in God, God.
- 44:56[SPEAKER_00]: And they do that to get black people to drop our guard.
- 45:02[SPEAKER_00]: Because everybody knows nobody's more faithful or crazy by God than black people.
- 45:11[SPEAKER_00]: And if you say the name of God, you could get a black person to open a wallet because we've been conditioned that you got to open your wallet for God to get a blessing.
- 45:25[SPEAKER_00]: And the black church did that.
- 45:27[SPEAKER_00]: And white church did it too.
- 45:29[SPEAKER_00]: And so people think if this person is a Christian and they say, God, I'm a paying a thing, they won't.
- 45:37[SPEAKER_00]: And now the false teachers have found that out and they fleeceing the church.
- 45:45[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 45:45[SPEAKER_00]: But I say it like this.
- 45:48[SPEAKER_00]: If you get in fleece, you deserve it.
- 45:52[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lesson that you gotta learn because you're not operating with discretion and discernment because you yourself are not actually talking to God and walking with Him.
- 46:06[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you are,
- 46:09[SPEAKER_00]: you're going to have the same vision that you have and that I have.
- 46:13[SPEAKER_00]: And so I got to commit you own that.
- 46:17[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know.
- 46:17[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 46:18[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 46:18[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 46:20[SPEAKER_02]: Let me ask also, though, because I see this in the money space, right?
- 46:24[SPEAKER_02]: So I, you know, prior to
- 46:26[SPEAKER_02]: being a podcaster or a financial educator author.
- 46:31[SPEAKER_02]: I had, you know, I was a banker for 15 years.
- 46:33[SPEAKER_02]: So even though when I wrote my first book, I wasn't necessarily financially free, right?
- 46:40[SPEAKER_02]: Like I was, but I had managed the book of business of wealthy individuals, and so I was still working when I wrote my first book, but it was based on, it was still based on my experience, right?
- 46:50[SPEAKER_02]: Like I didn't have to had made millions of dollars to teach you how to make millions of dollars
- 46:56[SPEAKER_02]: my job was to manage millions of dollars, right?
- 46:59[SPEAKER_02]: So there was still this level of, I didn't do it for myself, yet, but I've done it for other people.
- 47:04[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what gave me the authority to build off the right, the key word in office, authority, or authority's author.
- 47:12[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's what gave me the authority to be able to do that.
- 47:16[SPEAKER_02]: But what I'm noticing though also, and this is kind of relates to like in the financial space that I've seen is like let's say somebody is learning something and as they're learning it they decide to teach it right they didn't necessarily do the thing or they're just learning it and it like I now an expert who'd that be the same thing in the relationship space and in the religious space in the God space where people are
- 47:45[SPEAKER_02]: going through their walk with God and God saved them from something and they're not at that level of perfection yet, but they feel like this feels so good that I'm convicted like God is saving me that I want to go out there and say that.
- 48:04[SPEAKER_02]: What's, I see the danger in it because, you know, I'm just speaking specifically in a money space, I see the danger of somebody learning something and teaching it while they're going, right?
- 48:15[SPEAKER_02]: Keypoint is, um, I mean, you know this, right?
- 48:20[SPEAKER_02]: When you make millions of dollars, number one, it doesn't mean that you take home millions of dollars, right?
- 48:25[SPEAKER_02]: There's expenses that come with that.
- 48:27[SPEAKER_02]: There's also a level of investing that you have to do.
- 48:31[SPEAKER_02]: There's a level of, you know, expenses, taxes, there's wealth strategies.
- 48:36[SPEAKER_02]: There's things that, as somebody who made six figures, let me pay the paycheck or try to figure things out, that I don't see until I make a million dollars.
- 48:45[SPEAKER_02]: So even if I'm, if I make six figures, and I'm like, yeah, when I make a million dollars, I'm gonna, you know, add my six figure ideology into this million dollars.
- 48:54[SPEAKER_02]: It's never gonna work.
- 48:55[SPEAKER_02]: Same thing, you know, in a finance space or whatever, the relationship space is like, what's the danger of that though?
- 49:03[SPEAKER_02]: People who are learning, but not want to teach.
- 49:11[SPEAKER_00]: they're hard as in the wrong place.
- 49:13[SPEAKER_00]: And the danger is we all speak from where we are.
- 49:18[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why I don't speak on finances because I'm terrible with finances.
- 49:23[SPEAKER_00]: And I tell people that.
- 49:24[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't give any advice on it because I'm not there.
- 49:29[SPEAKER_00]: When I master it,
- 49:30[SPEAKER_00]: and I learn how to properly budget when to say no.
- 49:35[SPEAKER_00]: And all of that, then I'm going to share that with them, but I want to share it from a seat of being a master at it.
- 49:42[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 49:43[SPEAKER_00]: And we will never be perfect.
- 49:46[SPEAKER_00]: So when we teach, we should share our imperfections.
- 49:51[SPEAKER_00]: We should share our flaws.
- 49:54[SPEAKER_00]: So if a financial teacher or a relationship teacher comes out, they should say, hey,
- 50:00[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I only have $42 in my bank account right now, but I've learned the principles of money.
- 50:07[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm gonna take y'all on this journey with me of how I turn 42 in the 420, then into 4200, then in the 4200, then in the 420,000, and hopefully one day, 4.2 million.
- 50:21[SPEAKER_00]: So now, we go on the journey, we've fallen in love with the journey, and they are doing what I call,
- 50:29[SPEAKER_00]: You learn you should teach and I saw a brother do that in the finance space on YouTube He pulls up his portfolio and he gives stock advice But he shows you as he is his growing and he take you with it.
- 50:42[SPEAKER_00]: So now he got a big old patreon in everybody Because they watch it grow and the same thing with the relationship space.
- 50:49[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of like if you single Say hey, I'm single.
- 50:53[SPEAKER_00]: I'm learning this what I'll just learned about dating yesterday
- 50:57[SPEAKER_00]: And keep it right there, instead of trying to go into the expert role, and one thing I've never done in my career is put expert or guru in my bio.
- 51:11[SPEAKER_00]: I've never once called myself an expert or guru.
- 51:14[SPEAKER_00]: And for me,
- 51:16[SPEAKER_00]: If I see that in somebody's bio, it's always a red flag, and the sister who just got exposed for not having a doctorate, I saw that in her bio, expert, and I said, well, and it was a red flag to me, and I said, somebody to my audience, y'all be careful, and then look while I lay
- 51:38[SPEAKER_00]: A year later, all this stuff come up and I say that you're never going to get away if you're not living and operating with integrity, but here's what I found, we all are granted grace, meaning we can fumble and mess up for a long time.
- 52:01[SPEAKER_00]: and we get the tap on our shoulder saying get it right, get it right, if you don't get it right, it's coming to the light soon.
- 52:10[SPEAKER_00]: And so that's what I'm always sensitive to that voice.
- 52:15[SPEAKER_00]: get it right before it come out.
- 52:18[SPEAKER_00]: So for me, I had perfect the relationship side a long time ago.
- 52:21[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
- 52:22[SPEAKER_00]: So then I started working on the business side, on the finance side, and I realized Tony, Ian, following your taxes.
- 52:29[SPEAKER_00]: Right, right, right.
- 52:29[SPEAKER_00]: You need to file them taxes?
- 52:31[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
- 52:31[SPEAKER_00]: And just deal with it, if they come back to you later and say, hey, you filed this wrong, you also cover extra grand.
- 52:36[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, give them that cover extra grand.
- 52:38[SPEAKER_00]: But at least catch all the way up on them taxes.
- 52:41[SPEAKER_00]: And at one point in my business as a business man, I had to sit down and do.
- 52:47[SPEAKER_00]: three or four years of tax yeah and because that's where I was terrible at and that right there is what I share with my audience and I say this why I don't get y'all financial advice because me I ain't scared of collections I ain't scared of low credit my credit scores the same is my shoes side so I operate where I'm strong and that's what I teach on sure
- 53:10[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm glad as you said that too, because I think that what's blaring to me is the level of integrity, the level of being, you know, who you are.
- 53:20[SPEAKER_02]: I think, you know, Solomon says this a lot that if you're upfront about who you are, then no one can't use your story against you, right?
- 53:29[SPEAKER_02]: And I think, again, people are so connected with,
- 53:33[SPEAKER_02]: You know, what other people think that they, you know, they, you know, they fabricate or they want to present themselves in a certain way.
- 53:41[SPEAKER_02]: What are you working on right now?
- 53:44[SPEAKER_02]: That's, you know, going to shake the earth even more, right?
- 53:48[SPEAKER_02]: As somebody who, again, has, um,
- 53:52[SPEAKER_02]: you know, impacted millions of lives, whether they know it, you know what I mean, knowingly or unknowingly.
- 53:57[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that's also the beauty of it.
- 54:00[SPEAKER_02]: Is there's a lot of things that you started, or you did, that others are benefiting from, that people have, that the only thing you credit for have no idea vice versa, same thing, like, I know, and I know, and I'm just not naming them, but there's many things that I quote unquote, like, pioneered.
- 54:17[SPEAKER_02]: Um, that people are doing now that I look and I be like, you know, they don't even realize that like I help, you know, us sure that in if you will.
- 54:25[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so what, what's the, what's the next thing that God deposited inside of Tony Gaskin's that you're working on that, that's really gonna impact millions.
- 54:33[SPEAKER_00]: My two biggest projects right now, one is thedestinyout.com.
- 54:40[SPEAKER_00]: And that is a matchmaking out that I created because I have three and a half million people and majority of them are single.
- 54:49[SPEAKER_00]: And in that three and a half million people is probably 700,000 of them only, that's me.
- 54:57[SPEAKER_00]: And so I wanna help more men meet their wife.
- 55:02[SPEAKER_00]: And so I created the destiny out.com for that reason.
- 55:06[SPEAKER_00]: So I could drive all of my audience to this intentional space where you only meet one person a day.
- 55:15[SPEAKER_00]: And it has to be a mutual interest in order for the chat to open.
- 55:20[SPEAKER_00]: So it's not any swiping and you feed the matchmaker, which is an AI matchmaker trained on my philosophies, the three bees, brains, brand body, you feed it based on your answers and then it matches you very intensely and strategically with someone you should be compatible with.
- 55:43[SPEAKER_00]: And when you connect with that person in the chat,
- 55:47[SPEAKER_00]: you don't get any other matches as long as the chat is open.
- 55:51[SPEAKER_00]: So that is running in this lane and then the purpose art and the purpose art is a play on the villain art and it's really the motions,
- 56:10[SPEAKER_00]: And I just published that book, it's on Amazon.
- 56:14[SPEAKER_00]: And in that, I realized I've been full of time in my purpose for 15 years.
- 56:21[SPEAKER_00]: And I went full time at the age of 27.
- 56:25[SPEAKER_00]: And I understand now that that's sort of rare.
- 56:29[SPEAKER_00]: And that most people work a corporate job until they die.
- 56:34[SPEAKER_00]: and very few people get to live their purpose full of time and so in the red rock mountains of Sedona, Arizona, God just birthed in me, formulas.
- 56:49[SPEAKER_00]: for purpose.
- 56:50[SPEAKER_00]: And I was able to pinpoint the areas and the ways that I discovered my purpose.
- 56:57[SPEAKER_00]: And so in the purpose art is the purpose art, the purpose formula, the blueprint is your fingerprint.
- 57:06[SPEAKER_00]: the purpose behind pricing, and the four levels of purpose, always give it to me in two days, and I think that those two things, but more so the purpose art, is what I'm going to focus on for the rest of my life.
- 57:25[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to take that seminar, the first one, November 28th and Tampa Bay.
- 57:29[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to take it around the world.
- 57:31[SPEAKER_00]: Everywhere I took the real love tour, South Africa, and I wrote me Can't you?
- 57:36[SPEAKER_00]: All the islands I'm gonna take the purpose of it to help because what Just hit my spirit is one thing that I wouldn't say is greater than love.
- 57:51[SPEAKER_00]: But
- 57:53[SPEAKER_00]: applies to everyone is purpose.
- 57:57[SPEAKER_00]: Not everyone wants to be married.
- 57:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 57:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 57:59[SPEAKER_00]: Not everyone is some people there with or with or with or they that season is over.
- 58:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 58:05[SPEAKER_00]: But their purpose is still there.
- 58:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 58:07[SPEAKER_00]: And so I'm actually pivoting.
- 58:11[SPEAKER_00]: as we speak to from the relationships or tying in the relationships with something greater which is our God given purpose.
- 58:21[SPEAKER_00]: The reason we are here.
- 58:24[SPEAKER_00]: And I believe that's going to care me for the rest of my days.
- 58:31[SPEAKER_02]: It's interesting, but it's also divine that you say that
- 58:36[SPEAKER_02]: Odd the enough like I'm in a similar season right where and I'd literally like I literally just re-release one of my books abundance is your birth right so if you I mean we're in the abundance content studios um and ever since I like heard that phrase
- 58:53[SPEAKER_02]: It defines my life, it defines what I fought my whole life for, but it defines what I believe God has told me to tell people, right?
- 59:03[SPEAKER_02]: Because, you know, growing up low income, you know, was an entrepreneur on my life.
- 59:09[SPEAKER_02]: I did all these things.
- 59:10[SPEAKER_02]: And I kind of was like, like, why am I living like this?
- 59:17[SPEAKER_02]: When I know you promise me abundance,
- 59:20[SPEAKER_02]: And so I'd never, regardless of what my situation is, I'd never accepted that.
- 59:25[SPEAKER_02]: it was other than that like got like got it got told me a abundance is my birthright like because I was born I'm a abundant but I say that to say is like I rewrote rewrote one of my books a bunch of your birthright I'm doing an ADHD version and go because I've realized I have ADHD I'm doing an ASD autistic version of it because my wife you know has autism and I'm like man so we're going to do a Nordar version version we're going to do a regular version but then
- 59:53[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, yeah, I gotta, I'm gonna do this for the rest of my life, right?
- 59:57[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, but I also say I'm gonna do a tour.
- 1:00:00[SPEAKER_02]: Like I'm gonna go around, I'm gonna do a bunny, you know, a bunny, it's just your birthright tour and just going around it.
- 1:00:04[SPEAKER_00]: He gave that to you.
- 1:00:05[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sure.
- 1:00:06[SPEAKER_00]: Cause I've never heard of that.
- 1:00:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I saw it on the wall.
- 1:00:09[SPEAKER_00]: I saw it on the book cover and I've never heard the phrase.
- 1:00:14[SPEAKER_00]: So no matter who said it, or if you okay, so it's like I've seen it first from you and it's powerful and I believe that and I think those are the type of concepts.
- 1:00:32[SPEAKER_00]: that we have to take around the world, that we have to share with people the shift to mindset.
- 1:00:39[SPEAKER_00]: You hear for reasons, it's things that's on your birth contract, that you are due and you got a claiming.
- 1:00:47[SPEAKER_00]: But if your mindset is not ready for it and you don't believe it, then you won't receive it.
- 1:00:53[SPEAKER_00]: So you have to know that you have a purpose.
- 1:00:57[SPEAKER_00]: that is your birthright and abundance is your birthright and that's where I think we fall into the wayside.
- 1:01:04[SPEAKER_00]: We're getting so points drawn by don't scrolling listening to as you say it.
- 1:01:13[SPEAKER_00]: the loud minority, yeah, yeah, yeah, the vocal minority, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
- 1:01:33[SPEAKER_02]: My goal in life is just to amplify voices.
- 1:01:36[SPEAKER_02]: That's it, right?
- 1:01:37[SPEAKER_02]: So I do that through, you know, I've written books to amplify my voices and I help others to write books to amplify their voices.
- 1:01:43[SPEAKER_02]: I've gotten, you know, popular through being on shows and podcasts, so let me create a show and a part, you know.
- 1:01:49[SPEAKER_02]: So everything that I've ever done then has helped amplify my voice, I wanna just hand that to others and help.
- 1:01:57[SPEAKER_02]: And I know that there are
- 1:02:00[SPEAKER_02]: You know, people out there that need your voice, right?
- 1:02:03[SPEAKER_02]: Especially in authentic voice of voice schools.
- 1:02:06[SPEAKER_02]: You're not just preaching and just doing it.
- 1:02:08[SPEAKER_02]: Mary, successful.
- 1:02:09[SPEAKER_02]: You know, and so I love that.
- 1:02:11[SPEAKER_02]: Is there anything that I didn't ask you, right?
- 1:02:15[SPEAKER_02]: On this show that you like asked before we go, I need your insight as to know this.
- 1:02:22[SPEAKER_00]: No, you did it all.
- 1:02:24[SPEAKER_00]: And for me, anytime I do a podcast and I don't do a lot is I like to be in the flow of the space.
- 1:02:33[SPEAKER_00]: And I never want to use it to promote or to things like that.
- 1:02:37[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like if it comes up, it comes up.
- 1:02:40[SPEAKER_00]: But really what I want people to walk away from is the flow.
- 1:02:44[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 1:02:44[SPEAKER_00]: The color, the know-in-ting or whatever it is that we have in our conversation because I believe every single person will hear something that they need it.
- 1:02:57[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 1:02:57[SPEAKER_00]: And each person may hear something different.
- 1:03:00[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
- 1:03:01[SPEAKER_00]: And so if we drowned it out with just all,
- 1:03:07[SPEAKER_00]: promo, they missed that and they tuned out.
- 1:03:10[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the greater message that I want people to walk away with is it's now time to step into your purpose and to receive your birth right and to live and move and think in abundance and go to that next level because we
- 1:03:33[SPEAKER_00]: just the Maori clay.
- 1:03:35[SPEAKER_00]: We got to get out of the Lopina gallery where it's just a bunch of nonsense being spewed all over the world and it's stealing all of our greatness, all of our time, all of our attention and the people that's gaining abundance are the people who are creating
- 1:03:55[SPEAKER_00]: the systems and the software that we are become a punch drunk to and we got to take a step back and we got to say what can I create yeah that can be beneficial but also be a part of my life's work in my purpose yeah yeah yeah I love that I love that uh... if people wanted to connect with you they want to connect with you they want to get the app they want to get your book you're quote like it how can somebody get into the world that's on the gas
- 1:04:22[SPEAKER_00]: So it's my name everywhere.
- 1:04:23[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Gaskins on YouTube, Instagram on most long YouTube.
- 1:04:28[SPEAKER_00]: I'm on YouTube every day.
- 1:04:30[SPEAKER_00]: So that's where I like everybody to go to YouTube, subscribe because I'm teaching something every day, and then I receive requests in the comments, from my supporters.
- 1:04:41[SPEAKER_00]: And other than right now I'm in a season I'm not really doing one on one coaching because I just did eight months of it I think from October a little more than that up until August.
- 1:04:52[SPEAKER_00]: So really 10 months of one on one coaching.
- 1:04:55[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm on a little break right now.
- 1:04:58[SPEAKER_00]: And the purpose arc.
- 1:05:01[SPEAKER_00]: That's from a new baby alongside the Destiny out, and I'm bringing love and purpose together.
- 1:05:10[SPEAKER_02]: I love that.
- 1:05:11[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's what we need.
- 1:05:13[SPEAKER_02]: And here's the thing that I want everybody to know.
- 1:05:17[SPEAKER_02]: That's actually the winning formula.
- 1:05:19[SPEAKER_02]: When you take your purpose and you connect it with love, because God is love.
- 1:05:24[SPEAKER_02]: right and so and and God gave you your purpose.
- 1:05:27[SPEAKER_02]: So you connect with God gave you who God is.
- 1:05:30[SPEAKER_02]: It's the winning formulae also.
- 1:05:32[SPEAKER_02]: You got to tap in the purpose arc.com.
- 1:05:35[SPEAKER_02]: I love this.
- 1:05:36[SPEAKER_02]: I love the direction.
- 1:05:38[SPEAKER_02]: I love, you know, you know, you know, what you're putting out to the world.
- 1:05:43[SPEAKER_02]: And also, I, you know, I'll say this that a lot of, and this is just my experience, a lot of the people who I see when long-term are those who follow their purpose, they are intentional about what they put out into the world, you know, and I think that regardless of what you believe in, you know, like if you, you don't believe in electricity, doesn't matter.
- 1:06:10[SPEAKER_02]: right if you put something metal inside of electricity you will get electrocuted you don't believe in gravity it don't matter you jump off the building you right so so so so what you don't understand is that belief is not uh you're a belief is not necessary
- 1:06:27[SPEAKER_02]: It's following the rules that's necessary and understanding how those rules work.
- 1:06:31[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that, again, you're at a space where you've shown, the rules say, you give what you get.
- 1:06:40[SPEAKER_02]: And so you've been giving integrity, you've been given, you've been following, you know, what God wants for your life, and you've been pushing that out into the world.
- 1:06:50[SPEAKER_02]: And so that's how you get back, you know love, you get back peace, you get back prosperity and abundance.
- 1:06:56[SPEAKER_02]: You'll make sure you're a tap-in!
- 1:06:59[SPEAKER_02]: with Tony Gaskins.
