- 1:12Speaker 2: people think podcasts about work are boring, and sure they
- 1:16Speaker 2: definitely can be, but understanding of professionals routine shows us
- 1:20Speaker 2: how they achieve their success little by little, day after day.
- 1:24Speaker 2: It's like banking with P and C Bank. It might
- 1:27Speaker 2: seem boring to save, plan and make calculated decisions with

- 1:48Speaker 2: Member FDIC.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Marthe let me ask you all the question before you
- 1:53Speaker 1: get out of here.
- 1:55Speaker 3: I had just put out some content about everybody start
- 2:00Speaker 3: your podcast now. I remember, I think I've seen a
- 2:02Speaker 3: clip of you all talking about it being an influencer recession.
- 2:07Speaker 3: So you know, I believe that everybody should have a podcast,
- 2:13Speaker 3: whether it's short or long form, because you know, it
- 2:16Speaker 3: places you and the thought leader and experts seat to
- 2:20Speaker 3: house content for your community or business, which I think
- 2:24Speaker 3: is necessary in this landscape building a personal brand. But
- 2:27Speaker 3: I want to know your thoughts on do you really
- 2:30Speaker 3: believe it is an influencer recession and or not.
- 2:34Speaker 4: It's definitely an influencer recession. We talked about that on
- 2:37Speaker 4: Blackout a few weeks ago. I mean you could just
- 2:39Speaker 4: look at it from uh comics, you know, struggling to
- 2:46Speaker 4: you know, make ends meet. You see them doing different
- 2:48Speaker 4: things that a little weird. Now shout out to all
- 2:54Speaker 4: of the comics.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Out there, I mean like product placements, so yo, it's great.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Other people in the financial literacy space, you don't you
- 3:06Speaker 4: don't see them anymore. I haven't ninety percent of the
- 3:09Speaker 4: people that was in the financial literacy space during the pandemic,
- 3:14Speaker 4: I haven't even posted in months or weeks or they
- 3:17Speaker 4: just completely are doing something different. I think even you know,
- 3:23Speaker 4: in the Only Fans, I don't know if the Only
- 3:26Speaker 4: Fans girls are making money like they used to. So yeah,
- 3:29Speaker 4: I think that there's an influence of recession. But in
- 3:33Speaker 4: any recession, there's still some people that are still you know, thriving.
- 3:37Speaker 4: And usually a recession is only for a short period
- 3:41Speaker 4: of time and there'll be another bull market, So they'll
- 3:43Speaker 4: probably be another bull market at some point in time.
- 3:47Speaker 4: But right now I think it's down as far as
- 3:49Speaker 4: your question for everybody should start a podcast, I don't
- 3:52Speaker 4: necessarily agree with that. I get the concept and it
- 3:55Speaker 4: is a great way to engage with your community, but
- 3:56Speaker 4: I don't think everybody's passionate about it. It is a
- 3:59Speaker 4: lot of work. It is something that you know takes time,
- 4:03Speaker 4: contrary to and you understand that, right, Like you have
- 4:05Speaker 4: a show, like you put a lot of energy into that.
- 4:07Speaker 4: So contrary to belief, it's not easy. It's not just
- 4:11Speaker 4: the oh, just pick up a microphone and just start talking,
- 4:13Speaker 4: like if you can do that, but that's not going
- 4:15Speaker 4: to be successful. If you want to have a successful show,
- 4:17Speaker 4: you got to actually put time into it, research, know
- 4:20Speaker 4: your topics, you know, edit, pay money, stuff like that.
- 4:23Speaker 4: So everybody's not for that. I think everybody should have
- 4:27Speaker 4: an Instagram page, for sure. Everybody should have social media,
- 4:31Speaker 4: but I don't think everybody is cut out to actually
- 4:34Speaker 4: have long form content and what they call the podcast space.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a conversation that we've had amongst each other,
- 4:42Speaker 2: but I think I actually had this conversation two days ago.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Everybody has a voice, everybody can use their voice, but
- 4:50Speaker 2: I think the wise and most important thing, right and
- 4:53Speaker 2: especially when we saw this bull market inside of the
- 4:56Speaker 2: podcast in space, you saw.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Everybody doing it.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Then you saw celebrity getting on board because they thought,
- 5:01Speaker 2: all right, this is an opportunity to make money.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Well, even from.
- 5:04Speaker 2: An advertising standpoint, And we've seen and spoke to multiple corporations,
- 5:10Speaker 2: there's been a pullback in the spend.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Right, people are cutting their butts when it comes to spend.
- 5:14Speaker 2: That brings around down the amount of people who are
- 5:16Speaker 2: now looking at it as a place of monetary value.
- 5:19Speaker 2: And so inside the podcast space you don't see celebrities
- 5:22Speaker 2: doing it anymore because the value is not there. But
- 5:25Speaker 2: what were they bringing to the space in the first place.
- 5:27Speaker 2: They just looked at it as a money opportunity. So yeah,
- 5:30Speaker 2: people should have a voice, but they should alstill know
- 5:31Speaker 2: the value that they're trying to add before starting that sting, right,
- 5:34Speaker 2: because if you're doing it for money, you won't be
- 5:36Speaker 2: doing it very long.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Right. If you're doing it because.
- 5:38Speaker 2: There's a passion, there's a reason why you want to talk,
- 5:42Speaker 2: there are people that are following your message. Yeah, then
- 5:45Speaker 2: you'll do it regardless if you're getting paid or not.
- 5:47Speaker 2: But inside of that create multiple different ways to generate income.
- 5:53Speaker 2: I think that you know, the people who are successful,
- 5:56Speaker 2: and especially the people that we know inside the space
- 5:58Speaker 2: have done exactly that. They're not relying on just one
- 6:01Speaker 2: avenue of the podcast.
- 6:03Speaker 1: To make their revenue.
- 6:04Speaker 2: They've created a system, They've created an ecosystem around it.
- 6:07Speaker 2: So make sure you know what the value is. And yeah,
- 6:10Speaker 2: definitely for the first part, is there a recession. Yeah,
- 6:12Speaker 2: I mean it's obvious when you walk around, you don't
- 6:14Speaker 2: see the same people used to say in some of
- 6:16Speaker 2: the rooms that you are. Some of the rooms that
- 6:18Speaker 2: used to exist don't exist anymore. But you know, the
- 6:22Speaker 2: primal rids at the top and the people who at
- 6:23Speaker 2: the most value will be relevant and stay focused inside
- 6:26Speaker 2: of the space.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:30Speaker 3: I think I'll look at it as there's a consolidation
- 6:35Speaker 3: that happens in it, and then there's cycles, right, Yes,
- 6:39Speaker 3: there's always that cycle of excitement that many people get involved,
- 6:44Speaker 3: right and they start to do something. And then the
- 6:46Speaker 3: consolidating standpoint are the people that are actually good at it,
- 6:49Speaker 3: people that can actually perform and that actually have real influence.
- 6:53Speaker 3: When I think about, you know, podcasting, I think about
- 6:56Speaker 3: it from a personal branding standpoint, and then I think
- 6:58Speaker 3: about all of the skill sets that you can gather along. Right,
- 7:02Speaker 3: if you're looking at it specifically from a pure profit standpoint,
- 7:06Speaker 3: then no, everybody is not going to be able to
- 7:08Speaker 3: create a profitable of six to seven figure podcasts.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Right.
- 7:14Speaker 3: There are some voices that can and that will for sure.
- 7:18Speaker 3: But if you have a business, right nine out of ten, right,
- 7:22Speaker 3: I believe that you should have a space where that
- 7:26Speaker 3: business has a voice, right number one, as you are
- 7:29Speaker 3: creating content around your product, becoming a thought leader in
- 7:33Speaker 3: that space.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Right. Like I had to shoot some content about.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Courtyceps the other day because there was this new study
- 7:40Speaker 3: that came out about human trials being done on courtyceps
- 7:43Speaker 3: where it increases performance and it decreases the amount of
- 7:46Speaker 3: recovery time. And as I was sitting together preparing that,
- 7:50Speaker 3: I'm learning more about my own product, and I'm learning
- 7:53Speaker 3: how to sell it and how to.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Explain it better to people. Right.
- 7:56Speaker 3: And then you become a voice of authority when people
- 8:00Speaker 3: that are just searching the Internet or looking up courtysps
- 8:03Speaker 3: and mushrooms and looking for supplements for themselves to take,
- 8:06Speaker 3: and then they learn about it through you, and then
- 8:08Speaker 3: that becomes a funnel to your product.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Right.
- 8:11Speaker 3: So if anything, podcasts creates a content funnel that can
- 8:16Speaker 3: go to your product, your service, right you as a speaker,
- 8:20Speaker 3: whatever it may be, And so it helps people hone
- 8:23Speaker 3: in their voice.
- 8:23Speaker 1: It helps people learn how to tell their story right.
- 8:26Speaker 3: And whether you're putting out the whole long form or
- 8:29Speaker 3: whether you're doing something short form or not, you're able
- 8:32Speaker 3: to use those clips on your Instagram, right on your TikTok,
- 8:36Speaker 3: whever they may be, and then you start to master
- 8:39Speaker 3: that as you go along the process. But I think
- 8:42Speaker 3: the process of producing a podcast itself becomes a content
- 8:47Speaker 3: funnel for you to be able to use it in
- 8:49Speaker 3: all these areas, right that become beneficial to you and
- 8:52Speaker 3: your business. And when I say everybody, of course, I
- 8:54Speaker 3: don't really mean everybody. I really mean entrepreneurs, people that's
- 8:59Speaker 3: serious about it, people that want to build personal brands.
- 9:02Speaker 3: The personal branding space is continuing to grow, and it's
- 9:05Speaker 3: going to grow billions over the next few years. The
- 9:08Speaker 3: way that they're dividing the pie, especially these advertisers, it's
- 9:11Speaker 3: not the same way they used to do it at first,
- 9:13Speaker 3: where they may give one person one big chunk.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Right now they're trying to go.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Through authentic audiences that often look like smaller audiences because
- 9:21Speaker 3: they're trying to get that user generated content and they're
- 9:23Speaker 3: trying to create a higher depth of relationship with the
- 9:27Speaker 3: customer through smaller influencers. So we're talking about twenty five hundred,
- 9:31Speaker 3: five thousand, maybe ten thousand followers, right, because they're going
- 9:35Speaker 3: to get a greater return on that relationship that that
- 9:39Speaker 3: smaller influencer has. Now, I think that most people that
- 9:44Speaker 3: teach podcasts that don't know what they're talking about don't
- 9:47Speaker 3: know how to create a good show to save their life.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Right.
- 9:50Speaker 3: So if you want to focus on your show itself
- 9:52Speaker 3: being a generator and what you're directly monetizing, that's a
- 9:56Speaker 3: whole other level of expertise. But if you have a
- 9:59Speaker 3: company that has a product, right, the point of media
- 10:03Speaker 3: is for advertisement, I don't see why not at least
- 10:07Speaker 3: create a show right around your product or conversations around
- 10:12Speaker 3: it that you can then take that short form content.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Because now we have AI that can chop these things up,
- 10:17Speaker 3: so it's not as hard as it used to be.
- 10:20Speaker 3: And I think when most people think about it, they
- 10:22Speaker 3: think about the consumption of time and energy and expertise
- 10:25Speaker 3: that's needed. But when you're talking about having opus clips
- 10:28Speaker 3: and taja ai and all the access to new ais,
- 10:32Speaker 3: it's actually as easy as posting, right. It's really just
- 10:35Speaker 3: consuming time and you're getting a little creative and you're
- 10:38Speaker 3: using what's the AI that we use to.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Create the thumbnails all the time? Canva?
- 10:44Speaker 3: Right, you're using something like Canva. You can create a
- 10:47Speaker 3: full deck brand doing that. And I think that most
- 10:50Speaker 3: people have given up before utilizing the best tools on
- 10:54Speaker 3: the market, And so the only problem that happens is
- 10:57Speaker 3: everything starts to look the same, people start to lose creativity.
- 11:01Speaker 3: But I think personal branding, community branding, founder vlogging right,
- 11:06Speaker 3: those are where content is going towards the future. Right,
- 11:10Speaker 3: greater authenticity, transparency, right, being able to tell your story,
- 11:15Speaker 3: getting into the minds of the people. That to me
- 11:18Speaker 3: is the key going forward. As people think about it, like,
- 11:21Speaker 3: your personal brand is not about what you do, and
- 11:23Speaker 3: my framework is about who you are. And so that's
- 11:26Speaker 3: one of the things I've been helping people focus on.
- 11:29Speaker 3: How do you scale that personal brand that turns into
- 11:31Speaker 3: a community brand, right, and then how do you service
- 11:35Speaker 3: that community by building a world around it?
- 11:37Speaker 1: Right? And so I think that people are looking to
- 11:41Speaker 1: find their tribes. Right now, I think.
- 11:43Speaker 3: People are looking for shows that fit their personality and
- 11:46Speaker 3: fit their schedule because we got access to all these
- 11:49Speaker 3: information and shows all throughout the world, but how do
- 11:52Speaker 3: we get it to where these are my preferences. So
- 11:55Speaker 3: high level conversation is the preference of the smart person
- 11:58Speaker 3: in the world. It's the preference somebody that wants to
- 12:01Speaker 3: think differently, think outside the box. They get tired of
- 12:04Speaker 3: the same content that is actually get funded right now,
- 12:07Speaker 3: right they're still putting budget to bs and the advertisers
- 12:11Speaker 3: are not getting their dollars worth because they don't have
- 12:13Speaker 3: enough information on the changes of.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Interest that people are into now.
- 12:19Speaker 3: So people watching high level conversations, and it's a reason
- 12:21Speaker 3: why meet and Billy Carson and Yaqui and Blue Pill
- 12:24Speaker 3: and whoever else I sit down with and we have
- 12:26Speaker 3: a high level intellectual conversation that stimulates the interests that
- 12:30Speaker 3: are underserved in society because they act like people only
- 12:34Speaker 3: want the same mundane popular entertainment. So I think that
- 12:38Speaker 3: people need to heavily niche down so it's less competition
- 12:42Speaker 3: when you niche and you still should be creating content
- 12:45Speaker 3: and podcasts.
- 12:46Speaker 1: But you should be doing it.
- 12:47Speaker 3: So it's a funnel to your personal brand or product
- 12:50Speaker 3: and if you want our assistance, that's what we do
- 12:53Speaker 3: in the high Level club.
- 12:54Speaker 4: There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the highest level,
- 12:56Speaker 4: the highest level possible. Nineteen tis, I appreciate you man
- 13:00Speaker 4: up and then uh I, I believe he got disconnected.
- 13:03Speaker 1: He might have lost his battery.
- 13:05Speaker 4: So, like I said, prayer to everybody in Houston, they're
- 13:07Speaker 4: going through a major issue right now with the Hurricane.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Dorothy in Houston.
- 13:11Speaker 3: My brother did God instead Walker just start shooting, So.
- 13:18Speaker 4: So so lutheror Houston, and don't forget nineteen Keys will
- 13:22Speaker 4: be in the building for a special round table not
- 13:25Speaker 4: a panel round table discussion at Investmentst. But Yaqui awakened
- 13:30Speaker 4: and Billy Carson that listen.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Hey, investmentst gonna be something different.
- 13:36Speaker 3: I just want to let y'all know this year, you
- 13:38Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, I play every year like it's
- 13:40Speaker 3: the last year.
- 13:41Speaker 1: So we got to be the best. That's the only
- 13:44Speaker 1: way to play. I know.
- 13:46Speaker 3: I know my good brother Rashad is not doing drip
- 13:48Speaker 3: reports and I'm glad he you know, gonna do that.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Relinquish that responsibility.
- 13:54Speaker 4: Don't do that.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Now you don't do that.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Listen, listen, I'm still I'm still no, no, no, no,
- 14:00Speaker 3: listen the scoreboard, read the scoreboard.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Let's not do that. I'm champion. But now we got
- 14:08Speaker 1: that out the way. Everything will be a Maculin this year.
- 14:11Speaker 3: The booth is going to be a Maculate, the drip
- 14:13Speaker 3: is going to be a Maculenk, the brand, the speakers,
- 14:15Speaker 3: the presentation. You want to be stepping into the future,
- 14:18Speaker 3: and I want everybody to step the game up. When
- 14:21Speaker 3: I say step your game up, I mean like the design,
- 14:23Speaker 3: the aesthetics, the cleanlyness, the thoughtfulness, the intentfulness as you
- 14:26Speaker 3: step into that door. Have a plan on how you're
- 14:30Speaker 3: going to connect the network with people, right, get creative
- 14:33Speaker 3: in a way that you're going to vlog your travels
- 14:36Speaker 3: and your trips. You're spending time and you're investing. And
- 14:39Speaker 3: there's something that's beautiful that comes particularly once a year.
- 14:43Speaker 3: But be super intentional. Right, you have Black Friday that
- 14:46Speaker 3: come and entrepreneurs will spend a whole year getting ready
- 14:49Speaker 3: for Black Friday because they know the opportunities that come
- 14:51Speaker 3: along with their business. I want to make sure that
- 14:54Speaker 3: you at your optimum level when you function and you're
- 14:56Speaker 3: smelling good. You looking good, But let's make invest fast.
- 15:00Speaker 3: It's not enough of these type of events that happen
- 15:02Speaker 3: in the culture, right. So when you have an event
- 15:05Speaker 3: like this, these are the times where you're not just
- 15:08Speaker 3: waiting to see what myself is doing or Rashad or
- 15:11Speaker 3: any other presenters. What do you bring into the table
- 15:15Speaker 3: that invest Fest? Because it is a people's movement, right,
- 15:18Speaker 3: It's about you investing your time, your energy, producing assets,
- 15:22Speaker 3: generating network so that this can stimulate you right for
- 15:27Speaker 3: the rest of your life and or at least until.
- 15:29Speaker 1: The next cycle that we see you again.
- 15:31Speaker 3: So I just want to invest Fest to be taken
- 15:34Speaker 3: serious because I believe that this is one of the
- 15:35Speaker 3: most beautiful movements that happened in culture. Where we get
- 15:39Speaker 3: together and we think about our future. That's not happening
- 15:42Speaker 3: at most times. We're thinking about distracting ourselves from our
- 15:45Speaker 3: past or present circumstances. When we come to invest Fest,
- 15:49Speaker 3: we think about how we make a better future, and
- 15:51Speaker 3: that's up to the people.
- 15:52Speaker 1: There may be celebrities in there. It may be all
- 15:54Speaker 1: these beautiful big names fifty cent on the stage. You know,
- 15:58Speaker 1: many men and all of.
- 15:58Speaker 3: That but these brothers got money already, they got wealth
- 16:03Speaker 3: plans already.
- 16:04Speaker 1: When I think.
- 16:05Speaker 3: About the future and people saying, man, I was there
- 16:07Speaker 3: and my family put together trust, and we put together plans,
- 16:10Speaker 3: and we got more disciplined about our lives, and we
- 16:13Speaker 3: stepped up our businesses and we start studying different things.
- 16:16Speaker 1: And this is how we've implemented it, and this is
- 16:18Speaker 1: how we've grown.
- 16:19Speaker 3: This should be a documentary to where you're saying that
- 16:22Speaker 3: this is the growth from this year from last year,
- 16:25Speaker 3: and we just keep on growing and we have an
- 16:27Speaker 3: exponential growth. I just want people to take it that
- 16:30Speaker 3: series where you're documenting the future of wealth. You're breaking
- 16:34Speaker 3: a curse and you're building wealth, right because we all
- 16:37Speaker 3: starting as first generational curse breakers for the most part.
- 16:40Speaker 3: So that's all I want to say about a vest.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Vest. Make sure you show up and be at your
- 16:44Speaker 1: one hundred percent. There you have it well.
- 16:47Speaker 5: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
- 16:51Speaker 5: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador
- 16:55Speaker 5: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with
- 16:59Speaker 5: filming selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just some
- 17:03Speaker 5: of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President Donald J.
- 17:07Speaker 5: Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States Secretary of
