- 0:07Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
- 0:11Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 0:15Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 0:19Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
- 0:23Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
- 0:28Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
- 0:31Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
- 0:35Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
- 0:39Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
- 0:43Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
- 0:46Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

- 1:00Speaker 3: Does the American dream turned to an American nightmare.
- 1:03Speaker 4: In some parts of America? I would say yes. I
- 1:05Speaker 4: think there is some vast improvements that we need to make.
- 1:09Speaker 4: For the first time in a long time. I feel
- 1:11Speaker 4: like a lot more people are feeling hopeless. And we
- 1:14Speaker 4: took a pole like, are you everyone in chat do
- 1:16Speaker 4: you feel as if you are able to make more
- 1:20Speaker 4: money now than you were maybe let's say five or
- 1:23Speaker 4: six years ago. I think, just a true eye test,
- 1:26Speaker 4: I think more people are more concerned from a hopeless
- 1:31Speaker 4: revenue and money is not flowing as easily. So because
- 1:35Speaker 4: of all the debt things that we talked about earlier,
- 1:37Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that it's a dream state. And if
- 1:39Speaker 4: we're going to be very honest, I said it before,
- 1:41Speaker 4: but even the American dream of owning a home three
- 1:44Speaker 4: bedroom with a white pick offense, there was a banking product.
- 1:47Speaker 4: Student loans are a banking product that was a way
- 1:50Speaker 4: for banks to ensure that they would have enough money
- 1:53Speaker 4: coming in for a few generations. That's why you can't
- 1:56Speaker 4: file bankruptcy on a student low debt. So we're not
- 1:59Speaker 4: in the nightmare phase yet, but I think if we
- 2:02Speaker 4: don't fix some of these issues we are, we will
- 2:05Speaker 4: be entering a purgatory. I keep saying it, and I
- 2:08Speaker 4: don't know. I don't know how to express it better,
- 2:10Speaker 4: But I don't know if the last two presidents will
- 2:13Speaker 4: be able to run any fortune five hundred companies. And
- 2:16Speaker 4: if they can't, they can't run Rivian. So why should
- 2:20Speaker 4: you be president president the United States?
- 2:28Speaker 3: So they can't run this economy and it can't not
- 2:31Speaker 3: going well. It's a valid point.
- 2:35Speaker 5: I just don't like the idea of the American dream,
- 2:37Speaker 5: like you said, like, who's the author of it? What's
- 2:39Speaker 5: the premise of it? It never really worked for us,
- 2:43Speaker 5: it never was designed for us, And so I think,
- 2:45Speaker 5: like what we're doing is creating more realities than anything.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Like I don't I don't want anybody to have a dream.
- 2:50Speaker 5: I want them to look at their reality, see how
- 2:52Speaker 5: they can shape it, how they can mold it, how
- 2:54Speaker 5: they can create something that's inspirational for themselves and their
- 2:57Speaker 5: family and others. So is it dead? I mean we've
- 3:02Speaker 5: been we've been away for a while. I never I
- 3:03Speaker 5: never looked at America.
- 3:04Speaker 3: I love that.
- 3:07Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to be doing gloom. So
- 3:09Speaker 4: I do want to ask you going to an investmentst
- 3:11Speaker 4: like what are three tips you would give them to
- 3:13Speaker 4: build a multi million dollar brand if you were starting
- 3:16Speaker 4: from scratch.
- 3:18Speaker 6: Find a way to impact the most amount of people
- 3:23Speaker 6: that you can possibly can something that you know is
- 3:27Speaker 6: extremely impactful, revolutionary. A lot of times people start businesses
- 3:31Speaker 6: just to make money. I don't feel like that's the
- 3:33Speaker 6: best way to go about it. I feel like a
- 3:34Speaker 6: business should be started with impact first and then finance,
- 3:38Speaker 6: and then finance a second. So you should look to
- 3:41Speaker 6: see how can I, how can I add value, how
- 3:43Speaker 6: can I be impactful, how can I change people lives?
- 3:45Speaker 6: And then focus on the business revenue model later. That's
- 3:50Speaker 6: my opinion. Of course, you know, relationships are very big
- 3:52Speaker 6: on that, so mentorship, I would seek mentorship, I would
- 3:55Speaker 6: seek all kinds of different relationships in the industry, I
- 3:58Speaker 6: would I would you know, join different organizations of people
- 4:03Speaker 6: in your industry. If you're in truck and you should
- 4:05Speaker 6: be in the trucking organization. You should go to the
- 4:07Speaker 6: trucking conference. You should you know, be on the board
- 4:10Speaker 6: of the local trucking chapter in your neighborhood. That's extremely
- 4:15Speaker 6: important to just be, you know, fully involved in whatever
- 4:19Speaker 6: you are, whether that's in retail, whether that's in mental
- 4:21Speaker 6: health services, whether that's in logistics, whether that's in media.
- 4:26Speaker 6: You should be you know, on the inside, right and
- 4:31Speaker 6: one of the ways to be on the inside is
- 4:32Speaker 6: like I said, join these different organizations, volunteer, go to
- 4:36Speaker 6: different events, just build relationships. That's that's extremely important as well,
- 4:40Speaker 6: and really find out a way to be extremely disruptive
- 4:46Speaker 6: in the space. I think if you look at ear Leisia,
- 4:49Speaker 6: you know, it's an example of that. All three of
- 4:51Speaker 6: those really as far as you know, doing something that
- 4:54Speaker 6: had maximum value as far as you could reach millions
- 4:57Speaker 6: of people and change people's lives. When you're talking about
- 4:59Speaker 6: educating people about finances and investing in buying home with
- 5:03Speaker 6: different things in the nature.
- 5:04Speaker 3: That's life changing. So that that's the first thing.
- 5:07Speaker 6: And then the relationships speak for themselves as far as
- 5:09Speaker 6: everything that we've been able to curate is all based
- 5:11Speaker 6: on relationships. And then the last thing is just being disruptive.
- 5:15Speaker 6: You know, I don't think anybody has really been more
- 5:18Speaker 6: disruptive of what we've been able to curate as far
- 5:20Speaker 6: as in our space of finance, being able to come
- 5:24Speaker 6: and you know, how we curate the content and deliver
- 5:27Speaker 6: the message and use social media and break society norms
- 5:33Speaker 6: when it comes to you know, finance and different types
- 5:35Speaker 6: of business etiquette. We were disruptive and I think great, great,
- 5:41Speaker 6: companies are disruptive. Ubers disruptive. Airbnb is disruptive.

- 5:50Speaker 7: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

- 5:59Speaker 7: by little, day after day. It's like banking with P
- 6:03Speaker 7: and C Bank. It might seem boring to safe plan

- 7:41Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador
- 7:45Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
- 7:49Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 7:53Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 7:57Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christine know, the United States
- 8:01Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security under President Trump, attempted illegal border
- 8:06Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
- 8:09Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
- 8:12Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly
- 8:16Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will
- 8:20Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
- 8:24Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Do what's right, leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
- 8:33Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 8:38Speaker 6: You know, you have to be disruptive, So you could
- 8:40Speaker 6: be disruptive in a variety of different areas. But in
- 8:45Speaker 6: order to really you know, because right now we're in
- 8:47Speaker 6: the age of saturation, everybody has already done something that
- 8:51Speaker 6: you're probably looking to do. So how do you separate
- 8:53Speaker 6: yourself from that is to really shake things up?
- 8:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
- 8:59Speaker 5: I'll just add to it, you know, original messaging, like
- 9:01Speaker 5: you said, like the content has to be delivered or
- 9:05Speaker 5: your message has to be unique. It's one of those
- 9:07Speaker 5: things where we always say where we're looking at the
- 9:10Speaker 5: landscape and saying that we're gonna do something that's completely
- 9:13Speaker 5: out of bounds. Of what everybody would think and not
- 9:15Speaker 5: allowing people to put us inside of a box. Right,
- 9:18Speaker 5: It'd have been easy to say, like those are the
- 9:19Speaker 5: guys from they only know business. But you know, we
- 9:22Speaker 5: hip hop, we sports, with fashion, with travel, with all
- 9:25Speaker 5: these things.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Yea.
- 9:26Speaker 5: And that makes it very original in itself because how
- 9:29Speaker 5: many people could do that? You know, It's something we
- 9:30Speaker 5: take pride in being able to go chop it up
- 9:33Speaker 5: with Joe and anybody at his show and then also
- 9:36Speaker 5: be on Bloomberg, like you're going from button to Bloomberg.
- 9:38Speaker 5: Like how many people are in a landscaper that they
- 9:41Speaker 5: can do that?
- 9:42Speaker 3: Not many?
- 9:43Speaker 4: You know, Sorry, they couldn't sit around for the Patreon
- 9:45Speaker 4: Joe shot our Corey, but they had to go.
- 9:49Speaker 3: It makes it unique, It makes it original, I think.
- 9:51Speaker 5: And this is one of the things that gets overlooked
- 9:52Speaker 5: with us is that have an interaction with your audience.
- 9:56Speaker 3: A lot of these people live.
- 9:57Speaker 5: Inside of a social media platform, but you never see
- 10:01Speaker 5: these people in real life. Yeah, and so there's a
- 10:03Speaker 5: you know, it's a guarantee that you're probably gonna see us, right,
- 10:06Speaker 5: And every time we go tohere, even when we're up
- 10:07Speaker 5: here in Toronto, it's like Yo, what they doing at
- 10:09Speaker 5: the block party? Like, Yo, we want to we want
- 10:12Speaker 5: to see what the city is like, Yo, what are
- 10:14Speaker 5: they doing in the after spot?
- 10:15Speaker 3: Like? We want to be.
- 10:16Speaker 5: Everywhere because our audience is everywhere, and our audiences is
- 10:19Speaker 5: unique and it's dynamic and it goes across all genres
- 10:22Speaker 5: and all age ranges, and so we want to show
- 10:24Speaker 5: up at Pikemen and we're going to be watching the
- 10:26Speaker 5: game because we love sports, and so that doesn't take
- 10:29Speaker 5: anything away from what we do for a living, right,
- 10:31Speaker 5: Like we're able to have conversations about multitude or things
- 10:35Speaker 5: again because the messaging is unique, but it also encompasses
- 10:38Speaker 5: what we really are. And I think the biggest thing,
- 10:40Speaker 5: you know we're talking about million dollar brands and billion
- 10:42Speaker 5: dollar brands is.
- 10:44Speaker 3: Start bro like that be the number one thing. Like
- 10:49Speaker 3: you just wait and you wait and every day that
- 10:51Speaker 3: you wait. And I've experienced it myself, you know.
- 10:53Speaker 5: Being in education was just like every year that I
- 10:56Speaker 5: waited to take another course, it was like, all right,
- 10:59Speaker 5: somebody went I had somebody's got in the head.
- 11:01Speaker 3: The next crop of people are coming. You know. It's
- 11:04Speaker 3: one of those lesson that if you don't have to learn,
- 11:07Speaker 3: you shouldn't. Yeah, right.
- 11:09Speaker 5: We had this conversation about tech and it was like, yeah,
- 11:11Speaker 5: they're treating us like.
- 11:13Speaker 3: It's it's it's it's college basketball.
- 11:15Speaker 5: They're looking for the next freshmen to come in, and
- 11:17Speaker 5: every day that you wait to get better, there's another
- 11:19Speaker 5: crop of freshmen coming in to take your spot. And
- 11:21Speaker 5: so you should look at anything like that. You should
- 11:23Speaker 5: definitely look at business like that. Every day you wait,
- 11:25Speaker 5: there's a new there's a new upcoming class that's coming
- 11:28Speaker 5: with innovation. They're coming with disruption. They're coming with the
- 11:32Speaker 5: intent to knock you off the block. So start now.
- 11:36Speaker 4: So yeah, well you got anything to add to it? Yeah,
- 11:41Speaker 4: just I mean it's the one that's on your hoodie.
- 11:43Speaker 4: Consistency is key, even when S and P thing came up,
- 11:47Speaker 4: like I posted on Instagram like the it's interesting, like
- 11:50Speaker 4: how fast time will go? But I remember when that's
- 11:53Speaker 4: somep Global downrated the United States twelve years ago, but
- 11:56Speaker 4: it feels like it was like four or five years
- 11:58Speaker 4: ago when that happened. So consistent in your craft. Number two,
- 12:02Speaker 4: you have to find a gap that no one is feeling.
- 12:04Speaker 4: So for me, when I used to watch CNBC shout
- 12:07Speaker 4: out to everyone, their Frank turn Over. Josh, who has
- 12:13Speaker 4: a new show on Friday's, checked it out. But when
- 12:15Speaker 4: I watch NBC, I know there's restrictions on why, but
- 12:18Speaker 4: no one would just say this company at this price,
- 12:21Speaker 4: I'm looking to buy here. Get out there like that,
- 12:25Speaker 4: you have to find a need, So even in healthcare,
- 12:27Speaker 4: there's a lot of room where people can innovate in
- 12:30Speaker 4: healthcare and finance, and in tech. How to break in
- 12:33Speaker 4: the tech, how to build products and sale at scale,
- 12:37Speaker 4: I think is key. And then the third for me
- 12:39Speaker 4: is like you have to be able to do something
- 12:41Speaker 4: that no one else in the world can do. And
- 12:43Speaker 4: when you put those together with the other tips you
- 12:45Speaker 4: guys mentioned, like being able to network, and even over
- 12:48Speaker 4: the last two years, I've been out a lot more
- 12:50Speaker 4: as a result, like because people have to feel your
- 12:53Speaker 4: energy see if they can be able to trust you.
- 12:55Speaker 4: But doing something no one else can do consistently telling
- 12:59Speaker 4: people about it help and if I can add a
- 13:01Speaker 4: bonus one like find a way to help a million
- 13:03Speaker 4: people for free. Regardless of all the criticism I get
- 13:07Speaker 4: about pricing, which is always interesting to me because I
- 13:10Speaker 4: like people like you charge a lot, but I'm like
- 13:12Speaker 4: the majority of people who make money for me make
- 13:15Speaker 4: money for me for free. So find a way in
- 13:18Speaker 4: your craft to be able to help a million people
- 13:20Speaker 4: for free. That work was spread, and then the business
- 13:23Speaker 4: will come back to you.
