- 0:02Speaker 1: you think you can tell who will grow up to
- 0:04Speaker 1: be a millionaire and who won't?
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's mamma.
- 0:21Speaker 1: And joining us now our American mama's Terry Edville and
- 0:23Speaker 1: Kimberly Burlesson. You know, in high school, I think we
- 0:27Speaker 1: were able to figure out who was going to marry
- 0:29Speaker 1: a millionaire and she did. We were bunny, Yeah, nor
- 0:35Speaker 1: her private flame plane that they fly on the cobo
- 0:38Speaker 1: all the time that you see the pictures on Facebook.
- 0:40Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that fits, that was going to happen.
- 0:44Speaker 1: But I don't know if we could tell necessarily who
- 0:46Speaker 1: was going to be a millionaire. You know, from from
- 0:50Speaker 1: our high school, there's a couple of guys that that
- 0:52Speaker 1: end up being millionaires. Are like, huh how about that?
- 0:54Speaker 2: Yeah? Interesting? So do you.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Guys do you all think you can tell who's going
- 0:58Speaker 1: to make it big?
- 0:59Speaker 3: I feel like I can tell. I feel like I
- 1:01Speaker 3: can tell through Millionaire Blueprints. Having the magazine and interviewing
- 1:05Speaker 3: so many millionaires.
- 1:07Speaker 1: You've had a chance to see.
- 1:08Speaker 3: I've had a chance to see a pattern. Yeah, and
- 1:10Speaker 3: the pattern that I see is that if you have
- 1:12Speaker 3: ADHD or your dyslexic chances are you're going to be
- 1:17Speaker 3: running a company one day. Hey how about that that
- 1:20Speaker 3: it seems to be it makes you a common thing.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Well a lot of times, I mean ADHD people they
- 1:26Speaker 3: probably have a laundry out the kazoo, dishes piled up,
- 1:30Speaker 3: They won't be on time for things. But what they
- 1:33Speaker 3: do is they obsess and they can out obsess you
- 1:36Speaker 3: on anything, and they go from from the beginning of
- 1:40Speaker 3: a thought to execution with no middle ground. They just
- 1:43Speaker 3: like go for things. And to me, that's what I
- 1:46Speaker 3: think is the different what sets them apart from other people.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Other people are cautious, they try to like figure out
- 1:52Speaker 3: what are all the ways that this could fail. ADHD
- 1:55Speaker 3: people they don't think that way. They just don't think
- 1:58Speaker 3: that way. They just go for it.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Yes, I thought ADHD meant you cannot focus. But when
- 2:03Speaker 2: it's something they feel passionate about.
- 2:04Speaker 3: ADHD people can't focus on the mundane, mundane things, but
- 2:08Speaker 3: they will get obsessed and fixated on something like elon.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I've always thought about this in a way
- 2:16Speaker 2: that I mean, I don't know if this is socially
- 2:19Speaker 2: correct or not. But I always thought millionaires hang out
- 2:24Speaker 2: with millionaires, so they meet each other. So in other words,
- 2:27Speaker 2: if you grow up with in a wealthy family, right,
- 2:30Speaker 2: and your dad or your mom their company has millions,
- 2:34Speaker 2: you're going to socialize with other people who have millions.
- 2:39Speaker 2: And then it's kind of like this. So my children
- 2:42Speaker 2: have told me that going to the Southfield, like your child,
- 2:47Speaker 2: all they saw were parents driving up to that school
- 2:49Speaker 2: in their scrubs or you had, you know, they were lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs,
- 2:54Speaker 2: business leaders, you know, weathermen and you know, so it
- 2:58Speaker 2: was no question in their minds. And they were going
- 3:00Speaker 2: to college and those are the things that they chose.
- 3:03Speaker 2: So I've got one that's a doctor, one that's going
- 3:06Speaker 2: to be a lawyer, and a nurse. And that's what
- 3:08Speaker 2: they saw. So it's to me, it's like what you
- 3:10Speaker 2: see growing up and who you hang out with.
- 3:14Speaker 3: That's kind of like that book rich Dad, Poor dad.
- 3:17Speaker 3: You know, you are who you surround yourself with.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Yeah, that you become more like the five people you
- 3:21Speaker 1: spend the most time.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Around, exactly. Yeah, And so yeah, you're absolutely right on that.
- 3:26Speaker 3: You know, one thing about this particular thing that I've
- 3:29Speaker 3: seen about ADHD people is that and they're self made,
- 3:33Speaker 3: A lot of them are self made. Is that it
- 3:36Speaker 3: is stifled in children. There are a lot of kids
- 3:38Speaker 3: that have this and the first thing parents want to
- 3:40Speaker 3: do is put them on ridling, put them on adderall
- 3:42Speaker 3: to control them. And to me, I see it as
- 3:46Speaker 3: a as a superpower. And I wish more parents would
- 3:49Speaker 3: see in their kids, even if they're wild, this is
- 3:53Speaker 3: a superpower in them. And it's I had one so
- 3:56Speaker 3: and I did not do that to mine, but I
- 3:58Speaker 3: watched it. He was not the easy is to raise.
- 4:01Speaker 3: But I have watched him sore and I think some
- 4:04Speaker 3: of that is because of that focus that he has
- 4:07Speaker 3: right right on the right things. Thank goodness, I have my.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Kids insist I'm Adhd. I insist I'm not uh and
- 4:18Speaker 1: I'm not a millionaire, so that proves it I'm not Adhd.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Right that that's incredibly successful.
- 4:25Speaker 1: You are?
- 4:25Speaker 3: You are focused?
- 4:28Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, But I've never thought about that part
- 4:31Speaker 2: of it, you know, like you think about Elon musk as,
- 4:34Speaker 2: you know, completely focused, completely you know. I'm sure he
- 4:38Speaker 2: has people that does his housework or whatever.
- 4:39Speaker 1: But but I wonder how much of that is like
- 4:41Speaker 1: the autistic tendencies.
- 4:43Speaker 2: That he has true you.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Know where he really he's not always great with people, right,
- 4:47Speaker 1: But man, you give him a problem to solve and
- 4:49Speaker 1: he's thinking about it constantly and thinking outside the box.
- 4:54Speaker 3: I'm thinking everybody's on the spectrum wrong level. It just
- 4:57Speaker 3: seems like I see it every day. It's easier to
- 5:00Speaker 3: pick up on different people, and there's there's different levels
- 5:03Speaker 3: of it. But it seems a lot more common than
- 5:05Speaker 3: I ever thought it was.
- 5:06Speaker 1: But for you, it's is can somebody have an idea
- 5:09Speaker 1: that other people may not have and then have the
- 5:11Speaker 1: determination to go after that idea. That's really kind of
- 5:14Speaker 1: what we're talking.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Yeah, and not let it go because I'm a good starter.
- 5:18Speaker 2: I have ideas, yes, and I'll get started on it,
- 5:20Speaker 2: and then I get bored and I'll go to something else.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Like I think about all the books I could have
- 5:24Speaker 2: written had I just stuck with it them. I've got
- 5:27Speaker 2: a bunch of three chapter books.
- 5:32Speaker 1: The three chapter books. Those are pretty good. Those are
- 5:34Speaker 1: pretty good.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Little that's it.
- 5:35Speaker 3: That's the title for a book.
- 5:38Speaker 2: That's the right thing. That's right.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I love it.
- 5:40Speaker 3: If you like that.
