1:56
Speaker 2: Oh man, we've been here all day. What was your
2:01
Speaker 2: biggest lesson?
2:02
Speaker 4: I'll start with you, like the biggest lesson, biggest takeaway
2:04
Speaker 4: that had like the most impact on you from investing.
2:08
Speaker 3: I mean, so, I mean we're just in general, it's
2:10
Speaker 3: always the power networking, like you know, as far as
2:14
Speaker 3: so all right, So Steve Harvey has never met fifty
2:16
Speaker 3: cent before. I don't think they haven't really chocolate and
2:18
Speaker 3: so they connected for the first time and then they
2:21
Speaker 3: was talking about business like they was talking literally like
2:24
Speaker 3: Steve Harby was telling them, like, you need.
2:25
Speaker 2: To do this, you need to do this.
2:26
Speaker 5: We can work together on that.
2:28
Speaker 3: So just seeing that first hand, that's at the highest
2:30
Speaker 3: level possible. But it just reinforces the theory that like
2:35
Speaker 3: they obviously have ways to get in touch with each other.
2:38
Speaker 3: They follow each other on Instagram, they can shoot each
2:41
Speaker 3: other at DM there's nothing like an in person. The
2:44
Speaker 3: in person within fifteen minutes, they talking about doing business
2:47
Speaker 3: together for twenty years. They've known of each other. Crazy,
2:52
Speaker 3: they have close friends, right, they could have they could
2:54
Speaker 3: have done this twenty year, but it just wasn't you know,
2:57
Speaker 3: we're not we're not connected.
2:58
Speaker 2: And can we talk about writing ironm at Foster's that
3:01
Speaker 2: as well? For sure?
3:02
Speaker 3: That the rights, That's what I'm saying. So and then yeah,
3:04
Speaker 3: the good energy, so that for sure. And then you know,
3:07
Speaker 3: as far as panels, but what I could you know,
3:12
Speaker 3: I don't really get to see a lot of the
3:13
Speaker 3: best because I'm behind the stage. But man, your your panel,
3:18
Speaker 3: your segment.
3:19
Speaker 2: Got a lot of great feedback.
3:21
Speaker 3: Artificial intelligence X shot to her at least like five
3:26
Speaker 3: ten people will hit me like yo, who's this I
3:28
Speaker 3: need to meet this person like she's super dope, she's
3:30
Speaker 3: super knowledgeable. That got great feedback Home Buyers Workshop. Yes,
3:35
Speaker 3: that is something that a lot of people I think
3:37
Speaker 3: received a lot of value in. I can go on
3:39
Speaker 3: and on student loans whatever. So as far as like
3:42
Speaker 3: I look at it, like, okay, there's the relationship aspect
3:45
Speaker 3: of it, which that's one thing meeting people.
3:48
Speaker 4: Can we say relationships are the biggest asset that no
3:50
Speaker 4: one talks about the values proper.
3:52
Speaker 3: For sure, that's gonna be determining fact. So the relationship,
3:55
Speaker 3: the relationship aspect for sure. Then from the informational aspect,
3:58
Speaker 3: that really just depends on what you were interested in
4:01
Speaker 3: and what you you know, went to right because some
4:05
Speaker 3: people didn't go to every everything.
4:06
Speaker 5: That's okay, but you have to get the.
4:08
Speaker 3: Individual value from there, but also from just looking at
4:14
Speaker 3: it from a scale standpoint and seeing all the businesses
4:16
Speaker 3: in the Vendom marketplace. And Tye actually Todd Davis had said, so,
4:21
Speaker 3: Ti Davis, that's how that's how a camera guy shout
4:23
Speaker 3: to Tie and he asked he said he was gonna
4:25
Speaker 3: make a video because he was like, you know, top,
4:27
Speaker 3: you see us you're going to see tie. He's around
4:29
Speaker 3: us all the time. And he was like he was
4:31
Speaker 3: he was walking through the Vendom market place to capture
4:33
Speaker 3: content on one day and he was like he walked
4:35
Speaker 3: through like six rows of booths and he was like nobody.
4:41
Speaker 5: Like tried to sell him.
4:42
Speaker 2: Like they didn't.
4:43
Speaker 3: They didn't try to, Like he was like he thought
4:45
Speaker 3: that that was a mistake because they wasn't being aggressive enough.
4:49
Speaker 5: And he was like, Yo, they don't even know who
4:50
Speaker 5: I am, you know what I'm saying, Like like, yo, but.
4:52
Speaker 3: You know I might want to buy a product, or
4:54
Speaker 3: I might want to, you know, tell you tell the
4:56
Speaker 3: guys about your product, Like this is dope.
4:57
Speaker 5: He was like they they was just looking at me
5:00
Speaker 5: waiting for me to come to them.
5:02
Speaker 2: Doesn't work like that.
5:03
Speaker 3: And he's like, yo, I'm not just gonna go out
5:05
Speaker 3: of my way and just go to you. Like nine
5:07
Speaker 3: times out of ten.
5:08
Speaker 2: That's the same.
5:09
Speaker 4: The only person to tell me something was Angel Well
5:11
Speaker 4: with the glasses, you gotta be that hey.
5:14
Speaker 2: She's like, hey, you want it?
5:17
Speaker 6: I didn't even think of Like obviously, when we walk
5:19
Speaker 6: into space, it's like people want us to come to
5:23
Speaker 6: but like, yeah, I mean I would imagine that what
5:25
Speaker 6: happened to and some of the guys that they it's
5:28
Speaker 6: like all these guys in there. But yeah, we always
5:30
Speaker 6: tell people it's the surrounding people. You got to attack
5:33
Speaker 6: the periminal. If you know, to takes the pictures of
5:36
Speaker 6: us and he's walking, I gotta get them. You see
5:38
Speaker 6: b you know he's with us. You got you see Pierre,
5:41
Speaker 6: you see that. You gotta go get them because they
5:44
Speaker 6: can relay a message to it.
5:45
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
5:45
Speaker 3: But then I was also very inSpot to a lot
5:47
Speaker 3: of young people. I mean, we had the kids from
5:49
Speaker 3: our community that came. Then there was kids from the
5:53
Speaker 3: Bronx that came. There was another group of kids from
5:55
Speaker 3: the Bronx that came that just I didn't even wasn't
5:57
Speaker 3: aware of them.
5:58
Speaker 5: They just randomly stopped me in the hallway and that
6:02
Speaker 5: was dope. That was a dope moment. There was a
6:04
Speaker 5: lot of young.
6:04
Speaker 3: People there with like older chaperone shots to all the
6:07
Speaker 3: chaperones and group leaders that took kids there. But that
6:11
Speaker 3: was dope to I met some college kids, some kids
6:13
Speaker 3: that just graduated from college that were there. So it
6:18
Speaker 3: was a lot of young young people, like teenagers, early twenties.
6:23
Speaker 2: That was there for sure.
6:25
Speaker 3: But I think the biggest takeaway for me whenever going
6:28
Speaker 3: to something like invest Fest, which there really is nothing
6:31
Speaker 3: like invest Fest, but whenever going to like that environment,
6:36
Speaker 3: the biggest takeaway is did I leave with three people
6:39
Speaker 3: that I could connect with? Ill keep saying that because
6:42
Speaker 3: it's the relationships is always the most important aspect you're
6:45
Speaker 3: going to get the information. Information is powerful, but if
6:48
Speaker 3: you have to learn and some peoples like, well how
6:52
Speaker 3: do I network with people?
6:53
Speaker 2: You have to walk up to them.
6:55
Speaker 3: And I actually did do a whole talk on this
6:58
Speaker 3: for Eyo University. If you're interested, maybe all ship from
7:02
Speaker 3: Mark is in Toronto. Yeah, so, but it's it's not
7:06
Speaker 3: as complicated as you think. You just got to, you know,
7:09
Speaker 3: get out of your comfort zone and just find ways
7:11
Speaker 3: to just network and meet people because that in person
7:15
Speaker 3: experience very rare. You're gonna be around twenty thousand people
7:19
Speaker 3: that's only there for business. They're not there at the party,
7:22
Speaker 3: they're not there that you know, they only there for business.
7:24
Speaker 3: So that is always going to be the takeaway from me.
7:28
Speaker 5: Man.
7:28
Speaker 3: But I feel like a lot of people just did
7:31
Speaker 3: meet a lot of great people from what I've been
7:32
Speaker 3: hearing and then seeing and it was a lot of
7:35
Speaker 3: international people from Africa, people from Canada. Toronto was up there,
7:40
Speaker 3: heavy from London.
7:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, fact fact London was in there.
7:47
Speaker 2: Definitely there. That's a fact.
7:49
Speaker 5: Few few things that I just observed.
7:52
Speaker 2: Did you connect with three?
7:53
Speaker 6: Because I think even now at this level, they probably think, oh,
7:55
Speaker 6: we must know everybody.
7:56
Speaker 2: There's nobody be me connecting. Did you? Did you? Yeah?
7:59
Speaker 5: I mean with a bunch of.
8:00
Speaker 2: People, right, a million people? Yeah, for sure.
8:02
Speaker 3: But then it's also about foster fostering even strong relationships
8:06
Speaker 3: and the people that you know absolutely all right, you know,
8:09
Speaker 3: all right, let's do this. You're talking to whoever it
8:11
Speaker 3: could be to be like yeah, you know, I haven't
8:13
Speaker 3: seen him in a while, Like it's the first time
8:15
Speaker 3: I'm seeing you. Let's talk like that's that's part of
8:18
Speaker 3: it too, Like you might not you might not see
8:20
Speaker 3: the person all the time. You get a chance to
8:22
Speaker 3: beat them, it's like, all right, let's I haven't seen
8:25
Speaker 3: you in four months. Let's build like, let's really figure
8:27
Speaker 3: this thing out so we can do something together. That's crazy,
8:29
Speaker 3: Like I was going to start there, but you kind
8:30
Speaker 3: of ended it with it was. It felt like this
8:33
Speaker 3: is like a reunion.
8:33
Speaker 2: Now.
8:34
Speaker 6: Absolutely there's people like, yo, this is my third one.
8:36
Speaker 6: I'm like, remember, of course, I remember you. We took
8:38
Speaker 6: the picture people show. I remember somebody was showing us
8:40
Speaker 6: the braces that they have from each of that. I'm like,
8:43
Speaker 6: this feels like a reunion where we're seeing people, We're
8:46
Speaker 6: seeing their development, We're seeing their growth even internally. Like
8:49
Speaker 6: I was telling, I'm watching Pierre developed from the kids
8:54
Speaker 6: who we used to have on the basketball team in
8:56
Speaker 6: the sixth grade to now somebody that's handling the logistics
9:00
Speaker 6: to making sure everybody's good like good like his development
9:03
Speaker 6: abs development over the past four years when he started
9:06
Speaker 6: working Earn Your Leisure to now it was like the
9:08
Speaker 6: CEO over this company and his brand and everything he
9:10
Speaker 6: does on the vestor has that growth. But community, even
9:13
Speaker 6: from the people that were there, was like I think
9:16
Speaker 6: that was what really stuck out to me. I had
9:19
Speaker 6: this encounter with this young man and he came up
9:23
Speaker 6: to me. He was like, Troy, I want to tell
9:25
Speaker 6: you the story. Can you stop for like two minutes.
9:27
Speaker 6: I'm like, of course, I'm gonna stop, but let me
9:28
Speaker 6: hear the story.
9:29
Speaker 2: He said.
9:30
Speaker 6: I brought this homeless gentleman in. He was standing outside.
9:34
Speaker 6: He asked me what was going on. I said, you
9:35
Speaker 6: got to come in. They didn't let even get a
9:37
Speaker 6: brace thatt. I bought him a ticket. I said, that's great, man,
9:40
Speaker 6: I appreciate that. He said, but let me tell you
9:41
Speaker 6: what happened. When he came into the marketplace. He said,
9:44
Speaker 6: I went around to vendors that had clothing, and each
9:48
Speaker 6: vendor put a package of clothing together and they gave
9:53
Speaker 6: him clothes. Then I got a couple of people to
9:56
Speaker 6: donate money, and he went to the food village and
9:59
Speaker 6: had vouchers to eat. And I'm like, yo, that's community.
10:04
Speaker 6: I had another gentlemen, this is crazy teenager, and that
10:07
Speaker 6: energy from the youth was there.
10:08
Speaker 2: He was like, look I was.
10:10
Speaker 6: I was nineteen years old. I was trying to get
10:12
Speaker 6: my ticket. I was trying to save it up to it.

10:18
Speaker 6: And I'm like, all right, So what happened? He's like, look,

11:51
Speaker 6: with information. I was just so proud to hear his story.
11:54
Speaker 6: But that's what it's about. I mean, there's so many
11:57
Speaker 6: of these community stories. We had a woman who a
11:58
Speaker 6: vender was selling waste beads. Yeah, yeah, not only is
12:04
Speaker 6: she making a lot of money in the drandom market
12:06
Speaker 6: from waste beads, but she's giving it back to communities
12:08
Speaker 6: in Africa. Like, there's so many these community stories that
12:12
Speaker 6: obviously the main stage is a lot of information obviously
12:14
Speaker 6: is valuable and everybody that's up there. But there's so
12:16
Speaker 6: many of these stories and so much community that's happening.
12:20
Speaker 6: I got like almost emotional thinking about it, like, Yo,
12:24
Speaker 6: this is this is what it's about. This is what
12:26
Speaker 6: community looks like. This is what coming together looks like.
12:30
Speaker 6: This is what working together looks like. This is what
12:33
Speaker 6: bond bonds.
12:34
Speaker 2: Right.
12:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, so yeah it felt like that reunion field, but
12:37
Speaker 6: it felt like community too.
12:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was amazing.
12:40
Speaker 4: One thing I picked up on the bigger or wealth
12:43
Speaker 4: theater person, the kinder they are, I notice is always
12:46
Speaker 4: the middlemen who act like they're the start to show.
12:48
Speaker 4: Like don people's got off stage and say great, hey,
12:50
Speaker 4: gret job. He's like, I'm gonna stay here and watch you.
12:52
Speaker 4: If you need anything, let me help you, like any advice,
12:55
Speaker 4: Like just do. I'm like, it's like, I watch your
12:57
Speaker 4: stuff do. I'm like, damn, I.
12:58
Speaker 2: Mean, I know he's been on the show, but he
13:00
Speaker 2: knew information I've covered. He went over in video. He
13:03
Speaker 2: was like, how let you know? So just to see
13:05
Speaker 2: his curiosity was like, damn, this is time special, dude.
13:10
Speaker 4: The interview with fifty was amazing for a couple of points,
13:14
Speaker 4: even though him and Puff had their battles for a
13:16
Speaker 4: long period of time. It tells you how serious that
13:19
Speaker 4: situation is. When even now fifty won't say nothing bad
13:22
Speaker 4: about Puff, it tells you, like he talked about it,
13:24
Speaker 4: like listen, I was paying a company this. They were
13:28
Speaker 4: tacking on double what they took six million dollars from him.
13:32
Speaker 4: But so now if you try and sue, I'm going
13:34
Speaker 4: to defame your name and ruin your career and calling
13:37
Speaker 4: it that's scary as hell.
13:40
Speaker 2: They got it some day, I know, y'all tell the
13:41
Speaker 2: four story.
13:42
Speaker 4: That's scary to be like, Okay, you took thirty million
13:46
Speaker 4: dollars from me, but if I sue.
13:47
Speaker 2: You're going to ruin my entire legacy. Yeah, that's insane.
13:54
Speaker 4: And then I think just the power of like connecting
13:57
Speaker 4: with the people. You know, I love being amongst the
13:58
Speaker 4: people and shaking hand and kissing babies. But just to
14:01
Speaker 4: see the impact, like it was a lady was like, yo,
14:04
Speaker 4: I joined in twenty twenty, so I started with fifteen
14:08
Speaker 4: thousand at one point two million from your time, Like
14:11
Speaker 4: what like I'm proud of It's.
14:13
Speaker 2: Like, what do you like? I don't need I don't
14:15
Speaker 2: even need to testimony.
14:16
Speaker 4: The fact that you just are making the money when
14:19
Speaker 4: you look happy and you're taking care of your family

Speaker 3: investments that were not speaking. You can only put so
14:46
Speaker 3: many people. Had a hundred and twenty speaker, so you
14:48
Speaker 3: can only put so many people on the bill.
14:50
Speaker 2: And that's why when you get on stage, you got
14:51
Speaker 2: to make the most of it, because it's some competition
14:53
Speaker 2: in the bill.
14:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's more and more competitive at the end. And

Speaker 5: was just dope.
16:25
Speaker 3: You know, really feels like the Grammys or the s piece.
16:29
Speaker 3: And then also speaking of investments in a highlight moment,
16:33
Speaker 3: as I said, we had fifty and you know, of
16:34
Speaker 3: course fifty was a major inspiration for everything as far
16:37
Speaker 3: as give it to that try and you know, changed
16:39
Speaker 3: the game a few different times, a bunch of times.
16:42
Speaker 3: So I don't know if he was there, but I
16:43
Speaker 3: actually also said that you were okay, So yeah, you know,
16:47
Speaker 3: and somebody that we met four years ago, yeah, four
16:50
Speaker 3: years ago live yeah, so five twenty twenty five, yeah
16:56
Speaker 3: for sure. So yeah, so you know we uh, you know,
17:01
Speaker 3: we've built Early Legion. We've been doing this. That was
17:04
Speaker 3: a financial advisor. He was educated before we had Early Legion,
17:07
Speaker 3: so it was still in the realm of educating.
17:10
Speaker 4: Why do you always tell people that because it's a
17:12
Speaker 4: good business lesson in it that you're a financial advisor.
17:15
Speaker 3: Because some people think, you know, sometimes dropped out people
17:19
Speaker 3: like your houses got qualified to speak, I actually did
17:24
Speaker 3: something even though you don't have to do it for
17:26
Speaker 3: a living.
17:26
Speaker 2: Yeah but no, no, no, no, you have to level.
17:30
Speaker 6: But I love when he says it because it talks
17:33
Speaker 6: about purpose of just walking in it, and you know
17:35
Speaker 6: what I mean, like you're doing it just because you
17:38
Speaker 6: feel like that's what you're supposed to be doing. That's
17:40
Speaker 6: a career choice. But sometimes that might be your purpose. Right,
17:44
Speaker 6: So he was already in the world of finance. I
17:46
Speaker 6: was already in education. The fact that this is financial
17:49
Speaker 6: education we have just now just added another layer to
17:52
Speaker 6: the purpose.
17:52
Speaker 5: And the next layer is we're coming out of a book.
17:56
Speaker 3: Yes, our first thank you appreciate, our first piece of
18:00
Speaker 3: literature will be released in early twenty twenty five, but
18:04
Speaker 3: you can pre order it now.
18:06
Speaker 5: You deserve to be rich, Yes, you deserve to be rich.
18:08
Speaker 2: Great title.
18:09
Speaker 5: I appreciate it. And yeah, man, you know this is
18:14
Speaker 5: you know, we just wanted to eventually we had to
18:17
Speaker 5: write a book.
18:18
Speaker 3: But I feel like this is something that we can
18:20
Speaker 3: just just add the value that it can be documented
18:24
Speaker 3: in time and hopefully stand the test of time and
18:27
Speaker 3: be one of the books that you know, we talk
18:28
Speaker 3: about Who Stole My Cheese? And Rich Dad, Poor Dad,
18:31
Speaker 3: and Honey Masters of the Game, and this is a
18:35
Speaker 3: lot of books, but not a lot of books written
18:38
Speaker 3: from our perspective, from our culture. So you know, we
18:42
Speaker 3: wanted to just be one of the people that added
18:44
Speaker 3: to the literature aspect of it. And then I'm sure
18:47
Speaker 3: we'll have some other some other doors to kick out,
18:52
Speaker 3: some other balls and some other people that might be
18:55
Speaker 3: you know coming through you know, but but yeah, go to.
18:59
Speaker 2: You Key's book on the word.
19:04
Speaker 3: The metaverse, oh Man, go to you Deserve to Be
19:09
Speaker 3: Rich book dot com and you can pre order it
19:12
Speaker 3: and special discount for all the pre orders, and we'll
19:16
Speaker 3: be talking about the more because it doesn't come out
19:17
Speaker 3: for a couple of months. But just wanted to announce
19:18
Speaker 3: that because we announced that on stage with fifty Yester.
19:22
Speaker 2: And we talk about them points of dress.
19:23
Speaker 4: I know people think just do it for like ego
19:25
Speaker 4: to some reasons dressing, yes, but you like, I know
19:28
Speaker 4: it's talked about.
19:28
Speaker 2: You have to address how you want to be addressed.
19:30
Speaker 4: But I'm telling you there's a difference between me walking
19:32
Speaker 4: through with the suit versus you know.
19:35
Speaker 5: It's very important. And then also the Don Peoples things.
19:37
Speaker 3: So remember the guy that won the contest that we
19:41
Speaker 3: did to people, Yes, me and him Romayne from Bloomberg
19:47
Speaker 3: and Don Peebles was all having a conversation backstage and
19:50
Speaker 3: for forty minutes because he works for Finnro and he's
19:53
Speaker 3: trying to get in oh trying to get into real
19:56
Speaker 3: estate develop So Dom was just literally like just talking
20:00
Speaker 3: about the ups and downs his experiences, the challenges, like
20:03
Speaker 3: he was literally it wasn't just like just hey, I'm
20:05
Speaker 3: gonna shaking hand.
20:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like he was having like a full blown compilation.
20:09
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is somebody that's networks was a seven
20:11
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars and he was just free with the fruit,
20:15
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.
20:15
Speaker 5: So I thought that that was thought.
20:17
Speaker 3: I just wanted to highlight that because a lot of
20:18
Speaker 3: times people don't be like I'm gonna meet somebody.
20:20
Speaker 5: I'm not exact.
20:22
Speaker 3: And then also Damon John said something that was ill
20:25
Speaker 3: when he was like, you know, I'm sure you guys
20:28
Speaker 3: invested to be here, and a lot of your friends
20:29
Speaker 3: are saying like this is a waste of money. Why
20:32
Speaker 3: you're gonna come. You're not gonna get no value out
20:34
Speaker 3: of this. And he was like that the same people
20:35
Speaker 3: used to say that to me. He was like, and
20:37
Speaker 3: those people are crackheads. So he was like, yo, like,
20:42
Speaker 3: don't take advice from losers. He was like, yo, like
20:46
Speaker 3: people is always gonna find some level of negativity to
20:50
Speaker 3: try to, you know, tear it down or whatever.
20:52
Speaker 5: He was.
20:54
Speaker 3: Focus on the people that's here, don't focus on the
20:57
Speaker 3: noise that's trying to discourage you.
20:58
Speaker 6: But as far as dressing, before you go to dressing,
21:01
Speaker 6: because I wanted to say that I'm glad you brought
21:04
Speaker 6: up to Don Peoples. And because because Bryce won that
21:06
Speaker 6: that was like one of those raffles we did. You
21:08
Speaker 6: know a lot of times people were like, it's a raffle,
21:09
Speaker 6: nobody ever wins it. But like, no, not only did
21:12
Speaker 6: he do that, he was winning for like two hours.
21:15
Speaker 2: This wasn't like he was that conversation. Then he was
21:18
Speaker 2: backstage with him and then all ask this person he
21:21
Speaker 2: was at the dinner.
21:22
Speaker 5: He's cool.
21:24
Speaker 2: Energy matters, Louis the thirteen.
21:27
Speaker 5: He was cool, cool, cool man.
21:29
Speaker 2: He's really happening.
21:29
Speaker 3: Far as dressing, I think it's important to curate because
21:33
Speaker 3: it is important.
21:34
Speaker 5: Like Steve Harvey came with that Oh my gosh, Alley
21:38
Speaker 5: Gator ladies.
21:40
Speaker 2: I said, I said that was gonna happen.
21:42
Speaker 3: Said that cost ten thousand. He made fashion prom daily.
21:44
Speaker 3: They said that, of course, not not a thousand dollars.
21:47
Speaker 3: But the shoes get on there. Yeah, I think just
21:50
Speaker 3: they just showed the jacket. He had the jacket and
21:53
Speaker 3: he had the shoes. But say what you want about
21:56
Speaker 3: Steve Harvey you're going to notice. Notice, it's gonna hold
22:00
Speaker 3: him in a certain level of respect. Like that's the
22:02
Speaker 3: first thing fifty said us like this, like you know,
22:07
Speaker 3: I mean, like it's a joke, but he knows truth.
22:11
Speaker 2: If we walked in fifty he felt felt short. He's
22:14
Speaker 2: like cool, cool. I thought, I wore a white fabin.
22:16
Speaker 2: He was like, take it, try to outdress this.
22:21
Speaker 3: So elevated, but it's important, I think, And that's why
22:24
Speaker 3: I wanted to wear a shuit. I feel like we
22:27
Speaker 3: have elevated to a very important role in business globally. Absolutely, globally,
22:34
Speaker 3: like when you look at when we up there, like
22:36
Speaker 3: you said, with I m F conference and and you know,
22:40
Speaker 3: the DAVO and stuff like that. So only people to
22:44
Speaker 3: do the world too, that's the fact. So I feel
22:46
Speaker 3: like sometimes people will judge a book by its cover, absolutely,
22:54
Speaker 3: and sometimes you gotta do things provocative. But then also
22:57
Speaker 3: you gotta you have to be mindful of the type
23:01
Speaker 3: of image that you're curating so you can be held
23:04
Speaker 3: in the regard that you want to be held in.
23:06
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
23:07
Speaker 4: I agree that there is a difference between and it
23:11
Speaker 4: shouldn't matter, But like you said, people do judge and
23:13
Speaker 4: they're assessing can you put certain things together, quality of material,
23:19
Speaker 4: Like because if you're talking about Walton, you have a
23:21
Speaker 4: forty dollars suit, something is off. So fellas I'm telling
23:26
Speaker 4: it does make a difference. Even in the presentation, I
23:28
Speaker 4: knew it would be a big moment.
23:30
Speaker 2: I had to wear suit. It wouldn't hit the same
23:33
Speaker 2: in j's and shorts.
23:34
Speaker 4: So you have to pick because you're going to attract
23:38
Speaker 4: and detracted people based on what you do have on
23:41
Speaker 4: and the information that you give.
23:42
Speaker 2: That's a fact. Y'all want y'all on that.
23:45
Speaker 5: Man, all right, sorry for the investments talk, but it
23:48
Speaker 5: was important.
23:49
Speaker 2: Man, No, It's important and the most legendary.
23:52
Speaker 6: And it was like I said when I when I
23:54
Speaker 6: told people like history awaits us, it was because I
23:56
Speaker 6: want them to mentally prepare because you're part of this. Yeah,
24:00
Speaker 6: Like yes, obviously as founders of it, we're part of it.
24:03
Speaker 6: Obviously people that don't stay their part of it. But
24:06
Speaker 6: the people that are in the audience, like y'all gonna
24:09
Speaker 6: remember this moment like this is being documented shot like
24:12
Speaker 6: shout out to the AV team, Shout out to the.
24:14
Speaker 4: They were incredible, even him AV team gracious, like These
24:21
Speaker 4: are some small lessons. The more money you make, the
24:23
Speaker 4: kinder you have to be like, he didn't have to
24:26
Speaker 4: talk to me for the thirty minutes, And how the
24:28
Speaker 4: planet that y'all you guys went in all the meetings
24:30
Speaker 4: that you had to make sure the sound sound, impeccable
24:32
Speaker 4: visuals and.
24:34
Speaker 6: Also hold let me just let me just shout out
24:37
Speaker 6: to the social media team as well, because those visuals,
24:41
Speaker 6: the way they're being captured, it feels like it's a documentary.
24:45
Speaker 6: It feels like a time piece. It feels like it's
24:47
Speaker 6: a capsule of history, and people are in those videos,
24:50
Speaker 6: and so we want to like when we go down
24:53
Speaker 6: the road five, ten, twenty years, they're gonna look back
24:55
Speaker 6: at twenty twenty four, what happened in who was the HEADLINEA?
24:58
Speaker 2: What was it like?
24:59
Speaker 6: These who came from that right that that sparked the
25:02
Speaker 6: person that created the next innovation in some form of technology,
25:06
Speaker 6: some form of healthcare.
25:07
Speaker 2: Like it's historical, so we should treat it like.
25:09
Speaker 3: That, Yeah, for sure, But also everybody that went now,
25:14
Speaker 3: you guys have to be defenders of investments because you
25:19
Speaker 3: see anytime you know, it's so like it's a good
25:22
Speaker 3: point true even what we call it, said Mike Rubin
25:25
Speaker 3: right when he was like, black people love to tell
25:26
Speaker 3: black people down. And he got a lot of pushback
25:28
Speaker 3: for that because he's a white person saying that, but
25:30
Speaker 3: it's true. So it's like, now you can't if there's
25:34
Speaker 3: any a narrative of like yo, there's just gonna be
25:36
Speaker 3: celebrities there. They're gonna tell you believe in yourself.
25:38
Speaker 5: You got to be like yo. This is the furthest
25:40
Speaker 5: thing from the truth.
25:40
Speaker 2: Right.
25:40
Speaker 3: It's over one hundred panels talking about artificial intelligence, talking
25:43
Speaker 3: about crypto, talking about stocks, talking about how to buyo home,
25:46
Speaker 3: talking about real estate, talking about marketing, and we went
25:49
Speaker 3: and we set in and there with each other information
25:51
Speaker 3: and they actually provided a blueprint and Ian spoke for
25:54
Speaker 3: forty minutes and went straight to information. So you can't
25:59
Speaker 3: just let somebody like Vlad or anybody who's trolling be
26:04
Speaker 3: like yo. They just gonna tell you believing yourself that
26:08
Speaker 3: you saw it firsthand. And we put out clips so
26:10
Speaker 3: people can Even the celebrities like Damon John provided information.
26:14
Speaker 3: Somebody had to save money on taxes. He was talking
26:17
Speaker 3: about his stock picks. He was talking about like they
26:20
Speaker 3: went straight for information So now it's up to y'all
26:23
Speaker 3: guys too, because like I said, you know, it's it's
26:26
Speaker 3: anybody could just say anything, right, but you know, the
26:29
Speaker 3: truth has to be uphold by the people that actually
26:31
Speaker 3: know it. So if you know, you know the truth.
26:33
Speaker 3: If you was at investments, you know the truth. So
26:35
Speaker 3: if you see any level of negativity or any level
26:39
Speaker 3: of misinformation, please please be a be a public defender,
26:43
Speaker 3: because what happens is that on social media, the regular
26:48
Speaker 3: people are quiet and the haters allowed. So it'd be
26:51
Speaker 3: like one percent in the population, but they look like
26:54
Speaker 3: they're there more the majority. But that's not Nobody can
26:58
Speaker 3: say that they didn't get fair. If you didn't get
26:59
Speaker 3: value you outed this weekend, you made a conscious decision
27:02
Speaker 3: not to unite.
27:03
Speaker 5: You didn't go.
27:04
Speaker 3: You just went to the parties. You didn't go to
27:06
Speaker 3: the workshops, you didn't go to the panels. You made
27:09
Speaker 3: a conscious decision, and that's okay, But that's your decision
27:13
Speaker 3: that you made. It wasn't like you, it wasn't available
27:16
Speaker 3: to you. You just made a conscious decision to not
27:19
Speaker 3: take value in a situation.
27:21
Speaker 8: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
27:24
Speaker 8: in Massachusetts an MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
27:28
Speaker 8: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
27:32
Speaker 8: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
27:36
Speaker 8: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
27:40
Speaker 8: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States
27:44
Speaker 8: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

Speaker 8: were here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly
28:00
Speaker 8: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported. You will

Speaker 8: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
28:11
Speaker 8: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
