Can money truly buy happiness, or is there a deeper connection waiting to be uncovered? Join us as we, Anton Lefwich and Michel DuPoux your Neighborhood Finance BRO's, explore the intersection of money and happiness, especially during the holiday season when introspection is at its peak. We share personal insights on how moments of gratitude—like simply appreciating the air we breathe—can shift our entire perspective, and why nurturing positive mental and spiritual habits is crucial for achieving a harmonious life. Discover how these internal practices can lead to external success, enabling us to handle adversities with grace and resilience.
Our candid conversation explores the often misunderstood relationship between financial wealth and genuine contentment. We discuss the emotional roller-coasters that can disrupt workplace productivity and highlight the transformative power of investing in memorable experiences rather than mere objects. Challenging the notion that money alone brings joy, we advocate for discovering and sharing your unique gifts with the world, which naturally brings financial rewards without letting your bank balance define who you are. Money should amplify your inherent qualities, not alter your identity.
In a heartfelt exchange, we underscore the importance of maintaining happiness and perspective, drawing wisdom from mentors and personal stories. From paying tribute to a father who prioritized happiness over material burdens to exploring how acts of gratitude and giving back enrich our lives, we delve into the spiritual aspects of fulfillment. We discuss how understanding the "Five Love Languages" and viewing money as a tool can strengthen relationships and personal growth. Join us as we explore how financial resources can facilitate meaningful interactions and align with our deeper spiritual purposes, ultimately leading to a life of true prosperity.

But this is definitelydefinitely an episode that will
really really hit me hard.
Specifically and I actually hitme so hard I'm calling Mike in
the middle of my work week.
Like Mike man we got to do this.
I feel like.
I feel like I wonder how youdrive to the house like right in
, so we can record it rightthere on the spot.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
You know, that's why.
That's why the title is money,the key to your happiness?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, is money the key to your happiness?
We're asking the question,ladies and gentlemen, and Mike,
you know why.
You know why this is so.
This really hits me hard righthere.
Because you know we're allevery day, we wake up, go to
work or go work our business orrun our businesses.
You know we come home, takecare of our family, maybe spend
(02:33):
a little me time, hopefully, andthen go to bed, wake up, go and
take the time to either, youknow, think about what it is we
want to do or be grateful forwhat's going on, like we're
(03:02):
going to talk about here in alittle bit, to the extent that
we can just take a minute, 30seconds, sometimes 15 seconds.
The other day I was in the frontroom, I was doing my little
morning routine, I was doing mypushups and I sat down.
I sat down on my butt on thefloor and I just closed my eyes
and I was taking deep breathslike that and I was just like
(03:23):
man, just thank you, thank you,god, for letting me breathe,
just for having the ability tobreathe.
And it was just a few seconds,it was less, it was, it was well
, it may be.
It ended up being like two,three minutes, man.
Do you know how much better myday was that day?
There you go, bro, stopping andpausing for a second to just be
(03:48):
in the moment, right, right.
And you know, I've, I've had,I've had the conversations with
people in the past when you know, and they've given me this
advice.
I've actually received thatadvice many times throughout my
life, but in the, in the time,in the, in the season that I'm
in in my life personally, rightnow, I do feel genuinely like I
have this sense of calm, like,of course, there's adversity all
day.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
There's always things going on.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Always things coming at us and everything that we do,
but for some reason I'm able tojust take a minute take a
second and you know it's funnythat you're saying that, anton,
because for our wealthians outthere, and you know we're trying
to find money, money.
This is the whole point of thispodcast and for season three,
(04:30):
we we said we're going to focuson on more the uh, the, the
mental and the spiritual part ofthings, just the things you
just spoke about.
Just just taking that time out,yeah, man, to to breathe, to
reflect, you know that's that'spart of that wealthiness, that's
that's.
That's that time out.
Yeah, man To breathe, yeah Toreflect.
You know that's part of thatWealthy.
It is that's part of that, youthinking it's not go, go, go.
(04:51):
Let me see how I could try tomake this money here to be happy
.
That's not how it works.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Telling you, bro, that's what's going to bring it
to you man.
This is the mental and thespiritual behind the act of the
literal of going out and doingit Right Setting, creating a
space for ourselves so that whenwe finally do go out and we are
putting our hands on something,the little intricate things
that try to come at usthroughout the day just roll off
(05:19):
of our shoulder.
You know what I'm saying?
It's a, it's a muscle that webuild, and a man is so
subconscious.
We really hope y'all aregrabbing this, wealthians,
because this is really deepstuff.
And when we ask the question ismoney the key to your happiness
or to our happiness?
(05:39):
Exercised constantly, daily andbecoming habitual, positive
habits that we're actuallybuilding?
And now we're doing it second,just, it's, it's secondhand
nature and we're doing withoutthinking about it, right, man?
But man, if the money don'tjust start coming, let me tell
you, and you just sit back, youwonder like man, man, all of a
(06:01):
sudden, it's just, things areclicking, things are happening.
It like man, man, all of asudden, it's just, things are
clicking, things are happening,it's just, it's just like
effortless.
But it's these things that werebuilt up underneath the covers,
under the water, in the, in thetimes that no one is watching
us, that we get to harness theseskills and then watch it unfold
in the world when we're about,when we're able to give our gift
(06:21):
at its highest capacity.
Right man told you I was goingto go off on this bro man.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Seriously, man, I feel this man Seriously.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
And I want to say this because I looked up the.
You know we got to look up, wegot to go to Webster, yep.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Real quick Went to.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Webster, google it, right, google it.
And I went to the definitiondefinition.
I said definition of happy,just real, basic, right, right.
And it said feeling of showingpleasure or contentment.
That's simple.
I said, well, that's simple,but I don't know what
contentment means.
Let me go look that up, okayright you know, because I want,
I want to be.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You know, we want to mic the poet man.
Break it down to the simpleright.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
So so I definition of contentment a state of
happiness and satisfaction.
So it kind of threw you rightback, right, right.
But but that satisfaction part,all right.
Made some promises to myselfthat I talked to you about in
private.
Talked to the people closest tome about Right To lately made a
couple of promises to myself.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And here it is, some days later and we were out and
about just now and you have fullsupport of me.
We were sitting there orderingsome food.
It was real real simple yeah,right, and I, just, I, just I
felt satisfaction.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Because the promises that I had made to myself were
being kept.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
That's the point.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That is the highest form.
I believe my and I've even readthis, and Tony Robbins did this
, this, he did this.
I just thought that wasn't asurvey.
He did this, this, thisAssessment, I guess, on the six
human needs and he came up witha couple categories that we'll
bring up here in a second.
But anyways, at the highestform of self for me that I
(07:59):
believe for that is working inmy life right now Is the fact
that you know, if you want tobuild self-confidence, keep the
promises you make to yourself.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And also the quickest way to destroy our own
confidence is break the promisesthat we make to ourselves.
There you go.
You know you said you was goingto go work out tomorrow and
gave up.
Went to work and didn't do it,went to bed, felt bad about it,
got up the next day.
You know you ain't got to tellnobody, but you know, that's it.
You know what I'm saying.
So I had to look that up andwhat we got down here is
(08:34):
actually really key too.
You know money, basic needsfirst right.
Money can bring happiness whenit's used to meet your basic
needs Food, shelter, healthcare,all right.
Without those, happinessbecomes hard to achieve because,
let's, let's be honest, I mean,if you can't eat right, stress
comes.
If the family can't eat, stresscomes especially.
(08:55):
You know the weight that uh,that, uh, that uh, those men out
here care you know, holdingdown the family, Right, right,
right, right.
So, um, and I, I want to breakthis up a little bit, mike,
right, you know I I don't wantto, I don't want to go too too
in, too deep on it, uh, early.
But you know, I wanted to kindof bring up that fact and
mention that.
(09:15):
That tony robbins assessment.
If you guys want to go outthere and look it up, do some
googling.
Like I said, we're not going todig deep into you guys go.
We want to give youfundamentals, you know,
encourage you to go out and doyour homework.
So the six basic human needswas certainty, or IE, security,
right.
Variety, the need for things tochange and have new things from
time to time.
(09:35):
All right.
Significance or recognitionwant to be seen right, we all
want to be recognized in someway.
Right, love and connection Allright.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Of course some way right.
Love and connection, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
of course right, self-expanded of course that's
you ain't gotta, you ain't gotta, you ain't gotta emphasize on
that.
You're right and in growthright whether that's personal or
professional, and thencontribution right right getting
outside of ourselves to go outthere and and meet the world.
Right, all right.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
So yeah, so, so, and you know, you, you think about
all these things is and, andyou're like well, how is that
related to money?
It's related to money in thesense that, in order for you to,
to, to do or to make whatyou're looking to make, because,
think about it, if you're upsetabout something and you're
(10:18):
doing a job, does the job comeout.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Well, that's true, no , no no, not as probably not as
well as it could Right.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
If you're mad, sometime you're making,
especially if you work in anoffice, if you're stressed out
it.
Let's take one of these if youdon't have love and connection
let's say you're having aproblem with your spouse or with
your significant other are youable to concentrate and make
something happen, man?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
you understand, so think about that.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
So you know, and that's the whole point of of
this conversation, yeah, forsure you know, you know you even
have it, you know you even tryto experience things.
Like if you're, if you go dosome research and you, you know
you spend some money on on spendsome money on experiences.
Let's say you take a trip oryou go have fun doing outgoing
(11:13):
things, those things will lastlonger when you spend money
doing those type of things, asopposed to being stressed about
doing other things.
That's that's not gonna giveyou that benefit back because
you spent the money on somethingthat's gonna, you know, last
(11:33):
longer, or or it's gonna giveyou those those warm and fuzzy,
the things that you lovememories, yeah, things that you
connect with.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yeah, you know things that that makes that satisfy
you.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yeah, those things you just with, yeah, you know,
things that that makes thatsatisfy you, those things you
just mentioned, yeah, youunderstand.
So that's what we're talkingabout, that connection with
money and your feelings, andthat's what we mean about the
happiness, and it's kind of hardto connect it but or hard to
explain it, but that's where itcomes from and that's why we
(12:03):
were trying to do this podcastto show, uh, or this particular
subject, to show how happinessand money connects.
Yeah as opposed to what you orwhat people have a perception of
money and how to use money orhow to get money, and it may not
be bringing you the joy thatit's supposed to bring you in
(12:25):
your life.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well, yeah, because maybe the the going after it was
with the wrong energy or withthe wrong intent.
You know, we say connectingmoney and happiness, the pursuit
of just giving your gift at itshighest form to the world, it
will bring money mark our wordsright, hey right giving your
gift at its highest form andbeing free, with it all right
(12:48):
and being able to not to, to beable to put out, drown out
distractions, the world getsreal loud.
But if you're just deep in yourgift and you are focused on
giving that to your best ability, the money, everything, and
guess what, when it comes it, itwon't define you right.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
The money will never be a part of that right.
You know, that reminds me ofsomething somebody said to me
you know who you are.
You'll always be that person,whether you have money or you
don't have money bro say thatagain, man, who you are, you'll
be that person, whether you havemoney or you don't have money.
(13:27):
So if you're a kind person,you'll be a kind of person with
more money.
Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But if you're an a-hole, you'll be a bigger
a-hole with money.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
It heightens, it multiplies what's inside of us
outside and it brings it outRight, those things that are
going on inside.
With a lot of money it'll,it'll bring those things out at
a at a very heightened factor.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
And you know, man, I want to, I want to say this to
you.
I want to, I want to ask youthis, bro, because you know you,
you are one of my not only oneof my best friends.
You know, I have a.
Really, we keep a small circle.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, yeah but.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I mean, you are also one of the most direct and very
focused people that I know in mylife and you do not let things
that are outside of you get inside of you where it starts,
(14:27):
yeah, where it starts to controlyou, and I talking about?
I'm talking about people, placesand things.
Okay, doesn't matter what it is, whether it's drinking a beer
or whatever you have one whenyou want to have one.
It might be six months latermaybe you have another, but it
doesn't control you, right?
You know what I'm saying andyou know this real quick man I
gotta I gotta throw this in,because we did this on our TV
show and you know I just had tobring it back.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I feel like we couldn't do the episode without
it.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
All right, so you remember this, because I'm happy
all alone, if you feel likeyou're moving.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
I'll be moving Because I'm happy all alone.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Oh, yeah, I feel like I'm happy.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
yeah, yeah, all right really we can't do the show
without bringing in the for realman you know,
Speaker 4 (15:14):
it's just how we talk about yeah, we're talking about
happiness.
Definitely, we gotta play thesong, bro.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It's a feel-good song and you just gotta put it out
there.
But I want to ask you this,mike, I mean seriously, man,
just I want to just share withour people, man, share with our
wealthyness, the world, man.
How do you maintain that senseof calm, no matter how?
I mean, yeah, things are,things are good, things bad,
whatever.
It's just not too high, not toolow, mike's, just right here,
(15:40):
right in the middle.
You know, and I, a mentor, oncetold me, you know, don't get
too high on the highs, don't gettoo low on the lows, because
reality is somewhere in themiddle.
To me, you are the definitionof that, bro.
You know what?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I mean, well, I have to tell you I had a great
teacher.
That's what's up.
And God rest his soul my dadwho just passed away.
Man bro, my dad was the epitomeof stressless.
(16:21):
Nothing stressed this man andwhat I learned from him is what
makes against it.
He's like, okay, my dad was thetype of person.
He came from another country.
He came into this country.
He said one of the reasons whyin a, you know, maybe this was,
uh, god's way of helping him henever bought a house.
(16:44):
And he said the reason why Inever bought a house because I
knew all the stuff that involvedin maintaining a house in this
country was going to not make mylife happy.
So I didn't buy a house.
So I was okay renting where,having the landlord take care of
all the problems.
(17:04):
So he never bought a house.
And you think about that.
You're like, okay, that's kindof weird because we're Americans
and that's the American dreamWe've been setting.
Buy a house, right Buy a house,yeah, but not my dad.
My dad kept it simple and Ilook at that.
(17:27):
I mean I have a betterunderstanding of buying a house,
so it wasn't that much of a bigdeal for me, but for him it was
.
This is not going to make mehappy, so whatever did not make
my dad happy.
He did not allow into his auraand I saw that he lived to be
(17:52):
100 years old because of thatTriple digits.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
man, that's a blessing bro.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
So I've adapted that in my life.
Yeah, I am not going to allowthings to come into my life, and
that's including, you know, ifI have money to allow the money
to dictate my happiness.
(18:18):
Preach brother, say that I'drather give it away, because if
it's not, if it's going to makeme unhappy, I'd rather not have
it.
Man and you know something.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I'd rather not have it, man.
And you know something.
I see the love and the deposits, deposits.
You know we talk about depositsand withdrawal.
I see the deposits you makeinto your twin girls and you
know, whenever I hear you talkabout your father bro, I see I
can relate that directly to theway I see you with them.
Yeah, you know what I'm sayingand the things that you give
(18:53):
them, and I mean it could, itcould be a, it could be a
straight storm, blizzard of lifegoing on, man.
But you, you know, if it's gotsomething to do with them, it's
just hey, this is Cause.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
That's what makes me happy.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see that.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
That's what makes me happy.
I see that, bro, whatever theyneed, whatever's necessary for
them, and real talk right now.
An ex-girlfriend told me thathe's like the three most
important thing in your life isyour three kids, and she sure is
right.
My son he's 27, and my uh, twingirls, 10 years old yeah most
(19:36):
important things in my life.
That's what I do, whatever I'mdoing.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Making enough money, getting more money to make sure
they're okay man, brother, youknow, I know that they're gonna
grow up to be very proudextensions of you.
Man, I want to say that that's,that's, that's real man.
You know, I give you, I giveyou so much credit and respect
(20:02):
for that, bro.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
And it's not easy to do, and I'll give one more
advice about the happiness thingand this is maybe a little bit
off on the money thing, but hey,this is all to appreciate.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, we gotta do it.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, we gotta talk about it and everybody who's in
in the who's hearing this.
The other thing you gotta do islook at yourself in the mirror.
You gotta make yourself happy.
Yeah, make yourself happy first, because guess what if you're
not making yourself happy?
Whatever you like, if I makeany amount of money and we said
this in another podcast I paymyself first 10%.
(20:40):
If I make $100, I'm payingmyself 10 bucks.
I got to do something with it.
How could I work so hard tomake $100 and not give myself
anything?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
That's ludicrous that's man and the way you put
that.
You know, it seemed like itshould be simple, right so,
wealthians, you're out there,take care of you.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
First, make you make yourself happy.
First, you're number one.
Make you happy and then letthat energy spill out to
everyone else, especially to theones you love.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
There you go man In the form of your gift, because
everybody got a gift to give.
So that's my advice hey, andlook we completely off.
We're not on script, right?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
now we are off script , bro, we get back on script.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
No, get back on.
No, no, no, no.
I love this, though, man.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I love this I I, this is real, this is from the heart
, I really, I always know whenI'm listening to somebody, when
they're just straight comingfrom the soul, man, right and I,
nothing makes me listen and payattention more than when I feel
that, right, you know, I mean,people ain't gotta see us, they
ain't gotta be looking you inthe eye to feel you, bro, and to
feel your spirit.
Man, I'm glad you brought thatup, by the way, because I want
(21:58):
to mention this about avoidingcomparison traps.
Right, all right, all right,constantly comparing your
financial situation, all yourmarriage, or just children, for
that matter, to others, others,which can drain your happiness?
Right, focus on your ownjourney and progress.
Right, because we're all on our, yeah, we're, we may be, you
(22:18):
know, in life, we, we connect topeople and we may choose people
that we're going to.
You know what it was going tobusiness with, like you know, me
and mike and I, you know, wenaturally, genuinely found
ourselves in a businessrelationship and we're, we're,
thriving in it.
You know what I mean.
It was not forced, it was notforced.
It just literally happened onits own.
All right, it was organic.
(22:39):
Right, he's like man we go justsit here talking about this you
know, every day we might aswell start writing some stuff
down, right?
You know, one thing led toanother and you know genuinely,
here we are, but you know youare on.
We are all on our path in lifeand we are going through seasons
right and we are not to comparechapter 2 to chapter 25, right
(23:07):
in someone else's life.
So and that, and that's likemike, you always talk about
gratitude man right and that'sbeing grateful in that moment.
Take a minute, take a second, begrateful for how far we've come
and the journey that is ahead.
Right, you know, because we'reliving, we are living this life.
You know, I'm saying, if you,if you going through, some
(23:30):
congratulations, because, guesswhat, you going through, you not
stuck in, right, right, so you,just, you just said, you just
spoke the words of victory,right there.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
man, I'm going through some congratulations.
You just spoke victory, right?
You didn't just say what'sgoing on, man, oh, I'm stuck in
something, right?
I'm saying because that couldhave been your mindset.
Most times we say we're goingthrough something, but in our
head we're stuck in it, right?
So let's believe the words thatwe're saying when we say
something is negative, is I'mgoing through something and
believe that that's a positive.
(24:00):
I'm going through, I'm notgoing to be here forever and
there's going to be a way.
There's going to be a solutionwill present itself if I just
stay positive and believe Rightpositive and believe Right.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
And mentally, you have to adapt a growth mindset.
Instead of stressing over whatyou don't have, think about what
you can achieve.
Yes, you know, build financialgoals, give you, give, you know,
give yourself a sense ofpurpose and control, because,
(24:29):
because, like you were saying,you know, just, you don't want

Helping someone in need, whether through donations,
gifts or or your time, yes,creates a deep sense of
fulfillment yes, all right andthat's a spiritual, that's, oh,
that's definitely the spiritualright.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
That's a spiritual content.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Right here we hitting the spiritual when it comes to
money right now I'm telling you,bro, and look man, I, I see it
in my mom's eyes every time II'm I am moving a lot and I do
work a lot.
I know I put a lot into mycraft and things I'm doing day
to day, but you know it does hitme at night.
Gotta winch, gotta go check onmoms, and if I sit down there
(25:31):
for a few minutes I she valuesthat time so much, whether it's
five minutes, ten minutes,whatever, man, you know, I'm
reminding myself right now tomake sure I'm intentional about
that?
right you know, I'm saying thankyou, god for reminding me that,
because, just saying it rightnow, I feel it, bro, right just
sitting there, it don't matterif you're not saying a word and
you're just listening to hertalk.
(25:52):
Bro, you just went and visitedyour mom yeah, I just did bro,
man, just real quick, I I heyhey, man, if we go, we go okay
because, we're giving it.
We're giving it to him thisholiday season.
Right, there you go, we'respreading cheer the fbn way,
yeah, and it's, and it's real.
So when you walked in the doorwhen your mom's bro, you didn't
tell nobody was coming.
You didn't tell nobody he wascoming.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I didn't tell anybody I was coming, okay, and nobody
was coming.
My mom has a dementia.
She's pretty much not mobilized, but she's been getting better.
I heard she's been gettingbetter and then I went to see
her a couple of days ago andthen I walked through the door
and everybody's looking at melike what, like they saw a ghost
(26:36):
.
I'm like, okay, it's only.
I know I didn't tell you guys,I was coming.
But come on, now it's I.
This is me, mike and then no,they said no.
No, it's not that.
Mom was just saying where'smike?
Where's mike?
I want to talk to mike.
Wow bro, she sensed that I wascoming.
That made me happy.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I bet he did.
I believe it ain't nothing likea mother's love for her son bro
.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
It's nothing, and you know that that goes back to
what you were saying giving back.
You know that.
You know just being able to go.
What you gave to her in thatmoment, bro, that was a gift,
you know.
And then we, she, yeah, andthen we, she, yeah.
She didn't say much, but I satthere with her for an hour, just
(27:27):
just my present.
Yeah, she spoke about somethings.
I had no no idea what she wastalking about don't matter,
don't matter but my presence.
That was there, yeah, yeah, shewanted to speak to me and I flew
from california, new york, 3000 miles.
You can't go no further withoutjumping in the water, and she's
and then she just sensed that Iwas coming.
Man, that's deep and and it wascrazy, but you know it's.
(27:50):
You know giving back thatthat's where your happiness is
going to come from and beingafford to be able, using money
to do that.
You know, yeah, it took moneyfor me to fly to get there and I
had to save that money to flyto get there to do that.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
You know that's that contribution piece too from the
from the tony robbins study.
I don't know if he, we don'tknow if he did it first or right
first or whatever, but it was astudy that was done and you
know we happen to come across it, but that's definitely that
contribution piece right right,right, so they did for you.
I'm sure it was even exactly so.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
You know, wealthians out there try not to be too
materialistic, you know, try tofind these different things
that's gonna make you happy.
Don't go out and buy gadgetsand stuff like that that you
think it's gonna make you happybecause you're gonna buy.
Just like kids, they ask fortoys, you, you go out, they cry
for it, you buy for them.
(28:42):
Guess what?
Five minutes later, where'sthat toy right in that corner.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Think about that they playing with the box right,
they play with the box.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
That's the same believe it or not, that's the
same thing with us you want thatpurse or you want that jacket
or you want that stuff, that'snot gonna give you happiness.
That's not gonna give youhappiness.
You know.
Give back to your family, giveback to you, to you, your
religion, if that's what youknow, those things can pay back
(29:12):
ten times full.
That's what's up to the peopleyou love.
Those are gonna pay you backten times full.
Yeah, yeah, that that goes.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
What you're saying with the, you know detaching
from materialism too, bro, yes,you know that's deep man.
So, saying with the, you knowdetaching from materialism too,
bro, yes, you know that's deepman, so I love that, you know.
True, well, comes fromrelationships, community purpose
, all right.
So man are we go.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
We got to get into the breakdown why because I know
we're gonna keep me here allnight.
Hey look real quick.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Before y'all, before we get into this breakdown,
y'all go research something elsecalled the five love languages.
Yes, I'm getting cheesy.
It's who I?
am, I'm, you know I'm made oflove, so hey, there it is for
y'all.
So you know just something.
It's actually a book the fivelove languages like too.
So there's there's receivinggifts or gift giving.
That's one of the love language.
Another one is quality time.
Obviously we talked about thatuh, words of affirmation.
(29:58):
This is, this is, yeah,definitely, I, I know, I'm
definitely uh, words ofaffirmation.
And the next one here acts ofservice you know, doing things
through showing love, throughdoing things.
It could be.
This could be a laundry, thiscould be doing a dishes,
cleaning the house for your, foryour significant other or
whatever.
Right, right.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Um words of affirmation is obviously you
know, uh, I value you, I respectyou.
Thank you for you know whatyou've, what you've, what you've
done for me in my life, Thingslike that Saying build we're
using words to build people upRight and then, of course,
physical touch you know somepeople from a hug, or, or, or,
or just holding a holding handsor something like that.
These are ways that, um, youknow, these are different love
(30:37):
languages that we all interactand use from time to time to
communicate our affection topeople, our feelings to people.
So, you know, this is somethingthat we thought, or I mean, it
just really hit my heart, Mike,that we should put that out
there to give to our wealthians,Because, again, bringing back
full circle these things that goon inside will eventually allow
(30:59):
us to give our gift at itshighest level, will eventually
allow us to give our gift at itshighest level, and that will
translate into all of the meansthat you will ever want to
obtain in this world as awealthy.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
And guess what?
Most of these things are free.
You didn't need money for that.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Those- you ain't got to get no prescription you ain't
got to buy the book.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Are you saying those things are?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
free all free bro how about that, man?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
how about that?
Oh man, I love it.
Man, let's get into thebreakdown.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Let's get into the breakdown okay the literal the
literal is emulating financialstress eliminating oh sorry,
sorry, my bad sorry.
Sorry.
Eliminating financial stress,being debt-free or having
emergency fund can bring peaceof mind which directly impacts
(31:52):
your happiness.
That's real.
So that's the literal.
You know, when we do thebreakdown, we always tell you
what's the literal, mental andspiritual.
So, in this episode, debt free.
So and and debt free is in inour society, you know, it's I, I
.
I don't want to say it's ahundred percent, because you can
(32:14):
still have a mortgage, you canstill have car payments.
I would say debt free in thissense of the word is having
enough savings.
God forbid something happens.
You know you have at leastthree months they say three to
six months of savings for yourregular bills and then after
that you're not.
(32:35):
You're not having big creditcard bills and all those other
things to put you in a situationwhere you're more happy when
you don't have all these crazybills.
You have savings enough andthat's the literal sense of the
money making you happy.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah, that's that security factor, I believe, bro,
and I would even argue thatthat equates to giving more to
something than you take from it,right, whether that's a
relationship, a job that maybecan go a little, that can border
on spiritual, but stillliterally giving more to
something than you take fromthat, right, right, and guess
what?
(33:14):
It works best if everybody doesit there.
You go.
All right, let's hit him withthe mental Yep.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Practice financial gratitude or appreciation.
I appreciate you, gratitudeisn't just for the big things.
Be thankful for the smallfinancial wins, like savings I
just said that On groceries, orhitting a budget goal.
(33:43):
See, that goes hand in handwith the literal.
That's for real.
I like savings, just savings oneverything, or having a budget
will give you that moneyhappiness.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Bro, I love that.
Hey look man, the Chiefs wasplaying the game the other day
and they barely won by a couplepoints.
You know what Patrick Mahomessaid after the game.
What did he say?
Porter's like how you feelabout just barely something.
Like something today said abouthow you feel about just barely
winning.
A win is a win Pretty much.
He said a win.
He said what's the score?
(34:17):
Say.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Hey, that W it doesn't say 12 wins kinda, it
says 12 wins.
The Chief had 10 wins this yearand they had four, kinda wins.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
No, it's 14 wins there you go.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
A win is a win, bro, that's it All right.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
So loving that and, of course, the spiritual man.
You already know we got to doit.
So use money as a tool, not agoal.
So use money as a tool, not agoal.
Money is a means to an end, notthe end itself.
All right, when you use it tosupport your passions and enrich
your life, it aligns with yourdeeper spiritual purpose.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Wow, that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, man, that's deep brother.
They might have to rewind thata couple of times brother, I'm
not going to say it again.
They can rewind it a couple oftimes, but love, love, love that
, Because money is a toolbrother.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
You know what I mean.
That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
And, like we said earlier, it's going to emphasize
what's going on inside of us.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, who you are.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
And magnify who we are on the outside.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
All right.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
We just have more of it to work with, because now
this, this money, this thing,this tool is now giving us
access.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
All right.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
So we support our passions and literally again I'm
going to say it again and Isaid it 15 times around this
episode brother, allow us tooperate in a way that allows us
to give our gift at its highest,at its highest form, to the
world and bring back more andmore and more abundance that we
can then circulate back into theworld.
(35:50):
And now there's this, there'sthis meaningful cycle that's
going on and it's endless.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
It's infinite, forever.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
And the t-shirt is.
I love this t-shirt.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Here we go, I'll give him the t-shirt True.
Love this t-shirt, bro.

not even getting a card, brother, we know that's right.
So make sure whatever you getfor Christmas yes, we know it's
a societal thing, but if it's areligious, you focus on the
religious.

the way you celebrate it Then goahead and do that.

things that we bring from ourdeep down our soul, giving you
guys something that's reallyspecial to us and hoping you'll
resonate with these things thatwe bring from our hearts.
(01:48):
But this is definitelydefinitely an episode that will
really really hit me hard.
Specifically and I actually hitme so hard I'm calling Mike in
the middle of my work week.
Like Mike man we got to do this.
I feel like.
I feel like I wonder how youdrive to the house like right in
, so we can record it rightthere on the spot.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
You know, that's why.
That's why the title is money,the key to your happiness?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, is money the key to your happiness?
We're asking the question,ladies and gentlemen, and Mike,
you know why.
You know why this is so.
This really hits me hard righthere.
Because you know we're allevery day, we wake up, go to
work or go work our business orrun our businesses.
You know we come home, takecare of our family, maybe spend
(02:33):
a little me time, hopefully, andthen go to bed, wake up, go and
take the time to either, youknow, think about what it is we
want to do or be grateful forwhat's going on, like we're
(03:02):
going to talk about here in alittle bit, to the extent that
we can just take a minute, 30seconds, sometimes 15 seconds.
The other day I was in the frontroom, I was doing my little
morning routine, I was doing mypushups and I sat down.
I sat down on my butt on thefloor and I just closed my eyes
and I was taking deep breathslike that and I was just like
(03:23):
man, just thank you, thank you,god, for letting me breathe,
just for having the ability tobreathe.
And it was just a few seconds,it was less, it was, it was well
, it may be.
It ended up being like two,three minutes, man.
Do you know how much better myday was that day?
There you go, bro, stopping andpausing for a second to just be
(03:48):
in the moment, right, right.
And you know, I've, I've had,I've had the conversations with
people in the past when you know, and they've given me this
advice.
I've actually received thatadvice many times throughout my
life, but in the, in the time,in the, in the season that I'm
in in my life personally, rightnow, I do feel genuinely like I
have this sense of calm, like,of course, there's adversity all
day.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
There's always things going on.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Always things coming at us and everything that we do,
but for some reason I'm able tojust take a minute take a
second and you know it's funnythat you're saying that, anton,
because for our wealthians outthere, and you know we're trying
to find money, money.
This is the whole point of thispodcast and for season three,
(04:30):
we we said we're going to focuson on more the uh, the, the
mental and the spiritual part ofthings, just the things you
just spoke about.
Just just taking that time out,yeah, man, to to breathe, to
reflect, you know that's that'spart of that wealthiness, that's
that's.
That's that time out.
Yeah, man To breathe, yeah Toreflect.
You know that's part of thatWealthy.
It is that's part of that, youthinking it's not go, go, go.
(04:51):
Let me see how I could try tomake this money here to be happy
.
That's not how it works.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Telling you, bro, that's what's going to bring it
to you man.
This is the mental and thespiritual behind the act of the
literal of going out and doingit Right Setting, creating a
space for ourselves so that whenwe finally do go out and we are
putting our hands on something,the little intricate things
that try to come at usthroughout the day just roll off
(05:19):
of our shoulder.
You know what I'm saying?
It's a, it's a muscle that webuild, and a man is so
subconscious.
We really hope y'all aregrabbing this, wealthians,
because this is really deepstuff.
And when we ask the question ismoney the key to your happiness
or to our happiness?
(05:39):
Exercised constantly, daily andbecoming habitual, positive
habits that we're actuallybuilding?
And now we're doing it second,just, it's, it's secondhand
nature and we're doing withoutthinking about it, right, man?
But man, if the money don'tjust start coming, let me tell
you, and you just sit back, youwonder like man, man, all of a
(06:01):
sudden, it's just, things areclicking, things are happening.
It like man, man, all of asudden, it's just, things are
clicking, things are happening,it's just, it's just like
effortless.
But it's these things that werebuilt up underneath the covers,
under the water, in the, in thetimes that no one is watching
us, that we get to harness theseskills and then watch it unfold
in the world when we're about,when we're able to give our gift
(06:21):
at its highest capacity.
Right man told you I was goingto go off on this bro man.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Seriously, man, I feel this man Seriously.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
And I want to say this because I looked up the.
You know we got to look up, wegot to go to Webster, yep.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Real quick Went to.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Webster, google it, right, google it.
And I went to the definitiondefinition.
I said definition of happy,just real, basic, right, right.
And it said feeling of showingpleasure or contentment.
That's simple.
I said, well, that's simple,but I don't know what
contentment means.
Let me go look that up, okayright you know, because I want,
I want to be.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You know, we want to mic the poet man.
Break it down to the simpleright.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
So so I definition of contentment a state of
happiness and satisfaction.
So it kind of threw you rightback, right, right.
But but that satisfaction part,all right.
Made some promises to myselfthat I talked to you about in
private.
Talked to the people closest tome about Right To lately made a
couple of promises to myself.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And here it is, some days later and we were out and
about just now and you have fullsupport of me.
We were sitting there orderingsome food.
It was real real simple yeah,right, and I, just, I, just I
felt satisfaction.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Because the promises that I had made to myself were
being kept.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
That's the point.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That is the highest form.
I believe my and I've even readthis, and Tony Robbins did this
, this, he did this.
I just thought that wasn't asurvey.
He did this, this, thisAssessment, I guess, on the six
human needs and he came up witha couple categories that we'll
bring up here in a second.
But anyways, at the highestform of self for me that I
(07:59):
believe for that is working inmy life right now Is the fact
that you know, if you want tobuild self-confidence, keep the
promises you make to yourself.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And also the quickest way to destroy our own
confidence is break the promisesthat we make to ourselves.
There you go.
You know you said you was goingto go work out tomorrow and
gave up.
Went to work and didn't do it,went to bed, felt bad about it,
got up the next day.
You know you ain't got to tellnobody, but you know, that's it.
You know what I'm saying.
So I had to look that up andwhat we got down here is
(08:34):
actually really key too.
You know money, basic needsfirst right.
Money can bring happiness whenit's used to meet your basic
needs Food, shelter, healthcare,all right.
Without those, happinessbecomes hard to achieve because,
let's, let's be honest, I mean,if you can't eat right, stress
comes.
If the family can't eat, stresscomes especially.
(08:55):
You know the weight that uh,that, uh, that uh, those men out
here care you know, holdingdown the family, Right, right,
right, right.
So, um, and I, I want to breakthis up a little bit, mike,
right, you know I I don't wantto, I don't want to go too too
in, too deep on it, uh, early.
But you know, I wanted to kindof bring up that fact and
mention that.
(09:15):
That tony robbins assessment.
If you guys want to go outthere and look it up, do some
googling.
Like I said, we're not going todig deep into you guys go.
We want to give youfundamentals, you know,
encourage you to go out and doyour homework.
So the six basic human needswas certainty, or IE, security,
right.
Variety, the need for things tochange and have new things from
time to time.
(09:35):
All right.
Significance or recognitionwant to be seen right, we all
want to be recognized in someway.
Right, love and connection Allright.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Of course some way right.
Love and connection, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
of course right, self-expanded of course that's
you ain't gotta, you ain't gotta, you ain't gotta emphasize on
that.
You're right and in growthright whether that's personal or
professional, and thencontribution right right getting
outside of ourselves to go outthere and and meet the world.
Right, all right.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
So yeah, so, so, and you know, you, you think about
all these things is and, andyou're like well, how is that
related to money?
It's related to money in thesense that, in order for you to,
to, to do or to make whatyou're looking to make, because,
think about it, if you're upsetabout something and you're
(10:18):
doing a job, does the job comeout.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Well, that's true, no , no no, not as probably not as
well as it could Right.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
If you're mad, sometime you're making,
especially if you work in anoffice, if you're stressed out
it.
Let's take one of these if youdon't have love and connection
let's say you're having aproblem with your spouse or with
your significant other are youable to concentrate and make
something happen, man?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
you understand, so think about that.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
So you know, and that's the whole point of of
this conversation, yeah, forsure you know, you know you even
have it, you know you even tryto experience things.
Like if you're, if you go dosome research and you, you know
you spend some money on on spendsome money on experiences.
Let's say you take a trip oryou go have fun doing outgoing
(11:13):
things, those things will lastlonger when you spend money
doing those type of things, asopposed to being stressed about
doing other things.
That's that's not gonna giveyou that benefit back because
you spent the money on somethingthat's gonna, you know, last
(11:33):
longer, or or it's gonna giveyou those those warm and fuzzy,
the things that you lovememories, yeah, things that you
connect with.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yeah, you know things that that makes that satisfy
you.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yeah, those things you just with, yeah, you know,
things that that makes thatsatisfy you, those things you
just mentioned, yeah, youunderstand.
So that's what we're talkingabout, that connection with
money and your feelings, andthat's what we mean about the
happiness, and it's kind of hardto connect it but or hard to
explain it, but that's where itcomes from and that's why we
(12:03):
were trying to do this podcastto show, uh, or this particular
subject, to show how happinessand money connects.
Yeah as opposed to what you orwhat people have a perception of
money and how to use money orhow to get money, and it may not
be bringing you the joy thatit's supposed to bring you in
(12:25):
your life.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well, yeah, because maybe the the going after it was
with the wrong energy or withthe wrong intent.
You know, we say connectingmoney and happiness, the pursuit
of just giving your gift at itshighest form to the world, it
will bring money mark our wordsright, hey right giving your
gift at its highest form andbeing free, with it all right
(12:48):
and being able to not to, to beable to put out, drown out
distractions, the world getsreal loud.
But if you're just deep in yourgift and you are focused on
giving that to your best ability, the money, everything, and
guess what, when it comes it, itwon't define you right.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
The money will never be a part of that right.
You know, that reminds me ofsomething somebody said to me
you know who you are.
You'll always be that person,whether you have money or you
don't have money bro say thatagain, man, who you are, you'll
be that person, whether you havemoney or you don't have money.
(13:27):
So if you're a kind person,you'll be a kind of person with
more money.
Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
But if you're an a-hole, you'll be a bigger
a-hole with money.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
It heightens, it multiplies what's inside of us
outside and it brings it outRight, those things that are
going on inside.
With a lot of money it'll,it'll bring those things out at
a at a very heightened factor.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
And you know, man, I want to, I want to say this to
you.
I want to, I want to ask youthis, bro, because you know you,
you are one of my not only oneof my best friends.
You know, I have a.
Really, we keep a small circle.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, yeah but.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I mean, you are also one of the most direct and very
focused people that I know in mylife and you do not let things
that are outside of you get inside of you where it starts,
(14:27):
yeah, where it starts to controlyou, and I talking about?
I'm talking about people, placesand things.
Okay, doesn't matter what it is, whether it's drinking a beer
or whatever you have one whenyou want to have one.
It might be six months latermaybe you have another, but it
doesn't control you, right?
You know what I'm saying andyou know this real quick man I
gotta I gotta throw this in,because we did this on our TV
show and you know I just had tobring it back.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I feel like we couldn't do the episode without
it.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
All right, so you remember this, because I'm happy
all alone, if you feel likeyou're moving.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
I'll be moving Because I'm happy all alone.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Oh, yeah, I feel like I'm happy.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
yeah, yeah, all right really we can't do the show
without bringing in the for realman you know,
Speaker 4 (15:14):
it's just how we talk about yeah, we're talking about
happiness.
Definitely, we gotta play thesong, bro.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It's a feel-good song and you just gotta put it out
there.
But I want to ask you this,mike, I mean seriously, man,
just I want to just share withour people, man, share with our
wealthyness, the world, man.
How do you maintain that senseof calm, no matter how?
I mean, yeah, things are,things are good, things bad,
whatever.
It's just not too high, not toolow, mike's, just right here,
(15:40):
right in the middle.
You know, and I, a mentor, oncetold me, you know, don't get
too high on the highs, don't gettoo low on the lows, because
reality is somewhere in themiddle.
To me, you are the definitionof that, bro.
You know what?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I mean, well, I have to tell you I had a great
teacher.
That's what's up.
And God rest his soul my dadwho just passed away.
Man bro, my dad was the epitomeof stressless.
(16:21):
Nothing stressed this man andwhat I learned from him is what
makes against it.
He's like, okay, my dad was thetype of person.
He came from another country.
He came into this country.
He said one of the reasons whyin a, you know, maybe this was,
uh, god's way of helping him henever bought a house.
(16:44):
And he said the reason why Inever bought a house because I
knew all the stuff that involvedin maintaining a house in this
country was going to not make mylife happy.
So I didn't buy a house.
So I was okay renting where,having the landlord take care of
all the problems.
(17:04):
So he never bought a house.
And you think about that.
You're like, okay, that's kindof weird because we're Americans
and that's the American dreamWe've been setting.
Buy a house, right Buy a house,yeah, but not my dad.
My dad kept it simple and Ilook at that.
(17:27):
I mean I have a betterunderstanding of buying a house,
so it wasn't that much of a bigdeal for me, but for him it was
.
This is not going to make mehappy, so whatever did not make
my dad happy.
He did not allow into his auraand I saw that he lived to be
(17:52):
100 years old because of thatTriple digits.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
man, that's a blessing bro.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
So I've adapted that in my life.
Yeah, I am not going to allowthings to come into my life, and
that's including, you know, ifI have money to allow the money
to dictate my happiness.
(18:18):
Preach brother, say that I'drather give it away, because if
it's not, if it's going to makeme unhappy, I'd rather not have
it.
Man and you know something.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I'd rather not have it, man.
And you know something.
I see the love and the deposits, deposits.
You know we talk about depositsand withdrawal.
I see the deposits you makeinto your twin girls and you
know, whenever I hear you talkabout your father bro, I see I
can relate that directly to theway I see you with them.
Yeah, you know what I'm sayingand the things that you give
(18:53):
them, and I mean it could, itcould be a, it could be a
straight storm, blizzard of lifegoing on, man.
But you, you know, if it's gotsomething to do with them, it's
just hey, this is Cause.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
That's what makes me happy.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see that.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
That's what makes me happy.
I see that, bro, whatever theyneed, whatever's necessary for
them, and real talk right now.
An ex-girlfriend told me thathe's like the three most
important thing in your life isyour three kids, and she sure is
right.
My son he's 27, and my uh, twingirls, 10 years old yeah most
(19:36):
important things in my life.
That's what I do, whatever I'mdoing.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Making enough money, getting more money to make sure
they're okay man, brother, youknow, I know that they're gonna
grow up to be very proudextensions of you.
Man, I want to say that that's,that's, that's real man.
You know, I give you, I giveyou so much credit and respect
(20:02):
for that, bro.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
And it's not easy to do, and I'll give one more
advice about the happiness thingand this is maybe a little bit
off on the money thing, but hey,this is all to appreciate.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, we gotta do it.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, we gotta talk about it and everybody who's in
in the who's hearing this.
The other thing you gotta do islook at yourself in the mirror.
You gotta make yourself happy.
Yeah, make yourself happy first, because guess what if you're
not making yourself happy?
Whatever you like, if I makeany amount of money and we said
this in another podcast I paymyself first 10%.
(20:40):
If I make $100, I'm payingmyself 10 bucks.
I got to do something with it.
How could I work so hard tomake $100 and not give myself
anything?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
That's ludicrous that's man and the way you put
that.
You know, it seemed like itshould be simple, right so,
wealthians, you're out there,take care of you.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
First, make you make yourself happy.
First, you're number one.
Make you happy and then letthat energy spill out to
everyone else, especially to theones you love.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
There you go man In the form of your gift, because
everybody got a gift to give.
So that's my advice hey, andlook we completely off.
We're not on script, right?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
now we are off script , bro, we get back on script.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
No, get back on.
No, no, no, no.
I love this, though, man.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I love this I I, this is real, this is from the heart
, I really, I always know whenI'm listening to somebody, when
they're just straight comingfrom the soul, man, right and I,
nothing makes me listen and payattention more than when I feel
that, right, you know, I mean,people ain't gotta see us, they
ain't gotta be looking you inthe eye to feel you, bro, and to
feel your spirit.
Man, I'm glad you brought thatup, by the way, because I want
(21:58):
to mention this about avoidingcomparison traps.
Right, all right, all right,constantly comparing your
financial situation, all yourmarriage, or just children, for
that matter, to others, others,which can drain your happiness?
Right, focus on your ownjourney and progress.
Right, because we're all on our, yeah, we're, we may be, you
(22:18):
know, in life, we, we connect topeople and we may choose people
that we're going to.
You know what it was going tobusiness with, like you know, me
and mike and I, you know, wenaturally, genuinely found
ourselves in a businessrelationship and we're, we're,
thriving in it.
You know what I mean.
It was not forced, it was notforced.
It just literally happened onits own.
All right, it was organic.
(22:39):
Right, he's like man we go justsit here talking about this you
know, every day we might aswell start writing some stuff
down, right?
You know, one thing led toanother and you know genuinely,
here we are, but you know youare on.
We are all on our path in lifeand we are going through seasons
right and we are not to comparechapter 2 to chapter 25, right
(23:07):
in someone else's life.
So and that, and that's likemike, you always talk about
gratitude man right and that'sbeing grateful in that moment.
Take a minute, take a second, begrateful for how far we've come
and the journey that is ahead.
Right, you know, because we'reliving, we are living this life.
You know, I'm saying, if you,if you going through, some
(23:30):
congratulations, because, guesswhat, you going through, you not
stuck in, right, right, so you,just, you just said, you just
spoke the words of victory,right there.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
man, I'm going through some congratulations.
You just spoke victory, right?
You didn't just say what'sgoing on, man, oh, I'm stuck in
something, right?
I'm saying because that couldhave been your mindset.
Most times we say we're goingthrough something, but in our
head we're stuck in it, right?
So let's believe the words thatwe're saying when we say
something is negative, is I'mgoing through something and
believe that that's a positive.
(24:00):
I'm going through, I'm notgoing to be here forever and
there's going to be a way.
There's going to be a solutionwill present itself if I just
stay positive and believe Rightpositive and believe Right.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
And mentally, you have to adapt a growth mindset.
Instead of stressing over whatyou don't have, think about what
you can achieve.
Yes, you know, build financialgoals, give you, give, you know,
give yourself a sense ofpurpose and control, because,
(24:29):
because, like you were saying,you know, just, you don't want
to be stuck or something.
You, you want to be able togrow out of it mentally and and
that's the and that's gonnabring you that happiness I love
it brother, I love it man, andlook going back to others all
right, so excuse me yeah give,give back to others yeah, I'm
(24:53):
saying.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Well, it is true.
Going back to others, yes, giveback to others, right right.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Helping someone in need, whether through donations,
gifts or or your time, yes,creates a deep sense of
fulfillment yes, all right andthat's a spiritual, that's, oh,
that's definitely the spiritualright.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
That's a spiritual content.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Right here we hitting the spiritual when it comes to
money right now I'm telling you,bro, and look man, I, I see it
in my mom's eyes every time II'm I am moving a lot and I do
work a lot.
I know I put a lot into mycraft and things I'm doing day
to day, but you know it does hitme at night.
Gotta winch, gotta go check onmoms, and if I sit down there
(25:31):
for a few minutes I she valuesthat time so much, whether it's
five minutes, ten minutes,whatever, man, you know, I'm
reminding myself right now tomake sure I'm intentional about
that?
right you know, I'm saying thankyou, god for reminding me that,
because, just saying it rightnow, I feel it, bro, right just
sitting there, it don't matterif you're not saying a word and
you're just listening to hertalk.
(25:52):
Bro, you just went and visitedyour mom yeah, I just did bro,
man, just real quick, I I heyhey, man, if we go, we go okay
because, we're giving it.
We're giving it to him thisholiday season.
Right, there you go, we'respreading cheer the fbn way,
yeah, and it's, and it's real.
So when you walked in the doorwhen your mom's bro, you didn't
tell nobody was coming.
You didn't tell nobody he wascoming.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I didn't tell anybody I was coming, okay, and nobody
was coming.
My mom has a dementia.
She's pretty much not mobilized, but she's been getting better.
I heard she's been gettingbetter and then I went to see
her a couple of days ago andthen I walked through the door
and everybody's looking at melike what, like they saw a ghost
(26:36):
.
I'm like, okay, it's only.
I know I didn't tell you guys,I was coming.
But come on, now it's I.
This is me, mike and then no,they said no.
No, it's not that.
Mom was just saying where'smike?
Where's mike?
I want to talk to mike.
Wow bro, she sensed that I wascoming.
That made me happy.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I bet he did.
I believe it ain't nothing likea mother's love for her son bro
.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
It's nothing, and you know that that goes back to
what you were saying giving back.
You know that.
You know just being able to go.
What you gave to her in thatmoment, bro, that was a gift,
you know.
And then we, she, yeah, andthen we, she, yeah.
She didn't say much, but I satthere with her for an hour, just
(27:27):
just my present.
Yeah, she spoke about somethings.
I had no no idea what she wastalking about don't matter,
don't matter but my presence.
That was there, yeah, yeah, shewanted to speak to me and I flew
from california, new york, 3000 miles.
You can't go no further withoutjumping in the water, and she's
and then she just sensed that Iwas coming.
Man, that's deep and and it wascrazy, but you know it's.
(27:50):
You know giving back thatthat's where your happiness is
going to come from and beingafford to be able, using money
to do that.
You know, yeah, it took moneyfor me to fly to get there and I
had to save that money to flyto get there to do that.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
You know that's that contribution piece too from the
from the tony robbins study.
I don't know if he, we don'tknow if he did it first or right
first or whatever, but it was astudy that was done and you
know we happen to come across it, but that's definitely that
contribution piece right right,right, so they did for you.
I'm sure it was even exactly so.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
You know, wealthians out there try not to be too
materialistic, you know, try tofind these different things
that's gonna make you happy.
Don't go out and buy gadgetsand stuff like that that you
think it's gonna make you happybecause you're gonna buy.
Just like kids, they ask fortoys, you, you go out, they cry
for it, you buy for them.
(28:42):
Guess what?
Five minutes later, where'sthat toy right in that corner.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Think about that they playing with the box right,
they play with the box.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
That's the same believe it or not, that's the
same thing with us you want thatpurse or you want that jacket
or you want that stuff, that'snot gonna give you happiness.
That's not gonna give youhappiness.
You know.
Give back to your family, giveback to you, to you, your
religion, if that's what youknow, those things can pay back
(29:12):
ten times full.
That's what's up to the peopleyou love.
Those are gonna pay you backten times full.
Yeah, yeah, that that goes.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
What you're saying with the, you know detaching
from materialism too, bro, yes,you know that's deep man.
So, saying with the, you knowdetaching from materialism too,
bro, yes, you know that's deepman, so I love that, you know.
True, well, comes fromrelationships, community purpose
, all right.
So man are we go.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
We got to get into the breakdown why because I know
we're gonna keep me here allnight.
Hey look real quick.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Before y'all, before we get into this breakdown,
y'all go research something elsecalled the five love languages.
Yes, I'm getting cheesy.
It's who I?
am, I'm, you know I'm made oflove, so hey, there it is for
y'all.
So you know just something.
It's actually a book the fivelove languages like too.
So there's there's receivinggifts or gift giving.
That's one of the love language.
Another one is quality time.
Obviously we talked about thatuh, words of affirmation.
(29:58):
This is, this is, yeah,definitely, I, I know, I'm
definitely uh, words ofaffirmation.
And the next one here acts ofservice you know, doing things
through showing love, throughdoing things.
It could be.
This could be a laundry, thiscould be doing a dishes,
cleaning the house for your, foryour significant other or
whatever.
Right, right.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Right.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Um words of affirmation is obviously you
know, uh, I value you, I respectyou.
Thank you for you know whatyou've, what you've, what you've
done for me in my life, Thingslike that Saying build we're
using words to build people upRight and then, of course,
physical touch you know somepeople from a hug, or, or, or,
or just holding a holding handsor something like that.
These are ways that, um, youknow, these are different love
(30:37):
languages that we all interactand use from time to time to
communicate our affection topeople, our feelings to people.
So, you know, this is somethingthat we thought, or I mean, it
just really hit my heart, Mike,that we should put that out
there to give to our wealthians,Because, again, bringing back
full circle these things that goon inside will eventually allow
(30:59):
us to give our gift at itshighest level, will eventually
allow us to give our gift at itshighest level, and that will
translate into all of the meansthat you will ever want to
obtain in this world as awealthy.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
And guess what?
Most of these things are free.
You didn't need money for that.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Those- you ain't got to get no prescription you ain't
got to buy the book.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Are you saying those things are?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
free all free bro how about that, man?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
how about that?
Oh man, I love it.
Man, let's get into thebreakdown.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Let's get into the breakdown okay the literal the
literal is emulating financialstress eliminating oh sorry,
sorry, my bad sorry.
Sorry.
Eliminating financial stress,being debt-free or having
emergency fund can bring peaceof mind which directly impacts
(31:52):
your happiness.
That's real.
So that's the literal.
You know, when we do thebreakdown, we always tell you
what's the literal, mental andspiritual.
So, in this episode, debt free.
So and and debt free is in inour society, you know, it's I, I
.
I don't want to say it's ahundred percent, because you can
(32:14):
still have a mortgage, you canstill have car payments.
I would say debt free in thissense of the word is having
enough savings.
God forbid something happens.
You know you have at leastthree months they say three to
six months of savings for yourregular bills and then after
that you're not.
(32:35):
You're not having big creditcard bills and all those other
things to put you in a situationwhere you're more happy when
you don't have all these crazybills.
You have savings enough andthat's the literal sense of the
money making you happy.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah, that's that security factor, I believe, bro,
and I would even argue thatthat equates to giving more to
something than you take from it,right, whether that's a
relationship, a job that maybecan go a little, that can border
on spiritual, but stillliterally giving more to
something than you take fromthat, right, right, and guess
what?
(33:14):
It works best if everybody doesit there.
You go.
All right, let's hit him withthe mental Yep.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Practice financial gratitude or appreciation.
I appreciate you, gratitudeisn't just for the big things.
Be thankful for the smallfinancial wins, like savings I
just said that On groceries, orhitting a budget goal.
(33:43):
See, that goes hand in handwith the literal.
That's for real.
I like savings, just savings oneverything, or having a budget
will give you that moneyhappiness.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Bro, I love that.
Hey look man, the Chiefs wasplaying the game the other day
and they barely won by a couplepoints.
You know what Patrick Mahomessaid after the game.
What did he say?
Porter's like how you feelabout just barely something.
Like something today said abouthow you feel about just barely
winning.
A win is a win Pretty much.
He said a win.
He said what's the score?
(34:17):
Say.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Hey, that W it doesn't say 12 wins kinda, it
says 12 wins.
The Chief had 10 wins this yearand they had four, kinda wins.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
No, it's 14 wins there you go.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
A win is a win, bro, that's it All right.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
So loving that and, of course, the spiritual man.
You already know we got to doit.
So use money as a tool, not agoal.
So use money as a tool, not agoal.
Money is a means to an end, notthe end itself.
All right, when you use it tosupport your passions and enrich
your life, it aligns with yourdeeper spiritual purpose.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Wow, that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, man, that's deep brother.
They might have to rewind thata couple of times brother, I'm
not going to say it again.
They can rewind it a couple oftimes, but love, love, love that
, Because money is a toolbrother.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
You know what I mean.
That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
And, like we said earlier, it's going to emphasize
what's going on inside of us.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, who you are.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
And magnify who we are on the outside.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
All right.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
We just have more of it to work with, because now
this, this money, this thing,this tool is now giving us
access.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
All right.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
So we support our passions and literally again I'm
going to say it again and Isaid it 15 times around this
episode brother, allow us tooperate in a way that allows us
to give our gift at its highest,at its highest form, to the
world and bring back more andmore and more abundance that we
can then circulate back into theworld.
(35:50):
And now there's this, there'sthis meaningful cycle that's
going on and it's endless.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
It's infinite, forever.
