So in this episode we're gonnabe asking the question can real
(01:45):
love exist without finance?
And look, mike, I want to go.
Yeah, I know right we're gonnaruffle some feathers on this one
brother.
Hey, look we asking, okay,because this is this real talk,
and look, I'm gonna just, I'mgonna just go in and I promise
you I wasn't gonna get toolong-winded on this one.
But I definitely want to startwith going in on my own personal
(02:07):
feelings on this.
Okay, because you know I justso happen to have I'm blessed to
have a significant other whereour business is finance right.
So, yeah, exactly that's ourbusiness.
So for us to have a conversationabout finances is not
necessarily uncomfortablebecause it's just happening all
the time, constantly,consistently, but this is
(02:30):
something that for most people,we have two different careers.
The man and the woman will havetwo different careers or what
have you, and they may not bealways talking about their
perspective professions all thetime.
Now, this is a great thing todo and come together and have an
understanding of this is whatyou do, this is what I do, this
is what I do, this is what I'mgood at and I respect the things
that you're good at for couplesin relationships, because
(02:51):
having an understanding offinances in the home is very,
very important.
And having these conversationsearly on.
I don't feel like we should beuncomfortable or unwilling to
have those, because you know andnowadays I mean you know, and
nowadays I mean you know, I knowit's the microwave generation,
bro, but you know, if you're, ifyou have somebody who you see
potential with, these areconversations that can be
(03:15):
uncomfortable up front, but ifyou're getting it out the way
early and often and you're doingit, then this is gonna make
your relationship strongerbecause eventually, guess what
it's gonna come down to it.
It's going to you're gonna it,then this is going to make your
relationship stronger Becauseeventually, guess what it's
going to come down to it it'sgoing to You're going to end up
having to talk about thefinances, bro.
So be open and honest about itup front and early Right.
And like I said for me, askingme to question myself do I
(03:37):
believe love can exist withoutfinance?
Okay, so, if you have a foundfor me, if you have, you know
I'm all about the, the, theheart part, peace.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Mike, right yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Spiritual.
If you have a foundation trust,respect, faithfulness and you
know it's you and me, it's youand me and we're going to go out
(04:09):
in this can have.
We get to exist with both, weget to have love and we get to
have the finance piece straightbetween each other, the
understanding between each other.
Because get, because, like Isaid, I'm gonna say it again
trust, respect, faithfulness allright.
So we can go in and we can takeon anything else together.
It's no problem, all right.
So, having that love exist inthe heart of finance and with
(04:31):
finance and being able to talkabout those things very openly
and honestly, bro, it's justhaving the strong foundation.
So, setting that for me, if youset that strong foundation, bro
, it's not about having loveexist without finance, it's
about having a foundation oflove and then you can place that
finance on top of it.
(04:52):
That's what's up for me.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
That's what's up, and
you know what.
You know what we already didfor them, right?
I know this episode is aboutreal love, but we already kind
of set the roadmap for them inepisode three and four.
Yeah, what love got to do.
What love got to do with itthat is true, man so we did that
(05:14):
we set the roadmap for them.
But you, you know, anton, thisthis gets gets me going, like
when we talking about real,because love is a it's a true
thing that we have to deal withevery day.
Every day, whether it's yourpartner, whether it's a family.
This is the love that we have,and this kind of reminds me of
uh, a song, because there are alot of songs out there.
(05:37):
You know what love got to dowith it, with the tina turner,
we spoke about and, and then youknow, love don't cost nothing
but a thing.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Love ain't nothing
but a thing.
I forgot about that one.
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It's hip-hop to pay
tribute to a whole bunch of them
.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Okay, there's a lot
of songs out there about love,
but what really reminds me ofreal love, which is part of the
title of the song, is our Mary JBlige song.
Oh yeah, man, real love.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yo we title of the
song is our mary j blodge.
Oh yeah, man real love yo.
We should just go ahead andplay that.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Okay, give a click
bam but you know, thank you to
miss mary j blodge for thatShout out to Mary J.
Shout out to Mary J Blige.
But at the end of the day,society has, given you know, has
(06:30):
conditioned us.
You see how she sung about it.
She wasn't talking aboutfinance, about it, it's true.
All she was talking about isfeeling good with her heart,
making her heart feel good, andsociety has conditioned us to
believe that's the only way, orthat's the only thing that's
involved in real love.
Right, and it's not it's notit's not there's so much there's
(06:54):
so much going on.
There are many elements, youknow.
You know I'm going to ask.
Answer the question Can reallove exist without finance?
I say no.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
The question can real
love exist without finance?
I say no.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I say no, tell them
like it is.
Look real talk.
These days there's no romancewithout finance, there's no
romance without fighting, andthat's coming from a lot of
sisters out there a lot of thesewomen running the country bro
right they run the country, bro.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
They run the country
Better.
Have your stuff together.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Listen, statistically
.
Now I heard that minoritieswomen are making more than men.
Yeah, so this has got to be apart of that in the environment.
It's because it makes sense forit to be Right as wealthy as we
have to think about this.
Yes, you may love somebody youmay take from mary j bar.
(07:49):
That's one aspect of it.
What marriage, some, somebodyyou could find in your heart?
Yeah, beautiful, okay.
What about part two?
Yeah, what about the person?
And you're looking and that'sreal talk.
You're looking at both finance,whether you have a job, you
don't have a job, whether youyou't have a job, whether you're
making a certain type of money,you're not making a certain
type of money, can we?
(08:09):
But in this society, it'sreally got to be 50-50.
Yeah, yeah it has to be a 50-50.
And we need to stop looking forlove in all the wrong places.
Man say it again Stop lookingfor love in all the wrong places
man say it again stop lookingfor love in all the wrong places
.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Whooping panub in all
the wrong places.
That's real bro.
That's, that's serious.
That's some serious stuff.
It is for real man.
It's like we are the microwavegeneration and it's very, very
convenient, almost tooconvenient, right, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
So and and and all of
this boils down to okay, this
is the environment that we're inright now.
You know, it's not like back inthe day where you know the man
goes and work and brings on thebacon and maybe the woman is
doing a little thing on the sideto help that.
That those days are over.
Yeah, these women.
Those days are over listen, andgeneration x, generation z, it's
(09:05):
all about 50, 50, real talk,yeah, real talk, like I don't
know.
Look, I have young, uh, young,kids.
Hey, my son is 27 years old.
I'll tell you right now, that'shis mindset, that's our, that's
our society.
Now, right, right, it's a, it'sa two household income society
(09:30):
and if you are in love or youlove that person, that has to be
a part of it?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
yeah, for sure.
And you know I, mike, I, I wantto.
I want to iterate on something.
I don't think this doesn't meanthat you know you got to be
rich or something like that, toto have this type of freedom.
But be have your hands onsomething, be having, give, give
you, I mean if you'llsignificant, give your
significant other something tobe proud.
I mean I can speak from thepoint of view of a man because
(09:57):
you know that's us, you know wefinance bros, but having
something that you do, like thisfinance bros, this mission of
ours, this is something that'sclose to our hearts right you
know me and my significant other.
We have a business together, butshe knows this is my dream and
she's able to support me in mydream.
Because I have a dream that isoutside of the realm of our
(10:18):
intertwined uh, workings that wedo together, and so I'm I'm out
here in the world trying to.
It's like more like oh yes, youhave a, you have a, you have a
business, or you have a job orwhatever you want to call it, or
you have something that you doto create income, but at the
same time, you also havesomething like a gift that you
want to leave this world with.
You know, I mean, if you're nothere, no more, this is
(10:40):
something that they can, all theworld can always go back to and
like OK, this was Anton, thiswas Mike's contribution to the
universe you know what I'msaying or to the people, or
whatever they want to call it.
Right so and I love that, so,have something that you put in
your hands on to give thatsignificant other something to
be proud of, something tosupport you with, because if you
ain't doing nothing, what yougoing to support, right Right,
(11:02):
what then?
What you gonna support?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
right right, go be
supportive of sitting on the
couch and you know what, anton,again, the sad part is it's not
about love by itself anymore.
It's sad, but it's our realityright right, it's our reality.
Yes, at one point, point in oursociety that one income was
(11:24):
able to do what he had to dowork hard.
Or or maybe she vice versa, shecould work real hard and bring
in that one income, and then hehe takes care of everything at
the house or vice versa, shetakes care of this.
There's no way.
There's no way with inflation,with everything that's going on.
There's no way.
If you're again, I mentionedthe 45 percent of divorce.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Now is is because of
financial finances yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So you know, we have
to think about that and we have
to consider that when we'relooking for love.
Yeah it.
It may sound like we're likeputting a shadow over it or
cloud over making it about themoney, but it's not as it's so
much it's so much more than that, mike, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
And one thing I would
like to make sure that that I
do mention is about the futureof being together for love and
understanding.
Finance is to think about lifegoals, right, and you know my
senior brother.
She also has goals and dreamsthat she wants to do outside of
our business and I support herfully in that.
Whatever amount of love needsto be put into that situation,
(12:30):
make sure she has the supportshe has to go take on the world
and vice versa.
I want to give her that right.
So you so make sure you haveyour, your long-term goals, or
short-term goals, or goals ofany kind, understood between
each other.
Long-term investments,retirement plans and even life
insurance wow, all right, talkit up, talk it all of that, all
right.
Having these things, thesehaving these conversations,
(12:51):
ensures both partners areprepared and have a shared
vision for the future.
Emphasize, shared vision forthe future.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Right, you know, I
mean, you know her dream, she
knows yours, and y'all can goout there and win like you do it
and that, and that's the onlyway to do it these days, bro,
I'm telling you, man, that's theonly way, because you know what
.
So it, even if let's say shewas that and I and I I don't
like to use this word, but let'ssay it's used in the bible.
So forgive me and don't, don'tchastise me if I let's say she's
(13:23):
the submissive type, okay, thesubmissive type.
Even with the person being thesubmissive type, you cannot go
out and do it all on your ownand her just chilling and just
like, well, he's going to dothis is all he could do.
No, right?
This is where you have to say,okay, my husband is doing this,
(13:46):
or my partner is doing thisbecause you know we are a
different nation.
Now my partner is doing this,yeah it's true.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
What can I do?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
at my capacity,
because it's out there for you
to do I like that.
That's respectful.
Yeah, it's out there for you todo I like that.
That's respectful.
Yeah, yeah, it's true, it's outthere, whoever you could be.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
You know, we in sales
we talk about, uh, different
type of personalities and uh,yeah, yeah, we, we have that's
gonna be on a master class,right, right, right.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
But but but, but
these I'm just comparing it,
let's say, your personality is awhale which is warm and fuzzy
always oh, oh.
Most mothers are whales.
They're, oh, this baby or ashark.
A shark is like let's get thisdone, let's get this done.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Boss, what do?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
you do.
Or a sea urchin, sea urchin,analytical, analytical, okay,
analytical, okay.
One plus one is two, three,four.
It's like everything's got thenumbers got to be right, the
numbers got to be right, all thedetails, and then, and then you
got the dolphins, like yo, whowe gonna party with today.
Oh, but who got the money,brother, you know?
So you have these differenttype of personalities, and guess
(14:58):
what?
There's a genre where you canmake money in every type of
those personalities.
So, yes, quote, unquote,submissive.
But how are you going tosupport this?
Remember, this society isreally 50 50.
I don't care how much money youmake and just out of the
respect, yeah, let's say, youknow he is making a billion
(15:22):
dollars, or she's making abillion dollars.
What are you going tocontribute?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
right, right.
You better be able to createthat safe space for them to come
and write that what you need,right for what, what you need
them to be, you got to createthat safe space for them to come
and be that and support supporta lot of a lot of people who
are making that kind of that.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
their wife is
supporting it, she or her
husbands are supporting them.
They're not just out spendingthe money and coming home and
having the mega.
What kind of respect you wantin that relationship?
I like it.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
That's real.
What kind of respect.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
You got to be doing
something.
Society is dictating, and itshould be.
You should be your own own, youshould have your own and then
come together and be together,right, yeah, you should have
your own the.
Your partner should have yourown, and then, when it's time to
come together, you have whatyou have together.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
That's right, it's
already.
It's two holes right, not twohalves necessarily.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Exactly, I feel you
exactly, and that's where that
love match comes in.
Yeah, most definitely, becauseyou're doing what you need to do
to satisfy yourself, becausethe society, unfortunately, is
dictating that, because ifyou're not doing something,
you'll be left behind, you'regoing to feel a certain type of
way and it's going to causeproblems in the relationship
(16:45):
certain type of way and it'sgoing to cause problems in the
relationship.
That's real.
That's real, brother.
So so be out there to do whatyou have to do.
You know, and you know I, Ican't.
I cannot talk about mentalsupport like financial.
Stress can take a toll on anyrelationship.
Being each other support, likeI just said, support system
during a tough time is essential.
(17:07):
It's about lifting each otherup, not dragging each other down
.
We got to make sure that we arethere for each other.
We're working towards making itbetter for each other.
If we come home and that personis supporting us the best way
(17:28):
they can, let's say you knowthey're doing their thing,
they're working hard on business, and then they come home and
you have the capability to havefood ready for that person.
Why not do that?
Even ordering the food, evenordering food, it's a way of
support.
So why not do that?
(17:50):
And that's that mental focus.
That's where, mentally, youhave to say okay, this is how
I'm going to support.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, I love it, man.
That's real talk, bro, that'sreal talk.
And look, Mike man, this isreally close to my heart
especially.
I know I always say that, buteverything you do is close to my
heart, we wouldn't do it at all.
Right, all right.
And I also believe that thislove is an energy alignment.
Okay, when both partners bringpositive energy and shared sense
(18:23):
of purpose, it creates aharmonious relationship.
And practicing gratitude, andpracticing gratitude and
mindfulness together, canamplify, amplify this energy Boy
man.
Oh my.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
God, let's have a
moment of silence for what you
just said there, bro.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Bro, that's that's
deep too, man.
That's that's that's so deep,right there that's energy.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
That's what I'm
talking about.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Bring that energy
alignment brother, yeah, and,
and later, how we're going totalk and talk, how we're going
to talk about matching thatenergy, right, right, because
when you're, bro, when you'rebringing that to the table, if
you bring in negativity to thetable, trust me it's going to be
just like if you put negativeout in the world negative is
going to come back.
If you put in positive in theworld, positive is going to come
back.
You put out good, you get good.
(19:14):
You put out bad, you get bad.
This is the same with yoursignificant other brother.
Oh, man, bro, this hit me sohard the other day and I was
actually telling I was.
I was telling my girl, I waslike you know, if if there's
something that I feel like Ineed from you that I'm not
getting, I now believe andunderstand that I have to give
(19:38):
more of that.
Wow, just give more of that.
If you need more love in acertain area, then give more
love in that certain area, right.
And if you got a good andbrother, if you got a good one,
if you got a good partner, theywill reciprocate bro you, you
said it it creates a harmoniousrelationship yes, bro they're
(20:01):
gonna reciprocate, man, becausethey, they, they want again I'm
saying the basic fundamentalstrust, respect, respect, loyalty
.
This is somebody who cuts foryou, this is somebody who, who
sees themselves with you for therest of your life, just like
you see yourself with them forthe rest of your life.
Right, you guys have a likeunderstanding already.
(20:21):
You know, I think we're nottalking about all the, all the
the worldly stuff out there,right, that we don't belong a
part of the worldly stuff outthere that we don't belong a
part of.
I'm talking about a real,unique relationship that's
strong, has a good foundationand y'all have this sense where
you come together and the moreyou understand each other and
the more you have theseconversations, where you grow
(20:41):
together, even if it's goingthrough a tough time.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
It's man, it's, it's
beautiful it's, it's amazing,
it's amazing.
And also looking at trust inabundance, believing in an
abundance of the universe andtrusting in each other.
Financial decisions cancultivate a sense of peace and
partnership.
It's about faith in each otherand the journey yes, sir so just
(21:09):
just think about that, thattrust, and full abundance.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I love that.
Do you know what I love aboutthat?
What you said, the journey, thejourney.
This is a journey that we'vetaken together.
It's not a sprint, it's amarathon, right, all right, and
we are, and we're on the samepage, and if we get off of the
same page, it's just a matter ofsitting down and getting back
on the same page.
Right, very, very and I knowthis may sound like you know, if
(21:37):
you, if you look at it in the,in the worldly sense, it's like
it's complicated as heck.
Right, what about?
this what about that yeah, andthis happened to me before and
that happened.
Hey, you know what?
What happened to me before butbefore her and what happened to
me before and that happened.
You know what?
What happened to me before butbefore her and what happened to
her before me.
This is this is new.
You know what I'm saying.
We're not yet.
Yes, it will play some partsand there are some things that
(21:58):
we have to work out and thingsMaybe we have to get over about
how we may have been treated orwhat life has done to us or
whatever.
There's some things.
I get it, but keep in mind,look across from you and this
person if you know this personis for you and you really
choosing this person, then bewilling to go through it and get
over it, man, because she's notfit to treat you like he was.
(22:21):
He was treated before thisperson, not fit to treat you
like he was getting treatedbefore.
This person is here to betteryou, to help build you Right, so
we don't have to go in withthat energy.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
No more, right, and
I'm going to hit them with
something real hard.
I'm like I'm going to go realon them right now.
Give it, let's have it, let'shave it.
Look before you go out andtrying to find real love, find
(22:53):
real love with yourself.
Another moment of silence.
Because if you find that reallove for yourself, you know what
you like, you know what you,you want in life, you know what
you want to be in life, and I'mtalking about our, our young gen
x, gen z's out there, and evenyou know our, our, you know
generation x?
Uh, well, not, I saidgeneration x, we'll say the
generation y.
I should say generation y,generation c there's all the
(23:16):
alphabets nowadays I figure.
but let's say, uh, our, uh, allthe the millennials who are
going through it now.
Maybe they got in divorce,maybe they, they, they built
something, they thought theywere building with somebody and
then it fell off.
Go back, find the real lovewithin yourself.
(23:38):
What you like, what you dislike, you know what that is and just
try to match that energy withsomebody.
It's out there.
There's over 3 billion peopleon this planet and if you're
looking for it, you'll find it.
somebody's gonna match thatenergy yeah, that's true so try
(23:58):
to do whatever you need to do.
Find real love within yourself,yeah, find somebody else who
found real love withinthemselves, right, right, and
then create those fireworks bro.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
You see, oh man, that
hits me.
What you just said, it's afrequency, right, right.
If you're not out generatingthe frequency, then the
frequency can't be met to findyou all right.
So if you're putting out thatof which you wish to bring back,
then you'll.
Then you'll find that energythat matches you.
But we gotta be the energyfirst.
Yep, if you want someone totrust you wish to bring back,
then you'll.
Then you'll find that energythat matches you.
But we gotta be the energyfirst.
Yep, if you want someone totrust, you have to be
(24:33):
trustworthy.
Yep, you know.
I'm saying if you, if you wantsomeone to love, you better be
lovable and you know what I'mgonna say.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
You want a
communicator, you gotta
communicate.
And I'm gonna say this too betruthful with that person up
front.
Hey, yeah, I, I don't likedoing this, right?
I?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
don't like doing that
.
Don't, don't pretend, don't puton the same right right, all
right, listen yeah, hey, uh.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You want to go off.
You want to go to this type ofconcert.
Real talk, I don't like doingthat right and guess, guess what
?
That's okay, that's okay, you,that's, that's you being all the
same thing right that's youbeing real to yourself and maybe
that's okay with them, becauseyou know we we're not going to
go into this part, but there'salways an 80 20 rule.
(25:16):
I call it 80 20, okay, all rightso if 80 percent of the time
you love this person and 20percent of 20 percent of the
time you like them, I thinkthat's a great match, right,
right if 80 percent ofeverything that's going on,
because it's never 100.
We ain't perfect, bro, it's not, we ain't perfect in love, but
but if we can, that energy, yeah, and then your future together,
(25:40):
is it all the same?
And then it, it equates to 80to 20 percent of the time, right
, right, what do you think?
Then you're a fool, then youdon't deserve that person.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
That person needs to
find somebody else at real talk
and look, don't, don't messaround and get caught out there
trying to find that 20 and thenend up losing the 80 or trying
to.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I think I think you
meant trying to not deal with
that 20, because that 20 couldbe the first thing that you see
Right, right, right.
And then you lose out on the80%.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah you don't want
to do that, bro, so don't look
at that.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Don't focus on the 20
.
Yeah, let's focus on the 80%.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Yeah, for real and
love and communication and going
back to the trust and loyaltyman that that'll make up that 20
, because we're all, we're allhuman beings, bro, we're not
gonna be perfect.
She might got something or theymight have some things they
don't like about you that muchthat's true.
You might be.
You, I'm sure.
If, if they missing 20, trustme, you missing 22 right.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
But if that 20 say
you know what it's not something
I love, but I could deal withthat, it's okay.
He's giving me this or she'sgiving me that, right.
Or they're giving me this, youknow, right, this is nothing
Okay.
So maybe during the footballgame, let's say it's a man and a
woman.
During the football game, Ialways make a date out with the
(27:05):
girls.
That's his football time.
Leave him alone right, right,you know.
Or, or she'd like to have abook club.
If she wants to do this, allright, uh, listen, uh, oh,
tonight I'm gonna have beer withthe guys.
Leave you alone, all right.
Matter of fact here, uh, here'ssome extra money for some, for
(27:26):
some snacks and wine and stuff.
You don't think she's going tolove you even more for that.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
I'm telling you, man,
and y'all got your own things
Right, you come back together,you coming home, you coming back
together to that energy.
Yeah, there's going to be moreenergy now.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, there's going
to be more clarity for what you
want in the future now.
Future now because you wereable to manage or give her or
him that autonomy to do what hewanted to do, because he became
he, he was whole, he was wholewith his already.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah, yes, there's
already whole.
There's no void.
There's no void.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah you trust
that that's what he wants to do.
You trust that that's what shewanted to do, and you cool with
it.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You ain't responsible
for their happiness they not
responsible for your happiness.
There you go, boom bro.
That's a good segue right therelet's go to the breakdown
because we could talk about this.
I know we could, all right, sowe're gonna hit him with the
literal.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
The the literal, for
is financial transparency.
Being upfront about yourfinance situation is critical.
This includes discussing debtsavings financial goals early in
the relationship.
Remember any relationshipupfront.
Let them know Credit score.
Let them know why not Somepeople might not.
(28:47):
Oh, credit score 650, deuces.
Let them know why not somepeople might not.
Oh, credit score, uh, 650, uh,deuces.
Let them know transparency.
Transparency builds trust andsets the stage for a healthy
partnership.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I love that, bro, and
you know I want to say this set
the stage for that informationto be accepted?
Yes, you don't just slap a piein somebody's face.
Here's all my stuff.
Take it or leave it, right,like there's a way to do it, bro
.
There's a tasteful way to set astage for the other person to
(29:22):
be able to receive you, allright.
So it's very important, man,you can talk.
So believe, please believe youcan talk about, believe, please
believe you can talk about thesethings.
Okay, early to where you're not, because, I mean, nobody wants
to waste time, okay, we don'twant to waste our time.
We, and sometimes we'recommunicating this even to hear
how the person's going to handle, right, the information.
(29:42):
That's right, all right.
So there's a way to do it andit's very there's a very
tasteful way to do it.
And just remember whateverbooks you got to read or what do
you got to come talk to one ofus, or whoever you trust to talk
to there's a way to set thestage and create a space for
someone to receive you forwhatever it is.
You got to tell them there yougo.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
All right, let's go
to the mental.
To the mental yep goalalignment, I Goal alignment.
I love that Goal alignment.
Mentally envisioning yourfuture together is powerful,
Whether it's career ambitions orpersonal dreams.
Being mentally aligned withyour goals helps steer the
(30:24):
relationship in a forwarddirection.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Man brother, what a
forward direction, man brother,
what Forward direction, that'smental.
That's good, bro.
That's mental, you're bothcoming together mentally.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
This is my dreams.
This is a line You're not goingto do something stupid because
you don't want to mess up his orher dream.
He's not going to do somethingstupid.
You don't want to mess up hisor her dream.
He's not going to do somethingstupid.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
You don't want to
mess up his or her dream.
That's true.
That's true, brother.
I love that man and it'ssharing openly and with
conviction, because that personis going to see how that dream
comes out of your heart.
Right, when you talk about it,when we're talking about finance
bros, it's this, there's energythere, right, we get excited
(31:12):
and anybody we tell about it weget excited, and and they feel
that, right, you know so, you'll, significant other, trust me if
, if you really believe it, likeyou're telling them that you
believe it, they'll feel itright, all right.
Right, and vice versa.
If you don't, right, all right.
So here we go to spiritual, allright, manifesting together.
All right, set sharedintentions and visualize your
(31:34):
future.
This isn't just aboutdaydreaming, okay.
It's about consciously workingtowards your dreams together and
supporting each otherspiritually.
There you go.
How about that?
Speaker 2 (31:48):
That's enough said
how about that?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
The manifestation's
got to be there brother, yeah,
for sure man.
Because, the manifestation.
We always say manifestation isa spiritual aspect of something.
No-transcript, it's going tocome together.
Do you know how powerful it is?
And I'm going to mentionsomething I'm sorry, brother, I
didn't mention it to you todayand we're talking about
(32:19):
manifestation and this is whyI'm mentioning this, and some
people might have saw it onTikTok or whatever, and
unfortunately, this episode isprobably going to come out after
this date, but if you did it,kudos after this date, but if
you did it, kudos january 11th.
Today, it's a restart ofmanifestation and energy.
(32:40):
Really oh yes today that we'reuh, uh, recording this right.
January 11th, wow.
And I hope we people out therehad got their vision board out,
manifesting what they want,manifesting to make it happen.
And I'm just saying thatbecause if you manifest stuff
(33:01):
together, it doesn't have to bejanuary 11th level, it's just
this is how the stars lined up.
It so happened to be today, soon and so forth.
But yeah, at any time you cometogether and you're manifesting
together, can you imagine whatyou could possibly accomplish?
right, right and wouldn't thatmake you love that partner even
(33:25):
more yeah, most definitely, andI like that man.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
and look, if your
thing's not manifestation, then
replace manifestation withwhatever your thing is.
You could say fruition.
You could say speaking thingsinto existence.
You could say I'm believing Godfor something, whatever that is
, you can replace that word.
But essentially, when we saythat we're using it because it's
something that is well talkedabout out there, it's something
(33:50):
that most people can relate to,but replace it with whatever it
is that works for you.
Right?
You know I'm, I'm a, I'm a, I'ma God fearing man, I'm a
spiritual man.
You know, I read the word, youknow.
So I read the Bible and that'sthat's why I believe you know my
savior, jesus Christ.
That's my faith, that's, that'sthat's for me to go out.
And if your faith is thatdoorknob, if it gets you through
the day, then cool, that's cooltoo.
(34:11):
So, yeah, we not we notknocking nobody's belief.
We want everybody to go outthere and win With the tools
that they believe they can winwith and the belief that they
believe that they can win with.
All right, because we're alldifferent, we're all individuals
and we're all going to bedriven by something different
most times.
Okay, us here, finance bros,want to give you guys, like we
always say, give youfundamentals, encourage you to
(34:33):
go out there and learn what yougot to learn to do the things
that you want to essentially doin life and we love you we, we
do, man, we love you.
We and we give the love, yeah,and we put the love into we.
We love you our wealthians.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
We do, we really do
love you.
This is why we do this.
This is why we we decided to dothis season with this mental
and spiritual aspect of it, manthis is my favorite.
I love this.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I think you actually
had a lot more to say than me on
this.
I thought I was going to be thelong way.
Yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
I thought Anton he
always spoke about this.
How do we incorporate this?
And I think it just makes a lotof sense in the world.
Uh, just to understand how thatfinance and love does work
together.
And and just looking now forour wealthy and to who decide to
have partners, to be together,to stay together and to grow
together and build wealthtogether.
Yes, this is what.
(35:27):
This is why it's so importantthat we merge the two.
And and that that brings meright into the t-shirt, and the
t-shirt is going to have a first, it's going to have a question,
it's going to say yes, wereally thought on this, right
right, so take this one home oh,you're right.
It's going to say what is thewealthians formula for love good
question all right, so it'sgonna.
(35:50):
We give you the answer.
Answer match energy plus signmanifestation equals real love.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
I love it, brother,
and I want to emphasize on this
so they can get it on the wayhome.
Okay, that matched energy thatwe talk about, when you're
putting out that frequency andyou're putting out the things
that you, you're being thethings that we were being, the
things that we want to receiveout of this world, out of other
people, you know we're, we'rebeing.
We're being the love that we,that we want to have, we're
(36:23):
being the trustworthy personthat we hope to attract, we're
being the communicator that wewant to attract, we're being all
these things.
This energy will eventuallyattract to you.
This person will attract to youbecause we always get, get back
what we're putting out, right,all right.
And then boom, when you havethat connection, it it starts to
you start to communicate, youcome together and then, all of a
(36:45):
sudden, this, thismanifestation or or whatever it
is, that you believe, the, thedreams, the goals.
It's happening, it's happening,it's happening, it's adding up,
it's happening and it's becomingmore and more and more and
bigger and bigger and bigger,and you get more and more
conviction behind right and thenboom, that's the love.
That is what's on the otherside of the equal sign.
(37:08):
That is what happens on theother side of that communication
, on the other side of thattrust, on the other side of that
communication, on the otherside of that trust, on the other
side of that sitting down, thatpatience, on the other side of
the grace that we're giving thisperson, is the love that we're
essentially living with now andwe're able to get back because
(37:30):
the deposits were made early,often and consistently Right.
And love does have its peaksand valleys, just like life, but
it'll be a trending upwardscale, not trending down.
It'll be trending up because,while we have peaks and valleys
and every day can't be a goodday you always find yourself
(37:51):
just a little bit higher witheach other when you get over
that hump.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
And you know, know,
brother, you talking about this
real talk, I'm feeling it now.
You know, we have a matchenergy.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Oh yeah, absolutely,
brother, and we manifested this
yeah, we did a long time, likefive years ago, so we got that
real love to make this happen.
That's the, and I appreciatethat.
Brother, you too, man, I loveyou for this.
You'll be's the and Iappreciate that, bro.

This is what manifestation aswe grow and get better and bring

wealthy and looks like man thisis real love.
Speaker 3 (38:43):

We we made sure we put ourheart into it.
Really did we found the rightpeople man, did we find the
right people?
That really did us just it.
That put the love that we'retalking about right pulled it

Speaker 3 (39:50):
I mean, it was

Speaker 1 (39:52):
It was conversation
man look, we put a lot and we
hope you enjoy it.
More to come a lot of stuff upthere.
We want your support.
We want your uh you know, youwant us, we want you guys to be
a part of this movement, thiswealthy and movement, because
it's it's, it's the educationthat's going to bring us to the
(40:13):
next level.
It's the understanding, whatyou have to do day in, day out,
at your level, what you have todo getting up every day, that we
understand and tell you how tonavigate through that.
Yes, absolutely, that's goingto help you and we're going to

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Our website is, is
supreme man bro, I love it gets
100 hits a day, just for megoing on there, because I just
love looking at it seriously,bro, but it's, it's gonna, it's
gonna grow from here it's gonnagrow.
This is the exciting partthere's gonna be communities on
on this site, there's gonna beso many avenues that bring
people to the site, to, to, tofind whatever it is that they
(40:54):
are essentially looking for inpersonal goals and matters and,
of course, with finance.
Right, and you know the factthat we that so much abundance
came from the ideas that cametogether in this year, this year
that we've been putting it alltogether because we want it to
be perfect for you guys.
You know, and we did do this onthe tv show, right, we did have
(41:15):
the last of the season finale,for you know, on hhm was freedom
over fear, right, but we neverreally brought it to you guys on
the podcast tip.
So if you hadn't seen the tvshow, you never really heard
about this.
But fbn, we are bringing youthe brand with the website,
we're bringing you the brandfreedom over fear.
And when, when I was talkingabout this, mike, or we, we both
, were talking about this rightnow on the other side of that,
(41:37):
equal sign you know, what I'msaying Between the, the, the
matched energy plus themanifestation, equals love.
On the other side, that equalsign I kept hearing freedom over
fear.
Because, just like we said, onthe other side of that trust and
on the other side of that beingthat Communicator is the love
that we're looking for, becausewe're being the things that we
(41:58):
want back from from the thisworld, or that person, or
whatever.
It is right, it's it reminds meof freedom or fear, bro, really
does.
Because, like I keep alwayssaying, you know, people were
asking us what does this freedomover fear mean?
Like, what does it mean to youguys?
And it's, you know, we alwayssay that fear is that thing that
holds us back always we'retrying something new, but we're
(42:19):
scared to pick up the phone ifyou're in sales.
Maybe you're scared to pick upthe phone.
You got your own business.
Now you was picking up thephone.
Great for that, for that job,because we had to.
We felt the pressure to do it.
But now we want to do it forourselves and all of a sudden
that phone weighs a thousandpounds.
Well, on the other side of thatfear, on the other side of that
procrastination, is the freedomthat we're all seeking, freedom
(42:40):
to make choices yeah, andfreedom to do everything else we
talk about.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Investing, yes.
Going to get a new home yes.
All those different things.
I know you're scared Becauseguess what Nobody gave you.
From grade school, fromkindergarten on till now, nobody
decided to teach you this.
This is why you're listening toour podcast, this is why you're
a wealthy and because you'reworking towards that.
(43:07):
There you go, so that I get thefear, and it's a journey.
It's a journey, but on theother side is freedom.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
Yes, yes, just know
that, man brother.
Ooh, I could go on about that.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Look, look, look.
No, we got to give it to him,though we got to give it to him
Right, a very, very influentialperson.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
I once heard them say
that there are some people who
look at cost and there are somepeople who look at worth, right.
Some people look at somethinglike what's this gonna cost me,
right?
You want to start my ownbusiness?
Okay, what's it gonna cost,right?
Other people look at it like isit worth it?
It will be worth it right.
What's on the other side of allthese things that hold us back,
that freedom?
Because it's the thing that youlove, it's a thing that's in
your heart, things you reallywant to do with your life, it's
(43:56):
your dream, it's going to beworth it and that is the freedom
it's worth it, right?
You know I'm saying and, bro,we want may mike, our wealth is
