Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Brandon Acker
Influence, where I teach you howto succeed, accomplish your
dreams and develop multipleincome streams.
The reason I wanted to makethis is because I wanted to talk
about my journey as the CEO ofGoldshark Media and what
Goldshark Media is really about.
Goldshark Media is a mediacompany that is dedicated to
advertising yes, promotion,things like that but what it's
(00:22):
most important for is buildingthe American dream.
You see, what's important aboutGold Shark Media is that we're
going to be here for the longhaul.
So in 10 years, where do I seeGold Shark Media?
Well, gold Shark Media, I wantit to become somewhat close to
what Valuetainment?
Joe Rogan, a little bit of AlexJones in there.
I like the concept of thoseindividuals because they talk
(00:45):
about not just business or onething, but they tie everything
together and they tie the worldtogether, because truly, you
can't be a successful individualand you can't run a successful
business if you don't tie all ofthe things happening in the
world to your business, becausethe things in the world do
affect your business.
Some debate that it doesn't,but I have learned from
experience so far as just ayoung entrepreneur, from two
(01:07):
years experience, gold SharkMedia is now two years old.
It's the year 2025.
We started in 2023.
We started this company May31st or June 1st 2023.
And now here we are and we'vemade it two years.
We still have to make itthrough the tax season and go
through all of that, but goodthings have happened.
(01:27):
With Instagram, we've amassed agood following just 676
followers within one month ofactually posting content.
We just started to post contentlast month, in the month of
January of 2025.
We really just started postingcontent then and immediately
we've gained about 676 followersnow and rising.
(01:50):
It's even higher now thatyou're watching this and we're
getting about 50,000 viewersjust on Instagram every single
month, annually, according tothe analytics, as you can see on
the screen and on top of that,on YouTube we're also.
We've amassed 29,000subscribers 29,000 subscribers
and we are truly at a place ofcomplete awe, because we worked
(02:14):
really hard to get here, andwhen I say we, I say mostly.
You know me.
Most of the time, I was workingon this business by myself.
I was getting clients on my ownand sometimes I end up working
and doing most of the work bymyself.
Anyways, I learned to become amarketer because I was
interested in how useful andresourceful it could be to know
all of those things.
(02:34):
I was always intrigued bymarketing, because if you
understand business and how tomarket oneself and if you know
how to market other people, thenwouldn't it be really easy to
win in life?
And let me tell you, I thoughtpoorly, because, let me tell you
, I learned fast that throughstarting a business, it's
stressful and it's hard, butit's also the most worth it
(02:57):
experience I've ever had in mylife.
I've never felt more like I'mon this adventure, this voyage,
this journey, this importantjourney for self-discovery maybe
, but more so for innovation andindustrialism.
I feel as if being anentrepreneur coming from a
career in law enforcement, thatI have this ability to be free
(03:19):
to do anything I truly want todo, and so this is why I believe
in business.
This is why I believe everybodyshould aspire to learn business
, to learn the arts of business,psychology, finance, taxation,
things like that, real estate.
You need to learn all of thesethings because if you can learn
these different industries, youcan truly master the world.
Because what happens when youhave money from your business?
(03:41):
Let's say you develop abusiness that has pretty much an
infinite amount ofpossibilities.
You decide how much yourbusiness makes and earns every
single month, right?
You decide at the end of theday, because you're the CEO, you
don't get to do that at aregular job, right?
Being a business owner allowsyou to have this freedom, and
that was what opened my eyes toit.
One.
I was always interested inbusiness.
I always had a passion for it.
(04:02):
I was always prettyentrepreneurial my entire life.
I love business and okay, firstof all, I'm just one second.
Let me just like go off herebecause I can't do this tie.
I just I can't do the tie.
I don't want to wear it.
I think ties are just stupid.
I think they just are for I,just not for me.
It's just not for me, just no.
(04:23):
Oh, it's so much better.
You know what?
A little bit more of my style.
Here we're going to roll upthese sleeves because Brendan
Ecker just doesn't do this shit.
I don't do ties.
I don't like ties.
Ties are just lame.
Okay, they're lame.
I only wear ties at weddingswhen I have to, or at a block
tie event, when there's moneythere and people think it's
important.
(04:43):
But it's not.
But it's the only time I liketo wear a tie.
I'm a rebel, you see.
Okay, I like to think formyself, I like to do things on
my own accord.
Sorry, I'm struggling to rollup this sleeve here, but don't
worry, it'll be worth it.
The content in this episodewe're talking about the American
dream and why I startedpursuing it and why I felt it to
be an important task.
(05:04):
Okay, so being a business owneris a very satisfying thing.
Being a business owner allowsyou to have freedom and time in
your schedule to have time inyour life.
It allows you to be able tomake an uncapped amount of
income.
Okay, and I always say this inalmost every episode Hold on.
One of the main reasons I wantedto get into business is because
(05:25):
I spent most of my life insports.
I was always in sports, sinceabout three years old two and a
half, I think.
I was playing soccer and thenext thing I knew I was playing
basketball.
I was playing tennis.
The next thing I knew I wasplaying football and baseball.
I played baseball forever andthen eventually, powerlifting,
played football and baseball incollege, majored in criminal
justice.
Then I got bored with life.
(05:47):
Ok, so I wanted to go be a cop,became a police officer for a
short time.
Actually I'm still a cop.
I keep saying I talk as if I'mnot a police officer anymore
because one day I'm not going tobe a police officer anymore.
So it's funny how how we havethis situation where I have to
speak as if I'm not a policeofficer because I'm thinking in
terms of the future.
Right In 10 years I might notbe a police officer.
(06:10):
At some point in my life I'mnot going to be a police officer
.
That's why I say when I used tobe a police officer, but as of
the recording of this video, Iam still a police officer,
part-time, more by choice, justto free up my schedule so I can
run my businesses.
But just wanted to explain that.
So one of the main reasons Iwanted to start a business is
because I wanted freedom.
I learned that becoming apolice officer was great and it
was rewarding and I did meetreally talented and skilled
(06:33):
people and it was all fulfillingto a certain degree.
But at the same time, I felt asif I had very little freedom
and control over my life, and sobeing an entrepreneur allowed
me to do all of these things mywhole life.
I was kind of an entrepreneurEven in high school, I was
selling what we called Raidercards.
We were the Elmont Raiders, andso we would basically go house
(06:54):
door to door back when it was amore normal time and you'd
raffle Raider card tickets.
You'd sell raffle Raider cardtickets is what they were called
, and I sold the most.
I had the record for sellingthe most because one.
I had a good team with me, ofcourse, because I had, see, I
got everybody together who wasthe most motivated and I tried
to get them on my team and towork for us, and we combined
(07:16):
teams.
See, I was smart, I found thebest people and that was why I
was the best Raider cardsalesman.
But I digress.
The reason I loved business mywhole life is because it allows
you to make as much money as youwant to make and you can be in
control of the world.
Okay, you go your whole life inschool learning how to get a job
, but not how to create a job.
(07:37):
And again, I reiterate thisalmost in every single YouTube
episode I make.
But, it's true, you learn howto get a job, not how to create
a job.
You learn how to think like anemployee, not to think like an
employer.
Okay, you learn how to thinklike an employer, maybe, but you
also, for sure, never learn howto think like an investor.
(07:59):
Name me all the times in schoolwhether you went to a public
school, private school that youactually learned about real
estate, right?
Name me all the times that youlearned about this.
How to the differences betweenresidential, commercial,
industrial and things like thatall these different forms of
real estate.
When did you learn about thatin school?
When did you learn how toacquire cash flowing businesses
(08:21):
like laundromats or storagefacilities or all these boring
businesses, but they would makeyou a good 10k a month?
In school, how much did youreally learn?
How to start or how to buybusinesses, how to cash flow,
right?
How did you learn?
Did you ever learn about thebanking system, fractional
reserve banking?
Did you ever learn about 363sales, private equity?
(08:42):
Did you learn about any of this?
Software as a service, whichtoday making $30 million a year
annually?
Some of these businesses I knowfriends and other CEOs that own
software companies and they arejust making absolute killings.
I don't know how, but they are,and it's because they've
learned skills.
They've acquired skills tolearn how to code, to learn how
to run nodes, all of thesethings that live in 2025.
(09:04):
They've learned how tointegrate artificial
intelligence into their business.
And see, at Gold Shark Media,the reason we're going to live
in 10 years is because we areinvesting in research and
development.
So right now, as the CEO, Ihave a very limited amount of
capital and funds.
I have a limited amount ofresources, as every business
owner and entrepreneur does.
I have a limited amount ofresources, as every business
(09:25):
owner and entrepreneur does.
But right now we are in thebeginning stages.
See, we're only in year twostill, and we've made some money
.
We've built a good clientele,we've got over a dozen clients
and now we're just working onramping things up a little bit
faster.
Now we're thinking aboutinvesting in more marketing
agencies down the road.
We're thinking about investinga lot of our assets into real
estate.
We're thinking about investinga lot of our assets into XRP
(09:48):
ETFs, because obviously, xrpwill be replacing Bitcoin soon,
as we know, most likely based onwhat we know today.
So we're thinking in the futureGoldShark Media.
We're thinking about how tomake sure our clients can make
money later.
See, if Gold Shark Media wins,we believe in providing a profit
share for our clientele and Iguess you can call them our
(10:10):
shareholders in many ways, and Iguess I'd like to make that a
real thing at a later point,because some of the clients that
we've had so far have trulybeen the reason Gold Shark Media
has stayed alive.
I can't tell you how many timesI've, by the tip of my
fingernails, have been trying tokeep Gold Shark Media going,
and we are able to keep it goingbecause we can keep getting new
clients.
So if you're looking to growyour business, go to
(10:33):
wwwgoldsharkmediacom and orderour lowest plan offer for $200.
And you'll get 500 DMs a month.
Plus, we'll also manage yoursocial media.
We'll do all of that good stuff, advertising promo.
We'll sponsor you on our oldGold Shark Media account or our
new Gold Shark Media account,and we will also make sure that
you're getting all the brandawareness that you need as a
(10:54):
business to make sure that yousucceed.
And that's what we are allabout.
We're about building theAmerican dream.
We know that there's othermarketing agencies out there
just like us.
We know that there's othermarketing agencies out there
just like us.
We know that anybody can dothis.
We know that any team you cango and work with any team you
want.
But the reason I would want towork with Gold Shark Media is
because you're not just workingwith me, brendan Scott Ecker,
(11:15):
who I take my reputation veryseriously.
I'll be working directly withyou, one-on-one, but also you'll
be working with a team of thebest marketers, the best team of
highly talented.
What do you want to call it?
Freelancers, you could callthem employees, you could call
them agents, whatever, but GoldShark Media allows you, as a
(11:36):
business owner, to have a lotmore freedom than you might've
already had.
Okay, so again, we know thatyou can work with anybody else.
We know that marketing agenciesare expensive, but guess what?
Plain and simple, your businessneeds marketing and at some
point along the way, you need todouble down on marketing, or
triple down on it even, becausethe more eyeballs that see your
product, the more people thatcan potentially buy your product
, and that is what puts youahead of the race.
(11:58):
How many people are seeing yourproduct every single day?
Are you running organic socialmedia content?
That's getting your brand nameout, your brand word out, all of
these things.
What's your LinkedIn profilelook like?
Would it be nice if you couldhave an agency managing your
LinkedIn, your X, your Facebook,all of your social media, and
not just managing content andposting stuff, but actually
(12:20):
going to get you clients sending500 DMs a day actually staying
in the DMs.
I can tell you, as a businessowner, trying to hire
appointment setters was such apain because some of them would
work, some of them didn't.
But you know what I enjoyed theidea of being able to provide
this service for otherbusinesses, because I know I can
get the job done right.
I know how to properly conductappointment setting in a way
(12:43):
that makes sense, that doesn'tirritate clients, that doesn't
rely fully on automation butalso allows automation to do its
magic so it can get you as manyclients as possible and allow
you to free up as much time aspossible at the same time.
Okay, so at the end of the day,when you work with Gold Shark
Media, you're investing in ateam yes, just like any other
(13:03):
agency, but we're going to beholding your hand one-on-one.
You're investing in me.
You're investing in success.
You're investing in positioningyourself for the long term.
Okay, that's the reason for ourhigher ticket plans now.
So if you want to invest in ourhigher ticket plans, then we're
going to pump more of thatmoney you give us into
advertising so we can manage thefunds, we could manage DM
outreach, we could managee-learning creation.
(13:26):
All of these create.
Just basically, we want to beyour creative number twos.
We want to be your creativeside by side.
We want to be your, we want tobe your creative partners in
this growth of business thatwill eventually change your life
if you can do this correctly.
Business is a powerful way tomake money and it's not worth
giving up on, because if yougive up on your business, then
(13:46):
you got to go back to a job youhate, right?
So you can't give up.
You just need to invest in moremarketing, and that's where
Gold Shark Media comes in.
That's what I love about whatwe do here at Gold Shark Media
and being two years intobusiness and again struggling to
keep the doors open.
From time to time, we'vestruggled to be down on our luck
(14:07):
and we've had losses, but youknow what?
Now we are in a position ofcomplete power and we are in a
position of leadership becausewe promote the 1%, we promote
the billionaire class, wepromote those who want to rise
to higher echelons of success,and not just life, but also
abundance, right, balance.
(14:27):
Okay, that's what it's allabout.
That is real success.
And so to me, just again, beingsomebody who served in law
enforcement, I know what it'slike to be on really intense
calls and have to handle justred light situations where it's
like, oh shit, okay, time tolock it up, time to make sure
we're safe here, time to makesure things get done Okay.
(14:48):
I know what it's like to be ina dangerous position.
I know what it's like to go toa job you might not enjoy as
much as everybody else aroundyou, so you don't do as well as
everybody else around you.
I know what all of this is likeand it's the reason I started
Gold Shark Media.
Gold Shark Media.
Gold Shark Media is aboutbuilding the American dream for
entrepreneurs and motivatedindividuals who want to help
(15:08):
build not just themselves, notjust their families, but also
America, the United States.
There's so much to say aboutthis country where we live and
what we've developed and theroots and the DNA of America.
And the reason I love businessis because I believe in America
and I believe in Americanbusiness, because American
(15:28):
business when American businessis doing well, everything else
seems to be doing well, ifbusinesses are able to be
started, and if businesses areable to thrive and make more
money to acquire more clients,then businesses can go on to
live legends but also feed theirfamilies.
Most important, you know,businesses, when they are
(15:49):
successful, can allowindividuals to rise to their
greatest selves.
Everybody's focused on going toa job and we think that that's
what life is all about.
And that isn't what life is allabout.
Life is not all about going to ajob.
Life is a beautiful mystery.
Life is full of interestingconcepts, interesting ideas,
opportunities and voyages,quests, things we never learned,
(16:13):
hidden truths.
There's so many places thathave never been explored, most
of the ocean.
We've never even found Atlantisyet.
Supposedly we have, supposedlywe haven't.
Who knows?
But why not explore that deeper?
Well, you can't, because youdon't have enough money, because
you're not making enough moneyin your business A or B, your
(16:35):
job isn't paying you enoughmoney, so therefore, you can
barely afford to pay the bills.
And then, nonetheless, you gotto feed your family.
And now you want to talk aboutbuilding your dreams.
Well, and then, nonetheless,you've got to feed your family,
and now you want to talk aboutbuilding your dreams.
Well, this is risky.
And this is where the questioncomes in Is it worth it?
Are you ready to actually takethe step, to move to the next
level?
Do you want to join the highestranks of entrepreneurs and do
(16:56):
you want to not just do that?
You know, it's not about beingthe highest ranking entrepreneur
.
It's about being the highestranking you as an individual.
It's about being the highestranking example for others, for
humanity, for what we are ableto achieve if we reach our
highest potential and if we putin the work and we take the
(17:18):
risks and if we dare to riskeven so.
This is what Gold Shark Mediais all about.
This is what we live for.
This is what I live for.
I believe in the American dreamand this is why I started Gold
Shark Media.
I know that there are thousandsand thousands of marketing
agencies.
I know that anybody can go anddo this.
I know you could work withanybody you want, and I'm not
(17:40):
ignorant to this.
I care about finding clientswho want to work with me, who
want to work with the best.
I want to work with clients whowant to have a business that
lasts longer than two years.
I want to work with businesseswho have real financial gain and
potential.
I like working.
(18:01):
For example, if you're a realestate agent or a real estate
broker, we like to work with you.
If you're an engineer and aninnovator, we would love to work
with you.
If you are a public figure, apersonality, we'd love to work
with you.
Influencer, we'd love to workwith you.
We can turn you into anaffiliate or we can be your
(18:21):
affiliate One of the two, maybemaybe both, if you're interested
.
At the end of the day, this iswhat it's all about.
This is the american dream.
We work with the best.
We work with ai companies.
We work with software companiesbecause we understand that this
is the future.
We work with crypto, withblockchain companies,
cryptocurrency companies.
We want to live on the edgebecause we're ready for
(18:44):
industrialism and innovation.
We're ready to achieve whatmany believe is impossible, but
with focus and vision, withfaith in the concept and the
process, imagine what can beachieved with no limits, with no
caps on what you can make, withno more policies and employee
(19:08):
blah, blah, blah, blah.
No, hire a marketing agency andwe will just make you go viral.
We will just get you all yourclients, one-time investment and
you're good to go.
Make it into a monthly thing,whatever, we'll negotiate it.
It's all customizable.
Look on our website,wwwgoldsharkmediacom, and you'll
see.
And also you can, of course,buy merch.
(19:29):
We sell coffee mugs, we sellhats, we sell clothing, we sell
all that kind of cool stuff.
And then, right now also, ifyou do want to order anything
from the apextechnologystorecomI did just buy that domain we're
building up a shopify store forthat, so be sure to dm me and
I'll get you a pre-order for oneof our items.
(19:51):
So be sure to do that.
Um for sure you'll love it.
So why is it that I'm talking toyou?
Why is it that I'm talking tothis camera in this empty room,
feeling like a weirdo?
But this is what people do.
People watch videos of peoplelike me talking to you, because
this is the future.
Unfortunately, we all live onour phones and technology this
(20:15):
device that you're holding inyour hand or this device that
you're looking at, whether it beyour laptop, a tablet, whatever
is controlling you.
So the truth is, do you wanttechnology to control you or do
you want to control technology?
You want to go into the realmsof AI?
We'll help you do that.
Gold Shark Media works with thefuture, and that's what I want
(20:36):
to be a part of.
That's why I started Gold SharkMedia.
It's not just about startingbusinesses and making a lot of
money.
It's about proving something toyourself and that's why I
wanted to do this.
Being a police officer is hardand it is, you know.
It motivated me to do more inlife.
I felt like I was called toachieve something more.
I wrote Beyond the Beat how IMade my Door, my Office.
(20:58):
You can look at both of thebooks right here.
Be sure to buy them on Amazon,by the way, not too expensive
for you, or you can get thee-books really cheap.
I think you can get the e-bookon Kindle for like 99 cents.
So be sure to do that.
But my books, I wrote thosebecause I felt like I was called
to do it.
You know, whether my books weregood, bad, I don't really care.
(21:20):
You know I haven't gotten a lotof reviews on my books yet
because, honestly, I'm more ofan entrepreneur who just tries
new things.
I didn't even really think todo a book launch and all of this
stuff.
I didn't know what I was doing.
I launched the book on mybirthday, september 7th, and
essentially that was my plan.
That was the strategy Launchthe book on my birthday, and so
(21:45):
I never did any kind of booklaunch, anything like that, and
so now I don't really have a lotof reviews on it.
I'm still working on this stuff.
I'm just.
You know, I have plans for howto get the reviews and whatnot,
but right now, gold Shark Media.
You know, I was inspired to doall of this, to write the books,
to start the marketing agency,to start the YouTube channel, to
do all of this to buy thismicrophone and to talk to you
(22:05):
about life and business, to talkto the lighting that's shining
at me right now, everythingyou're seeing, the stand that's
holding my phone up that you'rewatching right now.
That's allowing me to talk toyou.
I paid for all of this.
I paid for this with a creditcard.
I didn't have money, you know,because I was working as a
(22:26):
police officer and I waspart-time and again, I'm part.
I was part-time by choice, youknow.
Some people might say that Iwas part-time.
Oh, because I wasn't goodenough as a cop and couldn't
hack it.
It's like, not necessarily Ijust.
I like more free time, I wantto.
I like business, I like I'vebeen talking about for the last
25 minutes.
I like business.
I like entrepreneurship.
(22:46):
This is what I'm all about.
I like to study new ways ofmaking money.
I like to study everybody'sjourney.
Something that equalizeseverybody is being an
entrepreneur.
Interestingly enough, anythingcan be accomplished if you truly
believe in yourself, and youcan never forget that.
If you really want it badenough, all you've got to do is
chase it.
You've just got to believe inyourself.
You got to believe in thevision and you got to not listen
(23:08):
to everybody else.
Everybody else is going to tellyou that you can't do it.
They're going to tell you whyit won't work.
They're going to tell you whyit's foolish.
They're going to tell you whyyou're an idiot.
They're going to tell you whyit just makes no sense.
You should try this.
You should do that, get a job,be sensible.
You don't know what you'retalking about.
You don't even know about this.
Everybody's going to have alabel for you, but fuck them, be
(23:28):
yourself.
Be yourself.
Don't ever let anybody tell youwho you are.
Don't ever let anybody tell youthat you can't do something.
You can do whatever you want.
This is America.
We're Americans, not Americans.
We're Americans.
Anything is possible in thiscountry.
Never forget it.
Don't let any teacher tell youthat nothing is achievable.
(23:49):
If you want it, if you got thevision, if you got the stuff, if
you got the might, if you gotthe skills, then you can capture
everything that you want.
And it only takes focus, and itonly takes execution and time
and eventually you will be thebest.
You'll be the master.
Because you took time to learn,you took time to educate
yourself, you failed enough towhere you succeeded eventually,
(24:13):
and then now you teach thesubject.
Now people ask you.
Now people respect you and loveyou.
When at first, when you wereonly getting 25 views on YouTube
, they hated you, but now theylove you.
Look at how it works.
When you just stay tough andyou don't fucking quit, stay
strong, nothing can defeat you.
Gold Shark Media is a story ofstrength.
(24:37):
What I want our mission to be isto build the American dream.
I keep saying it over and overbecause I want to iterate that
we are the agency who believesin the American dream.
You give us a large investment.
You're getting a partner.
This is a growth partnership.
If you work with Gold SharkMedia, we want to be with you
for the long haul, through thegood times and the bad times,
because our goal is to make yourbusiness more wealthy.
(25:00):
Marketing agencies that's whatwe're supposed to do.
We're supposed to put moneyinto your pocket that you gave
us first, okay.
So we want to make sure that,as a marketing agency, you come
out of this deal making moremoney.
Okay, our goal as a marketingagency is to push you up to the
next level.
It's to push you up to thepoint of financial freedom and
independence so you can startmaking 10K, 20k, 30k a month in
(25:22):
your business.
So that's what we do at GoldShark Media.
That's what I stand for.
Brennan Scott Ecker.
I want prosperity, I wantgreatness.
I want people to achieve whatthey never thought possible, and
that's what I'm all about.
I'm all about doing things thatmost say is crazy.
I'm all about taking risks.
(25:43):
I'm all about contrarian views,taking the road less traveled
by.
See, I never want to look likeeverybody else in the room had
to go to a dinner not too longago.
This is actually the dressshirt I wore to an event and I
said no, I want to wear allblack because I don't want to
look the same as anybody.
I know most people aren't goingto wear all black, so I'm going
(26:10):
to wear all black Because if,if anybody does, it'll be like a
very small amount of people.
And guess what?
I saw like nobody, zero peoplewho wore all black.
Just a point I like to standout and be different.
I never want to be just likeeverybody else never.
And you know, I was okay withbeing wrong and I still am to
this day.
And that's again what brings meback to why I keep going with
Gold Shark Media.
Why do I keep building GoldShark Media, why do I even keep
(26:33):
trying, even if we're not makingclients for a long period of
time that's happened when peoplejust don't have money.
They really don't.
You know, and the internetmight tell you, people have
money, but really a lot ofpeople don't have money.
People are struggling.
Most of your clientele, eventhe rich, which is most of our
clientele real estate agentsagain, e-commerce companies
making millions a year.
Guess what?
Some of these companies makingmillions a year.
(26:54):
You wouldn't believe what kindof debt they're in.
You wouldn't believe how muchmoney they actually owe back in
taxes.
You wouldn't believe how muchmoney some of these companies
are actually withholding fromtheir clients and not putting it
into advertising or whatever itmight be, you wouldn't fucking
believe it, and so everything isjust a game and that's
(27:17):
something you need to understandand I understood it at a
certain point.
I was sitting in my patrol carone day and I'm just like this
is back when I was full-time copand I just I'm like man, I hate
this.
You know, like I love thisbadge and I love the people I
work with, I love the people Iserve in this community, but I
(27:38):
hate this fucking job.
I hate it.
Like I hated it and there gotat one point I liked it, at
point I was all about being acop.
But there came a day where Ijust said I hate this job.
Like every time a call wouldcome over the radio, I was done,
I didn't want it.
Something happened to me where Iwanted more, and not out of
(28:01):
selfish reasons, not because Iwanted to be comfortable.
I wanted to achieve more in mylife.
I wanted to be what I knew Icould become.
If I pushed myself harder, if Itried new things, if I just
gave up and let go of whatsociety tells me I need to do.
Keep a job, do it for 30 years,eventually get your pension.
(28:23):
Eventually, you'll have a goodlife.
Eventually you'll have a goodlife.
Eventually you'll have a goodretirement.
Fuck that.
Winners don't think that way.
Winners don't let societydeclare, declare their future.
Winners don't do that.
Winners take what they want.
Winners don't fuck around.
Winners just fucking go.
(28:43):
Winners just fucking build.
We innovate, we rock it, wecreate the narrative, we create
the future, because that is whatentrepreneurship is.
That is what business andcapitalism is.
It's about being creative.
It's about setting standardsand raising the bar higher.
Gold Shark Media stands forthis.
(29:07):
Envision gold, the Americandream.
Build it.
Build it and they will come.
There is nothing you can'tachieve if you truly believe in
the vision, if you truly believein the cause, the purpose.
Many of the greatest thingsthat you've ever seen happen in
(29:28):
your lifetime, some of thegreatest achievements, they were
all accomplished and achievedby those who were called crazy,
who were once ignored, who wereonce overlooked, underestimated,
and then eventually look who'son top?
It's the ones that you doubt.
(29:50):
It's the ones you don't thinkare going to be there.
It's the ones who go throughall the hell.
All the people who loseeverything eventually become the
ones who declare the future.
Do you understand?
If you want something badenough.
You take it.
God gave you a vision and theability to achieve anything you
(30:13):
want.
Don't let anybody tell you youcan't Take it.
At the end of the day, thisrequires wisdom, this requires
focus, it requires taking action.
It requires you to believe inyourself, but also to believe in
something more than yourself,something higher, to believe
that you do have a purpose onearth, that you're not just here
(30:35):
by accident, that you're notjust here because of chemistry
and biology and human anatomyand physiology and all these
scientific reasons.
We're here because of such alarger purpose.
The day that we realize thiscollectively as humanity is the
day we can become so much more.
We can become transcendent,fifth dimensional, sixth
(31:01):
dimensional.
Who knows what can be possible?
Everybody says that time travelis impossible.
My whole life I've heard howtime travel is so impossible.
But you don't even know thisworld that you live in.
You don't even know how manytravelers are walking amongst
you, how many people havealready seen the future and are
just visiting.
You have no idea.
(31:21):
You'd be shocked.
So all I know is time is of theessence.
We only have so much time tobuild on our goals, to build the
things we want, and to neverstop innovating until the day we
breathe our last breath.
(31:42):
So I, brendan Scott Ecker, I'mmaking this today because I want
this to be the video I playwhen I'm rich, when I'm wealthy
to my standards, to my level ofwealth.
I'm not going to give you mynet worth yet.
All I know is it's not bigenough to where it's important
to disclose.
But we're getting there and Ican say it's been a magical
(32:02):
experience, it's been wild, it'sbeen a say it's been a magical
experience, it's been wild, it'sbeen a, it's been a.
What a ride.
You know I've, I've lost so much, I failed so much, but, man, I
have learned so much.
You cannot defeat me at thispoint.
I'm so unemployable but, likein a good way.
I'm unemployable in a good way,to the extent that, you know, I
(32:25):
can truly make money on my ownanywhere.
I'll never go hungry.
I'll never go hungry, I'llnever go without a meal.
And it's not because I haveenough money or anything like
that, or I'm a millionaire, Imean, it's not just because of
that, it's because I have somuch more in my life.
I have the understanding of howto win.
You see, once you understandhow to win, then you can truly
(32:46):
just you understand how to win,then you can truly just keep on
losing and be fine with it untilyou win, because this is the
art of winning.
You see that I'm making a pointhere.
If you want to win, then youneed to be okay with losing
again and again and again andagain, and again and again and
again, and then you keep losingagain and again and again, and
(33:08):
then things get really hard inlife.
Everybody tells you to quit.
They call you a fool, they tellyou maybe you should do
something else, or maybe you'renot working hard enough at it
this, this, this, this and thatYou're not, you're a failure.
Everything else they might sayexcept those words.
But they think it and they feelit and you know it and you
sense it, but you keep going.
(33:29):
For some reason, something,this kind of voice, tells you
keep going, keep going, keepgoing.
This is important.
Don't quit.
Fight, fight, fight, fight,fight.
And this has been my whole life.
My whole life has been a fight.
I feel my entire life.
I have been motivated not tojust succeed or to do any of
these superficial things,because I wanted to be the very
(33:52):
best at anything I truly wantedto be great at.
I wanted to be the best at it,and not out of arrogance, not to
be you know, not to stomp onother people or step on other
people's necks, not for power,none of that.
I wanted it for myself, toprove to myself that I could
achieve anything, and so mywhole life until I'm dead might
(34:17):
always be a failure.
You know, compared based onwhat the masses consider success
.
Right, the masses see successas fast cars, beautiful homes
worth tens of millions ofdollars, beautiful wife, 10
children you know all thesethings beautiful clothes,
materialistic stuff, okay, andthat is never what I've always.
(34:40):
That's just never what I'veconsidered success.
What I consider success istruly to be able to be free, to
have time and abundance, to behappy to smile, to be able to
smile, to be relieved, to not,you know, to have peace of mind,
to be able to do this what youand I are doing right now.
(35:01):
You know I'm so lucky to beable to make this video.
The way I see life.
I'm lucky.
You know, a friend of minefucking house burned down.
It's like why?
Why does this stuff happen?
It's like here I am making aYouTube video and an ex's house
(35:22):
burns down and it's just fuckingtragic.
And you know, I understand onanother level that one day that
will probably be me.
Maybe it won't be a houseburning down, but it'll be some
other tragedy.
Maybe it'll be a child dying.
Fucking God forbid For anybody.
I don't wish the death by theway of anybody on any human
being, and I would never.
(35:44):
I just we live in a world whereyou never know what's going to
happen.
The unpredictable twists of fatewill always pull you in
different directions, but youhave to stay focused and remain
powerful, in the sense that youcannot quit.
You know, again we go back tohow you're going to fail again
and again, and again and you'regoing to lose again and again,
(36:07):
and again, and to the point offeeling like a loser.
It will almost change youridentity.
You'll feel like one.
But you have to reframe andrewire all the time, constantly
and remember and take a stepback.
This could be worse.
I could be in jail tonight.
This could be worse.
I could be in a hospital bedright now, not able to get out,
(36:30):
not able to afford it.
Even this could be worse.
My wife and I can't have kids.
This could be worse.
I could be dying in a few kids.
This could be worse.
I could be dying in a fewminutes.
This could be worse.
I could be old this could beworse.
I could be young this could beworse.
This could be worse.
This could be worse.
Life could always be worse, yousee.
(36:57):
And so once you understand thisand you understand that the art
of life and winning is to justkeep going and to never quit,
once you understand that theformula to success is to fail
often and to just learn fromyour failures, to constantly
better yourself, to become asponge of information and
knowledge, once you understandthis and you become educated,
once you become stoic, once youbecome focused on a goal and a
(37:17):
dream and an objective biggerthan yourself, once you realize
your purpose and your own legacy, then you're unstoppable.
Nothing is going to ever takeyou down.
So, ladies and gentlemen, goldShark Media is here for the long
(37:40):
haul.
I don't know what's going tohappen at the end of this, as
Alex Jones says, but you know,if it's a fight they want, it's
a fight, they'll get.
You know.
At the end of the day, theuniverse is here for the taking.
Anything you want to achieve,you can achieve, and we've said
this repetitively now in thisepisode.
(38:02):
So I wanted to make this justbecause, for anybody out there
who's an entrepreneur trying tobuild something of their own, if
you're trying to leave your job, if you're trying to do
something that you didn't reallythink you could do, you're
trying to lose weight, whateverit might be that you didn't
really think you could do right,you're trying to lose weight,
whatever it might be, stick toit, just don't give up.
I've played sports my wholelife.
(38:25):
I've been to college, got mydegree, became a police officer,
wrote two books, published them.
I'm on Amazon.
Support the cause, support theshow.
Started a YouTube channel, grewit to 28,000 subscribers,
because by the time I reach amillion subscribers, I would
(38:45):
assume by that point, then weshould have a well over enough
passive income for us with ourbusinesses, with Gold Shark
Media and everything we've builtto help other corporations and
brands, and hopefully by thenwe'll have other brands
partnering with us.
And whatever the date is today,perhaps things will be better,
(39:07):
perhaps things will be worse,but just never give up on a goal
.
Never give up on your dreams.
You can truly do anything.
So go start that business.
Spend too much money, do theopposite of what society tells
you to do.
Don't listen to anybody.
Honestly, don't listen toanybody who isn't where you want
to be.
So if you want to be amillionaire, then listen to
(39:31):
millionaires.
If you want to be a baker, thenyou should go spend time with
the baker.
If you want to go be a policeofficer, you should go spend
time with the baker.
If you want to go be a policeofficer, you should go be a
police officer.
If you want to work withanimals, you should work with
animals.
Do what you love, do what you'repassionate about.
You know there's this argumentof that you should do what
(39:52):
you're passionate about.
Some agree and some disagree.
I believe that there should bea balance.
You shouldn't necessarily justdo whatever you want and do
whatever you love, becausesometimes that might not make
you the most money you need tofind.
You need to turn your work intopassion.
You need to find the passion inyour work.
You need to find the passion ineverything you do.
Everything is worth beingpassionate about.
(40:14):
We don't have a lot of time hereon earth.
We don't have a lot of time toleave our mark in the history
books.
We don't have a lot of timehere on earth.
We don't have a lot of time toleave our mark in the history
books.
We don't have a lot of time tobe legendary.
We don't have a lot of time tochange the world.
We don't have a lot of time tosave our families, to be the
first millionaires in ourfamilies.
We don't have a lot of time.
You must be an entrepreneur, youmust be entrepreneurial.
(40:36):
As I sit here today, as a ayoung, 26 year old kid, I look
at the world around me and Ijust see how right I am every
day.
And it's not because, you know,I'm trying to be arrogant, but
it's more because, wow, I cansee the power of knowledge and
the power of education, thepower of educating oneself and
reading and, you know, payingattention to what's going on in
(40:58):
the world around you, because ifyou don't, you're going to be a
victim to the changes thathappen by people like me.
You know, and typically much,you know, these people in power
are much, much, much, much, much, much worse than me.
You know, as I said, the mostimportant things in my life are
prosperity, success for myfamily, but also for others,
(41:19):
because I believe, I have atheory that if everybody has a
successful business.
That means more jobs are created, and if more jobs are created,
more people are working, thenwhen more people are working,
they can make more money, thusallowing them to eventually
start businesses later, and thusthe cycle of capitalism
continues and proves to besuccessful, versus communism and
(41:39):
socialism, where you get theserations and you're only given
this and this and everybody hasthe same except the government,
except those in power andoligarchy.
So, whatever you believe interms of government, what I
believe as a man is that we mustbe free and independent Health,
wealth, love, happiness,freedom, time to do what we want
(42:01):
.
We only have so much timebefore we all die Eventually.
Maybe technology will changethat, maybe AI will eventually
allow us to live forever, maybeNeuralink and Elon Musk's
companies and nanotechnologywill allow us to live to 200 and
300 years, but at some point wedo die as human beings, or the
soul dies at least, and goessomewhere else.
(42:22):
Perhaps the soul can bemanipulated, perhaps the DNA can
be manipulated, dark matter andall of these things, but you
know, there's just a realmetaphysical fact and universal
fact that human beings, we go tonew levels and there are so
many dimensions for us to travel, and this is just such a small
(42:44):
world that we live in.
A tiny little flake of dust iswhat planet Earth is.
All of this, everything you seearound you, the madness, the
chaos, the complications, theemotions, makes one wonder.
Does it even matter?
Yes, because we're all in thistogether and there's so much
more to learn, to understandwhere we came from.
(43:05):
We have only just begun to liveas human beings.
So this was my rant, brendanScott Ecker.
I believe that, as Americans,business needs to be prioritized
again.
I believe if business is made apriority, then America can
truly succeed and reach itshighest potentials.
(43:25):
And so, with that being said,guys, stay prudent, stay
powerful, stay wealthy.
Never forget you are anythingthat you say you are.
What you want to become Dependssolely on the action that you
will take.
If you want it bad enough, thenyou will achieve it and you
will find a way.
(43:46):
You will not make excuses.
You won't do your best.
You'll do what is required.
So don't give up.
Stay focused, keep fighting,keep breathing until you breathe
your last breath.
You never give up.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Brandon Acker
Influence, where I teach you howto succeed, accomplish your
dreams and develop multipleincome streams.
The reason I wanted to makethis is because I wanted to talk
about my journey as the CEO ofGoldshark Media and what
Goldshark Media is really about.
Goldshark Media is a mediacompany that is dedicated to
advertising yes, promotion,things like that but what it's
(00:22):
most important for is buildingthe American dream.
You see, what's important aboutGold Shark Media is that we're
going to be here for the longhaul.
So in 10 years, where do I seeGold Shark Media?
Well, gold Shark Media, I wantit to become somewhat close to
what Valuetainment?
Joe Rogan, a little bit of AlexJones in there.
I like the concept of thoseindividuals because they talk
(00:45):
about not just business or onething, but they tie everything
together and they tie the worldtogether, because truly, you
can't be a successful individualand you can't run a successful
business if you don't tie all ofthe things happening in the
world to your business, becausethe things in the world do
affect your business.
Some debate that it doesn't,but I have learned from
experience so far as just ayoung entrepreneur, from two
(01:07):
years experience, gold SharkMedia is now two years old.
It's the year 2025.
We started in 2023.
We started this company May31st or June 1st 2023.
And now here we are and we'vemade it two years.
We still have to make itthrough the tax season and go
through all of that, but goodthings have happened.
(01:27):
With Instagram, we've amassed agood following just 676
followers within one month ofactually posting content.
We just started to post contentlast month, in the month of
January of 2025.
We really just started postingcontent then and immediately
we've gained about 676 followersnow and rising.
(01:50):
It's even higher now thatyou're watching this and we're
getting about 50,000 viewersjust on Instagram every single
month, annually, according tothe analytics, as you can see on
the screen and on top of that,on YouTube we're also.
We've amassed 29,000subscribers 29,000 subscribers
and we are truly at a place ofcomplete awe, because we worked
(02:14):
really hard to get here, andwhen I say we, I say mostly.
You know me.
Most of the time, I was workingon this business by myself.
I was getting clients on my ownand sometimes I end up working
and doing most of the work bymyself.
Anyways, I learned to become amarketer because I was
interested in how useful andresourceful it could be to know
all of those things.
(02:34):
I was always intrigued bymarketing, because if you
understand business and how tomarket oneself and if you know
how to market other people, thenwouldn't it be really easy to
win in life?
And let me tell you, I thoughtpoorly, because, let me tell you
, I learned fast that throughstarting a business, it's
stressful and it's hard, butit's also the most worth it
(02:57):
experience I've ever had in mylife.
I've never felt more like I'mon this adventure, this voyage,
this journey, this importantjourney for self-discovery maybe
, but more so for innovation andindustrialism.
I feel as if being anentrepreneur coming from a
career in law enforcement, thatI have this ability to be free
(03:19):
to do anything I truly want todo, and so this is why I believe
in business.
This is why I believe everybodyshould aspire to learn business
, to learn the arts of business,psychology, finance, taxation,
things like that, real estate.
You need to learn all of thesethings because if you can learn
these different industries, youcan truly master the world.
Because what happens when youhave money from your business?
(03:41):
Let's say you develop abusiness that has pretty much an
infinite amount ofpossibilities.
You decide how much yourbusiness makes and earns every
single month, right?
You decide at the end of theday, because you're the CEO, you
don't get to do that at aregular job, right?
Being a business owner allowsyou to have this freedom, and
that was what opened my eyes toit.
One.
I was always interested inbusiness.
I always had a passion for it.
(04:02):
I was always prettyentrepreneurial my entire life.
I love business and okay, firstof all, I'm just one second.
Let me just like go off herebecause I can't do this tie.
I just I can't do the tie.
I don't want to wear it.
I think ties are just stupid.
I think they just are for I,just not for me.
It's just not for me, just no.
(04:23):
Oh, it's so much better.
You know what?
A little bit more of my style.
Here we're going to roll upthese sleeves because Brendan
Ecker just doesn't do this shit.
I don't do ties.
I don't like ties.
Ties are just lame.
Okay, they're lame.
I only wear ties at weddingswhen I have to, or at a block
tie event, when there's moneythere and people think it's
important.
(04:43):
But it's not.
But it's the only time I liketo wear a tie.
I'm a rebel, you see.
Okay, I like to think formyself, I like to do things on
my own accord.
Sorry, I'm struggling to rollup this sleeve here, but don't
worry, it'll be worth it.
The content in this episodewe're talking about the American
dream and why I startedpursuing it and why I felt it to
be an important task.
(05:04):
Okay, so being a business owneris a very satisfying thing.
Being a business owner allowsyou to have freedom and time in
your schedule to have time inyour life.
It allows you to be able tomake an uncapped amount of
income.
Okay, and I always say this inalmost every episode Hold on.
One of the main reasons I wantedto get into business is because
(05:25):
I spent most of my life insports.
I was always in sports, sinceabout three years old two and a
half, I think.
I was playing soccer and thenext thing I knew I was playing
basketball.
I was playing tennis.
The next thing I knew I wasplaying football and baseball.
I played baseball forever andthen eventually, powerlifting,
played football and baseball incollege, majored in criminal
justice.
Then I got bored with life.
(05:47):
Ok, so I wanted to go be a cop,became a police officer for a
short time.
Actually I'm still a cop.
I keep saying I talk as if I'mnot a police officer anymore
because one day I'm not going tobe a police officer anymore.
So it's funny how how we havethis situation where I have to
speak as if I'm not a policeofficer because I'm thinking in
terms of the future.
Right In 10 years I might notbe a police officer.
(06:10):
At some point in my life I'mnot going to be a police officer
.
That's why I say when I used tobe a police officer, but as of
the recording of this video, Iam still a police officer,
part-time, more by choice, justto free up my schedule so I can
run my businesses.
But just wanted to explain that.
So one of the main reasons Iwanted to start a business is
because I wanted freedom.
I learned that becoming apolice officer was great and it
was rewarding and I did meetreally talented and skilled
(06:33):
people and it was all fulfillingto a certain degree.
But at the same time, I felt asif I had very little freedom
and control over my life, and sobeing an entrepreneur allowed
me to do all of these things mywhole life.
I was kind of an entrepreneurEven in high school, I was
selling what we called Raidercards.
We were the Elmont Raiders, andso we would basically go house
(06:54):
door to door back when it was amore normal time and you'd
raffle Raider card tickets.
You'd sell raffle Raider cardtickets is what they were called
, and I sold the most.
I had the record for sellingthe most because one.
I had a good team with me, ofcourse, because I had, see, I
got everybody together who wasthe most motivated and I tried
to get them on my team and towork for us, and we combined
(07:16):
teams.
See, I was smart, I found thebest people and that was why I
was the best Raider cardsalesman.
But I digress.
The reason I loved business mywhole life is because it allows
you to make as much money as youwant to make and you can be in
control of the world.
Okay, you go your whole life inschool learning how to get a job
, but not how to create a job.
(07:37):
And again, I reiterate thisalmost in every single YouTube
episode I make.
But, it's true, you learn howto get a job, not how to create
a job.
You learn how to think like anemployee, not to think like an
employer.
Okay, you learn how to thinklike an employer, maybe, but you
also, for sure, never learn howto think like an investor.
(07:59):
Name me all the times in schoolwhether you went to a public
school, private school that youactually learned about real
estate, right?
Name me all the times that youlearned about this.
How to the differences betweenresidential, commercial,
industrial and things like thatall these different forms of
real estate.
When did you learn about thatin school?
When did you learn how toacquire cash flowing businesses
(08:21):
like laundromats or storagefacilities or all these boring
businesses, but they would makeyou a good 10k a month?
In school, how much did youreally learn?
How to start or how to buybusinesses, how to cash flow,
right?
How did you learn?
Did you ever learn about thebanking system, fractional
reserve banking?
Did you ever learn about 363sales, private equity?
(08:42):
Did you learn about any of this?
Software as a service, whichtoday making $30 million a year
annually?
Some of these businesses I knowfriends and other CEOs that own
software companies and they arejust making absolute killings.
I don't know how, but they are,and it's because they've
learned skills.
They've acquired skills tolearn how to code, to learn how
to run nodes, all of thesethings that live in 2025.
(09:04):
They've learned how tointegrate artificial
intelligence into their business.
And see, at Gold Shark Media,the reason we're going to live
in 10 years is because we areinvesting in research and
development.
So right now, as the CEO, Ihave a very limited amount of
capital and funds.
I have a limited amount ofresources, as every business
owner and entrepreneur does.
I have a limited amount ofresources, as every business
(09:25):
owner and entrepreneur does.
But right now we are in thebeginning stages.
See, we're only in year twostill, and we've made some money
.
We've built a good clientele,we've got over a dozen clients
and now we're just working onramping things up a little bit
faster.
Now we're thinking aboutinvesting in more marketing
agencies down the road.
We're thinking about investinga lot of our assets into real
estate.
We're thinking about investinga lot of our assets into XRP
(09:48):
ETFs, because obviously, xrpwill be replacing Bitcoin soon,
as we know, most likely based onwhat we know today.
So we're thinking in the futureGoldShark Media.
We're thinking about how tomake sure our clients can make
money later.
See, if Gold Shark Media wins,we believe in providing a profit
share for our clientele and Iguess you can call them our
(10:10):
shareholders in many ways, and Iguess I'd like to make that a
real thing at a later point,because some of the clients that
we've had so far have trulybeen the reason Gold Shark Media
has stayed alive.
I can't tell you how many timesI've, by the tip of my
fingernails, have been trying tokeep Gold Shark Media going,
and we are able to keep it goingbecause we can keep getting new
clients.
So if you're looking to growyour business, go to
(10:33):
wwwgoldsharkmediacom and orderour lowest plan offer for $200.
And you'll get 500 DMs a month.
Plus, we'll also manage yoursocial media.
We'll do all of that good stuff, advertising promo.
We'll sponsor you on our oldGold Shark Media account or our
new Gold Shark Media account,and we will also make sure that
you're getting all the brandawareness that you need as a
(10:54):
business to make sure that yousucceed.
And that's what we are allabout.
We're about building theAmerican dream.
We know that there's othermarketing agencies out there
just like us.
We know that there's othermarketing agencies out there
just like us.
We know that anybody can dothis.
We know that any team you cango and work with any team you
want.
But the reason I would want towork with Gold Shark Media is
because you're not just workingwith me, brendan Scott Ecker,
(11:15):
who I take my reputation veryseriously.
I'll be working directly withyou, one-on-one, but also you'll
be working with a team of thebest marketers, the best team of
highly talented.
What do you want to call it?
Freelancers, you could callthem employees, you could call
them agents, whatever, but GoldShark Media allows you, as a
(11:36):
business owner, to have a lotmore freedom than you might've
already had.
Okay, so again, we know thatyou can work with anybody else.
We know that marketing agenciesare expensive, but guess what?
Plain and simple, your businessneeds marketing and at some
point along the way, you need todouble down on marketing, or
triple down on it even, becausethe more eyeballs that see your
product, the more people thatcan potentially buy your product
, and that is what puts youahead of the race.
(11:58):
How many people are seeing yourproduct every single day?
Are you running organic socialmedia content?
That's getting your brand nameout, your brand word out, all of
these things.
What's your LinkedIn profilelook like?
Would it be nice if you couldhave an agency managing your
LinkedIn, your X, your Facebook,all of your social media, and
not just managing content andposting stuff, but actually
(12:20):
going to get you clients sending500 DMs a day actually staying
in the DMs.
I can tell you, as a businessowner, trying to hire
appointment setters was such apain because some of them would
work, some of them didn't.
But you know what I enjoyed theidea of being able to provide
this service for otherbusinesses, because I know I can
get the job done right.
I know how to properly conductappointment setting in a way
(12:43):
that makes sense, that doesn'tirritate clients, that doesn't
rely fully on automation butalso allows automation to do its
magic so it can get you as manyclients as possible and allow
you to free up as much time aspossible at the same time.
Okay, so at the end of the day,when you work with Gold Shark
Media, you're investing in ateam yes, just like any other
(13:03):
agency, but we're going to beholding your hand one-on-one.
You're investing in me.
You're investing in success.
You're investing in positioningyourself for the long term.
Okay, that's the reason for ourhigher ticket plans now.
So if you want to invest in ourhigher ticket plans, then we're
going to pump more of thatmoney you give us into
advertising so we can manage thefunds, we could manage DM
outreach, we could managee-learning creation.
(13:26):
All of these create.
Just basically, we want to beyour creative number twos.
We want to be your creativeside by side.
We want to be your, we want tobe your creative partners in
this growth of business thatwill eventually change your life
if you can do this correctly.
Business is a powerful way tomake money and it's not worth
giving up on, because if yougive up on your business, then
(13:46):
you got to go back to a job youhate, right?
So you can't give up.
You just need to invest in moremarketing, and that's where
Gold Shark Media comes in.
That's what I love about whatwe do here at Gold Shark Media
and being two years intobusiness and again struggling to
keep the doors open.
From time to time, we'vestruggled to be down on our luck
(14:07):
and we've had losses, but youknow what?
Now we are in a position ofcomplete power and we are in a
position of leadership becausewe promote the 1%, we promote
the billionaire class, wepromote those who want to rise
to higher echelons of success,and not just life, but also
abundance, right, balance.
(14:27):
Okay, that's what it's allabout.
That is real success.
And so to me, just again, beingsomebody who served in law
enforcement, I know what it'slike to be on really intense
calls and have to handle justred light situations where it's
like, oh shit, okay, time tolock it up, time to make sure
we're safe here, time to makesure things get done Okay.
(14:48):
I know what it's like to be ina dangerous position.
I know what it's like to go toa job you might not enjoy as
much as everybody else aroundyou, so you don't do as well as
everybody else around you.
I know what all of this is likeand it's the reason I started
Gold Shark Media.
Gold Shark Media.
Gold Shark Media is aboutbuilding the American dream for
entrepreneurs and motivatedindividuals who want to help
(15:08):
build not just themselves, notjust their families, but also
America, the United States.
There's so much to say aboutthis country where we live and
what we've developed and theroots and the DNA of America.
And the reason I love businessis because I believe in America
and I believe in Americanbusiness, because American
(15:28):
business when American businessis doing well, everything else
seems to be doing well, ifbusinesses are able to be
started, and if businesses areable to thrive and make more
money to acquire more clients,then businesses can go on to
live legends but also feed theirfamilies.
Most important, you know,businesses, when they are
(15:49):
successful, can allowindividuals to rise to their
greatest selves.
Everybody's focused on going toa job and we think that that's
what life is all about.
And that isn't what life is allabout.
Life is not all about going to ajob.
Life is a beautiful mystery.
Life is full of interestingconcepts, interesting ideas,
opportunities and voyages,quests, things we never learned,
(16:13):
hidden truths.
There's so many places thathave never been explored, most
of the ocean.
We've never even found Atlantisyet.
Supposedly we have, supposedlywe haven't.
Who knows?
But why not explore that deeper?
Well, you can't, because youdon't have enough money, because
you're not making enough moneyin your business A or B, your
(16:35):
job isn't paying you enoughmoney, so therefore, you can
barely afford to pay the bills.
And then, nonetheless, you gotto feed your family.
And now you want to talk aboutbuilding your dreams.
Well, and then, nonetheless,you've got to feed your family,
and now you want to talk aboutbuilding your dreams.
Well, this is risky.
And this is where the questioncomes in Is it worth it?
Are you ready to actually takethe step, to move to the next
level?
Do you want to join the highestranks of entrepreneurs and do
(16:56):
you want to not just do that?
You know, it's not about beingthe highest ranking entrepreneur
.
It's about being the highestranking you as an individual.
It's about being the highestranking example for others, for
humanity, for what we are ableto achieve if we reach our
highest potential and if we putin the work and we take the
(17:18):
risks and if we dare to riskeven so.
This is what Gold Shark Mediais all about.
This is what we live for.
This is what I live for.
I believe in the American dreamand this is why I started Gold
Shark Media.
I know that there are thousandsand thousands of marketing
agencies.
I know that anybody can go anddo this.
I know you could work withanybody you want, and I'm not
(17:40):
ignorant to this.
I care about finding clientswho want to work with me, who
want to work with the best.
I want to work with clients whowant to have a business that
lasts longer than two years.
I want to work with businesseswho have real financial gain and
potential.
I like working.
(18:01):
For example, if you're a realestate agent or a real estate
broker, we like to work with you.
If you're an engineer and aninnovator, we would love to work
with you.
If you are a public figure, apersonality, we'd love to work
with you.
Influencer, we'd love to workwith you.
We can turn you into anaffiliate or we can be your
(18:21):
affiliate One of the two, maybemaybe both, if you're interested
.
At the end of the day, this iswhat it's all about.
This is the american dream.
We work with the best.
We work with ai companies.
We work with software companiesbecause we understand that this
is the future.
We work with crypto, withblockchain companies,
cryptocurrency companies.
We want to live on the edgebecause we're ready for
(18:44):
industrialism and innovation.
We're ready to achieve whatmany believe is impossible, but
with focus and vision, withfaith in the concept and the
process, imagine what can beachieved with no limits, with no
caps on what you can make, withno more policies and employee
(19:08):
blah, blah, blah, blah.
No, hire a marketing agency andwe will just make you go viral.
We will just get you all yourclients, one-time investment and
you're good to go.
Make it into a monthly thing,whatever, we'll negotiate it.
It's all customizable.
Look on our website,wwwgoldsharkmediacom, and you'll
see.
And also you can, of course,buy merch.
(19:29):
We sell coffee mugs, we sellhats, we sell clothing, we sell
all that kind of cool stuff.
And then, right now also, ifyou do want to order anything
from the apextechnologystorecomI did just buy that domain we're
building up a shopify store forthat, so be sure to dm me and
I'll get you a pre-order for oneof our items.
(19:51):
So be sure to do that.
Um for sure you'll love it.
So why is it that I'm talking toyou?
Why is it that I'm talking tothis camera in this empty room,
feeling like a weirdo?
But this is what people do.
People watch videos of peoplelike me talking to you, because
this is the future.
Unfortunately, we all live onour phones and technology this
(20:15):
device that you're holding inyour hand or this device that
you're looking at, whether it beyour laptop, a tablet, whatever
is controlling you.
So the truth is, do you wanttechnology to control you or do
you want to control technology?
You want to go into the realmsof AI?
We'll help you do that.
Gold Shark Media works with thefuture, and that's what I want
(20:36):
to be a part of.
That's why I started Gold SharkMedia.
It's not just about startingbusinesses and making a lot of
money.
It's about proving something toyourself and that's why I
wanted to do this.
Being a police officer is hardand it is, you know.
It motivated me to do more inlife.
I felt like I was called toachieve something more.
I wrote Beyond the Beat how IMade my Door, my Office.
(20:58):
You can look at both of thebooks right here.
Be sure to buy them on Amazon,by the way, not too expensive
for you, or you can get thee-books really cheap.
I think you can get the e-bookon Kindle for like 99 cents.
So be sure to do that.
But my books, I wrote thosebecause I felt like I was called
to do it.
You know, whether my books weregood, bad, I don't really care.
(21:20):
You know I haven't gotten a lotof reviews on my books yet
because, honestly, I'm more ofan entrepreneur who just tries
new things.
I didn't even really think todo a book launch and all of this
stuff.
I didn't know what I was doing.
I launched the book on mybirthday, september 7th, and
essentially that was my plan.
That was the strategy Launchthe book on my birthday, and so
(21:45):
I never did any kind of booklaunch, anything like that, and
so now I don't really have a lotof reviews on it.
I'm still working on this stuff.
I'm just.
You know, I have plans for howto get the reviews and whatnot,
but right now, gold Shark Media.
You know, I was inspired to doall of this, to write the books,
to start the marketing agency,to start the YouTube channel, to
do all of this to buy thismicrophone and to talk to you
(22:05):
about life and business, to talkto the lighting that's shining
at me right now, everythingyou're seeing, the stand that's
holding my phone up that you'rewatching right now.
That's allowing me to talk toyou.
I paid for all of this.
I paid for this with a creditcard.
I didn't have money, you know,because I was working as a
(22:26):
police officer and I waspart-time and again, I'm part.
I was part-time by choice, youknow.
Some people might say that Iwas part-time.
Oh, because I wasn't goodenough as a cop and couldn't
hack it.
It's like, not necessarily Ijust.
I like more free time, I wantto.
I like business, I like I'vebeen talking about for the last
25 minutes.
I like business.
I like entrepreneurship.
(22:46):
This is what I'm all about.
I like to study new ways ofmaking money.
I like to study everybody'sjourney.
Something that equalizeseverybody is being an
entrepreneur.
Interestingly enough, anythingcan be accomplished if you truly
believe in yourself, and youcan never forget that.
If you really want it badenough, all you've got to do is
chase it.
You've just got to believe inyourself.
You got to believe in thevision and you got to not listen
(23:08):
to everybody else.
Everybody else is going to tellyou that you can't do it.
They're going to tell you whyit won't work.
They're going to tell you whyit's foolish.
They're going to tell you whyyou're an idiot.
They're going to tell you whyit just makes no sense.
You should try this.
You should do that, get a job,be sensible.
You don't know what you'retalking about.
You don't even know about this.
Everybody's going to have alabel for you, but fuck them, be
(23:28):
yourself.
Be yourself.
Don't ever let anybody tell youwho you are.
Don't ever let anybody tell youthat you can't do something.
You can do whatever you want.
This is America.
We're Americans, not Americans.
We're Americans.
Anything is possible in thiscountry.
Never forget it.
Don't let any teacher tell youthat nothing is achievable.
(23:49):
If you want it, if you got thevision, if you got the stuff, if
you got the might, if you gotthe skills, then you can capture
everything that you want.
And it only takes focus, and itonly takes execution and time
and eventually you will be thebest.
You'll be the master.
Because you took time to learn,you took time to educate
yourself, you failed enough towhere you succeeded eventually,
(24:13):
and then now you teach thesubject.
Now people ask you.
Now people respect you and loveyou.
When at first, when you wereonly getting 25 views on YouTube
, they hated you, but now theylove you.
Look at how it works.
When you just stay tough andyou don't fucking quit, stay
strong, nothing can defeat you.
Gold Shark Media is a story ofstrength.
(24:37):
What I want our mission to be isto build the American dream.
I keep saying it over and overbecause I want to iterate that
we are the agency who believesin the American dream.
You give us a large investment.
You're getting a partner.
This is a growth partnership.
If you work with Gold SharkMedia, we want to be with you
for the long haul, through thegood times and the bad times,
because our goal is to make yourbusiness more wealthy.
(25:00):
Marketing agencies that's whatwe're supposed to do.
We're supposed to put moneyinto your pocket that you gave
us first, okay.
So we want to make sure that,as a marketing agency, you come
out of this deal making moremoney.
Okay, our goal as a marketingagency is to push you up to the
next level.
It's to push you up to thepoint of financial freedom and
independence so you can startmaking 10K, 20k, 30k a month in
(25:22):
your business.
So that's what we do at GoldShark Media.
That's what I stand for.
Brennan Scott Ecker.
I want prosperity, I wantgreatness.
I want people to achieve whatthey never thought possible, and
that's what I'm all about.
I'm all about doing things thatmost say is crazy.
I'm all about taking risks.
(25:43):
I'm all about contrarian views,taking the road less traveled
by.
See, I never want to look likeeverybody else in the room had
to go to a dinner not too longago.
This is actually the dressshirt I wore to an event and I
said no, I want to wear allblack because I don't want to
look the same as anybody.
I know most people aren't goingto wear all black, so I'm going
(26:10):
to wear all black Because if,if anybody does, it'll be like a
very small amount of people.
And guess what?
I saw like nobody, zero peoplewho wore all black.
Just a point I like to standout and be different.
I never want to be just likeeverybody else never.
And you know, I was okay withbeing wrong and I still am to
this day.
And that's again what brings meback to why I keep going with
Gold Shark Media.
Why do I keep building GoldShark Media, why do I even keep
(26:33):
trying, even if we're not makingclients for a long period of
time that's happened when peoplejust don't have money.
They really don't.
You know, and the internetmight tell you, people have
money, but really a lot ofpeople don't have money.
People are struggling.
Most of your clientele, eventhe rich, which is most of our
clientele real estate agentsagain, e-commerce companies
making millions a year.
Guess what?
Some of these companies makingmillions a year.
(26:54):
You wouldn't believe what kindof debt they're in.
You wouldn't believe how muchmoney they actually owe back in
taxes.
You wouldn't believe how muchmoney some of these companies
are actually withholding fromtheir clients and not putting it
into advertising or whatever itmight be, you wouldn't fucking
believe it, and so everything isjust a game and that's
(27:17):
something you need to understandand I understood it at a
certain point.
I was sitting in my patrol carone day and I'm just like this
is back when I was full-time copand I just I'm like man, I hate
this.
You know, like I love thisbadge and I love the people I
work with, I love the people Iserve in this community, but I
(27:38):
hate this fucking job.
I hate it.
Like I hated it and there gotat one point I liked it, at
point I was all about being acop.
But there came a day where Ijust said I hate this job.
Like every time a call wouldcome over the radio, I was done,
I didn't want it.
Something happened to me where Iwanted more, and not out of
(28:01):
selfish reasons, not because Iwanted to be comfortable.
I wanted to achieve more in mylife.
I wanted to be what I knew Icould become.
If I pushed myself harder, if Itried new things, if I just
gave up and let go of whatsociety tells me I need to do.
Keep a job, do it for 30 years,eventually get your pension.
(28:23):
Eventually, you'll have a goodlife.
Eventually you'll have a goodlife.
Eventually you'll have a goodretirement.
Fuck that.
Winners don't think that way.
Winners don't let societydeclare, declare their future.
Winners don't do that.
Winners take what they want.
Winners don't fuck around.
Winners just fucking go.
(28:43):
Winners just fucking build.
We innovate, we rock it, wecreate the narrative, we create
the future, because that is whatentrepreneurship is.
That is what business andcapitalism is.
It's about being creative.
It's about setting standardsand raising the bar higher.
Gold Shark Media stands forthis.
(29:07):
Envision gold, the Americandream.
Build it.
Build it and they will come.
There is nothing you can'tachieve if you truly believe in
the vision, if you truly believein the cause, the purpose.
Many of the greatest thingsthat you've ever seen happen in
(29:28):
your lifetime, some of thegreatest achievements, they were
all accomplished and achievedby those who were called crazy,
who were once ignored, who wereonce overlooked, underestimated,
and then eventually look who'son top?
It's the ones that you doubt.
(29:50):
It's the ones you don't thinkare going to be there.
It's the ones who go throughall the hell.
All the people who loseeverything eventually become the
ones who declare the future.
Do you understand?
If you want something badenough.
You take it.
God gave you a vision and theability to achieve anything you
(30:13):
want.
Don't let anybody tell you youcan't Take it.
At the end of the day, thisrequires wisdom, this requires
focus, it requires taking action.
It requires you to believe inyourself, but also to believe in
something more than yourself,something higher, to believe
that you do have a purpose onearth, that you're not just here
(30:35):
by accident, that you're notjust here because of chemistry
and biology and human anatomyand physiology and all these
scientific reasons.
We're here because of such alarger purpose.
The day that we realize thiscollectively as humanity is the
day we can become so much more.
We can become transcendent,fifth dimensional, sixth
(31:01):
dimensional.
Who knows what can be possible?
Everybody says that time travelis impossible.
My whole life I've heard howtime travel is so impossible.
But you don't even know thisworld that you live in.
You don't even know how manytravelers are walking amongst
you, how many people havealready seen the future and are
just visiting.
You have no idea.
(31:21):
You'd be shocked.
So all I know is time is of theessence.
We only have so much time tobuild on our goals, to build the
things we want, and to neverstop innovating until the day we
breathe our last breath.
(31:42):
So I, brendan Scott Ecker, I'mmaking this today because I want
this to be the video I playwhen I'm rich, when I'm wealthy
to my standards, to my level ofwealth.
I'm not going to give you mynet worth yet.
All I know is it's not bigenough to where it's important
to disclose.
But we're getting there and Ican say it's been a magical
(32:02):
experience, it's been wild, it'sbeen a say it's been a magical
experience, it's been wild, it'sbeen a, it's been a.
What a ride.
You know I've, I've lost so much, I failed so much, but, man, I
have learned so much.
You cannot defeat me at thispoint.
I'm so unemployable but, likein a good way.
I'm unemployable in a good way,to the extent that, you know, I
(32:25):
can truly make money on my ownanywhere.
I'll never go hungry.
I'll never go hungry, I'llnever go without a meal.
And it's not because I haveenough money or anything like
that, or I'm a millionaire, Imean, it's not just because of
that, it's because I have somuch more in my life.
I have the understanding of howto win.
You see, once you understandhow to win, then you can truly
(32:46):
just you understand how to win,then you can truly just keep on
losing and be fine with it untilyou win, because this is the
art of winning.
You see that I'm making a pointhere.
If you want to win, then youneed to be okay with losing
again and again and again andagain, and again and again and
again, and then you keep losingagain and again and again, and
(33:08):
then things get really hard inlife.
Everybody tells you to quit.
They call you a fool, they tellyou maybe you should do
something else, or maybe you'renot working hard enough at it
this, this, this, this and thatYou're not, you're a failure.
Everything else they might sayexcept those words.
But they think it and they feelit and you know it and you
sense it, but you keep going.
(33:29):
For some reason, something,this kind of voice, tells you
keep going, keep going, keepgoing.
This is important.
Don't quit.
Fight, fight, fight, fight,fight.
And this has been my whole life.
My whole life has been a fight.
I feel my entire life.
I have been motivated not tojust succeed or to do any of
these superficial things,because I wanted to be the very
(33:52):
best at anything I truly wantedto be great at.
I wanted to be the best at it,and not out of arrogance, not to
be you know, not to stomp onother people or step on other
people's necks, not for power,none of that.
I wanted it for myself, toprove to myself that I could
achieve anything, and so mywhole life until I'm dead might
(34:17):
always be a failure.
You know, compared based onwhat the masses consider success
.
Right, the masses see successas fast cars, beautiful homes
worth tens of millions ofdollars, beautiful wife, 10
children you know all thesethings beautiful clothes,
materialistic stuff, okay, andthat is never what I've always.
(34:40):
That's just never what I'veconsidered success.
What I consider success istruly to be able to be free, to
have time and abundance, to behappy to smile, to be able to
smile, to be relieved, to not,you know, to have peace of mind,
to be able to do this what youand I are doing right now.
(35:01):
You know I'm so lucky to beable to make this video.
The way I see life.
I'm lucky.
You know, a friend of minefucking house burned down.
It's like why?
Why does this stuff happen?
It's like here I am making aYouTube video and an ex's house
(35:22):
burns down and it's just fuckingtragic.
And you know, I understand onanother level that one day that
will probably be me.
Maybe it won't be a houseburning down, but it'll be some
other tragedy.
Maybe it'll be a child dying.
Fucking God forbid For anybody.
I don't wish the death by theway of anybody on any human
being, and I would never.
(35:44):
I just we live in a world whereyou never know what's going to
happen.
The unpredictable twists of fatewill always pull you in
different directions, but youhave to stay focused and remain
powerful, in the sense that youcannot quit.
You know, again we go back tohow you're going to fail again
and again, and again and you'regoing to lose again and again,
(36:07):
and again, and to the point offeeling like a loser.
It will almost change youridentity.
You'll feel like one.
But you have to reframe andrewire all the time, constantly
and remember and take a stepback.
This could be worse.
I could be in jail tonight.
This could be worse.
I could be in a hospital bedright now, not able to get out,
(36:30):
not able to afford it.
Even this could be worse.
My wife and I can't have kids.
This could be worse.
I could be dying in a few kids.
This could be worse.
I could be dying in a fewminutes.
This could be worse.
I could be old this could beworse.
I could be young this could beworse.
This could be worse.
This could be worse.
Life could always be worse, yousee.
(36:57):
And so once you understand thisand you understand that the art
of life and winning is to justkeep going and to never quit,
once you understand that theformula to success is to fail
often and to just learn fromyour failures, to constantly
better yourself, to become asponge of information and
knowledge, once you understandthis and you become educated,
once you become stoic, once youbecome focused on a goal and a
(37:17):
dream and an objective biggerthan yourself, once you realize
your purpose and your own legacy, then you're unstoppable.
Nothing is going to ever takeyou down.
So, ladies and gentlemen, goldShark Media is here for the long
(37:40):
haul.
I don't know what's going tohappen at the end of this, as
Alex Jones says, but you know,if it's a fight they want, it's
a fight, they'll get.
You know.
At the end of the day, theuniverse is here for the taking.
Anything you want to achieve,you can achieve, and we've said
this repetitively now in thisepisode.
(38:02):
So I wanted to make this justbecause, for anybody out there
who's an entrepreneur trying tobuild something of their own, if
you're trying to leave your job, if you're trying to do
something that you didn't reallythink you could do, you're
trying to lose weight, whateverit might be that you didn't
really think you could do right,you're trying to lose weight,
whatever it might be, stick toit, just don't give up.
I've played sports my wholelife.
(38:25):
I've been to college, got mydegree, became a police officer,
wrote two books, published them.
I'm on Amazon.
Support the cause, support theshow.
Started a YouTube channel, grewit to 28,000 subscribers,
because by the time I reach amillion subscribers, I would
(38:45):
assume by that point, then weshould have a well over enough
passive income for us with ourbusinesses, with Gold Shark
Media and everything we've builtto help other corporations and
brands, and hopefully by thenwe'll have other brands
partnering with us.
And whatever the date is today,perhaps things will be better,
(39:07):
perhaps things will be worse,but just never give up on a goal
.
Never give up on your dreams.
You can truly do anything.
So go start that business.
Spend too much money, do theopposite of what society tells
you to do.
Don't listen to anybody.
Honestly, don't listen toanybody who isn't where you want
to be.
So if you want to be amillionaire, then listen to
(39:31):
millionaires.
If you want to be a baker, thenyou should go spend time with
the baker.
If you want to go be a policeofficer, you should go spend
time with the baker.
If you want to go be a policeofficer, you should go be a
police officer.
If you want to work withanimals, you should work with
animals.
Do what you love, do what you'repassionate about.
You know there's this argumentof that you should do what
(39:52):
you're passionate about.
Some agree and some disagree.
I believe that there should bea balance.
You shouldn't necessarily justdo whatever you want and do
whatever you love, becausesometimes that might not make
you the most money you need tofind.
You need to turn your work intopassion.
You need to find the passion inyour work.
You need to find the passion ineverything you do.
Everything is worth beingpassionate about.
(40:14):
We don't have a lot of time hereon earth.
We don't have a lot of time toleave our mark in the history
books.
We don't have a lot of timehere on earth.
We don't have a lot of time toleave our mark in the history
books.
We don't have a lot of time tobe legendary.
We don't have a lot of time tochange the world.
We don't have a lot of time tosave our families, to be the
first millionaires in ourfamilies.
We don't have a lot of time.
You must be an entrepreneur, youmust be entrepreneurial.
(40:36):
As I sit here today, as a ayoung, 26 year old kid, I look
at the world around me and Ijust see how right I am every
day.
And it's not because, you know,I'm trying to be arrogant, but
it's more because, wow, I cansee the power of knowledge and
the power of education, thepower of educating oneself and
reading and, you know, payingattention to what's going on in
(40:58):
the world around you, because ifyou don't, you're going to be a
victim to the changes thathappen by people like me.
You know, and typically much,you know, these people in power
are much, much, much, much, much, much worse than me.
You know, as I said, the mostimportant things in my life are
prosperity, success for myfamily, but also for others,
(41:19):
because I believe, I have atheory that if everybody has a
successful business.
That means more jobs are created, and if more jobs are created,
more people are working, thenwhen more people are working,
they can make more money, thusallowing them to eventually
start businesses later, and thusthe cycle of capitalism
continues and proves to besuccessful, versus communism and
(41:39):
socialism, where you get theserations and you're only given
this and this and everybody hasthe same except the government,
except those in power andoligarchy.
So, whatever you believe interms of government, what I
believe as a man is that we mustbe free and independent Health,
wealth, love, happiness,freedom, time to do what we want
(42:01):
.
We only have so much timebefore we all die Eventually.
Maybe technology will changethat, maybe AI will eventually
allow us to live forever, maybeNeuralink and Elon Musk's
companies and nanotechnologywill allow us to live to 200 and
300 years, but at some point wedo die as human beings, or the
soul dies at least, and goessomewhere else.
(42:22):
Perhaps the soul can bemanipulated, perhaps the DNA can
be manipulated, dark matter andall of these things, but you
know, there's just a realmetaphysical fact and universal
fact that human beings, we go tonew levels and there are so
many dimensions for us to travel, and this is just such a small
(42:44):
world that we live in.
A tiny little flake of dust iswhat planet Earth is.
All of this, everything you seearound you, the madness, the
chaos, the complications, theemotions, makes one wonder.
Does it even matter?
Yes, because we're all in thistogether and there's so much
more to learn, to understandwhere we came from.
(43:05):
We have only just begun to liveas human beings.
So this was my rant, brendanScott Ecker.
I believe that, as Americans,business needs to be prioritized
again.
I believe if business is made apriority, then America can
truly succeed and reach itshighest potentials.
(43:25):
And so, with that being said,guys, stay prudent, stay
powerful, stay wealthy.
Never forget you are anythingthat you say you are.
What you want to become Dependssolely on the action that you
will take.
If you want it bad enough, thenyou will achieve it and you
will find a way.
(43:46):
You will not make excuses.
You won't do your best.
You'll do what is required.
So don't give up.
Stay focused, keep fighting,keep breathing until you breathe
your last breath.
You never give up.
