Square handle the back end so you can keep pushing
your vision forward.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I want to I want to talk about this.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I wasn't gonna take the tweet down. My tweet I'm
talked about skip I told you about skip Ah.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I'm gonna let you finish your monologue.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
We'll had a missiones on show go ahead.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
So it's important to understand before I say this. We
come from a working class environment, like you know, sanitation
workers and nurses and school teachers and you know, real
hard working people, people that saved up for a vacation
maybe once every two years, you know, working to send
(02:14):
their kids to college, different things of that nature, Right, So.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I want to preference it before I say that. Okay, no, no, no.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
It's important. But there is a thing called middle class
mediocre mindset. I think I've coined that phrase. I haven't
heard anybody else say it, but you know, I was
just thinking about it, and it's extremely detrimental to your
success if you're trying to break out of it, and
you don't really realize it until you're out of It's
(02:48):
like the matrix. You never really realize you're in a
matrix until you break out of the matrix. Fact and
you know, nineteen keys that says something, and I actually
looked it up on YouTube, and it's actually true.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Where they did a research study where they took.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Flies and they put them in a jar and they
put a they put a cap on a jar, and
the flies obviously could only fly as high as the
cap the lid. When they took the lid off, they
still only flew as high as the lid, even though
the lid was off. That's interesting. But what's even more
interesting is that when they had children, their children only
(03:24):
flew as high as the invisible lid because they were
already programming. That's only as high as you can go. So,
you know, it's interesting, like so many different things, when
I think about it, and you probably don't even realize
these things happen. But you ever heard like parents tell
their children like you just want you just played yesterday.
(03:45):
You just had fun, Yesterdy just had a party yesterday,
Like you can only have fun one day out of
the week. You only have a party one day, Like
I had a family make I took my son to
dinner in the.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
City for his birthday.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
His birthday was on a Tuesday, and somebody said like, well,
why are you taking them to the city on Tuesday,
Like why don't you just take them on the weekend.
And I'm like, well, because his birthday's on Tuesday. But
that's the whole mentality of like, lo, let's just wait
to the weekend because we're working, and we get like
(04:19):
I say that to say, you really have to break
out of the middle class mindset because this is smely
detrimental and the most dangerous thing that America ever did
was create a middle class, because when you create a
middle class, you create some level of comfort because you're
not in poverty, right, You're not in poverty, so you
think that you actually are living in the American dream.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
You're not. You're really not.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
And it's like that mindset is so detrimental because there's
so many limiting factors that go into.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Play here right where it's like you got.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
To wait to the weekend to do things and you
can only like you ever hear somebody say, like you
just came back from a trip, why are you traveling
so much?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Well? Why not?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Well?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Why not? Why am I not traveling? Someone work for
like you know what I'm saying, Like, why am I not?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Try It's a lot of these things that you have
to be extremely careful of the kind of people that
you're around because these kind of limiting words develop habits
and your subconscious and then you feel bad about it.
You like you feel guilty about going on the trip,
You feel guilty about going out two nights in a row.
You feel guilty about going to the city on Tuesday,
(05:26):
Like you start to like rail it back a little bit,
like I'm doing too much, let me let me pull back.
But at the highest level, there's no limitations. And I'm
speaking from firsthand experience because I see it. So when
we in Dubai Abu Dhabi on a Wedday, nobody knows
whether it's Wednesday or Saturday or Sunday. It doesn't matter,
doesn't matter. It really doesn't. Nobody says, it's four o'clock
(05:48):
in the morning, what are you doing out? Nobody says
it's six o'clock you have to get up. There's really
no rules in life at the highest level. There's no rules.
Rules are only for middle class and poor people. Rich
people don't have any rules. They make their own rules.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
So and we can argue that the middle class has
died and after Clinton left office.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Now, yeah, so it's extremely important to understand that. And
like I said, I'm not even speaking from a level
of like condescending, but I'm speaking from firsthand experience because
I've seen both both hands of it, Like this is
how I grew up. So now when I'm in a
different environment, but I always thought like that, but you
start to see it, you start to see things, and
(06:32):
it's like, damn, it's hard to even get people to
understand that the way that they're thinking is so small
and so limiting. So you don't even waste your time.
But for everybody that's watching it, you're on your pathway
the generational wealth. You're on your pathway to success, You're
on your pathway to becoming you know, a superstar in
(06:54):
the entrepreneur world. Whatever you want to do with your life.
So just be mindful of that, because a lot of
times you're limiting yourself based off of the expectations that
have been laid down from you, from your parents, your grandparents,
your friends, your neighbors. So just be mindful of that.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
It's very important and a quick exercise, real quick so
it doesn't come off as elitist, because you know, I
don't want to end up on shade room, but nothing.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I'm hoping to end up on shareroom. I need we
need shade room. We need that. Five hundred dollars dinners
coming back. Now you understand us, five hundred dollars coming back.
Listen becoming the only thing they gonna listen to?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Bitty vibes?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
What are we doing the only thing they're gonna listen to?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
My man had a baby?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Anyway, Please write in chat if money was not an
object or issue, what are the three things you would
do spending your day on. It's very important to set that.
I remember when I set the decision to become an
investor and trader. I'm right, man, I just want to
(08:01):
be able to trade, not have to talk to anyone
regarding to doing business and be able to make money
out of the ether, and may have to bust my
ass to be able to get there. But that manifested,
I will tell you that the middle class has died.
Though even I know a lot of people are mad
about that quote from Grant Cardon And if he only
made X amount of dollars per year, did he want?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
But the truth is too far?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
If did he?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Though?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
No, I mean some things you can't say. Some things
you can't say.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And see that's why I respect it. Okay, Now, if
we're gonna be honest, it's I got some energy, right.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Sixty four people on YouTube?
Speaker 6 (08:46):
What they want is the truth is though he was right,
because if if it's not just about you, I don't
want you to make half a million.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Dollars to go blowing the blooms and Yaga and my care.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
All that, right, But let's say, if you're going to
help five people in your family, how much does it
cost to help five people in your family and take
care of all yourself and be debt free.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
There's a cost. So I want you, guys.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
One of my favorite exercises of money master the game
how much money do you need to retire you and
three people that you love and give everyone that you
love a soft life, you know, because when I they
I don't even want mine to wash the dishes nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
That's not the part that is.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
That was like, all right, maybe since I think the
word is shamed is what triggered mean personally.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Like being a great marketer? You don't think he did that.
I get now, I get the I get the marketing
part of it.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I'm just saying, right, if you're in pursuit of that,
like everybody has a threshold, right, like when you're saying like, hey,
we got to prepare for where we want to go, right,
and so sometimes when yet in the grind I talked
about that on I think that was Dream Champs. We
were talking about when we're in that survival mode. Yeah,
we can have the goal of four hundred thousand, we
(10:09):
can have the goal of fifteen million, but I got
to work on the day to day. I might be
in pursuit of it. Should I feel ashamed that I'm
not there yet? I don't think so Like that that
word I think is what triggered, Like if if you're
not there now great, you might.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Be in pursuit of Okay, yeah, we can't. Not the
people that's in pursuit of it.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
You can't. You can't. You can't disrespect people. You can't.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
I don't think he was saying it to disrespect, but
it did come. That's how he said it.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The tone, the tone, the tones.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
What you say is how you say it, right, So ashamed.
I think it's a strong word. Like I personally haven't
hit what my personal income goal is ever, I'm mad
that I haven't hit it yet.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Meta write my check so I can hit it.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
But I think we have to have realistic goals because like, well,
excuse me, unrealistic goals, because the truth is is a
person that is hit a realistic goal twenty five times,
it's not a good feeling to hit that goal and
be like fuck, I should have should have asked for more,
should have did more, should have pushed for more. I
should have been not only going off the metal, but
every top one thousand company on Earth at this same.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
But then, what I also realize is that even like
being around billionaires and hanging around people that's extremely wealthy
non figures, the goal is never money.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, so the goal the goal.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Is creating something that is going to change the world.
The goal is creating, like you know, that's the goal, right.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So even or helping people create something.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, so even the money, I think that, you know,
it's not really about money. That's why I wanted to say,
what the middle class mindset. It's not necessarily the money,
because you can still make a lot of money and
still have a middle class mindset. Right, it's liberating yourself
from the shackles of the oppression that was put on
you from people.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
And it was, well, it depends in New York how
much does it cost?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Well, first before so for me personally, right before I
had any money, I was already liberated. I ain't have
no money, and I was I was already on that
type of time. I never had it real I was
always waking up whenever I wanted, I was always doing
I was.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I went to Asia with for thirty days. I wasn't
rich when I did that.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
And it's like people were saying that at that time,
like I went to Asia. We went to Asia five
years ago for thirty days with a round trip plane
ticket and two nights in a hotel with no plan.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
We wind it.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
We went to five different countries and people were like, well,
why would you going to do that? You got two
types of people in this world. You got one type
of people that say why and the other type that
say why not? So they say like, why are you
going to do it?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Well?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Because I'm going to die one day and if I
don't do it, then I'm never gonna have an opportunity
to do it. So instead of asking me why I'm
going to do it, ask yourself while you're not going
to do it. So that doesn't really take money to
kind of have that first money mine makes money. Money
don't make money, doesn't make the person. Your mind is
(13:11):
the most important thing period. Once you get your mind right,
then the money's just gonna come flowing because now you're
an abundance mindset and you're attracting it. You're attracting it.
But what you're doing with these negative thoughts and these
limiting thoughts is that you're actually blocking it. So it's
extremely it's extremely important for people to understand that because
I feel like a lot of times people don't fully
(13:34):
understand how their mind is so powerful. How and even
the things that you tell your children just be careful
how you speak to your children, because it's like you're
already instilling fear. You're already instilling different things in them
that you might not even be aware of, And it's
like they're already growing up with limitations and fear at
(13:55):
ten years old. At eight years old, this.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Is an interesting thought exercise. If you want to chat,
if you had to make two million dollars in three months,
writ out at what price point would you sell your products?
How many do you need to sell, and what's your
plan to get there? One of my favorite things to
do is reverse engineer. How do you get from this
point and what are the steps you need to take
(14:19):
to get back there? For me personally, when I was
an investing I was watching CNBC like crazy, and it
was Maria Bartoomo, Santinelli and everybody back in the day, right,
And I'm like, if they would just give the prices
and fundamentals, right. So that's when I started working on
the formulation that became the crystal ball. So I thought
(14:41):
you should be able to like know the fundamentals of
a company and give the price in like less than
thirty seconds, right, So everyone in chat two million dollars
three months. What is your formulation? But it all started
with the problem when I was watching CNBC in two
thousand and eight, the information wasn't that clear. And here
we today in twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, doing
(15:03):
this for you guys, for free at scale right, shout
out to y'all. But whatever you put into your mind eventually,
with Madam and for my Christians, I keep saying it,
how can you be a child of God and be
afraid to put your ideas, proclamations, products and services out
into the world and serve him? And he made the Moon,
Mountain Stars, Grass, grasshopp Man, go get that ship this
(15:26):
year two million dollars and three months. What's your plan?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
You know what changed my life. This is the last
thing I'll say about this.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
You know what changed my life because even in social media,
I always tell this story, I want to do this
eight years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
What we're doing now, I wanted to do it eight
years ago.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
But you know, it's fear, is self doubt, it's thinking like,
you know, what will people think of me? I have
five hundred followers and a private I had a private
page with five hundred followers. This no, this is just
this is just reality. Yeah, but you know what, you
know what, how many years ago was this when when
we started?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, when you have five hundred followers, that was like
six That was like six years ago.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Life could change in half a decade, Yo, life and.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
That was like six years ago.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
But you know what, I realized, I had an epiphany
that I'm going to die. Once you embrace death, you're
not afraid to lift. I would say that again, Once
you embrace death, you're not afraid to live because you
realize that we're all gonna die one day, and ultimately,
somebody's opinion of you doesn't matter. What people think of you,
(16:30):
don't matter, what people are gonna say about you, doesn't matter,
because it's like it's a very short period of time
that we have on this earth, So you might as
well just make the most of it. Because what's the
worst that could happen? The worst that could happen. It
just doesn't work out. But it's like if you never tried,
or if you never really went for it, now you
gotta live with regret, and regret is much harder to
(16:51):
live with than failure.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
You can live with failure. It didn't work.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
People fail all the time, but to live with regret
is much harder to deal with because you never know
what's gonna happen. So nobody wants to be on their
deathbed when it's seventy years old, eighty years old, ninety whatever,
and it's like, Damn, I wasted my whole life. I
really didn't do anything because I was afraid of what
my friend would have wrote on Instagram.

Play here right where it's like you got.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
To wait to the weekend to do things and you
can only like you ever hear somebody say, like you
just came back from a trip, why are you traveling
so much?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Well? Why not?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Well?

Why not? Why am I not traveling? Someone work for

doesn't matter. It really doesn't. Nobody says, it's four o'clock
(05:48):
in the morning, what are you doing out? Nobody says
it's six o'clock you have to get up. There's really
no rules in life at the highest level. There's no rules.
Rules are only for middle class and poor people. Rich
people don't have any rules. They make their own rules.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
So and we can argue that the middle class has
died and after Clinton left office.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Now, yeah, so it's extremely important to understand that. And
like I said, I'm not even speaking from a level
of like condescending, but I'm speaking from firsthand experience because
I've seen both both hands of it, Like this is
how I grew up. So now when I'm in a
different environment, but I always thought like that, but you
start to see it, you start to see things, and
(06:32):
it's like, damn, it's hard to even get people to
understand that the way that they're thinking is so small
and so limiting. So you don't even waste your time.
But for everybody that's watching it, you're on your pathway
the generational wealth. You're on your pathway to success, You're
on your pathway to becoming you know, a superstar in
(06:54):
the entrepreneur world. Whatever you want to do with your life.
So just be mindful of that, because a lot of
times you're limiting yourself based off of the expectations that
have been laid down from you, from your parents, your grandparents,
your friends, your neighbors. So just be mindful of that.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
It's very important and a quick exercise, real quick so
it doesn't come off as elitist, because you know, I
don't want to end up on shade room, but nothing.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I'm hoping to end up on shareroom. I need we
need shade room. We need that. Five hundred dollars dinners
coming back. Now you understand us, five hundred dollars coming back.
Listen becoming the only thing they gonna listen to?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Bitty vibes?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
What are we doing the only thing they're gonna listen to?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
My man had a baby?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Anyway, Please write in chat if money was not an
object or issue, what are the three things you would
do spending your day on. It's very important to set that.
I remember when I set the decision to become an
investor and trader. I'm right, man, I just want to
(08:01):
be able to trade, not have to talk to anyone
regarding to doing business and be able to make money
out of the ether, and may have to bust my
ass to be able to get there. But that manifested,
I will tell you that the middle class has died.
Though even I know a lot of people are mad
about that quote from Grant Cardon And if he only
made X amount of dollars per year, did he want?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
But the truth is too far?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
If did he?
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Though?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
No, I mean some things you can't say. Some things
you can't say.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And see that's why I respect it. Okay, Now, if
we're gonna be honest, it's I got some energy, right.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Sixty four people on YouTube?
Speaker 6 (08:46):
What they want is the truth is though he was right,
because if if it's not just about you, I don't
want you to make half a million.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Dollars to go blowing the blooms and Yaga and my care.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
All that, right, But let's say, if you're going to
help five people in your family, how much does it
cost to help five people in your family and take
care of all yourself and be debt free.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
There's a cost. So I want you, guys.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
One of my favorite exercises of money master the game
how much money do you need to retire you and
three people that you love and give everyone that you
love a soft life, you know, because when I they
I don't even want mine to wash the dishes nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
That's not the part that is.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
That was like, all right, maybe since I think the
word is shamed is what triggered mean personally.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Like being a great marketer? You don't think he did that.
I get now, I get the I get the marketing
part of it.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I'm just saying, right, if you're in pursuit of that,
like everybody has a threshold, right, like when you're saying like, hey,
we got to prepare for where we want to go, right,
and so sometimes when yet in the grind I talked
about that on I think that was Dream Champs. We
were talking about when we're in that survival mode. Yeah,
we can have the goal of four hundred thousand, we
(10:09):
can have the goal of fifteen million, but I got
to work on the day to day. I might be
in pursuit of it. Should I feel ashamed that I'm
not there yet? I don't think so Like that that
word I think is what triggered, Like if if you're
not there now great, you might.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Be in pursuit of Okay, yeah, we can't. Not the
people that's in pursuit of it.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
You can't. You can't. You can't disrespect people. You can't.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
I don't think he was saying it to disrespect, but
it did come. That's how he said it.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The tone, the tone, the tones.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
What you say is how you say it, right, So ashamed.
I think it's a strong word. Like I personally haven't
hit what my personal income goal is ever, I'm mad
that I haven't hit it yet.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Meta write my check so I can hit it.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
But I think we have to have realistic goals because like, well,
excuse me, unrealistic goals, because the truth is is a
person that is hit a realistic goal twenty five times,
it's not a good feeling to hit that goal and
be like fuck, I should have should have asked for more,
should have did more, should have pushed for more. I
should have been not only going off the metal, but
every top one thousand company on Earth at this same.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
But then, what I also realize is that even like
being around billionaires and hanging around people that's extremely wealthy
non figures, the goal is never money.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, so the goal the goal.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Is creating something that is going to change the world.
The goal is creating, like you know, that's the goal, right.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So even or helping people create something.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, so even the money, I think that, you know,
it's not really about money. That's why I wanted to say,
what the middle class mindset. It's not necessarily the money,
because you can still make a lot of money and
still have a middle class mindset. Right, it's liberating yourself
from the shackles of the oppression that was put on
you from people.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
And it was, well, it depends in New York how
much does it cost?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Well, first before so for me personally, right before I
had any money, I was already liberated. I ain't have
no money, and I was I was already on that
type of time. I never had it real I was
always waking up whenever I wanted, I was always doing
I was.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I went to Asia with for thirty days. I wasn't
rich when I did that.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
And it's like people were saying that at that time,
like I went to Asia. We went to Asia five
years ago for thirty days with a round trip plane
ticket and two nights in a hotel with no plan.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
We wind it.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
We went to five different countries and people were like, well,
why would you going to do that? You got two
types of people in this world. You got one type
of people that say why and the other type that
say why not? So they say like, why are you
going to do it?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Well?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Because I'm going to die one day and if I
don't do it, then I'm never gonna have an opportunity
to do it. So instead of asking me why I'm
going to do it, ask yourself while you're not going
to do it. So that doesn't really take money to
kind of have that first money mine makes money. Money
don't make money, doesn't make the person. Your mind is
(13:11):
the most important thing period. Once you get your mind right,
then the money's just gonna come flowing because now you're
an abundance mindset and you're attracting it. You're attracting it.
But what you're doing with these negative thoughts and these
limiting thoughts is that you're actually blocking it. So it's
extremely it's extremely important for people to understand that because
I feel like a lot of times people don't fully
(13:34):
understand how their mind is so powerful. How and even
the things that you tell your children just be careful
how you speak to your children, because it's like you're
already instilling fear. You're already instilling different things in them
that you might not even be aware of, And it's
like they're already growing up with limitations and fear at
(13:55):
ten years old. At eight years old, this.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Is an interesting thought exercise. If you want to chat,
if you had to make two million dollars in three months,
writ out at what price point would you sell your products?
How many do you need to sell, and what's your
plan to get there? One of my favorite things to
do is reverse engineer. How do you get from this
point and what are the steps you need to take
(14:19):
to get back there? For me personally, when I was
an investing I was watching CNBC like crazy, and it
was Maria Bartoomo, Santinelli and everybody back in the day, right,
And I'm like, if they would just give the prices
and fundamentals, right. So that's when I started working on
the formulation that became the crystal ball. So I thought
(14:41):
you should be able to like know the fundamentals of
a company and give the price in like less than
thirty seconds, right, So everyone in chat two million dollars
three months. What is your formulation? But it all started
with the problem when I was watching CNBC in two
thousand and eight, the information wasn't that clear. And here
we today in twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, doing
(15:03):
this for you guys, for free at scale right, shout
out to y'all. But whatever you put into your mind eventually,
with Madam and for my Christians, I keep saying it,
how can you be a child of God and be
afraid to put your ideas, proclamations, products and services out
into the world and serve him? And he made the Moon,
Mountain Stars, Grass, grasshopp Man, go get that ship this
(15:26):
year two million dollars and three months. What's your plan?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
You know what changed my life. This is the last
thing I'll say about this.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
You know what changed my life because even in social media,
I always tell this story, I want to do this
eight years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
What we're doing now, I wanted to do it eight
years ago.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
But you know, it's fear, is self doubt, it's thinking like,
you know, what will people think of me? I have
five hundred followers and a private I had a private
page with five hundred followers. This no, this is just
this is just reality. Yeah, but you know what, you
know what, how many years ago was this when when
we started?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, when you have five hundred followers, that was like
six That was like six years ago.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Life could change in half a decade, Yo, life and.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
That was like six years ago.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
But you know what, I realized, I had an epiphany
that I'm going to die. Once you embrace death, you're
not afraid to lift. I would say that again, Once
you embrace death, you're not afraid to live because you
realize that we're all gonna die one day, and ultimately,
somebody's opinion of you doesn't matter. What people think of you,
(16:30):
don't matter, what people are gonna say about you, doesn't matter,
because it's like it's a very short period of time
that we have on this earth, So you might as
well just make the most of it. Because what's the
worst that could happen? The worst that could happen. It
just doesn't work out. But it's like if you never tried,
or if you never really went for it, now you
gotta live with regret, and regret is much harder to
(16:51):
live with than failure.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
You can live with failure. It didn't work.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
People fail all the time, but to live with regret
is much harder to deal with because you never know
what's gonna happen. So nobody wants to be on their
deathbed when it's seventy years old, eighty years old, ninety whatever,
and it's like, Damn, I wasted my whole life. I
really didn't do anything because I was afraid of what
my friend would have wrote on Instagram.
