“Yeah, people will give you things when they think you know them more than they know you. And so what do I mean by that? I mean, nobody, I mean, our favorite word is our name, right for every single one of us. And we all like to talk about ourselves more than we like to ask questions. It's just kind of true for most humans. So if we know that to be true, what do you want to do in an interview? You want to go in and say, here's all the things I think I know about your company. I'm not sure because I'm not you. I'm on the outside, but this is what I think I know about it. I'm really impressed by this. I think this is great over here. I'm curious about this. Can you tell me why you guys made this decision? The interview should be showing the interview error that you know almost everything that there is to know about their company. And it should be done with a lot of humility. Like, I think that, even if you're certain, I think is important. And the second that happens, our ego gets to us and I go, this guy's pretty.”

“When I left first, the first person who wanted to give me a check was my CEO. So I was like, I'm going to go do something else. I'm going to build something else. And he wanted me out of the firm. He was like, I don't want you running the business how you're running it now. You need to do it my way, not your way. But we left amicably. And he said, I want to be your first investment. Like when you go looking for investors, I want to be it. And I think that is what employees should strive for. Try to get your boss to give you your first capital. And if you're a great employee, they're going to be happy to.”

“Too early. In my opinion, because you can learn on somebody else's dime as opposed to going out and doing the brutal, awful thing that could put you ten years behind because you lose all your money and you don't actually have enough knowledge to do the job right. Go and work for a bunch of entrepreneurs for five or seven years. And then once you've been sure that you really want to be in the game and be an entrepreneur, then go do it. But that's what I would do. I would leapfrog to positions of higher power and then eventually I might become an entrepreneur in finance. They have a really cool thing that I think more companies should do. And that if you leave your company, you should try. And we should play it with you.”

“Yeah. Well, the first thing that I would do is if you look back at my resume, I think I stayed at most jobs for like a year and a half, two years max, until I was at one called First Trust where I was there for five years because I had ownership in the business and I felt like I had skin in the game. I had control of my outcome. But before then, I really only stayed in jobs about a year and a half. The second that they told me I couldn't progress anymore or I couldn't have an option to make more money I left. And so in my opinion, the young generation does have it right that you should not stay at a job for 20 years unless that job continues to allow you to earn more and to learn more. So the second I wasn't earning more and the second I didn't feel like I could learn more exponentially, I left. So that's what I think they should do. And you basically are kind of monkey barring both how much you earn and what you can learn to your next position. And I think that people, too many people start doing entrepreneurs.”

“One sentence of advice. Great. Thank you. Here's how I implemented it again and again, maybe 20 times over the course of two years. And finally, I was in New York and he was in New York. And I pinged him and said, I'd love to take you to dinner. I want to talk to you about a few things. And it was so funny because as we sat down, he goes, this is the weirdest thing. And I thought, oh now what? And he said, I don't really know you, but I feel invested in your success. I was like, I know you do. because I'm dripping on you for two years showing you that a tiny little action which felt like nothing to you actually made a material impact on my life and most people don't get to feel that way”

“Hey, that piece of information you gave me, I just did X, Y, and Z with it. Really helpful. Thank you. No need to reply, just letting you know that you made an impact. And that no need to reply and me following up is so rare. I wish people realized that today, that if you want something, follow through is worth its weight in gold. I mean, one of the other things that we do is when people reach out to us and say stuff like we'd like to do X, Y, Z for you, I say, read this book and I'll give them a random book. And I say, come back to me with a few XYZ questions or things. How many people do you think actually come back? I think I've had five maybe. And so follow through is so rare. And what would happen with these people, and I still do it to this day, I had one guy who was, what was his role? He was quite high up at a company called State Street, and I can't remember what his role was, but he said to me one day I was in New York, I had played that game with him for probably years, like hey, tiny little thing.”

“Oh, yeah. You never want to expect something for a gift given. I call it the 10X rule. So I try to never ask for something unless I have given ten ass, ten x to a person. And we have that across our business too. I think you should do that with young people. So when I was younger, I have a lot of people that I thought of as mentors. They would never know that they were a mentor of mine. And all I would do is I would ask them one question. So I wouldn't go to famous people, but I might go to a normal, you know, kind of high-powered exec in finance or something and say, like, hey, I was wondering, I saw you did this deal over here. I was wondering why you chose to invest in that company versus this company, if you had time for a one-sentence reply, that'd be amazing. And they might reply me one sentence, maybe one out of ten people would. And then I would say thank you. No need to respond further. This was really helpful. I'm going to go implement this in some way. And then I would reach out to them in a couple weeks. And I'd be like,”

“The only thing that spikes is some sort of expertise. You and I are only interested really in one thing. We are interested in somebody who has a understanding of the world that we don't? That can take us one step further, right? You don't need another floor cleaner, you don't need another driver. But if a young kid reached out to you and they said, hey, I've analyzed 542 YouTube videos of yours. Here are the thumbnails that actually work the best. Here's a bunch that you have lately that I don't actually think work. Here's the data driven behind this. I actually put together a few mockups of it for you.”

“And by the way, who has more competition? Everybody's in your in my email inboxes just because we have a lot of followers. I would never go to an influencer and try to play this game. I would go to the guy who runs a sprinkler company that nobody is talking to at all but he makes a ton of money. And then you cozy up to this guy and you go, this is incredible. What do you do? You did this with sprinklers. How much does your company make? Whoa, I want to be like you one day. Can I intern for you or apprentice for you? I'll do whatever you want. Do you know what that is going to feel like to a guy like that, as opposed to me or you? We're going to be like, I don't have time. I have too many interns. So go where the water is the shallowest is what I would start with.”

“So that would be my first point. And I think about that, for instance, you go to school, so everybody goes to school in some way, shape, or form. Who do you know who also goes to your school? Who is the richest kid at your school? Can you get to their dad or their mom? Right. So try to get to who's closest to you that you can physically touch and you can actually engage with that human. I would start there because it's lower stakes. So one, if the richest guy on your block or in your college that's a friend of your, you know, that's a dad of one of your friends owns a big sprinkler company that makes a couple million dollars a year. Start working with that. And while you're there, give yourself a deadline, six months or a year, learning at this level, and then level up. Who's now the richest person times 2x you can get to? I think the biggest problem is people confuse fame with being rich. They go after you and I, we're not the richest people. I mean, we do pretty good, but like, we're not the richest.”

“There's no way, first of all, you're like seven degrees of Kevin Bacon, right? So, what I would say is it's just a number of game. There's somebody. Maybe they're only making a couple hundred K a year, but that's like way more than you could ever imagine. Start there”

“Let's talk about two things. One, if you want to get in front of a rich, powerful person, start with concentric circles. So start with what's closest to you. So for instance, who's the richest guy on your block? Who's the richest guy in your community? Who's the richest guy that you can get to or gal you can get to? Start there.”

“Got a lot of them. What do you need? People, you need hungry little ankle biters that are willing to do whatever it takes. And so people don't like this answer, but it's not like I would do real estate. I would do podcasting. It's go find a person who is so rich but willing to give you a shot for as long as you can.”

“And so if you're young, what I think you do is you get with the biggest badass guy you can find or gal you can find and who's already successful, who you think has the life that you want, and you do everything possible to provide value to them. And that's probably a bunch of sweat equity stuff. That's probably a bunch of bullshit in the beginning. But it's so rare, like intense competence is so rare. And when you're young, I think you throw it away with these ideas of like quiet quitting and not engaging. Like that is your moment to show that fire. And then what happens is you're only going to need to do that for like a year or two with a few players and you're going to move quickly because if you are with people who have a ton of resources, what is your biggest constraint in your business right now? Is it money? Do you not have enough money? Could you raise more if you needed it? Of course. Do you need more attention? No, you get hundreds of millions of views. Do you need more ideas? Probably not.”

“Right. And what do you do with those guys? You're like, I'm going to help you. Why? Because actually you see yourself in them. It's like a weird, selfish father-mother thing we have. We're like, I see you. I remember being you. I'm going to help you.”

“Well, I think it's easier when you're young, if we're honest. When you're young, people who have money, they see themselves in you at an earlier date. If you got that hunger, I mean, one of our rules in hiring is hire people so hungry, you're scared they might bite you. And so when you're young, you know, you've had this happen. You meet a young man who's just got that fire, right? He doesn't know anything, but you can just see in him that he will do whatever it takes. He's here before you. He's here after you. He's coming up with ideas. He's doing jobs to the point where you're like, chill, bro. Like, that's not even your job, right?”

“Well, I mean, time in career, right? I mean, they just have had longer to have access to that industry. And so I don't think there's some big conspiracy theory happening. I think what happened is women haven't had the right to work for as long. Finance is the highest paid industry of all industries that you could go into. It's also one of the most competitive. It also has one of the highest barriers to entry in number of licensing, graduate degrees, et cetera. It's also one of the most competitive to get into those positions. And so, of course, it's going to be dominated by those who have an unfair advantage from more time attempting to do this. I think if history shows us anything recently, there's going to be more women in it going forward.”

“And so, you know, I think a lot of women, first of all, they think it's a little cringe, you know, there's not normalization of it. So, you know, there's never a group where women are getting together on the 19th hole at a golf course and talking about the deals that they did that week. It's very normal for men, right? Where would women all get together to talk about their business aspects? Like, I don't think there exists a container for that. And so I'm big on this belief that everybody should learn how to get money, especially if you're a woman. You don't have to go be a girl boss. And if you want to stay home and take care of the kids and be a trad wife, that's amazing. But understand where your money is located. Understand how it's made in your family. Understand how much things cost, what you spend. And it is, there's nothing more fun than making your first dollar on your own. It's very liberating.”

“Well, perfect example is our audience across socials is about 60 to 65% men. And I'm a woman. And yet it's actually quite hard to get women interested and engaged on these issues.”

“And I do think your body ends up really determining how your brain functions. And Tony's talked about this and a lot of other people that have. So maybe if you don't think you deserve money, I don't know how to fix your brain right away, but I do know how to fix your body, which is just make a big movement that tells your body that money is good for you. Don't make a protective small movement that makes you in fear. Make a big movement that gives you into abundance. And so that stuck with me for a long time.”

“With money So the facilitator said, I want you to picture money. Put your eyes closed, picture money, and then have a visual representation with your body of how you feel when you hear the word money, right? So in my mind, I hear the word money. I go, money, like, yeah, give me more of that. Like it. Big V, right? And yet when I looked and now she said freeze, open your eyes. And so then we open our eyes and we looked around. Could you imagine what most of these high-powered women looked like? It was like fetal position or like money or like money or like money just very small. And that's when I realized, oh, of course they're not going to get a ton of it because that's their feeling with money. And so what she recommended that I have since done with a lot of the women that I've engaged with is say when you think about money, all I want you to do, just make a big expressive movement with your body. Like, am I going to get that salary? Yes, I am. You know, do I want more of it? Give it to me.”

“Yeah, I mean I do think where your body goes, your belief follows. And so I was at this event for women. And it was pretty high up people in finance and only females in the crowd. And it was the first time that I realized that a lot of people have a negative relationship with women because the facilitator asked everybody close their eyes”

“Certainly. I mean, I think the truth of the matter is that if you want to attract things, the best way to get them is to be great yourself. So if you want a great partner, be a great partner. If you want to be rich, you need to start doing things where you're acting rich. And I don't mean by spending, but like what would a rich person do if they wanted to achieve X, Y, and Z? Well, they probably work harder. They surround themselves with different types of people. But then I realized there's so many people that do not believe in themselves. And do have negative stories that have to break before they can take one tactic and do anything. So I think you're right. First, you got to believe it.”

“I mean, first of all, I would just say you're never going to attract it if you don't like it. If you think it's evil, you're certainly not going to make much of it. And that sounds touchy feeling. I'm from Austin and I kind of like crystals. So maybe that is a little touchy feely, but it's the truth of the matter. It's just like women these days who say all men are bad. I can't find a man. I don't like men anywhere. Do you think you're going to find one that way? You know, if you say things like that, are you going to be in partnership? Of course not. You're going to repel them because you don't even like them. So same thing with money. It's very common sense when you think about it. And so I always like to think about money as it's just that tool in your toolbox. It's like, so do I want somebody else to have the chainsaw or do I want it? Well, I'd rather have it because I think I'm a good person and I think that I could help more people with it. And so people really need to lose the emotional attachment to money, especially if it's negative. I think there's a lot bigger issue with too many people thinking money is bad than too many people thinking.”

“And after I left Goldman Sachs, I kind of stay in touch with a few people there, including Bruce. Well, one day I find out Bruce becomes the ambassador to Canada. I was like, Canada, you don't even know if Bruce had been to Canada. Like, he's not a special, how did that happen? And so I started talking to a few other people and I realized, oh, you buy ambassadorships in the U.S. And so you could Google right now and see what the average ambassadorship in the U.S. costs. The answer is about a million dollars directly donated to a president plus a couple million dollars donated in a pack. So Bruce bought the ambassadorship. Never even would enter my equation.”

“Want to be around them because it is contagious in some ways. Ideas are contagious. And this ability to see into the future, I think, is contagious. You know, if you think about it like you're driving in a car, the faster the car is going, the farther the headlights have to be able to peer into the future. Otherwise, you're going to blow off a cliff. And so I think when people are moving really fast, they have a lot of money and they have big risk to the things they do, their headlights are just a little bit farther than the rest of us. And so I got really lucky because I chose finance. Finance is full of people who are obsessed with money. I think there's a lot of, you know, ethical issues in that industry. But all around me were rich people. So I remember one instance really, really well. And that was, I was in Chicago at the time. I was working at Goldman Sachs. And the head of the Chicago office was a guy by the name Bruce. And Bruce was a good guy. He ran the fixed income division.”

“Sure. I think the, well, there's actually studies showing something called economic interconnectedness, which basically shows that, say, you have a poor neighborhood to the left and a poor neighborhood to the right. socioeconomic status. So they both make them around the same amount of money. If this neighborhood just has a few rich people in it, even though on average the neighborhoods are the same, and people in the poor neighborhood interact with rich people a little bit more on the left than they do on the right, if you go 30 years down the line, the kids that just had a few more interactions with rich people are going to be richer on average by thirty five percent than the people in the same neighborhood to the right, except with less economic interconnectedness. And so what that tells me is, as often as possible, you want to be around people who are richer than you. Sounds obvious, kind of, but I don't think it's that obvious. You don't have to live next to them. You don't have to have their money.”

You do it when you're young. You do all the worst things when you're young, but then for the rest of your life, you're a fucking former Navy SEAL. You're set because you front-loaded the pain.”

“100%. You can't have the same stamina. I mean, I was weightlifting the other day and I was showing my less strong friend next to me like, this is how you do a deadlift. And here's what I put another plate on there and then, you know, blew up my hip, you know, and I'm like, now I'm in like back pain. And, you know, I'm 37. I do not have the same stamina I had when I was 25. Physically you decline, mentally you decline, and I think your work ethic declines too. And so, you know, it's really hard to keep going for 20 years at 12 hour long days. You can do it, but it's much easier when you're 20. And so if you know that, then no, let's front load the pain so that in my 30s, we can have a lot of fun. You know, my husband who you met is former Navy SEAL, and we always talk about how I think the only reason we're kind of successful is we just said, what are the worst jobs we can take when we're young, where we can learn the most, we can hopefully, I think.”

“It's there. Like it's there. It's real. It sucks. And I wish somebody had told me that because these days everybody's like, no, you can be a 20 year old and drive a Bugatti and, you know, I don't know, play around with crypto. Not real. Not real. And then once I learned like, okay, this sucks and I can deal with it. Then the next thing would be everybody focuses on how much money you make when you're in your 20s. Huge mistake. The only thing you should focus on is learning. How can I think about my salary like putting pieces of cash into my brain? How can I learn as much as possible? How can I come and work an apprentice for somebody that I think I might want their life one day? And I'll take the minimum amount of cash that I need in order to fill my brain so that my next step can be to make more money. But in the beginning, too many people obsess on money and I wish I hadn't thought that way. I'd rather learn than earn when I'm young.”

“The best advice for twenty year old is to realize that your twenties do suck, that you are probably drinking too much, you're hanging out with people that aren't the best versions of themselves, neither are you. You've got crazy hormones going on. You're going to bars and hanging out with people having a few dramatic drinks, and then go into a job you kind of hate because you're brand new into the workforce. And so, of course, you're doing the worst thing humanly possible. And that's going to continue for like five to ten years. Like you are going to do a $65,000 a year job for two or three years. And it sucks and you're going to have no time for anything except what your boss asks of you. And I wish people had told me that because if you see the light at the end of the tunnel, you're like, oh, okay. Like I can do this for two or three years. I can learn. I can grow and I can suck it up for two to three years. And then after that, I get a little bit better and a little bit better and a little bit better. And so the advice would be when you have a foot in your nail, which is what it's like when you start your first job being 20, don't, you know, try to ignore the fact that it's...”

“You saw it during COVID. People left big cities, right? They bought houses in Cape Town or somewhere out in rural areas, right? They got away from the corporate job in office, in suits, and realized, God, I don't want a 75 minute commute. I maybe want a little bit of fresh air into chicken coops, a lot of chicken coops these days. And so because of that, they got interested in these small businesses, these community businesses. And so I think I got a little bit lucky in the fact that that was interesting to me. I've done it for years. I've invested in those things forever. I started writing about on the internet. And then we got a lot of views. And now all of a sudden, there are millions of people that talk about buying these small businesses or what we call boring businesses.”

“Existential question, you know, I'm a former finance investor for 15 plus years, investment banking, asset management, who finally, because COVID happened, took a little breather, realized that I didn't want to be like the managing directors that I saw all around me, and started writing stuff online because I wasn't doing roadshows, selling investments and investing people's money for a year or whatever that was. And because of that, Started writing about the things that I do. And I kind of thought, no.”

“Gut says yes It's only not accessible to you if you're a lazy piece of shit that wants to do nothing. You know if you really want only to be given things and you want to ask permission all the time and you aren't willing to work a little bit earlier in the morning and work a little bit later in the evening, then you should turn this off just like I don't know what they're probably not watching you anyway if that's this type of human that's not you guys but for that type of human, this isn't going to work because nothing that I offer is get rich quick or go buy this stock. That's not going to work but it is things that I think”

“How to make more money and why it matters that you make more money. That's really it. Because I think money is just a tool. It's a tool in your toolbox for you to be able to have more freedom, to do more things, and to say no more often and to say, actually, I don't want to do that at all. And because I don't want to do that, I need money to push back. And so by the end of this conversation, I think you should have a few ideas to be a little bit richer and a little bit more free.”

“Lowest level of all time Fox at the highest was one hundred eighty six thousand. Think about what is happening right in front of us. The media is no longer actually reaching the masses because they've lost complete trust with them. In fact, 30-year-olds right now for the first time ever, 30-year-olds have more trust in you, social media influencers than they do the mainstream media. It's not the same for all age groups. But that is what I am seeing right in front of us, is we're like, show me what's real because I do not trust puppets who parrot things from teleprompters. They know that you and I are having a real conversation. There's no teleprompter in sight. When you look at your notes, you look at your notes. It's real. And I think that is what I'm realizing with our message. We have to be honest because nobody trusts anybody right now.”

“interesting. It's hard right now to not think about politics in some way, shape or form. And so I think when I think about politics today, what I really think about is who's in charge, right? And so I do think about why does one politician hit a chord? Why does one not? And I think when I think about my message. What hits me closest to home is that for some reason, a message right now is feeling true for many people in the world that there's a lack of trust, like trust in institutions, trust in governments and big corporations in the media. You know, I saw yesterday an article about CNN. This is fascinating. How many views do you think CNN got in primetime for one week, three-hour segments every day, primetime for one week in May?”

“BlackRock, Blackstone, most billionaires who already know this. I mean, I think that is the answer, though. The message will not resonate with people who think that they should own everything and other people should ask for permission. It won't resonate with people who don't want to work kind of hard. It sucks to be an owner. Anybody who's ever run a business has felt inside that horrible feeling on Friday when you don't have enough cash and payrolls coming and you've got to figure out what to sell or what to give up in order to pay your employees. That's an awful feeling. So it's not for people that aren't willing to do the hard thing. But, you know, it kind of goes back to what we know to be true. It sucks being broke just as much as it sucks working hard. And so choose your heart.”

“It would be the only way to have freedom is through ownership and the world doesn't want to give it to you. and that message is for Every human who's felt disenfranchised and is a little bit of tired of other people directing their lives and wishes that they had their hand on the helm instead And I think in today's day and age, ownership is something that people on high say is bad. You know, fuck the big guys, the rich people, the owners. And in reality, that's just them saying they want to be in charge instead of you.”

“Step one get with the biggest badass guy or gal you can find who's already successful and you do everything possible to provide value to them. And by the way, it sucks. But the best advice for a 20-year-old is to realize that your 20s do suck, but everybody focuses on how much money you make and start doing entrepreneurship too early. Oh, you can be a 20-year-old and drive a Bugatti and play around with crypto. Huge mistake. Focus on learning. And you're going to have no time for anything except what your boss asks of you. But if you want to win and be successful in life, upfront pain always leads to long-term gain.”
