00:11:04.000 Hey guys, welcome back to the show.
00:11:05.000 We have today Amrender and Meghano for Monday Monday.
00:11:08.000 Let's go.
00:11:09.000 Let's go.
00:11:38.000 All right, we're live.
00:11:59.000 What's up, guys?
00:12:00.000 Welcome to the Fresh Podcast, Man.
00:12:02.000 Regular Edition is Money Monday.
00:12:04.000 We've got some special guests.
00:12:05.000 Do we have any chats to get into right away?
00:12:07.000 I think we're good to go.
00:12:08.000 But this is the best show we do Money Mondays, man.
00:12:11.000 Business, finances, and personal development.
00:12:15.000 Welcome to the show.
00:12:16.000 We know who you are, but they may not.
00:12:18.000 So, Ember.
00:12:19.000 Thanks for having us, Preston Fit.
00:12:20.000 My name is Emeritor Kempoch.
00:12:22.000 I'm the CEO and founder of Campoch Ventures.
00:12:24.000 This is my right-hand guy.
00:12:25.000 Meet the other Robusta.
00:12:26.000 We've known each other since what?
00:12:28.000 14?
00:12:28.000 14, 15 years old.
00:12:30.000 You know, and then we, when I had the GNCs, he started working for me.
00:12:34.000 Then he moved to Arizona.
00:12:35.000 And then after that, when it came to the e-commerce, he asked me a couple questions.
00:12:38.000 And I tried to help his brand out, but he was busy with some other things.
00:12:41.000 And then after that, I bought his.
00:12:43.000 I acquired his store.
00:12:44.000 From there, it was like, I think two or three months later or something like that.
00:12:47.000 Yeah.
00:12:47.000 I flipped that store up and I showed him the screenshot.
00:12:49.000 He's like, dude, I want Ian.
00:12:51.000 And then I flew to Phoenix and then we started talking and everything.
00:12:54.000 And then ever since then, he's like, dude, I'm quit my job.
00:12:56.000 This is what I want to do.
00:12:56.000 And then from there, we just blew it up from there.
00:12:59.000 Straight wolf of Wall Street moment, bro.
00:13:02.000 He flew and he was like, he was like, I want to show you what your store's doing.
00:13:05.000 He's like, I 10x did it.
00:13:06.000 I was like, you show me that 10x.
00:13:07.000 I was like, I'll quit my job right now.
00:13:09.000 And yeah, here we are two years later.
00:13:12.000 So question: if I just want to confirm, you've done over $300 million plus in sales?
00:13:17.000 In revenue, yeah, with all the companies put together.
00:13:20.000 That's a lot of money.
00:13:20.000 So we're in what?
00:13:21.000 Canada, U.S., London, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai.
00:13:26.000 We're doing some work with King of Ghana.
00:13:29.000 King of Ghana.
00:13:30.000 We're doing some stuff in health stuff in what is it?
00:13:32.000 Was it Yogana?
00:13:33.000 Yogana?
00:13:34.000 Yeah, so we've got a lot of things going on.
00:13:35.000 So just for the audience for them to learn and understand really what you do, can you go in more detail what you do for business?
00:13:41.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:13:41.000 So our main business started in 2018 when it came with e-commerce, you know, selling products online, Shopify, creating our own brands and everything.
00:13:47.000 And then from there, we stemmed into more of the warehousing.
00:13:50.000 Then we went to financing.
00:13:52.000 Then we went to business coaching because a lot of the business, a lot of what happened was a lot of our investors, they were like small to medium business owners.
00:13:59.000 So then when we started growing, they started asking me questions.
00:14:01.000 So I'll give them feedback, right?
00:14:03.000 And then one guy comes into up to me, I think, 221 or 22, I can't recall.
00:14:07.000 And he goes, hey, look, homie, you, you've skilled a lot of businesses.
00:14:11.000 You're doing phenomenal.
00:14:12.000 I don't know anybody else in the area that's done this, right?
00:14:15.000 I want to start this new company.
00:14:16.000 And it was an HVAC company.
00:14:18.000 Can you help me rather than me trial and error and kind of doing it by myself?
00:14:22.000 Can you help me do this?
00:14:23.000 So they're like all right, fine.
00:14:24.000 So then I was like, he was like, I'll pay you.
00:14:26.000 And I'm like, dude, like, we'll figure that out later, but let's just see what it is.
00:14:30.000 And then from there, you know, just created a whole business plan.
00:14:32.000 I brought my business strategists, my marketing team and XYZ. 0.56
00:14:35.000 We spent like a week doing all the stuff.
00:14:38.000 From there, that's where the thing started of helping other businesses other coaching.
00:14:42.000 And then from there, it was beneficial for us because then we started partnering with a lot of people too.
00:14:47.000 So we started partnering with a lot of HVAC companies, car wash companies.
00:14:51.000 So we were either bringing the capital, the strategies, whatever was needed if it made sense.
00:14:56.000 Does that make sense?
00:14:56.000 It's not every business that we can just plug and play type of thing.
00:14:59.000 It has to make sense.
00:15:00.000 Because what I'm trying to say, it has to make sense is I have to be able to bring the value onto the table.
00:15:07.000 Like me, I don't know the podcast world.
00:15:07.000 Does that make sense?
00:15:09.000 So there's no point in me partnering up with Fresher Fit. 0.53
00:15:12.000 Does that make sense?
00:15:13.000 Yeah.
00:15:14.000 But in other certain areas, we can.
00:15:17.000 You know.
00:15:18.000 Yeah.
00:15:18.000 Yeah.
00:15:18.000 Yes.
00:15:19.000 And Miguel, what do you do for the company?
00:15:21.000 So my actual role itself is VP of sales.
00:15:25.000 But just because of the rate that we're moving, I do podcasts too now, apparently.
00:15:31.000 There you go.
00:15:32.000 I do a lot of the business relationships as well.
00:15:34.000 So whenever there is a strategic partnership that makes sense, what I do is I'm the first line.
00:15:40.000 So I'll sit down, I'll have the meeting, I'll discuss the business, we'll go over the financials and see if there is any value that we can bring to the company.
00:15:46.000 And then from there, it moves up the chain upwards to MREnder.
00:15:48.000 And then from there, we, you know, finalize the contract, partnership, you know, whatever that looks like.
00:15:54.000 So recently we saw in the actual news cycle, a CEO caught on camera at a full-play event, right?
00:16:02.000 So listen, I know you're a CEO yourself.
00:16:05.000 What's your tech on that, bro?
00:16:06.000 Because that was crazy.
00:16:07.000 He got caught and stepped down immediately after from his board, I guess.
00:16:10.000 But like, what's your thoughts on that, bro?
00:16:13.000 There's two different things that I'm thinking of, man.
00:16:16.000 One is, okay, is it cool?
00:16:19.000 You're married too, right?
00:16:20.000 Yeah.
00:16:21.000 So is it cool to dip into somebody's privacy?
00:16:24.000 Okay, that's one thing.
00:16:25.000 And then was it earlier today that you were saying you saw something, you read something about like the wife for a new or something like that?
00:16:32.000 So I had, again, TikTok conspiracy.
00:16:35.000 So I had actually seen something that supposedly the wife had already knew that this guy had been cheating for some time.
00:16:40.000 And it was a whole setup to where, you know, she knew that he was going to be there.
00:16:43.000 He knew that he was going to be there with the woman he was having an affair with.
00:16:46.000 And basically, long story short, she basically played it out to where he would be caught on camera.
00:16:51.000 Because at the end of the day, the other girl that was there, she, again, allegedly would be the next one up in line to take over, you know, an HR position or some sort of manager position if the CEO and then the head of HR were to step down.
00:17:07.000 And then obviously the wife ends up with half, you know how that goes.
00:17:11.000 But again, just rabbit hole.
00:17:12.000 You think it was planned?
00:17:14.000 It sounds like it, right?
00:17:14.000 It could be.
00:17:16.000 But then the other thing is like, okay, if you're a CEO of this big company, right?
00:17:19.000 Why are you being a dumbass doing this publicly?
00:17:21.000 Publicly.
00:17:22.000 Like box seats and everything.
00:17:23.000 Does that make sense?
00:17:24.000 Yeah.
00:17:25.000 Like just mixing the crowd or some shit.
00:17:26.000 Figure that shit out.
00:17:27.000 But why would you publicly do that stuff?
00:17:28.000 Okay, it's a question.
00:17:29.000 I'm not saying it's you, but if that were you and you were the guy that got caught, would you step down or what would you do?
00:17:35.000 Step down from the company?
00:17:37.000 He stepped away from it, yeah.
00:17:38.000 Yeah, there's no point.
00:17:39.000 That has to do nothing with your business, though.
00:17:41.000 Does that make sense?
00:17:42.000 That has to do nothing with your business.
00:17:43.000 I agree.
00:17:44.000 That's your personal life.
00:17:45.000 This is what I've noticed, Walter.
00:17:48.000 What happens is you've got to disquiet between personal and business, right?
00:17:54.000 And there's a lot of people that say out there, work-life balance.
00:17:57.000 There's no such thing as work-life balance, right?
00:17:59.000 Your work becomes your life balance, right?
00:18:02.000 That's how it works.
00:18:03.000 So if you have a lady, she needs to know that whatever happens in the business, you got kids or whatever the hell is. 1.00
00:18:09.000 And I see this a lot, right?
00:18:11.000 Women start, they start freaking out. 1.00
00:18:12.000 Oh, you're traveling, you're doing this and all kind of stuff, but they forget is that the guy is sacrificing his time with his family and kids so you can freaking go to sleep and be okay.
00:18:22.000 You have the nice car and all that kind of stuff because of this guy sacrificing all that stuff.
00:18:26.000 Yep.
00:18:26.000 100%, right?
00:18:27.000 And then the other thing is, too, is like, you have to understand, like, when it comes to that, why would you dip out?
00:18:27.000 You know?
00:18:32.000 It's not like you did anything wrong for the company.
00:18:35.000 It has to do nothing with the damn company.
00:18:36.000 Yeah, sure.
00:18:37.000 She was your HR manager and all that kind of stuff.
00:18:38.000 That's, that's another stupid thing to do, right?
00:18:41.000 But it's like, you shouldn't step down just because you did that.
00:18:44.000 Because we don't know what happened in his personal life.
00:18:46.000 Maybe him and his wife, they weren't getting along.
00:18:48.000 But he had some emotional relationship because of this woman and she were propelling him to become a better person.
00:18:53.000 We don't know.
00:18:54.000 Does that make sense?
00:18:55.000 Yeah, I shouldn't have stepped down.
00:18:57.000 Yeah.
00:18:57.000 That was fucking pussy for him to step down.
00:18:59.000 I agree.
00:19:00.000 Yeah.
00:19:00.000 But was it the board or was it him?
00:19:02.000 I'm not too sure.
00:19:04.000 Yeah.
00:19:04.000 I'm not too sure.
00:19:05.000 There might have been some pressure.
00:19:06.000 Hey, investors are pissed off.
00:19:08.000 But Myra, let me ask you this, though.
00:19:10.000 Miguel was telling me is after that happened, how many percent increase was there on views of the company?
00:19:16.000 So I don't know the exact percentage because I don't want to get quoted on it, but I know that their actual search via Google had went up tremendously.
00:19:22.000 So people that didn't know the actual company, like for instance, like myself, I didn't know who Astronomer was or whatever the company was.
00:19:29.000 Nobody knew.
00:19:31.000 Yeah, no clue.
00:19:32.000 But then you start running up, you know, like after this whole scandal, all the Google searches, you know, who's Andy, who's, you know, who's his company, everything like that.
00:19:38.000 And then, I mean, shit, like from what I've read, I've read that investors haven't pulled money whatsoever.
00:19:43.000 Yeah.
00:19:44.000 So is it the insertion?
00:19:45.000 I asked when Miguel said that during lunch, I asked him, I was like, Miguel, so let me ask you this: Do you think it has to do something that's more of like a play to beat competition?
00:19:54.000 Because think about it.
00:19:55.000 It's more eyeballs in the thing.
00:19:56.000 Does that make sense?
00:19:58.000 Yeah, I mean, the other thing, too, is that like what I've realized is like normies just can't deal with attention on the internet.
00:20:03.000 Like, you know, the average person, nobody gives a fuck about their life.
00:20:06.000 Nobody cares.
00:20:06.000 They're able to live fairly private, right?
00:20:09.000 Someone who might be an influencer is on camera more in the internet.
00:20:12.000 We're used to getting attention is what we're supposed to do.
00:20:14.000 But like regular people are not used to that.
00:20:16.000 And then not only getting attention, but a lot of negative attention, they don't know how to deal with that.
00:20:20.000 Like this guy's older, probably doesn't even know how Instagram works, barely knows.
00:20:24.000 People are DMing him.
00:20:25.000 You're a cheater, you're a blah, blah. 0.99
00:20:26.000 Like, oh my God, what do I do?
00:20:26.000 He's probably losing his mind.
00:20:28.000 Because it's always funny because I've had a couple buddies that they want to get into the internet and do content.
00:20:34.000 And then they'll make their first viral video and they don't know how to fucking deal with it.
00:20:37.000 Remember Casey?
00:20:38.000 When he went viral, he didn't know the heat.
00:20:38.000 Yeah.
00:20:40.000 It was like, oh my God, why am I getting so much at?
00:20:40.000 He couldn't handle it.
00:20:43.000 A lot of people, everyone wants to be famous, but they don't want to deal with the problems that come with being famous.
00:20:48.000 Which is like criticism for people you don't know, getting attacked all the time.
00:20:52.000 It can end up, boys.
00:20:53.000 Well, yeah.
00:20:54.000 Undertaker bone.
00:20:55.000 Yeah, to a degree.
00:20:55.000 Yeah, they're not used to it.
00:20:56.000 Yeah, to this level?
00:20:57.000 Yeah, for sure.
00:20:57.000 Yeah.
00:20:59.000 So I just say that because my assumption is, you know what?
00:21:02.000 If this happens at this scale and they get mainstream used for their business, shit, any amount of scandal.
00:21:08.000 What the fuck?
00:21:09.000 At least, you know what, to get attention?
00:21:10.000 That's another way to get that.
00:21:10.000 Yeah.
00:21:12.000 I thought the only reason he probably resigned is because they're like, yo, investors are going to pull out or you're hurting the brand.
00:21:17.000 I think it was more from a business perspective.
00:21:19.000 But if you're saying nobody even pulled out, then he's just a bitch then. 1.00
00:21:21.000 That makes even worse for him.
00:21:22.000 Why walk away from it for nothing?
00:21:25.000 That makes zero sense to me.
00:21:26.000 So listen, I want to know for the audience here, let's say someone's 21 years old, they want to get into business, how should they start?
00:21:34.000 Like the main thing where a lot of people they're lagging is like I was saying off camera as well, too, it's AI technology right now, right?
00:21:41.000 I've seen, there's a company called, I think it's called Kluey.
00:21:44.000 So we're doing research on this company.
00:21:46.000 It's a 20, 20 year old, 21 year old developer.
00:21:48.000 And he created this company where basically you have it on your Google Chrome and it listens to you and it'll give you feedback.
00:21:54.000 So let's just say if you and I were doing an interview and I could click on there, what's a follow-up question on this?
00:22:00.000 Right.
00:22:00.000 So Fresh is saying something, what's a follow-up question on this?
00:22:03.000 And it'll give you good feedback.
00:22:05.000 Say this, try this, try this.
00:22:07.000 So a lot of companies, they used it for pretty much interviewing too.
00:22:11.000 And then a lot of people who are giving interviews in their jobs, they have it also.
00:22:14.000 So this sounds smart and you can't even tell if it's on or not.
00:22:18.000 But what I'm trying to say is that guy who created it was, he quit college.
00:22:23.000 He's 21.
00:22:24.000 He's 20 or 21 years old, bro.
00:22:26.000 And the company is doing phenomenal.
00:22:26.000 Right.
00:22:28.000 Every single buddy in the, every single one that's in the company is very young.
00:22:32.000 It's either a developer or it's someone who has no business experience, but it's just developing and testing.
00:22:38.000 That's all it is.
00:22:39.000 And then it goes back to, so we're, we're doing some research and we were debating.
00:22:39.000 Right.
00:22:43.000 We do a lot of case studies in our company, right?
00:22:45.000 So I was like, so what do you think about this company?
00:22:47.000 Oh, it's phenomenal XYZ.
00:22:48.000 But I was like, do you guys remember the companies called American Apparel back in the day?
00:22:51.000 Yeah, back in the day.
00:22:52.000 American Apparel.
00:22:53.000 Okay.
00:22:54.000 Why did American Apparel go down?
00:22:56.000 They got bought up?
00:22:57.000 No.
00:22:58.000 They had to shut down.
00:22:59.000 Why?
00:23:00.000 Because the company had no business person in the company.
00:23:05.000 They had this one crazy guy who's really good at building brands, but there's a thing called SOPs, KPIs, HR, all that kind of stuff.
00:23:14.000 Legal stuff.
00:23:15.000 Compliance is a big thing, right?
00:23:17.000 He didn't follow any of that.
00:23:18.000 The dude was freaking butt-naked just walking around his factory. 0.88
00:23:23.000 You're right.
00:23:23.000 Okay.
00:23:24.000 So it's the same thing.
00:23:25.000 What I'm trying to say is here is how far is this company going to go if there's no business type of guy who's not a strategy type of guy?
00:23:31.000 Right.
00:23:31.000 You need that part.
00:23:33.000 As you're going, imagine if you get to a company, it's easy going from zero to, let's just say, one million.
00:23:38.000 Then one to five million is a different strategy.
00:23:40.000 It's what are you doing?
00:23:41.000 And then it's who and then how.
00:23:44.000 And then when you get to 25 to 50, it's again, it repeats.
00:23:47.000 But then your leadership board teams changes, right?
00:23:50.000 And then when you get to the point where you're like 75 in a million, that's when everything changes.
00:23:54.000 That's when your HR changes.
00:23:56.000 Your complete structure of things changes.
00:23:59.000 Now you have leaders who are managing other teams and then other teams and other teams and other teams.
00:24:03.000 And then nowadays, since we have a lot of technology, we're able to use a lot of VAs from across the world.
00:24:10.000 It makes it a lot easier for us to spread and grow our companies a lot further.
00:24:14.000 But if somebody who's 20, 21 years old and doesn't have that experience, imagine how many mistakes they're going to do when they get that money coming in quick.
00:24:21.000 Blow it.
00:24:22.000 Does that make sense?
00:24:23.000 They're just developers.
00:24:24.000 They're not business guys.
00:24:25.000 And what do I always say about engineers and developers?
00:24:25.000 Right?
00:24:28.000 Why I don't like them?
00:24:29.000 They're never going to be successful business people.
00:24:30.000 Because they're not business people.
00:24:31.000 They're too NL.
00:24:32.000 Why?
00:24:32.000 Because they want the perfect product.
00:24:34.000 In business, there's no perfect product.
00:24:36.000 If there's a perfect product, why are we on iPhone 17 that's about to be released?
00:24:40.000 Right?
00:24:41.000 Yeah.
00:24:42.000 So you need an innovator and you need a business person to do that and you need a developer to do all that stuff.
00:24:47.000 But the business person is going to tell the developer or engineer to push the product and you just keep renovating it.
00:24:53.000 It's better to put a subpart product at a perfect time than to put a perfect product out at a shitty time.
00:24:58.000 Yeah.
00:24:59.000 1,000%.
00:24:59.000 Yeah, 1,000%.
00:25:01.000 And then the other thing is too, business, they don't give a shit about the perfect product.
00:25:03.000 All they think about revenue and profits.
00:25:05.000 That's how you grow a company.
00:25:05.000 That's it.
00:25:07.000 Revenue and profits at the end of the day.
00:25:08.000 Because if you don't got profits generating, how are we going to continue to improve the product?
00:25:12.000 I agree.
00:25:13.000 Not only that, too.
00:25:14.000 Sorry, I don't mean to cut you off ultra.
00:25:16.000 But one of the biggest things that we talk about too when it comes to customers and acquiring a customer.
00:25:19.000 So like, for instance, we were just talking about this right now, you know, when it comes to a podcast.
00:25:23.000 People want to come back and watch over and over and over and over again.
00:25:26.000 How do you retarget that customer over and over and over again?
00:25:29.000 Right.
00:25:30.000 You buy the iPhone 15.
00:25:30.000 iPhone.
00:25:32.000 A new one comes out.
00:25:33.000 You purchase that one.
00:25:33.000 The 17 is going to come out.
00:25:34.000 You're going to upgrade again.
00:25:35.000 Once you get a customer, it's how many times can we sell to this customer?
00:25:39.000 I need to buy a pair of AirPods.
00:25:40.000 I need a charger.
00:25:41.000 Like, why is it that for the longest time, you could only get an Apple charger for your cell phone when everything else was universal?
00:25:46.000 It's how can you repurpose and how can you retarget that same customer over and over and over to get as much revenue out of them as possible?
00:25:53.000 That's the other thing, too, is what we build in our company as an ecosystem.
00:25:58.000 We use the Apple theory.
00:25:59.000 Once you buy an Apple product, you're not going anywhere else.
00:25:59.000 Think about it.
00:26:02.000 you got an iPhone, you got an iPad, you got an AirPod, you got a MacBook, right?
00:26:06.000 Everything's Apple product.
00:26:07.000 Why?
00:26:08.000 They're geniuses, and I don't know why they sync up together too.
00:26:12.000 Correct.
00:26:12.000 That's the whole beauty of it.
00:26:13.000 It's easy, bro.
00:26:14.000 Right?
00:26:15.000 So now think about all these companies that are out there from small, medium, and large, right?
00:26:19.000 Why aren't we creating other horizontals and verticals in the company, adding more stuff so the customer lifetime value increases?
00:26:26.000 Good point.
00:26:27.000 Yeah.
00:26:28.000 Right?
00:26:28.000 That's the whole thing.
00:26:30.000 So you're saying in a nutshell, learn AI when you're young.
00:26:33.000 Correct.
00:26:33.000 If you can't get a partnership and learn the system to create ecosystems that it could join in and stay a part of your correct.
00:26:39.000 Yeah.
00:26:40.000 Yeah.
00:26:40.000 And then find a mentor who's already done it and do whatever it takes to learn from him.
00:26:45.000 Right?
00:26:46.000 It's either, dude, this was last year.
00:26:49.000 There's a guy.
00:26:51.000 He came to our conference in Cabo and I come back.
00:26:54.000 This is literally last year, bro.
00:26:54.000 Okay.
00:26:56.000 We're already doing 300-something million dollars.
00:26:58.000 And I'm, you know, I'm talking to him and everything.
00:27:01.000 I'm like, dude, okay, shit.
00:27:02.000 He's a board member of fucking 26 goddamn companies.
00:27:04.000 Goddamn.
00:27:05.000 I'm only a board member of 10 companies.
00:27:08.000 He's been in the game for a very long time.
00:27:09.000 So, you know what I did?
00:27:10.000 I called him.
00:27:11.000 I was like, hey, bro, I had a great time conversation and I learned a lot from you, right?
00:27:15.000 Okay.
00:27:16.000 I want to be in your office and wherever you go for 30 days and I'll pay you whatever it takes.
00:27:20.000 So why?
00:27:21.000 Hey, yo, pause.
00:27:22.000 Huh?
00:27:23.000 Sorry, go ahead.
00:27:24.000 And then he said, but why?
00:27:25.000 Right?
00:27:26.000 And then I said, look, bro, you're a board member of so many different companies and you acquired a lot of companies.
00:27:32.000 You skilled a lot of companies, right?
00:27:34.000 I want to learn every single thing, what type of conversations you're having, whatever you're doing.
00:27:39.000 Obviously, you're doing something right.
00:27:40.000 I want to learn from that.
00:27:41.000 What I'm trying to say, what the point I'm trying to make is I want to get to that level, right?
00:27:45.000 So you always got to be learning no matter what happens.
00:27:48.000 You can't stop.
00:27:48.000 Can't stop.
00:27:49.000 And that's what I've noticed a lot of people nowadays, they stop freaking learning.
00:27:53.000 So look at me.
00:27:53.000 I can afford him to pay him.
00:27:55.000 Or I said, dude, I'll work for a company for 30 damn days and put my company on pause because I'm going to learn something, bring that back to my company and my company's value is going to increase.
00:28:02.000 I only need to learn one or three things, you know?
00:28:05.000 And then from there, boom, boom, watch what happens.
00:28:07.000 But that's what a lot of people, they don't do.
00:28:09.000 Have you seen Ashton Hall's video, his morning routine?
00:28:13.000 No, I haven't, honestly.
00:28:14.000 Besides the whole water cold thing.
00:28:15.000 Yeah, Saratoga.
00:28:17.000 So his routine is funny, of course, but every person has a routine.
00:28:21.000 What's your routine?
00:28:22.000 So I wake up in the morning at five o'clock.
00:28:24.000 And the first thing I do is I make my little water drink and all that kind of stuff to get the white, the, what is it, sunlight.
00:28:24.000 Okay.
00:28:29.000 And then after I do red light therapy.
00:28:30.000 And then what I try to do is for at least 30 to 20 minutes, close my eyes and just meditate.
00:28:35.000 And it's important because we're talking to so many people.
00:28:38.000 We're doing so many different things.
00:28:40.000 We forget to reflect on ourselves as who we really are.
00:28:42.000 You want to talk to yourself.
00:28:43.000 And it's really important because you want to know yourself before you start helping other people out.
00:28:47.000 No?
00:28:47.000 Good point.
00:28:48.000 Right.
00:28:48.000 So then after that, yeah, I just get charged up.
00:28:50.000 My son's there.
00:28:51.000 Wake them up, get them ready and all that kind of stuff, get charged up.
00:28:53.000 And on my way to work, I usually listen to a podcast or make some of my high phone calls, which I know are going to lift up my energy and everything.
00:29:01.000 Boom, get into the office and we're going. 0.57
00:29:02.000 And then after that, obviously towards the end of the day, go get a little workout in one hour, hour and a half.
00:29:09.000 Sometimes I'll be like at the gym training, but I'll call Miguel.
00:29:12.000 We're discussing a business or something like that as I'm still training, but I'm doing two things at once, trying to be as productive as possible.
00:29:18.000 We all have 24 hours, right?
00:29:19.000 But the theory I like to use is, is in the 24 hours, how come Elon Musk is able to do so many other things and he runs the most successful companies in the world?
00:29:28.000 Why is that?
00:29:29.000 He's just more productive than we are.
00:29:32.000 He utilizes his time more efficiently, doesn't he?
00:29:35.000 He actually doesn't.
00:29:35.000 He has a lot of people that he hires, but that's fine.
00:29:38.000 Elon Musk is a fucking loser, but that's a whole other conversation.
00:29:42.000 Yeah, like he's fucking bam me and shit like that. 0.98
00:29:46.000 But yeah, he just has a bunch of other people do it for him.
00:29:48.000 But here's the thing.
00:29:50.000 That's a good business technique.
00:29:52.000 You don't know what the fuck you're doing.
00:29:53.000 You leverage, you know, H1B visa people and you leverage other people and steal their shit and just claim it as your own. 0.63
00:29:58.000 That's what he does.
00:29:59.000 Work smart and not hard.
00:30:00.000 But it works for him.
00:30:00.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:30:01.000 Yeah, I know.
00:30:02.000 It works because he was able to build a business on, you know, using other people's talents and claims all the credit, which is still a genius move.
00:30:09.000 Bill Gates as well.
00:30:10.000 Yeah, Bill Gates.
00:30:11.000 Yeah.
00:30:12.000 So he got me in trouble on Twitter, so I don't want to disagree with him too much.
00:30:16.000 I was personal with that.
00:30:17.000 Yeah, bro.
00:30:18.000 He's a hater.
00:30:19.000 Myers get all fired up.
00:30:20.000 Yeah.
00:30:21.000 Fucking guy, man.
00:30:22.000 But yeah, sorry.
00:30:25.000 So I guess with the routine, that's one thing.
00:30:27.000 But let's say someone watching here, because you guys are young, coming up.
00:30:30.000 They want to make money as well.
00:30:32.000 Obviously, learn from mentor.
00:30:33.000 Other than obviously getting into the business world, what can they do to kind of like, I guess, accelerate this growth in business, you would say?
00:30:42.000 First thing is, I don't see a lot of people reading a lot of books, right?
00:30:45.000 They do not, that's the information right there, man.
00:30:48.000 You know, there's so many good books out there, like Patrick Bedavis in your next five booths.
00:30:52.000 You know, if you don't know what you're going to do for the next five years, it's what I like to say is like a man is the one, the most dangerous man is the one who's disciplined, determined, and knows exactly where he wants to go.
00:31:02.000 Right.
00:31:02.000 So that's why I ask everybody is what's your five-year plan?
00:31:05.000 If you don't know your five-year plan, then how are you supposed to know which direction you want to go?
00:31:09.000 So anybody that wants to partner with me or work with me, I always ask the question, we create a five-year plan, then we go from there, right?
00:31:15.000 So for us, it's like if you're, if you're becoming a lawyer or a doctor or something like that and you can't even work and you want to work with us, what's the point?
00:31:20.000 You're going to waste our time.
00:31:22.000 It doesn't integrate with us.
00:31:22.000 Does that make sense?
00:31:24.000 And then from there, yeah, so definitely focus on the five-year plan.
00:31:27.000 Start reading the books according to what you want to do and just start reading more podcasts, listen to podcasts and everything.
00:31:33.000 Cut the bullshit of having bad friends.
00:31:35.000 You know, that's another thing.
00:31:36.000 A lot of people have shittier friends.
00:31:38.000 You know, so you have, that's the hardest thing to do.
00:31:40.000 I mean, I let go of my majority of my family, even my parents too, for almost like two years to stop talking to them because they were bringing so much negativity on the table every single time I would try to do something.
00:31:49.000 Right.
00:31:49.000 But I had to do that to get to the next level.
00:31:52.000 You know?
00:31:53.000 And then, yeah, from there, it's just learning and just having them enter and just following them what they do.
00:31:58.000 You know, model mimic is one of the most successful things on planet Earth.
00:32:03.000 Good point.
00:32:04.000 All right, we'll listen to chats real quick.
00:32:05.000 Take a little break here.
00:32:07.000 Yeah, PPD is a person, guys.
00:32:09.000 Patrick Bat David.
00:32:10.000 Yeah, of course.
00:32:14.000 But that is some good advice, though, bro.
00:32:17.000 All right.
00:32:18.000 There we go.
00:32:20.000 Oh, we got a black screen.
00:32:22.000 Oh, okay.
00:32:24.000 We got Levier Adams says, you're fresh.
00:32:26.000 I was listening to your stream the other day, and when that woman started attacking, I thought you were getting validated.
00:32:33.000 Come on, nigga. 1.00
00:32:34.000 Turns out she was attacking Mr. Orgasm. 0.96
00:32:37.000 Pro.
00:32:37.000 Organism?
00:32:38.000 Organism?
00:32:40.000 Bro, you were like, wait, stop.
00:32:42.000 What are you doing?
00:32:43.000 She sounded like it was straight out of a story.
00:32:45.000 He was listening to an audio.
00:32:46.000 He wasn't watching it.
00:32:47.000 He thought there was attacking.
00:32:47.000 He didn't watch it.
00:32:49.000 She threw some stuff at Organic.
00:32:49.000 No, no.
00:32:51.000 He dodged it, of course.
00:32:52.000 Black Neil.
00:32:53.000 And it went viral.
00:32:54.000 30 million views.
00:32:55.000 Let's fucking go.
00:32:56.000 All right.
00:32:56.000 Who's next?
00:32:58.000 Okay.
00:32:59.000 All right.
00:32:59.000 Cool.
00:33:00.000 So let's say someone's watching here and they want to work with you personally, e-commerce, other businesses.
00:33:07.000 How good would they get started?
00:33:08.000 How would they get started?
00:33:09.000 Miguel, you chime in.
00:33:10.000 How about that?
00:33:11.000 Yeah.
00:33:12.000 So one of the first things is just like with the whole business relationship side of things, right?
00:33:16.000 So we're a very tight circle in regards to how we operate.
00:33:19.000 We have certain standards that we follow.
00:33:22.000 And just in regards to the growth, we want to make sure that it's solid people that are joining the team.
00:33:26.000 One of the worst things that you can have is turnover, right?
00:33:29.000 And one of our ultimate goals is always having someone, you know, to be, I mean, essentially a lifetime member of whatever it is, right?
00:33:36.000 Whether it's a company, whether it's, you know, it's a group, whether it's, you know, whatever you want to call it.
00:33:40.000 So one of the biggest things that we do is a vetting process.
00:33:42.000 So again, whether that's reaching out to someone like myself or someone else on the team that's also like an executive, whatever that may look like, something as easy as sending a DM, right?
00:33:51.000 Hey, you know, like, I see what you guys are doing.
00:33:53.000 You know, I'm located in Northern California.
00:33:55.000 I myself, I'm in Arizona.
00:33:56.000 Hey, I'm in the Arizona area.
00:33:58.000 Can we sit down?
00:33:58.000 Can we have dinner?
00:33:59.000 Can we have a Zoom call?
00:34:01.000 Like showing effort, showing initiative.
00:34:03.000 Like I can tell you right now, the majority of our deals that we've ever closed, I would say probably what, 70, 80% of them have always been in person.
00:34:09.000 Why?
00:34:09.000 Because it shows effort.
00:34:11.000 Like I would rather come and meet someone in person, shake their hand and say, hey, this is what I can bring to the table.
00:34:16.000 How can we collaborate?
00:34:18.000 So one of the biggest things is obviously making that outreach, but also showing initiative.
00:34:22.000 Because if you just send a DM or don't follow up.
00:34:24.000 Yeah.
00:34:24.000 Lazy.
00:34:25.000 We have one kid.
00:34:26.000 I kid you not.
00:34:27.000 He just turned 18 in February.
00:34:28.000 His name's Eric.
00:34:29.000 Shout out to Eric.
00:34:30.000 He came up to us at a gas station, literally in a gas station.
00:34:34.000 He was wearing sweats and a baggy ass shirt.
00:34:36.000 And he says, hey, he was like, what do you guys do?
00:34:38.000 Because we pulled up and all of our cars, his Rolls Royce, Ferrari's, Porsche, all this different stuff, right?
00:34:44.000 And there's this kid here.
00:34:45.000 He's like, what the fuck do you guys do?
00:34:47.000 Of course.
00:34:47.000 And again, he was like, he was like, I apologize.
00:34:49.000 He was like, I'm in sweats.
00:34:50.000 He was like, I'm in a baggy shirt.
00:34:51.000 He's like, but I couldn't let this opportunity pass.
00:34:53.000 So I grabbed his number and I'm like, okay, cool.
00:34:55.000 You know, it's a 17-year-old kid.
00:34:56.000 He's a hustler.
00:34:57.000 He told me everything that he was doing.
00:34:58.000 I was like, follow up with me.
00:34:59.000 Next week, what does he do?
00:35:01.000 Folllows up.
00:35:01.000 I send him two or three different videos.
00:35:03.000 I say, hey, learn about this, learn about taxes, learn about this code, learn about, you know, how to read credit reports.
00:35:09.000 Do that, come back.
00:35:10.000 Something easy, right?
00:35:12.000 Two, three days later, he hits me back.
00:35:14.000 Hey, I learned all this.
00:35:15.000 What's next?
00:35:16.000 I'm like, okay, learn about e-commerce.
00:35:18.000 Learn the difference between FBA versus FBM.
00:35:21.000 Two, three days later, he hits me up.
00:35:23.000 What's next?
00:35:23.000 Okay, cool.
00:35:24.000 I'm like, all right, let's get on a phone call.
00:35:25.000 So we get on a phone call.
00:35:26.000 I'm like, hey, I'm flying out to California next week.
00:35:28.000 Let's meet up.
00:35:29.000 We go out.
00:35:29.000 We have dinner.
00:35:30.000 We start talking.
00:35:31.000 I'm like, hey, like, this is what we're looking to do.
00:35:33.000 Like, is that something that you're wanting to do?
00:35:35.000 He goes, bro, I'm still in high school.
00:35:36.000 I graduated in February, but yeah.
00:35:39.000 And yeah, pretty much from the time that he was 17 in December of this last year, all the way up until February, he started working with us prior to him actually graduating.
00:35:47.000 Oh, shit.
00:35:48.000 Yeah.
00:35:48.000 And again, it was all initiative.
00:35:50.000 He followed up.
00:35:51.000 He did the homework.
00:35:52.000 He was showing that he was willing to do it.
00:35:53.000 We weren't paying him the first three months, right?
00:35:55.000 Just like how he was saying, it takes money to make money, right?
00:35:57.000 You got to pay to play.
00:35:58.000 Sometimes if you don't have the money, okay, well, what can I use instead of my money?
00:36:02.000 Your time.
00:36:02.000 Your effort.
00:36:03.000 Your time.
00:36:04.000 So I had one of my students ask about getting funding for his e-commerce business.
00:36:09.000 Let somebody go about that way.
00:36:10.000 Say again, I'm sorry?
00:36:11.000 Funding for e-commerce.
00:36:13.000 There's multiple different ways, man.
00:36:14.000 Was it credit card leveraging?
00:36:15.000 You can get banks from, you know, money from the banks.
00:36:18.000 Depends.
00:36:18.000 If you have cloud around the business, obviously it's easier for you to get funding.
00:36:23.000 And a lot of banks, what we're noticing now is, and majority of the, depending on the industry, right?
00:36:27.000 Especially the e-commerce since technology is you're you're able to get a lot of funding.
00:36:32.000 They're supporting that.
00:36:33.000 Now, if you're in the retail space, right, you're not getting as much funding.
00:36:36.000 Obviously, you know that.
00:36:37.000 Really?
00:36:38.000 Yeah.
00:36:38.000 The reason for that is like, look at where retail is really going.
00:36:41.000 You know, like me too, when I had the GNCs, you know, it's, it's hard.
00:36:45.000 So the way my business started was when I had the GNCs, I had two locations and COVID kind of messed that up.
00:36:51.000 But luckily in 2018, we had the e-commerce and that blew up.
00:36:54.000 So then basically when I started the e-commerce was, okay, I have this location over here with a population of 200,000 people in there.
00:37:01.000 Okay.
00:37:02.000 Fitness enthusiastic, let's just say 10%.
00:37:04.000 Okay.
00:37:05.000 So let's just random number, 50,000 people might be fitness enthusiastic.
00:37:10.000 From there, maybe 1,000 people are going to buy supplements that are going to be local.
00:37:14.000 From there, maybe 500 people are going to come to me.
00:37:14.000 Okay.
00:37:17.000 But then you take a broad scope of e-commerce and you got what, 328 million people shopping daily.
00:37:24.000 You know, you have a bigger scope.
00:37:25.000 Even if you just target 1%, that's a lot.
00:37:28.000 A whole lot.
00:37:29.000 Yeah.
00:37:30.000 So it's, so that's what put me into perspective, like, oh, shit.
00:37:33.000 And banks see that as well, too.
00:37:35.000 But then they also see like what type of entity structure you have as well.
00:37:39.000 You know, so it's like having the right documentation, an office, a 1-800 number, website, all that kind of stuff.
00:37:45.000 So we see those kind of files because one of our companies called Cambush Capital Solution, and he's a master at that.
00:37:50.000 And we see files coming in all the time.
00:37:52.000 And it's just little tweaks of the way entity is structured and everything.
00:37:57.000 It determines what kind of funding you can get.
00:37:59.000 But easily when it comes to e-commerce, you can get very low rates, $300,000 to $400,000 or $5,000.
00:38:03.000 If not, why don't you find somebody who's looking to invest and make them some type of an equity deal or some type of a play where you'll return them a principal or XYZ?
00:38:14.000 A little bit higher risk for the investor side, but a lot of investors that are doing that.
00:38:17.000 So how should it structure it to get a, I don't know, 100K loan, you would say?
00:38:22.000 What do you think, Ligo?
00:38:23.000 Or at all?
00:38:24.000 No, not at all.
00:38:25.000 So basically to get 100K, just depending on who you're utilizing, a lot of the times there's certain companies, and obviously it's one of those things where you have to vet the companies out.
00:38:33.000 There's a lot of people on social media saying, you know, you can walk in a chase and get $50,000 to $100,000 cash bullshit.
00:38:40.000 It doesn't work like that.
00:38:42.000 In a way, yes, but there's a structure that has to go along, right?
00:38:45.000 So if you vet out a company, if you do your research, obviously, again, you can't expect to just get $100,000 up here out of nowhere, right?
00:38:52.000 You got to do some research, see what you need, see what type of entity, see what type of entity is being loaned, higher amounts, lower interest, whatever that case may be, and then just go from there.
00:39:01.000 Again, there's companies, not just ours.
00:39:04.000 you can go with company X, Y, or Z and try to get $100,000, $200,000.
00:39:08.000 And you're looking at maybe a $5,000 to $20,000 upfront fee.
00:39:12.000 And then typically, there's what's called a success fee.
00:39:14.000 So, if, say, for instance, say there's a company charging a 10% success fee, I want to get $100,000, right?
00:39:19.000 Company helps you get $100,000.
00:39:21.000 You pay 10% of whatever is funded.
00:39:23.000 So, say you do complete that $100,000.
00:39:25.000 You're going to pay a $10,000 fee from that credit card.
00:39:28.000 But again, nothing's coming out of your pocket.
00:39:29.000 So, again, it's just how can you get that access to that capital and how can you leverage it?
00:39:34.000 And how can you make sure that you put it somewhere to make sure you're able to pay it back?
00:39:37.000 Because that's one of the biggest things too, right?
00:39:39.000 You can go and you can get $100,000, but again, they're not gifting you that to you.
00:39:42.000 It's not a grant.
00:39:43.000 It's not a Christmas present.
00:39:44.000 You got to pay that back.
00:39:45.000 And then also too, you got to find a way and be strategic, like how you were saying, know your next moves.
00:39:50.000 Okay.
00:39:50.000 Hey, I got $100,000 on two or three different credit cards at a 0% interest for 12 months.
00:39:56.000 What am I going to do before those 12 months to make sure I pay that back and everything doesn't fall back onto me?
00:39:56.000 Okay.
00:40:01.000 Because then from there, that could start to set you back.
00:40:04.000 You can be making money, but if you're not being smart and you're wanting to take it, be greedy and not follow the, you know, the long-term play, well, it's going to bite you in the ass in the long run.
00:40:12.000 And that's why I was saying that.
00:40:15.000 Rather than starting a brand new business, acquiring a business is better.
00:40:18.000 Because there's history backtip to it, right?
00:40:18.000 Why?
00:40:21.000 You can track the metrics.
00:40:23.000 You can track the metrics as far as what they've done in the past, what they're about to do in the future.
00:40:27.000 And then from there, you can determine where to pivot and what are the bottlenecks are, fix those, and see where it goes.
00:40:32.000 I know Brad Lee buys companies a lot.
00:40:35.000 You know, Bradley?
00:40:36.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:40:37.000 Yeah.
00:40:38.000 Yeah.
00:40:38.000 We know him.
00:40:39.000 So isn't it better to acquire than start from scratch, obviously?
00:40:43.000 Yeah, 100%.
00:40:44.000 Yeah.
00:40:45.000 So let's talk about investing in assets, like crypto, real estate.
00:40:48.000 What do you guys invest in?
00:40:49.000 I love real estate.
00:40:50.000 You know, everybody loves real estate.
00:40:51.000 Think about it.
00:40:52.000 It's, you know, it's one of those things.
00:40:53.000 God only made so much land.
00:40:55.000 So crypto, it's kind of like a, I don't know.
00:40:58.000 We're trying to get, we're getting it, but there's, okay, so recently I did a podcast and then he asked me the same question.
00:41:04.000 What do you think about crypto?
00:41:05.000 I think there's two sides of crypto.
00:41:06.000 There's the bottom layer and then there's a topper layer.
00:41:08.000 So we're partnering up with this one company where they, the minimum investment with them is about, I think like 20 million or 30 million dollars and you're literally controlling the whole chain or something like that.
00:41:16.000 Right.
00:41:17.000 And then there's other guys that are just doing, what are the apps that are in crypto?
00:41:21.000 Like crypto.com, Coinbase.
00:41:24.000 Like Coinbase, like you're just Chibi Inu or something like that. 0.99
00:41:26.000 You're just doing a couple hundred bucks and all that kind of stuff.
00:41:28.000 But my biggest advice to the guys that are investing in the crypto world is make sure that money is one of those.
00:41:34.000 It's kind of like stock market.
00:41:35.000 It's just like, it's your play money.
00:41:37.000 It's gambling in a way.
00:41:37.000 Right.
00:41:38.000 Yeah.
00:41:39.000 You've got to learn how to strategically gamble.
00:41:39.000 Right?
00:41:42.000 So if you lose the money, there's a lot of people that have noticed that they're nine to five.
00:41:46.000 They save a couple, let's just say $5,000 to $10,000.
00:41:48.000 They dump it into crypto.
00:41:49.000 Then when it goes down, they're freaking the shit out because that was their retirement.
00:41:52.000 Like that's happened to one of your friends, right?
00:41:54.000 Close to about almost a million dollars.
00:41:54.000 Yeah.
00:41:57.000 He was gone?
00:41:58.000 Yeah.
00:41:58.000 Yeah.
00:41:58.000 He was at $980,000.
00:42:00.000 He wanted to invest with us.
00:42:01.000 And he had said that he wanted to hit that $1 million mark before he invested with us.
00:42:05.000 That was back when almost a year ago, I think.
00:42:08.000 Yeah, probably about a year ago, last year in June.
00:42:12.000 June, July.
00:42:13.000 He went all the way down.
00:42:13.000 Yeah.
00:42:14.000 I think he was left with like $23,000.
00:42:17.000 Still till this day, crawling himself out of that hole.
00:42:20.000 Crazy.
00:42:21.000 He should have bought the course.
00:42:22.000 Of course.
00:42:23.000 Trony Miguel.
00:42:24.000 See, that's the thing.
00:42:25.000 He probably bought some altcoins.
00:42:26.000 Yeah, man.
00:42:27.000 See, that's the thing, bro.
00:42:28.000 It's like, that's the thing.
00:42:29.000 You got to be very careful of where you get your information as well, too.
00:42:32.000 You know, there are, like you said, the course, too.
00:42:34.000 There are a lot of courses, but they just buy one course that go based off that.
00:42:37.000 Why don't we get like four or five different courses and then go based off of the best information that you think it is?
00:42:41.000 And then go based off of that.
00:42:43.000 That's smarter.
00:42:44.000 Because the majority of the courses, what happens is they're just going to give you the little things so they can sell you more, more, more, more, more.
00:42:49.000 But let's just buy five or six different courses and see the different strategies and see which strategy you think is going to work the best.
00:42:55.000 You know?
00:42:56.000 And that's the same thing with business.
00:42:58.000 From your experience, I guess, for example, people's mistakes.
00:43:02.000 What's the biggest mistake people make in business, you would say, starting out?
00:43:05.000 Oh, man.
00:43:06.000 The biggest mistake I've ever made was partnering up with the wrong people.
00:43:09.000 This was back when I was 20 years old when I got my first business as a GNC.
00:43:13.000 So this is a former guy that I worked with.
00:43:16.000 And yeah, so we opened up application and then I was working my ass off there.
00:43:21.000 XYZ, he was the one pretty much telling everybody, like, he's the boss of the shop, but we're 50-50.
00:43:27.000 That's the other thing is when you're partnering up with someone, you have to see who's doing more in the business and then make the partnership off that because capital can be brought from anywhere, right?
00:43:38.000 For some amount of work that's put in there.
00:43:40.000 So a deal like that would be rather than being 50-50 should have been where I've got more of the equity because I was in there every single day.
00:43:50.000 I mean, shit, I remember when we first got it, it was a brand new location.
00:43:54.000 And I was working there literally for, I think, eight or nine months from open to close.
00:44:00.000 No haircut, no nothing.
00:44:01.000 And I remember two times calling him like, bro, can you just watch the shop for 30 minutes so I can go get a haircut next door was a freaking, not even like a women's salon, you know, just so I can get a freaking haircut, you know?
00:44:12.000 But what I'm trying to say is like partnerships is the biggest thing that matter in your business because that can literally break your business, make your business whatever it is.
00:44:21.000 Even if you're a couple and you go 50-50, it usually doesn't work out.
00:44:25.000 And you got to learn how to navigate those situations.
00:44:29.000 Like how do you structure them?
00:44:30.000 How do you legally structure them?
00:44:31.000 Do you have a trust?
00:44:31.000 Do you have a holding company?
00:44:33.000 How's the money flowing?
00:44:35.000 How are you dividing the dividends?
00:44:38.000 How are you doing?
00:44:38.000 Are you paying salary?
00:44:39.000 Are you not?
00:44:40.000 Who's taking care of the employees? 1.00
00:44:41.000 Who's doing this?
00:44:41.000 Who's doing that?
00:44:42.000 A lot of couples, man, they get into arguments because of that.
00:44:44.000 You know, like the whole CEO thing that we were talking about, the whole cheating guy, maybe there were partnerships.
00:44:48.000 We don't know.
00:44:49.000 The husband and wife, we don't know.
00:44:51.000 That's true.
00:44:52.000 We don't know.
00:44:53.000 You know?
00:44:53.000 So, yeah, so partnerships is the biggest thing.
00:44:55.000 And the biggest believer that I have is 50-50 never works.
00:44:59.000 I've never seen a successful 50-50% partnership.
00:45:01.000 Impossible.
00:45:02.000 Especially if it's two brothers or friends.
00:45:04.000 It's very hard.
00:45:05.000 The other thing is, too, having standards in business of what you stand for.
00:45:07.000 You know, your non-negotiables, like they say.
00:45:09.000 You know, like, like, what are some of the things like your 10?
00:45:11.000 So whenever I do business, business with somebody, I always say, hey, these are my 10 non-negotiables.
00:45:16.000 What are your 10 non-negotiables?
00:45:17.000 Like, one of the things is if there's three partners, right?
00:45:20.000 Let's just say you, me, and Miguel.
00:45:22.000 If there are three partners in a business, you can't have a conversation.
00:45:26.000 It has to be in person.
00:45:27.000 No phones, no Zoom call, no text message.
00:45:30.000 And the reason for that is when you have the emotions in person are a lot different than phone calls, text messages, and Zoom calls, right?
00:45:38.000 You have to learn how to read people because you might be saying something on the phone or something like that.
00:45:42.000 But if when I'm in person, I can read you if you're nervous or not.
00:45:47.000 And then on top of that, too, you and I can have a conversation behind closed doors and agree on something.
00:45:52.000 And then if I'm not there, that's not fair for me.
00:45:54.000 It turns into a he said, she said.
00:45:55.000 But if we're all there and we're all on the same page, things move a lot slower.
00:45:58.000 So what I'm trying to say is when you have the non-negotiables, we write all of our non-negotiables and there's a separate document that I have.
00:46:04.000 I call it the Declaration of Business, right?
00:46:06.000 And so we put all of our, you know, what are our non-negotiables and we sign that shit and then we get into business.
00:46:11.000 You know, so everybody, what I'm saying is you're putting standards of everybody agreed to this before we do anything.
00:46:16.000 Then from there, you have quarterly meetings, then you have monthly meetings, and there's what?
00:46:20.000 Some meetings that you have to do between your partner, some meetings you have to do between your employees.
00:46:24.000 And you've got to understand that thin, fine line.
00:46:27.000 You know?
00:46:28.000 That's some good stuff.
00:46:29.000 Wow.
00:46:29.000 Yeah.
00:46:31.000 Awesome.
00:46:32.000 All right.
00:46:33.000 Any more chats, Bills?
00:46:36.000 Cool.
00:46:40.000 Musa says, hey, brother, at this point, it's very difficult for us to believe people in suits.
00:46:46.000 You want to respond then?
00:46:47.000 Shit, man.
00:46:48.000 We just like to be fresh and fit.
00:46:50.000 There you go.
00:46:53.000 I just opened an e-commerce store making about $1K a week as a side hustle running organic ads.
00:46:53.000 All right.
00:46:57.000 If I were to run paid ads, where would you suggest?
00:47:00.000 TikTok all day.
00:47:01.000 TikTok all day.
00:47:02.000 TikTok is blowing up like crazy.
00:47:03.000 So I don't know who you are and where you're running your platform.
00:47:06.000 Is it Shopify, whatever it is?
00:47:08.000 Try to get whatever you are and try to monetize it in multiple different locations like TikTok Shop and then also running your ads on TikTok.
00:47:14.000 We've seen a huge increase from Instagram, Facebook, and Google ads and TikTok.
00:47:19.000 TikTok has been performing big time.
00:47:20.000 TikTok Lives too.
00:47:22.000 And then just to add to that too, like I was talking about earlier, just retargeting those people.
00:47:26.000 Obviously, if someone's purchasing from you, retargeting them, creating, you know, having a system or a CRM where you're able to track all of your, you know, your customers and then retargeting them.
00:47:37.000 You have a new product that you're starting to sell or anything like that, boom, offer them a promotion.
00:47:42.000 Hey, you purchased this item, leave me a review for a discount, retarget them, go over and over and over because at that point, you're not having to actually pay for leads or for more customers or any type of ads.
00:47:53.000 You're just able to repurpose those same customers.
00:47:58.000 All right.
00:48:01.000 What else?
00:48:04.000 I can't see at first.
00:48:05.000 You got it.
00:48:06.000 We got Freeology.
00:48:08.000 It says, hey, Myron, you want to know about what it says on local TV?
00:48:13.000 Shit, you know what?
00:48:13.000 I'll message him right now.
00:48:17.000 All right, that's it?
00:48:18.000 Cool.
00:48:18.000 That's it.
00:48:19.000 All right.
00:48:19.000 So, another question for me here.
00:48:21.000 So let's say someone's done all this.
00:48:23.000 They've worked on themselves.
00:48:25.000 They've gone to business.
00:48:26.000 They're doing pretty well.
00:48:27.000 How do they scale up to XC where they're at?
00:48:31.000 How would they scale up, you would say?
00:48:32.000 Scaling up.
00:48:33.000 Scaling up has to do a lot, man.
00:48:34.000 It has to do majority with your team.
00:48:37.000 You can't put what a lot of see what I see in business owners is they try to do everything by themselves.
00:48:42.000 Scaling is all about having the right people in your team and the knowing who to put on your table is the biggest, biggest thing.
00:48:47.000 So same thing with me too.
00:48:48.000 You know, like we have an operation in Dubai, right?
00:48:51.000 I'm sitting here, but the operation is running in Dubai in the Philippines.
00:48:53.000 We have e-commerce running there, but I have strategic partners doing all that and I trust them.
00:48:57.000 And then we're just working great off of that.
00:49:00.000 It gets to a point where you get to a certain revenue where you have to, as a CEO, you're just the visionary and the growth guy like I am right now.
00:49:07.000 And then I have executors like Miguel.
00:49:09.000 There's the one over there executing exactly what I want.
00:49:11.000 And they become leaders.
00:49:12.000 And then from there, you just become lead, you know, it's just leaders and systems and everything put into place.
00:49:17.000 But how do you keep Miguel happy?
00:49:18.000 Many different ways, Miguel.
00:49:20.000 I mean, like, so one of the things is like, okay, that comes to the leadership question.
00:49:26.000 Okay.
00:49:27.000 When you're working for somebody, it's not fair as you as a CEO, you get everything nice, right?
00:49:33.000 Nice car, the nice jets, and you're traveling, all that kind of stuff, right?
00:49:36.000 But it's when you want to see your team growing, that's when you're going as well too.
00:49:41.000 And he's going to stay loyal to me.
00:49:42.000 If I'm taking care of him, his personal, professional, and financial goals, you think he's not going to be loyal to me?
00:49:47.000 He told me when we first joined, brother, I want to get a Porsche.
00:49:47.000 100%.
00:49:51.000 And we made it happen, you know?
00:49:52.000 So I want to get a Porsche.
00:49:53.000 And then it's my job to put more stuff on him to keep it growing and so he can produce more income.
00:49:59.000 Then he said, now his next goal is to get a house for his son and then have it the way he wants it.
00:50:05.000 So now we're helping him, you know, helping him strategically grow the wealth that he wants to with all of our companies investing, all kind of stuff.
00:50:12.000 So I'm putting more plate on him so he can do that.
00:50:15.000 Does that make sense?
00:50:16.000 And then from there, when you're a CEO, you want to make sure that your base, your mission and your vision is always just you're the one that pushing the shit out of every single day.
00:50:26.000 You as a CEO, you have to be the strongest guy.
00:50:28.000 You're not supposed to be nimble.
00:50:29.000 You're not supposed to be weak.
00:50:30.000 You have to be the alpha guy standing up for everybody else.
00:50:32.000 Does that make sense?
00:50:33.000 And then so like, so there will be times where you feel like shit, you feel down and all that kind of stuff.
00:50:37.000 But that's when, that's when, you know, like you got to recollect yourself.
00:50:41.000 And then like Miguel comes to you like, bro, you okay?
00:50:43.000 Yeah, I'm good, man.
00:50:44.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:50:45.000 I just want to make sure you're okay.
00:50:45.000 Yeah.
00:50:46.000 That's when I know you have a good leadership team.
00:50:48.000 Yeah.
00:50:49.000 And then I think one of the biggest things too is seeing, you know, that, right?
00:50:54.000 It, it starts to waterfall.
00:50:56.000 So like, for instance, like how I was saying with this, you know, the Eric, right, just turned 18.
00:51:01.000 So there's Eric and then there's, you know, a couple other guys.
00:51:04.000 The same approach that he took with me is the same approach I'm going to take to him.
00:51:07.000 Because that can start to waterfall.
00:51:07.000 Right.
00:51:07.000 Right.
00:51:09.000 And then that starts to build a bigger team.
00:51:12.000 And one of the biggest things that I remember, and I told these guys the same exact thing.
00:51:17.000 I told him, hey, I'm going to quit my job.
00:51:20.000 And he said, bro, you quit your job.
00:51:22.000 You give me your 100%.
00:51:23.000 I will give you my 200%.
00:51:25.000 And that's one of the things that stuck with me the most out of everything.
00:51:29.000 And again, being able to pass that on to other guys as well.
00:51:32.000 You know, something as easy as like, you know, I want a new car or something as big as like, hey, I want to retire my dad by next year.
00:51:39.000 Okay, well, let's make that shit happen.
00:51:40.000 This is what we got to do.
00:51:41.000 But again, just like how he was saying, you got to start putting things onto those people's plate in order to see how much they're able to handle and how much they're able to produce.
00:51:50.000 Right.
00:51:50.000 Right.
00:51:50.000 Like, for instance, if he had to do the, you know, the sounds, the visuals and everything like that, he might not be able to.
00:51:57.000 But if he's like, but if he has another person and then, say, for instance, say you guys wanted to have another production, say, in Las Vegas, right?
00:52:04.000 You guys can have another podcast studio.
00:52:05.000 He's able to teach the next person, the next person, the next person.
00:52:08.000 You're able to build more.
00:52:09.000 You're able to bang more of these podcasts out.
00:52:11.000 You're able to have more guests.
00:52:12.000 You're able to expand.
00:52:13.000 And ultimately, that's the biggest goal, like I was saying earlier: strengthen numbers.
00:52:17.000 Let's go.
00:52:17.000 All right.
00:52:19.000 Are we the last ones here?
00:52:20.000 All right.
00:52:21.000 That's it for chats.
00:52:23.000 So you guys have an event coming up in August, right?
00:52:23.000 All right.
00:52:26.000 Correct.
00:52:26.000 What's the event?
00:52:27.000 So it's called the Domination Conference.
00:52:29.000 We have about 2,000 business owners coming in there.
00:52:31.000 We have Robert Harborchuk from the Shark Tank and Kevin Harrington, too.
00:52:34.000 We're doing a segment for one hour.
00:52:36.000 From that one, it's called In the Tank with the Sharks.
00:52:38.000 And the reason for we're doing that is, just like the questions you asked me, like, how do you scare your business?
00:52:44.000 Rather than us asking questions, we're opening up to the floor.
00:52:46.000 Where if you were to walk into the show of Shark Tank is what questions and how do you set your company properly so you can get your VC money, PE money, investors, and all kinds of jazz.
00:52:58.000 And I feel like they've never done that.
00:52:59.000 So it's more like a Q ⁇ A panel, you know, because personally, I want to know too.
00:53:04.000 It's like, what am I missing?
00:53:05.000 How are these guys doing all this kind of stuff?
00:53:07.000 What am I missing as well?
00:53:08.000 So we're opening up that.
00:53:09.000 And then we have Pedros.
00:53:10.000 Kool-Aid, he's a good friend of mine as well.
00:53:12.000 And we're doing a lot of things together with men, you know.
00:53:17.000 You're familiar with what is the project called?
00:53:19.000 MDK or something like that project?
00:53:21.000 It's about men, what they do.
00:53:22.000 I think you guys, yeah, I think you guys, you guys should have Pedros in here, man.
00:53:26.000 I think you guys will love him.
00:53:27.000 And what he's doing is basically, and this is the reason why I love Pedros.
00:53:30.000 One, he's humble.
00:53:31.000 Number two, he's preaching what you guys are preaching, how to men to be alpha men.
00:53:35.000 So he puts in one week and he teaches them business, finance, but then he puts them in the trenches of, you know, the army training stuff in the mud, cold plunging, all kinds of, he's doing that.
00:53:44.000 And then he created another program for father and sons to do that.
00:53:48.000 It's fucking badass, bro.
00:53:50.000 Imagine.
00:53:50.000 So I have a five-year-old son.
00:53:52.000 I can't wait until my son's like 13, 14, so I can take him in there too.
00:53:55.000 It's a bonding thing, but then also we're setting our kids that proper of how to be real men.
00:54:00.000 Hardcore shit.
00:54:02.000 You know, and I feel like they're not doing that stuff.
00:54:04.000 And school obviously doesn't teach that.
00:54:06.000 And then social media, when you've got like, like somebody was asking me, how do you, how do you determine where your society is going?
00:54:12.000 It's through entertainment.
00:54:14.000 Look who our entertainment is.
00:54:18.000 You really want a person like Cardi B to be a public figure?
00:54:21.000 Yeah.
00:54:23.000 Like realistically, right?
00:54:24.000 Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:54:25.000 It's bad.
00:54:25.000 It's really bad.
00:54:26.000 She's the one that I feel like OnlyFans and all that kind of stuff, like you guys talk about, she's the one that's really pumping that shit up.
00:54:32.000 You know, it's some of the stuff in this world, I mean, it makes no sense.
00:54:37.000 You can be 13 years old.
00:54:39.000 You can chop off your genitals, but you have to be 21 to fucking drive. 0.97
00:54:42.000 It makes zero sense.
00:54:44.000 You know, the other day I took my son to a derby thing.
00:54:47.000 The girls that were driving the cars, they're smashing into each other's cars, doing the thing. 1.00
00:54:50.000 He was having a blast.
00:54:52.000 The girls were 16 years old.
00:54:54.000 They're not even legally able to drive on the streets, but they can do this derby thing, which is 10 times more dangerous.
00:54:59.000 It makes zero sense to me.
00:55:02.000 But yeah, Pedro Skulin's going to be there.
00:55:03.000 Ed Milet, he's a great guy when it comes to personal development, leadership.
00:55:07.000 Yeah, very, I'm really excited to have him on stage, ask him a question.
00:55:11.000 So everything we're doing is nothing motivational.
00:55:13.000 It's more of some of the questions I want to ask.
00:55:16.000 And then we're doing a lot of case studies.
00:55:17.000 I'm a big fan of case studies.
00:55:18.000 You know, if you have a company who's doing $8 million and you want to get into three new states and you're getting a contract with $6 million, now your revenue has increased to, what, $14 million?
00:55:27.000 But your COO, your operator says, dude, we're already, we can't even fulfill our current orders.
00:55:34.000 How are we going to fulfill our new orders?
00:55:36.000 How do you navigate those conversations?
00:55:39.000 You know, what do you do at this point?
00:55:40.000 Do you pause?
00:55:41.000 Do you not go to the market?
00:55:43.000 Do you go to the market?
00:55:44.000 Like, what do you do?
00:55:45.000 You know, so yeah, we're doing a lot of stuff like that.
00:55:47.000 It's one of those.
00:55:48.000 And then on top of that, my business is not to make money off the tickets.
00:55:51.000 My business is not to upsell anybody.
00:55:53.000 My business is more about finding more companies out there that I can partner up with.
00:55:58.000 Right.
00:55:59.000 You know, so we can integrate.
00:56:00.000 We've done that in Cabo.
00:56:01.000 Last year in August, we threw up an event in Cabo and we had about 400 people in there.
00:56:07.000 And we started five new companies just based off of that.
00:56:09.000 And it was a way higher ROI than anything else.
00:56:11.000 Wow.
00:56:11.000 Yeah.
00:56:12.000 Yeah.
00:56:12.000 It was really good stuff.
00:56:13.000 That's why we're doing another big one this time, too.
00:56:14.000 So when's the event?
00:56:15.000 August 7th, 8th, 9th at the Fountain Blue.
00:56:17.000 Here in Miami.
00:56:18.000 Correct.
00:56:19.000 Yeah.
00:56:20.000 It's a nice venue.
00:56:20.000 Might pop in.
00:56:21.000 Yeah, dude.
00:56:23.000 Yeah.
00:56:23.000 Right there on the beach.
00:56:23.000 Yeah.
00:56:24.000 You'll get a vacation out of it, too.
00:56:24.000 Nice.
00:56:26.000 You get to learn business, bring your kids.
00:56:27.000 They can do all the pool stuff while you learn and all that kind of jazz.
00:56:30.000 You know who owns Fountain Blue, right?
00:56:30.000 Yeah.
00:56:32.000 Oh my God.
00:56:33.000 Yeah, we do.
00:56:33.000 Fresh Blue.
00:56:34.000 John Fresh.
00:56:34.000 Okay.
00:56:35.000 All right.
00:56:36.000 Cool.
00:56:38.000 So this has been an awesome Money Monday.
00:56:40.000 I love value here.
00:56:42.000 So where can I find your brother?
00:56:44.000 You can find me on Instagram at AmrenderXPro.
00:56:47.000 I think you guys put it in the chat.
00:56:48.000 Yep.
00:56:49.000 I think they put it in the link as well too for the event.
00:56:51.000 For the event.
00:56:52.000 Yeah.

00:57:07.000 Yeah.
