00:18:12.000 Guys, welcome back to the podcast Fresh and Fit.

00:18:14.000 Today we're gonna interview Byrne about trading, how to win big in 2020 25.

00:18:19.000 Let's go.

00:19:09.000 Alright, fellas, we're back.

00:19:10.000 It's money money, man, best day of the actual week.

00:19:13.000 We cover money uh topics, for example, of guests.

00:19:15.000 But welcome to the show, Bern.

00:19:17.000 Thank you for having me, Fresh.

00:19:18.000 Yeah.

00:19:19.000 So I know you are, they may not.

00:19:20.000 Tell me who you are, brother.

00:19:22.000 So um I came all the way from Dubai.

00:19:24.000 Originally you might hear that from my from my accent.

00:19:26.000 I'm I'm from Germany, I'm German, but I live in Dubai since 2009, so since more than um 16 years now.

00:19:32.000 And um I consider myself uh I'm a full-time trader, but I consider myself a multi-asset trader.

00:19:37.000 Um I'm trading everything like stocks, uh futures, FX, and um I gained popularity, I would say, online when I became 2024, the all-time record holder for the biggest uh prop firm in the world, which is FTMO.

00:19:51.000 And uh ever since, you know, um yeah, I'm pretty much uh also very much uh uh public figure on social media.

00:19:59.000 Yeah, I've seen your videos online, of course, and your interviews, pretty good stuff.

00:20:03.000 So listen, man, we had a big upset in the marketplace.

00:20:06.000 Um people lost a lot of money in leverage trading uh recently.

00:20:10.000 Some committed some uh personal harm to themselves, some you know, quit and just went off into sunset.

00:20:16.000 But either way, people were definitely hurt by this uh offset, you know.

00:20:19.000 Uh can you tell me a little bit about whether what happened there, why they lost all their money in that instance?

00:20:24.000 Well, I mean that's the reason why trading has such sometimes uh a bad rep because people think it's super risky, but it's actually not if you do it professionally.

00:20:34.000 And that's the problem because these people who lose everything, usually these are not real traders.

00:20:40.000 These are I would consider market participants.

00:20:42.000 They don't have real skill because the market is accessible to everyone, right?

00:20:46.000 It just takes well 60 minutes to open up a brokerage account, um, and then you use your uh uh visa card and the deposit some money and you can play some trades, but you don't have any kind of skill.

00:20:56.000 You don't have any kind of experience, but then you basically can bet all your money.

00:21:00.000 It's like going to the casino for these people.

00:21:02.000 100% and and that's and that's a big problem when it comes to the financial market.

00:21:05.000 So people think oh trading is risky, but actually if you do it professionally, like a um skilled trader, it's actually I would always I would always say it's less risky than any other business because you can always determine what you want to risk.

00:21:20.000 You can tell fresh, hey, on this particular trade on cryptocurrency, whatever it is, I want to risk a thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, five hundred dollars, fifty bucks.

00:21:27.000 You determine your risk tolerance, you determine your risk, and that's the maximum you can then actually lose.

00:21:32.000 But these people they bet like the house on on it, and then you know when it goes south, they lose everything basically.

00:21:39.000 And then they lose everything.

00:21:40.000 That's a problem, right?

00:21:41.000 Yeah.

00:21:41.000 So people watching want to be pros, they want to make money this year.

00:21:44.000 Of course, yeah is almost finished, but they want to capitalize on what's happening with the marketplace.

00:21:48.000 Now, obviously speaking from your background, how'd you get into trading and how'd you become the number one uh record holder for FTML?

00:21:55.000 Well, um I have a normal like I'm a normal dude.

00:21:58.000 I have uh I have a I have a uh normal university degree.

00:22:01.000 Um I also uh studied a little bit in Santa Barbara at the UCSB.

00:22:05.000 Um like an exchange program back in the days.

00:22:09.000 Um and after my studies, I immediately moved to Dubai and I got a job, a corporate job in the automotive business at Audi Volkswagen, Middle East, so the car brand.

00:22:17.000 I I was working in the in the car sector.

00:22:19.000 Car industry, uh car industry, so to speak.

00:22:21.000 Do you prefer Dubai or or Mammy?

00:22:23.000 Sorry?

00:22:24.000 You prefer Dubai or Mammy?

00:22:25.000 What do you prefer?

00:22:26.000 You know it's it's it's an interesting question.

00:22:28.000 It's so similar.

00:22:30.000 It's so similar.

00:22:31.000 Um it's almost the same.

00:22:33.000 Basically, it's almost the same.

00:22:34.000 I would say right now I prefer Dubai.

00:22:37.000 It feels just a little bit more safe.

00:22:39.000 It is safer.

00:22:40.000 I'll say this though, Miami does have its uh good points because the culture here, the food.

00:22:45.000 Dubai is luxury, but not too much culture that's beyond you know the Arabic world, I would say.

00:22:51.000 Well, you have a lot of nationalities living in Dubai as well.

00:22:54.000 Like I mean, it's only in Dubai, it's like it's only in Dubai, it's like uh 10% locals, everything else is like experts, like you have like more than British people, yeah, a lot of British people, Germans, like all n all nationalities, like you have more than 190 n nationalities living in Dubai, like and peacefully, safely, right?

00:23:12.000 Because it's like a place to do business, and everybody is like wants to wants to do business and do well in Dubai.

00:23:17.000 That's why it's a great place.

00:23:18.000 I saw a girl obviously get arrested for having uh well, she was at a party apparently, and it was some I saw the news stuff that I saw the news as well.

00:23:26.000 Yo, that's crazy, bro.

00:23:28.000 I'm you know, these news pop up randomly.

00:23:31.000 I'm not sure if this is like orchestra or if this is like of yeah, so I would not put like I I really don't know, but I see these news as well.

00:23:40.000 But um I've never experienced something like that, obviously.

00:23:44.000 Gotcha.

00:23:44.000 All right, so back to Dubai, you go over there, you get a job in industry, automotive industry.

00:23:48.000 Uh what happened after that.

00:23:49.000 And then I just had a corporate job, and pretty quickly after a couple of years, I realized that the corporate world is not for me, that I don't want to be like for the rest of my life a slave of my desk, and you know, like have this nine to five grind and have a supervisor above me, and you know, doing like every day the same stuff.

00:24:06.000 Yeah, so then I realized well, the corporate world is not for me, so I should better do like my own stuff, right?

00:24:11.000 Be become my own boss, you know, become an entrepreneur, CEO, CEO of CEO of my own life, right?

00:24:17.000 So um, but no, but seriously, I was like, but I never knew what I wanted to do with my life.

00:24:24.000 Um I just knew that at some point in time I caught the corporate world is not for me.

00:24:28.000 So I stumbled up on on I stumbled on trading.

00:24:31.000 Yeah, and um it it's uh it sounded interesting that you can make money online basically from home and become not only financially independent, but also time-wise independent, and this was at this time more important for me because I was literally working like not 9 to 5, but seven to midnight.

00:24:52.000 You know, I had I had no time for myself.

00:24:54.000 So the time freedom uh that trading can potentially provide was more valuable for me at this time than the financial freedom.

00:25:02.000 Because I always had like um with my corporate job in Dubai, Dubai is also tax-free.

00:25:06.000 I always made decent amount of money.

00:25:08.000 So money was not free is the best part.

00:25:11.000 Here in America, uh, we're taxed very heavily.

00:25:14.000 Uh you can get you know, always around it with real estate, buying some heavy cars over six thousand pounds, but technically speaking, it's still our money gotta fork up for taxes.

00:25:22.000 But Dubai is pretty good.

00:25:23.000 It's pretty good, exactly.

00:25:24.000 So I always had like a decent amount of money, but the money that I made then basically I invested in my trading education.

00:25:29.000 So uh I found I found some guys in the in the US, um, some former old school uh floor traders from Chicago Mercantile Exchange and New York Stock Exchange, and I got some trade uh uh training from them.

00:25:40.000 Did you pay them for mentorship?

00:25:41.000 Yeah, 100% to for one to one hot commentership.

00:25:43.000 Okay, total amount of money you spend on mentorship, like total.

00:25:46.000 Fifty thousand plus fifty thousand dollars.

00:25:49.000 And this was inflation unadjusted.

00:25:52.000 This was back in the days, right?

00:25:53.000 So I I took all my savings basically that I had and I was investing in my own education.

00:25:57.000 It's what year was that?

00:26:00.000 Um so I quit so I quit my job 11 years ago.

00:26:03.000 This was like 13 years ago or so.

00:26:06.000 Yeah, because I know a couple traders myself that um go into the game and some worked at Target, some worked at you know, uh Home Depot, and they put everything into their uh career from mentorship and they blew it from there.

00:26:17.000 But it took a lot of time though.

00:26:19.000 It takes time, it still takes time, but you are like you're like in the right path immediately, right?

00:26:25.000 Because I can only imagine as someone that's new to the industry, I must make many mistakes.

00:26:29.000 So my money will be going down, and I feel like at that point, how do you minimize taking losses?

00:26:34.000 You would say.

00:26:35.000 I mean, even back in the days, the the trading world was completely different.

00:26:39.000 There was no YouTube, there was no like anything online, there were like a few couple of books.

00:26:45.000 And if you really wanted to get some real uh training on trading, then you needed like some personal mentorship.

00:26:52.000 So um there was I would these days I would consider there was much less noise.

00:26:57.000 So I'm glad that I started a long time ago.

00:26:59.000 There was less noise, so I really could focus.

00:27:01.000 These days it's like crazy, right?

00:27:03.000 On YouTube, and if you ch just type in how to learn trading, I mean it's information overload, like how to find the the real thing, it's really hard.

00:27:10.000 The problem I see now is that like I could type into YouTube, Google, and there's so many traders, I don't know who to trust.

00:27:16.000 And you know and what do you think?

00:27:20.000 Where does it come from?

00:27:20.000 Where does this come from?

00:27:21.000 Why do you think there's so many?

00:27:23.000 Do you have any idea what you would what would you think?

00:27:25.000 Because uh people want to make money.

00:27:28.000 Well, the problem is that in trading, so trading is a real profession.

00:27:32.000 So we have to we have to establish that.

00:27:34.000 Trading is a profession like any other other profession in the world.

00:27:37.000 Like becoming a doctor, lawyer, engineer, pilot.

00:27:40.000 It's a profession.

00:27:42.000 So but when it comes to trading, it's almost the only profession where there's no accreditation system, there's no certification system.

00:27:47.000 You know everybody fresh.

00:27:48.000 You can go now out and you know, you can make a YouTube channel about trading, and you know, you can sound very articulate and you know you can I'm a trader, guys.

00:27:56.000 Yeah, join my program.

00:27:57.000 You can exactly you can sell yourself very well, and then people you know know even less than you, and they're like, wow, this guy sounds smart, so let's buy his program.

00:28:04.000 And this is a problem in trading because there's really no accreditation system.

00:28:07.000 If if you are like a certified pilot or doctor, then you are one, right?

00:28:11.000 You went through university and you know you have certificates and all this kind of stuff.

00:28:15.000 When it comes to trading, everybody can call themselves a trader, and this is a big problem in the space, and that's why people taking advantage of that, and that's why it's so hard to find the needle in the haystick.

00:28:25.000 And these days it's the needle in the haystick because you know, I would say 95% of the information out there is BS, you know, sorry to say.

00:28:32.000 So I started learning uh some trading stuff, some protocols.

00:28:36.000 And um it's funny because typically speaking, Wappen, you see people online with nice cars, lifestyle, you're like, wait, what's this guy do for a living?

00:28:46.000 Oh, I'm a trader.

00:28:47.000 But then I'm like, how often do you have to trade versus you show your lifestyle online?

00:28:51.000 That's already, you know, for for real traders, for me, this is already a red flag.

00:28:55.000 If the marketing is purely based on watches, cars, houses, uh flights, you know, like holidays, you know, like the the high life.

00:29:04.000 That's all the biggest like one of the biggest red flags that for me personally, because you know, nothing wrong with having nice stuff.

00:29:12.000 I like nice stuff as well, but I don't like push it in like hey, look, I I bought this nice Lamborghini because I made X amount of dollars with trading.

00:29:21.000 That's like uh it's misleading.

00:29:23.000 So you don't want to flex at all?

00:29:25.000 Hey man, burn his hair with the Lamborghini eventually are pulling up on you as man was good, bruh.

00:29:30.000 No, that's not my style to be honest.

00:29:33.000 I'm also I'm I'm 42, I'm 42.

00:29:35.000 We actually before the podcast, it's quite interesting.

00:29:37.000 We we share the same uh birthday, right?

00:29:39.000 Second of October.

00:29:40.000 That's a random man.

00:29:41.000 It's so random.

00:29:42.000 Yeah, uh October 2nd, right?

00:29:43.000 October 2nd, both of us, yeah.

00:29:44.000 Happy birthday.

00:29:45.000 Yeah, so happy birthday, bro.

00:29:46.000 I turned up.

00:29:46.000 I was uh doing my thing.

00:29:48.000 If I'm a close friends on Instagram, you would have seen it.

00:29:51.000 So nope.

00:29:53.000 Yep.

00:29:53.000 Um so yeah, no, I'm also I'm 42 years old.

00:29:56.000 I'm I'm too old for that stuff.

00:29:57.000 I have family, I have a I have a uh 11-year-old daughter, so I feel when I got older, man, I I just start caring about certain things.

00:30:03.000 Like uh before I used to like kibble lifestyle and going out.

00:30:06.000 That's more like I just want to make money, beyond good people, you know, make connections and network.

00:30:11.000 Before it's more like just have fun, party, but just don't really real joy in that other than just like a fast moment, you know?

00:30:17.000 So I agree.

00:30:18.000 So let's talk about you getting the record uh FTML.

00:30:22.000 Yes.

00:30:22.000 Uh being number one is hard to do it, especially in twenty twenty twenty-four.

00:30:25.000 Yes.

00:30:25.000 How'd you pull that off?

00:30:27.000 Well, I don't know myself.

00:30:28.000 No, I mean I I had I had already so I started prop trading.

00:30:31.000 So m the people that are watching what is prop trading.

00:30:34.000 Exactly.

00:30:35.000 I just wanted to explain just briefly.

00:30:36.000 I think people who are watching don't know about prop trading.

00:30:39.000 So prop trading.

00:30:40.000 So the biggest obstacle these days, or not these days, the big biggest obstacle that people usually have when it comes to trading is the lack of capital, right?

00:30:47.000 Um so um, but these days you have prop firms, so that's the solution to the challenge, lack of capital, because you have firms, they kind of fund you capital up to 200,000, 300,000, 400,000, up to the much?

00:31:00.000 Exactly up to a million or even more.

00:31:02.000 You what?

00:31:03.000 Wait, hold on.

00:31:04.000 So I can come into this with no money and get 100k, 200k.

00:31:08.000 Yes, so um usually it's like you have to you have to pay a little fee, it's not much.

00:31:13.000 Like for uh let's assume for a 200,000 dollar account, you have to pay uh a thousand dollars, and with that thousand dollars, you get access to a test.

00:31:21.000 It's like a driver's driver's license test, basically.

00:31:23.000 Okay, so you have to pass that.

00:31:24.000 It's like they call it a challenge and evaluation, prop firm evaluation.

00:31:28.000 And if you pass that driver's license, that evaluation, then you get that funded account.

00:31:34.000 Exactly.

00:31:34.000 And you're qualified, and then you get that funded account.

00:31:36.000 Okay.

00:31:36.000 Like then you can trade 200k and you can scale up to like a million or even more.

00:31:41.000 So at some point at some point I was managing 4.2 million dollars in prop firm capital in in 2024 at some point.

00:31:49.000 And then obviously, you know, as a trader, if you say, hey, I make between uh per month one to five percent return per month, you know, then it makes a real difference, right?

00:32:00.000 If you fund your own account with a thousand bucks and you make like one percent, it's like what is that?

00:32:04.000 It's like ten bucks, it's nothing, right?

00:32:06.000 It's not life changing.

00:32:07.000 Even if you put 10,000 in your trading account, 1% per month is like a hundred bucks.

00:32:11.000 It's really not life changing.

00:32:12.000 It doesn't do anything, right?

00:32:14.000 So but if you talk about 200,000 now making one percent, it's like 2K.

00:32:18.000 And for a lot of people, that's a lot of money, right?

00:32:20.000 Let's talk about the we have to consider the mainstream, the norm, right?

00:32:24.000 Yeah, so but and then when it comes to you're trading this fund this funded account, so if you people think, oh, but it's I can lose 200,000.

00:32:33.000 No, because there's no real downside, because if you lose money off that funded account, the firm covers it.

00:32:39.000 You don't have to cover the money if you lose it.

00:32:42.000 And if you make money, there's a there's a there's a profit split.

00:32:45.000 So there's like usually it's like 80 20.

00:32:48.000 So 80% you uh you keep and 20% the the firm keeps.

00:32:52.000 So there's actually that's why I'm I consider myself by by the way, there's no I don't have any affiliation to anything to any firm, nothing.

00:32:59.000 Also not to FTMO, obviously, although I'm the all-time record holder.

00:33:03.000 Um but I I consider myself a a prop trading ambassador because it's so life changing, because it really like there's no more excuse of I don't have money, because really the only thing is right now, the only thing that you have to do is learn the skill how to trade.

00:33:20.000 And then you if you have the skill, you can get funded, and then you know you can make money with like uh funded accounts.

00:33:27.000 That's the beauty of America, man.

00:33:28.000 You can come over here, um, get funding, whether it's the bank or uh a lender that wants to trust you, use that money and create a business to change your life.

00:33:38.000 Um but for most people just they just don't know how, you know, for the most part.

00:33:41.000 Um so you're telling me I can get into a prop firm, uh leverage their money, make money, and then if I lose, they'll cover it.

00:33:49.000 Exactly.

00:33:49.000 Okay.

00:33:50.000 So it's pretty good, me.

00:33:51.000 The only thing that you can lose is the fee that you pay initially for the challenge, like for the test, driver's license.

00:33:55.000 So the so what's the downside?

00:33:56.000 It gotta be some downside at all.

00:33:58.000 None?

00:33:59.000 There's the the downside is well, the downside is obviously that people use this not responsibly, that they use this also as a you know, last resort in a way that it's like they're using this as a casino.

00:34:15.000 Because you can do these tests, these evaluations as many times as you want.

00:34:20.000 You can you can pay for a thousand tests and then you can do even like one more, two more.

00:34:23.000 Like you can do as many tests as you want, as many evaluations as you want.

00:34:27.000 So they spend all their money on evaluations, they don't have again also no trading skill, no no trading background, no experience, and they just hope for let's pass the test and let's get one big payout from that firm that solves all my problems that I have accumulated throughout my whole life, and then um I'm a I'm I'm a happy dude.

00:34:45.000 But you know, this is just obviously also uh misleading.

00:34:48.000 So these prop firms make a lot of money because these prop firms make a lot of money by people failing because uh there are a lot of uh uh non-traders participating in these tests.

00:34:59.000 So my my mind is working now, right?

00:35:01.000 Yeah.

00:35:01.000 I'm thinking to myself, okay, if I get into one of these prop firms and I have a mentor that's actually good in this space, but let's follow their trades when I make a lot of money, just doing that.

00:35:10.000 You can potentially do that, yes, 100%.

00:35:12.000 So then you could potentially follow me and you know, copy my trades.

00:35:16.000 So then what's the one one downside, bro?

00:35:20.000 Because I this sounds too good to be true.

00:35:22.000 Yeah, I mean, um maybe the downside if you want to have a downside, but it's not uh it's not a prop trading downside, it's more like a regulation downside.

00:35:30.000 Okay.

00:35:30.000 Because there are no regul right now in that space, also in a prop trading space in the whole trading space, there's almost no uh regulation.

00:35:36.000 So and it's quite quote unquote easy to open up a prop firm.

00:35:40.000 Almost everybody, if they have a little bit of capital, um, can open up a prop firm.

00:35:44.000 It's like wide labeled.

00:35:46.000 And um, so there's no these there are a lot of prop firms out there, they're not really backed by capital, so they might not then if you make money with them, they might not pay you out.

00:35:58.000 So you should not jump on every single jump on every single prop firm.

00:36:02.000 Yeah, so it's not the it's not a fault of props prop trading per se, because prop trading per se is has no downs, really no downside.

00:36:09.000 Bad companies.

00:36:10.000 Yes, that the problem is that there's no regulation, and that's why you have a lot of bad apples in that industry still.

00:36:16.000 Two years ago it was even worse, but now it's like kind of the the space is cleaning it up a little bit more because people are more aware.

00:36:24.000 Um but you should always stick to the biggest prop firms out there, and then you should uh do pretty well that's been there for a while.

00:36:31.000 Exactly.

00:36:32.000 I've seen traders, I won't say names because I don't call names, but promoting certain prop firms. 0.99

00:36:37.000 And uh let's say coffeezilla was on their ass. 0.99

00:36:41.000 I'm gonna say that. 0.99

00:36:42.000 I've seen this as well, but yeah, no, no comment on that.

00:36:44.000 Okay, so let's cover real quick, right?

00:36:46.000 So just to recap.

00:36:48.000 If I get into space, I get a mentor, and I get a proper firm.

00:36:51.000 I'm better off than just do it myself, of course.

00:36:54.000 What if uh people did this instead of doing the leverage trading they did a lot of money?

00:36:59.000 For example, how would that help them to not lose all that money?

00:37:03.000 Yes, I mean I've not traded my I've not traded my I've not touched my own money since I went into prop trading 2022.

00:37:09.000 Ever since I've never never touched my own money.

00:37:12.000 Um because it's why would you why would you touch your own money if you if you if you can leverage prop firms?

00:37:18.000 By the way, prop firms are also left, it's also uh leverage trading.

00:37:21.000 But again, you can do leverage trading responsibly as well.

00:37:24.000 Um and if you're skilled, you do it just if you if this is your profession, if this is your sole income, um you better trade like your life depends on it, you know.

00:37:34.000 Yeah, so you're saying in nutshell, take it take it from a professional standpoint, don't just wing it and try to figure it out.

00:37:40.000 Exactly.

00:37:41.000 Don't don't don't don't don't use prop firms as uh uh you know lot a lot of people have this uh uh slot machine um mentality slot machine mentality test after test after test and hoping for the quote unquote checkpot, right?

00:37:55.000 But that's not that's not sustainable, and you know, usually this doesn't work.

00:37:58.000 Okay, somebody watching right now, they're at home right now, they got like to your name 2K.

00:38:03.000 Yeah, what should they do?

00:38:04.000 A to Z. Get started, start making money as soon as possible.

00:38:07.000 Man, that's hard.

00:38:08.000 That's a question I get asked all the time.

00:38:10.000 It's hard, huh?

00:38:10.000 No, that's it's hard.

00:38:11.000 And and as I and I and I since I as I already said, you know, back in the days when I started, there was no noise.

00:38:18.000 These days there's a lot of noise.

00:38:20.000 And it's hard to find somebody somebody legit because 95% of the stuff out there is really like pure BS.

00:38:28.000 Um but generally speaking, they should find somebody who has some credible results, who has some uh maybe a lot of prop firm certificates because you know once you get paid out.

00:38:39.000 So for me per personally, so when I was awarded the all-time record holder for FTMO, the biggest prop firm in the world, I got a certificate, right?

00:38:46.000 I was like promoted on their on their Instagram.

00:38:48.000 Yeah, received I have receipts, kind of real certificates.

00:38:51.000 And even like when I when you get a payout, a monthly payout, be buy uh any any any payout, you get a certificate, they're like QR codes on it, you can scan it, and you see that as third-party verified, they're legit, like wow, this person can make money consistently in the market.

00:39:07.000 So look for look for um traders that have like these kind of certifications that are verified in the market, not just showing their mobile phone and you know, just hey, look at my results and stuff like that, right?

00:39:19.000 And then there are multiple red flags if you see people on in if you see these traders uh flashing, you know, uh expensive cars, watches, holidays, whatnot, then it's already like uh maybe you should better run, right?

00:39:30.000 Yeah, because uh this is how you should get started.

00:39:32.000 I see people online for sure uh fudge some numbers just to make it look better on the uh screenshots.

00:39:38.000 That's very scary.

00:39:40.000 And this you know, and uh this happened to me by the way as well, right?

00:39:44.000 And this was a guy from Miami.

00:39:46.000 And this also like the scammers, fellas.

00:39:51.000 That's why we you know it's funny because we have this internal joke in in our office in Dubai.

00:39:56.000 We have a trading floor, so we have uh a lot of people there, and we have this uh joke we call them the Miami scammers, you know.

00:40:02.000 It's like uh no, but it's actually it was a uh a cool PR gag and and it's uh because at the end of the day, I was very small back in the days, still I had 5,000 subscribers or so, and this was a very I don't I don't say names, but this was a very um prominent prominent, you know, trader from Miami on YouTube, on social media, everybody thought he's legit.

00:40:26.000 And he actually what he did, he took one of my FTMO payouts, he removed my name.

00:40:32.000 Wow, he put his name on it, but he forgot to to to remove the QR code.

00:40:37.000 And then he po exactly what the fuck And then he posted it on his Instagram stories, like showing off, hey, I made 60k this month.

00:40:46.000 I'm the I'm the I'm the master trader. 0.87

00:40:49.000 And then people were scan like seeing if this is true scanning the QR code and it led to my page.

00:40:55.000 because he forgot to remove the cure.

00:40:58.000 And then it was like a big scandal in our trading world.

00:41:02.000 And I never had an X account.

00:41:04.000 And for that reason, because I was so pissed personally that he did that, He stole my my my payout certificate and promoted like himself with that payout certificate.

00:41:13.000 That I opened that I opened up X. I made an X account just for that.

00:41:17.000 And this I made a I I called him out on X. This was my very first post on X, and this went viral, half a million views or so.

00:41:25.000 And this like was good PR at the end of the day, then people you know got to know me.

00:41:29.000 Yeah.

00:41:30.000 So question.

00:41:31.000 Um what car did you drive?

00:41:33.000 I don't want to say that.

00:41:35.000 It's not a good subject.

00:41:37.000 I can tell by the cars who they are.

00:41:39.000 Especially Miami.

00:41:40.000 Alright, fellas.

00:41:40.000 So you're the crowllo.

00:41:41.000 To the corolla.

00:41:42.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:41:43.000 Today's I'm not driving a hurricane.

00:41:44.000 I'm not driving a lamb, no.

00:43:07.000 Uh go support uh Rumble, of course, as comet as well.

00:43:10.000 Thank you.

00:43:13.000 So um we won't say the person's name, but uh no, but people can find though if they want to if they want to find out that it's easy to find out, I guess.

00:43:20.000 Yeah, you can go on your on your Twitter.

00:43:22.000 What's your Twitter by the way?

00:43:23.000 Um Burn School, I guess.

00:43:25.000 I'm I'm not using I'm really not using uh Twitter at all.

00:43:28.000 I just for these reasons.

00:43:30.000 Okay, so uh back to what's happened now with the marketplace, right?

00:43:33.000 Trump's tariffs are coming down pretty hard on most people, and people are scared to invest money right now.

00:43:38.000 Uh is it gonna affect trading at all, you think the tariffs?

00:43:41.000 No, in general, I would say let me answer this question more more in a general way.

00:43:47.000 Um all these news, what they do is they just accelerate price.

00:43:52.000 Um for us professionals, they create volatility, liquidity, and wall especially volatility in the market, but it just you know makes the market move in the direction the market would have gone anyway, but just maybe a little bit faster.

00:44:06.000 So I wouldn't worry when it comes to retrading, it's about following uh following an objective set of rules, and this objective set of rules will never change regardless of what what what news are out there.

00:44:18.000 So if you're professional uh trader, then you don't have to really worry because all of this tariff stuff and news and Trump and tweets and whatnot is very subjective.

00:44:30.000 It's based on like how you interpret it and like um so there's no for me as a professional trader, there's really no it doesn't make any sense to kind of incorporate this in my in my trading because this would uh remove the objectivity from my trading strategy.

00:44:47.000 Okay, and let's say I'm new to this uh trading game as well.

00:44:49.000 What should I trade?

00:44:50.000 Crypto, like stocks, what should I actually trade to make the the most money you would say?

00:44:54.000 Uh well I as I said in the beginning, I consider myself a multi-asset trader, so trading everything, and because there's something like the power of multi-asset correlations, so I would always learn everything.

00:45:08.000 Eventually you don't have to because they kind of uh markets are correlated and they kind of influence each other.

00:45:14.000 So it's very good if you start learning everything.

00:45:18.000 But especially in the prop trading space.

00:45:20.000 Um so when it comes to prop trading, there's you should well if you want to give go that route to go into prop trading, then you should start forex or futures because this I mean there's also uh prop firms for stocks, but prop trading became very very popular in the FX space.

00:45:38.000 Yeah, I've seen forex a lot.

00:45:40.000 But and and I have to say forex doesn't mean that you only trade currencies, you can trade equity indices like Dow Jones, Nasdaq, you can trade commodities on FX as well.

00:45:49.000 So FX doesn't necessarily mean hey, I you have to trade only currencies, you can trade all markets in the FX space as well.

00:45:55.000 And so yeah, so if you want to go that prop trading route, you can do um FX or futures, right?

00:46:02.000 So right now there's a government shutdown and uh it's been about a couple of days where people are not getting paid.

00:46:07.000 Uh they're pretty much at a standstill.

00:46:09.000 Uh they can go to work for the most part, but they won't get paid.

00:46:12.000 Uh so someone is not working right now that needs to make some income.

00:46:15.000 How fast can they make money right now?

00:46:17.000 You would say for trading.

00:46:19.000 Is it like a couple weeks, uh a month?

00:46:22.000 So everybody who I have to say again, and this is also a red flag.

00:46:25.000 Everybody who tells you, hey, you can become a trader or make money in like X amount of days, week, month is most probably a scam because you cannot put a time frame behind to be honest.

00:46:36.000 Because it's it's it's so it's so individual.

00:46:40.000 Like, are you are you the single are you the single mom who has two kids and has a full-time job and barely has any time to study trading? 0.60

00:46:48.000 Yeah, or are you like the the bored student who has all the time in the world, you know, and access to technology and stuff like that.

00:46:54.000 Um so it really depends on yourself.

00:46:57.000 But I would say if you do it really on in a professional way, you have to give it at least twelve months, a whole year to like see some real long term consistency and not go just in for the checkpoint for the for the checkpot for the quick win in the casino, right?

00:47:15.000 So I would say twelve months, twelve months if you do consistent training.

00:47:18.000 See, that's real because I've had people come and say you can learn in a month or two, make some money, but everyone that I've seen work with them left and says bad things because as I said, red flags.

00:47:29.000 Yeah.

00:47:30.000 Because this takes time and also it's an emotional game.

00:47:32.000 If you're too focused on getting money now, you may mess up and make some mistakes along the way as well.

00:47:37.000 Yes, and people have to understand like trading, as we also established, trading is a is a profession like any other profession in the world.

00:47:44.000 So which profession you can learn in like weeks?

00:47:46.000 Does any profession exist profession this take ages to learn, right?

00:47:50.000 Trading you can do maybe in a little bit of smaller time frame, but it still takes a lot of time and dedication and commitment and people like and that's you know I'm you have to fight against like all the social media crowd who who is saying, Hey, take my seven days course and you become a trader and that's you know complete complete BS because that's not the reality.

00:48:13.000 Yeah.

00:48:14.000 You know what's scary?

00:48:15.000 Uh nowadays we have a lot of information, uh they call it mission overload.

00:48:19.000 And most people watching uh at home, they don't know what to believe.

00:48:22.000 So they may see the lifestyle of the like I said before, they may see some numbers on the screen and say, okay, I can work with this guy.

00:48:29.000 But more often than not, uh it's not always that way.

00:48:32.000 So it's kinda scary.

00:48:33.000 No, they have to have a realistic mindset.

00:48:35.000 So people have to have a realistic mindset, consider trading.

00:48:37.000 So if you start trading now, fresh, if you are like an entrepreneur in trading, right?

00:48:42.000 And you're running a startup basically.

00:48:45.000 But it's a startup because it's a small business, because you're not yet, you know, uh profitable and and professional in that in that profession.

00:48:52.000 So it just takes time, like in any other profession.

00:48:54.000 So people have to have that really entrepreneurial uh professional mindset when they wanna s get into trading.

00:49:01.000 And there's again, there's really no shortcut.

00:49:05.000 And when it sounds too good to be true, most of the times it is too good to be true.

00:49:10.000 You have already the prop firms that help you getting funded.

00:49:13.000 But to make this to make like some kind of sustainable income from these prop firms, you have to be skilled.

00:49:18.000 There's no way around it, right?

00:49:20.000 The specialized skill in trading, it's like the base it's the baseline for everything.

00:49:24.000 That's a good point.

00:49:25.000 We got any tax there, Bills.

00:49:27.000 No.

00:49:27.000 No, so far, okay, cool.

00:49:29.000 So what's the biggest mistake people make in trading, you would think?

00:49:32.000 Uh at this point.

00:49:33.000 Is it like over leveraging?

00:49:35.000 Is it maybe like for example, they don't know they don't have skill.

00:49:38.000 They just don't have skill.

00:49:39.000 They just jump into the market, they think they can easy m make easy money.

00:49:42.000 Because it's so the problem, I guess, right, is because it's so accessible for everyone.

00:49:46.000 They think also, hey, it's so accessible, I can also make easy money.

00:49:50.000 And that's the that's the biggest problem because these people are not traders, they are market participants.

00:49:55.000 They're trying their luck, right? 0.99

00:49:56.000 They they go into crypto, they're buying a shit cone, shit coin, they hope for like the thousand eggs that solves all their problems that has accumulated over their entire life. 0.99

00:50:05.000 That's a problem. 0.99

00:50:05.000 And that's the problem, the biggest problem because people just don't take it serious. 0.99

00:50:09.000 They want to have the kind of casino field.

00:50:12.000 They want to have the checkpot, right?

00:50:14.000 They don't want to put effort into it.

00:50:16.000 They won't want to put effort into it.

00:50:17.000 But it's like effort is what without effort, what what can you what you what can you accomplish in life?

00:50:22.000 Nothing.

00:50:23.000 Yeah.

00:50:23.000 So crypto itself, what are your thoughts on it?

00:50:25.000 And is it more viable you think than trading?

00:50:28.000 No, I never traded.

00:50:30.000 I have a crypto portfolio, you know, buy and hole basically for me.

00:50:33.000 But um, but I don't actively trade crypto.

00:50:36.000 I never needed that.

00:50:37.000 I'm old school, you know.

00:50:38.000 I started, you know, trading stocks in the very beginning, then I went into futures, and then because of prop trading, um, I went into FX.

00:50:46.000 Um so but I never really traded crypto uh myself.

00:50:50.000 Uh but eventually, regardless of once you have a chart, you can trade every chart, whether it's like any kind of, you know, uh whether it's Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any kind of you know, other altcoin altcoin or any other market like the Euro dollar, Dow Jones, gold, you can trade them the same way.

00:51:09.000 If you have a strategy, if you have a uh consistently working strategy, you can just look at the chart and you can analyze the chart and you can place the order regardless of what market it is.

00:51:18.000 Is that considered fundamentals?

00:51:20.000 Is that is that what that's called?

00:51:21.000 Like the big basic of uh Yeah, I mean it's like there are two there are two kind of philosophies.

00:51:27.000 There's fundamental analysis and technical analysis.

00:51:30.000 I for myself I combine both into my strategy, but yeah, they're different philosophies.

00:51:35.000 Okay.

00:51:35.000 And uh I have some friends, Charlie Miguel, shout to them, uh crypto mindset, and they say BTC and Ethereum is what you should focus on.

00:51:43.000 All the rest are kind of like you know, up in the air, but BTC and Ethiopia what they invest in for the most part.

00:51:49.000 Yeah, I I would um agree because everything else is anyway following in uh like broadly speaking, is f is very much correlated.

00:51:58.000 So if if if uh Bitcoin tomorrow dumps 20%, there's no other crypto that goes up.

00:52:04.000 You know, all of all of the stuff goes down.

00:52:06.000 And it's similar to the equity indices, you know, if the if the Nasdaq tomorrow drops five percent, you have the entire stock market crashing.

00:52:12.000 It's very much correlated.

00:52:14.000 So let's say I'm watching the show and I want to get into trading.

00:52:17.000 I've seen where like you're 100% legit, you're doing your thing.

00:52:20.000 What am I gonna learn from you versus other people?

00:52:23.000 Yeah, I I'm not a fan of promoting myself, you know, and and and just people can always, you know, check and I always say, hey, check out my YouTube channel.

00:52:31.000 I've also these days 150,000 subscribers.

00:52:33.000 Yeah, a lot of lot of I pro I I uh provide a lot of free value, like whole strategy courses on YouTube.

00:52:41.000 Um check out my YouTube, and if you like it, then you can go further.

00:52:44.000 But I always say, hey, check out my YouTube, that's it.

00:52:46.000 It's funny because uh in Dubai, there's a lot of like big ballers there.

00:52:50.000 And I know Miami has some balls too, but the real money I think is not Miami.

00:52:55.000 It's in Dubai. 0.99

00:52:56.000 Because everyone goes over there to kind of like keep yourself, I guess, like clean and get shit done.

00:53:01.000 Versus Miami's kind of like, let's flex, let's get a yacht, let's pop out.

00:53:04.000 But the real money thing is in Dubai or like somewhere else, like New York.

00:53:08.000 You might be right.

00:53:09.000 I'm I don't really know.

00:53:10.000 I'm you know, I have my own circle, I have my own trading bubble, you know.

00:53:14.000 Um yeah, I'm I'm I'm not a huge fan of this whole like flashy flashy show off, you know, it's not there's usually nothing tangible for me personally.

00:53:23.000 Well you're not black, so it makes sense. 1.00

00:53:27.000 You know, the mindset is uh, you know, that type of stuff.

00:53:30.000 Um But I will say this though.

00:53:32.000 When I went to Dubai, I had one issue.

00:53:35.000 There were so many holes, bro.

00:53:37.000 Like, what the bro, it was like every corner, like I'm like, bro, I'm just trying to have a good time, like what's going on here?

00:53:43.000 Yeah, it's crazy, right?

00:53:44.000 Because people think it's in the Middle East, yeah.

00:53:46.000 And you have to wear like fully covered, and they're like wearing shorter skirts than everywhere else. 0.97

00:53:51.000 All hotels is like just holes in I'm like, bro, like what if I got kids here?

00:53:55.000 This is crazy, man.

00:53:56.000 Yeah, I know it's Dubai was fun.

00:53:58.000 Uh good.

00:53:59.000 So good friends, uh But I don't know.

00:54:01.000 It's very open.

00:54:02.000 People have like also misconception about Dubai because they think it's the Middle East, it's desert, it's camels, it's like nothing there.

00:54:07.000 But it's it's like really like it's like Miami, basically.

00:54:11.000 So Burn, listen, man, let's keep it real with me.

00:54:13.000 What do you spend your money on?

00:54:14.000 Because at this point you make good money.

00:54:15.000 I know you're chilling over there in Dubai.

00:54:17.000 Do you get yachts?

00:54:18.000 Do you get like dinners?

00:54:19.000 What do you do with your money, bro?

00:54:21.000 What I do with my money.

00:54:23.000 Um I don't know.

00:54:26.000 I you know, I like what I do right now is um I like a small island that is called Kosamui.

00:54:34.000 I don't know if you heard it, it's like a small island next to Thailand.

00:54:37.000 It's a very small island, very intimate.

00:54:39.000 Um you can drive around the island in like um literally an hour, an hour 30.

00:54:45.000 That's how small the island is.

00:54:46.000 It's like really like the Caribbean.

00:54:48.000 Yeah, and I buying kind of two, three hours, and then you're around the island.

00:54:52.000 And I'm building real estate there just for myself and the future, renting.

00:54:56.000 I love it to be there.

00:54:57.000 My I go I we always travel there when my daughter has holidays, you know, just like it's comp it's like an island lifestyle in a way.

00:55:03.000 It's complete opposite of Dubai, it's completely laid back, relaxed, you know.

00:55:08.000 You can go everywhere with flip flops and shorts, and you don't have to wear a t-shirt.

00:55:11.000 It's like island life, like you can drink your coconut.

00:55:14.000 I love the coconut?

00:55:15.000 Oh, let's put it on.

00:55:16.000 Oh god, let's go!

00:55:18.000 I'm I'm in.

00:55:19.000 I love that lifestyle, yeah, that laid back lifestyle.

00:55:22.000 You know, we got a phrase here in the studio coconuts and Barbados.

00:55:26.000 Uh it's like it's most probably so Kosamui is like that. 0.98

00:55:29.000 And I love that lifestyle.

00:55:30.000 So it's kind of the nice transition from hectic Dubai, flashy Dubai to go to an island and just chill.

00:55:37.000 So last night I was with academics and a famous rapper, I won't say his name, and we're at this mega mansion house, and it's funny because the guy was like, I went to Bali, and he was stayed, he was supposed to stay there for like five days.

00:55:51.000 He stayed for eight months. 0.99

00:55:52.000 I'm like, what the fuck? 1.00

00:55:54.000 Exactly. 1.00

00:55:54.000 So he's like the life. 1.00

00:55:56.000 I don't care about jewelry, I couple cars.

00:55:59.000 I feel free here.

00:56:00.000 I'm on a scooter, I go to the mall, I go get food, it's cheap, lifestyle's better.

00:56:05.000 I feel alive.

00:56:06.000 In America, we're kind of stuck here because we see all the glitz and glamour, but it's more life than just this.

00:56:11.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:56:11.000 Like it's a hundred you know what I call it?

00:56:13.000 It's judgment free.

00:56:15.000 It's judgment free.

00:56:16.000 Yeah, nobody cares, like there are no nice cars on the island, you know.

00:56:21.000 There's no there are no no roads like for nice cars.

00:56:24.000 Everybody drives scooter or everybody drives like you know, like um Fort Ranger or something.

00:56:30.000 You know, this is like if you have a Ford Ranger, then you made it, you know.

00:56:32.000 Yeah.

00:56:34.000 Um and it's judgment free, so it's very, very, very chill.

00:56:37.000 I love that style.

00:56:38.000 I would encourage everyone watching at some point, take a trip out of America, go to like Bali.

00:56:43.000 Uh I want to go there myself actually after hearing that story.

00:56:45.000 Um Kosamui is like Bali, basically, yeah. 0.96

00:56:48.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:56:49.000 Go to like the Caribbean because you're gonna see that this life to live in America is fast paced, hectic for no reason. 0.61

00:56:56.000 Honestly, you're working, sorry.

00:56:58.000 You're living to work.

00:56:58.000 It's it's crazy.

00:56:59.000 But over there, you just live to live life.

00:57:01.000 And I feel like most people watching nowadays, they stuck up on like oh car can I get lifestyle.

00:57:05.000 I did it all by the way, guys.

00:57:06.000 I did everything.

00:57:07.000 Car jewelry lifestyle, you guys know it, I do everything.

00:57:09.000 But the best part about life now is just good people, good experiences, and making good money.

00:57:15.000 And that's what I appreciate the most.

00:57:17.000 And you know, um, I'm transitioning into that lifestyle.

00:57:20.000 Right now, I would say it's 80% Dubai, 20% Kosamui. 0.92

00:57:24.000 And at some point in time it should be maybe 20% Dubai, 80% Kosamui. 0.98

00:57:29.000 You're 42, right?

00:57:29.000 42, yeah.

00:57:30.000 When do you want to retire?

00:57:31.000 Um never.

00:57:32.000 Never?

00:57:33.000 Never.

00:57:33.000 I I always said I want to trade for the rest of my life.

00:57:36.000 I mean, also for me, it's a red flag when people do consider trading as a job that to say I need to retire.

00:57:42.000 You know, trading it doesn't require a lot of time the way how I trade.

00:57:44.000 We call it set and forget and get a life.

00:57:46.000 I trade it, do my analysis during the weekend.

00:57:48.000 I trade sorry, just not cut you off, but like uh so what's your routine?

00:57:52.000 Because I got friends that trade as well.

00:57:54.000 They wake up for stocks and then do whate whatever they feel like.

00:57:56.000 No, no, I I'm not a day trader, by the way.

00:57:58.000 Okay, you're not.

00:57:59.000 No, I'm a swing trader.

00:58:00.000 I'm a swing trader.

00:58:01.000 But like, what's your like day-to-day like routine?

00:58:03.000 Yeah, no, um, my day-to-day day routine is basically on the weekend, I do my analysis on all the markets, and then I place my trades during the week, which takes me 15 to 30 minutes.

00:58:13.000 Um that's why I'm running multiple trading related businesses as well.

00:58:18.000 And you know, I have a lot of time on my hands right now on that world podcast tour.

00:58:22.000 Um, I was uh two weeks, three weeks ago, I was in Colombia and Medellin.

00:58:26.000 Um, I'm gonna say this right now, brother.

00:58:30.000 That spot bro, for the hoes is Columbia. 1.00

00:58:35.000 It's overhyped.

00:58:35.000 Because everyone goes there now.

00:58:37.000 I don't know.

00:58:37.000 I saw so many Americans.

00:58:38.000 It was crazy, bro.

00:58:39.000 Bro, I'm telling you, it's a mini-American now. 1.00

00:58:41.000 Yeah, it's listen.

00:58:42.000 Back in the day, 2014, sorry no, 2016 when I got I was here.

00:58:46.000 I went on a trip with some friends over there.

00:58:48.000 It was low-key.

00:58:50.000 No one was really there.

00:58:51.000 And hoes were harassing us, right? 1.00

00:58:53.000 Come here, papi, blah blah blah. 0.98

00:58:55.000 Super bien.

00:58:56.000 But now it's like Americans are all all there. 1.00

00:58:59.000 And I'm like, bro, it's like Papi Propina, bro.

00:59:02.000 I just it's in your face.

00:59:04.000 It was such a touristy place.

00:59:05.000 I was so surprised because people were like, Are you safe there?

00:59:08.000 Are you safe there?

00:59:08.000 You know, yeah.

00:59:09.000 Can you really travel there?

00:59:10.000 I was walking around in the at night, you know, like this was so busy.

00:59:14.000 By yourself?

00:59:14.000 By myself, yeah, yeah.

00:59:15.000 Oh, you're brave.

00:59:16.000 See, I go in a group because you know a bunch of niggas, bro. 1.00

00:59:19.000 Stand up to us.

00:59:20.000 But yeah, I will say this.

00:59:22.000 What dangerous is is when you're there by yourself and you go to girl alone. 0.94

00:59:25.000 Like going alone with a girl to her heart to her spot, that's weird because you don't know what she's up to.

00:59:30.000 She might rob you, set you up. 0.97

00:59:31.000 But we're in a group like that, we're good because it's like four or five guys, we're good.

00:59:34.000 Yeah, you protect each other basically.

00:59:35.000 Nothing wrong.

00:59:36.000 Yeah, no, this was nice.

00:59:37.000 And now I'm in the US.

00:59:38.000 I was in Las Vegas, and uh now in Miami, then in Phoenix.

00:59:41.000 So I'm traveling the world as well for like podcasts and stuff and speak about trading, about retrading.

00:59:46.000 Um it's really fun.

00:59:47.000 So I always like to get from people that are older than me some advice because I'm 33, I'm learning as well as time goes by what I should focus on, become a better man.

00:59:57.000 But as an older guy yourself, what would you say is for someone that's 20s and 20s, 30s watching that you learned about life?

01:00:05.000 Um definitely it's it's a lot about being disciplined, regardless of what you're doing.

01:00:12.000 Um for me, it was always um I'm I'm I'm 42 years old.

01:00:17.000 Um I'm I'm training in the gym since I'm 18.

01:00:19.000 You know, I can see bro.

01:00:20.000 I'm trying to guns, man.

01:00:21.000 Let's go.

01:00:22.000 And six pack, man.

01:00:23.000 I'm on the way, fellas.

01:00:24.000 Don't worry, I'm on the way.

01:00:25.000 I've I'm I'm trying to stay fit and healthy, you know, like living that kind of life.

01:00:29.000 That's for me actually the most important.

01:00:31.000 You don't kind of you take it as as I don't know, grand.

01:00:36.000 You take it as granted when you're younger that you know the lifestyle, nothing will hurt you.

01:00:40.000 You feel like a superhero, yeah.

01:00:42.000 Yeah, superhuman.

01:00:43.000 But you know, I can tell when you get older, you know, everything slows down, and you have to kind of work double or triple as hard.

01:00:49.000 Um, I can tell by from looking at you your age, bro.

01:00:52.000 Yo, Bills, what do you say?

01:00:53.000 Todos las dias?

01:00:55.000 What does that mean again?

01:00:56.000 Every day.

01:00:57.000 Oh, every day.

01:00:57.000 Every day.

01:00:58.000 There you go.

01:00:59.000 Yeah, so now because dude, you're in good shape, bro.

01:01:01.000 Yeah, thank you.

01:01:02.000 No, no, I'm doing a lot to do, like dive-wise, gym-wise.

01:01:05.000 You know, I live in that lifestyle as well.

01:01:06.000 It's very important to like uh stay mentally fit and also like uh having like a great performance on a daily base, like whatever I'm doing business-wise, um, also when it comes to exercise or gym.

01:01:18.000 Um but so being disciplined in whatever you're doing is like very important.

01:01:24.000 And for me, it was always more about not chasing the money, but actually rather getting detached from money, and then you know, if you just follow a process, then you know, money will follow automatically because money is at the end of the day at the at the end of the day, just the result of following any certain process that works, right?

01:01:43.000 So um, so for me it was getting detached from money and you know, being like disciplined, and then everything just follows through.

01:01:50.000 Good point.

01:01:50.000 By the way, Quantum Tech, listen, bro, it's been a while since I've been at Columbia.

01:01:55.000 Also, Sinos.

01:01:56.000 I'm on the way, nigga. 1.00

01:01:57.000 Don't worry. 0.99

01:01:57.000 Give me like two, three months, nigga. 0.99

01:01:59.000 I've been in the gym consistently. 0.94

01:02:00.000 It's been a month so far, so I'm on the way, nigga. 0.99

01:02:03.000 Let's go.

01:02:03.000 Uh in chats, before we close out.

01:02:08.000 Also, guys, Myron is actually traveling right now for a show.

01:02:11.000 Um, he's gonna do some politics shows um here in America.

01:02:14.000 I won't say where yet because obviously he's doing it locally.

01:02:18.000 You'll see me soon pretty soon on uh some cameras.

01:02:21.000 Alright.

01:02:23.000 Oh, this is this is our like private um membership.

01:02:26.000 This is one of our producers.

01:02:28.000 Oh, he had fun.

01:02:28.000 He had a lot of fun, I can tell.

01:02:30.000 For my birthday.

01:02:30.000 Ah, for my birthday.

01:02:31.000 Oh, I'm gonna go.

01:02:32.000 Secret footage, secret who leaked it, who leaked it.

01:02:34.000 Oh, I leaked it.

01:02:36.000 I enjoyed seeing my uh friend and a colleague have fun.

01:02:40.000 That was the best gift to me.

01:02:42.000 I I know, yeah, yeah.

01:02:43.000 He was talking in Spanish to them, Mamacita. 0.99

01:02:45.000 Oh shit, that's fun. 1.00

01:02:47.000 Sensational. 1.00

01:02:47.000 I can imagine. 1.00

01:02:48.000 Sensational.

01:02:49.000 Uh and good to go, Bills?

01:02:51.000 Yeah, we're all right.

01:02:53.000 So, Byrne, this is a great show.

01:02:55.000 I think this is very informative.

01:02:56.000 And keeping it real is important because most traders I see today are just flexing lifestyle with no real actual receipts and that just goes to show people will fall over this because it looks good.

01:03:06.000 I'll be honest with you.

01:03:07.000 When I was coming up, I saw a nice car.

01:03:09.000 I was like, oh this person's rich.

01:03:11.000 But it could be a lease.

01:03:12.000 It could be a rental.

01:03:13.000 It could be a finance.

01:03:14.000 So I just think that most people nowadays, like I was before, are shopping what they see online.

01:03:19.000 But in person and receipts, it's hard to come by.

01:03:22.000 That's true.

01:03:22.000 And that's why I like podcasts as well.

01:03:24.000 I think you can podcast you see who is authentic or not. 0.96

01:03:28.000 You cannot bullshit for like one hour straight. 0.94

01:03:30.000 That's how I see it. 0.95

01:03:31.000 That's why I like also to speak on podcasts.

01:03:32.000 Yeah.

01:03:33.000 Also we'll put this everywhere put everywhere as well for you for supporting the show.

01:03:36.000 And where can I find your brother?

01:03:38.000 Well you can find me on YouTube Burns Koropinsky on Instagram Burns Koropinsky.

01:03:42.000 I mean um it's easy to find me these days on social media.
