00:18:03.000So it's going to be a very good time, guys.
00:18:05.000Make sure to go ahead and get your yacht party tickets now, man.
00:18:08.000We also have one VIP spot left at $3,500.
00:18:11.000You get to party with us before, and then after, Fresh is going to take you to the club, and you're going to automatically be enrolled for a Rolex giveaway on the yacht that we're going to run.
00:18:19.000So it's going to be a good time, guys.
00:18:30.000So, yeah, it's going to be awesome, guys.
00:18:35.000And then as far as I said today, we're going to be answering questions, etc.
00:18:38.000We might open up the phone lines for you guys and answer some of your guys' questions.
00:18:43.000So for people that aren't in Castle Club, you can ask questions to our Castle Club community because we've got a bunch of generals in there that have different expertises from different parts of the country.
00:18:51.000And I'm going to actually segue it right to our boy D.L. Sainte, who is pretty much one of the main guys that run Castle Club.
00:19:32.000We've had to slow ourselves down because we're getting such a great turnout here with what guys want to come to Castle Club.
00:19:39.000I want to start out by saying this for you guys out there, right?
00:19:43.000Castle Club, the city groups, this is not a discord, guys.
00:19:46.000So if you're coming in with a Discord mentality, you might want to hold off in linking up with us because we're all about work.
00:19:53.000Here in Tampa, we just had a meet-up last night, and one of our members owns a really nice restaurant bar, like, in the heart of Ybor City.
00:20:02.000Y'all know that sounds familiar because that's where Matthew Cox was doing all his activity back in the day.
00:20:08.000That was a great episode, by the way, man.
00:20:10.000By the way, Saint, thank you for setting that up.
00:20:11.000Saint is the one that actually made that interview happen.
00:20:13.000So if you guys enjoyed that interview that we did with Matthew Cox, you can thank Saint because he's the one that set that up and put us in touch with Matthew Cox.
00:24:23.000Obviously, we had to make sure that it was...
00:24:25.000We have to have a tighter leash on it, man, because we don't want people misrepresenting us, doing some wild shit on the Discord, and we have some issues with that.
00:24:32.000So, you know, I know some people aren't happy about that, but hey, man, at the end of the day, we got to protect the image, protect the brand, and, you know, having guys in there doing dumb shit is not really what it is.
00:24:42.000So we do have a Discord for the Castle Club guys.
00:24:44.000You want to go in there, you want to bullshit and everything else like that, have discussions on the show, cool.
00:25:29.000The Discord's easier to get into than the city groups, but then once you get in there, then it's time to work and make money and network with some guys and be on some shit.
00:25:45.000If the people doing the vetting got some questions, then they send you to me, and then I'll give you a call, and I'll see what's up with you.
00:25:52.000We're not looking to get rid of anyone.
00:25:54.000We want to help We want everyone to get involved, but y'all know what it is.
00:26:59.000So yeah, for the people that haven't been, you know, doing what you're supposed to do, they're going to purge it and then start from scratch.
00:27:04.000And then all those people that come in, they're going to go ahead and make sure that you're actually like vetted.
00:27:08.000Because we want to get as many guys into their respective groups so you can start networking and meeting people in your city and start making some shit happen.
00:27:13.000So, all right, let's go to the Zoom calls.
00:27:16.000And then what I'm thinking is we'll give it a little bit of time and then I'm going to have the generals that are here introduce themselves to the audience.
00:28:11.000Everything's going pretty smooth, so I want to shout out to Myron Fresh and DL Saint and a lot of the guys there for giving me the advice and giving me the initiative to move and make and, you know, just to invest in myself.
00:28:23.000So, I just want to say that off the bat.
00:28:54.000So yeah, just start with matching in the beginning, and then if you don't have any other investment opportunities that you're looking towards, then yeah, you can start maxing out your 401k.
00:29:02.000But personally, there's much better endeavors that you could put your money into versus 401ks, because the reality is with 401ks, you can't really touch it until you come of a certain age without serious penalty, unless it's a Roth.
00:29:12.000So, I would start with matching, unless you have other investment prospects, and if you don't, then obviously you could go ahead and max it on every year, which if I'm not mistaken, is somewhere probably around $18,000 to $20,000 per year you can put in.
00:29:41.000And then we'll move to the next person, because there's a lot of hands.
00:29:43.000Just real quick, the last thing I have is that, so my job introduced me and my offer that they're going to give me a 60-day evaluation process, and if I pass the flying colors, they're going to increase my salary by $5,000.
00:29:56.000So I just wanted to hear from you guys real quick.
00:29:58.000I know that you guys emphasis on providing value and filling in the gaps where there are deficiencies in order to increase your appeal and overall bring value to the establishment.
00:30:09.000So I want to know specifically, what are, I guess, three to five things that you guys would recommend that I do right off the bat?
00:30:16.000I'm doing as much as I can right now to...
00:30:25.000Be the first one there and the last one to leave.
00:30:27.000Be the first one there and the last one to leave.
00:30:29.000Or at least bare minimum, always be the last one to leave.
00:31:37.000Obviously, you don't care sass, of course, but I'm just saying like, find out what they actually want or what they actually like to do and then you make sure you make it happen for them.
00:31:44.000And take over some of your manager's duties.
00:32:00.000But trust me, he's going to think to himself, God damn, this dude's making life a lot easier.
00:32:04.000And if there's like company events, like after work, like socials, go to them, meet people, network, of course, and then see where you can fit in to add value.
00:32:11.000The key, bro, is to get into a position where like they got to think three times before they let you go.
00:32:17.000So whatever you got to do where it's like they can't necessarily operate at full optimality without you, then you know you're doing a good job.
00:32:25.000You don't want to be an interchangeable spoke, which is what most people do when they get a job.
00:32:30.000They just come in, fill a void, they're an interchangeable piece.
00:32:34.000But if you become a piece where you're not interchangeable, it's like, holy shit, we can't necessarily operate unless this guy is here, or we can't operate at the best level, then that's when you know that you got your shit together.
00:32:46.000Okay, so just to sum it up, just do what the GM normally hates.
00:32:52.000Just be there just to fill in the gaps.
00:35:04.000I already told him to stop smoking, stop doing that stuff, and to get on his grind already.
00:35:09.000I already pointed him in the right direction.
00:35:10.000This is for any future guys who are having an issue and haven't heard about this.
00:35:13.000Definitely go ahead and sign up in here.
00:35:15.000I'll let you know about your violations.
00:35:17.000And I'll let you know exactly when you're good to go.
00:35:20.000And it will show you how many violations you have.
00:35:22.000If it's good to go, just say zero violations.
00:35:24.000And they'll start pointing you in the right direction on how to get recertified, you know, going to the classes, kind of like AA classes, basically.
00:35:33.000Alright, so that's for people that might have had, we had a guy, the reason why you guys are probably wondering in the chat what the hell's going on here is because we had a guy that had an issue where he got caught smoking weed, he lost his CDL, and he was trying to figure out a way to get back on his feet so that he can like, you know, get back into the trucking game or finding some other professional.
00:35:49.000We told him like, hey bro, it's been like two years ago.
00:35:51.000So we're like, hey, you can actually get back in now and we helped him out with that.
00:35:54.000Imagine your career got jeopardized by just smoking some weed.
00:36:24.000So I created an LLC Escorp under personal services using my name for a personal brand.
00:36:30.000I plan to create content around self-improvement.
00:36:32.000If I get a business credit card for my personal brand, can I tax write-off equipment that I might need to record videos or vacations that I might take as long as I'm recording content?
00:36:41.000How does that work with the tax write-off?
00:36:42.000Your personal brand for business credit?
00:36:57.000So what I do is I'll give my actual car statements to my CPA, which is going to be your accountant.
00:37:04.000He'll look at it from the actual charges from whatever you charge within the year or month, and you can write them off depending on what they are.
00:37:10.000So for example, equipment, you could definitely write off as well.
00:37:13.000Travel, food, I believe it's up to a certain percentage.
00:37:17.000And as well as dinner for like business as well is another write-off.
00:37:23.000So whatever you write off on that card, I'm sorry, whatever you do on the card can be written off as business once it's documented.
00:37:29.000As long as I'm doing content, or do I have to be doing content, or is it just as long as it's on the card?
00:37:34.000If it's business, you're going to be fine.
00:37:36.000But again, make sure your CPA has that actual statement sheet so it's there, so they can actually see what's happening in real time.
00:37:43.000You could just say whatever, but you need to see it to document it.
00:37:46.000He wants to write off his charges for business.
00:37:49.000Yeah, I would say get a business credit card ASAP because that's going to make your life a lot easier because if you have all your business expenses on one credit card, when it comes to accounting at the end of the year, it's going to be way simpler.
00:37:58.000So what I do is I have an Amex card that I use specifically for Fresh and Fit and I got an Amex card that I use specifically for my real estate business and I just give my accountant my Amex card for Fresh and Fit and then one for my real estate business and he can go ahead and differentiate the charges right then and there.
00:38:13.000And also, if you tell your CPA in advance what's happening, you can get very creative and tell you what more you can do to write off as well.
00:38:19.000But try to get a business credit card as soon as you can, bro, because that'll make accounting a lot easier for you.
00:38:23.000Yes, in the beginning, when you're getting your business just started, you can use your personal credit card and then, like, you know, differentiate it from there.
00:38:27.000But try to get a, now that you got your LLC and everything else like that already set up, like, you might as well just try to get a business card now while you can.
00:38:33.000And the best part is, it doesn't affect your personal credit.
00:38:35.000So it doesn't affect you at all, personally.
00:40:38.000I mean, because what you've effectively done now is you've hurt your ability to acquire debt now because now you have debt that you're responsible for, but you don't necessarily even, you know what I mean?
00:40:48.000Like, you don't have control of the asset, or in this case, the cars.
00:41:15.000I haven't joined this program yet, but I know, like, you know, I'm going to have to get, like, you know, vehicles under my name.
00:41:20.000Okay, so here's the only issue I can see coming up that's going to be very apparent for you, bro, is that if you want to get a car under G&M's program, you're going to need a good credit score and a good history.
00:41:30.000Do you have any cars under your belt right now, other than the, I think, truck you said?
00:43:18.000Unless you find somebody that's going to take that burden for you that already did the work and just give them the money for the car and you guys work on it, co-sign it.
00:43:26.000But then again, you're doing what you did in the first place with somebody else by putting them on your credit.
00:43:30.000Why do I need so much money just to be able to start?
00:43:34.000The problem is that if you want to own the car to rent it out, you're going to have to put down payment on the car.
00:44:20.000But the problem is that you don't have the capital right now to acquire these vehicles which are going to give you the cash flow in the future.
00:44:26.000Now you can go ahead and get yourself a cheaper car, but it's not going to be rented as much to get you the cash flow that you desire to make back that money that you're trying to earn.
00:44:36.000So that's what Fresh is trying to explain to you is that you basically need to get a car that's always going to be out.
00:44:41.000But for you to get a car that's going to always be out, it's going to cost money.
00:44:44.000Because you're going to need a car that's kind of what I consider mid-tier exotic.
00:44:49.000Where it's exotic enough where people are like, I need to rent this thing because I can't get it myself.
00:44:54.000But at the same time, it's got to be low enough where it's like still affordable for a renter that wants to come to Miami and float for a bit.
00:49:35.000Because I know you guys, he was saying that they have private lenders as well.
00:49:40.000That's going to be credit cards, yeah.
00:49:41.000So, I mean, you could go that route as well.
00:49:43.000You know, you could definitely go that route as well and use the credit cards and, like, leverage the credit cards and get the cash out and then, you know, go ahead and get stuff started.
00:49:50.000But I would say, bro, if you can, man, try to get your name off of all these fucking loans, dude.
00:49:54.000Because if you're going to get that card using Andrew's Method, you're going to need, like, a bunch of cash.
00:50:58.000I wanted to ask, when you're dealing with blue pill people in networking, how do you manage your feelings or your facial expressions?
00:51:08.000Because I'm really expressive when I talk or when I'm dealing with somebody, and it's really hard for me to deal with women or blue pill dudes and keep a straight face.
00:51:18.000I think that's the first time I've ever heard this question.
00:52:00.000Because I'm doing it for a greater good, which is the podcast.
00:52:02.000So mentally, I'm like, okay, going into this scenario, I know I have to be cool, calm, collected, because if I freak out and I mess up certain things, it's going to mess up the whole chain of effects, and then it won't come on the podcast.
00:52:15.000I won't say who, but a recent guest that came on the show, sometimes we don't align how we think.
00:52:21.000We don't align how we think sometimes.
00:52:23.000It's like, okay, he just said this, and I'm like, damn, that makes no sense, and it's garbage.
00:52:27.000But I know if I just play it cool, the result is he's coming on the podcast, we're going to be cool, and it's good for the show.
00:52:34.000So, it's more of an external force pushing me to be a certain way, more than myself, because I look at it as, what's the greater good for the podcast than myself and the business?
00:52:43.000But I'm telling you, bro, it's hard, man, because, like, dude, the shit they say, bro, I'm like, this is retarded, bro.
00:52:48.000But, hey, again, it's for the podcast, so that's why I do it.
00:52:51.000So maybe find a cause outside of yourself that's going to be either for success, business, or maybe even for your company, whatever that may be.
00:52:59.000Once that's solidified in your mind, then you can say, you know what?
00:53:03.000This is for a reason, to a means to an end.
00:54:13.000And guys, this is, bro, we do Zoom calls like this all the time, guys, on Castle Club, man, so jump on in.
00:54:20.000Hell, I might even open up the phone lines unless some of you guys call in, man, that aren't a part of the Castle Club, just so you guys can get some of the value that we have here.
00:55:11.000So as I transitioned to an entrepreneur, it's been pretty overwhelming because obviously when you're an employee, you obviously have everything managed from your schedule, the hours you work, your taxes, everything, etc.
00:55:49.000Once it starts becoming overwhelming, that's a good and bad thing.
00:55:52.000Because what that means is it's probably time for you to start scaling and getting people to start assisting you with things that are mundane and take a lot of time.
00:55:59.000And also in business, bro, you have to do what you're good at.
00:56:01.000So if you're good at, for example, doing the main tasks, then that's what you should do only.
00:56:10.000I was looking at it like that as well, because I got a lot of capital too.
00:56:14.000And I'm like, there's certain tasks that I can do, but it's like, it takes up a lot of my time and I don't enjoy doing it, such as like, for example, content creation, like editing and stuff like that.
00:56:26.000Outsource that immediately, especially editing, because editing is extremely time-consuming, and it can be very cumbersome and annoying, especially if you don't like doing it.
00:56:35.000So that's one of the first things I actually outsourced when I got on social media, was I outsourced editing immediately, bro, because that is...
00:56:42.000One of the most time-consuming and pain in the ass things, and you can do it for relatively cheap with hiring other people.
00:56:47.000So that right there is going to save you a bunch of time.
00:56:50.000Yeah, you think Elon Musk, Donald Trump, all these guys' businesses are doing petty work?
00:57:08.000Yeah, so just get to that point where, I mean, you obviously want to get to that point, but for now, I'll source the editor immediately, bro.
01:00:48.000And guys, just so you guys know, to call into the show, 556059740, if you superchat the last four digits of your number, you will go ahead and cut the line, okay?
01:00:56.000So that's probably the best way and fast way to get on, because obviously we got Zoom, we got the phone calls, we got a bunch of things going on.
01:01:02.000Shout out to Bill's got a million things moving at once, man.
01:01:54.000He's been on my team, and he's been consistent.
01:01:57.000He's gone through the trials and tribulations of going through this YouTube business.
01:02:01.000And, uh, when you, when you, when you're making clips and you're trying to stay with people, man, it definitely can be tough.
01:02:08.000So, um, I definitely second what you're talking about, about allocating responsibilities and then eventually, you know, paying someone to do, you know, do the work.
01:02:18.000So, um, I guess my question to you guys would be now that I am fully monetized, I hit the 4,000 watch hours.
01:02:25.000I have all of the, um, the subscribers that I need.
01:04:43.000I've been working with Myron and Fresh since 2021.
01:04:46.000And I've been back and forth to Miami, and I'm truly blessed from everybody that...
01:04:51.000All you guys that take a part in Money Clips, whether it be a like, you're watching the videos, you know, all the mods, man, I really appreciate everything y'all do because y'all, we took a collective effort and we put this together.
01:05:45.000But yeah, we'll double-check with Chris and make sure you're white-listed.
01:05:47.000But yeah, bro, I would say now, just really, now that you're monetized, man, two to three shorts per day, two to three clips per day, just do that consistently, and you're just going to keep growing.
01:05:55.000And also, for those of you that are watching, go check out the channel.
01:07:28.000About a year ago, there was a call that I made to you guys, and...
01:07:34.000I didn't realize I was on, and long story short, I didn't hear my last four numbers, and basically there was the episode with you guys talking about success porn, and I was the first caller, and I was the one that made that Timmy noise.
01:09:51.000Myron, I actually did graduate in a field similar to yours where I could have been actually a strength coach, but I never pursued the profession because I became disenfranchised with the whole industry, no offense,
01:10:07.000because I'm more of a fan of Training people to get strong and performance-wise, I could really give two craps about the whole looking good game.
01:10:17.000I mean, it's important to look good, but I'd rather be strong and fit.
01:10:24.000Obviously, save up as much money as you can if you think that your days are numbered because your position is going to be outsourced or automated.
01:10:31.000And find another job, and bro, just start over.
01:11:04.000I would say focus on finding a sustainable steady income first.
01:11:12.000Then if you want to go ahead and start doing YouTube or content creation on the side, you can do that.
01:11:16.000But number one, you need to get some kind of money coming in that's consistent so you can pay your bills and handle that.
01:11:22.000Once you have that handled, then you can go ahead and take that extra time that you have and put it into content creation to start up a side hustle.
01:12:03.000Like you live here in Florida, which, you know, it's fairly cheap depending on where you are, but you need to make more than $35,000 per year, my friend.
01:12:09.000Like we need to be, you know, trying to break into the six figures at this point.
01:16:21.000I want to know if it's a good idea to keep going, because the people I hang out with are telling me one thing, and you guys are saying another.
01:16:59.000I want to create a product that people need, you know?
01:17:05.000Kind of like what Elon Musk did with his cars and stuff, so...
01:17:10.000Okay, so you know what you gotta do, bro?
01:17:12.000Create a roadmap and start in the ground and running and work for somebody else and then from there, work your way up to learn how the industry works, how companies work, how to become that leader that you want to be and then make your own company.
01:17:26.000Yeah, start working for somebody first so you can kind of figure things out and you can make some mistakes while you still are employed by somebody.
01:18:33.000Work for somebody else in computer science, in the industry, learn the ins and outs of it, and then make your own company software developer.
01:21:42.000I have a first meeting tomorrow and some workouts coming up soon too.
01:21:49.000I think a big misconception that a lot of the members have is that all of us have six figures on our bank account and all that kind of stuff, but a lot of our guys are regular blue-collar guys and roughnecks.
01:23:33.000I mean, there's a lot of people in the Atlanta chat, they're really getting active, and we're over here at least holding each other accountable.
01:24:08.000So if anybody has questions about wholesaling, et cetera, he's there in the Atlanta metropolitan area, obviously a huge metropolitan area, and he's in real estate wholesaling.
01:24:16.000You said for creative financing and seller financing as well, helping people with that?
01:24:19.000Yeah, seller financing subject to all of that.
01:25:52.000Yeah, so background is, so I'm a former defense contractor.
01:25:57.000My background is in engineering, under the electrical umbrella.
01:26:03.000But now I work in IT. I do DevOps engineering, which is effectively high-level IT, automate a lot of the tasks a lot of sys administrators do.
01:28:33.000So, as I said, I'm the Charlotte General.
01:28:36.000I've been the General for almost a month now, and Castle Club has just been amazing for me.
01:28:41.000Quick little background, I'm a CDL driver slash crane operator.
01:28:45.000I do a lot of construction material delivery, particularly drywall.
01:28:49.000So anytime you guys see a truck going down the road that's loaded down with metal or wood or any type of drywall, that'd be me operating those.
01:28:56.000I've been doing that for about four years now.
01:28:59.000A little side business that I had for a very long time, full time, depending on how you look at it, was horse training.
01:29:05.000Not a lot of people really know that about me nowadays.
01:29:07.000I don't really say too much about it, but horse training was actually my first business.
01:29:11.000I did that for a very long time, almost 10 years in the industry.
01:29:14.000Nowadays, I do a lot of boxing as well.
01:29:40.000If you're not in Castle Club, I don't know what you're doing, because I was about to make a career change, and you can ask DL Saint about this.
01:29:47.000I literally sent him a message just as a regular member, wasn't a general, wasn't nothing.
01:31:04.000And the fact that we got someone that's a horse trainer in here is wild because that's like a profession that's...
01:31:08.000Very nuanced and specific, and that's really cool because who knows, there might be someone here that loves horseback riding or whatever, and we got an expert here.
01:31:15.000So, guys, this is the type of people, you meet really interesting people in Cows Club that come from different fucking vast backgrounds and different expertises and different sources of knowledge that you would never think, like, holy crap, even me, I'm just listening, 10 years in horse training, who would think that?
01:32:31.000So it's hard to find good people for that.
01:32:33.000So I'm pretty good at venting that out.
01:32:35.000And then also, I will say this, Myron.
01:32:38.000I met you and Fresh on the yacht about two years ago for the One Million Party.
01:32:43.000It was me and my one friend, who's also the VP for the Charlotte Group.
01:32:47.000And after that meetup with you guys, I completely changed everything with my motivation.
01:32:52.000I mean, I went from making $30K a year to jumping up to $75K a year just by switching career paths that you guys were able to push forward with that.
01:33:00.000So, I mean, I've just gotten so much value from you guys that I'm just excited to kind of bring that to new people, you know?
01:33:34.000Guys, this is the beauty of Castle Club, man.
01:33:36.000Even me, I'm blown away by the guys that we have in here that have different expertises and backgrounds and things that you wouldn't even think that.
01:35:37.000There's someone that's going to be able to answer your question in the community, and for anyone that's going to join the military, Tommy's one of our experts where he'll tell you, you know, he'll basically tell you all the dirty secrets of the recruiters, like how to go about it properly.
01:35:49.000Location, different kind of jobs, what you're looking for, everything.
01:35:54.000Everything that you can possibly, because they will lie to you.
01:35:56.000Every person I've talked to, when they're telling you about getting in the military, they only care about getting numbers.
01:36:01.000Like, just talk to me and I'll let you know exactly what you're going to get into.
01:36:06.000So if you're thinking about joining the military, we got an expert right here that will tell you how to go about it, which branches, what MOS you want to get into, you know, whether you want to go in enlisted or commissioned as an officer, whatever it may be.
01:36:18.000Tell him to be able to answer all those questions for you.
01:36:29.000Anything else you want to tell the people?
01:36:30.000Also, people that are like in the Pacific, if you're in Guam or anything else like that, say if I'm not mistaken, they all go, or Honolulu and Tokyo combined, or...
01:37:03.000So just like how we had Toronto, we had all the Canadians in our group, and they found a general, and then I was like, see you guys, you're no longer orphans, and I sent them off.
01:39:25.000And then, real quick, can you give them your professional background?
01:39:27.000I know you're in real estate, but can you specify what you do in real estate specifically in case guys want to reach out to you and they're in the Vegas area?
01:40:07.000I did six tours in the Middle East that entire time and after that I knew I wanted to get in real estate and that's exactly what I'm doing right now.
01:40:15.000Kind of like moving around a lot because I'm in the gym.
01:40:50.000I mean, You should be jumping into this at the end of the day.
01:40:54.000There's a lot of people who could help you here, and then you never know who you could be helping at the end of the day.
01:40:58.000I can't tell you how many guys have helped me alone.
01:41:00.000I'm a general, yes, I'm a leader, but at the end of the day, I'm learning from my people as well, and I'm willing to admit that, because I didn't come in this game knowing everything, and I will never know everything.
01:41:38.000You think I was cabbing around when I told you we're going to build a fucking community of guys that are fucking out here that are winners, that are making money, that have different disciplines in different areas?
01:42:23.000If you guys ever have any questions about how to keep yourself above six figures in this competitive industry out here in LA, you can hit me up.
01:42:32.000It's not as hard as what people think.
01:43:11.000A certain image to uplift fresh and fit so that they know when people speak about California, it's a different vibe and energy that comes out here.
01:44:44.000We have our first meetup on the 24th of August as well, like Charlotte.
01:44:50.000We're working on a men's growth and survival retreat.
01:44:53.000And then we have like one of my guys, we're like just flooding California looking for different businesses that want to partner up with us to where we can be like their main, you know, their main source of business as like small business.
01:45:09.000But We just keep frequenting the place.
01:45:53.000He's like, he's the top G when it comes to food, man.
01:45:56.000So, I'm like, I'm behind the scenes and everything.
01:45:59.000So, yeah, it's actually over in Oakland.
01:46:03.000We're probably going to be opening up different locations.
01:46:07.000So, if anybody has any questions regarding food, like how to get started up, like, you know, different things of that nature, you guys can always reach out to.
01:46:15.000Just shoot me a direct message, reach out, or if you're not in our chapter, Just have one of the generals reach out and touch bases with me.
01:46:26.000I already got a guy who's in barbecue, he's in our group too, but he's also a farmer and he wholesales meat and all this other stuff.
01:46:36.000We plan to have many talks and get him right and get him on the right path.
01:49:19.000Brady is next, our general out of Nashville.
01:49:21.000He does the non-CDL trucking, and he's like squared away.
01:49:26.000After Brady, it'll be Brother Rico out of D.C., Anthony out of Seattle, and then Brother Colt wanted to jump up to say something real quick.
01:49:33.000So, Colt, just make a note of what you want to say.
01:49:35.000We're going to bring you up after Anthony, if that's okay.
01:55:25.000Yeah, we're getting ready to have meetings, private events.
01:55:28.000And one thing I want to tell the people is the speed alone that you get from Castle Club, like I want to say shout out to all the generals too, because y'all always putting in work.
01:55:38.000Whenever someone says, hey, we're looking for XYZ, sometimes it's in the same minute we get a response.
01:55:47.000That's what it's about, man, having a network of guys.
01:55:50.000I'm glad that we got D.C. because that's obviously a huge metropolitan area.
01:55:53.000I'm sure we got some government employees and stuff like that that are probably in that group that can help people out if they want to get into that from different fields.
01:56:25.000So, that's great, though, man, because there's people that probably, like, you know, might want to be into horse training or they like horseback riding.
02:01:34.000I'm constantly in touch with the general for Vegas, just seeing how he's doing.
02:01:38.000And it's really good to see my younger brother get the guidance that he needs with guys in real life, being able to get it real time when I'm not able to.
02:01:47.000And that has just been the biggest Castle Club W. I just cannot believe I forgot to mention that.
02:02:08.000And what we'll probably do is we'll probably do one day with the generals and anyone that wants to come down to Miami and kick it with us, that's a part of the Castle Club, we'll probably do something on Saturday for you guys.
02:02:14.000So generals will be Friday and then Saturday we'll do something.
02:02:17.000But Saints end up, so we'll make sure.
02:02:19.000Saints and Fresher are going to be running that, so it'll be a good time.
02:02:39.000So, any generals out there that we haven't spoken to, hit up Mo real quick.
02:02:44.000And if, man, I would love to hear from Chris, man, but, like, he's busy.
02:02:49.000Uh, and then our Cleveland general, we gotta, we got, we have, sometimes we name team leaders or, you know, we have generals out there that, um, you know, to kind of work on a acting basis and that's Cleveland.
02:04:00.000Yo, I just want to give a shout-out to you guys, because, like, two years ago, like, when I had my breakup, I literally, like, started watching you guys, and I'm just like, holy fucking shit, bro.
02:04:58.000You got to get rid of that nice guy mindset, et cetera, because that's actually going to come back and reach that wrong.
02:05:06.000Girls are going to smell that weakness on you.
02:05:08.000So you're going to have to take more of a killer instinct when you deal with girls because that's one of the attractive traits that they look for in men.
02:05:41.000I agree with you guys, but it's just like, I don't know, it's like my own personal issue that I'm worried about, like, one day, what if I have a daughter...
02:05:47.000And then she becomes a hoe or some shit because I was fucking a bunch of bitches.
02:06:13.000I hate this shit when guys try to come in and ask for advice and make it try to walk back what they were saying.
02:06:17.000I'm going to be very honest with you, bro.
02:06:19.000You're a white knight right now, and you need to get rid of that white knight mindset because what's going to happen is the way that you think is going to personify itself and its actions.
02:06:27.000And the way that you're going to behave is you're going to start pedestalizing girls.
02:06:29.000You're going to start being a nice guy and doing all this sim shit inadvertently a lot of the times.
02:06:33.000You just think you're being a nice guy, but she's going to take that as weakness.
02:06:36.000So you need to have more of a killer mindset when it comes to this stuff and not pedestalizing women.
02:06:44.000So you may not be saying it verbally, but your actions will dictate, like Maren just said, if you're a nice guy and he'll walk all over you.
02:06:49.000Yeah, they're going to walk all over you, bro.
02:06:51.000So just, you got to have a killer mindset.
02:06:54.000That's really what it comes down to because trust me, they have a killer mindset.
02:06:57.000They don't fucking feel no remorse when they go out on a dinner date with a guy with zero intention of fucking giving him any intimacy, but they're out there taking that nigga to Nobu.
02:08:09.000I have a side job doing like photography, like Saturday nights, like weddings and whatnot.
02:08:16.000I'm heavy into crypto because of you guys, actually, you know, DCC, ECC. Um, but really I wanted to, uh, join a group like this, get a group started kind of just because I was looking around my circle and, you know, friends,
02:08:31.000family, they kind of don't have like the same mindset, you know, just want to be better in life, you know, Just content with working like an average like nine to five whatnot.
02:08:41.000So I feel like that's the biggest part of being, you know, a part of the Castle Club and whatnot.
02:08:47.000And I just wanted to let people know that it's not just something that like you're not just a part of a group, you know, like Like, you're actually just, like, you're in it, like, to be active and, you know, get engagement and stuff like that, you know?
02:09:00.000Not something like, something random, you just join, like, yeah, let me check it here and there, you know?
02:09:04.000You really just gotta apply yourself to it.
02:09:47.000I work for Local 95, which is a union, Mechanical Insulators Union.
02:09:51.000And guys, if you're looking for trades, mechanical installation is one of the big ones.
02:09:56.000We are considered an energy conservation specialist.
02:09:59.000So what that means is big million companies, we save them like practically millions of more dollars worth of like energy savings, especially like I can nerd out about my job for hours.
02:10:14.000In fact, right now I'm kind of like doing some homework right now because I'm currently in school right now.
02:10:19.000And yeah, well, what else should I say?
02:10:23.000Oh yeah, we got a whole bunch of guys in Toronto Castle Club.
02:10:27.000Yeah, we got a whole bunch of experts.
02:10:29.000You got guys who's a real estate expert, like Dino.
02:10:39.000Hopping out of the Hawaii Castle Club.
02:10:43.000And yeah, also Rico, shout out to your brother, another fellow Castle Club General that him and I have been coordinating a lot recently, so I've been getting a lot of sweet ideas from him.
02:10:53.000And yeah, we are going to have a first official Zoom call this Sunday.
02:10:58.000Pretty much a brief introduction, then we're going to go from there, because we are relatively new and we are growing and expanding.
02:12:03.000Yeah, also, going way back over at the High Value Academy, that course was the reason why I'm a tradesman in the first place, that I dropped out of a dead-end warehousing job, and right now I'm about to make $100k a year pretty soon.
02:12:25.000So, fellas, we have Jay, that's our Tokyo general, who I guess, you know, he's probably got to break into lunch real quick so we can get Jay.
02:12:32.000And then LJ is our Boston general, former Army combat vet, Boston fire.
02:12:40.000Bro, the type of value we bring is insane, but those are the last two generals we have standing by.
02:15:33.000So real quick, Larry, Boston General, like Dio said, combat vet.
02:15:39.000I've been a firefighter for about eight years in Boston.
02:15:43.000Father, I have a 19-year-old daughter who's in college right now, going into second year.
02:15:49.000I'm a real estate investor, business owner.
02:15:54.000You know, just here to help and learn in any way that I can.
02:15:58.000But I just want to say shout out to all the generals, especially DL Saint.
02:16:04.000He's always there to answer any questions and things like that that I got.
02:16:09.000Experience so far, real quick, is we've had a couple of Zoom calls.
02:16:14.000We're looking to have our first meetup really soon.
02:16:19.000I just recently promoted a couple of the guys who are really active in the chats and stuff like that.
02:16:27.000So I just want to quickly say anybody who's, you know, on the fence of getting in here in the Castle Club, especially if you feel stuck in taking that next step, there's a lot of guys with a wealth of information, man, that can get you where you need to be.
02:16:42.000So I'm honored and excited to be a part of this.
02:24:33.000If you're going to live in it, you're going to need to put down 3% to 5%.
02:24:37.000But if you want to go ahead and buy as an investor, you're going to have to put 20% to 25% down.
02:24:43.000I would say, dude, if you want to invest in Florida, especially now with the real estate market over here exploding, you're going to need at least $100,000, man.
02:24:53.000Unless you want to live in it for a year.
02:24:55.000If you want to live in it for a year, then you could come with less.
02:25:43.000Hey, okay, so I watched a recent episode, and maybe it was an old one, of you saying that you put your real estate properties in your LLC. I want to know, there's a reason why you did that versus putting it in your own personal name,
02:25:59.000and I want to know the pros and the cons of it, and then I had another question.
02:26:03.000It just makes it easier for managing down the road.
02:26:06.000It's a small barrier of protection and then also the reason why is because it's going to make it easier for you when it comes to record keeping, taxes, etc.
02:26:16.000You create the LLC, you put that real estate property under that LLC and that basically functions as almost its own business.
02:26:22.000So all the income that comes in, you're able to track it and then all the expenses that go out, you're able to track it under that LLC. That's why.
02:26:31.000So, I had started an LLC, but I was going to do it for a hot shot, but my mind kind of changed to the real estate game.
02:26:39.000I named it kind of like, it's called Fort Brown Transport.
02:26:42.000Am I still able to use that name for my properties, or do I have to get another LLC? Did you change the name?
02:26:49.000Nah, I would say, bro, close your first house.
02:26:52.000After you close your first house, then you could go ahead and we could start talking about making LLCs and all this stuff.
02:28:19.000And I was wondering, I'll be out there for, like, four or five months, and I was wondering what would be the best thing for me to do if I can just, like, create, like, because I'm trying to go on Do it after training.
02:28:47.000That's going to have your hands full, bro.
02:28:48.000Don't even worry about the affiliate stuff until you get your basic training out the way because that's going to take up all your fucking time, bro.
02:28:53.000And then after that's done, then you can go ahead and put clips out and do the affiliate marketing.
02:28:59.000Okay, and the same thing would be also for VA loan, just like, you know, save as much money right now and then after I come back?
02:32:32.000We want to give you guys that opportunity, and then we're going to purge the room, and then we're going to continue every two weeks to clear that room out.
02:33:01.000If you're in there, they're going to go ahead and have you verify who you are, and then they're going to put you in respective chat that you belong in.
02:33:07.000We have separate chats for every single city group, depending on where you live.
02:34:25.000Unfortunately, because I need a lot of capital for this business, thousands of dollars, I don't have as much personal capital, so I have to use a lot of business credit to use it up.
02:34:34.000And it's screwing up my credit score because the utilization is going sky high, basically.
02:34:41.000That shouldn't be the case if you're using business credit cards, bro.
02:34:47.000Because, like, there's a cost opportunity with this, I'm constantly buying, selling, getting in and out.
02:34:52.000Like, I don't know if I should just pay everything off and wait, like, a month and then apply, or do you think, like, as soon as I pay it off, go ahead and apply for a business credit card?
02:35:02.000Because I don't want to get, like, a low limit if I apply with a bank or get denied because they'll be like...
02:35:07.000All right, this is going to be very simple, bro.
02:35:09.000You're going to go get yourself a charge card, okay?
02:35:11.000Because on a charge card, there's not really limits.
02:35:14.000You can charge as much as you really need to and you can check your spending power to increase it as needed, especially with the business that you're in where you're procuring high-end items that you're going to resell.
02:35:23.000So you're going to go ahead and get yourself an Amex Platinum.
02:35:26.000Your Amex Gold, one of these charge cards, but the thing is with these cards is you've got to pay it back in a month.
02:35:31.000So when you procure that watch, make sure that you either pay it back within a month or one of the other sales that you had prior, you're paying it back.
02:35:40.000So get yourself a business credit card.
02:35:43.000The other thing I want you to do is when you go ahead and you apply for these business credit cards, apply for all of them in the same day or the same couple of days because that's all going to count as one hard inquiry.
02:35:54.000And, Myron, you don't think I should wait for my credit score to go reflect a higher one or just go ahead and apply for that?
02:36:20.000You keep your utilization down for three weeks, and then apply for the credit cards when your credit score is high, and then get as many business credit cards as you can, apply for all of them in the same short time span, get a couple of charge cards, get a couple of maybe regular business credit cards, get a nice little repertoire of them, and then bam,
02:36:36.000that's all going to count as one heart and heart.
02:36:37.000You get these credit cards, then you can start going back to business like you were before and use those charge cards to go ahead and procure these watches from this point forward.
02:37:02.000Right now, I'm just looking to get into an entry level, like a luxury car hack.
02:37:07.000I'm learning from your mentor, PJ, but I don't know if I should just waste my time with that, or should I just go through a car finder service?
02:37:15.000He has something like that where I could just get it.
02:37:18.000Because I'm focusing mainly on watches.
02:38:35.000I was wondering, would it be a good idea to...
02:38:38.000Use the money that I'm getting to reinvest into that, considering that I'm most likely going to get that business handed down, like going into food trucks or something along those lines?
02:38:48.000Would it make sense to just keep my money into real estate?
