as my dad was researching some of our family history.
00:00:10.760
that Jews in the Soviet Empire spoke, means tailor.
00:00:31.320
of divine intervention that happened on the back end
00:00:46.200
He was a partner at a law firm called Gowlings.
00:00:49.720
Which at the time was the largest law firm in Canada.
00:01:01.340
he was a lawyer that was Aboriginal law in Canada.
00:01:22.400
And Howard is like, you know, and he talks like rich men talk.
00:01:35.660
I have to, because I know it's a trap and I don't know which way it's going.
00:01:37.780
And I said, what do you like to spend on your suits?
00:01:41.440
Now, we expect him to say as little as possible.
00:01:43.220
Now, he goes, I would never buy from a company that sells a suit for less than $3,000 because
00:01:50.780
And I said, I'll bring you all the, I'll bring you the nice stuff then.
00:01:55.740
So I show up at his office, 27th floor, overlooking, overlooking an airport.
00:02:04.480
It's like, like the seaplanes will land on it, like a harbor, you know, Vancouver.
00:02:11.560
So I come in and the first thing Howard says, he's like, damn, you're young.
00:02:16.840
And I, this was before facial hair, I'm like 24, 25, you know, I can't grow a beard yet.
00:02:21.300
And I'm like, okay, he's trying to take power over me.
00:02:26.020
Would you rather buy a suit from an old incompetent tailor or a young hungry guy like me?
00:02:47.580
Kind of like what he said he would spend, right?
00:02:48.900
And of course, at the time, I'm thinking that's a lot of money.
00:02:56.940
He's just, he sees that I'm really, like, I'm, like, at this point, I am ambitious.
00:03:00.060
Now I'm, like, I can say this is now ambition, right?
00:03:03.840
He's like, you see that little plane over there?
00:03:05.540
So he lives in Vancouver Island, which is, like, Victoria, like, the NIMO, like, Comox.
00:03:09.100
There's all these little towns on the island, about a two-hour ferry.
00:03:13.460
So he flew his own seaplane from the island to work every morning.
00:03:21.060
I'm like, I want to work with people like that for the rest of my life.
00:03:37.500
You know, women, we talk about that all the time, these men.
00:03:44.160
It's a really, there's one word that describes the 1%.
00:03:46.860
If you're paying attention, the word is predictable.
00:03:51.200
I can tell you exactly where each of my clients will be at every hour on the day,
00:03:59.080
Like, if I call that guy at 3 p.m. on a Thursday, I know he's in the office.
00:04:03.780
If I call him at 8 p.m. on a Friday, I know he's at a son's baseball or soccer game.
00:04:10.440
Like, there's, you know, like, especially because your content is, like, men and women
00:04:13.640
and inter, you know, inter sort of gender relations kind of thing.
00:04:16.520
And it's like, oh, the guy doesn't text me back and this and that.
00:04:19.980
It's like, you know, you have the dark triad and women become attracted to this sort of, like,
00:04:29.460
So women are looking for men that are unpredictable and that have dark triad traits.
00:04:40.800
Look, it's like, imagine that you're actually really, really successful.
00:04:46.680
Like, that means that you are a doctor or a surgeon, which means, like, what happens if
00:04:52.920
You're like, you're never going to be a doctor again.
00:04:54.760
It means you're a lawyer representing your client in a case that could alter his life
00:05:00.460
You don't show up to court because nobody, and you're texting and you don't reply.
00:05:06.800
And especially if you're, like, I'm trying to, because I grew up in the small business world.
00:05:12.380
So it's a little different than, like, they talk about high-value men and men of value.
00:05:17.560
And I would say, have you heard, do you know the difference?
00:05:20.040
High-value men are typically in more, like, corporate settings.
00:05:23.980
They're in more, like, they tend to go to, like, nice events.
00:05:31.240
Where the men of value are the kind that go get a piece of land and, like, don't talk
00:05:38.620
Do you know what percentage of corporate, so here's the stat.
00:05:43.100
50% of all millionaires are small business owners.
00:05:49.220
So about one in nine Americans are millionaires now, in terms of, like, working-age men.
00:05:57.660
It's like one in nine, one to ten, depending on who you ask.
00:06:04.380
Half of them, half of them are, half of them are small business owners.
00:06:09.200
Do you know what percentage of them are corporate?
00:06:11.360
Less than ten percent of millionaires come from corporate.
00:06:13.320
It's actually a very small percentage of people that become corporate millionaires.
00:06:16.200
It's mostly, half of it is small business owners.
00:06:21.440
You know, some pilots, you know, people in sort of, like, these niche professions where
00:06:27.180
When I think of millionaires, I think of, like, three categories where it's, like, there's,
00:06:35.440
like, one, two, three, like, five, like, under ten millionaires, like, ten million or less,
00:06:47.940
Yeah, that's, like, when then, because a hundred million plus is, like, private jet shit.
00:06:54.740
Well, a fifty plus, anything over fifty million in your life is the same.
00:06:57.500
There's nothing you can buy that you can buy the Jeff Bezos.
00:07:01.820
So, tell me, like, where do your clients typically fall in out of, because I'm thinking
00:07:06.120
there's ten million, we're going to go ten millionaires or less, ten to fifty.
00:07:11.440
Yeah, I mean, I can give you some demographics.
00:07:13.220
We believe, based on the clients, like, our own research and our client data, that our average
00:07:17.260
client, average client probably makes about half a million a year.
00:07:20.660
The average millionaire only makes about a hundred thousand a year.
00:07:24.780
Yeah, people think, oh, a millionaire makes twenty million a year.
00:07:26.660
No, a millionaire, on average, makes about a hundred thousand.
00:07:29.840
Now, obviously, those are the guys with three million dollars.
00:07:32.160
Those aren't the guys with, you know, fifty million.
00:07:34.520
So, what are, can you tell me the differences between those three categories at all?
00:07:40.340
Like, I'm just thinking, like, what types of jobs do the guys in the ten million category
00:07:45.900
have versus the ten to fifty and the fifty plus?
00:07:51.940
There's always, there's always a couple of, like, partners at law firms or investment banks
00:07:55.440
that are, like, the one out of ten thousand guy that's just, like, the best in
00:08:03.520
Anything over ten, you need to be owning a business or being in a company or an organization
00:08:10.980
So, financial services has the reputation for creating the most millionaires.
00:08:15.600
So, let's say you're working in a high-level investment bank or you're just a private investment
00:08:21.320
And that private investment advisor just works with rich families.
00:08:24.300
He might be working for a big bank, but he's actually working for himself because he's
00:08:27.220
building his own client portfolio, which is what we do in our company.
00:08:30.200
Like, our salespeople represent LGFG, but they're effectively building their own business
00:08:34.980
Because, you know, we help them with the branding.
00:08:37.960
We help them with, well, warm leads, et cetera, et cetera.
00:08:40.920
But ultimately, they build that client portfolio and then sell to those clients repeatedly to
00:08:46.460
Do you ever get nervous that they'll, like, take your, like, just leave and, like, start?
00:08:49.720
Listen, if they want to compete, absolutely great.
00:08:54.660
Like, this is not a Dimitri thing or an industry thing or a company thing.
00:08:59.760
Like, you want to, you have two options, right?
00:09:02.960
This might be a little bit outside of typical content, but you have two options in how you
00:09:06.800
Either you limit people from reaching their potential because you're scared of what they're
00:09:09.980
capable of, and then you're stuck with employees whose potential you've limited.
00:09:17.360
