00:00:00.000 I will say, though, out of out of the women that I've seen on social media, I think to your credit, you've really done well.
00:00:07.180 Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Like to get have this studio, you know, not just here, but like even what I saw before we start filming, like the team you have and that that's organizational ability.
00:00:19.680 That's like not just influence or social media. That's like you're actually a legitimate business person.
00:00:24.280 Thank you. Thank you. I think so, too. You took the risk. I did. The risk is the price.
00:00:30.000 For wealth. Correct. Correct. But but I still was thinking about it. And to say I had no advantage because I'm a woman. It's silly.
00:00:37.020 You know, I definitely did to get here. I mean, the fact that you got this place, it's a big place.
00:00:43.380 It's just one room, the equipment, the staff you have here, security, everything like you have a full team.
00:00:49.920 You know, you basically built a TV studio and that really is entrepreneurship.
00:00:55.780 Yeah. You know what I mean? That's really like the people that just have one business, they just work alone.
00:01:01.740 They're a freelancer. Right. So like in 2027, freelancer will actually be like the most popular job.
00:01:09.380 Most of our workforce will be freelancer within a few years. Really? You think so?
00:01:13.400 Yeah. That was according to a study, I think, in the Wall Street Journal or something like that.
00:01:16.600 Wow. That was a prediction. The trend, we're already getting there.
00:01:19.800 Okay. But like the idea of being an entrepreneur and being able to have an organization and be able to create jobs, have labor, you know, being able to distribute capital, make investments, manage accounting, all of this stuff.
00:01:36.420 The taking the risk, what happens if I purchase all this stuff and it doesn't work out, putting it together, figuring it out, all of that stuff.
00:01:45.180 We're not even talking about entrepreneurship. Right.
00:01:47.580 You'll see a lot of people that do well on TikTok.
00:01:50.580 And outside of being able to get, you know, money from brand deals or sponsorship, they're going to struggle because, you know, they haven't on TikTok.
00:02:01.260 They might've got hand out by the extreme far left staff there. But once they get off that ocean, once they go into another platform, once the tide turns on a lot of these creators and influencers, where they lose that one stream of monetization, you're going to see who's actually an entrepreneur and who's not.
00:02:19.420 You know, like it's easy to copy Mr. Beast. Many people copy Mr. Beast.
00:02:23.680 Yeah. But what, but here's the beauty of Mr. Beast. What Mr. Beast did, I think, the real secret was that he did something new.
00:02:32.880 Yeah, he did. And like, and like, I think even if everyone copied him today, that guess what happens? It loses its value.
00:02:42.020 You lose, you lost the competitive value once everybody knows.
00:02:45.400 I think his level of mastery is so significant on YouTube, for example, that he can have everyone copy just as an experiment for him to learn, just to set up the next new thing he's going to do, which is going to be nothing like what the others are going to do.
00:03:00.260 Right.
00:03:00.780 It's like that level of mastery.
00:03:02.660 Yeah.
00:03:03.160 You know what I'm saying? And that happens in all industries.
00:03:05.560 So as soon as you feel like someone's copying you, you pivot. Look, I did millions of dollars of business over 20 years. You go on Money Twitter, their average experience is three years of business.
00:03:16.420 They're giving business advice like it's Bill Gates or Elon Musk or Warren Buffett or Mark Cuban, you know, over 20 years of business experience doing millions of dollars of deals.
00:03:25.620 I'm a multimillionaire on TikTok. You know, I was already doing millions before I got on TikTok.
00:03:30.680 And I'll tell you, in business, this is from a man with over 20 years of experience, you're going to have good cycles and tough cycles.
00:03:41.560 Not everyone makes it through a tough cycle, you know, and you're going to have competitors that are going to copy.
00:03:48.860 No matter what business you go to, your competition will watch you for content creators.
00:03:55.540 It's OK. They can copy me X, Y, Z.
00:04:00.320 They're watching my videos. They're watching my stories.
00:04:03.260 But no matter what business you go to, your competition will watch you.
00:04:07.700 That's just that's that's just business.
00:04:10.100 Right. Right. You know what I mean?
00:04:11.540 That's why I don't I think the worst content. Oh, my gosh, I have a rant.
00:04:15.500 I have a rant. The credit police.
00:04:17.680 Oh, my gosh.
00:04:18.820 Everyone like you and I realized so Kevin Samuels, I like such a big fan of and I noticed there's so many people that would like say they were credited for his ideas.
00:04:28.900 Like I heard this from like five different people.
00:04:31.400 And I was like, it's so interesting in YouTube, the people that are really like pushing forward, like the space, they're never concerned about credit or copycats.
00:04:41.480 They're just doing their own thing.
00:04:42.680 But I realize everyone that's like, oh, they copied me. They copied me. One, nobody's copying you.
00:04:47.760 Yeah. And and two, if you're worried about credit, you're like focusing on the wrong thing.
00:04:52.220 You need to worry about like making new and innovative content.
00:04:55.620 You know, it's such a it's such a good it's man, that's such a good point.
00:04:58.580 Because there was like five different people.
00:05:00.600 I swear there was like five different people I heard say that they were the reason Kevin Samuels had his show.
00:05:06.600 And I was just like, he's not doing the same thing any of you guys are doing.
00:05:10.000 Yeah, I guarantee I guarantee you if you have anybody that watches this show that grew up with a father, in particular from a Mediterranean country, Middle Eastern country, Latin American country, you know, African country.
00:05:27.040 Got more water.
00:05:27.880 Oh, yeah.
00:05:28.340 Yeah.
00:05:28.680 Here.
00:05:29.480 Here, well, I was getting dehydrated.
00:05:33.340 Yeah, it's pretty hot in here.
00:05:35.600 Yeah, I was getting dehydrated.
00:05:36.980 But sorry, go ahead.
00:05:37.740 I'm sorry. Take care of my bladder.
00:05:38.840 They won't do that if they're from a Mediterranean country. 0.98
00:05:41.800 Yeah, I guarantee you any man who has a father from a Mediterranean or Middle Eastern country, right?
00:05:49.780 Like you, you probably grew up like I did where you had masculinity.
00:05:56.460 So like my father, to his credit, a lot of the stuff that's popular now on this red pill or, you know, alpha stuff on social media.
00:06:05.760 Oh, he just taught you.
00:06:06.280 Yeah, my father has been like my father was to me since the 90s.
00:06:10.980 I was learning this stuff, especially as a Middle Eastern Mediterranean man.
00:06:14.500 This stuff was just normal.
00:06:16.860 So like if someone says to me, I copied someone, I'm like, bro, I'm like, I'm older than almost all of you.
00:06:23.200 And my father in his 70s is the one, if I'm going to give anyone credit, it's my father and his friends, because this is just a cultural norm in that region of the world.
00:06:32.220 You talk to any guy from Spain, Italy, Lebanon, Egypt, Israel, Iran, you know, like you go to Greece, you go to Turkey, you know, you know, in these countries, these men have fathers that this is just a cultural norm.
00:06:54.000 Right.
00:06:54.560 This is nothing like surprising.
00:06:55.960 So what's your advice to guys that want to succeed in business and like make it through those rough patches, especially now, because there's so many people wanting to do content creation or like freelance drop shipping, whatever it is.
00:07:09.520 Yeah, I would, I would say like the number one thing I'd say is try out a bunch of things that will work for you and you like, rather than just trying to do something you don't like.
00:07:24.500 And you're doing it.
00:07:25.200 My dad told me the same thing.
00:07:26.260 Yeah.
00:07:26.600 Yeah.
00:07:26.960 Yeah.
00:07:27.340 Yeah.
00:07:27.840 That's crazy.
00:07:28.760 Some people, one person tagged me on one of my videos today and said, and they tagged someone and they were like, hey, Shelly, he looks like you.
00:07:39.520 I look like your dad, you know, and I was just like, wow, I look like some girl's dad who's watching my video.
00:07:46.960 You know what I'm saying?
00:07:47.360 Oh, no way.
00:07:47.880 Yeah.
00:07:48.480 Yeah.
00:07:49.320 Yeah.
00:07:49.460 So it's just when you say that, you know, so, so, you know, it really is, there's something to be said about trying out what works for you and that you actually like, rather than trying to do what you think will make you a lot of money and you hate.
00:08:02.980 If you can, if you can get two checks on that checkbox, you like it and you're good at it, you significantly have a benefit.
00:08:10.560 That is so funny.
00:08:11.400 That is literally exactly what my dad told me like three years ago.
00:08:14.800 Cause I quit.
00:08:15.600 I was, I was working in copier sales and I quit it to do, I was like, I had one viral TikTok and it was, it was actually just me telling a story about my family.
00:08:24.680 Like it was actually nothing to do with any, cause I had a whole following.
00:08:28.160 I built off of like, no red pill.
00:08:30.200 Like that's why people are like, oh, you're just like grifting, pandering.
00:08:33.800 I'm like, you know how much more money I would have made doing it to women? 1.00
00:08:36.500 Oh my God.
00:08:37.280 Yeah.
00:08:37.780 Like we were talking about earlier, but, but so, um, yeah, my dad always said like, I don't care if you make sandwiches or sell toothpicks on the side of the road, like do something you love and do it well.
00:08:49.100 Because there aren't that many people that really try and are smart at the same time.
00:08:53.420 So he would always say like, if you do something you love, you're going to put in so many more hours than anybody else.
00:08:59.400 And it was so true because a lot of people will kind of, I guess, criticize me because they'll be like, oh, you work so much.
00:09:05.460 But it's like, it doesn't feel like work a lot of the time because I genuinely love doing it.
00:09:09.680 Like, it's just, it's like, I'd rather, I would rather do a podcast than go to a party.
00:09:14.020 Like, it's just more fun to me.
00:09:15.420 Yeah.
00:09:16.100 Even the whole, um, the whole, I'm sorry.
00:09:18.700 The whole premise of my show was started because, um, like my show is called the pregame and it was the whole idea was, I always liked pregames better than parties.
00:09:28.140 Cause you would have like such a deep conversations with people and then like at a party, it's loud.
00:09:33.480 Everyone's taught, like, I just didn't like parties.
00:09:36.240 So the whole premise was the pregame is better than the party.
00:09:39.220 And I was playing sports here.
00:09:40.320 So it was kind of like a double on, you know?
00:09:42.040 Yeah.
