In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with my good friend, Tristan, to talk about his experience with not being rich and how he came to terms with it. We talk about what it was like growing up poor and how it shaped him into the person he is today.
00:07:29.680my fucking arms, legs and my dick work.0.99
00:07:31.220i've got my brother next to me you know i'm i'm living well i'm eating well i'm sleeping well i1.00
00:07:35.580have been doing for many many years the the contentment hasn't changed uh my level of wealth
00:07:40.680has increased certainly uh over and it will do every year for the next 20 years till i decide
00:07:46.080to just you know give up and enjoy myself and i've always been content my i think that it's added a
00:07:51.520level of happiness because like you said there are things that i didn't experience before that
00:07:56.120are now a big part of my life um you know just like i get the hate comments and the hit pieces
00:08:00.460and the stupid videos the emails i get and the messages i get of people saying that i've inspired0.65
00:08:04.540them to to make a positive change you know and you do this you talk about me in this way that0.97
00:08:09.140nothing makes me happier than that so i feel like i was missing out beforehand because i had a lot
00:08:14.320to teach the world and perhaps i mean i can call it selfishness almost i was too wrapped up in
00:08:19.760living my wonderful life uh everything that's happening now i'm exactly as content as i was
00:08:25.280before but believe me i am happier knowing that i have the power to help people yeah i saw the
00:08:29.720the kids surround you on your boat in uh croatia when you docked and you see like a horde
00:08:34.400of teenagers and young adults stand there what is that how does that affect you because before
00:08:41.120you weren't really famous before you might have been known as an entrepreneur something like that
00:08:44.560but how have you handled the fame um you know what in a very boring way you like you have to handle
00:08:52.680it in a personal security kind of way etc but um the the actual fame it does get annoying being
00:08:58.420stopped on the street all the time or having crowds form or they find out you're in a restaurant
00:09:01.440etc but i try not to let it bother me because i understand that it's a because the fame isn't
00:09:10.360necessarily good but i feel like it's a it's a price i have to pay to be a positive role model
00:09:14.780in so many young men's lives and to inspire so many young men i feel like is a is a gift like i
00:09:20.440said about me not wanting to run this fight to take on big tech and to build other platforms
00:09:24.380etc maybe i was chosen for it but i just i can't look at it as a as a negative thing as much as it
00:09:31.340may negatively affect my life sometimes i'm just a lot more careful i roll with more bodyguards i
00:09:35.820keep my movements a lot more uh secretive etc but it's easy to handle what a bunch of people who0.98
00:09:41.900love me and admire me the people who hate me don't turn up in big mobs they just write shit
00:09:45.740on the internet because they're scared of me so you know i've ever encountered a hater in real0.56
00:09:49.680life i almost never not one never not one not one ever and i don't think i ever will so what does
00:09:56.920that say what do you say because who on earth is going to think i don't like those two giant strong0.99
00:10:03.620kickboxing brothers who roll with a team of security let me go and fuck with them in person0.99
00:10:07.460these people are cowards they're never going to think that not in a million years so what do you0.99
00:10:13.820think that says about the human psyche the fact that people exercise so much hate online but in0.96
00:10:19.020real life they probably wouldn't even look at you twice i don't even notice like dirty looks or
00:10:22.400anything like that but the amount of hate i hear online is is a daily thing well it's a testament
00:10:27.880to their own character it's a testament to their own character and that people will make brand new
00:10:31.840profiles and uh you know with no followers and no following and no display pic just to write hateful
00:10:36.820comments to you and it honestly makes me happy it honestly just builds me up to understand that
00:10:41.900the number of hours put in per day to trying to bring me down are more hours than i could possibly
00:10:48.500live in a day hundreds of hours sometimes per day are are taken from people who dislike me
00:10:54.040and i'm just like good these people are wasting their lives giving me their energy i i feel
00:11:00.300powered by it i feel fueled by it so it's motivation it's a sense of motivation like the
00:11:06.340other day i didn't want to stream and then i saw uh three videos drop all an hour long edited up
00:11:12.180and just like hating on me and it woke me up a little bit i was like whoa yeah and good
00:11:18.480and good they're taking time out of their lives but i i would never do that and i don't think
00:11:22.820that's a good way to behave i mean you could comment on people's videos you could comment
00:11:26.120on people talking about you but i'd never just watch someone for what they're saying unless what
00:11:29.980they were saying was genuinely no no i don't think i'd i'd ever watch someone who was saying
00:11:36.000something stupid and then comment on it and make a hit piece on it because i don't want to give0.84
00:11:40.640those people my energy you have to understand that people with the right frame of mind are built up0.99
00:11:44.980by this so if any of my haters do see clips of this and do watch this please keep spending your
00:11:50.680time thinking about me because i don't know your name i don't know your story i don't know your
00:11:54.220problems but i'm living well i think it was floyd mayweather who said something like this he said0.54
00:11:59.140look if you want to talk shit about me or my boxing career or my trainers and my friends0.83
00:12:02.980don't worry about me because i'm living well worry about yourself i'm a billionaire i'm the i'm the0.95
00:12:08.960best boxer who ever lived don't worry about me it's all fine for me so yeah i like it i like it
00:12:15.360i'm not gonna pretend i don't i am it's eye-opening hearing you when i asked the question how do you
00:12:20.520handle the fame i was curious to if you enjoyed it or not but you only talked about it as if it
00:12:26.340was a negative thing i'm seeing a lot of entrepreneurs and people like you want to get
00:12:31.080into this game because they desire fame and it seems like you never desired that but i noticed
00:12:35.700a lot of like crypto guys entrepreneurs e-commerce dudes they're kind of following your method and
00:12:41.180they're now getting into the youtube space because they have all the riches they have a lot of money
00:12:45.380but you guys talk a lot about you can't really like you can't make money and not become a dork0.63
00:12:51.300you're still a dork and so they want that level of respect and they want to be admired
00:12:55.480why do you think that you didn't desire fame i i feel like i've always been proud of myself and0.98
00:13:03.460who i am i think a lot of people look for validation from other people and i i think that's
00:13:07.680why i never really desired it it's a it's a consequence and it's one of the circumstances
00:13:12.060that i now find myself in for everything that i've done everything my brother has done but you
00:13:16.540know if you're really truly content and love yourself lots of people desire fame to make
00:13:21.460the money but it's the guys chasing fame for the sake of fame say they already have money
00:13:26.560they're they're unhappy about something i think perhaps you know i mean if you're a youtuber and
00:13:32.840you make your money from youtube good chase the fame chase the numbers because now you're also
00:13:36.240chasing your paycheck you're chasing you know what's going to what's going to put food on your
00:13:39.460table what's going to get you through life but just for the sake of having all these people
00:13:45.380following you around and commenting on you and and you know trying to take pictures of you in
00:13:49.080the street it's not that great if i'm honest and uh because i'm so happy in and of myself and when
00:13:55.000i'm sitting around with my friends whether it be at a five-star restaurant or like literally on0.91
00:13:58.760someone's kitchen kitchen floor drinking cheap cans of beer i'm so happy i don't give a fuck0.92
00:14:02.720who knows who i am so i i think you could tell a lot about somebody's uh station in life and how0.66
00:14:08.460how how uh proud they are of themselves and how happy they are of with themselves by how how hard
00:14:14.000they chase fame do you think that what do you think people can do to stop being dorks what's0.98
00:14:21.780the best way to try to fix the dork the dorkum i think everybody knows already everybody knows0.93
00:14:27.180the answer a healthy body is a healthy mind get into shape you know uh try try try to try to look0.66
00:14:34.600your best try to um you know become more knowledgeable whether that be you know watching
00:14:40.400youtube videos uh watching stuff that my brother or you put out just try to understand the world0.64
00:14:45.120better try to understand that you know you can't just walk through the world as a dork because
00:14:50.160the things you desire don't come very freely to dorks i would like to think that every single0.78
00:14:54.940young man watching would love to have a beautiful woman they would wouldn't they beautiful women1.00
00:14:59.440beautiful women don't like dorks they really don't so look at the things you want from life1.00
00:15:05.140and look at who you are as a person and think how can i positively change myself to get the things0.98
00:15:11.100that i want from life and i think you're naturally going to come out of your dork state just from
00:15:16.240doing that if you understand one percent how women think how high value men think i'm a high value
00:15:22.040man and people message me all the time hey man i'd love to sit down and play a game of chess
00:15:25.800with you i'd love to sit down and smoke a cigar with you don't send me that message without first
00:15:30.920looking at who you are and thinking would tristan tate benefit or want to sit around with me and0.98
00:15:38.440play chess and smoke cigars what would i talk to tristan tate about and if the answer is i just1.00
00:15:44.020loved a fanboy on him then you're probably a fucking dork and you know do something about0.99
00:15:48.080yourself to change that that's what i've realized on from your impact on social media is that0.99
00:15:55.680inherently i've always known that and even before you it was like guys like dan bilzerian or like0.89
00:15:59.840the stereotypical high value man bitches in shape big houses big cars and everything that's what1.00
00:16:05.500everybody every man inherently wants that's what every like man is wanted at when we were like 120.93
00:16:10.680and then the matrix beats it out of you slowly they make you cope and they make you say that
00:16:15.220you want other things i'm okay with the dad bod i want to be monogamous i want these other things
00:16:18.920i don't want that life and i've what separates me from a lot of the content creators i've realized
00:16:25.300is that most people would rather not admit that and they would rather make justifications for why
00:16:30.140they're at that point in their life and i and you see what happens because when you're a content
00:16:35.700creator you don't get cool points for being a fan of somebody else you don't get to make a hit piece
00:16:41.480I can't make a 57-minute edited video of you or Andrew because what would I say?
00:16:46.300I would just be complimenting the whole time.
00:16:47.700I would just be saying how I've been inspired.
00:16:50.140And it's because I think a lot of people, and you've probably seen it, they are – you don't get cool points for supporting someone else.0.97
00:16:57.040Everyone says every day like you're a dick rider.0.92
