00:07:05.000This isn't really work, this is just me sharing my message with the world, but I'm doing productive things during the summer from my house.
00:07:13.000I've been traveling a lot, mainly for work, and I think next I will go to my other house in Romania and do more work while I'm there.
00:07:22.000The idea of a summer vacation has shifted.
00:07:27.000Massively from when I used to take summer vacations back in the day.
00:07:32.000And I'll tell you what's changed first and foremost.
00:07:35.000There was a time when we used to go to school and you used to get the summer off.
00:07:57.000A week in Egypt, a week in Greece, and they talk about this week they had with their family, and that was their summer vacation.
00:08:05.000That meant that their parents, who worked all year round, they didn't get the summers off like the students did and the teachers did, would take their family on a one week vacation to somewhere cheap in Europe and have a few beers and enjoy seeing some different sights and enjoy probably the sunshine because you don't get sunshine in England most of the time.
00:08:23.000And then I got old enough to start taking my own summer vacations.
00:08:29.000So, my first real summer vacations came from when I started working at Pret a Manger, the sandwich shop.
00:08:36.000I tell people I worked at McDonald's, but that's actually a lie.
00:08:39.000I never worked at McDonald's in my life.
00:08:41.000I did work in a fast food restaurant making sandwiches, though.
00:08:45.000So, I tell people McDonald's because most people outside of the UK don't know exactly what Pret a Manger is.
00:08:51.000I've got one in New York, one in Hong Kong, one in Singapore, but I worked in fast food.
00:08:55.000I just use McDonald's as the colloquial slang.
00:08:59.000And when I started making my money, I used to look forward to my summer vacation.
00:09:04.000And my summer vacation was I'd go with Andrew to somewhere in Europe, Slovakia, Egypt.
00:09:11.000And I'd go to these various places for a week, two weeks at a time.
00:09:14.000And then I'd come home and normal life would resume.
00:09:18.000But that's not the way things work anymore.
00:09:21.000And I'll tell you what's to blame Instagram is to blame.
00:09:33.000In the last few years, I realized that when the summer is over, you never ask people, oh, where did you go this summer?
00:09:41.000And they say, oh, I went for a week in Greece, went for a week in Italy, went for a week in Spain.
00:09:47.000Because of Instagram, the ultra wealthy people in the world, and I am now in that category, maybe I'm to blame a little bit, but this started before I started making money, have access to every single woman in the world, any friend they want to make in the world.
00:10:03.000And every single normal person also has visual access to their lives.
00:10:09.000So it's made the idea of working 51 weeks a year to take seven days out and go on a vacation to Spain almost obsolete for anyone above the lowest of the lowest classes.
00:10:25.000Now, different times of the year have different regions assigned to them globally.
00:10:34.000Right now, That place would be maybe, I mean, I'm in Dubai working because my mindset hasn't changed.
00:10:44.000If you follow people on Instagram, especially attractive women, because attractive women don't have to work and pay for these vacations, they can just go wherever the season tells them to go.
00:10:56.000And a lot of beautiful women who I know, loads who you probably follow too, are currently in the south of France having paid no money for their vacation.
00:11:11.000I, for one, have held vacations, yacht vacations in Croatia, trips to Italy, where I've invited a bunch of random women.0.77
00:11:19.000And I haven't slept with them, not all of them, anyway, necessarily.
00:11:23.000And nothing illustrious or sinister has ever happened or gone down.
00:11:28.000But if you're a man with the money to buy a few plane tickets and you invite beautiful women to the hot spots at the time it's time to be there, they'll find an excuse to show up.
00:11:41.000I feel like Instagram has set such an unfair standard of living on the normal man and the normal woman and the normal person that nobody ever asks, like, where did you go on vacation this summer?
00:11:56.000Right now, my phone is blowing up with, when are you coming to Santrope?
00:12:07.000Then it's Bodrum season, then it's Dubai season again.
00:12:09.000Then it gets cold, then it's the Bahamas season, then it's St. Bart's at New Year's, then it's Courcheval in January.
00:12:15.000There's a calendar that has been constructed, not necessarily by an individual.
00:12:21.000No one's planned this, but a consensus of minds, all watching each other on the internet, have constructed a calendar of where to be and at what time.
00:12:35.000I'm being invited to the Hamptons in July, and some of these places cross over each other.
00:13:10.000Because I've never quite understood it.
00:13:14.000What you'll find is a lot of the people who finance this activity, a lot of the people buying all the plane tickets for everybody to come to Monaco, and I'm not trying to make it sound insidious or bad in any way, but they're older men, men 45, 50 plus, are booking endless hotel rooms, endless flights, endless private jets, endless tables at nightclubs, and they're the ones financing this whole thing.
00:13:40.000Sure, there are some very rare exceptions.
00:13:41.000There are some celebrities, movie stars.
00:13:44.000Even the odd internet celebrity at these places.
00:13:47.000But all in all, it's men who've made millions of dollars, they've made their money, and they're basically retired, so they're now enjoying themselves.
00:13:56.000What does that tell you about the pressure on 20 to 25 year old men, even 30 year old men or 40 year old men, to be able to provide this kind of lifestyle to the people who want to associate with them?
00:14:21.000What I do is I map my work out in a yearly calendar.
00:14:27.000And I think, where am I going to meet this guy, this guy, this guy, this girl, this man, this woman, all these CEOs, politicians, various people who are around the world.
00:14:38.000And I kind of construct my own annual calendar.
00:14:42.000And I sit there and I book all my flights and I travel around.
00:14:46.000So I'm doing almost the same thing, just on a different schedule.
00:14:50.000But I will tell you without joking that because I fly private, because I stay in the best hotels, because I have security agents with me everywhere, I'm spending so far this year three plus million dollars on travel.
00:15:07.000Three million dollars used to be a fortune.
00:15:15.000Three million dollars is around about the amount that you used to win on the United Kingdom's lottery back when I was young and I used to play the lottery.
00:15:24.000Isn't it absurd to think that expectations of how you should be able to live have risen so far beyond what used to be considered a good salary?
00:15:39.000Because if you work in London or New York or even one of the hotspot cities or Hong Kong, but you're making $100,000, $150,000 a year and you're working 48 weeks a year with four weeks off, you can't really go anywhere and you can't really do anything compared to all of these young women.
00:15:56.000It's women primarily because they get it for free, who are just jetting around the world to all these hotspots at any one time.0.99
00:16:05.000So, my message today to all the people who listen to me is you need to fuck this idea off for now.0.99
00:16:20.000I'm going to fuck it off until I'm about 40, and then I'm going to be one of those guys flying a bunch of beautiful women on vacation.1.00
00:16:27.000For the rest of my life at all the various locations in the world, because that's what rich people do.1.00
00:16:32.000But to aspire to even get there is not only unrealistic for the young man, it is absurd for the young man to think that he could ever, ever achieve this in his 20s.
00:16:52.000People let, you know, the Matrix lets people break out to make you think that this is doable.
00:16:58.000That young kid now, clavicular, he's going to some of the hot spots, not all of them, he's not on the full calendar, but he's right now in the south of France.0.70
00:17:06.000France sucks, by the way, I wouldn't advise going there.
00:17:09.000And he is a very unique example of somebody at a very young age who's able to adhere to this impossible schedule of traveling, vacationing, being in the right spot at the right time, and being seen there.0.97
00:17:36.000I don't really think that you can unless you are making three or four million bucks a year.
00:17:43.000And I'm not telling you not to be ambitious.
00:17:46.000What I'm telling you to do is to do what I do, which is to do everything that's necessary.
00:17:52.000My ceiling of the level of success I want to achieve is probably much, much higher than a lot of you people listening, because I've already broken through so many ceilings myself.
00:18:04.000But can't everyone just forget about it?0.99
00:18:14.000Can't everyone just give up and work on themselves for a while and do it when they're older?
00:18:19.000I feel like taking your summer vacation in one of these hot spots and adhering to the calendar for one or two weeks a year is a total waste of time.
00:18:28.000If it's Mykonos season and you've got your three weeks paid vacation from work and you've got 20 grand in the bank, I would say to you, do not go to Mykonos.0.89
00:18:45.000To the people who've already made it and aspire to get there when you're old enough, wealthy enough, rich enough to just adhere to this calendar without thinking about your bank balance.
00:18:57.000I feel like the calendar is kind of a trap.
00:19:00.000It's a trap to the middle class, it's a trap to the young men who have started making money in the world, it's a trap to the young men with, let's say, 10, 20, 30, 50 grand in their bank.
00:19:11.000Because it can very easily snap you into thinking that the people who are doing this are not as rich as they are.
00:19:19.000And you think, well, I've got 50 grand.
00:19:21.000I can book a first class ticket to France.
00:19:25.000And these locations and travel companies suck all of your money out of you.
00:19:31.000And within no time, you're going to be back there in your apartment in New York or Miami or wherever else you live, trying to think how to get some money together.
00:19:40.000And what are you going to do when you get that money together?
00:19:42.000You're going to fall back into the trap.
00:20:43.000Now, I imagine you're a student of the real world.
00:20:45.000I actually had a very cool experience earlier.
00:20:48.000I'm not sure if they were students of the real world or not, but I was at the pool in the Pagani building in Dubai, where I famously live.
00:20:55.000And I met two young German guys, and the first thing they said, because there's no Airbnb in this building, I knew they were my neighbors, so I knew they at least had a few million to purchase an apartment below the penthouse of this building.
00:21:08.000And the guy was up to me, he goes, Hey man, I didn't want to disturb you earlier while you were training, but I just want to say, Thank you so much.
00:21:14.000We owe so much to you and your brother.0.95
00:21:17.000And I was like, How the fuck do these two German guys owe so much to me and Andrew?0.97
00:21:24.000But yeah, you should be taking my advice.1.00
00:21:28.000And you should fuck off this whole permanent vacation digital nomad idea.0.99
00:21:34.000Because I don't know any fucking digital nomad who doesn't eventually give up and end up just backpacking in Thailand or South America.0.99
00:21:41.000I don't know a single digital nomad who is permanently on vacation in the hotspots.0.99
00:21:47.000I feel like you need to be less nomadic and more digital and get down to fucking work.0.94
00:21:58.000My summer, I think I'm going to go back to Romania for some time.0.97
00:22:06.000And I recently said this famously on the Rick Sanchez show when I was in Russia.
00:22:11.000He's a guy who runs a show on RT, he's quite large.
00:22:14.000You can find clips of him online, clips of me talking to him, certainly.0.91
00:22:18.000And he said, Yeah, you're fine as long as you stay out of Romania.
00:22:21.000And I told him, No, I'm fine even if I go to Romania.
00:22:24.000I think with all the goings on and all the massive wins that Andrew and I have been.
00:22:30.000You know, stacking up since 2025 when I finally got my passport back.0.98
00:22:38.000I think the ridiculousness of what the Romanian state are doing is becoming more and more evident.0.96
00:22:45.000There comes a time where the attacks bother you, but then the attacks weaken and then they run out of ammo.0.99
00:22:53.000And at one point, they're just kind of like tickling you, and you're like, these people are fucking annoying.
00:22:57.000But everybody can see there's a personal vendetta and a personal grudge somewhere along the line.0.96
00:23:10.000And I'm hoping to pick up some hate speech violations myself because the more they do this, the more stupid they look.0.99
00:23:16.000So, yes, I will be going back to Romania because I'm not afraid of lies and I'm not afraid of false persecutions and I'm not afraid of prosecutors and I'm not afraid of judges.0.98
00:23:25.000Some of the judges in my case have actually been very fair and very good.
00:23:29.000But my point is, when the truth is on your side, you don't fear these things.
00:23:35.000That I get when I walk through one of the affluent areas of Bucharest, maybe the city center, even, and I just get swarmed with people coming up to me saying, Tristan, we love you.
00:24:43.000I said, imagine interrupting another full grown man as he eats lunch with your phone in your hand, expecting him to halt his conversation and pose with you.1.00
00:25:25.000I much prefer people who come up and make an introduction and shake my hand and hand me a business card saying, if you're interested in my service, I do this.
00:25:34.000Because if you take a photo with me, you've immediately lost credibility as somebody who I think I should get to know.
00:25:43.000Because I don't do that with people more famous than me.
00:25:46.000Now, I understand if you're a kid, I'm not talking to all you youngsters in the world.
00:25:51.000If you're a young kid and you see a photo with me, I don't mind taking pictures with you.
00:25:54.000I don't even mind taking pictures with you as an adult.
00:25:57.000But my tweet was worded very specifically.
00:26:01.000It said, interrupting me as I'm eating lunch.
00:26:05.000Because there's a time and a place for it.
00:26:08.000If I'm standing at the bus stop waiting for my driver to pick me up, because he picks me up from a bus stop, and you ask me for a picture, I don't care who you are.
00:26:15.000I will say yes, I'll smile, I'll take the picture, and I won't think anything negative of you.
00:26:20.000But if I'm sitting down at a meeting talking to somebody and you don't know who that person is, I guarantee you they're an important person, and you tap me on the shoulder.
00:26:30.000And you say, hey, can I take a picture?
00:26:32.000You've got your phone in your hand and you're expecting me to stand up midway through lunch.
00:26:35.000And then after you do it, someone else is going to do it two minutes later, five minutes later, two minutes after that.
00:26:40.000No, you can't ask a man who's eating lunch or a man who's with his family or a man who's with his kids if he'll pause what he's doing and take a picture.0.86
00:26:48.000So to answer your question, I don't really go to the places everybody goes because when I go to the places where everybody goes and people have been drinking, people have been enjoying themselves, it's a big fucking photo line that forms.
00:27:01.000After a little bit of time, my two options are to go to the extremely high end places where everyone's got a bit of money and everyone's got a bit too much ego to ask me things, or to just stay in my house.
00:27:52.000But I'll be more active on the platform in the chats, maybe just as a general user because it's going to be a public company and anyone can sign up if they like.
00:27:59.000So I may be more active in the real world very soon.
00:28:03.000If you are in the real world, though, and you haven't yet downloaded the Rumble wallet, You're making a big mistake.
00:28:11.000What Andrew and I are planning for the rest of the year heavily involves not just the online educational platform, the real world, but also the Rumble wallet as well.
00:28:22.000Rumble has always been the number one platform for free speech.
00:28:28.000And the American Supreme Court, I've said this before, has listed your money as your free speech.
00:28:32.000You could send money to which politicians you want because it's your free speech.
00:28:35.000You could spend your money on what you want as long as it's legal because it's your free speech.
00:28:41.000When you spend or send money somewhere, if I donate money to a charity, that's my free speech in action.
00:28:46.000If I want to purchase a product because I think it's good, that is my free speech in action.
00:28:51.000So, as the number one arbiter and with holder and champion of free speech, you can't trust any wallet like you could trust Rumble.
00:29:02.000They are not going to fuck with you, they're not going to freeze your funds, they're not going to steal your money.
00:29:06.000So, I'm a big user of the Rumble wallet and I'm planning something epic and upcoming for everybody who is both inside the real world and/or a user.
00:29:15.000Of the Rumble wallet, you're going to see more details about this coming up on Twitter very soon.
00:29:40.000Well, you're making your 11 pounds an hour, next hour, you're going to make 11 pounds by the end of the day, you're going to make 88 pounds.
00:29:48.000By the end of the week, you're going to make 88 times 5.
00:29:51.000And there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
00:29:54.000Hard work, I've always defined it as when I feel I'm stacking something up.
00:30:31.000When I was on the phone 10 hours a day, five days a week, building up all these proposals, I didn't make any money in my first month or very little.
00:30:40.000I made very little money in my first two months, but by month four and month five, I was killing it.
00:30:45.000Money was flowing in because all of these potential deals were dropping in.
00:30:49.000What you need to do is you need to look at your line of work in whatever it is that you do and you need to see that you're building up potential.
00:31:00.000And if you spend all day, 10 hours on your laptop, working on whatever it is you're working on, and you think there's no way this could ever turn into money one day, then you're not working hard.
