Transcripts
so if you had a teenage son what would
be the one piece of advice you'd give
him to break through the Matrix and
Achieve success in life whatever that is
I'm actually genuinely worried about my
children because I grew up so broke and
they're going to be so [ __ ] Rich it
is a worry isn't it it's a worry because
you're a different man when you have no
safety net you're a different man when
you you have to pull it off no I need to
no I literally have to pull this off I
have to roll the dice most men don't
understand what it feels like to roll a
dice and you have to get a six [ __ ]
what do you mean you have to no I have
to guess it yeah oh but what if you
don't no no I have to get assistance
you're not understanding me so that
that's extremely character building
I think if you're a young man even if
you're not my child if you're just any
man who's out there in the world today
you need to look at some problems that
need solving either for yourself or for
society and find a way to fix them and I
think that you should just adopt some
problems and try and fix them it doesn't
matter what it is you can just try and
fix the litter in your area or you can
try and get a six-pack or whatever you
want men are Builders the modern world
call me misogynistic the modern world
was built by men every building you're
in was built by man every road you drive
on was built by men we're Builders we
build things and that's what you should
be focused on and like I said before if
you're hard working and you build and I
think you'll do well in life that's what
it's really well get shy you can't hide
away from the brutal realities of work
that's that's it and and while we're on
the subject that's actually where these
last two years have been pure clown
world because I've known some people
who've made a bunch of money in crypto
and I've said to them
what you've just gone through what
you've just done is Once in a generation
and it's completely ruined you because
normally if you make let's say 200 Grand
you have learned lessons to make that
200 Grand you've learned marketing
you've learned sales you've learned how
to manage staff you learn how to deal
with pressure you learn how to be on
time you've learned a bunch of things so
you can continue it so you can continue
and even if you lose all the money
you've you retain the lessons 100 what
have you learned you bought a coin it
went up okay good you have not learned a
single [ __ ] thing about how money is
made about personal development you
didn't even learn how to have a firm
handshake and put on a tie you learn
nothing you pulled it off you made a few
made a few dollars you've lost them now
and now the worst thing about it is you
think you're too good for work you think
you're so smart now yeah oh my God made
it this is the next one to you got lucky
now you think you're too good to
actually get up and grind you think it's
gonna pull it off again another lottery
win and you don't think you have to work
very hard and guess what's gonna happen
to you even when I'm [ __ ] broke
because that's not the reality of the
world that clown World [ __ ] over all
that [ __ ] is over we're about to get
into harder times than ever if you're
sitting at home and you made a bit of
money with crypto and you think don't
worry he's gonna go up again soon you're
just praying for some external Force
that's not self-accountability sitting
and watching the Bitcoin price waiting
for it to go up so you have money it's
not self-accountability that's that's
prayer that you might as well just do
the lottery numbers all these people who
made money in this clown World a lot of
them haven't learned any lessons about
the reality of Earth and it's about to
get a lot harder inside of my school the
real world we have an entire subject on
attention and focus because a lot of
kids especially young kids now can't
even pay attention we have to teach them
from the beginning how to watch the
lessons because they're too long and
they can't focus it's crazy it's all
it's like picking up your phone all the
time like even some of the people that
work for for us you know that I want
them to be focusing on their job and
they're always on their phones it's not
because there's a lot of other things I
know I know but yeah they're always on
their phone it's breaking their
attention and they don't realize it's
not the time just on their phone it's
like taking them out from it and then
back into it it takes you a bit of time
to get into it completely people can't
even put yeah and and so inside the
school in the real world we have to
teach people how to focus again so like
these last few years have been complete
clown world and uh I think we're about
to hit very very difficult times but in
hard times the people who are good at
the game get very worried well we
interviewed uh Tom Hartley very recently
the Supercar dealer
um and he made his money from 11 years
old to 17 lost a million at that point
went back to broke but the words he said
were I learned all those lessons I can
get there again completely
