	Thank you.
	What's up, guys?
	Welcome to Freshman Podcast, man.
	We're here with the legend himself, Ty Lopez.
	Let's get into it!
	it let's go we'll
	see you next time and we
	are back What's up, guys?
	One of the freshers podcast, man.
	We apologize for the delay, guys.
	We literally just got off the plane.
	We came, as you guys know, from Dallas, Texas.
	We're out there with Steven Crowder.
	We had a great podcast, man.
	We talked about a bunch of different things.
	We talked about intersexual dynamics, modern-day dating, marriage, divorce, a bunch of stuff, man.
	Some political stuff.
	So it was a great conversation, man.
	So we apologize for the delay.
	But we are here with a legend, man.
	So go ahead, man.
	Yeah.
	Welcome, bro.
	I know who you are.
	I mean, we're freaking, like, fans of you.
	We support you as well.
	But they may not know who you are.
	Please tell them who you are, bro.
	Oh, man.
	How do I describe myself?
	You know, I always say you should figure out what you want on your gravestone.
	So I hope my gravestone will say he was a mad scientist.
	Mad scientist?
	That's right.
	He tried a lot of stuff.
	I look at you as an OG marketer, one of the first guys in the space to actually put yourself out there on every platform and make a hell of money.
	Yeah, yeah.
	People say I'm the OG. I don't know who the OG is, but I know when I started, I was the first one to go at scale talking on business and making money from a personal brand at scale.
	There was other people.
	There was Joe Rogan, there was Gary Vee, but they were doing different stuff.
	So now the game, I always say I look around at who's running the game, I'm like 80% of these people are either my students or We're at my house.
	It's great.
	Like, 80% of the top influencers, they're in my DMs before anybody knew who they were.
	But, you know, I was early.
	If you're an early mover, the early bird gets the worm, you know?
	I feel like everyone took inspiration from you on some level.
	Either they personally or they took your information and copied it.
	But take us back to when you were, like, a child, like, coming up.
	Like, what was a childhood like?
	What was it like being in school?
	What did you want to get into as a kid?
	What was that like?
	Yeah, so I was born, my dad's from Harlem, New York.
	So my dad went to prison when I was born.
	So all my, you know, my baby pictures are in the prison yard.
	My dad went to Terminal Island.
	It's an island off Los Angeles.
	So I was born to a single mom, Long Beach, Compton, that area.
	And, you know, I live kind of different lives.
	But when I graduated high school, I was living in a mobile home in North Carolina.
	So I started out, like, I didn't really have a father figure.
	That's why I got so into mentors in books.
	You know, when I was 16, I wrote a letter to my step-grandpa, and I said, life's too complicated.
	You got too much, you have to figure out your political party, who you're going to marry, what you're going to study, what's your career, how you make money.
	I said, will you give me all the answers?
	And he wrote me back, and he said, Ty, it's too complicated.
	If you're lucky, you'll find a few people who will mentor you.
	And that's what I did, and I went and I traveled around the world.
	And what's helped me a lot is literally...
	Pablo Picasso said, good art is copy, great art is steal.
	So if you can find somebody that you can shadow, that's what I started doing.
	That'll take you from $47 in my bank account sleeping on a couch in a mobile home, you make a million dollars an hour.
	The game's wide open for people.
	Out of everyone that you met, who was most influential in your career, you would say?
	My first mentor was a farmer.
	He's famous now, called Joel Salatin.
	He was like a boot camp guy.
	He told me to fucking discipline.
	Discipline makes money.
	I was supposed to wake up once on the farm.
	I was 19, and I overslept.
	I was supposed to wake up at 4 in the morning.
	He was going to be working some cattle, big cows.
	And I didn't wake up, and the cows broke his ribs.
	And he came.
	He was a tough dude with broke ribs.
	He came to my little cabin, kicked the door down, said, don't ever.
	When I ask you to do something, it's life or death out here on a farm.
	And so that's the last time I ever overslept.
	Wow.
	But everybody needs a boot camp.
	You know, the world's weak-willed now.
	Because a lot of people don't have that dude who just shows up and is like, fuck, let me show you how the game works.
	So everybody needs that game works boot camp guy.
	And I had that.
	I mean, now I have a lot of mentors.
	I'm in business with two guys that are on the Forbes list.
	I have a mentor, Tillman Fertitta.
	He owns the Houston Rockets.
	You know, he's worth $7 billion.
	So I'm trying to...
	The thing is, the more money you make...
	The smaller the mentor pool.
	Because you want somebody that's...
	If you make $100 million, you need somebody who has a bill in cash.
	So that you look up to them, you know?
	But I'm always searching, you know?
	And I divide life into the four pillars of good life.
	Health, wealth, love, happiness, right?
	And so I have a health mentor.
	I've trained with, I mean, I'm not a pro athlete, but I'm a busy dude.
	I've trained with Dorian Yates, Mr.
	Olympia, you know.
	I always say everybody should have a mentor as a male and a female.
	And the reason is because you ain't fucking smarter than nature.
	And mother nature spits out male, female, 50-50.
	In every country, in every society, it's about 50-50.
	So I have a female mentor, you know, Becca Swanson.
	She's the strongest woman in history.
	She helped me a lot.
	Bench press.
	You get a mentor.
	You know, she benched 601 as a woman.
	She's a beast.
	You can get a world record.
	So I have a health, two mentors, male, female.
	Wealth, I have a lot more mentors just because making money is more complex.
	Love, I have Dr.
	David Buss.
	Oh, wow.
	Oh, yeah.
	Dude, he'd been mentoring.
	People don't know.
	Like, I made him famous.
	He started mentoring me 10 years ago.
	I talked to him three times a week.
	We actually...
	That's crazy, bro.
	Yeah.
	And I have a female, Dr.
	Helen Fisher.
	She's the chief scientist for Tinder.
	She controls the data.
	She has more data than any psychologist in history.
	So I have a male, female mentor.
	You know, I know a lot of the OG guys.
	I was just with Mystery.
	You know who Mystery is?
	Of course.
	Yeah, legend.
	So me and Mystery, we were just up in Iceland.
	What was he at nowadays?
	The last I spoke to him, he was in Mexico.
	England.
	England now.
	I was in Finland with him, then Iceland.
	So, you know, love, you know, and then happiness.
	I lived with the Amish for two and a half years.
	I still, from here, I'm going to my Amish.
	I have a farm in the middle of the Amish community.
	Pennsylvania?
	This is Virginia.
	Okay.
	But I used to live in Lancaster.
	Why a farm, though?
	Shit, you gotta be happy, man.
	Cities are about...
	Look, there's a good book.
	There's a good book called Where Good Ideas Come From.
	There's a mathematical equation.
	Cities, you're a higher likelihood to make money.
	Primarily because you rub shoulders with other creative people.
	But, as Dr.
	Buss says, cities attract psychopaths.
	So your happiness, you get more exploitation, big cities.
	So you make more money, but if you want to be happy, get the fuck out of a city.
	So I spend 50% of my time outside of big cities.
	That's powerful.
	You mentioned earlier that you have a bunch of different mentors in the wealth department.
	Is that because each one might have a certain discipline that made them a bunch of money in that?
	I divide money.
	I call the seven money-making skills you have to have.
	I call the emperor, the king, queen, the two princes, and the two princesses.
	So the emperor skill is personal brand.
	The first trillionaire is already here.
	Anytime they call you by one fucking word, you're a personal brand.
	Oprah.
	Tate's a personal brand now.
	Trump.
	But the richest is a man named Putin.
	Putin.
	He's the first trillionaire.
	Shit.
	If you do the enterprise value of Russia as a country, you just use ChatGPT, it's $5 trillion.
	That man easily controls 20% of that country.
	He's the first trillionaire.
	So the Forbes list now has the biggest, wealthiest man of official wealth is Elon Musk.
	It wasn't until Elon Musk Bought into the social media game.
	I remember, Elon must have been kicking around in Hollywood.
	I'll go all the same thing.
	I got all these videos with Elon before people know him on my social.
	You scroll down my Insta.
	I mean, he was wealthy.
	When I first met him in 2011, he did a little talk.
	But he was more of a local celebrity.
	But we once had a talk.
	I said, Elon, he asked me.
	I was at the Game of Thrones world premiere.
	It's on my social.
	He said, Ty, you think I Snapchat?
	It was when Snap was big.
	This is 2016, 2017.
	He's like, do you think I should use it for Tesla?
	And I gave a long explanation.
	Yeah, I think you should.
	He said, I don't think I need it.
	A good product will sell itself.
	But in a loud-ass world, you better fucking control the platform.
	And so he bought...
	X, Twitter.
	People say, oh, 40 billion dollars is too much money.
	I'm like, this motherfucker's smart like a fox.
	He drops 40 billion to buy Twitter.
	He only puts in a couple bill himself, five bill, borrows 35, and now he's the loudest microphone on earth.
	If you look at his tweets and impressions, his ex, whatever the fuck you call him, the exes, you know, like, he'll have 5 million.
	He posts eight times a day, he's hitting 400 million people.
	That's a continent.
	Wow.
	He reaches a continent and from a position of authority.
	Like I used to own nightclubs.
	The most powerful power position is when you walk in to a club and you're like, welcome to my club.
	That's better than I'm the promoter.
	I'm the fucking, I'm rich.
	You're like, welcome to my club.
	So he's like, welcome to my platform.
	Yeah.
	And so personal brand.
	So I say the emperor skill is personal brand.
	80% of the Forbes list will be composed.
	The last 80% for the last 20 years has been composed of software people.
	So the last 20 years, the software guys ran the world.
	But now you got AI. And AI is like fucking gonna achieve consciousness.
	And when it achieves consciousness, it's gonna run on its own.
	So the only thing humans will have left is their own personal brand.
	Wow, that's powerful.
	That's all you'll have.
	So you guys are on the right track.
	It's like you build the brand.
	So that's the emperor skill.
	The king skill is direct sales.
	70% of self-made billionaires were in sales.
	Mark Cuban told me, Ty, I used to sell trash bags door to door.
	Elon Musk was selling.
	Bill Gates was selling.
	So sales.
	Sometimes people are like, Ty, you sell too much.
	I'm like, bitch, that's because I'm smart.
	You're fucking stupid motherfuckers.
	Look, I tell people, you gotta drop out of society.
	You know, the best thing I ever did was drop out of society.
	I dropped out of college.
	I live with Amish.
	I dropped out of everything.
	And when people were saying you should go to college in 20...
	You think I get hate now.
	In 2013, I was telling people...
	Don't go to college.
	Unless you're going to be a medical doctor, engineer, architect.
	I said this shit doesn't work.
	It's causation correlation.
	Harvard works because the richest kids go there.
	And if you notice, the wealthiest Harvard are the ones who didn't graduate.
	Bill Gates, Zuckerberg.
	I know Steve Ballmer.
	Steve Ballmer's like, I stayed in school, Ty, and I'm worth half.
	He's worth a hundred bill now, but he's worth less.
	So people have to drop out of society.
	So sales is the king's skill.
	Queen is marketing.
	All marketing.
	David Ogilvie, the most famous marketer.
	They made the show Mad Men about him.
	Marketing is just automation of direct sales.
	You know, when I made here in my garage video, I just automated as if I was talking to you.
	Like, yo, I'm here in my garage.
	Like you were visiting my house.
	Marketing at scale is the queen scale.
	Then the two princes, you know, are digital products.
	Okay?
	All money's made online.
	Now, digital.
	Elon Musk made his first wealth in digital products.
	PayPal had nothing physical.
	Okay?
	So then the second is services type skills.
	The unknown billionaire is Larry Ellison.
	Fourth richest man in the world.
	Nobody talks about him.
	He sells businesses, software, and services.
	So that's the two prince skills.
	The two queen skills are affiliate reselling.
	That's what Apple does.
	The most profitable part of Apple.
	Every time you download an app and buy something, they get 30 cents.
	They're like, the mob, bro.
	The mob doesn't even charge 30% big.
	These motherfuckers are like 30 cents off everything.
	And then the last princess skill, you know, is physical products, e-com.
	You know, a lot of people teach an e-com dropship.
	I saw some, I'm like, don't put me in the dropshipper name.
	Fuck, I last year shipped more physical products out of warehouses than all the dropshippers on the entire internet combined.
	Like, I'm doing hundreds of millions.
	Yeah, I own a big brand, dude.
	I own bodybuilding.com.
	I own shit like that.
	So, but physical products, I put it as a print skill because it's the hardest.
	Because you got cost of goods.
	You got to ship something heavy to people.
	So you should start with the print skill, which is digital.
	Sell digital.
	Mark Zuckerberg was worth 10 bill when he was in his 30s.
	No one's ever done that before.
	And it's all digital products, Insta.
	There's nothing real.
	He's not shipping you anything.
	Can we go through that list one more time, man?
	Because that was a lot of knowledge right there.
	I'm actually writing this down.
	Oh, is that why you got a pen and paper?
	I'm flattered, man.
	You got a pen and paper.
	I write stuff down all the time in a former career.
	But yeah, sorry.
	See, he's amazing.
	Yeah, so EmperorSkill is personal brand.
	That's the only thing that's going to separate you out of AI. So that's, then the king skills is direct sales.
	You got to know how to look somebody in the eye and close the deal.
	I rank all my company, I do Brazilian jujitsu, so I do, I rank all my company sales guys white to red belt.
	So white belt, you have a hard time closing a hundred dollar deal.
	Blue belts can close $100,000 to $1,000 deals.
	Purple belts can close $1,000 to $10,000.
	Brown, $10,000 to $100.
	Black belts can close $100,000 to $1 million in one phone call.
	And then you start getting above black belts, you start getting coral belts.
	My Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teacher, Higa Machado, he's a coral belt.
	So that's people can close a $1 to $10 million deal.
	And then lastly, you have your red belts.
	So...
	Do you remember Casper Knudsen?
	What's up?
	What's up, Casper?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's a student of mine from Denmark.
	Wow.
	His mom FaceTimed me.
	I went to Denmark to visit him.
	His mom started crying on the phone and said, time my son bought me a house while I was still in high school.
	Damn.
	Making millions.
	He's about the richest young kid in a whole country out of my program.
	So yeah, we're at the Kingskill?
	Kingskill.
	The Rex Hills.
	Queen is, can you automate that?
	That's marketing.
	And then you have the two print skills, which is digital products, services, and then services.
	Ideally software, by the way.
	And then the two princess skills is affiliate reselling, like what Apple does, and physical products.
	Ideally, every single dude watching, I see all these motherfuckers watching, I'm like, let me tell you, don't ever put my name in a scam.
	Y'all motherfuckers graduated from school.
	You didn't learn one of the seven.
	You didn't learn one of the seven skills.
	You ain't got shit.
	You don't know shit about any of it.
	So I'm like, you know, it's funny.
	The world...
	The world is full of wolves dressed in sheep clothing.
	Yes.
	See, I'm a sheep dressed in wolves clothing.
	I put beautiful women in Lambos.
	See, the world is driven by envy.
	Schopenhauer was a famous philosopher.
	He said three things rule the world.
	Number one, sex.
	Number two, food.
	And number three, boredom.
	But Schopenhauer's in the 1800s.
	I'm like, bro, let me add a fourth.
	Envy.
	Men are very envy-driven.
	And so...
	And I'm sure you've seen it.
	I saw your little trailer.
	You got Rolls Royces and women.
	Nothing makes a dude fucking flip the fuck out like another dude who's doing what he wished he did.
	And so...
	I'm telling you.
	Preach, man.
	Preach.
	Oh, nothing, dude.
	Men are bitches.
	It's funny.
	I know we're gonna talk about a whole bunch of women and, you know, women are illogical and men are illogical.
	I'm like...
	Homo sapiens are illogical.
	They're just different.
	It's called domain specific behavior.
	So women are more illogical on some things, but men, only a man will throw his whole life away.
	He built his whole career over another dude cutting him off in traffic that he's never met.
	Get out of that car, shoot that guy, go to life in prison.
	That's a man's type of illogic.
	You know, women have their own, men have their own short circuits and women have their own.
	But When it comes to envy, you know, and you guys are going to have to deal with that.
	And I tell people now, I hibernated my personal brand for a couple years.
	I wanted a break, you know, and I just brought it back and I got all these people coming up to me and I'm like, let me tell you, what Drake said was the simplest rule.
	If you don't have haters, you ain't popping.
	But the rule is, the 80-20 rule, you want about 20% of people mad at you.
	Charlie Munger used to say, if you're selling a product and 10% of people don't complain how expensive it is, you ain't charging enough.
	And if you're a personal brand and you don't have 20% of people pissed at you, and remember, 20% will sound like 90% because the 20% is loud.
	Really loud.
	But you have to be careful.
	Now, Donald Trump, the thing that's challenging Trump and some of the other influencers, They're up at about 50% hate.
	And that shit, 71 indictments happens.
	So for me, you know, when I'm out on the streets, I never have even 5% hate.
	So I've actually seen the last two years, I'm like, where's all my haters?
	And I realized I haven't been out there, you know?
	I haven't been out there.
	You gotta get out there.
	And you need to optimize around hate.
	You actually should look at your life and be like, why don't I have any critics, you know?
	There's no statutes to committees.
	There's no statutes to introverts.
	Now, you can be an introvert, but you look at...
	Fortune favors the bold, man.
	The bold.
	And the second you're bold, everybody's mad because of envy.
	Yeah.
	I've never heard that breakdown before, ever.
	That was really good.
	Ty, you coined the term knowledge.
	Yes.
	That's one of your key phrases or key words to say.
	Infinite wisdom.
	How many books have you actually read?
	Shit, a lot.
	Do you know?
	How many books have you read?
	Many thousands.
	Top three business books, you would say?
	Top three business books?
	If you don't mind.
	You know a good business book that I actually made a New York Times bestseller is The One Thing by Gary Keller, The Power of Focus.
	It's a good book, man.
	Everybody should read Gary Keller's The Power of One Thing.
	Hmm.
	You want to read Dr.
	David Buss' Evolutionary Psychology.
	Okay.
	And the reason why, he's the founder of the Harvard Evolutionary Psychology Department.
	He's probably the, I mean, Jordan Peterson says, yo, most influential person I've ever met is Dr.
	David Buss.
	Yeah.
	I like his work a lot.
	I've looked into it extensively.
	Dude, Dr.
	Buss, he based a lot of his stuff around me.
	Like, Dr.
	Buss used to come hang with me in Hollywood for a long, I'm like, Dr.
	Buss, why are you hanging with me?
	He's like, I've been, I wanted to see his thing as status.
	Mm-hmm.
	I did a talk in 2012.
	I called it the algorithm of the female mind.
	It was at the global online dating conference in Vegas.
	And I was saying, I got an algorithm.
	Women have 12 algorithmic calculations that they do.
	So they look at your height, and they look at your ambition, and they look blah, blah, blah, blah.
	But I got off the stage, and this old dude comes up to me.
	He wasn't old, but 60-year-old guy.
	And he's like, Ty, that was a good talk.
	I didn't know who he was.
	He goes, but you forgot something.
	I was like, who's this fucking guy?
	But then when he talked, I was like, oh, I'm talking to an OG. He said, you forgot status.
	Yeah.
	Oh, shit.
	Who gets more women?
	Jeff Bezos?
	Or...
	Leonardo DiCaprio.
	You saw that meme where they were looking.
	Status is fungible.
	It's a fungible.
	People think of NFTs, non-fungible, these kind of assets.
	But The ultimate.
	Before there was fucking NFTs that you could trade, there was status.
	There was, you know, the man who had the most sons in history.
	Mubarak the bloodthirsty.
	Had between 700 and 900 sons.
	He didn't even fucking count his daughters back then.
	So I think it was in the 1300s in Morocco.
	This was a man of status.
	He sat on a...
	Throne of Skulls.
	And you walked into Mubarak Bloodthirsty.
	But that was a fungible...
	Probably, I don't know, if you do the math on 700 sons, and you look at the distribution pattern from the 1300s, probably this dude's 30% of the...
	You know, fathered 30% of modern-day Morocco.
	Damn.
	Like Genghis Khan.
	Genghis Khan, yeah.
	Yeah, Genghis Khan's probably 1% of the world.
	Depends on what math you look at.
	But you need...
	So, you know, going back to mentors...
	The game changers always are not what you learn.
	It's who you bump into.
	That's all who you bump into.
	I agree with you on the status thing.
	Literally, we talked about this with Crowder earlier.
	I said if there's one amplifier that you would pick if you just wanted to strictly attract women, it would be status.
	Because at some point, you could be handsome, you could have money, whatever, and some girls are going to gravitate towards that.
	But status is the one thing that if you're famous, you look at a guy like, I like to use Bad Bunny as an example, right?
	Yeah.
	If he wasn't famous, would he get as many women for being, like, you know, bisexual and stuff?
	Most women would be repulsed by that.
	But he's able to still attract a majority of hot girls.
	Is he bisexual?
	Is that what he says?
	Yeah, he pretty much says that he, like...
	But tell you, we won't depend on this, man, real quick.
	We argue that the most status-driven, I want to say, profession you can get girls is reggaeton artists.
	Yeah.
	What do you think?
	Reggaeton, if you want Latin with me, ain't gonna fucking help you.
	I live in Sweden.
	They don't give a shit about reggaeton.
	But, yeah, down in Miami, I'll tell you, look, I have my own, I call it my 13 thesis, my 13 hypothesis for a high status man.
	I'd say you're on to something.
	I would say that there's other, who would you, here's the question.
	Who would you fucking hide your girl from?
	That's the question.
	Ah, okay.
	So am I hiding my girl from a reggaeton artist?
	There's a subset of women that don't care about, there's women that don't care more like grimy.
	I'll tell you who you gotta hide your girl from.
	John Mayer.
	You remember John Mayer?
	See, you know, everybody talks about body count, but I'm like, it's not...
	Want me to tell you the most powerful measurement on a man?
	Because dudes count their body count.
	They're like, brah, I just love about 600 women, 200 women, whatever.
	Nah, nah, nah, nah.
	Who...
	Was the first love of the most beautiful women.
	That's a powerful man.
	John Mayer has women.
	He has Taylor Swift.
	Ten years later, she's writing angry things about that.
	She's in her head for decades.
	So here's the thing about John Mayer.
	I don't know who would win.
	Reggaeton artist or John Mayer.
	But John Mayer is...
	On the guitar, considered maybe the greatest living guitarist by men.
	So he has the status of men.
	He's a great singer, and he's six foot four and good looking.
	Caucasian, which most women prefer Caucasian men, statistically speaking.
	Yeah, that's what I said.
	John Mayer.
	But I mean, look.
	I'll tell you this, about 10% of women are totally faithful monogamous.
	So you've got to look at the subsets of women, too.
	Some women are going to sleep with a dude of any status as a fucking accountant at H&R Block.
	She's going to be like, that's enough status for me.
	So you've got to segment the population.
	But reggaeton might be pretty powerful.
	Movies are strong.
	Yeah, that's strong too.
	But I don't know if they have the same allure that they had 20 years ago.
	It's like influencers are starting to take over now.
	Unless you're A-list celeb, you're Leo or something, that's different.
	But okay, let me just play devil's advocate.
	Yeah, please.
	Men forget about the fantasy world.
	Like, men watch porn.
	They don't want fantasy.
	Women wear lingerie to create fantasy.
	Men are like, you look better without, you ain't getting that from me.
	Fuck lingerie, right?
	You watch a dude's porn?
	There's a great book on this.
	What's it called?
	A Thousand Little Pieces?
	A Million Little Pieces?
	It's the science.
	This researcher studied the data from porn.
	Okay, so like, dudes are looking at like fucking...
	This primitive shit.
	Okay?
	Now women are out here watching porn where nobody touches each other.
	Right.
	They're in a fantasy world.
	So the men who create massive fantasies.
	So the reason DiCaprio is so powerful is because Titanic, a lot of women now who just turned 18 today will watch Titanic for the first time and it gets in their head.
	And they can't differentiate that DiCaprio's not really a hero.
	Another...
	Remember Notebook with Gosling?
	So people...
	So men...
	I agree with you.
	Influencers on the rise.
	But a lot of influencers are very reality-based.
	You know who...
	You ever seen this dude that never shows his face?
	Oh, fuck.
	What's this guy's name?
	He's a heavy metal dude.
	He doesn't show his name.
	Come on.
	Somebody has to know.
	He shows his hands.
	And he speaks, and he talks on Instagram.
	Someone in the chat's gonna say it.
	Someone in the chat's gonna say it for sure.
	What's this dude?
	This is all dudes.
	This fucking guy crushes with women.
	Somebody put diglet.
	No, I'll remember.
	Yeah, corpse.
	Corpse husband.
	Oh.
	Hide your girl from Corp's husband because she doesn't have to meet him and she's gonna leave you virtually in her brain.
	Corp's husband is a fucking genius.
	It might be some puny-ass motherfucker guy that has a voice synthesizer.
	You watch it.
	It's 98% women watching him and he'll get in there and be like, hello ladies.
	And it's just like...
	Valvina-type shit.
	Wow.
	Oh, yeah, but you never shows his face.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	A lot of guys are too focused on your face.
	I'm like, fuck your face.
	The one good news about being a man, you can have an ugly face, you can make up for that shit with other stuff.
	Yeah.
	Women is a little tougher.
	Yeah, that's the good thing about men is like, yes, it's harder to attract, but you have more goes at it because you have more metrics that you can use to, you know, amplify any weak points you might have.
	But I think the strongest one is absolutely status.
	But, you know, obviously there's a bunch of ones, you know, physicality, height, income, all these things.
	Yeah, well, that's what I said, you gotta go domain specific.
	So there's a thing, one of the most important things in evolution is FDS, so frequency-dependent selection.
	So nature in its omnipotence, or if you're religion, you call it God, Distributes.
	For example, there are women.
	There's a subset of women.
	I've seen them.
	They do not care about looks.
	They call themselves, you know, sapiosexual.
	They're very attractive.
	Einstein was banging chicks.
	Yeah.
	Einstein, little Einstein.
	I knew a dude that knew Einstein, an old guy, and he said he smells horrible.
	But Einstein was a sapiosexual.
	Einstein.
	You go E equals MC squared.
	But the bigger question I think you're going to is who gets the largest slice of the pie?
	Yeah.
	Nerdy dudes don't get the largest slice.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	They don't.
	But you get a slice.
	Yeah.
	You can.
	You'll get a little slice of the pie.
	And in an 8 billion person world where 4 billion are women, a little slice can be all you ever need, keep you busy for life.
	So I think the men who get the largest maybe is the reggaeton, the musicians.
	It's the spiritual artists, I call it.
	Women are very powerful, a spiritual artist.
	So music is a non-materialistic, transcendent thing.
	So people who control that domain, whether it's art.
	I mean, I know a guy in New York.
	I used to collect his art.
	This fucking dude's ugly.
	I mean, his ratio of tens is ridiculous.
	Because he gets women there.
	He's like, I want to paint your hands and shit.
	And they come there.
	And it's like...
	Victoria's Secret model.
	And they're all fighting over him.
	If this dude, if this guy worked at a car wash, I mean, he'd be a fucking involuntary incel.
	Yeah.
	Jeans disappear off planet Earth.
	You know, if you have, like, a really interesting or cool skill that you can display at social gatherings, like, I know, for example, Mystery, right?
	We spoke about him before.
	Yes.
	Magician.
	Magician.
	Could you imagine going up in a club or whatever?
	And this is back before cell phones and everything else like that.
	Doing magic tricks and stuff like that.
	Girls are like, oh my god.
	Because it's a skill that not that many people have.
	David Blaine, for example.
	And it's interesting.
	Magicians kill it too.
	So it's like, it depends.
	And the other thing too, because the black pill guy's like, looks are everything.
	Not necessarily.
	What's that called?
	The black pill?
	Yeah, the black pill.
	How many fucking colors are there?
	I know there's red pill.
	They got a maroon pill?
	Who the fuck is this?
	Basically, they said that it's, you know, looks are everything.
	And it's like, look, for a lot of women, looks matter to a degree.
	But you'd be amazed at how you can compensate for it if you have other attributes.
	It's not the end-all, be-all.
	Speaking of pieces of...
	By the way, not to interrupt you.
	Pablo Picasso is 5'3".
	Look it up.
	5'3".
	He had like 12 women, long-term relationships.
	I think two women hung themselves or ended up in an insane asylum when he left them.
	Pablo Picasso was killing the game.
	But I'll tell you this.
	I've watched Pablo Picasso.
	There's a YouTube video before he died.
	Somebody had shot on film, not obviously on YouTube.
	The man is a magical, don't forget charisma.
	Yeah.
	Charisma is powerful, man.
	Charisma, money is powerful.
	I would say looks...
	I think there's a subset of women that you will not get without looks.
	So, look, I'm not the best looking guy in the world.
	It's a barrier to entry for a portion.
	Yeah, but leave that...
	Fuck that section.
	That's fine.
	You gotta have a...
	It's like in business.
	I don't look at every business and go, I gotta own everything.
	Just fuck that.
	Let other people live in that world.
	By the way, I would not...
	Go after that world.
	Why you want to play in that world?
	Especially if you want a mom.
	You want a mom.
	Just don't.
	Let the superficial women all fuck the same subset of dudes.
	Really.
	Just leave.
	That's the A-player Tinder dude.
	There's a guy who's the most matched Tinder guy in the world.
	And I texted him.
	And he follows me on Insta.
	He's an English guy.
	I don't know.
	He gets like 14,000 matches his first day or whatever.
	You can Google him.
	What's the metrics on this guy?
	I'm interested for the deal.
	He's a tall, light-skinned model.
	He's not white.
	Mixed?
	Mixed?
	He's mixed.
	Black and white?
	He's about your color.
	I'd say he's about your skin, a little darker than me, a little lighter than...
	Yeah, he's a tall model guy.
	And he takes great pictures.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah.
	So you gotta dissect the marketplace and say, the superficial women, can I play in that space?
	Just like I do in business.
	I drop into a section and it's like...
	Okay, am I going to buy this business or launch this?
	I can't win there.
	You know, Jack Welch, the greatest CEO of all time, said he only would play games that he could be number one or number two.
	So a lot of men, what happens is men are moving into a territory.
	You'll never be one or two.
	Leave that.
	Leave it for whatever the black pillars or whatever the fuck it is.
	You can move all around, you know, and there's a lot of pills out there.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I would argue there's enough pie out there for everyone to eat.
	Maybe not every piece of the pie, but some of it.
	Some you don't want to eat.
	There's some women out there you don't want.
	I'm just curious.
	How much of the pie are you eating?
	I've done all right.
	I've done all right.
	Hey man, look.
	If you have a son, ask yourself.
	What advice would you give your own son?
	What would you wish?
	I wouldn't.
	Wave a wand over my son and make him a 10 looks.
	It becomes stupid.
	Men don't...
	By the way, this whole concept that great looking men rule the world.
	Now, if you looked at the Forbes list, these are all runty motherfuckers for the most part.
	Elon's kind of a big dude, but...
	So, I think, you know, for me, I learned a long time ago, like, charisma will do a lot for you.
	You know, I think...
	I dissect the algorithm of the mind inversely.
	I go, what's the subset of women I'm attracted to?
	I have a subset.
	So I'm not even trying to eat at the whole table.
	At this point in my life, I'm like, ooh, I know the women that I like.
	I know what they look like.
	I know what they smell like.
	I know how they talk.
	I know their values.
	So you have to, that's where people go wrong, is like trying to be all things to all people.
	You ain't ever going to be all things to all people.
	In fact, you should optimize your life, just like for a personal brand, where 20% of people not only reject you, but overtly get pissed at you.
	You want 20% of women going, fuck that guy, because that means you have an archetype.
	You have to embody something.
	It's like a woman looks at me now, if she likes whatever, supermodel, she'd be like, fuck that guy.
	But the women who like smart guy...
	Little blazer on, make some money.
	Those women were like, fuck yeah, so you want to hypnotize?
	This way, hypnotize what you value, and then you want to repel what you don't because this will distract you.
	Waste time.
	My mentor Joel Salton said the worst thing to do is to grow old and realize you got good at the wrong thing.
	You know what the worst thing to do is?
	Realize you grew old with the wrong woman because she was a pretty face.
	Like Charlie Munger said, ain't nothing more dangerous in this world for a high-status man.
	than a pretty face.
	Fuck.
	Fucks more men.
	So I'm trying to repel the pretty faces that I know I won't...
	Every man...
	I've changed my thing on this.
	Every man...
	There's two mating strategies Dr.
	Buss teaches.
	Long term, short term.
	From the day you're born as a man, always optimize for long term.
	Because when you optimize for long term, you'll still get the fun short term.
	But you might accidentally get a girl pregnant, and pregnant is forever.
	And you want to have kids with not only a good set of genes, but good family.
	You've got to look at family.
	One of the most heritable traits on earth is mental illness.
	You know, height is.78 correlation.
	Your genes, okay?
	Height is around.78,.8.
	So 78% of who you are can be explained by your parents.
	Intelligence is about the same.
	And so is narcissism.
	And so is schizophrenia.
	So guys are out here not repelling.
	I want to repel the women who are not like fucking fucked up.
	I want to repel them.
	So what can I do?
	Because that beautiful face, that's crazy.
	I've seen it almost take down every top man.
	That starts getting that sass.
	You start vacuum cleaning up all the beautiful women.
	Dude, one out of 20 women is not only fucked up, but deadly.
	Yeah.
	Deadly.
	I mean, look at the Me Too situation going on right now.
	I mean, look at how many guys that we know that are getting accused years after the fact because they might have some political views that people might not like or they might be exposing a certain pandemic that occurred a couple of years ago.
	It's wild, man.
	It's like being weaponized now to go after certain guys.
	I mean, look at what's going on with Russell Brand.
	Look at what's going on with Andrew Tristan.
	Look at Trump.
	Yeah.
	You know, and it just so happens that all these guys have some conservative mindsets on certain topics, and, you know, they might be anti-whatever, anti-establishment.
	It's like, oh, you could send in the girls.
	Okay, yeah, me too.
	Boom.
	You know, Johnny Depp almost lost everything over Amber Heard, and that chick is crazy.
	Yeah.
	Hey, there's a prime example.
	I mean, Johnny Depp, the man who...
	If you show women young Johnny Depp pictures, 100 women...
	He'll often win.
	The majority say that's the best looking guy.
	But he was also a great actor.
	I mean, you see some of his movies, Pirates of the Caribbean.
	This guy's a good actor.
	What the fuck?
	I've met Amber Heard.
	I don't even...
	Rich dudes and celebrities suck with women.
	There's not one billionaire I've ever met that's good with women.
	There you go.
	They gotta be fucked up, ugly.
	They're not even pretty.
	DiCaprio's an exception.
	DiCaprio's got...
	He got caviar taste, boy.
	He's got taste.
	But I mean, Forbes list guys, you look at their women, you're just like...
	I know why you made money, because you don't know shit.
	Sometimes I used to teach, I used to be a professional salsa dancer.
	You teach some woman to dance, you're like, this woman has no genetics.
	She's hearing a different song, you know, like, because she's dancing all weird.
	You're like, that's not the song in the rest of this room.
	I meet some billionaires, I see their girlfriend, I'm like, you don't have eyeballs.
	The rest of the men, like, what the fuck happened to your eyes?
	Yeah.
	And so, yeah, celebrities, don't ever go, Johnny Depp, imagine being able to have it all.
	Yeah.
	You see women walking down.
	Today, in Miami, I did a little walk.
	I saw three women hotter than Amber Heard.
	Yeah.
	She's walking around here.
	And Amber Heard's passed around.
	I'm like, goodness.
	Yeah, fucks.
	She belongs to the streets.
	You know what I mean?
	You look at someone like, what's her name?
	Logan Paul's chick right now.
	I'm like, what are you doing, man?
	I'm friends with Logan, so I'm not going to speak.
	You asked me if there's anything I want to speak.
	I'm loyal to my friends.
	He's also one of my students, one of my most successful guys in my SMMA program.
	Oh, wow.
	No, here's the thing.
	Look, I don't have a problem with Logan.
	I like his, you know, I just, you know, very smart guy, doing well with business, everything.
	But I look at it like, God damn, this woman is tarnishing his image.
	Yeah.
	Like, I look at it like, what the fuck?
	Like, dude, you could have done way better.
	This chick is in her 30s.
	She's used up.
	Like, bro, you're on the way to making 30.
	Like, come on, man.
	I'm not gonna...
	We gotta change the subject.
	My friends, I'm like, I'm a loyal dude.
	If you're good to me, I'll be friends.
	I know people talk shit, you know, and Amber Heard's a better example.
	Fair enough.
	Amber Heard's a better example.
	She's out here shitting on beds.
	I don't know.
	What the fuck?
	That's what she did.
	Yeah, she did.
	That's crazy, bro.
	Ah!
	Elon Musk was with her.
	I'm like, what?
	Sometimes, you know what happens?
	A man makes no money.
	He gets no friends.
	He grows up in high school bullied.
	He makes money.
	Anything looks good to them.
	That's the problem.
	The one thing, I wasn't really nerdy growing up, so thank God I kept some taste, man.
	I was like, ah, that.
	I mean, I haven't dated, like, DiCaprio, but I've dated beautiful women.
	My big thing is, like, I like women who look good with no makeup.
	That's a good rule right there.
	Yeah, that's a very good rule.
	The reason, there's actually good science to this, women who have excessive, so body modifications, or women who, and this is for men too, but I don't date men, but humans who do a lot of plastic surgery, a lot of makeup, are higher on dark triad traits.
	So that, you know, you're like, oh, that's an innocent view?
	That's an innocent woman.
	She looks more innocent.
	There's some science to that.
	There's some science to that, you know?
	And I mean, you know, women tend to be more narcissistic than men are, but like, yeah, like the women that are out here, you know, with plastic surgery with the duck lips and the boobs and the ass jobs and all that other stuff.
	You know, they tend to be way more narcissistic.
	They're staring at themselves in the mirror more.
	You know, it's just, yeah.
	And that's annoying.
	And I've always said, I don't know if you can agree or disagree, but I've said like, you know, a lot of guys say, I want a 9 and a 10.
	I want a really hot chick.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah, those girls are fun for a period of time, but they're really annoying long-term, bro.
	They really are.
	Like, the hottest girls are not...
	Always.
	Yeah, they're...
	A lot of times, they don't develop as people.
	They're boring.
	They're not interesting.
	Like, you can't hold a conversation with them.
	They're dumb as fuck.
	They're very vain.
	And, you know, you can tolerate that for, like, a week, two weeks, maybe a month or whatever, but, like, the hottest girls a lot of times are useless because they've never had to be useful because they've gotten everything given to them just for existing.
	That's why you gotta go in the right car.
	Because there's countries where there's so many beautiful women, they have to develop their personality.
	That's why I lived in Scandinavia.
	I've been going to Scandinavia.
	I don't tell that.
	I've heard good things.
	I don't tell a lot of people.
	I'm like, nah, I don't go to Scandinavia.
	Go to fucking Miami.
	Because what happens in a place that has...
	Look, Scandinavia...
	Here's a good true story.
	The original model agency in the world was Ford Models, right?
	Started Eileen Ford in the 50s.
	After that was a woman named Wilhelmina.
	I'm actually, it's the largest publicly traded model agency in the world.
	I'm the second largest owner in Wilhelmina, my company.
	So I know a lot about Wilhelmina.
	Now there's a dude who came after him.
	And he beat the first two model agencies.
	It's called Elite.
	His name was John Casablanca.
	All you red pill dudes, I don't know what pill I am.
	I'm a fucking, I'm all pills.
	I'm the gray pill.
	I don't know what that is, but read John Casablanca.
	This, John Casablanca probably beat DiCaprio in the, for sure.
	Okay?
	What did John Casablanca do?
	After 20 years, they said, how did you grow past all the model agencies?
	I used to go from Paris.
	I'd grab a quick flight up to Stockholm, Sweden.
	I'd walk on the street, pick two supermodels off, fly back home the next day.
	So Scandinavia has this crazy density of beauty.
	And I think it's because of the glaciated soils.
	If you look at soil, soil fertility is the underpinning of human health.
	And beauty is a metric of symmetry.
	And So Sweden, you go there, you will find the most intelligent, beautiful women.
	Because they all kind of look the same, and so if they're dumb...
	A dude will just trade him in for another beautiful Swedish girl.
	So America's a tough place.
	America's not a beautiful place.
	Obesity is too accepted here.
	That's the problem.
	Yeah, and even before then, you look, migration patterns in the world.
	America was the merchant.
	Napoleon, the French, used to call America the merchant place.
	Everybody who loves money ends up in New York.
	It's a selection.
	Genetics, you select for certain traits.
	So America attracts dopamine driven people.
	High greed.
	New York is the there's only two cities in the world over one trillion dollar GDP.
	One of them is New York City.
	It's a one point four trillion.
	It's fucking nuts.
	What's the second one?
	Tokyo.
	OK, well, but it's still New York's hundreds of billions above.
	So anyway, the point being is America was never selected in my.
	So it is obesity is making it worse.
	But economic terms, I'm a businessman.
	There's an economic term called thick market, thin market, okay?
	It has nothing to do with, by the way, being thick or thin.
	America's a thin market for beauty.
	So what happens is, you gotta find the needle in the haystack, and then that needle in the haystack, if you find it, okay, She's probably more entitled.
	So you gotta either go where beauty is thick Or they come to you.
	Yeah.
	When you make a little money, you can bring them to you.
	Yeah.
	I agree with you on that.
	And that's why I like Miami so much is that beauty is fairly common here, which is rare in the rest of the United States.
	Anytime I go other places, I love Texas, but goddamn the girls are ugly.
	We just came out from there.
	Texas is a void.
	Everyone's fat.
	It's just crazy.
	Even people say, oh, there's a bunch of hot girls in LA. I think Miami beats the brakes off of LA when it comes to hot girls.
	South America...
	We got Brazil coming here as well.
	New York City is overrated, too, in my opinion.
	New York's horrible.
	Yeah, like, you get some girls there, whatever, but it's like, with all the libs and, you know, body acceptance, it's like, bro, Miami's like the last standing place where, like, you know, it's a lot of beautiful girls.
	Miami's almost its own country.
	My assistant at Trials of Me speaks no Spanish.
	By the way, a little practical tip.
	You want to learn another language, get an assistant.
	She's been here nine years from Cuba.
	She learns a word a year.
	I was like, Heidi, you know nine words.
	You've been here nine years.
	So I... When we come here to Cuba, I mean, sorry, Miami.
	That was an intentional joke.
	When we land here, she's like, ah, I can speak with everybody.
	She doesn't have to use her Google Translate.
	Miami's not America.
	This is a subset.
	This is a fucking territory.
	This is a territory like the Philippines.
	I mean, if you go 30 miles north to Fort Lauderdale, it's a different world.
	Yeah.
	It's a completely different world.
	But the thing I do like about it is that, you know, the women here are more feminine.
	Typically, they're more attractive.
	They take care of their looks because it's more Latin inspired.
	But like the rest of America, obese pigs, man, everywhere.
	But Europe's good because you also get IQ, man.
	Okay.
	By the way, somebody's trying to flame me.
	Sexy Yama, you got fucking horrific listening skills.
	I said the city of New York.
	This dude said, this guy goes, New York City's not the biggest GDP, California is.
	This motherfucker is a product of the school system.
	Confused.
	You got classification.
	You got cities, states are bigger, just to help you out here.
	I get worried, boy.
	Some of you gotta drop out of society.
	I always say, I tell people, society is a machine.
	Right?
	So it's like a car.
	And most of you listening are like on the wheel.
	So you're a cog in somebody else's machine.
	So all day you come home from work, you don't like your life because you're being ground into the dirt.
	But make no mistake, some dude is controlling that machine.
	If you look at the top 10 wealthiest people in the world, men.
	They control wealth of the bottom half 4 billion people.
	So wealth's highly concentrated.
	You got 10 machines.
	Bill Gates got a machine, Elon Musk.
	These people are employing directly millions, directly millions, and then when you look at the supply chain of Microsoft or the supply chain of Elon Musk, they're controlling the lives of hundreds of millions.
	So a lot of you are in a machine.
	You don't understand why your life sucks.
	You're just being ground in the dirt.
	You're trying to get a promotion to make a little more money.
	What I did is drop out of society.
	You gotta make your own machine.
	I drive my own machine.
	People say, whatever you want about me, I'm the fucking boss.
	I make my own money.
	I still have accountability and there's still downsides.
	But the product of the machine is people don't know the difference between a fucking city and a state.
	I'm like, bro, you're so deep in the machine, you don't even know.
	I feel bad for you, honestly, you know?
	Alright, we'll take a quick break here for some chats.
	Real quick.
	Yeah.
	Do we got a bunch?
	We got quite a few.
	Okay.
	Fresh.
	60MinuteMan says, hey FNF, saw the first minutes of your Crowder stream.
	Bum, they have to move it to the Mug Club.
	Yeah, man, it was a good stream, bro.
	I'll go check it out further.
	CEO of Nate says, bought Ty's SMMA program for $27 five years ago.
	And last month I surpassed my $1,000 million generated through ad agency at 50k MMR. Thank you, Ty.
	Hope to connect with you someday.
	What's up?
	It's awesome, man.
	See, he dropped out of the machine.
	He made his own machine, man.
	He invested in himself as well in his future.
	He invested in himself.
	Vierce Laird says, Let's go, Big Boston.
	City Network, Tai Lopez, was my first online mentor whose content I followed in 2016.
	when I first got into self-improvement, love this guy.
	Damn.
	What's up, man?
	Kind of for me to read here.
	And then we'll read, from this point forward, we'll read 50 and up, guys.
	But we'll read these ones that came in.
	WStream on Lotto or Crowder today.
	We'd love to see Crowder on a panel with a Change My Mind debate format.
	Yeah, we're going to get him out here to Miami at some point, guys.
	All right.
	And then we got here, Mosh goes, follow through and listening to Ty since middle school, WOG Social Club and WCO Network.
	Shout out to you, my friend.
	60 Minutes Man goes, hey, Ryan, I want to do street interviews about them boys.
	from 2020 advice, we'll post on Rumble.
	I wouldn't do that.
	Don't do that, bro.
	Learn from us.
	WStream, a lot of Crowder this morning.
	When can we expect Crowder on an after-hours panel?
	Eventually, in the future, when he comes out here.
	Yeah.
	He's very busy.
	Again, Schopenhauer said a woman's brain doesn't develop from a child's mind.
	Misogyny?
	Okay.
	I think he means misogyny.
	Kingpin.
	Ty introduced me to Sam Ovens and the consulting accelerator that changed my life and helped me to form my agency called Dominate Tech.
	Shout out to you, bro.
	On Broken Mindset goes, hey, fresh and fit.
	I'm 19.
	I've been a fan for a couple years now.
	I just started college pursuing a degree in finance.
	What are your thoughts on this degree?
	Is it worth it or not?
	Ty, I'll turn it to you.
	What do you think?
	Degree in finance.
	Uh, probably not unless you go, if you go to an elite school, it's worth it just for the social network.
	It's just the networking.
	So if you get in Harvard, shit, Asusa Pacific College.
	I got off the plane once in LA. I saw a billboard.
	Asusa Pacific College.
	If you're going to Asusa Pacific College, it's $44,000 a year.
	You might as well burn that fucking money in four years of your life.
	So most finance degrees are stupid.
	I don't, I stopped, I hire people.
	I had 17,000 people applying one month to work for me.
	You think I look at, Degrees?
	No.
	I go, what the fuck have you done?
	Show me something.
	Experience.
	Yeah, you get somebody who's like, yo, Ty, I followed you and I built a million dollar agency.
	I'm 17.
	I'm like, I want you.
	I got lucky.
	My second mentor is this guy, Alan Nation.
	He wrote a magazine called Stockman Grass Farmer.
	He was an agricultural expert.
	But I was going to NC State.
	I went for one quarter.
	Then I didn't have the money.
	It was $1,000 for textbooks.
	I remember being like, I was still living in his mobile home.
	I was like, who the fuck has a thousand dollars?
	So I got lucky and I dropped out of NC State.
	But even before then, Alan Nation said, Ty, why are you going to NC State?
	And I said, well, people respect you if you have a degree.
	And he said, no, this is America.
	Make a million dollars.
	It was like, America is that place where you can be a gutter dude, you make money.
	And people open the door.
	That's the one good thing versus like Europe.
	Europe's still going on family names.
	The one bad thing about Stockholm, Sweden, I love Sweden, Denmark, they still going on last names.
	America doesn't care about last.
	There's no, very little loyalty.
	What's a big royalty in last names?
	Other countries are still running off last names.
	So America, I don't even love half of America.
	I have a love-hate relationship.
	The one thing I love about America, Don't show me your resume.
	I don't give a shit that you went to Sousa.
	In fact, if you show me you went to Sousa Pacific College and dropped $44,000 a year for four years, I'm like, you have no critical thinking skills.
	You're fucking out the door.
	I don't care if you went to Harvard, but show me what you did.
	It's interesting that you mentioned that college back in 2013 that it was a scam.
	Because I remember, I'm 33 now, but I went to college, I graduated, got my degree.
	But they were pushing you to go to college really hard in the 2000s, 2010, 2013, etc.
	It wasn't really until social media started blowing up and influencers became a thing and people realized they could make money.
	Yes.
	You can build a personal brand that they realize, whoa, college is a scam.
	And now everyone, 10 years later, you went viral for saying, yo, don't go to college.
	It's a scam.
	Everyone, you know, trying to run you up the flagpole.
	But now people are saying, yeah, college is a scam.
	Oh, I was having a big...
	I remember having Twitter battles back when Twitter was before with like Tim Ferriss.
	And I was saying all this stuff and I was like, Let's do the math.
	Because people always say, no, Ty, let me show you a scientific report that shows that boys or women who go to college end up with higher income.
	But you're not controlling for the fact that they're richer kids to start with.
	Yeah.
	So what you're seeing, that extra million dollars, is because mommy and daddy help them with their first business after they graduate college.
	You gotta control...
	Now, Peter Thiel, who was the business partner of Elon Musk, they built PayPal together.
	There was something called the PayPal Mafia.
	There was about 12 guys.
	There was Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Ken Howery, a friend of mine.
	These are the guys that...
	Form PayPal.
	They sold it for billions.
	Elon made $130 million, I think.
	Peter Thiel started paying people.
	He said, not only do I think you don't need to go to college, but I'm going to take like 20 kids, I'll pay them 100 G's not to go to college.
	One of those kids...
	Said, okay, I'll take your 100 grand, Peter.
	And he went and he started a little business and he wrote some code and he built something called Ethereum.
	That's Vitalik.
	Oh, wow.
	He was paid.
	And did that work out for him?
	He's fucking richer than every kid who got a finance degree.
	So even university is hypocritical.
	My cousin is now a medical doctor.
	He went through UCLA. He...
	Did like four years, five years in a classroom.
	And then he's been in residency for eight years where you shadow a mentor while he does stuff.
	Make nothing.
	Yeah, but you do nothing.
	But I'm saying he learned not about classroom.
	You don't make a lot of money either in that time.
	Residency.
	You know what gets me about this whole college thing?
	Your own teachers haven't done the work themselves.
	Exactly.
	They teach you how to do the work.
	No business.
	They're probably broke driving a Toyota Corolla.
	I don't want to learn from you.
	And I want to say this too as a college graduate.
	Like, you know, I tell people, because I get this question so much, especially now with young guys, oh, do you want to go to college, etc.?
	I tell them, look, man, just exactly what I agree 100%.
	If you're not pursuing, if you don't want to be a doctor or a lawyer, something that requires a degree that will create a high-income skill for you, don't even bother going.
	It's not worth it, because you can make money doing other things.
	You can get into trades.
	You can be a plumber.
	You can be an electrician.
	You can make that same money without incurring all that debt.
	It's ridiculous, and college is, I would say, for a majority of people, it's absolutely a scam, man.
	And then another thing you mentioned about the Ivy Leagues and stuff like that, unless you're going to an Ivy League school, etc.
	But a lot of times, it's not necessarily that, oh my god, I got this degree that gets you the money.
	It's that you have that network.
	The reason why Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, all these Ivy League schools are so big is because they have a mafia once you graduate that will ensure that you get a job.
	So if you get accepted by an Ivy League, Yeah, and on top of that, Harvard has financial aid based on how much your family earns, and it gives you way more than the FAFSA. So most of their kids get their college paid for it for free because they have so much endowment money.
	So if you can go to get into an Ivy League school, for sure, do it because there's going to be a network to hook you up with a job after the fact.
	But if not, dude, most colleges are a scam.
	What else do we got here, man?
	We ain't shitting on doctors.
	There should be doctors.
	Absolutely.
	But I still drop out of the system.
	It doesn't mean we're...
	You need medical doctors.
	The question is, what's the most efficient way to build talent?
	This AI thing, you are sleeping on that.
	AI is going to be doing all your surgery soon.
	Wow.
	I mean, be careful about this AI thing.
	Look at the movies.
	It's happening now.
	Okay, we got who next?
	Mr...
	He goes, hey fellas, if you had no game but wanted to learn it overseas instead of the West, what would be your, uh, what was it?
	Approach.
	Approach, okay.
	Where would you travel to and who would you learn from?
	Thanks, dogs.
	Okay, so you want to learn game and it's overseas.
	What should be your approach and who should you learn from?
	He could read Mystery's book, right?
	I think that could work over there as well.
	I mean, it depends on where you want to go.
	But in general, like we talked about before, you have to have attraction triggers that women look for in men.
	And I think Mystery had seven of them, being a leader of men.
	Obviously, income, status, all these things, being a...
	A caretaker of others having to be taking care of your loved ones so like Regardless of where you go.
	I've always said like, you know If you're gonna go to like third world whatever you're gonna go to Thailand in these places You still have to have some understanding of female nature Because what it allows you to do when you go to poor countries in American is allows you to fuck up more without necessarily dealing with consequences Yeah, right because the sexual marketplace is more in your favor You have higher status there so you can get away with more mistakes I think the game is a game no matter where you go, but each country has its own set of laws you want to learn as well.
	For example, let's go to Colombia.
	The culture is over there.
	If you're American, if you're of another place, you might have a status just because you're American.
	So knowing that could help your game as well, but what would you say?
	Yeah, it's all horses for courses.
	What kind of racehorse are you looking for?
	You got to go to the right race course.
	So like Latin America has its own vibe.
	Like if you're looking for a very family oriented, you know, Latin's a thick market for that.
	If you're looking for more intellectual, you know, Europe is a more intellectual place.
	Asia, I was just in Kuala Lumpur.
	Asia is very similar to like Latin America.
	It's kind of like family-oriented.
	I was in Kuala Lumpur speaking at this nomad capitalist thing.
	So yeah, you gotta know what you want.
	I mean, I even find Canada sometimes has pretty chill people.
	The thing about America, you're better off, if you're looking for long-term mating, in the middle of America.
	You're better off.
	Midwest.
	And it's actually, Dr.
	Helen Fisher, one of my mentors, I told you she's the chief scientist for Match and Tinder.
	Yeah.
	Higher levels of serotonin.
	So you've got to chase serotonin because high dopamine place, women and men with high dopamine, they need novelty all the time.
	So they're more likely to cheat.
	So if you're looking for a long-term mate, you're looking for a place where it's not a dopamine.
	So bigger cities are tougher.
	Miami will be tougher.
	A lot of dopamine women.
	So you get that beauty, but there'll be high dopamine.
	So if you're looking for like who you could have a kid with, you need to go to a part of...
	The world where it's high serotonin.
	High serotonin, high oxytocin is another thing.
	Higher estrogen.
	Midwest of the U.S. has that.
	Like Chicago would be a good city.
	Now, the problem with the Midwest in America is you've got to deal with the horrible food system.
	I mean, people are becoming three different people.
	I was like, which one am I talking to?
	So be careful.
	That's the good thing.
	You can find high serotonin, high oxytocin in other countries and still keep the beauty.
	See, I didn't want to give that tip away, but yes, Midwestern girls, absolutely.
	That's kind of something I've kept in the back of my mind that I've never really disclosed, but yeah, anytime I've ever talked to girls and I'm like, okay, this girl has girlfriend potential nine out of ten times, dude, they're from the fucking Midwest.
	You know what I mean?
	Major cities, red flag.
	You want a girl who's visiting Miami with her family?
	Yeah, there you go.
	That's good.
	Or it's like a family reunion in Miami, or they're going to a game.
	She just got here from the Midwest.
	Yeah, but even that, that's a higher...
	I like them that day.
	Just, oh, I don't even like it in Miami.
	My uncle is having his wedding here, so I came.
	That's the magic words, man.
	Yeah, man.
	Because a chick had moved to Miami, and she's like...
	I'm here.
	I'm gonna make some money off the...
	Dude, you know where crypto money went?
	You know where all the money in crypto went?
	7.
	What's that?
	Or 11.
	What's that fucking...
	11!
	There was one chick, I'm sure, just running game on dudes like, you got that crypto, and you know...
	We had girls on the show that literally said, I was at 11 partying with some crypto guys, and they paid us to hang out with them.
	To stay!
	Yeah, because crypto...
	You know the good thing about crypto is you can send it...
	Instantly, you get sent on a Sunday when bank wires are closed, but you can't get this shit back.
	So dudes were all getting drunk, and some chick's like, yo, I got a single, I'm a single mom, I got my kid at home, and like, I'm gonna lose the condo.
	$250,000!
	Let me send you a couple.
	And then you know what?
	That woman sold that same condo 40 times that night.
	There was a girl who made a million bucks.
	I went in that 11 place one.
	I said, shit, don't go to those places, man.
	You know what?
	Don't go to those 11.
	Those women...
	Now, if you're trying to hire a sales team, when I was there, I'm like, I'm putting these women on my sales floor.
	They're fucking selling the house 48 times in one night.
	I mean, it's insane.
	And crypto dudes, oh, you talk about dudes not good with women.
	Yeah, terrible.
	Very bad.
	They make the Forbes list guys look good.
	They make Amber Heard lovers look good at women.
	Sir says, I live in a small city where I don't have access to a co-working space.
	What are your thoughts about virtual co-working?
	Can you still get the benefits of surrounding yourself with high-value people?
	What are your thoughts on cafes?
	Thanks.
	What a chance that I win.
	So, for men, when you try to make money, you need to pop through a city.
	You need to have, like, ideally two places.
	Cities are good for the specifically rubbing shoulders.
	So, if you're living in the middle of buttfuck nowhere and you're working from home, you're missing out on the networking.
	So, you can keep that place virtual if you're an introvert, but you need to spend 50% of your time in a major area where...
	I don't even like New York City.
	I'm going to New York City tomorrow for me.
	I hate it.
	But you gotta go.
	But that place has real and smart mentors.
	Like, I got a mentor.
	He was, like, Carl Icahn's former lawyer.
	These guys bought the world.
	Like, you learn from a 70-year-old dude.
	You're not gonna meet that guy in your, you know, virtual working space in whatever, Woodstock, Idaho.
	You know what I mean?
	So, you gotta move.
	If you have no money...
	There's a weird thing in America called a Greyhound bus.
	For like $7, you can go anywhere in America.
	It might take you 63 hours, but like if you were broke, go down to Greyhound, catch a bus to a big city, you know, and then catch a bus home in a month.
	I like that.
	Change your environment.
	Yeah.
	Hell yeah.
	To where the money is.
	Okay.
	We have here...
	Yo, what up Myron?
	What up Fresh?
	My boy used to lead with the wallet to get boxes.
	He was smashed.
	He stopped and got a shorty now, but he's scared that she will find out.
	What would you do?
	How would you find out?
	Is that the code?
	Just be quiet.
	He'd be with the wallet so he'd use money to get women by tricking on girls and paying them for sex and stuff.
	He should have did that by me.
	It's too late now.
	Yeah, that's L. Yeah.
	Okay.
	We have here, Brian says, Hi FNF. Much love and appreciation for what you guys do for us.
	Myron, I was seeking one-on-one help with starting to invest in real estate, but you never hit me back on Instagram.
	And yes, I sent consult as message.
	I'm in NYCT. Just want to change my life around no matter the cost.
	Send it again in all caps, but I'm not cheap man for a consult.
	Speaking of which, what are your thoughts on real estate?
	Yeah.
	Five assets to build wealth.
	Software, brand, land, cash, crypto.
	Those are the five.
	Software.
	By the way, this is a software business because you're online.
	By software, I mean at least online.
	80% of the top 10 wealthiest people in the world right now made it in software.
	Software, brand.
	Don't forget brand.
	It's not enough that corporate brands are going to disappear.
	Microsoft lost to Apple because Apple had Steve Jobs' face on it.
	And a personal brand.
	So software, you build a personal brand.
	And you reinvest profit in land.
	I like to make my money online and reinvest.
	I buy farmland.
	Mark Twain said buy land.
	They ain't making any more of it.
	And you saw that in the damn COVID thing.
	I was living in Europe.
	Whole Foods didn't have eggs for two weeks.
	Two weeks in London.
	The supply chain of food is thin in this world.
	So I like to have farmland.
	But you can do, you know, Grant Cardone, a friend of mine, he buys 5-10,000 apartment units.
	He has 5-10,000 doors.
	I have a mentor made a billion dollars in mobile homes.
	It's a lot of money in mobile homes, man.
	They call them pads.
	He had 10,000 pads, they call them, what you control.
	I know a guy, a clever investor friend of mine, he teaches people to flip single-family homes.
	So real estate, the thing I like, the good and bad about real estate, you're not going to get crazy asymmetrical returns.
	So asymmetrical returns means you put this much money in, you get that much.
	That happens from like software, crypto.
	But crypto, remember, is software.
	But real estate, slow and steady, less chance to go down.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	And then, Ty, I guess, from this question here, what do you say he said?
	What was the last one?
	I saw somebody who was in my 67 Steps.
	Ty, I recommend everyone listen to The 67th Test by Ty Lopez.
	Absolutely genius and reshape many important frameworks.
	Thank you.
	Mentorship.
	Yes.
	Do you take on mentees right now or no?
	I have a private...
	Some of the biggest names that you all know is in my page.
	I have a program people pay me like $100,000 to a million.
	I just give my WhatsApp.
	So some of the big boys that you all talk about all the time, but I don't...
	Some of them don't want me to.
	Right.
	Of course, of course.
	There's a lot of egos in personal brands.
	Like, Ty, help me, but don't fucking tell anybody you're helping me, which is cool.
	That's whatever.
	Men have egos.
	It's all right.
	But I have one that's a little bit less expensive, but yes, you must find, I call it a five mentor rule.
	You can have two books.
	People sometimes argue, Ty, you don't need books.
	I'm like, bitch, the smartest people are dead.
	How the fuck?
	Of course I'd rather have Einstein as a mentor.
	I'd rather have Stephen Hawking as a mentor, but if you haven't noticed, he's not on planet Earth anymore.
	So I'm going to read his book, Brief History of Time.
	So you need five mentors in your life around making money.
	Two of them can be historical figures.
	You read books.
	One or two can be, you know, a podcast like this or YouTube.
	But you need at least two people you're shadowing.
	You know, I try to go shadow Tillman Fertitta once a year.
	He's running a $7 billion empire, you know, the rockets, all this kind of stuff.
	I gotta be around him.
	I wanna see how the man walks, talks.
	How does he handle conflict?
	How does he keep his posture up?
	How does he dress?
	All these intangibles.
	No professor at a Harvard MBA is gonna teach you the intangibles.
	So you need to shadow somebody.
	You can, I have some programs on TaiLopez.com.
	You know, I think, it sounds like you got some programs.
	But get yourself, and over time, over your life, it's kind of like, the President of the United States has 15 advisors.
	We call them the cabinet.
	You've got to be the general, the president of your own life.
	So over time, you assemble more and more of these people, you know, I've assembled, and you can call on them from time to time.
	So you really, you know, I like Ferraris and Lambos and collecting that stuff, but really you want to collect mentors.
	Yeah, you know that show, what's the one where you can phone in, dial up?
	Oh, for the answers?
	Yeah, a millionaire.
	Shit, I got in this phone right here is a valuable phone.
	I can call in a favor.
	Maybe I only call it in every three years.
	I'm like, dude, I need this.
	I need that.
	And so that comes from mentors.
	And you know the crazy thing?
	Successful people want to help people.
	That are respectful, you know what I mean?
	It's not always...
	I paid $250,000 to have dinner with Steve Ballmer.
	That was pay to play.
	What did you call it?
	You put the wallet for the box.
	The connection.
	The wallet for the box.
	It wasn't about that kind of meeting.
	By the way, he didn't want the money.
	I had to give it to his charity when he owns the Clippers.
	But that was worth it.
	I didn't ask him questions like how to launch a website and build an online funnel.
	I already know that.
	I asked him hard questions like how do you know whether to sell a company or keep it?
	How did you raise your kids?
	He was the CEO of Microsoft for 20 years.
	He was a businessman in the world for 20 years.
	And he has a great relationship with his kids.
	I was like, how'd you do that, man?
	And he told me, you know what he told me?
	He said, I used Google, I used Excel spreadsheets to make sure I spent time with my son.
	And by the way, I invented Excel spreadsheets.
	I thought that was pretty badass.
	That's an OG where you're like, yo, man.
	I gotta ask you this.
	So you acquired Pier 1 Imports, right?
	And...
	You know, you obviously saw some value in it.
	And I've always said that, you know, I think, you know, brick and mortar businesses, you know, it's going to be tough for them in the next 10 to 15, 20 years.
	What influenced that decision?
	And are you kind of like, are you going to rebrand it?
	What's the direction?
	Yeah, bring everything online.
	Bring everything online.
	So a great little business, you find somebody.
	You can do this on a small.
	I've done it on a bigger scale.
	You can do it on a small scale.
	You find some little business.
	I had a friend, Nate Broughton, I think I can say his name, in San Diego.
	He bought a fence company.
	An old man was retiring.
	He had a fence company.
	He would put in landscaping fences.
	But he had no online business.
	He didn't use email marketing to keep up with his customer.
	My friend said, I'll buy your business from you, but before I buy it, let me install email marketing.
	All the extra money you make per year, give me like half of it.
	So he's like, you've been making five.
	He's like, how much you've been making every year?
	About five million.
	He said, I'm just going to do your online part of your old school business.
	Yeah.
	Shit, my friend was pulling out millions a year.
	Because that old dude was like, it's all new money, I'll give you half of it.
	So taking old school shit and making it new is smart.
	So you saw like, okay, people want this.
	Women are always going to want to buy random trinkets for the house, etc.
	They're the consumer base.
	But we need to move it online so that we can compete with Amazon.
	Yeah, because once COVID came, you can see the power.
	Like supply chain can just shut down.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So it's like whatever bit you saw restaurants actually, you know, that old saying is so true.
	It's like Nietzsche said, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
	And for anybody listening, you got a shitty life right now.
	I got good news and bad news for you.
	The good news is what Nietzsche was right.
	What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
	Although I will say, I think I don't want to say I'm smarter than Nietzsche because he may be the smartest man in the last 200 years.
	But What doesn't kill you can make you smarter if you let it.
	It can make you stronger.
	Because oftentimes, tough times kill men.
	Men just disappear.
	They either literally kill themselves or they just give up.
	So if you're in a tough place, and we saw this the whole world kind of being fucked up in 2020-21, my advice to you is ask yourself every day, What can I take out of this that would make this the greatest moment in my life?
	And you start retweaking your brain.
	When I was sleeping on a couch with $47 on my bank account, I remember thinking, because I had dropped out of society, I had just come back from the Amish.
	I had no skills, no car, no money.
	I didn't even have a suit to get a job.
	And I remember thinking, life's over for me.
	And then I read this Tony Robbins book, The Real OG of Self-Improving.
	People call me the OG. I'm like, Tony Robbins, he's not so much online.
	But he had this book, he said, When you succeed, you party.
	When you fail, you ponder.
	And all greatness comes out of pondering.
	So failure is actually the moment, but you have to let it work.
	So for me, when COVID came and was shutting down businesses, I said, how can this become the greatest moment in time?
	And that's to take it from a brick and mortar online.
	Some of you are dying.
	When I read that in the news, I was like, holy shit.
	You know what I mean?
	I was like, this guy's a marketing genius.
	There's a reason why you're so successful.
	When you picked up Heroin Imports, I was like, ah, that's something that people are always going to want, but it's going to be tough to run it from a brick-and-mortar position.
	Let's take it online.
	I was like, wow.
	But what does Tite have?
	Knowledge!
	Yeah.
	Knowledge.
	Real quick, I gotta mention this because this is very important.
	You mentioned before gathering people to a common cause and having to be a leader, right?
	So I'm in a network called SEO Network, as you can see here.
	And Ray is a part of that network as well.
	Yes.
	And without Ray, you wouldn't be here right now.
	Correct.
	So through Ray, networking in, was it Montreal?
	You guys are at?
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	He met you, and he brought you to me, and we connected.
	So just having that network, people, is important.
	So shout out to Ray, man, by the way, on the couch.
	Yes, thank you, Ray.
	Shout out to you, Ray.
	Hey, man, it's not what you know, it's who you know.
	That's that old cliche.
	That thing is true, boy.
	That's how Harvard gets people to their jobs.
	Exactly.
	Literally, that's how it operates, man.
	Who you know is really a thing.
	I can't tell you how many times someone that's less qualified will get a job because they know the right guy.
	That's right.
	Networking, baby.
	That's what it comes down to.
	For sure.
	Alright, last couple here, then we got the girls.
	Yeah.
	Cool.
	Can we forget the girls?
	They're here, waiting.
	Okay.
	We forgot the girls!
	I'm reading unscripted, as you suggested, in a stream, yeah, for Life 2.
	Can you give me five more books to read?
	I finally found what motivates everyone.
	Thank you.
	So you mentioned the first book.
	Yes.
	Because I suggested unscripted by MJ DeMarco.
	I said it was a good one.
	I gotta read that one.
	Some more insanely good books.
	Civilization is discontent.
	For those of you who think you're smart, the original Sigmund Freud stuff.
	I know a lot of people think Sigmund Freud.
	It's so funny.
	People think Sigmund Freud is dumb.
	I'm like, this motherfucker.
	Of all the people I've ever read in history from Aristotle, Socrates, Confucius, Sigmund Freud, when he wasn't doing cocaine...
	Was the smartest dude out there.
	Anyway, he wrote a book.
	It was a small pamphlet.
	It's called Civilization is Discontent.
	You just have to read the second chapter.
	The second chapter is the greatest seven pages probably ever written in history.
	Wow.
	Another good guy to read, I was telling people in 2013, read Will Durant, read Will Durant, read Will Durant.
	2019, that was one of the first things when Elon started getting public.
	He was like, everybody should read Will Durant.
	So Will Durant is maybe the wisest guy of the last 200 years.
	He wrote a book called The Story.
	He has a couple ones.
	He has a really 10,000-page book.
	I don't recommend you start with that, The Story of Civilization.
	He has a shorter one.
	I think it's called A Story of History.
	The guy is so mind-blowingly intelligent that it's just wild.
	So in terms of practical business books, my mentor, Tillman Fertitta, wrote a practical book called Shut Up and Listen.
	It's a good practical one, like how to know your numbers, how to build businesses.
	So Shut Up and Listen is a great one.
	Another book, there's a book called Contagious.
	Okay, it's by one of my mentors.
	Contagious, it is about how to make things go viral.
	And if you want to build a personal brand, you have to be good at that.
	He has like the elements of virality.
	Another great book is Willpower, another mentor of mine.
	He wrote the science of like how to be a disciplined person.
	And men are weak now.
	You know, men are weak.
	I see people come work for me.
	They got all this ambition.
	I'm going to learn from him.
	I'm going to learn from him.
	One weekend, all that willpower is gone.
	So you have to understand how, for example, your willpower is lower when you've been awake a long time.
	So fucking go to bed.
	You know, like some dudes are like, ah, I'm jerking off the Pornhub at 3 in the morning.
	I don't have much discipline.
	I'm like, it's too late.
	Go to bed, dude.
	Go to bed.
	And how do you do that?
	You need some dude who's mean in your life.
	Every man needs a mean man in his life.
	Mean, but fair.
	You know?
	You mentioned that now and then earlier in the interview too that people are just weak and they don't necessarily, they're lazy.
	What do you think has contributed to that in society?
	I think men, there's a lot of strong dudes now with modern science, physical strength, but weak-willed.
	I think, well, when my grandma was born in 1918, she died, rest a piece.
	I lived to 102.
	I'm half German.
	I'm half white and half Spanish.
	My white side, my German side...
	When she was born, about 90% of the world lived in rural areas, either villages or farms, and 10% lived in cities.
	When she died about 100 years later, the ratio flipped.
	So, like, I go to my farm, like, I mean, dude, you don't have any callus on your hand, man.
	It's like, how are you going to be tough?
	The toughest people, I lived with the Amish for two and a half years.
	There's not one weak-willed man there.
	You can tell a dude, look, man, my house is on fire.
	It's two in the morning.
	We got to work for two days.
	They're like, let's go.
	And so we have a lack of physicality outside of gyms.
	So one simple hack, if you live in a city, I've been doing mixed martial arts.
	I'm not a pro.
	I don't do it to win.
	Like, if you're a smart dude making money, don't let mofos hit you in the head.
	But I do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
	I do Muay Thai.
	I train, you know, with Higa Machado with the Gracies.
	One of my mentors, Horian Gracie, he founded the UFC. And you get a little tougher.
	You gotta get pounded in the ground every once in a while.
	Every dude's tough.
	You do a little Jiu-Jitsu, and you realize you never know who's tough.
	You get a little more respectful on the streets.
	You meet people who are like, bro, you've never been a Jiu-Jitsu thing.
	Because these guys are too cocky.
	So...
	You need literal physicality.
	And you need a mean man in your life.
	And because fathers have kind of disappeared from a lot of the modern world, kids grow up without the mean.
	You literally need...
	The best word is mean.
	Like, I was just watching this video with a big gorilla.
	Some dude, some dipshitty influencer went to Africa and walked in this little area with gorillas.
	Man, you see that big silverback where he hits his chest...
	So every boy growing up, you need a dude who hits his chest, you know what I mean?
	You need somebody...
	Like, my dad was an actual OG. Like, my dad was from Terminal Island.
	My dad had, like, bullet wounds and all that stuff.
	And I remember seeing other kids' dads, and people would talk back to their dad.
	I'm like, shit.
	People are like, you talk back to your dad?
	I'm like, no.
	Did your dad ever have to yell at you?
	No.
	Because my dad was a mean man, and so you just left him alone.
	And so society has poo-pooed all the mean men.
	Yeah.
	Now, don't get me wrong, you need yin and yang.
	I'm not a believer you want all society to be mean men.
	Women tend to have higher estrogen, higher estradiolids in the blood, and that makes you generally more sensitive, higher oxytocin.
	Sometimes it's the opposite, but in general.
	Men have low, testosterone makes you have low agreeableness.
	If you hold up your hand right here, I'll show you.
	Hold your hand.
	Are you right or left?
	Right.
	So put your fingers together like this.
	Let me see yours.
	Yeah, so both of you are relatively high testosterone men.
	That's not astrology.
	That's not the palm reading.
	It's called digit index ratio.
	This is in utero testosterone, literally when you're in the mother's womb.
	So you all have this finger longer than kind of your pointer.
	Yeah, the ring finger.
	Yeah, so men tend to have, if you look at, you can Google digit index ratio, there's a lot of good science.
	It's not perfect, but it's fairly accurate.
	Well, men in general have a hell of a lot more testosterone.
	I tested my blood one time and I was a 1200 total test.
	My cousin Maya got 30.
	And I told her the machine was broken.
	Call up the doctor.
	You got to do your blood test.
	The doctor's like, nope, that's kind of how men and women are.
	I have 40X. And one of the traits of high testosterone in men is being grumpier.
	The technical word on a Hexaco score is lower agreeableness.
	And so...
	You become weak-willed if you grow up without some low dudes who don't put up with shit.
	And so you get a pussier generation.
	Like I told you, Joel Salton, my first mentor, when he kicked the door off the hinges, I was like, I'm gonna wake up.
	This man may snap me in half.
	He never threatened me.
	He didn't have to.
	You see a display of physical strength and you're just like, well, farmer guys are big.
	They don't have big biceps.
	They have like...
	Big forearms.
	Oh, fuck yeah.
	I still have big forearms.
	Like people sometimes like...
	I'm like nothing.
	I have an Amish guy work for me.
	David Bontrager.
	I kid you not.
	His...
	Forearms are so fucking big that I brought Mark Cage.
	He's one of the elite trainers, like personal trainer from New York.
	I mean from LA. We get out to my farm and I had a hitch like a low boy trailer and I got a truck and we had to hitch it and it's heavy and it was kind of a different height.
	So I said, Mark, come over here, help me.
	And I had three of us.
	We all got under their squatted deadlift, put that hitch on the truck.
	The next morning, Mark Cage goes, die, die, die, die.
	You ain't gonna believe this.
	I said, what?
	He said, this morning, I saw David Bontrager go by himself, grab the thing with one arm and hitch the same thing that took off.
	He's like, who is this fucking guy?
	He said, this dude's been drinking raw milk from birth, baby.
	He ate at the Whole Foods.
	I see pasteurized, homogenized, pussified milk.
	I milk my own cow on my farm, too.
	Every man, get yourself a little milk cow.
	Y'all milking yourself too much.
	I gotta ask you this, and then we'll close it.
	I know we're running short for time here.
	What was it like, you know, because your story's about the Amish.
	They don't have electricity, etc.
	What was it like living with them?
	Do they just use candlelight all the time?
	No power, no internet, no nothing?
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, there's old order Amish, new order Amish, Schwartz and Troubert.
	There's all these different types that get more conservative.
	The Amish that I lived with was almost the most conservative.
	They came out of a park called Scottsville, Kentucky.
	They have different churches.
	And, oh, yeah.
	Dude, for two and a half years.
	No electricity.
	Two and a half years, I used the outhouse.
	Wow.
	It's funny.
	I go back to Sam Chubb's house, an Amish guy.
	They now allow, like, bathrooms, no electricity in, and I always walk out to the outhouse, and I'm like, you got a toilet in here.
	By the way, great life.
	Great life.
	You don't have to worry.
	It's simple.
	Hell yeah, man.
	That's why I said, look, you don't have to, not realistic that everybody can go to the, I learned their language when I was young.
	They speak their own dialect of German.
	It's called Pennsylvania Dutch.
	What you can do, go camping like once a quarter.
	Like, guys gotta go camp.
	It's not the same, but go camp.
	You can't always be tied to your phone.
	You can't always be tied.
	You gotta go back.
	There's a ruggedness that you need to make it in this game, you know?
	You gotta reset.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Last chat, so you're never gonna head out because we gotta go do the tech show.
	Okay.
	You want to do Rumble Rants, Chris, or you want to do these?
	These first.
	20 bucks and up.
	Okay, Anonymous says, started online personal training about two months ago.
	Currently I have two clients at $500 a month.
	Never took a course for it, just Instagram and my physique.
	Feel that everything else I took a course on.
	Courses are useless unless you're schooling or scaling your craft.
	Even Hawking's brief history of time and I'm not smart.
	Well, that's not how it works.
	It's not an instant conveyance.
	Don't blame.
	Don't blame the teacher.
	Now, with that said, once in a while, and this is possible, you're listening to people that don't have credentials.
	So, if my grandma needed open heart surgery, I'm not walking up to anybody that wants to volunteer.
	I'm like, have you done 500?
	So, if you're doing online personal training, why don't you find some books?
	Minor and fresh, can you get?
	I know RL on the pod.
	Who's that?
	I don't know.
	Y'all are the kings of giving us people that we like.
	Y'all always give us names of people we don't know, man.
	People are like looking at things.
	People are like, can you get cord microphone on this thing?
	Whatever they see in front of them, can you get anything?
	That's why, so thank you.
	But you know what, bro, we'll look into it.
	Mo, can you search that name?
	What's up?
	I have 10k saved working as a diesel mechanic making around $1,300 weekly.
	I want to invest in real estate.
	I'm 18 years old.
	What's my next step?
	Risk and make the move.
	Y'all mentor.
	You need to make more money, my friend.
	And getting into real estate, you're going to need some more capital.
	I mean, your first property you can definitely get with an FHA loan, but I would say you're going to need more than 10k.
	You need reserves as well.
	And you're going to need reserves as well.
	Sales.
	Get a commission sales job.
	Quickest way to make your first 10 to 50 grand a month?
	Sell shit.
	Yeah.
	Sorry, real quick.
	Top three businesses you can do to make money now, 2023.
	If you're homeless but you're healthy, you go into commission sales because it has no cap.
	You're not going to get a promotion, enough of a promotion to ever save any money.
	So you go where uncapped, you can make no money or you can make a lot.
	Sell something that's relatively high ticket.
	Sell something that's $10,000 minimum that you'll get at least 10% to 20% commission.
	Like cars?
	Yeah.
	Cars is a grind, but it does make people money.
	I'd go into insurance before I'd go into cars.
	I went into life insurance.
	I didn't even realize.
	I was just naive.
	I went into the game of sales.
	My uncle goes, Todd, you could sell, because I was broke.
	He was the only guy I'd ever met who made $100,000.
	I had one person in my family who made $100,000.
	I said, Uncle Bill, what should I do?
	He said, sell cars or sell insurance?
	And I knew he sold cars, and he worked like $17,000.
	I was like, I ain't doing that.
	So I sold life insurance, which...
	In the first month, I opened a deal.
	I was splitting it with a more experienced guy.
	It was a $150,000 commission.
	Wow.
	I was like, my God.
	Asymmetrical return.
	So sell something relative.
	You can sell home improvement.
	You can get a real estate.
	I don't love being a real estate agent.
	A real estate agent is a tricky one.
	If you're really good at sales, you can make money.
	But I wouldn't recommend to start there.
	But if you love real estate...
	That could be, if you see yourself as- I think he wants to invest is what he wanted to do.
	But only a 10k loan.
	Yeah, he only had 10k cash.
	Oh, he wanted 10k to buy that.
	He needs more money, yeah.
	He needs more money.
	Well, you need to be going to Malaysia.
	Kuala Lumpur, you could buy yourself a house for 10 Gs.
	Okay, so Mo just sent me who the YouTuber is.
	I know, Irel.
	He does like those loyalty tests.
	So, cool.
	All right, time a copywriter and drop shipper.
	What's the most effective types of free value and outreach to create for potential copy clients?
	How to raise click-through and conversion rates through paid TikTok ads?
	Oh yeah, it was the most effective times of free value.
	Man, basically, the way to get clients in terms of like my SMMA or you're doing copywriter, you have to assume the sale.
	I always say, I teach my sales guys just three things that close all deals.
	Three.
	That's it.
	Number one, know how to read the person.
	Number two, adjust to their personality.
	If you're what kind of a quiet person, you don't want to scream at them, right?
	So read the personality, number two, and then number three, assume the sale.
	So if you're a copywriter, you've already written some copy for the business.
	You're already doing some marketing.
	I already got a Facebook campaign.
	I already built.
	I heard this guy, I don't know if it's true, or if it was a cat, but this guy was on TikTok saying, what I do, I pay people in the Philippines to build a complete website for lawyers, I think it was.
	Then I present it that it's already built, and I show them how mine's so much better than theirs, and then I say, do you want me to unlock it for you?
	It's a thousand bucks.
	So he already assumed the sale.
	What most people do is come in and go, uh, uh, bet on me.
	I'll build a website.
	I haven't done it yet.
	Shit.
	People want to see it.
	That's true.
	Assume the sale.
	We need one too.
	Yep.
	Right now.
	Um, let's see here.
	Last two here?
	Yep.
	That was it?
	That was it?
	Yep.
	That was it.
	Cool.
	Ty, this is an awesome podcast.
	I hope I was alright.
	I have more questions too, but we gotta go to the next show.
	We ended up starting late, and we were traveling today, but we'll definitely have some conversations.
	We'll do a part two interview, I think.
	We should definitely do one.
	Should I stay for this next one too?
	Definitely.
	With the girls, man.
	Yeah, man, with the ladies.
	Yeah, 10 girls.
	Where can they find you?
	TaiLopez.com.
	I got a new quiz coming out.
	In about a week, you go to TaiLopez.com.
	I made these new psychometric quizzes.
	With some help from Dr.
	Buss and stuff, it'll tell you your career archetype.
	That's what's missing.
	People go to school, nobody tells you based on your personality what's the best career archetype.
	There's 16 personalities bullshit.
	Tell people there should be a fucking campaigner.
	What the fuck is that?
	I got a real, actual...
	I was just one of the girls that was on your show.
	I know her.
	Riss?
	Yeah.
	I was just out at dinner and I had her take my quiz.
	And that shit showed her.
	You know what she was scored highest in?
	What?
	Being a marketer.
	And she's a damn good personal brand.
	I saw her.
	She's doing pretty good as well.
	Surprising.
	She's doing well.
	So you got to know your career archetype.
	TyLopez.com.
	I'll have it up in about a week.
	I'll have the link.
	Yeah.
	No, David Buss, man.
	Great work.
	They asked for him a bunch of times to come on the show.
	We got to bring him on as well.
	And Ty, I got to say this, man.
	You were a great guest.
	Obviously speaking, we look up to you as well.
	And we wish you the best, brother.
	Thank you.
	Part two coming with some lovely ladies, guys, and Ty Lopez.
	Stay tuned.
	We'll be on in a little bit.
	I like this guy.
