	Thank you.

	What's up guys?
	Welcome to Freshier Podcast of Money Monday.
	We're with Paul Alex and the crew from ATM together.
	Let's get into it!
	Let's go.
	Especially if you need to get in there because we're going to be giving the announcement over there.
	We're going to announce it here, but for the serious guys, we're going to talk about it there.
	And we're going to have a Zoom call as well so you guys can have an open Q&A and learn how to make money passively.
	Also, Rumble.com slash FreshFade.
	As you guys know, that is the home base for us.
	We'll live on YouTube and Rumble and everything else like that.
	But if we ever get canceled, you know exactly where to find us.
	Rumble.com slash Fresher Fit and Cows Club is the place to be.
	We got 13 guys identified as generals in major cities in the United States, guys.
	Let's go!
	I had that discussion with a couple of my guys yesterday, DL Saint and Jocasta.
	Shout out to you guys, helping out behind the scenes.
	We'll probably have a Zoom call this week and we will go ahead and introduce you to these guys.
	We got a couple cities, major cities in the U.S. that they're going to be running and you guys will be able to create groups in there and you'll be able to network.
	So, your network is your network.
	But without further ado, we got two special guests in the house.
	Welcome back to the show, my friends.
	Hello!
	Go ahead, man.
	Introduce yourself to the people that may not know.
	We know who you are, but...
	What's up, boys?
	Hey, guys.
	This is Paul Alex.
	I'm a serial entrepreneur, former detective out of Oakland, a city of Oakland in California.
	Now I'm over here in Miami.
	Dude, beautiful weather, beautiful people, beautiful cars, excellent Peruvian food.
	You made the right choice.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	I'm half-proofing and yeah, I did make the right choice.
	I'm flying my mom out here fucking like every month, bro, because she just loves it out here.
	It's paradise.
	It's paradise, bro.
	It is.
	It truly is.
	Plus, you're not dealing with all the bullshit like in California, you know what I'm saying?
	But anyways, besides that, I brought one of my newest executives.
	He actually is the youngest CEO out of the three companies I'm currently running.
	If you guys have been following me on IG, Paul Alex, I'm a serial entrepreneur that does a lot of startups.
	So I do startups, and then I hire smarter people than me to go ahead and run them.
	And this kid, he's just blown me out the water, bro.
	Wow.
	He was a mentee for three years, started with ATMs together, became financially free with ATMs.
	And then he came to me and was just like, hey, bro, can I learn digital marketing?
	And at that time, dude, we were doing like a million a month.
	And I was just like, yeah.
	No worries.
	Because here's the thing.
	A lot of people, they think, oh, why are you creating competition for yourself?
	But here's the thing.
	Why do people buy you guys?
	Because it's you.
	So at the end of the day, nobody can copy my story.
	Nobody can copy your story.
	Nobody can copy your story.
	So at the end of the day, when it comes down to it, yeah, I'm known as the ATM guy.
	That was my humble beginnings.
	But he has humble beginnings, too.
	And his story is fire.
	It's going to give you a teary eye, bro.
	But yeah, go ahead, bro.
	What's up, everybody?
	My name is Juan Geronimo.
	I'm 26 years old.
	I'm based out of Dallas, Texas.
	And, you know, just like Paul says, I was working 9 to 5, just like anyone else.
	You know, I started out in the oil fields of West Texas.
	And, you know, this was four years ago, by the way.
	This was back in, like, 2019.
	You know, and I... Just like anyone else, wanted to look for another way to generate passive income, be an entrepreneur, work for myself, right?
	That was the goal.
	So I started looking into entrepreneurship, followed guys like Paul, my other mentor, Mike St.
	Dunn, who's our processor currently, and started picking up about the ATM business.
	And here I am, four and a half years later, with over 20 ATMs currently on location, making me $12,000 to $15,000 a month in residual income.
	What did you do before you got into the ATM business?
	Before I actually started, I was working in the oil field.
	I went from working in construction, pouring concrete in Dallas, Texas, to getting the opportunity to go out in Pecos, Texas, in the oil fields and get paid a lot more.
	I took that opportunity.
	I was young at the time.
	I was 20, 21 years old.
	No kids.
	I had my girlfriend at the time.
	Really, not a whole lot of responsibilities, right?
	So I was like, you know what?
	Let's do it.
	I went to the oil fields.
	I started making great money out there.
	You know, the only thing about it, though, was I was away from family because I was driving out seven hours.
	I was staying there for ten days, and I would only come back home for four, or essentially three, because the fourth day I was driving because it was a seven-hour drive, so I had to leave a day early just to get there for the next day of work.
	So, yeah, I was doing that probably for about a year, year and a half.
	Bro, this guy had kids when he was like 16 and shit, you know?
	I'm not trying to stereotype either.
	You know, it's just like with Latinos, you know, we automatically get pointed fingers.
	You're like, oh, you got probably like 20 kids and shit.
	I'm like, no, bro, that's not me.
	You're surprised when you're black men.
	You have no kids?
	You're different.
	Bro, that's just what it is.
	We've got super sperm.
	That's just what it is.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Hey, man, not me, bro.
	But question, this is a bit off tangent here, but during that career in the oil business, how many women are actually working back in there?
	In the oil fields?
	Yeah, how many women?
	Not a whole lot.
	You didn't see a whole lot of women out there.
	I wonder why.
	You know, at least in where I was, like, actually in the rig, you know.
	But, I mean, if you saw one, it was a bad, you know, she'll probably whoop your ass, you know?
	Oh, wow.
	They were tough, man.
	They were tough.
	Yeah, it's no joke out there.
	It was definitely, you know, tough.
	And, you know, me being, you know, 5'3", 5'4", you know, working in the oil fields, you know, I was hanging on and it was definitely...
	I look at it as a blessing because, you know, it taught me not only about hard work, but, you know, the sacrifice that all those people out there are actually, you know, taking, being away from the family, just to try to provide, you know, try to pay the bills, try to, you know, take care of the family at the end of the day.
	So you mentioned good money you're making in the oil fields.
	How much do you make now, roughly?
	Is it better than what you made before?
	Way better, way better, yeah.
	So, yeah, in the oil fields, I was making like, you know, $25 to $30 an hour, working, you know, 12 to 14 hour minimum days.
	I'm talking on the minimum, you know.
	I had a day where I actually worked 21 hours.
	As crazy as that sounds, we get up at 2, 3 in the morning, drive to the rigs, and we won't leave until like, you know, 3, not 3, sorry, like 11, 12 at night the next day and have to be up again at 6.
	So it was crazy out there.
	And although I was working that many hours and I was making, you know, 25, 30 bucks an hour, I started off at 25, but as I started to get experience, I started to kind of level up.
	I'm a hard worker, by the way, so I was putting it in the work.
	I was just trying to make some money, you know, I'm young.
	So, you know, I leveled up to like 30 bucks an hour and, you know, making, you know, a decent check, but nothing compared to what I'm making, of course, now as an entrepreneur.
	You were making probably like six figures a year, right?
	Correct.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And oil field work, guys, is very difficult.
	I lived in South Texas for a very long time.
	I was down in Laredo.
	And, yeah, it's not easy, guys.
	It's very difficult.
	Were you guys, like, in seasons?
	Or, like, where it would be, like, very busy versus not busy?
	Because I remember when I was down there, like, we had a couple oil field areas.
	And, like, they'd be, like, in season.
	But I don't know if for you guys it was always busy.
	It was always busy for at least the time that I was there.
	Toward the end when I actually left, that's when I started to slow down.
	So I actually left at the perfect time.
	Right when they started cutting people's hours, they started letting go of a couple guys just because there wasn't a whole lot of rigs that were...
	That were essentially new to go out and...
	You said in 2019?
	Correct, yeah.
	Okay, because I was down in Texas from 2014 to 2018, and it was busy, and then like, yeah, just like you said, there was a slowdown period for like six months to a year where it wasn't as busy.
	When Paul was a cop in the town, he jacked me on 98th.
	But its COI got it back on one of his ATMS. What the hell is that, bro?
	That was a talk to speech.
	One of the guys, he said, well, Paul's a cop in the town.
	He jacked me on 98, but it's cool because I got him back on one of the ATMs.
	And that was a $100 chat.
	Making jokes.
	He got you back.
	Nah, nah, nah, nah.
	None of my ATMs never got here, so...
	That's BS right there.
	I probably did jack up in 98, dude.
	That's, you know, productivity and shit.
	Wow.
	Oh, man.
	I'm sorry.
	FBI open up!
	So you were talking about, okay, so you're making pretty good money.
	You're making six figures a year.
	Yeah.
	You're working 12 to 14 hour days.
	And then, so, I guess, tell us about the transition.
	How are you able to, like, make that transition where you're working these 12 to 14 hour days while simultaneously running a side business?
	Because that transition period where you have your regular job and transitioning over to an entrepreneur is one of the hardest.
	It's where, like, 90% of people fail.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so my mentality was always, you know, I was always a serial entrepreneur.
	I mean, I started even in like middle school and high school.
	I was the type of kid that I would like run across the street to family daughter, you know, buy the candies, buy the chips, the drinks, stuff them in my backpack, go to school and sell it, right?
	And turn profit.
	So then, you know, I was always a serial entrepreneur.
	It's just that, at the time, I didn't know exactly what I wanted to start.
	You know, I was looking into vending machines.
	Before I even went to the oil fields, I was working in a car wash.
	So I started learning how to wash cars, how to polish, all that good stuff.
	So then, before I went to the oil fields, I started my auto-detailing business.
	But out there in Texas, the weather's crazy, you know.
	The sun's beaming, so you need a whole setup just to be auto-detailing, right?
	Canopy, everything like that, or shade.
	To top it off, it could be sunny in the morning or start raining later in the afternoon, so that alone just messes everything up.
	Once I realized that it was pretty slow as an auto detailer, that's when I went to the oil fields.
	I always had the mindset, so even the days that I wasn't working, when I would come back home for three days, I would look into different businesses, vending machines.
	I actually started looking into gumball machines, something small, right?
	Because I was, even though I was a serial entrepreneur, I was always like afraid to invest because I was like, what if I lose my money?
	You know, what if, you know, I invest into a mentorship or an ATM and, you know, it doesn't work out, right?
	So that was limited belief, right?
	I'm, you know, Mexican parents.
	So, you know, I kept looking into different businesses and vending machine turned into ATMs.
	And, you know, after so much research, I was like, I think I'm ready.
	You know, this was early 2020 when I was like, you know what, I'm going to go ahead and get started.
	Was Texas locked down yet at this point?
	Yeah, yeah.
	So this was when COVID started to come around.
	So at the time, everything started to slow down and I was like, it's now or never, right?
	And I did get a lot of people telling me, like, you're really going to start now in COVID? You know, people are not going to the stores.
	You know, people don't want to touch cash because of the whole COVID situation.
	So this is like what, March or February?
	So this was January, early January.
	Work started to slow down at the time.
	Okay.
	We didn't know exactly what was going on, but I mean, work was just slowing down dramatically.
	When did Texas shut?
	Because I remember vividly here in Miami, Florida, We shut down in March.
	Everything shut down right around March 6th.
	When did you guys shut down in Texas?
	Texas shut down around March and April.
	Okay, but y'all knew in January.
	In January, jobs started to slow down.
	We were like, why are our hours getting cut?
	Why isn't there not a whole lot of work?
	Yeah, so I was like, something weird is happening.
	I didn't predict COVID, but it was something that was like, you know what?
	They're not letting us work so many hours.
	Let me just take this opportunity to finally make that move.
	And that's when I started my LLC, started with my first ATM. And I started all by myself.
	I started all by myself, looked it up on YouTube, did all the free 99 research on YouTube, and started my company in January of 2020.
	How much did it cost you to get that first ATM and get everything running up?
	Pocket-wise.
	All in, I was probably in about $5,000 to $6,000 starting solo, all by yourself, right?
	No mentorship, no courses.
	Oh, you literally just got your own AT. You didn't go through nothing.
	You just did it yourself.
	No, at the time, I didn't, right?
	So at the time, I started all by myself.
	Again, I was afraid to invest, right?
	I didn't want to throw money into mentorships and things like that.
	I was just scared to invest.
	So I started all by myself.
	And it started off really well for me.
	Where'd you put the ATM? I installed it at a cash-only cell phone repair store.
	So they repair your phones and things like that.
	Cash-only?
	Cash-only.
	That was the key.
	Where'd you put it?
	In Dallas, Plano, Fort Worth?
	It was Fort Worth.
	You put it in Fort Worth?
	Fort Worth, yeah.
	So it was about a 30-40 minute drive from me.
	And, you know, this was back in January 2020.
	I started February.
	I installed the first ATM. Right before everything shut down.
	Yeah, right before.
	So the only reason I was able to get it up so quick, and I'm glad to draw some free game for you guys, I just started posting on Facebook.
	I started posting on Facebook, and this was before I was even a company.
	So I was ambitious, too.
	You know, I was already posting.
	I was already prospecting locations, and that's how I was able to find my first location in literally like a month.
	Right?
	So that came very easy.
	But then as I started, you know, as time started to move on, it started to become slow because of COVID, right?
	And then, you know, I was not a sales savvy type of person.
	So the only reason I landed that location was because he was cash only.
	He needed an ATM, right?
	But any other business that I was walking into, it was just rejections after rejections.
	No, no, no, no.
	Why would they say no to have an ATM? It's because, honestly, at the time, I wasn't so savvy.
	I didn't know how to approach business owners and talk to them.
	You know, I was just a Mexican kid just trying to...
	You were new to it.
	Yeah, I was new to business entrepreneurship, right?
	So, you know, I didn't know how to sell.
	I didn't know how to walk and have conversations.
	I'll tell you what.
	That was a blessing.
	You know why?
	Cash-only ATMs.
	Whenever you go to business that's cash-only, you need to use the ATM no matter what.
	So let's say, for example, who else wants to cash in more?
	Nobody does.
	So you walk in there, you have your credit card.
	Oh, it's cash-only.
	That's what I'm going to do.
	Use the ATM. So it's going to force you to use it no matter what.
	That's smart.
	Yeah, that was a needle mover for that business owner at the time.
	And that's how I landed my first location.
	But after I started running into, you know, more businesses and COVID started to come around, they stopped taking cash and that became a problem.
	So then it was a matter of going in there, selling your business, selling the offer, having a great offer, first of all, right?
	And ultimately getting the merchant to be like, you know what, let's give it a shot.
	But at the time, I wasn't so savvy.
	I didn't know how to speak to business owners.
	I didn't know how to...
	I mean, I would stutter, turn bright red, and it only made it harder for me.
	So then that's when I was like, you know what, I have to start looking into mentorships.
	And then that's when...
	You know, Paul came into play, and I reached out to him, and I was like, hey, I started off strong, but, you know, I'm a year into the business.
	I only got, like, two or three ATMs.
	I want to be able to scale to 20, to 30, just like him at the time.
	And, you know, that's when he took me up under his wing.
	I invested into ATM together, started off as a mentee, and here I am four and a half years later where I'll work 20 ATMs generating me, you know.
	So when you went to Paul for help, you had three ATMs going.
	How much were those generating for you, roughly?
	Roughly, each ATM, roughly about $150 to $200 a month.
	Okay, so you're making like $800 a month off the three ATMs that you had before.
	And then once you got with Paul, you scaled it up to, you said $12,000 to $15,000 a month.
	Correct, with over 20 ATMs.
	That's nice.
	Sorry to say that.
	Paul, how did you know he was the one?
	How did you know he was on point, going to kill it?
	Bro, because, like, number one, he took action.
	Number two, he asked a lot of questions.
	And then number three, you see how humble this kid is?
	Like, he's super humble, bro.
	Like, people are just attracted to him.
	Because when he speaks, he's, like, very educated, like...
	You know, people like to deal with good people that get the good vibes, like good synergy, and that's what it comes.
	It's just like you're very authentic, and you can't teach that in the business world now, especially with social media, bro, because you see everybody trying to sell everything, right?
	So at the end of the day, especially with these baby boomers that have the brick-and-mortar shops, When they see a kid, a young kid going in there, they're like, oh, is he trying to scam us?
	Like, what's the deal?
	But what he knows is three things.
	And this is three things that I always tell everybody.
	If you educate people, if you provide value, and if you build foundation, you will always win them over, bro.
	And then never give up.
	And that's what he does, bro.
	He never gives up.
	He went to the extent of even doing his tangible ETM business.
	And then came to me when we were doing like a meal with ATM together a month, and it was like, hey bro, like I'm not trying to disrespect you, but would you mind teaching me digital marketing on the side?
	Like I'm willing to pay you.
	So he paid me like 15 grand for like three months of mentorship, bro.
	It was like two sessions a week.
	And literally, we just grind, bro.
	And I'm like, hey, bro, this is not passive.
	This is not like ATM. Digital market is hard as fuck.
	But you can make a lot of money if you do it right.
	So he put the money, he got skin in the game, which majority of people, we already know, they're not willing to go ahead and take an educated risk.
	The thing is, what I always tell people, guys, is just like, if your life's fucked up right now, if you're in a bad situation, you're like, damn, how are these other people that are successful online doing better than me?
	It's because guess what?
	They took the risk.
	And guess what's the worst case scenario?
	Especially in 2024, because I believe it's the easiest time to make money, especially because you have access, proximity.
	Like, look at that.
	Like, four and a half years ago, we didn't even know each other.
	But now, he came into ATM together.
	I always pick the best people.
	And guess what?
	They usually end up working with me or for me.
	And, you know, get them.
	Yeah.
	Get him, same thing.
	We used to be co-workers.
	He was a police, I was a police.
	I was like, hey, bro, this company's skyrocketing, bro.
	Come work for me and you can work your way up.
	And that's what he did.
	Now he's a CEO of this new company that I'm building right now.
	But yeah, dude, your network is really your net worth.
	I'm hearing that he's humble, willing to learn and take action.
	That goes a long way.
	Just to get him.
	Oh no, absolutely, dude.
	Good people.
	And he's still around, guys, for you guys that are wondering.
	He's working right now with the other stuff, so don't think like, oh, where's he at?
	Like, he's still around.
	Obviously, this is called business and scaling up.
	Sorry, so you were saying, Paul?
	Yeah.
	And by the way, for everybody right now that's saying, oh, 15K scam, trust me, right now, you couldn't pay me 15K to do one-on-one mentorship.
	It's actually like 50K. Yeah.
	And that's only for like a month.
	This is years ago.
	This is years ago.
	What they say, yesterday's prices ain't today's prices.
	Exactly.
	That's just the way I... Also, the thing that's really important, right, and I say this all the time, right, so I went ahead and, you know, I got a mentor, Brandon Carter, when I started my fitness business, and the thing that made me take it very seriously and get into it, and I was able to scale that fitness business into a six-figure career while I was still working in law enforcement, kind of like you did with your ATMs, is I had a mentor and I had skin in the game.
	Whenever you pay, you pay attention.
	That's what I realized.
	Exactly.
	When you pay money, then you end up paying attention.
	But when it's free, you don't take it seriously.
	It's human psychology.
	That's why it's not necessarily a lot of times that information is revolutionary, though it can be sometimes.
	It's that when you put money into the game and you have skin in the game, then you're like, okay, I'm going to take this more seriously.
	It's going to make you sit there and watch the modules.
	It's going to make you sit there and take action to create the LLC. It's going to make you sit there and take the steps.
	To do the sale calls and everything else like that.
	Because you're like, I got money into this, I need to recoup.
	So, it's very powerful how that can motivate you to go ahead and get stuff done when you have men's skin in the game.
	Also, it's a mindset too.
	Because when I came into America, I had a wrong mindset.
	It's like, okay, I'm going to have money, invest it right away, and make it work.
	But no, I have to make a massive amount of money, then invest it.
	But paying my mentor, I realized I was doing it wrong, and the mindset shift was different.
	And the learning curve as well.
	Like, obviously speaking, you didn't know what to do.
	In that instance, you met Paul, the learning curve is gone.
	So, it's a W. Yeah, so that's the importance of mentors.
	And you know, people always say, oh, this is a scam or whatever.
	It's like, and I know, here's the thing, because I was there before.
	Like, I was there where I was a regular W-2 worker.
	The concept of making money on the internet is a foreign thing.
	You think it's all a scam.
	This is bullshit.
	No way you're making 10K a month off of being on the internet.
	This is bullshit.
	And I'm telling you guys, I used to be a government employee, man.
	The worst offenders of being comfortable with a fucking paycheck, right?
	And your 401k, or we call it a TSP, Thrift savings plan.
	I literally bought into, I'm going to get a check every two months.
	I'm going to put money into my 401k.
	I'm going to put my 5% because the government's going to match the 5%.
	I'm sure with the city, you had the same situation.
	Also, with your job, it's very difficult to transition over to an entrepreneurial mindset and transfer over to making money on the internet because you think it's a scam.
	You think it's weird.
	These people don't really make money on this.
	They just make money on selling you a product.
	They do make money a lot of the times.
	Now, of course, they're scammers.
	Don't get it twisted, guys.
	There are absolutely scammers out there.
	Of course.
	The thing is, is that what do they give you for free?
	If they're giving you a bunch of info for free that you can make money off of, then what do you think is going to be behind the pillow on 9 out of 10 times?
	Right?
	If they're not able to help you make money for free, then 9 out of 10 times, yeah, you're right, they are a scammer.
	And we tell guys all the time, watch your free content first, gain the knowledge, and if we get a road stop, then pay the creator for the knowledge behind the scenes.
	Yeah, but a lot of the times, if someone's legit, you'll be able to make money off of or get some kind of benefit off of their free stuff.
	Speaking of money, we made money from Paul.
	Yeah, yeah.
	With your stuff.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Paul, you want to talk about that?
	Yeah, yeah, we can dive into it.
	If you want to, or if you wanted to, I know we had a bunch of stuff we had to cover.
	No, no, it's all good.
	We could go back and forth.
	But yeah, essentially, like, so Juan right now, he takes over as CEO, guys.
	So, like I said earlier, and by the way, like, we want to talk about, like, that giveaway?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, please.
	Tell them about the giveaway.
	Yeah, guys.
	So we want to actually provide value to you guys, you guys watching this right now.
	So in your guys' paid community, correct?
	Castle Club.
	Yeah, in Castle Club, we're actually going to be hosting a live giveaway on Tuesday, which is going to be with Juan Geronimo inside of ATM Business for Beginners.
	Right now, we're almost at 100K members.
	Nice.
	And you can only get that link if you're part of that paid community that these guys have.
	And then on Wednesday...
	I'm going to be doing a live webinar where essentially I'm going to be able to start you guys off with your own credit card processing company.
	We actually built it for you.
	We built one for Myron, and Myron forgot about it.
	That's how basic it is.
	That's how basic it is.
	You forgot about it.
	I didn't think y'all were going to pull me off last, but yeah.
	Which is a good thing.
	Yeah, it's a good thing, yeah.
	They built it for me.
	I didn't even, yeah.
	Get them right now.
	At the office like, Myron.
	But yeah, guys, so we want to add value to your guys' community because, I mean, you guys are the shit, bro.
	So guys, they're giving away two businesses for you.
	Who does that?
	That's crazy, by the way.
	Just saying.
	Yeah, guys, so it's absolutely free.
	There's no gimmicks.
	You guys don't have to pay us anything.
	Essentially, it's just a live training just on the business and the opportunity that you guys could do.
	And essentially, you guys could win a free business.
	And the only way to opt in is through the paid community, if you guys CastClub.tv, guys.
	If you're a member of CastClub, we got almost 6,500 of y'all in there, man.
	So one of y'all can go ahead and get one of these two businesses, man, or get both.
	And we'll post the link in there, guys, because we're going to have a Zoom call after this, actually, as well, where you guys can have an open Q&A. Two winners, right?
	Yeah.
	One for your side of business and then your side of business.
	Correct.
	So two winners, bro.
	Two businesses.
	Okay.
	So, yeah, bro.
	And here, for some of you guys, oh, this is fucked up.
	It's a castle club.
	Well, here's the thing.
	We know if you're able to pay the $35 to get in there, you're going to probably take it seriously when you get the business and able to make money off it.
	We want people that are serious.
	And if you can't even pay $35 to go in and win a free business, I don't know what to tell you, bro.
	You got bigger problems.
	That is true.
	So, sorry.
	So, we were talking about, back to your story, because we didn't finish, right?
	Yeah.
	So you work with Alex.
	You scale up.
	You're making 12 to 15k a month now with ATMs.
	A lot of people get comfortable and just kind of sit there on their laurels.
	Where'd you go from there?
	So, once I started, once I built my tangible business and I started generating, you know, five figures a month, you know, 12 to 15K monthly because it's passive income and business depends on how it is.
	Yeah, that's passive income, guys.
	Like, you're not, you're going to sleep and that's coming in no matter what.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, so once I built that tangible business, that's when I, you know, reached out to Paul and I was like, hey, you know, Can you help me out with digital marketing, right?
	It's like I wanted to keep growing, keep learning exactly.
	So I reached out to Paul.
	I was like, hey, can you help me?
	Like he said, no disrespect, we're essentially competitors, right?
	Competition.
	Paul's a great guy.
	He's for the community, literally.
	He came from law enforcement and is still helping the community.
	He was like, yeah, man, I'll help you out.
	Like people were saying, 15K scam.
	I paid him 15K so he could teach me digital marketing.
	I started to put in the work and then created my own My own mentorship program, where I was then teaching people across the United States how to start their own ATM business.
	For everyone saying 15K for the program, guys, I made that in my first month, three times over.
	So I started my own mentorship program.
	I started teaching people how to start their ATM business, and I was doing that for about nine months.
	I did that for about nine months.
	I helped over 50 people across the United States start their own ATM business.
	From one ATM to I have a student who currently has seven plus ATMs on location in San Antonio, Texas, to be exact.
	And yeah, I mean, I started to scale this business making over 40 grand a month in digital marketing.
	That's not even including my ATM, you know, residual income.
	So then I have two kids.
	So I have my firstborn and then I just had a five...
	Well, not just, but five months ago, I just had my second baby, both baby girls.
	And, you know, that alone, you know, it motivated me to...
	It didn't motivate me.
	It...
	It kind of like burnt me out in a sense, right?
	Because now I got to be a dad, right?
	Now I got to be a dad and I'm over here on, you know, flying from state to state.
	I'm focused on my digital marketing business.
	I'm focused on my ATM. So just like they say, entrepreneurship, you're not home most of the time, right?
	You're going to be working.
	You're going to be at the office.
	So, you know, being away from the family and then on top of that, dealing with both businesses now, I kind of had a burnout, right?
	And I decided to take a break when my second baby was born.
	Understood, yeah.
	And I took like a four-month break.
	I just got burned down, man.
	I started getting anxiety, kind of like what I was dealing with in the oil fields.
	I started getting anxiety.
	I was getting anxiety in my dreams.
	I was waking up because I wasn't having anxiety in my dreams.
	So it was that crazy.
	So then once I decided to come back, I was like, you know what?
	I'm ready to go.
	I took a break, but I'm ready to come back.
	That's when Paul saw that I was coming back.
	He was like, hey, man, I built another two businesses since you were gone.
	He was like...
	How do you feel coming over to ATM together, becoming CEO and running my ATM, you know, mentorship program?
	So I was like, you know what, let's do it.
	So then, you know, we started talking and it just turned out that I was a great fit for his program.
	And, you know, I went from learning from him, creating my own program to now being CEO of ATM together.
	We should go back further, from car washer detailer to actual CEO. That's huge, by the way.
	Yeah.
	That's huge.
	And that's interesting.
	Paul's smart.
	He went ahead and bought the competition out.
	Yeah, you saw the business out.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So obviously it makes sense.
	It's like, yo, I'd rather you work for me or work with me than have you go ahead and compete against me, especially when you're good.
	And here's the thing.
	I want to really harp on this.
	You took four months off.
	And you were able to take that four months off to be with your family and recuperate because you had built that passive income cushion there, which is very important.
	I mean, most people can't take four months off.
	Most people can't take four days off, let alone four months off.
	Four hours off!
	But you know what I'm hearing from this whole group here, all of us here?
	You know what we all did as men to be successful?
	We invested in ourselves.
	That's huge.
	It is huge.
	And like you said, bro, if you guys think about it, all the major companies out there, they buy out the smaller companies, right?
	Of course.
	But that wasn't the reason.
	Bro, I was on Instagram one day, I was just like...
	Hey, what happened to Juan?
	So then we jumped on a call, man.
	I was just like, hey, bro, what's happening?
	He's just like, bro, like, I was just getting so much anxiety.
	You know, I got a little girl.
	Yeah, I got a little girl.
	I got another little girl.
	I got to take care of the family and whatnot.
	So I just took a break and, you know, the ATMs are just paying me monthly.
	So then that's when I was just like, hey, it's the perfect timing because me and Getem, we had just started building Merchant Automation back in February of 2023.
	Yeah.
	and then this shit was going wild bro and i'll explain to you guys what exactly this is but essentially people always say like well isn't credit card machines like your competitor and yes or no and the reason why is because we've been like taking over the market we just expanded to canada actually two weeks ago bro we're the first merchant service company to offer this type of service so just think about it like this think about like any liquor store we got here in miami right Right now, they're going with like the big banks.
	Let's say like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase.
	And here's the thing.
	Usually business owners, mom and pop shops, they'll go and they'll go online and they'll sign up for a merchant services account.
	So basically credit card processing, right?
	And then they'll get charged a fee anytime that the customer, the consumer, pays with their credit cards, right?
	Whether it's Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover.
	And this is like...
	The old school way of doing business because, you know, you got the baby boomers like, oh, well, this is overhead.
	It's almost like a badge of honor.
	Like, this is overhead.
	I'm not going to charge my clients that shit.
	But here's the thing.
	With inflation going through the roof, I mean, you guys see the rent prices all throughout the United States.
	People can barely afford shit, bro.
	So what's happening, especially with, like, the digital space, with Uber Eats, with, like, everybody wanting to stay home now and not actually, like, talking to people, like, outside.
	Like, the world's different now, bro.
	So...
	So what Gedim and I saw was that like mom-and-pop shops, they were like closing shop, especially from like where we're from.
	We're from the Bay Area in California.
	And then even when I was in San Diego, we were seeing a lot of stores getting shut down.
	We were like, what the hell's going on?
	So they're like, we can't afford to be in business because, you know, all these bigger companies are either like buying it out, real estate's through the roof, rent's crazy.
	So we were like, damn.
	So then...
	When in the middle of December of 2022, I got approached by two entrepreneurs that were in merchant services, John Sarabia and Rob Sin.
	And these guys are monsters in this industry, merchant services industry.
	They've been in the game for 18 years.
	They've generated over $197 million, bro.
	We're talking about...
	Almost a quarter billion.
	Killers, bro.
	This dude, Rob, he just bought his third Malibu house type of shit.
	I'm like, bro, why are you even working?
	He's just like, love of the game.
	Love of the game.
	Kobe, he didn't have to continue to play ball, but he continued to play ball because of the love of the game, right?
	So it's the same thing in entrepreneurship.
	You got people nowadays working until, shit, they die because, dude, they're gonna continue.
	I'm the same way.
	I have the same mindset.
	Well, retiring actually, like, statistically speaking, makes you die faster.
	Kills you.
	No, and it really does because...
	They teach you that in law enforcement right away, you know.
	As soon as you get off the job, they tell you, hey, if you retire, pick up a second job.
	Yeah, and then you see the guys working at county or working security or some shit like that.
	But no, man, so they came to me and they were like, hey, bro, we love what you did with the concept of ATMs, which is an old school black and white business, and then you brought it to the digital world.
	And I was just like, yeah man, so what are you trying to do?
	And then they explained to me what the new service that came out a few years ago that a lot of mom and pop shops don't know.
	And hopefully you guys know some actual mom and pop shops.
	Maybe it's your parents.
	Maybe it's you.
	But...
	Anyone can use this.
	It doesn't necessarily have to be any of these terminals, but it can actually be for e-commerce.
	It could be for contractors.
	It could be for anything.
	Think about it, right?
	If you're going to charge somebody, you can literally use this for anything.
	So the way it works is called the cash discount program.
	And the cash discount program, instead of the merchant, the actual business owner, paying for the actual credit card fees is just reversed.
	A lot of people always go, but can't business owners just do that on their own?
	Well, here's the thing.
	A lot of restaurants here in Miami actually do, bro.
	I caught it.
	I was just like, what the hell?
	They charge you 18% off rip here.
	Bro, it's fucking crazy.
	I try to warn people that when you come here in Miami and in Miami Beach especially, they're going to charge you 18, 20%.
	They already take the tip, so don't add extra unless you want to add extra.
	But that's why the service here is so bad, actually, is because they get their tip up front here.
	Guaranteed.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, guaranteed.
	I don't know if other cities have that.
	I've noticed that so just here.
	I don't know if New York City does that too.
	Y'all do that in San Diego?
	Bro, I didn't notice it in San Diego, but it's because we were like in the humble beginnings of building everything else.
	So we started noticing, you know, it's like when you buy like a yellow Ferrari or like a red Ferrari, you start noticing the yellow Ferraris everywhere.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Same shit, right?
	So now that we were training up people and we were actually building our own tangible cash discount program around San Diego, we were like, damn!
	A lot of these mom and pop shops and a lot of these bigger companies are actually just charging people the credit card process fees and they're not paying out of pocket.
	So they're illegally doing that.
	And people don't catch that because they'll put something on there like, oh, a dining-in fee.
	Yeah.
	A miscellaneous or some bullshit like that.
	I had a friend come into town.
	He's from the islands, of course.
	He doesn't know how things work over here in America.
	He paid for the meal.
	He thought they overcharged him.
	Really?
	Automatically.
	Which was the guaranteed.
	Which is crazy.
	Well, they do that in Miami.
	Yeah, but he didn't know.
	Someone here in the chest said LA does it too.
	That's crazy, bro.
	Yeah, it's fucked up and it's getting super common with the high-end restaurants because when I went to Atlanta to do the speaking gig, I stayed at, I don't know, this hotel in, what's the fancy area?
	No, what's the fancy area in Atlanta?
	Bucket, probably.
	Bucket, in Bucket.
	And the breakfast spot in there.
	Bro, I took my breakfast in my room, they gave me styrofoam fucking container, and it was like 20%.
	Oh really?
	20%?
	I was like, 20% for this?
	And they were like, oh yeah.
	And you were a guest?
	I was like, let me speak to the manager.
	I was just like, there's no way you guys are charging me 20% for my breakfast.
	This is the most expensive breakfast I've ever had.
	I live in fucking Miami.
	And they're like, well, yeah, we're charging, you know, for the styrofoam.
	And I was like, that's fucking bullshit.
	That's to cover your fucking credit card fees.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	How you know that?
	How you know that?
	I probably sold you a goddamn terminal.
	That's what I'm saying, bro.
	This is finesse, bro.
	I sold you that machine!
	Hey, bro.
	It's fucking business, right?
	It's like some Wolf of Wall Street.
	And I'm going to tell you something right now, man.
	In merchant services, these cats out here, they call them ISOs, independent sales organizations.
	They're fucking, like, you ever seen, what is it, American Psycho?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Great movie.
	They are psychopaths.
	Yeah.
	But business people.
	Yeah.
	But psychopaths, business people.
	And they're cutthroat, bro.
	Of course.
	But with that being said, bro.
	So, how we educate people.
	Okay?
	There's two things that we do now.
	And this is why we're about to close in at 10 mil, bro.
	And get him.
	He's killing it right now, bro.
	Nice.
	He's building like...
	Hella sales team.
	We got 60 employees for the company now.
	Nice.
	Total across all three companies, we have 90 employees, dude.
	So it's fucking crazy, you know?
	And Gedan was just like, hey bro, guess who I just saw?
	I was just like, who?
	I saw Fresh.
	Like he was in a fucking Lambo show, like Exotic.
	He was like, what up?
	Gedan, you know?
	Nice, nice.
	I like Gedan.
	He's humble, man.
	He's a good dude, bro.
	We just went shooting over there to the Homestead Training Center.
	Dope.
	Sick-ass gun.
	There's a military base down there, yeah.
	But see, in business, when you have character, and you're humble, people want to work with you.
	And let's say, for example, you're arrogant, you're cocky.
	Alright, you might make some plays here and there, but like, actual business behind the scenes?
	Gotta be humble, man.
	Dude, longevity.
	Exactly.
	That's what you're talking about, French longevity, bro, because it's just like, I don't like to burn bridges, and I like to do good business.
	Even if I get an outliner customer that's like, I made a thousand dollars, but I thought I was going to make fucking a million dollars.
	I was like, look, let me talk to you real quick.
	And that's what me and Juan will do.
	We'll jump on Zoom, and we'll be like, what's up?
	Well, I was told this and that.
	I was like, didn't you sign this contract?
	You know we were probably law enforcement, right?
	You know we used to go to court and get drilled by like DAs and shit, right?
	Like, we don't fuck around.
	So at the end of the day, man, with the cash discount program, they basically switch, but it's just the legal way.
	They switch and they charge their clients.
	So think about it like this, instead of you Paying for the credit card processing fees.
	Now you're charging me when I'm buying your item, your service, or whatever it is you're selling.
	And then it's called a convenience fee.
	And here's what most people think.
	They're like, bro, you're going to push all the fucking clients away.
	No!
	No!
	That is a limiting belief.
	And the reason why it's a limiting belief is because you're giving the customer, the consumer, an option to get a cash discount off your service, your product, and your item.
	And guess what?
	When they pay with a credit card.
	No, when they pay with cash if they want to.
	Now, if they pay with card, that's where...
	You make money.
	Okay.
	That's where you make money.
	And that's why it's called the cash discount program.
	And that's why a lot of people, they're like, bro, why are you guys just solely focusing on this system?
	And I'm like, because it works and it's simplified and we got killer results.
	Like right now, dude, like we launched it.
	We got our own results.
	We placed 60 of these machines around San Diego and California, and we were generating around 25K a month, bro, in residuals.
	Nice.
	So proven concept now.
	So what we did is we took the call centers from ATM together.
	And we built a duplicate call center.
	And then they went ham, bro, calling 500 to 1,000 businesses a day.
	And now we were going ahead and partnering up with aspiring entrepreneurs that wanted to get into this business because, bro, this makes so much sense.
	Why don't you just go have other people do it?
	Well...
	Yeah, simple.
	So basically, these machines incentivize the customers to pay in cash.
	Correct.
	Which obviously helps the business out because, yeah, with credit cards, you know, for the audience out there that's wondering, you know, there's credit card fees, right?
	This is why, like, when you go to certain places, you know, when you go to a convenience store like a bodega in New York City, they're like, oh no, you gotta spend $10 or more if you're gonna use your credit card.
	It's because they wanna avoid the fees.
	Well, they wanna make sure that they profit something whenever you use your credit card.
	And then some places won't even let you use Amex.
	You guys ever wonder why?
	Amex, because it has some of the highest processing fees.
	So whenever people tell you, oh, we don't accept credit or we don't accept Amex or whatever, it has to do 99% of the time because of these fees that Paul's talking about.
	And then when they go pull out cash, where are they going?
	ATM. ATM. And that's why it was a shoo-in, bro, because they pitched me and they're smart.
	They're businessmen.
	Yeah.
	They're business.
	That's why they made nine figures and they're rolling like STOs and all that shit when they first come out.
	I was like, bro, why are you getting all these scores?
	He's like, I have to, otherwise I'm going to get attacked by Uncle Sam.
	You got to pay Uncle Sam.
	Yeah, dude.
	He's just like, I might as well get all these exotics.
	I'm like, dude, you're rolling on everything.
	This shit's crazy.
	So, they caught my eye and then I told Gennam, I was like, bro, we gotta go in 50-50.
	And you guys remember when we first came to the show, Gennam was my COO. So, he was one of my ops and shit.
	And he's good at it because, you know, he was like a sergeant of police before.
	And I was like, alright, dude, you're gonna...
	Because they have to manage a bunch of people.
	Exactly, like military style, right?
	And that's what we need, running like a fucking business.
	And then I was just like, hey, bro, you're going to be my partner.
	I'm going to go and do this business, do a startup in 90 days, and I'll be back.
	And fucking in 60 days, I collected a million dollars.
	We fucking enrolled our first clients, got them fucking killer results, bro.
	Each one of our clients, which was the first 30 batch back in 2023, Each one of them made 1,000 to 3,000 in fucking residual income a month, bro.
	Nice.
	That's awesome.
	That's somebody's rent.
	Bro, it was fucking G. And you gotta think about it like this.
	Possibly.
	Yeah, this is money where, like, essentially, you set it up once, and this is the logic behind it.
	You set it up once, and what are you doing after that?
	You're not maintaining it.
	They're not calling you because we have 100% fucking call center support.
	So they're calling the fucking customer service, and then on top of that, guess what?
	They're gonna give you referrals because you're saving them 100% of the fees.
	So now you're coming in there as the hero.
	And then number two, you're going in and you're making residuals off of the clients.
	And most people are like, but I'm not gonna lose my clients.
	People buy you.
	At the end of the day, people buy business owners.
	So if it's a good business, you know, like name one, like Sexy Fish.
	Bro, I'm not gonna lie.
	I'm not hating.
	And if the owners from Sexy Fish is watching right now, the food is not that great.
	It's just the ambiance is cool.
	Bro, the food is not that great.
	And then they try to fucking play you.
	It's expensive as hell.
	Bro, they try to play you.
	Oh, no.
	People are paying for the environment and the vibe.
	But the food...
	It's overpriced as hell.
	Yeah, it's not good.
	Bro, I was sick to my stomach last time I went, bro.
	Because, look, check this out.
	I was sitting there, right?
	And then the waiter comes and they did train their staff better.
	They go and they're like...
	Do you want the premium meats or do you want the regular?
	And this is fucking Miami, so you gotta think about it.
	We're consumer heaven right here, especially in Brickell, bro.
	So, you know, people that think they got it like that, they're gonna be like, oh, I'll take the premium meats.
	I'll take the premium meats.
	I ask the waiter, what the hell am I paying for?
	And they go, oh, it's just higher end meat.
	Like what?
	You stupid!
	They couldn't say shit, bro.
	And I was like, nah, we'll take regular.
	And fucking...
	Now the customer service just went...
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It was fucking all bad, bro.
	It's upsell, man.
	Yeah.
	I mean, what they're really charging you for is to take a stupid picture in the bathroom.
	That's how they get...
	That's what it is.
	Like, the bimbos do that.
	So, whatever.
	Yeah, that's what it is, man.
	It's stupid.
	That's why I don't go there.
	I don't think to this day I've even eaten there yet.
	I gotta say, comodo...
	It's where it's at.
	Or Gecko.
	Bro, we take everyone that comes and visits us to Komodo.
	I'm telling you.
	Bro, it's the shit.
	I love Komodo.
	Me too.
	That place overpriced, but at least the food is good.
	It's a good experience, the staff is good, and the food is good too.
	Yeah, but yeah, it's still overpriced.
	He don't like eating out though.
	I genuinely think fine dining is a scam, but that's just my opinion.
	Okay, okay.
	I want you guys to pin it on this because me and my fiance, we talk about this shit all the time.
	You know how a bunch of like OF chicks or like these broke chicks, they come up and they're like, oh, if a guy takes me to Cheesecake, oh, I'm worth more than Cheesecake.
	Of course.
	I was just like, fucking Cheesecake is good.
	It is.
	It's not bad.
	And this is coming from a guy that like, I'm decently well off, you know?
	So I love it.
	I think it's great food.
	I think Chipotle is good.
	I still eat McDonald's for breakfast.
	At the end of the day, what the fuck's up with people on social media trying to floss like that?
	Who gives a fuck?
	And the people that flex the most about that don't have the money to talk the shit that they talk.
	You know what I mean?
	That's the funny part.
	That's why I think fine dining is a scam.
	Because if you really make that money, whatever, you're going to be like, why the fuck am I spending money?
	This is stupid.
	Like, I'm going to go get Chipotle.
	I don't know.
	Maybe that's just me because I'm minimalist, but yeah.
	I mean, obviously there's occasions, right, where you want to go somewhere fancy.
	Of course.
	Especially a business meeting or anything else like that.
	That's important.
	But if it's just you, bro, like, come on, man.
	Like, let me go to Kimono with, you know, my fucking buddy here.
	Like, for what?
	Like, I mean, do you really need to?
	You get to go to Chipotle, man.
	I will say, the smarter route is to be a minimalist and not go there, but with clients for business, 100%, you gotta do...
	And you can write that off.
	That makes sense.
	That makes sense from a business perspective.
	So we're going tonight, right?
	Uh, no.
	We got some chats here?
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	I can read some of the chats and then...
	I think we have TTS as well.
	Yeah.
	Oh, TTS? Oh, yeah.
	Okay.
	So they got some stuff to say.
	Oh, Getham's in the house.
	He said, Fresh, when you put your ATM at Tootsies.
	Listen, bro.
	What?
	I don't like Tootsies, man.
	Fresh, when you're putting your ATM at Tootsies.
	And that was a $100 buyout.
	Let's talk about that, putting them in a strip club.
	So I hit up a certain club about doing it.
	And we're talking about it more in detail.
	But his friend already did the business with him.
	So he's trying to work with his friend.
	Listen, bro.
	I got my other buddy here.
	So we'll see what happens.
	All right.
	Okay.
	The Dope 900 says, Paul had two crackheads guarding his ATM at Cities, but I just gave them some E&J so they would look the other way.
	Shit is wild.
	Yo, come on, bro.
	P. Diddy.
	Okay, look, man.
	That's wild.
	I'll go shopping with you, bro.
	No, D.D., I'm just kidding.
	I don't know.
	You need to leave the country, bro.
	They might indict you, nigga.
	Oh, hey, they gathered...
	I don't know if you know, they gathered the grand jury out in New York, bro.
	You better get out of here.
	He's a good sport.
	I mean, he can't stop, won't stop.
	Yeah, I guess so.
	Boy Whisperer says, got my first ATM with ATM together this year.
	Get your money up, boys.
	WFNF.
	Yeah, see, these are the guys in the castle club that actually put their money where their mouth is Shout out to y'all, man.
	I started Silver and Gold Stacking channel on YouTube.
	PMG, Poor Man, Gold, Silver, Stack.
	Come subscribe.
	Thanks.
	Alright, shout out to you, bro.
	Oh, man.
	Did you see that interview?
	I didn't see the flow of that.
	I'm not going to lie.
	Flacco destroyed that nigga, bro.
	Oh, did he?
	Yeah, he did.
	What did he say?
	He just told him the truth, bro.
	Okay.
	I'm paying $17.
	That's from Alex to go.
	Yeah, if you had gotten into a castle club when we told y'all, you would have got in at half off.
	Because we ran a special for you guys, and you get grandfathered in at that price for the rest of your life.
	And now, you have a chance to win two businesses.
	Guys, get in there.
	Get in there.
	That's crazy, bro.
	We want to talk to serious people.
	We're going to have a Zoom call, and we're going to go over it and do it on there.
	Link is posted.
	Is the giveaway just for us or all over the world?
	WFNF from New Zealand.
	It is for Cal's Club members, man.
	No, no, no.
	Region, region, region.
	U.S. Oh, he's asking region.
	U.S. and Canada.
	U.S. and Canada.
	U.S. and Canada for the business guys.
	What up, Del Myron and Freshman?
	Watch you guys since late 2022.
	I took y'all advice, repaired my credit myself from 58760, all three bureaus in one year.
	Congratulations, bro.
	See, I told you if you should take our free information and get results from it, then you know we ain't scamming you.
	Now I have a consulting agency where I do credit repair and business funding.
	Bro, shout out to you, man.
	Congratulations.
	And I'm only mentioning this because someone commented and said, y'all do a show on credit repair.
	Okay.
	We touched it before, but we could do another one.
	We'll do another one for y'all.
	Anybody need credit or repair on business funding?
	Hit my IG. Okay, cool.
	You need plugs and stuff.
	Martin, as a former Fed, I assume you had the opportunity to drive fast, unmarked car with lights and siren.
	How was the experience?
	Was it cool as it seems?
	Were it too stressful to enjoy?
	Any wild story seems hella badass.
	I have, man.
	Have you?
	He's definitely done it.
	Yeah.
	What does that feel like?
	I mean, it's pretty badass.
	I'm not going to lie.
	When I do it, I'm going to get arrested.
	When you do it, it's good because you're a cop, man.
	They said, Bills, you ugly too, nigga.
	W. Bills, most underrated character of FNF. Okay.
	I guess you guys think Bills is ugly.
	He's never on camera.
	How do you even know?
	I need to understand this.
	Why are men calling other men ugly?
	I don't get it.
	I don't get that, bro.
	Like, bro, why are you looking at other men like, honey, look, bro.
	Like, I don't get this, bro.
	It's weird.
	But yeah, I am ugly, though.
	Weezy said, also, I see an episode when y'all had Neal Davis and I'm going to start leveraging my biz credit like he does.
	I'm fixing my people credit, too, and I'll help them get funding.
	I'm saying this to let people know I'm no scammer.
	I just watch my iron yell at me and call me a loser for not having a 720 credit score and I took accountability.
	Put in the work they both said.
	My life has been way better, so thanks to you both.
	And thank you so much, bro, for supporting us over on Cows Club.
	Shout out to you, bro.
	What kind of location do you look for for printing an ATM? Good question.
	Let's go on.
	I mean, cash-only, cash-driven businesses, but even locations that are high traffic, those work out as well.
	I have a...
	They're called bazaars, so it's like a...
	I don't know if you guys know.
	It's kind of like a mall, but for Mexicans, right?
	Okay.
	We have here in Miami, it's called a swap shop.
	It's up north.
	It's like a...
	Yeah.
	You know.
	Like a flea market.
	It's like a flea market.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Thank you.
	Exactly like a flea market.
	We call them bazaars out there pretty much.
	You know, you see a bunch of Mexicans in there buying jewelry, gold, or just clothes or whatever.
	It's kind of like a mall.
	And, you know, majority of those businesses, they take card.
	Yeah.
	So they take card or cash and then just to, you know, be in there to...
	To get in, you know, the door, for example, cash, and just the traffic alone within those businesses, it'll drive up your ATM transactions by a lot.
	You know what's the worst, though?
	Like, you go to a location to either shop or, for example, buy stuff or even, like, a club.
	And you gotta pay with cash.
	So there's an ATEM in there, for you to leave to go somewhere else, it's just time and, you know, it's inconvenient.
	So you're gonna go to that ATEM machine, and it's like 20%.
	I'm like, goddamn, but at least I'm here.
	I get a club right now or go wherever I'm at right now.
	So to save time, you're gonna go there, no matter what.
	Yeah, like right now, I've had this location for the past three and a half years.
	It's a cash-only Mexican restaurant.
	I landed this location three and a half years ago, and until this day, it's been generating me just one ATM, $4,000 a month.
	I'm telling you, bro.
	Because you have to use it.
	That's a lot.
	Where are you going to go?
	Yeah, because number one, everybody loves that restaurant.
	It's by a lot of clubs as well.
	Is it in Dallas?
	Yeah, it's in Dallas.
	It's in Dallas?
	Yeah, of course.
	North Dallas.
	Mexican.
	North Dallas.
	The Thuckles.
	She's a buddha.
	Get on the way.
	No one's going to walk across the street to 7-Eleven to use the ATM or go to the bank to even find the nearest bank, right?
	So that's what we were talking about earlier.
	It's convenience.
	Just like Uber Eats, right?
	You're going to pay the fee so you can get your food delivered.
	You're not going to waste your time and run to the bank.
	You're going to just use the ATM, pay $3, and get your food and get ready to go to the club.
	Wait, wait.
	Unless you're a brokie.
	I mean, it's facts though.
	They get mad about $3, bro.
	Yeah, there are people like that.
	I mean, when I go fill up my ATMs, after I'm done filling them up, I might get some tacos myself because I love them myself.
	While I'm waiting there, I'll see that people, oh, it's cash only, and they'll see the ATM. They won't even go to it.
	They'll walk out and they'll leave.
	Yeah, because people, they're like, I don't want to pay $3, but at the end of the day, you know, it's more inconvenient for you to drive to the nearest bank than to just use the ATM and pay $3.
	Gas, warranty on your car.
	Gas, exactly.
	What I've realized is poor people spend money, no, poor people spend time to save money, rich people spend money to save time.
	That's the difference between the two.
	Facts.
	Yeah.
	I just hope that everyone in this chat, let's say you don't want to be super successful, at least successful to a point where you can make money, you don't have to worry about three bucks.
	Hopefully you can do that.
	Yeah, man, you want to get to that point at least.
	Guys, if you've got questions, by the way, you guys have got two very successful entrepreneurs here from the merchant standpoint and also from the ATM standpoint.
	If you've got questions, go ahead and get them in and you can go ahead and get them answered.
	We're going to have a Zoom call where we're going to be able to go in more depth with some of these answers.
	But yes, guys, what else do we got here?
	Anything else?
	Okay, question for Paul and Alex.
	Which one would be a better investment if everything goes digital, ATM machine or vending machine?
	Paul and Alex?
	Yeah, he thinks he's Alex or me.
	Whatever.
	So here's the good thing with that, okay?
	And I think we didn't get into it, but you want to tell them about UTMs real quick?
	Yeah, yeah.
	So to answer your question, we're actually getting ready to start working with UTMs.
	What's a UTM? So UTMs are essentially ATMs and Bitcoin machines, but in one.
	Yeah, I got one of those.
	You have a B. So now this is like, think of a hybrid bro.
	Traditional ATM and a BTM made a baby.
	I know.
	And they're coming out with like, checking cash.
	We might just swap yours.
	What about me?
	I'm not gonna lie, I've been slacking, so I'm gonna get on that.
	I'm doing car stuff though, I'm doing car stuff.
	That's true, that's true.
	Yeah, so essentially a UTM, just like Paul says, it's a hybrid of an ATM and Bitcoin.
	You know, you can withdraw cash, you can buy Bitcoin, and then sooner or later you're gonna be able to start doing the Apple Pay, the Bill Pay, Cashing checks and things like that.
	So that's, of course, what the future is.
	I mean, you guys got to think about it.
	You know, these companies that manufacture these ATMs, the UTMs, they're not going to get left behind.
	They're going to, of course, move the time.
	They're going to adapt, exactly.
	So, you know, UTMs were actually getting ready to launch it this month.
	Wow.
	And, you know, you want to let them know about the special offer?
	Yeah, so basically, guys, to answer the guy's question on the screen, it was that If you're going to go with one, just pick one, have that make you some money, and then reinvest that funds into the second option.
	I always tell people this because at the end of the day, look, a lot of people are like, oh, I need six, seven streams of income.
	But here's the thing.
	You know how many entrepreneurs I've talked to, or I've talked to in the past six, seven years, that go like, oh yeah, I do YouTube, I do t-shirts, I do car washes, I do exotic cars.
	I'm like, bro, which one do you do?
	Because...
	Like, there is no way.
	How many employees you got?
	Because without employees and you're doing all that, that means you're not making any money off of any of those streams.
	You gotta have a mainstream.
	You gotta have a mainstream.
	My mainstream, Humble Beginnings, it was ATMs.
	And then I used that money to work less time at PD. And then I learned digital marketing.
	And then once I got into digital marketing, made a name for myself, right?
	And then got approached by the merchant services guys.
	And they were like, hey, bro, you're...
	You're decent.
	Cool.
	Got into Merchant Services.
	Now that shit's growing to a $10 million company this year.
	And I just hired, like, my close friends.
	Hired good people that want to work and have skin in the game.
	And then, yeah, that's about it.
	So to go back to it, just pick and choose.
	Just do your due diligence.
	At the end of the day, the future UTMs is there.
	But also, this is fire right now, too.
	Yeah, they will.
	They work hand in hand.
	I was going to say, you guys are kind of cornering the market.
	Because on one end, if they want to use cash, ATMs are there.
	On the other end, I'm like, nah, I want to use credit cards or whatever.
	You guys got it on both ends, so it works.
	Yeah, you double dip.
	That's what we call it.
	Yeah, I'm getting myself...
	I built my ATM business.
	Now I'm also taking a little bit of merchant services seriously.
	And now I get to go into these businesses where I currently have an ATM and tell them, hey, if you ever decide that you want to take card, I could take care of you with merchant services as well.
	And also, you built trust beforehand with the ATM from before.
	So that relationship's already there.
	They're getting paid off the ATM. What else?
	Anything else that we got?
	Okay, and then they said that.
	Okay, bro, Vegas does that shit for sure.
	18% getting over.
	Yeah, I'm noticing that's in a lot of major cities.
	Especially where it's tourist heavy.
	What is the average cost to pay a local shop to host your ATM machine?
	This is a very good question.
	What's your guys' thoughts on this?
	Yeah, so you don't pay them a rent or upfront cost unless you're willing to invest in yourself.
	I actually just talked to a student who actually paid the merchant $500 just to install his ATM because sometimes money talks, right?
	Yeah, getting your foot in the door.
	Exactly.
	So you could go in there by just offering them a referral or paying them out a referral or paying them commissions per transaction.
	That's what I do.
	So whenever I install my ATMs.
	I let them know that it's 100% free to install.
	And depending on how the ATM does, I pay them 15 to 20% per transaction.
	That's smart.
	So then they're, in a sense, getting paid off commissions of what the ATM. So I don't pay out of pocket in case the ATM doesn't do well.
	Exactly.
	But I guess to start out, is it bad to give them a one-time, hey, let me install it 500 bucks and I'll give you 15, 20% on top of that, I guess, to swing the deal?
	I've done it a couple times.
	The location that I just mentioned, the Mexican restaurant, I paid the management $300 just to get my foot in the door because I've been chasing this location for three months.
	Gotcha.
	And I could not get a hold of the business owner.
	They were like, oh, it's confidential.
	We can't give you the number, the emails.
	And they were just giving me the runaround, right?
	Yeah.
	After three months, I was like, you know what?
	I talked to the manager.
	I was like, you know what?
	If you can get me in contact with the owner, I'll pay you $300.
	And she's just a Mexican manager managing a business.
	I was like, I'll pay you $300 if you can connect me with the owner.
	I kid you not.
	The next day, the business owner calls me.
	She's like, you're the ATM guy?
	Oh, okay.
	Let's meet tomorrow.
	And ever since then, you know.
	Boom.
	So sometimes it's important, guys.
	Especially if you don't have a repertoire like that yet or you're new to it.
	It might be worth it to pay a couple hundred dollars.
	It's important.
	Put the fucking ATM in.
	Now that thing makes you $4,000 a month.
	Exactly.
	People have three triggers.
	Either money, success, or need for, I want to say, an item, so to speak.
	It could be one of those three.
	So you hit that point of money.
	Yeah, that's a simple one.
	What else do we got here?
	Okay, this is from Heisenberg?
	Oh, okay.
	I know, we read that one before, so now you guys have an idea of what you can do.
	You don't mind, I just got my second credit card two months ago.
	How long should I wait to get my next one?
	It depends what kind of credit card you got, bro.
	But I would wait a few months.
	I mean...
	Just increase the limit on that one card that you guys got.
	Oh, wait a little bit.
	Increase the limits.
	Because you don't want to apply for too many credit cards at once.
	It hurts your credit score.
	WFNF, WCC, Castle Club, always adding value on the Money Monday.
	We got y'all, man.
	We want you guys to make money and become successful, too.
	I was in a merchant automation program.
	Only got one location, but they don't do well revenue-wise.
	It's been about seven, eight months.
	Lost about 60K on the program, but luckily I'm not a brokie and didn't get hurt losing that money.
	Investors started trading with Lambo Raul and made that money back, but other people consider because you're going to have a slow start.
	It might not be for you, but shout out Day Training Institute, Lambo Raul.
	You have anything you want to say back to this, Paul?
	Yeah, bro, like...
	You might have picked a bad location, right?
	No, well, number one, this could be freaking anybody.
	Like, go ahead and shoot me a DM or jump on an IG Live with me.
	Guarantee you won't.
	All right?
	Paul Alex, Instagram.
	Because here's the thing.
	Yeah, that's not one of your guys.
	If you were to come to me, if anybody was to come to me direct on Instagram, and you could get access of anybody, okay?
	Yeah, you could get even access to, like, fucking Jeff Bezos now.
	Dude, we will get you another location.
	We'll get you another location.
	This is why we've been in business since freaking for four years now.
	You guys did that for me.
	Second company.
	I remember the first location that gave us headaches.
	You guys took care of that.
	I'm like, yeah, we're going to just put another location.
	No questions asked.
	People don't understand this, dude.
	They don't understand the cost of good business, but then also referrals.
	Yeah.
	And then people are always like, how come I'm not making 30, 40, 50K? Because when I was teaching him the digital marketing game, I told him, look, dude, you're going to go ahead and you want to focus on one student at a time, right?
	Once you get employees, then get accountability managers.
	Make them successful and then get a testimonial.
	Because guess what?
	Testimonials work, bro.
	Yeah, they're important.
	People want to go ahead and actually hear it from the actual person that's using it.
	So at the end of the day, hey, it is what it is.
	It's very difficult to scam people in 2024, bro.
	Because if you've got a shitty product, word's going to get out.
	So I want to know, who did you go through?
	Pull that chat back up.
	Who did you go through, bro?
	Because I doubt you went through Paul.
	He's just saying it in general.
	Yeah, he's just saying it in general.
	But you didn't go through these guys.
	I know that.
	I know Raul, personally, it just depends on how much work you put in.
	It just depends.
	I mean, good stuff on making money before, but bro, you probably didn't go through these guys because I know for a fact you wouldn't lose that kind of money working with them because there's no way because if you wasn't making money, they would move it instantly.
	Like, so, something's off there.
	You probably went through...
	Are there, like, other...
	I'm guessing there's other people that do this?
	Bro.
	Like, on Instagram or online?
	So, when we first started doing this, bro, like, we got hated on by all the OGs in merchant services.
	So, like, remember how I just said psychopaths?
	Yeah.
	These motherfuckers, dude, they would do some crazy-ass shit.
	Like, they would call our customer service line and be like, hey...
	Like, they would try to fucking take our prospects, all types of shit, bro.
	It's fucking insane.
	Wow.
	Competition, man.
	Internet's insane.
	Yeah, bro.
	I want to know who you went through, because I know for a fact, because I've worked with them, they installed my ATM. And I remember, we had a guy, we tried to put it in a smoke shop, and the guy was being a fucking dumbass.
	He was being annoying.
	First he said yes, then we put it in, then he started giving them a little bit or whatever.
	They didn't even argue.
	Get them was like, man, fuck this guy.
	And he put it up in another place within a few days.
	Yeah.
	So, I know for a fact you ain't gonna lose money with these dudes.
	Especially in the beginning.
	No way.
	So something's off there.
	Okay, how does the giveaway work?
	Also, what's the minimum capital start with the credit card machines?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	So the giveaway is on Wednesday.
	It's going to be inside of our Facebook group called Cashless ATMs for Beginners.
	They're going to have the link Directly for their private group guys.
	So if you guys want to be part of this giveaway, it's essentially going to be a $15,000 business that we're going to be giving away.
	And for the cost of what, Myron?
	Literally, for the cost of...
	Two coffees!
	Chipotle with you and your buddy.
	Yeah.
	$35, yeah.
	Two coffees?
	Nigga, where are you getting coffee?
	Starbucks.
	$17 a coffee?
	$15 per coffee?
	No, that's because you get those stupid mocha lattes.
	You get them weird-ass drinks, man.
	Cookie crumble.
	Yeah, again, cookie crumble, weird-ass drinks, fresh, man.
	You'd be getting some weird, sussy drinks.

	We're doing a call right now, actually, on Castle Club.
	Yep.
	So, what else do we got here?
	One moment.
	Hey, man.
	My order at Starbucks is fire, man.
	Y'all niggas hate on me?
	My property.
	Alex, with ATM or automation programs suit the Bay Area, specifically San Francisco, and is it scalable?
	Start.
	Yeah, go ahead and just contact one of our consultants.
	They're going to go ahead and have the most updated information on that.
	I'm sort of confused on the ATM or the automation program.
	I think you're saying for both.
	For both, yeah.
	I know for the credit card machines right now, yes, that's open.
	I know that for a fact.
	For the ATM, that might be saturated area, but just confirm.
	We'll give you guys the contact information so you guys can go ahead and actually contact one of our consultants.
	Boom.
	What do we got next?
	Hey guys, would I be able to start an ATM business with no time or hands-on dealings while being in another country?
	As long as you're a U.S. citizen, yes.
	Dude, they do everything for you.
	They make the LLC. They literally do everything for you.
	You know how I know it's automated?
	He forgot about it.
	By the way, you want to show your results, bro?
	Yeah, sure, sure, sure.
	Let's do it.
	Let's do it.
	So guys, what you're seeing right here is actually a screenshot of Myron's location.
	On average, our clients are getting about $300 a month.
	That's on average.
	So you can see, I mean, it goes up and down.
	I did see random transactions.
	I was like, what is this?
	But now I know.
	It's full transparency, guys.
	So this is just based off of one...
	Yeah.
	Guys, how many of you guys are making two to three hundred bucks an hour?
	Think about it like that because that's how much your time you're giving up So at the end of the day when you look at it passive income is the way to go.
	Yeah Yeah, and then and then my It fluctuates.
	My ATM makes me between three on the low end all the way up to like a thousand bucks a month.
	So like, guys, it's money that just comes in that I don't even...
	You know what I mean?
	It just...
	I don't have to work for.
	So, again, I wouldn't be telling y'all to get in if it didn't benefit me in some way.
	Like, hell, y'all saw it right there, man.
	I forgot about it.
	Goddammit.
	That's their Chipotle budget.
	Yeah.
	So there you go.
	Pays for my Chipotle, man.
	And for some of you guys, like, that might be...
	Your phone bill, that might be a good portion of your rent.
	Hey man, it is what it is.
	Cutting it right in half.
	Yeah, so for some of y'all.
	And Gorilla Mind.
	Yeah, there you go.
	What else we got here?
	Oh, is it better to have an ATM business under an LLC or under an S Corp?
	That is a tax question.
	We talked about this with our buddy...
	Steve.
	We might give you guys an episode with Steve, actually, because we're going to be going to Sarasota.
	But long story short, man, if you're making $50,000 per year or more, you want to go ahead and make it an S-Corp.
	But if you have a W-2 job, then you definitely want to make an S-Corp.
	We did a whole episode on this, guys.
	Please go back and look at it.
	Money Monday.
	On Money Monday with Steve, and we talked about S-Corps and LLCs and when to differentiate between the two or turn your LLC into an S-Corp.
	So please go check that out.
	Nick Cortez.
	Maybe episode W. Paul.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Yep, I did that.
	I got a mentor and now I'm leveraging credit.
	Thanks, Myron and Fresh.
	You guys saved my life.
	Can't wait to meet y'all.
	Notice how the guys in Cal State Club are actually taking action and made money.
	Well, guys, we're doing a yacht party June 28th here in Miami.
	I'll see you guys there.
	Okay, but the Into the BTM program placed an order for BTM about two months ago and still no shimmy.
	Do you know what the holdup is?
	Yeah, no worries.
	Shoot me a DM, Instagram, Paul Alex directly.
	Make sure that you screenshot that and send it to me, and then I'll get it done tonight.
	I'll get you answered tonight.
	There you go.
	I have 6K saved up.
	I want to start in the ATM business, and I feel a little bit confused on how to get an ATM and how to run it.
	Any advice for a beginner?
	I see new and old ATM models.
	Does that matter?
	Yeah, yeah.
	So, number one, limited beliefs.
	You've got to get rid of them.
	You've got to believe in yourself.
	You've got to take action, right?
	Imperfect action.
	You can get started in the ATM business with $6,000 to $8,000 if you want to get started by yourself.
	Again, just take advantage of the free resources, right?
	We have a free Facebook group, ATM Business for Beginners, where I actually go live every single Tuesday at 7 p.m.
	Central, 5 p.m.
	Pacific, 8 p.m.
	Eastern.
	And I just give you guys a bunch of information on starting your own ATM business for free, right?
	So you could go the free route.
	Now, if you want to work with a mentorship and, you know, you want someone to guide you throughout your entire process, make sure that you even take advantage of the free giveaway.
	Hey, Juan, real quick.
	So for the dude that has a 6K, let's say if they want to do it by themselves, do the breakdown right now, bro.
	Yeah, so if you wanted to get started with your...
	Get your pens and papers out, fuckers.
	If you want to get started all on your own, right, with 6K, 2500 to 2700, depending on which ISO you work with, is already for the ATM, right?
	What kind of ATM model are they going to get?
	A standard GenMega 2500 or a Hyosan Halo 2.
	Okay.
	Bam.
	There you go.
	That is, you know, beginner-friendly.
	It's the best machine that you can start off as a beginner.
	2500 to 2700 bucks just for the ATM. Okay.
	LLCs, it depends.
	Depending on the state, they vary from $35 to $500 a month.
	Not a month, sorry.
	Just to start your LLC. So that, it's already for your LLC. And then after that, guys, it's just miscellaneous expenses like tools, which ranges about $500.
	And vocash, right?
	The vocash, the money you're going to actually use to fill up your ATM, that ranges from $1,000 to $3,000.
	So the total, about $6,000 to $8,000 to get started with your first ATM. Okay.
	Total startup cost is going to cost you about $6,000.
	Correct.
	Between purchasing the ATM, cash to put in the ATM, setting it up, everything.
	Expenses.
	Everything.
	All included $6,000 to $8,000 if you get started by yourself.
	Okay.
	And you told them which machine to get, the two machines that you think are the best for a beginner.
	Yeah, Hyosung Halo 2 and a Genmega 2500.
	Each machine, they range from 25 to 2700 bucks.
	And also, I saw that in the comment, he's like, don't buy used.
	If you're brand new in the business...
	You told the story about that, buying used is why it's fucked up.
	So I actually had a student who bought used.
	After a couple of ATMs, he decided to go the used route.
	And it turned out that the ATM was locked.
	He had to send out the whole computer of the ATM to the manufacturer so they began to reset.
	And it's just a headache.
	It's a headache time.
	It cost him like an extra $600.
	So it ended up costing him the same amount of just buying a brand new ATM, right?
	So that's number one.
	Number two, when you buy brand new, you get a two-year warranty from the manufacturer, right?
	And you know that it's 100% new.
	It's yours.
	You don't have to worry about anything.
	When it's new, I mean, when it's used, you're dealing with, like, it could potentially come with scammers or it could be, you know, it's like buying a used car.
	You don't know what you're buying at the end of the day, right?
	You can look under the hood.
	You can look, you know, at the paint.
	Could have been a rental.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You never know.
	You don't ever know if, you know, a month or two months from now, you know, freaking the dispenser messes up on the ATM, right?
	I had a friend buy a used STO. It just blew up.
	Oh, shit.
	I was like, what the heck, bro?
	That's a half a million dollar car, bro.
	Yeah, it's a lot of money.
	Wow.
	Just do it in flames.
	Wow.
	Done.
	So, yeah, I mean, there you go.
	There's some tips right there on getting a brand new one.
	And then they explained earlier where to put it, how to negotiate, how you're going to put it.
	It might cost you a little bit of money to put it up front, talking to the business owner, but that might be worth it because if it's a cash business, You're making $4,000 a month passively.
	That's the gem right there because speaking to business owners is not easy.
	They're dealing with a lot of clients every single day, customers.
	They don't want to be annoyed.
	But bringing cash to the deal up front, hey man, that's a W. Guys, off this episode alone, you can literally, you already know now how to get your first ATM off this episode.
	For free!
	You know, for free.
	They just explain it to you what machine to buy, how much to put in it, how much it's going to cost you to set up.
	Off of that alone, you guys can literally take your money and go buy a fucking ATM right now and get started.
	Hey, Paul, what happens if someone breaks into a liquor store and steals an ATM? Yeah, that's an L, you know?
	They steal your ATM, you just got to replace it, but they also got insurance.
	You guys can go ahead and buy insurance for like 50 bucks a month if you guys want to.
	At the end of the day, some...
	To your warranty, too, when you buy a brand new, guys.
	Does it cover theft?
	No.
	No?
	Unfortunately.
	Still ATMs, bro.
	It's rare, bro.
	It's very difficult to do.
	Anytime they've ever seen it done, they break in, typically after hours, and then they have to chain the fucking ATM because they're heavy, bro.
	Yeah.
	They have to chain it and then drag it with a truck.
	Most people are going to do that to get $1,000.
	Yeah, nowadays it's not worth it.
	Good question for you guys.
	How much should you keep in your ATM at all times?
	Should you have $500 in there?
	Should you have $1,000 in there?
	What denomination should you have to make it the most appealable where you can make the most money and also not mitigate risk?
	What do you guys think?
	Yeah, I mean, I'm going to say like three grand.
	Three grand in there?
	That's going to be like the average and then $20 denominations is...
	Just 20s?
	Straight 20s?
	That's what I was saying.
	No hundreds, none of that bullshit.
	Yeah, the Hyosung or the Genmegas, they only stick with one denomination, 20s or 5s or 10s, whatever you want to set it to, but it's usually just one.
	And that's what I would recommend to anyone to use it.
	And how often are you going to...
	Well, it depends on the traffic of the business, right?
	Yeah.
	How often are you guys typically going in there and change?
	Well, not you, but probably your employees.
	But, like, how often are you going in there?
	So, it just depends on what you want to do, right?
	So, I have businesses where I'll throw in, like, $2,000 to $3,000, and it'll be good for the week.
	I have other ETFs where it'll be $2,000 to $3,000.
	It'll go out in a couple days.
	So, then you'll have to fill it up with more.
	If you don't want to throw in a lot of money in there for the safety reasons, then you could always visit the location often, right?
	And...
	But is it dangerous to put $5,000, $10,000 in there as an ATM? I mean, nowadays, it's not worth breaking into ATMs.
	Out of the four and a half years that I've been in the business, I've had one attempt, and they couldn't even get into the ATM. So one gem for you guys real quick.
	What I do with my ATMs, when I install them, I push them all up against the wall, which not a lot of people do.
	They just show up and install.
	What I do is I push them all up against the wall so that when, you know...
	The main way to break into ATM, they wrap a chain, right?
	They can't wrap a chain at that point because the ATM has pushed the ball up against the wall.
	So there's no way of wrapping anything around it, right?
	And then the drill to the floor, you can have tracking in there, tilt sensors, so like someone's banging it or trying to tilt it, it starts ringing, you get a notification on your phone.
	There you go.
	Those are different little...
	Tricks you can do.
	Tricks you can implement.
	So that you can go ahead and put a bit more in it.
	Because for some guys starting off in the beginning, do they want to go there every week?
	They might be like, fuck this shit.
	And then also I think a good thing is like, does the business have security?
	Exactly.
	They got security.
	Then you can put a little bit more money in there.
	So that's something as well to keep in mind.
	But guys, bro, there's so much sauce we're giving you all this episode, man.
	Goddamn.
	Big facts.
	PM Yell about BTM. Been nine months since install vendor unplug machine.
	I can't pay out vendor work market because rejecting IRS forms.
	IRS info is accurate.
	Deleted account made another same issue.
	I have no idea what he's saying.
	He's saying he private messaged y'all about the BTM in nine months.
	DM me.
	DM me directly politics if this is real.
	But yeah, DM me politics at Instagram.
	Or get him.
	Yeah.
	Get him is real responsive.
	I don't know why.
	Just say you came from the podcast.
	Yeah.
	If anyone realistically wants to make a change for themselves or their family and start an ATM business, hit me up on IG. Let's see what we can do.
	Kyle died.
	Oh, that's Kyle.
	That's one of the consultants.
	That's one of your guys?
	Okay, I just want to make sure.
	Go to Kyle.
	Okay, if they got questions, can they DM him right now?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Okay, guys, any of you guys who are talking about nine months or whatever the fuck, like, message Kyle or get him?
	Because get him is real responsive, so I don't know if you message him.
	So get him, he's CEO of Merchant Automation now.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, he, this is the main DM. Okay.
	Yeah, so his IG, drop your IG, bro.
	Yeah, any ATM-related questions, you guys can DM me to my Instagram.
	TheJuanGeronimo.
	T-H-E-J-U-A-N-J-E-R-O-N-I-M-O. That's my personal Instagram.
	Anyone that reaches out to me, I reply right away.
	Let's try to see if we can pull it up.
	We'll pull it up on screen real fast.
	That's a long name, bro.
	TheJuanGeronimo.
	One more time!
	Yeah, G-E-R-O-N-I-M-O, right?
	Yeah, J-E-R-O-N-I-M-O. Isn't that what they say when you jump?
	Geronimo!
	Geronimo!
	This guy, man.
	Hey, the money's jumping, bro.
	The money's jumping.
	All right, what else do we got?
	Then we got to get into the Zoom call because it's already 9 o'clock.
	Any other chats?
	If they're a castle club, we could just go on...
	We'll go in there.
	I'll read these, then we'll read the castle clubs behind.
	Addison Gray.
	How long does the business take to start?
	Good question, Addison Gray.
	Less than 30 days for both.
	Okay.
	And keep in mind that they set it up for you.
	They set up the ATM, everything going between you paying and everything.
	We're talking about 30 days?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And they picked a location for you too, guys, by the way.
	Addison Gary goes, how long does the business...
	Oh, no.
	Okay.
	Another one goes, I have two jobs.
	How much do I need to do after I get the account?
	Oh, I guess to maintain the machines.
	Oh, okay, okay.
	He has two jobs.
	Okay, how much do I need to do after I get the account?
	Okay, so I guess once he has the ATM up and running.
	What's his workload, basically?
	Well, that's the great thing about the ATM business.
	It's flexible.
	You make your own schedule.
	You're your own boss, you know.
	So if you work two jobs, just make sure that you take care of your ATM. You fill it up with enough so that...
	That's really the main responsibility is just filling it up.
	That's all you have to do.
	Is honestly what it is.
	Yeah, so...
	Yeah and then the second thing is guys if you're going for this approach I mean because you have two different businesses here you guys could go ahead and install this the first month which my team actually programs and installs it for you so they drop ship it to the owner for me and then they do the Wi-Fi so you don't even got to be there and then you could double dip too so if you guys want to go ahead and let's say they have an ATM at the location well guess what if they want a discount on their item or their service then boom they're gonna have to get the fee from the ATM Or they're going to have to pay the credit card fee,
	so you're getting paid both ways.
	Cornering the market, guys.
	Cornering the market.
	What else do we got here?
	Lynn goes, you recommend still being a cop?
	Yes, if you're in it for the right reasons.
	At the end of the day, when I was a cop, guys, and I became a detective, I did it because of the love of the game.
	I worked in one of the most dangerous cities in America, Oakland, and I saw some wild shit over there, but at the end of the day, that's what built me up to be a leader.
	So if you want to become a leader, put yourself in uncomfortable situations that's going to make you learn as a person.
	Same thing with Myron.
	Myron was an HSI, and I used to work with a lot of HSI agents, and they're very smart people.
	So at the end of the day, your network is your net worth.
	I leveled up.
	One of my CEOs, get him.
	He was a sergeant of police.
	So at the end of the day, you're going to meet a lot of great people, but do it for the right reasons.
	Don't just do it for the money.
	Yeah, if you're doing it for the money, you're never going to last, bro.
	Yeah, there's a lot of overtime you can be made, bro, but it's just, yeah, you're not going to last.
	It's a six-figure career, but if you don't do it for the right reasons, dude, you're going to be one of those fucking guys.
	You know the guys that always bitch about money and shit like that?
	They're fucking salty, bro.
	Yeah, they're salty and shit.
	You've got to do it for the right reasons, man.
	Why wouldn't the business do it themselves?
	Yeah, that's a great question.
	So on the credit card machine side, you have to become an ISO, so an independent sales organization.
	Just think about like your cell phone, guys.
	You guys need AT&T or Verizon, right?
	Well, here's the thing.
	Most business owners, good business owners, they know how to delegate, right?
	This is why we have employees and all that jazz.
	So essentially, if they try to set up their own credit card machine, they need the network.
	It's not going to work without the network.
	So when you go to the bank, guess what?
	They're going to say like, oh, well, who's providing you the network?
	And if you say yourself, then guess what?
	You're a money service business.
	And once you become an MSB, the bank, it could take up to six months.
	It's not worth it for the owner to do it themselves.
	They have to go through somebody like our company.
	And same thing with the ATM, right?
	Exactly with the ATMs.
	Being an MSB is difficult too.
	Federal regulations and shit like that.
	Different standard.
	Alright, anything else?
	Bobby, how much can I make of the credit card account?
	Yeah, so it's going to be on average $300, but I got clients that are making up to $2,000 per account.
	It's just like Juan said, even with the ATM, you can make $4,000 depending.
	If you got a dispenser, you got a nightclub, something like that.
	It's all about location, location, location, guys.
	Yeah.
	What else?
	You guys got some good questions here, man.
	Anything else?
	No, we're good.
	All right, guys.
	So we're going to go over to Castle Club, man.
	We're going to go ahead and do the giveaway over there.
	We're going to give you guys a special link on there.
