	Thank you.
	What's up guys?
	Welcome to Friendship Podcast.
	We're here with the legend himself, Brandon Carter.
	Let's get into it, baby!
	Let's go!
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Alright, we are back.
	What's up, guys?
	Welcome to the Pressure Podcast.
	Regular edition.
	It's Money Monday.
	We're here with Brandon Carter, man.
	And, of course, this dude Frank got to put himself right in the middle, man.
	Anyway, guys, quick notice where it gets to the show.
	CastleClub.tv, as you guys know, that is a home base for us.
	I am currently reacting to the most banned...
	Documentary on the internet, which I won't even say because we're live on a couple platforms that would get mad about it.
	But you guys already know what it is.
	I might react to some of it tonight after we do our news segment.
	We'll see where we go on time.
	Earlier we had General Flynn on.
	Great interview.
	We talked about the deep state, working under the Bush administration, being in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
	Trump.
	20K plus watching, by the way.
	Twitter and everything.
	Oh, really?
	Twitter and shit?
	Oh, I didn't know.
	20K, huh?
	All right, nice.
	Let's go.
	Nice.
	I didn't see the Twitter numbers because Mo was running it in the back.
	Shout out to Mo for making it happen.
	Great interview.
	We're going to bring him back into part two and we're going to talk about the Obama administration.
	We didn't get a chance to talk about that and how the FBI came after him.
	But anyway.
	Without further ado.
	Without further ado.
	Welcome back.
	Oh man, I'm happy to be back.
	We're happy to have you.
	It's been a while.
	It's been too long.
	I kid you not, brother.
	Every time you come back, you got a new watch or new jewelry.
	What's going on, man?
	You got to keep elevating, man.
	If you're not getting better, you're getting worse.
	You mean why I wear the same clothes?
	God damn it, man.
	Yo, his camera roll, it's the same shirt.
	Now, he had a Rolex last time I was on.
	I still have them.
	I just don't wear them as much, but I still have them in the safe.
	I wear my Ultra sometimes when I'm working out.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, you know, where's yours?
	He got you.
	Remember?
	Oh, yeah.
	I gave him one.
	Yeah.
	Next topic.
	You know what's crazy?
	So, chat, I didn't realize, man, and I gotta apologize, Brandon, about this on camera.
	So he comes in, right?
	And I'm like, hey, what up?
	And I'm thinking, like, you know, just another day in office, right?
	And, you know, he's like, oh, yeah, nice studio, bro.
	I'm like, I'm looking, I'm crazy.
	I'm like, bro, you've been here before?
	He's like, no, I haven't been to this new one.
	And I was like, oh, my God, it's been that fucking long.
	And I was like, yo, let me give you a tour!
	Like, what the hell?
	So I felt like an asshole for a bit, so I'm sorry for that, bro.
	I didn't realize, man.
	Listen, I thought it was my fault.
	I thought I made y'all mad when I said it was cool for women to have jobs.
	I thought that got me banned.
	And I was like, damn, man, my fault.
	I thought it was cool to put a hoe to work.
	You know what I'm saying?
	But I thought y'all had different views, you know what I'm saying?
	No, the chat missed you as well, bro.
	The chat, you know, love and hate, but they missed you a lot, though.
	Oh, man.
	I'm happy to be back, man.
	You know, I always love it when I hear it.
	You guys are going to see them a lot more.
	I just really...
	You know what it is?
	They missed the money talk.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The money talk, you know what I'm saying?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	That's what they want to hear.
	And for those of you that are wondering, I remember how I told you guys that story, how I took a chance at myself and I spent that first $6,000 I got on Brandon Carter's program, and then that was what catapulted me into getting into social media, how I became a multimillionaire.
	That's thanks to this guy right here.
	That's who I'm talking about, taking that risk with Brandon Carter.
	I'll never forget, this was 2019?
	I jumped on a call with him.
	Was it 2019?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, because it was right before the pandemic.
	Yes.
	Yes, it was right before.
	So, yeah, man.
	And then now, fast forward, what, five years now almost?
	Yeah.
	Five years.
	And we're here now having a podcast talking about how far has the students, straight from the master.
	No, it's all good.
	I'm fucking proud.
	Myron did the work, but it was dope to see him go from working his regular job to making enough money to quit and then y'all coming together to build a podcast.
	I remember when y'all came out with that first digital product.
	Myron hit me up.
	I went through Zoom helping you map it out.
	Dates on Demand was the call.
	That was during the pandemic.
	And just to see where y'all have taken it.
	I'm happy to have played some role in that.
	It was super helpful and we're happy to have you here.
	So you can give the sauce to some of these people here.
	Because you coach a lot of influencers behind the scenes.
	You just don't talk about it much.
	Yeah, you know, and it's like some of them, you know, don't really, you know, they don't really want that.
	And that's cool, man.
	That's lame.
	That's fucking lame.
	They don't want to give people their flowers, bro.
	But it's like, you know, there's been a lot of, especially in the fitness.
	In the fitness industry, like, a lot of influencers, like, came up, you know, under my tutelage to a certain degree, right?
	But they, I mean, they did the work, right?
	I just provided the coaching and the game plan and helped them navigate.
	They probably would have got there anyway, right?
	Because the winners are going to win, no matter what, right?
	If y'all didn't meet me, y'all ought to find a way to make it some way.
	Y'all ought to found a way.
	But you made it faster and smoother, though.
	Yeah, that's what it is when you have, like, somebody who's...
	Walk the path for you, right?
	If you have a coach or a teacher or...
	Especially us, coming from working regular jobs, we didn't come in as influencers like a lot of people, right?
	I look at a lot of these influencers now, they're fucking kids, bro!
	They just come right into the social media world.
	For us, we have regular jobs, we're adults, so it's like another world to come into making money online.
	That's a fact.
	I mean, you know, I needed it too, right?
	Like Elliot Holtz was that for me back in the day because he was the first motherfucker who wasn't, the first guy to hit a million subscribers in the fitness industry who wasn't white.
	You know what I mean?
	He's one of us.
	Was he really the first?
	Okay.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You know, and damn, it's like, yo, this yellow motherfucker did it, man, just like me, man.
	And I was like, oh, not only did he show me the path, but he...
	Seeing someone else do it, it's like, oh, it can be done.
	Like a bitch nigga, like a hater.
	Can I say bitch nigga?
	Okay, a bitch nigga.
	I don't know what's going on.
	I don't know about Rumble.
	I don't know about all that other shit.
	You know, he was the first one to do it.
	So a bitch nigga would see that and be like, oh man, fuck him, he only did this and start talking shit.
	But I was like, yo man, put me on.
	Like, how'd you do it?
	And he gave me like a lot of game.
	He's like a big brother to me.
	And it's dope to be able to like pass that on.
	The same way y'all doing with the people that y'all help.
	You feel me?
	It's like, that's a part of it.
	You know, that's how the species evolves.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like when you was born, There was already roads made, right?
	There was a hospital that was already built.
	A nigga who had went to school to help your mom deliver you and shit.
	And you, you know what I'm saying, like that hut was already made, my nigga.
	You know what I'm saying?
	There was already coconuts at the crib that somebody grew.
	You feel me?
	There was a witch doctor there helping you.
	Oh my God!
	But you ain't have to do that shit, right?
	Because somebody had already did it before you, and they made the path smoother.
	You know what I'm saying?
	And that's how the species evolves, especially like, you know, I don't know if y'all still fuck with black people, but in my brain, I've been thinking like, oh, like, niggas, you know, like, it's like somebody...
	Well, I do, okay?
	I fucks with my niggas, man.
	You know, all people, right?
	But at the same time, it's like, you know, especially like, you know, it's...
	Coming from some of the environments that we come from, it can feel like really hopeless.
	Like I'm from the south side of Chicago, right?
	So it's like, it feels like hopeless there.
	That's why it makes sense to fucking join a gang, shoot niggas, sell crack, right?
	Because you don't feel like there's no hope.
	Yeah.
	You know, you don't, I go back to the hood and I know them kids don't think they're going to be fucking hedge fund managers or fucking CEOs or even alive, like on some real shit.
	And I just feel like for me, a big responsibility is It's like, nah, nah, you can do it, fam.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You can do it real business.
	And even though you don't fuck with black niggas, I fuck with you.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You might be black.
	But I fuck with everybody.
	There's a special thing in my heart just because that's where I come from.
	You feel me?
	Yeah, I appreciate that, man.
	I'll fuck with you though, bro.
	No, I'll fuck with it all.
	I'll fuck with all guys' people, man.
	Exactly.
	So, I guess real quick, you gave a little bit of your background.
	For those that might not know who you are, can you give them a quick little background on how you got into this world and what you did before?
	Oh yeah, if they don't know me, I'm Brandon Carter, aka Big Brandon Carter, BBC, King Keto, King of Ketosis, Gymnasium Jesus.
	Jesus de Gymnasio para mi gente, Washington Heights.
	What the heck?
	Mo knows what I'm talking about, you know what I'm saying?
	No, I grew up on the south side of Chicago, and you know some wild shit?
	I don't know if I ever told this part of the story, but...
	So we grew up real poor.
	One of my first memories is my mom waking me up at 5...
	Taking me to preschool because she had to get on the bus, right?
	We have a car to go to work and we got robbed in the fucking Chicago snow and the nigga put the gun in my face On some like because my mom froze right now give me the fucking purse bitch, right?
	And uh, so that's kind of where that's that's south side Chicago.
	How old were you?
	I was like four or five, you know, I was going to preschool or kindergarten or some shit and um And fast forward, like my dad, I lived with my dad, right?
	I thought I was rich growing up because I was the only nigga with a dad.
	Right, it's two incomes, it's like it makes a difference, right?
	I was the only nigga with a dad.
	That's why they rock you.
	He's fortunate.
	He's like, oh, you got two parents?
	He's fortunate.
	He got that dad money, man.
	No, I felt like I was rich.
	And even though we didn't have a car and shit.
	And my dad was working on his business.
	And this whole time he was working on his business.
	I ain't seen him much, even though he lived with us, because he was just hustling, grinding real hard, but, you know, and that was all good.
	I got sent away to military school for high school because I got in some trouble.
	Like, nothing crazy, just like, you know, fights, skipping school, shootouts, you know, normal kid shit.
	And then I'm in military school.
	In Chicago, it's normal.
	Yeah, you know, regular Chicago shit.
	And I'm in military school.
	And by the time, that's when his business starts to take off, right?
	And by the time I graduated, this nigga was making $3 million a year.
	Oh shit.
	In fucking 1990.
	Wow.
	Right?
	That's easily doubled now.
	Six million probably today with inflation.
	I did the math.
	It's eight million.
	It's eight million.
	Okay.
	Damn.
	Yeah, that's crazy.
	Eight million today.
	So I go to college, right?
	I go to Howard University, right?
	By the time I graduate, my dad lost all the money.
	He fucked it all up.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So you ain't getting another one.
	I didn't even experience it, my nigga.
	I knew it happened, but I was gone in military school when he was on the come up, and I was at college on the come down, right?
	So by the time we come out, we broke again, and this nigga kills itself, right?
	What's up?
	Just real quick, could you tell the audience, if you know, how he lost the money?
	Because I think that's important too, how to manage the money as well.
	And that's what led to the self-deletion, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	We're going to talk about some of that shit, because there's a difference between getting money and keeping it.
	It's two different skill sets.
	Trust me, I know.
	You know, and you've probably seen a lot of, I would imagine, just some guests who've been on here talking about getting money, and if you see them now, man, he's just downsizing, selling Lambos and shit, right?
	Because...
	Do you remember the crypto bounce when everyone was like, in the clubs?
	Bro, the niggas are gone.
	Some of them are in jail, by the way.
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, I mean, because getting money and maintaining it are two different skill sets.
	Yeah.
	And they don't mean the same thing.
	There's a lot of lessons in there in my dad's, you know, losing my dad.
	When you lose, don't lose the lesson, you know?
	And he stopped doing the things that got him there.
	Right?
	He was working really hard, hustling.
	And he ran a sales business, if I'm not mistaken.
	Yeah, he was doing sales.
	Guys, it was legal.
	It wasn't for those or anything else.
	It was legal.
	I mean, he was a fucking gangsta nigga before that shit.
	Like, he was in gangs and shit.
	He didn't...
	He'd never met his parents.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, he was an orphan.
	And he just grew up, like, literally on the streets and shit.
	Like, he was like a fucking...
	Full-blown gang member, gang leader, shit, and then, you know, he started to figure it out.
	Probably against your disciples or something.
	I don't want to say.
	I don't want to say.
	That's fine.
	Chicago, yeah, GD or BD, one of the two.
	Because, you know, fuck that shit.
	I got to go back.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I understand, I understand.
	When I was born, he started taking life seriously.
	But once he got it, he's still a straight nigga.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So he didn't learn how to keep it.
	He started investing into some of the shit.
	I'm sorry, not investing.
	He started like...
	Indulging in the fruits of his labor.
	One of the big things was gambling.
	He's gambling his ass off.
	And he lost literally all the money.
	And then he said he voluntarily left earth.
	When I was in my early 20s.
	And for me, that was like, oh shit, I gotta get serious about life.
	It's time to get for real serious.
	And I tried a bunch of different shit, you know.
	I did a bunch of shit.
	Some of the shit I don't even know.
	Some of the shit, like, my room would have been, like, hunting me.
	You know what the fuck?
	Like, my room would have been looking into the shit.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, you know, because I was just trying to come up, you know.
	And...
	No diddy shit, right?
	No diddy shit.
	Just clarifying for the audience.
	I used to live in New York, but I lived in Miami for like a year in 2007.
	And I would go up and down I-95 from New York to Miami, if anyone can read between those lines.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	How was your drive?
	No, it was a good drive.
	That was on my father's way down, so we didn't really have the money.
	He was still alive then, but then he got killed.
	Oh, so he was alive?
	Well, he was broke at that time.
	By the time I graduated from college, he was broke again.
	He was trying to come up, at least that's what he was telling me.
	And then I started...
	Was he still gambling at that point, you think?
	He was still gambling?
	No, I know.
	Oh, you know it.
	I know.
	Because I would go with him.
	I didn't know.
	I was a kid.
	I just looked up to the nigga, right?
	So I was like, he'll get it back.
	He that nigga, you know?
	I didn't realize how...
	Would he go to Vegas and do it?
	Or was it...
	Nah, they had their riverboats in Gary, Indiana.
	Or like right outside Chicago.
	Yeah, from the south side, you can drive to Gary or Indiana.
	It's not that far.
	You know what I'm saying?
	It's quick.
	Just right over the border and you can gamble.
	Yeah, you can gamble.
	So he used to go over there.
	Okay.
	And then...
	Gary, Indiana is tough, bro.
	So I was doing a lot of different shit, you know what I'm saying?
	Okay, so right after college, I was training people, and I was doing a modeling.
	I modeled for Nike, Adidas, Pumas, but they don't pay a whole lot, right?
	But I was like, oh, I know what to do with this money.
	And that's when I came to Miami, and I would go back and forth.
	I invested the money into an asset class.
	I invested the money into an alternative asset class.
	But when he left Earth, and then my homie Esco got killed.
	And then my other boys in Miami, he got...
	SV, he got sent double life.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Double homicide, right?
	So I was like, oh shit, I gotta get my life together.
	And it was from being in the game, right?
	Well, yeah, yeah.
	It's like, you know, when...
	Your life is a reflection of your behavior, right?
	Like, we're all living...
	The results of our past behavior.
	You get what I'm saying?
	The things we did in the past, we're living the results of them now.
	You get what I'm saying?
	So it's almost like we're living in the past.
	Does that make sense?
	Right?
	And the things we do, if we want our future to be different than our present, we got to do things different now than we did in the past.
	In the current.
	You get what I'm saying?
	So I just looked at people...
	It sounds like a simple concept, but it's so difficult for so many people to actually understand this shit.
	It's real shit.
	So that's why I was like, you know what?
	I see what's happening to everybody around me.
	He's doing life.
	You know, Esco got killed.
	Fucking my dad.
	You know, like, all right.
	You become like the people you're around, so I got to change everything.
	So then, you know, I stopped doing anything that was immoral or illegal.
	And I was like, listen, I'm just going to...
	I still got to take care of my family because my dad's there, right?
	So I started just working regular jobs.
	What year did you kind of have this epiphany?
	This was exactly the end of 2007.
	Leading into the recession of 08.
	So I said, fuck this shit.
	I'm still a G. So I started waking up.
	Instead of having a pity party for myself, I started waking up at 4, training people in the morning.
	And you're living in New York City at this point.
	I was living in Queens, right?
	And I would take the train from Queens to Harlem, train people at 145th, the New York Sports Club.
	I shower there, boom.
	Then I go to the Prada store in Soho and work security for like eight hours a day.
	And then I would work for a moving company after that.
	And that was five days a week.
	And on the weekends, I woke up early to train people.
	Excuse me.
	And then I managed a restaurant in Queens on Steinway Street.
	I was a weekend manager after that.
	So this is like 12, 14 hour days, seven days a week.
	I did that shit for two years.
	But then I wasn't broke no more.
	Right?
	So like that's one of the things I'd be preaching, man.
	Like anybody can get some more money if you're willing to put in the work.
	But you know, a lot of people are not willing to make those kind of sacrifices.
	Yeah.
	So you were never ever actually broke.
	It's just that you just didn't have time.
	You were broke of time.
	Yeah, you were broke of time.
	A healthy man in a first world country, being broke is a choice.
	You don't have to do it.
	You just have to make sacrifices.
	And I was willing to sacrifice everything.
	You know what I'm saying?
	No parties, no going out, you don't drink, you don't do drugs.
	Nah, nah, nah, nah.
	I drank and did drugs at that time, but I didn't have time for it.
	So that's actually a cheat code.
	So you did it, you protected it, but you just didn't do it because you couldn't.
	Yeah, I wasn't trying not to.
	But I realized that's a cheat code too, right?
	If anybody who has some fucking vices that they want to get rid of, Yo, just fill your calendar up with other shit.
	Crowd it out.
	Yeah.
	Then you won't have time to do this shit.
	And it was easy.
	And so when I finally officially quit smoking weed and drinking, which was like 10 years ago, it was easy.
	Because I wasn't really...
	I never really had a bunch of time for it by choice anyway.
	And it's funny.
	People have one job, and then once they get off work, they got all that free time.
	You got like, what, two or three jobs?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So you had no time at all to mess around.
	Yeah, no.
	No time to fuck around.
	What does it say?
	Idle hands lead to...
	Doing devil's work.
	I made 100 grand each year doing those things, those jobs.
	In 2007?
	Or close to it, during the recession.
	That's what I'm saying.
	You can outwork poverty if you got enough energy and if you got enough gumption.
	100K, New York City, 2007?
	That's pretty fucking good, man.
	That's not bad.
	That's pretty fucking good.
	And the way you get rich is you got to make more money than you spend and invest the difference.
	You do that over a long enough period of time, you'll have some bread.
	Compound interest.
	I was still living in Queens.
	I like that.
	Say that one more time for the people because that really is the formula.
	You make more money than you spend and invest the difference.
	Over a long enough period of time, you'll have some bread because of compound interest.
	Especially if you put into asset classes that appreciate over time.
	And that could be real estate, it could be the stock market, or your own business.
	Yep.
	Right?
	Even if you're trying to put it into your side hustle.
	And the beauty is, your net worth can go up, even if you make less money, if you put your money into the right assets.
	Exactly.
	That's why you see me flexing now, but...
	It's like it was years.
	Like if you go watch my old YouTube videos from 10 years ago, I'm wearing Apple Watch, the most expensive shit I got on is some Jordans.
	And that's it.
	Some Jordans, Apple Watch, no shirt.
	And living in Queens, right?
	But I was stacking bread and investing it.
	How much were you...
	Let's say roughly you're making maybe $8,000 to $10,000 a month back then.
	What were you spending versus what were you saving at that point?
	It was more than half.
	You were saving more than half?
	Yeah, way more than half.
	I was living in Queens.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like deep in Queens.
	So I moved to a neighborhood called Forest Hills.
	And this is going to be a jewel for you guys.
	If you really want to come up, man, you got to get around motherfuckers with money.
	And not because...
	They gonna help you, but it's gonna be changing your environment changes the way you see shit.
	Boom.
	You get what I'm saying?
	So like, I had the fucking probably the worst apartment in that neighborhood, but I needed to be in a rich neighborhood.
	Like, I think Trump grew up there or around there.
	And I could hear the Long Island Railroad go by.
	Like, you know what I'm saying?
	Like, you know, people riding a train can see in my crib.
	It was a cheap apartment, one bedroom.
	It's old YouTube videos of me and that bitch.
	I remember.
	That fucking kitchen.
	That proximity is important because it makes you feel like it's real.
	You're like, oh shit, I can do something.
	Because when you're in the hood, like I said earlier, it feels hopeless.
	Or if you're around people who are struggling, then struggling seems normal.
	Struggling seems okay.
	They'll justify that.
	The dog just peed, man.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Bro, what the fuck, man?
	Yo, it's this nigga Hero, man!
	The dog was like, ayo, man, fuck with this nigga talking about, man.
	Yo, I'm Hero, bro.
	Hero, what the fuck, bro?
	You like working hard, nigga, cleaning shit up.
	Bro, Hero, what the fuck, man?
	Yo, you gotta change his name to Villain.
	For real, he's not Hero no more.
	Bro, damn, bro.
	Hell fresh, man.
	Now he looking at you like, what the fuck you gonna do, nigga?
	I pissed all over your shit.
	I pissed on your shit live.
	Fuck you gonna do nothing.
	Nothing, you bitch-ass nigga.
	Say something.
	I heard that shit you was talking.
	Yo, you know what?
	Yo, Hero.
	Yo, Hero.
	He's still grilling him, man.
	Yo, Hero.
	Most hungry, bro.
	Most hungry right now.
	Yo, he pissed on your shit and looked you in the eye and said do something on camera in front of all these people.
	He don't give a fuck what you talking about, nigga.
	This nigga really just went, raised his leg up, and fucking...
	He just took a piss, man.
	Now this nigga's gonna think it's okay to piss, too.
	God damn it.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So you become like the people you're around, so now your dog gonna be pissing all over his cycle.
	But anyway...
	Environment.
	Environment.
	Perfect topic.
	Environment.
	Environment.
	Right, but it makes you feel...
	Niggas pissing next to you, you're gonna think it's okay, too.
	It make you feel like it was real, you know?
	And across those train tracks, there was motherfucking mansions and shit, you know?
	And I would, like, ride my bicycle.
	And I would see...
	I would ride my bicycle through that bitch.
	And just, like, to get that environment, to get that impression in my brain like it's real.
	And that's super important.
	And then it raised my...
	Ambition.
	You know, when you're around people who are doing shit or you're in an environment where people are doing shit, it raises your ambition.
	But if you're in an environment where people are fucking struggling, it's gonna make it feel like the struggle's okay.
	It's gonna seem more palatable.
	But I ain't want it to feel okay.
	You feel what I'm saying?
	That's super important.
	And then I was reading, I was like, man, I can't be working like this, you know, like this.
	And that's when I had the idea.
	I was like, man, what if I started training people online?
	Which was a novel idea in like 2009, 2010.
	Nobody was doing it.
	Even being on the internet and making money on the internet wasn't heard of back then, bro.
	There was no fucking Instagram.
	There was no motherfucking...
	Facebook was kind of a...
	It was called The Facebook, I think.
	And we had MySpace.
	But YouTube had started.
	So I was like, let me try to figure this shit out.
	You got MySpace?
	Yeah, I had MySpace back in the day, man.
	You old.
	Yeah, I'm super old, man.
	I'm 42.
	Fresh at high five.
	I was in the Caribbean.
	Boom, baca!
	Goddamn.
	High five.
	Yeah, you did.
	Mo was on mi hente.
	Mi hente?
	I know.
	Nah, I know.
	You ain't got to tell me.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You know I know.
	I don't know what you're talking about.
	But, uh, mihente was motherfucking tender back in the day.
	It wasn't, though.
	But it was, though.
	It wasn't, but it was.
	Mihente, Black Planet.
	I was one of the first niggas to get fat.
	My nigga over there knew Black Planet.
	I was one of the first niggas to get catfish.
	Like, they gonna talk about me and...
	No, I was one of the first, man.
	Well, when you get to fucking Jersey, you know, you get there, it's a different bitch.
	You still got to, what you gonna do?
	You got on the fucking path train.
	I took the path train.
	I'm here now.
	Too late.
	Gotta do something.
	You gotta change your mind.
	So I was like, alright, how do I get the motherfucking...
	How do I start?
	And it was difficult to start the online fitness business.
	I had to fucking figure shit out.
	I was making my own websites, right?
	Like with HTML, my nigga, because ClickFunnels and Leadpages, Shopify, all that, none of that shit existed, right?
	So I had to use HTML, my nigga.
	And I was able to figure it out.
	And then I met Elliot Hulse, Who became like a mentor to me.
	He's like a big bro.
	Shout out to Elliot.
	And he put me on to a whole bunch of game.
	Did you join one of his mentorships?
	Nah, so what happened was I had got like 100,000 subscribers on YouTube.
	That's a milestone.
	Which is huge back then.
	What year was this that you hit it?
	I don't know the year exactly, right?
	But it was right when he got, whenever he got his million.
	Yeah, and then I noticed he followed me on Instagram.
	I was like, oh shit, that's what's up, man, OG. It's gotta be like 2012 then or something like that.
	Yeah, and then we started talking and he said he was gonna be in Queens for a wedding because he's from New York.
	And then he came through to Queens and then we went to the cigar lounge, started smoking cigars and then we talked.
	He gave me some, he actually gave me a tip.
	Right there.
	That I took and I made 20 grand off the fucking...
	He probably forgot he said it to me.
	Was it the shirt?
	Yeah, the shirt shit.
	So basically he was telling me he was selling those strange camp shirts.
	And he said he was just wearing them.
	He only made it for him.
	And then people kept asking.
	And he said, alright, I'm only going to sell it for this week.
	Right?
	And then when he got the shit, when he got the money, then he went and printed the shit.
	Right?
	And he was like, yeah, yeah.
	I was like, fuck it, man.
	If it don't, if it don't sell, I'll just refund everybody.
	You know what I'm saying?
	But it sold.
	So I did the same shit.
	Yeah.
	I started wearing this.
	I made some shirts.
	Me and the homie, white boy, Brian.
	I made, we made some shirts.
	We was wearing them in the videos.
	Oh, he's doing great.
	He's head of my sales team.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	I mean, he made like $400,000 last year.
	Nice.
	I love you.
	I wrote the check, man.
	And, um...
	Nice.
	And, um...
	What the fuck was that?
	Oh, yeah.
	So we was wearing them.
	We was wearing them.
	It's great because you guys came up together.
	So I wanted to make sure the audience knows that.
	Loyalty is a huge...
	That's the homie, man.
	Y'all came up together literally from back then.
	I remember being in your videos.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	For years, man.
	We still work together, you know.
	And...
	And I sold the shirts.
	I packaged it with a workout plan or something.
	And we sold them.
	And then Brian printed them up.
	Him and the girl printed them up and shipped them out.
	And I made 20 grand.
	I was like, oh shit.
	That's the same shit Trump's doing with the watches.
	Because if you read it, it says digital rendition.
	The watches may look different.
	That's why you won't get them until November, December.
	Because the fucking orders are paying for them.
	I didn't even know Trump Oh, he's coming out with watches, man.
	I know about the shoes, but I didn't know about the watches.
	Oh, man, they just dropped.
	You got to get you one.
	One is called the Fight, Fight, Fight.
	And it's called the Fight, Fight, Fight.
	Yeah, and it's...
	I swear to God, his name is...
	The watch is called Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight.
	And it's a dive watch.
	I ain't got nothing bad to say about it.
	It look like a fucking...
	It's like a Trump Sub-Mariner.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Guess what you're getting for Christmas?
	And then he's got a hundred thousand dollar one to autumn He said it but they you know them just this this is I bet my fucking house That Dems just is pre-ordered The orders are paid for him, right?
	So it's a good play.
	That's a little hard.
	That's the $100,000 one.
	That's the tourbillon.
	Tourbillon is actually like a complicated watch movement, you know?
	Anyway, so I made I made 20 grand and then and then Elliot I was on his email list he sent an email list that he was gonna do an event and fucking London.
	Yeah.
	Right?
	Where he's going to teach people how to grow their online fitness business.
	And it was like a three-day event.
	And I hit Elliot.
	Yo, can I go?
	He was like, you got to pay.
	And I was like, all right.
	So I paid.
	It was like $1,400, which was a lot of money for me back then.
	Yeah.
	And plus, you know, the flights and, you know, all that shit.
	So I fucking, I was like, let me take the risk and learn, right?
	Because there was no fucking resources to learn this shit.
	And I went back, I learned from him and his, the guy, one of the guys who was helping run his business, do they Magalant?
	And I tripled my income, and then I hit Matt up, and I was like, yo, can you mentor me?
	And I paid Matt like $1,400 a month for like a year, and that's when I made my first like million.
	You know, Matt, now Matt, he runs a fucking business called a bio-optimizer, a supplement company.
	They did 50 mil last year.
	Damn!
	Yeah, now Matt's at G. Love you, Matt.
	Matt Galance, what up, homie?
	I made my first million and then we started making multiple millions after that and then people started asking me how to do it and that's when I started teaching people how to grow their online fitness business.
	But that's a long ass winded story.
	Now people know how you did it.
	You took effort and momentum to build your platform to 100k Elliot saw you doing well.
	So you know what?
	I'm gonna follow him because he's doing his thing.
	And then from that, you took action.
	So you know what?
	I'm gonna hit him up because I need some advice.
	And he became your mentor.
	From there, it was smooth sailing.
	Yeah, he's still my big bro to this day.
	That's love, bro.
	That's love.
	And now how did you meet Myron?
	All right.
	So, first of all, there should be a link in the bio.
	I got a free e-book.
	It's free about how to grow your online fitness business.
	It's called The Ten Commandments of Online Training.
	And it's free.
	You can just download it.
	It's in the bio.
	There you go.
	But how I met Myron, I was doing an event where I was teaching this shit.
	Similar to what Elliot was doing, I did an event in...
	Miami.
	Miami, yeah.
	At the W. At the W. Right down the street from here.
	And then Myron showed up.
	And then, you know, he was like, yo, I want to do this, but I got to fucking make sure that the fucking government says it's cool.
	And I was like, all right.
	I had to get, I tell you guys all the time, if you're a government employee, you have to do something called outside employment authorization.
	So I went to go get that cleared up first.
	Then I came back.
	Because obviously he's like, bro, I deal with idiots like you all the time that say, bro, what up?
	You know, they don't got the money, they just whatever.
	I had the money, but for me, I had to get the clearance first.
	Right.
	So I was like, alright, let me make sure I get this shit cleared.
	And then, boom.
	And then I got it cleared and I had him back like a month and a half later or whatever.
	And I remember I got on the call and I was like, I'm ready to go.
	And he was like, oh, well, you know, let's talk about it more.
	I was like, nah, man, I'm ready to go.
	Let's fucking do it.
	And then we just, you know, we did it.
	And then he did it, man.
	Then he took it to the next level.
	And then we became cool.
	Like when I would come to Miami, because I lived in New York at times.
	When I come to Miami, we kicked it a few times.
	We went out, you know what I'm saying?
	Did our thing, you know.
	This is before any of this shit, you know what I'm saying?
	Way before.
	I remember the photo by American Social.
	Oh, yeah.
	Of you guys.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, because you had a meetup with some of your students here, I think.
	So it was...
	What happened?
	The watch.
	Oh, I was talking about the watch?
	The fight, fight, fight.
	The fight, fight, fight.
	That's what it's called.
	Fight, fight, fight, fight.
	It's called the fight, fight, fight.
	Okay, silver gold.
	It looks like...
	You weren't kidding.
	Yo, pull up the red one, though.
	The red one's kind of hard.
	It's a red.
	Yo, that's what I'm saying.
	This nigga Trump...
	How much is this shit?
	This is what happened.
	That's when he got shot, right?
	So this nigga, you...
	Listen, man.
	You fucking try to kill Trump, he gonna make a watch about it.
	500 bucks?
	You know what I'm saying?
	You try to kill my nigga Trump.
	Looks like a Rolex.
	There's like a lower cost one and then obviously the higher one.
	Looks like a Rolex.
	800, yeah.
	That's crazy.
	Oh, that's the time is money.
	That's some new shit.
	That wasn't out last week.
	And that's the $100,000 one right there.
	And then, yeah, then the fight, fight, fight is only $500.
	It's $500.
	I wonder if you can buy and resell for a higher price.
	Oh, yeah.
	If they're limited edition, yeah, you definitely can.
	They're going to make them limited edition.
	Hey, listen, man.
	That might be an investment move for y'all, man.
	Buy you some fight, fight, fights.
	And then go.
	That's fucking marketing right there.
	And resell that shit.
	But no, that was...
	But yeah, I remember that.
	But so...
	Now you guys kind of know Brandon's history.
	So, Brandon, you are an expert in helping people make money, regardless of the economy.
	Obviously, it's an election year.
	We're 30 days away from the election.
	What do you think is a play now if people really want to go ahead and get into Maybe they might have a nine-to-five.
	They want to make some money, etc.
	How can they go about just getting more money, making more money?
	First of all, you got to realize that who's in the White House won't have as much effect on your life as who's in your house, like you.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like what you do.
	I made my first million during the Obama administration.
	I made fucking more money during Trump's first term.
	What year was it when you hit your first M? I don't remember the exact year.
	It was in my early 30s, though.
	And Obama was in office?
	Yeah, Obama was in office.
	Okay.
	Oh wait, 2012.
	Somewhere in that range.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh no, wait, hold on.
	No, he was in until 2016.
	Yeah, he was in there.
	Okay, he was in there for eight years.
	He was in that bitch.
	And so I made even more money during Trump's administration.
	And I made the most money during the Biden administration, right?
	So it's like, yeah, man.
	It stands to reason that like...
	You know, it doesn't play that big of a role in your life.
	I mean, as far as it pertains to your own income.
	I mean, there will be ramifications, right?
	You know, for sure.
	Like, Trump hooked up the tax break.
	For me, not for all of y'all.
	Right, but for me, man.
	You're a swamping zone or a real estate guy?
	Yeah, he definitely...
	Yeah, so there was that, you know?
	And, uh...
	But, you know, whatever happens, you just have that attitude that, you know, no matter what, you're going to find a way to succeed no matter what the environment you're in.
	Like, really have that attitude and really believe it and go after it.
	That's super important because I've seen people, like, fucking lose their shit.
	When Trump lost the last election?
	Oh, yeah.
	Right?
	So, I got friends on...
	I got a very diverse group of friends, right?
	I got friends who motherfucking campaign...
	Yeah, you really do, bro.
	Now that I think about it, you got friends like...
	You got people like us that are pretty extreme on the right, and then you got other people that swing more on the left.
	Yeah, far left.
	You know what I'm saying?
	And I went to a gay wedding once, man.
	You know what I'm saying?
	The homies got...
	You did what?
	I went to a gay wedding, man.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Nah, I don't give a fuck.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Nah, it was one of my girls' bosses.
	Oh, yeah.
	She worked in fashion.
	It was back in the day.
	You know what I'm saying?
	But I went to that shit.
	I mean, I definitely looked down when they said you make kisses.
	I was like, let me know when it's over.
	You know what I'm saying?
	But it don't even matter, man, because it's like...
	I don't have to agree with everything someone says to be their motherfucking friend, right?
	That's too high of a criteria for friendship.
	And you lived in New York for a very long time, man.
	It's whatever, man.
	Also, you kind of learn to just look the other way.
	You know, I just don't give a fuck what another nigga's talking about or what another nigga's doing.
	I don't give a fuck, man.
	What Hose say, what you eat don't make me shit.
	I don't give a fuck.
	As long as you ain't fucking with me and my money.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I'm straight.
	You're not fucking my family or my money, then I don't really give a fuck.
	Like, real libertarian-type values for me.
	Like, let everybody do their thing.
	Just don't get in my motherfucking way.
	That's kind of how I see the world.
	That's smart.
	Yeah.
	You know, like, I don't give a fuck.
	I'll say this, though.
	When it comes to making money and being in a world of corporate and access, people that you don't agree with are going to have money.
	And you go to business with them regardless.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Matter of fact is, they may not be, so to speak, your type of person.
	Well, Brad is smart about it.
	He stays apolitical, which is actually the way to go.
	100%.
	That's smart, bro.
	Like I said, I got friends who campaigned for Bernie Sanders.
	I got friends.
	I got a...
	One of my boys got arrested for storming the Capitol.
	Oh, shit.
	Yeah, motherfucker.
	You know January 6th, sir?
	There's a picture of this motherfucker.
	I was like, oh, shit.
	Like, me and my boy...
	My boy Jeremy knew him too.
	Jeremy was on the show years ago, right?
	And he was like, yo, you got this, yo, yo, such and such.
	You know this guy?
	Look at this shit.
	He was like, oh, fuck.
	Because we both knew him.
	And we was like, oh, fuck.
	We didn't know he was that deep into it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So I got a diverse friend group.
	You know what I'm saying?
	And the point is, like, he let that shit, this motherfucker was a multi-millionaire, though.
	He used to run ads for Russell Brunson and, like, big-time marketers.
	He was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And, um, He let that fucking shit fuck him up.
	Meanwhile, I'm over here making more money.
	Right?
	You know what I'm saying?
	Where he...
	My fault.
	Nah, you go, bro.
	You still got that ringtone.
	I get money.
	I like it.
	I get money.
	My man is stuck in 2007.
	I love it, though.
	Nah, I'm old school, man.
	I'm old school, nigga.
	That ringtone is classic.
	It's classic, bro.
	But it's like...
	You can't control outside people.
	Marcus really said you can't control outside people or outside events.
	You can only control your mind.
	And once you realize that, then you'll have full shot.
	Or some shit like that.
	I think it's important.
	You know, let's talk about that real quick.
	Like the mindset.
	Because, you know, we're laughing, ha ha ha, you got a Junet song, you know, in 2024, I get money, you know.
	And then, but, you know, I've been in your house, I've had the, you know...
	Luxury.
	The luxury of visiting your fantastic home.
	Thanks.
	And you have $100 bills everywhere when I did your podcast, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And literally everything is Benjamin Franklin here, Benjamin Franklin there.
	Money, like, signs everywhere.
	But when I thought about it, I was like, this actually is a very interesting...
	I guess, psychology trick, so to speak.
	Can you talk about that a little bit?
	Yeah, well, one, it's like I'm not classy, right?
	I'm not a classy motherfucker.
	I'm a G. I'll fuck you up.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I'm not trying to be classy, right?
	I'm still a fucking street nigga to the heart.
	But anyway, so, like, that's a part of that shit, but it's also...
	You ever notice when one of your friends gets a car and you start seeing that car everywhere?
	Yeah.
	Right?
	You're not a motherfucking X-Man, right?
	Like the other car.
	Right.
	What happens is there's a part of your brain called the RAS, the reticular activation system.
	And it gets activated when you see something that's important or something that's around all the time.
	You start seeing more of it.
	So the car was already there, you just didn't see it before.
	Right?
	Because it wasn't activated in that part of your brain.
	Right?
	And But once it's activated, you start seeing it everywhere, right?
	It's activated for me on a certain topic.
	Yeah, yeah, for sure.
	None.
	No, just keep going, though.
	Right.
	So, it's important...
	Can you please mentor him some more?
	Please do.
	Give him some more, please.
	Just keep going.
	So, it's important that you really...
	Those inputs, right?
	Because imagine if your friend sees the car.
	If your friend sees the car, you start seeing it everywhere.
	What if your friend starts talking about his problems all the time?
	He starts complaining, starts being a bitch.
	What are you going to see all the time?
	You're going to see, right?
	But what if you use that shit to your advantage, right?
	So if you start seeing...
	So the money shit and, you know, the ringtone is like, I want to think about money because I want to see different opportunities to get it the same way I see the car.
	Does that make sense?
	Right?
	So it's like...
	It's it but it's bigger than that.
	It's more like Just the way you got to think is it's not like positive thinking.
	It's For example, yes, right?
	Like okay, so I was I was with my son and we was at we's in Atlanta, right?
	We said There's a Lego Lego discovery shit He likes to fuck with that shit and I had a nigga on my neck and was walking around because that's how he likes that's his preferred method of travel like being on my neck, right?
	And so we were walking around.
	I was like, oh shit, there's an Omega store in here.
	I like watches, right?
	So I was like, let me see what the fuck Omega's talking about.
	And I go up in there and I see this watch that I think is kind of cool.
	And I'm looking at him like, how much is that?
	And he was like, oh, this is like 10 grand.
	And my son was like, $10,000 for a watch?
	That's too much.
	I don't know who taught him that bullshit, right?
	But I took this nigga off my head.
	I was like, hey, hey, hey, hey.
	Look here, man.
	Never say nothing's too much money, right?
	You can have anything you want if you work hard enough.
	You can have anything you want if you work hard.
	Don't ever let nobody tell you you can't do another thing.
	Don't even tell yourself that, nigga.
	If you want something, you can go get...
	Nah, I didn't say nigga.
	If you want it, you can go get it, all right?
	Straight up, like you can have anything you want, you can work hard enough, right?
	Because that's some broke, that's some broke nigga shit, right?
	To say it's too much.
	You should be like, instead of saying something's too much money, I say, man, I need to get more money, right?
	Because then I'll start looking for opportunities.
	But if I say it's too much, it's like classic Rich Dad Poor, that shit.
	Y'all have Kiyosaki on here, right?
	That's where I first like read that shit in his book when I was like 19.
	And But I adopted that with everything, right?
	So it's like, I don't say shit, it's too much money.
	I say, nah, man, you know, how can I get more money?
	So right there, I was like, told the Omega man, you know, I was like, yo, Omega man, give me two of these watches so I can flex on this nigga right quick, man.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Omega man.
	But you got to do that with everything, like straight up.
	It's like, I won't say I'm tired.
	I say, yo, I gotta get more energy.
	I don't say I'm hungry.
	I'll be like, no, I gotta go get some food, right?
	I'm not saying...
	You gotta keep that with everything.
	Oh, I can't get no girls, man.
	I gotta find a way to get the house, right?
	It's whatever.
	You gotta focus on what you want.
	Because if you say...
	Both of them are true.
	It's not...
	I don't think of it as positive thinking.
	I think about it as not being negative.
	Right?
	You know what I'm saying?
	Does that make sense?
	Yeah, yeah.
	In the government, we used to say, find a way to say yes versus finding a way to say no.
	Like, how can we get this done?
	Also, when you look at kids, they see their parents do certain things and they say, you know what, alright, they're poor and they gotta save money so this is all I can afford when I get older as well.
	You say, you know what, nah, fuck all that.
	Think in the way we can afford it once you put in the work together.
	If you put in enough work, right?
	He can't be a spoiled motherfucker, right?
	It's like, you can have anything you want if you work hard enough for it.
	And I want everybody to know that, right?
	That's a big message.
	Like, I ain't trying to sell nothing on here.
	That's one of the messages I want to get across.
	And I think that goes back to the ringtone.
	They laugh at you and they might say, well, I mean, we're making some jokes or whatever.
	Yeah, it's funny.
	But the reality is, is like, you have it in your brain, get money all the time.
	So even when your phone rings...
	Yeah.
	It tells you, I get money.
	And it's reaffirming that all the time.
	You go home and you're surrounded by all of these signs like, I need to make more money.
	Because you could have said, you know what?
	Elliot's training is too much money for me.
	I'm going to just stay here and figure shit out.
	But you said, you know what?
	Nah.
	I'm going to find a way to make it work, pay for the hotel, pay for the flight, and go to that training.
	And look where you are now.
	Yeah, if you look for ways to do it, your mind will find it.
	Like, your mind is, like, super powerful.
	And I don't mean it.
	I don't want to sound like one of these motherfucking white girls who collect rocks and shit or, like, tell you about your horoscope.
	Right, you know what I'm saying?
	But it's like, on some real shit, your brain will be able to figure shit out.
	It's more advanced than any AI or anything, but you've got to program it right.
	So I say, man, how do I get this shit?
	I never talk about my problems.
	I always phrase it in a way where it's like, how can I get past it?
	And I don't let people around me talk like that, because bitch assness is contagious.
	If your friend says...
	If your friend can get a car, and you see that car everywhere, what happens when he starts talking about his problem?
	When he starts complaining?
	When he starts acting like a bitch?
	Right?
	You're gonna see more of that shit in your life.
	Bitch assness is a disease.
	Right?
	It's contagious.
	And it spreads.
	So, like, if someone of my homies or someone around me says some bitch nigga shit, I'm immediately gonna be like, hey, man, don't say that about yourself.
	Right?
	If he says, man, I can't do that.
	No, don't say that about yourself, nigga.
	You can if you want to.
	You just haven't chose to.
	That's cool.
	And that's okay.
	Because at least that's responsibility, right?
	But you can do it.
	You are capable, my nigga.
	Mm-hmm.
	Like I won't let nobody say nothing around me.
	And, yo, my students, Sometimes they'll be like, man, I'm trying to get more followers.
	And then everybody will flip out because they know what's coming next.
	I'll be like, you what?
	Use the T word?
	Nigga, you just say try?
	Nigga, you say try?
	You a motherfucking try baby?
	You a motherfucking try baby?
	Man, we don't use that type of profanity here, man.
	You must be new.
	We don't use the T word.
	You either gonna do it or you not, homie.
	You know what I'm saying?
	But we ain't out here trying to do shit like hoes.
	Bitches try to do shit.
	We don't try to do shit.
	We fucking gonna do it or we're not gonna do it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	If you're gonna try anything, you need to die trying.
	Like, that's the only thing I try that I'll accept.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Success is black and white, man.
	It really is.
	You do it or you don't.
	That behavior means that the way you speak to yourself, it means something.
	It means something because it programs your brain how you behave.
	Think about it.
	One nigga says, yeah, I'm going to try to do this.
	And one nigga says, I'm going to do this.
	I'm going to find a way to do this no matter what.
	Just who are you going to bet on?
	Yeah.
	You're right.
	Who would you bet on?
	You're right.
	Also, that energy when you...
	Fuck the word try.
	I like that.
	Yeah.
	Don't let nobody say this.
	When you put it out there where you say, you know what?
	I'm going to do this.
	You know what?
	People say, you know what?
	This guy's energy is good.
	I want to help him on his journey.
	It'll help you, because they see you're ambitious, you want to make it as well, so they'll help you along your journey.
	I don't know if the, like, law of attraction and all that other shit is real, but what I do know is a motherfucker who got that motherfucking drive, you can see it, and when you're around a person like that, you feel like you can accomplish more, right?
	You know what I'm saying?
	So I try to instill that into everyone I'm around, not just because I'm a nice guy, but more, it's like, I don't want, if they're going to be on, I don't want them to be on some bitch shit, at least not around me, because it's contagious.
	Right, so I want to make you feel like you can do whatever you want.
	I want to give you that feeling so we all on the same vibration.
	Because if you come in with that bitch shit, then that bitch assness might fucking seep into my motherfucking being.
	And next thing you know, I'm out here trying to do shit.
	Like a hoe.
	Fuck that shit, my nigga.
	That is so true, man.
	You gotta go after it.
	That's a big part of the mindset, my nigga.
	So that's the first step to making money, is having the mindset done packed.
	Yeah, having the mindset.
	That's the very first step.
	We can go into some more tactical stuff, but the reason I kind of want to save the tactical stuff, because we've seen, especially over the last three, four years, make money and then lose it all, because they didn't have the mindset right.
	That's how my dad lost it all.
	You know, something just hit me in the head since we're talking about 2000s music.
	In the song, Till I Collapse, Nate Dogg, Eminem, I think he said it literally, success is my only fucking option, failure is not.
	And I think when people have that do or die mentality, whether it's me taking that chance, I'm going to fucking spend this money, I'm putting it on credit, I don't give a fuck because I'm going to make this shit back because I believe in myself.
	That is much more powerful than saying, oh, I'm going to try to do it.
	Come on, man.
	Or I'm going to work at it.
	Like, no, you're going to fucking do it.
	You don't get what you want, you get what you have to have.
	You will not rise to your ambitions, you will fall to your standards.
	So it's not even about trying to get more.
	It's about accepting no less.
	You get what I'm saying?
	Like, you got to raise the floor.
	I won't accept less than $100K this year.
	I won't accept less than this amount of money.
	That's way more powerful than...
	The standards.
	I'm going to try to make $100K per year versus I will not accept anything less than this.
	Is it a standard or not?
	Devil's advocate.
	Well, Brandon, you got lucky, bro.
	You lucky Matt Hiltz.
	I'm not lucky like you.
	How am I going to make it, bro?
	Well, listen, man.
	Here's the thing.
	Here's the thing.
	Had I not put it not at work, I wouldn't have got lucky.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, that opportunity wouldn't have...
	Had I not already been on the path, I wouldn't even have had the opportunity to get lucky.
	You get what I'm saying?
	I would say, when people say luck, I say luck is the combination of preparation and opportunity.
	That's what it is.
	Opportunity and preparation coming together, boom, that's the luck.
	Because if you can't see the opportunity, then what is that?
	Luck is the last dying wish of those who think that success can happen on accident.
	It's got to be planned out.
	It was strategic.
	My whole path was planned out, strategic.
	And there was upsets, there was setbacks.
	A lot of bad shit happened along the way, but you've got to just keep going.
	You've got to really plan this shit out and be thorough.
	You feel me?
	Here's something.
	You can say it's luck.
	There's fortunate things that happened.
	One of the things, I had great parents.
	That's lucky.
	Me being born on the south side of Chicago, was that lucky?
	You got to turn it around.
	But It's hard to say somebody's lucky one.
	This is my calendar, right?
	Every hour, every day is planned out.
	That's insane, bro.
	Remember, I saw your CEO network.
	I told these niggas that.
	This is today.
	There's no white...
	One or two hours of white space.
	Here, when am I going to do some fuck shit?
	When am I going to do some bullshit?
	When I got it planned from 4.30 to the whole day.
	I'm strategic.
	If they follow you on Instagram, King Keto, you can see he posts as soon as he wakes up at 4.30 in the morning every day.
	4.30, 5.30, depending on what time I went to sleep.
	4 or 5.30.
	Yeah, and it's literally like he's like up early in the morning all the time You know I mean so and everything's planned out every single day Yeah, it's hard to fail when you have it like that.
	It's hard.
	It's hard Any motherfucker who who's strategic about his life plans it out and like it works that plan It's like that motherfucker will seem lucky or over a long enough period of time.
	Mmm.
	You know like even people say man I work hard.
	It's different between working hard.
	I work at capacity.
	You know what I'm saying?
	That's different than working hard.
	That's capacity.
	You will not fail if you go all out.
	I mean, when I say all out, I mean at capacity.
	I read a book when I was really young.
	I might have been 19 to 20.
	It was called The Science of Getting Rich.
	And he said, over and over again, he said, do all that can be done each day.
	All that can be done.
	Each day.
	Like, doing all that can be done is not working hard, it's not grinding, it's hustling, it's capacity.
	Like, you cannot have done no more.
	And doing each day is not sometimes, not most of the time, it's not a lot of times, it's each day.
	And if you work at capacity each day, you cannot fail.
	No one, I've never seen it happen.
	And if not where you are, where you want to be, start working at capacity each day.
	That's more than working, because working hard is arbitrary.
	Are you going as hard as you can go?
	Are you doing it every day?
	You're doing it sometimes once in a while.
	It's a difference, you know?
	And that's why it's like...
	You can outwork poverty if you're in a first world country, right?
	If you're in some shit country, nigga, you know, fresh guy, however fresh did it, he might have a master class on how to get out of the third world.
	Come on, man.
	Maybe Haiti, but not...
	Yeah, my fault, man.
	I've been to Barbados.
	I've seen Mad Huts.
	Where'd you go, nigga?
	The Barbados.
	What part?
	What part yoga?
	The part.
	I don't know.
	I don't know Bayesian geography like that, my nigga. - He went to the Bahamas.
	No, no, no, no, cheese on bread. - I can't understand it because in any case though, minding your environment, you can make it work.
	But it's funny because we get all the time.
	It's a poor country.
	It's not.
	It's just we're in the hemisphere of these other places.
	I'm just fucking fresh, man.
	You know my nigga.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, fresh with my nigga.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Actually, he did a coaching call with my guys, Sealy Network.
	He told them about having a schedule.
	Bro, I kid you not.
	A couple of them follow the schedule, and now they're making a hell of money doing clips, doing content, and it's because they had a schedule.
	Before, they had no schedule.
	They just wake up, wing it, and try to figure it out.
	Oh, you can't wing it, man.
	If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
	Facts.
	You know what I'm saying?
	It's like you got to be able to plan shit.
	You got to measure shit.
	You got to track shit.
	And I think that would probably be the next step is to really start working at capacity.
	But the only way to do that is to use your calendar.
	So Google Calendar, it's free, right?
	I don't get no affiliate links.
	And it's funny because you've been doing this since I met you.
	And you've probably been doing it before even then.
	Bro, I got videos from like 10 years ago, man.
	You plan out every day in your calendar.
	You know, every hour of every day, right?
	And that'll help you with any bad habits you're trying to get rid of, too, because there's no time for the bullshit.
	There's no time for it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Because people just want to break bad habits.
	You've got to replace them.
	I like that.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You gotta replace them.
	It's not about breaking bad habits, it's about replacing them.
	I like that.
	And I think that'll be easier for a lot of people to apply.
	Like where, instead of gambling, you can take that hour, get the fuck off steak, and actually make some real fucking money.
	Yeah, or you just want motherfuckers to be wanting to stop beating off all the time.
	It's like, you just gonna sit around, bored, not beating off?
	Nah, man.
	You gotta go do some shit.
	You gotta do some shit.
	You gotta have an alternative.
	Find the girl.
	Yeah, or find a hoe.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Put your energy in the...
	Transmute that energy, my nigga.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Actually, Brandon, I want you to advice on this, man.
	Because I feel like a lot of guys will learn from you and how you kind of have a level of, I want to say...
	Swag.
	Control.
	Oh, my fault.
	Okay.
	Swag as well.
	Okay.
	Now, you do it.
	How does someone...
	Do kids still say swag?
	Nah, that's Soulja Boy era.
	Shout out to Soulja Boy, by the way.
	I was about to turn my swag up.
	I was about to get crunk out here.
	Brandon's showing his age.
	It's 2005, bro.
	It's okay.
	I'm old, too, bro.
	Yeah, bro.
	We all old.
	I'm 42.
	How old are you, Bills?
	I'm 30.
	30?
	30?
	34.
	I thought I was the youngest.
	I'm 34.
	You're 32.
	I'm old school, man.
	I look 40, though.
	Fuck that shit.
	Yeah, you do look 40, bigger.
	Where's my favorite?
	Where's my favorite?
	You're the youngest one here, but...
	So, yeah.
	Let's say a guy is trying to navigate life, make some money, do the right things, but girls are a problem.
	Guys, by the way, get your questions in.
	You guys got Brandon fucking Carter in the house, man.
	So guys, if you guys got questions about business, making money online, whatever it may be, mindset, get your questions in and we'll do a Q&A at the end.
	Sorry, keep going.
	I had the same issue where I was doing okay, saved some money up, bought some property, but I was womanizing like crazy.
	I took a lot of my time to prevent the work, making moves, and I met Myron, and it kind of curbed tilt because he's like, yo, bro, Get off your shit, nigga.
	Focus on making money.
	What would you say to people that want to make money, but girls are a distraction?
	Well, one of the good things is, like, you said you met Myron, right?
	So you get around people who are doing other shit who elevate you, right?
	Who actually, like, help you raise your standards, right?
	Because you, especially if Myron's, like, doing this thing, you don't want to get lapped, right?
	So it's almost like a positive peer pressure.
	You get what I'm saying?
	That's why it's important, the environment.
	You really got to cultivate your environment.
	Winners, you know?
	And however you can.
	Whatever it takes to do that.
	That's one step.
	So you see how that works for you.
	Second on the group.
	Yeah, just get around some motherfuckers who are actually doing big shit, right?
	And here's the thing for us.
	And this is for everyone.
	And this will apply to a lot of different vices.
	So Siegmund Freud, he has something called the pleasure principle.
	Where he basically said that human beings are always...
	Any decision they make, they're either moving towards pleasure or away from pain.
	Perceived pleasure or perceived pain, right?
	And once you raise your standards of what you're going to accept in life or what you want, what happens is when you're not moving in that direction, you'll start to feel pain.
	You know what I'm saying?
	When something is like fucking stopping you from accomplishing your goals, doing it will start to be painful once your standards are high enough.
	Does that make sense?
	Yeah.
	Because you know you're not moving towards your goal.
	But if you have low goals, then...
	Then the vices seem more attractive.
	They seem more pleasurable.
	You get what I'm saying?
	But if you have intense goals and you're serious, man, and you believe it's possible, right, and you're not moving towards it, then you'll start to feel bad when you're doing that other shit.
	You get what I'm saying?
	So it changes your associated with pain and pleasure.
	And then when that happens, you don't really need discipline as much.
	You get what I'm saying?
	Because it's now you want, discipline means you do what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it, whether you want to or not.
	Which is a good quality to cultivate.
	However, it's actually, in my opinion, I feel like it's amateur night, right?
	Because...
	The real level is when you want your thing so bad you don't need discipline to go after it.
	Yeah, discipline is like the training wheels.
	I agree with you on that one.
	It's like training wheels, right?
	It'll last you for a year or two, but yeah, you're right.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's not meant to be sustainable.
	You just grit your teeth through that.
	You've got to change your association with pain and pleasure.
	So one of the things, this will help you exactly with your question, though.
	I call this the list of hate.
	So everyone do this, man.
	Get an iPhone, get the Notes app.
	If you got an Android phone, then get the fucking dork app or whatever.
	And make a list of all the people who fucking shitted on you, hated on you, did you wrong, talked shit about you, right?
	And look at that list every day.
	Great.
	Look at that list every day.
	And then what happens over a certain amount of time, you'll start to understand it.
	Like, oh, when you're not working on your goals, the haters are fucking winning.
	You can't let the haters win.
	You know what I'm saying?
	That works.
	Yeah, it works.
	It's very important.
	And...
	And also, if they were hating on you, if they said you couldn't do something and you don't do it, it wasn't hate.
	It was just a fair assessment of your motherfucking capabilities.
	They were just right.
	You're either proving them right or you're proving them wrong.
	But if you're not thinking about it, then you might just liable to do anything.
	Right?
	You do that, you look at that list of hate, then also you've got to have a list of great.
	I recommend you look at this every morning, especially if somebody wants to lose motivation, right?
	The list of great, you take a version of yourself.
	Imagine a version of yourself who accomplished all your goals.
	What kind of attributes does this motherfucker have?
	Like, what time does he wake up?
	What time does he go to sleep?
	What are his habits?
	Is he out here getting high at fucking bitches all the time?
	Right?
	Is he out here fucking smoking?
	What y'all call it?
	OG Kush?
	What the kids call it now?
	Trees?
	Y'all smoking it.
	Zaza.
	What is he doing?
	Is he doing that shit?
	Is he fucking eating fucking candies and cakes like a child?
	Like what's he doing, right?
	Write down all the positive attributes that this motherfucker has and look at that every day too, right?
	And what happens is once you start acting incongruent with what's on that list of great It's going to be like a dopamine hit every time you do it.
	Every time you catch yourself acting in congruence with on that list.
	Because then you'll know you're becoming the man that you actually need to be to accomplish the goals that you want to accomplish.
	Right?
	And then over a period of time, you'll start to change your associations with pain and pleasure.
	Now working hard, focusing.
	We'll be more pleasurable than going out fucking some random bitch.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Not immediate gratification, but it's like you'll know you're moving towards a higher version of yourself.
	You'll be chasing victory as opposed to chasing dopamine, and you'll start to feel better about yourself.
	And you'll also start to have more confidence, right?
	A lot of times motherfuckers don't have confidence in themselves, but a big reason for that is because they haven't given themselves a reason to be fucking confident.
	But when you're acting in accordance with When you are behaving like the man that you need to be to accomplish your goals, you start to believe in yourself.
	You start to trust yourself more.
	You start to like yourself more.
	And then that's where confidence comes from.
	You can't just be confident.
	That's fucking bullshit.
	That's just for like children and women, right?
	A man has to give himself a reason to be confident.
	He has to give himself a reason to be himself.
	He has to give himself a reason to like himself.
	If you don't like yourself, you're gonna do all types of fuck shit.
	You're going to do a lot more of those vices.
	I'm not saying you're fucking bitches because you don't like yourself, right?
	It's biological shit, right?
	But at the same time, it's like, the more you like yourself, the more you are going to want to see what you're made of.
	Reach your potential, damn, I'm that nigga.
	Especially if you, every day you got a list of shit you're supposed to do, you start knocking it out, you start feeling like, damn, I'm that nigga.
	You know what I'm saying?
	It's like, what else could I do?
	You feel me?
	Yeah.
	You know, and you start to feel bad about yourself and then you get to a point fresh, you know what I'm saying?
	And you're a successful dude, right?
	But like this mentality, if you start doing what I'm telling you, what's going to happen is it's like bitches are going to seem like a burden.
	To a certain degree, right?
	Like, all these hoes coming at you is going to be like, it's going to be burdensome.
	You know, it's like, fuck, man.
	You know, these fucking hoes.
	You know, it's like, I'm trying to get my shit together.
	You probably feel that way now.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You know, it's funny.
	I wish you came out with this product years ago.
	Thought repellent.
	Oh, yeah.
	We got a product called thought repellent.
	It's coming soon, man.
	We had some scientists put it together.
	It's thought repellent.
	It's an easy to plot spray to keep the hoes away.
	You should have brought it, bro.
	Yeah.
	Damn!
	I'll let you know.
	When we had the launch, I'll bring it, man.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You spray it on yourself.
	Only the good women are like you, but the hoes, you needed it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You needed it, because I thought I was about to have a nephew.
	Hell no, bro!
	I thought I was about to have a Chinese nephew.
	Hell no, bro!
	I was excited.
	I was going to teach that nigga life lessons, and he was going to teach me karate.
	I was ready.
	I was ready.
	I was ready, man.
	I was ready to learn Kung Fu from this little nigga.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Let's go!
	Yo.
	That's funny.
	Oh, Lord.
	W. Brandon.
	Oh, man.
	I was excited for all of us.
	We were all gonna be motherfucking ninjas.
	Once this little nigga started training us.
	I was looking for it too, Brandon.
	Call it luck.
	We just got hero pissing on everybody.
	That's my real son over there, man.
	Instead of a Chinese kid, we got a Japanese fucking fox.
	See, I prefer Japanese, bro.
	Snickers not trained at all, bro.
	But to your point, like, honestly, once you change your association with pain and pleasure, like, it won't even take discipline to go to your goals.
	Like, it takes me discipline to do other shit.
	You get what I'm saying?
	Like to do shit that's not incongruent with my goals, it takes discipline to do that.
	And I might do it for like obligatory reasons or, you know, and I'll find a way to enjoy it, right?
	You know, but it's like...
	That's like me going to a club now.
	Yeah.
	Now it's a burden for me to go to a club.
	You know, because you'd rather be working on your goals.
	Yeah.
	You know what I'm talking about.
	Once you change that, then it's not discipline.
	It's a high...
	Discipline's like level one, man.
	It's basic shit.
	And a lot of niggas need to start there, right?
	Yeah.
	But the fucking next level is when it takes discipline to not go after your goals.
	Right.
	And the only way I know how to do that is to change your association with pain and pleasure.
	And then also, and to change your association to list the hate and list the great, man.
	You know, you mentioned the whole confidence thing, which I think is very important.
	Like, confidence really is earned for men.
	You gotta earn it, man.
	And I've said before, competence leads to accomplishments, then which leads to confidence.
	Yeah.
	You gotta get some shit under your belt, guys.
	You got to.
	You know, I used to say that shit like years ago.
	I said, confidence comes from confidence.
	And when niggas, you say, no, you should just be confident.
	I'm like, no, that's fucking delusional.
	That's fucking insane.
	That's the girls that come on this show.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Confidence for no reason.
	They're confusing confidence with self-love.
	For example, I love my son, but I can't leave him alone for a day.
	He would fucking die.
	I'd go to jail.
	You get locked up for shit like that, right?
	You know, my grandma, she was like 96 when she passed.
	We loved her, right?
	But we didn't have confidence in her.
	She couldn't even sleep alone, man, because she couldn't shit without assistance, right?
	Like, that didn't mean we didn't love her, but she was totally incompetent, but that didn't mean we didn't love her, right?
	So you could still love yourself, I guess, you know what I'm saying?
	Without confidence.
	But...
	To have confidence in yourself, you gotta be good at something.
	And I'm not confident in everything I do, right?
	It's like I wouldn't try to do my own plumbing, right?
	I don't have no confidence in that, right?
	You know, I'm not a fucking Mario brother, you know what I'm saying?
	I ain't never plumbed shit.
	I don't know how to fuck with pipes.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Brandon, to be fair, we're all plumbers here, you know what I'm saying?
	Nah, I see what you did there.
	This guy.
	This guy.
	I have a comedy special.
	Take this show on the road.
	Take this show on the road, man.
	You missing your calling, nigga.
	You need to be on Theo Vaughn.
	Thank you, bro.
	See?
	He knows, man.
	That's my guy.
	Yeah, no, but it's like once you get good at something, you know, then you'll have confidence in yourself.
	Like, there's certain things I have the utmost confidence in myself.
	There's certain things I have very little confidence in myself.
	And that's okay.
	You know, like, you can't be great at everything.
	You don't need to be.
	If you get good at one or two, if you get exceptional at one or two things, Delegate.
	Yeah, but nobody...
	Oh, shit, man.
	This chick almost scared the shit out of me.
	I just turned around.
	There was a white woman over here, man.
	I ain't know what...
	Staring over me.
	I ain't know what was gonna happen, man.
	My brother thought I was...
	Where did she come from?
	Oh, shit.
	Entightment.
	It was like...
	Oh, shit.
	All those years are coming back.
	It's all good, man.
	I was like, nah, man.
	The baby's not mine.
	Yeah, that's crazy.
	Oh my god.
	What were you talking about?
	You should be a comedian, bro, honestly.
	People laugh when I talk, but I don't know if that means I should be a comedian.
	Because sometimes it's intentional, sometimes it's not.
	I feel like comedians, they plan that shit.
	I would never want to fucking put myself under that kind of pressure, man.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So that's the next thing you got to do, man.
	We should talk about...
	That's the last time it's gonna happen.
	You gotta get good at something.
	Something you can exchange for currency.
	Building skills.
	That's the next level.
	And the beauty is you can get good at anything.
	I really believe this.
	So if you read...
	Malcolm Gladwell's book, Outliers, and there's a lot of other books around the same topic.
	There's one called Talent is Overrated, another one called Talent Code.
	And they all come to the same conclusion that mastery, being world-class, anything takes about 10,000 hours.
	But that makes you one of the best in the world.
	Like, to make a few million dollars, you don't need to be the best in the world at most shit.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Right?
	Look at this podcast.
	There's dogs running around pissing and shit.
	Y'all not the best in the world, but y'all are really good.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I almost got pissed on, motherfucking white women popping out the closet.
	You know what I'm saying?
	It's like...
	But y'all fucking really good, and y'all better than almost everybody.
	Right?
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, y'all really good.
	10,000 hours, right?
	Check it out.
	I think after a thousand hours, you're fucking good.
	That's something I've noticed, man.
	After a thousand hours of practice on anything, and you can get there with just reps.
	Like, if you want to get good at sales, if you want to get good at marketing, you want to get good at social media, it's just reps.
	If you can get a thousand hours of practice in almost anything, you'll be better than almost everybody.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You play guitar for a thousand hours, you're going to get good at it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You play fucking...
	100 hours makes you not bad.
	I know that from, like, I play guitar, keyboard, and drums, and shit, and you practice an hour a day for three months, you'll be like, not bad.
	Not great, right?
	The motherfucking bitches ain't gonna throw panties at you, right?
	But it's like, It's like, oh, that guy's not bad.
	But a thousand hours makes you good.
	You can get good at fucking anything if you put in at least a thousand hours.
	So then you just plan it.
	Then it's just like, okay, plan that time in your calendar.
	Work at it.
	Get some skills.
	And if you really want to up the learning curve, get some sort of mentor or coach in that regard.
	That will take it to the next level.
	That really is a game changer is getting a coach, man.
	I don't think people understand how much time you save doing that shit, bro.
	Trying to figure it out on your own is literally stupid.
	Oh, it'd be like when you was in school, if you tried to, instead of having a math teacher, if you tried to invent algebra, right?
	Like, you don't even have to do that shit.
	Like, somebody can coach you through it.
	Like, motherfuckers already did the hard work for you.
	Someone's been in before, just follow their own map.
	Yeah.
	Pretty simple.
	I mean, listen, I... Some people would be like, weird, just like they're jealous of their friends.
	You guys have probably experienced that.
	I'm sure you have, right?
	At your level of success.
	Your friends get jealous.
	But me, man, I'd be wanting my friends to be more successful than me.
	Because that means when I go down that path, they've already smoothed it out for me.
	They can tell me what to avoid.
	For example, my boy Jeremy, we've both been working on this thing.
	I don't want to tell you what it was.
	But he got there first.
	He's made over a million dollars doing this thing.
	I don't want to say what it is.
	It's legal.
	But, you know...
	It's legal, right?
	For those that are wondering, Jeremy is a really good digital marketing professional.
	We had him on.
	We need to bring him back, actually.
	That's the homie, man.
	He just moved by me.
	Oh, he's...
	His balcony is as big as my whole...
	Y'all seen how big my crib is, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	His balcony is as big as my crib.
	Damn.
	Straight up, man.
	Pinouts or a regular?
	Pinouts.
	He got rid of the crib, the other one?
	He's about to move out of it in a minute.
	And now he's here in Miami.
	This is the last month of the lease on that, but now he's in Miami.
	But anyway, yeah, he's one of my best friends.
	But he was working on something...
	We'll bring him back, because a lot of you guys want to get into the digital world and get into digital marketing.
	We'll bring Jeremy on.
	Actually, y'all should come together.
	Oh, I'd love to.
	That's the homie.
	You know what?
	We got y'all niggas.
	We're going to give you guys some sauce, because Jeremy's someone we actually spoke with whenever we wanted to do our course and stuff like that, consulted with him.
	One of the best digital marketers in the fucking game.
	Legit one of the best.
	One of the best.
	Yeah, he was trained underneath Cardone and...
	Cardone and he worked for Tai Lopez and then he started his own...
	Now he runs a lot of their shit, right?
	A lot of...
	He doesn't run their shit, but anymore he used to run...
	He was running their shit for a while.
	He was running...
	What's his name shit?
	The Asian dude.
	Dan Lok shit for Mad Long.
	Oh, Dan Lok, yeah.
	When he was running his ads, he's the one who really ran it up.
	You know what?
	Fuck it.
	Let's do it next Monday.
	I hit him up, man.
	He's in town.
	Because a lot of people...
	The number one thing that people want to do is become influencers.
	Yeah.
	So it's like, bro, you know what?
	We'll fucking teach you guys and we'll bring on one of the best guys.
	Any big marketer that you guys see on the internet, Jeremy's had a hand in it.
	I promise y'all.
	Actually, we can get them a one-on-one on Castle Club, step by step.
	Oh, he'll break this shit down for you.
	Yeah.
	Castle Club.
	We got you guys.
	So light.
	So we'll bring him on and we'll do a Castle Club thing for y'all.
	His whole thing is getting people to a million a month.
	So you gotta have a big business to do that.
	He don't take on clients, but he'll come give y'all some game.
	He won't try to sell nothing because there ain't enough motherfuckers making a million a month.
	He can at least help guys get this shit started.
	He'd love to do that.
	But anyway, we were working on this thing and it cost him like a hundred grand to start having success.
	And because he did it first, Anytime I ran into a roadblock, he hit me up and I accomplished the same thing with 10 grand.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Because I avoided all the mistakes he made.
	That's what I'm saying.
	It's okay for your friends to be doing better than you.
	In fact, I'd be wanting my friends to come up, man.
	I'd do whatever I can to help my friends come up because if they do better than me, then not only do they smooth out the path for me, but God forbid some shit hits the fan and I need help.
	But if I've been helping my friends for fucking years or decades, then they'd be happy to fucking cash in some of that reciprocity.
	They'd be happy to, right?
	So it's like another form of insurance as well.
	But also, when you get to certain levels, it's like you want to have your homies there too.
	Of course.
	Like you don't want to be alone.
	You know, it's lonely at the top.
	But it doesn't have to be, you know what I'm saying?
	If you help other niggas get there that you're cool with, it'll be dope.
	That's true.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Alright, we'll give Brandon a break here and do some chats.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, we can, we can.
	Yeah, guys, get your questions in now.
	This here, Brandon's the funniest rich nigga they ever met.
	Oh, hey, thanks.
	What do we got here?
	Ten years ago, a 16-year video, Excuses Are for Bitches, absolutely, yeah, that's a great one, profoundly influenced my life.
	This speech, among others, played a huge role in shaping my financial success and my mindset today.
	Growing up, I faced numerous challenges, including personal failures, trauma, and a tough childhood.
	There were times when it all made me see myself as a victim.
	Your video reached me at a crucial young age and helped me break free from that victim mentality.
	Shout out to you, FalconPunch99.
	Yo, that's, man, let me take a picture of that.
	Absolutely, bro, go for it.
	Paco!
	Paco!
	Jeremy told me the same thing.
	Like he said, he was like trying to come up and he saw that video and he said, fuck it, man.
	I'm gonna do this shit.
	No, that's a great video.
	Is it still up right now?
	It's still up, I think.
	Yeah, go listen to it, guys.
	Go watch it.
	You guys feel soft.
	Or you're like, don't know where you stand.
	What else we got here?
	Over the years, I've returned to your speech during my lowest moments to help me out of them.
	And during my highest achievements to keep pushing forward.
	This past week, amidst personal challenges, I've had your video on repeat giving me motivation to move past my issues.
	Many lines from your speech are now tattooed in my mind, serving as constant reminders and motivators.
	Thank you, Brandon Carter, for the impact you've had on my life.
	Been a six-figure earner for the past four years.
	Good shit, my friend.
	That's a W, bro.
	That's what's up.
	Shout out to you, brother.
	I love to hear shit like that, man.
	Like, honestly, man.
	That shit...
	You know, obviously, we want...
	You know, we do...
	We're here to make money and all that shit, but if you can have an impact as well, it's super dope, man.
	But isn't it crazy?
	We don't really notice how much we touch people.
	Pause.
	Until...
	Until you're here in real life.
	Yeah, no, it's just like, you know, a lot of times they're not in a position to even tell you until they make the money and then it's years later sometimes.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Now it's dope.
	You might see people on a come up, you know, like I'd be at TSA and I'd be seeing motherfuckers saying, oh, and they on a come up and that's dope though.
	Like, it's like, yo, keep it up, brother.
	Especially if they're working.
	I love it when they work.
	It's like, my man working right now.
	He's going for it.
	That's what I'm talking about.
	Me and Myron, just a secret bro, we go to airport and travel.
	Some people know us.
	We skip the line.
	Oh, shit.
	Why don't you just get clear and just, like, everyone can do that.
	I got clear.
	Brandon, shut up.
	Oh, my fault.
	Y'all do without clear because y'all got clout.
	Y'all got clout.
	Clout is better than clear.
	I had to pay for clear.
	And it's free.
	I had to pay for clear.
	I got clear.
	Clear is free.
	Clear is free with the Amex.
	Yeah, it is free with the Amex.
	I think TSA PreCheck is too.
	I'm almost certain TSA PreCheck is free.
	I fly like 50 flights a year, man.
	Sometimes I barely stop from the fucking Uber to my gate, right?
	Because if you got clear, you just go.
	Sometimes I don't even stop walking.
	What else we got here?
	Falcon goes, excuse me for bitches, Brandon Carter.
	Yep, it's on YouTube.
	Shout out to Falcon, shout out to Falcon.
	Using your, use your calendar, because if you're not tracking, you're slacking.
	Kamala.
	Oh, what up, what up?
	Tune in hustles.
	Overview, if you want to launch an app, new idea platform, tune in next week, my friend.
	Tune in next week.
	Shout out to Brandon Carter, because we're going to bring Jeremy on.
	You probably sent that chat in before.
	Yeah.
	Shout out to Brandon Carter.
	Good to see him back on the pod.
	Also, I hope the hurricane dwindles down to something smaller.
	Shit's not looking good for all the people in the East Coast of Florida prayers.
	Are you going to be here for the...
	I mean, is it going to be that bad?
	Is it going to be bad, but not for us?
	Yeah, I think Central Florida and Northern Florida is going to get fucked.
	I don't think it's going to be that bad for us.
	Motherfuckers are going to die in Tampa and Orlando.
	I don't mean that as a joke.
	I just meant there's going to be some casualties.
	This shit is serious.
	People are kidding you out there.
	You should get the fuck out.
	The bridge from Tampa to Miami is like...
	You should get the fuck out.
	That bridge went on from Tampa down to Miami.
	It was packed today and it's going to be closed off soon, I think.
	What's that bridge?
	We're like four hours from them.
	No, no, but there's like a bridge in Tampa that you gotta cross to go on a highway.
	To like Clearwater maybe?
	I don't know.
	Because Tampa has two, you know what?
	No, because there's two different sides of Tampa.
	Somebody here is gonna, I mean, me and Fresh, as y'all can tell, we never go up there, bro.
	Never.
	We never fuck it.
	Yo, if you live in Miami, there is no reason to go anywhere else in Florida if you live in Miami, bro.
	You know, I took my son to Disney World.
	That's it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Fair enough.
	Yo, we had the VIP shit.
	We cutting in front of the motherfucking...
	Fair enough, fair enough.
	I told him, like, see, his dad...
	Orlando is like the only...
	Okay, Orlando is like the only thing...
	And you got a kid.
	But, bro, if you don't got a kid...
	Yeah, fuck that shit, man.
	I don't know.
	We went to Horror Nights last year.
	I don't even want to go.
	Horror Nights?
	Come on.
	That was fun, though.
	Wait, what was Horror Nights?
	You want to come with us?
	Universal.
	No, Horror Nights.
	Horror Nights.
	Horror Nights.
	Oh, I thought you said you went to Horror Nights.
	I'm like, Horror Nights?
	Nah, man, I got shit to do.
	We'll do a triple date.
	We'll vlog it.
	Me, you, Myron, bring our girls, and we get scared together.
	Pause.
	Well, I mean, if you're gonna make content out of it, I guess, but bro, I'm mad as hell every time I go up there, man.
	You know what it is?
	I get mad if I'm not in the studio.
	Going back to your disability.
	Come on, man.
	When I was a kid, I was in Barbados.
	I didn't have all these things that you guys have in America.
	Like lights and shit.
	Electricity.

	Look at this nigga in the orange.
	He's even black.
	Orange?
	I'm just kidding.
	I mean, I identify as a real ass nigga, but I'm not 100% sure of my origin.
	My dad was an orphan, right?
	He had brown curly hair and he spoke Spanish.
	You know what I'm saying?
	He didn't know his parents.
	You know what I'm saying?
	He had light brown eyes.
	He might have been...
	We're not confident, but you know...
	Are you breaking?
	We don't know.
	I never took the fucking DNA test.
	I probably break the machine, man.
	I'm the future, man.
	One day everybody's gonna look like me and Bruno Mars.
	It's the future.
	Yo!
	It's the future, man.
	Y'all looking at it.
	Like an X-Man.
	I said Nick Cannon got us beat because that nigga is popular in the world, bro.
	Niggas, I'm playing.

	Okay, we got Albo Ace.
	Shelter Brandon Carter, good to see you back on the pod.
	What up?
	Hold on, that one already.
	That one already?
	Yeah.
	One chest, a pack trucker.
	Oh, this one of the students, yeah.
	Coach Brandon, I've been with you for your online fitness program for less than a year.
	I've made thousands of dollars already even while working 7 to 9 hours a week as a full-time trucker.
	Best trip of my life, too.
	Muscles and money up.
	Because my money has leveled up because of you and Myron's example of you, now I make more money than my wife, and she now respects me more so because of your online fitness framework, brother.
	That's what's up.
	I'll see you tomorrow on the Zoom call.
	That's what's up.
	He's one of our students, man.
	This motherfucker is a trucker.
	He'd be on the Zoom calls from the truck.
	Yeah.
	He'd be trucking on the calls, right?
	And he'd be like, yo, man, I've been trucking for 70, 90 hours every week.
	But he still gets online clients.
	He's always on the Zoom calls, yeah.
	Yeah, he doesn't fuck around.
	He shows up.
	He shows up.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Cals Club OG too.
	Cals Club OG as well.
	See, I didn't even know that.
	I didn't even know that.
	Been asking for y'all to bring Big BC on for a while now.
	Thank you, My Honor Fresh.
	Shout out Brandon Carter, WFNF. See, they want you back on, bro.
	One side.
	Hey, man, it's good to be back.
	Shout out to you.
	Yeah.
	What else do we got here?
	So glad to finally see the big baller himself, Brandon Carter, back on Money Monday.
	He's been asking for him to come back on the show for a minute.
	This guy helped me to not be poor.
	I took his advice and was working around 70 hours per week across two jobs while working on my business on the side and managed to make enough to quit my job to go full-time on my business a few months ago.
	Also, Brandon, give these gentlemen that new thought repellent ASAP. I repelled this I have a free e-book as well.
	It's a free 10 commandments of online training.
	It just gives you the game.
	It gives you a primer in online training to let you know if it's something that you even want to do.
	You might read that shit and be like, you know what?
	This is not for me.
	You might read this shit and be like, this is exactly what I've been looking for.
	It's probably a bunch of stuff that you taught me as well, right?
	Oh, for sure.
	It's a condensed version of it.
	I was able to get a six-figure fitness business on the side while working as a Fed.
	So guys, definitely pick it up for free!
	You guys will probably get some shit for free that I have to pay for, nigga, so you better take it!
	Listen, motherfuckers.
	Jay-Z made the blueprint.
	Brandon made the commandments of online training.
	Exactly.
	There you go.
	Sean Carter.
	For you, guys, go get it.
	Definitely go get it.
	You don't have an excuse to not.
	Especially if you guys, you know, want to become...
	How many of y'all want to be personal trainers?
	Bro, I get this thing all the time.
	I want to be a personal trainer.
	I want to be a personal trainer.
	You know what I tell them now?
	I'm like, bro, you don't want to be a personal trainer.
	Do it online.
	Go to Brandon.
	Well, it's actually a better service for the client, right?
	Because...
	You know, here's the thing, you know, in-person trainer, I was a trainer for years in person, right?
	And I used to always like, man, if I could just get my fucking clients to eat right, right?
	So in-person trainer focuses on more on the diet, on the training and almost nothing on the diet.
	They might give them some tips, but they're not tracking their macros every day, right?
	Make sure they hit the calories.
	But you can't out-train a bad diet.
	You can't out-diet bad training, though.
	Trust me.
	You can't out-diet bad training.
	So with online training, what we do is we flip it.
	This is what we show people how to do.
	But what you want to do is you want to have a methodology where you can track your clients' macros and calories every day, right?
	In real time.
	And then you can hit them up every day.
	Hey, good job yesterday, right?
	Or what happened yesterday, right?
	And they'll be more accountable.
	And they had their diet right.
	And then it's like, you have them track their workouts, you don't have to worry, the form's not right.
	Listen, this motherfucker's not going to go to the Olympia, my nigga, right?
	Like, he's a fucking guy trying to get in shape, right?
	So, like, the form doesn't have to be perfect, as long as he's not fucking the shit up, right?
	It's really about the diet.
	And they work out on their own, and they log the shit, and your job is to keep them accountable, right?
	Give them the proper plan and the proper diet, and then keep them accountable.
	And you get better results for in-person.
	You get better results for online clients than you would for your in-person clients because of the diet aspect.
	I saw there was a study that came out.
	And you charge less too.
	You charge less.
	It's a better deal.
	It's better for everyone.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You said there was a study.
	It was a study from Duke University, and all they did was tell these motherfuckers to track their diet.
	They didn't give them no fucking plan, they didn't say caloric deficit, they didn't do nothing.
	It wasn't fucking keto, carnivore, fucking...
	Hey, motherfucker, just write down what you eat instead of putting anything in your mouth like a whore.
	Right?
	You know what I'm saying?
	Instead of just write this shit down, put this shit in.
	They had them just use MyFitnessPal.
	Just fucking track it for three months.
	And they just made sure they tracked it for three months.
	On average, after three months, the participants lost an average of five pounds.
	Right?
	Now, that's not a whole lot, right?
	But you've got to think, they didn't have a diet plan.
	They weren't no caloric deficit.
	There was no rules.
	Eat whatever you want.
	Just track it.
	The mere act of tracking causes performance to improve.
	Right?
	Because now they're more cognizant of what they're eating instead of just, you know...
	All they had to do was track.
	So imagine if you give them a fucking solid diet plan, you have them in a real caloric deficit.
	Because losing fat is not rocket science.
	Every pound of fat you want to lose, you've got to burn 3,500 calories.
	If you're in a 500 calorie deficit every day, seven days or a week, then you'll burn a pound of fat a week.
	That's 3,500 calories.
	It's just math.
	The whole shit is just math.
	You just gotta fucking track it.
	And if you track it, you can manage it.
	If you can't manage it, then you can't...
	It's literally math.
	It's just math.
	Let's see here.
	And modern technology has really simplified this too.
	What do we got up next year?
	When do you know it's time to bask in the fruits of your labor?
	I know the grind is important, but life is short.
	There's always more money to make.
	So how do millionaires balance work and pleasure?
	This is a good question for you, Brandon, because obviously you're kind of enjoying the fruits of your labor, getting nice watches, better clothing, versus sacrificing for damn near a decade plus.
	I like to present myself the way I present myself well.
	But the truth is, man, so when you reach the highest levels, to even get to the highest levels, you...
	If you're doing it just for the money, then you're going to stop when you get the money.
	That's what happened to my dad.
	When he got the money, he started...
	Slacking off.
	Yeah, enjoying the fruits of his labor, right?
	But if you fall in love with the process, right?
	When I'm talking about changing your association with pain and pleasure, right?
	Then it's like, oh, it's not about the money right now.
	It's not even about the money.
	It's about, I want to fucking respect myself, right?
	If I start slacking off, if I'm not working hard, like, how do I call myself a man?
	If I'm not actually doing everything I can to better myself, to make things better for my family, the people who I lead, am I really a man?
	I got 40 employees.
	They got goals.
	They got dreams.
	They got aspirations.
	They got kids.
	If I don't show up, if I don't go all out, then I'm disrespecting the privilege of leadership.
	You get what I'm saying?
	Like when you see the birds fly in that V formation The one in front is working the hardest.
	The aerodynamics makes it easier for the other birds to fly.
	The one in front, he's the leader.
	He's working the hardest.
	He's making it easier for the followers.
	The leader should be working the hardest.
	Being a leader is a privilege.
	It's not like, yo, I'm a boss, I'm a boss.
	No, no, no.
	It's like, if you're the boss, if you're the leader, you need to be working the hardest.
	I look at my employees, the people who fucking follow me, the people who pay me, I'm like, yo, I work for them.
	And if I don't show up, man, how can I look myself in the mirror?
	Some of us all just enjoy life shit.
	It's fine, but the problem is when people say it like that, like the way he said it, it almost makes me sad because I understand that he associates pleasure or enjoying life with You know, escapism, right?
	It's associated with partying, doing drugs, getting high, fucking bitches, and none of those things are bad within themselves, right?
	But if that's the only way you can find joy, then it's sad, right?
	Because you can't do that shit every day.
	You can't do that shit every day.
	You can only do it sparingly.
	What he don't understand is that I enjoy life more than him.
	Because I've learned to find joy.
	Some of us have learned to find joy in seeing how hard we can work.
	How much we can push ourselves.
	What kind of man we can really become.
	Actually fulfilling our potential.
	If you can learn to find joy in that.
	Then every day can be full of joy.
	Every day you can be actually enjoying life, right?
	As opposed to just wait, oh man, thank God it's Friday.
	Nah man, it's like, I'm happy when it's Monday because I feel like, oh man, I can put my jersey on.
	It's time to get in the game.
	I'm excited for it.
	I hope all of y'all find that, right?
	Because no matter what, you're going to work at least a third of your life, at least.
	But if you can learn to fucking love pushing yourself and love trying to get the most out of yourself and seeing how much of your potential you can actually bring to the surface, if you can learn to fall in love with that, Then every day can be, you can enjoy life every day, every minute, every day.
	I'm just as happy in front of my desk working all day, spreadsheets and shit, as a motherfucker who's on vacation.
	That's gold.
	You know what I'm saying?
	That's gold, bro.
	That's not enough.
	You know it's funny, being in Miami for 10 years, bro, 100%, I've seen people come in the industry, do drugs, coke, party nonstop, and then they just disappear.
	And I see guys that work hard, and they put business first, they'll party every now and then, just see what's up.
	There's nothing wrong with those things.
	But they're still here on the path.
	The rest of the guys that make a pleasure, number one, they're gone.
	Yeah.
	You know, it's like if you do it for the money or you do it for the accolades or you do it for the goal, you're going to stop when you get it.
	But if you're doing it for a higher mission, right?
	It's like, I'm thinking like, what kind of example do I want to lead for my son?
	I'm thinking like, yo, the people who follow me, man, what kind of example am I sending for them?
	My employees, man.
	These people are trusting me.
	Their life is in my hands to a certain degree, right?
	You know what I'm saying?
	Very true.
	And it's dependent on my performance.
	It's like if I... If I'm not pushing myself, then I'm kind of disrespecting the privilege of leadership, I believe, you know?
	Very true.
	What's up, bro?
	Very true.
	Being a leader is a privilege.
	Yeah.
	That you gotta earn every day, honestly.
	So that's a good point.
	What else we got?
	We got here...
	Fresh Updates.
	Fresh Updates says, Brandon, think about this.
	How do I stop protein farts?
	Please help, bro.
	My shit smell like Chris after he doesn't shower for three days.
	Yo, man, you know, you can get some shit from...
	I mean, it's not a problem for me, but if you get some shit, it's called a Beano, right?
	You take it when you eat and stop the farts and shit.
	You know, that's a good one.
	Yeah, you get out of CVS, you know.
	But it's probably, honestly, he probably just switched his diet up and his body's got to adjust.
	He's probably not used to a high-protein diet yet.
	Yeah.
	Because a lot of you normies, I keep it a thousand, y'all niggas might eat 20 grams, 30 grams of protein a day.
	Like, normies, they be eating all carbs, no protein, so for you, taking in all that protein, you're going to be like, what the fuck?
	But yeah, it takes some time.
	What else do we got here?
	Myron, I know you said you need to bring bullying back, but what about self-bullying, keeping it real with yourself and just acknowledging that you're a loser instead of someone else telling you?
	Yeah, but that level of accountability is very difficult to have on yourself.
	But there are some people that could do it, right?
	You look at someone like me, like Brandon Carter, etc.
	Yeah, we could look ourselves in the mirror and be like, damn.
	That wasn't good enough.
	We gotta do better.
	Yeah, but that's the key.
	It's that part.
	I gotta do better.
	It's not self-loathing.
	It's not self-putting.
	It's like, I gotta do better.
	I gotta do better.
	I fucked up.
	I did all this shit.
	No, no, no.
	I gotta do better.
	I gotta do better tomorrow.
	We are where we are, man.
	We gotta take it from here and win.
	Absolutely.
	And win.
	Yeah.
	You don't cry about it.
	You just like, do better.
	Right.
	Even if you fall behind.
	Even if you're behind.
	Pause.
	You gotta actually fucking...
	I gotta take it from here and win.
	You know Santos says hello everyone.
	I have a question.
	How do you cut off people that no longer benefit you?
	I'm the only one in my social circle that makes over a hundred thousand per year.
	Should I just ignore people no longer?
	Should I just ignore people?
	I no longer want around when they reach out or just take long to respond and never meet up with them I'm tired of being the smartest in the room Crowd out.
	Just crowd out.
	If your calendar is full of shit you got to do, you want time for bullshit.
	Yeah.
	Full your calendar up with the shit you want to do and you want time for bullshit.
	But, you know, if you got friends like that who want some bullshit, when there's time or opportunity for some bullshit, they may come in handy.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You feel me?
	You just gotta schedule them out, bro.
	And then put them in only when you feel like bullshitting.
	My fault.
	Are you supposed to be answering these questions?
	No, this is your money.
	I had a pre-workout before, and then you gave me this gorilla man.
	And then this shit got mad shit in it, so it's like, I could do this shit for hours.
	You're good.
	Your take, our take, whatever.
	We're prioritizing your answer, though, first.
	Nav Singh says, Brandon, can you talk about how it's going with your investment properties?
	Also, bring Tom Cruise on the show with you.
	Oh, yo.
	So, yeah.
	So, I've been buying Section 8 real estate, man.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that's awesome.
	I got a few units now.
	Nice.
	So, we get Section 8 properties, man.
	Are you buying commercial or residential?
	Residential.
	Single family shit.
	With Tom Cruise?
	Yeah.
	Tom put me on.
	What's Tom Cruise?
	Yeah.
	He does, like, sectioned properties.
	Yeah, not the actor.
	I know, I know.
	I was like...
	Yeah, Tom Cruise, in between Mission Impossible, he's helping me out.
	I introduce if y'all ever want to meet him, you know what I'm saying, but he...
	You know, anytime I want to learn something, I get a mentor in that, right?
	So, like, Tom, I was like, Section 8 sounded like the move because the government would pay for these broke niggas to live, and I don't have to worry about getting the rent from them.
	It's guaranteed by the government.
	So we just put a poor boy up in that bitch, Y'all buying it in Miami or other places?
	Oh, other places.
	Never Miami.
	I hate Section 8, but there's a reason for that.
	But that's a whole other discussion.
	I could talk to you.
	I mean, unless the audience wants to hear it.
	Yeah, go for it.
	What was your experience?
	I'm audience now.
	Flashback now?
	Yeah, we go flashback on this shit.
	Again, PTSD. So what I noticed with Section 8 is Section 8 is great if you're in a market where the rental price doesn't fluctuate.
	Like, if it's stagnant and you can pretty much, it's been like that for a bit, fantastic, because you get that money coming in, it's cool.
	The reason why it's not a good idea in Miami, guys, is because...
	The rental prices have gone up significantly.
	And then they're coming back down.
	So they're kind of volatile here because the market's exploding and hasn't really stabilized yet.
	So having Section 8 tenants, they'll be paying one price, then a year or two later, rents went up like 300, 400 bucks.
	You try to raise the rent on them, they can't afford it.
	Or what ends up happening is Section 8 will say, "Yeah, we'll pay a portion of it." - Yeah. - But then they gotta come in with the extra one or $200.
	Well, the problem is that people that are on Section 8 are really bad with money. - Yeah. - That's why they're on Section 8 in the first place.
	So they can't come up with that one to $200 that they're supposed to pay on their end.
	And then you're in a rock and a hard place as a landlord because you're like, "Okay, I'm getting a majority of it through Section 8, but I'm not cash flowing as much as I should." And that's where you gotta make the decision, right?
	Does this rent matter to you that much where you're gonna let this dickhead disrespect you, not pay you what they're supposed to pay you, or you could just kick them out?
	Me?
	I said, fuck y'all niggas.
	I don't need your money.
	Get the fuck out.
	So I evicted all of them.
	The problem with that is then you get vacancy and it's a pain in the ass.
	So I suggest, just from my experience, if you're going to do Section 8, do it in a stable real estate market where the cost of rent is pretty much stable.
	Versus like a Miami, where it's fluctuated so much over the past few years.
	Not a good move here.
	Also, getting it out of your place is another headache itself.
	What was that?
	Getting it out of your place.
	Oh yeah, eviction process.
	Luckily...
	Florida is a better landlord friendly, and I was able to get these motherfuckers out, but it is a pain in the ass dealing with Section 8 tenants because they're not the most reputable people a lot of times.
	If you ever wanted to get into, I know some motherfuckers.
	What's your experience with it?
	My shit has been pleasant, but I had time to help me navigate a lot of that shit.
	And you guys are buying in markets where rent is probably way more stagnant.
	The middle of the country.
	Like Ohio and shit.
	Then I'll take Section 8 all day over there.
	Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	So I got some wholesalers out there who find the properties.
	They get like a grand or some shit.
	And then you buy it.
	I bought my first crib, man.
	It was like $65,000.
	Bro, crazy.
	Midwest has some deals.
	Seller finance.
	They only wanted 2k down.
	What?
	Yo, 2k down.
	This is fucking nothing.
	They're giving you shit away.
	You know what I'm saying?
	They're giving you shit away.
	Shit, I might have to get what you got.
	And then we threw a fucking poor boy in there, man.
	The government was paying his shit, man.
	It's lit.
	You call him a poor boy?
	Yeah, poor boy, man.
	I'm sorry, man.
	I'm sorry, man.
	I meant to say broke niggas.
	I like that one better.
	Now, I'm about to get in with y'all then on that one because the Midwest, it's a great market.
	I just haven't tapped it because...
	I don't have a property manager out there or whatever.
	You need somebody, you need people out there managing that shit.
	I'm assuming he has people that do that.
	Yeah, and also you gotta like screen these motherfuckers, man.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So like the screening process is more important with Section 8 because motherfuckers ain't fucking broke for no reason.
	You just gotta make sure they're not, you know, on the fucking crazy list.
	But I'm assuming they're coming to you with the Section 8 already.
	They got the vouchers.
	They already got the vouchers, right?
	They got the vouchers, yeah, yeah.
	Oh yeah, but you don't want them selling drugs and doing some fuck shit there.
	You don't want them fucking selling.
	You don't want your shit to turn into the band-o, man.
	You don't want your shit to turn into the fucking trap house, you know?
	Yeah, what I've noticed when it comes to tenants, the biggest thing that I learned is like, income don't mean shit, because I had a couple tenants that make 100k per year still not paying their fucking rent.
	What matters the most is credit, bro.
	Yeah.
	Because when they gotta go credit, they're scared about that shit going down.
	Yeah.
	Yo, broke motherfuckers.
	You should be surprised, man.
	You do credit checks on Section 8 motherfuckers, too.
	Some of them got all right credit.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, man.
	Okay.
	Like, you just don't want to make sure it's, like, bankruptcies, crazy delinquencies and shit, but you weren't credit checks even on Section 8.
	Okay.
	So you gotta be a little stricter with these motherfuckers.
	Yeah.
	They got a voucher.
	And they check some of the values.
	So what are your prerequisites when you bring them in?
	So just good credit and they got the voucher?
	Just not fucking bad credit.
	No fucking criminal history.
	No fucking awful credit.
	And that's it, man.
	Really, Tom goes through more shit.
	He'll fucking look at their written history and shit, but he's more experienced than me.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, Midwest is fantastic if you're going to do Section 8.
	Yeah, that's the spot.
	Because the rental rates there are pretty much locked, bro.
	Like, there's people there that have been there for years with the same rent, and rent doesn't go up that much.
	Bro, $100 every couple years, bro.
	I'm going to keep it to being bro.
	Mommy's bad for business, bro.
	Everything's just like...
	Look at the marketplace, bro.
	It's fluctuating up and down, and people here already have money.
	So it's like...
	You mean real estate or...?
	Real estate, cars.
	I just feel like here is kind of like where you come to, like, retire.
	I used to feel that way.
	Making money here is different because we're online, so it's different.
	But our business itself, I don't know, bro.
	Well, nah, it depends on the business, right?
	Because if motherfuckers got money, they spend it too, right?
	These motherfuckers with restaurants doing pretty well for themselves.
	But lifestyle, luxury, that makes money.
	But other than that, how do you make money here in Miami?
	Other than the OnlyFans.
	I mean, you know, real estate.
	I know some real estate agents who do really well.
	I know some fucking car dealers who do well.
	I know some...
	I'm just trying to think.
	I get what you're saying, though.
	It's not easy, bro.
	Yeah.
	There's a couple, but not, like, a lot.
	You're saying, like, they were successful, then they came here after the fact.
	I know some doctors who make money here, like, especially, like, you know, the chicks, the doctors who help, like, the chick, because Miami girls spend a lot of money in their...
	The recovery homes and shit like that, right?
	That type of shit or fucking plastic surgeries?
	I think the average guy coming to Miami, how is he going to make money?
	The average motherfucker?
	The average motherfucker.
	I think what Fred's saying is they make money somewhere else, then they move their business here.
	They got some shit going, then they move over here and start their business and kind of move it over here, but they already had an infrastructure.
	I think he's what he said.
	Oh, you mean coming from rock bottom?
	Rock bottom.
	Oh, from rock bottom.
	Yeah, I can see how that can be difficult, especially with the high rent.
	I mean, it's probably like that with every big city, right?
	Like, you know, because it's...
	To make money...
	Okay, you need leverage.
	And leverage can come in the form of money.
	If you have money, you can invest and do some other shit.
	If you've got some high-income skill, that's leverage.
	Or if you have some sort of media, like your podcast is leveraged, you guys can find ways to make money.
	Kim Kardashian can do a post and you know make a million dollars, right?
	So you those are the three forms of leverage or blackmail like Diddy.
	Yeah, and if you ain't got the leverage though, then you got to get it somehow You got to put in the fucking just work, right?
	And then stack the stack them and that's why I said in the beginning you get to get rich You got to make more money you spend and invest a difference because that money you invest is the difference That's the leverage you can use to make more money.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Yeah But no, man, that's great that you got into real estate.
	I didn't even know, so we can definitely talk about that some more.
	Because I know that was something that you had mentioned before, but I'm glad that you're in the game now, so we can talk about that.
	What did he do?
	Find a mentor.
	Yeah, he got a mentor and he did it.
	And you're in a niche market, which is really good, because Section 8 is fantastic in stable rental markets.
	But not here.
	Yeah, just not good in Miami.
	The problem with Miami is that our rent, we haven't stabilized yet.
	The blow up from the pandemic and people moving here and abundance, etc., our rental markets haven't corrected yet.
	It's insane here.
	Yeah.
	It's insane.
	But now, here's the thing.
	I've actually had to lower my rent in some places because now it's slowly starting to stabilize.
	Starting to get back to normal.
	Starting to get back to normal.
	You lower rent.
	Inflation, yeah.
	Yeah, you're going to have to, bro.
	Because, and this is me just paying attention, a lot of the projects here stopped.
	If you notice, you see all the cranes all around and shit like that.
	They're in debt, bro.
	They're losing money.
	These apartment complexes, a lot of them aren't finishing.
	So I guess they bit off a little bit more than they can chew.
	Thought way more people were going to move down here.
	It's still growing and expanding at an incredible rate.
	But they...
	They scaled a little too fast.
	But you know what?
	Everyone was getting a loan.
	Foreigners, people come here.
	Everyone got a loan.
	Yeah.
	But it's fine.
	I'm lowering it a little bit.
	I mean, I'm still cash flowing because I got the houses such good deals.
	But yeah, I mean, to find a good deal in Miami now with interest rates as high as they are.
	Yeah, you got to go to the Midwest, bro.
	That's a spot.
	That's smart.
	And that's true.
	Bro, you could buy houses for like 60 to 60, not even 100K. Bro, you know what that is?
	Don't pay money for a Lambo.
	You could buy a house.
	Yeah, you could buy a house in the Midwest.
	What the fuck?
	Now, with that said, right, you won't be able to charge as much rent.
	Not at all.
	You charge like 500.
	Some shit like that.
	Three to 500.
	And you got to buy a lot more of them to make the same cash flow.
	That's the thing.
	You know what I mean?
	And you're dealing with a way poorer Like, demographic of people, bro.
	Like, you know, these are people that have never had $2,000 in their account in their life.
	See, I just don't want the headache.
	I want a business where I can avoid the headache or put it on somebody else.
	Well, Section 8 is the way.
	That's really good.
	And then they're paying it.
	Do your tenants have to pay any difference, or does the government cover all of it?
	In my spots, the government, when I have now, the vouchers, it covers, like, everything.
	That's the best way.
	Damn!
	Because the more money they have, the smaller...
	My guy had to pay, like, 500 bucks, bro.
	That's when he runs the Prouds.
	That nigga will pay like, yo bro, give me another week.
	Yeah.
	I'll get another week.
	Yeah, bro.
	No.
	Well, he was talking to you?
	Well, at first it was me.
	Then I realized, you know what?
	Fuck me.
	I'm the owner.
	Talk to this little woman and sister.
	She gonna run your ass up the street.
	Them motherfuckers don't know who own that shit.
	Yeah.
	That's the way to do it.
	But no, I wanted to get, you know, training was off, do it myself at the very beginning to understand the process.
	No, I understand.
	Yeah.
	Landlord.
	You have a middleman.
	Tenant.
	Talk to the party manager.
	And for everybody, if you guys want to get into real estate and you want to do Section 8, that's such a good thing.
	Now that we turn this shit into a real estate podcast, make it where the voucher cover is as close as possible to it, bro.
	Because what ends up happening if they have to pay a portion, because I ran into this shit so many times, oh, you got to pay $100, $200, even that little bit, they won't pay that shit.
	But hold on, you know why?
	They won't pay.
	It was all the guys, listen, brother.
	And they'll think that they can stiff you.
	Like, they won't pay.
	I said, man, I said, man, bro, you're Haitian.
	I'm from Barbados, nigga.
	We're both from the Caribbean.
	Tell me straight.
	What's going on?
	Well, you know, I'm in a lot of debt and ate a cat and a dog, but I owe some people some money on my credit card.
	I'll pay that first.
	And that was the thing.
	He's paying off his other debts first, rather than his rent.
	And I get it.
	But nigga, I got to pay my mortgage, bro.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, that's crazy that he prioritized his credit card over where he goes.
	That's stupid.
	Because he's like, oh, but you know what?
	I wonder how nigga like that became broke.
	Yeah.
	How dumb niggas like to have become broke.
	But the process to get him out with Section 8 is hard.
	Yeah, they know that.
	I could push this on a little bit further and it's paid off first.
	But again...
	But that's the problem with Section 8 people is that they're on Section 8 because they're really bad with money in the fucking first place.
	So, like, it's a pain in the ass.
	Or they owe...
	Like, if you can find some old motherfuckers who just own that shit, you know what I mean?
	They tend to be better.
	Oh, man, they not throwing parties.
	Yeah, they tend to be a bit better.
	But then they pay cash, and you gotta go in there and pick it up in person or some shit, or we'll have your person get it.
	Paying an ass.
	Or the government direct deposits that shit.
	Yeah.
	But you know what's crazy?
	Well, if they gotta pay a portion of it.
	His sectional officer got him a new spot less than two weeks after that.
	So they gotta hook up.
	No, I don't feel bad.
	I kick them nicks out because I know that they'll find something else.
	100%.
	But here's the other thing too.
	If you evict them, that could fuck up their Section 8.
	They don't want to get evicted.
	They don't want that.
	They don't want to get evicted.
	They don't want that.
	So a lot of the time...
	It's ways you can maneuver.
	Yeah, you're right, you're right.
	So that's one thing.
	I'm going to kick your dumb ass out.
	Listen, nigga.
	Get the fuck up now.
	You're homeless for real.
	But the best ideal situation...
	Flat rental rate market, and then try to get 100% voucher.
	And if you don't have money for that shit, for any investments like that, then you just got to work hard.
	I'm telling you, that's why I worked so hard those first two years, because I knew I needed leverage to do that shit.
	People say work smarter, not harder, man, but broke leagues can't work smart.
	That's why you broke.
	If you were smart, you wouldn't have been broke.
	So you got to work hard at first.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You just got to work hard at first.
	That's not true.
	What else do we got here, guys?
	We got to close out here because Brian's got to be up in like eight hours probably.
	Speaking of losing your money, which is a big waste?
	Aiden Ross spending six figures on lean or Jack Dirty crashing a six-figure car?
	Bro, I don't know.
	That's what happens when you make money.
	That's what happens when you're a millionaire in your 20s, bro.
	I think that's the worst thing that'll happen to you, bro.
	Jack is going to be fine.
	That car, I'm pretty sure, is insured.
	But he was texting while driving, though.
	So he might not cover that car.
	But guess what?
	That car's only worth like $120, $140.
	You could buy another one.
	Oh, is it really?
	Yeah.
	So actually, in a row, I'm spending more money.
	Was it McLaren?
	Yeah, McLaren.
	Okay.
	I thought McLaren was worth way more than that.
	Well, that's the 570S. This is a lower version, but...
	Talk that talk, man.
	No, no, no.
	I'm just saying, like...
	You got the cheap, man.
	You got the cheap, fuck, man.
	Just think about it, bro.
	Actually, you know what's Banner's strong point?
	He doesn't have a car.
	Nah.
	That's smart as fuck, bro.
	Smart.
	Dude, cars are libeling, bro.
	He's a New Yorker, bro.
	New Yorkers don't need...
	Bro, if you're from...
	Well, I already knew cars were scams, but he knew it was a scam being in New York.
	I just got my driver's license.
	My shit was suspended.
	No, what happened was, I got my...
	What happened was...
	No, actually, bro, it's common.
	A lot of New Yorkers have never driven a car in their life, never had a driver's license, don't know how to drive.
	Remember Locario?
	Locario doesn't know how to drive to this day.
	Oh, yeah, you're right.
	Super common with New Yorkers, man.
	It's just more convenient to not have a car, especially I was living in Manhattan.
	How many cars are burdened if you're from the city, bro?
	I was on 72nd and Broadway.
	Buy my car, bro.
	Buy the Rolls Royce.
	Oh, how much are you selling?
	Let's talk.
	Let's talk.
	I want to get a car for the tax write-off.
	I need more tax write-offs now.
	Actually, does that weigh?
	Yeah, that's 6,000 pounds.
	All Rolls Royces are over 6,000 pounds.
	There you go.
	What else do we got?
	Big Brandon Carter, get General Romulus and Run Young Candlestick.
	Young Candlestick.
	Those are the dudes that...
	So I have to run their stock trading program.
	Oh, okay.
	And we promote it.
	We make money in Romulus' Legion.
	Young Candlestick?
	Young Candlestick?
	That's the name we gave her.
	Yeah, Young Candlestick.
	Hey man, don't talk shit about Young Candlestick, big.
	You don't know what he's going to do to you, man.
	I'm telling you.
	What else we got here?
	Oh, I'm 31 years old.
	I live in a one-room bedroom paying $7.80 in rent.
	I recently got promoted at T-Mobile doing sales at Call Center going from $3k to $5k minimum monthly now.
	Okay.
	Been doing OT also lately.
	Thanks to UBC. Keep up the great work.
	Shout out to FNF. Come on.
	Keep grinding, bro.
	You know what I love, man.
	A month is not enough.
	You can do more.
	It's a good start, though.
	I got second job, third job.
	They heard me talk about it, and they said, oh, I'm going to stop being broke.
	I'm just going to work more.
	You can outwork poverty, man.
	You absolutely can.
	If you got a bunch of kids or some shit, it's different, right?
	But if you're a young man in your 20s, and you don't got a whole bunch of responsibilities, now's the time to do it.
	Because what you don't want to be is a 30, 40-year-old motherfucker with nothing to show for, but a bunch of funny stories still out here struggling.
	You see these motherfuckers, right?
	And it's like, I mean, they still got hope and shit, but it's like, it's easier when you're younger because you got no responsibilities and you got more vigor, right?
	You got more energy.
	You know what scared me, bro?
	Working at AT&T call center, bro.
	People that were 40 years old, 50 years old, still working there.
	And I was like...
	Nigga, wait, you're 40 years old still working here?
	Yeah, bro, you know, times are hard.
	I see you.
	I'm scared as fuck right now.
	Horror movie?
	Yeah.
	That was scary to me.
	So I said, I need to get the fuck out of here in less than a year.
	Just work more.
	Just work more.
	Man, listen, there's 168 hours in every week, right?
	If you fucking...
	If you work...
	If you sleep eight hours a night, that's 56 hours a week, plus 80 hours of working, you still have like 32 hours left each week, man.
	You just got to plan it in your calendar.
	Like I said, that's when I started planning, when I started working there.
	I was like, okay, if I need to get shit done, I got to plan this out.
	People actually hear the numbers that they got in a week for hours.
	They're like, damn, I waste a lot of time fucking off doing dumb shit.
	You waste a lot of time.
	The only four things a man has to do is work out, Work.
	Sleep.
	Spend time with their families.
	Or loved ones.
	Spend time with their loved ones.
	Whatever that means, right?
	Just average how much time you spend doing that per week.
	And if you don't have to spend time with your loved ones because you're a single guy, you've got no excuse to be better, bro.
	Motherfucker.
	You've got two, three jobs.
	Like, it'd be motherfucking young single guys.
	Man, what about family?
	Like, you talking about your mommy, nigga?
	Like, yo, man, like, you talking about spending time with your mom?
	You spending 40 hours a week with your mommy, nigga?
	Grow up.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Get out and be something.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, but you got kids, I get it, right?
	That's different.
	But, like, you young niggas talking about family.
	Be something to see your mom don't gotta work no more, bitch.
	Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	Yo, working.
	Biggest thing, work-life balance.
	Nigga, just work.
	Just work, man.
	And buy something by itself.
	Yeah, it really will, man.
	Even if you work, listen to math, 168 hours a week.
	Work 80 hours.
	Sleep 56.
	That's 8 hours a night.
	You're left with about 30.
	Some math nerd or agent will correct me.
	It's like 32 hours left.
	Just plan it.
	How much recreation do you need, man?
	And honestly, bro, in your 20s, You shouldn't even be having fun, you bitch-ass niggas, man.
	Why do you guys, bro, don't even deserve to have fun?
	I got a girlfriend, we need to go to the park and play.
	In my 20s, my 20s were miserable.
	I was in fucking South Texas, bro.
	The fucking Mexican border.
	Like, no friends, by myself, working all the fucking time.
	Like, bro, you just gotta fucking suck it up and suffer in your 20s, bro.
	I make his own deserve to have fun.
	The problem is that they watch these young streamers.
	They watch these Anna Rosses, these Lacy's, etc.
	Yo, look at them!
	They're making money and they're young!
	You don't want to be there.
	Because look, they haven't built up their prerequisite discipline to become a fucking man that people actually respect.
	That's why they do lean?
	Dumb shit?
	Yo, I mean, they gotta escape because they don't love themselves.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You gotta give yourself a reason to love yourself.
	But another thing is, it might not be fucking bad enough.
	Right?
	Remember, My father fucking blew his brains out and my fucking homies got sent to jail.
	One of my boys was murdered.
	So it's like my life was fucked up.
	And then it was the recession, right?
	So it's like they probably don't have a fire behind them.
	You get what I'm saying?
	If I look at the bright side, my shit was so bad that I had to go hard.
	You know that I built like good habits of work ethic.
	You know what's the worst?
	Being in a middle-class home where your parents are paying the bills, you're comfortable?
	Yeah.
	You don't want to change that.
	You might want more, but will you actually do it?
	No.
	Yeah, most people live in this purgatory where it's like they don't love their life, but it's not bad enough to make it change.
	Yeah.
	That's a hard spot to be in, man.
	That's actually one of the worst.
	I have some sympathy for these people because they don't know That there's nothing to push them to the next level, right?
	Sometimes you need...
	Sometimes, you know, if you want to be Bruce Wayne, your parents got to get murked in the alley.
	Sometimes 100K is, like, the worst because you made just enough that Bruce Wayne murked in the alley.
	What?
	No, for real.
	That didn't happen.
	Keep it around.
	Keep it around.
	It was an analogy.
	A catalyst.
	It's an analogy, right?
	Like, sometimes things got to get bad enough, right?
	And they don't understand how bad things can get, because they haven't experienced it, especially if you're young.
	If you're in your 20s, you don't remember the last recession.
	You don't remember that suicide rates fucking skyrocketed.
	They don't remember the fucking record unemployment.
	All they know is the motherfucking bull run from Obama to now, right?
	That's all they know.
	Record highs, stock rockets every year, hitting new all-time highs.
	That's all they know.
	They've never seen the downturn.
	So they don't know how bad it can get.
	Money is like oxygen, right?
	People say money is not the most important thing.
	No, no, no.
	You're right.
	Oxygen is the most important thing.
	It's the only thing I can think of.
	You can only go a few minutes without having it, right?
	If somebody fucking strangled, you couldn't get no oxygen, you wouldn't be thinking about family, your mommy, nothing of that shit.
	You'd be thinking about your next breath, right?
	Oxygen is all right, but money is the same way.
	It's like...
	You need to have enough of it that you don't have to think about it.
	Like, we have enough oxygen, we never have to think about it, even though it's the only thing that we would die if we didn't have it for a few minutes, right?
	It's the most important thing in the world, but we have so much of it, so abundance, we don't have to think about it.
	That's what money's like.
	You gotta get enough money that you don't have to think about it.
	And then...
	But also, you will never understand how important oxygen is until you're deprived of it.
	Then it's all you can think about.
	It's the same thing with money.
	They ain't never been there.
	And I can tell you guys, as a former nine-to-fiver, where I went from making 40-some K all the way to 100-some, working my way up in the government, One of the worst places you could be is in that six-figure range, in that lower six-figure range, because you're finally making enough money where you can start to kind of get a taste of the better life, and you're getting that government check every two weeks, etc.
	So it was actually really challenging for me to kind of like...
	Get myself in the mindset where I'm going to start a whole new business on the side and fucking do this shit because I got this already labor intensive job where I'm making a good amount of money in it.
	Like I had to take myself to another level and really the thing that I had sacrificed was all my free time that I had.
	Like hanging out with people, being social.
	Because mind you, I was on the Southwest border by fucking Mexico for like four or five years.
	I lost my 20s, bro.
	I didn't get to Miami until I was damn near 30.
	So when I got here, I was like, man, I want to have a little bit of fun because this sucks.
	I made this money, but I couldn't enjoy it because I was in fucking South Texas all the time.
	So I couldn't do shit.
	So I spent a year and I was like, ah, whatever.
	This is stupid.
	I'm going to do something different.
	So I obviously said I'm going to take a chance and start a business.
	But that's a point where a lot of you guys watch this right now.
	You might be making like 70, 80, 90K, 100K per year.
	And you're a single guy.
	That's a lot of money for you if you have a low cost of living.
	And you're like, well, do I really need to make more?
	That's when you really got to kick yourself in the ass.
	Is it worth it to come home every day after work?
	Sit there, drink your fucking beer, and watch the game.
	Do you want to keep doing that shit?
	Or do you want to double your income, start a side hustle?
	Maybe you can't watch sports, or drink beer, or hang out with your friends, but you'll be able to, one day, take your friends to the fucking game.
	Bro.
	What do you want to do?
	If you're not willing to sacrifice for your goal, then your goal has become to sacrifice.
	Those years when I was working on building my shit up and getting money, I sacrificed everything.
	I didn't really watch.
	I didn't have a family at the time, so that was an advantage.
	I had a mom, but I spent time with my mommy.
	She wants me to go out and do something with my life, be somebody.
	You know, I didn't watch football.
	I didn't watch basketball.
	And, you know, I love both of those things.
	I knew that because I'm black, right?
	So, you know, that was a sacrifice, right?
	I think sports is a big psyop, bro.
	It's a huge psyop, man.
	But now, because I was able to sacrifice, here's the thing, man.
	It's like delayed gratification.
	It's the sign of maturity.
	If you can put off what you want now for what you want most, then you can get a better version of that thing later.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So now you're on the floor at the heat game.
	Motherfucker, I'm at the floor.
	I just walk over there.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I sit on the fucking floor.
	Or one of my boys, he got a fucking sweet season tickets.
	He'd be like, yo, we got tickets.
	Alright, cool, man.
	I'll pull up.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Me and Jeremy got season tickets this year.
	You know what I'm saying?
	It's like, that's better than watching it on TV. I could've watched it on TV in Queens, or I remember trying to watch the game and I had to fucking pause it when that Long Island Railroad went by because it was so loud, right?
	You know, and it was, it's like, if you can sacrifice it, then you can get a better version of it, right?
	So if you can sacrifice fucking chasing bitches, you can probably get some badder bitches once you fucking come up.
	You know, once you build, when you build your money, your muscle, your mindset...
	Better quality chicks will be attracted to you.
	And you don't gotta fucking tolerate fuckery from them if they get out of line.
	Come on, man.
	You know what I'm saying?
	All bitches gonna be saying to you is please and thank you.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I don't argue with my girlfriend.
	Ever.
	It's fucking stupid.
	That's what poor niggas do.
	I argue with your girl.
	But you don't have to make that sacrifice.
	If you're happy where you are, like, I see, there'll be people who are going to comment, they're going to be like, oh, but you got to do this.
	Listen, that's what you want.
	That's cool.
	If you're not willing to sacrifice for your goals, then your goals become the sacrifice.
	But make no mistake, it's a sacrifice either way.
	You're either sacrificing the goal or you're sacrificing momentary pleasure, right?
	You're either sacrificing It's fulfilling your potential or, you know, this dopamine rush that you can have right now.
	Most of the things that you enjoy in the present are typically bad for you in the long run.
	There's exceptions, right?
	But, like, you eat some tasty treats.
	You're out here eating candies and cakes.
	It tastes good now, but in the long run, it's bad for you, right?
	From what I've seen, fucking heroin seems like the motherfuckers really enjoy it, right?
	But it's bad for you.
	It's bad for you long term.
	And the things that you don't enjoy short term are usually good for you long term.
	Like, I don't like working out.
	Like, you know what I'm saying?
	But I do it, right?
	You know, I don't like waking up at 4.35.
	I don't, you know, it's whatever, right?
	You know, I'm not a bitch either, right?
	But, you know, sometimes I want to sleep in.
	Especially my girl, man.
	She over here with big titties, fat ass and shit.
	I'd rather stay right there, right?
	But it's like, fuck it, man.
	It's time to get it.
	I gotta go get it, right?
	Like, you know...
	Because I know I'd rather chase victory than chase dope in me.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But if you're happy with where you're at, then just keep doing what you're doing, right?
	This is not the guys who say, man, but you don't have to argue with me about it.
	This is for people who went to the next level, who aren't happy where they are.
	If you're happy with where you're at, then man, first of all, enjoy it.
	Keep doing this shit.
	That's what's up.
	Most people want mindless entertainment.
	Let's just keep it a thousand.
	They just do.
	There's a reason why we do a stream like this that has less views than us having a bunch of chicks on here or some other mindless entertainment because people want to be entertained.
	They don't necessarily care about ascending to the next level.
	And that's fine because this isn't for everybody.
	It's not for everybody.
	It's like mathematically, it couldn't be, right?
	So it's cool that we got people that are willing to opt out, and most people aren't going to make that sacrifice, and that's okay, right?
	Like, I'm not one of these guys who shame a motherfucker, unless, of course, you complaining about it.
	Then you being a bitch.
	But if you're happy with what you got, man, then that's cool.
	I know some motherfuckers, you know, honestly, on some real shit, there's like a...
	You know, sometimes I look at these motherfuckers who are happy with a little bit of money.
	If it's real, if it's not just Cope, then it's like, oh, that's what's up.
	That's dope, man.
	I'm glad for you, yeah.
	Yeah, that's good for him.
	You know what I'm saying?
	There's no shame.
	I'm not talking to him.
	I don't know what to tell him.
	He's got what he wants.
	But if you want more...
	Then talk to me.
	Then let's go get it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I'll never forget, bro.
	I went on a date back when I first came to America, 2015.
	I'll never forget, bro.
	I was in a one-bedroom apartment, well, studio apartment.
	I had no TV. Came back over and she's like, you have no TV? What's wrong with you?
	But I had goals, you know, to hit.
	I didn't want to focus on watching TV, entertainment, none of that stuff.
	So then, fast forward now, seven years later, I bought my first TV. You know what I'm saying?
	80 inch.
	Come on, man.
	It went on another day.
	You got a better version of that shit.
	Girl came over and said, oh my god, it's so big.
	You know what I told her?
	What?
	That's what she said.
	That's what she said.
	There you go.
	No, no, no.
	No, but you got a better version of that shit.
	And it's probably a better bitch.
	But the point is, it's probably a better chick.
	Way better.
	But the point is, man, it's a toll road.
	We all got paid a toll.
	You paid the pay now or later on with Easy Pass.
	We all gotta pay it.
	You either chase victory or you chase dopamine.
	You can sacrifice the dopamine for victory or you can sacrifice the victory for dopamine.
	It doesn't matter.
	I'm not here to tell you what to do, but if you want to follow the path for victory, this is how you do it.
	If you don't want to do it, that's cool too.
	Like, hey man, ain't no big deal.
	I'm happy with my life, hopefully I'm happy with your life, but ultimately it's up to you.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Do your thing, man.
	But don't complain about it.
	Don't cry.
	That's one thing.
	There was a point where I thought I wanted to be a doctor.
	You know, I was like, look, I was a kid.
	I was like, oh man, Dr.
	Carter, man, bitch is a fucking show of nigga love.
	DC! I showed up with the fucking doctor shit.
	And then I realized how long they had to fucking go to college.
	I was like, yeah, I'm straight.
	And I wasn't willing to make that sacrifice for that gulp.
	But I don't bitch about it.
	You don't hear me complaining, man, this motherfucker's lucky he's a doctor.
	It's like, nah, man, I wasn't willing to make the sacrifice that nigga was.
	And that's okay.
	You know?
	I wrote this down because I think it's important for people to understand.
	Because you were talking about instant gratification and everything.
	So I think instant pleasure typically is going to lead to delayed pain later on.
	Yeah.
	Versus delayed pain is going to lead to long-term pleasure.
	Yeah.
	And once people can kind of understand that anything that's worth having is kind of gift-wrapped in a box of pain and you need to kind of go through the prickles and the pain of opening it up, you're going to get something that's going to last way longer than the person that wants to go in and get that instant pleasure.
	And the reality is that people kind of want instant gratification now.
	Pain is gift wrapped in pleasure.
	And that's what it is.
	It's the opposite of truth.
	I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off.
	I wanted to just emphasize the point you made.
	No, no, no.
	It's 100% true.
	Because if it's worth having, it's going to be wrapped in pain and you have to unwrap it and go through the pain of unwrapping it to get that long-term pleasure.
	But if you want to go in and get the instant gratification, that's cool.
	Just understand everyone else is doing it and there's a reason why so few people are actually successful.
	It's because they're able to delay that gratification for a very long time Years, decades, multiple decades to do so.
	There's something more sinister about that shit though, right?
	So you ever hear these guys tell you they lack motivation?
	Motivation comes from the hormone dopamine, right?
	It's not necessarily the pleasure.
	Hormone the way that people think, when they did tests on animals, what they realized was that it's a neurotransmitter that causes you to go for things, right?
	It causes go for things, right?
	So if you have a lot of dopamine, that's somebody who's going to be really going after the goals, right?
	What happens is, when you do these things that spike your dopamine, you know, vices, clubs, fucking random bitches, getting high, you know, all that shit, what happens is, after you...
	Experience one of those things.
	You get that spike, but then it's like it uses up your available dopamine, right?
	And what happens is it'll come back with time, but people, they keep doing this shit over again.
	The video games, devices, all these things over and over again.
	What happens is they never get their dopamine time to replenish.
	And then they wonder why they're not motivated.
	It's because they're wasting all their dopamine on empty victories.
	You get what I'm saying?
	But if you can...
	Sacrifice devices, what happens is you'll have more energy to put towards your thing because that energy will come from the dopamine.
	It'll make you chase something else.
	Your body's going to use that dopamine on something.
	But if you waste it on empty victories, you won't have enough to pursue your goals.
	That's just part one.
	The next part is that if I'm out partying and drinking and having fun, fucking ranting bitches all night, am I really gonna do accounting for my business the next day?
	We didn't even get into like the actual...
	The contrast.
	Yeah, what's gonna happen after the fact.
	We're just talking about the biochemical shit going on.
	Yeah, it's like if you've been in a fucking hot date and you go into a department store or something, and it's like the air hits you like...
	So good, right?
	It would have felt regular if you were in there all day, right?
	But it's the contrast from the hot to the cold, right?
	So contrast makes things seem more extreme.
	So the contrast is crazy.
	Makes you appreciate it, too.
	Yeah.
	You were rich your whole life.
	I mean, again, I hate to use young streamers as an example.
	Why do you think they're all depressed and sad and on drugs and shit?
	It's because they never experienced real poverty and adversity.
	They would have never pissed away an opportunity like that if they had been poor first.
	They're all either on drugs or on the business now.
	There is no up without down.
	But if all you've ever experienced is up...
	Then you don't understand what the fuck down is.
	You don't appreciate being up.
	It's a problem.
	And then it's just like, how do you do the stuff that's boring and work after a fucking night of fucking crazy shit?
	It's going to be way more difficult.
	It's going to seem worse in comparison.
	You get what I'm saying?
	Does that make sense?
	It'll seem worse.
	It'll be more boring in comparison.
	Absolutely.
	Any other chats here?
	And then we got to close this thing out, guys.
	We're going to react to Jack Doherty's crash as well.
	I'm a 20-year-old apprentice in the plumbing pipe fitting union right now, building a skill to give me leverage eventually, so I do martial arts.
	Any advice on property, I want to land in the long run.
	We talked about that earlier.
	This chat probably came up before.
	Look in a market where the real estate rental rates are a bit more stable, especially if you want to get into Section 8.
	And we had Chris Cron on as well.
	He has some really good options to where to buy.
	Yeah.
	Y'all had that fat motherfucker too, man, who's like good at real estate.
	Ben Mahler?
	I don't know his name.
	My father, I'll forget his name.
	I didn't know no other way to describe him.
	Ben Mahler.
	The God tier says, I started with nothing as a first-generation American.
	I make mid-six figures, have a stay-at-home wife, three kids, and work from home.
	I don't aim to be a millionaire.
	I have enough to prevent my kids from becoming spoiled when not working.
	I teach them math, science, and history while my wife handles the rest.
	I feel stuck with no clear direction in my free time.
	I read, watch podcasts, and volunteer at church.
	But it feels like purgatory.
	Any advice?
	Start a side business, bro.
	See?
	He's comfortable.
	He's comfortable.
	And that's fine.
	How much does he make?
	Exactly what I said.
	He used the same word.
	I said purgatory.
	It's okay.
	It's okay if that's all you want.
	If that's all you want.
	But he doesn't.
	He wants more.
	See?
	He wants more.
	Good example.
	Bro, make a side business, bro.
	Yep.
	And hell, you and your wife could do it if you guys want.
	Listen, read his free book about business.
	How does the foundation then go from there?
	Yeah, you could do that or you could do something else too, right?
	Like you might not want to be an online trainer, right?
	But you could do something, you know?
	And you know...
	He's in a privileged position where he doesn't need the money, where he just wants more, so he can focus more on something that maybe he enjoys, so he gets some intrinsic shit out of it.
	The worst amount of money you can make per year is one to a quarter million a year is the worst amount you can make, bro.
	It's a trap, bro.
	It's literally a trap.
	Matter of fact, because here's the thing, I hit that 300k, We're doing a branch program and then obviously working for the government.
	And I was like, damn, this is pretty nice.
	I could buy whatever the fuck I want.
	But I was like, nah.
	Like, I knew that I was good because I experienced it at the 120K. I was like, I was at that comfort thing and I was like, okay, I could chill here.
	I make enough.
	And then once I hit like 300, I was like, ooh, this is really nice.
	I could really chill here.
	But then I was like, nope, nope.
	I almost fell for this shit before.
	And I said, we gotta keep scaling up.
	We're forgetting, of course, taxes and inflation, too.
	Yeah.
	So you make some good money now, but a couple years...
	But now I'm like, 300k, LOL. But back then, I was like, oh, I could chill here.
	But guys, if you want more, the worst you could do is be comfortable, bro.
	I'm telling you, that's the worst you could do.
	And I feel you because I was right there with you.
	You know what I mean?
	I think the motivation for you is like, bro, 150k per year, even though that's fantastic, you ain't gonna be able to pay for your kid's college with that shit.
	You need something to force you to go out there and work harder.
	It's about raising your standards.
	He's going to have to raise his standards in some sort of way.
	And for me, one thing I do is, one thing to help me raise my standards is I save half of every dollar I make.
	So now I have to make more.
	But then you've got to remember you've got to pay taxes too, right?
	So you're only living off really 30-35% of what you make.
	You know what I'm saying?
	That, but I didn't want to lower my standard, you know, but I want to still have a high standard of living.
	So I got to make way more, right?
	So it's about raising, just raising your standards.
	You know what I'm saying?
	All right.
	Uh, what else we got here?
	He said the best guest on FNF, hands down.
	Just know what it is.
	The brookies get mad when we have Brandon on, but the niggas that get it, you know, they get it.
	Hey, listen, man, I love the hate, too.
	Like you said, man, like you can't appreciate the love without the hate, you know what I'm saying?
	So it's like, you know, it's all good.
	Urban Cowboy is probably chilling.
	He says, I'm broke, but I don't argue on my two to three girlfriends either.
	It's weak men mentality.
	All right, bro.
	All right, cool.
	So, Brandon, where can people find you, bro?
	Oh, man, you can find me, I'm on YouTube.
	It's the church.
	Brandon Carter is the one with a million subscribers.
	It's hard to miss.
	And then King Keto on Instagram is the one with a million followers.
	It's not easy to miss.
	It's not easy to find.
	It's not hard to find.
	I apologize.
	And yeah, those are my main platforms.
	I mean, I'll be on TikTok.
	TikTok is Big Brandon Carter.
	Brandon, if you've caught some time, brother, we should do a Zoom call with you and the Guys Castle Club.
	Whatever, man.
	You know what we could do?
	We should do it next week when we have Jeremy.
	Well, no, I want to break down scheduling.
	Oh.
	For example, he did a call with my guys, bro.
	Life-changing.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I would love to.
	I would love to.
	Yeah.
	We'll do it with you ninjas this week.
	We'll find the time and brand the schedule, and we'll do it for you guys this week.
	Just let me know.
	You know I make time for you guys, man.
	Myron hit me up over the weekend.
	I was like, yeah, man, I come through, man.
	You know what I'm saying?
	No worries.
	It's funny.
	I've been inviting this nigga to go to parties and bring his girl.
	He'd be like, nah, we got other shit going on in my schedule, nigga.
	It's important to be at like nine, to be starting at like 10.
	Bro, I'm usually sleep by now.
	I'm like, all right, bro, bring your girl out.
	Let's have a good time.
	He's like, nigga, 12 midnight?
	No, bro, I'm not going.
	12 midnight, I've been sleeping.
	He's been sleeping, yeah.
	Yeah, so no, we'll schedule it for this week.
	Maybe Tuesday or Thursday of this week, guys.
	When he has time.
	I'll talk with Brandon.
	We'll figure it out.
	Or early next week.
	And then we'll bring y'all Jeremy as well.
	But this was a W show.
	Thank you, man.
	Come through with some sauce here for the guys, man.
	And listen, bro.
	His advice is simple.
	Work hard.
	Yeah.
	Tech capacity.
	Don't give up.
	Don't be a broke.
	Make more money than you spend.
	Invest the difference.
	Over a long enough period of time, you'll be rich.
	I mean, it's like mathematics.
	You'll do it, you know.
	Bam.
	$2,000 a month in the S&P 500 for 10% average, you know.
	Over the past, like, 60 years.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So, $2,000 a month, take it, like, 20 years, but you'll have, like, close to a million dollars.
	Bam!
	20 years, right?
	Imagine if you put more, you know?
	Yeah.
	And that's what we want to do, okay?
	So, anyway, guys, love you guys.
	We'll be back with the Fresh and Fit news here, probably in about, give us about 20 minutes to reset.
	We got you guys.
	And we'll be doing news for you guys, man.
	The third show of the day.
	Let's get into it.
	Peace!
	Peace, guys.
